How to copy iphoto picture library to flash drive?

How can I copy all the pictures in iphoto to a flash drive?

you ask two different questions
do you want to copy the iPHoto library to a flash drive? If so then format the flash drive Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library to it
Or
do you want to copy all of your photos from the iPhoto library to a flash drive? If so select them all in iPhoto and export to a desktop folder (see the user tip on exporting for details on the available options), mount the Flash drive and drag that folder to it

    HI Brigdool,
    It depends how you made the backup.
    If you copied your entire iTunes folder onto the flash drive, just copy it back to the appropriate place on the computer.
    If you copied individual folders or files, add them back to iTunes by inserting the flash drive in your computer, and then dragging the files into your "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder.
    The first method recreates your library as it was, with all playcounts, playlists, etc.  The second method builds a new library with the same content.

  • How to recover iphoto pictures from a hard drive

    My macbook pro got water on it and it doesn't work anymore. I bought a new one, but want to recover the information from the hard drive in the old computer. I am trying to recover my iphoto pictures, but I cannot open the iphoto version in my old drive. Can you help? How can I recover the pictures from my iphoto library? Thank you for your suggestions.

    Are you able to mount the old drive so you can access files on it?  From your comment "I cannot open the iphoto version in my old drive"  I'm assuming you can somehow.
    Therefore copy the library to your new Mac and try to open the library from there.  If you can copy the library to you new Mac but can't open it with iPhoto open it with the Finder and follow these directions:
    Starting over from scratch with new library
    Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
    1. Open the library package like this.
    2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
    This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
    Note:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • How can I add a library of flash movies to my site?

    I posted this same question on the Dreamweaver forum and a suggestion was made that I try over here for help, so please excuse the duplicate question.
    How can I add a library of flash movies to my site?
    Hey there everyone and thanks for reading my question.
    I have a library of flash movies (specifically a library of maps) and when the map movies are run in Flash they call each other just fine (i.e. the USA map will load the Georgia map when Georgia is clicked on the USA map, etc etc etc for each state).
    HOWEVER, when I insert the USA map in one of my site pages (I'm working on the site using Dreamweaver CS4) the USA map page will load, but when a state is clicked the area on the page for the map goes blank and the state map does not load.
    Short of coding a specific path in each of my state maps (in the Flash editor) is there a way to tell Dreamweaver there is a library of maps, look there for the sub-map?
    and if I do have to code the path to the map, can I code a relative path rather than a specific URL address for the maps?
    I know this is probably one of those simple things, but I'm not seeing it (can you tell I'm new at this??)
    Thanks in advance for any help!
    Frances

    Hey again,
    Thanks for the helpful suggestions. Everyone's comments got me to thinking about what the path was in the calls from the maps.
    here is what finally worked:
    on (release)
    loadMovie("../FlashIMapDownloads/georgia.swf", 0);  
    this script code is in the action script for the "georgia" button of my main map - a US Map. (I hope I'm describing all this correctly).
    I'll post this same info in the Dreamweaver forum too.
    Thanks again!

  • How do I move photo's from an IPhoto album to a flash drive stick?

    I Need to know how to move photo's from a IPhoto album to a flash drive stick. Also how do I make sure the stick is formatted and blank

    ALbums in iPhoto have manul sorting. When you export from iPhoto you send the files to the Finder and that doesn't. It can sort in many ways, but perhaps the most usual is by name. So, rename the photos and then export them using the title as filename or the album name and number or even Sequential.
    When you go File -> Export note the option at the bottom of the Export dialogue:

    Can anyone help me figure out how to copy .jpg (pictures) from my PC to my IPAD2? 

    Create a folder on you PC and copy the pictures you want on the iPad into that folder. Then start iTunes and plug in your iPad. In the column on the left (about half way down) click on the name of your iPad.   Then click on the photos tab near the top and to the right of the screen.  Check the box that says Sync photos and then select the folder you put your pictures in from the drop down menu on the screen. Then click Apply down at the bottom right hand side of the screen. Hope that helps!

