Uploading pics from iPhoto library to the web

Hallo all together!
I know how to upload pics from iPhoto to any other places, so this is NOT my question.
My specific question: I'm visiting a website and there I want to upload some pics which are located in the iPhoto library. I know there is a combination of keys to press, iPhoto library will be opened, you can see all pics like in a normal folder. So they can be uploaded.
o.k., with "ctrl" and "alt" I can open the content, but this is not enough.
Does someone of you know this combination of Keys? Please tell me ....
Thanks and best Regards from Klosterneuburg/Austria

Andy,
if you do not see the "Media" section in the sidebar, when you try to upload to a web page in the "open" dialogue, hover with the mouse to the right of the title "Media". There may be a hidden Show/Hide control. If necessary, click "Show".
This window may take a long time to populate, when you select the iPhoto library. You may be seeing "loading ..." for quite some time.
If the iPhoto library does not show at all, it may need repairing to recreate the previews.

I am unable to upload pics from iphoto library into fb

whenever i tried to post pics to my fb from the upload menu in Facebook. I can't see the iphoto menu on the open foolders. it only gives me the option to go to my pictures file which doesn't have all of my pictures from iphoto. How do i fix this problem. ?

Have a read of this. The first option is the one you want, but you may have to scroll in the window to see it.

Uploading pics from Iphoto to website degrades quailty. Can anyone help??

When I upload my pictures from my digital camera to Iphoto, the picture quality is great. But, when I upload pics from Iphoto to any online website such as facebook, or email, etc, the picture quality degrades and looks very grainy. I tried using a compressor program to change the size of the picture but that doesn't seem to help. I'm using iphoto 08. Any suggestions??

Yes, the quality is very bad because you're uploading tiny thumbnail files. What would you expect?
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

You need to set it up once in iPhoto-> Prefs -> Accounts b/c not everyone who uses iPhoto has or uses Mail.

Can't upload pics from iPhoto

I have the latest version of iPhoto (purchased my computer just 3 months ago). Ever since we set up the computer I have not been able to select any pictures from iPhoto when using another application. For example, I want to use a picture from iPhoto as my buddy profile picture on iChat, but it won't let me. When I click on "pictures" 2 folders show up: iPhoto and Photobooth. However, the iPhoto file shows up as gray and I can't even click on it. It will, however, let me choose pics from Photobooth. I also can't use my iPhoto pictures for myspace, or for emailing, or ordering prints from an outside source such as Walgreens, Costco, Snapfish, etc. How do I fix this?

The basic answer is to export the photos you want to use - although there are several other answers depending on just what you want to do.

Uploading photos from iPhoto library

I need an explanation of how to resume an upload of all my photos in the iPhoto library on my iMac. I started to upload them last week but got interrupted and am not sure where I left off. Photos are all numbered/named with long, esoteric numbers (e.g., 355575043_4e333_m). In other words, what is the easiest way to pickup where I left off. Also do duplicate photos get up;loaded, or, will iCloud just ignore those?

Signed into my icloud drive > clicked on upload > navigated to my iphoto library > selected pix I wanted to upload to the cloud. This was last week. I got about 1/3 of my iphoto library uploaded when had to stop. Came back to resume the upload process only to discover I have no idea where I left off. Being the lazy lad that I am, I never rename my pix no give them any unique identifiers.

Upload pic from IPhoto to the web

How do I reduce the file size of a photo so I can upload it to a website?

Select the pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export.
You can select the dimensions (length x breadth) and the compression level (File Size) in the export window. Complete the export to the desktop and upload from there.

How to transfer pics from 1 library to another iPhoto

How can I transfer pics from one iPhoto library to another iPhoto library, without having duplicated the space on the harddrive?
Will the space (GB) duplicate when I copy the pics from one library into the other and delte the 1st one or will it stay the same?
please help!
rewards given!

Hello,
I think this is likely what you want...

When done you should occupy just one space, but be sure you have a backup if it's important.

Is it possible to upload pictures from iPhoto to my digital camera?

Anybody know if it is possible to upload pics from iphoto to my digital camera? I have a Canon ixus.

Yes it is, but you'll need a USB Card Reader. Canon Cameras don't mount in the Finder. It's a "feature" of the brand. So, take the card from the camera and pop it into a USB Card Reader. Now it will appear on the Desktop like any disk. Then simply export the pics from iPhoto (File -> Export) and copy them to the Card.

