Unable to save photos

Since updating to the newest iOS.6 I am unable to save photos to my iPad 2

Save photos using what process? There are many ways of getting photos on an iPad.

  • Friend unable to save photo sent from iPhoto

    This is weird but maybe one of you have encountered it. A friend who has Windows XP :>( can view photos I send from iPhoto but she apparently can't SAVE them. It may be a problem peculiar to her machine. I tried attaching one directly to e-mail but it's way too big. I tried using the FILE/EXPORT method, resizing to half size which worked on my end and am waiting to hear if she could save it.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    I sent out a plea for help to knowledgeable people in my e-mail address book (amazing how few but then - I don't count myself as knowledgeable).
    Apparently this is an actual problem - but it’s erratic. One person e-mailed the following:
    “Well, I saved this into my file folder on my pc...then I opened it and it was there. Then I copied it and put it into this e-mail to send to you.”
    Another person - who was manager of a Windows Forum that I belonged to and very knowledgeable sent the following:
    “It would not open in Internet Explorer.
    I tried it again using Irfanview (http://www.irfanview.com/).
    Right click>copy>paste in Irfanview>save as....it worked. Irfanview is a free photo editing software.
    It does work in Paint. Right click copy>paste in Paint>save as a Jpeg”
    So the problem is solved - by outsiders without a Mac - LOL. I should have thought of Irfanview - I do have it - via Boot Camp on my Mac- and on my old PC which is not connected to the internet. I wish Irf had a Mac version - it isn’t a highly sophisticated photo editing program but it can open files that no other programs can & is spot on when it comes to resizing.
    My friend has responded:
    “Hi: Well I downloaded Irfanview and low and behold, it worked. I now have your picture as my screensaver. Thanks for all the help! Looks like something I should keep in mind when I have other files or whatever I can't open.”

  • Unable to save photos from FB and Tumblr

    Ipod screen shows the screen to save images, you touch it and it completes.  When you go to look at what you saved in the photo library, the none of the folders have any of the images. 

    Solved..  Privacy setting was off...

  • TS4435 Cannot save photos from Mail to iPhoto!

    We have been UNABLE to save photos for FIVE months and have asked Apple Staff anf Joint Venture for help. 
    ONLY NOW we find out that Apple KNOWS about this and refuses to repair it!
    I am sorry, but this is NOT the Apple we knew under Steve!!!

    This problem is an OS problem not an iPhoto one, so it will take an OS update to fix it, not an iPhoto one.
    10.8.2 is the current version of the Operating System. I got it from Software Update, like everyone else does.

  • PSE 7...Unable to save edited photos in a version set

    I am suddenly unable to save my edited photos in a version set.  The edited photo is being saved on the hard drive but is not linked to the previous photo nor is visable in the open catalog.  This issue in occuring in only one catalog but not in others.  Thanks for any help.

    You may be encountering a known bug.  To troubleshoot:
    1. In the Organizer, select one of the problem photos (the original, not the edited), right-click it, and do Show Properties.  What is the full, precise path of the photo, shown to the right of the yellow folder icon at the bottom of the Properties window?
    2. Do Help > System Info.  What is the precise path given for Catalog Location?

    Unable to to save photo attachments from emails in ios7

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • My Ipod5 wont turn on and it has been telling me for the past 15 weeks that it is unable to save anything to the cloud. Is there any way that I can get my photos back?

    So basically, my Ipod5 was working normally earlier today but then the screen just randomly went black and I cant get it to turn on. The problem though, is that for the past 15 weeks, it has been telling me that it is unable to save anything to the cloud due to a lack of space. I don't really care about anything other than my pictures and I'm wondering if there is any way for me to get them back even if my Ipod doesn't work?

    Likely not but
    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable              
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I am trying to save photos from iphoto to an external hard drive

    Help!
    I bought a "WD Elements" external hard drive to save photos and make more room on my Macbook Pro. I can't move pics from iphoto to my "WD Elements" hard drive . I've recently gone on a few vacations and have a few thousand pictures to download. I'd like to save them onto my computer and then my external hard drive, but would first like to place old pics from iphoto onto the external hard drive and I am unable to figure out how to do this. I've tried selecting pics and then dragging them into the "Elements" external device, but this is not working (a white circle with a line through it pops up, as if I am unable to do this). When I select pics and click export, a message says that it's unable to export these pics to the hard drive device.
    Please help! ~Thanks!

    1. What format is the external drive? It sounds like it's ina format that Macs can't write to. Is it a NAS or NTFS?
    2. Easiest thing: just move your iPhoto Library to the external
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • Unable to save ANY types of files in Elements 5.0

