Export pictures from Iphoto, merging 2 libraries, adviced by an Apple retailer....
Hi!
Some time after having switched the HD of my MacBook Pro, unfortunately, I now have the classic problem of having 2 IPhoto libraries that I want to merge, a backup library from the old HD and a new library created after the switch.
Reading your great answers and recommendations about using either the IPhoto Library Manager or Aperture, I got a bit confused after talking to a guy at our local Apple Store today.
He recommended exporting all photos as originals (sorted as albums) from both IPhoto Libraries into a folder on an external HD. After this I should delete both libraries on the MacBook, create a new library into which I could import all the photos from the external HD... Will this work? I am off course very worried about loosing my photos.
Besides this, the guy also recommended buying a NAS HD for storing and accessing our photos from different Macs. Again, reading your recommendations, this does not seem as a good idea. But how should I then make a common IPhoto library that I can access wirelessly from my MacBook, my wife`s MacBook and our IPad?
Thanks a lot for your time!
Okay, well you can safely ignore everything the guy said. He is clueless.
He recommended exporting all photos as originals (sorted as albums) from both IPhoto Libraries into a folder on an external HD. After this I should delete both libraries on the MacBook, create a new library into which I could import all the photos from the external HD... Will this work?
This will get all the original photos into one Library. However this is not merging Libraries.. You'll lose a lot - all your organisation, your edits, any metadata you've added in iPhoto and so. Basically, it'll be like you never used iPhoto before. What I find very curious is why he wants to double the dataloss by exporting from both libraries. That's spectacularly dumb. If you only export from one you only lose half the work.
If you want to actually merge the Libraries then you'll need to use either Library Manager or Aperture. End of story.
Then:
Besides this, the guy also recommended buying a NAS HD for storing and accessing our photos from different Macs. Again, reading your recommendations, this does not seem as a good idea.
1. You can't have an iPhoto Library on a NAS. The disk format is wrong and iPhoto is very risky on networked connections. Apple advise against both.
2. There's a vague chance that this person is suggesting using a Referenced Library with the Masters on the NAS. Again, you'd be starting over from scratch and again, iPhoto doesn't have the tools to do this. For more on iPhoto and file management see this User Tip:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6361
But how should I then make a common IPhoto library that I can access wirelessly from my MacBook, my wife`s MacBook and our IPad?
The answer to that is simple. You can't, at this time. What you can do is share Photo Streams from your Library to the other devices, but again, that does not give access to the Library, just the current versions of the photos.
The upcoming Photos app, due next year, does appear to offer the possibility of the Library in the Cloud, but that's next year.

How to I export pictures from iphoto to a sd card
how do I export pictures from iphoto to a sd card?
léonie wrote:
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. -

How to Export pictures from iPhoto to external hard disk? Newbie here! Please help!
Need your help guys. Just bought a new Macbook Pro. Loved using the iPhoto but after managing a lot of my photos, realised that I cannot export an edited photo from iphoto to my external hard disk. I am not sure what iphoto version I am running right now but my Mac is brand new and comes with the pre installed softwares. Whenever I try to export an event, folder or even a picture, I will get this message unable to create/Volumes/FreeAgentDrive/ after going thru the Export process in iphoto. Please help!!!
Your Mac can "read" data from an NTFS drive, but can't "write" files to it.
If you intend to use this drive only on Mac computers, then, use Disk Utility to erase it and format for Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
If you want to be able to write files to the external drive AND still use it with Microsoft Windows computers, then, format it as MS DOS. (Or, on a Microsoft Windows computer, format the drive as Fat32. However, if you use Windows XP, be aware that the largest size you can do this with is 32Gb. Vista and Windows 7 doesn't have this limit.)
Another option, do you have to use an external hard drive? What about a flash drive? -

I have a Mac Book Pro that I use iphoto 6 for my pictures. However, I noticed my hard drive was filling up too rapidly so I purchased a WD My Passport for Mac 500GB. I select photos(the number does not matter), click File>export, and select the location(and yes, I specify the size of picture's maximum, and the file extension, and I click Export and the export initializes and then stops. Telling me that it is unable to create the volumes ont the My Passport. There is plenty of space on the hard drive. I don't know what I am doing wrong. It seems like the process should be very simple to MOVE, COPY, EXPORT photos. Why is this so difficult? What am I doing wrong?
My photo library cumulative is maybe 1.3 GB tops, however I back it up to the external drive every upload. I don't think the issue is converting calculations because as I said in my previous post, sometimes when I stop transfer to the SD flash drive and restart the copying process it will complete the library of 60-80 photos in about 2 minutes like it should. The issue is that it will not proceed to copy most of the time, and the copying status bar says preparing for a long time

