Help! Can't Post Pictures!

We thought we were back on track with our blog, but it seems we can no longer upload pictures. We are on a Mac, and can't upload from our Photos library.  Does anyone have any suggestions on how to correct this problem? We spoke to Mac Support, and they had us do a bit of maintenance, and assured us we would be back in business, but we aren't. We appreciate any help you can give us. Thanks!

  1. I wish I could help, but I don't have a Mac and use WordPress, not Blogspot. I'll try to help. Are you getting an error msg? What happens (or doesn't) at what point where it used to work but doesn't now?

  2. Hi Kismet! When I'm in blogger and click to upload, choose files, and select Photos from the list. The pictures never come up. It just sits there. If I'm lucky I get the spinning wheel of death. I know blogger had some updates, but the last time I tried to upload I had to grab the pics off my phone. I've checked blogger help, but there doesn't seem to be anyone who is having the same issue. Is this a sign? Thanks for whatever help you can give. Could you send a big sqwaaaakkkkk to Apple, too?

    1. Have you completely shut down your machine and come up again with nothing running but what's necessary to post the pix?

    2. Yes. Several times. I've been thinking...could it have something to do with the file type? Its listed as Photo Library. I don't know if that makes a difference. It didn't seem to in the past, but I read something about extensions. It's greek to me.

    3. Also, I tried to drag and drop a photo and that failed also.

    5. What is the extension of the failing file?

    6. That's the odd thing. It doesn't have one. When I go to look at it, it displays the "kind" as Photos Library. All of my pictures are in there, with the exception of some that I used quite a while ago. If I just open photos (not trying to upload in blogger), choose one, click edit then extensions, it says that photos are not enabled. I think that's a clue...but I can't seem to enable them.

    7. could you attach one to an email and send it to me?

    8. Okay, I think there are more problems than I thought. I can't attach it to an email, I assume for the reasons stated above. It also won't let me send the pic as an email even though I have gmail. Not sure where to go from here.

    9. It flat out won't let me open the pics in any application. I can only open them directly through the mac. No attaching, no sending, no uploading, no downloading. It has to be the extensions, or lack thereof.

    10. I'm outta my league. I used a Mac for four hours 15 years ago, it sounds like a Mac problem.

    11. I'm not a windows bird either-but I'm forced to use it by business.

    12. I hear you! I need to migrate back to PC....after 3 different people, we finally got it figured out. Turns out that library can't be accessed and I have to export all of the pictures to another folder to be able to get to them. Would have been nice to know that before I had to update. All is good now. Thanks for your help!

    13. Super. Now you have to look at my baby pix. I was a cute egg and I have a million of them.

      Delete
    14. Anytime! We love baby pics! Just as long as she doesn't have to export.

  3. Nope I know nothing about Mac. I have been having issues with blogging from mom's phone if I try to post, blogger shuts me down. This is a pain in the arse because I hate dragging out the yaptop. So much easier when I can use mom's phone.

    Aroo to you,
    Sully

  4. Hey Sully, I wish our Mom was smart enough to do everything from the phone but Naaahhh BOL. The problem is the pics were taken on the human sis's phone and uploaded to mom's mac. So she's really in a tizzy. It won't even bring up the photos to choose from...old or new! And what's with this new update? Sometimes I get the old format, sometimes the new one. Guess that's what happens when you take a long break.

    1. BOL BOL it took three different Apple guys to get there. Even sent us to a Senior techy guy! We created a new folder for our pics to export to. Why would they change it? We liked the old iPhoto that let you upload directly. Too much of her brain power is being used. Took over 2 hours for them to figure it out. *shaking doggie heads* Tell your Mama thanks! We are sure we will need help again BOL
