Transferring Photos

[412 Burgh]

Sorry, but I'm clueless. Usually I'm pretty good on a computer but is there a way I can transfer my photos in my 'iPhoto' on my macbook pro onto my PC? I have over 500 pictures, and only a 2gb flash drive. I only want the RAWs for my PC to edit, and I couldn't find anything worthwhile on google.

Removable hard drive?

Copy from the mac and then to the pc.

Can an external harddrive transfer from MACBOOK to PC?

It should be able to. If I'm not mistaken (been a long time since I've had to do this) Macs can read both FAT32 and NTFS filesystems. I'm pretty sure they can write to a FAT32, but not NTFS (unless this has changed in the past few years). Mac's use HFS+ which Windows cannot (well, they used to not be able to, not sure about now, honestly) read without third party tools. Just make sure the drive isn't formatted by the Mac and you should be ok.

Sorry if this is at all outdated. I haven't had to deal with these types of issues in a long time. I know this used to be the case, what I've written here, but it might be slightly different now. If anyone wants to correct me, please do.

Thank you. I'm new to the mac world, and I was reading all the reviews and some people say no, other people say yes. I was just wondering, seem like it would be simple enough!
