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 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.

  • 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.

  • HT1918 Is there a way to transfer iTunes Store purchases or an iTunes library from one user to another?

    Is there a way to transfer iTunes Store purchases or an iTunes library from one user to another?
    Historically, I have my own laptop and my 8 year old daughter has a laptop as well.  I also have an iPad and iPhone.  In the past, I have managed all devices with the same apple ID, and used my laptop as the main library, storing all music, apps, video, etc.  I then  just selectively copied things to the other authorized devices, so my daughter's laptop has a copy of her music under my apple ID.  Now she has her own iPod touch, so I would live to move her music and apps to her own iTunes library with a name I create for her on her laptop and iPod.
    Is this possible without having to repurchase all of her media?

    You can try these Apple directions

    Or buy a 3rd-party ipod manager such as CopyTrans.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • How will Time Machine react? Moving iPhoto Library from one HDD to another

    Hi,
    I had to move my iPhoto library from one external drive to another. The iPhoto library was backed up via time machine.
    Is there a way that I can "teach" Time Machine that the iPhoto-Backup from the old hard drive now belongs to the new drive???
    Greetings from Austria!
    EDIT:
    I haven't made a backup since moving the iphoto library. But now I wonder, maybe: Will time machine automatically recognize that the iphoto library just has been moved? And that it's not a "new" library?

  • How do I move a folder from one user to another

    I copied folders and files from a PC to my new Mac Pro (running Yosemite).  I am now trying to figure out how to move some some of the folders transferred in from my old PC from one user to another on the Mac.  I am a first time user of a Mac desktop so thanks of any help!

    Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, provide /Users/Shared/ as the path, drag them there, and then into the desired account's home folder.

  • How do I move imove content from one user to another on the same computer?

    We bought our Macbook pro about six months ago. We made the mistake of creating two users for it (my husband and myslef) but bow we only log in under my user name. The problem is we originally imported all of our video camera content to his "log in" and now it is in his imovie folder, and not mine. I want to make a movie on my log in with the fottage that we imported to his. So, how do I get video content from one users login on the SAME computer to the other log in users? I cannot seem to move it for the life of me. I did not expect this to be so difficult.

    Hi,
    You need to log into his account and look, under the Movies folder, for iMovie Events. Inside, you'll find folders with the events names and still further will be the movie itself. Copy each to an external media or use the Shared folder so both accounts can reference them.
    Another option would be to attach an external HD and via iMovie (Events Library pane) move them to the new disk. You would preserve the thumbnails and analysis already performed on the videos.
    Good luck!

  • Move iphoto program from one mac to another

    I would like to move iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2 from one mac with OS 10.6.8 to another mac with OS 10.5.8.  Can you tell me how to do this?  Thank you in advance.

    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

  • How can I transfer/copy my entire iPhoto library from one iMac to another iMac whilst keeping all the folders and subfolders intact?

    We recently purchased a new iMac for our office (8 GB memory, 2.7 processor, version 10.9.2) and we need to copy the iPhoto library from our other iMac (version 10.9.4) onto the new one. The photos are essential for our work and there are around 53,000 of them all organised into folders and subfolders and then the photos are manually ordered within the albums.
    We have tried connecting the computers but when we tried to access the iPhoto library on the new iMac it says that iPhoto is locked and we do not have permission to view it. We updated iPhoto on the old iMac as we thought that might be the problem but the message still appears. We've been advised to use an external hard drive but we're worried that will corrupt the organisation of the library. We have also been told not to do it over AirDrop / the Server because of the sheer quantity of photos.
    Any advice on how to safely do this would be much appreciated.

    No idea exactly what you did
    if you followed the instructions
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
    then you have exactly the same thin on your new system that you had on the old
    If you do something differently - like import the library instead of simply opening it - then it will not work
    did you dimply drag the iPhoto library from the pictures folder of the old machine to the pictures folder of the new machine and then launch iPhoto on the new machine?
    and to help it is important to use word correctly since that is the only communications method we have - in iPhoto folders do not contain photos - you view photos in events and you can organize them using albums (which view photos) and folders (which hold either albums or other folders - folders never have photos in them) so your description of the problem is not at all clear since it uses folders incorretly

  • How do I move iTunes library from one user account to another?

    I bought apps for a (now obsolete) Apple ID, however, I then created a new Apple ID, which I now use.  How do I delete the old Apple ID and is it possible to move my iTunes library and other files and folders from my current user account to a newly created user account?  Will this allow me to use only the new Apple ID instead of having to sign in/out bewteen 2 IDs which is frustrating.
