Getting photos from iPhoto to SD card

I have read many threads regarding this issue, but cannot find an answer that works. I'm trying to get photos from iPhoto to a 2GB Snadisk SD card for display on a digital photo frame.
I have tried direct drag/drop copying and exporting from within iPhoto, and get a message saying "out of free disk space" or "cannot create volume" after about 100MB of photos have transferred. Obviously there's a lot more space on a 2GB card.
I have tried, according to recommendations here, transferring the photos to a desktop folder and then to a folder on the SD card. This works but the photo frame cannot read photos inside a folder, they must be in the root directory.
I tried transferring to the card while in my camera instead of the card reader and get the same results.
I have reformatted the card in my camera and this did nothing.
Any other advice, or do I need to bag the photo frame?
Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I have the same problem and haven't found the answer. I had to keep adding files one by one but could only get about 102 file, at 76 MB. IB took my 2G card back and used an old 128 KB card. I tried using folders also with no success. Emailed the manufacturer but haven't heard back from them. If you get a solution post it back here.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How to get photos from iphoto back onto an SD card. I have a MacBook Pro with a built in SC card slot.

How to get photos from iPhoto back onto a SD card. I have a MacBook Pro with built in SD card slot. I have tried "Export" but this does not work.

It's best to export the photos to a folder and then drag the folder onto the memory card. Memory cards are usually formatted for PCs, FAT 32, which doesn't permit more than a limited number of files in the root directory. Putting the photos in a folder gets around that limitation.

Can't get photos from iPhoto to iPod

My iPod software won't recognize my iPhoto library so I can't synch pictures. When I select the iPod Option to synchronize photos from iPhoto and do an iPod update, it doesn't transfer and photos from iPhoto and in fact it unchecks the synchronize photos option in the iPod software. I'm using a 60GB video iPod w/the current iPod software, iTunes 6.0.1, iPhoto 5.0.4 on an iMac G5, running OS X 10.4.3.

Here's how to do it:
Getting Photos from iPhoto 5 to an iPod
create a special Album in iPhoto for the Nano and place those photos in it you want on the iPod.
connect the Nano to the Mac and when mounted in iTunes open iTunes' preferences and go to the iPod Photos section - Figure 1.
scroll down till you see the album and select it. If you don't want the full sized image files to be copied to the Nano do not select the Include full-resolution photos box.
close the preferences and when the syncing is completed dismount the Nano and then disconnect from the Mac.

And to diversify the use of that port, you could get this specialized adapter:

How do i get photos from iphoto library over to photoshop elements for editing?

how do i get photos from iphoto library over to photoshop elements 10 for editing?
this is an iMac that I just got so its all new to me...
thank you

If you set PSE as external editor, be sure you pick the right file, which is not by any means the logical choice. You want this one:
You can also export the photos from iphoto, edit them and save them under new names and reimport the edited photos as new files. This is more trouble, but lets you save as many different versions of your image as you like (iphoto only remembers the last edited version + original).

How to export photos from iPhoto to memory card SanDisk

Hi;
I am trying to move photos from iPhoto to a flash drive. In the flash drive I have a SanDisk memory card in a Kodak 50-IN-1 Card reader and I put it into the drive. I have tried to open iphoto click on the photo, go to file click on export and it. The photo shows up in the flash drive port, I can click on it and see it but when I take the disk and try to re-upload the disk the photo will not show up on iphoto nor will it show up in the camera.
The second way I tried was to create a folder, copy to the folder and the drag folder to the device. I again ended up with the same results.
Why will it show up in the device when I click on the device but the photo will no show up in iphoto or when I put the disk into the camera?
Tom

Most cameras expect photos to be in specific folder(s) on the card and to have file names in specific formats. My Canon G12, for example, uses a structure like this:
CANON_DC
....DCIM
........100___01
............IMG_0001.CR2
............IMG_0001.JPG
............more photos
........100___02
............IMG_0007.CR2
............IMG_0007.JPG
.............more photos
(My camera is set to create a new folder every month, but there are other options. One of my previous cameras went to a new folder every hundred photos.)
Examine a card formatted by your camera with some pictures taken by your camera to discover what sort of file structure and filenames your camera creates, then mimic that.
On the re-import side, iPhoto and Image Capture know about the common file structures and filenames, so it recognizes them when it sees them. Dropping long, random names in the top level of the card as illustrated in the video is likely only to work when you view the card on another system with a general file structure with an application that makes full use of it (like Finder or Windows Explorer).