Size & Quality - Exporting Pix from iPhoto for Display and Printing?
I would like to export pictures from iPhoto for use in PowerPoint.
If the pictures are in 4x3 format, exporting them using the "Custom" size option and specifying 1024 as the maximum pixels results in nice 1024 x 768 photos that fill the screen on most projectors. This is good.
The exported photos are also at 72 pixels/inch. This is OK for onscreen display, but not so good for printing.
Oddly, the results are the SAME (1024 x 768, 72 pixels/inch) whether one specifies Low, Med, High or Max quality in the iPhoto export panel -- though the file sizes ARE different (higher quality = larger sizes). (I used Photoshop Elements to identify the sizes of the exported photos).
What gives? I would have thought higher quality files would have been associated with higher resolution (more pixels/inch) but this doesn't seem to be the case, and I don't understand why the file sizes are larger.
Can someone recommend a way to export a batch of photos from iPhoto at a specific size (1024 x 768) and perhaps 300 pixels/inch) that I might use in PowerPoint for both display and printing? And perhaps explain the bloated file sizes with no apparent quality increase?
Many thanks!Luxesto
Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums

DPI is meaningless for a digital photo until you display it - Dots Per Inch are just a meaningless number - the displayed DPI is the size of the photo in dots (pixels) divided by the inches of the display measures in inches - the DPI setting in the photo means nothing - see The Myth of DPI for a longer discussion on this.
Oddly, the results are the SAME (1024 x 768, 72 pixels/inch) whether one specifies Low, Med, High or Max quality in the iPhoto export panel -- though the file sizes ARE different (higher quality = larger sizes). (I used Photoshop Elements to identify the sizes of the exported photos).
What's odd? you said export with the largest dimension 1024 - that occurred just as you specified - what would be odd would be that the export were different form your specification
What gives? I would have thought higher quality files would have been associated with higher resolution (more pixels/inch) but this doesn't seem to be the case, and I don't understand why the file sizes are larger.
Higher quality means less compression (and therefore larger file size) - it does not mean a difference in compression - JPEGs have a compression from 1 to 12 available - iPhoto does 4 steps - small, medium, large and highest. I've not see the compression documented but I think of it as like 3, 6, 9 and 12

Forget the DPI - just be sure the pixel sizes are correct - for printing you should have at least 150 dpi and 300 dpi is better - so at 150 DPI printing your 1024x768 photo can be printed at 6.8" x 5.12 " -- at 300 dpi it would only 3.4" x 2.55"

How do I export a set of pictures from iPhoto to Photos
My MacBook Pro now has OS X 10.10.3 and the new Photos app.
I have over 30K pictures in the iPhoto app in this laptop, and I do not have the need to sync all of these pictures with all of my iOS devices; I won't be using iCloud.
I was not able to determine if Photos can import sets of pictures from iPhoto; I could have imported all of my pictures from the iPhoto library but did not find out if Photos does have the option to import sets as per user's needs; I saw Photos allow the user to select those he/she wants to import but I don't think I would like to select these one by one from 30K photos.
I will like to transfer sets of these pictures selected by date taken from iPhoto and export them to Photos library I created in an external volume. I need to free some space in my HD.
Any suggestions?There is no way to import from an iPhoto Library to a Photos one. You can migrate an entire Library at one time, that's all. Otherwise your choice is to export from iPhoto to the Finder, thereafter import to Photos.

