"Sharing" a Lr Mobile TIF file to the iPhone 6 camera roll converts the TIF to JPG.  Bad, bad, bad Lr Mobile!

I have another discussion concerning Lr Mobile and TIF files that exist in the iPhone 6/iOS 8 camera roll (aka "Recently Added"): Lr Mobile 1.2.1 does not recognize .tif files added to iPhone 6 + iOS8 Camera Roll
A new issue has surfaced.  When I add a TIF file in Lr Desktop to a collection that is synced with Lr Mobile, the TIF file appears as a TIF file in Lr Mobile.  So far, so good.  But if I then "share" that TIF image using the "Save Image" command in Lr Mobile, the image gets converted to a JPG file before it is added to the iPhone's camera roll.  This despite the fact that the iPhone 6 camera roll can save and display TIF files captured by the iPhone's camera.
Please fix this problem, as well as the problem concerning display of camera roll TIFs in Lr Mobile that is the subject of my other discussion!
Cheers,
Jeff

The file that comes into Lightroom mobile is labeled as a Tiff but is really a smart preview that Lightroom has generated from the Tiff and synced to the cloud.  The file your iPad is pulling in from LR Desktop is not a Tiff in the true sense. so it wouldn't make sense that it would save to camera roll as such.
That makes sense.  I'll try enabling offline editing for that TIF file to force a download of the full file and then try to save it to the camera roll.

  • File Sharing: Can't save altered file to the original Mac

    I've enabled file sharing on my iMac and MBAir, identified shared foler and given myself read and write privileges, and can open a file from the original iMac on my MBA--but if I edit the file on my MBA I can't save it back to my iMac or export it there. What am I doing wrong?

    Putting the hard drive to sleep is an additional option in the energy saver system preference. Unlike display or system sleep, there is no time-to-sleep slider for this; it is an on or off checkbox at the bottom of the pane. When checked, the hard drive will spin down if it hasn't been accessed for a while, even if the system is awake. When the system next needs to access the drive, there is a delay while the drive spins up, but it does not otherwise have any effect on the system's sleep or wake state.
    If your software claims it can wake the Mac, it is referring to waking the system. If it doesn't do that, you should contact its maker for assistance with the appropriate settings, for upgrades that might be needed for Tiger, etc.

  • How can i move a video file from itunes to my camera roll

    I am trying to relocate vids i made with another device and imported to my itunes to my camera roll or other app (files box, private camera, photofolders etc...) Is it possible? Will I have to change the video formats? They are all mp4 vids.

    If they are in a compatible format then you should be able to sync them by selecting the iPad on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (on iTunes 11 you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and then use the Photos tab on the right-hand side of  iTunes  to select the folder that they are in on your computer and sync them (if you are already syncing photos to your iPad then you will need to include their folders with the sync, otherwise they will be removed from your iPad)

  • How to sync video files from your Mac to iPhone/iTouch camera roll.

    Everything's updated. Use new Macbook Pro & 4th gen iTouch
    Problem: I do not know how to put a video from my computer to my iPod camera roll.
    Here's what I DON'T want: I do not want to sync a video from my computer to the iOS "Videos" app.
    Here's what I DO want      :  I want to sync a video from my computer to my iOS "Photos" app. aka camera roll.
    It would be SOO amazing if someone knows how to do this. Thanks

    If you want to transfer any size video to your iPod Touch, you can do this by dragging and dropping it into Pic Share It.  The video will appear in your Camera Roll.  It's a free program.  Here's a video showing how it works.

  • Transferring photos and video from iPhone 5S camera roll to windows folder, some files corrupt. Why?

    I back up all my photos and videos to my external hard drive every month or so in order to free up space in my phone.
    Now some folders once are transferred in windows contain some videos with jpeg extension in the file name and some photos with .avi extension too, as seen on the picture below.. Also I try to move files around in the folder and they freeze the computer resulting in a windows desktop reset. Any clues on what am I doing wrong so I can protect all my files for good?

    You can't transfer the photos and Videos into iTunes. You have to import them to your computer. It is a fairly easy process. This article explains it all for you.

  • If all the photos from my iPhone 4s Camera Roll show up in iPhoto under Library- Photos, is it safe to delete them from the iPhone and not risk losing them?

