How do I copy several photos from IPhoto to an email?

Hello sfbates41,
Thank you for thinking of Apple Support Communities for your support needs.
To copy several photos from iPhoto into an email, first you need to select them, then you can drag them over into the email message or start an email from there.
iPhoto 9.5: selecting photos
To select a photo, click it. A selected photo has a yellow border.
Here are other ways to select photos:
To select more than one photo, hold down the Command key while you click each photo.
Drag to select multiple photos.
To select a continuous range of photos, click the first photo, and then press the Shift key while you click the last photo.

    I don't think you need Preview.
    Select the image and use File->export and you have full control over the size and compression.

  • How do I copy some photos from iPhoto on my Macbook to a usb flash drive?

    Hi - I want to copy some photo's in iPhoto onto a usb flash drive.  How do I do this?
    Thank you

    Insert your usb flash drive.
    In iPhoto select the photos you want to write to the flash drive and use the command "File > Export".
    In the "Export" panel set the quality and size you want for the exported images. Then click the "Export" button and in the File Chooser dialouge select your flash drive as the destination.

  • How can I copy selected photos from iPhoto on my iMac to my iPhone 6?

    I used to have many photos on my iPhone 6. I also have thousands of photos on my iMac. After iDrive became available I decided to try it, and uploaded my large photos library to my iPhone and iPad. After using it for awhile I decided against keeping all these photos on my other devices. I removed everything from iDrive and my IOS devices. Now I'd like to find a way to restore some of my photos to IOS devices.
    I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to do that.
    Thanks

    Put the photos you want to upload to your iPhone in an album in iPhoto.  Connect the iPhone to the Mac and launch iTunes. 
    Click on your iPhone icon
    and then on Photos
    Next check Sync Photos and Selected albums.  Find the album with the photos you want to upload and select it. 
    Lastly click on the Sync button.

  • How do i copy a photo from iPhoto to a memory stick

    Can someone help me with this qwestion?

    You can not "copy" to a memory stick - you select the photo(s) in iPhoto and export (file menu ==> export - see this user tip for details on export options) to a desktop folder and then drag that folder to the mounted, unlocked memory stick

  • How can I get the photos from iPhoto copied to a disk in the order I want?

    How can I get the photos from iPhoto copied to a disk in the order I want??

    To ensure a custom ordering, sort the files in an album and rename the files with a sequentially numbered filename.
    File > Export > Version/Originals
    Then use "Filename > Sequential"
    or "Filename > Album name with index"

  • How do you get your photos from iPhoto into Photoshop?  Am I just duumb

    How do I move my photos from iPhoto to Photoshop?  I am feeling really dumb right now.

    Hi Gramo5,
    Please follow the below steps.
    In the Finder, navigate to your iPhoto package file. By default, it's located in /Users/[user name]/Pictures, and it's called iPhoto Library.   
    Control-click the iPhoto Library file and choose Show Package Contents.   
    A Finder window opens that shows the contents of the package file. The Masters folder contains all of the photos that are in iPhoto.
    Control-click the folder named Masters and choose Duplicate.   
    Drag the folder named "Masters copy" from the iPhoto Library Finder window to your Desktop and then you can import the pictures to Photoshop from the desktop.
    Thank you for posting on Adobe Forums.

  • How do i save my photos from iPhoto to a back up drive?

    how do i save my photos from iPhoto to a back up drive?

    Most Simple Back Up:
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
    If you only want to back the Photos"
    File -> Export
    This User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.

  • 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...

  • Hi, I can't email photos from iphoto as the email server doesn't recognise my password / username combination... any ideas how i fix this?

    Hi, I can't email photos from iphoto as the email server doesn't recognise my password / username combination... any ideas how / where i fix this?

    Go to iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete the email account there.  Then add it back again. 
    If that fails you can set Mail at the email client for iPhoto in iPhoto's General preference pane. Mail is more reliable, gives you a sent copy and has better access to your contacts. It also has photo templates if you need them.  They are in the stationary selection menu.

  • How can I download my photos from iphoto to the external hard disk? thanks!

    How can I download my photos from iphoto to the external hard disk? thanks!

    This is our resident iPhoto guru, Terence Devlin's, advice:
    You can move your iPhoto Library to an external disk or new Mac:
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity 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 can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system.  Not enough memory to upgrade.

    How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system.  Not enough memory to upgrade.

    You can't.  iCloud is not for general file backup from a Mac. It's for backup up and syncing data between mobile devices and and Macs and  The following is from this Apple document: iCloud: Backup and restore overview.
    iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your (mobile) device using iOS 5 or later. Once you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch .....
    What is backed up
    You get unlimited free storage for:
    Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
    Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    You get 5 GB of free iCloud storage for:
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
    Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
    Ringtones
    Visual Voicemails
    But not from a Mac.  If you want to backup your photos and other important files I suggest you get an external hard drive and use  it with Time Machine.

  • How can I use the photos from iphoto to display in contacts?

    Contacts has a space for a photo.  At one time I knew how to populate this space with photos from iPhoto. Currently my choices are to use an icon or take a pic with the camera.
    How can I add the photos from iPhoto to the choices for populating the "Contacts" image space for individual cards?
