    Nevermind everyone.  I realized I could email the internet link to myself, open the link via my email on my iPhone and just save the image that way.   There should be an easier way to do this than that.  If anyone knows of any tips, please still let me know.  Thanks.

    So, you mean you are unfamiliar with using the trackpad?

     

    Select an image by holding down the control key and then pressing on the trackpad and holding down. You should get a little menu pop out that will give you options to save the image.

     

    Also, examine the Help files on your MacBook. And search the word "trackpad".

    You do know you can right/left click with the trackpad, either by depressing the corner or using multi-finger gestures-right?

    System preferences-trackpad is where you set them.

    Pointing, clicking, and getting around

    When you move your mouse or finger on a trackpad, you control a pointer (also known as a cursor) that moves across your screen. The pointer allows you to select and interact with the various items on your screen, including selecting files, clicking buttons, dragging sliders, and so on. Sometimes the pointer may look like a hand, a crosshair, an I-beam, or another icon, depending on what you're doing and the application you're using.

     

    For example, if you're using Safari to view this webpage and move the pointer across it, notice that it turns into an I-beam when you move it over text or a text field. When you see this, you can usually interact with the text or field below it. When you move the pointer over a button or link, the pointer turns into a hand, letting you know that you can click on the item.

     

     

    Depending on what you're doing and what application you're using, your pointer (far left) may change appearances

     

    Clicking your mouse button or trackpad button once allows you to select the item that your pointer is on. In other words, if your pointer is on a file's icon, clicking once will select it. If the pointer is on a button or link, clicking once will activate it. If your pointer is on a text field, clicking once highlights the field and allows you to start typing text in it.

     

    If you want to open a file, folder, or application, click your mouse button or trackpad twice. This is known as double-clicking. In general, you'll need to double-click items if you want to open them from a Finder window or the desktop. The exception to this is opening stuff from the Dock—just click once on an icon in the Dock to open it.

    Thank you for your help.  I greatly appreciate.  I like your Apple ID.  I've heard of Northern Florida to be referred to as "the armpit of America".  Is that where you're from or curently reside?

    No, farther North in New Jersey. When I lived up in Maine for a while, the locals would kid me and say I was from "The Armpit of America". And, if you look at the map of the USA, yup, it sorta does look like that area could be America's armpit.

    Oh ok.  You make a valid point.  I was just curious.
