Resizing images on iPad mini

How do you resize a saved image to fit the screen of an iPad mini?
My mams having problems with her iPad mini.
She has saved an image to her camera roll, and whenever she goes to make it
her wallpaper it blows up so that the image is bigger than she would like it to be.
When she goes to make it smaller it pings back to the larger imae size.
IS THERE ANYTHING I COULD DO THAT WOULD MAKE THE IMAGE FIT THE SCREEN???
Thanks for any help I get, it is greatly appreciated.

This is the image she is trying to make fit to her screen!!

I have found an app called "Background Optimizer"
Its a little bit tricky to use to get the image in the correct place, and size so that it doesn't zoom in to much, but it works.
you might have to try a few times to get the image size, and placing correct, and you have to make sure that the 'reduce motion' isn't on in the app when saving the image or it puts the image into the top left corner.
Its a great alternative.

    Instead of copying images (jpgs, etc) from my iPad Mini to my desktop PC, I'd like to do the opposite, that is, copy existing images from my PC files to my Mini without going through a multi-email process which involves resizing the images by experiment.
    I hope someday Adobe Lightroom can add this feature, but I'll settle for some simple transfer, perhaps by cable between my PC and my Mini.

    You can do it via your computer's iTunes. If you are on iTunes 11 on your computer then you may want to re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), which might make it easier to navigate and my instructions may make more sense.
    To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you've enabled the sidebar), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
    If you haven't enabled the sidebar, then from your library click 'iPad' at the top right of the screen and you should get a series of buttons along the top of the screen, including one for Photos

  • I want to make a slideshow to view on my television with image's duration ranging from seconds to an hour or more and I want to use my iPhone or iPad mini to control the television through my Apple tv.  I've been unable to locate an app that will do this.

    I want to make a slideshow to view on my television with image's duration ranging from seconds to an hour or more and I want to use my iPhone or iPad mini to control the television through my Apple tv.
    I've been unable to locate an app that will do this.  The Photos app that comes with the phone or iPad has extremely limited duration controls.  PhotoStream seems to load everything from my phone or iPad not allowing me to just load up a set group of images.
    iPhoto for iPad is getting some terrible recent reviews.  I tried a couple other free apps but they don't use Airplay.
    I can do something like this with iPhoto and my MB Air, but it's kind of ugly to have the computer open in order to connect by Airplay to my Apple TV.  I've thought the iPad or iPhone would be a lower profile controller.
    Am I out of luck?

    Thanks for your help.  Since I'm uninterested in loading all my photos (the only option) into photostream, I won't be able to use the settings in ATV.  I guess I'm just stuck with using iPhoto on my MB Air.  Thanks again.

  • IPad mini is slow when opening an image in photos

    I Have an iPad mini (wifi) and its slow when opening an image on photos. It takes 20 seconds to open a single image.
    I tried exporting my pictures to a usb and only stayed with 1,008 pictures.
    I Don't know what to do it worked fine when I first got it but this started to happen a year ago I'm stuck and don't know what to do.

    Greetings casielfromchula vista,
    After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing slowness. You may want to consider restarting the device first, and then resetting if that does not work. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    How to restart
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
    Drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
    After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
    How to reset
    You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

  • Adding one or two images from my PC to my iPad Mini

    With the help of fellow community members here and Apple Care, I've been able to copy images from my PC's hard drive, using I-Tunes, to my iPad Mini.  I've copied eight collections of photos and created eight "albums", one of which is family photos, to the Mini.
    I've been shown how to delete earlier copied images through I-Tunes simply by "unchecking" sundirectories on my hard drive, and, then, to copy new sets of images by creating new subdirectories and checking these new subdirectories on I-Tunes.
    Now, for the "family" photos, I'd like to be able to add one or two from time to time to the family album in the Mini.
    Do I:
    Add the new photo(s) to the family subdirectory on the hard drive and then copy the new, enlarged collection using I-Tunes, replacing the current family collection?; or
    Delete the family collection by going to I-Tunes and unchecking the box for the family subdirectory, then, in separate actions, copy the new photo(s) to the now larger family subdirectory on the PC and use I-Tunes as before to copy the enlarged family collection to the Mini?
    As long as I leave the remaning seven collections--as shown on I-Tunes--still as "checked" on the PC hard drive, will those 1) safely remain on the Mini as before, 2) disappear from the Mini, or 3) be duplicated on the Mini?

    It worked! A bit convoluted, since I'm not fully up to speed on iTunes, but I managed to transfer and sync as you described.
    I didn't realize that replying would take away my option to award points -- you should have had 10 points for this answer, sorry.
    Thanks again.

  • Cannot view embedded images in emails with iPad mini

    Hi there - I can't view embedded images in emails with iPad mini. Any reason why?
    Can anyone help?

    I am having the same problem + I cannot download pdf attachment effectively.
    This all happened after I upgraded the iOS to 7.x.  In iOS 6.x, everything was working fine. I was able to see all the images in the email and, when I clicked on the pdf attachment, it would ask me if I want to save the pdf file to iBook.  Right now, I cannot have either ones working.
    I am using iPad 2.

    What if you have a situation where Restore did not work. I do. The ipad mini says it is disabled, connect to itunes. When connected, it says that it is locked! I have tried using Recovery/Restore but after it completed, the ipad mini still malfunctions. It does not allow you to start the device. The slide image keeps dancing around the screen. The opening page keeps changing in size and the keyboard types on its own! What can be done to fix this????????

    Maybe a reset would help, to be followed by trying the recovery again.
    To reset, hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.  Then do the recovery.
    If this doesn't solve it, I recommend visiting an Authorized Apple Service Center.

  • IPad Air not resizing images properly

    if you go in through the photos app and send your image to be wallpaper you'll have a bit more luck.

  • My (wife's) iPad Mini loses included email photo images

    My (wife's) iPad Mini loses some included photo images when emails are sent to her.  We use a GMail server and iOS 8.1.2 .
    The email structure and text content are fine, but a series of imbedded images shows some images correctly, while some are shown as blank image shapes.
    I have been able to gain access to all images in the email by going online to the GMail server and forwarding it to a Microsoft PC.  Any help will be appreciated as it looks as though this might be an iPad Mini problem !!

    Thanks - but this is confirmed as the setting which was already "On".  But thanks for trying to help.

  • How to transfer album of images from desktop mac to iPad mini

    I want to transfer an album of photos from my desktop mac to my iPad mini. The photos are in a certain order that I want.
    1.  In iPhoto on my desktop, I went to Preferences > Sharing -- and checked "Share my photos" and "Share Selected albums:".
    2.  I checked only one album, the album I want to transfer. 
    3.  I plugged in my iPad mini using USB.  The icon appears on the sidebar in iPhoto.  Then it automatically syncs "477 images."  I don't know why this happens.  I only checked one album, as stated.  Regardless, none of those photos in the album transfer.
    Anyone have any suggestions?  I search internet for help, but the tips always send me to iTunes.  I don't see how to do anything with my photos in iTunes anymore.
    Thank you.

    You need to sync using iTunes on your Mac to specify which photo albums from iPhoto or the new Photos app that you want to sync to your iPad. Start iTunes on the Mac and connect your iPad. Then select your iPad at the top of the iTunes windows. You should be provided with a hint about where to make this selection.
    Select the Photos tab and choose to sync selected albums. Select the album you want to sync. The click on Sync or Apply.
    The selected album or albums will be copied to the iPad.
