How Do I Move Folders of Photos to Different Hard Disk?

LR 5.2
Windows 7 Pro
How do I move numerous folders and subfolders of photos to a different hard drive?
The hard drive I want to move to shows up in the LR Library Left Panel under Folders, but I can't drag and drop the photos from the C Drive to this D drive.
I have been working with LR for about a month; and I've uploaded about 2000 photos I have taken since about a year ago; organized by folders for year and date. I just realized LR has been putting almost all my photos on my C Drive. There is one folder of photos in LR on the D Drive. I don't recall how I got that folder to go on the D Drive while the rest are on the C Drive.
I don't want any data on my C Drive. I use my C Drive primarily for my Operating Systems and applications.

I am trying something else now.
I am trying to move the files in LR.     Using the Import Window, I select Move.    I can see the photos, but they are grayed out, and I can't "Check" them.     Weird.
2nd wierd thing: I can make the Destination the D drive.   But the folder on my actual D Drive is My Pictures.     In the Destination panel, LR doesn't see "My Pictures."    It does however, see a folder named "Pictures" and that contains subfolders for the last 14 years of my photos.
I do have 14 subfolders with 14 years of photos in them on the D drive, but in a folder named My Photos, not Pictures.    There is no folder named Pictures on that drive.
It looks like LR has arbitrarily, on it's own, renamed one of my folders (and locate in it's new alphabetic position amongst all the other folders at the same level of heirarchy) in it's display. How is that possible?
That being said, the Import window is grayed out and I am not being allowed to proceed.

How can I move an emailed photo to my hard drive?

I am using yahoo mail on Firefox. I want to save an emailed photo.

Ah! Bootable clone!! I don't think that you can use a compressed image for that, i.e., the system can't uncompress itself on the fly. And Disk Utility's images aren't bootable per-se.
Try using SuperDuper ( http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/22126 ). I have over 6 bootable images of past and present startup volumes, spread over as many partitions in three external firewire HD's, created with that program. It is usually much faster to create a complete backup that way. Also a good reason to add an extra drive to the system, expecially since they've dropped so much in price. Go for a 500GB, 750GB, or the big 1TB whopper, stick it into one of your G5's bays (if available), partition it and clone away.
If all the partitions are available to the system, you can select which to boot from by pressing the Option key before the "bong" sound at startup.

How do you create folders in photo's

In an IPOD4 (or IPhone for that matter) how do you create folders within Photo's to segregate your pictures in to meanigfull collections, rather than just random bunches.
Thanks

Bummer - seems like wasted effort - to move all the photo's to a computer, delete then from the IPOD/IPHONE, organize them, and then move back to IPOD/IPHONE. Oh well, is what it is.
Thanks

How do I move folders and albums in iPhoto on my MacBook Pro to my ipad?

How do I move folders and albums in iPhoto on my MacBook Pro to a new iPad Air?

To sync photos, connect your iPad to your Mac and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your Mac's iTunes (you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo albums/folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page.
You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.

How can I add folders of photos from pc to ipad4

I store photos from the internet in separate folders {depending on the subject} on my pc laptop. I want to move the folders to my ipad4 keeping in the same separate folders. Is it possible to do this, here's waht I have done so far
we downloaded dropbox and then selected one of our folders from the laptop and transfered that from dropbox to ipad dropbox. there are now 400 photos in the ipad dropbox. In the ipad photos app, I've created 6 albums. How do I move the 400 pictures from dropbox on the ipad into a specific album. We tried moving just one photo from ipad dropbox into the photos app and it created its on album called camera roll. how can I move the pictures into a different album other than camera roll. This is just one of my folders I have a total of about 5000 photos on my laptop that I want to move into different albums. Do I need to buy a better app than the ipad one, this one *****. I want to be able to move an entire folder instead of each individual photo as one folder has 3000 pictures in it.
Any help would be appreciated.

This is where the process gets a little more involved with a few more steps.
There is no way to place a camera roll photo into a folder that was synced from your computer. You have to import it to the computer, place it into the sub folder of your choice on the computer, then sync again with iTunes.
There are several ways that you can import photos to your computer from the iPad. You can read about those here.
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your ...
There are apps that allow you to send your photos to the computer via WiFi. If you are interested ....
Wifi Photo transfer apps for iPad
One last item ....this will probably not apply to the way that you manage your photos and folders, but just so that you know .... albums that are created directly on the iPad are really only shortcuts to the actual photos that are on the device. When you create folders on the iPad itself, it does not contain a copy of the photo - merely a shortcut to that photo that allows it to appear in that folder.

