How do I save my pictures from iPhoto on my time capsule and not on my computer to save space?

I have over 10,000 pictures in iphoto library. I am getting an error constantly that my start up disk is low on space. I have a time capsule but how do I get my photo's from my iphoto library to ONLY save on the time capsule so that it doesn't take up my space?

Is the Time Capsule used for Time Machine backups ?
If so, then it is not a good idea to use the Time Capsule for the iPhoto library or any files other than the Time Machine backups.

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.

Celina

I need to save some pictures from iPhoto to a SDHC photo card for a digital frame and was wondering if there is a way to shrink or compress file size for each picture as I have already cropped the pictures? Thank you

Yes, you do this when you export the images from the Library.
File -> Export
in the Size section, you don't need images larger than the frame size, so you can specify that and in the Jpeg Quality you can select the amount of compression used.

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.

How can I download my pictures from my Ipad (ios 8.1.3) to to my computer (windows 7) either directly thru a USB cable or indirectly with a SD card? I have lost important pictures on the computer. Most of them are intact on my I Pad. I am aware that I-Cloud is an option, but would rather do it another way.

use the Windows Photo import with the lightning-to-USB cable.

Can i get the time capsule to automatically back up my file from my Mac Book Air but have certain files which are only stored on the time capsule and not the computer? Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?

You can, but how are you going to back up those other files? When (not if) your Time Capsule fails, you risk losing them. See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for details.

Not sure what you mean. You have to connect a computer, either via Ethernet cable or wirelessly, to read or write to the disk.

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.

HT201250 Can one view pics from iPhoto application in time capsule backup?

I am attempting to use my time capsule as a general backup disk for all my pics and movies in iPhoto, to then be able to erase all pics from my iMac. Can one view iPhoto pics from the backup time capsule?

You cannot "see" the images in your iPhoto Library on the Time Capsule. You can only restore the complete library.
If you erase the iPhoto Library from your Mac, then iPhoto will not be able to find the iPhoto Library on the Time Capsule
Do NOT ever erase the images from your Mac.
If you do this, the only version that you will have will be on the Time Capsule. What will happen to your images when....not if....the Time Capsule has a problem?
In addition, Time Machine backs up the changes on your Mac. If you delete the iPhoto Library from your Mac, then Time Machine will delete the backup....and you will not know when this will occur.

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 you delete a picture from iPhoto?

I have recently purchased a MacBook Pro and just added some pictures from an SD card to iPhoto to see how it works. However I can't work out how to delete a photo from the album. I only want to remove one so how do I do it?

Albums are logical things holding pointers to the photo in the library
Deleting a photo from an album does just that it removes the photo from the album
To delete it from the computer select it in an event, press the delete key, empty the iPhoto trash (iPhoto menu ==> empty trash) and empty the system trash
