How do I get my photos into my hard drive?

I have 800 photos in the library of the iPhoto application. But when I go to my user file on my hard drive and open the pictures file it is empty. Therefore none of them are saved with Time Machine. Shouldn't there be two sets of m photos: 1 in the iPhoto app and one on my hard drive? If so, how do I get the pbotos into my hard drive so that they are in both places. I want them to be where they are backed up in time machine but don't know how to get them into my user file.
I hope this makes sense....I am not even sure of the terminology I'm using!

If the Pictures folder is empty - no iPhoto Library - then open iPhoto and select iPhoto prefs>Advanced - there is a check box Importing - if it is not selected then this might be why there is nothing in the Pictures folder.
When iPhoto imports or adds content to the iPhoto library it is given the same name as the orginal file. iPhoto is making a copy which it stores on your HD. The default location for iPhoto libraries is in User Account>Pictures>iPhoto Library. This is where the actual files are kept. If you select the iPhoto Library icon and 'control' - click you will get a dialog. From that list choose 'Show Package Contents' - in there you will find where iPhoto has stored the file. You can also get to the file by selecting the file in iPhoto when it is open and from the file menu select 'Reveal in Finder' - In previous versions of iPhoto you could get to the file using 'control' (right) -click.
Anyhow - you want to make sure your library is backed up. I am not a user of TM - I use SuperDuper to clone my HD - regardless you need to tell TM which items to back up - as long as you include the Pictures folder then your iPhoto files (not the app) will be backed up.

Need help with iphoto and dragging to external hard drive

Hello,
I have my iphoto very organized into Events and I recently just moved them to be in folders. I would like to have only certain Events (or folders/albums) on the external hard drive. The apple store rep said to go to Finder, Pictures, Iphoto, then right click to "Show Package Contents." Then go to either "original" or "modified." From there I can drag into the hard drive. However, I'm very confused because the "modified" or "original" are not organized at all by folders or events. There are dates only. What can I do to find, drag the events (each are named)? Please help!
Katie

1. Ignore the Apple store rep.
2. You need to clarify:
I have my iphoto very organized into Events and I recently just moved them to be in folders
Moved them to be where in folder? In iPhoto? In the FInder?
I would like to have only certain Events (or folders/albums) on the external hard drive.
In an iPhoto Library? Or in the Finder?
Do not access the Library via the Finder or any other app. You risk damaging your Library and you will lose data.
If you want to have some Events/Albums on an External Disk within iPhoto:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
Now you have two full versions of the Library.
3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
Some Notes:
As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager
If you want to have them in Folders in the Finder
Use the FIle > Export command to get photos out of iPhoto.
This User Tip

has details of the options in the Export dialogue.

I need help with viewing files from the external hard drive on Mac

I own a 2010 mac pro 13' and using OS X 10.9.2(current version). The issue that I am in need of help is with my external hard drive.
I am a photographer so It's safe and convinent to store pictures in my external hard drive.
I have 1TB external hard drive and I've been using for about a year and never dropped it or didn't do any thing to harm the hardware.
Today as always I connected the ext-hard drive to my mac and click on the icon.
All of my pictures and files are gone accept one folder that has program.
So I pulled up the external hard drive's info it says the date is still there, but somehow i can not view them in the finder.
I really need help how to fix this issue!

you have a notebook, there is a different forum.
redundancy for files AND backups, and even cloud services
so a reboot with shift key and verify? Recovery mode
but two or more drives.
a backup, a new data drive, a drive for recovery using Data Rescue III
A drive can fail and usually not if, only when
and is it bus powered or not

I really need help in getting my music back my hard drive crashed

I need help in re-downloading my music i bought, My computer's hard drive crashed last week an i finally got a new one an i spent like 30$ on music an videos, so i was wondering how to get them back... Im lost without out my music please help me

Either restore the media from the backup of the computer or redownload via iTunes. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519

Ok so I need help with getting my pics off my ipod

Ok so when I was putting my music on in iTunes on the computer I accedentally uploaded some pics to my iPod and now when I try to delete them there isn't a option to do that and I can't figure out how to get them off of my pod c an someone help?? Please

duck75, the poster said he synced the phtos to his iPod. The ony way to delete them is to unsync them. You can't delete photos synced to the iPod via the iPod
Sean matta, are you you unselected the photos, click on Apply and then synced?

