This is the native Mac format and should work. I vaguely remember this solving a similar problem for me years ago. I think preview can do the conversion in 10.2.<div><br></div><div>Regards</div><div><br></div><div>Rod</div><div><br><div><div>On 02/06</div><div>/2008, at 5:23 PM, Cathy WHEELER wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0; "><div>Yes garry<br><br>They're definitely .jpgs. I checked that. I'm not at that computer now, so will check in the morning. I found one picture that was able to be selected, so I can check the permissions on it as opposed to ALL the others. I still don't get it as I have a similar imac with 10.2.3 on it and 2.1.2 imovie, but I have no problems selecting any jpg file from anywhere on the computer.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br><br>And, why would they all be greyed out so that I can't select them. Will I have to change permissions on all of the files individually and when the kids download more pics will I have to change permssions on them as well?
