Problems using ipad photos as wallpaper

Lilysmom — Wed, 18 Jun 2014 15:38:20 GMT

When I add photos as wallpaper, they seem to zoom very large so I get only a small piece of the photo as wallpaper. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? TIA. LM

Hi gidget!!! I did some quick reading. It appears to be an issue caused in the IOS software update affecting many users. Didn't find a solution though. Maybe one of our smart techies knows the answer. Here's hoping!

Thanks dancingwoman. You would think they would do a software update to correct this wouldn't you? LM

I read that Microsoft, who makes PCs, will not properly download any MAC photos, being an Apple product . . . I assume on purpose. So if you're using a PC product, it's not going to happen.

("Windows 8.1 for Dummies" is full of these little tidbits of information.)

What's a Mac photo? As long as it's a JPEG, either operating system can view it.

This problem makes me crazy. Luckily there are a ton of apps out there that will re-size your photo. I use Wallpaper Fix, and it works great.

The frustrating thing is that the same pictures displayed fine before I upgraded. I figure $.99 is a small price to pay to keep my sanity!

William Joseph, thanks for the link. I did google and found the same article. I can pay .99 for the app no problem. I do, however, think that since Apple created the problem, they should fix it. At the price of their devices, I think that is the least they should do. I must be stubborn. I'm not going to buy the app. LM

That makes no sense, she is trying to size a photo on her Ipad, are you trying to say if the photo was taken with a Google phone it might be causing her the issue

Agree. Any photo on any device can be downloaded from the device to any computer (PC or MAC).It shouldn't matter what device was used to take the original photo.

It is a known issue with the upgrade to iOS7 that the personal wallpaper feature has a bug, and doesn't size the photos correctly. Maybe that will be fixed with iOS8 comes out this fall?

I read it in the "Dummies" book for Windows 8.1. So if I am a "dummy," so is the book.

There's no such thing as a "Mac photo."

Of course they do and that might be an Iphoto, a IMac is a computer. Not a Iphone or and Ipad

Of course they take photos but they're just like the digital photos by other devices. There's nothing Apple specific about them. Digital formats are universal.

I have photos on my iphone that were taken on my Blackberry about 8 years ago the formats are interchangeable
