Need Help Downloading Pics

fortune — Thu, 09 Oct 2014 04:51:35 GMT

I used to use Tinypic.com, but they've changed the way it works. Now I'm not able to download my pics to Internet sites. Anyone have a simple way?

Are you using a MAC or a PC?

I am using a MAC but if you are downloading pictures from a phone, Google:

How to download pictures from phone to pc

... lots of information and videos to assist you in the Google results. I hope this helps.

Download or upload? I really makes a difference.

I'm trying to copy some of the pics in "my pictures" to add to some of my posts on this message board. Does that make it any clearer?

Have you tried photobucket? I was able to download pictures there yesterday and just had to set up an account. Good luck.

Are you trying to post them on this site or download for your own usage?

Fortune: No need to be so rude. You could have provided more information initially (the information that you have provided in answer to glb613 and my questions) and saved us a lot of effort in attempting to assist you with your picture download problem.

You cannot load pics from your computer onto a website. You need to upload them, first, to a pic hosting site such as Flickr or Photobucket (there are more I'm sure, and it's free).

THEN you can copy them, from there, to this site. Hope that helps.

If you do try to copy a pic directly from your computer to here, you will be the only one who can see it.

I use Tinypic to copy my pics in "my pictures" to post in the forums. I just went to the website based on what you said and it has not changed.

1. When you go to Tinypic.com, there is a box that says Upload Images & Video

2. When I click on the Browse button, it takes me to My Pictures folder ( I have an HP laptop running MS 7)

3. I choose the picture that I want to copy and choose Open

4. It takes me back to the Upload Images & Video screen and fills in the File name with the URL to that picture

5. I then click the Upload Now button. Sometimes TinyPic will pop up a short video that you have to watch to get a code to enter before the site will continue with the upload. They say it's to be sure you are basically a real person trying to upload.

6. Once it uploads, I click on the View Full Size Image link

7. Since I use a mouse, I do a right click, copy, and paste it in the forum post

8. After I hit enter so the picture posts, I have to go back and edit out the HREF link stuff that gets copied into the post.

I just went through these steps and chose a picture of Roasted Cauliflower I had posted on another thread.

Wow! I'm soooooooooooo sorry I sounded rude in my post!!!!!!!!!!! I really am so grateful to everyone who has tried to help me. Sometimes e-mail sounds perfunctory when the sender really doesn't mean it to. I would never be rude to someone who is taking the time to provide helpful info. Never!!!

Fortune: For what it's worth, I didn't take anything you wrote as being 'rude'...strange how things can be so easily misunderstood, isn't it?

This easiest place I have my pictures is Imgur. Just one click on the computer button icon and then then the pic off my picture file easy peasy and no annoying adverts.
