I cannot get my pictures from iphoto on my imac. I try and drag the picture to my desk top and I get a white circle with a stop line through, it will not let me. I am also not able to export the pictures to the desktop. It says 'unable to create'.

Is it something in the preferences or can I export them back to my phone?

Are you able to export/drag them to locations other than your desktop?
Is anything else on your desktop right now?
Can you copy or save any other documents to your desktop?

No, it's like the pictures are locked. I tried to put them in folder, cannot do. I have other stuff on my desk top but I know that not the problem. I was able to get other pictures from the iphoto. The older ones I cannot.
