I am lost. I put photos from a DVD into organizer?

I put images from a DVD into Elements 9. My images show up in my catalog and it allows me to edit and to print. It never asks me to put in the disk. BUT once I got a message that elements could not do something because the image is on an external disk.
How do I check where they are?
If they are only on the external disk, why did it let me print and do some editing?
Is it using just the thumb nail? Wouldn't I lose a lot of quality. I have only done 4x6 prints so far.
I can't find the answers in the manual.
If they are only on the DVDs, what I guess I am asking is, how do I manage them if they stay on the dvds. I have one to three DVDs for each year.
Thanks for any help,
confused and bewildered

Thanks, I lost the side panel. I begin to understand. I see my photo files and they are all within the c drive. They must all be imported otherwise it would show F (DVD) drive wouldn't it?
Elements created a folder and called it "photos from removeable media" and all my photos from DVDs are within that folder. To me 'from removeable media" seemed to indicate that they are thumbnails only but I guess not. There is a message that says "No files from this folder have been  imported into the organizer. To add any files right click on the folder  and select 'import to organizer'  Do I read this that Elements does not  see any files in the master folder since there are only folders in the  master folder?
All my file organization is gone from the files imported from removeable media. The whole year is just blobbed together. What is the best way to put the pictures back into the subfolders I had on the disks.For example, I create a master folder (Boston trip) and then within it subfolders (A at hotel, B tours, C people) Should I delete everything and start again. First copy to the hard drive to keep my folders? Then import to Elements? I have 2 or 3 DVDs per year.
I appreciate your help. Thanks again,
Linda

    I added photos from my laptop onto my iphone 4s,now I can't delete them. There is no trash can for these photos,but there is for others. What have I done?

    Sounds like you used iTunes to sync them to your phone. You will need to use iTunes to unsync them - they can't be deleted on the phone.

  • When i put photos from my iphone to the stream

    when i put photos from my iphone to the stream, can i delete them from the phone?

    No, the Stream is used to sync photos from one device to another, not to store them long term.  Always sync photos to a computer to archive them.  Once there, you can delete them from your device.

    The Lion upgrade does not touch iPhoto. However, you may need to purchase an iPhoto upgrade.
    Look in your /Home/Pictures/ folder for the iPhoto Library file.

  • Putting Photos from SD card on a Thumbdrive

    I am trying to put photos from 4 SD cards onto a flashdrive.  I PHOTO won't let me do it without saying that I need to override the photos already on the drive.  A SD card will start each card with Number 0001, and therefore, each card has a 1, etc.  How do I get all the cards on this one drive???????  Each card has something like 750 plus pictures on it and they run in succession from a trip I took, so I can't change every picture.  I tried to renumber some from the info box and it won't let me do that either!  Anyone help me?????

    Your camera names those files, and you've set it to go back to 0001 everytime you chnage the card, so now you have four sets of files with the same names. iPhoto won't export them because to do so wouls end up with files overwriting each other.
    So, you need to change the names of the files when iPhoto export them.
    To do this:
    Select  the Photos in iPhoto in chronological order and go Photos -> Batch Change
    Select to give them a Title: something like "Trip to Wherever"
    Check the box to Append a number to each
    Now you have all the photos with a different title.
    Next: Export them.
    File -> Export and in the Export dialogue you can choose to use the Title as Filename
    This User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
    Export to a folder on the desktop. Drag that to the USB Device.

    BTW: You seem to have a stuck question mark key. You need to get it looked at as it makes you look silly.

  • Putting photos from mac onto itouch or iphone.

    I am anew user in the mac world and would love to find out how to put photos from computer onto my Itouch and Iphone. Help me please.

    As with all other data you sync or transfer via iTunes. When you connect your device then select it from iTunes' sidebar you can click on the various tabs in the main window where you can configure what to sync to the device. One of those tabs is 'Photos.' You have the option of transferring all the pictures in your iPhoto library if you use one. If not, then put the pictures you want transferred into a separate folder and select that folder in the iTunes 'Photos' tab.
    I do believe you will find this explained in the user manual for the Touch and the iPhone. If you don't have one then you can download a PDF copy from support.apple.com/manuals/.

  • I upgraded to OSX and lost all my photos from Ilife acan I get them back

    I upgraded to OSX and lost all my photos from Iphoto, can I get them back.

    Are you sure, you are viewing the correct iPhoto library? iPhoto may have created a new Library.
    Hold down the alt/options  key ⌥, while you double click iPhoto to launch it.  Is there more than one Photo Library in the panel that opens? Then try the other libraries, if your photos are in there.
    Regards

  • How do i get my Nikon photos from viewNX 2 into the iPhoto library?

    1. How do I get my Nikon photos from ViewNX 2 into the iPhoto Library?
    2.I tried by copying them and moving to the iphoto folder. Now the Iphoto applicationwon't open because it is locked. the help item says to open it with command option keys down to get the iphoto library First aid window. it does not come up.

    How did you add the photos to the iPhoto Library folder?  The way to import photos is to drag them onto the iPhoto icon in the Dock or into the open iPhoto window.  
    it does not come up.
    What does not come up?  What happens when you try to launch iPhoto with those two keys held down?
    Try the following again being sure to hold those keys down before launcing iPhoto and until the window opens:
    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed: 
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Is there a way to put music from an ipod into the music library?

    I want to put music from an ipod into the music library. Is there a way of doing it because i dont know how?

    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases.  File>Transfer Purchases
    Everything on your ipod should also be on your computer and included in your regular backup of your computer.

  • I am using Iphone with windows. I have draged photos from my computer into Iphone in the past, but cant seem to do it now. How do I move photos from my pc to my iphone without deleting photos that are on the phone.

    I am using Iphone with windows. I have draged photos from my computer into Iphone in the past, but cant seem to do it now. How do I move photos from my pc to my iphone without deleting photos that are on the phone.

    You cannot drag pics from computer to iphone.  This has never been a feature of iphone.
    You sync them as you would anything esle.
    You select photos from the photos tab.  Whatever is selected will be on your iphone.  Anything not selected will not be. Make sure that everything you want on your iphone is selected, then sync.
