Quality of shared photos on Instagram and Facebook

Since some time, more or less 1 month, when i post my photos on Instagram or Facebook, they lose quality and this did not happen before. Am i doing something wrong?

Here is the recent support document on Photo Stream Sharing:
iCloud: iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5902
Which photo and video formats and sizes does iCloud Photo Sharing support?
iCloud Photo Sharing supports JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and most RAW photo formats. When shared, photos taken with standard point-and-shoot cameras, SLR cameras, or iOS devices will have up to 2048 pixels on the long edge. Panoramic photos can be up to 5400 pixels wide.
iCloud Photo Sharing supports both MP4 and QuickTime video file types, and H.264 and MPEG-4 Video file formats. Videos can be up to 5 minutes in length and are delivered at up to 720p resolution.
My observations:
Photos taken on my iPhone will sync to my Mac in the original resolution of 3264 × 2448 (8,0 MP).
Photos taken on my iPad 3 will also sync to my Mac in the original resolution of 2592 × 1936 (5,0 MP)
Happy New Year!

    I plugged my iphone 5 into my iMac to sync. I ended up with Camera Roll, Photo Library, Instagram and Pictures. The Photo Library and Pictures have exactly the same photos in and I don't/didn't want any of them? How can I delete?

    I tried that to be honest. The best thing is, the albums I want to delete aren't even on my iMac!!!!! So not even there to deselect?? Not a clue?

  • Instagram and Facebook videos stopped playing on my mini

    I used to be able to play videos on my mini from Instagram and Facebook, recently it has not been working.   Instagram shows that's it's loading but won't play.  Facebook will play video more like slideshow pictures, chopped up. Sound works fine on both.  I have no issues with YouTube videos. Any suggestion?

    Okay, from a member of crackberry.com I have learned its a google issue that is affecting all OS 7/7.1 devices and that they are working on it

  • IPhoto resolution of shared photos on idevice and on PC

    Hi all,
    Would 1st off like to wish everyone a very happy new year!
    I've spent a lot of time searching for the answer to this issue and there seems to lots of conflicting information out there..
    My apologies if this has been discussed here before.
    I read that all photos shared through photostream are all scaled down to a "device optimized resolution". I have also read that the same shared photo stream on a PC has the full resolution photos. However the tests that I have done don't seem to support this. Does anyone have more information on what resolution is used for photos shared on a iPad, iPhone and also  a PC. According to my tests, a photo taken with a camera (not built in one) and imported into photos and photostream will have the resolution reduced quite significantly across all devices - including the shared photo stream on my PC. Photos taken using the iphone/iPad camera are also reduced in size, however appear on my PC photostream with a different ( also lower resolution).
    All very confusing. Other than emailing a photo is there anyway of sharing it with a friend/family member yet while maintaining the full resolution?
    Furthermore What I can't understand is why would Apple offer the ability to order photo prints directly from iPhoto up to the size of a large poster and yet reduce the resolution of the photo so much that it's barely possible to get a decent 6x4 inch print made?!?!
    Any further information and insight to apples strange crippling of photos would be greatly appreciated because as it is currently implemented it makes absolutely no sense to me.
    Many thanks,
    P.

  • Instagram and Facebook

    I`m new on Instagram, and forgot to accept the connect to Facebook. Where can I find this in my iPhone 4S? The Instagram helpguide tells me how to set up this on my iPhone, but I can`t find the on/off button for Instagram in the Facebook-settings. Help?

    I finally have sound thanks to this site!...
    Essentially:
    - double tap the home button
    - swipe finger to the right & the orange music icon + play controls will appear at the bottom of the screen
    - the sound icon will likely have a slash through it, indicating that the sound is muted --> tap the sound icon to remove this slash and turn the sound on
    That's it!
    *I also discovered that this set of controls provides quick access to altering screen brightness (located beside the sound icon), as opposed to adjusting it via settings (which is more time consuming)!!
    Below are the directions provided on the site I referenced, which I paraphrased and provided additional details to above. Read these if you need further explanation:
    "Open iPad “Settings” -> “General”, if “Use Side Switch to: ” is set to “Mute”, then make sure your iPad’s Side Switch is not turned on.
    If “Use Side Switch to: ” is set to “Lock Rotation”, then double tap the “Home” button, swipe from left to right on the task bar, until reaching the first page. Make sure the “Sound” icon is not set to Mute."
    I hope this solves your sound problem!

  • Sharing photos on PC and MAC?

    I am new to MAC (3 months.) I now know that having both managed and referenced libraries in iPhoto and/or renaming or touching anything in the iPhoto libray itself is BAD! Before I fix what I have done, I want to make sure my ging forward strategy will work.
    My ISSUE: how can I access the same photos (from the ext drive) on both my PC and my MAC.
    I have 25 years of photos/scans on an external hard drive, filed by year and "event" name etc. I want to use those photos in my new MAC, but also still need to use my PCs (both at work and at home).
    *If I do what everyone suggests and "just let iPhoto import and manage the files" - can I still use those files on my PC?*
    If yes, can I access a photo that I edit in iPhoto? (that is, if I crop, enhance,or otherwise edit a photo using iPhoto and it only stores it in the iPhoto libray...But I want to use that edited photo in a print project on my PC...how do I find it, use it?)
    If not, do I need to maintain duplicate libraries?
    thanks

