Gmail Pic Problem

9 years ago

last modified: 9 years ago

I have a gmail account where all the relatives send monthly pictures of an activity or something of interest, and I have been saving them in a folder. At the end of the year, each family gets a Year Book with everyone's photos.

Problem is lately, I can not save the pictures. I don't have the box come up with the 'save as' option when I right click on the picture as I have been doing the past several years.

I've tried searching for the possible problem without success. Anyone else have this issue or have any suggestions?

When the thumbnail loads, you should see a downward arrow to download (on hover). No right-clicking required.

I tried your suggestion and find though it works, it requires several more steps than I am accustomed to. Right clicking on the photo allowed me to save it directly into the "family folder." My dear husband was the computer expert and I struggle to continue the tradition he started many years ago.

Sure hope I can get back to doing it my old familiar way. sigh

Could be a fungus like Vladimir said, could also be an insect egg or just dirt on a bit of fluff. However, I'm more concerned with how dusty the leaves are. I may just be dust or it could be the beginnings of a spider mite infestation. It's a good idea to wash off the leaves from time to time, like maybe every 4-6 weeks. Take them outside and hose them off, or if that's not possible, put them in the shower and shower them off with cool water. Then let them drain well and put them back where they were. It helps prevent spider mites as they're attracted to dusty plants. And your plants love the rinsing off!

Some of your problems look somewhat normal to me. How much sun are they getting? Water? Fertilizer/nutrition? They look a little under nourished. Also you could use a Daconil spray for fungus, and Sevin for insects.

Malwarebytes finished scanning and there were no infected files found. Not sure there's much point in posting it here, but I'll post it just in case: Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.36 Database version: 2079 Windows 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 5/5/2009 6:53:44 PM mbam-log-2009-05-05 (18-53-44).txt Scan type: Full Scan (C:\:) Objects scanned: 162741 Time elapsed: 26 minute(s), 40 second(s) Memory Processes Infected: 0 Memory Modules Infected: 0 Registry Keys Infected: 0 Registry Values Infected: 0 Registry Data Items Infected: 0 Folders Infected: 0 Files Infected: 0 Memory Processes Infected: (No malicious items detected) Memory Modules Infected: (No malicious items detected) Registry Keys Infected: (No malicious items detected) Registry Values Infected: (No malicious items detected) Registry Data Items Infected: (No malicious items detected) Folders Infected: (No malicious items detected) Files Infected: (No malicious items detected) ----------------------------- I guess the Avast boot time scan fixed the problem. Or it was some kind of weird glitch that automatically resolved itself by restarting the computer. Everything appears to be working well now. Thanks for all the help. Lynn.

I can't get in. I also had trouble with eBay last night, it would not allow me access I couldn't pay for a purchase. What's going on, is it my computer? Another site today wouldn't let me in.

I haven't been able to download pics the way you're describing in quite some time. Perhaps try a different browser?

If not, simply download everything during one email session, open the downloads folder, select all the photos you downloaded and drag them into whatever folder you want. It's not that much more complicated.
