  • Having trouble exporting photos from iPhoto to external drive.

    I am having trouble copying files to my external drive.  It is a shared external drive connected through my wireless router.  I can copy some photo's to the externaldrive folder and they transfer no problem and some of the photo's from the same folder appear to be transfering but as soon as the copying window goes away so does the photo's from the folder I was putting them to.  New to apple so I am still learning the in's and out's and I am sure it's probably something easy.  Any help would be appreciated.  The external drive I was using on a PC before and the Mac seems to see most everything so not sure if that matters or not.  Pic and video's came from same camera on the same day.

    is there anyway to transfer direct to the hard-drive?
    What does that mean? Do you mean have your Library on an external drive? Yes, that's easy.
    I have a network HDD connected to my router
    Two issues here.
    1. That NAS is not an appropriate disk for an  iPhoto Library -  iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, saving edits and sharing the photos. Later versions simply won't allow the Library on such devices.
    2. Router? Wireless connection?  A strong warning: If you're trying to edit the Library (that is, make albums, move photos around, keyword, make books or slideshows etc.) or edit individual photos in it via Wireless be very careful. Dropouts are a common fact of wireless networking, and should one occur while the app is writing to the database then your Library will be damaged. Simply, I would not do this with my Libraries.
    To move an  iPhoto Library:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • How to export photos from iPhoto to external hard drive keeping Events structure (files and titles)

    Hello!
    I’ve been looking for a Automator application that does this for quite a while now.
    Basically I want to have an Automator application that saves a copy of my iPhoto pictures in a folder, inside Finder. Like a backup. Later on, I can save those “folders and files” on my external hard drive.
    What I want it to do is this:
    1) Export photos from a selected Album or Event on iPhoto. Using as title: “Event name” – “number” (I mean the number of the file: 1, 2, 3 …)
    2) Save them in a folder in Finder that I want.
    3) Organize the photos in different folders, the same way they are in iPhoto.
    The idea I had, was that it would do this automatically every time I launch iPhoto, as if it was synchronizing the photos into that folder.
    And then, every time I connect my hard drive, it copies these “real” folders into my hard drive.
    Is that possible? If yes, could you help me creating it, or tell me how I can do so myself, or where to download something like it?
    Thank you a lot! Kind regards,
    xanacarfran2008

    Is this waht you want to do?
    It's built into the File Export function of iPhoto 9 (11).  Select what every photos you want and use that option to put each photo in a folder with the Event title it came from as in this test of six randomly picked photos:

  • How do I move photos from iPhoto to external drive as jpegs (iphoto 7.1.5)

    I'm running out of space on my mac so wanted to move all my photos to an external drive. When I export my iphoto library though, they're not saved as individual jpeg files, which is what I want. I basically want to be able to plug the drive into any USB port and see my photos.
    Please help me!
    You used to be able to find the folders and drag and drop... I can't seem to do this anymore...?!

    If you want to move your iPhoto Library:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    If you want to simply export your photos, that's what the File -> Export command is for.

  • I can no longer drag and drop my photos from iPhoto to external drive or desktop :(

    My husband was using the laptop and I'm afraid he may have deleted the original pictures on the hard drive.  I can see the thumbnails of all of my pictures but I can't do anything with them.  I also have the photos in Photoshop Elements and only see a ? on the thumbnail.  When I try to reconnect it says it can't find the file. 
    I am new to using a Mac as well as any of the software so I'm at a loss as to what to do.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    YOu're not looking in the right palce. That's inside the iPhoto Application.
    You need to look inside the iPhoto Library
    As I sid above:
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there

  • How do I save albums, events in tact from iPhoto to external drive to comply with iCloud limits? Thx

    How do I save albums, events in tact from iPhoto to external drive to comply with iClouds limits? (iMac Lion, need to remove 280gb of photos>

    Not sure if I understand correctly?
    Do you want to move 280 GB of photos from iPhoto on your Mac to an external hard drive?
    If that is the case, iCloud has nothing to do with it. You can move your iPhoto library to an external drive to free up space on your internal drive.

    If that is not what you're trying to do, please rephrase your question. Thanks.

  • Since installing OS X 10.7.5 and iPhoto 9.4, I can no longer export photos from iPhoto.  I get a message that iPhoto quit while using the HPPhotoExport plugin.

    Since installing OS X 10.7.5 and iPhoto 9.4, I can no longer export photos from iPhoto.  I get a message that "iPhoto quit unexpectedly while using the HPPhotoExport plugin."

    Trash the HPPHoto Export Plugin
    /Library/Application Support/iPhoto/*/HPPhotoExport
    Remember you have two Libraries:
    HD/Library and
    HD/Users/Your Name/ Library
    On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library
    It may be in either.

  • When I try to export photos from iPhoto, why does it truncate the title I have given the photo? For example, I have labeled it 2013RoxyCarousel. When saved to desktop, it reads 2013. The rest is omitted.

    When I try to export photos from iPhoto, why does it truncate the title I have given the photo? For example, I have labeled it 2013RoxyCarousel. When saved to desktop, it reads 2013. The rest is omitted.

    iPhoto 7.1.5.
    I chose these settings:
    Kind: JPEG
    Quality: medium
    Include title and keywords (checked)
    Size: small
    File name: use title
    I guess that is what you meant. Thanks for replying.

  • How can I Copy/backup photos in iphoto to external drives smaller than iPhoto library

    How can I Copy/backup photos in iphoto to external drives smaller than iPhoto library?  I have several 128 GB SSD's that I want to use to copy/backup all my iPhoto photographs for a permanent archive due to stability...but my iPhoto library is larger than the drives (about 234 GB) so it would require two of the SSD's...how best to get the original photos onto the SSD's?  I'm running Yosemite and iPhoto 9.6...thx.

    Terrence - Can you explain what you mean by data loss?  In the iPhoto Library?  Or on the copy? 
    Larry - In what way is each photo "degraded"?  Quality?  Isn't it simply making an an exact copy, in this case a jpeg, as would happen if I dragged and dropped a different file type?  Is there another type of degradation? 
    I am working on trying to create a correct backup as well (per your instructions) but I wanted to use this as a "put in a fireproof safe" archive on very small SSD's that would never have a mechanical hard drive problem (we've lost a couple over time so aren't real confident in their staying power)...I also recognize that I I won't have newer photos in this archive group but at least it would have 98% of our photos in another off-site location...at least that's the thought...
    Thx for your input and look forward to more in your reply...

  • Can I export photos from iphoto to lightroom?

    can I export photos from iphoto to lightroom?

    Not very knowledgeable on iPhoto are we?
    The problem with iPhoto is it copies and or moves all your photo into it's database structure which is just a pain
    It moves nothing. It can copy, or reference the images.
    Even Picasa is better then iPhoto as it actually displays RAW images.
    As Keith says, iPhoto work with every format that the OS supports - in other words all the same ones as Aperture.
    iPhoto doesn't even support Adobe DNG format.
    Going for 0/3 ?
    As for migrating from iPhoto to Lightroom:  Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
