Q: How to move photos from multiple folders into one
Hello!
I exported photos from iPhotos to a folder on the Mac.
It saved all moments in different folders.
I want to combine all, so that all photos are in one folder.
How can I combine these multiple files from multiple folders into one?
Thank you for your help!
(PS next time I will not include divide m´by moments, but for now, how can I fix this?)
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

How many folders are there? You can use the Finder to flatten the folder structure, if the dragging methode recommended by TD would take too long:
- Select the folder with all your Moments folders inside in the Finder.
- Then enter the key combination ⌘F for "find".
- In the search window that opens change the search scope from the default "This Mac" to the name of your folder:
- Set the search rule to "Kind is Image".

Now you will see all photo from the subfolders in a flat structure:
Select all photos at once with ⌘A, then drag the lot of them to a different folder or create a new folder from the selected items by using the Finder command "File > New Folder from Selection":
