Exporting iPhoto Library/Events to a Real Computer

It's that time of the year again. I want to move all of my photos off of the MacBook air and onto a real computer. I did this last year at almost the same time.

My notes started off good, but then sort of tapered off.

Here's Apple's response to What is the proper way to transfer those pics/video to a real computer?


1 - select the photo(s) in iPhoto

2 - export (file menu => export) to a desktop folder -- or if you want the event structure to be retained set the subfolder to event names in the export

3 - copy the top folder to the PC

Apple offered a statement directly to Ars Technica: "With the introduction of the new Photos app and iCloud Photo Library, enabling you to safely store all of your photos in iCloud and access them from anywhere, there will be no new development of Aperture. When Photos for OS X ships next year, users will be able to migrate their existing Aperture libraries to Photos for OS X.” In addition to telling users that iPhoto will be discontinued and rolled into the new Photos app, Apple also confirmed to Ars Technica that Aperture will be updated to ensure Yosemite compatibility, but users shouldn't expect any further development or updates beyond that.