    I am getting messages about being out of space on my phone for taking any more photos. I am scared to delete anything with all the photo stream and syncing that happens cause I don't want the photo to delete in many places at the same time.
    So, 1) when is it safe to delete from the iPhone? 2) I feel like I have multiple copies of photos stored between the phone, Photos Library in iPhoto and all my albums in iPhoto. Is there a best practice document on how to manage your photos for space savings? 
    I've looked, but can't find my answer clearly in the forums.

    IF you have successfully imported your pictures to your Mac http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083  then it's safe to delete it from your phone.
    If you want the pics back on your phone, just sync them back using itunes http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236

  • Lr Mobile 1.2.1 does not recognize .tif files added to iPhone 6 + iOS8 Camera Roll

    I use an app called ProCamera 8 to save images taken with my iPhone 6 to uncompressed TIF files or TIF files with LZW compression.  The problem is that Lr Mobile doesn't see any kind of TIF file in my iPhone camera roll at all.  I've tried to:
    Save the photo taken by PC8 directly to the camera roll
    Save the photo taken by PC8 to it's own "Lightbox" folder, then export it to the camera roll.
    Manually import the TIF files that appear in the iPhone's camera roll using Lr Mobile's Add From Camera Roll command. TIF files in the camera roll don't even appear in the list of photos!
    None of the above methods will get a TIF file into a Lr Mobile collection.
    If I repeat the process with JPG files, everything works as expected, and all 3 methods listed above will get the JPG images into LR Mobile.
    I think this is a bug (and a serious one) because TIF files in Lr Desktop that are added to a collection that is synced with Lr Mobile appear Lr Mobile on my iPhone immediately.  So I know that Lr Mobile supports the display and editing of TIF source files.
    Until this is fixed, is there a workaround possible?
    Thanks,
    Jeff
    EDIT: The native Photos app in iOS 8 displays all of the TIF files correctly.

    The latest update to Lightroom Mobile now recognizes Tif files. Strangely, in the import window they show up with with a RAW label on them but, once imported, the metadata labels them as tiffs. This made me wonder if LR mobile also now supported actual RAW files. Alas, a quick test proved this to not be the case.
    That said, this is pretty cool news for those who take pictures with their phone's camera. I too use a camera app that allows me to save images as tiff files. Now these files can be imported to LR Mobile and edited using the array of tools found there. I've always liked Lightroom's superior versions of tools like Clarity, Highlights, Shadows, Whites, and Darks but found them of little use on Jpgs, due to the smaller amount of data they contain. While Tiffs aren't quite as info packed as RAW files, they are a huge step better than jpgs.
    One slight caveat which, depending on your outlook could be either a good or bad thing. When you save a tiff file from LRMobile it automatically converts the image to a jpg and reduces the image size to around 63% of the original image (the native size of a photo taken with my iPhone 6, 2448x3264, is reduced to 1536x2048). At first I was rather upset with this, as far as I can tell, unchangable automatic action. However, after thinking about it a while it occured to me, that for my use of LRMobile at least, it is not such a bad idea.
    FIrst let me say that I do not see my iPhone or my iPad Air as optimal photo editing devices. For serious editing I'm going to use my computer hooked up to my calibrated 27" NEC monitor. However, for doing some quick fixes/adjustments on iPhone snapshots this makes complete sense. Most other mobile editing apps only support jpg as do most of the major social sharing sites on the web. A smaller sized image, and it's inherrent smaller file size, is also better for emailing, sharing on websites, etc especially if you are using cellular data to upload with. Admittedly I would have prefered the option to save as either a tiff of jpg and also the option to select  the image size, but overall this "feature" is OK with me. As I said if your usage of LR Mobile differs from mine you could well be holding your head in your hands moaning by now.
    While I'm still waiting for the ability to edit keywords and other metadata, the thing that would make LR Mobile an essential app for me, this addition of tiff support has actually gotten it out of my "Archive" folder and back in to use.
    PS: one thing that has always worked well is the sync between devices (internet required) so it is geeat for getting your phone photos onto the your iPad.

  • Is there any way I can view / remove pictures from Camera Roll on the iPhone, on a Mac, without actually importing the files?

