I need to move 1000 photos from one library to another. How do I do that and keep the ratings and dates they were created? I tried exporting them, but it loses all info. Also, how do I move the quicktime movies from one iphoto library to another? They were exported as jpgs

Add both libraries to iPhoto Library Manager.  Then select the events or albums that you want to copy from library A  and drag them to library B in iPLM.

  • How do I move photos from one library to another?

    I have moved my 34gig iphoto library from my MBP to an external drive. I have now created a second library on the MBP with the intention of keeping just a smaller selection of my photos in this ready to edit.
    Is there an easy way of importing photos from the old library on the external drive to the new one? Do they link up in any way, or, will I need to export a selection from the old library to a new folder on the desktop and then import from there?

    To move all the versions, metadata and photos from one Library to another use iPhoto Library Manager.
    Exporting from one and then importing to another will not get all the metadata (Faces, for instance) nor will it get the versions.
    Another way to achieve what you seem to want to do:
    1. Quit iPhoto.
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the external drive.
    Now you have two full copies of the Library. To choose between them: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    3. On the Internal Library, remove the pics you don't want with you all the time.
    Now you have one full library on the external and another smaller sub-set on the Internal.
    A couple of comments:
    a. The external disk needs to be formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    b: When you're removing the unwanted pics from the Internal Library you need to delete them in batches of about 100 or so. Trashing more at one time can cause problems with the database.

  • How can I move a photo from one project to another

    How can I move a photo from one project to another without creating a duplicate so I have the same photo in two projects.
    I seems to me in the past when I moved the photo from project 1 to project 2, I would get a number showing the # of photos being moved and you could drag and drop in the 2nd folder and the photos would disappear from project 1 and show up in project 2. is there a setting I am missing.  Now when I drag and drop the photo no red # shows up and the photo stays in project 1 and also shows up in project 2 apparently creating a duplicate.
    Any suggestion?

    Now when I drag and drop the photo no red # shows up and the photo stays in project 1 and also shows up in project 2 apparently creating a duplicate.
    The projects are the basic containers.  Each image and all its versions are in exactly one project.
    You can use an image in many albums, without duplicating it, also in many products like books, screensaver, slideshows.  But the projects are the basic structure of the library and you cannot have the same image in two different project, without duplicating it by storing the same original image files twice. Use albums to organize your library thematically.
    Sorry, I misread your question.   Dragging an image file between projects should move the image and all its versions to the other project.  Aperture should only duplicate the image, if you hold down the alt/options key while dragging and move the image otherwise.
    Which Aperture version are you using? And which MacOS X version?  Is your profile signature "MacBook Pro with Retina display, Mac OS 9.2.x, Aperture 3.5.1" still valid?
    In Aperture 3.6 on MacOS X 10.10.1 dragging between projects is still working as expected:

    Don't do that - flag the photo and go to the target event and use the add flagged photo to selected event command to move it intact within iPhoto

    how do I transfer photos from one library to another?

    Best way is using the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - 
    you can export form one library and import into the other one but this does not get all metadata or versions

  • IMovie 10 - how do I move an event from one library to another?

    Greetings,
    I have updated all of my projects and events from iMovie 9 to iMovie 10.0.1. They now all sit in different libraries on different external HDDs.
    How do I move an event from one library to another library in iMovie 10? How do I copy an event from one library to another library in iMovie 10?
    Thanks,

    Simply drag and drop from one library to another.  See:  http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/#mov3fa25bae7

  • Can I move a purchase from one library to another as long as it's the same account?

    Can I move a purchase from one library to another as long as it's the same account?

    Yes. Just copy the purchase to the user account/computer and drag it into the iTunes window or use the Add to Library command. If iTunes isn't authorized to the iTunes Store account the purchase was made through, you'll just have to authorize that system.
    Regards.

  • Move Photos from one Library to another

    How can I move pictures from one library to another in Iphoto 11 ?

    1. Export from one, import to the other. Though you will not get all the versions if you do this. You also need to be sure to sue the options in the Expor dialogue to write all the metadata to the files or that won't come over. Note there is no way to export Faces data.
    2. Use iPhoto Library Manager to move the files and all versions and all metadata - including Faces - between libraries. However this hasn't been fully updated for iPhoto 11 so you'll need to wait a few days.
    Regards

  • How to move photos from one library to another?

    Hi,
    I currently have 2 libraries and I want to move photos from one library into the other.
    How do I have to proceed?
    Thx

    We're thinking of adding a library copy feature soon.  Hoping you can share some info here to help us understand how this might best work fo you.   Here's a few questions I have:
    - What do you use the 2 libraries for?
      - Why do you want to copy?
      - Do you have albums, favorites, and comments associated with the photos?  Do you want them copied?
    Anything else that you are hoping to accomplish here?
    Thanks in advance,
    Peter

  • How do you move photos from one library to another in iPhoto 9.4.3

    I have half 2009 photos in one library and the other half in a different library.  I'd like to move several photos to one of the libraries to make a photo book.  How do I do this?

    use iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - 
    Otherwise you can move the image and selected metadate by exporting form one library and importing into th eother
    FWIW it is almost always better to have a single iPhoto library with all of your photos in it

  • Unable to move or copy from one library to another

    Hi All,
    I am unable to move my documents from one share point document library to another. I open both the libraries in Explorer view and try moving or copying. But i am getting this below message. please see below image.

