I have no problem posting pictures with my Iphone. I wonder why.

 

[Tobermory]

I am having the same problem. I cannot post pictures, anywhere because of the HEIC format, Apple is using.. Dam....

I was told you have to save the picture, convert it to JPEG and then insert... too much for my aged brain to understand...

IF this is answered at the Class I am scheduled to take, in the Apple Store, I will let you know.....
They are back to having in-person classes. I think I signed up for the first one, in the store...

If you go into Camera settings and tap Format, you can change from High Efficiency to Most Compatible which will use JPEG.

I have an iPhone 8 so it might not work in later versions.

hope you get it fixed then i think apple has an option to allow you to turn this new pic format off i havent found one for android yet. oh and the "free" upgrade to windows 11 doesnt resolve this problem either but the microsaoft store will sell you the file converter for a dollarso i am just going to wait until the really do phase out windows 10 and hope any updates for win 11 have this new file converter since jpeg is on the way out also

It’s definitely up to date.

testing with a random pic.

AbbysMom ,
I have two identical to yours - the solid turquoise and solid blue And I love them, I bought the turquoise one quite a few years on a trip to Vancouver. The threads inside the globe, it said on the tag, were mean to capture evil spirits and prevent them from coming in your home.

On my mind today is this. We had an ice storm last night and the tall pines in the alley lost some branches, mostly into my yard. The pile looks smaller in the picture than it is, and there are more on the left

Having cleaned these up before I know it’s a big job.

In other technical matters, how do you get these cool TCS smilies or emoticons onto an iPad?

I've had to stop buying them because I've run out of room! I have metal and glass stars hanging from the other window in the kitchen. I've been working on giving the kitchen a bit of a refresh, new curtains and rugs. I refused to switch anything until I gave the kitchen a deep clean and I'm still slowly working on it. I took down every one of those balls and cleaned them.

Do you mean they want load on your Ipad if you try to post on TCS from it?

No I mean I WANT them! How do I send them to others off of TCS or is that even possible?

 

[susanm9006]

AbbysMom , I had to look up what the glass balls with glass inside were called, couldn’t remember, but they are called “Witch’s Balls”. From Wikepedia

A witch ball is a hollow sphere of glass. Historically, witch balls were hung in cottage windows in 17th and 18th century England to ward off evil spirits, witches, evil spells, ill fortune and bad spirits.

I guess you sure won’t find any bad spirits at your house!

I would like Them as well. I can't retrieve them off my Samsung Galaxy smartphone .

I’ve checked into this before because I wanted to use these cute little things in my emails. Gmail and Apple Mail don’t support them unfortunately. You can use animojis in Messages although I don’t know about TCS ones. And I don’t know about other email programs.

I don't think there is a way to do that.

I have a 10XR.. I cannot find those settings ... sigh..

RE: posting pictures:
Now the upload is saying : The file is too large!!

Does that mean that the forum needs to be tweaked or do I have to somehow tweak my pictures.

Iphone XR...fully updated

weird....

 

[Tobermory]

I’ve never used that model, but you don’t have these options in Settings? If not, I’m going to hang onto my 8 for as long as possible!

And I am sure she/he was really sorry. Hope your head is okay.

Last night, I fell asleep on my rug and while I was asleep my cat was jumping of my desk (or) shoving by the plant pot of my desk, well, either way, the pot fell down and hit my head and broke into parts
