as well (all 15,000 of them)....stored in our safe. So I have 3 places, hopefully that would be safe.

Well, they are, after all...stored in a SAFE...

True dat! I have a separate hard drive just for backup,it backs up at least 4x/day, AND I have all my pics on zip drives as well (all 15,000 of them)....stored in our safe. So I have 3 places, hopefully that would be safe.

I just wish I had learned a lesson from my bro-in-law. I'd been storing things on the designated space with my internet provider - one day they were gone. They stopped offering that service but didn't offer any advance warning.

Before I lose what little sanity I have left,
can somebody PLEASE tell me how to copy the pics from MeowMix's Moab pics album in Photobucket to my Photobucket account??
I want the actual files, not just a link to them.....

• I tried downloading it (as it shows how to do it)......but it keeps saying I've already downloaded it within 24 hrs and can't do it again unless I start process all over....
  So I started over....same problem....
  
  
• I tried dragging each pic over to my account....
  
  
• I tried emailing it (under Share function)…all I got was a link TO her album, not copied to mine.
  
  
• I tried the "share" function...only offers to send email and/or the link code.......see above
  
  
• Can't figure out how to direct it to UPLOAD pics FROM her account to mine...
  
  
• I don't use facebook or twitter so that's not an option.

HELP!!!!

Unfortunately the easiest way photobucket has is to FTP the files in and out. The downside, is you need a pro account, otherwise they put all these limitations on you that makes it difficult/hassle downloading...

Have you decided which hosting you are using?

I do prefer picasaweb over all of them, they do have a standalone app that you can download that helps a lot in organizing and then you can sync to picasaweb... The upside for me using it, is all picures I take on my phone is auto-uploaded to picasaweb so I always have a backup.

I refuse to lay my hands on the pc that's in my living room.. lol.. unless it needs tech support because it's dying.. or whatever else issues pc users have..

Them's fightin' words....

I can't help with the online transfer, but... how 'bout going a little lower tech? Mail MeowMix a cheap thumb drive (of appropriate size, of course) and ask to her copy her original files onto it and mail it back in a self addressed stamped envelope.

Kat: I too am a Nikon & a Mac junkie.. much like driving my VX, I refuse to lay my hands on the pc that's in my living room.. lol.. unless it needs tech support because it's dying.. or whatever else issues pc users have.. I find that running Chrome browser seems to be the best.. I can't stand slow safari.. even firefox makes me nuts.. too slow.. if you're finding across the board that websites in general are ALL seeming to have issues, reboot (shut off /unplug-wait 30 seconds plug back in) routers & modems or whatever web access you have. For instance, I find about once a month chrome on my mac starts slowing way down, pages won't load for what seems like eternity.. error logs, all the bs.. I reboot modem & router that's wired to the PC (Im wireless on my MacBook) and it's triple speed and runs great on any website..
As far as websites for hosting photo's only.. I use a few, I am a freelance photographer, and I tend to use caution when posting gallery worthy photo's just anywhere.. so I guess it depends on really what you're looking for. Large amounts of storage space? displaying a few great pic's? selling them? all of the above? I use photobucket for daily snap shots not worth $$.. cafepress for selling.. copyright protected..

For whatever ever reason, my pc is the same way with chrome...

I know... my fingers are dirty, cuz I use a pc, but I don't have to coax it into the mood...

for the tips anyway...
