Copying photos in iPhoto to a CD-R disc

Hi: Can someone tell me how to copy photos that I took and have in my iPhoto program to a disc. I put a CD-R disc in the computer and instructed it to burn the "event" that I wanted to the disc. It seemed to work and then during the verification of the burned disc a "Verification Failed" notice came up. Any help would be great.
Thank you.

Sounds like a bad CD - try again
What are you trying to accomplish? It sounds like you are using the Share ==> burn command in iPhoto - this will produce a mini iPhoto library intended to be opened in iPhoto
If you want a general purpose set of photos to take to a photo printer or give to someone with an inferior non Apple computer you should export the photos to a folder and burn that folder to CD

  • Copying photos from iPhotos to an external hard drive, changes the dates the photo was created

    I have the odd query where when I copy photos from iPhoto in to any other folder, whether it's on the mac deskstop or an external hard drive, that the 'date created' on the some of the photos is changed from the date the photo was actually taken to some random date. This is sometimes the date that I move the photos and sometime a date seemingly randomly selected between the date when the photo was taken and then date I copied the photos.
    It doesn't make a different if I copy or cut and paste each file, and if I select all photos from a single event and copy then all in one go, some photos keep the correct data and others don't.
    Most of these photo of of my baby, so the exact date take is very important ofr reference. Current I have a 100 odd photos taken over a few weeks all with the same 'created date'. I have no idea if she was 10 week or 20 weeks old at the time.
    Any ideas? It's really frustrating me.

    No
    iPhoto never does anything with a photo that is not in its library
    Although it does not affect this do you have a default managed library or a (strongly not recommedned) referenced library - (The iPhoto advanced preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library" has been unchecked) which is strongly NOT recommended.

  • Problems Copying Photos in iPhoto to Folder on Desktop

    I am trying to copy photos that are in iPhoto to a folder on my desktop. I have just tried to copy & paste but I keep getting the error message "The items on the Clipboard can't be pasted to this location. One or more of thw items may have been deleted or are no longer available." Most of the photos were transfered from my old mac to the new one via external hard drive, could that be where the problem lies? Please help!

    Sorry - got versions confused - under the file menu in '11 - "reveal in finder"
    I suspect that your original photo is missing in action
    if the reveal in finder does not show the original right click on teh iPhoto library package and show package contents - look (Make no changes) in the masters folder and see if the photo that we tested is there

  • The problem with copying photos from iPhoto...

I do a lot and often edit the photos using iPhoto, and then copy the finished photos on removable media. After the procedure, Copy - Paste is that the images recorded on a media without correction. Please understand this situation, so how to use iPhoto with this error then I can not.

    File is saved in JPEG, but the photo was not taken into iPhoto adjustments.

  • Can't copy photos from iPhoto backup DVD - Privileges Problem

    I have created several DVD backups of photos from iPhoto, but when I open the DVDs and try to copy and paste photos it says that I can't because I don't have sufficient privileges. I know about the possibility of clicking on the "sharing and permissions" and "Ignoring ownership on this volume" tabs from the get info section, but it is not possible for me as the DVD's info comes up with that area translucent, thus I can see those options but have no possibility of choosing any of them in "sharing and permissions".
    Does anyone know a way to overcome this?
    Does this mean I have to do something like use SUDO commands or something else complicated just to copy and paste photos from DVDs???
    Is there not an option to make backup DVDs on iPhoto which are copyable?
    Why would anyone backup photos so that they can't be accessed to copy and paste?
    Thank you

    If you made the Back Ups with iPhoto's Share -> Burn command then when you insert the Disk into the Mac it will appear in the iPhoto Window. Drag the Events from the Disk to the Library heading in the iPhoto Window to restore them.

  • Copying photos from iPhoto to desktop-error

    I'm trying to save or drag photos from iPhoto to the desktop or hard drive but it won't let me. I get the circle with a line through it. When I try exporting the photos to the desktop I get an error message that says, "Unable to create users/myharddrivename/desktop." Some photos copy over but some don't. Is there a way to just access the main iPhoto library and grab them all? This is an old machine, so I don' t think it works like the new versions of iPhoto. I can't see any folders anywhere under my user or library. Any insights?

    iPhoto uses a "libraries" paradigm and essentially hides your photos in "packages" which no other applications can access, including Apple's own Finder.
    If you let iPhoto touch your photos, it took them over and you can now only access them through the Export function inside iPhoto.  You cannot use the Finder to drag-copy them.
    (iPhoto is the first thing I customarily delete from any and all new Mac OS installs.)

  • How do I copy photos from iphoto to an sd card. Copy doesn't work and export doesn't work.

    I have tried to copy photos to an SD drive on my macbook pro from iphoto. Copy does not work and I get an error when I try export. Can this be done?

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what happens when you try to drag and drop from the Finder? Any messages?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

  • Copying photos from IPhoto to File Folders

    After I rename a photo in iPhoto, I drag it and/or copy it to a an external HD to archive. Problem is: the caption does not copy over. Instead, the original DSCNxxxx number transfers. Does anyone know how I can transfer everything?

