Photobucket
« on: October 01, 2013, 07:22:32 PM »
As some of you know, both my desktop and laptop computers took a dump about the same time this spring.

Does anyone know how to retrieve photos I put out on Photobucket? I have 75 pics out there from our trip to Ireland, but I think I've lost the originals I had on my former computers.

Maybe I can't do it, but it seems like it should be possible.

You should be able to log on to Photobucket and download them to what ever computer you're on at the moment.

Yup. Your photobucket account can be accessed with your photobucket username and password no matter what device you're using to access the account.

Oh, I do that with no problem. But I don't see anything that allows me to copy my pics BACK to myself.

I see. What kind of device are you on? PC? Mac? Tablet? Phone?

Thanks!

I'll work on it. I can't click on the Download option for a photo for some unknown reason.

Maybe I should try it on my WIN8 laptop.

Maybe try navigating to the picture, and instead of clicking "download", perhaps try a control>click (mac) or right-click (win). Either of those may bring up a download option in a dropdown menu.

I couldn't get that to work for me.

I did use the MAC, though. I saved the file to a folder with a new name. SHAZAAM! I got 'em!  ::thumbsup::    ::cool::

Good.  Glad something worked for you.  Computer issues are one of the things that get me to tearing out me hair.
