SELECT photos from cameraroll to put in dropbox (NOT the whole lot!)

Several previous responders have shown how to synch the whole cameraroll with dropbox.
OK, but I don't want to transfer ALL my photos to Dropbox, only some of them.
I tried marking some pics as "Selected".
But at the point where other operating systems would show you a "Copy" button (ie to copy the pics selected) the Ipad shows nothing - if there was a way to copy, presumably the pics could them be pasted into Dropbox (not that dropbox shows a Paste button, but I suppose it might if there was something to paste).
I also tried the Itunes file manager, which does copy and paste files. But it can't see the cameraroll or DCIM or whatever - it seems that Apple have not allowed what every other phone or tablet does. But maybe there is a file manager for Ipad out there, which CAN see the Camera Roll - if so, info much appreciated.
Meanwhile, frustration is the name of the game.

Open the Dropbox App, tap on the °°° icon at the top. Then tap on "+Upload. "  Tap on an album and tap on each photo to select it.
When done tap on "Upload."

  • Removing old photos from iPhoto to external HD but not the library

    Hi I have just purchased a new external HD.  I already have one which is used with Time Machine for backing up my mac.  My problem is the mac HD is not that big and my extrenal with time machine is also getting full and after reading around I discovered that it will start to erase old backups to replace with new ones.  My problem with this is that I have used Time MAchine as a way of storing home movies and films exteranally as they take up to much space and therefore are no longer on the mac itself.  I bought a new disk so that rather than being a backup i can simply store files there and when needed plug it in if i want to use them ie videos old photos etc.
    I currently have smart albums set up in iPhoto for each year so photos automatically drop into these depending on when they were taken. 
    I would like to move the older albums straight to an external and delete from my mac.  How do I go about this as deleting the smart folder wont delete the originals and can I drag a smart folder to an external drive?  If not how do I find photos taken by year move them across to the external and delete the original.
    Thanks

    Hello there MrCoates14,
    You are correct, deleting the photos from the Smart Album will not remove the originals from the computer, and based on what else you want to do with iPhoto, heres what I recommend.
    First you can export the photos in the Smart Album to an external drive, as outlined in this article iPhoto '11: Export a photo found here http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2438. Note: At step 1, you want to highlight ALL the photos in the album, not just 1.
    To export photos:
    Select the photo or photos you want to export.
    Choose File > Export.
    At the top of the Export Photos window, click the File Export button.
    To specify the file type for the exported photo, choose an option from the Kind pop-up menu:Original: Exports the photo as it was originally imported into iPhoto, before editing.Current: Exports the photo in its current format. If you imported a RAW-format photo and then edited it in iPhoto, the photo is exported as a JPEG file.JPEG: If you choose this format, choose an option from the JPEG Quality pop-up menu. The higher the quality, the bigger the photo. For example, if the photo will be used on a website where optimal quality for printing isn’t required, you could choose Low to save storage space on the website.TIFF: A lossless file format that works well for transferring photos between computers and applications.PNG: Another lossless file format popular for web images.
    To change the size (resolution), choose an option from the Size pop-up menu:
    For photos to be emailed or mainly viewed onscreen, these settings compress the photos (making them smaller):
    Small: Use for photos you email or publish to websites where you don’t expect anyone to download and print your photos.
    Medium: Use when you or your recipients have a reasonably fast Internet connection, such as DSL. This setting is not suitable for making prints.
    Large: Use this setting when you and your recipients have a very fast connection. This size can be used to print small to standard-size photos (2 by 3, 3 by 5, and 4 by 6 inches).
    For photos to be printed or published for download, these settings provide maximum detail for final prints:
    Optimized: Use for larger prints and for publishing photos to websites for others to download and print. With this setting, photos are slightly compressed to a smaller file size so that they download faster without compromising quality.
    Actual Size/Full Size: Use to make high-quality prints in small to large sizes, or to upload photos to websites so that others can download and print them. This setting matches the actual size of your photo, so it may take longer to upload or download.
    Specify your other options:Include checkboxes: If you choose JPEG or TIFF from the Kind pop-up menu, you can include titles, keywords, and location information with the exported photos by selecting the checkboxes.File Name: Choose whether to export photos in sequence, or by their filenames, iPhoto titles, or album name.Prefix for sequential: If you choose Sequential from the File Name pop-up menu, you can specify text to appear before each number (for example, Birthday01, Birthday02, and so on). This step is optional.
    Click Export.
    Choose where to save the exported photo files, and then click OK.
    Then when they are all exported you can Create a New Event from the photos in each album to group them all together in Events, so that when you delete the new event with all the photos in the album in it, they will be deleted from the library. Here is the article for that named iPhoto '11: Create a new Event found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2364.
    You also have the option to iPhoto '11: Move your iPhoto library to a new location if you just want to move the entire library to the external drive and use the library from the drive directly: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2506
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • Why does pressing the L key twice (to cycle through dimming modes) remove a selected photo from a collection?