    How do you access the HD from both Mac and PC?
    I do this but only by network not direct hookup.
    If you are plugging the HD into one or the other I may have a solution for you.
    I have all my photos in folders organized the way I want them.
    Then I set iPhoto to NOT import the files when I add them.
    Preferences > Advanced > make sure the selection of "Importing: Copy items to the iPhoto Library" is not selected.
    That way the photos (files) will stay where you put them and the data in iPhoto will still organize and do it's thing on them.
    And if you modify a photo with say Photoshop the new file seems to automatically update in the preview of iPhoto.
    Works great for me.
    Here is what I have been doing...
    1. When I got my MAC, I copied all of my pictures from my PC onto a portable HD (WD passport).
    2. Then I attached it to the MAC and used iPhoto.
    3. I added new photos only to the passport HD and edited them in iPhoto.
    What I was _planning / hoping_ to do is move those photos back to the PC for use in other applcations. But apparently the editted photos aren't on the HD anyway, but on the MAC (in the iPhoto library.)
    But I understand that using a referenced library is not a great idea.
    (Also, initially I did copy some photos into iPhoto and apparently having a both managed AND a referenced set of files is DOUBLY bad!)
    So what I need to do now is fix whatever I "broke" and get a plan to go forward!

  • How do I get "verification code" to allow sharing photos via email and photomail with PSE11

    I have just install, yesterday, Photoshop Elements 11.  Cannot get it to allow me to share photos via email or photomail.  Message appears stating that a verification code is required, with a note that an email has been sent to our email address, which is listed on the line above...but no message ever comes.  There is also a button to click that says "resend email" and using that does nothing.  What do I do next?

    I have same problem.  I just purchased a new computer and re-installed PSE11, and this verification process appeared.  I have received no email.

  • Sharing photos between IPad and MacBook Air

    Hi
    How can i import some photos recorded into my IPad and save them into my MacBook Air? I mean, how can i share photos between those equipment?
    Thanks
    Jorge

    The simplest and most efficient way would be to use Photo Stream as described here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2605
    Photos on your iPad will immediately appear on your MacBook Air in iPhoto -- as long as your MacBook Air is reasonably recent and OS X and iPhoto are current.

  • Sharing photos from apps to Facebook

    I have several photo apps but none of them seem to let me share a photo to one of th pages I admin, only my personal page. This makes no sense so i assume I'm missing something
    Thx

    Hi Paul,
    I know your tags show an iPad2, but just checking - are you trying to share from your iPad or from a Mac (or PC)?
    Thanks,

  • Are shared photo streams permenant?

    I realize photos on photo stream only last 30 days and holds your most recent 1000 photos.
    In order to organize my photos I have made "shared photo streams" that are stored on the icloud.  Are these going to go away at 30 days or can I use this as a system for backing up my pictures. I am assuming these "shared photo streams" count towards my total iCloud storage.
    Thank you.

    The shared photo streams don't expire, but they are not suitable as a backup, they are meant for sharing photos with friends and family. Photos are only stored in a reduced size. You cannot restore your photos in a full quality from the shared streams.

  • Sharing videos in shared photo stream?

    I just wondered if anybody had any luck with sharing videos to a shared photo stream? At first I thought that the Apple servers couldn't keep up with the demand, but it seems to have been quite a long time now and still no signs of working! I even called technical help, the lady I spoke to wasn't even aware that the feature existed, I had to direct her to the iOS seven feature page on their website! I was tempted to turn shared photo streams off and on again to see if it would work but don't fancy putting them back on.. (Especially if it won't work). If nobody has had any luck does anybody know what they are doing to put this feature right?

  • Sharing photos on Facebook and Flickr

    Hello. I'm a little concerned that photos I publish to Facebook and Flickr will be removed from these respective sites if they are inadvertently deleted from within IPhoto. What would happen if I reinstall OSX and start from scratch without restoring anything from TimeMachine? Would the two sites replicate with the new install, and then remove photos because they're not in IPhoto? Please advise before I invest a lot of time in using this new feature. Thanks in advance.

    But won't they be removed if you then sync a new Library with FaceBook?
    I don't think so because the new library isn't the old library. In other words, unless you specifically are able to relink an album in iPhoto to a set in Flickr (and I assume the same is true for Facebook), iPhoto would have no way of knowing those photos are on Flickr (or Facebook). Even with the same names I doubt it will link up with the online versions. At least with the Flickr sets, iPhoto keeps a direct link to the set.
    For example...
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/pakphotog/sets/72157617564040837/
    would be a set link. And you would have to somehow reassociate that link in iPhoto.
    In my own experience in Flickr (I don't use Facebook), I have had uploads of set out of iPhoto go wrong where for whatever reason the upload stalls and you have to cancel out. Any photos that did make it to Flickr are orphaned by iPhoto and a Flickr set isn't created in iPhoto. If you then retry the album to flickr, it will reupload the same photos again since it doesn't know they are already there.
    I have found that to be a rather frustrating problem with iPhoto and Flickr. I would love for iPhoto to have a way to upload to Flickr and NOT manage where they are in flickr including the ability to leave them in Flickr but not iPhoto.
    For this reason I have been using FlickrExport for iPhoto, a third party plug in...
    http://connectedflow.com/flickrexport/
    which allows you to do things like upload from iPhoto to existing Flickr sets or several different sets among other things. My only complain with that plug in is that it appears to disable iPhotos built in Flickr uploader which I still like to use as well (useful for uploading new full albums going into the same set). So the unfortunately work around seems to be to move the plug in out of the iPhoto folders and relauch to use built in flickr upload then put back and relaunch to use the plug in.
