Awesome build so far mate! Looks like a lovely home and nice patch of dirt you have to call your own.

Keep your chin up with the chemo.

Looking forward to the progress!

Walt, your little piece of paradise is looking good. If you need a bunch of clutter to help you fill it up, I can bring a load or two to you. I'm ready for warmer weather, it was 72* here yesterday and suppose to snow tomorrow?
Hope you are feeling better.

dw1. I don,t think I will need any help filling my piece of paradise. I have my own piles of clutter no more needed. Yesterday was 70 degrees here and tomorrow it is supposed to snow with an overnight low tonight of 29 degrees.
I feel better every day, although tired at times. I to am ready for nicer warm weather. Thanks for the reply.

WALT: walk us through the process you are doing to try and post pictures and maybe we can get you over this small hurdle. hell you got that big garage built and we'd all love to see it and maybe even more so want to see what the heck you needed a 4000 square foot shop for.

ok?

how do you take pictures? cell phone like i do or how?

are they saved to your laptop or are you trying to load pictures from your cell phone?

which method are you using to load the pictures on GJ?

maybe you can get the pictures loaded and ask A MOD to remove the frown on your thread too.

good luck

Drives my wife takes the pictures with a nikon coolpix. I then put them in my desktop computer. I can see every picture she has taken, but I can not get them load to GJ. As the pictures are loaded onto my computer they are sorted by month and day they were taken. When I go to my picture file I can see the pictures taken in March. Now when I try to browse the March pictures will not show to select any for upload to the GJ. If this makes any sense.

WALT: it might be the format you are saving your pictures in. are you saving them in .jpg (last three letters where you name your pictures if you are naming them or if you are just using the #'s the camera gives you). can you see the last three letters after the period or name you gave the pictures?

i'm probably not the best person to help you with computer issues cause I've had a new laptop for maybe 3 months now and i still need to download Microsoft office that i have on disks. since my new dell laptop doesn't have a CD or DVD player i need to buy MS office 2016 or 2017 off their website or load my 2010 or 2013 (i think i bought a few more years prior to that too) with a external hard drive. i do own an external hard drive so what's my excuse.

ok i digressed a bit here and just wanted to let you know i know something about computers, but it's not my best topic. basically i'm a plug and play guy.

so you were able to take pictures and load them up before and were you using the same camera or process? besides you having Cheemo what else has changed cause i don't think that should effect your posting pictures?

do you have a folder you save all your pictures to? it sounds like maybe the pictures are not being saved to the right folder if you can't find them when browsing. or do you know how you are saving them?

for fun let's pretend you took one picture ok? now download one of the pictures on your camera to a folder you have set up or make a new one that you can find. with me so far? now click on your thread and make a post. i use the paperclip method that is just above where we write our posts so click on the paperclip. now a pop up menu should pop up. ok? click browse button then pick out the ONE PICTURE you just downloaded and then click upload. after it's loaded close the pop up and submit the picture with some words in the post about it cause i don't think you can just post a picture. ok?

did it work or what do you think happened?

good luck!!

Some Nikon Coolpix cameras save images as RAW files instead of, or in additional to .jpg files. The Raw files I'm guessing aren't allowed on GJ because they are generally HUGE in file size. Maybe look on the camera itself and see if it is set to take .jpg pictures as well as raw. I would set the camera to just take .jpg pictures if possible. Hope this helps.

WALT: i'd suggest downloading all your March pictures again into you computer and either making a new folder for them or making sure they are going into the RIGHT FOLDER. sometimes i go to save something and a setting or file was changed and i'll download a file and never find it unless i remembered the name i gave it if i gave it one.

my guess is you saved your March pictures in a different folder so look for that folder in your files if you know how or might be easier to just download the pictures again to a folder you know you can find. do a test with one or two pictures first so you'll know it's working.

Jeff: thanks for trying to help a couple old guys. :thumbup:

Same with me and my computer at times. When I do have problems with my computer and feel like I want to smash it - coincidently if I get my hammer and just set it next to it then it gets the message and sometimes things sort themselves out .....

Mike ASC. A hammer how mundane I like to think more on the lines of dynamite. Until I can find some one to tell me what I am doing wrong on this picture thing I am doomed. I have a Dell XPS with windows ten. All my pictures go into a folder named my pictures. As previously stated they are sorted by month. When a new month roles around a new folder is created for the new month. I can access and upload all pictures prior to March 2017. I can access March 2017 pictures to look at but when I go to browse they do not come up. The last pictures to show when going to browse are Feb 2017. Oh to be a computer genius and know what to do. I have tried all previous suggestions to no avail.

Walt, are you using Internet Explorer as your browser to access Garage Journal? You might try downloading Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome and use one of those to get on Garage Journal if you haven't already.

Jeff Scott. I have always used firefox for everything. I do not like internet explorer. Thanks for the help. I think the problem is me not knowing what avenue to pursue. How to make my pictures program work. I do not think for one minute the problem is in the garage journal.

Try copying your latest pictures to another folder, upload from there.

Walt, when you are loading pictures to your computer, are you hooking up the camera and letting the "system" download those pictures for you?

Try creating a new folder like Cougar suggested to copy/paste those picture files to your computer.

If all else fails, I have a way to be there to help you virtually.

Let me know.

WALT: sounds like FGI might be on a road trip and maybe on his way to the rescue. or maybe he has a way to do face time or some other way to talk you through the process.

can you take pictures with your cell phone like i do? then what i do is email all my daily pictures to myself. then i open up the email on my laptop and open up the pictures, do any editing i need to and mostly lighten them up cause my camera is old and takes dark pictures, then i save in a file that i made for each item. in your instance make a GARAGE FOLDER and then just date the new items. if you have many photos of a particular item say like cement or insulation or electrical then make new folders inside garage folders. my method is far from the fastest or best method available, but it works for me so I'll keep doing this until i figure out something better or get a new phone that might work easier another way.

i used to take pictures with my Kodak digital, then set the camera in it's loading dock and download pictures that way that worked pretty well, but then i'd have to remember to take the camera and i always have my cell phone on me hence the change for convenience.

good luck

finallygotit. I connect my wife's camera to my computer and it goes beep. Next it says looking for new pictures. Then it says X amount of pictures found what do you want to do. Make a new folder and it does. My last new folder showed March 2017 and the pictures were in it . I can go to my pictures without the camera connected and the pictures are there. The biggest problem is I live in the fifties in my mind and it has a very difficult time understanding the ways of 2017. If you can help me it would be greatly appreciated. I have team viewer on my computer, installed by my comp repair person in CA but it is not doing me a bit of good here in TN.

Walt,

Things are a bit nuts around these parts lately, but I would like to help you. I would like to try to get access to your computer, if you don't mind. So in the meantime, if you could go to this website and download the software (it's free).

Click here

On the website, enter your e-mail address and create a password. In the next couple of days I will send a private message to you with my phone number so we can talk. I'm thinking Thursday evening, if that's agreeable with you.

Note: If at anytime you feel uncomfortable about doing this, let me know and this will stop.

Cheers!!

Walt, looks like plans have somewhat changed. Would Friday be OK? I have a last minute command to go south of the border for work. :sad:

BTW to confirm, you are three hours ahead of me so I will do my best to get home around 17:00 (5 PM) to start this.

WALT & FIO: best of luck with the fix and Walt if you've never had an offsite technical person work on your computer from their desk it can be interesting to watch so watch what FIO does and maybe you'll learn to be as handy on your computer as you are in the shop/garage.

cheers and thanks FIO for helping Walt!! :bowdown:
