I can't get an album from iPhoto to a flash drive

How do I get an album in iPhoto to a flash drive?How do I get an album from IPhoto to a flash drive????

Couple of things:
was able to use the iPhoto Export menu and export directly to an external flash drive. I was also able to select and drag the photos from iPhoto directly to the drive
Depending on the settings used that can yield exporting and dragging can produce very different results.  This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
and apparently the limit on the number of files is above anything I have done so far.
The limit is to the number of items on the Tope Level I of the drive. I can't recall it exactly but it's a multiple of 32, hence the trick is to put the image into a folder, that way there's only one item at the top level.

    How can I get the photos from iPhoto copied to a disk in the order I want??

    To ensure a custom ordering, sort the files in an album and rename the files with a sequentially numbered filename.
    File > Export > Version/Originals
    Then use "Filename > Sequential"
    or "Filename > Album name with index"

  • How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system.  Not enough memory to upgrade.

    How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system.  Not enough memory to upgrade.

    You can't.  iCloud is not for general file backup from a Mac. It's for backup up and syncing data between mobile devices and and Macs and  The following is from this Apple document: iCloud: Backup and restore overview.
    iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your (mobile) device using iOS 5 or later. Once you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch .....
    What is backed up
    You get unlimited free storage for:
    Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
    Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    You get 5 GB of free iCloud storage for:
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
    Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
    Ringtones
    Visual Voicemails
    But not from a Mac.  If you want to backup your photos and other important files I suggest you get an external hard drive and use  it with Time Machine.

  • I want to move pic's in a folder from iPhoto to a flash drive. Everything I've tried allows me to "copy" the contents of the folder, but when I access the flash drive it does not allow me to "paste".  What do I do??

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Your USB drive is formatted in NTFS, and OS X can't write on disks with NTFS. To fix this:
    1. Use an app like Paragon NTFS.
    2. Format the USB drive in another filesystem like "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)", "MS-DOS (FAT)" or "exFAT" > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html Make a backup of your files on the external disk.
    After doing that, you will be able to copy your photos to the external disk. Note that you can also use the Export feature in iPhoto to get more export options

  • How do I transfer events (photos) from Iphoto to a flash drive?

    How do I transfer events (photos) from Iphoto to a flash drive?

    In iLife iPhoto on your mac you select the  the events in the source list and use "File > Export" to export the photos to your flash drive. Just select the flash drive in the file chooser dialogue that will open.

  • How can I save my document from pages to a flash drive?

    How can I save my document from pages to a flash drive?

    Locate the file on your Mac, plug in the USB stick (the mac should prompt you to open it, or do this automatically), click and drag the file from the computer (wherever it's saved to) to the USB folder. That's just putting an already saved file there.
    To save it TO your USB stick, find it in the Save To diolog on the sidebar. Click it, then save it there.

  • Can't sync photo albums from iPhoto to iPhone 3GS

    Hi, I'm having no problems getting photos off my iphone and currently have an empty camera roll. The problem is, I can't get photo albums to sync from iTunes. I get an 'unknown error (-50) each time.
    No problem with syncing a folder, but that's a pain as it's a much more tedious way of doing things.
    All software us upto date in iTunes, iPhoto, iPhone and I'm running Leopard on a MacBook.
    Driving me mad..
    HELP!

    Hi - similar problem: cannot sync iphoto events to my new iphone 4. Itunes goes halfway through the process of reformatting the photos, sometimes restarting this process, then tells me everything is synced....but no photos have been moved to my iphone.
    Help!

  • HT2265 for some reason the only photos that do the random scrolling are events, can I include the albums from iphoto to scroll as well.   the know the albums have synced because i can view them in slideshow

    for some reason the only photos that do the random scrolling are photos in the events section of iphoto. is it possible to include the albums from iphoto to scroll as well.   the know the albums have synced because i can view them in slideshow  pls help

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I assume you are referring to the screensaver. You can change the photos used by the screensaver in the screensaver settings. Note if you have a large number of photos in the collection you choose for screensaver, not all of them will be used due to the limited storage available to the Apple TV.

  • How can i get my photos from iPhoto on snow leopard to lion?

    I had to have my photos restored from my old mac. I was running SL. I have them on an external drive. Have the mini now with lion and want to know how to get my photos!