    1.         What’s the size of the folder you need to move? Is it larger that 50MB?
    2.         What’s the version of operation system you are using? Is it Windows Server 2003 or Vista or XP?
    If the answer is yes, please try to copy and paste a file which has smaller size to see if it will work. If it works, you can refer to this KB http://support.microsoft.com/kb/900900
    to modify the registry keys to solve the problem
    1.         Click “Start”, click “Run”, type “regedit”, and then click “OK”.
    2.         Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters
    3.         In the right pane, right-click the “FileSizeLimitInBytes” value, and then click “Modify”.
    If you cannot see the “FileSizeLimitInBytes” value, right-click the blank space in the right pane, click “New”, click “DWORD Value”, type “FileSizeLimitInBytes”, and then click “OK”.
    4.         In the “Edit DWORD” Value box, click to select the “Decimal” option. In the box under “Value data”, type a value that is larger than the size of the file that you want to download. Click OK.
    Note: The default value for the file size limit is 50000000 bytes.
    5.         Quit Registry Editor. Restart the computer.
    Hope this helps.

  • Move stickie file from one mac to another, move stickie file from one mac to another, How do I move stickie file from one mac to another

    How do you transfer the stickie data file from one mac to another?

    I think this is the file -
    In (hard drive) > Users > yourhomefolder (the one with the house icon) > Library, look for a loose file named StickiesDatabase
    Copying that file to the same location on the new machine (and replacing the file there now) should move the notes. It is probably a good idea that both machines be running the same OS X version.

  • How Do I Move My Photos From One Drive To Another?

    Can I simply do this in my "Folders" view by dragging the highest level "Photo Folder" to the other drive.
    My computer's primary drive (C) is only 500GB whereas my second drive (D) is now 1TB.  For obvious reasons I would like to get my nearly 3,000 digital photos moved to the larger drive.
    Running Premiere Elements 11 under Microsoft Windows 7 on a Lenovo W520 Laptop 

    MGW of Boulder
    The bottom bottom line may be to make the photo-moves in stages, one successful stage after another C to D drives.
    And, then make Elements Organizer Slideshow Project (.psess) and Premiere Elements project.prel media reconnects
    as they come, using whatever the program gives you in the way of media reconnect dialogs. Alternatively using the
    program's Replace Footage feature.
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Replace Footage
    Below is the unabridged version of the above.
    The bottom line is that you are going to run to media disconnect/reconnect issues when you move, delete, or rename
    files/folders  after the save close of the Elements Organizer Slideshow Project and/or the Premiere Elements 12 project
    file which uses the Slideshow Project as source media.
    The reconnect of the Elements Organizer’s Slideshow Project media can be as simple as double clicking the Slideshow
    Project thumbnail in the Elements Organizer and watching as it automatically reconnects the media to the Slideshow Project.
    Other times, the program is unsuccessful in the find/reconnect mission, and its dialog offers you the opportunity to “find them
    yourself and reconnect the media to the Slideshow Project”.
    In this scenario where Premiere Elements is working with the Elements Organizer slideshow, when you open the Premiere
    Elements saved closed project, you should be greeted with the first of the “Where is the file…..?” messages.  Using the first
    and directing it to the current location of the first missing photo can restore not only that photo but all the others in the folder.
    In most cases, the reconnection of the missing files at the Elements Organizer level did not automatically reconnect the
    media in its slideshow contribution to Premiere Elements. But, there was one time when it did.
    When you write 30,000 photos to be moved…the variables are overwhelming. The main objective should be maintain the
    integrity of your existing saved closed Premiere Elements projects files and that of the Elements Organizer Slideshow
    Project files. I would use the Project Archiver to archive these existing projects. If you need Project Assets media whether
    used on the Timeline or not plus the media that went to the Timeline, then use the Copy option of the Project Archiver. If you
    just want media that went to the Timeline, then use the Archiver option.
    Adobe Premiere Elements 11 * Archiving projects
    The rationale behind the Project Archiver is that is makes copies of the source media and the project .prel file and places
    them in a special folder. The project.prel in that folder then traces back to the source media in that folder and is independent
    of the original source media on the computer hard drive.
    If you want to get the Elements Organizer Slideshow Project (.psess file) out of harms way, you could consider copying that
    file and saving it to a safe save spot on the computer hard drive. The Slideshow Project (.psess file) is found
    Local Disk C
    Program Data
    Adobe
    Elements Organizer
    Catalogs
    Name of Catalog
    Projects
    And in the Projects Folder is the Slideshow Project (.psess file).
    As I said in the abridged version of all this at the top of the post, you may not want to be this "guarded" and instead just use
    the approach mentioned at the top.
    I will think about this some more.
