Posting photos from an iPad. I'm an idiot...

11 years ago

I promised Oakley I'd post pictures of my rings and someone else asked for a photo of my rug. I can't figure out how to post pictures to my picture trail from my iPad as I don't know how to create an upload able file. I don't know how to get a picture here anymore.

What knowledge am I missing?

Thanks in advance!

I know you can download the Photobucket app onto your iPad, and then upload your photos into it. All of my original PB albums remained in/on it, and I've since uploaded new photos on my laptop or on my iPad/iPhone, and they are available to me on all three devices. I can post pics (on GW) by accessing my PB acct from any of the three devices.

Cat mom's info is correct. Use the free photobucket app. If you have used it on another device, and can remember your password (the only problem I had), all your pictures will be there.

I often read that people have problems with photobucket, I never have. Except for remembering the passwood....

Good luck.

Novelist, sorry about the rootstock info. I should have realized you were searching for whole trees... after I read your post a second time. There are a lot of unique varieties, I should say antique or "heirloom" rather, that you need to request by March. They will graft them for you and you can either pick them up in the fall or have them shipped to you. But sometimes there are plenty of more common varieties available if you start looking early. You are at the tail end of the planting season so its not too surprising that you may have trouble finding everything you want. But if you look at it this way, you can take your time now looking at exactly what you want and order within the next few weeks and then have all summer to prepare for their arrival for fall planting. Have fun!

I can tell you they are OK, or probably OK, but of course you realize there are no guarantees with seeds :) Your sequoia seeds should have been fine right at about 32F, especially if the drop to freeze was gradual and not as abrupt as taking them from room temp and plunging them into an actual freezer that would be more in the temp range of 0 - 10F. I think it's that very quick change (rather than over several hours like mother nature would do) that is hardest on seeds and can damage them.

I'm an iced tea idiot....

Two ways... quick and quicker. I can hang a couple three bags in my Mr Coffee drip coffee maker and just run plain water. Usually I drink a cup or so hot and the rest goes in a bottle in the fridge. For tea to take to work I nuke a mug with a couple tea bags. Let it steep for about 5 minutes and pour it in an old gatoraid bottle with the help of a funnel. A shot of honey that I shake into it for sweetness. Top it off with cold water and I have a quart of tea ready for transport. We have an ice machine at work so I can pour it in a cup of ice. A favorite is chai spice tea with honey... a very drinkable ice tea. The rest of the time I change up black teas and green tea... sometimes a bag of each. Assam is a favorite and I'll also go for ceylon... not really a big fan of orange pekoe. I get heartburn from soda pop so in the summer I drink iced tea by the gallons. Found honey tends to make mold grow in my tea bottle so I have to bleach it clean every few days. Most of my honey is used to sweeten iced tea... drink my hot tea unsweetened. : ) lyra

I really wasn't going to respond to this thread because it's not really in my areas of knowledge per se. By which I mean to say, it is and it isn't. I'm a cabinetmaker, so I have my own body of knowledge, but it is mostly knowledge I have picked up since we bought our home sixteen years ago. First I fumbled around with the remodeling, then I took five years of woodworking classes, and I kept at it. That's how I learned. I also have the boon of a general contractor who is a personal friend, and whenever I need to do something major, I hire him, and the two of us work on the project together. But to get back to the subject at hand, I don't always use my friend or myself to do the work that needs to be done. Whenever I hire someone else, though, I tell people up front that I'm a cabinetmaker, and a fair number of them never bid on the job! It's because people in the construction trade know cabinetmakers to be picky, picky. Which we are! As for how things have turned out for me, there have been some good experiences and some bad experiences, which is why I try to do as much of this myself as I can. I also work very hard to know as much as I can about the work I am getting others to do. And I let them know that I am picky, picky, picky. Because it's my house, and I'm paying the bills on this. I personally am one of those who believes women are just as smart as men and just as entitled to respect, so I have no problem doing what the client wants, male or female. And I know other cabinetmakers (and my general contractor friend) who feel the same way. In response to the ladies, though, I would say, you have to demand respect. And the first time I heard something condescending, I would call them on it. I also feel very strongly that you have to be the one in charge whether you have a general contractor or not. That's the relationship I have with my friendÂand granted, he's a friend, but still, that's the way it should be. When I have a project, the two of us will discuss various options for it, and we then set to work. And at every turn of the road, I call all the shots. I do, of course, listen to him and make changes when he tells me we should, because he's the one who knows. But those with no real knowledge of kitchen remodelings who hire a general contractor are, I think, pretty much at his mercy UNLESS they do their homework. But, hey, you're going to spend thirty or forty thousand dollars. Protect your investment. Here is a link that might be useful: Cabinet & Furniture Trends & Information

You can also just click on the choose file button above, then choose existing, and it will let you pick from your camera roll on your iPad. Easy.

Cyn427, this is what I'm trying to do. I do not see a file button above. This is why I feel like an idiot... I know it should be easy.

Goldie - see the open box and then the button "browse" - that's it. You may be looking for a button that says "file".

For me, on my iPad, the Choose File button is not clickable. Its there, but not in an 'active' (is that the correct term?) mode.

Maddie, I'm curious if the browser you are using is different than the one I use. Generally I use Saffari. Maybe another browser is more comparable with Garden Web?

Gold, I also use Saffari....

Have you downloaded the photobucket app? It really is easy to put your pictures in albums and upload them to GW using it.

Oh dear. Then, I can't help. Under post a follow up, my ipad shows image file to uoload (optional) and if I tap on the choose file button next to that, I get a pop-up menu that says take photo or choose existing. When I tap choose existing, it takes me to my camera roll on my ipad. Then, I choose a photo by tapping and it shows in a tiny format next to the choose file button. The large photo shows up in preview. If you decide to edit and preview again, you have to upload the photo again.

I don' know what to do if your button doesn't work. Sorry.

My iPad lets me post photos, just as cyn described it. If yours doesn't work, could it be something in the settings or an older model iPad that does not have the capability to interface with the program?

I think I have the latest iPad. I have a mini and a regular iPad. I'm used to posting photos using the auction link, not the HTML link.

I have an iPad mini and use Safari. Here is a screen shot of what the follow-up section looks like on my mini. Does this help?

I couldn't click the choose file button, but I decided to see what would happen if I updated my iOs software ........and it works now!

My iPad had to be replaced (under warranty) and on the new one the choose file button was inactive, unlike the old one. I was puzzled and frustrated. After seeing Gothami's post last night, I updated my IOS software and my choose file button is active now.

Thanks!

My iPhone can post pictures using the choose file button. I guess I need to update my iPad too.

I much prefer the photobucket app as it is easy to post multiple photos. Open photobucket app, go to the photo in the album, touch the link icon at top, all the link options popup, touch the html link option and it is automatically copied. In the gw rowser page just touch where you want the picture and it is automatically posted. You can repeat for as manynas you need. Uploading is also a snap.
