How do I get all photos OUT of iPhoto?

I want to start over with iPhoto, Aperture, and various other programs, and thus I want to get all my photogrpahs out of iPhoto (and Aperture and Lightroom) to a "neutral corner, just a set of folders on the HD where they would be just the original photos without any additional organization or data. Is this possible, and if so, how?
Thanks.

Hi fbx:
1. Do you want to take the originals? or the edited versions?
2. If the edited versions, simply select all and drag them from the iPhoto window to the folder you want them in. You can do the entire library like this, or do it album by album.
3. If the Originals: Select the pics and choose Photos -> Revert to Original. and repeat the above.
4. Alternatively, you can go to home/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals and take the pics from there. However, THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED as mucking about in the iPhoto Library will cause problems with iPhoto. I only mention it as you're talking about reverting to a 'green field' start.
Regards

On Apple TV my photo stream only shows six pictures - how do I get all photos to use as a screen saver. I have reset several times but it still only finds six pictures!!!!

On Apple TV my photo stream only shows six pictures - how do I get all photos to use as a screen saver. I have reset several times but it still only finds six pictures!!!!

I recently got apple tv but the photo stream only seems to show up those photos which I took in September and no others (ie. 20 out of around 100). Any ideas why the earlier photos on my photo stream in ipad don't show up on apple tv?

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.

How can I get all photos from the camera roll onto the photo stream so they will share between iphone and ipad?

How can I get all photos from the camera roll, and all new pictures taken, to get on the photostream so they can share between iphone and ipad?

When turning PhotoStream on with photos available in the Camera Roll, only photos captured by the iPhone or saved on the iPhone are placed in the PhotoStream.
For all photos that were in the Camera Roll prior to turning PhotoStream on, import the photos with your computer and add the photos to your PhotoStream on your computer.

How can I get rejected photos out of LR5 and off the HD?

When I try to deleted rejected photos in LR5 on my iMac, I get a dialog saying they can't be sent to the trash. How can I get unwanted photos out of LR5 and off the hard drive?

Instead of hitting just the delete key, you need to hit ⌘+Del and one of the choices will be to remove from hard drive.

I my harddrive with my photo library went bad, but I have the photos on my ipad, ipod and iphone. How to I get those photos back into iphoto on my macbook?

The external drive with my photo library went bad, but I have the photos on my ipad, ipod and iphone. How to I get those photos back into iphoto on my macbook?

Are the photos you want to send back to your mac on your iPad, iPod, iPhone saved to the camera roll? If you have photos in other albums (not camera roll) share them to the camera roll.
Then connect your device via USB and lauch iPhoto. You will see your device as a camera in iPhoto. Import those photos like you would import from a camera.

How is your external drive formatted? Use Disk Utility to check the volume format. If it is NTFS, you will need to reformat the HDD as exFAT in order to retain universal compatibility (RW to it on both Mac and Windows).

How do I get the photos out of my Blackberry curve 8520 into my Photobucket album?

I never got a USB cable with my Balckberry when I got it from Virgin but I have since bought one. They would not send me one because I have had it for over a year. I need to get my photos out of it cos it's going back to them after my first 2-year contract is up.

Well, I hooked it up to my laptop and new hardware was detected. It ran through several things - including mass storage - and said my Blackberry was installed and ready for use.
There was a message on my Blackberry asking if I wanted to activate mass storage but it said I may lose some media files or something if I did so I clicked on "No".
I then went to Start and My Computer but there was no sign of my Blackberry!
I also looked in All Programmes but there was nothing new on the list.
I'm a bit of a dork about technology - as you will have gathered - but I'd really appreciate more help. I'm keen to learn, at least!

HT1766 How can I get a photo out of the iPhone camera roll to use in an email or another program

I have photos of my car that I took with my iPhone. I'd like to use them for an advertisement to sell the car. How do I get them off the phone or out of the backup folder that iTunes produces when I back up my phone. I'm using a Windows 7 computer.

Thanks, but I figured it out. I just had to find the files in Windows under what would be considered a "drive." Once there, the photos all show up in a folder as JPEG files. Got the ones I needed.

How do i get my photos out of a backup thats in the cloud onto my IOS 8 I phone 5S

Hi,
I just upgraded to a I phone 5S from an I Phone 5. I backed up the I Phone 5 and returned it to Verizon and received the 5S.
I didn't think to worry about doing a photo migration because the I Phone 5S came with IOS 7. What happened was I Tunes went ahead and put IOS 8 on the 5S which is ok but now the 900 + photos that were in my photo stream on my I Phone 5 did not transfer to my IOS 8 I Phone 5S.
BUT...I still have the original backup of the I Phone 5 with all of the pictures on it in I Cloud and a copy of it on my Computer.
Is there a way to get those photos back out of that backup and on to the I Phone 5S or just get them onto my computer? There is also a back up of my original I Phone 5 on my computer also. I always back up all of my devices in 2 places.
Can I use my daughters I Pad Mini running IOS 7 to put that I Phone 5 backup onto to get the pictures back & then restore her I Pad Mini back to a backup I would have created before doing the above or is there another way of doing it. My daughters I Pad Mini is only 16GB and my I Phone 5S is 32GB.
Any Ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I can't replace a lot of those pictures.
Thanks in advance
Steve

