Export photos from Mac to PC

Hello

Recently got a MacBook Air, to replace an old Windows PC.  Finally got all transferred through and decided that I could use my old PC as a backup of my photos.  Today I exported all my pictures from 'Photos', to an external drive (FAT32) and can see the files on my Windows PC, but when I look at the pictures they don't open - errors such as 'invalid or unknown JPEG marker' / 'not a file that Quicktime understands' / 'Viewer does not support this file format.

What have I done wrong?  Is there a specific way, I should export these pictures so that they are visible on a PC?  Kind of limit ever go back to a PC if Im not able to do?

Thanks in advance

Nigel

Sorry, just realized that I was being stupid... There are "._IMG" and "IMG" files in my directory, which I suppose is a thing of Mac.  The "IMG" files work correctly.

Thanks, I'll try and delete this thread now to avoid my embarrassment!

  • export Photo from Mac iOS slideshow

    If you export your slideshow to iTunes, why can I not see the movie file in the video under your own movies app like I did on my Mac?  When you check the "import to iTunes", where you see it exactly?  I can see it on my Mac, but how can I see it on my Apple TV and iOS devices?

    Hi Canozzie11,

    My understanding is that you want a slideshow of the Photos app on your Mac to be available as a video on your iOS devices and your Apple TV. Is this fair?

    It seems that if you're already following the instructions of this help page to export the slideshow as a video to iTunes - export photos, videos and slideshows - Photos help.

    Once exported to iTunes, you will find the video slideshow under movies > Home Videos. You can read this on your computer, or by using AirPlay you can play from your computer to your Apple TV. See this article - use AirPlay to stream content from iTunes on your computer wireless.

    To get the video to your iOS devices, it must be synchronized from iTunes on your computer. You must be sure that the video that you want to synchronize to the device is selected in iTunes under movies before you synchronize. See this article - synchronize your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with iTunes via USB.

    Once synchronized to your iOS device, you can play it from there to an Apple TV using AirPlay. See this article - Use AirPlay to stream the contents of your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch's wireless.

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    Sincerely.

  • Is Photos from mac to improve?

    I transferred most of my photos from IPhoto on Photos.

    IPhoto has worked very well with changes in lots of place names etc.

    Also I could find pictures by location, date etc.

    You cannot sort photos by date (except the date entered in the system and I have thousands of pictures scanned years)

    You can not get photos by location so that you can not find pictures easily, as you could in Iphoto

    One who introduced pictures is completely incompetent

    There are fixed, I should migrate everything to Iphoto or should I find another system - either on mac or PC

    Thank you

    Sorry, but you need to share information to help and yu have to worry about learning to use the new software - all new software has a learning curve

    You posted in iPhoto for Mac forum and State to have OS X 10.6.2 that cannot run pictures - what you actually?

    In the current version of Photos (OS X 10.11.4) and Photos 1.5

    1. you lot change names, places, keywords, etc. in neutrophilia a group of photos and find information and entering the information you want - it applies to all selected photos

    2. you can find photos by location, date, etc using the search command or the smart albums (menu, file == > new smart album)

    3. you can sort the photos in albums of the user by title and date up and down - and you can make your own "all photos" album with the help of a smart album with a criterion that fits everything as the date is earlier than 1/1/5000 - then you can sort you want

    4 - Yes you can get the photos by location (see #2) - as the Italy-text search or use a smart album for description includes the location

    and of course who have already submitted Photos is definitely not incompetent - they expect just the users to care about learning to use the software - all in all a great idea for a lifetime

  • Photoshop Elements, organizer & mobile photos from Mac to PC

    Hello

    I have currently more 70 000 photos in iPhoto, I edit in Photoshop Elements.  I have myself treated just for an upgrade to 14 items and organizing see during the installation process reminded me that I should see how to store and organize my photos.  At some point soon, I intend to spend my Macbook to a PC.  14 items came with a disc of Mac and a PC drive, so I guess that I would be able to use it on a Windows laptop with no problems.  What I wonder is seen my photos on my Mac, organized to the Organizer if is going to make it easier or more difficult to transfer them to PC?  If I want with iPhoto to organize my photos for now, or take the plunge immediately and use Organizer? My understanding is that it will be a big headache in any case (advice gratefully received, but a little off topic!) to transfer my photo library from Mac to PC.  Is there a way that organizing can help the transition as I could use it on both Mac and PC?  I'm guessing not, but thought someone knowledgable might be able to help!

    Thank you

    Yes, the boxed version is "double platform.

    I'm not a Mac user, but there are two ways to work with iPhoto: either use iPhoto as the organizer and send images to change to the item editor. You do not use the Organizer in the process. Or you use the option to send your entire library to the Organizer, which duplicates all your library iPhoto hidden on your computer and allows you to use the Organizer.

    http://barbarabrundage.com/2010/11/

    So, I can see the following process:

    1. be sure you are using the second solution, to import your ENTIRE library in iPhoto on your computer so that your files are no longer hidden and private iPhoto files; the Organizer all will keep them in its catalog.

    2. perform a full backup of the Organizer on an external drive

    3 - install the 14 on the PC

    4 - Use the recovery menu in the Organizer to restore on your computer. Who restores your catalog and all of your media files.

  • Transfer photos from Mac to iPhone via airDrop.

    Picture of the application.

    MacOS Sierra, IOS 10.0.2.

    During a transfer of photo through release, location data are not always transferred? On the Mac, they are there, but not always on the iPhone after the transfer.

    Thank you.

    Out of curiosity I tested with a few pictures in my house:

    1. Select a photo, then menu of the UTI share pour export to Airdrop on my iPhone-> location not available on the phone
    2. If I first made an export of the photo through "file > exporter > exporter the original...". "and the transfer if I picture after via the of Airdrop in Finder, the picture keeps the location on the iPhone.

    The same home?

    Edit:

    Here Re: dump photos to another Mac it says that you must export the photo first and then it drops to your other device. But he has post comes from 2013. But I also have the problem that Aidrop via the share menu in photo delete location data :-(

  • Export photos from an Album result in pictures that the Album was containing

    When you export an album, sometimes I have more images "exported" that the album was "apparently" containing.

    I already discovered that when an album contains a 'burst', it is counted for 1 photo (while it contains several photo). And he also discovered that if you open the bursting and keep for example 1 frame only, the problem is not yet solved: after the album export, return abducted executives of the explosion. Unless you go to the "recently deleted" folder and permanently delete deleted images (or you wait 30 days). Then, after the final deletion, the album exported no longer contains the deleted photos.

    My problem: I have albums, not containing not burst, and when exporting them, I have pictures in the album for example in the Photo Album: 2 photos: img001.jpg & img003.jpg. After export, I have a folder with img001.jpg, img002.jpg & img003.jpg.

    No idea how to "unmask" and remove this image in Photos directly - so the exported Album is a true copy of the Photo Album?

    Thank you

    Erik.

    Erik, are you exporting the original with "file > export > export original unmodified" or you export the revised versions?

    Is the album that you export from a standard album or an album mart?  And even RAW and JPEG photos?

  • cannot sync photos from mac to iPhone

    I can't download my pictures, I regularly did in the past, since my Mac - OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 to my 6 - iOS 9.2.1 iPhone more.

    I used to sync my photos manually from Photos where I stored all my files well organized with video and photos taken with my iPhone, but also with other devices and uploaded pictures.

    I'm very frustrated because today ' today I cancelled by mistake all my previous pictures already on my iPhone (I used the iCloud library) and now I can't go back more...

    How can I solve the problem? I'm certainly not an expert...

    I also improves the iCloud to 200 GB storage available to not lose all my photos.
