How do i copy a iphoto album to a disc?

Hi Y'all, I tried highlighting the ' album' then burning. What I get is the order of the pictures that is in the 'events' . I want the photos organized the way they are arranged in the 'album'. iPhoto '11, Lion OS, iMac. All up to date. Thanks./

Files do not have an order - the program that displays them sorts according to the users settings - often an alpha sort
So to control the order that files will be displayed you have to know the setting that the user looking at the files will use and then create the files so that sore will work - if the display order is Alpha then you can use the sequential names option whtn exporting

How can I copy a iPhoto album onto a flashdrive along with the photo information?

How can i copy an iPhoto album to a flashdrive along with photo information, in order to send it to a friend please?

File -> Export. In the resulting dialogue you can choose to export the Original. Or, if you choose to export a Jpeg you can get the edited version. Check the boxes at 'Keywords and Descriptions' and 'Places Information' and you'll get the metadata, if that's what you mean by "photo information"

How do i transfer existing iphoto albums to a new computer

how do i transfer existing iphoto albums to a new computer?
thanks

Are you asking about transfering iPhoto Libraries from one Mac to another Mac? Or about transferring iPhoto albums from an IOS device to a computer? And what is your iPhoto version?
If you are talking about your Mac, simply transfer the iPhoto Library to the new computer. You can copy it using the network, by copying to a portable disk, or by connecting your old mac to the new mac in target disk mode. After copying the iPhoto Library to your Home folder on the new mac, double click it to open it in iPhoto and to point iPhoto to it.
If you are asking about transfering albums from an IOS device; the albums you create on your IOS device are not synced back to your computer. You share the photos by adding them to the Photo Stream, creating shared Photo streams, sending them by email, or publishing web journals.

I own a MacBook Pro and an iMac. How can I copy my iPhoto library from my MacBook to the iMac?

I own a 13" MacBook Pro and a 27" iMac and I have different iPhoto libraries for each one of them.
How can I copy the iPhoto library from the MacBook to the iMac without losing the pictures I have on the iMac library?
Is it possible to merge the libraries?
Can I do this without using an external HDD? (e.g. connecting them through an ethernet cable?)
Thanks for your help!

1. By eirher a: renaming one of the Libraries or b: copying them to another folder
2. If you have Aperture 3.3 or later and iPhoto 9.3 or later you can merge libraries with Aperture.
Otherwise the only way to merge Libraries is with the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager
3. Yes.

How do you copy your iphoto library to ext. hard drive?

I am sorry to ask this lame question, but: How do you copy your iPhoto library to an external hard drive, just to back it up? I'm confused, because of three things: a) I can't seem to find, in iPhoto pref's, where you select what the "path" is to the library; b) in the iPhoto library folder on my computer (which is NOT on my boot drive, but a different internal drive..) the newest "year" folder in there says 2005, yet we have imported many newly-taken photos for the last 3 years, AND c) in the user>Pictures folder there is a "file" called iPhoto Library, but I can't quite figure out exactly what that is, what it does, etc.
So, I apologize, but if someone can help me figure what I would like to think should be a very simple backup, I would be grateful. Thank you very much.

I am sorry to ask this lame question, but: How do you copy your iPhoto library to an external hard drive, just to back it up?
Drag it to the external drive
a) I can't seem to find, in iPhoto pref's, where you select what the "path" is to the library;
There not one - you change the path by launching iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) key and using the select library option to repoint to a different libary - however you would not do this to a backup library - it would just be a copy
b) in the iPhoto library folder on my computer (which is NOT on my boot drive, but a different internal drive..) the newest "year" folder in there says 2005, yet we have imported many newly-taken photos for the last 3 years,
This is probably an unused older library - a backup for a previous version
c) in the user>Pictures folder there is a "file" called iPhoto Library, but I can't quite figure out exactly what that is,
That probably is your iPhoto library and it is probably not a file but a Unix style "package"
Launch iPhoto and in events view select a photo and right click (control click) on it and select the show file option to see the path to the currently active library - I find the column view the easiest to see the path

How do I export an iPhoto album as a pdf?

