Can't export in iPhoto 2.0.1

Help! I can't export my photos. I select them all, click on export and I get an error saying: "There is not enough disk space to complete that operation."
I have 56 GB free and it'll only do a few at a time.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Holy cow, I got the export to work -- I have no idea what I did or if this works for anyone, but retracing my steps....
-I deleted all photos that were in the trash both in iPhoto and in the Finder
-Just for the heck of it, I tried some of the other exporting options to see how they work. (I'm a relatively infrequent user of iPhoo, hence my still working with version 2.0.1) I exported a few photos to see how the quicktime slideshow works...then I exported for web viewing. Both worked fine. Then I exported the photos...fullsize images...original format...use filename...use extention....and it worked!
It was almost as if doing the other exports somehow fixed the issue in the finder where I kept getting the duplicate photo message which forced me to try the drag and drop method which also didn't work (see above posts).
One downside: The export does not preserve the original dates fo import from my camera....bummer....I really like the chronological way iPhoto lets me view my photos...without that, in my newly created "iPhoto export" folder I have to do lots of guessing as to when particular pictures were taken.
Again, *your mileage may vary* -- I have no idea what (if any) effect the above had for me. But maybe this will help someone...somewhere.

Can I export an iPhoto album as thumbnails?

Let's say I have an iPhoto album of 200 jpeg pictures. When I highlight the album in the left sidebar of the iPhoto page, all the pictures display as thumbnails. I want to remove the pictures from iPhoto and put them on a DVD or CD-R. This is no problem, but the pictures are then displayed as generic jpeg icons with the cryptic digital camera picture designations such as IMG_0285.JPG. This makes it extremely laborious finding a particular picture. Is there any way that the pictures can be exported/saved/downloaded to a removable medium so that the thumbnails will be displayed instead of the jpeg icons? Thanks.

I know what reboot means. I just don't know what "see if you can the preference change to jump start" means.
I tried to follow your instructions, but I must have done something wrong. I got this icon with the Show Icon Preview turned on:
And I got this with the Show Icon Preview turned off:
I had the options of saving the TextEdit document as a "Rich Text Format", "HTML", Word Format" or "Word XML Format". I took the default one, the first one. I saw no option to save as a ".txt" as you did.

Can't export from iphoto '11 to facebook with facebook exporter

Help!
I've been trying to export photos from iPhoto '11 (Version 9.2.1) without success. I am running OS X (10.6.8). This is the error message I keep seeing, no matter which way I attempt to make a connection (through the 'Accounts' window in Preferences, or through the 'Share' tab when I select a photo to export).
Here are the following steps I have taken, without any success:
Changed my Facebook password.
Logged out of Facebook.
Downloaded and installed the 'Facebook Exporter for iPhoto' plugin from Facebook; alhtough this is suspect, since here's the most recent comment from Facebook on this plugin:
The home for the Facebook Exporter for iPhoto - athttp://developers.facebook.com /iphoto/ - is temporarily down, as we build out a new version of it. In the meantime, you can download the application from this profile page, using the button at the left. Happy photo sharing!

Re-booted my Mac after installing the plugin.
Verified that the plugin is actually on my hard drive.
Searched Google and Apple Support for help, but here I am...
I really don't like Facebook, so maybe this the final hint that I should just give it up...

Use Apple mail - set in the iPhoto preferences

How can i export an iphoto slideshow to quicktime?

I know how to do this. But its not working!! I have a 33 picture slideshow w music that I want to export to a quicktime movie. So I did this and I have a quicktime .mov file created. However when I launch it in Quicktime, Quicktime opens for a moment and then quits out. It announces an error message: The application Quicktime Player quit unexpectedly. The problem may have been caused by the 3ivxVideoCodec plug-in. Huh? What is that? All I want to do is put this Quicktime video on a dvd disk and give someone a copy to watch at home. Thats all.... help...

There are QuickTime folders at
HD/Library
And
HD/System/Library
Is it in one of those? If so, drag it to the desktop and restart your Mac.
Why? Because it's causing the problem...

Can't export photos since upgrading to 10.5.3

I don't know if these two things are related or not, but I upgraded to 10.5.3 a week or two ago and now I can't export any iPhoto pictures. When I try to save the new exported file the dialog says "unable to create /folder/photo name"
I tried Batchmod on the iPhoto Library as suggested in another thread but still no success.
Any tips would be appreciated.

Nevermind, I realized the folder I was saving TO was locked.

When I open an event, including flagged items, the photos appear one by one, not as thumbnails, so I can't export more than one phot at a time. How do I get iPhoto to show the thumbnails?

I've tried rebuilding the thumbnail database, but that hasn't helped.

What version of iPhoto and system are you running?
Try moving the Zoom slider at the bottom of the iPhoto window all the way to the left. Does that let more than one photo display in the window?

How can I export a RAW photo from iphoto to anywhere without it changing into a jpg?

How can I export a RAW photo from iphoto to anywhere (PSE, or desktop) without it changing into a jpg???

See if any of this info will help:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
Click to view full size
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 3 - however, if you get the navigation window
Click to view full size
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
Click to view full size
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Click to view full size
NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds.

How can I export a slideshow from iPhoto to iMovie 09. I try but it only lets me import 211 out of the 311 photos I have in the slideshow.