    That's my question, Why does pressing the L key twice (to cycle through dimming modes) remove a selected photo from a collection? Is my system the only computer that does this when I follow Adobe's directions to cycle through dimming modes by repeatedly hitting L? If not, how dumb is this?

    Hi,
    Check below things
    ---ManagerRendered attribute is transientAttr and type:Boolean
    ---${oa.viewInsatnce.ManagerRendered} ...paste in Readonly property of the item.
    OARow detailsRow = (OARow)detailsVO.*first()*;
    String position=(String)detailsRow.getAttribute("PositionCode");
    String firstname=(String)detailsRow.getAttribute("FirstName");
    System.out.println(firstname); The firstname is got from detailsRow correctly if I entered it on page.
    if ((position == null) && ("PRESIDENT".equals(position)))
    detailsRow.setAttribute("ManagerRendered", Boolean.FALSE);
    else
    detailsRow.setAttribute("ManagerRendered", Boolean.TRUE);

    Hi, I am having a little trouble with exporting images to another drive and Catalogue and need some help if anyone can give me some advice
    I am currently using Lightroom 5.6 and operating on a Mac with OSX Ver 10.9.5.
    I am receiving an error problem when doing the following -
    I am exporting selected photos from a particular Catalogue saved on Drive 1 to a folder created on another Drive where a Lightroom Catalogue has been created. In this Catalogue I have arranged for the images once exported to be moved to a different folder - I used the Auto Import process under the File dialogue box.
    When processing the Export I receive an error message for each of the images being exported indicating the following -
    Heading Import Results
    Some import operations were not performed
    Could not move a file to requested location. (1)
    then a description of the image with file name
    Box Save As                                  Box  OK
    If I click the OK button to each image I can then go to the other Catalogue and all images are then transferred to the file as required.
    To click the OK button each time is time consuming, possibly I have missed an action or maybe you can advise an alternative method to save the time in actioning this process.
    Thanks if you can can help out.

    Thank You, but this is a gong show. Why is something that is so important to us all so very, very difficult to do?

    I have 2?

Also want to convert all Apple works docs to pages docs on my IMac. Is there and app available to do the former. many thanks. b

    The iPad and related software is designed to sync with only one computer. I suggest transferring the photos from one of your iMacs to the other so that all photos are on one Mac. Same for all other files you want to sync over.
    To get those AppleWorks files to the iPad you'll have to determine if Pages will open them. If it will then use the file sharing feature of iTunes to copy them to Pages on your pad.
    If Pages will not open the AppleWorks files directly you'll have to save them in some format that Pages will read. These include but may not be limited to Pages and Word formats.

  • Importing selected photos from Digital Camera

    More than a question, this is a suggestion to the Apple developers of the iPhoto software. There are two options or tools I would really appreciate to have in my iPhoto version 5.0.4
    1. Ability to import selected photos from my digital camera or memory card reader.
    2. Ability to select the albums I want to burn to a CD or DVD.
    I hope you can include these basic functions to your well appreciated iPhoto software.
    If any Apple Discussions Member agree with this request, please join me asking Apple for these useful tools.
    Best regards,
    Pablo

    There may be a more "elegant" solution, but you can do it manually.
    1) Go to the finder. Look for the mounted Camera (the Camera mounts just like your drive, DVD, or Disk Image). You can find this on the Desktop or in list of volumes on the left side of any window. My Camera mounts as "NO NAME".
    2) Double Click the Camera "Volume". Keep Double Clicking (Opening folders) until you get to the picture images.
    3) Select the ones you want to Add/Import to iPhoto.
    4) Drag these on the iPhoto Icon in your Dock or in the iPhoto window, which will perform the import.
    Hope this helps.

