Why are Photos saved as Documents Automatically?

When I click on a photo onlike, like Facebook, and right-click to save it on my computer, it is saved as a .doc file. I have to change them to .jpg files.
Any idea how to change this? Thanks!

When I mail photos (via GMail) from my iPhone they are received on my PC as .jpg files, even if sent at full resolution.  Perhaps your e-mail service has imposed an attachment size limit, and in the process scales the attached picture down and alters the file extension?
What happens if you e-mail a photo from your iPhone and open the message from a PC instead of the Surface?  What e-mail service are you using? (e.g. your ISP's service, or Yahoo, Gmail, iCloud, etc.)  When you send the photo from your iPhone, are you selecting a reduced resolution?

    You may also want to check your space available as you only get 5GB free.  It's unlikely that this is what you are experiencing, but it can certainly cause you not to receive any emails that don't fit.

  • Safari, "Private Browsing" - why are cookies saved?

    I normally use Private Browsing out of habit on all my computers using Safari but I do have a few questions on it -
    Why are cookies saved even when "private browsing"? go to one genealogy site that requires membership and the cookies from that site are always present in my cache. Are pages also being saved in the page cache as well?
    What is so "private" if info can be assembled?

    HI Jim,
    This from the Safari Help Menu:
    About cookies
    A cookie is a small file created by a website to store information. The cookie is stored on your computer. Cookies are normally helpful and harmless; it’s rare to encounter a bad cookie.
    When you visit a website that uses cookies, the site asks Safari to put cookies on your computer. When you return to the site later, Safari sends back the cookies that belong to the site. The cookies tell the site who you are so that the site can show you information that’s appropriate for you.
    Cookies can store information that identifies you, such as your name and email address. A website has access only to the information you provide. For example, a website can’t determine your email address unless you provide it. A website can’t gain access to other information on your computer.
    When you use the default cookie preferences in Safari, you won’t know when Safari is accepting or sending cookies.
    You can change your cookies preferences so that Safari doesn’t accept cookies or accepts them only from limited sources.

  • Why are mysterious dk.html files automatically downloading upon launch of newly updated Safari Version 5.1.7 (6534.57.2)?

    Why are mysterious dk.html files automatically downloading upon launch of newly updated Safari Version 5.1.7 (6534.57.2)?  I updated last night and ever since, these files download as soon as I launch Safari.

    I've gotten these from multiple web sites, including Drudge and National Journal.
    It is my opinion that this behavior is a side effect of the latest Java update. Until this latest update, Apple has maintained its own version of Java. The latest update is Oracle Java.
    Apple's note on the Java for Mac OS X 10.6 update 11 includes this:
    On systems that have not already installed Java for Mac OS X 10.6 update 9 or later, this update will configure web browsers to not automatically run Java applets. Java applets may be re-enabled by clicking the region labeled "Inactive plug-in" on a web page. If no applets have been run for an extended period of time, the Java web plug-in will deactivate. 
    Looking at the innards of one file downloaded, it appears to be a JavaScript beacon from advertising.com for rubiconproject.com. These files are used to track web browsing activity. I suspect that this Java changed the way the beacon is served and Safari.

  • Why are photos save as .jpeg instead of .jpg?  Can this be corrected?

    Why are photos save as .jpeg instead of .jpg?  Can this be corrected?  In certain applications I have to manually change the ending so that the application can open the photo.  Is there a setting to control to correct this?

  • I just started using my iphone 5s. I have a problem with new incoming emails from my POP account. Why are they marked as read automatically even though I have not even opened them yet.

    I just started using my iphone 5s. I have a problem with new incoming emails from my POP account. Why are they marked as read automatically even though I have not even opened them yet.
    At first I thought it might be because I was using simultaneously my old iPhone 4S so it somehow realized the emails where being pushed to another device and the it marked as read, this has nothing to do since I have deleted the email account from the iPhone 4S

    Contact the email provider for assistance with their service.

