Export from iPhoto to Cpmpact Flash Card

I am so frustrated. We got one of those new [icture frames that you can put a flash card in. When I select the photoes from iphoto and export them to the card I get an error early into the transfer
Unable to create/Volumes/ after a few pics, never the same pic. I think all my pics are good jpgs, What is wrong, I have tried different memorry cards, all the same.

This could be a file permissions issue: Download BatchMod from
http://macchampion.com/arbysoft/
And apply it to the iPhoto Library Folder using the settings found here:

(Credit to Old Toad for this one).
Another possibility is that iPhoto is having trouble with the Format of the card, so try exporting to the desktop and then dragging to the card.

How to export from iPhoto 6 to SD card?

Hi: I've purchased a digital picture frame. It takes an SD card. My question is how to export photos from the folder I've placed them in onto the SD card. The digital frame doesn't have a USB cable connection. Should I take this one back and get one with a USB cable to transfer that way? Thx

Walt: If I'm correct in understanding that the question is how to copy pictures onto the card when the frame can't be connected to the Mac, the solution is a $10 USB card reader. Remove the card from the frame, insert it in the reader, connect it to the Mac, and copy the pix from that folder Terence has advised you to export them to. Then return the card to the frame.

Exporting from iPhoto to the SD card is preferable. Dragging to the card will only write the lower quality preview files and not the high resolution originals.
Export to a folder on the Desktop and then drag the folder to the card. If the file system on the SD Card is not MacOS Extended (Joournaled), you'll avoid a problem with the limit of files, that can be stored on the top level of the card by collecting all files in a folder.
Actually I found the opposite was true.
As you can see in the following picture, the dragged photo, which is the one named IMG_2268.JPG retained more metadata and had a larger file size than the one I exported which was reduced in file size, and lost a bit of the meta data in the export. Including the creation date, and the latitude and longitude.
I think Dragging is the better option.

Not using the correct structure. Camera's use a very exact structure and the only way the camera will see photos on the card is for them to be in that exact structure

Exporting from iPhoto to SD card?

I am trying to export photos from iPhoto onto an SD card on my iMac. Each time I try to do this directly from iPhoto to the card I only get 10% of them. It is a 2GB card and there are 900 photos which according to Info is taking up 2.0GB? The card theoretically is 2.03GB and I may be too close to the limit however to only get 10% on is very odd?
I have tried copying to a separate desktop folder (tip from another website) but still without success. In this instance the process starts to export the files and then each time stops at file 168 which can't be copied as I apparently have run out of disc space and nothing is copied?
I have used a Mac for over 1 year now but still confused with the differences between this and a PC.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
John

It fails at the same point each time. When it reaches 168 files out of the 900 it comes up as the disc doesn't have enough space then fails to copy any of the files. There is then one icon left on the disc which doesn't open but Preview automatically opens with the last thing I looked at which is nothing to do with the photos?

Why don't my photos show up on card reader after an export from iPhoto?

Just exported 78 photos from iPhoto to a memory card reader. After completing the export, I returned the memory card to my camera.The photos don't show up. What could have gone wrong?

The format and arrangement of folders on your camera card is quite specific, and unless you've export the photos to exactly the right folder, name din exactly the right way, it won't know they are there.
Format the card with your camera. Take a snap. Pop the card in the Reader. Find that snap... that's the folder your photos should go to.

How do you move pictures from iPhoto to an SD Card on a late 2011 Mac Book Pro 15 inch?

Do you have a SD slot? If not you get a USB to SD memory card adpater at the computer/office/online store and use that.
It appears as a drive on your machine and you can use Export from iPhoto or drag and drop methods too.
Make sure you backup

I want to move pic's in a folder from iPhoto to a flash drive. Everything I've tried allows me to "copy" the contents of the folder, but when I access the flash drive it does not allow me to "paste". What do I do??

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Your USB drive is formatted in NTFS, and OS X can't write on disks with NTFS. To fix this:
1. Use an app like Paragon NTFS.
2. Format the USB drive in another filesystem like "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)", "MS-DOS (FAT)" or "exFAT" > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html Make a backup of your files on the external disk.
After doing that, you will be able to copy your photos to the external disk. Note that you can also use the Export feature in iPhoto to get more export options

I can't get an album from iPhoto to a flash drive

How do I get an album in iPhoto to a flash drive?How do I get an album from IPhoto to a flash drive????

Couple of things:
was able to use the iPhoto Export menu and export directly to an external flash drive. I was also able to select and drag the photos from iPhoto directly to the drive
Depending on the settings used that can yield exporting and dragging can produce very different results. This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
and apparently the limit on the number of files is above anything I have done so far.
The limit is to the number of items on the Tope Level I of the drive. I can't recall it exactly but it's a multiple of 32, hence the trick is to put the image into a folder, that way there's only one item at the top level.

Export from iPhoto while keeping original photo information?? NEED HELP!!!

I'm trying to set up a pc for my grandmother so I can take over her old computer (macbook air). However she has 11000 photos on iPhoto and I need to move then all onto a storage device (about 30GB) but when I export them the computer doesn't copy all the information such as the date the photo was taken etc. Talking to a guy in the apple store he said i couldn't do it, but he was being pretty unhelpful so I was wondering if anyone here could give me an answer. How do you export from iPhoto while keeping all the information?

This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
As to dates specifically:
There are two kinds of metadata involved when you consider jpeg or other image file.
One is the file data. This is what the Finder shows. This tells you nothing about the contents of the file, just the File itself.
The problem with File metadata is that it can easily change as the file is moved from place to place or exported, e-mailed, uploaded etc.
Photographs have also got both Exif and IPTC metadata. The date and time that your camera snapped the Photograph is recorded in the Exif metadata. Regardless if what the file date says, this is the actual time recorded by the camera.
Photo applications like iPhoto, Aperture, Lightroom, Picasa, Photoshop etc get their date and time from the Exif metadata.
When you export from iPhoto to the Finder new file is created containing your Photo (and its Exif). The File date is - quite accurately - reported as the date of Export.
However, the Photo Date doesn't change.
The problem is that the Finder doesn't work with Exif.
So, your photo has the correct date, and so does the file, but they are different things. To sort on the Photo date you'll need to use a photo app.

Unable to export from iPhoto

I have tried to export individual photos and an album as a file(s) to my desktop and to smugmug via the iPhoto plugin without success. I have also put a new folder in Pictures and have tried to export the photos to it without success.
When exporting to desktop, the message comes up "Exporting...Unable to create /users/name/desktop."
When using the smugmug plugin, iPhoto "unexpectedly" shuts down!
I have tried to drag and drop photos from iPhoto without success of course.
I will appreciate your help and suggestions. This is the first time that I've had problems exporting from iPhoto.
Vernon

Well the reason you can’t export is because iPhoto can’t find the pictures.
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars 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.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Export from iPhoto with limited ppi.

I need to submit a photo that is 1000 ppi in its longest dimension. When exporting from iPhoto, you can select small, medium, large and original. Or go the custom route, in which case the dimension is listed as "px." How do I convert to ppi? Thank you.

you can not - PPI is Pixels per inch - digital photos have no inches so you can not have PPI
in the export dialogue you can select the number of pixels for the largest dimension - see the user tip on exporting for export options
