How do I save photos to CD/backup HD within their albums in iphoto 8.1.2?

I used to save photos in their intact albums by using the "Originals" folder. Now I don't seem to have one with iPhoto 8.1.2. So if I drag a bunch of albums to a CD to burn, say, they just go in as filenames, not within the albums I took pains to make. How can I fix this? Thanks for any help!

Thanks for your answer. I guess I'm not being clear--I mean that I want the albums to remain intact, not just the photos. . .so, for example, if I have photos grouped as "Christmas 2009" in one album, and "Thanksgiving 2009" in another, that is how I want them saved. With the way that you describe, I still wind up with a list of filenames, not two, nice, clean albums.

  • How do you save photos from import or Photo Stream to an album?

    How do you save photos from import or photo stream to an album?  I have a MacBook Air (which keeps telling me my start-up disk is full) and I am trying to organize photos so there aren't duplicates and triples.  I have photos in events, last import, photos and albums....I feel like they are all taking up space.  If I move a photo from photo stream to an album, then delete the photo from photo steam its deleted from the album.  That doesn't make sense to me.  There should be a way to clean up photo stream, and events, and last import by putting photos into albums.  Even more bizarre; I imported photos from my 4S, and only a fraction of them transferred over. 
    I am completely lost.  Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you!

    Sarah,
    Only the photos you are seeing in the events and the Photo Stream will take up space. iPhoto stores each photo only one. After you import it, it will be assigned to one event.
    Then you can use it in many albums and projects. Using the photo this way will only reference the one single copy of the photo in the event. The albums don't store the photos and do not require additional space. If you delete a photo from an event, it will be removed from all albums that have been using the this photos.
    What you are seing are not actually duplicate photos but different ways to access the same photos.
    The "Last event" is the same event as the last one you imported. It is there for a quick access to your recently imported photos.  Photos is a quick access to all photos in your library as an endless stream of photos. These are also no duplicates.
    So if you want to save space and delete photos, do that by browsing your events. Deleting a photo from an event will delete the original image file and remove the photo from all albums, books, and other products. You have only duplicate photos, if you are seing the same photo twice in an event.
    Even more bizarre; I imported photos from my 4S, and only a fraction of them transferred over.
    That is a different problem, but it may be related to to fact that you need to free space.
    If you get a warning, that the system needs space, don't do anything but update the backup of your mac and move files to an external disk to free space.
    It is not save to keep working, when the system is running out of space.
    How much free space do you have? Anything below 15GB free space is really critical.

  • How best to save photos?  I want to protect my photos (15,000 of them) by putting them on a portable drive and storing it in my safety deposit box.  Is it better to export them all, drag the Photo file, use Time Machine – or are there better alternatives?

    I am a 'newby' to the discussion world.  Hope I am doing this right.  How best to save photos?  I want to protect my photos (15,000 of them) by putting themon a portable drive and storing it in my safety deposit box.  Is it better to export them all, dragthe Photo file, use Time Machine – or are there better alternatives?

    Welcome to the discussions! You can use Time Machine and I would also recommend for you to manually copy your iPhoto Library (on your Pictures folder) to an external drive/thumb drive so you can restore it from there should you loose your TM backup. Exporting them from iPhoto would not preserve the libraries' integrity neither your originals, should you choose to edit them in iPhoto.

  • How do I save photos from email to the photo library?

    How do I save photos from email to the photo library? I've seen an online demo of users that hold their finger or thumb over the image for a few seconds and a "save photo" window option appears. That doesn't work on my 6-month old iphone. It's version 1.1.4 (4a102) ???? Help! Anybody with an answer?

    Never mind. I figured out the 2.0 update. My system wasn't updating I-tunes...and the I-phone update option window was hidden behind some other system information. I figured it out. The download, install and re-synch took about an hour. Lots of horror stories out there about people trying to activate their new I-phones. Glad this worked for me!

