How do you export video to an external drive from iPhoto?

Hi, I have been trying to export video footage from iphoto onto an external hard drive only to find it no longer plays and is only a single image. What am I doing wrong...
Karen

Unless you exported the files using the Kind = Original option all you'll get for each item, photo or video, will be a jpeg file.
If you want to export only the videos do a search in the library for keyword = movie as iPhoto adds that keyword to all movies/videos imported. Then you can export them to a folder on the Destkop as Originals.
Or create a Smart Album like this:
Then you can select the contents of the album and export.

How do you export or attach an edited photo from iPhoto?

I have tried to use the 'current' version but it always exports or attaches the raw version.

How do you move pictures to an external drive to open space on the Mac hard drive? Or what is the best way to store photos safely?

How do you move pictures to an external drive to open harddrive space? Or what is the best way to store large photo files? Ive tried copy/cut and paste and it doesnt work. I have nothing on my Mac but photos and its telling me startup disk is too full to download updates.

How do i input video into an external drive?

Hi. I just bought a 12 inch PB and a 250 GB Lacie external drive. I connected the external drive into my PB and i hooked up my video camera into the computer and started importing video. But how do i know that the video is going into the external drive?

The Mole,
Before you started importing your video, you were asked to name your project and specify where to save. It's in that Save Dialogue Box that you can navigate to your external drive and save your project there.
If your project is already on your internal drive you can just use the Finder and drag it to you external drive where it will be copied. Just like you would with any other files.
Also, you'll want to make sure the new drive is formatted Mac OS Extended. You can check this using Disk Utility.

How do I view photos in an external drive using iphoto

I want to view my photos stored on an external drive using iphoto. How do I do that?

iPhoto is not a photo viewer, it's a photo manager with non-destructive processing. If you want a photo viewer, check put Preview.

How do you view file on an external drive using Unix?

Hi Folks,
I'm a serious UNIX newbie...Basically I took up unix in order to use a specific image processing software package... I've learned enough to write a script to batch process all of my images, but I have so many that I would like to use an external (USB) drive to hold the data and point the script towards those files.
Is there any way to navigate to an external drive in UNIX?
I see a lot about "mounting" drives, but I have no idea how to do this... I really need someone to hold my hand!
Thanks.
-Brent.

PS:
here is an example of mounting a network drive if you have to go across the network and actually have the external drive mounted, as opposed to just copying to/from (which would probably be the case coz' things like "scp" are going to ask you for a password):
mount -t smb server.work.com:/vol/vol0/Projects /Projects
-t is keyword for type of of filesystem and smb is the actual type.
server.work.com:/vol/vol0/Projects is path to actual directory on external networked drive. The trailing "/Projects" is the mount point and name on your computer.
Visit the "man" pages for mount in Terminal for more info, at prompt, type
man mount
You won't have to bother with this with a locally mounted (i.e., on the same computer that you are working on) firewire or USB drive. The local path is just
/Volumes/{NameOfExternalFirewireOrUSBdrive}/{filepath}

SuperDuper - how do you partition a partially written external drive?

Just downloaded this program. I read it's best to partition the external drive otherwise it may overwrite existing data. My 150 GB external is 1/4 full. Can I partition it without distrubing the currently written data? How much space I need to assign to the partitioned section for backups?

I'm pretty sure you can't repartition without disturbing an existing partition, particularly if there's only one partition at the moment. If it's one quarter full, perhaps you can copy what's there back to the internal, repartition the external into the scheme you want, and then copy back to the external. But if you're only going to partition it to the same single partition you had before, there's no need to do it unless it was not formatted as the GUID type, which you need to boot an intel mac.
SuperDuper clones your drive, so it makes the external exactly like your internal and bootable too (assuming you do have the GUID type). So you can't have additional material on the drive to which you're cloning, as it wouldn't be a clone, right? What I do is use a 250 gig external, partitioned into two 125 gig partitions. One of them I use for SuperDuper to clone my internal, and the other I use for other backups of specific folders, offline storage of Aperture libraries, etc.

I cannot copy files to my time capsule. How do you use it as an external drive?

I recently moved to an iMac. I bought the time capsule as a backup drive. I want to copy my pictures from an external drive to my time capsule. But, it will not allow me to copy files over. I would also like to use the time capsule for general storage for large files. There must be a setting I am missing that allows you to simply copy files.

So, I was already connected - I was trying to copy entire folders directly to the time capsule - I guess you "MUST" use the "DATA" folder that is created in time capsule. I was assuming the "DATA" folder was for backups - but, appears it is for the external HD usage.
Thanks Casper!!

Moving photos to an external drive from iPhoto

I'm exporting from macback pro iphoto library to an external drive (passport for mac) and getting message unable to create/volumes/My Passport for Mac. I use this drive as my back up drive for the macbook. Does this mean I need to get a new drive or just that the passport is too full (1Tetrabyte)

to move the iPhoto library you need to move it as a single entity -
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

How do you export aperture library to external harddrive?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Im trying to save my entire Aperture library to an external harddrive. What are my options other than using Time Machine? Thanks

Managed or Referenced Library?
Assuming it's a Managed library:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit Aperture
2. Copy the Aperture Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching Aperture. 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're using a Referenced Library then you'll need to relocate the Masters first.

HOW do you save FCP X to external drives?

How do I set the scratch disk or change where my project is saved in FCP X?

With hair tearing frustration I can second that:
Just freed up 1tb drive, formatted for OSX Extended so we dont get the FAT 4GB file limit,
proceeded to make that my time machine backup, then loaded all my footage (which i archive off my cam manually by copying the BDMV folders, as my JVC only has 32GB internal so i do 'daily' footage copies and erase the cam) onto the drive, ready to use with my amazing new fcpx and, - Whoa!
The amazement continues as only my moviecore drive (fat32) shows up in fcp, and not my AVCHDCore!!!
In one day of toying around, my meagre 320GB startup disk is so full of needlessly cached video files (which also had to be copied FROM the external disk when log/transfer or import from camera is performed), that the VM storage bound itself into knot and i had to force restart my machine.
While many professionals have workflow issues, FCPX seems great compared with the clunky, premiere style NLE of past versions, its a breeze with the clip/subclip management/linking happening in the background, not to mention proper multitask rendering.
But the orwellian treatment to your loyal customers who proudly use (or, used to) your products in both home and professional environments is staggering.
Please dont americanise your approach to your customers Apple, removing peoples rights and capabilities and telling them you're making it easier for them.
Steve's gone 5 minutes and you guys drop the ball.
Thouroughly unimpressed.

How do I delete videos that have been imported from iPhoto?

Somehow I imported to iMovie 11 all the videos I have in iPhoto and they've been broken down into clips (thumbnails?). I don't want those videos/clips in iMovie or on my hard drive at all! (I just want to keep the originals in iPhoto.) How can I actually delete them rather than hiding/moving them? I've tried highlighting them and using Delete or Command/Delete, but that doesn't seem to work.

iMovie does not have a physical copy of your clips. They reside in the iPhoto library and iMovie references them there. You have to delete them in iPhoto. But be careful, that is your only copy.
You can prove this to yourself by right-clicking on one of your iPhoto event clips in iMovie and selecting "REVEAL IN FINDER". It should take you to a folder within iPhoto.
