Why can't other computers open my photos from Iphoto or down load them? they don't show up as an icon.

Why can't other computers open and/or download my photos when I email themfrom IPhoto? Have also tried making it a separate file on my desk; to no avail.
It shows as an icon and jpeg when it goes out from my computer but they can't download it.
They might see the photo imbedded in the emil but it doesn't appear as a downloadable icon.
Thank you for your help.

I think I can help. I use Mac but my secretary uses PC.
Make a file on your desktop and name it "test"
Go to iPhoto and click on a photo to send to this folder
Go to file and choose "export"
Pop up window - Kind: jpeg
quality: maximum
size: full
click on export and choose the "test" folder you created on the desktop.
You can now send any jpeg that you put in this folder from an email account by "attaching file" from within the email. If you have more than one jpeg, right click on the folder and choose "compress file"

Why can't I drag and drop photos from iPhoto on my iMac to my iPad?

I have thousands of photos on my iMac and often want to copy a few dozen to my iPad to bring to my relatives. It seems that I should be able to create an album on my iMac and drag it to my iPad but I can't. Didn't Apple get where it is by making things simple like drag and drop? Why is it like a state secret to get some photos moved over? I'd really like to know the reason. I don't want a convoluted work-around. This isn't Windows!
Come on Apple, give us simplicity or at least a USB port to copy stuff!

Thanks for the reply. I guess I was a bit steamed. I know how to sync photos but object to having to treat my photos on the iPad in such an unintuitive way. Maybe I'm alone ( but I doubt it ) but I have photos on my iPad and iPhone for several different purposes. I keep photos of things I want to paint, photos of friends and relatives, photos of items I saw that I may want to buy and snapped the ISBN code. Photos of book list of authors I like that I want to read so if I see one in a used book store I remember which ones I haven't read yet. I don't think this is unreasonable or even something that only I want. I don't want to delete all of this every time I want to add another photo. I know I can back it up to my iMac and restore it plus the new photo later but this is not what I expect or want from Apple. I have had Apple products since the Apple II and Macs since March 1984 and it was because Apple always seemed to try and figure what the user wanted first and foremost but this seems to have changed. I would prefer most iPhoto and iTunes app versions from ten years ago to those coming out now because they valued intuitive interface over exotic features. Apple is the product 'for the rest of us' but not anymore it seems.
Maybe there are some good reasons why Apple is doing it, security, contracts, etc but I'd like to know. Maybe some of the users know and will give straight answers.
Thanks, for the info though.

Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture from Snapseed app?

Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture? This is farcical and a real problem having to email them individually to myself and is totally inefficient time wise compared to previously using image capture! Why change this when it was working well and very quickly until the latest change. Now I have to move files from downloads into an appropriate folder, after emailing each individual edited image to myself, then I have to open in Photoshop and rename the file. This is ludicrous and takes forever to do!

Thank you! I suppected it would be in the settings somewhere. I' ve much to learn...get myself into trouble pushing buttons I don't really understand.

There has been a change in where Firefox searches for plugins and the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder is no longer scanned for plugins, so Firefox won't find them anymore if they are installed in the plugins folder instead of the "browser\plugins" folder that Firefox now scans.
You can set the plugins.load_appdir_plugins pref to true on the about:config page to make Firefox scan the "<install>/plugins/" directory for plugins like the WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll).
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
You can alternatively move plugins from "<install directory>\plugins\" to "<install directory>\browser\plugins\" (create this folder when missing) to make Firefox find them again.

How can I print a full frame photo from iPhoto 11? Even though I click on scale to fit paper size, it crops both ends of the photo in landscape set up. I have an Epson R1800 with the latest drivers.

" Hello Jeff. Here at Oki Data, we do not support programming. I would recommend contacting Adobe for further assistance. You can also browse their website at http://www.adobe.com/products/postscript/.

When ordering enlarged photos from iPhoto, must I purchase them one at a time and pay a shipping fee for each and very one of them. Sort of a ripoff but I can't figure how to purchase many and pay one shipping fee.

You may have better luck posting in the iPhoto forum if no one on this forum is able to assist. I'm sure you are doing something wrong though.

I deleted a photos from iphoto, later I found them in imoive, how do I move the photos back to iphoto?

