IPhoto How to "UNZIP" from ED

Greetings, I posted this a while ago, but the only response didn't work ("double click on the photos." ? Nope) ... & there was no way for me to reply to it.
I've also been looking through every "manual" & every "help" & most every discussion on iPhoto that's here, but so far, nada answers. So, here goes.
My Problem - How do you UNZIP photos uploaded from an External Drive & a USB... Is there a way to do so, or am I stuck with the small dpi?
In May 2012 my wonderful, first, Mac Desktop, Tiger ('06) crashed. It was like I Lost my baby! Alas, I had to get a new one - a 17" Lion Desktop. & I uploaded all those saved documents & photos from a USB & External Drive (I won't go into those not saved & lost forever, or the duplicate photos, AGUH! now fixed.)
But - as I uploaded these back ups - I didn't see anything about Un-Zipping photos before or while they were being uploaded . ? .  So every photo uploaded - came in Zipped, with dpi of between 200s - 300s to 500s x 700s - sizes that don't print or send via E-mail or the Net very well (that same fella said his photos were "never zipped" to his USB or ED! . . . Well, all mine were zipped!)   The only thing I do know - is that it was not my Camera (Cannon PowerShot A590) which I had set the dpi between 1600s x 1900s & some at 2500s x 1900s dpi.
Please, is there anyone with any ideas out there that might work?
Mille Grazie, go raibh maith agat, Gracias, Danke, Merci, Obrigado, Σας ευχαριστούμε, Dank u, Vielen Dank, Bedankt, Kiitos, Tak, Tack, Takk, Спасибо, Вы, 감사하십시오, ありがとう, ありがとうございます, 謝謝,
Thank You a thousand times over to anyone who can really help me ; > }
PS, to prevent this mishap again, I don't delete any photos from memory cards! I'm using them as The Back Up & get new ones as needed!

As to "a lot of unnecessary and irrelevant detail in there, and nothing at all about zipping that I can see."
I only add as much info as possible, because most answers given that I see, - ask for more info, not less.
- Its all there:
How do you unzip photos - that were uploaded from USB or ED in iPhoto. All have low dpi, when they were not low on my camera! There is nothing that tells how to do this, & there was no indication to unzip when they were being uploaded...
I did not back up "the thumbnails or restored the thumbnails when you "uploaded" these back ups" as you say. As was suggested in "help" to back up photos - I dragged a "group"of photos from the Finder to a Burn folder...
At least you're telling me that I can't do anything about this, Terence, so thanks for that. Though there must be a way... somehow to retrieve the size they were... so I'll wait n see.

  • Lost my iphotos how to transfer from Xdrive

    I downloaded all my photos to an Xdrive, somehow they all ended up on the desk top, over 8K photos. They put the computer into slow motion, so I selected them all and sent them to trash. This freed up the computer but had no photos left. I have iPhoto backed up on an Xdrive using time machine, can I transfer the photos back and have them end up with events folders and whatever was there before the loss? And how is this done, copy and paste?
    Thank you

    Thank you for getting me started.
    I got my Xdrive hookedup, went into migration assistant and started the process. the only thing I got into  applications, iPhoto is in there but when I progressed along it looked liked it was going to transfer all of the applications when I just wanted iPhoto, so I backed out of it. I thought about coping and pasting into iPhoto on my mac book, but didn't know how that would come out, especially after your comment say that can't be done. Looked on Pondini as well, what do I do now?
    Thank you

    Hi jt - Alex was actually referring to video clips in iPhoto not appearing in the item "iPhoto Videos" in the Events Library in iMovie - thanks for your post though (the 2 words are very similar).

  • How do I get iPhoto to stop pulling from two photo streams?

    My iPhoto library is saved on an external hard drive and I've opened it on 2 separate macs and each mac has it's own separate account linked to it, now my iPhoto is pulling photos from 2 separate photo streams. How do I fix this?

    First be sure to have a current backup copy of your iPhoto Library.  Next go into the System/iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Photos checkbox:
    Next, go into iPhoto's iCloud preference pane and uncheck all checkboxes:
    Close iPhoto and reboot your Mac.  Then return to the System/iCloud preference pane and check the Photos box and do the same in the iPhoto/iCloud preference pane, i.e. check the 3 checkboxes shown in the screenshot above.

  • Iphoto albums have disapeared from side bar? how do I recover them?

    All my iphoto albums have disareared from the side bar how do I recover them?

    To repair your iPhoto Library you basically select your iPhoto Library in the Finder, hold down the key-combination ⌥⌘ very firmly, then double click the iPhoto library to open the "LIbrary First Aid" panel. Select "Repair Database" to repair your database files in the library. You may also add an "Repair Permissions", if the first repair did not help.
    If all fails, try "Rebuild Database", but that should not be tried without a current backup. Did you bring a portable drive with you?
    You did not mention your iPhoto version; if your version is not the most recent 9.4.3, look at this document on how to run the repair: iPhoto 6 and later: Rebuilding the iPhoto library

  • In iPhoto how do I stop files from auto resizing as they import? I don't want my files reduced to 72. The option to choose size on the export menu not suitable for up sizing, as you can't restore the quality removed?

    in iPhoto how do I stop files from auto resizing as they import? I don't want my files reduced to 72. The option to choose size on the export menu not suitable for up sizing, as you can't restore the quality removed.

