  • How do I move the pictures from iphoto to my desktop?

    I just imported my pictures to iphoto but am trying to put them on a website.  How do i do that?

    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.    3.b.
    b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • How do I move my pictures from iphoto on my mac book to iphoto on my new Desktop?

    I am not sure what how to transfer all my pictures from iphoto on my old mac book to my new desktop computer. Any help would be appreicated.

    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

    Sindbad. A suggestion, to let us know all the specifics of your machine: go the the help menu, and select System Info...
    Copy the contents, and paste it in an answer there.
    You might want to remove your serial number.
    Thanks to that we will know: the exact version of Photoshop, your memory, where Photoshop is installed, the graphic card and its drivers, and also if you are using third party plug-ins.
    Some other users reported that when launching Photoshop holding down the shift key (this disables the plug-ins), he was able to see the images.
    The solution in that case is to search for updated plug-ins (or to report the plug-in manufacturers that their plug-ins causes issues in Photoshop.

    Can anyone please tell me how I can transfer a photo from iPhoto or the Desktop onto my Samsung Galaxy Ace GT S5830i phone ? The phone won't connect to Kies.  I've uninstalled Kies.  I've tried with Bluetooth and USB cable; all to no avail. I'm running Mavericks on a Mac.  Many thanks in anticipation,  Derek.

    Unfortunately, the rest of your query - i.e. - getting it from the desktop to that phone is one more for a Samsung forum.

  • How can I copy a picture from Iphoto to a text document?  Currently when I drag and drop the picture is truncated.

    hello Apple community.
    How can I copy a picure from Iphoto to a blank text document(not Word, but text doc)? Currently when I do this, the picture is truncated. This is more difficult than using a PC! there has to be a better way to copy pictures or share pictures!
    Thank you,

    Hello,
    thank you for your reply.
    I am using the TextEdit on Mac as I do not have Word. When I paste an Iphoto, the picture is truncated horizontially, so you only see part of the picture.
    Yes, the picture is small enough to fit on the page.
    Regards,

  • How do I put just pictures from iphoto to idvd to make a dvd?

    Okay. I had a lot of trouble today. I wanted to get pictures from iphoto to a dvd. So I did that by going to iphoto then share then burn. Well, that worked on my blu ray. The pictures would come up sorta like iphoto (the rolls and everything) But my videos did not work however. But I figured out that they were .mpg and they need converted. But I heard that what I did (using iphoto) won't work on reg. dvd players but for some reason it works on my blu ray. Anyways, I heard that using idvd will work. How do I get my pictures over to idvd and burn it to a dvd? I tried doing this once but the themes were what was messing me up. The pictures would show up in a theme and I don't want that just the pictures. Any advice, tips, etc would be appreciated!

    Hi lace66
    Welcome to apple discussions. You may wish to pose the very same question to the iPhoto Forum also since I'm not 100% certain if any of the following apples to iPhoto 6 => iDvd. It's really a question for that particular forum. It's been months since I've worked in earlier versions of iLife. However, w/in ilife'08 as well as the latest iLife version '09; you could do it easily like this:
    click here
    Essentially you simply select the photos you want within iPhoto, go to the top menu where it says "Share" => Send to iDvd. Or (another option) you could burn your photos directly one step down on the drop down menu where it says "Burn" (directly below "send to iDvd") if I'm not mistaken.
    Hope this helps but if not just come on back.

  • I cannot move pictures from iphoto to the desktop

    I have a MacBookPro.
    I cannot take pictures from iphoto and then drag them somewhere else, whether its on the desktop, in a folder or on a usb key: they do not want to more out of iphoto.
    I have tried to put my computer to sleep and wake it up: it doesnt work.
    I have tried to 'export' the photographs: it doesnt work.
    I cannot afford to loose any of these photographs therefore reseting my iphoto is not an option.
    help please!
    Thank You

    You do not ever directly access the contents of the iPHoto library - use the media browser - in the lower left of the insert window under media ==> photos ==> iPhoto
