  • How do i save my photos from iPhoto to a back up drive?

    how do i save my photos from iPhoto to a back up drive?

    Most Simple Back Up:
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
    If you only want to back the Photos"
    File -> Export

  • How do i save a photo from iPhoto onto flash drive using new lion software

    Trying to save a photo in iphoto (using new lion software on my mac) to a flash drive.  There is no save button and can no longer just drag the photo into the drive.  Any ideas.

    You can select the thumbnail and type Command+C to copy it.  Then click on the Desktop and type Command+V to paste it.  That will get you the latest version of the photo in iPhoto.
    However, you should be able to drag the photo to the desktop.  Launch iPhoto with the Option and Command keys held down and rebuilt the library with the first and last options selected.
    Click to view full size
    If that doesn't do the trick use Disk Utility to repair disk permissions.

  • How can I save my photos in iPhoto in a CD

    I'm a newbie in using MAC and I cant seem to save the photo from iPhoto to a CD. What are the steps that I need to do in order to do this.

    To burn a CD or DVD for viewing in iPhoto:
    Select the albums, photos, or video clips you want to burn to a disc.
    Choose Share > Burn.
    Insert a CD-RW disc or a blank CD-R or DVD-R disc into your drive.
    Disc information appears at the bottom of the iPhoto viewing area. The green area on the disc icon represents the amount of disc space your photos require.
    If necessary, type a new name for the disc in the Name field.
    Click the Burn button.
    Click the Burn button in the Burn Disc window.
    It may take several minutes to burn the disc. You can cancel the burn by clicking the Stop button next to the progress bar, but if you’re using a CD-R disc, you might not be able to use the CD after canceling.

  • How do i save edited photo in iPhoto onto another folder

  • How do i view my photos from iPhoto in my finder without having to open iPhoto

    I am trying to upload my pictures into websites to order things such as customized invitations and labels, when I am prompted to select a photo from a file it goes into my finder then I proceed to click photos and the only thing that appears is the iPhoto library. If i click the iPhoto library the website freezes and I am not able to select a photo. How can I make these individual photos available to me so that I am able to select a single photo directly from my finder?

    See the first of these:
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.    3.b.
    b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • In iphoto, how do i save a photo after editing, in the same or higher file size, it's saves in a lower size

    in iphoto, how do i save a photo after editing, in the same or higher file size, it's saves in a lower size

    It's rather more complicated that this.
    iPhoto is a lossless editor. You don't lose any quality on your shot in iPhoto.
    The file size you see reported is the size of your iPhoto Preview: this is what gets used if you access the data via a media browser. It's a "good-enough-for-most-uses" version of the shot. Email it, upload to websites, use it in Presentation, Word processing file etc
    If you want to set the quality yourself then Export the photo using the File -> Export command.
    You can choose to export to Jpeg, Tiff or png. Tiff is lossless but the file sizes are up to 10 times larger. Jpeg allows you to choose different qualities: High, Medium or low. The difference is the amount of compression involved. High quality means very little compression. It's not unusual for photos exported at this setting to have a larger file size than the original.
    Which setting you choose depends on the use you intend. Further editing, printing then high is important. Sending to Facebook? Well low will do just fine there as they're going to trash the file anyway.
    But the key point: the file size only becomes an issue when you export.

  • I have alot of loose photos at home (old) and I would love to make a bunch of iphoto books and make the pages like whole page collages?  How do I get my photos into iphoto in order to do this?  Can I make a DVD at the drugstore and add them to iphoto?

    You can make the collages easily if you have iWork.  Just open a letter sized page in landscape mode and drag the photos onto the page, rotate and postiion as necessary.  Then do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save PDF to iPhoto to get a 200 dpi jpeg version of the Pages page into iPhoto.  From there you can add it to your book and use a blank page with the option to have an image as the backbround. 
    If you have a 3rd party image editor that supports layers you can create the collage with it.

