Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

“Cheese and Kraken paired together for the appetizer trial.”

Joe Lieberman disappointingly reemerged to remind us that he’s still alive.

Putin dreamed of ending NATO, and now it’s Finnish-ed.

Let’s finish the job.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

Not all heroes wear capes.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

He really is that stupid.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

… among the most cringeworthy communications in the history of the alphabet!

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

Everybody saw this coming.

Late Night Tech Question

by John Cole|  September 1, 20121:20 am| 40 Comments

This post is in: Science & Technology

FacebookTweetEmail

I have 400 pictures on my Iphone. Is there any way to send them all at once to a laptop or desktop? The idea of emailing each one individually gives me the heebie jeebies.

*** Update ***

I now have them all imported to my laptop. Now how do I delete them all at once off my iphone?

*** Update #2 ***

Never mind, I’m a moron. They are deleted.

    ou plug your iPhone into whichever computer it is tethered to. You open iPhoto or whatever the PC equivalent of it is, you transfer the pics to the photo program like the iPhone is a camera connected through a USB port.

    When you connect your iPhone to a computer it will appear as a removable drive, so you can just drag and drop the pictures to a local drive on the computer. I use a Windows machine and it works that way at least. Select them all, drag and drop, done.

    Sadly, as a confirmed Mac geek, I have no iPhone. But my Samsung phone can transfer to either of my Macs via Bluetooth, very slick.

    You should also be able to use dropbox if you want to go that route.

    Connect vis USB to a Mac. Use the Mac’s Image Capture program to transfer all photos at once. Simple.

    1. Use the DuranDuran app to automatically upload the photos to the cloud.

    2. Use the FlinkME app to have the cloud send them automatically to the nearest fax machine (within 10 miles of your phone).

    3. Once the photos print out on the fax, use the PolypNow app to scan them back into your iPhone, which will automatically download them back to your Photo Stream.

    4. Synch your iPhone with your desktop, but be sure to have tweaked 100-150 lines of the code in FORTRAN in iPhoto so the color balance stays within gamma on the outdoor photos.

    5. Connect a USB drive to the desktop, and using the CritterSlut app, transfer the photos from the iPhoto folder (or your synced iPhone Photo Stream or directly via the Airport wireless router from your fax machine) to the USB drive.

    6. Pass the USB drive to Paul Ryan, who can apparently run fast enough to turn back time, and have him take it to a Fox Foto kiosk for 72-hour turnaround for 4 x 6″ prints (glossy or matte).

    Could it be any easier?

    @Trentrunner: No, No. On Step 5 you don’t use CritterSlut, you use UnrealRape, but make sure you check the SlutShaming box along with the Spastic Tubes option or you’ll end up with pictures you don’t want.

    I bet you only have 255 photos.

    @Trentrunner: Then put the whole thing in a paper bag, wave it over your head, and scream like a chicken?

    @Cole:

    Now how do I delete them all at once off my iPhone?

    Maybe I missed how you copied them to the computer, but if you do the “connect your iPhone to the computer so it’s seen as a removable drive” thing, it’s but the work of a moment to select all the photo files (in Windows Explorer or the Mac analogue) and delete them. That’s how I do it with my lowly Droid.

    This may not be useful, but I have been out this evening and just felt like commenting to get back into the swing of things here at the Juice.

    ETA: You’re welcome! (As ABL would say.)

    @Bill E Pilgrim: But the photos are 20 years old, so obviously Cole can’t remember how many he’s got.

    If you sync with your Mac, just connect it to your iPhone, open iPhoto and tell it to import everything. Alternately, if you have an iCloud account, go into iPhoto and take them out of your Photostream and drop them into an album. No need to connect the devices for that. Dropbox also works – import them into a dropbox folder, sync, delete. The newer versions of Dropbox on iPhone can be set to automatically sync your photos.

    After you imported them you should have gotten the option to delete them from the phone. If not then there is no “delete all” option apparently. You have to go into thumbnail view, select all the files you want to delete and then delete them.

    Did you import them onto a Windows 7 PC? I believe you can access them on the phone and delete them there….

    I’d definitely avoid the CritterSlut app recommended by Trentrunner….many users have caught viruses, incurable ones, from it. Also the Ryan Runner app he mentioned will certainly get photos back to you quickly, however they won’t be your photos. Instead your photos would have been run through a GOP reality generator–you know where up is down, black is white (but not with the people, God no!) and women look like walking uteri.

    That’s all I got.

    Right-clicking doesn’t bring up a helpful option for saving? Huh.

    Also, too, I love the bass line in Aeroplane, but the video is beyond bizarre. I think it’s a spoof on something I can’t reference, but maybe it just sucks.

    @Violet: Exactly.

    I still think someone has to do a Jon Lovitz Pathological Liar /Ryan video. Uh, because I ran…. under three minutes. Yeaah, that’s the ticket. (Pun intended, sorry).

    John Cole @ Top,

    but the question is, did you do it in under three minutes? ;)

    @Violet: Ah jeez. LOL. I just got that. =) I guess I’m a little slow (in my defense, it’s late).

    @PeakVT: I don’t know if it;s a spoof of any one movie specifically, but there’s definitely a Busby Berkeley thing going. Especially with the pool, keeping in mind he did some of the Esther Williams flicks.

    As long as Cole has solved the problem, I might as well chime in that I have deleted electronic records by stomping on them until they return to the dust from which they sprang.

    But, something tells me Cole doesn’t want to go that route on this one. But in an emergency, that is foolproof.

    Edit: and, this is another handy dandy use for firepits.

    In the future, you can use dropbox. I’m finding that to be a very convenient solution.

    For macs, I found that preview and iPhoto seemed to work – especially Preview. As for iTunes – that was a dreadful experience.

    You should get Windows. They are better then Macs. And so the flamewar begins…

    @gwangung: Ding! Ding! That is the correct answer. IPhoto is one of Apple’s great POS apps.

    Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete. [Choices: Upgrade, Quit]

    @PeakVT:

    It looks to me like it’s referencing the video for “Cough Syrup” by Young the Giant.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAsTlnjvetI

    Not sure what the point is, other than “RHCP can afford to hire lots more synchronized swimmers than you kids did.”

    I still have a functional Kay-Pro 64, bought in 1985.

    Someday I hope to fund my retirement play with it when it becomes a valuable ant ique.

    One floppy for the program, one floppy for the data, serial output to a daisy wheel carbon ribbon printer for my resume.

    $3700 when new, 9 inch CRT green screen, weighs about 50 lbs.
