How do you get photos out of iphoto?

where are they stored on my hard drive? all i see in Pictures is iPhoto Library but how do i actually access the files in there, say if i wanted to put them on an external flash drive or something like that.

iPhoto is a Photo management program that keeps the photos in a data base - as in any database you access the data (Photos) via the database access methods
to put on a flash drive simply export your photos to a desktop folder, mount your flash drive and then drag that folder to the mounted flash drive
for complete details on accessing the database click here

How do I get photos out of iPhoto?

I do not want to use iPhoto. I am going to use Adobe Photoshop for editing and organizing. Most of my images are not under iPhoto, but about 4 months of them are. How do I access these images without iPhoto. I tried to export them, but it did not work. My HD is almost full and I picked about 2500 at once. Does the export feature create another copy? I don't want extras taking up space on the hard drive either.
Thanks for any help!

My HD is almost full and I picked about 2500 at once. Does the export feature create another copy?
Yes, exporting will create another copy.
Inside the iPhoto Library the photos are not easily accessible. You could extract the "Masters" folder, but the organisation is not really easy to use.
Why not exporting your images in smaller batches, say 200 photos at a time? Export them to separate folders in your Pictures folder, or whereever you want them; check, that the export succeeded, and then delete them from your iPhoto library after exporting. Don't forget to empty the trash in iPhoto and on your Desktop. This way you will not need much duplicate space.
But I strongly recommend to make a backup copy of your iPhoto library on an external drive before you do that, just in case you discover later that some images did not export correctly.
Also, you know that you can use Photoshop from within iPhoto, if you setPhotoshop as external editor?

How do you get Photos to recognize the "old" iPhoto Library on an external drive without it copying it to the internal drive on the computer which is low in HD space?

How do you get Photos to recognize the “old” iPhoto Library on an external drive without it copying it to the internal drive on the computer which is low in HD space?

Launch Photos while holding down the alt/options key.
This will show the Library Chooser panel. Select the library on the external drive. Photos will create a Photos Library on the same drive.
Photos may not be able to open the library, however, if your external drive has an incompatible file system. It needs to be formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled) and locally mounted, not a remotely mounted volume, as described here: Format external drives to Mac OS Extended before using with Aperture

How do I get photos from the iPhoto import folder to the iPhoto library? It uploaded, but hung while deleting from my camera, so no imported photos are in the iPhoto library.

How do I get photos from the iPhoto import folder to the iPhoto library? It uploaded, but hung while deleting from my camera, so no imported photos are in the iPhoto library. I watched it upload about 400 photos, one by one. They're somewhere, but they don't appear in the iPhoto library. As iPhoto was deleting them from my camera, it got hung up, then a message came "you should eject before disconnecting a device." I hadn't touched the camera. The message came by itself. I couldn't get iPhoto to respond, so I disconnected the camera and did a Force Quit. Opening it back up, the pictures were gone. Can somebody help me?

What version of iPhoto are you running? Assuming it's iPhoto 9 or later Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

If you don't have iPhoto, you can get photos off your camera using the Image Capture utility.
If you have JPEG photo files in a Finder folder, you can drag and drop them into your iMovie Project from there. TIFF and PNG may also work.

Thanks Diggie, your response was very close. I clicked on the email several times. It came up and gave me the option to Send. I clicked Send and my recipients received the email.
I did not have to delete and reinstall my email account.

How do you get photos off a digital camera and videos off a camcorder onto the iPad air?

How do you get photos off a digital camera and videos off a camcorder onto the iPad air?

You can use the camera connection kit.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD822ZM/A/lightning-to-sd-card-camera-reader?f node=3a
If your camera has an SD card
or the lightening to USB for your videos
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD821ZM/A/lightning-to-usb-camera-adapter?fnod e=3a
(might also work for your camera)
The photo part is rather self-explanatory. as long as your photos are in the right format and with the right naming convention they should import right over. The video may be a bit more tricky. So you may want to do some more research and make sure your camera records a format the iPad will import and whether or not you need an app such as iMovie

Try-catch blocks. How do you get variables out?

Hey guys,
I have several try-catch blocks around potential NumberFormatException's. Well the variables and values given inside the try-catch block can not be used outisde, so how do i get them out or use them outside this block.
Is there a way to kind of pass it out, or to take the variable outside the try-catch block?
Gary.

