1. Connect your USB drive to your iMac.
2. Open iPhoto.
3. Select pictures in iPhoto and export them to your USB drive.
Let us know if you have further questions.

    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.

  • 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.

    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

  • 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

    Try selecting them and dragging them to the mounted flash drive. Or select then CTRL- or RIGHT-click and select Copy from the options list. Open the Finder on the flash drive and press COMMAND-V to paste your selection to the flash drive.
    Note that dragging or pasting does not give you any control over the photo - you get the current preview with no metadata - the export command is a better way since it lets you make  your own choices in what is exported and how much metadata is included

  • Dropbox "Import Photos from iPhoto" Killing HD Space?

    I just up-graded to 1 TB Dropbox Pro account (Dropbox 2.10.41, Yosemite 10.10) and hoped that "Import Photos from iPhoto" (under preferences -> import) would be a great way of backing-up my iPhoto library without the hick-ups reported in this forum when moving the library folder to a dropbox folder.
    It seems though that now all my photos are not only copied to the cloud but also duplicated on my local hard drive
    Right or wrong? If right, that would be ridiculous because it would kill HD space unnecessarily, wouldn't it?

    Thank you for your prompt response!
    I am aware that Dropbox is not a feature of iPhoto, and I have spent considerable time researching the web to find an answer to my question before posting here - but I didn't find an answer.
    I also found the link on aurelio.net which you have posted, but even after reading it twice, it does not seem to answer the question of duplicating photos on the local HD.
    I highly appreciate the quality of this forum with an outstanding level of expertise, and I thought the expert Mac users might be able (and willing) to provide some advice even if Dropbox is not an Apple product.

  • 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.

  • Import photos from iphoto to LR5?

    How do you import photos from iphoto to Lr5?

    The first step is to find out where are your images stored. Go to Applications/iPhoto and right-click on “show package
    You should now be able to see the iPhoto “library.”
    The next step is to decide if you want to keep the images where they are or move them to a new location. Using Adobe Lightroom you can accomplish both tasks. You can MOVE the images to a fast and reliable external hard drive or onto your computer hard drive in an “images” folder (or whatever you have called you parent folder for all your images).
    In Adobe Lightroom’s Import dialog, navigate to the folder that contains you iPhoto Library, make sure MOVE is selected, and select the new destintion on the drive you want to move them to (the External or your Hard drive)
    The pictures will be MOVED from the iPhoto location, and imported  through Lightroom.

  • Iphoto 9.5 won't import photos from iPhoto 7.5.  Library will not update using the iPhoto library upgraded application.

    iphoto 9.5 won't import photos from iPhoto 7.5.  Library will not update using the iPhoto library upgrader application.  Repeatedly says it can't locate photos even when told to cancel.  I think the photos in question are in Nikon RAW format.

    iPhoto 9.5 immediately tries to "upgrade" my library using the upgrader.
    iPhoto 9.5 asks you to run the upgrader to prepare the library for 9.5. It then will update the library to its format.
    You need to do the following:
    1 - go to your Applications/Utilities folder and double click on the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application. 
    2 - select Choose Library, navigate to your iPhoto library, select it and let the upgrader do its thing.
    3 - launch iPhoto 9.5 to open and finish the conversion of the library.

  • How can i import photos from iphoto 9.2.3 to 9.6

    I am migrating from a 2009 ibook to a Macbook pro 13.3 retina. How can  can I import photos from iPhoto 9.2.3 library to  the 9.6 iPhoto.
    I am running 10.6.8 snow leopard on the ibook which has 4Gb of memory.
    I tried but it just loaded icons to the 9.6 library.
    I am reluctant to go to Yosimite on the ibook and it seems this would not solve it anyway.

    You don't import one library to another.  Just copy the library from the iBook to the Pictures folder on shout new MacBook Pro. If you have another library already on the MBP rename it so you don't overwrite it with the old library.
    Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and select the newly copied library and let iPhoto convert it to the new version.
    Do you have photos in the library on the new MacBook Pro that you want to combine with the older library?

  • How can I import photos from iPhoto-library to edit in Photoshop CC? - and save it back to the iPhoto-library?

    How can I import photos from iPhoto-library to edit in Photoshop CC? - and save it back to the iPhoto-library?

    How to access iPhoto images for use in Photoshop
    1. In the Finder, navigate to Users > [user name} > Pictures > iPhoto Library. 
    2. Control-click the iPhoto Library file and choose Show Package Contents.
    3. A Finder window opens that shows the contents. The Masters folder (or called Originals folder) contains all of the photographs that are in iPhoto. 
    Photoshop cannot access this folder, but if you make a duplicate of the folder, the dupe will be accessible -- so:
    4. Control-click the folder named Masters (or Originals) and choose Duplicate. 
    5, Drag the duplicate folder which is named "Masters copy" or “Originals copy” from the iPhoto Library Finder window to the Desktop.
    6. Open images in Photoshop from file on desktop.
    7  Rename the folder and move it elsewhere (probably to the Pictures folder), if desired.  

  • I'm working to set up my website with iWeb and it won't let me import photos from iPhoto! Whats up?

    I'm working to set up my website with iWeb and it won't let me import photos from iPhoto! Whats up?

    Will Image capture (in your applications foldr) see them and bring to disk? If so then once they are safely off the memory card and on disk use the camera's format command to reformat the memory card
    and can you impoprted to iPhtoo from disk? Will preview open the photos on disk?
