I want to transfer 400 photos in an iphoto library album to a zip drive to give to someone to download on their PC.
I have put the zipdrive in the usb port and it shows up on my desktop and I have tried to drag the album to the icon but it doesn't stick. I would appreciate any help. Lynn

Is there enough capacity on this zip drive to allow you to copy this folder ?

Instead of dragging the folder to the icon, try finding the zip disk in explorer (it will have its own drive letter) and copy the folder or pictures directy into the free space of the zip disk. I think the smallest zip disk they made was 100mb, and 400 1mb pics will not fit. If you right click the 400 pics folder and select properties it will tell you how much room you need. You can also make an empty folder on the disk, fill it with as many pics as the disk will take and after the transfer fill it again (or use more than one disk). Using Windows Explorer also allows you to see if there is anything already on the disk before you try copying.
