I want to arrange photos in iPhoto by specific import group

Mid 2010 Mac Pro, Running Mavericks 10.9.4
Iphoto 09 verision 8.1.2 (424)
Is there a fix, I would appreciate it.
Also is there a way to save everything to an external hard drive because Im giving this Mac away and want to restart to original settings but save all of the data just photos, music, and documents/downloads. What is the method for proper backup with the ability to access the information later? Would it be possible to access from windows pc or only Apple Macintosh?
Once again I appreciate it in advance. An apple day takes the doctor away!

Fix for what?
To save to an external drive:
The iPhoto Library:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
This will not work with Windows.
To save just the Photos:
File -. Export

I'm a brand new Mac user. I want to send photos from Iphoto to my local store for printing, like I can do in Picasa. I can't find that option in Iphoto.

I'm a brand new Mac user. I want to send photos from Iphoto to my local store for printing, like I can do in Picasa. I can't find that option in Iphoto. I do not want to order them through Itunes.

I have not idea how you do it with Picasa but with iPhoto you either export the photos to a desktop folder and upload from there or burns that folder to CD - or from the upload window use the media browser in the lower left hand corner of the upload windows - media ==> photos ==> iPhoto

Does anyone know of a good online video instruction on how to put together a photo slideshow in the new iMovie version. I found uTube videos using imported videos, but I want to use photos in iPhoto.

Does anyone know of a good online video instruction on how to put together a photo slideshow in the new iMovie 11 version. I found uTube videos using imported videos, but I want to use photos in iPhoto. I'm very familiar with how to do this in the pervious version, but it's no so intuitive in the new version.

Has anyone tried this one.. I am not sure if I am allowed to post information about other products... so if I am not please delete this part of my message.

Should i delete my photos from iPhoto after I import to aperture

should i delete my photos from iPhoto after I import to aperture? What is the easiest way to do this?

Depends.
Did you copy the files into the Aperture Library on Import?
If so, it's safe to do so. My tip: wait a few weeks until you're happy that you're committed to Aperture.
Drag the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder to the trash.

How do i post photos from iphoto to a facebook group instead of my own page?

I know how to post photos from Iphoto to my Facebook page, but cannot find a "simple" way to post photos in Iphoto to a Facebook "group" of which I am a member.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

There isn't a way.
You'll need to use another method.

I want to arrange photos on one page for a christmas card. How do I do that?

I want to move 6 to 8 photos from IPhoto to one blank page that I can then print and copy to send out as a Christmas card. How do I do that?

Do you have Pages? If so open a blank layout document and add photo placeholders then add your hotos to them and arrange as needed.

I want to order photos on iPhoto. I have logged in one photo, and then my choices are cancel and buy now. How do I order more than one photo at a time?

I would like to order more than one photo on iPhoto. I have downloaded one picture, and then my choices are cancel and buy now. I would like to download other photos to have them printed, too. How do I do that?

Wich version of iPhoto do you have? You need iPhoto '09 or '11 to order prints.
Make an album of all photos you want to order in the same order.
Then select all photos at once, when you use Share > order prints.
You should see a panel like this, where you can mark the quantities. The screenshot is from iPhoto 9.6:

I want to move photos from iPhoto to my Iphone without syncing my iphone photos to my Mac

Hello,
I want to copy photos on my computer in iPhoto to my iphone without transfering the pictures on my phone to my computer. I believe that the syncing feature in itunes will download the photos into itunes as well as upload the photos I've selected. In summary:
Photos from computer to phone: Good
photos from phone to computer: Bad
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks.

I want to copy photos on my computer in iPhoto to my iphone without transfering the pictures on my phone to my computer.
Simple.
Once iPhoto opens, don't import anything..
Just quit the iPhoto application.
I believe that the syncing feature in itunes will download the photos into itunes
iTunes does not download photos from the phone or into iTunes.
iPhoto imports them if you tell it to.

My iPad is connected to my laptop. Importing photos into iPhoto. Have imported them. Now I can't find the "eject" button in the left margin or the eject link in file. Should I just disconnect the iPad from the laptop?

Trying to transfer photos from my ipad to my laptop. iphoto imported them. Now I want to disconnect my ipad from the laptop and cannot find an "eject" button or link. Do I just disconnect it? Don't want to lose photos in the process.

Shut both device down before you disconnect as a precaution.

Accessing photos in iPhoto Library without importing the whole library?

