[QUOTE="edokid, post: 85835, member: 259418"] Hey I need some help and can't find much on this online, doesn't seem like iphoto allows for easy backups. I have a 12" powerbook with 2gb of photos in iPhoto 5.0. That also includes movie clips from my camera that are in the albums. I want to back everything up then copy it to my PC to burn to DVD. I can't find anything on this so what I did is I went through each album one at a time, and chose export and export using album name. That gave me thousands of pics that kept the album. I put them on ipod transfered to PC and burned, no problem. If I lose my iPhoto ever at least the file names keep the album. Only problem is none of my movies from the camera exported, looks like you can't do that! Do I really have to do that manually and figure out which albums have movies and which don't? There's so many. Is there not a program that will backup iPhoto or something easier? I don't care if I can access the backup from windows or what not. Even if its just one file that I can then hit restore and have it go back into iPhoto. It's such a pain, I don't even know if I want to keep using iPhoto after this, any suggestions?? :S [/QUOTE]
