I can't copy my photos from my Macbook to a Seagate hardrive.

I'm assuming its because I had used it/synched it to a PC prior to getting this Mac. Help??? I need to use this hard drive to transfer files!

It sounds like it was formatted as NTFS, which the mac will not write to without some special software.  If there is nothing on the drive, or you don't care to lose whats on the drive, then you can reformat it as HFS+ if you'll only use it with a mac, or MS-DOS if you need to use it with both a mac and a windows pc.

    I don't think you need Preview.
    Select the image and use File->export and you have full control over the size and compression.

    Same way you transfer music, apps, etc.
    Go to the photo tab, select what you want to sync, then sync.

  • Can I copy existing photos from pc to ipad and retain current folders?

    I have existing photos in folders on my pc, I want to copy them to iPad so I can edit them while traveling, then update them back to pc to print, etc. Is this possible and if so, how. Thanks!

    Hello John,
    The process for geting video from your computer to the iPad in a manner that iMovie can utilize it is going to be handled through the 'Photos' tab of the device screen in iTunes.

    Wouldn't that would be a breach of your licence? Plus, can you be sure yould get all the ancillary files from HD/Library and System/Library?

  • How can I copy aperture 3 from my macbook to my new macbook pro?

    I bought a new macbook and want to put aperture 3 on it. I was told to go to the app store and click on purchases and install to my new computer from there. I am doing that right now but the internet where I am is so slow it's taking forever.
    Is the a faster more expedient way to copy it from my macbook to my new macbook pro?

    If you bought Aperture from the App Store this is the best and safest way to install on the other machine.
    Pro Apps like Apertue do not like being copied and will sometimes experience problems if copied. They really need to be installed from the install media.

    You should be able to copy albums or folders using iTunes.
    Click the Photos tab in iTunes.
    Mac users have the option to sync with iPhoto
    Windows users have the option to sync with PSE.

  • How can I copy selected photos from iPhoto on my iMac to my iPhone 6?

    I used to have many photos on my iPhone 6. I also have thousands of photos on my iMac. After iDrive became available I decided to try it, and uploaded my large photos library to my iPhone and iPad. After using it for awhile I decided against keeping all these photos on my other devices. I removed everything from iDrive and my IOS devices. Now I'd like to find a way to restore some of my photos to IOS devices.
    I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to do that.
    Thanks

    Put the photos you want to upload to your iPhone in an album in iPhoto.  Connect the iPhone to the Mac and launch iTunes. 
    Click on your iPhone icon
    and then on Photos
    Next check Sync Photos and Selected albums.  Find the album with the photos you want to upload and select it. 
    Lastly click on the Sync button.

  • Installed new osx lion can't copy my photos from the old iPhoto library to the new one..

    hey guys hope u can held me ..
    when i open the new iphoto libary it says i need to istall an older version of iphoto libary ...

    1 - you never "copy" an iPhoto library to any other iPhoto library - exactly what did you do
    2 - installiung Lion typically has no effect on iPhoto - you are only upgrading the OS - not the iLife software
    Exactly what is the error message - I am not aware of iPhoto ever saying tha tyou need to inatall an older version of anything and it is impossible to ever "install" an iPhoto library - you install the iPhoto application - it creates or converts the iPhoto library
    We need to know what version of iPhoto you have and exactly what is said when you launch iPhoto

    Hi Edmar
    iCloud storage is largely designed for syncing of daily work processes and "short term" storage for IOS devices.

  • How do I copy Iphoto pictures from a MacBook Air to a MAC OSX?

    How can I most easily move (copy) selected photos from my Macbook Air to my Mac OSX? I do not want to remove the photos from the Mac Book Air.

    Export them from iPhoto on the Air
    File -> Export
    This User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
    THen copy them to the other machine and import them there.
    If you want the edit history and all versions then you'll need to use iPhoto Library Manager

  • Can I copy a Photos library from one Mac to another?

    I have upgraded an iMac and MacBook Pro to Yosemite 10.10.3, and am switching to the new Photos app and iCloud Photo Library.  I want to keep full copies of my Photos library on both the iMac and MacBook Pro, with an Optimised version of the library on my iPhone.
    My iMac has the master Photos library.  It is slowly uploading the 28,000 photos in the library to iCloud Photo Library, and they are slowly appearing on my other devices. 
    The question is, can I copy the Photos library from the iMac to the MacBook Pro via a USB hard drive, and expect iCloud Photo Library to work out that each photo is duplicated in the two libraries, or will I end up with duplicates in iCloud Photo Library?  What would be the effect if I were to change the MacBook Pro to Optimised after copying the Photos library?
    If I can do this, it will mean I can see my Photos library on my laptop much sooner, and I might be able to get my MacBook Pro to the office which has much quicker upload speeds.  I don't fancy taking my iMac in to the office, and my boss might ask an awkward question or two...
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Yes, and no.  Yes, if the plist(s) don't contain any pathname info.  Obviously, no, if they do, unless of course the other system has the exact same directory structure and filenames.
    I should add a little caveat about preference panes.  User prefpanes may store plists in ~/Library/ByHost.  And the plist filenames in there usually have a long code and letter sequence which I think is machine specific.  So they probably would be problematic moving to another machine.

  • When I copied a photo from any site, how can I see it in iPhoto

    When I copied a photo from any site, how can I see it in iPhoto?

    When you tap and hold on image in safari, there will be context menu. Usually there two options at least:
    * Save image
    * Copy
    If you'll tap Copy - it will be copied to buffer and you can paste it at your new email (for ex.)
    If you'll tap Save image - it will be saved in Photos app on your iPad (in my case it saves at Camera roll album)
