Moving photo from library to desktop

The only photo I can put on my desktop is the last photo added to my library. This is a new problem, before I could click on the photo I wanted on the desktop, click on it then click on desktop and it would move there. Any solutions?

select the photo(s) and drag them to the desktop
Or select them and export them (file menu ==> export) to the desktop

    How do I move photos from Ipad to desktop to free space on Ipad?

    Use can use a cloud sync service like DropBox, you can use a WiFi transfer app (search the App Store - there are a number of them available) or you can connect the iPad to your computer and import the photos from the camera roll

  • Using iPad 2 photos and have not found key to organizing or moving photos  from one album to another existing album

    With ipad2 I have been almost successful in moving photos from the stream or roll to separate albums. It takes the commands but does not allow last step. What am I missing?

    If you are wanting to copy photos from your computer to the iPad then you need to select all the folders that you want to copy together in one go - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are removed by not including them in the next photo sync, so on each photo sync you need to select all the photos that you want to remain on the iPad. So you will only do one photo sync to copy them.
    So when you connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes, on the right-hand side on the Photos tab you need to select the parent folder under each those 100 folders are directly under - each of those 100 folders will then get their own album on the iPad. The folder to album relationship only works to 1 level i.e. if those folders have sub-folders in them then their photos will go into the parent's album on the iPad

  • How do I time / date stamp photos from library

    How can I print photos from library with a time / date stamp to use for legal purposes? Please help

    All photos captured with the iPhone are date and time stamped, but not shown on the photo. Plus those metadata can be changed easily with modern photo editing software so it is not always admissible in court.
    To post those to the pictures, you need a 3rd party app for that. Try the free Exifwizard app.

  • Moving photos from one iPhoto library to another

    Is there a way to move photos from one iPhoto library to another? I tried to use export, and that puts the photos in the other iPhoto library (I can see the photo if I open Hard drive>user>pictures>iPhoto Library but when I open iPhoto it is not in that Library's library.
    If I have not made myself clear, please ask and I'll try again.

    Is there really no other way than via third party software??
    Yes there is, detailed above: export from one, import to another.
    I love using iPhoto but this is a real drawback.
    Wow, really?
    I have bought an external disk so i can free the space on my laptop by moving photos and now I have to buy some software in order to do that??
    You don't have to buy it. What's more the free version of iPhoto Library Manager will move up to 20 pics at a time. And the paid version is only $20.
    BTW: you can run an entire library from the external disk:
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • Moving photos from the Photo Library to the Camera Roll

    Hi,
    I have recently moved all of the photos on my camera roll into the photo library, however I want to put some back onto the camera roll, but I can't figure out how to. I realize that there probably is no way because of what both of these albums are actually for, but I was wondering if there was any way possible.
    Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    Well I was able to move photos from the camera roll to the photo library by sending *the pictures via email to my dad's blackberry, then saving them to my computer from his phone, then putting them back on into the photo library*.
    This is what I said originally.

    Alright I guess that answers my question then. However, just as I said I was able to transfer photos from my camera roll to my photo library, so at least that is possible.
    I never said that I did it directly, neither did I mean to imply that I was looking for a direct solution. This I guess is where our misunderstanding comes from. I just did not feel like repeating the whole process I went through. Regardless, I would rather this thread not derail into who said what and whose misunderstanding who. I now know that it is not possible to get pictures from the photo library to the camera roll in any way, so my question is answered for now at least.

  • Moving Photos from IPhoto to the Picture Library

    I'm a heavy IPhoto user and have over 9000 photos in it. The main reason I moved to IPhoto8 was its greater capacity. But I now find that IPhoto runs much more slowly and I constantly need to close IPhoto and start again. Before I add the thousand or so photos from our recent travels, I would like to move some of these photos out of IPhoto into my Photo Library on my Imac. Is this the best way to free up capacity? If so, how do I do it? I'd also appreciate any other hints on managing IPhoto capacity. Would adding extra RAM make a real difference? (I already have 1GB of Memory on my Imac.) Apologies if these are obvious questions.......

