How to remove a folder from iphoto?
hi, i imported all my picture folders to iphoto and now trying to remove a folder from iphoto, just don't wanna see it there but i still want it in the system.
any ideas?
thanks,

Ok, I am new too mac, so learning all this too but here is what i found to delete a folder out of iPhoto but not delete it from your HD.
My scenerio. I importated all my pictures from the "Pictures" in the "Favorites" within Finder. Unfortanutely, there were some iChat icons within the picture folder that i didn't want in iPhoto. What i found was that when i delete the pictures from iPhoto that they do not get deleted from the location on the mac hard drive...yipee!!! Here are some more details for deleting the folder but not deleting them from their location.
Selet the "Photos" in the left panel of iPhoto...select the folder but not on the name, this will highlight all the photos, then open the folder and drag all the photos to the trash...empty the trash on the iphoto application...the folders will be moved to the mac trash...empty the mac trash to just clean up your mac trash if you want. You can check the original location of your imported folder to make sure the pictures are still on the HD before empting the mac trash...my guess is they are.
Hope this helps,

Folder (and file) deletion is a two-part process. First you Archive the file from the Files page at https://creative.adobe.com/files, or by deleting it from the Creative Cloud Files folder on your computer. Then you Permanently Delete the folder from the Archive at https://creative.adobe.com/archive.

How to remove corrupt image from iPhoto
Somewhere in my photo library I have a photo that iPhoto really doesn't like! I want to know how to remove this image from my library, possibly by deleting it via Finder.
When I scroll through my photos in iPhoto the software hangs momentarily, and then crashes completely, whenever it gets to this particular image. When I try to export my photos (for backup purposes) iPhoto always crashes when trying to export this same image.
The problem has appeared with one of the recent updates to iPhoto, when I originally imported this image I could see and export the image just fine. The same issue is preventing me from migrating my photo library to the new Photos app - the import process that runs when I first launch Photos always crashes at the same point, presumably because of this same image file.
I am unable to remove the image by deleting it via iPhoto because I can't get iPhoto to display the image without crashing, please can anyone suggest another way to get rid of it.I've been trying to post details from the crash report here, but the forum software tells me that the message contains 'an invalid character' - which character is invalid? Who knows...

Removing a folder from the recent places
I have many Mac and i love it with the new mountain lion. However when I want to save anything i notce that in the "where" drop down menu i see a device tap, favourite tab and a recent places tap. in the recent places tap i see a folder that is only accessible through the library of the machine and it was a pain to get there. how can remove these folder from the recent places tap and and the one i really need.
thanksIf you can make the display only show that music, then you can hit CTRL-A to select all visible music and then press delete to remove it from the library. Alternatively, you can use SHIFT-Click to select ranges of tracks, or CTRL-Click to select multiple disconnected tracks. Same thing, just select it all and hit delete.

How do you remove a folder from an itunes library once it's been added?
How do you remove a folder from an itunes library once it's been added?
When you delete the song, a menu will come up and ask you if you want to trash or keep the file. Select "keep file." It will no longer be in your song list but it will remain on your harddrive. To add it back in use the --"add to library"-- command in the drop down "File" Menu (you have to navigagte to where the song is stored on your hard drive and select it-- to add it back in.
Re: it ended up in the wrong album
If your songs are going in the wrong place go to the "Get Info" command and check the information under all the tabs (look at a song that's in the right album to see how it's listed) -- one or more of the boxes is incorrect or empty. Just put in the right information and close the info window. That should put it back in the right spot for you. -
How can I compare a (partial) export folder from iPhoto to an event in iPhoto to find images not exported? Or better yet, how can I export selected events to a new iPhoto library or an existing iPhoto library with events, titles and keywords intact?

I want to know how to permanently move a folder from iPhoto to my Time Machine, while retaining easy access to that folder. I'm looking to free up some space on my hard drive. I have a MacBook Pro with 4 GB RAM and 320 GB hard drive and we're running to Yosemite operating system.
Hi dhowiejr,
It sounds like you want to manually backup your folder.
OS X Yosemite: Alternatives for backing up your Mac
Other disks
If you have a second hard disk, you can back up files by copying them from one disk to the other. To save space, compress an item before copying it to a backup disk by selecting it, then choosing File > Compress.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

HT1535 how do i transfer photos from iphoto on my imac to my new ipad
I have read and reread the ipad manual and under importing photos and videos - this is all it says,
"To transfer the photos to your computer, connect iPad to your computer and import the images with a photo application such as iPhoto or Adobe Elements."
There are no explicite instructions on how to get the photos from iPhoto onto my iPad. There is nothing in iPhoto either.Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

How do i move photos from iPhotos to an extern hard disk
how do i move photos from iPhotos to an extern hard disk
Specifically from?
You export them: File -> Export
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
Or if you want to, you can keep the images in iPhoto and move the Library to an external:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. 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.

How can I import photos from iPhoto-library to edit in Photoshop CC? - and save it back to the iPhoto-library?
How to access iPhoto images for use in Photoshop
1. In the Finder, navigate to Users > [user name} > Pictures > iPhoto Library.
2. Control-click the iPhoto Library file and choose Show Package Contents.
3. A Finder window opens that shows the contents. The Masters folder (or called Originals folder) contains all of the photographs that are in iPhoto.
Photoshop cannot access this folder, but if you make a duplicate of the folder, the dupe will be accessible -- so:
4. Control-click the folder named Masters (or Originals) and choose Duplicate.
5, Drag the duplicate folder which is named "Masters copy" or “Originals copy” from the iPhoto Library Finder window to the Desktop.
6. Open images in Photoshop from file on desktop.
7 Rename the folder and move it elsewhere (probably to the Pictures folder), if desired.