    Use the file -> export command. In the resulting dialogue you have losts of options, including writing the metadata to the file.
    the caption does not copy over. Instead, the original DSCNxxxx number transfers.
    That's not the caption, it's the filename. Check out the options to use the +Title as filename+ on the Export dialogue.
    FWIW: While this does back up your photos it's not a back up of your Library and you will suffer dataloss with out one.

  • Can you move photos from iphoto to a cd-r disc

    Can you move photos from iphoto onto a blank CD-R disc? If so, how?

    Take the photos you want to burn from iPhoto and put them in a folder on your desktop. Then, insert a blank CD and drag the photos onto the CD icon. Wait for them to finish uploading onto the disk and eject it. Insert it again just to see if this works; double click on the CD icon and ypu should see the same folder, with all of your photos in it. Hope this helps.

  • Cannot copy photos from iPhoto to iPod Nano

    Hello all,
    This is my first post so please be gentle!
    I have just purchased a new Nano. Everything works fine and dandy apart from viewing photos.
    I have set up the Nano via iTunes to copy (sync) all photos. iTunes then optimises the photos and states it has copied them to the Nano. When I view them on the Nano they are not there. I have changed the amount I copy (sync?) from one folder to the whole lot with no effect.
    Am I doing anything wrong.
    How much free space do I need in the first place?
    What size does iTunes reduce the photos to?
    Please help me!
    iMac G5 iSight 20" 2.1Ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    I'm not sure what's going on, but something you might want to try is to make an album in iPhoto with only three or four photos, and then set the iPod to only sync with that album. That should at least let you know if the feature works, and then you can play with sizes, etc. Also, you might want to make sure you have installed any available updates for your iPhoto, just to play it safe.

  • Hard time copying photos from iphoto to external hard drive

    Sorry this is so long, and perhaps unclear, but I would like to copy my photos from my iphoto library onto an external hard drive. The problem is that every time I try and copy the whole library, it finds a picture that crashes the whole effort. I then tried exporting Event by Event to the hard drive, and that worked for a while, but then after about 10 of them it stopped working: about 50 photos into each Event it tells me that it cannot create the volume on the hard drive. Do you think it's a problem with the hard drive?
    I have tens of thousands of photos, and this is taking forever, since every way I try to do it starts but never finishes, and I am never sure what actually has transfered.
    I also have opened the iphoto library and copied the originals, the modified, AND the data files, but that takes forever too, and I'm never sure if I really have everything. I'd like to copy event by event if possible... and I do not want my iPhoto library to live only on the hard drive, since I use it as a back up and not permanently attached. any ideas?
    Thanks so much!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    The problem is that every time I try and copy the whole library, it finds a picture that crashes the whole effort.
    Why does the pic do this? Is it a corrupt file? Or is it a missing file?
    but then after about 10 of them it stopped working: about 50 photos into each Event it tells me that it cannot create the volume on the hard drive. Do you think it's a problem with the hard drive?
    No, that message usually means that iPhoto cannot find the actual photo being copied.
    Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). A Finder Window should open with the file selected. Does it?

  • How to copy photos in iPhoto to dropbox?

    I have been struggling all night to try and copy some photo's in IPhoto over to Dropbox but the JPG files are not showing up in my finder???
    And when I go to try and expand my IPhoto library it opens Iphoto.
    How can I copy or move the photo's to another location???
    Gwen

    Sorry but that makes no sense  --  if you "copied" the library then the copy is the same as the original
    You should NEVER be going inside of the iPhoto library and looking or changing the files or structure - there is never a ned to do so and any change no matter how small can corrupt your library and cause loss of data
    There is no importing involved - you simply copy the library over to the pictures folder of the new computer and launch iPhoto - very simple and eash
    Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

  • Accessing/copying photos in iPhoto

    I am so frustrated!!!!  I am trying to copy and paste photos that I have uploaded from my iPhone 4S (7.1.2) to my Macbook Pro (10.9.4) using iPhoto (8.1.2).  My iPhoto app came with my Mac.  I just tried to upgrade to the latest in the Apple Store but for some reason it would not offer me that option despite all efforts and coming at it from various directions.  I got to where it looks like I should be able to and then no options available - so I don't know if this is a version issue or not.  But I don't think it is.
    I am trying to send photos as attachments to Gmail emails.  I can send emails with photos still on my phone but I don't want to type everything on my phone.  I can send individual photos using share and the Mac "Mail" but I don't use that for anything and don't want to.  I just want to be able to find, copy, and attach photos I have imported from my phone to my Mac.  They are not visible using Finder, at least with the "IMG_0xxx" photo id that is in iPhoto.  I have tried to go into various folders and the iPhoto library but no joy.  I just can't seem to find them. 
    Must be something simple if I have just missed it, or, based on my recent last two years of love/hate/despise relationship with all things Apple, it may not in fact be possible.  I try to just up to date on software versions but each one seems to break more things than it fixes.
    Any advice help is appreciated.

