How to move iphoto library from one account to another?

For one reason to another I'm making myself a new account on my mac. I'd like to move my iphoto library from the old account to the new one. I was wondering if the instructions about moving the library to a new location (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iPhoto/9.0/en/pht6d607c42.html) is just for moving the library within an account? Or does it also work for moving from old account to a new one on the same machine.
If not, any instructions for moving the library to a new account on the same machine?

If you have any problems with the library in the new account you might have to download and run BatChmod on the library to reset the ownership and permissions to the new account owner for all of the files in the library.  User the settings shown in the screenshot below:

For Owner use the owner name for that account.  If the account uses a different Group then use it also.  You can find the group name by seleting a file in your other account and typing Control+i to bring up the Info window.  The ownership and group will be shown near the bottom.

  • I want to move my library from one account to another, it is also on a different computer. How can I do this?

    I want to move my library from one account to another.  However, when I try to sync th old account it is not syncing to my iphone or exporting out.  How can I do this? Someone told me that it may be set to WiFi but it was not.  My libray is sitting there but I can get it out.  Mean while I have changed accounts and down loading to the iphone on my new account (and changing computers as well) How do I make this work so I can get my Library to sync to my iphone or export it from the old account. Is there anyway to move my library from one accont to another from the itunes side?
    Thx Rick

    Media is permanently tied to whatever account was used to purchase it.  There is currently no possible way to change the account it is tied to.
    Is there a reason why a new account was created?

    Hi,
    You can use the Transaction SCC1 to move the data from One Client to Another Client for a Client dependent table.
    The data should be present in a Transport and you can import to Transport to any client using SCC1.
    Contact the Basis team to know how to use SCC1.

  • Move iPhoto library from one user to another?

    How can I move (transfer) an iphoto library from one user to another on an iMac running 10.6.8  or alternatively allow one user to work with another user's iPhoto? Both users are on the same computer.

    hi
    fast you open your old user and copy the iPhoto library on disk partition or any external disk.
    next log in your another account and paste the iPhoto library file on users>(acc. name)> Picture
    after that when you open your iPhoto then hold the OPTION button and and choose the specified path (iPhoto library ) file
    i hope solved your problem

  • How to move entire library from one computer to another w/ external hd

    I want to move all of my music to a new mac I purchased without losing my ratings, playlists and playcounts. All of my music is on an external harddrive. Do I just plug the external harddrive into my new mac and then just drag the entire music folder from the external into itunes? It seems to me like doing this will result in losing all of my playlists ratings and playcounts. Does anyone know if I can remedy this by exporting the xml from my old mac and then dropping that in itunes on my new mac and also changing the location of my music folder in the preferences pane of itunes on my new mac? Thanks for any help or suggestions.

    If you have any problems with the library in the new account you might have to download and run BatChmod on the library to reset the ownership and permissions to the new account owner for all of the files in the library.  User the settings shown in the screenshot below:

  • How can I move my iPhoto Library from one Mac to another without losing the comments on the individual photos in the process?

    How can I move my iPhoto Library from one Mac to another without losing the comments on the individual photos in the process? The source Macbook (OS 10.4.11 and iPhoto 6.0.6 (3.2.2.)) is with my husband in Germany, the target MacBook Pro (OS 10.8.5, iPhoto 11) is with me in Japan. Thanks for your help.

    I copied the iPhoto Library to a CD and from there to the new MacBook
    If you copied the library to the CD via the Finder it would be no different than the methods Terence suggested.  If you used the Share ➙ Burn menu option from inside iDVD you'll get a mini library that has to be accessed from the open library and the events/alubums copied into the destination library.  Not the same as the other methods.
    The Share ➙ Burn method is no longer supported with iPhoto 9 and later.

    Hi, How to move SQL database from one location to another location i.e. from C' drive to D' drive ? please share some link.
    Thanks and Regards, Rangnath Mali

    Hi Rangnath,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to move databased from C drive to D drive.
    You can detach Database so that the files become independent, cut and paste the files from source to destination and attach again.

  • How to move database objects from one user to another user

    Could someone help how to move database objects from one user to another user
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks a lot for the reply.
    Actually I wanted to know whether there is any command to change the owner ship of the table.
    For ex table1 belongs to user1. can the owner of table1 to be changed to owner2.
    directly using an oracle command. I knew that it can be done using import and export, since the table was 200 million thought the rename command would be faster instead of import and export.
    Thanks Billy for letting me know that it is not possible using oracle query.