Hi Canadian Beaver Tail!
You may want to try restoring the photo in iPhoto, using the instructions suggested in the following article:
iPhoto '11: Delete or restore a photo
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2398
To restore a deleted photo:
If you haven’t yet emptied the iPhoto Trash, do the following:
Select Trash in the Source list.
Select the photo you want to restore.
Choose Photos > “Restore to Photo Library.”You can also drag the item out of the Trash into an empty part of the Source list.
If you use Time Machine to back up your computer, you can recover a photo, an Event, a folder, an album, a project (such as a book, card, or calendar), or a slideshow even if you deleted it from the library and emptied it from the Trash.To restore photos, quit iPhoto, open the folder containing your iPhoto library, and then open Time Machine.To open Time Machine, click its icon in the Dock, or click the Time Machine icon in the menu bar and choose Enter Time Machine.For more information on using Time Machine, see the topics in Help Center. In the Finder, choose Help > Help Center, and then search for “Time Machine.”
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Braden

HOW DO I IMPORT THEN OPEN MY PHOTOS FROM IPHOTO LIBRARY IN BRIDGE?

HOW DO I OPEN MY PHOTOS IN IPHOTO IN BRIDGE AND THEN IN PHOTOSHOP?

Please don't type in all caps. It's difficult to read and rude, as it is like shouting,
iPhoto doesn't play nice with Adobe applications—or with any other application.
iPhoto hides all your images in proprietary libraries. You need to manually export them from within iPhoto.
Once you do that, put them in a folder or folders anywhere in the Finder. You don't need to "import" anything in Bridge. You simply launch Bridge and browse. Bridge is just a file browser, nothing less and nothing more.
Bridge does not open or edit any images or files. It just finds them and hands them over to the application, whether that be Photoshop, Camera Raw, Illustrator, Acrobat, or even MS Word.
Any files you move or folders you create in the Finder are instantly reflected in Bridge, and vice versa.

Why can't I import my new photos from my iPhone 4 anymore?

Recently I restored my phone with the new OS5 update. I lost the password to my backup so I had to start over. Now I go to import my photos into iPhoto. In iPhoto, I see thumbnail slots that represent the photos on my iPhone (if you click on the thumbnail slot it actually even says all the info about the photo under the information section), but no actual thumbnails. I select import all and it says "iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image." So I said, cool, well maybe it's because the file numbers are doubled up because I started over with my new software and a new backup file. I open image capture and it shows all the photos as thumbnail slots here too, but no actual thumbnail photos. I hit download all and it quickly goes through and looks like it's downloading everything. After it's done, I check the target folder and there are NO photos. I've done it over and over and gotten nothing. Now I can't get my new photos off of my phone. Help!!!

I restarted my computer and iPhoto recognized the photos right away. When in doubt, restart.

Why can't I find and delete photos from my Ipads

I have deleted all of the photos from my Ipad. Both Itunes and "storage" on the Ipad report 1.5GB used by photos, but I can't find them or delete them. What gives? How do I find and delete these photos?

Did you also delete them from the Recently Deleted Album in Photos?

Why can't I send older RAW files from iPhoto to Adobe Camera RAW?

I have a 20" Intel iMac (OS X 10.5.8) and use iPhoto '09 (Version 8.1.2) for storing and organizing the digital images produced by my Nikon D200 and D700 cameras. When I wish to edit a photo I right click on the image and select Edit in External Editor. The external editor is Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac.
In iPhoto/Preferences/Advanced for RAW Photos I have checked "Use RAW when using external editor." Recently I successfully sent new D200 and D700 RAW images from iPhoto to PSE 6 for conversion by Adobe Camera RAW (Version 5.4.0.57). However, I was not successful in attempting to do the same thing with older D200 RAW images taken more than three years ago. In all cases what showed up in ACR were JPEGs rather than the RAW images. I don't understand why this is happening. What is needed to resolve this issue? Any remedial information will be appreciated.
Bob

Well all of that tells us that the Library is sound and not corrupt - which is good news.
Now the question would seem to be 'Why isn't iPhoto respecting the settings you've chosen in the Preferences?"
Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

HT4858 I have bought 4 movies however one wont download due to insufficient storage, why arent the others stored in the cloud so I could down load the fourth movie?

Are movies automatically stored in the cloud and if so why can't I download a new movie. When I try it says "insufficient space". If the other movies are stored in the cloud- why won't the last movie download?
Sivle1940

You have to download or sync the movie to your iPad in order to watch it. If you already downloaded too much you won't have sufficient space on your iPad to download more, and iCloud doesn't expand the space on your iPad. Purchased movies are stored in the iTunes store, and depending on the country you live in and whether or not the studio allows it, you can redownload them again for free.
If you need more space on your iPad, transfer the movies you have already download on your iPad to your iTunes library by connecting it to your computer, opening iTunes, then going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. You can then delete some of the movies off your iPad to make room for more.

Why can't other computers open my photos from Iphoto or down load them? they don't show up as an icon.
