Trouble exporting modified photos

I'm trying to burn a CD for a PC user. I have followed the directions to export an album to a new folder but the original, unmodified photos show up in the folder. I don't want to send uncropped photos that are out of order. I tried changing the filenames of the photos thinking that might help but it doesn't. Would appreciate any suggestions.

Check them all and leave them checked. The "!" problem can also occur if iPhoto is interrupted while writing to its database file, Library6.iPhoto. See the tip at the end of my signature. It can help you recover from the "!" problem and get your library back to where it was at the time of the last backup.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it.

  • IPhoto 6 trouble EXPORTING VERTICAL photos; Unable to create/Users/...

    I've been trying everything I can think of to export all of my photos to Finder folders and then to albums on a website - either by selecting and dragging to the folder OR by exporting. The horizontal photos export easily, but the VERTICAL photos will not move out of iPhoto. The message that pops up is: "Exporting - Unable to create/Users/my name/place tp which I'd like to export." Nor will the VERTICAL photos enlarge/display when I double click on them in iPhoto - the window that comes up has a gray square with an exclamation mark in it. Since my problem only ocurrs with VERTICAL photos, it seems to be different than the recently posted question about the same message. I did verify my HD disk. My computer savvy is limited, so detailed help is needed! Thanks!

  • Is there a way to export all photos in a event with modified names?

    Hi
    I want to export all my photos withing a event, but i want to see the modified photos, names and original dates so i can re import them in another library, possible?

    Select the pics in the Iphoto window and go file - export. In the resulting dialogue tick the boxes at titles and descriptions and places to write all the
    metadata to the files. It will then be there when you import to the other library.
    Alternatively use iphoto library manager for the job

  • Trouble exporting photos from iPhoto directly to a flash drive

    Hi,
    When I exported 7 photos from my iPhoto library, all marked JPEG, directly to my 256MB Memorex flash drive (first time of usage), a strange thing happened. When I opened the flash drive on my computer, 5 photos showed up visually showing the image and two showed up as Generic JPEG icons.
    The 5, (from info) were now marked Unix Executable File and the 2 Generics (from info) were marked JPEG.
    In going to Target, then CVS Drugs and then Walgreens to have prints made, all their machines showed no images available.
    All the images were taken on an HP photosmart 435, 3.1 MP digital camera.
    Fortunately, all the images were still on the camera media and they then printed out very well when I returned to Target with the camera media
    Many thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi captaindad,
    I had a similar problem using a flash drive using iPhoto on a Mac and PS on a PC... when I first plugged in the Flash Drive in the PC, most images appeared but not all. I kept refreshing the window and all eventually appeared.
    Now, I just drag and copy from iPhoto directly to my flash drive and all seems to be working smoother using this method rather than the export option, also doing it this way always ends up with an Image Thumbnail v. Generic JPEG icon... Rick

  • LR 3.3: Export new photos to Flickr before modified ones

    Hi,
    I'm using LR 3.3/64b and store my photos in Flickr.
    Due to slight hierarchy change in LR keywords, LR tagged more than 5000 of my photos as "modified to re-publish". LR defaults to re-publishing modified photos BEFORE new ones, and, as a consequence, I can't publish (via LR) my new photos before republishing all former ones which takesway too long (Flickr responds very slowly, it took me 14 hours!!! to republish about 1000 photos. I'm on a 2.5 MB/Sec ADSL connections, and LR is the sole applications connected to the Internet, yet uses an average upload speed of less than 10kB.Sec!).
    Please advise how can I:
    Configure LR to publish new photos BEFORE modified ones
    Increase my upload speed to Flickr
    Thanks

    You may wish to checkout the Flickr plugin by Friedl
    http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/flickr
    it might help but worth a look at.
    As for your speed, I'm sure you are aware that the ADLS upload speed may not be the same as your download speed (usually less) and also aware that some providers deliberately throttle your speed if you start using too much.    There are several speed checkers (no download required) on the web, for example ...
    http://www.broadbandspeedchecker.co.uk/
    Your changing of tag hierarchy is a similar exercise to that which I went through, and it caused all my photo's to be re-published.   I'm not sure if it is relevant to you, but it was this exercise that also caused me to discover that if I republish any photo then LR causes it to be marked as not publically searchable when it gets up to Flickr - In my case virtually negating the value of my tagging.     If important to you, then you may wish to check this aspect on any republished photos.