    Essentially, I'm trying to find a way to avoid having IPhoto slow to the point of stopping while I'm working on my photos. When this happens, I close IPhoto and start again. This works fine, until the program slows and stops the next time.
    The problem has only arisen since I have had between 8000-9000 photos on IPhoto8 (Initially I used the previous version and upgraded to IPhoto 8 to gain additional capacity). Most photos have been adjusted (exposure, cropping enhanced etc) and I've usually added titles and other details. I was surprised when this problem occurred, as I knew that capacity shouldn't be a problem with IPhoto8.
    I have only used about half my available disk space, so that isn't the problem. This is why I thought of increasing the RAM.
    Can I delete photos from IPhotos and retain them in the Picture Library? In the short term, this seems to be a possible "work around".
    Any other suggestions?

  • Moving Photos from iCloud Photo Library to Local Storage

    Scenario - I've a fully migrated library of photos/videos using iCloud Photo Library on iPhone and Mac.  It's near the limit of the iCloud storage plan I purchased and want to retain.  I'd like to move older and less frequently used content from iCloud Photo Library to more permanent archival storage.
    [This is for two reasons.  First, I prefer to use the Full Resolution setting on mobile devices, and that will be impossible as the entire library grows beyond the storage capacity of even the largest mobile devices.  Second, I don't feel the need to pay for super-sized iCloud storage for content rarely needed and only needed on a Mac.]
    The only option I've identified in Photos to do this is to Export (and delete from iCloud), which exports the original photos, but does not preserve useful Photos metadata and organization, such as Albums.
    What one would might like to see is a way to designate selection portions of the Library for local storage only (including backup within the Photos app library package), so those photos can be manipulated within Photos alongside iCloud content, but don't consume iCloud or mobile device space.  Or, in the alternative, one would like to see a way to Export content to merge into a separate Photos library package, preserving the metadata/organization.  In that way, one could maintain one Photos library as current iCloud synced content, and one or more local-only Photos library packages with archival content (with, importantly, the Export function to move content between the two preserving metadata).
    Does anyone know if there's a way to do this?  If not, Apple, would you consider coming up with a way to address this need?

  • Moving photos from one library to another (v7.1.5)

    Hi. I'm currently using iPhoto 7.1.5. I had my iPhoto library on an external drive. I experienced problems with that drive and had to purchase a new one. In the meantime, I uploaded new photos to iPhoto in a library that resides on my internal hard drive. I've since successfully copied the photos from the bad external drive to a new external drive. Now I need to move the photos that are in the Library on my computer to the Library on the new external disk. I want to have all my photos in one place and I want the Library on the external disk to essentially be the only library. I will then create a back up of that onto another external disk so I don't lose anything.
    I have very limited internal disk space and have about 8,000 photos that I need to move.
    Thank you in advance.

    File -> Export to the FInder, then import them to the other Library.
    If you want to preserve versions and metadata etc then you'll need to use  iPhoto Library Manager

  • Moving photos from photo stream and camera roll into a photo library?

    Can I move photos from camera roll or photo stream album to an album I created?

    No.  Camera roll and photo stream photos are stored separately and must be deleted separately.

  • How to export photos from library to a flash drive

    How do you export photos from your library to a flash drive?

    Assuming you're referring to iPhoto on your iMac export the photos to a folder on the Desktop via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option.  Then drag the folder of photos onto the flash drive. 
    More about exporting out of iPhoto can be found in the following User Tip by Terence Devlin:  How to Access Files in iPhoto

