[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1606267"] It sounds as though you have iPhoto set NOT to copy images into its own library, but to just reference them in their original location. Thus, the photos are not actually in iPhoto, only references to them are, and require the stick for you to work with the photos. The default method is the opposite of this, with iPhoto copying imports into its own photo vault, whereupon you can discard the "originals." You may want to consider switching to this method, but you don't have to -- just copy the photos from the USB stick to a folder, place the folder when you want it permanently stored on your drive, then import that folder into iPhoto.