  • Iphoto 08 won't export modified version

    Hi!
    I'm having some real trouble here. I modify my photos in iPhoto, but when I export the pics, it exports the ORIGINAL version, not the modified version.
    I've even gone into the iPhoto library package and found the 'Modified' folder for my photos, and they're the SAME as well! I have NO idea what is going on here. The only copy of the actually modified photos that I can find is the thumbnails in the 'Data' folder inside the iPhoto library package.
    Any ideas??
    Thanks so much!

    paxrasmussen:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are you able to get the modified version if you just drag from the thumbnail to the desktop? Or is it not working that way as well as the File->Export method?
    Try rebiulding the library as follow: launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the option to rebuild just the database.
    Happy New Year

    Hi, I am having a little trouble with exporting images to another drive and Catalogue and need some help if anyone can give me some advice
    I am currently using Lightroom 5.6 and operating on a Mac with OSX Ver 10.9.5.
    I am receiving an error problem when doing the following -
    I am exporting selected photos from a particular Catalogue saved on Drive 1 to a folder created on another Drive where a Lightroom Catalogue has been created. In this Catalogue I have arranged for the images once exported to be moved to a different folder - I used the Auto Import process under the File dialogue box.
    When processing the Export I receive an error message for each of the images being exported indicating the following -
    Heading Import Results
    Some import operations were not performed
    Could not move a file to requested location. (1)
    then a description of the image with file name
    Box Save As                                  Box  OK
    If I click the OK button to each image I can then go to the other Catalogue and all images are then transferred to the file as required.
    To click the OK button each time is time consuming, possibly I have missed an action or maybe you can advise an alternative method to save the time in actioning this process.
    Thanks if you can can help out.

    Thank You, but this is a gong show. Why is something that is so important to us all so very, very difficult to do?

  • I'm getting an error message in Lightroom 6 when I try to export a photo. It's "The specified folder is not writable". It doesn't matter which folder I pick, I get the same message. However, if I open the image in photoshop and then save it, it works just

    I've already reset my lightroom preferences, didn't work. I also uninstalled, and reinstalled lightroom. Didn't work either.
    I have no problems with any other programs including photoshop, so this has to be an issue with lightroom.
    Also, I can import from a memory card using lightroom and save to them to the folders just fine, the error only comes when I'm exporting a photo after I'm done editing in.
    I'm running windows 8.1 and the folders are all onedrive folders. (I have unlimited onedrive storage so I take full advantage of it.) I've always saved them this way, and only started having trouble after updating to Lightroom 6

    The problem with write permissions for the OneDrive folder only shows up in Lightroom 6's export dialogue, that's why it's to irritating. Lightroom 5.7.1 is not having that problem nor does the file explorer. The problem also exists on both of my machines. I will try to check for other problems with the OneDrive troubleshooter though: Running the OneDrive troubleshooter - Windows Help   

  • I am having trouble on transferring photos from iPhoto to my Seagate External Hard Drive

    Im new to Mac and I was doing fine with my new laptop but somewhere along the way I have reach to a point where I cant continue my work. I am having trouble on transferring photos from iPhotos to my Seagate External Hard Drive, even when the hard drive is compatable with my MacBook Air. Some how I have trouble trying to drag my photos to my drive and it is not letting me to do so. Pls. help me in my sistuation or derect me to a website that will answer my questions. I am getting really upset and frustrated; so I'm out of ideas.

    even when the hard drive is compatable with my MacBook Air.
    What is the file system on that drive? Is it formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled)?
    And what is your iPhoto version? iPhoto 9.5.1?
    Some how I have trouble trying to drag my photos to my drive and it is not letting me to do so
    What exactly happens when you try to drag photos to your drive? Are you dragging from iPhoto's window to the drive?
    Can you export your photos, when you select the photos on iPhoto and use the command "File > Export"?

  • I need to be able to print or export some photos from iPhoto with the date the photos were taken.  Need this for a legal case.  Any suggestions?

    I need to be able to print or export some photos from iPhoto with the date the photos were taken.  Need this for a legal case.  Any suggestions?

    The date they were taken us in the EXIF data and is included in the export
    However it is trivial to modify it so I doubt that it would hold water in court

  • Why is iphoto having trouble with rotating photos all of a sudden?

    i've been using iphoto for a few years. suddenly it un-rotated all of my auto-rotated photos (which screwed up all of my face tags) and now when i upload new photos, if they auto-rotate during the upload they appear in the preview of a whole event, but if i double-click to see a vertical photo, or try to do a slideshow, i get the triangle with an exclamation point in it, indicating that something's wrong with the file. is anyone else having this trouble? or have any idea what to do?
    thanks...

    I've never used the Flickr feature so don't know if that as any bearing on the problem.  if you're satisfied with the newly "fixed" library you can delete the copy of the original library that you made. 
    However, since you're having problems with rotated photos you might try this and see if the new library has the rotated photos displayed correctly:
    Start over from scratch with new library
    Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
    1.  Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
    2. Open the library package like this.
    Click to view full size
    3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    4. Drag the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
    Click to view full size
    This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
    If the rotated photos display correctly in this new library then the problem lies with the orther libraries being damages somehow.  You may want to stay with the new library even though the projects, i.e. books, etc. and keywords are lost. 
    If you have a lot of keywords in your current library and want to move them to the new library you can by doing this:
    1 - open the old library and select one photo.
    2 - type Command+K to brinb up the keyword pane.
    3  - click on all of the keywords that are not blue so that all of the keywords are blue.
    4 - export that photo to the Desktop via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option. Select Kind=JPEG and check the two check boxes regarding keywords, locations, etc.
    5 - open the new library with iPhoto and import the exported photo from the Desktop.  That will bring in all of the keywords so that you don't have to recereate them one by one in the new library.

