Iphoto exporting an album entirely

I want to export an album from iPhoto into a file.....but I want the album to remain an album and not  end up as separate files. Many thanks if you can answer my question

An album is like a virtual folder.  So to keep the photos together as they are in the album create a new folder on the Desktop and export the photos into it.
If you want to put them all in a single file launch Preview and drag all of the photos onto the Preview icon on the Dock.  That will create a Preview document with each photo as a separate page.  It can be saved as a pdf file.

  • Exporting as Albums in iPhoto

    Hi. I just purchased an HP MediaSmart Server and would like to export all my photos to reside on the server. iPhoto exports single albums or the whole library. Is there a utility (or anything??) that would take my whole library and export all the albums automatically. Right now I would have to do each album individually.
    Thanks!

    This didn't work for me.  I'm using iPhoto '11, with OS 10.7.5 Lion.  When I export a photo from iPhoto to my desktop, then open it in Preview and go to the Inspector, the Created Date and the Modified Date are both today, not the date in Dec. 2008 when the photo was taken.
    This is a pretty big issue.  Why does this happen?
    Probably you are looking at the file metadata in the inspector not the photo EXIF metadata as TD's example shows

  • Exporting an album or group of photos from IPhoto 08

    I have read the various posts on exporting photos from IPhoto 08. I have an email program that allows only one attachment/file. When I export an album to the desktop, it is not delivered as album but includes all the separate JPEG photos in the album. My desktop then shows only the separate JPEG photos. Thus I am unable to attach an entire album/file to any program, but only separate pictures. What can I do?? By the way, I old and not real sharp on the Mac, so make any suggestions simple please! Thanks!

    When you export the Album, make a folder on the desktop to receive the pics:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    Then you can zip that folder (in the Finder: File Menu -> Compress 'Folder Name'. This will make it a zip file. Attach that to your email.
    What do you use for email? I've never heard of one that allows only a single attachment.

  • I have lost my entire IPhoto Library and albums

    IMac OS X  V 10.6.8
    I have lost my entire IPhoto Library and albums. 
    How do I restore?

    Your only other option is to stop using your Mac as soon as possible to minimize precious data being overwritten to, purchase a high quality, fast external hard drive, preferably a FIreWire external hard drive such as these
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/1394/USB/EliteAL/eSATA_FW800_FW400_USB
    using an OS X Snow Leopard install disc, format this external drive as a Mac OS extended (journaled) formatted hard drive with a GUID partition scheme and then, using a install disc of OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, install a fresh copy of OS X Snow Leopard and boot your Mac to that external hard drive by using the Startup Disc icon in the OS X System Preferences Panel to boot your Mac to the external hard drive. Once your Mac is booted and running from this hard drive,  then use the OS X Software Update feature to update that version of OS X Snow Leopard to OS X 10.6.8.
    Then, you need to do a web search for a Data recovery software such as Prosoft Engineering's Data Rescue and purchase, download, install and use this software to perform data recovery of your iMac's internal hard drive following the proper instructions on how to use the software. to recover the data.
    Be advised that any images you recover will no longer be in a format that IPhoto will read and most like will just be a folder with just the images alone without any more linkage to the IPhoto library, but I am not completely sure about this as I always have redundant backups of my entire system.
    If this seems all too complicated and complex to you, you need to stop using your Mac ASAP and either contact an Apple Store or Apple Authorised reseller/service/repair center to find out how much it will cost for them to recover your data and bring your Mac in for a more professional data recovery.
    I still strongly advise you purchase a high quality, large storage, fast, external hard drive to use for future data backups to prevent such a catastrophic data loss from happening, again.
    Every  computer user SHOULD have, at least, one external backup drive and having redundant backup drives is even better.

  • In IPhoto 11 I have made an album and rearrange the photos in the order I require them. When export the album to allow me to burn them to disk to be viewed in Windows they do not maintain the same order. What am I doing wrong?

    In IPhoto 11 I have made an album and rearrange the photosin the order I require them. When export the album to allow me to burn them todisk to be viewed in Windows they do not maintain the same order. What am I doingwrong?

    When you sort the Album in iphoto are you sorting manually? Or by date of the photos?
    When you sort in the Finder how are are you sorting?
    Here's one way to do what you're trying to do:
    Create your Album and sort the pics as you want them. Then Photos Menu: Batch Change -> Set Title to Text "John's Birthday", for instance, and tick the box to append a number to each Photo. Now your photos are titled 'John's Birthday 001, John's Birthday 002 ... etc'
    Then File -> Export and in the Export dialogue set the Filename to "Use Title"
    Sort on Filename in the Finder and you end up with a folder full of images in the same order as the Album in iPhoto.

  • How do i export an album in iphoto to a harddrive

    how do i export an album in iphoto to a harddrive

    Simply, you don't. An Album is a concept that exists in iPhoto only and not in the Finder.
    What you can do is export the photos from the Album to a Folder on the Hard Drive. Use the File -> Export command.
    This User Tip

    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.

  • Export an album from iPhoto to Aperture

    When I tried to export an album from iPhoto the following notice appeared; "Unable to create/users/the house icon/Pictures. Any ideas? I appreciate all the help you can give me. Thank you.

    You can get this message if your iPhoto Library is corrupted. Go through that Album and Select the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). A Finder Window should open with the file selected. Does it?

  • My iphoto doesnt let me export an album to quicktime video.

    Since i updated my iphoto, when i try to export an album to quicktime video says that is impossible to find the file and didnt let me do it. Anybody know why is happening that.

    i try to export an album to quicktime video
    What do you mean? Are you trying to render a slideshow as a quicktime video? What exactly is the error message?
    says that is impossible to find the file and didnt let me do it.
    What file cannot be found?  If it is an image file, remove the offending photo from the slideshow. Maybe for one of your images the original master image file cannot be found. Do you see any exclamation points on the thumbnails of your photos?

