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.

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."

Do you mean iPhones and iPads don't take photos?

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.Smiley Happy

Re: Problems using ipad photos as wallpaper
