How can I drag multiple photos into a new iPhoto library from search box?

I lost but found my list of photos that were in my iPhoto library. I am unable to drag more than one photo at a time from the search box into the new iPhoto library box. Am I doing something wrong or do I have to drag one at a time? (That would take hours.) Please help if you can!
Thanks,
Laure

Roam,
Thanks again. I know how to highlight and drag multiple photos or a list of files, but the only place I found my list was by going to Finder>File>Find then a dialogue box comes up. In the dialogue box I put in iPhoto and checked that then put in "kind" "is" "image" and "size" "is greater than" "30" KB. When I click search, the entire list from my library comes up but that is when I am unable to drag more than one file at a time. The box that comes up when I search isn't (at least I don't think it is) a "folder" as such. Any suggesttions?

  • How can I drag multiple photos from iPhoto into a Word Document

    I'm creating a collage of photos for a friend and in order to get the photos to the right size and print them without trouble I need to drag all of the photos from a certain album in iPhoto into an empty word document. Is there a way to do this? If not, why not?

    It's best to drag one photo at a time from the open iPhoto window into the open Word document window.  Resize the photo.  Then drag the next one and resize.
    If you have iWork a better solution is to use Pages.  That way you can resize the drag the photos into any location on page, even overlapping other photos, whereas in Word it has to be on a separate line or small enought to fit two on a line. You can access the iPhoto Library from the Media Browser in Pages without iPhoto  having to be open.

  • How can I drag a photo into a contact in Mountain Lion Contacts?

    I used to be able to go to a person's web site and drag his/her picture into a contact in AddressBook. In Mountain Lion it AddressBook is now called Contacts. When creating a new contact, the picture field still shows up, and dragging a photo (in this case a jpg from a web page) into the field still shows the green plus sign. But then nothing happens. Clicking on the picture field just reveals the same dialogue as the one when creating ones own picture/icon.
    Looks like a bug.

    Thanks, that helped. It turns out dragging a web picture to Mail and then to Contacts also woks. I guess my question becomes then, why is it not possible to directly drag a picture into Contacts -- like it used to be?
    Also, all contact pictures are now also getting entered into the list of "Recents" across all contacts, including my own, and including "Recents" when selecting an account picture.
    That's clearly broken compared to how it used to be in Lion where there was a distinction of (recent) pictures for oneself and pictures for other contacts.

  • Can I 'copy' albums, or photos, into a new iPhoto library??

    I am doing an iPhoto library rebuild after my iPhoto editing tool stopped working.  A quick test of a new library has solved this issue, but the rebuild of the original library is taking ages and I'm concerned this will not work. So far it's been nearly 25 minutes. 
    iPhoto quickly generated this message:
    Rebuilding Library: 1974 versions restored
    But it continues to 'work'.  I don't have too many photos yet, but am traveling in Gautemala and so am looking for the quickest and easiest way to get my old library photos into the new, working one.  It won't take me very long to re-create albums or anything, so this I am unconcerned about.  I simply wish to get the photos from my original library, including the ones I edited/cropped/enhanced, into my new one that has a functioning editing tool....
    Is there any way to do this simply?  Can I just copy the pictures into the new library?  I've read/heard that 'importing' will not work.  If importing simply destroys the organization of the library, I don't mind.  At this point, I simply want my photos as they are now...
    Cheers!  Thanks in advance...

    Thanks for your response...
    In other words, by 'changes', you mean none of my editing will be brought over??  If I want to re-crop images, etc, I will have to do so?
    Also...I'm fairly new to Mac.  What exactly do you mean by restoring my backup to see if that fixed my editing problems?  Unless there is some application that automatically backs up everything in my library somewhere, I actually have been unable to back anything up yet (another issue, another story, you can see my other posts today!).
    Thanks again in advance....

  • How can i add multiple photos to an imovie at once from my ipad?

    I am trying to create an imovie of photos that I have stored on my ipad using my ipad. It is only letting me add one photo at a time which is taking way too long. Is there a way to add multiple photos at once? Also, can I apply changes (like removing the Ken Burns effect all at once from all of the pictures? Hopefully I dont have to do it one at a time or it will take waay too long!
    thanks

  • How do I import or move multiple selected photos to an existing album in iPhoto 9.6? In previous versions I could select and drag multiple photos into an album. Now I can only move one photo at a time. Help!

    How do I import or move multiple selected photos to an existing album in iPhoto 9.6? In previous versions I could select and drag multiple photos into an album. Now I can only move one photo at a time. Help!

    Try this general troubleshooting procedure:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete the contents the following folder: User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

  • I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong.  How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

    I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong.  How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

    If I understand you correctly, when you enter a date in the Adjust Date and Time window, the picture does not update with the date you enter.  If that is the case then something is wrong with iPhoto or your perhaps your library.
    How large a date change are you putting in?  iPhoto currently has an issue with date changes beyond about 60 years at a time.  If the difference between the current date on the image and the date you are entering is beyond that range that may explain why this is not working.
    If that is not the case:
    Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.iphoto
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iPhoto (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)
    ---NOTE: to get to the "home > library" hold down option on the keyboard and click on "Go" > "Library" while in the Finder.
    Let me know the results.

  • How can I send multiple photos in an email?

    How can I send multiple photos in an email?

    In Photos, when looking at your pictures, click the Action arrow first (upper right), before selecting any pictures.  Then you can tap select the pictures you want to send then click "Share" in the upper left.  From there you can Email.
    If you click and open one picture first, the Action button will only allow you to share that one picture.
    (Yeah, took me a while to figure this out. )

    How can I drag a photo to the desktop

    Assuming you are using iPhoto....
    You want to select the event that has the photo in it then click once on the photo so it is highlighted with a yellow ring around it and then click and drag it to the desktop.
    If you are finding it difficult to move the file that way you can select the picture in iPhoto and select
    File > Export (Command + Shift + E) and select how you want to export it (format) and where you want to put it .
    Hopefully this helps you.