Export pix from iPhoto 4.0.3 to a digital picture frame (Tiger OS)
Can't succeed in downloading pix using a card reader. Desired pix moved to an album, then export selected. In dialog box, file export and album name are selected, jpg extension selected, pixel size changed and use extension is selected. The jpg file type and pixel size items conform to frame mfgr specs. The system proceeds to do something as the 100+ photos are supposedly transferred. After proper disconnection from the Mac, the Xd card is placed in the frame but no pix show up. In trying different sizes and extensions, the system prompts that these pictures already exist, as if the pictures are loaded into the card. I have tried creating a desktop file and dragging the album from iPhoto to the desktop with no success ( a subsequent move from the desktop to the card reader icon was planned). How can I be sure that the pix are on the card? How does the system know I want the pix to go on the card since it was never selected? Vince V
Vince V,
How does the system know I want the pix to go on the card since it was never selected?
Any time you export files from iPhoto (or save files in a Save or Save As dialog box in another application) you have to designate a location for the exported (or saved) files. If you did not designate the Xd card as your location, then the system does not know you want the exports saved there. Where did your exports go? Can you do a Finder Search for them?
Desired pix moved to an album, then export selected. In dialog box, file export and album name are selected, jpg extension selected, pixel size changed and use extension is selected.
Did you remember to select all of the pix in the album before selecting export? It has been a very long time since I've used version 4, but in iPhoto 6 when you click the Export button in the dialog box you described it opens to a standard Mac Save As dialog box. That second box is where you specify the location for the exported files. Are you getting that dialog?
I have tried creating a desktop file and dragging the album from iPhoto to the desktop with no success ( a subsequent move from the desktop to the card reader icon was planned).
I would recommend a 2-part move, just as you describe here. What did happen when you tried to drag the photos to the desktop folder?

Exporting photos from iPhoto admins account to another users iphoto account
Hi all
Probably a silly question but I have just set up another family member with their own login on my mac and am wondering how to transfer/export pictures from my iPhoto folders to the other user login' iPhotoEnable iPhoto Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane. Pics can then be dragged from your Library in the iPhoto Window to theirs.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.

I currently have iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2. I tried uploading pictures from iPhoto to Facebook but I get the message "An error has occured. Please try again later". File > Export > Login (which brings me to the Login page on Facebook) > I sign in & that's when I get the message. I've even tried hitting the Facebook tab on the bottom right. Does anyone have any solutions to my problem? I'll greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

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

What is the best way to import pictures from iPhoto without compression?
I'm trying to create a slide show using Final Cut Pro. No, I'm not interested in using iDVD slide show function because it doesn't allow me to do a whole lot. I would like to add titles and music for certain segments with video inserted here and there.
Anyway, when I used the slide show function in iPhoto, exported it out as a quick movie file, and then imported it into Final Cut Pro, I noticed a significant downgrade in quality of images. It obviously looks different from when I play the slide show in iPhoto. What would be the best way to import pictures into Final Cut Pro without any compression?
Thanks in advance.I only see Share > Export.
Some versions of iPhoto work that way -it's just Apple moving things around.
what's the difference between exporting it from iPhoto then import it into FCP vs. just importing directly from FCP?
Your first post mentioned exporting a slide show from iPhoto -I assumed that is where your images are stored.
I do not want to import pictures one by one...
You don't have to. iPhoto will let you select as many as you want, or if the images are elsewhere, you can also select multiple files from FCP's Import dialog.
...and stick them together manually.
Editing is an art and involves some effort on your part. It is not an automated process. This method opens up far more possibilities, access to filters and color correction and the opportunity to use Motion for even more sophisticated animation.
But, it only allows me to export it as 720 x 480. The original size of my photos is 3872 x 2592. Is there any way I can create a quicktime file in the original size?
You should be aware that 3872 x 2592 is not a standard pixel aspect ratio that is used in video. The images will be resized to the Sequence settings that you set up in Final Cut Pro.
I have never used iPhoto to make a slideshow before, but I just gave it a try and was able to export one with the images in their native size, simply by typing the pixel dimensions into the boxes in the dialog window:
I don't have PhotoMagico myself, but it comes highly recommended by several of the forum regulars.
Perhaps one of them will see this discussion and help with your last question. -
How do I save pictures from Iphoto to flash drive?
How do I save my pictures from Iphoto to a flash drive??
File -> Export and export the files to a folder on the desktop.
Drag the folder to the flashdrive.
You might not want to reformat the drive as then it won’t work with many other devices. -
Exporting video from iPhoto to Desktop
I take a video with my iPhone4.
I download it to iPhoto (9.3.2) on my MBP Retina (Mtn Lion).
I export it from iPhoto to my desktop.
When I play it on my desktop (QT 10.2), I get no picture and no sound.
What's happening?If you export as a Jpeg then you're telling it to export a movie as a still image. Jpeg is a format for photos, not video
iPhoto performs no compression on video at all. It has no relevance to the issue at hand.