Before I downloaded Lion every time I would upload a pic from iphoto there would be two files. One that was 1.8MB and another that was 50KB. Now I can only find the 1.8MB one. Did this option disappear with Lion?

Before I downloaded Lion every time I would upload a pic from iphoto there would be two files. One that was 1.8MB and another that was 50KB. Now I can only find the 1.8MB one. Did this option disappear with Lion? I really need this option!

Sorry but this is not clear.
When you would "import" what?
two files would show up in "images".
Do you mean in the All Images search in the Finder?
IF so:
1.Never interact with photos that are in iPhoto via the All Images Search. This does not understand the iPhoto Library and it's very, very easy to damage the library this way.
2. What you were seeing was the original file you imported and the thumbnail created by iPhoto for viewing on the iPhoto Window. That thumbnail is not designed for user access.
What are you trying to do ultimately?

I cannot upload photos from iPhoto 9 to Flikr. When I attempt to do so, I get the message "the login details or auth token passed were invalid." Please help.

I cannot upload photos from iPhoto 9 to Flikr. When I try, I get the message "the login details or auth token passed were invalid." I am using iPhoto 9 version 8.1.2, and my OS is 10.9.5. My computer is a MacBook Pro. I do not have this trouble with my iMac. This trouble started before I updated to OS10.9.5. I do not have this problem when uploading to FaceBook or sending by e-mail.
This problem started when I tried to upload some photos after hitting the "use other account" tab. This took me to a Flikr site asking me for permission to make my iPhoto information available to others. I clicked "yes," and then I changed my mind and clicked "no." I haven't been able to upload to Flikr since.
I searched Flikr and Yahoo for a solution, and Yahoo says the trouble is in iPhoto. I checked my Flikr account, and iPhoto extensions are enabled.
I need to upload some school and alumni photos, so I sure could use some help. I am Not computer proficient. Thank you.

1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now?

I'm trying to upload pictures from iphoto to stores such as walmart or costco for prints. the images won't upload to these sites. i'm new to mac so i know i'm missing a step somewhere.

i'm not able to upload pictures from iphoto to stores such as walmart or costco to order prints. the images just won't load. does anyone know what i'm doing wrong??

Well, since there is no function to export from iPhoto to these sites directly, here is a simple way how you can try it:
- create a folder on your desktop
- name it like "WalMart pics"
- open iPhoto
- resize it so you can still see the folder you just created
- select the pictures you want to send to the store in iPhoto and drag them onto the new folder
The folder now contains the pics you selected. Now go to the stores' websites and upload the pictures from that folder.
You might also use the "Share" option in iPhoto to get the photos into a folder, but I like the direct drag and drop better.

Can't find the backup from iPhoto library in TM

I had 10.5 Leopard installed, and I seriously screwed it. So I got 10.6 Snow Leopard, formatted the Hard Drive and started it all from scratch.
The thing is, after installing Snow Leopard I got all my files back from TM, except the iPhoto library. I can find it nowhere! And I've looked over the 2 different external hard drives I had used to backup my data. In any of them I find the iPhoto Library under the images folder.
I've got no idea what happened. Why in the world wouldn't TM back up my iPhoto library, once I didn't add it to the list of folders TM wouldn't backup in the Pref Pane?
Does that mean I lost I may pics?

When you launch Time Machine and go back in time to you see the iPhoto library in the pictures folder (default location) before the upgrade? If so select it and click restore to bring it back

I would like to copy my iPhoto (9.4.1) library from my Mac Pro (10.7.5) to a Macbook Pro (10.7.5). Can I drag the iPhoto Library to Air Drop and send them to the MacBook? Will that then be a usable iPhoto library on the Macbook?

I would like to copy my iPhoto (9.4.1) library from my Mac Pro (10.7.5) to a Macbook Pro (10.7.5). Can I drag the iPhoto Library from the Pictures folder to Air Drop and send them to the MacBook? If I then move that to the Pictures folder on the MacBook will that then be a usable iPhoto library on the Macbook?

It would be better if you could connect the two Macs via a hard wired LAN to copy the library from the Mac Pro to the MacBook. Wireless connections can have momentary dropouts which could affect the reliable copying of files.
If you do go with Air Drop be sure to open and inspect the copied library closely to confirm it was a successulf copy.