  • How do I save photos from email directly into correct album of iphoto?

    how can I save photos to the correct album in iphoto directly from email?  I've been emailed photos I can't figure out how to save.  Thanks!

    You can drag a photo from the email window onto the Album in the left hand pane of iPhoto and it will be added to that Album.  The photo will be in its own Event but will also be in the Album you dragged it to.

  • How do I save photos from messenger

    How can I save photos from messenger

    I'm sorry, but are you referring to another app other than the native Messages App? I'm thinking that is what you are referring to, since I'm not aware of any setting like that in the native Messages app. If that is the case, it could be that you do not have Messages set to access the Camera Roll in Privacy. The app may not have access to the Camera Roll. Check that in Settings>Privacy and see if the Messages app is listed there. I'm guessing that you are referring to Facebook Messenger?

  • How do I save photos that have been synced to my Ipad2, so that they do not get deleted when I sync with a different photo file on my computer.

    How do I save photos that have been synced to my Ipad2, so that they do not get deleted when I sync with a different photo foder on my computer (Pc win7).

    Place that first folder of photos that you synced to the iPad within the main folder of photos that you sync from and select them to sync again. You can place any number of subfolders within the main folder that you sync from and select those folders to sync. Just "tick"(select) the folders in the photos tab in iTunes.

    When finished editing click File->Save/Save As and you can either overwrite the original file or rename it and save as new file keeping original intact.

  • HT1229 How do you transfer photos to external backup and keep the photos in events with event name or with description name. Each time I have tried to transfer them they only transfer with a jpg number so you don't know what photos are what.

    How do you transfer photos to external backup and keep the photos in events with event name or with description name. Each time I have tried to transfer them they only transfer with a jpg number so you don't know what photos are what. When you have several thousand photos it is difficult to determined what is what.
    Why does iPhoto have the ability to put photos in events and to give them descriptions if it doesn't transfer this info with the photo. I want to back my photos up to an external drive.

    The simplest way to achieve what you want is to back up the iPhoto Library. That will get everything.
    You sem to be exporting from iPhoto to the Finder. The Finder does not have the same organisation capabilities as iPhoto. If you're going to do that you need to understand some of the differences between the two.
    Event Name will become  Folder Name.
    'Description Name' I guess is the Title you give the Photo
    Jpeg Number is the File Name assigned by your camera.
    So: File -> Export
    Set your Kind to Jpeg
    Select your preferred Quality
    Check the Boxes at 'Titles and Descriptions' and Location Information
    Under FIlename select 'Use Title'
    Click on Export. In the Next Window choose a New Folder as your export destination and then Name that as you prefer

    You're question is very vague, but I'll guess that you want to export from iPhoto (file -> export) to a folder on the desktop and drag that to the flashdrive.

    You cannot.
    Why are you opposed to paying for some software to help do what you want?
    You can restore the backup to your iPhone then sync the photos to your computer.

  • I have yet  to update my iPhone 4 to the latest iOS software. How do I save photos to my iCloud photo stream that were taken before I activated my iCloud account and photo stream ?

    I have yet  to update my iPhone 4 to the latest iOS software. How do I save photos to my iCloud photo stream that were taken before I activated my iCloud account and photo stream ?

    You have a couple of options:
    Open the photos one at a time and take a screenshot.  This will add a new low resolution copy of the photo to the camera roll, which will then upload to your photo stream;
    Email the photos a few at a time to yourself, then save the attached photos to your camera roll.  This will add a copy of the photo at full resolution to your camera roll and upload to photo stream;
    Use an app like PhotoSync, which will allow you to wirelessly transfer copies of all your old photos to your computer all at once.  Then delete these photos from your camera roll and use PhotoSync to transfer them back from your computer to your camera roll.  These will be the original resolution and will upload to your photo stream.  (You need an app like this because iTunes will not transfer photos back to your camera roll, where they must be in order to add to your photo stream.)
