Attaching photos to posts
« on: Monday 17 June 13 13:09 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I have tried several times recently to attach photos to posts, but each time I get a message saying there is already a file with the same name.  I don't know how to change a file name, so give up in frustration!  I expect it's my lack of skills, so would be glad of assistance!

Right click on the photo and you should see rename in the list of options. I normally add xxxx to the name just in case  there is one the same name, but you can change it to anything.

Hi Ann...If you locate the photo on your computer and right click on the file name...it will give you the option to rename the file then add a letter or number to the file name and up load again.

Thanks for your replies Stan and Carol.  I'm sure if I was using a lap or desk top computer your help would solve my problem, but I'm using an iPad, and cannot work out how to do the equivalent of a right click!  I've looked at the user guide to no avail!  Never mind, I'll probably have to admit defeat!

I found a thread on the Technical Help board about iPads so I posted a question on there about my photo problem, and have received some extremely useful advice, so I'm happily sorted! And may soon find I can attach photos, after some practice!
