Why are all the photo titles in Photobooth the same?

This question concerns photobooth and using photos taken in iPhoto.
The problem is this: I took a bunch of photos with photobooth, then imported them into iPhoto. I then attempted to move those photos into a seperate folder on my desktop, but I couldn't since each individual photo was titled "MyPicture.jpg". I could go through the process of renaming all the photos by hand, but is there any automated way to do this and just assign maybe a random filename?

Hi Isaacprobert,
Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like you still have photos in Photostream. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support
Photos in My Photo Stream are saved on the iCloud server for 30 days.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Mario

  • Why are all jar files not compressed in the JRE installer?

    I used 7zip to unpack jre-6u12-windows-i586-p.exe (Oracle JRE Installer). On unpacking, I got a core.zip, a zipper.exe and a few other files.
    Again on exploding core.zip I found a few things. core.zip contains all the jar files just like it would be after installation except for 7 jar files.
    charsets.jar
    deploy.jar
    javaws.jar
    jsse.jar
    localedata.jar
    plugin.jar
    rt.jar
    Instead of these jar files there exists the corresponding packfiles
    charsets.pack
    deploy.pack
    javaws.pack
    jsse.pack
    localedata.pack
    plugin.pack
    rt.pack
    I think these are files created by pack200.exe & unpack200.exe is run on them after installation to create the corresponding jar files.
    So now I have a few questions
    Why are only these 7 files run through pack200.exe. I assume its because they are bigger than other files. But it wouldn't take that much effort to pack all jar files & unpack them after installation.
    The .pack extension suggests that these are packed but not gzipped. Again why would Oracle not do a gzip also? for eg with rt.jar packing reduces size from 45 MB to 12 MB, while adding gzip also reduces it to 6 MB.

    Whatever the truth of all this may be, you won't find it here. This is a user to user forum, not Oracle support or a channel to the developers. All you will get here at best is valid post hoc reasoning: at worst, guesswork. And if you're trying to bring this issue to Oracle's attention, again this isn't the place to do it. Locking the thread.

  • Why are all my pictures being saved to the Camera Roll album?

    Hi
    Every image saved to my iPhone 5s (iOS 8.1) is saved to the Camera Roll album and not to any other folders i.e. Snapchat images are not saved to a Snapchat folder, Instagram pictures not saved to an Instagram folder, Twitter pictures nto saved to a Twitter folder.
    Also, in a possibly unrelated query, I moved a large chunk of images from my Camera Roll to a separate folder (called "London" for my visit of the city) but they also still remain in the Camera Roll album.
    Can anyone help me out?
    Thanks

    I've just received my iPhone 6 & upgraded to ios8.1.
    After I set up my new phone & restore my icloud backup from my old iPhone 4, I found that the photo album cannot be used, photo taken by the camera cannot be saved (anyway the thumbnail of the photo just taken was showed on the bottom left corner).
    When I go into my photo album, there are no photo at all.
    Same with videos. Instagram works fine, facebook crashes when I try to take photos. Camera + works with the app photo stream, but gives error message when I try to save camera+ stream to camera roll
    I tried to reset & delete everything for 5-6 times, the problem still there.
    Anyone can help on this problem please?

  • Why are all of my purchases downloaded from the cloud but can't be played from iTunes?

    I recently updated iTunes as prompted.  Many of my songs disappeared.  I was able to get most of them back.  Some of the songs I purchased will not play in iTunes.  I've checked my history, and it says that all songs were donwloaded.  Why won't they play?

    But I would think that the purchases would be saved onto my Itunes account and therefore redownload into my computer. I have been able to retrieve about 9 of the 20+ songs that I bought by syncing my phone however the other purchases are still not there. Also, when I go to the Itunes store and back to the purchases, the button you press to buy it says "PURCHASED" so I know I don't have to rebuy them. How do I redownload the music I purchased previously?

  • Why are all my apps have .app at the end

    Hi, my apps all have .app at the end, why is that, how can I remove it.

    To identify them to the operating system as applications. All applications use the same ".app" extension just like all MS Word documents use ".doc" or ".docx". They provide information the OS needs so it knows what to do when you double-click on a file.

  • HT201317 I had my photo stream on and my icloud all set up, i just had the screen replaced and they somehow lost all the photos off my phone, but why wont the photo's reload back on to my iphone now that im connected to wifi again, where are all my photos

    I had my photo stream on and my icloud all set up, i just had the screen replaced and they somehow lost all the photos off my phone, but why wont the photo's reload back on to my iphone now that im connected to wifi again, where are all my photos???

    When photos are added to the photo stream album on a device (either due to a new photo having been taken or having been synced from another device using the stream) they remain in the album.  However, the syncing process involves copying the photos to the photo stream server where they are kept for a maximum of 30 days, up to 1000 photos.  If a device is reset or the stream is turned off or turned back on again (or in your case, the device was repaired), the photos that were on the device's photo stream album are gone and the only ones to appear are those that are currently on the servers (recall the 30 day limit).
    If some of your photos are older than 30 days, then they are no longer stored on the cloud and hence are not synced down to the iphone.
    Recall, photo stream is just a syncing service, it is not designed as a storage service for photos.  Always sync photos to a computer for archiving.