    Terence - thanks for your kind words about how I don't get it.  I am not trying, nor do I want to be forced, to use iPhoto to send my photos via an application OR service I prefer not to use.  If that is the only way to do so, then it is my decision to accept that or not, and indeed, stop using it.  But I paid for it and I prefer that it play nice with the rest of the world.  I understand why it is easier to develop a set of compimentary software (whether it is a service running an application on a server or as an application running on my Mac) in a closed system way. Your terminoloty of "service" and "application" are not universally accepted and not widely used by all the users out there.  I have bona fides as system designer and developer but I won't assume that would make any difference to smug people out there and was there when the client/server model was initially developed and since turned into to server-based iCloud-type database services.  BTW I don't like having my sensitive personal info on a machine I can't lock up for myself but I am just paranoid and naive.   But I am fine being able to copy and access my photos with other applications that run on my personal Mac, and also to use the "service" that Gmail provides running their application via a client/server model.  I don't like Apple changing the rules to force me to use iCloud as a service to replace my Contacts application running on my iPhone and Mac.  Sure it is handy to have iCloud do that but I would prefer to have the option to keep local control of my contacts and calendar and there was no reason for Apple to force me to use iCloud except for other business reasons that benefit them more than it does me.
    I did thank you for providing me the info to allow me to do exactly what I wanted to do.  I don't find iPhoto to be either intuitive nor well documented which is why there are people like you out there that have fun helping ignorant people like me to ask questions for answers that should be provided by iPhoto documentation.  I did spend over an hour trying to find the answers you gave me and only came here as a last resort.  Believe me, it is not fun to have to do that with everything Apple (and Microsoft, et al).  One of my hats in previous jobs was to manage the documentation process for far more arcane software than this.  The standard was that a user should be able to understand how the software works without jumping through hoops like going to a support group to be put down by those who have the time to sort all this out full time (or during the other time that other people use to have a life).
    I am used to using Gmail, and Outlook before that, and Yahoo before that.....  I am not a power user.  I don't want or care to.  I use iPhoto because it is what came with my Mac and what works with my iPhone.  It is a very closed architecture and this is not the only frustration I have had with this model, especially with the lack of complete support for the products.  I won't bore you with the wide and numerous problems people smarter than me have had with Apple products.  And in any case, swearing at software is a long and distinguished process.  I am not the first and not the last.  At least I was only thanking you for your help rather than swearing at you.  I don't appreciate your condescending attitude for poor schmucks like me though.
    Old Toad, regarding your advice, I actually have done and abandoned using Mail to go through my Gmail account.  I don't really care for two layers of software trying to do something simple like this.  And why should I?  Mail may be an application rather than a service but from a user interface point of view they look and feel the same and you have to follow their rules of the application or service design.  Gmail is not a perfect service but at least I know how to use it for my email.  I don't really want to have to use Mail in additon, especially when I can access the Gmail service on any platform I happened to have to use at the moment. Mail is limited to my Mac since it is a Mac only application (I'm sure you will correct me if I am wrong on that).  To each his/her own though.  I do appreciate that you guys did help me and that I have the options to use the systems (whether as a service and/or application) in a way that best suits my skills and preference.  I won't knock how you prefer to do your mail and photos.  It is just not what I want to do if given the option.  BTW - I have several reasons to wean myself away from the "service" that Google provides but that is not an Apple application issue.

  • Is there a way to copy photos to iphoto library AFTER they are imported?

    Hi!
    When I switch from PC to Mac I was reluctant to let iphoto manage my photos. After becoming a HUGE fan of the mac (iphone etc!) I decided I was ready to let go of that power I thought I needed! I read that I could check to have the photos copied to the library when they're imported, but now I'd like to do that for those already imported. I tried creating a new library and reimporting, but my keywords were from an older library I had for some reason. I must have written the keywords to the pictures back then, but not in my most recent library? Anyway, could I now convert to the way I should have imported in the 1st place?

    You seem to have some problems with repeating keys - especially with the ‘?’ and ‘!’. You may need to get that looked at.
    I downloaded the manager, held down Option and Command while launching iPhoto and then checked all.
    Holding the Option and Command keys when launching iPhoto invokes +iPhoto’s own rebuild command+ so you haven’t actually used iPhoto Library Manager.
    8. I did use a program called Name Mangler in the past to rename groups of pictures. iPhoto had been fine. This was before I replaced the shortcuts with the real files. I'm not sure if this was one of those I had renamed. Could a file be internally store differently than what we see in Finder?
    If you renamed the files, then iPhoto lost track of them. Why? Because the alias in the Library lost the original file it pointed to - because you renamed it. The when you tried to use AliasHerder it couldn’t resolve the alias to replace it with the actual file.
    I made a new library and tried the manual rebuild instructions I found online but ended up in same boat as when I imported all from scratch...wrong keywords!
    I’m not sure what you did here but if you did a manual rebuild you would end up with +no keywords+.
    Because of this issue with renaming the files I think you need to start over again with a new Library:
    To create and populate a new library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars, faces, places etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library. As you import +Make sure that you do not import any alias files+.
    Then go back to where ever you stored the files before and find those re-named files and import those.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
