Are you able to upload to the UNO without the shield attached?

It sounds like you may have a short-circuit on the shield. Post photos of the front and back of the shield and we will check your assembly.

Those photos are not helpful. I need to see all of the components on the front of the board and all of the soldering on the back of the board.

I don't understand your wiring either. The shield is designed to plug directly into the Arduino as in the photo below:

Does the motor move at all? With all those jumper wires, you may have a loose connection somewhere.

The L293D chips in the shield are only rated for 0.6A motors. Read this FAQ for details on how to increase that rating: http://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=26873

Using the standard chips in the kit, 0.6A.
With modifications, up to about 2.0A. Please read this FAQ for all the details: http://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=26873

USB can only supply 500mA @5v. It is not a good idea to run motors from USB power.

For a 12v motor, you must use an external power supply. Please read theFAQ for details on how to connect the external supply: http://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=26873

I don't understand the problem you are trying to describe. If you post a diagram of your connections and the code you are using I might be able to help.