Is there a way to get photos off my hard drive without losing integrity of various albums and folders

I have a large number of photos on my mac, and wish to move them, but don't want to lose all the sorting and organizing i've done into various folders and albums. Is there a way to move a series of events and not lose the tie to an album or folder?

Here's one way to do what you want:
1. Quit iPhoto.
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the external drive. (Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled) )
Now you have two full copies of the Library. To choose between them: Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
3. On the Internal Library, remove the pics you don't want with you all the time.
Now you have one full library on the external and another smaller sub-set on the Internal.
A couple of comments:
a. The external disk needs to be formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
b: When you're removing the unwanted pics from the Internal Library you need to delete them in batches of about 100 or so. Trashing more at one time can cause problems with the database.
c: Managing Multiple Libraries - including moving pics/albums/rolls and metadata between them - is greatly facilitated by using iPhoto Library Manager

Hello, I have a MacBook Pro from 2011 and I accidentally while playing around with it deleted everything off my hard drive and I need to know how I can re install an operating system. Would I have to download it.

Someone please help me
I'm not sure what I should do to re install an operating system would it be possible to install mavericks
I don't have the operating system backed up

That's not good. OS X Recovery requires a high speed broadband connection as noted here > About OS X Recovery
Check your download speed here > Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test

HT4847 My phone was stolen. How can I get my photos off the iCloud with a Snow Leopard operating system?

My phone was stolen. How can I get my photos off the iCloud with Snow Leopard.

Welcome to the Apple Community
You can't, if the photos are in photostream you need a compatible device, if they are in a backup, you can only use the backup to restore to a new device.

How to get ALL photos off iPhone and into iMac?

I hope I can describe this clearly.
I have close to 1000 photos on my iPhone 5s, all in different albums. I want to get ALL of them off the iPhone and backed up into my iMac so I don't lose them when I upgrade (which has happened before.) The albums I seem to have the biggest problem with are the ones that came over when I went from a PC to a Mac about 2 years ago and were in albums in my Kodak Easy Share. I can't get iPhoto to recognize these photos/albums so I can move them from the iPhone. Honestly, I'm not even sure how I got them from where they originated into my iPhone. I'd thought I'd lost them so when they popped up on my iPhone I refused to even update my phone for a while, I was so afraid to lose them.
I tried using Image Capture and it only recognized 176 photos on the iPhone.
I went into settings on my iPhone, into camera and photos, and saw that iCloud Photo Library (Beta) was "OFF." I clicked "ON" and got the message "Photos synced from iTunes will be removed. Syncing photos via iTunes is not supported when include Photo Library is turned on. 833 photos will be removed."
I hit cancel.
If I connect my iPhone to my Mac, and check off "Sync Photos" it appears that it's going to put photo's in iPhoto on my computer on my phone, so that isn't what I want either. I've tried Googling this, and searching on the Apple site and I can't find anything like this. Similar but not quite the same.
I also read (I think) that the iCloud would delete my photos in 30 days so I'm not sure what the value of backing them up to the iCloud is.
I've used Finder to search Kodak, Easy Share, Kodak Easy Share, in case these photos are somewhere else on the iMac that I'm not aware of, most likely due to user ignorance.
My screen is cracked, I'm going to need to upgrade soon, and I don't want to lose valuable photos again.
Thank you!

Thank you to all for this info. Discouraging, but finally I can stop banging my head on the desk trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong.
I do believe that when I synced my iPhone at some point in the last 2 years, I pulled all the photos OUT of iPhoto and then it deleted them. Which is most likely why the older Kodak photos that I am almost 100% certain were in iPhoto are now gone. How/when they ended up on my iPhone I don't know because I swear they suddenly appeared there a few weeks ago.
Since the old PC is gone (accessible but wiped clean & restored to original factory settings) and Easy Share is no more, I will have to explore outside options to get those photos off the iPhone somewhere. Online photo storage sites have been suggested. Archaic as it is, I wish I'd just put them all on cd's.
Using the info provided, I did SUCCESSFULLY get all 237 photos off of my iPhone 3. (yes, I still have it.) Now I know better and will never ever sync my photo's in iTunes again.
Thank you all again!!
***Addendum: ALL answers helped, but apparently I can't indicate that.