Move photos from iPhoto to camera card

How do I move a group of photos from iPhoto to my camera's SD card?
Thank you,
brotherdan

Hello there. Plug the camera into your USB port. You should see an icon appear on the desktop, and iPhoto may start automatically. From within iPhoto, select the photos you want to move. From the file menu, choose Export...
You will be presented the iPhoto export dialog, from which you can set the various characteristics of the exported photo: it's file type, compression quality, resolution. When you dismiss this dialog, you will be shown a standard file dialog. Navigate to your camera card, which appears just like a disk. Select that as your destination and click Save.

How do I get photos from iPhoto to my new computer?

I have a new MacBook Pro and I am using the copy-paste method of getting data from my exteranl hard drive to the new computer. I am doing this rather than using the migration assistant to avoid putting any corrupt files on the new MacBook Pro. My problem is that I have many photos in iPhoto on my old MacBook Pro that I would like to transfer to the new one and I can not figure out how to do this. Any advice on a step by step process would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.
Phillijr

If you do not want to use Migration Assistant, email the photos to your new computer. Use Transfer Big Files. It's free up to 1GB.

Can I get photos from iPhoto into Lightroom 3 (or/and 4)?

I have PSElements 10 and iPhoto (iLife) 9. I am looking into purchasing LR-3 or the trial on LR-4. I have 10,000 photos in iPhoto. Can I bring them into LR? Individually? By folder? If they are brought into LR and also are in iPhoto, are they really on my computer twice? Thank you!

I'm a newbie to LR and have downloaded the LR4 demo hoping to use it with iPhoto 09. I'm basically OK with the Mac but not an expert and would like to point out a couple of problems I had which might make others think twice about 'experimenting'.
To access your iPhoto files, go to the finder, locate your iPhoto library, right click on the library icon and scroll down to 'Show Package Contents. A new window will open with various files and folders including Modified and Originals. I'm shooting Canon RAW and all my CR2 files are stored in the Originals folder in dated folders. From here on in I'm a little out of my depth but I believe the Modified folder holds .jpg files which are copies of the CR2 files which iPhoto uses when showing photos in Events and editing. They may also have some auto corrections applied so they look brighter and more saturated than the original CR2s.
The easy way to allow LR to 'see' these folders and files is to create an alias of the iPhoto library or the Originals folder and ask LR to import from the alias and this does work *but* I did something wrong and this is where you can start to screw things up in a big way. First, I didnt find it easy to understand the way that LR stores (or links) photos in Folders and Collections, second I found the import options slightly ambiguous so I tried to import just a few photos from 2012 / March (in the Originals folder) which worked fine. Then I did the same for Feb which worked fine. Then I imported the whole Originals folder and I was impressed, LR imported all the folders from iPhoto with identical dates and each dated folder had all the photos.
All well and good but when I next opened iPhoto my February and March photos were missing so I guess I must have used the wrong import option but I thought, probably mistakenly, that LR didnt touch the original files it only created links. Perhaps someone could help on that one.
Next, I tried a Time Machine restore on iPhoto which took ages and didnt salvage the missing photos so I copied the missing photos from a Time Machine backup using the finder to another folder and reimported them into iPhoto which worked. Great. And then Time Machine encountered an error (not enough space on backup disk), all backups were lost and I had to reformat my external drive to get Time Machine functioning properly again.
My apologies for this long winded summary but I really wanted to explain that it looks like LR4 can import from iPhoto (and do it really well) if done correctly and it would be really good to have someone (at Adobe?) with more experience than myself to write up a list of instructions for Dummies.
One final point, LR4 is using different basic adjustments to photos with a 2012 process which differs from the 2010 process in ACR which confuses things more and there's a beta version of ACR using the same 2012 process which I've downloaded. Took me ages to understand what was going on (and why exif wasnt showing / saving correctly) ... And very finally, there's other things I found out only by trial and error that are far too long winded to explain here!
LR4 looks really good but is sadly missing some very important instructions when it comes to importing from iPhoto 09.