Hi..
Thanks for the reply..
My original I Phone 5 was running IOS 6.12
My I phone 5S currently runs IOS 8..When I upgraded it, it had IOS 7 on it which made the I Photo app compatible with everything below IOS 8...( which the photo app is not compatible with ) so I just connected the I Phone 5S to my computer and thinking the new phone had IOS 7 on it that these was nothing to worry about..I thought all 900 + pictures in the photo stream would transfer but somewhere in the process, I Tunes decides to just go and install IOS 8 which requires that you run a " Photo Migration App" to transfer photos from IOS 7 & below. The problem was is that I didn't want IOS 8 on my new 5S so I thought I wouldn't have to do that part..
Anyway the phone emerged with IOS 8 on it and the only photos that remained were the ones that were actually on the phone..The 900 + I had in the stream didn't transfer because the Photos that works on IOS 7 and below isn't compatible with IOS 8..I guess you have to use the photo migration app that comes with IOS 8 & I phone 6..But I didn't ask to upgrade to IOS 8...It just did it on it's own!
I still have the I Phone 5 Back up that I did just before giving it back to Verizon but if I try to restore the I Phone 5S running IOS 8 those photos in the stream will not go back on the phone because IOS 8 isn't compatible with the I Photos" that ran on IOS 7 and below..
So I have an I Pad mini that runs IOS 7..should I try and erase it...and put that I Phone 5 backup on it and pray the photos that were in the stream come back on it so I can transfer them back to my computer...then erase the I pad mini again and restore it using it's original backup that I have on the computer and the in the cloud?
I know this sounds confusing but I'm at a loss as to what to do..This is what I found ...http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201386
but it doesn't help me..

How do i get all photos that ive got in my photo stream to i cloud and then put on to new device?

Can any1 help me i want to know how to get all my photos from my photo stream to i cloud and then find them and put them back on my new iphone?? Ive always had on i cloud and synced via wifi but i cant find them anywhere!??

Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device, it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.
If this is what seems to be happening here, then one solution would be to create a shared photostream album on your old phone using the older photos that haven't transferred to your new phone.
You should regularly save your photos to a computer, photo stream will only save photos to your computer if instructed to do so and then only when iPhoto is open.

How do I get my photos back from iPhoto?

I updated my MacBook Pro but it froze half way through installing so I turned the MacBook off, when it came back on I had a problem with the software and had to install it properly again. Doing that caused me to loose all my files originally on the laptop, i had to set it up like a brand new.
All my photos were stored on my iPhoto but when I downloaded the app and opened it up none of my photos I had were there. Is there any way to get all my photos back at all? There's a lot of photos I've lost because of the update freezing on my MacBook.

If you backed it up with Time Machine, click here and follow the instructions.
If you backed it up by creating a bootable clone, open the Pictures folder of your home folder on the clone and drag the library back.
If you backed it up by drag-copying, proceed as if it was a bootable clone, except that the path may be different.
If you backed it up in another way, check the product's documentation.

How do I get all Photos from iMac to MBP

My iPhoto album has several hundred pictures in several albums. While on the road, I'd like to put them on CD's or DVD's. Right now they are all on my iMac and I'd like to move them over to my MBP which I have with me all of the time. It makes more sense to be able to do the disc media on the road rather than at home. Any suggestions how I can pair the iMac to the MBP in order to get the pictures onto the MBP would be an enormous help?

Join them with a Firewire cable and then restart the iMac while holding down T so it Boots into Target Disc mode, then it will appear on the MacBook Pro Desktop as a regular volume. Then just drag the iPhoto Library across from one to the other (this would replace any Library on the MBP so if you need that rename it first)

II downloaded the OS X version 10.9 and my iPhoto version 9.2.3 will n.ot open. I get a message that I can't use this version of the application I photo with this version of OSX. What do I do now and how do I get the photos out of the old version?

I downloaded the OS X version 10.9 and my Iphoto version 9.2.3 will not open. I get a message that I can't use this version of the application I photo with this version of OS X. How do I upgrade to a i photo that will run on 10.9. Do I purchase a new program or can I do just an download?

Check the "Purchases" page in the Mac App Store and see if there is a more recent version there already waiting for you.

How do you get all 4TB out of an internal hard drive being used as an external hard drive on a new Mac Pro?

Currently I am only able to access 1.8TB. I am sure the fix is easy. Pleae help. Using a startech USB device to mount.
Thank you.

I expect Kappy is correct. The controller in the enclosure is limiting the size.
You may need to buy a more modern enclosure.
