I there a way to take photos from my son's FB and add them to my FB photo album? Thanks

1.Open sons foto, press 'Prnt Scrn' key on kboard.
2.Open Paint & paste foto; save file as jpg
3.Open your FBook & upload saved jpg foto.

I don't have a proper keyboard as I am on an iPad - can't put the photos onto my laptop as it doesn't like pictures (for some bizarre reason). Thanks for your answer though!

1.Open photo on son's FB page, right click and select save.
2 Choose photo from wherever you saved it to when uploading to your FB.

or just tag yourself in them

I assume that by 'take' you mean 'copy', rather than 'remove'. (Only your son, or Mum using his log-in details, can actually remove the pictures).

Any picture on the internet can normally be saved to your hard drive simply by right-clicking on it, and then selecting 'Save image as' (or whatever similar wording your choice of browser uses). Once an image is on your computer, you can then upload it to your own Facebook site.

If Facebook blocks 'right-clicking', you can still save any internet image by using a screen capture. The easiest way to do that is to use a utility such as ScreenPrint32, which lets you select the exact part of the screen which you want:

does that work on an ipad Chris ?

Thanks all - I tagged them (thanks 4get). This iPad thing is beyond me (but a very cool toy which I do let everyone else use!)

Unfortunately not, as far as I know, Tamborine. I was typing rather slowly (and defrosting a meal at the same time!) so Sherr's post wasn't there when I started mine.

Since Facebook's Java application is designed to allow you to search for pictures on a hard drive (or external drive, such as a USB memory stick), Sherr will need to use some form of 'normal' computer. I'm surprised, however, that her laptop doesn't like pictures. I remain reasonably confident that she should be able to save them to its hard drive or, if not, to a media stick plugged into a USB port.

Hi Buenchico - apparently, I have to take off the photo programme that is currently on my laptop and put a new one on (according to my dad) but I never quite get round to doing it. Currently, it likes some photos and only shows half of other ones.

I'll stay with the iRon - I can just about manage that

[Buenchico]

Since you don't need to view the photos on your laptop to do the transfer, the availability (or otherwise) of an image-viewing program is completely irrelevant. You can still save the a picture to your hard drive (even if you can't view it) and then upload it to the web (e.g. to Facebook), where you will be able to see it.

However, if you want a decent (free) image viewing & manipulation program, this is what you need:

Thanks Buenchico, when I get round to it, I will have a look at that (can't do it anytime soon as the laptop is here and the power lead is at my husband's work).
