Pictures app

Problems with pictures app. on Mac. Not possible to copy from pictures to disk. Must drag to disk. The original date and time stamps for the picture changes to the copy date and time. If I do the same from iPhoto, the original date and time stamps will be like picture taken. I can copy an paste from iPhoto.
Pictures is not an app I can use because of the date and time problem. Is there anything I do wrong?

You do mean the Photos.app application, right.
Is there anything I do wrong?
Yes. Regarding the date and time stamp you do realize there are two different types, right? 1 - The EXIF Image Capture Date that the camera adds to the file when it's taken and what Photos uses and stays always stays with the file. 2 - and the file created date, which the Finder uses and can change often when new copies of the image file is made.
So you need to determine which date is the one you need to use.
If it's the EXIF capture date there's an Applescript to change the title of the image to the date and time it was taken: Photos for Mac: Batch Change the Date and Time to a Fixed Date
Once you do that you can export the photos out of the library with the option selected to change the file name to the Title. That way it'll be easy to determine when each photos was taken after it was exported.
There are other scripts by léonie posted in the Photos User Tips: Photos for Mac User Tips

No pictures show in either the Pictures app or filemanager after 2.0

I can see the pictures across a USB connection, but they dont show up on the playbook. The pictures App is blank with just the wood background, not even the sample pictures show up.

Mine do are they in the wrong folder perhaps.

Pictures App won't open anymore

When i press the Pictures App it will not open. A windows appears but then quickly disappears. My photos are now in the File Manager App but if I click on a photo and try to open it it won't open. The Pictures App appears and disappears again.
If I take a photo it goes to the File Manager but again I can't open it.
This is only a recent problem. I have taken many photos and they were stored in the Pictures App with no problems. Luckily I have managed to transfer them all from the File Manager to my computer but I would like to carrying using my PlayBook as a camera and be able to show the photos to others.
Has anyone any ideas to what the problem is????

Mine copes with 9,000 200kB photos. Is your collection bigger than that? There will be a limit that will break the app.

When I plug my phone on itunes, there's a "toolbar" at the bottom that shows me what is in my phone ie: music, picture, apps... what does "other" stand for ??

Picture app wont open

its just as the title states, so i was saving a picture from the internet and when it got done i went to the picture app, and it tries to load my pictures folder for about 5 seconds, then it cancels out to the home screen. I have already tried hard resetting 5 or 6 times so my questions are:
A. is my only option a restore?
B. Will the 2.0 upgrade sync back to my ipod after the restore?

First try connecting to your PC, and you may be able to delete the photos as part of the transfer (this can be done with iPhoto on the Mac). Else, you'll need to Restore. Your 2.0 upgrade will be reapplied with the restore (i.e. you won't lose it).
Hope this helps...

Pictures App and Large Photos / Large Photo Directories

A problem I've run into from time to time... I have an SLR camera that shoots 18 megapixels. So yes I have some rather large jpg files. Anywhere between 5-9 megs a peice...
I shot my family Christmas and wanted to throw the whole directory onto my Playbook to pass around the following day. However, after transferring the folder, it did not show on the Playbook.
After running them all through a resize tool, the folder shows up...
Is there a maximum image size on the Playbook? Anyone know what the threshold is? Is there somewhere I can report this to be fixed?

The Pictures app builds a thumbnail catalog in the background. It may wait for the thumbnails to be completed before showing the album.
Files & Folders has a thumbnail- & slideshow view which uses the EXIF thumbnails that your camera already embeds in the photo, so that may be a bit quicker. Take the trial version for a spin.
Still, the file- and memory management of a tablet isn't really optimized for this kind of use. Better to split your huge folder into a few smaller ones.

Can't delete album in Pictures app on Lumia 920

I used my Lumia 920 phone as a flash drive for random files.
One time I uploaded a folder of music files to: My Computer\Windows Phone\Phone.
Then, one day I opened Pictures app and found new album there. It was called "Artwork", I deleted it, but still whenever I open Pictures app the album's still there, just empty. Tried deleting that folder trough Windows Explorer, but no luck, phone still shows it, though it is deleted.
Tried creating folder with same name: no music, just one random picture, and phone showed it (not creating a duplicate Album) then renamed that folder, it magically renamed in picture app too! but then again, deleted it, and it is showing up empty with different name now.
By the way, the folder "artwork" was inside the folder of songs, so in picture app it was "folder in folder"(maybe thats the bug). Something like: My Computer\Windows Phone\Phone\Group name\Artwork
This is good example of what problem I have:
http://forums.wpcentral.com/windows-phone-8/234610-%5Blumia-920%5D-picture-app-bug-cannot-delete-pic...

I've created an account just to post a solution! I'd had the same problem for weeks and I finally figured out a solution today:
(Don't forget to exit the "Photos" app using the back button before connecting the phone to a computer)
1. If you haven't deleted the album folder using a computer, do it (open the phone memory on a computer and delete the folder).
2. Create a new folder and give it the same name as the album in question.
3. Copy a new random picture into the folder.
4. Unplug the phone and make sure the new picture's showed up in the gallery.
5. Connect the phone to the computer again and rename the folder to some gibberish, a single letter (like "a") is enough.
6. Unplug and make sure the album's name's changed in the gallery as well.
7. Connect the phone again and rename the folder to "Sample Pictures".
8. Unplug and check the gallery again, the album should be named "8".
9. Tap and hold the album and delete the sucker.
The steps above worked for me when nothing else had. Steps 3-7 are mostly just check-ups, they might not be essential but they indicate that you're doing what you're supposed to and that everything works as expected.

How do I setup where my pictures, apps.. goes when I backup my iphone or ipad?

How do I setup where my pictures, apps.. goes when I backup my iphone or ipad?

There are instructions here : http://www.apple.com/iphone/find-my-iphone-setup/ (the setup is the same whether on an iPhone or an iPad). You can then use either the Find My iPhone app on another iOS device, or the me.com site from a computer, to locate the device (to work the device needs to be turned on and 3G and/or wifi connected)

Mail & Picture apps

I cannot access to all my email accounts (3 in all) . The mail page is blank.. nothing at all. I went to Settings , then Mail.. it wouldn't even show my Email Accounts.... and the monitor will go blank after a few seconds, then the Apple logo appears (you normally see when restarting device) .. then the box asking for passcode appears. Picture apps is also not accessible . The usage in the Settings .. General is also not accesible.

Try a rest: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

My phone keeps saying the storage is full so I deleted pictures, apps, and all my texts. Then after I do this my phone freezes and I have to restart it. When I restart my phone then everything I deleted comes back. What is going on?

HI Shelby,
It sounds like your available free space is not reporting properly. I would start by quitting the Settings app:
iOS: Force an app to close
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 device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
If the issue persists, backup your device to iTunes, then restore it as new and verify that it works.
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
If it does, then restore your backup to either verify it still works and the software just needed reinstalled, or isolate the issue to the backup file itself.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Sterling

I've resolved my problem now. It wasn't iphoto: preferences:@ that I needed but iphoto:preferences:general where there is the option to choose email for sending photos. Can't believe I missed that before.

Playbook 32G - Picture app corrupting picture files or Flash Memory bad ?

I have a Playbook 32G loaded with lots of pictures, mostly ~ 1 Meg each.   The pictures displayed correctly for a while and then the picture started to appear blurred as if only partially loaded.   I have over 5000 pictures in multiple folders. Once the files started to display blurry image, they stayed that way even when I closed the application and even re-boot (cold restart) the playbook.
I finally reloaded all the pictures after a security wipe, and it is doing this again.   Any idea whether this is a bug in the pictures app or a defect in the unit.   I am about the call support but I don't have the unit with me so I don't have the serial number.
Any suggestions on what I can check.   E.g. any filesystem check app ? diagnostic app that I can run on the flash memory.
p.s. running the latest OS2.

@Sinious: Hi, thanx for your opinion, but even if you think that i'm total idiot - i DON'T run anything except Flash itself at onec! I'm not absolutly stupid :-). And i even mention it in my first post - "I have opened only my Flash app ..." So - it's not that case. About 300dpi images - they arn't so big as you expected, they have something abou 1200px width, maximall 5 MB in size. The exported .swf file have something about 25MB, so it's not sooo big and i think that Flash can handle this. So - i don't run anything exept flash and my images arn't so big as you expected. Now what? And you thing 16GB of RAM is nothing? Well - maybe for som 3D modeling programs and video editing, but for Flash? I don't agree with you. I'm able to work with flash on my personal computer just with 4GB of RAM. And my pagefile means nothing? Then why, when i use that "trick" by allowing "App can handle > 2gb adress space" help me out? Why i suddenly can finish my project with all my 300dpi photos and more than 15 scenes with product presentation? And viruses and malware - of course i have toolf for handle them - again, i'm not compleat idiot :-). And in the end - i even have just couple of weeks clean installation of my system. Next problem is that you only speaking about my memory issue, but you forgot all my other problems. If there was only "you have low memory" problem and nothing will cras, i wasn't so mad about it. So - thanx for your opinion, but you are in most cases wrong.
@gerubach: thanx - i did it before, of course, that was first thing, but it didn't help. What hepled was that process wich i describe in my 3th post. Really - i haven't memory problem sinc then. As you say, we can't do much about it, exept using some freeware alternative. I don't want to give them propagation here, but ther are some very interesting out there. One of them even seems really cool, but i found it too late :-) Will try it next time. If you want to know about it, send me PM.
