How to transfer photo into expansion drive

Can anybody tell me how to download / transfer photo from iphoto into external hard drive

Copy the /Home/Pictures/iPhoto Library file to the external drive. Hold down the OPTION key while double-clicking on the iPhoto application. You will be prompted to select a library. Select the iPhoto Library file on the external drive. iPhoto will now use this library. You can then remove the one in your Pictures folder or keep it as a backup of the library at the time you changed its location.

    PLease tell me how to transfer photos, on my mac, to an inserted SD disc.

    Katty 1,
    if you meant transferring photos from your MacBook Pro to a SD card, note that all of the Retina MacBook Pros have a SDXC card slot. Thus, you would insert a SD card into the SDXC card slot, and an icon representing your SD card should appear on your desktop. You can then drag photos from your Mac to the SD card icon in the same way that you would drag an icon to copy to any other drive. The SD card icon should be dragged to the Trash (to “eject” it) before you remove the card from the slot.

    How to transfer  photos from a MAC to a USB external storage drive?

    Just the Photos? Or the Library?
    If it's the Library:
    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.

    Want to know how to transfer photos from windows xp to IPad2

    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 to transfer photos from one rhyme to another?

    Can you connect the phone to the computer as a disk drive using the usb cable supplied with the phone? Copy the files from the first phone. Disconnect it properly. Connect the second phone in the same manner. This time copy the files from the computer to the phone in the same place where you found them on the other phone.

    How to transfer photos from a camera chip to my Mac Pro Desk Top?

    Take the memory card out of the camera and insert it into a card reader then use Finder to copy the iomages over to a folder on the Mac desktop.
    Basically the exact same way you would do it on any make or model computer.

    I "think" if you connect the iPad to a USB port on the computer, you can import the photos into iPhoto on the Mac.

  • HT201593 How to transfer photos from a Mac to my iPhone via USB?

    I know how to transfer photos iPhone --> Mac, bit I can't find instructions anywhere for transferring photos Mac --> iPhone, not via USB, which one would think is the fastest and safest alternative.
    Running latest Yosemite, all apps up to date + iPhone up to date as well.
    Please advice

    Sync the phone to iTunes. Configure iTunes sync for Photos to include the photos you want to transfer. Or you put your photos into iPhoto and simply sync from iPhoto as the source.

    How to transfer photos from one mac to another wirelessly

    I can give you a few ways to so:
    First (and my favorite way) is the one said above.  First, on the computer with the photos on it, you have to do is turn on file sharing (go to system preferences, sharing, file sharing) and have both computers on the same network.  Second, have the computers you want the photos on, and launch finder.  On the sidebar, there should be a "sharing" category, and below it should be the computer with the photos on it.  Click on it, and you will be prompted for the computer username and password.  It will then show all of the files on your computer.  Then, just find the files, copy them (command-C) and paste them to where you want them! (If this confuses you, I can upload a video step-by-step on how to do this).
    My second way is to use air drop. To start, Both computers must be on the same network.  Then, on the computer with the photos on it select all of the photos you want to send to the other computer (you can select many photos by holding the command key and clicking on photos), right-click (control-click) on the selected photos, find the button share, and click air drop.  On the computer you want the photos on, go to air drop on the side bar.  You should see the name of the computer on the radar-looking screen.  Click your computer.  The photos should begin to download to the downloads folder. (This feature is only compatible with certain computers)

    Hi roseabe
    Please give us more details. What kind of computer (model, speed) are you trying to transfer from and to?
    Besides, you don't hold down cmd/apple+"T" on the target computer - just the "T" key.
