How do I move pictures from 1 offline folder to another offline folder?

My Elements 8 pictures are on the root directory of a 16 gig usb drive.  I would like to move them to a new folder on that same drive.  I tried to do it in the folder view by selecting the pics in the root folder and dragging them to the new folder.  That action was not allowed.  I could drag the pics to a C drive folder, but not to a usb drive folder.
I then used the move function.under the File menu.  It did the move, but changed the name of each item by adding a "-1" to it.  And for each picture it added 1 or 2 small new files to the new folder.  I then had to erase the small new files because they caused me to run out of space.
How can I easily move items from one external folder to another on my usb drive?

Thanks for your response... 
I tried the Move function.  It did not work very well either. 
I successfully moved several groups of pictures, but PSE added a "-1" to all the files it created in the folder I was moving the items to, and it created 1 or 2 small jpg files for each of the files I moved.  This caused my usb drive to fill up and I had to erase all the extra files.  Eventually the "Move" failed in the last group of pictures I tried to move.  It copied all of them to the new folder, but failed as it tried to delete them from the original folder.  Thus, I now have 2 copies of those picture files on my usb drive.
By adding the "-1" to the file names, PSE does not appear to recognize folders on a usb drive.  And I  have no idea why it creates the extra small copies of the files...
Any other ideas?

    For just a few export them out of Library A via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with Kind = Original and import them into Library B.
    However, this will not include any edits or metadata (keywords, titles, etc.) that you've added.
    To get the original image, any edits and all metadata, keywords, titles, descriptions, places, etc., you'll need the paid version of  iPhoto Library Manager.  It can copy albums or events from one library to another and keep those items I mentioned earlier with the photos.

    How do I move pictures from one iphone to another?

    Photos in the Camera Roll are included with the iPhone's backup. You can transfer the backup from one iPhone to another which will include all data included with the backup.
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your computer. After importing from one iPhone, the photos can be transferred to another iPhone via the iTunes sync process.
    Photos in the PhotoStream on one iPhone running iOS 6 can be made available on another iPhone running iOS 6 by creating a shared PhotoStream album, or if the same iCloud account is accessed on both iPhones, the PhotoStream album will be identical on each iPhone.

    Pictures can appear in any number of albums.
    To move from one album to another, add the picture to the new album and then right click on the picture, select Remove from album and then select the album you want to remove it from.
    If you need further help, please let us know which version of Photoshop Elements you are using and which operating system you are running on.

  • How do you move pictures from one catalog to another?

    How do you move pictures from one catalog to another?  I have just got the program and have moved pictures into the default catalog. I have now created several new catalogs and want to move pics from the default into the new catalogs. I don't see this answer in the general help or my "dummies" book.

    It's not a good idea to create multiple catalogs. For one thing, this defeats the purpose of the Organizer as a way to search for and find your photos; the search can only operate within a single catalog. Also, there are no functions in PSE that work across multiple catalogs. And even though you can "manually" combine the catalogs if you so desire, you lose information such as collection/album membership, stacks, version sets, creations and a few other things.

    Please help

    Sync to computer then from there to other device.  Photo stream can be used to sync between devices, but that has to be set up BEFORE the photos are taken.

    How do I move pictures from old iphone to new iphone

    If you want to transfer your camera roll photos, along with text messages and other data and settings from your old phone to your new one, back up the old phone then restore the backup to your new one (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2109).  If you only want to transfer the photos, import them from your old phone to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083, then put them in a folder and sync them to your new phone by selecting the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.  (Be aware that photos synced to your phone using iTunes can only be deleted later by syncing them off again.  They can't be deleted directly on the phone.)

    Do you have a SD slot? If not you get a USB to SD memory card adpater at the computer/office/online store and use that.
    It appears as a drive on your machine and you can use Export from iPhoto or drag and drop methods too.
    Make sure you backup
