My new 4GS is taking really poor quality photos, how can I improve them?

I'm trying out the camera on my new 4S and am shocked at the poor quality. I've taken the same photo in the same light etc with my 3GS and the image is much better, I can see more detail and the texture is smoother. My 4S images look terrible!
Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a way to alter the settings? Thanks in advance.

Hi there, i am an iphoneographer from OZ, and i am having the same issue, i have switched from iphone 4 which was upgraded to IOS5 to the 4s with the IOS 5. Since owning the 4s i have had nothing but noisey pictures in low lighting conditions, including cloudy days night time occasions indoors ect, even when using flash.
I have used different apps, including the standard apple cam, king camera, Pro cam, Focus Plus, and the quality is all the same with the noise, but yet when i take the same pictures with the iphone 4 (which my other half has now) in the same lighting they are fantastic quality. I'm not clear here what the issue is as being an iphoneographer/Photgrapher i though i knew a fair bit about the iphone but this has really stumped me and left me no choice to send out a call for help and ask if other people out there are in the same boat, and have any advice on what possibilities could help fix this, as i miss the quailty on my iphone and dont want to have to swap back to it. Cheers LJ

I caught my phone 4. Had to buy a new one, lost all contacts, and calendar photos. how can I recover them

I caught my phone 4. Had to buy a new one, lost all contacts, and calendar photos. how can I recover them?

What does "I caught my phone 4" mean?
All contacts, calendars, photos etc should be on your computer as the iphone is designed to be synced to your computer.
Just sync them to your new iphone.

Having arranged some scanned pictures in an album in I-Photo how can I keep them in the order I have chosen when I move the album. They all have the scan date and not the taken date and move to new positions if I move them from one album to another.

Having arranged some scanned pictures in an album in I-Photo how can I keep them in the order I have chosen when I move the album. They all have the scan date and not the taken date and move to new positions if I move them from one album to another.
Is there any way to re-number them in the order I have chosen so that they can then be sorted by number? The scans are all from pre-digital images that I wish to move to a photobook and I don't want to have to organise them twice!
Thanks for any suggestions.

I was a bit short, Chris, sorry. It is limited, what can be posted, when typing on an iPad.
Now I am back on my Mac. I meant the following: Batch Change the date for a large range of photos, that should have a date stepped in increments.
Select all Photos at once and use the command "Photos > Batch Change".
Then set the date for the first photo and select an increment, e.g. one minute.
Now all photos will get a new date assigned, incremented by one minute, in the sequence you have selected. So you will be able to sort them by date. This way it will be unnecessary to change the titles or filenames.

New iPhone contacts accidentally synced to Exchange server, how can I get them into my Mac?

I've been adding a lot of contacts on my iPhone lately and now I wanted them synced to the Address Book on my Mac. This just wouldn't work for me, none of the new contacts would turn up on the Mac, no matter what I tried. After pulling my hair plenty it turns out I had the iPhone set up to sync contacts with the Exchange server from work instead of with my Mac.
Question is, how do I get the contacts from either the Exchange account or the iPhone into my Mac?
There doesn't seem to be a way of changing, on the iPhone, to which account an already added contact should sync. Or is there?
I must say it's pretty ******** that you cannot just choose to import all contacts from the iPhone to the Mac. Or, at the very least, have the option to choose to what account you want to sync a new contact WHEN YOU'RE ADDING IT. As you can choose between all your calendars when adding an appointment.

The new photos app doesn't show all of the thumbnails for my Photostream photos, how can I make them show?

I recently updated my mid-2010 Macbook Pro 15 inch to 10.10.3 Yosemite and I am now using the new Photos app. My Photostream shows missing thumbnails for more of the recent photos, I let it sit for an hour and they still don't show. Any tips to make the thumbnails show quickly? I have tried disabling photostream and reactivating it which didn't work. The thumbnails do eventually show only if I view each specific photo, but it would take forever to select each one to make the thumbnail show

Hi,
Thanks for that tip and I got as far as that as well with Apple Support but for me the subsequent syncing doesn't work.
I have just returned from another visit at the Apple Store where their top level Genius (if such a thing exists) wanted to see it for himself. Rather worryingly, neither he nor Apple head office has an answer for why this isn't working.
To summarise, I connect my iPhone 6 (all up to date) with my MBA/iTunes via USB cable. The sync tab under the iPhone allows me to sync my photos via USB and I get a dropdown menu to chose from iPhoto or Photos Sync. Both libraries in same location but iPhoto works, but Photos says there are 0 pictures and won't sync...
The Apple genius was going to try it himself tonight at home. He has my number and has promised to phone. In the meantime my question remains. For those of you who do not use the Cloud for storing pictures could you please confirm the sync is working for you as described above. Thanks

IPhone 5 flash on camera stopped working when taking photos & poor quality photos

iPhone 5 camera flash stopped working when taking photos and poor Quality photos . Flash still works when in torch mode .