    Today I was working with Elements, creating a photomanipulation. This involved several layers, including a background of a beach, a horse, and some text. I've done this before with this exact same program on this exact same computer and not had too many problems. But not today.
    Today when I try to save my creation, in ANY format, I get this message:
    Could not save as
    "C:\Users\User\...\Untitled-1.jpg" because the file is already in use or was left open.
    GAHH!!!! Well of COURSE the stupid file is open, I'm working ON IT and trying to save my work!!! If I try to close the file, I get the standard question:
    Save changes to the Adobe Photoshop Elements document "Untitled-1" before closing?
    to which if I say yes, I get the same old crap:
    Could not save as
    "C:\Users\User\...\Untitled-1.jpg" because the file is already in use or was left open.
    Now if I select save as *PSD or *PDD, *SOMETIMES* it acts like it has saved my work, (Instead of just saying it can't) but when I look for what I saved, all I find are a bunch of crap files that can't be opened. Example:
    Cannot open 'C:\Users]User\Pictures\Photo Manips\~ps2AA0.tmp' because it is the wrong type of file.
    Please note that I never actually chose to save ANY files called ~ps2aa0.tmp at any point in this process.
    So I am stuck in a vicious cycle where before everything was working just fine. And it's not just editing photos or doing manipulations. I can take a brand new blank canvas, scribble a line on it with a paintbrush, and I am completely and totally unable to save even the simplest thing in ANY format whatsoever.
    I tried uninstalling Elements and reinstalling it and that did absolutely nothing, except cause me to lose all the special effect brushes I spent hours downloading. And when I started it back up, I was right where I was before, it even had the same custom color preloaded on the palette, as if it did not truly uninstall AT ALL. (Just the special brushes were missing, thanks for nothing!)
    My computer is maybe 8 months old now, a nice Hewlitt Packard with Vista. I specifically bought this computer so I could do more things with my art and more photos, and the first thing I loaded on it was the Bamboo tablet by Wacom, which came with Photoshop Elements 5.0 free. I've been using it ever since with hardly a problem and now today, I can't save the simplest little thing, and it is really aggravating me to death.
    ANY light that anyone could shed on this would be most appreciated. I'm sure it's something extremely stupid, like I found the secret invisible "do not save anything ever again" button and somehow managed to press it. Whatever it is, I can not for the life of me figure out how to make it work like it's SUPPOSED to work. Somebody please help me before I go stark raving mad.

    Further note: I have uninstalled this stupid program now THREE different times, including using a registry cleaner, which then deleted my DVD drive, thankyouverymuch. And even after I got the DVD drive back so I could reinstall the program, it was like I'd never uninstalled it (with the exception of the custom brushes still being missing) right down to the canvas size and paint color I had been using when all this started.
    So uninstalling it does nothing, resetting preferences does nothing... I can not save my work, period. I've been fighting with this for about 8 hours and I am so frustrated I could just throttle someone with my bare hands for putting me through this crap.
    For a product that came bundled with a $200 graphics tablet, it sure isn't worth a damn. Anybody got any ideas? I'm at my wits' end here.

  • "Unable to save the raw conversion settings. There was a write permission error."

    I just built a new workstation for processing photos using PS CS5. I use external drives to store my images as I find it easier for backing up as well as for when I want use my laptop for sorting, etc.. I copied over all my old "Collection" files, and of course, had to "fix" them once on the new machine. Once pointed in the right direction, the collections all fill out correctly.
    When I go to process a collection though, I encounter an odd problem I can't seem to sort out. I can delete files, rename files, copy/paste to the external drives, etc.. What I can't seem to do is add Labels, Ratings, or modify RAW settings. I mean, I can use ACR to make adjustments, I just can't seem to save them.
    The system just ignores label, rating commands completely. When I try to save an ACR adjustment I get this error. "Unable to save the raw conversion settings. There was a write permission error."
    The files are NOT write protected. I'm set up as the owner of my workstation, with complete control of the system. I can't seem to find any useful information about this error because the "write permission error" seems to only be happening on installs, so that's all I can find help for.
    My system:
    Intel Core i7 970@ 3.20GHZ
    24.0 GB RAM
    64-bit OS - Windows 7 Pro
    DX58S02 Motherboard
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580

    Thanks for replying. I've been going crazy trying to fix this.
    To answer your first question; I use sidecar XMP files. If everything from my archive was shot in RAW I'd try converting to DNG and see if embedding the changes directly in a file worked. Unfortunately, a lot of my old stuff was shot in JPG, so sidecars seems to be the best choice.
    When I add labels, ratings, as well as change RAW settings on files I place on my workstations HD everything works. It's only when I try to do these things with the same files on removable drives that I run into trouble. The drives I use are Transcend 640GB StoreJet 25ms connected via USB.
    I don't think it's a UAC problem. At least, to my understanding, doesn't that control how your machine alerts you to program changes? I looked into how to change ownership, and did so, but that didn't work. Here's a link to what I mean: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/windows-7-access-denied-permission-ownership/
    I'm stumped. I also hate the idea that I'll have to go through various folders to find images from already created collections, copy them to a new folder on my HD and then work on them. Then I'll have to put them all back... ugghhhh

  • Unable to sync photos from iPhoto to Apple TV

    I am using iphoto5.0.4 and am unable to sync photos. I select the photo album and click on the "apply" button which greys out for a while and then reverts. When I click on "my photos" in Apple TV I get the message that "There are no photos on your Apple TV." The ATV is able to stream photos from my Powerbook G4 just fine. When I go to "Screen Saver" on the ATV it is only able to access Apple Photos. I upgraded the ATV software without effect. What am I doing wrong?

    On the tv you should have selected 'settings/computers/connect to itunes library', I think you likely selected 'settings/computers/connect to shared library'. You may have to select your current shared library and unlink it before you can set it up properly but I'm not too sure as I've not had to do it myself.
