How do I transfer photos from my mac mini to my external hard drive without iPhoto?

I am trying to get my already downloaded onto my mac photos onto my external hard drive but my computer will not alow me to.
Any Help?

I've been trying to do the same myself, want to move pictures from my new iMac to my new Macbook Air, made the switch big time!   I thought that a Mac was famous for ease of use.   Plug in passport usb portable, find it in the finder, open another finder winder, try to drag photo library over..... nope.    Open the Iphoto program, edit, select all, drag to passport...... nope.  Extremely frustrating.  On a PC it would be done in minutes or less.  Either my head is in the wrong place or I'm missing something.   GGRRRRRRR     Any help would be appreciated before they both go back in their boxes and I pull the PC back out of the closet.   LOL

    Just the Photos? Or the Library?
    If it's the Library:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

    How can I transfer photos from my mac to my ipad?

    If you are have iTunes 11 on your Mac then you may want to re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (option-command-S on a Mac), which might make it easier to navigate.
    To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes, and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders (or iPhoto ro Aperture albums) to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad (unless you want to remove all synced photos), instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.

    How can I transfer photos from my Mac Book Pro to my windows computer.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Transfer them to an external disk formatted in "MS-DOS (FAT)" with Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html
    If you have the pictures in iPhoto, choose them with the Command key, go to File menu (on the menu bar) > Export, and copy them to the external disk. Then, connect your external disk to the PC and move them.
    If you have the pictures in Finder, steps are the same, but in this case, you will have to drag the pictures you chose to the external disk that you can find in the Finder sidebar, under "Devices"

    Normally you should be able to drag and drop them onto the drive, provided the drive is Mac formatted. Have you already tried that?

  • Mac mini as an external hard drive

    Can I use a mac mini as an external hard drive? if i can how do I make the connection?

    You would restart the mini while holding down the T key on the attached keyboard. This puts the mini into Firewire target mode. Assuming the mini is attached to a monitor, you will see a moving Firewire logo on the screen indicating the mini is in target mode.
    From there, all you have to do is plug it into the FW port on a second computer and it will look just like a hard drive to the other computer.