  • Why are photos again available on the fotostream even that I have deleted them?

    Hi,
    why are photos again available on the Fotostream, even that I have deleted them with using an iphone?

    Hi Ghallsa,
    I don't know why you believe that emails would be using 6go if you deleted them all.  I think you concluded this from the available space left and what you know is using space.  You have to understand that what is taking storage space is not only apps, music and emails.  There is also the iOS which is taking space as well as a lot of data cached on your devices that will usually be shown as 'Other' category if you are to look at your space usage from iTunes.
    If the total 'Other' space appears excessive, I suggest you should 'restore' your device (after a full recent backup); this sometimes helps to remove any data left behind.  But before this, try a look at Settings->General->Usage->Manage Storage.  This will list apps from the most space consuming to the less.  It could also help you to identify which apps may take to much of your precious space not only by apps size but also from the data the apps had stored.
    good luck,

  • Are photos saved with their original filenames?

    1) Are photos saved with their original filenames?
    2) Can we view Filenames of saved photos in ipad?
    Thanks.
    (p.s. I am talking about Pictures saved from websites during browsing on ipad).

    Both iCloud and iTunes backup included all the photos in the iPod Camera Roll album.

  • On apple tv why are photos too large on slideshow

    I set up album in my iphoto, 
    selected it on apple tv
    why are some photos too large and chopping off top of photos?

    When you first sync photos to your iPod, or everytime you add new photos, iTunes goes through a process of optimizing your photos for the iPod before actually sync'ing. You can see it countdown on the screen. The results are kept in the "iPod Photo Cache" folder.
    I was under the impression that this optimizing was more a process of collecting together 25 thumbnails and putting them together in a single file together so that it enabled the ipod to show 25 pictures at once with the option to select one.. Are you sure the thumbnails are actually altered in any way.

  • Why are photos I deleted from Camera Roll re-appearing in CR when I put them into Albums from Photo Stream?

    Last night I deleted some photos from my Camera Roll (on iPhone 3GS) using cable connection to my PC. I then went to Photo Stream (the photos were, correctly, still in there) and put some of them in Albums in the Photos app. Some, but not all, have now re-appeared in Camera Roll - and, very unhelpfully, not in the order they were taken. I don't want these photos in Camera Roll but can vaguely accept and understand if the app HAS to copy the Photo Stream photos to Camera Roll if you put them in Albums and they are not in Camera Roll already but then why are there 2 photos (in different Albums) that this is not happening for?
    Any ideas/advice?

    Thanks for your comments.
    I connected the iPhone to my PC with the USB sync cable (I usually sync by Wifi) and opened the iPhone as a Windows window. Went to the relevant DCIM folder for the Camera Roll and Deleted them there. I checked on the iPhone before and after sycning that they had been deleted from Camera Roll - and they had. I only have one Camera Roll album (no chance of another album being synced).
    They remained deleted from my Camera Roll until I put the copies of the photos held in the Photo Stream album (which I purposely did not delete them from) into an album. They then appeared in my Camera Roll again. Now, if I delete them from Camera Roll again (either direct from iPhone Photo app or via USB cable) they still reappear in my Camera Roll if I put them in an album from Photo Stream. I can see it happen before my eyes as each one appears after I have selected the photos from Photo Stream, used Share to put them in an album and then go to Camera Roll - they pop up one at a time.
    It would make sense to some extent except that there are two photos (in two separate albums to the ones that are reappearing) that have definitely been deleted from the Camera Roll, have been put in their respective albums from Photo Stream but are not reappearing in Camera Roll. And, as far as I know, I did exactly the same things with them. I don't want to have the photos back in my Camera Roll but I cannot find any explanation as to why one set is appearing back in Camera Roll and these two are not.

  • Why are photos being automatically deleted from my photo stream?