    Is there any way I can view / remove pictures from Camera Roll on the iPhone, on a Mac, without actually importing the files? I just want to view / delete files without importing them.
    For instance I have 1200 photos on my iPhone Camera Roll. Some of these are shots, that I've taken multiple times, some good, some bad. I just want to clean up my Camera Roll, but going through the pictures on the iPhone's small screen is tedious. I'd much rather look at the camera roll's photo's on my Mac, and then decide which files I'd like to keep, and which to delete.
    I don't want to import the files, as when I import the files, and delete them from Camera Roll, now the Photo's are not on my phone, and the only way to get them back on my Phone is to Import them back in using iTunes, and then they go into the Picture Library and not the Camera Roll.
    In the same way as I can view Pics from my digital camera's SD card on a Mac without having to actually copy them to my computer, is there any app out there that will let me view my iPhone pics without importing them.

    The short answer is yes.
    Connect your iPhone to your computer.
    Open Image Capture application.
    Click on the 4 little squares at bottom to view them as photos, not a list.
    Select the photos them click the No Entry icon at bottom to delete.

  • How do I move movie files to the Movie folder in the Library?

    I imported various kinds of media into iTunes on my PC and a couple of Movie files and a few TV Show files ended up in the Music folder. I cannot figure out how to move them to their correct folder. The files are listed correctly by iTunes under Get Info (ie. Quicktime Movie and/or TV)yet I can't move them from Music. Any way to fix this? Thanks.

    I believe you can only get movies from your iPhone's "Camera Roll"

  • How can I manually set the Camera Roll to start at an arbitrary image number, i.e., IMG_0553.JPG?

    I have an iPhone 4s, currently with iOS 5.1. I use it with my desktop computer which runs Windows Vista (and has the latest iTunes installed 10.6), and my laptop, which has Windows 7 and the latest iTunes. I use iCloud and Photo Stream primarily with the desktop computer.
    Since receiving the iPhone on launch day, (Nov...14?, 2011), I've had to "Set [it] up as new" twice, most recently this morning.
    After setting it up as new, the Camera Roll starts over with pictures at IMG_0001.JPG. That means, that, after my first picture after this latest reset, I'll have three pictures all initially named IMG_0001.JPG, and instead, I'll have IMG_0001.JPG, IMG_0001 (1).JPG, and IMG_0001 (3).JPG in my photo library. This robs me of the ability view my photos sorted by name, which is often the default sort order in my photo folders, and still see them chronologically. I can, of course, sort them by Date Created, but it would be more flexible if I could do either one.
    Therefore, I'd like to set Camera Roll to start numbering its photos starting with whatever the next number higher than all the rest in my library would be, in this case, IMG_0553.JPG.
    I can't just use Windows to go into the iPhone's Camera Roll and rename the first photo I take to be IMG_0533.JPG. The iPhone just doesn't allow tampering with the filename that way. Can I even count on Camera Roll to note the presence of the highest numbered file in its folder and then just name the next picture taken the next higher number?
    Since I have no reason to believe that I won't have to reset the phone again, I'd like for whatever method I find to be one that I can use to set the Camera Roll to start at whatever other number I need when the time comes.
    Suggestions welcome...
    I have an idea that I'm about to try...I'll report back if it succeeds...
    UPDATE: So what I tried to do was, with an empty Camera Roll, I uploaded a picture with the filename and number that I wanted (IMG_0533.JPG) into my Photo Stream, then saved that picture to my Camera Roll, hoping it would retain the file name, and then Camera Roll would just use the next number. That didn't work. It saved into Camera Roll as a brand spanking new IMG_0001.JPG.