Hey there Jimbo,
It sounds like your flash has stopped working on your phone and you noticed a decrease in image quality.
I recommend a few troubleshooting steps here. Start with closing the running apps on the phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the phone and test it again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:

All the very best,

Poor quality Photo printing with the HP Officejet 6600

Is anyone having a problem with the HP Officejet 6600 having very poor quality photo prints?

Hi HereInJersey,
Welcome to the HP Support forums. I understand that printed photos from your Officejet 6600 don't have the quality that you expect.
I have included the "Fixing Ink Streaks, Faded Prints, and Other Common Print Quality Problems" troubleshooting document. It has detailed steps to take to improve the quality of your print jobs.

How can i improve burning quality of dvd.looks fine in preview on idvd,but final burn quality is poor/

how can i improve burning quality of dvd.looks fine in preview on idvd,but final burn quality is poor.

Had same problem with iPhoto pictures and poor burn quality. Went back to original picture file and dragged images into idvd project from there. Set encoding at professional quality and burned at slowest speed. Got very good result with high quality slideshow when played on TV.
Also tried Old Toad's Aug 30, 2011 advice to get a slideshow into iDVD with transitions, music, etc. from iPhoto.
Again the quaility of the burned CD was very good.

Why am i getting poor quality photo prints after installing lion using canon pixma 6120?

After installing Lion, I began experiencing poor quality photo prints on my Canon Pixma 6120 printer. Prior to Lion, my picture prints were all high quality. Now, anything black in the picture is faded.

Lion should not cause the blacks to print faded. The printer drivers used by Snow Leopard and Leopard are the same version as that used by Lion.
For starters I suggest you check that you have the latest version installed. This Apple KB article shows the MG6100 series has v10.51.2.0 as the latest version.
I also recommend you do a Nozzle test print. This can be executed from the MG6120 control panel or via the Printer Utilties window (via Print & Scan, select the printer and then open Options & Supplies and then select the Utilties tab).
If the nozzle test print is okay but the blacks still look faded when printing photos (note the printer has two black ink tanks - one for photos and one for text) then try a reset of the printing system. This will remove the MG6120 from the Print & Scan pane but not the supporting drivers. So you will only have to add the printer again.

HT3255 my MacBook Air and iPhone 5 has been stollen, how can i block them. They were new. Never used.

My MacBook Air and I phone 5 has been stolen, how can I block them. They were new and unused.

If they were "unused", then it is very unlikely that "Find My Mac" or "Find My iPhone" is set up in order to locate, erase and/or remotely disable the systems.
All you are really left with is ordinary law enforcement in order that you report the incident and hope that they surface in that manner.

How can I improve picture quality...now grainy after IOS update!

How can I improve picture quality...now grainy after IOS update!

Hello, dreamer5th.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are some troubleshooting steps that I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue. They are labeled for the iPhone; however, the steps also apply to your iPad. Also, make sure to test the camera in well lighted conditions as this can affect picture quality.
Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.

I lost the original dock to my 2nd generation ipod shuffle, I have a new charger but it doesn't work. How can I charge it?

I lost the original dock to my 2nd generation ipod shuffle, I have a new charger but it doesn't work. How can I charge it?

If by "charger," you mean the USB docking cable, you need the original cable (or a compatible third-party replacement cable). A cable that is for the current 4th gen (and 3rd gen) shuffle does not work with a 2nd gen shuffle, because the connector is different.
This is the Apple replacement part (for a 2nd gen shuffle)
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA694G/A/apple-ipod-shuffle-dock
There are third-party products that work, but make sure it is described as being for the 2nd gen shuffle. And I would avoid the ones that just seem too cheap, because there are likely to be quality issues.

My new 4GS is taking really poor quality photos, how can I improve them?
