What qualifies as a photo

Hello,
I just got a nano and I want to put some images on it, but they aren't photos. I put a bunch of PICT and TIFF and JPEG files in the folder I designated from Itunes' Ipod settings, but they don't seem to be on the ipod.
Is it only specifically Iphoto format pictures that work, or what do I need to do?
Also, does size matter?
Bob

Check what picure formats it can accept (I don't remember what formats off the top of my head) and make sure your picures are in one of those formats. They also have to be put into your iPhoto library. To do that, open iPhoto and drag your pictures right into the iPhoto window. It should copy the pictures. Also make sure your iPod is set to sync pictures, in the iPod tab in the iTunes prefrences. Hope this helps.

From what I understand RAW photos are supposed to open in raw in photoshop CC. I don't understand why my RAW photos don't open in RAW in photoshop CC or Lightroom 5

From what I understand RAW photos are supposed to open in raw in photoshop CC. I don't understand why my RAW photos don't open in RAW in photoshop CC or Lightroom 5

Has the behavior changed compared to how it used to open ? If so, do you refer to the Camera RAW window similar to this: http://screenshots.en.sftcdn.net/en/scrn/78000/78026/adobe-camera-raw-22.jpg
What is the file extension of your photos ?
In Lightroom, there is no special way of opening a RAW file vs. JPEG. They all open the same. What is the Lightroom behavior ? Can you post a screenshot ?

I currently have iPhoto on my new 27" 17, iMac. What is the best photo editing software. I have photo shop elements on my previous mac which I liked many features.

I currently have an imac 27", i7. I have iphoto on this computer. What is the best photo editing software to purchase or download?
On my previouw mac I had Photo Shop Elenemts and Photoshop CS3. Both of the later had features that I liked.
I am an amatuer family photographer; What is the best photo editing software. I do not think I need the power and confusion of full version photoshop.

I take it you are looking for replacements for the apps you used on a previous Mac?
I do not have Photoshop Elements, so I do not know about compatibility. But this site will tell you:
http://roaringapps.com
Photoshop CS3 does run in OS 10.9.1. (I use it just about everyday.) You do not have to give it up.
And there is Gimp, which is free and powerful.

Did you run any updaters recently, i.e. like just before this happened? Try this first fix: make a duplicate copy of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file,, Cache.dbt, that is located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences..

What does "Easily import photos from other applications" really mean?

What does "Easily import photos from other applications" really mean in the Lightroom 4 features list? I also see it stated as "...from other software" as well. Yes, I understand the LR can import from Elements libraries but can't find any reference to other applications anywhere, not in the online help, not in the user guide, not in any videos on Adobe TV. It would be nice if LR could see into iPhoto or Aperture libraries but that doesn't appear to be the case. Is that assumption correct? What other applications can LR import from?

Hello bbb34vball,
Since that article didn't help, I would suggest trying the steps in this article next:
iOS: Unable to import photos to computer - Apple Support
If that doesn't resolve your issue, you may find more information by using another one of Apple's support resources - https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action.

ICloud. No matter what I do my photos do not copy from my iPhone to ipad

iCloud. No matter what I do my photos do not copy from my iPhone to my iPad. Any suggestions?

You haven't told us what you tried.
Have you synced them to a computer first (as you should be doing to archive them) and then sync them to the other device?

Can someone explain the icloud to me please? Where are all my old pictures and how can I see them? Photostream only holds 1000 and when I sync my icloud to my mac it only imports what is on my photo stream.

When you enable photo stream on your Mac, in imports photos currently in your photo stream. However, photo stream only keeps photos for 30 days, even though up to 1000 photos will remain on your device until you delete them. When you enable photo stream on your Mac, you will only receive photos added in the last 30 days, as the others are no longer in your photo stream.
If you want to get all your old photos on your Mac, save them to your camera roll (if they aren't already there) by opening your photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. Once they are in your camera roll, import them to your Mac as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
Another option would be to create a shared photo stream containing the older photos and invite yourself (as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99). Then check Shared Photo Streams in iPhoto>Preferences>Photo Stream and you will see this shared photo stream on your Mac.

What software to transfer photos?

What software will transfer photos from a diabled iPhone 5s?

Handango has a freeware suite which contains an older version of Firepad Fireviewer here: http://www.handango.com/catalog/ProductDetails.jsp?storeId=2218&deviceId=39&platformId=1&productId=1... . I have this on my Palm IIIc and it works quite well. I have tried just about everything else and this is the only freeware I have found that works. The images actually look quite good for 8-bit color, and if you don't mind black and white, the 16-bit greyscale is cool too.

What happened to my photos in the photo pane of my calendar project? Where there were pictures there are now dotted squares. All the pictures are still in my events.

Sorry. Correction. It says "CANNOT DOWNLOAD PHOTO. There was an error downloading this photo from your icloud photo library. Please try again later"

What size should still photos be so no cropping or stretching occurs?

Hi, I want to prepare photos for a slideshow in iMovie HD. What size
should the photos be so no cropping or stretching occurs??
It's the photo prep that is a problem. The photos are like scrapbook
layouts done in Photoshop. They have edges, like borders that I do
not want cropped. I want them to fit exactly. I tested a 12x8 size
and it is letterboxed in iMovie.
I wish I knew the dimensions in iMovie so I can make my photos that
exact size. I have looked everywhere!
Also, I am doing this slideshow to be shown during the half-time show at a
charity football game. They said they need it in AVI format. I
suppose I just make a DVD with the movie as an .AVI exported from iMovie
or via QT.
Thanks!

If you want no black borders to the imported still images in 4:3 video projects, their aspect ratio must be NTSC 720x528 or PAL 788x576 or some larger multiple of those figures (NTSC 1024x751, 2048x1502, 2095x1536 etc, or PAL 1024x749, 2048x1497, 2101x1536 etc).
If you want no black borders to the imported still images in 16:9 video projects, their aspect ratio must be NTSC 875x480 or PAL 1050x576 or some larger multiple of those figures.
