When I download pictures from my camera, they turn out a nice big size in iPhoto; other pictures that have been e-mailed to me or imported from older libraries/other computers show up small.  Why is this, and how can I make them all the larger size?

When I download pictures from my digital camera into iPhoto, they turn out a nice large size (usually almost the full screen), but when somebody e-mails me pictures and I import them into iPhoto, or when I transfer old photos from an old library into my new iPhoto library, they turn out very small--not exactly thumbnail-size, but too small to use for calendars or photo books.  I don't know much about computers, so I don't know how this happened.  Also, I can't find any discernible pattern to why this happens with some pictures and not others--ie: what I described above is usually true, but I have had e-mailed photos or old photos turn out the way I want them, which is in the larger size in iPhoto.  Why is this happening, and how can I make all the pictures the larger size?

Some mail programs, including Apple Mail, can reduce the size of images that are attached to a message. It's happening at the sender's end, and all you can do is ask the sender for a larger image.

  • Contacts per iMac address book:  1,301  iCloud:  1,486 iPhone 4s: 1,508 iPhone 4: 1,489 How can I make them all the same?

    My address book has been an intense problem for me for a while (i.e. even pre-iPhone 4s/iCloud).  Before I upgraded, my iPhone 4 had thousands of duplicate contacts.  The address book was up to ~7,500 even though what was then Mobile Me had somewhere in the 1,000 to 1,500 range for contacts.  So after I upgraded, I attempted to fix it by doing the following:
    I connected my iPhone 4S to the iMac (after I set it up with the latest iPhone 4 backup), went to the iTunes info tab for my device and unchecked syncing for any address book contacts, calendars, email accounts.  And then I synced it.  This didn't work.  I believe my contacts were still at ~7,500.
    So next I tried checking just the Sync Address Book Contacts option on the info tab which then allowed me to check contacts under the Advanced/Replace Information on this iPhone section at the bottom of the info tab.  This made my iPhone contact list further balloon up to 13,000 + contacts. 
    So the next thing I did (still in the info tab) was to select Selected Groups under the "Sync Address Book Contacts" section of the info tab.  I believe I still had the option to replace the info on my iPhone selected.  I then selected one of my contact groups that had no contacts in it.  Why would I create a contact group with no contacts in it?  I didn't.  I created some smart groups and prior to my iPhone 4s upgrade I noticed the smart groups contact lists I spent some time setting up were not populated with anything.  Same with some of the non-smart group contact lists I had created. 
    After telling it to only sync that empty group and to replace the contents on my iPhone I ended up with 1,508 contacts.  Why I didn't end up with either zero or the same number as in iCloud is beyond me.  This at least seems closer to my true number of contacts but as mentioned in my subject above the number of contacts differ between all three places (iPhone 4s, iCloud and iMac address book).  I also noticed that my wife is no longer in my iPhone 4S or in iCloud as a contact but she is listed in the iMac contacts which has fewer contacts than the other two places. 
    So I believe that in all three locations, there are situations where the address book includes contacts not in the other two locations, and vice versa (excludes contacts that are in the other locations).  Can somebody help me understand how I can truly sync my contacts so that they are identical in all locations?  This has been a huge problem for me since the Mobile Me roll out and sadly continues to persist now that I've migrated to iCloud.
    Blah, I am so fed up with this persistent issue.

    I assume you never got a solution. My own painful story is here:

  • TS3989 Only some of the photos I have taken on my iPhone appear in the photo stream on my iPad even thou they were taken at the same time. Why is this and how can I import the other photos from my iPhone to my iPad?

    Only some of the photos I have taken on my iPhone appear in the photo stream on my iPad even thou they were taken at the same time. Why is this and how can I import the other photos from my iPhone to my iPad?

    If older photos are missing it may be because photo stream photos are only held in iCloud for 30 days.  After that they are removed from iCloud but will remain (up to 1000 photos) on your device until deleted.  Also, only photos taken after enabling photo stream are added to your photo stream, and only when the camera is closed, your device is connected to wifi and you have at least 20% battery life remaining.
    To transfer the missing photos you can either create a shared photo stream containing them and invite yourself to it (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99), import the photos to your computer and sync them to your iPad, or use an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your iPad over wifi.

  • When I look up the creation date for files on my Macbook I get the date and month in brackets, but not the year.  Why is this and how can I look up the year?

    When I look up the creation date for files on my Macbook (using "get info", or the information window in Iphoto) I get the date and month in brackets, but not the year.  Why is this and how can I look up the year? 

    Does the Date Modified column in a window set to List view show the date correctly, or does it also display it incorrectly?
    To add additional columns to a Finder (folder) window, with that window open and active open the View Options for it. You can do that by pressing Command-J or by selecting View Options from the View menu in the main menubar.

  • Ipad keeps  coming on and  online, even though I have it shut off and  wifi shut off, why is this and how can I stop it?  After shutting it off,  sometimes   10 minutes,  or hours later it comes back on, even when not using it

  • Since i upgraded to Yosemite, when importing photos to iPhoto, they no longer appear in the 'events' summary in library. Why is this and how can i amend?

    Since i upgraded to Yosemite, when importing photos to iPhoto, they no longer appear in the 'events' summary in library. Why is this and how can i amend?

    The events may be incorrectly sorted. Try to sort the events by date, while in "Events" view.
    Go to the "View" menu: Sort Photos > By Date > Descending. That should bring the most recent events to the top of the list.

  • TS5275 There is no Accept button next to GarageBand. Why is this and how can I fix it?

    I was making a musical introduction for my YouTube channel (DiamondGriefingMC by the way, I'll provide a link for you to subscribe if you're into gaming) and had to make the in-app purchase in GarageBand to do so, but cannot do it because when I click on one of the sounds that are included in the purchase (which I don't have yet) the pop-up window that should be on-screen doesn't show up. Why is this, and what can I do to fix these pesky problems?
    Read the article below for more info.

    George, what is your GarageBand version? The in-App purchase is only available in GarageBand 10.0 on Mavericks, but your profile signature says "iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.4)". That would mean, you are running GB '11 and not 10.0.
    If you are indeed using GarageBand 10.0 and do not see an accept button, it could mean, that GarageBand 10.0 has already been accepted to your AppleID or from a different AppleID than the one you are using now. Have you signed into the AppStore with the AppleID you used originally to buy GarageBand ?
    Have you checked the Updates Page at the AppStore, to see, if there is an update?
    How did you buy GarageBand originally?

  • TS3274 When sending a photo by email, the receiver gets the photo upside down.  Why is this and what can I do to correct the error please?

    When sending a photo from my iPad with an email, the receiver gets the photo upside down.  Why is this and what can I do to correct the error please?

    I venture to say the recipient is a Windoze user and if so, state of the art Windoze ignores or doesn't recognize photo orientation data that is included with a photo's EXIF data.
    There are 3rd party photo viewing apps that provide for this but not incorporated with Microsoft software.

  • I keep getting kicked off of my wifi on my macbook pro.  It is the wifi in my house.  I get kicked off like every few minutes or so.  Why is this and how can I stop it?

    I keep getting kicked off of my wifi on my macbook pro.  It is the wifi in my house.  I get kicked off like every few minutes or so.  Why is this and how can I stop it?

    I think the other devices are fine.  I'm not sure.  It usually only happens like a couple days out of the week.  I do know that the network I'm using when I click on the wifi symbol at the top of my screen doesn't have a padlock on it.  It IS MY network that is at my house, but maybe that has something to do with it.

  • Since subscribing to iTunes match my ipad2 no longer offers the AirPlay option on the volume bar within Music, rendering my bowers Wilkins speakers useless for both iTunes and spotify. Why is this and how can I fix it?

    Since subscribing to iTunes match my ipad2 no longer offers the AirPlay option on the volume bar within Music, rendering my bowers Wilkins speakers useless for both iTunes and spotify. Why is this and how can I fix it?
    Apple made no mention of this being an expected issue, so I can only assume it's unintentional. Otherwise I wouldn't have subscribed to Match in the first place!

    How big is your library?  I would recommend the following troubleshooting steps:
    - Backup your library.  Always a good idea before messing with things.  
    - Create a new library.   Refer to this article for details:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589.  This won't delete your old library, you're just creating a new empty one.  Also refer to this article to get back to your old library later.
    - Add a few albums into this new library.  Not everything, just a small sampling, as a test.
    - Activate Match on this new library.  You shouldn't have to re-pay, it should just say "Add Computer" or similar.
    - At this point, Match should run again. With just a few albums it should complete in just a few minutes.
    If iTunes doesn't crash at this point, then likely there's something about your original library that Match doesn't like - what that is I don't know, but at least you'll know it's not your PC.   If iTunes still crashes, then if could be a number of other things, but probably not your library.   My next suggestion (if you haven't already done this) is to uninstall / reinstall iTunes.   If that doesn't work, then my next ideas you won't like.