How can I export a slideshow from iPhoto to iMovie 09. I try, but it only exports 211 out of the 311 photos I have in the slideshow I made on iPhoto.

how do i change the format to the right one?
Before you can decide what to do, you have to know what you are starting with. Sony MPEG-1 files would be converted one way while DivX or WMV files would likely be handled in another. Extraneous tracks can be removed directly with QT Pro but if you don't have QT Pro then there may or may not be other work around possibilities depending on the specific audio and video compression formats in use. The best place to start would normally be to double-clic the source file in iPhoto to open it in the QT Player. When it opens in the QT Player, check the "Inspector" window to see what it says on the "Format:" lines. This will tell you the type of audio and video content you are dealing with here. Then come and tell us so we can offer some specific conversion solutions.

Are you running Snow Leopard or Lion? Your info says Snow Leopard. If it's lion then:
In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
Then you can locate the folders mentioned.

I can export many iphoto events to a Data stick. I want to do the same with a DVD. When I do the DVD window is blank. If I drag and drop can only do one. Help

I can "export", using file, many iphoto events to a data disk. When I do the same to a DVD the DVD window is blank and nothing has been exported. When I use drag and drop to a DVD it works but I can only get one event on the disk. How do I export many iphoto events to a DVD. I am using a write only DVD. I am using a Mac Book Pro OS 10. Thanks in advance.
Gord

When I click on the data stick icon on my desk top a window comes up. It lists the various events that I have exported. If i click on an event each picture shows up in a list. I can click on the picture and view a jpeg photo or view a avi video. When I export I select "original" as the file type. When I export to a DVD and klick on the the DVD icon the window shows up but it is blank.

IPhoto '11 can't export

Recently I've been having a couple problems using iPhoto '11, version 9.1.3 (607).
I am routinely taking photos (JPG) and putting them into iPhoto. I'm right-clicking in iPhoto and knocking out backgrounds in Photoshop CS3 (my default external editor). I'm then copying that file, now a .psd file, back into iPhoto. Here's where the problem starts. Now I want to edit the psd file so I right-click on the file and click on "edit in external editor". It switches over to Photoshop and get an error that reads "Could not complete your request because an unknown or invalid JPEG marker type is found".
I'm also having a problem exporting some files with iPhoto giving an error that it can't create the file on the volume. I've tried various volumes but it will always give the error. When I take the picture out that it errors-out on, and export again, iPhoto will continue to export until it hits another photo. As far as I can tell there is nothing different about the files that throw up the error.
I'd really like to revert back to my older version of iPhoto. iPhoto '11 has some nice features but it seems a bit buggy.
Thanks, Dan

I have a workaround for the JPEG marker type problem when one is editing TIFF files. The principle should work for other types stored in iPhoto as well. The underlying problem is that iPhoto is renaming your TIFF (or whatever) image as a JPEG - that is, if your image is called "foo.tif" it's making a copy of it called "foo.jpg" but the contents are still in TIFF format. Thus Photoshop gets confused when opening it - it believes it to be a jpeg image but can't read it as such.
My solution is to write a short applescript that invokes Photoshop on the image but tells Photoshop that the image is in fact a tiff image. Then you tell iPhoto that this script is your photo editor (instead of Photoshop).
Here's the script for CS5. (There are reports that CS5 handles the file argument differently from other programs or versions, so if you get a problem there you'd have to adjust the script accordingly). Paste it into the Applescript Editor, save it out as a an application (don't check any of the options in the save dialog), and then go to iPhoto preferences to choose this instead of Photoshop as your image editor. A better script would figure out more thoroughly what kind of file this was and tell Photoshop to open it as such.
on run
          set thefile to choose file with prompt "Choose a file to edit as tiff..."
openInPs(thefile)
end run
on open filelist
          repeat with thefile in filelist
openInPs(thefile)
          end repeat
end open
on openInPs(thefile)
          tell application "Finder"
                    set thename to thefile as string -- save away the name in a form CS5 understands
                    set inname to quoted form of (POSIX path of thefile) -- and in a form that Unix shell understands
                    set mycommand to "file " & inname & "| grep -q TIFF" -- shell: grep for the word TIFF in the description of this file
                    try
do shell script mycommand -- run the shell script.
                              tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS5" -- if the word TIFF was found, open as TIFF
open alias thename as TIFF
                              end tell
                    on error -- if the word TIFF was not found, we end up here
                              tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS5" -- and just try opening the file with no "as" option
open alias thename
                              end tell
                    end try
          end tell
end openInPs

I have finally figured out how to export an iphoto album so that I can maintain the proper order of the photos after burning the file. How do I keep each individual photo title and description after exporting and burning?

I have finally figured out how to export an iphoto album so that I can maintain the proper order of the photos after burning the file. How do I keep each individual photo title and description after exporting and burning? Presently after exporting and burning each photo is identified by the file name rather than each individual title description.

File name and Title are not the same thing.
Filename is attached to the Jpeg file in the Finder.
Title is attached to the photo within the Jpeg file - as is the description. These are written to the Exif and IPTC metadata on export.
So: File -> Export. Kind: Jpeg or Tiff and Check the box at 'Title and Keywords'. This will write the Title, keywords and descriptions (though not explicitly stated) to the metadata. This can then be viewed in any app that understand this material.
You can choose, if you wish, to also use the Title as a Filename - that's an option at File Name
