Photos changed from jpg to png?

I just bought a new iphone 4 from the Apple store because my old iphone 4 had a broken power button that could not be replaced. This iphone was working fine- it updated to iOS 7 and all of my contacts and apps synched onto it fine. Now I'm having a problem with my pictures. When it uploaded the pictures I had on my previous backup, it uploaded them in png format, not as a jpg. Now every picture I take on the iphone 4 is in png format which will not upload onto my iphoto on my MacBook Pro (which is from 2009). Ang suggestions on what to do?

Since an iTunes upgrade in May 2011, iTunes converts jpg to png if the artwork is added to multiple tracks using the get info window.  Artwork added to individual tracks in the get info window, or artwork added to multiple tracks in the artwork box on the browser (the lower left corner where it says "Drag Artwork Here" if there is no artwork).
Now, to add jpg artwork to multiple tracks, the artwork has to be added via the artwork box on the browser.  If there is existing artwork, this must be deleted first or the new artwork will not replace it bet will be added as a second file (this can be seen on individual track in the get info window).
The problem with conversion to png format is that the size is increased (doubled or more).
There are two problems with adding to the artwork box for multiple tracks.  First is the issue that previous artwork must be deleted since adding to the artwork box does not replace existing artwork.  Second is an issue which occurs if you are also playing tracks while adding artwork.  This is due to another problem with iTunes; that the artwork box changes automatically from "Selected Item" to "Now Playing".  If it is set to "Now Playing", the artwork is added to that track, and not the selected tracks.  Also, it takes a short time to add the artwork, and if iTunes switches to the next track in the middle, it stops adding artwork to the selected tracks..
So, to add jpg artwork to iTunes, you need to do the following:
1. Delete existing artwork from the tracks.
2. Make sure the artwork box title is "Selected Item" and not "Now Playing"
3. Drag new artwork to the artwork box
4. Make sure the artwork box does not switch to "Now Playing" while artwork is being updated.
I recommend not playing tracks while adding artwork, to avoid problems with either updating the wrong tracks or not completely updating the selected tracks.
And I wish iTunes was changed back to the way it was.  Using the get info window did not have these issues.

  • Photos change from iweb to safari ? HELP ?

    I wasn't having a problem with this before when I worked on my G5. Now, using my MacBook Pro, I put a photo in my template and it looks great - colors are great. I publish and when I go check it out, the photo is usually really RED in color. Looks horrible. On the blog pages it's like this, but yet the thumbnail picture is great - it's only when you go to that particular page.
    What the heck???

    First, backup your current iPod touch. (right click on your device in the left pane in iTunes then click backup). Once you get your new iPod, it should allow you to restore from a previous backup, (after you connect it to iTunes.) keeping most (sometimes not all) of your data. Hope it all works! If not, I would go to YouTube and look, I am sure you can find a solution there.

  • Emailed photos from iPhone using ios7 being formatted to bmp. How can I change to jpg?

    Emailed photos from iPhone using ios7 being formatted to bmp. How can I change to jpg?

    I just solved this issue! Here's the solution in case anyone else is experiencing the same problem: I had him link his phone number to his Apple ID by adding his his phone number to his contact in his Contacts List. After that, messages sent to his phone number are blue.
    I'm guessing his phone number was disconnected from his Apple ID when he somehow toggled off iMessage.

  • How do I create a photo in jpg or other photo format from a frame within iMovie11.  The suggestion I have found from earlier versions of iMovie does not create a jpg file that can be revealed in Finder. Help please.

    How do I create a photo in jpg or other photo format from a frame in iMovie. The previous suggestions on here do not create a jpg file when you chose reveal in finder when using iMovie11 and OS X

    First, get an app called MPEG Streamclip, which is free. (google MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5)
    Open MPEG Streamclip.
    In iMovie, select the clip you need. Then, right-click/Reveal in Finder.
    Drag this clip into MPEG Streamclip
    In MPEG Streamclip, move the playhead to the frame you want.
    In MPEG Streamclip, click FILE/EXPORT FRAME.
    Choose JPEG, TIFF, or PNG and give it a name.
    You can then drag this photo into iPhoto.
    Here is a video I made that steps through this...
    I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

    My iphone 4S previously saved photos in the jpg format.  Suddenly it changed to the bmp format.  How do I change it back to jpg?

