moving pictures from Kodak Picture Disk to iphoto

I have about 1000 pictures on Kodak floppies that I would like to import to iPhoto, but so far I have only been able to work one at a time. I'll be an old man by the time I finish. (I'm 75 now) so I need help.

iMac G5, Mac OS X (10.4.3)

They are on floppies-the pics in jpg I can drag one ata time to iphoto. I open the disk in column view and that way I get a thumbnail (inverted) and can decide if I want to include the pic. After I drag to iphoto I have to rotate each individual pic in iphoto. I was hopeing there was an easier way. Lori, reading your answers last night I was very impressed with your knowledge and your concise answers. I know this a rather obtuse question so don't go out of your way, I thought you might have run across it before. My floppyies are between 6-12 years old of trips we can not duplicate.

Mary and Lori, I don't know why they are inverted. Of the 150 pics off of 10 floppies I only had one floppy that presented upright. I can rotate the entire bunch and have then upright until I make a slideshow then they are inverted again. I have tried everything I know to no avail. Next I am going to load them into Photoshop Album on my pc laptop allthough a trial run this aft did not look promising. These are all floppies made by Kodak and were all made at the same time (same trip). I keep working, but not too hard. Thank you for your efforts.

How many photos are on a disk? Floppies are only 1.4Mb, so it can't be that many photos per disk.

Anyhow, select one of the photos, then hit Apple Key + A and it will select all. Then drag them to iPhoto or to a folder or where-ever you want.

I don't understand why your photos would be inverted as you say, unless Kodak did something crazy to all of your photos?

Kodak and I have come to the conclusion that I have to live with it and enjoy what I have. So be it - consider it closed.

Thanks everyone. If I figure it out I will post.