    BTW: This is the iPhoto on IOS devices forum. I'll ask the community hosts to relocate your question to the iLife iPhoto forum. You will get more help there.

  • Is it possible to copy the iphoto library and albums from a G5 to a macpro

    I would like to copy my iphoto library and albums from a G5 10.5.8 iphoto 8 to a macpro 10.6.2 with iphoto 9. I would like all the photos and albums to appear in the macpro just as they were in the G5. I have vantecs ezshare adapter that allows you to drag files between two computers mac or windows. Copying photos should not be a problem but its the albums I want to go with the photos and appear in iphoto 9 on the macpro.

    iPhoto '09 will open and convert any previous version of the iphoto library - if it is working correctly on the old system it should convert
    Firewire target mode is a good way to transfer the iPhoto library - make the connection and drag the entire iPhoto library at one intact as a single entity to the new computer (put it on the desktop or somewhere so as not to mess up what you have done - depress the option key and launch iPhoto on the new system and select the library you just copies (be sure not to select the one on the old computer - you do not want to convert it - conversion is a one way operation) - it should open and convert and be ready to use - then you can quit iPhoto and place it where you want and do the option launch again to tell iPhoto where it is - and do the option launch any time you want to switch between multiple libraries

  • In photoshop 10 when I export an album to a dvd I can't open it on my computer with windows 7 what do I do

    IN photoshop 10 when I export an album to a dvd, I can't op@en it on my computer with windows 7. Help

    The ! means that iPhoto cannot find the master or original file.
    Assuming that these same photos behave correctly in the main library then it suggests the burn has gone wrong somewhere.
    As a matter of interest... why are you burning libraries to DVD? If it's a form of back up then it's a dead end. Your next version of iPhoto won't be able termed or work with them, and your next Mac won't have an optical drive.

  • IPhoto Sharing of Albums

    I have a Macbook Pro Computer and an iMac. I created an Album on my MacBook Pro computer and want to share/move this to my iMac through sharing. I've set up sharing between my two computers and see the photos on each computer, but can't find a way to share my albums or even burn these to CD to move them. Any help or tips would be appreciated!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Three options:
    Best:
    Use iPhoto Library Manager to move the album, photos, versions and associated metadata between the Libraries.
    Next best:
    Export the Album from the host Library (File -> Export) to a folder on the desktop. Drag it to the other machine. Import to the other Library. This way you don't get the multiple versions. You can write the metadata to the files on export.
    Least Best
    Enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and move to the other Mac. There, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    You can drag the pics from Shared Library in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    THis way you don't get the versions and will miss a lot of the metadata.

  • Iphoto - restoring events/albums

    I am using OSX 10.6.8 and Iphoto 11 9.2.1. It was not responding so I did the alt and create new album thing - its works now. But I have nothing in it. How do I restore all my events/ albums and slideshows??? I found iphoto in time machine and tried to relaunch it that way but it still only has the one album in it.
    My 21st is on Saturday and I need the slide show.. Please help!!

    To back up the Library:
    Most Simple Back Up
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex:
    Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
    If you were to delete iphoto then they would go into the trash. So an obvious thing would be to export the Albums to the finder first. They'll export as folders full of images.
    i know want to back up to this drive so albums are separate as they were in windows.
    Then export the albums. Quite pointless but that's what you do. Much better to back up the Library.

  • I added 2 cd's to itunes 11, I have an ipod classic 30gb, how do I export the albums from itunes to my ipod?

    Hi Ihave an ipod classic 30gb, i imported 2 cd's into itunes on win xp pro sp3, how do I export the albums from itunes to my ipod?

    It depends on how you previously added content to the iPod?  Or are saying the iPod is currently empty, and you want to add these albums to it?
    If you want to sync your entire iTunes music library to the iPod, which may or may not be just these two albums at this point, you can do the following.  Select the iPod in iTunes, so that you see the iPod's "management" screen.  If you are using the latest iTunes 12, you do this by clicking the "device button" on the horizontal bar that goes across the iTunes window (near the top).  The button's icon looks like the connected device.
    On the iPod's screen, there is a sidebar (along left side of window).  In the sidebar, under Settings, click Music.  To the right, the iPod's Music settings screen is shown, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.  Near the top, there is a checkbox for Sync Music.  Check that box to enable automatic syncing.  NOTE:  If that box is not already checked, checking it will replace the iPod's existing content with content from your iTunes library.  Any songs on the iPod now that are not in your current iTunes library will be lost.
    Below that setting, there are two options for how to sync songs.  30GB is a decent amount of storage space, so if your entire iTunes library can fit on your iPod, you can use the option to sync Entire music library.  Then click Apply.  iTunes syncs your entire iTunes music library to your iPod.  Going forward, any changes to your iTunes music library (such as adding more albums or songs) will sync automatically to the iPod, the next time it is connected (or when you click Sync if already connected).
    If your situation is different, please reply back with more details.

  • Iphoto quit --  All Albums are gone

    I organized all my photos into Albums. When I was working in iphoto, the program quit. I went back into iphoto and my albums are gone? Any hope of getting them back

    Unfortunately the only way to save that information is to make a backup of the entire iPhoto library. If your hard drive has sufficient space without impinging on the recommended 15% or 10G minimum free space, then that's what you can do. Then using a backup application, I like Synk, you can backup from folder A ( the original library) to folder B (the duplicate copy) frequently and all you'll be copying are any newly added files or any changed files. Takes very little time. A good reason for this approach is detailed in A Tale of Woe and a Lesson to be Learned. It applies no matter what platform you might be on.