    I have three iDevices that use the same Apple ID:  an iPad 2 running iOS 7, an iPad 4 running iOS 6, and an iPod Touch running iOS 6.
    Up until a few weeks ago, they all lived happily together.  Whenever I saved a photo on any one of these devices, the photo would show up in the photo stream for all three devices.
    However, recently the iPad 2 has been mysteriously showing less and less items in the photo stream.  More and more photos disappear from the photo stream every day (only on this iPad; the other iPad and the iPod have all the same photos in the stream.)  The iPad 2 now has only 100 photos while the iPad 4 and iPod have 800+ in the stream.
    Why am I losing photos from the stream in the iPad 2, and why aren't the other devices behaving the same way?  I'm not deleting anything (at least, I'm not deleting the images that are mysteriously absent from the iPad 2), and there are no device storage space issues (plenty of space on each device).
    The iPad 2 seems to keep only about a week or two's worth of photos in the stream.  Does this have something to do with the versions of iOS that the devices are running?  I don't understand why this behavior would have suddenly changed within the last couple weeks, though, since the iPad 2 has been running iOS7 for quite some time.  It just seems to be arbitrarily happening now.
    How can I make my iPad stop removing photos from its version of the stream?  I'm an artist and use all my devices in back and forth fashion, so I need to them to all have the same photo stream content.

    My Photo is not a permanent storage space.
    The photos you upload to My Photo Stream are stored in iCloud for 30 days to give your devices plenty of time to connect and download them.

  • Why are my iCloud Pages documents showing as "zero bytes" in Pages on my MacBookPro?

    Many of my Pages documents that are stored in iCloud can not be opened in Pages on my MacBookPro.  They show "zero bytes".  Is there something I can do to have them showing their full size and be accessible from Pages on my MacBookPro?

    I realize it's probably an imponderable question and I could do the dragging thing from iWork in iCloud to iWork.com Beta and vice versa. It doesn't really seem right, or even Apple-like, that Numbers on my iPad saves to the ICloud iWork and Numbers on my iMac, MacBook and MacBook Pro saves their documents to iWork.com. Why the heck aren't they saved to the same iWork? This should work more smoothly if they want people to use the iOS device to it's fullest extent.
    So, there's no way around it. At some point I'll have to pick one of the iWorks to work on the documents from. I guess it would have to be the iCloud iWork since the iOS Numbers can't get to the iWork.com iWork? And I'll have to save the Numbers docs on the Macs and then drag them to the iCloud iWork? Brilliant! Same for Pages?

  • Where are photos saved

    i just upgraded from 10.4 to 10.6.3 and successfully imported all my old documents to a new machine. i'm wondering where the iphoto library is saved in iphoto 9. in my old version, in the pictures folder, there was an iphoto library folder with all my pictures there. now, when i browse my hdd in the finder, there is an iphoto library icon that is non-browsable.
    when i look at a photo in iphoto and select "view in finder" then i can see the full ladder of folders within the iphoto library - but i am unable to do this when i am simply browsing in the finder.
    can anyone provide any help.
    thanks so much.

    There are a number of OS services to access your photos -you should not be accessing them directly via the finder

  • Why are photos multiplying?

    last i noticed I had 1500 photos in the organizer. It now says i have 5000 because for some reason I have 3 or 4 of the same photo. These are not ones i have edited and saved the original on, they just make clones of themselves late at night i think...
    I have Vista, for now and Elements 8.0
    Thanks for any ideas on why this is happening and any quick ways to delete about 3500 unwanted copies. oh..they are all uploaded right fom my camera to Photoshop, with the origenals deleted after.

    Are these photos present in the version set or they are present as individual copies? Can you check in the Find->By History->Imported on...what does it show there? What is the name of the photos that are duplicated?Is is the same name or some pre-fix is attached to them?

  • Why are photo attachments received on my ipad not looking correct?

    Often when I receive a photo attachment in an email the photos have lines across them and different colors of hazy film or shading or bars in them. When I open the same email and photo attachment on my iMac or a desktop computer the photos are fine. This is quite annoying. Thanks.

    Yes, saved photos go to Camera Roll.
