Hi everyone. When I select 100 photos in iPhoto to copy and then paste into a folder on my hard disk, for some reason when I paste it only pastes 60 photos. When I select and copy 12, it only pastes 5. Etc. Any idea why that might be happening?

Try using the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option to get thje photos to the folder on the Desktop. Select the other options you want , Original for the unedited versions, JPEG for the edited version, Quality level, , keywords and other metadata.

Old Toad - thankyou. This helped - although I would say that it took a while to figure out the process. When you get to the 'Export' tab, you have to actually click that before it asks you where you would like to export it to. Usually it would ask you before then, instead of after hitting 'export' (I was hesitant to click on that button as Ididn't know where my photos would end up!)

Thanks again
