Photos off Imac G3

Hi guys,
Here is my problem, I need to get 200 or so photos off of an old Imac G3. It is the first model so there are some limitations. No cd burner, no firewire, OS 9.2, and only usb 1.1, it was in an electrical accident so the ethernet port is fried also. At my disposal I have a usb external cd burner (iomega cdrw 55292). Could someone help walk me through this, I havent used OS 9 in such a long time, I am sure that I wont be able to remember..
Thanks in advance
any ideas are appreciated.

now that I think of it, I think apple did release a disk burner program for OS 9. If its not on your system, you should eb able to download it. Though I seem to remember there maybe being problems with iomega drives. its been a long time though since I looked into these things.
when you insert the flash drive (yes, that's what I meant by jump drive) into the USB port, it should be able to read it in OS 9. or at least ask you if you want to format it. The format you want it in depends on what computer youa re taking it to. If to another mac, hfs extended would be fine. If to a windows box, you want to format in FAT32 format.
What is occuring when you insert the flash drive? any error messages at all. Are you plugging it into the keyboard or directly into the machine?

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.

Cant get photos off of a Samsung Trender and onto my iMac

I'm trying to get photos off of my daughter's Samsung Trender phone. Every bit of info I can find speaks in terms of using a Windows machine. When I hook her phone up via USB it doesn't mount so it's a bit of a dead end. Is there a driver of some sort I need to be able to see the phone?

Have you tried using Image Capture with the phone conected by USB? Of that doesn't work follow Larry's suggestion.

Software iOS 5.0.1 using 3GS can't download photos to iMac

This is starting to really upset me, everytime apple sends an updated software it creates about 3 hours of work for me trying to figure how to make something work and then un-do what they did. After trying iCloud I couldn't get my photos off my iPhone 3 GS to my iMac. I had to remove the update and iCloud. Now I just updated to iOS 5.0.1 on my 3GS and I can't download my photos to my iMac. After trying to sync my phone, all of my photos on my computer downloaded to my phone. Which I don't want all my photos from my computer on my phone. I want my phone photos on my computer. ***

Try rebooting the ipad by holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons on the ipad until apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then settings/general/reset/reset all settings

How do I get my files and photos off my old computer

I have an old Mac G4 and just got a new iMac. I have them both hooked up to my Bell Turbo Hub But they do not see each other so that I can transfer files and photos off the old computer. Help

If you have a Thunderbolt to Firewire cable you vpcan start the G4 in target disk mode and connect it directly to your new iMac. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1661
Or you can connect them via either firewire/thunderbolt or ethernet and use Migration Assistant http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4889

How do i get photos off phone??

I got a new macbook pro. old laptop stolen...
i need to get all my photos off my iphone 3gs to laptop??
it keeps saying that im going to lose all my photos on my phone???
I dont want that..
Can someone please tell me how to transfer all my pictures off my iphone onto my laptop please???

Conceptually, the PhotoToMac app is close to what I want... but honestly, this is something that Apple should include on the iPhone and iPhoto. Granted there might be more iPhone users than iMac users, but there are tons of people like me, with an iPhone, iTouch, iMac, and MacBookPro in the house. Taking pictures with an iPhone is simple enough so why is it so complicated and difficult to transfer them and not one at a time, but grabbing a few dozen or more? Emailing each and every picture to yourself is a throwback to the '90's people!
And the free app shrinks the pictures degrading the quality and making them unfit to print... so what good is that? Perhaps the app should allow full resolution pics to be transferred one by one, and a pay app would allow unlimited numbers to be transferred all at once.

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.

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

How do I make a private album in new Photos for IMac?

How do I make a private album in the new Photos for IMac? I had one in iPhoto, and now that all the photos migrated to Photos my private album is not hidden anymore. Thanks for help!

Photos does not hide photos in albums at all. Photos can only be hidden from Moments, Collections, Years.
If you want private albums, move the photos in questions to a different Photos Library, that you keep hidden.

I would like to delete photos off my iPhone so can download ios7 but keep them on icloud

I need to delete my photos off my iPhone so I can download ios7 how can I see them in my icloud to make sure I have still them

The only way to do that would be to add them to a shared stream. The disadvantage is that they will be a lower resolution than the original photos. Another option if you have a lit of music on your device would be to sync it all off, the sync it back after the update using iTunes.

You can transfer photos outside of iTunes. I do it all the time. THat said, i have a 50/50 success rate with them. I'd avoid sandisk and kingston, their bundled software triggers the 'too much power' warning.
I've had mixed luck with lexar, some work, some don't.
I did have good luck with an older 4 gig geek squad one.
Look for drives without software on them, without bright LED lights and I haven't gotten any larger than 4 gig to work, but that may just be me.
For a less troublesome way? h onestly, I use a SD card that I've formatted with the DCIM folder. I've never had one of them trigger the 'too much power' warning. Just make sure they're not SDXC. those don't work.

I want to take the photos off my iPhone and put them directly onto an external hard disk. I want to bypass iPhoto altogether. When I link my iPhone to my computer, it only opens in iTunes, which only gives me the option to save my photos to iPhoto. Help!

I want to take the photos off my iPhone and put them directly onto an external hard disk - I don't have any room left on my computer. I want to bypass iPhoto altogether. When I link my iPhone to my computer, it only opens in iTunes, which only gives me the option to save my photos to iPhoto. Help! This is seriously frustrating!.
Additionally, I'd like to be able to take the 2000+ photos out of iPhoto and put them on a disk in a folder. I have managed to export them to the hard disk but it's just plonked all 2000+ photos in a list - not ideal if I want to use it for anything else. And then I have to manually delete the photos from iPhoto. Is there not a quick and easy way of dealing with this?
Anyone got any bright ideas? Thanks for your help!

I too would like to be able to do this. Just put them where i want the. IFTT a scripting app will put the images in dropbox for you , but its been pretty iffy.

Moving photos off of my mac's hard drive & onto an external without affecting my imported LR2 pics

HI! A little info first...
I am a photog so I have thousands of photos that i work with from my Mac's Internal Hard Drive.
First, I upload photos from my camera to the Pictures folder on my Mac.
Then, I upload the photos LR where I choose the ones I want to keep and edit. I, then, export my edited photos back to the original folder they were in.
I backup daily using Time Machine, so I am good there, but my HD is about completely full so I need to MOVE the folders of Pics OFF of my computer's HD.
I know that if I move the photos off of my HD and onto an external, all of my photos will in LR will be lost (broken links?).
So, I have two questions...
How can I do this big move and still keep my LR folders in tact? Is this possible?
and,
Should I start a new catalog to begin my new batch of incoming photos? I have so many folders in LR now, that I sometimes have a hard time finding the folder that I need.
**I am using LR2
Thank you so much, in advance, for any help or suggestion!!!
Heidi

Hi Heidi!
   Okay, let's see...
i ADD photos to catalog without moving. and when i export...i export them back to their original folder.
So basically, you are elminating most of the functions of using LR in the first place. So, let me explain a bit..
LR is designed to do a couple of things for your; manage large collections of images, and edit images without destruction of the original image.
Let's take the last one first: without destruction.   You are pointing LR at an original image (using the Add import).   You then use LR to do all the edits you like to it. Then you Export back into the same directory, _overwriting_ your original. This means that all of the history that LR keeps track of, such as your color edits, etc, gets wiped out.   That neatly negates LR's ability to do non-destructive editing.   Because you can't go back to your original, having overwritten it.
Do you have a reason why you shoot in jpg mode? Or is it just because you haven't understood or tried raw mode? The difference shooting in raw makes is quite dramatic in LR compared to shooting in jpg. (And, it makes it almost impossible to overwrite the original!) But that can come as a later refinement, if you wish. Let's work on your current problem.
on the left side, under folders...i have about 200 folders from the last
year and i have about 60,000 photos total in my catalog. obviously, it
is getting hard for me to find folders when i need them even though i do
label each folder with the year/month/brief desciption (2010 december
xmas)
I think we have a different description of how you create folders. If you have 200 hundred folders, you are not doing what you claim; year/month/... Becuase that would mean you have been taking photos for 200 years!
Here is what I meant by folder structures. I keep all of my images in a sub-folder called MainCatalog. That way, when I do backups, I only have to grab that one folder, and everything below it is backed up.
Top level is major project, it's the one farthest left, below my parent folder:
MainCatalog
   family_farm
   rugby
   wedding
Under those catagories, each one has a year folder.
MainCatalog
   family_farm
            2010
            2011
And each folder under the year has month
MainCatalog
family_farm
           2010
                 2010-01
                 2010-05
And each folder with month under it has the day,
MainCatalog
family_farm
          2010
                2010-05
                         2010-05-03
                         2010-05-06
You could, for example, replace the bottom folder with a description appended to it. You can see that this decreases the number of folders you have to scan to find what you are looking for; by knowing the year and month, it's down to at most 31 folders. This can be changed around; you could remove the top level project, and just use the rest of it, or move the project to the bottom... many ways of doing it. One reason I chose this method is that LR will create all of the folders for me, I just create the top level major project folder. Then in the import dialog, I point to the major project folder, and tell LR to import via the date format, and choose the year->year-mon->year-mon-day format. Easy.
Now, as to moving your images to an external disk...
First, I would promote a parent folder. This is done from within LR. Bring up LR, and right-click on any of the folders you currently have, and select "promote parent folder". This will have the effect of moving all of your folders into a sub-folder, and you'll now see the sub-folder at the very top in your list. This is good.
And by finder, we meant the normal operating system's finder, not from within LR. Some people move from within LR, some don't. I find that if I use the operating system to move my files and later tell LR to reconnect them, I don't have problems with LR not being able to see the drive, as some people say they do. Works both ways, but I obviously like my way better.
Now, as to moving your images... yep, it's easy, as someone else pointed out. Just drag (move, not copy) and drop onto your new hard drive from your operating system. Then when you bring up LR, you'll see '?' on the folder pane, saying LR doesn't know where these are anymore. Right-click on the top-level (parent) folder that you promoted, and browse to the new location and LR will connect them again. The reason for doing the promote parent is that you only have to do this once; LR will connect all of the folders below it if they are in the same structure.
You don't need to upgrade to LR 3.3 if you don't need to yet; I would recommend downloading Lr 2.7, however, as it fixed a few bugs in 2.6. And it's a free upgrade. With your current worfflow, there isn't a dramatic improvement in using 3.3. The improvements are mostly for raw files, and many people have found that 3.3 is slower in regards to 2.6/2.7.
Does that make sense now?
Cheers!
