can someone explain why a lot of photos are downloading sideways
All Ive done is change laptops and the new one post the pictures
sideways. Even if I turn them the other way before posting they still
post up sideways, very annoying, I use chrome if thats of any use
Try putting the laptop on its side when you post
>>>tappin from tassie
Are you taking the photo's on a mobile phone and have you bought a new phone recently, you will find it is the device you are taking the photo's on not the lappyQuote:

Seems to be with this forum or any forum in my experience, looks OK on your computer then upload it here and its on its side. I've rotated it onto it side then back again and saved it on the laptop and it seems to fix it. Bloody annoying though.
John, Take 1 photo with phone vertical how you would normally take a photo then turn the phone 180 deg and take the photo again then upload it here please.Quote:

When you upload photos online, "most" sites will also read the orientation EXIF tag and display the photos properly. In those cases where it does not, you can usually find a rotation button or icon to turn the photo to the proper orientation without having to correct the rotation locally and upload the photo again. Look for a pair of arrows, or a page icon with an arrow over it. Using desktop software that handles orientation properly should eliminate any issues of photos displaying sideways after you post them online
Talking of phones, did you ever manage to get the S4 going?
Nah mate, I bought a power button and my old man attempted to soldier it on but he doesn't have a steady hand and there are 5 solder joints on it.Quote:

I really miss that phone :(
Once I'm back in full time work and gotten a head a bit, I'll send it of somewhere 2 get repaired.
The other thing I was thinking of doing was just finding a second hand 1 on fleabay that has a cracked screen which will probable work out cheaper than getting it repaired
Ahhh thats a buggah...... I'd say I'd do it for ya but my hands arent too steady these days either, eyes are shot too lol..... my work mate gets back on Monday, I'll have a word with him and see if he's got any ideas. Sending it over here for him to look at it will be cheaper than getting it fixed iver there.Quote:

Wow thats not what expected now ill re do the twisting the image
on the phone first
2nd go see how this goes
given up GRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr no idea why it does this
Forget the pics,,,,, As some may know my other laptop is no more, and I wanted to retrieve all my pictures from it.
The USB port is RS so I brought a SD card. Ive reformatted it and retrieved all my pics which is great.
Question is can I just insert or remove the SD card at any time or do I need to log off or something like that.
Way too hi tech for me He He
just pull it out mate. so long as you are not sending or receiving any data on the drive, the chance for corruption will not be an issue.Quote:

and then Ill seperate them into different folders, That I know wow not bad for a luddite lol
Again thanks Rusty
Not sure if this is common knowledge But Ive noticed a lot of pictures are being posted sideways.
After a little test I found if I hold the phone upright the pic can be posted right way around.
If I hold the phone side ways the picture will be sideways when posted, might mean nothing
just saying.
Might add after taking a pic and cropping it I then bluetooth it over to the laptop.

Yes they should post the right way around unless you change the way you hold the phone when you take a picture.Quote:

Anyone know how to save a single page from a PDF? Cant figure it out. Trawling through the service manual and found a few interesting pages I want to save to my desktop. Printing them isnt an issue, just saving it.
Mate just set the page you want on the screen, and then screenshot it... Crop in Paint and then print as PDF. Tada! You have a single page PDF file... Yes you won't have text options, but it's something.
Yeah but I lose quality of the file. Its comes out a little blurry. I just realised my other laptop probably can do it as it has the Pro version of Adobe PDF on it. I forgot I wasn't on it and I'm just viewing through the free PDF viewer....
Just thinking can you select print in whatever you use to view the PDF (Acrobat I'm guessing), and then in print options select page to be printed, and then Print as PDF?
Just not sure if it lets you print a PDF as a PDF if that makes sense. Not home right not to try it.
I can extract a single page under the document tap up top but I have Adobe Pro and it may not be possible with standard PDF reader.Quote:

Mate, don't waste your money. Just get a free antivirus like Avira http://www.avira.com/en/free-antivirus-windows
I've been using it for years and years and never got any viruses
Heres a comparison site for freebies http://www.trustedreviews.com/best-f...virus_round-up
Lol i havent used any A/V for a couple of years now.Quote:

I do wonder sometimes whether half the viruses around are actually created by the people who make the programs to protect you from them.

I don't use it either mate, viruses don't just appear on computers, the come from user error. So long as you don't install programs that sound to good to be true you will be fine. The problem is that most people just rush through things on computers and that's how you get viruses and malwareQuote:

Dont use your PC as an admin and the above software and you should be fine...within reason...:)
Sorry Agman I don't quite understand this. I'm not fully IT savvy. What do you mean about not using PC as an admin? I use my PC to run my business, emails, payroll, banking, etc plus looking at dodgy internet sites like this one!! hahaQuote:

When you first switch on your PC do you log in? If you do log in, do you log in as administrator or admin? If you do this is bad because if any nasty stuff comes in through your browser it will install automatically and after that point the Malware owns your PC. If you log in via a user you will always get a dialog box come up to ask you if you want something installed. If something like this pops up and you are not installing anything then you know there is something trying to get admin privileges and install on your system - not good!
If you dont log on when you first turn on your PC then this is even worse again!
Thanks mate. This PC has 8GB RAM with over 90% unused, so presume the memory hogging Norton wouldn't be an issue? How much RAM does that program chew?Quote:
