Moving photos from i photo 6

Hi, A former Windows user here trying to master the Mac. I know this should be easy and I am probably trying to make it difficult because I am a former windows user. Could someone please tell me step by step how to copy my photos on to an external hard drive. Sure appreciate any help.
Thank you

  • How do you move photos from I photo to aperture?

    How do you move photos from I photo to aperture? I've downloaded onto i photo but having difficulty moving events over

    What version of iPhoto? And of Aperture?
    If you have Aperture 3.3 and iPhoto '11 version 9.3 or later you simply use the same library - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5260?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

  • Why when I export photos from I photo to the desk top , and then to a CD they end up as alis  and some are not really there?

    Why when I export photos from I photo to the desk top , and then to a CD they end up as alis  and some are not really there?

    Why? Because of something you are doing wrong - however unless you actually tell us what you are doing - and what version of iPhoto you have - and any other detail that might help no one can even gess.
    Exactly how are you exporting? Are the photos successfully exported to the desktop? How are you moving to the CD? why do you think they are not there?

    Trying to scan photos from my photo album to a folder on my desktop.  Have been trying to figure out for hours.  Seems very complicated and cumbersome.  Can anyone help?  It's got to be much quicker (fewer key strokes) and simpler than what I've been able to discover.

    Open the file, parse it, populate an ArrayCollection or XMLListCollection, and make the collection the DataGrid dataProvider:

  • I am unable to print color photos from i photo using a Brother Printer

    I am unable to print color photos from i photo using a Brother MFC-6490CW all in one.  The photos appear to be in grayscale.  I have checked the printer settings, but for some reason I am not able to access the color management on my printer from printer set up.  It only gives me the standard option.  I have spent hours checking Bother's website and Apple's and I am not able to come up with a valid answer.  I know that the color print works.  If I print something from the internet of from outlook it will print in color.  I know all of my cartridges are in working order, I have cleaned the print head on my Brother, but I am still not able to print photos in color!!!
    What puzzles me the most is why I am unable to really access the color management menu on my printer?  It just does not come up.  I have the option from paper handling to print photos, but this has nothing to do with the quality.  I have also tried printing the photo from an Adobe PDF file and I still have the same problem.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?  Thank you.

    In the Print dialogue box click on the little triangle to the right of the name of the printer. That will expand the dialogue box.

  • I have both i hoto and apeture on sidebar. When I try to open apeture the dot appears it bounces but won't open. Only if I transfer a photo from i-photo or my card reader? Any suggestions.

    Apeture software. It won't open from the sidebar where i-photo lies also. Only when importing photos from i-photo, or card reader. Can anyone help with suggestion.

    Hi Iolenslooker,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    It's possible you may need to replace the shortcut to Aperture that is on your Dock. I would suggest first closing both applications.  Then open Finder, and in the Applications folder, double click on the Aperture application.  If the Aperture launches, then you can delete the shortcut from the dock, and create a new one by dragging the Aperture icon from the Applications folder to the dock.  The article below will explain more:
    Mac Basics: The Dock
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2474
    To remove an item from the Dock, drag its icon an inch or more off the Dock and wait a couple seconds, then release; the icon will disappear in a poof of smoke.
    Don't worry, you aren't permanently removing the item from your computer; you simply got rid of its Dock icon. If you want that item back in the Dock, locate the application, file, or folder in the Finder (or with Spotlight), and drag it back into the Dock.
    Cheers,

  • Can i share existing albums of photos from my photo library with friends straight to icloud rather than having to create a new shared folder and then select the individual photos rather than a whole album??

    Ok to clarify -
    1. i want to go into my photos on my iphone 6.
    2. create a new folder in shared folders.
    3. Add an entire album of photos from my photo library rather than having to select individual photos.
    4. Share with friends.
    Surely the reason i have saved certain photos into albums already from my mac means i like the selection already. So i would like to just share the whole album rather than having to select all the individual photos from the album. Ive tried but maybe im being a doofus and missing something??????
    Any help would be most appreciated.
    thank you in advance

    This is normal and is how Apple handles photos.
    There are NOT duplicate photos.
    Just as a song is in your itunes library and you can access that exact same song from a playlist,  all  photos synced to iphone are in the photo library and those exact same photos (NOT duplicates) can be accessed from the individual albums.
    It is working exactly as it should.

  • How do I download and immediately delete original photos from iCloud photos?

    How do I download and immediately delete all original photos from iCloud photos? This way, I have a local copy of all my iPhone photos, and my iPhone and iCloud space will be reset and empty.
    Using the online iCloud web app, you can only select one photo at a time. There is no select all or download all. And when you try to select one by one multiple photos and download, it opens a download "save-as" window for each one! Not one download window for all the selected. So if you select one hundred photos, one hundred download "save-as" windows will pop up, and you have to click the save button one hundred times.
    Using my Windows 7 PC, the iCloud app doesn't have iCloud photo sync, only the Photo Stream photos, which is separate.
    After researching online, they said the Apple OS X Yosemite Photos app could do this. So I tried my wife's MacBook Pro, and there is a iCloud photo sync, BUT, it tries to merge with her local photos. My 20 GB iCloud is full with my iPhone pictures, and her local photo library is about 50 GB. So it doesn't not even merge or allow the iCloud photo sync to turn on without buying more storage! The Apple OS X Yosemite Photos app doesn't even have a download only feature, OR access the iCloud like a folder to drag and drop photos or like an FTP. WHAT THE?!?!
    So there IS ABSOLUTELY NO OPTION SO FAR to download and remove immediately all photos in the iCloud photo storage with ANY device, unless maybe I delete all my wife's photos on her MacBook Pro, which is not an option. Or select one by one thousands of photos on the online web app.
    Am I missing something? or is Apple not so user friendly as they seem to be?