  • Contacts - how to get faces icon to appear so that I can select photos from iPhoto?

    In Contacts when I try to edit and select a persons photo all I can select from is buttons labelled Defaults, Recents, and Camera.  I have heard there should be a Faces button which would allow me to select photos from iPhoto.  In iPhoto I have applied names to my photos. Any idea why this button does not display for me?  I am on a Mac Pro.
    Thanks

    After posting my question found links to others who have reported the same issue.  The fix for me was to do the following:
    Closed out of both Contacts and iPhoto (may not have been necessary but I did)
    Clicked on Finder application
    Clicked on the GO button at the top of the screen
    Held down the "alt-option" key so that the LIBRARY selection would appear.  Clicked on LIBRARY.
    Clicked on the FILE button at the top of the screen and selected NEW FOLDER.
    Named the folder Images
    Launched the Contacts application.  Edited a contact and when I go to edit the photo I now have the FACES button.

  • Pull selected photos from iPhoto in TimeMachine

    Some time ago a fully backed up MacAir died. It had some major infections so we didn't use TM to load the new machine. we just dragged over the items we needed. Now I want to bring over the iPhoto library but I don't want to lose or replace what is on the new Macair. How do I keep what is on the existing new iPhoto library and bring the old pictures into it?

    No
    As I said
    Restore the old iPhoto library  a different location (desktop for example) and use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  to move the photos you want to the new library
    You could use TM to restore selected photos from the masters folder  of the old library and import those to iPhoto  - but this loses a lot - all edits, metadata changes, etc
    You do not directly access TM backups - you use the TimeMachine application to restore them and hen you can access them

  • When i try to sync photos from iPhoto to my iPad using iTunes,  the "Selected Folders" option is greyed out with only the "All Folders" option available, how do i change this?

    When i try to sync photos from iPhoto to my iPad using iTunes,  the "Selected Folders" option is greyed out with only the "All Folders" option available, how do i change this?

    I add the keyword 'sync' to any photos I want added to the iPhone/iPad.
    Then, during the regular process of syncing the iPhone/iPad with my computer (mac), the photos with that keyword would be copied onto the iPhone, iPad.
    I've been doing it this way ever since I was shown how to; ie after I got my iPhone 2 years ago. And every time the process worked - until the last few weeks. Suddenly it doesn't do it any more.
    I believe I have upgraded software (either iTunes or iPhoto or both) during this period. I try to keep my software updated but have noticed previously that the new version often is disappointing.
    I've not tended to use Smart albums much.

  • I am trying to download (share) selected photos from my Mac to my i-pad. Get as far as hitting apply but nothing happens. What is universal access...should I hit that button?

    I am trying to  share selected photos from my Mac to my I Pad.I went into I-Tunes and  followed the instructions and am fine until it says to hit apply....which I do and nothing happens. I can't seem to highlight the I Pad "device" logo on the (left side of the I-Tunes) list to be able to share the photos. (I still want to keep them in my Mac, also). At the bottom of the instructions to accomplish this it says Universal Access...should I  click on that? And what is it? Should I be selecting synch thru wi-fi?

    Eject the iPad if necessary, quit iTunes and restart your Mac.
    Connect the iPad to your Mac with the cable and launch iTunes. Now see if you can click on the iPad name on the left side of iTunes. If you can, go into the photos tab of iTunes in the window on the right and make sure that the Sync Photos heading is checked. Then select the folder form which you want to sync photos - maybe iPhoto on your Mac? Then select all of the albums, events, faces - however you have them set up - then click on Apply. See if that works.
    The photos will still be on your Mac after you sync. Do not click on Universal Access - you don't need that to sync.
    Here is a very helpful Apple support article that you can read as well.

    You can deal with WiFi sync later.

  • Uploading selected photos from iPhoto to Facebook

    When I upload selected photos from iPhoto to Facebook, recently the entire album is uploaded even though I only select a few photos. This is a new issue - in the past, if I select a few photos and upload to FB, only the selected pictures upload. Now, it's the whole album. Is it Facebook or iPhoto? Is it Timeline or iCloud? It's driving me crazy.

    Have this problem too with Lightroom! The sudden spike in views for this post would suggest that it's only a recent thing. Have you notified Facebook of this?
