Silly question...can't seem to upload pic to a MAC???

Silly question....

Can't seem to post a pic.  I select a file and then click "change profile" and it never loads....could the file be too big????? I don't believe it is.

They have to be pretty small to load up ;) Can you resize and see if it works?

I do have a mac, and couldn't for the life of me, figure out how to shrink it.

Thanks for offering to help :)

Ok- good- i have a mac and can tell you what i do!!

So go to iphoto and select the photo you want. Go up to 'file' and then select 'export'.. you'll get a dialogue box up then and you need to select 'JPEG quality' to low AND 'size' to small- you need both small to work.. Then you choose a name to save it under- but this name is often displayed when you post it- so keep that in mind!

See how that goes for you!! I'm looking forward to seeing your little guy!!
Katy, Mummy to Hamish!

Thanks!!!  I tell him all the time "you're lucky that you're so cute" lol.

I think you mentioned in another post that he's 9 months?  I'm sure neither of you sit for very long these days.  Busy age.  My LO is just over 6 months and dying to crawl.  I keep telling him to wait....mama's not ready for him to be on the move.

All Nolan wants is electronics....cameras, phones, remotes, the monitor...lol.  It must be because they see us using them.