  • I have deleted the last imported photos thinking that the photos were kept in the album, but all my photos are now gone. How can I get the photos back from trash ?

  • Why are there so many more choices on the USA iTunes Store? Surely having an iTunes account should let you access all itunes availability the world over? Also how do you request films/tv series to the UK itunes?

    Why are there so many more choices on the USA iTunes Store? Surely having an iTunes account should let you access all itunes availability the world over?
    Also how do you request films/tv series to the UK itunes? There's tv series I'd like but they're incomplete like The Batman & Xena Warrior Princess. And films theta aren't available for download but you can purchase in a store like HMV?  Apple isn't doing itself any favours by secluding countries by their store. They'd make billions if you could just select the iTunes Store you want to search & purchase from just by signing in! If anything what they're doing is putting themselves into a corner, other companies like Samsung & HTC are already on too of them for innovation & ease of use. The people they're attracting are predominantly existing Apple users not new customers. What do you guys think?

    It's not Apple's choice, they can only sell a particular item where the content provider/rights-holder has granted them a license to sell them. Content is licensed by the rights-holders to Apple on a country-by-country basis, each country therefore has to have its own store, and you have to be in a country to use its store - they want control over where their content is available.
    You can try requesting that an item be added to the UK store via this page, but unless the rights-holder agrees to then Apple won't be able to sell it here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • Why are all my movies and tv shows now on my ipad with the icloud icon?  How can i get rid of them?

    Why are all my movies and tv shows from my library now on my ipad with the icloud icon?  I have turned off all icloud related services. I have never used it.  On top of that, my ipad now gets stuck on step 5 of the sync - waiting for changes to be applied and never finishes.
    Help

    Hi, go in Settings, under Videos turn off "Show all videos"  this will remove the purchased videos to be displayed in the Video app.  The same can be done with the music.
    As for Step 5, connect you iPad and on the summary Tab, uncheck
    "Sync only checked songs and videos".  Then wait, it takes a while but this made it work for me after many restore attempts.
    good luck

  • I just burned photos from different albums to CD-R. When I checked on the photos I burned on the CD-R afterwards,  I noticed that the titles of each folder that these photos are extracted from appear. How can I get rid of these titles???

    iPhoto 9.6 cannot open iPhoto Libraries on CD/DVD. The iPhoto Library needs to be on a writable storage.  Copy the iPhoto library from the disk to a folder in your Pictures folder. And then run the iPhoto Library Upgrader on that copy, see this link:  iPhoto '11: About the Library Upgrader

  • I opened iPhoto and it opened as if i just bought the computer. Where are all my photos and how do I get them back?

    I opened iPhoto and it opened as if I just bought the computer. Where are all my photos and how do I get them back? Luckily for the most part, I backed up photos on my flash drive, but I had just imported dozens of pictures from my phone. I reopen iPhoto soon after and the prompt asking how I would like to start iPhoto and all came up. I selected what brought me to the iPhoto I open up to every day only without any pictures.

    Are you in the correct account that contains the iPhoto Library?
    Did you ever move your iPhoto Library to an external drive?  If so, and you disconnect this drive, iPhoto will create a new blank one in the pictures folder.
    Check your computer to see if the "iPhoto Library" was accidently moved to the trash.
    If you still can't locate your images, launch finder, and select "all images" in the source column.  This will display all images on your computer.  Be carefull not to delete, move or modify the images you see in this manner, as it will cause issues with good iPhoto Libraries, however it may help us locate where the images are.
    Once you locate an image, click it once, then in the top menu bar, select "view / show path".  This will display it's location along the bottom of the finder window.
    Once you know where the image is, this should help you launch iPhoto to the correct library.

  • In iTunes under my device, under the apps tab, Why are all the options shaded out?  I cannot make any changes, select any apps or do anything with the apps.  I was able to load a few apps and sync but cannot sync anymore to my phone.

    Hi,
    ( I search for iChat questions when I have finished in the iChat Forum)
    So the menu bar reads iChat, File,  Edit,  View, Buddies, Video, Window and Help
    There is no Buddy List open.
    There is no other window for iChat open.
    In the iChat Menu you only have access to Status.
    Is an item ticked in the list ?
    Is this a green (Available item) or  Red ( an Away one) ?
    Can you access the Accounts option ?  (Sitll in the iChat Menu)
    Is anything in here ticked ?
    In the Window menu any Logged in account should appear in the list  (Between the Next Chat and File Transfer items)
    It would be useful to know which version of iChat this is.
    If no account is ticked (iChat Menu > Accounts) or not showing in the Window Menu, plus you cannot determine the Status and you cannot access the Preferences then you need to access your Home Folder/Library/Preferences
    As the Library in the Home Holder is Invisible in Lion you will need the Finder's Go Menu > Go to Folder option  (you can use it in earlier OS versions if you want)
    Type in:-
    ~/Library/Preferences
    Find the file called com.apple.ichat.plist
    Drag it to the Trash and Restart iChat.
    This will lose all the settings in iChat that you have changed from Defaults but there is no way around this.