    Short answer: They are not resizing, there is no quality lost. The dpi is only set when you decide what size you're printing at
    Longer answer:  Dpi means nothing in the digital world of your computer. There are no "inches" to have "dots per..." Size is measured in pixels. That's the same on your camera. It doesn't take 10 x 8 or 6 x 4 shots. It takes shots measured in megapixels. For instance 4,000 x 3,000 is a 12 megapixel camera.
    Using that example, that shot from that camera has 12 million pixels. So that's how many "Dots" there are. To decide the ratio of dots per inch, you now need to decide the "inches" part. And that's printing. Print at 10 x 8 and the dpi will be 4,000/10 or about 400 dpi. At 6 x 4 then it's 4,000/6 or 660 dpi. Work the other way: Print at 300 dpi and the resulting image will be about 13 inches on the longer side.
    So, your photo as a fixed number of pixels. Changing the dimensions of the print will vary the dpi, changing the dpi will vary the dimensions of the print.

  • When emailing a photo from the updated iPhoto, how do I find the CC and BCC button, and how do I send to a group from my address book?

    when emailing a photo from the updated iPhoto, how do I find the CC and BCC button, and how do I send to a group from my address book?

    The email function from iPhoto is pretty basic. The only Bcc available is to yourself (in iPhoto > Preferences > Advanced), cc: does not appear to be available at all, and it does not appear you can email to a group.
    You can change this by going to iPhoto > Preferences > General and next to where it says Email photos using: select Mail. If you do this you have all the options available in Mail including Cc: and Bcc: and the ability to drag a group from Address Book into the mail addresses.
    Best of luck.

  • How to send from IPhoto to GPS coordinates?

    how to send from IPhoto to GPS coordinates?

    Do you wish to locat a photo using Lat/Long?  See iPhoto Help
    Add places to your photos
    If you have photos that don’t have GPS information, including print photos that were scanned to a disk, you can still map your photos in Places.
    https://help.apple.com/iphoto/mac/help/index.html?lang=en#
    Watch the movie (about 2 minutes)
    View and organize photos using Places
    iPhoto matches recognizable location names you enter, such as “Seattle” or “Milan,” to a mapping database. When you add a location to a single photo or an entire Event, those photos are marked on the Places map.
    Or, if you have latitude and longitude information for the place where you shot your photos, you can use that information to add the location.
    Important:  You must be connected to the Internet for the Places feature to show photo locations on the map.
    Show
    To add a place name:
    Hide
    To use latitude and longitude to add a place:
    Select the photo or Event you want to add location information to.Tip:  If you select an Event, the location is added to every photo in that Event. But you can add locations to selected photos without adding locations to them all. To do so, select the photos you want, move your pointer over them, and then click the Info button. Skip to step 3.
    Click the Info button to open the Information pane.
    Select “Assign a Place,” and then type the latitude and longitude, separated by a comma.For example, you can type “24, -110” or, if you prefer, you can use a longer format, such as “24.15988731, -110.50838234.”It’s important to always put the latitude first.
    Look at the map to confirm the location, and then do one of the following:
    If the location is correct, continue to step 5.
    If the location is incorrect, retype the latitude and longitude, or drag the pin to a more exact location on the map.You can use the plus and minus buttons to zoom in and out, and drag the map to center it on a better spot.Note:  You can move marker pins only in the small map that appears below Places in the Information pane. You can’t drag marker pins on the full-size Places map.
    If you want, you can view the location marked on the full Places map by clicking the arrow next to the location name.

  • I recently made an album from my i photos and the the drive crashed ...the album isnt in iphoto.how can i order more copies of the album?

    i recently made an album from my i photos and the the drive crashed ...the album isnt in iphoto.how can i order more copies of the album?

    Ay album do you mean an iPhoto book?  The best way is to restore a backup copy of your iPhoto library from just before the drive crashed.
    Baring that your only hope is to recreate the book in iPhoto.  For future book I suggest you try what is described in this tutorial: iP08 - Archiving an iPhoto Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date and, if you don't already have one, start a backup strategy for backing up your important files.

  • How to install iPhoto an DVD  only from my iLife 09 disk

    Following hard drive replacement I now have Snow Leopard. I tried to install iphoto and DVD only from iLife 09 disk but could not find a way to install them only.
    The full bundle will use all the free disk space I have which is 4 gbs. Following install of SnowLeopard from new disk iphoto and DVD did not install.

    You can do what you want
    BUT
    you need a minimum of 10 GB of free space for normal operations so you need to find a way to reduce disk usage - 4 GB is not enough and will cause slow operation and possible damage to systems or data
    You seriously need to free up disk space - moving your iPhoto library to an external drive may be the answer -
    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
