Why is it IMPOSSIBLE to send photos from iPhoto to a USB stick??

This is really starting to annoy me.  I want to move photos from one computer to another using a USB stick.  Is that really so difficult?  Yet there is absolutely NO WAY to do this either from iPhoto or Finder.  Or if there is, then it is so totally counter-intuitive that only Apple could have come up with it.  I just wasted an hour of my life on this -- and I am NOT a happy customer.
The problem is that there are several hundred photos.  Do I have to mark and transfer every single photo separately from Finder?

You can find the photos in the finder and copy them over to the USB

  • Just purchsed an .Mac account but when I try to send photos from IPhoto..

    Hi there.
    I just purchased a memebership to .Mac. When I try to send photos from IPhoto they keep reverting back to my old trial .Mac name.
    I've already purchased the email only account for my permanent .Mac account, and deleted the old email trial name but it keeps coming up.
    What do I do to make IPhoto recognize the new email account and transfer it? Since my trial ran out, and I removed the old account in my "manage account" folder for .mac, I'm wondering why the Iphotos won't recognize the information.
    Thanks...

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    This is using Mail, right? It's really a Mail question, but have a look at an email window - create one. On the left hand side. below the Subject Line, there's a heading called Account: with a drop down menu.
    All the accounts that are active will be listed in the drop-down. If the unwanted one is there, then go to Mail -> Preferences -> Accounts (You'll need your password) -> Advanced.
    Select the unwanted account and unclick 'Enable this Account'
    Don't delete it or it'll delete any emails associated with the account too.
    I hope this is what you're asking... If not post again.

  • I'm a brand new Mac user. I want to send photos from Iphoto to my local store for printing, like I can do in Picasa. I can't find that option in Iphoto.

    I'm a brand new Mac user. I want to send photos from Iphoto to my local store for printing, like I can do in Picasa. I can't find that option in Iphoto. I do not want to order them through Itunes.

    I have not idea how you do it with Picasa but with iPhoto you either export the photos to a desktop folder and upload from there or burns that folder to CD - or from the upload window use the media browser in the lower left hand corner of the upload windows - media ==> photos ==> iPhoto

  • How do I export my photos from iPhoto to a USB in my desired sequence?

    How do I export photos from iPhoto to a USB in my desired sequence? I've tried exporting them one by one & in whole albums but they always revert to the original time sequence.

    When you export from iPhoto you're limited to the sorting options of the Finder, which is where you're exporting to. This principally leaves you with sorting on filename or date. The Finder doesn't so manual sorting.
    The trick is to set up your album in the order you prefer.
    Then when that's done, title the photos to reflect the sequence. So, John and Angela's Wedding 001, John and Angela's Wedding 002, John and Angela's Wedding 003 etc - you can do this using the Photos -> Batch Change commant
    Then export the snaps from iPhoto using the option to rename the files to the photo title.

  • Cannot send photos from iPhoto

    This is driving me nuts!
    I am on a MacBook Pro running Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.1. I am using Yahoo as my primary mail. When I try to send photos using iPhoto, I get the common message "The email server didn't recognize your user / Password combination". I know for sure that the username and password are correct, and sending regular email works fine.
    I've tried activating iCloud mail and trying that, but then I get a message that the outgoing mail server timed out.
    I've tried all the suggestions I've been able to find in other threads to no avail, although the other threads about this subject seem to focus more on Gmail.
    Anybody else using this setup and successfully sending?
    Thanks,
    Glen

    Use this for your SMPTE outgoing mail server in the settings of the iCloud account:
    smtp.mail.me.com
    After doing this, switch to the iPhoto as your mail preference (instead of Mail) in the general screen, and test it out.
    This fixed my issues after I kept getting an error with the server when email photos from iPhoto.  Once I manually added the correct outgoing server to iPhoto for my iCloud account, it worked fine.

  • I am unable to send photos from iphoto via email as an attachment to be downloaded onto another computer.  i thought e-mail would automatically pick up these photos if mailed out so they could be downloaded.

    At one time I was able to send photos from i photo library and I assumed the receiver could open these and download them into their apple computer (family).
    I have tried to send photos from library or folder as attachment but I am also unable to do this.  How do I send pictures as e-mail attachments which can be opened up and downloaded to another computer?

    I've managed to sort out my own problem!!  Shall write it down in case there are others out there who have a similar problem.   With iPhoto open, click on iPhoto on the top menu bar.  Click on preferences.  Then click on account.  This let me change the details such as the user name and password.  Luckily I played around with a couple of my usual passwords, and found one that worked.  Have now written it down!!!!

  • Trying to send photo from iPhoto

    I'm trying to send (email) photos from iPhoto. Computer says it doesn't recognize my user name or password. I've never had a problem emailing photos.....until now. Any suggestions? I'm sure it's simple but I don't know it!

    Did you select "Mail" in the Preferences>General>Default email reader?
    Note that I use Outlook - you should select Mail from the pop-up menu (if that's the mail client that you use).

  • Why can't I drag a photo from iPhoto to a folder?

    You guys - I used to be able to drag photos from iPhoto to pretty much wherever I wanted.  I'm currently trying to drag them to a folder, but it doesn't work.
    I tried to email them to myself, THEN drag them into said folder, still doesn't work.
    I had to open each of them in Preview, then save them as new files to the folder.
    WHAT!?  That's insane.  Am I missing something or have all of the updates changed things so drastically!?
    All of my business is up to date.  If this is what it's like updated, that is a bummer.

    This seems to be a desktop issue rather than an iPhoto one, as you can't drag from Mail either.
    So I'd start by repairing permissions.
    Can you export to the desktop?

  • How do I move my photos from iPhoto to a memory stick

    How do I move all of the photos in iPhoto to a memory stick. I want to keep them in a different physical location for safe-keeping.

    Format the memory stick first.
    This is our resident iPhoto guru, Terence Devlin's, advice, which should also apply here:
    You can move your iPhoto Library to an external disk:
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • Sending photos from iPhoto to FB the word "Publish" is grayed out.  How do I get it black again?, Sending photos from iPhoto to FB the word "Publish" is grayed out.  How do I get it black again?

    I have been sending pics from my iPhoto to FaceBook for a long time.  Today I tried sending them from my iPhoto and after clicking FB a window comes up with the question Do you want to publish...........(whatever the pics are about)?  Then I choose the option of "everyone" "friends of friends" and "only friends".  After choosing my option I can then click on "publish" and the pics go to my profile page on FB, or they did until today...because the word "publish" is grayed out and won't allow me to send them.  Anyone got any suggestions why this got grayed out, and how can I fix it.

    Your problem is that you have been running a Referenced Library, and now you're trying to convert this to a Managed Library
    A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
    A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management. 
    Simply changing the setting in the Preferences will not do this. It just means that imports from here forward will be Managed. Those that were Referenced remain so.
    Now, because you've moved the Referenced Files to the new disk, iPhoto cn't find them. So it throws the error message. This is one of the major reasons experience users recommend against Referenced Libraries.
    No change you make at this point will have any effect. The Library will try and update and throw the errors.
    Options:
    Let it run it's course and then fix it.
    Or
    Give it up as a bad job, recover your Photos and start over from scratch.