    Open iphoto.  Connect camera.
    Import photos.
    Does that not work?

  • I have a Mac Book Pro (13" )laptop and cannot export photos from I Photo to my desktop or to a flash drive.

    I am trying to export photos from Iphoto to a folder on my desktop and seem to be unable to do this as a big X appears on the bottom of the photo and it says it can not export photo.  Any ideas how to solve this problem so that I can download photos from I photo to my desktop?

    Barbara ..
    You can export photos  via email, a MobileMe Gallery, Flickr, Facebook, Photo Stream, iWeb, or to a burn folder but not to a folder on your Desktop or a flash drive.
    Workaround is to connect the flash drive then drag the photos from your iPhoto library to the flash drive icon on the Desktop.

  • Deleting photos from i-photo

    Hi,
    I recently had to get a new hard drive for my Mac, and everything had to be put back onto my computer from an external hard drive. Apparently, due to the bad state of my old laptop hard drive, each file/photo had to be manually put onto the external hard drive, which was then all put onto my new laptop. I want to get rid of a lot of my photos (ie. delete them permanently, as I have waaaay too many), but when I delete from I-photo, the photos are still in a folder on my laptop. I have tried emtying the I-photo trash can and then the laptop trash can, but they are still there. I've also tried deleting the photos from within the files on the laptop (and the trash can, etc), but they are still in my I-photo. Does anyone know a way I can delete photos from I-photo without then having to delete each corresponding photo from files on my laptop hard drive? That will take forever!
    Thanks in advance.

    Are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    If it's managed, the default mode, and you imported that folder on my laptop  into iPhoto you don't need to keep that folder any more.  The image files in that folder will have been copied into the iPhoto Library so that folder can be deleted to free up disk space.
    If you're running a "referenced' library then you have the responsibility of deleting the source files from that folder after deleting them from iPhoto.  That's what one of the several downsides to a "referenced" library.

  • How do I create a DVD of photos from I photo

    HI,
    I have an OS X 10.4.11 and am trying to move over 700 photos to burn on a DVD. This is all really new to me so I will write what I have been doing and hopefully someone will steer me in the right direction.
    Went to Finder clicked on file and made a folder to the desk top and named it.
    This next step is where I am having problems.
    I am holding the option key and attempting to drag the photos to the folder, but I must be missing something because the photos evade the folder and start to scatter all over the desk top.
    Please, I would appreciate any help and in the most basic language possible. As ou can tell, I am a newbie.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I read and tried from the link you sent. Thanks, but I did double click and opened the disc but the files would not go on to the window. They flipped back to I Photo.
    My problem is dragging the photos from I photo to a folder or disc. It isn't happening.
    Thanks for the help, and once I get that part the link will be very helpful with the rest.

    If you see a dialog, you can choose an action from the pop-up menu and select "Make this action the default" if you want the same thing to happen every time you insert a blank disc.
    The disc appears on your desktop.
    # Double-click the disc to open it, and drag the files and folders you want on it to its window.

  • How to remove photos from the photo library

    How can I remove photos from the photo library?
    I searched and tried the below method.
    I connected to the PC and open iTunes. I clicked "photos" on the top. Then clicked the box "Sync Photos with" and choose the dropdown and "choose folder"
    Then I clicked "desktop" option and chose an empty file and click "apply", "sync".
    However, it doesn't work. Nothing has been removed.
    I saw there is another method - deselecting the checkbox of the photo files. However, in my iTunes, there is no files has been selected.
    How can I delete photos from the photo library? Thank you.

    How did the photos get onto your device (and is it an iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch ?) ? Only photos that were synced from a computer can be deleted via iTunes, photos that were taken with it or saved from emails/websites on the iPad (or if it's an iPad copied to it via the camera connection kit) can be deleted directly in the Photos app, or you might be able to delete the via the import process : Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC.

  • How do you import photos from the photo library on an iPhone using iPhoto?

    Hello,  I am trying to find a way to import photos from the Photo Library on my iPhone using iPhoto.  It seems that the default setting only allows for photos in the 'camera roll' section to be imported and not the full photo library.  We recently had to replace a hard drive and only had our photos backed up on mobile devices (iphone and ipad), but would like to import them on to our computer.  Thank you.

    No, iPhoto can't access these files. There are several apps that will recover the material from an iOS device and bring them over to the Mac.

  • HT204022 how can you steam photos from i photos of your mac to apple tv

    how can you steam photos from i photos of your mac to apple tv

    I'm having this problem too - although it's a recent issue as I was previously able to view all my iPhoto library albums via Apple TV.  Currently I can only get my Photo Stream (presumably via iCloud).
    When I go into Advanced within iTunes Preferences, I can't see any options for photos - what do I need to do?
    Many thanks

  • Paper jam when printing photo from Microsoft Photo Editor

    On my C7280, I want to print a photo from Microsoft Photo Editor onto plain 8.5x11 paper. This always produces a paper jam. If I copy/paste the photo into, say, Word, and print from Word, the document prints properly.
    This is not a "false paper jam" - the printer attempts to feed the paper, and jams (and creases) the paper in the attempt.
    In Photo Editor, I explicitly chose "plain paper" and "main tray", rather than automatic settings.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    Hello @Lonewolf777 ,
    Welcome to the HP forums.
    I understand that you are getting paper jams when printing from your Android device.
    I would like to help.
    Have you tried to print using the HP ePrint app?
    Also, if you are having problems using the in OS print system, install the HP Print Service Plug in.
    It acts like a print driver for your phone.
    If it is already installed, try the old, uninstall and reinstall trick.
    Alternately, you can call the folks over at the HP Cloud Services department.
