How to move some pictures folders outside library?

Because I've stopped iphoto to manage my files, but I've just processed so many photos, but I wish to maintain every pics in the same locations outside iphoto library to use also with Lightroom. But now I've over 200gb of pictures in my personal folder, but 13gb are duplicated inside iphoto library.
May you help me?
Thanks a lot
Danilo
Deleting the folders and reimportings it's not possible because faces and locations I just typed.

I've tried... it mantains the geo informations, the name of files, but not the facies...
But it's just an 50% of the works!
Thanks
if you have any other ideas... I'm here

How do you take pictures from one library and put in another library??

How do you take pictures from one library and put in another library??

Options:
1. Export from iPhoto A to the Finder, then import to iPhoto B
This gets the photo over, but no versions, no edit history and not all the metadata
2. Use iPhoto Library Manager
This gets everything: versions, edit history and all the metadata.

How to delete duplicate pictures from Photo Library

How to delete duplicate pictures from Photo Library in iPhone 3G 16 giga?

The only way to delete photos from the photo library is by the same way the photos were transferred to your iPhone - via the iTunes sync process.
Are you saying a photo or all photos transferred to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process are duplicated in your iPhone's Photo Library without being duplicated in the folder on your computer where these photos are stored?

Are the pictures already in the iPhoto Library? If so just drag them onto the slideshow title in the left hand source pane.

How to move files between folders within Lightroom 3?

I would like to move a file from one folder to another within Lightroom 3 (let's not discuss why). I searched the threads but couldn't find the answer (maybe I missed it). When I click on a photo within grid view then drag and drop that file onto a different folder in the folder panel (to do the move), a little plus sign (copy) appears and a copy of the file is placed in the second folder. If I try to delete the photo from the original folder (to get the move), both copies of the file are removed. I've tried holding down all sorts of keys on the imac but cannot get the move to work. Ideally, I'd like to move a group of photos but cannot even move one. Does anyone know how to move files between folders in Lightroom 3?

Your suggestion works. Thank you for posting it.

Try selecting the photos, right-clicking the target folder and choosing
"Move Selected Photos to This Folder".

Can't see some picture folders on itunes

Im running itunes on a Windows 7 machine. When i try to sync some picture folders using itunes i can only see about half of my folders. Any idea why? Thanks.

Press Ctrl-S to turn on the sidebar. You should be able to explore the content of the device as you did in previous versions of iTunes.

Why can't I see some pictures in my library when trying to export?

Why can't I see some pictures in my library when trying to export?

Honestly, it's a bit hard to say. No need to be quite so stingy with information.
As a conundrum, I'd guess that some of your images have off-line Masters. Aperture cannot export images with off-line Masters.

How do I transfer pictures from Photo library to iPhoto library?

How do I transfer pictures from Photo library to iPhoto library?

You do not export to IPhoto - you export to the desktop and then import from there into iPhoto - then delete form the desktop
two separate steps
[1] Export from Photos and [2] import into iPhoto

How to move Downloads, Movies, Music& Pictures folders to an external drive

I have a 2008 iMac which hard disk (as you probably know) is not upgradable. After 16 months of use the disk became full so I bought an external firewire drive (1T LaCie d2). My plan is to move most folders located under /Users/username/ (the Documents, Downloads, Movies, Music and Pictures folders) to the external drive and replace them with aliases.
Searching on the net, I found instructions on how to move the iTunes Music folder and how to change iPhoto default photos folder. I then moved the said folders and their contents to the external drive and created the aliases. Now when I try to delete the folders for their original location I get a message stating that "folders cannot be modified or deleted because they are required by Mac OS X". I know that I can delete these folders using terminal Unix commands but is this the correct approach?
Or should I go and create a new user account using as Home directory a folder located on the external drive? Or, alternatively, just change the existing user Home to one in the external drive?
I think my question is important and of general interest and I was really disappointed to find out that Apple has no documentation on this subject (or at least, I couldn't find any).

this happens because they are protected by "deny delete" ACLs.

that's one way to do it. then you can move the folders to teh external and put symbolic links, *NOT aliases* in their original locations.
Or should I go and create a new user account using as Home directory a folder located on the external drive?
Or, alternatively, just change the existing user Home to one in the external drive?
that might be the easiest option. just copy the whole home folder to the external. then go to system preferences->accounts. unlock the lock at the bottom, control-click on your user and choose 'advanced options". in the popup change the location of the home directory to the external. then reboot and when you log in your home directory should be on the external. then you can trash the old home directory on the internal.

How can I MOVE some projects from one library to another?

As the aperture library grows quite big and I want to split it into several smaller ones. How can I move projects from the old library to a new one without export them and re-import them all again? Is it possible to retain all adjustments after migration?
Thanks!

You export the project by CTRL / Right- click the project and choose 'Export' > 'Project'. The same if you go via the file menu.
Every adjustment you made, books created, albums etc. will be kept in the exported project and are available again when you import it to another library.

All my photos on my phone are in 1 album. Is there a way to create new albums and move some pictures to them?

All my photos on my phone are in one album. Is there a way to create new albums and move some of them?

With photos transferred from your computer, you create the albums or folders on your computer.
If you manually manage photo storage on your computer, create a parent folder that will store the named folders of photos you want transferred to your iPhone. Place the named folders of photos in this parent folder and select the parent folder under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync. The folders of photos inside of the parent folder on your computer's hard drive will be transferred to your iPhone as separate albums. To add an additional album of photos to your iPhone, place the folder of photos in the parent folder followed by a sync. To remove an album of photos from your iPhone, move the folder of photos outside of the parent folder followed by a sync.

I can't figure out how to move my playlist folders to my iPod

I have a 5th Generation iPod and I am using it with the latest version of iTunes on a dare I say it Windows machine.
I organize my playlists in folders on my iTunes. When I sync to my iPod those folders do not carry over, but the playlists in those folders do not. I have sorted through the manual, the options on both iTunes and my iPod and this website, and for the life of me I can't even find a mention of how to move these folders over to my iPod.
ANY help is apreciated.
Thanks,
Karl

Although iTunes supports the use of folders in the manner you describe, unfortunately the iPod does not.

How to move songs from iPod to Library?

I have more songs on my iPod than in my Library. How do I move all the songs into Library? Drag and drop is not allowed.

You can't sync or drag your music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs but not playlists back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.