    Photos captured by the iPhone are saved in jpeg format. A screen capture is saved in png format.
    There is no setting to change either one to be captured/saved in a different format.

  • Can I use Organizer to change the .jpg size of all photos in a folder in one batch process?

    We're using wa-a-ay too much disk space for a growing photo collection.   My daughter is a camera freak with four kids -- need I say more? 
    In my current test folder the sizes of the original photos range from 2.3 MB to 4.2 MB.  I picked one photo at random and printed the original and then three more, saved by PSE9 as .jpg files at maximum, middle, and minimum quality settings on plain letter-size paper, and again on 4x6 photo paper.  It takes a magnifying glass and a calibrated eyeball to detect a difference on the plain paper, and it's even more difficult on the photo paper.  I think I should relieve the pressure on the hard drive's capacity by reducing everything to a more reasonable size; after all, the minimum-quality print takes up less than one percent of the disk space as does the maximum-quality print.
    I have a hunch that I can accomplish this in a batch process with Organizer, but that's all I have is the hunch -- not the know-how.   I would like someone to step me through the process.
    I also expect a lecture on why I shouldn't do this.  Go for it; I'll listen.
    Thanks,  Bud

    You are the one to judge... Will you regret it if you want to use some pictures with the original size and resolution at a later time?
    Yes, you can use either the organizer or the 'process multiple files' command of the editor. But first you should think about two questions:
    - Are you ready to backup the full resolution and size files before the 'shrinking'? External USB drives with big capacities are available and affordable.
    - From what you are saying, the optimal size would be for files resized for 4" x 6" format at 300 ppi in jpeg quality 8 to 10.
    Resizing from the Editor: Use the 'process multiple files' command and click the 'Same as source' button. I would not do it without a sound backup first... This can be done folder by folder.
    Resizing from the Organizer : Use the 'Export' command. That command leaves the original and puts the resulting files in a new folder. The resulting files are NOT included in the catalog.This means that keeping your organization (categories, albums, tags...) will be tricky; same if you are using a folder organization system.
    Another solution with a third party software such as Faststone photo resizer:
    - Absolutely do a full backup before
    - run the resizing options in the external software so that the files are resized without being moved. That replaces the originals.
    - If you are using the organizer, your organization will be kept, but the file sizes in the catalog and thumbnail databases will be wrong. You can regenerate the thumbnail cache by deleting the thumbs.5.cache file in your catalog folder; it will be automatically rebuilt.
    That has worked for me in the past... no guarantee for you!

  • How do I find out if a photo in iPhoto is RGB or CMYK color?  How do I change from RGB to CMYK?

    How do I find out if a photo in iPhoto is RGB or CMYK color?  How do I change from RGB to CMYK?

    Open the file with Preview, type Command + i to bring up the Info pane and it's color mode and profile will be listed as shown here:
    To change the color mode to CMYK you'll need a 3rd party image editor like Photoshotp or GraphicConverter to do it.  Why do you need CMYK?

  • IDVD changed the order of photos imported from Aperture

    I created a project in Aperture from two different camera inputs. One had EDT and the other had PDT. I didn't think to make them the same time zone. After putting the combined photos in the order I wanted, I called the Aperture file from iDVD to create the slide show. IDVD changed the order. I am not sure what piece of Meta data it looked at to create its order. I had to go back into iDVD and recreate the order I wanted.
    How does iDVD decide which order when the file has a mix of photos not from the same camera?
    Thanks

    Photos recently changed from sequential numbering to date/timestamp.  When I import into apps for editing they are out of order.  What can be done to change back to sequential numbering instead of date/timestamp?

    The date information is taken from the camera which writes it to the file. This needs to be set to the correct date and time in the camera itself.
    The order the images are shown in the Library mode is set by clicking on the sort button in the tool bar, which if not showing can be activated from view, tool bar. There are different sort orders that can be applied including sorting by file name. You can also sort by dragging the images to the order you wish them to appear in by selecting user order.

  • How to change file formats i.e from jpeg to png etc

    can any one provide me help for that ??
    is it possible in java to do this kind of thing ????

    is it possible in java to do this kind of thing????
    You can't just generically go from one format to
    another.
    If you have specific set of acceptable image formats
    and video formats you can sit down and plan how to do
    it in Java.
    There are many formats that you can convert using
    Java but not all possible formats.can you give me any hint or code to do how to change media formats from one format to another