Getting photos from iphoto to iphone

OK I bought the new 3G iphone- now I have to fill in the blanks in the apple instructions as usual. I just want to transfer some photos from my iphoto files in my computer to my iphone. My software is up to date. I do not see any way to deal with photos on itunes

Umm ... that'll be the Photos tab in iTunes.
Plug your iPhone into your computer; when iTunes starts, select the iPhone in the left-hand navigation, so you get the options pages. Along the top it goes: Summary, Info, Ringtones, Music, Photos, Videos, Applications.
Select Photos and I think you'll see ho the rest works

Trouble getting photos from iphoto to iPhone

A few months back I had updated my iphone to 4.3.2 (somewhere around there) and it began transferring only a very small subset of the photos from photo to my phone. After the sync, it would say something to the effect of "Image "DSC_00112" could not be transfered to the iPhone". However, when I opened open photos on the iphone, only about 450 photos of my 3100 photo library were on the phone. I read some details in the past that there were others with this problem but that upgrading solved the problem. Today I upgraded to iOS 5 hoping the problem would resolve. Now when I choose to sync all photos, it doesn't even give me a dialogue box anymore, but still only a small subset of the photos in my photo library cross over to my iphone.... I don't really know why the phone is not allowing most of my photos to transfer, and I have no notion of how to fix it. Have tried multiple fixes, including manually selecting albums to transfer, repairing iphoto permissions, etc. Any help or knowledge on the subject would be greatly apprecaited.
Thanks,
Dane

How can I get photos from iPhoto to Photoshop Elements?

I installed Photoshop Elements 10 on my new MacBook Pro because I want to do some additional editing. I have 800 pictures that I downloaded into iPhoto before I purchased PSE.
How can I open the pictures in PSE?
The instructions on the PSE website do not seem to refer to the version of iPhoto I have (the screens and menus are different.

I used this advice and was able to open the some photos in iPhoto and edit in PSE. I would like to save them to another file, outside iPhoto. Is that possible?
Sure - save As istead of save - then the edited [photo will not be in iPhoto but will be where you put it
I would also like to open PSE and open the files from PSE, possible?
You can - use the open command and the media browser - look in the lower left hadn corner of the open windos under media ==> photos ==> iPhoto - but why use iPhoto at all if you do not want your photos in iPhoto - if you do the edits this way you will not have them in iPhoto
Perhaps I need to move the photos out of iPhoto and then open with PSE.
Again you can do that - select the photo in iPhoto and export (file menu ==> export) and work on the exported photos - again
but why use iPhoto at all if you do not want your photos in iPhoto - if you do the edits this way you will not have them in iPhoto
Just now learning Mac, so I think I may still be thinking in PC.
It is not so much Mac vs PC but database photo management vs file management - the iPhoto database structure is infinantly more powerful that an file approach like you used on a PC

How do I get photos from iPhoto via Time Machine?

Hi,
I have iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2 and am unable to find my photos through Time Machine. I tried following the previous discussions on how to do this but I did not find a Master's folder when searching on package contents after right clicking on iPhoto in Time Machine.
I accidentally deleted some photos in iPhoto the other night and was hoping that I could easily retreieve them from my Time Machine Back-ups but this is not the case. Where the heck are the iPhotos photos stored? I have a MacBookPro running version 10.8.5.
Thanks in advance for your help-
Sheri

Thanks, LN
I only need to retrieve a few photos...not the entire library. Where is the master's folder located, specifically? I was unable to find it and I looked very thoroughly through all of the folders.
