Problems with adding a JPEG

I received an "internal error" message when I attempted to add a JPEG to my ArcGIS Online map.

Any suggestions would be appteciated.

Hi Della,

What are you trying to show with your image in your map? Images are usually either referenced in pop ups or added to features as attachments. Let us know a little more about what you are looking to accomplish.

Della,

What does the error say? Does it look something like this?

If you have taken a photo with a GPS enabled phone or camera (like you said, it has coordinates), then this photo will need to be turned into a geospatial point of some sort in order for it to added to the map. There are several ways of doing this, but first, like Kelly said, we need more info.

Kelly,

Thank you for your reply.

I was going through an online activity created by Joseph Kerski. One activity asks to take a photo outside our window and "drop" it into a box that he has created in the activity. I will find it and take a screen shot and reply again.

Adrian,

By the way, I'm a Longhorn:)

As I wrote to Kelly, I was beginning an online activity created by Joseph Kerski. One activity asks to take a photo outside our window and "drop" it into a box that he has created in the activity. I believe the error message was what you pasted in your email. I will find it and take a screen shot and reply again.

Thank you.

Here are some help topic links... Add files from your computer. If you have an organizational account, you can add images

Note:
The following file types require an organizational account to add to the website: Image (.jpg, .jpeg, .png, .tif, .tiff), iWork Keynote (.key), iWork Numbers (.numbers), iWork Pages (.pages), Microsoft Excel (.xls, .xlsx), Microsoft PowerPoint (.ppt, .pptx), Microsoft Word (.doc, .docx), PDF (.pdf), and Visio Document (.vsd).

This is the main help file link

Take care!