I got a new computer, how do I get the photos off my ipod on to my computer?

For photos synced from your computer ( photo library pics) you don't. The photo sync is one way - computer to ipod.
You need to move the pics from your old computer or your backup copy of the old computer. You could e-mail them to yourself. They will not be of the original resolution.
For pics taken with ipod ( Camera Roll Pics), then you import them as you would from any digital camera.

Getting my photos off my ipod

I need to get my photos off my ipod and onto another computer... How do I do that? How do I access them at all? I have almost a gig of photos on it but I have no idea how to access them.

hi dcopen
even if you cant do it by iTunes, its pretty simple to do it with the normal WinXP explorer, or from my PC, just tell ya somethin, this will only work if you set up iTunes to also copy full resolution photos into your iPod
here's what you gotta do
. set up windows to make it show all hidden files and folders
. go to my pc, right click your iPod, select explore, a new window will open
. you'll see some folders, like music, calendar, notes, etc, etc
. in that same window, double click photos
. now double click the folder "full resolution"
. you'll see a folder or several with year numbers
. copy all of them into your HD, preferibly into my docs, but not into my pictures folder
. now, explore in-depth those folders
. if you get into one you'll see now several folders numbered in order
. if you get into any you'll see your photos
. now just copy and paste all the photos into my pictures, it'll be tuff but its worth the effort
i dunno if you can use winzip, winrar or winace? to get the pics out of them, try it out, please leave a comment for results...

HT4101 Once pictures are moved from your camera to your iPad (using the camera connection kit), how do you get the photos off of the iPad? They do not show up in my photo stream or my iCloud.

Once pictures are moved from your camera to your iPad (using the camera connection kit), how do you get the photos off of the iPad? They do not show up in my photo stream or my iCloud. I am able to see any photo I took on the iPad using the iPad camera (in iTunes, photo stream, or when I open windows explorer and browse the iPad director), however I cannot see any photos transfered from my camera to the iPad. The camera connection kit must have put my photos in a directory I cannot get to and cannot sync.

The links below have instructions for deleting photos.

Hi MrRhea,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you have photos in your Photo Stream that you would like to download. The photos are not actually stored on your Apple TV, it sounds like they are being displayed from your Photo Stream. Please read over the attached article for information on your Photo Stream and how to download these photos.
My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support
Because your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to download all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically.
In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, select Photos (or Photo Stream) > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will import into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture.
On your PC with My Photo Stream on in the Control Panel, all of your photos will import intoC:\\Users\<user name>\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream
Best regards,
Joe

I got my phone wet how do i get my photos off icloud,

I dont know how to get my photos off photo share my phone was droped in the water and will not work.

Here's my standard blurb about a water incident:
"Whenever a liquid spill occurs the first thing that has to happen is the laptop should be shut down immediately. All power must be removed as soon as possible.
It is especially important that the battery be disconnected and removed.
No attempt should be made to start/restart the computer since this could potentially damage the logic board beyond all repair.
All affected parts must be removed from the laptop and carefully and closely inspected. Any involved area should be marked for special treatment.
Then all affected parts would be washed in deionized water and blown dry with compressed air. (In a water spill the deionized water is probably not as critical. Depends on the mineral content of the water.).
This is especially true of the large chips on the logic board. Liquid can wick under them and cause havoc for weeks if not months and years after the incident, depends on the liquid..
The logic board should be placed in a drying/dehumidifing oven for at least two days. Longer depending on the spill.The keyboard is a separate matter.
It will make it easier to help you w/ your problem to know the exact model, size, year built, RAM installed and OS you're running.
Also go to iFixIt and disconnect the battery.
Find your model and follow the guide:https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Mac_Laptop
While your in there take out the hard drive and place it in an external case or use a dongle to retrieve your data.
