Question For Tech Savvy Cellphone Users - HELP!

hattrickmadaca3 — Wed, 19 Mar 2014 15:46:47 GMT

First, let me apologize if this topic should not be here, I know this is a popular board and am looking to reach as many people as possible to help me out.

I would like to post pictures on a Facebook page that I "Liked" from my cellphone, not my computer.

It is the Temp-tations page and I know people are posting pictures from their cell phones but I can't figure out how to do it.

I have tried posting to my wall and "Sharing" but that does not work. I have also tried "Tagging" but it won't show up on her page.

Does anyone know how to post pictures from their phones on pages they have "Liked" but aren't "Friends" with?

I have a Verizon, Samsung, 4G phone.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Go to gallery on your phone and click on the pic you want to post. Tap the picture and you should see on top of the pic the facebook f appear click on that. That will lead you to ""Write Post"" the pic will be automatically attached and just post it. At this point you can also write a comment if you want to as well.

Yes, but that posts it to MY wall, not the TT wall. Once on my wall, I can't share or tag it to the TT wall.

Ok thought you wanted to send it to your wall apologies. I think you would have to send the photo to your computer from your phone and then upload it to Facebook.

once you post the photo to your wall are you putting in the @temp-tations by tara mcconnell ? maybe YOUR privacy settings on your account are not set for public?

Yes, but because she isn't my Friend, I can't post. I will check my privacy settings, it is only set for Friends, I'll see if that makes a difference if I change it to Public.

Thank you!

I tried changing it to Public but it still won't work. If I try to Share, because she isn't a Friend, when I type in the name to share it with, it won't work.

there definitely has to be a way because others have posted photos via their mobile phones.....you can tell when you look at some of the customer photos.

I know, that's what's so frustrating! I called Verizon and they have no clue, unreal. And, I've asked people that have posted on Tara's wall but no one has been able to help.

Thanks again.

You make it sounds so easy, lol. My daughter posts to FB from Instagram all the time & I can't figure that out.

Posting to your own wall is pretty easy, everything is programmed in the phone. All that other stuff, like Instagram and Twitter, I hear you!

My kids do it and I have no idea, it makes me feel soooooo old! Even they can't figure out why the heck I can't do what I want to do so I don't feel so clueless!

So you want to post a picture on the temptations Facebook page? To do that you have to create a post from that page. A box will pop up where you start to,type your message. At the bottom of the box, you should see an icon to insert a picture. Click that, scroll through your pictures, and select the one you want. You do the same process if you are replying to a post that is already started on the page. But....did you mention above that you are not a "friend" of that page? I don't think you can start a post on a page you haven't been friend-ed on?

it is easy to post to instagram, google+, twitter, facebook, etc........ especially on your own page or a friends page, but not sure why you cannot tag taras page on the photo and have it go onto her facebook page. i even just tried to do it myself.

she she have an instagram account that you can tag your photo with her name @taratemptations .

right, you definitely have to LIKE the page to post on it.

But it wont give you access to post from her phone as the OP was requesting just your computer. I tried that as well.

OK, I DID IT!!! I messaged my very Tech smart niece who now resides in California. Why I hadn't thought of her before is beyond me. It does have to be done from the phone.

I had liked Tara's page, but it still wouldn't work. I had to go to my FB page on my phone. From there, I had to go to the search bar and type in TT by Tara. Once that came up, I had to scroll down and find where to post the photo. Once I clicked on "post photo", it brought my gallery which contained the picture I wanted to post,(It actually looks like you're posting on your own FB page) wrote what I wanted to write, hit post, and it worked!

What I had been trying to do was click on the photo on my phone and upload it from there. You have to open up the FB page you want to post your photo on!

Thank you ALL for responding., I really appreciate it! (And maybe I helped on other person out there that was stuck like me??)

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!