  • Can't save emailed photos to iPhoto

    The computer is an iBook G3, 900 MHz, 40 GB hard drive running OS X v.10.4.11 with Mail 2 and iPhoto 2. This is a computer which I am trying to set up for a friend.
    I recently posted a similar question in the iPhoto forum thinking the problem might be with version of iPhoto that originally shipped with the iBook, but to date have received no replies. I am now wondering if it's a Mail problem rather than an iPhoto problem.
    If the computer receives an emailed photo, I get the "Save" button and if I click on it, I also get the "Add to iPhoto" option. However, if I select the "Add to iPhoto" option, nothing happens. The photo is not added to the iPhoto library.
    There is also an external 120 GB FireWire external drive associated with this computer. My niece did the original installation on the boot drive, which I believe was just an erase and install from a retail Tiger disc. I had to restore the iLife applications from the Jaguar system disc. I then came across this KB article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2475
    Thinking that was the problem, I took the external disk and did a fresh installation starting from the Jaguar system discs and then upgrading to Tiger and updating all the software. The external drive now has a full installation on it including OS 9.
    Same thing--I cannot simply save a photo to iPhoto. I also noticed that if I go to Mail>Preferences>Fonts and Colors and set preferences for larger fonts, this also does not work. However, I am able to put the magnifier in the Mail tool bar and this does work to enlarge text. This is true for both the internal and external hard drive.
    My friend is new to Macs and new to computers, so I would like to make Mail and iPhoto as simple as possible for him to use.
    We're using a GMail IMAP account if that has any bearing.
    Thanks in advance!

    I don't believe so--it's a fresh installation of the OS on both hard drives. I downloaded iStatPro and Maintidget on both drives and SMART Reporter and Smart Utility on the built in drive as well, but I wouldn't expect any of these to have anything to do with how mail works.
    It's possible I somehow made some sort of an error when I set up Mail-- I followed the GMail instructions. Not sure where to look for something like this.
    To be more specific about what I do, I click on the gray triangle to the right of "Save", and I get a drop down menu with the photos and the option of "Save to iPhoto" at the bottom of the list. I go down and click on the "Save to iPhoto" and nothing happens.
    I know the iBook G3 is doing this because I was trying to show my friend how to add emailed photos to his iPhoto library and it just doesn't work.
    I also have a different iBook G4 running Tiger, and with both iPhoto 6 and iPhoto 8, I can add emailed photos to iPhoto in this way.
    I'm wondering if I need to find my friend a newer version of iPhoto--maybe iPhoto 5. I'm wondering if iPhoto 2 is the problem--maybe this feature doesn't work on it. That's why I tried my question on the iPhoto forum first, but so far no response, and also no response to some other questions about iPhoto 2.
    Yes, I did repair permissions on both drives until there was nothing left to repair.
    Thanks for the response--I am very puzzled by this.

  • HT201317 How do I save my photo stream photos to my PC? What do I enable in my control panel?

    How do I save my photo stream photos to my PC? What do I enable in my control panel?

    You can just import them using your usb cable without buying anything, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  The iPhoto iOS app is for editing your photos, it won't import them to your PC.

  • HT2481 I have received an Email containing photos. How do I import those photos to Iphoto and then to a CD/DVD

    I have received an Email containing photos. How do I import these photos to Iphoto 8? Also, how to then move them to a CD/DVD?

    First share some information
    what version of iPhoto? What e-mail client? are the photos JPEGs with a RGB color profile?
    The most general answer is to save the photos to a desktop folder and then import them to iPhoto from there - you can right click on the desktop folder in the finder and burn it to disk

  • How can I save my photos on a removable hard drive for easy viewing?

    I just got a brand new Macbook Pro and I wanted to transfer some of the photos from my old computer over to my new computer (from a My Passport removable hard drive), but I found that this wasn't possible with how I had saved then with iPhoto.  I now have all of my photos on my new computer, but don't want to waste all that space.  How can I save the photos I don't want on this computer to my removable hard drive for easy viewing?  When I look at the removable hard drive now, it's saved altogether as iPhoto Library, so I can't just see certain ones...

    While in iphoto,hold down the command key and select all the pics you want to move. Once all the pics are selected, release the command key and select export from the file menu. Iphoto will present a dialog box where you can select the quality of the pics before exporting. Then export them to whereever you would like. If you want to put them on an external HD then select that.When you wish to view them,you can use preview or right click on any pic and choose which program to open them with.After doing this if you no longer want them in iphoto then delete them and make sure to empty the trash in iphoto after doing so.