    To bring the solution into this thread, here are the consolidated solution bits from the other thread:
    I installed i-Funbox and found the file referenced in that other thread ( iPHone / Raw File System / PhotoData / MISC / DCIM_APPLE.plist ).
    That file has a section that I'm replicating below that is the part that that original poster edited, and is the part that needs to be edited for my problem also:
              <key>DCIMLastFileNumber</key>
              <integer>5</integer>
    That other thread's original poster wanted his photos to start with 0001, so he set his "DCIMLastFileNumber" to 0.
    I wanted my next picture to be IMG_0553.JPG, so I edited my file's 5 to 552.
    I did that editing by first copying the file to my laptop (using the Copy To PC command), then opening it up in a text editor. I did the edit, then saved it.
    After that, I used i-Funbox' "Copy From PC" command to copy the edited file back to the same location, hoping that the program would take care of any permissions, etc.
    I had to do the Copy From PC twice.
    On the first try, it seemed to copy just fine, but, for whatever reason, the copied file was empty when I opened it for verification. But I tried again, and that seemed to work (opened for verification, and it was as expected).
    I then unplugged it, copied a picture from the Photo Stream to the Camera Roll, then plugged it into my laptop to verify the filename. It was exactly as I wanted: IMG_0533.JPG. Then, for fuller verification, I unplugged it, took a new picture, then replugged it in, and confirmed that the next pictures (I had HDR on) were IMG_0534.JPG and IMG_0535.JPG.
    ...and that's where I am. Nothing has crashed yet, too, which is all to the good ('course, I haven't done anything else with the phone yet).
    Fingers crossed!

  • Lightroom Mobile iPhone won't import complete camera roll. Why?

    Several re-installs and crashes later, I'm still not able to bring in 900 images from my iPhone 5s' camera roll.
    Though there are something like 900 photos and videos, LR mobile only brings in about 250. And when I browse the thumbnails for those 250, many of them are just black boxes. And that was my *best* result. Earlier attempts resulted in LR crashing during the import process, with "delete and reinstall" being my only option. Even manual one by one imports after the initial import attempt of the camera roll don't seem to be working.
    I was so excited by the LR mobile sync, but the majority of my iOS photos are on my phone. Would love to get this working!

    Could you try the import after  a "Delete Data" via Lightroom Preferences->Lightroom Mobile and a resign-in.
    When you add new photos to your mobile device, Lr mobile needs to import the photos locally and send previews+metadata to the back-end. It seems that some of this data was not send.
    If you still see the issue while processing the import could you trigger a diagnostic log.
    The Lr Mobile app log can be triggered when you open up the settings and long press the to LR Icon a diagnostic log will be generated and attached to your local mail client.
    Send me a LR Desktop diagnostig log  - best as a private message with a downloadable dropbox link.
    You can trigger the log via LR Desktop prefereneces -> Lightroom Mobile and when you hold down the alt key you will notice a generate diagnostic log button

  • Downloading movies off of the camera roll into iTunes movie library

    Has anyone figured out a way to automatically extract the movies off of the iPhone's camera roll and deposit them into the iTunes movies library when you sync? Once I get them in there, I will be able to play them with Apple TV pretty easily.

    @Proud American:
    I use Win 7 and if I plugged (via USB) my iphone 4, windows can recognized the iphone as an external storage (just like flash disk) so I can browse through file manager (windows explorer) and can access the iPhone "Camera Cam" and make copy/delete files. I think this feature also works on Mac

  • How do I delete all the photos from my camera roll?

    I have all the photos/videos saved to Dropbox, now how do I delete all the photos from my iPhone & iPad Camera Roll/Photo Stream? I want to delete all the photos/videos at one time, is this possible?

    Connect to you're laptop. If you are using Windows:
    Click "File Explorer"
    Click "Computer"
    Click the iPhone
    Find "Camera Rolll"
    Select all of the photos and delete them.
    For Mac:
    No idea how macs work but it should be something like the instructions for Windows :-/
    As far as Photo Stream, they will automatically be deleted after 30 days and they do not take up iCloud space so you have nothing to worry about.

  • I have just went to the Apple Retail Store and purchased an HDMI adapter that plugs into the bottom of my iPhone 4. When I asked the sales person if I could watch the videos and pictures from the camera roll I have taken on a T.V. he said I could.

      I have tried to watch the videos and see the pictures from my iPhone's camera roll on a televison but it is not working. It is like nothing is connected to the T.V. set. I have tried with cables that attach to the bottom of the iPone. I have used an HDMI cable and a component cables on two seperate Televisions. How is it supposed to work.
    I plugged the HDMI cable into the HDMI #4 jack into the T.V. and turned on the iPHone and watched the camera roll on the iPhone bu tnothing appears on the T.V. screen. What would have to be adjusted to view the pictures from the camera roll on the T.V. screen. The same thing happend when I used "Composite to iPhone" cables to a different T.V.  I even tried with and iPhone 3GS, still no display on the T.V. screen.