Declare the variable before the try block:
public void foo(String number) {
int i; // Unknown
try {
i = Integer.parseInt(number);
} catch( NumberFormatException e ) {
e.printStackTrace();
System.out.println(i);
variable i might not have been initialized
System.out.println(i);
^
Or declare the method as throwing the exception so
that you don't have to handle it directly
public void foo(String number)
throws NumberFormatException
i = Integer.parseInt(number);
System.out.println(i);
}Not the best example, in this case. But it works for some things.
Or make use of the variable within the try block so
that you limit its scope to the degree possible
public void foo(String number) {
try {
i = Integer.parseInt(number);
System.out.println(i);
} catch( NumberFormatException e ) {
e.printStackTraceException();
}Definitely missed declaring i, but I like this one best ;~)
Each has its benefits. Depends what sort of method
you're writing - if failure of the try block causes
the whole method to fail, don't try to handle the
exception locally, put the throws in the signature. ~Cheers

How do you import photos from the iPhoto library albums on the Mac to lightroom 5---i hit import but have no idea where to find iPhoto albums

how do you import photos from iPhoto albums on the mac to lightroom 5

Have you used the built-in migration plug-in? I'm not sure how LR handles iPhoto albums or events. there have been several reports indicating varying levels of success or otherwise, with import.
See my comments on this similar thread which also has a link to users comments on the LR journal blog.

How do I get photos outside of iPhoto?

I recently had to restore my computer and the iOS was updated to mountain lion or something... Anyways, all my photos are inside iPhoto. However with the new version of iOS I can't open that version of iPhoto on that macbook. So I copied the iPhoto icon they were able to save onto the new macbook pro onto an external HD and put it on an older software computer but I couldn't open those photos because the computer I opened it on already has a ton of pictures in iPhoto so it only opens that specific computers iPhoto.
What I want to know is if there's a way to get the pictures out of iPhoto and onto the newly formatted macbook pro? How do I open it?
Also... in all this confusion, when I do try to open iPhoto on the newly formatted macbook pro, it gives me a box that asks me to choose the iPhoto library, however there are no options to choose from. Now what?
Thanks for any and all help.

I recently had to restore my computer and the iOS was updated to mountain lion or something... Anyways, all my photos are inside iPhoto.
If I understand you correctly, you had to restore the hard drive of your Computer and the Mac OS X was upgraded to Mountain Lion. Now your old iPhoto version cannot any longer run with the new Mac OS version?
So I copied the iPhoto icon they were able to save onto the new macbook pro onto an external HD and put it on an older software computer but I couldn't open those photos because the computer I opened it on already has a ton of pictures in iPhoto so it only opens that specific computers iPhoto.
Do you mean you copied your iPhoto Library from an external HD to an older computer with an older iPhoto version to view your photos there? But iPhoto does not open this library, because there is already another, older iPhoto Library? Or did you copy the iPhoto Application to this older Mac?
What version of iPhoto do you have on your older Mac? And what is the version of iPhoto that created your current iPhoto Library? And what is the MacOS X version on the older Machine? If the iPhoto version is iPhoto '06 or later, you should be able to switch to another iPhoto Library by double clicking the iPhoto Library icon in the Finder. Or by ctrl-clicking the iPhoto Library and by selecting "Open with" from the pop-up menu to open it in the correct iPhoto version.
What I want to know is if there's a way to get the pictures out of iPhoto and onto the newly formatted macbook pro? How do I open it?
Are you confusing the iPhoto application with your iPhoto Library? Your photos are inside a database package called something like "iPhoto Library.photolibrary" with an icon showing a fan of pictures. The iPhoto application does not contain the photos; you have to find the iPhoto library. Usually this library is in the Pictures folder in your home folder. Have your data in your home folder been restored, when your Mac has been restored? Or are all your data on the external drive that you mentioned?
Is there a newer iPhoto version on your newly installed Mac, compatible with Mt. Lion?
Also... in all this confusion, when I do try to open iPhoto on the newly formatted macbook pro, it gives me a box that asks me to choose the iPhoto library, however there are no options to choose from. Now what?
As I said above - find your iPhoto library. If it is on your external drive, then connect that disk to your Mac before you launch iPhoto. Then the photo library shoud be found.
Please post back with more information, so we can help you better.