I watched the Aperture video tutorials and thought I saw how to access photos to manipulate from the iPhoto Library without importing the library, but now I can't find the reference!
Ideally I don't want to import the whole iPhoto library as it is rather large.
I simply would like to open photos from it to work on.
However, when I try to import files and navigate to my Pictures folder there is no sign of the iPhoto Library, only an empty file called "iPhoto Library Recovered Photos".
Note that I can access photos in other folders but I can't even see my iPhoto library, let alone open photos from it.

GOT IT AT LAST !
Browse through iPhoto Library as above and drag chosen photo(s) into the project in the Inspector.
The photo can then be adjusted and finally saved by selecting File>Export>Version etc.

IPhoto crashes when importing groups of large, scanned images

I have a folder of 16 scanned images, that range in size from 3 MB to 50 MB (first time scanning and scanned at really high resolution so they could be blown up in books or calendars - have learned better since). iPhoto quits when I try to import the whole folder. If I drag them into iPhoto one or two at a time, they import. Is there a size limit on what iPhoto will import? I have not reached the 250,000 size limit on iphoto itself. But I am well over 100,000 photos. I have a large number of folders that have as many or more scanned images in them and do not want to have to compress each one singly for import into iPhoto, or to drag by ones or twos into the app. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Check the Console messages for iPhoto to see if there's any indication what's making iPhoto choke on importing more than a couple of those files at a time. Can you import more from a camera? What's the format and color mode and profile of those scanned files?

How do I arrange photos in iPhoto slideshow?

On my iPad - the album that I created in Photos appears in the iPhoto app as expected. Only now the sequence is out of order in the iPhoto slideshow. It does not match what is in the Photo album. How do I move the slides in the iPhoto app to the correct order? Thanks!

Want to view Photos from iPhoto on TV set

I purchased Composite AV Cable from the Apple Store and was told that this was all I needed to view pictures from iPhoto on my TV. It didn't work because the TV didn't recognize the iPhone , so I returned the cable. Later I spoke to a friend and was told that I also needed a docking station in addition to the AV cable to view pictures on the TV.
Before I drive back to the Apple store, does anyone know if this will work. I have an iPhone 3G and I want to view pictures on an older TV set.
Thanks,

As long as you have composite input on your TV (and know how to set your TV to use that input, of course), you can view your photos from the iPhone. No need for a dock. But you must +carefully read+ the description of the cable's function, which states, +"Connect an iPod or iPhone to your television with the Apple Composite AV Cable, gather up your friends, and watch videos or slideshows together on the big screen."+
Slideshows, not photos. You must launch the Photos app, select an album (or the Library) then tap the Play button to start a slideshow. That's what is output to the TV, not just whatever picture (or other activity on the screen) is displayed - just slideshows and videos.

Nikon D50 - DO not want to upload photos into iPhoto

Hello, I have a Nikon D50 camera, and I do not want iphoto to open when I connect the camera to the computer. iphoto automatically opens and I would much rather just copy the files to my hardrive myself. How do I do this?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
In your Applications folder you have Image Capture. Launch it and open its Preferences. This is where you set what you want to happen when you connect your camera. You can set it to launch Image Capture, which you can use to download the photos from your camera to a folder of your choice. Or set it to open nothing, and launch the application of your choice manually.
Regards.

My new iPad2 synched OK on initial setup but I didn't really want all the photos in iPhoto transferred so on later synch I tried limiting the sych to certain albums only to find that only a fraction of the albums now on the iPad. I tried synching again.

My new iPad2 set up OK with all the photos in my iPhoto transferring . On a later synch I tried limiting the transfer to only certain albums. After that I find only a fraction of the desired albums transferred. I tried synching again without any restrictions but get the same limited number of photos and albums. I think I've seen the solution to this fault somewhere - something to do with deleting the iPhoto cache but can't find it.

Update: I was unsuccessful on my attempt to delete the iPhoto Cache folder because I didn't follow the directions exactly. There seems to be more than one folder with an identical name. Finally succeeded in getting all my photos back on the iPad2.
If one desires to change the selection of photos snc'd, however, it apears that you must change the selecion from the iTunes screen while the iPad is plugged in and the select "Apply". Unfortunate, the sync starts immediately when you plug the iPad in and it doesn't seem to smart to stop the sync. It appears you have to make a change in iTunes while syncing. Let it complete. Detach the iPad. Go back and delete the iPhoto cache ad directed. Then the next time you sync presumably the new sync restrictions will apply. I didn't want to risk stopping the sync that started automatically to change the sync options and then direct it to sync again but that might work. Too bad we don't have more control over the starting of syn when the iPad is attached. Maybe we actually do but I haven't noticed it.