  • Sharing to flickr doesn't push the metadata of modified photos

    In iPhoto 09, we can share photo on flickr.
    There is a very annoying problem though. If a photo has been modified in iPhoto, the metadata is lost (well, it's not lost really, since it's kept in a database outside of the file) but the file corresponding to the working copy of the photo doesn't contain the metadata of the original file. Although this is very annoying for many reasons, I understand that one photo in iPhoto is not necessarily 1 file. Fine.
    The problem is that contrary to when a photo is exported, the metadata is not added to a photo that is shared on flickr (using the new 09 "share to flickr feature").
    It works correctly when sharing on facebook though.
    Here is a very basic scenario:
    Take a photo in "landscape" mode and another in "portrait" mode.
    Import them in iPhoto. Normally, the one in "portrait" mode will be rotated automatically by iPhoto so that it is displayed as it was meant to be display (great).
    Select those 2 photos and share them on flickr.
    The one in portrait mode will not have a "date/time taken" so the value will be the same as for "date/time uploaded". The one in "landscape" mode should be fine.
    I think this is because the file that is shared for the picture in landscape mode is still the original file while the one for the portrait photo is a working copy that doesn't contain the metadata.
    Is this a bug? Any chances to get a fix?

    I believe so.
    I have done some more tests and it looks like only the photos that have been rotated automatically because they were taken in portrait mode are affected.
    For example, the pictures that I have modified in iphoto are exported AND shared on flickr with all the metadata. So it is not a matter of having a working copy of the original photo or having the original photo file.
    It is really only for pictures that were taken in portrait mode.
    I have done this simple test:
    I import a photo that was taken in portrait mode, and export it with all the possible information check box checked (including location)
    => the exported photo doesn't contain the "generated date" and contains very little metadata (it does contain the location though).
    I then go back to iPhoto, and "revert" the photo "to original". It doesn't appear to change, and it still is displayed in portrait mode. But now if I export it, the export contains the full metadata.
    If I export a photo that got heavy modifications but that was taken in landscape mode, all the metadata is there.
    So it really looks like a bug related to the "portrait" automatic orientation. The metadata is lost somehow...

  • How to transfer modified photo in iPhoto to iPad?

    I transfered photo in iPhoto to iPad via iTune.  After I transfered, I edit some of the photos and sync my iPhoto with iPad again.  However, the modified photo will not transfer to iPad.  On iPad, I still see the photo before I edit.  I noticed that photo that I edited in stored in different folder (modified folder) in iPhoto.  I am using iPhoto 09 ver 8.1.2.
    Can anyone help to advise how could I sync the modified photo to iPad ?
    Regards,

    thanks for taking the trouble to reply. 
    iPhoto library is a package and modified folder is embedded and not accessible by user.  So I could not select it to sync.

  • When exporting a photo to photo library, all EXIF data is lost. What rational is behind this?

    When exporting a photo to photo library, all EXIF data is lost.
    What rational is behind this?

    Thanks for your reply on this!
    One issue seems to be with Foto Library app itself. When running an auto-correct there it looks like EXIF will be stripped more or less completely.
    Second issue is in iPhoto app on iOS when working on RAW. When exporting to the roll the EXIF is modified in a way. It was keeping most of the EXIF in case of Canon 5D MKII that I tested today, but the EXIF data is definately changed, e.g. lens type is different because maybe some fields are ignored there. Also the images are silently scaled down by 50% which is kind of annoying.
    The initial problem was observed with a Pentax K7 and I will need to reproduce the issue in this config I assume. Maybe tomorrow I can do this.

  • Images disappearing from slideshow - also unable to export these photos

    Hi I hope someone can help me....
    I made a slideshow of holiday photos and it played successfully 5 or 6 times, but when I came back to it recently some of the photos just don't appear (black screen) - when I went through it the photos that weren't appearing are still in the preview strip at the top of the page, but when selected, a grey box with a dotted line around it and a question mark in the middle appears.
    I didn't worry about this for a while, but now I am finding that I cannot export these photos either. It seems to be random - some photos I can burn to disc and some I can't. Is there anything I am missing, should I be looking for some info regarding these photos to see why they are behaving differently from others? This is now also happening to photos in my library that I haven't put in a slide show....

    Lindart
    To be honest I'm not sure why sometimes there's an exclamation point, and somtimes a question mark, but it essentially means the same thing. iPhoto cannot find the file.
    Assuming that you haven't been changing this in the iPhoto Library Folder then we have to assume that the database is corupt - which can happen from time to time. Sometimes the rebuild will fix it. Let's try an different method of rebuilding:
    Download iPhoto Library Manager from
    http://homepage.mac.com/bwebster/iphotolibrarymanager.html
    and use it to rebuild the library. It has a more robust series of tools for the job.
    In any event your pictures should be safe in the iPhoto Library Folder.
    In this folder there are various files, which are the Library itself and some ancillary files. Then you have three folders
    Originals are the photos as they were downloaded from your camera or scanner.
    (ii) Modified contains edited pics, shots that you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way.
    This allows the Photos -> Revert to Original command - very useful if you don't like the changes you've made.
    (iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.
    So, if you back up the iPhoto Library Folder it will save your photos.
    Regards