How do I move folders with subfolders (containing pdf files) from my pc to ipad 3 to use in adobe reader

How do I move folders with subfolders (containing pdf files) from my pc to ipad 3 to use in adobe reader

You need to connect the ipad to the computer and open itunes.
Open the ipad and go into settings, icloud. Tap on "Documents and Data" and turn that on to sync to icloud.
Now go back into itunes and it should pick up your ipad already and tap on the ipad connection. There will pop up some taps on the center screen for sync options. Go thru each one (summary, info, apps, music, tv shows, podcasts, itunesU, books and photos).....you want to click on "Books".
To the left click the arrow next to the ipad under Devices.
The arrow will point down and open the sub menu, click on the "Books" sub menu here. You will see in the center window current books, PDF currently on the ipad.
Next go to the top and click on "File" (file, edit, view, controls, store, advanced, help) and click on "add folder to library"...... it will bring up your computer file system in a seperate window. File the folder your looking for and add it. This should get the folder set up to sync onto ipad thru itunes.
For additional ease in doing things on the middle window of itunes click back on summary, scroll a bit and you will see "Backup", click on "Backup to icloud". Then under "Options", check "Sync with this ipad over WiFi".
This will allow you to wirelessly sync your itunes and your ipad without having the ipad connected to the computer with a cable. You just have to be on the same wireless network.
If in itunes you add something like a pdf or photo, when your on your ipad open the Ibooks or Iphoto app and it wull update the file system to match your itunes account. The sync with with anything you do in itunes and it works the other way around also. If you save files, photos, books on the ipad, using the ipad (app store purchases, games, books)....the ipad will update to itunes next time your on the same network.
FYI - both the ipad and the computer have to be on.
Itunes updates (changes you make thru itunes), does not need itunes to be open for update content to update to the ipad. This is because it updates to the cloud.
Updates from the ipad to itunes will need itunes open on the computer. So it can sync with the cloud info.

How do I move all the photos from the i-photo library on one account to the i-photo library on another account?

I have recently bought a new mac mini running Lion, and yesterday I migrated an account off an older machine running Tiger.
I want to delete the older account from this machine as it is causing some problems with i-cloud, but I want to transfer the photos first and add them to a different account on the new computer.
So my question is How do I move all the photos from the i-photo library on one account to the i-photo library on another account?

Copy the iPhoto library from the old Mac to the Desktop of the new one. Then download the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager, which is now compatible with Mt. Lion, and use it to merge the two libraries into a new, third library. This will preserve the two libraries in case the merged library isn't to your liking.
Here are screenshots of iPLM's coping and merging preferences:
When you're satisfied that the new, merged libraray is complete and working OK you can delete the two earlier libraries.

Hello SusieMacBook,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
You can definitely get these photos into iPhoto if they are the correct file type (JPEG, GIF, TIFF, and PNG). The way you import the photo attachments depends on where you check your e-mail. The following article is for iPhoto 11 (but should work for previous versions as well). It outlines how to import photos from Mac Mail, other e-mail applications, and web browsers, so just look at the section that applies to you.

I hope this helps!

How do I create folders in photos?

How do I create folders in photo category?

It depends on the source for your photos. If you are using a photo application, create the albums you want using the photo app and select those to sync. If your are choosing a pictures folder, and you want images to appear in separate photo albums on your device, create folders inside the main folder and drag images into the new folders.

How can I move all my bookmarks from different Firefox profiles into one area to organize them and then place them into the different Firefox profiles?

How can I move all my bookmarks from different Firefox profiles (would like to move whole bookmark folders at once if possible) into one area to organize them and then place them into the different Firefox profiles? This is all under one window user account, I am using windows 8.1. Even if you have information on how to do it on a different windows, it may still be helpful. Thanks for any input you have.

Just a note about the difference between these two things:
* "export" and "import" use an ancient HTML document format that all browsers can understand. When you import bookmarks, Firefox may place them into an Imported Bookmarks folder, or into Unsorted Bookmarks. This does not displace existing bookmarks, and Firefox does not automatically remove duplicates.
* "backup" and "restore" use a more comprehensive JSON data file, which contains extra information about your bookmarks (such as tags) not contained in the traditional export file. HOWEVER, a restore completely replaces all existing bookmarks, so the restore feature cannot be used to merge in a set of additional bookmarks.
Related support articles:
* [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]
* [[Import Bookmarks from a HTML file]]
* [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
Some users find the disk-based Windows Favorites folder a convenient way to organize bookmarks. If you do, too, and you do not need to preserve tags on your bookmarks, you could export each profile's bookmarks to HTML and import them all into IE11. Organize them in the Windows Favorites folder, then export from IE11 to HTML and import that file into each Firefox profile. See: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/add-view-organize-favorites].
