Now take a trip to the local food giant. Pick up a big pack of Hawaaaiaiaiaian bread and go home. Put the whole damn pack on the plate. Now pour ketchup everywhere even on your face. Take a glass from the cubbard and place ice cubes into the glass. Now pour some good ole fashioned Milo's sweet tea into the glass. Sit down damn it and enjoy some tv maybe a little bit of internet (but no porn yet!!!) and relax. This is a good time to reflect on life about what you have accomplished and what you want to accomplish. I'm glad to have helped . This has nothing to do with computers but I hope that you will try this method and be as satisfied as I am right now. Peace love and Water turtles

Singlet, why does everything you post end up being about food? You're really not making it easy for those of us who are trying to cut weight Bro... LoL

Easy! Open Terminal (Spotlight Search for it)
Copy and paste this into it, changing the path at the end to where you want the Folder to be

defaults write com.apple.iPhoto RootDirectory /path/to/desired/location

coming from a unix background I'd make a symbolic link, but JC's solution is much easier :)

JC, you're giving eddie linux/unix terminal commands. I think thats too much. Maestro, the white belt way would be to....

1. unplug your external drive
2. open iphoto, see if your pictures are there??? if they are there then they are being stored on your internal drive.
3. plug in your external, see if the pics are also there. if they are there also, its storing them on both. if they are on the external
drive just delete the files in iphoto and continue. you'll have to do this everytime your internal drive fills up but by then you can
find a more permanent solution. I'd get in touch with JC and maybe he could give you a list of terminal commands.

Get a mac.

...wait... ;)

Mine is the blue belt version! All Eddie needs to do is open Terminal, copy and paste that in, and change the directory to where he wants the pictures to be :)

To get the directory:
- Go into to the folder you want them in
- On that folder, Hold CMD and press I. It will say "Where": Perhaps if the drive is called "External Drive" it'll say:

Where: External Drive/Pictures/iPhone

That will be what you put after:

defaults write com.apple.iPhoto RootDirectory


SO, it would look like

defaults write com.apple.iPhoto RootDirectory External Drive/Pictures/iPhone

Dayum, it sounds a little complicated but I will attempt this tonight, thank you!

I think I need directions like if you were trying to show your grandmother who doesn't know anything. For example, I'm not sure what this even means... "Go into the folder you want them in" What folder?? .....I know, I know, I'm an idiot when it comes to computers :(

Like...you said that the photo goes from your iPhone to the internal drive (basically), and it just says you have no space? You want to re-direct where the images are placed, even if iPhoto is on the External, so that the images when you upload them go STRAIGHT to the external, where you wouldn't get such error.

So say you want them on your External Drive on a Folder called iPhone Pictures, you'd make a folder on your External Drive called that. Usually your drive comes up on the desktop, right? It usually has a name, like "External 1TB" or something? That's the name of the folder at the start.

So in order:

- Go to "External Drive" on desktop
- Right Click in the window that pops up, and click New Folder
- Name this folder 'iphone pictures"
- Press Cmd + Space together, so Spotlight comes up
- Type in "Terminal", and click the application that comes up called Terminal
- Copy & Paste OR Type In: defaults write com.apple.iPhoto RootDirectory External Drive/iphone pictures
- Press Enter


I hope this fucking works or it's a lot of effort for nada haha!
