Can not copy pictures from my library to folders I created

I have a lot of pictures in my Library - I only have one Library - the default.
Now I want to organize many/not all of the pictures in my library to specific folders/labeled to match the pictures.
I created some new folders that are labeled - then are not sub folders under the Library.
What I do is --- while I'm in the Library, I click 1x on the picture, copy - then I click on the specific folder, paste. The picture does not appear in my folder.
Would someone tell me what I'm going wrong - how to copy pictures from my Library to specific folders ?
Also --- I do backup my Library to an external drive, when I eventually get pictures in specific folders in iPhoto --- I must now choose those specific folders to backup in addition to my Library ? I use the backup software from OS X 10.6.x to run my backup's to external disk.
Thanks,
Bob

Now I want to organize many/not all of the pictures in my library to specific folders/labeled to match the pictures.
The easiest way to do this is using iPhoto - select the photos and export them (file menu==> export) to the folder you want
I created some new folders that are labeled - then are not sub folders under the Library.

This is not recommended -if you continue messing around inside the iPhoto library it is likely that you will change or move something and corrupt your library

Use the export command

Backup will backup exactly what you tell it to - only you know and have access to those settings

    For windows pc's Photo albums:
    1) Create a master sync folder on your pc with no photo files at the root level of the folder.
    2) Create sub-folders within the master sync folder with the subfolders named what you want the ipad's photo albums to be named.
    3) Place the photo files you want to sync in the appropriate subfolder within the master sync folder.
    4) In itunes on the photos tab, select the master folder as the sync folder.
    5) After syncing, each subfolder will be an album on the ipad with the proper photos contained there-in.

    Delete them the same way you put them there.  The sync process.  Deselectg the album in itunes and sync.
    Photo Album contains ALL synced photos and you can also view those exact same photos, not duplicates, from the albums.

  • How can I copy pictures from my iPad to my windows laptop

    HHow can I copy pictures from my iPad to my windows laptop

    If they were taken with the iPad, simply plug in the iPad, and it should appear as a regular digital camera in Windows Explorer or in Control Panel/Devices and Printers.
    You can then either use the Scanner and Camera Wizard, or simply open the DCIM folder and drag the pictures to which ever folder you want them in,

  • How can i copy songs from another library to my itunes library with homesharing?

    How can i copy songs from another library to my itunes library with homesharing?  I see the other libraries, but cannot drag the songs into my library.  The help window says to use the "show menu" at the bottom, but I don't have that menu with itunes 11.

    You can do this in 2 ways.
    1) You can enable the sidebar and you can drag and drop like you used to be able to.  To turn on Sidebar in iTunes 11, go to View > Show Sidebar
    2) Another way is to connect to your Home Share from the drop-down menu from the left (where it says Music) and select your Home Share.  Once you are connected to your Home Share, select Music and you should see a button that says "All Items" and on the right, you should see the Import button.  To copy, select the songs you want to import and then click on Import.

    How can I copy pictures from my computer to my SX50 so I can show them from the camera?

    I know this is an older thread, but FWIW you should be able to open up My Computer in Windows, locate your memory card there, then either drag and drop and/or copy and paste images from your computer's hard drive onto the memory card.

  • Can not transfer pictures from iPhoto on my MacBook Air to any of my devices via airdrop.

    Can not transfer pictures from iPhoto on my MacBook Air to any of my devices via airdrop.
    I have a new iPad Air 2 and a iPhone 5 all running the newest updates and IOS,OS X.
    I can airdrop from my iPhone to iPad and vice versa.  But iPhoto on my macbook air does not give me the option via share to airdrop any of my pictures to my phone or ipad.

    My MacBook air is a mid 2012. When I go to finder then airdrop it shows me
    my iPad and my iPhone but when I go to iPhoto on my MacBook air it doesn't
    give me the option to airdrop pictures to them. Not sure why.

  • Can not copy text from AI CC or AI6 in to the file name

    I have an AI file with 80+ UPC codes that I need to separate in to individual files. Each UPC has a descriptor but when I copy the text and then try to paste it as file name it will not paste. I use this same process regularly in InDesign when I design print ads. Each print ad has a unique item number that prints with the copyright line so I simply copy and paste that information when I do the save.
    Under File Handling and Clipboard both PDF and AICB are on. I've tried this in AICC and AICS6. I also tried different files. Same issue. Any suggestions? I really don't want to have to type 80 some descriptions which are very lengthy. 

    I can not copy the text from Illustrator in to any OS X application/function (filename, Mail, Text Edit, ect). I can copy in to InDesign, Photoshop, Flash, and other other Adobe product. I can copy in to Word as well. I guess my work around will be Word.
    And the opposite is true. I can copy text from any other Adobe application to any OS X application/function with no issues.
    I guess my work around will be to OCR the text from Acrobat and open in Word. The descriptors have to be 100% accurate and some of them are pretty long.

  • I can not send pictures from photo via my OUTLOOK for IMAC

    I just installed Photo  as part of the New OS Yosimete and now I cant send pictures from the library via my OUTLOOK for IMAC

    I've opened up a enhancement request with Apple. Photos is not ready for prime time in my opinion. I've tried to work around this issue by trying to attach a photo in Outlook, but the Photos media browser (which worked fine with iPhoto) does not work at all, either. Both of these features work fine when you're using Apple's Mail application. So it's either Microsoft doesn't support the new Photos, or Apple doesn't support Outlook.

  • Can't copy pictures from NOKIA SUITE to my phone!!...

    I cant'copy pictures from Nokia suite to my phone n8, 
    any ADVICE , i need help because i need those photos.

    Simplest way is to connect in madd storage mode instead of pc suite mode via usb and drag and drop, the phone will show as an external hd in 'My Computer' simply open the drive and drag photos from computer to N8, drag and drop is by far the easiest and quickest way to transfer all media to a Symbian phone !

    Does anybody know what cause the problem and how to fix it? The current walkaround is to convert the pdf into image, then load the image into acrobat and perform OCR. But this is tedious and some information may be lost. I'm wondering if there is a better solution.

  • I can not import pictures from iPad into Aperture

    I have an iPad 1, latest iOS. I shoot Nikon RAW files that I import unsingh the camera connector kit (CCK). I use Aperture, again latest version. All of that in OS X latest and greatest on an iMac (March 2009).
    I simply can not import pics from the iPad onto Aperture.
    AP3 does see the iPad when I go in import mode (CMD I) and does see all my pics (just came back from vacation with 3000+).
    Importing All starts the process, the import wheel spins, but the nothing happens . If I double click on the "Importing..." message to see the scheduled tasks, I do see that a number of importing tasks are scheduled.
    However, no progress is ever made.
    Any ideas?