  • Moving photos from external drive to iPhoto '11

    OK. I'm going nuts. I recently purchased an iMac and I migrated all of the photos from my old G5 with no problems. All of my photos and their Album structures came along. Now, I also have a lot of different photos on a MacBook that is also running 10.6.6 and iPhoto '11. The MacBook is backed up onto an external drive which I am trying to use to move the photos to the iMac. I have tried what Terrence Devlin suggests. I tried to drag the MacBook iPhoto library into the iMac Pictures folder, but it asks me if I want to replace the existing iPhoto library. I most certainly do not. I don't want to lose anything that is already on the iMac.
    I tried manually exporting folders from the external drive by clicking individual albums in iPhoto and "exporting" them to the iMac desktop, but not all of the photos come in the export, no matter which folder I try to export.
    Yesterday, before I updated the laptop to iPhoto '11, I created a new iPhoto Library on the iMac and dragged the entire iPhoto Library from the MacBook into that new Library. It worked, however it all came over into one big album and my previous album structure was gone. There are waaaaay too many photos for me to go back through and sort them again. Did that happen because I was going from an older version of iPhoto to a newer version or will it happen again if I drag the MacBook iPhoto Library into a NEW library on the iMac? (I only ask before I try because it took several hours the first time.)
    So what do I do? I want all of my photos on the iMac with my existing Album structure. If I have to do it Album by Album fine, but how? Selecting every photo from an album and dragging it to a folder on the desktop doesn't work either. I can always take every photo minus one. Weird.
    Thanks,
    John

    What you want to do is merge the two Libraries? The only way to do this is to use the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager
    I created a new iPhoto Library on the iMac and dragged the entire iPhoto Library from the MacBook into that new Library. It worked, however it all came over into one big album and my previous album structure was gone
    Never import one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.

  • Moving images from library to library WITH Faces information

    Ok.
    iPhoto 09/faces
    Can someone out there tell me, first off, is it even possible to move photos from one library to another library WITH all the Faces effort I've put in on those photos (say from my default library on my hard drive to another person's library on an external hard drive)?
    That way they don't have to be rescanned and then I have to go through and correct the crappy scanning effort that the program did all over again.
    I tried exporting/importing, straight copy, etc. with no dice.
    I don't want to keep having to re-correct all the faces in images I transfer between libraries.
    "Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi....You're my only hope!"

    For folks out there here is the results of Terrence's suggestion (which was a good one BTW, I don't want to dump on him - it was good thinking on his part! Thanks Terrence).
    iPhoto Lib Manager still ***** (on my system anyway - iMac OSX 10.5.6).
    I installed the thing and tried moving 1000 photos with faces info organized nicely - no dice - it crapped out.
    First make sure all the permissions are set properly and the library mounts automatically (under the options). Then it will at least ATTEMPT to copy everything (also edit prefs to reflect all the metadata that goes with the photos like faces info, dates, desc. etc).
    But while thing appear to go well, it craps out at the end leaving you stymied. It re-scans the imported images and the faces data does not come through in the end despite it's trying to do so.
    I tried it with 80 photos, just to make sure I wasn't trying to fit 20lbs of manure into a 10lb bag. Same story with the smaller transfer
    If I go any smaller, I may as well have used the public version (free) which limits you to 20 at a time.
    So bottom line - according to my experience - if you and someone else have the same photos in your separate libraries and want to share the effort one of you puts into organizing faces info - you're hooped/screwed/pooched!
    Nada - diddly - bupkiss!
    VERY DISAPPOINTING! Both the iPhoto 09 AND the failed (but valiant) attempt by iPhoto Lib Man.
    Should've stuck with iLife 08 and lived with it...sigh.

  • Moved photos from PC/ZoomBrowser, can I put them on secondary Mac drive?

    New to Mac world, many photos from PC / Canon ZoomBrowser application that I have moved over to the Mac. I don't want to put them on the primary Mac drive due to backup issues and the fact I have a secondary drive for music and photo files.
    How can I designate the secondary drive as the library location for Iphoto? I have been unable to find a "preferences" like setting in Iphoto.
    This is iphoto '08.
    thanks,
    Bill

    Okay, this is a wee bit complex, but bear with me.
    Iphoto has two modes: Managed - where the app is responsible for the files - and Referenced - where you are.
    I strongly recommend that you let iPhoto manage the files. This is the default setting.
    So, import the pics to iPhoto and it will copy the files to the Library. Then move the Library to the desired disk as detailed above. The files you have already there will be surplus so you can delete them.
    Or Simply go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import'.
    Now iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. To do this it will create an alias in the Originals Folder that points to your file. It will still create a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version within the iPhoto Library Folder.
    However, you need to be aware of a number of potential pitfalls using this system.
    1. Import and deleting pics are more complex procedures
    2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
    3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
    Always allowing for personal preference, I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers.
