How do I save albums, events in tact from iPhoto to external drive to comply with iCloud limits? Thx

How do I save albums, events in tact from iPhoto to external drive to comply with iClouds limits? (iMac Lion, need to remove 280gb of photos>

Not sure if I understand correctly?
Do you want to move 280 GB of photos from iPhoto on your Mac to an external hard drive?
If that is the case, iCloud has nothing to do with it. You can move your iPhoto library to an external drive to free up space on your internal drive.

If that is not what you're trying to do, please rephrase your question. Thanks.

  • How to import photos w/ comment sin tact from iPhoto 5 to iPhoto 8?

    Hi,
    I have a bunch of photos in iPhoto 5 with comments that I'd like to import into iPhoto 8. However, I seem to lose the comments when I do this. Is there a way to keep the comments?
    I tried to "Import" from within iPhoto 8. May next try to import the folder of files next.
    Thanks!
    --Ted

    I'm afraid there is no way to do this because iPhoto 5 had no way to write the comments to the file.
    The best you can is is
    Make a copy of the Library (You need to do this because in the next step we'll update the Library and v5 will no longer open it.
    Open the copy with iPhoto 08. This will update the Library.
    Use iPhoto Library Manager to move the files. versions and all metadata to the other library.
    Or, export the files, (File -> Export) and check the box at 'Titles and Descriptions' and then import them to 08.

  • How can you get a imac to boot from install disc(external drive)

    It tries for a while then says you have inserted a disc mas osx does not recognize.

    sirmark1:
    Thanks for the clarification. It helps to get a better grasp of the situation.
    If you have not already done so, try this:
    • With computer shut off insert disk in external optical drive.
    • Start up computer and immediately after chime hold down Option key.
    • If CD shows up select it and click the straight arrow.
    However, the version of Mail you get from Jaguar will be the earliest version of Mail, whereas the version of Mail in Panther is 1.3.1. You can download 10.3.9 Combo Update and either install the update, or try to extract Mail from the Combo update using Pacifist
    Hope one of those work for you.

  • How do I move photos from iPhoto to external drive as jpegs (iphoto 7.1.5)

    I'm running out of space on my mac so wanted to move all my photos to an external drive. When I export my iphoto library though, they're not saved as individual jpeg files, which is what I want. I basically want to be able to plug the drive into any USB port and see my photos.
    Please help me!
    You used to be able to find the folders and drag and drop... I can't seem to do this anymore...?!

    If you want to move your iPhoto Library:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library 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.
    If you want to simply export your photos, that's what the File -> Export command is for.

  • HT5129 using apeture and moving photos selected or event to apeture from iphoto

    how do I move an event to apeture from iphoto? They will not stay open together for me to drag? or slideshow or a photo, anything that may help?

    If you're using iPhoto 11 and Aperture 3 there's no need to move anything. Just open the Library with your preferred app.

  • How can I save my iMovie Project to a DVD or Flash Drive which can be played on a PC and any DVD player

    I have an iMac, purchased in January 2011. How can I save an iMovie project to a DVD or Flash Drive which can be played on a PC or any DVD player

    I will give you a basic primer, not going to get to in depth, as far as parameters, size of project, or the storage size of your usb flash drive, etc.
    1. you have your finished iMovie project. Under iMovie>Share menu. Choose export using quicktime.
    2. make Movie self contained. This way your Mov, Mvi, etc files will be part of the movie and it can play without having to reference the events, because it is actually there.
    3. so, now on your desktop  ( or any where else set up quicktime to save your file) you will see a quicktime file.
         Drag & Drop that file on to the icon of your USB Flash Drive, etc.
    4. Details that I omitted because I admit I am not well versed. Most Likely that quicktime file is larger than your USB Flash Drive. You have to use one of quicktime compression work flows, also if you open the just created quicktime file. It will open quicktime player and under the File>Export you have to options. I have a Movie that was 42GB 1080P, I exported it as a 720P, so it would still be playable on a large screen and now the new file was less than 2.5GB.
    5. Oh, no i just realized that the file should be playable on a PC, as long as the PC has quicktime for windows installled and you left that USB formated at MS DOS as it came originally, or a PC will not recognize it. Will it open up on your Blu-Ray Player that has a USB port, not sure. Since there is no menu. but, perhaps just pushing play will start movie.
    Hope this is of some help.

  • How can i save my individual playlist on itunes on my external hard drive because i want to buy a laptop and install itunes and move all my music and playlist thats on my desktop to my laptop and almost all my music is from a bunch of cd's i own

    Hello ryane84
    The easiest and most efficient way to copy your music is to follow the steps under the External drive section. Make sure that you have organized the iTunes library first before you copy it over. Then put the copied iTunes folder in the same Music folder on your computer.

  • How do I save and import my bookmarks from another hard drive? When I try to open the installed Firefox on the old drive, it (obviously) opens a browser from the new main drive, free of bookmarks. Is there a way I can save the bookmarks on the old drive w

    How do I save and import my bookmarks from another hard drive? When I try to open the installed Firefox on the old drive, it (obviously) opens a browser from the new main drive, free of bookmarks. Is there a way I can save the bookmarks on the old drive without opening a browser?
    The guts of my computer were rearranged and I got a new main hard drive. My old one is still in there and I can get stuff from it, but when I go to the Mozilla folder on the old one, I can't figure out if there's anything I can do to get all my bookmarks from that drive to my new one, where Firefox is newly installed.

    If you open Firefox then Firefox will always use the default profile folder as found via profiles.ini on your system drive.
    You either need to import the file in your current default profile or copy the file to your current profile folder while Firefox is closed.
    Firefox 3 stores the bookmarks and the browser history in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/places.sqlite places.sqlite] and no longer creates an HTML backup by default.
    There are also (five) JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder within the Firefox profile folder.
    You can either copy the file places.sqlite to your [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] or import the most recent JSON backup from the bookmarkbackups folder of that old profile.
    See:
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Backing_up_and_restoring_bookmarks_-_Firefox
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    "Application Data" in XP/Win2K and "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders.
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
    Go to: Control Panel > Folder Options > "View" tab > under "Hidden files and folders", select "Show hidden files and folders".
    You may want to un-check the box "Hide extensions for known file types" to see the file extensions of all files.

  • How can I save a book in projects on a separate hard drive

    How can I save a book in projects on a separate hard drive?

    You can not save "just a book"
    The book is just entried in the iPhoto database and the only way to move its location is ot move the entire iPhoto library
    You can make a special library just for the book so you have a smaller library to archive - see Old Toad's tutorial #9

  • How can I save the .mp4 files downloaded from internet to ipad memory so that I don't have to download everytime to view them again

    How can I save the .mp4 files downloaded from internet to ipad memory so that I don't have to download everytime to view them again. Also they might remove them from internet so I can't rely on the bookmark to them.

    I'm trying to send home movies to my 10 year old nephew who lives across the country. He doesn't have a computer. He has an iPod touch. His parents have computers. But I don't want everything I ever try to have him do result in "you need your parent's computer for this." It's getting really embarrassing. I have converted my family over to Apple computers but now they want to buy iPhones, iPads, and iPods even though I tell them to go Android. It took a decade to convert them away from windows now I'm trying to keep them away from these freedom limited iOS devices and they won't listen. Then it becomes my responsibility to make their iPads print to their fancy pre-airprint color laser jet printers, get home movies onto them, and countless other things. It's driving me nuts.
    I have converted these files to a format that the iOS devices will play directly off of dropbox. Now, how do I get the infernal devices to save it instead of play it?