  • Trouble exporting photos from iPhoto directly to a flash drive

    Hi,
    When I exported 7 photos from my iPhoto library, all marked JPEG, directly to my 256MB Memorex flash drive (first time of usage), a strange thing happened. When I opened the flash drive on my computer, 5 photos showed up visually showing the image and two showed up as Generic JPEG icons.
    The 5, (from info) were now marked Unix Executable File and the 2 Generics (from info) were marked JPEG.
    In going to Target, then CVS Drugs and then Walgreens to have prints made, all their machines showed no images available.
    All the images were taken on an HP photosmart 435, 3.1 MP digital camera.
    Fortunately, all the images were still on the camera media and they then printed out very well when I returned to Target with the camera media
    Many thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi captaindad,
    I had a similar problem using a flash drive using iPhoto on a Mac and PS on a PC... when I first plugged in the Flash Drive in the PC, most images appeared but not all. I kept refreshing the window and all eventually appeared.
    Now, I just drag and copy from iPhoto directly to my flash drive and all seems to be working smoother using this method rather than the export option, also doing it this way always ends up with an Image Thumbnail v. Generic JPEG icon... Rick

  • IPhoto problem with external flash drive

    I'm trying to transfer some pictures from IPhoto to my external flash drive but it won't allow me to.

    Hi jschmidt33,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    Try following along with the article below, if you follow those steps you should be able to save photos to your external drive or any other folder on your computer's internal drive.
    iPhoto '11: Export a photo
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ph2438
    When you email, print, publish, or export a photo from your iPhoto library, iPhoto asks you to choose the size, also known as resolution. The settings you choose depend on what you want to do with the photo.
    To change a photo’s size or file format, you export the photo. You might want to export photos so that you can import them into another application.
    To export photos:
    Select the photo or photos you want to export.
    Choose File > Export.
    At the top of the Export Photos window, click the File Export button.
    To specify the file type for the exported photo, choose an option from the Kind pop-up menu:Original: Exports the photo as it was originally imported into iPhoto, before editing.Current: Exports the photo in its current format. If you imported a RAW-format photo and then edited it in iPhoto, the photo is exported as a JPEG file.JPEG: If you choose this format, choose an option from the JPEG Quality pop-up menu. The higher the quality, the bigger the photo. For example, if the photo will be used on a website where optimal quality for printing isn’t required, you could choose Low to save storage space on the website.TIFF: A lossless file format that works well for transferring photos between computers and applications.PNG: Another lossless file format popular for web images.
    To change the size (resolution), choose an option from the Size pop-up menu:
    For photos to be emailed or mainly viewed onscreen, these settings compress the photos (making them smaller):
    Small: Use for photos you email or publish to websites where you don’t expect anyone to download and print your photos.
    Medium: Use when you or your recipients have a reasonably fast Internet connection, such as DSL. This setting is not suitable for making prints.
    Large: Use this setting when you and your recipients have a very fast connection. This size can be used to print small to standard-size photos (2 by 3, 3 by 5, and 4 by 6 inches).
    For photos to be printed or published for download, these settings provide maximum detail for final prints:
    Optimized: Use for larger prints and for publishing photos to websites for others to download and print. With this setting, photos are slightly compressed to a smaller file size so that they download faster without compromising quality.
    Actual Size/Full Size: Use to make high-quality prints in small to large sizes, or to upload photos to websites so that others can download and print them. This setting matches the actual size of your photo, so it may take longer to upload or download.
    Specify your other options:Include checkboxes: If you choose JPEG or TIFF from the Kind pop-up menu, you can include titles, keywords, and location information with the exported photos by selecting the checkboxes.File Name: Choose whether to export photos in sequence, or by their filenames, iPhoto titles, or album name.Prefix for sequential: If you choose Sequential from the File Name pop-up menu, you can specify text to appear before each number (for example, Birthday01, Birthday02, and so on). This step is optional.
    Click Export.
    Choose where to save the exported photo files, and then click OK.
    iPhoto works best with JPEG files, the standard format for data compression of still pictures. If you experience problems working with a non-JPEG file in iPhoto, use a different image-editing application to convert the image to JPEG.
    Good luck!

  • Saving iPhoto photos on a Flash Drive

    Hi, I want to save all the photos that I have in iPhoto now on a Flash Drive. Because these photos are going to be straight from the camera, they are going to be very large. Do you recommend that I crop and size each one before saving? some are paintings, and I would want to save them on my computer as large files for printing on Giclees. Those specific photos I could save to Desktop, open in Photoshop and save them in a picture file on computer. But the rest of the photos don't have to be large as most are reference or snapshots. Question is, do I resize them and then drag them to the FlashDrive window? Thanks for any help available. I also need info on the entire lot of photos that are imported at this time in iPhoto, to know how much space they will take up in the Flash Drive.