How do I export an iPhoto album as a pdf? When I am in the album and go to file --> export, I get each image from the album saved as a separate file. I want to save them all in one file.

Select all of those photos in iPhoto and start a print process. Select the print size as desired, 8 x 10 or letter size, select the paper size accordingly, and then use the PDF button to select Save as PDF.
That will give you a multipage PDF file with one photo on each page.

How do I easily indent iphoto albums by category and nest them?

how do I easily indent iphoto albums by category and nest them?

Create folders - File menu ==> new ==> folder (you can not "indent" them) - folders can contain albums or other folders
Suggest the "indentation" to apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

Hi. How do you save the iPhoto album as you are making it?

How do I save the photo album I making on iphoto as I am making it?

How do I save the photo album I making on iphoto as I am making it?
Saving in what way? iPhoto has a database architecture - all changes you make to library items are immediate - no saving needed. Only do not forget to make regular backups of your iPhoto Library..
Or are you asking, how to create a pdf-copy of your book for future reference?
Then select your book in the source list and use the command "File > Print" to print a copy of your book to PDF - press the "PDF" button in the lower left part of the "Print" panel.

Copying an Iphoto Album&Project from one Mac to another

I have Iphoto 08 on both a macbook running 10.4.11 and IMAC running 10.5.1.
I was using the macbook to download and store all pictures until I got the IMAC.
I copied the Iphoto library to an external harddrive that is now attached to the IMAC and am accessing that library(option) key when launching Iphoto.
I was traveling with the laptop taking and downloading a lot more photos, while my wife was creating some albums and calender projects on the IMAC.
Now that I'm back I want to bring the new events from the laptop on to the IMAC or save the albums and projects on to the laptop so I can reback up the entire photo library (~18,000) photos. Is there an easy way to copy an album/project from one iphoto library to another or would it be simpler to copy new events?

You can do this best and most easily with iPhoto Library Manager

I use Time Machine to back up my iMac. How can I copy some iPhoto events from my external hard drive to my MacBook?

I back up my iMac on my external hard drive. When trying to copy the iPhoto Library onto my MacBook, I get the message "Cannot use TM backup as main library". I don't even see an option to choose certain Events to copy. Is there any way I can choose particular Events in iPhoto to copy to my MacBook? How can I get the photos on my MacBook?

If you're on Leopard or Snow Leopard, or Lion with iPhoto '08 or earlier, see the gray box at the end of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #15.
If not, you cannot restore individual photos; just the entire iPhoto library. A workaround is to restore it to an alternate location, such as your desktop, then export the selected photos from there. See the pink box in the same article.

How do I movie an iphoto album onto a memory card.

I need step by step instructions on how to put an iphoto album or pic's from my library onto a memory card for a digital picture frame. Also how to make sure the pics are all the same size and will fit the full frame. I need this asap please, It's for my son-in-law in Iraq. Thank you for you time. Miss Kathy

Thank you so much for your help. I am pretty illiterate when it comes to computers. That is why I love my apple. I can usually figure things out because apple makes it simple. However now that I have the pic's to a folder on my desktop, per your great directions, how do I get the folder to the memory card?
Thanks, misskathy

How can I copy my iPhoto library file to my other macs?

I have 4 Mac's and I've kept all my photos on one of them primarily. How can I find the iPhoto library file and copy it to the other Macs?

There are two apps that can do that for your.
1 - the better of the two is iPhoto Library Manager. You will have to manually select those Events in Library A that are not in Library B and copy them to B. Then do the same for B to A. This also copies both the original and edited versions, keywords, titles, descriptions, faces and places.
2 - the second app is SyncPhotos. This one is automatic and will copy the original images in A that are not in B into B and the same for B to A. This does not copy edited versions or any of the metadata, i.e. keywords, etc.