    Why can't you simply "import to libray" from iphoto in Lion targeting your photos on the external disk?

  • I can't get my movies from iphoto to imovie

    I am very new to mac. I just got my first mac a month ago. I am trying really hard to make a movie. I can get pictures from iphoto onto imovie no problem. But I can't get movies. I can see my movies and play them on iphoto, but when I bring up things to import only photos show up. Somehow by accident I imported 8 videos straight from my camera into imovie and they work just fine..once they get in there. On the tutorial videos it says that imovie will automatically ask if you want to import videos straight from your camera onto imovie. Mine has never done this. I don't know. I have been watching tutorial videos and messing with this thing for 2 weeks and I can't seem to make a movie with any movie clips!! I can make one just fine if I only want to use pictures. I am just so frustrated!! One of the main reasons I got a mac was so I could make better videos for youtube.

    It stuck the new clip into documents and so how do I get it into imovie now?
    If you don't want the file placed there, next time change the target location before pressing the "Make" button. Appleman has given you one easy method. Another would be to simply drag the file from the "Documents" folder and drop it to any Event name in your Event Library list. Another method would be to create a new folder, name it, put the file in the named folder and place the folder into any convenient "iMovie Events" folder already in use. The next time you open iMovie, the new "Event" folder name will show up in the Event Library list. Be advised however, that movie clips cannot be dropped directly to either a Project window (like music or photos) or an Event window.
    I am so frustrated with this thing!! I just bought this new ilife disk thing because it was supposed to make it easier to make movies or something. I haven't found the 'easier' part yet. ugh.
    Multiplexed MPEG formats (MPG, MPeG, VOB, MOD, MTS, M2TS, etc.) cannot be edited at the frame level. They must be converted. You can either convert them yourself or try to get iMovie '09 to convert them as part of an "Import from Camera/Archive" process. Some individual have reported the iMovie '09 will convert multiplexed MPEG-1 files, as well as, MPEG-2 files. You can always search the forum and see if you can duplicate their work flow. I usually recommend MPEG Streamclip since it is 100% effective assuming the source file is not corrupted (i.e., improperly terminated and track descriptions are in tact.) It also has the ability to "fix" timecode breaks which can occur when segments are merged. While PC platforms ignore such things, QT does not since it uses temporal synchronization rather than spatial synchronizations.

  • Can't Synch Selected Albums from iPhoto to iPhone

    I'm trying to sync "Selected Albums" in iPhoto from iTunes, but the option is grayed out, so I can only choose "All photos and albums." I do have albums created in iPhoto. What's the problem?

    I'm having the same problem as well. My iPhoto has about 15 albums, all with standard naming conventions (no numbers, letters, crazy characters) and I only have the option to sync "all photos" or "last import." iPhone does not recognize any of the albums I have created in iPhone. I can sync all photos, but I've got a couple gig worth of photos that I don't need on my iPhone.

  • How can I delete an album from iPhoto?

    I've just downloaded the iPhoto app for iOS 6. While experimenting with it, I created an album but I can't delete it. Has anyone else had this problem, and how can I delete it? I've hidden the photo but can't remove the album!

    There is some info about the iPhoto app on this page : http://help.apple.com/iphoto/ipad/1.0/
    As far as I know all the albums and photos that you have in the Photos app will appear in the iPhoto app

  • IMac 500Gb HD is nearing capacity. Can I move my photos from iPhoto to 1Tb external drive?

    My new iMac's 500Gb HD is nearing capactiy. Due to my many photos. Can I remove all of the photos from iPhoto on iMac and export all my photos to a dedicated 1Tb external drive. And can I then manage the photos via iPhoto on my iMac? Thanks.
    Art

    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

  • Moving photos from iphoto to a flash drive

    Not sure what I'm doing here but I have a flash drive taht I am trying to move pictures from iphoto to. I'm still in Windows world I guess and am looking for the flash drive on the left side so i can drag and drop the photos into it but I don't see it anywhere. What am I doing wrong?? thanks.
    Rob

    usually for me, things appear on the top right desktop. Or, click on finder> file, new finer window and if Finder pref's are set to show HD, then the thing should show there- ( from finder>file drop down> create new folder and drag the pics to that... AFTER  clicking on the thing so that is waiting for you
