How do i transfer iPhotos onto a thumb drive using yosemite

how do i transfer iPhotos onto a thumb drive using yosemite.? thank you

If you are referring to the iPhotos Library do the following:
Open Finder and navigate to where your iPhotos Library is, by default it's in the Pictures folder
Control click the iPhotos Library and select Copy
Now navigate to your thumb drive and control click, select Paste item
If you are referring to transfer the actual photos, you will need to export all of them from iPhoto to your thumb drive.

  • How do I transfer iphoto to an external drive?

    Hi Apple support communities,
    I know there are plenty of discussions out there but I am still confused.
    My start up disk is almost full so I need to transfer my photos into an external drive. I copied iphoto library to my hard drive and deleted all photos in my mac air's iphoto. But when I wanted to test if the transfer was done correctly, I had to relanch iphoto on my mac air ( restoring all photos into my mac air).
    So I am now worried that if I just transfer the current most updated iphoto library to my hard drive and empty my mac air's iphoto, in the future i will have new photos in my mac air, but when I want to revisit my older photos from my external hard drive I would have to relaunch the old version of iphoto which will wipe out the newer stuff. What should I do?
    Cheers

    I'm not sure I understand you but this is how to move an 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.
    You do not have to move the images back to your computer to view them. Note step 3.
    Regards

  • How do i transfer iphoto from external hard drive?

    I had a macbook, i purchased a macbook pro.
    I put my 32K photos and i photo on an external harddrive "Seagate goflex desk 2tb")
    This went well, on this external harddrive all files/ photos and events/subfolders are stored perfectly just like original.
    Now...
    I want to bring all of the photos and events/subfolders, to my macbook pro from the external harddrive. I have viewed them on my pro, but i have not brought them over.  I have read all the problems, so i want to make sure i do it exactly right when i transfer in, keeping all of the folders etc intack.
    Please give me very specific instructions.
    I have MAC OS X 10.7.4
    The iphoto is Iphoto 11 Vs. 9.3.2
    I appreciate you taking the time!

    Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
    A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
    A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    When you try to copy data to the external drive, what happens? If you don't see any error, the external drive is formatted in NTFS, and OS X can't write in it.
    To be able to write on this external drive, you have to use an app like Paragon NTFS. Another solution would be to format the external drive in FAT32 or exFAT with Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html Make sure you copied all the files of the external disk to the internal disk before doing it

  • I am having trouble moving files from iPhoto to a thumb drive.  Sometimes I can move 20 photos next time I can only move 2 photos or 0---this is during the same session.  I also have trouble downloading photos to the internet.  Can someone please help?

    I am having trouble moving files from iphoto to a thumb drive.  During the same session sometime I can move 10 photos at a time, the next time I can only move one photo and sometime no photos will move.  I also have trouble downloading photos to the internet.  I was using a MacBook Pro and had no problems like this.  I then upgraded to the MacBook Pro with Retina Vision and this is the computer I am having problems with.  Can anyone please give me a suggestion in how to fix this problem. THANK YOU.

    iPhoto problems should be posted in their forums.
    I also have trouble downloading photos to the internet.
    Needs clarification.  You upload from your computer to the internet & download from a website/internet to your computer.  So which are you trying to do?  Either way, sounds like a browser issue.  You need to post in the forum of whichever browser you are using.

  • Can you install the needed Flash Player software onto a thumb drive?

    I have a large desktop that needs the new Flash Player. However, I am in the country with only dialup. I can take my laptop to the library for fast Internet. Is it possible to download the needed flash player software onto a thumb drive and then transfer that to the desktop. I've downloaded the install file but it gives me no location choice when it begins the install. Working with windows 7 on both machines.
    Thanks

    Hi Ellen,
    Yes, you can save the offline version of Flash Player onto a thumb drive and then copy/move it to a computer to install it.  The version downloaded from get.adobe.com/flashplayer is what we refer to the online installer.  It's a shim installer that then downloads and installs Flash Player silently.  The offline installers are posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows page in the 'Still having problems' section.  There are various installers for various browsers.  You'll want to download the file(s) corresponding with the browser(rs) you use.

  • Exporting Raw files from iPhoto to a thumb drive

    I shot some photos in camera Raw with my Canon 40D and uploaded them to iPhoto. When I dragged copies of the Raw image file to the desktop they were converted to Jpeg. When I tried dragging them directly from iPhoto to a thumb drive, the same thing happened -- they got automatically converted from Raw to Jpeg.
    How can I move Raw files to the desktop or a thumb drive and keep them Raw?
    Thanks
    Greg

    Yes, iPhoto has a RAW converter, it's the same one Aperture uses but with less options. The options are available under the Adjust button in Editing Mode
    2. If I shoot in Raw and import into iPhoto then convert to, say, TIFF, does iPhoto have two image files, one RAW, one TIFF?
    Yes because iPhoto always preserves your Original file, no matter what. So, if you save it as a jpeg you also have two image files...

  • How do I move event library from thumb drive back to Events Library?

    I am in desperate need of immediate help. In trying to be smart and help the finace move his projects to my newer version of imovie I completely screwed everything up!!
    I was trying to move an imovie project from one mac to another with a properly formatted thumb drive. I moved (not copied) the event library onto a thumb drive, this is not what I wanted and now the originals are gone. How do I move the event library back to imovie back off the thumb drive? Everything is fine when the thumb drive in plugged in but I need it back in imovie. When the thumb drive is unplugged I get the yellow triangles with exclamation points on several of teh project library clips.
    I tried copying from the thumb drive and pasted to the desktop but I can't figure out how to get them back in imovie.
    THANK YOU for any and all help you can give.

    I figured this out. How simple that I just have to reimport them into imovie. Here is the next problem, now that the Event Library is restored there are a bunch of yellow triangles with exclamations points in them in the Project Library. What does this mean? How do I get rid of them?
    Thank you

  • How do I transfer video on a flash drive to my ipad 3

    How do I transfer video from a flash drive into my I-pad 3.

    Not easily.
    First, I've had a 50/50 success rate on flash drives working. most do not.
    Second, the camera connection kit and iPad will ONLY see video files that follow a very strict naming convention. They must be in a folder named DCIM, and all file names must be 8 characters exactly. For example, SAN_2345 or the like. And the iPad will only see video files that it can play. There's a list in the manual.
    If you get a flash drive to work (and the only way to know if it works is to put a DCIM folder on there and see if the iPad sees it) you'll be able to open the folder, but no names will show. So you have to guess which video is which unless there happens to be a poster frame that shows you which is which. (I have several video files and I have to guess which is which)
    You cannot watch videos off the flash drive, you have to import them onto the ipad, watch then delete, so you need to make sure you have enough room to import your file.
    So it can work, but it is tricky. If you're going to do it you may want to consider using SD cards. That removes the obstacle of the flash drive not working since almost every SD card works (except for SDXC).

  • My startup disk is full?!?!  This has been happening for a while and I have dumped 4500 jepegs from iPhoto onto an external drive to try and free up space.  I am still recieving the "Startup disk full" message.  What more can I do?!?!

    Did you empty the Trash?
    What size hard drive & how much free space. You should always have a minimum of 10-15% or more free space?
