"In the event that the image was recorded with a 360 or circular camera framework that adds 360 metadata to the image document, then you can transfer a 360 video to your own Timeline a similar way you'd transfer some other image," says Facebook on a post- http://wccftech.com/view-post-360degree-photos-facebook/
Assuming, in any case, an image was caught utilizing a camera framework that does not include the 360 metadata into the video record, Facebook clients need to add the 360 metadata to the document. A short time later, they have to complete comparable strides in transferring some other recordings to their Timelines or Pages- http://gonetech.net/facebook-technical-support-phone-number/

Uploading photos to Facebook is an easy way to share with your family and friends.
Facebook offers several options for posting photos, including your profile pictures, photo albums and photos posted to walls.
Facebook lets you choose files to upload from your computer or take a photo directly from your webcam.
If you want to post photos to Facebook from your webcam, you must first allow Facebook permission to access your webcam.
Navigate to Facebook's website and log in to your account.
Click "Photo" under the "Share" heading in the center column of your Facebook homepage.
Click the "Take a Photo with a webcam" link.


Click "Allow" when prompted by Facebook to allow access to your webcam.
Check the "Remember" box if you want to automatically allow Facebook to access your webcam in the future. Click the "Close" button.


Click the "No Filter" link in the top-left corner of the webcam preview window if you want to apply a filter effect to your photo before posting and choose a filter from the drop-down menu.
Click the "No Filter" link if you want to remove the filter.


Click the blue camera icon to take a photo.
If you want to retake your photo, click the gray "X" in the upper-right corner of the photo window.


Enter any text regarding the photo into the "Say something about this photo" field.
Click the "Share" button to post your webcam photo to Facebook.
You can also post a photo from your webcam directly to your profile wall by clicking the "Photo" link under the "Share" heading on your profile page

Testimonial: "I couldn't find any option to use photos from the webcam. It lets me open the files that the photos are on,and select them.The loading symbol appears but the photos don't appear and no error appears.I think it could be the size of the photos,but resizing them doesn't seem to work"

    Might be a problem with Java Whether the picture is large or small, you can put it on Facebook. If you want to show your friends your computer background or some other very large image, you dont have to worry about the size of it being too large for Facebook. Facebook automatically resizes pictures to fit the web pages margins, so you can upload any size picture you want to the site. Open and log in to your Facebook account in your Web browser. Click on your name on the left side of the screen to view your profile. Click the Photos tab at the top. Open the album in which you want to add the picture to. You can also create a new album by click Create Photo Album at the top. Click Add More Photos while viewing the album. Allow the Java tool to access your browser if you receive a pop-up asking if you want to Run it. Find the picture you want to add from the folders on the left task pane. The pictures within the folders will show up in the center window. Choose the picture(s) you want to upload by clicking the box in the top, left of the picture. Click Upload. Wait for the picture to upload. You will receive a message stating the upload was successful when it finishes.

SOURCE: i need help loading videos from my camera onto my laptop

Hello sarahmcgrath

Use the usb cable supplied with your digital camera and plug it into your computer. It then should automatically be detected and give you the option to transfer photos or videos to your computer. If this does not open check your My Computer for irremovable media drive. The memory card in the camera will show up as another driver letter open up then copy the photos or video from there to your computer.

Pleaes rate my solution, thanks

SOURCE: The digital card slot on my laptop doesn't seem to

Hi ionevike...
1...Reinstall your drivers, that should solve the problem, sometimes the drivers get corrupted.
2...Purchase a card reader like found at the following webpage(They can be found at other sites also, and in other places.)
It is eaiser to use because you will insert your card into the reader and plug the usb into a vacant usb port on your computer..it will ope a window...choose to "view the files"...when you make that choice, another window will open and show your pictures...highlight them and drag and drop them to your file/folder of your choice.
Please take time to rate me

Error code: 369000

Hi there!
Error code 369000 on the DSi is a photo upload error from trying to upload a photo to Facebook. This feature in the Nintendo DSi Camera application has unfortunately been discontinued so there is no way to fix the error, you will no longer be able to upload photos to Facebook from your DSi directly.

If you still want to post the photos you've taken on your DSi you can save them onto your sd card, then plug the sd card into your computer and post them from your computer.

Have a fantastic day!

Importing pictures

Try NOT connecting your camera to your computer.


The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.


Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program.

How do i put pictures from my computer onto facebook

Hi!

here's how:
Log in on facebook... click on profile....select Photos tab.. Click the "+ Create a Photo Album" button....Enter the name for the Album and click "Create Album"..... the best so far and the fastest to upload pictures to facebook is by using the "Simple Uploader... Click the :Try the simple uploader button, just under the "CANCEL" button....browse the picture from your PC, and select 5 of this to Upload. Check the box for terms of use and click Upload Photos...
That it.. its simple.

However, on some occasion this will not upload pictures with larger size....My suggestion to you is to download Image Resizer software... Install this software to your computer... To use this.. find your pictures and right click to it.. Click the resize picture and it will copy with a smaller size (pictures with 2mb will resize to almost 80 kb... then select all pictures with lesser size and let this be the one to be uploaded..



Hope this help.
Much appreciated if you rate this help.. thanks

My pictures are too large when downloaded onto laptop. How can I change the setting so that I can mail to friends? I never had a problem until my son borrowed the camera & altered it!

You can resize the images. For this you can use Irfanview or Paint. Or click here to visit a website which will allows you to upload and resize photos.it allows you to resize one by one.

If you want to use Paint, right-click on any photo you wish to resize and click edit. Press Ctrl+A to select the complete photo. Then drag the sliders wher you can see the end of the photo. Or

  1. Open the image file you wish to edit.
  2. Click the Image Menu at the top and select Stretch/Skew Image.
  3. Choose a percentage figure to resize the image. To avoid distortion, choose the same percentage for the horizontal and vertical stretch.
  4. Click OK.
  5. Once you have the desired size, click File, then Save or click Save As... to prevent overwriting the original image.

Upload pictures onto laptop- way too big

This is a 12.1MP camera...if you have it set to take pictures that large, then the files will be huge...too big for the internet. You have to downsize them first...that's perfectly normal. You could set the camera to take lower quality pics, but if you come across one you would like to enlarge, it won't turn out very well. Why not continue the procedure you now use if it's working for you.
