There are two clauses in each sentence, with a verb of volition in the primary clause. This means that the secondary clause must be cast in the subjunctive mood. This explains most of the corrections given by chileno.

No, no significan lo mismo.

Cuando hay dos verbos en la misma oración y uno está en infinitivo, el sujeto que realiza la acción de los dos verbos es el mismo.
Quiero = yo => ver = yo

Si el segundo verbo está en subjuntivo, el sujeto debe ser diferente para cada verbo:
Quiero = yo ; veas = tú

thanks, the meaning I was trying to convey was "I want you to see my photos", I put it in Google translate and it gave me "Quiero ver a mis fotos" which I thought was not right

Please do not use electronic/online translators. If anything, use them as dictionaries. In other words, look word by word, and let your head assemble the phrase. You might be surprised at what your head can do.
