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 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.

  • Move a site from one Mac to another without losing sites already there

    I would like to move a site from one Mac to another without losing the websites that I have already built on the other Mac. Transfering the Domain file is not helping. Is there away to open the new domain file and adding those sites to the domain file associated with this copy of iWeb? I have searched the discussions but am not seeing any clear answers. They all seam to invilve new users or losing the sites already on that mac.

    I seem to have solved my own problem. This may help other users. I found a tip and a web page that suggested moving the Domain File from the application support folder to another on the desktop on one of the computers and then putting the 2nd Domain File from the other computer in a separate folder on the desktop. This is because you can not change the name of the Domain File . Then by double clicking the Domain File with the site wanted, iWeb opens with that set of sites.
    I started with what was to be the new master Domain File and stated a new site with a blank page. saved, did not publish and closed iWeb. Opened from the other Domain File and then clicked and opened the site and page I wanted, then selected all, copied all and closed iweb. Went back to the master Domain File , opened iWeb using that, went to the blank page and pasted in the page from the other Domain File from the other computer. Saved, closed iWeb and repeated till I had all pages. Changed the names to match the sites and Pages. I did not allow iWeb to publish during this process. Took all of 10 minutes and I now have a Domain File with all the sites in one place. I then copied this file back into its original location in Library/application support/iWeb on both computers. I now have all sites in iWeb on both computers.

  • How do I transfers iphoto pictures from one Mac to another?

    How do I transfers iphoto pictures from one Mac to another?

    Just snaps?
    Export from one and import to the other
    Snaps and all the versions and edit history?
    Network the two machines together and use iPhoto Library Manager
    Something else? You'll need to explain in more detail.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • How can I copy an iPhoto book from one Mac to another?

    I'm wanting to copy an iPhoto book from one MBP (OS 10.7.3) to another (10.8.3). Is there an easy way to do it?

    You will have to copy the entire iPhoto Library to the other Mac as the library is a virtual entity in the library recorece in the database files.
    Once it's been copied launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and select the libary in the window that appears.  I
    NOTE:  if the new Mac has  newer iPhoto version than the old Mac check to make sure it has the same theme that you used in the book.  There were some changes in themes from iPhoto 8 (09) to iPhoto 9 (11).  If your new iPhoto doesn't have the same theme you may want to complete the book on the old Mac.

  • 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:
    Click to view full size
    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 do you move apple configurator from one mac to another mac?

    I want to move the configuraton of apple configurator to a new computer. How?

    Thanks for the reply.

    I guess you mean whether I would be able to add one of the iPads to the new AC Mac by putting it in Restore mode and supervising it from that Mac? That will probably work. My problem is, that I've done that with the whole batch (60+ as I said earlier) when moving to a dedicated account within my own PowerBook some time ago. That takes an awfull lot of time, because it involves doing manual tweaking per iPad and adding the purchased apps again (in the Netherlands we don't have VPP so that is a manual process).
    I would really rather have the settings transfered and continue working on the Mac Mini than starting all over again.

  • How to move programs from one mac to another

    Hi guys, I was wondering if I can move all my programs on my iMac (adobe cs5, aperture, final cut studio, etc) to a macbook pro using time machine or migration assistant. I bought my iMac used and do not have have the serial numbers for adobe cs5 and final cut pro. Any thoughts/suggestions would be appriecated.
    Thanks

    Yes, you can do that. However, some commercial programs know they have been moved to a different machine and will require that you re-enter the license key. It may be better to try cloning one machine to the other.
    Just connect them by Firewire cable. Boot the computer you want to copy TO into Target Disk Mode. Boot the one you will copy FROM normally. The computer in TDM will show up on the Desktop as just another hard drive.
    Now use Disk Utility to clone them:
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
      1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
      2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
      3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
           it to the Destination entry field.
      5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
          the Source entry field.
      6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the TO computer. Source means the FROM computer.

  • How do I copy & transfer iPhoto library from one mac to another?

    I have a Power mac G5 and want to transfer a complete copy of my iPhoto 6 library (with all the specific albums) from my Power mac G5 to a new mac mini. I have an external drive. Is there a way to do this operation direct, between computers, or do I go through the external drive? Which do you recommend and how do I do this?
    After the copy transfer is completed, in the future, when I add new photos to my iPhoto library on my G5 and I want to transfer a copy of the new photos to the mac mini, do I follow the same process you outline above? Will the future copy transfer require I delete the library on the mac mini, and make a new complete copy transfer, or will a future transfer only pick-up the new photos?
    Thanks,
    HDP

    1 - connect the two machines together (a network or firewire target mode) quit iPhoto and drag the iuPhoto library from the old to th enew machine
    2 - alternatively you can connect the EHD to the old machine, drag the iPhoto library to it, move it to the new machine and drag the iPhoto library to the picturews folde on it
    3 - there is no way to sync the libraries - if the two are on a network you could use iPhoto library manager (only if both use the same version of iPhoto ) or use image capture to move the photo to the desktop from the camera and tehn impor tthem into both - but you can not automatically sync them you have to load the photos twice or use IPLM to do it

  • Move unfinished imovie from one mac to another?

    i have an unfinished imovie on a friends mac. can i save the unfinished imovie on a usb drive, then open it on another mac (exactly the same version as the current one) and continue editing/adding to my imovie?

    I would revise Bengt's remarks just a little bit.
    A USB External Hard Drive is fine for both editing and moving. However, the drive must be formatted is MAC OS Extened (journaled) as Bengt says.
    Then in iMovie, click VIEW/EVENTS BY VOLUME.
    Hold down the Command Key while dragging the small icon in the iMovie Event Library List to the small icon for your external USB drive in the same iMovie Event Library List. Then do the same command-drag with your project in the Project Library List. Finally, point to the project in the Project library List, and click File/Consolidate to make sure that all project assets (photos, music, etc.) are on the external disk.
    When you get to the new Mac, plug in the USB drive, and imovie should recognize your projects and events and you can continue editing from the external drive.
    If you prefer, you can command drag the projects and events to the internal drive in the new mac as before.
