914World.com _ 914World Garage _ OT: Uploading pics on my new MacBook Pro ?
Posted by: jim_hoyland Feb 18 2018, 07:56 AM
I have uploaded pictures for years from my Samsong laptop, iPhone, and iPad; but I can't seem to coordinate the the upload on my new Mac Book Pro.
I have the photos on the Mac Book, but don't understand how to import one for uploading; the best I have done was to get the whole photo library in the upload file window..... 
There must be something I am missing; I have gone through the Dummy book to no avail....

Macs in respect to the photo library are a bit odd
Typing on my iPad so can’t qite remember the exact sequence but....
Highlight the picture you want to upload, click file, then look for export in the drop down.
Export to the file type you / image size to your desktop, once in 914world upload mode you can select the individual file from the desktop
Maybe there is a better way but that how I do it and it is a bit of a PITA on a desktop. Hence why I tend to post pictures off the iPad....

I tried this; seems too obtuse (PITA), seems like I shoul. Be able to select a pic direct from the photo library ?

Jim, do you mean that don’t know what to do next after you choose Select File from the boards site ?

Jim - go to an Apple store. They are very helpful with setting up your new Mac

Try this:
Double click on Photo Library. See the photo that you want and drag it to the desktop. Go into 914world upload mode you can select the individual picture from the desktop. You know the rest
What I do is Try drag the photo to the desktop. This makes a copy of it

Uploading photos from iPhone to a MacBook Pro to the internet is simple.
You are probably missing something really obvious in how you're doing it.
