How to copy photos in iPhoto to dropbox?

I have been struggling all night to try and copy some photo's in IPhoto over to Dropbox but the JPG files are not showing up in my finder???
And when I go to try and expand my IPhoto library it opens Iphoto.
How can I copy or move the photo's to another location???
Gwen

Sorry but that makes no sense  --  if you "copied" the library then the copy is the same as the original
You should NEVER be going inside of the iPhoto library and looking or changing the files or structure - there is never a ned to do so and any change no matter how small can corrupt your library and cause loss of data
There is no importing involved - you simply copy the library over to the pictures folder of the new computer and launch iPhoto - very simple and eash
Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

  • How to copy photos from iphoto to windows hard drive

    I wanna back up my iphoto to windows hard drive.
    thanks.

    I share the Mac iPhotos folder \\COUNTERPWN\Pictures\iPhoto Library.photolibrary\Masters and create a shortcut on my windows desktop. If you want you can use Microsoft Synctoy and run it whenever you want to back them up. Kind of reverse order, instead of going from Mac to Windows to backup, go from Windows to Mac and back again. lol hope that made sense.
    Just make sure you have File Sharing selected and Windows Sharing on in prefrence for you iPhoto folder.

  • Copying photos in iPhoto to a CD-R disc

    Hi: Can someone tell me how to copy photos that I took and have in my iPhoto program to a disc. I put a CD-R disc in the computer and instructed it to burn the "event" that I wanted to the disc. It seemed to work and then during the verification of the burned disc a "Verification Failed" notice came up. Any help would be great.
    Thank you.

    Sounds like a bad CD - try again
    What are you trying to accomplish? It sounds like you are using the Share ==> burn command in iPhoto - this will produce a mini iPhoto library intended to be opened in iPhoto
    If you want a general purpose set of photos to take to a photo printer or give to someone with an inferior non Apple computer you should export the photos to a folder and burn that folder to CD

  • TS3683 how to copy photos on my ipad mini to my macbook pro

    how to copy photos on my ipad mini to my macbook pro?

    To copy photos to your computer that were taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page - on a Mac you can use Image Capture, iPhoto or Aperture.
    To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

    How to get photos from iPhoto back onto a SD card. I have a MacBook Pro with built in SD card slot. I have tried "Export" but this does not work.

    It's best to export the photos to a folder and then drag the folder onto the memory card.  Memory cards are usually formatted for PCs, FAT 32, which doesn't permit more than a limited number of files in the root directory. Putting the photos in a folder gets around that limitation.

  • Copying photos from iPhotos to an external hard drive, changes the dates the photo was created

    I have the odd query where when I copy photos from iPhoto in to any other folder, whether it's on the mac deskstop or an external hard drive, that the 'date created' on the some of the photos is changed from the date the photo was actually taken to some random date. This is sometimes the date that I move the photos and sometime a date seemingly randomly selected between the date when the photo was taken and then date I copied the photos.
    It doesn't make a different if I copy or cut and paste each file, and if I select all photos from a single event and copy then all in one go, some photos keep the correct data and others don't.
    Most of these photo of of my baby, so the exact date take is very important ofr reference. Current I have a 100 odd photos taken over a few weeks all with the same 'created date'. I have no idea if she was 10 week or 20 weeks old at the time.
    Any ideas? It's really frustrating me.

    No
    iPhoto never does anything with a photo that is not in its library
    Although it does not affect this do you have a default managed library or a (strongly not recommedned) referenced library - (The iPhoto advanced preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library" has been unchecked) which is strongly NOT recommended.

  • HT204414 how to merge my iPhoto Library into my Photos System Library or how to import photos from iPhoto to Photos?

    Can anyone tell me how to merge my iPhoto Library into my Photos System Library or how to import photos from iPhoto to Photos?

    How many did you trash at one go? iPhoto will baulk and possibly corrupt if you try trash too many at one go. Expereinced users recommend getting rid of them in batches of about 100 or so.
    What's your plan for the remaining images in the iPhoto Library (the 2k photos and 4 videos)?
    Regards

  • Does anyone know how to take photos from IPHOTO into Lightroom?

    does anyone know how to take photos from IPHOTO into Lightroom?

    Because Apple has dropped "Aperture" and is switching users away from "iPhoto" to a new photo application called "Photo" so that they are more fully integrated with the Yosemite 10 and the iOS 8.3 going forward there are some instructions how to import photos into Lightroom without losing to much metadata or other information. Go under Lightroom help and follow he instructions.

    how to copy photo from camera roll to created photo album or to photo library

    I have been trying to figure out a work aroundof this issue too.  It defeats the purpose of photo stream in my eyes.
    You can copy a picture from your photo stream to your camera roll and then crop, etc.  But you can't then file that picture into a folder of your choice!?!?!?!  If I have to file the picture on my computer and then resync to do it then photo stream is mostly pointless!!!

  • How do I copy photos from iphoto to an sd card. Copy doesn't work and export doesn't work.

    I have tried to copy photos to an SD drive on my macbook pro from iphoto. Copy does not work and I get an error when I try export. Can this be done?

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what happens when you try to drag and drop from the Finder? Any messages?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?
