Moving iphoto albums from one computer to another

When I travel, I take my MacBook Air with me to store and edit my photos in iPhoto 8.
When I return home, I'd like to put the completed Albums on my desktop computer (Intel iMac).
I don't just want to just import the photos via a CD, I want the titles and comments and I want to keep the order that is set in the albums.
Is it possible to do this between two versions of iPhoto 08?
How about iPhoto 08 and iPhoto 06, which is what I have now?

  • I bought a new laptop and used Windows Easy Transfer cable and moved all files from one computer to another. I installed iTunes and found my iTunes music Library.  However, when I plug in my iPod it says it is already synced with another iTunes Library.

    I bought a new laptop and used Windows Easy Transfer cable and moved all files from one computer to another. I installed iTunes and found my iTunes music Library.  However, when I plug in my iPod it says it is already synced with another iTunes Library. 
    I don't see anything in Help that shows when you already have transfered all the files over.  Why would it want to erase and sync when I already have all the music folder copied over?  I didn't have an issue when I had another technician copy from one laptop to another.  Home sharing is also on but not being recognized.

    I suspect you only migrated the media folder instead of the complete working library. Either review the transfer process and copy over the entire iTunes folder from your old profile's music folder or see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • Moving iWeb data from one computer to another

    I have an iWeb site on my old mac lap top. I can not get the data to transfer to the new laptop. How do I move all iweb entries from one computer to another?

    I would say that if you created pages in iWeb, your ability to do this originated from a basic Domain file, and it is there, in your computer, somewhere. I have seen cases where it appeared as though work that was published to a folder and not 'saved' in the application didn't make it into the Domain file, but I haven't been able to replicate this situation.
    Spotlight "Domain", and see what comes up. Also, make sure you are looking in your Home Folder location, not your main HD library.

  • Moving Movie Rentals from one computer to another

    Is there a way to transfer an iTunes movie rental from one computer to another. I purchased it on one laptop but wish to play the movie on another laptop. It does not show up in the list on the other computer even though it is a shared laptop

    Sorry, but transferring a rental from one computer to another is not possible, at least not directly. It might be possible by transferring the rental to an iPod/iPhone and then transferring back to the second computer, though I don't know for sure.

  • When moving my iphone from one computer to another, the apps do not follow and if I purchase an app on the new computer, it seems that all previous apps on the iphone will be lost   How do I import the previous apps to the new computer?

    When moving my iphone from one itunes computer to another, the apps installed on the original computer do not show on the new one.  How do I get those apps to be recognized on the new computer without deleting them all from my iphone as it asks. 

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • 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?

    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.

  • HT203167 Moved iTunes library from one computer to another using external hard drive.  Cannot play many files.  Says they are missing but locates them in an archive file but still won't play them.  Are the files themselves part of the .itl files?

    Moved iTunes library from old computer (PC Windows 7) to new (PC Window 8) using external hard drive.  Library listing shows all music but can only play a fraction of it.  On the ones it cannot play it asks to locate, then refers to an archived version (an .itl file), and still cannot play them.  Do I just need to copy the archived .itl over, or is that not where the actual media are (do the actual media files even exist on the new computer?)?  Any advice or information on this would be helpful.

    *Also...is there any way I can filter out all the tracks with the ! so I can delete the unplaying copies as they're taking up room in my iTunes? I know how to find duplicates, but then I have to go and delete each one individually...*
    *Thank you!*

  • Moving music library from one computer to another

    I need to rephrase my question: Is there a way to transfer my itunes library from one computer (that is being discarded) to my new computer that already has an itunes library on it? we have a new computer that my son put his library on, but we want to combine our libraries and use just the one computer to sync our music on each of our ipods. Thanks.

    You can copy the music directly from the iPods. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    TuneJack Windows Only
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod

  • Moving iphone sync from one computer to another

    Hi everyone,
    I am about to switch from one laptop to another & would like to start syncing my iphone 4 on the new laptop. How do I do the transfer? I tried once and the iphone will sync any apps from the laptop to the iphone (none at the moment so it would erase all apps on the iphone) but not the other way round. Once again, I dont want to sync to both laptops, I just want to switch from one laptop to another one. For example, what happens if your laptop stops working, you cant sync/backup your iphone to another/new laptop?
    Thanks

    I have re-authorised my computer, but not synced yet.
    All Mozy did was to copy everything under C:\Users\Mark Moss\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music, to a backup folder of the same name on mozy.com. So when I restored my hard drive's data, the iTunes was put back.
    Under C:\Users\Mark Moss\Music\iTunes\Mobile Applications on my (repaired) laptop, I now don't have any mobile apps listed (I guess I'd forgotten to back those up but in any case they're on my iPhone) so I'm concerned that if I replace my iPhone, I'll lose the apps, which I want to avoid.

  • What FILE do I need again? (moving WEB SITE from one COMPUTER to another)

    Can someone tell me what file I need?
    I can't remember and what to do. It's my understanding that all you have to do is move the file to the same location on the new computer and it should open in the new location, correct?
    You would think that iWeb would upload this to the web for easy access and ability to edit from any computer.
    Thanks.
    PS. Does anyone think iWEB will mature to a level somewhat more experienced, ala dream weaver, at least some more in-depth tools? I would love to see Apple develop iWeb more as well as a flash type of program as only Apple could create a program that is very complicated (FLASH) and make it somewhat easy. There are others out there for the PC, but none for the mac. I also think if Apple released a deep yet easy to learn flash tool that they would make some deep in-roads to developers. For the PC users, check out SWISH, and at one time, Adobe had a pretty good program too, can't remember what it was called, but they stopped developing that years ago.

    You need ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2, where ~ is the item in the Finder's sidebar with the house icon. It's a package, not a file.

  • Moving Mail files from One Computer to Another

    I had to swap out my wife's laptop while her primary machine was in the shop. Now that the primary is fixed, I need to move all her files back to it. But I am having a heckuva time.
    Using Mail's "Import Mailboxes" function, the relevant Mail folders (in the Users/Library folder of the secondary computer) display the red "minus" sign, which means the primary computer doesn't have permission to use them.
    However, when I go to the secondary, open Get Info on those folders and give "Everyone" Read & Write access... it does not solve the problem.
    What gives?
    Same sort of thing happens when I just try to drag the folders over.
    Primary computer is an iBook G4 running OSX 10.5. Secondary computer (from which I am trying to get the files) is an iBook G3 running 10.4

    Man, what a hassle.
    First... the account on each computer has the same username AND short name. Yet, when "Read & Write" is entered in the Get Info box for all of the involved folders, I still can't access them from the G4.
    One thing I tried was to duplicate the Mail Folder and the plist to a separate partition on the hard drive... figuring I could just move them over. At first this did not work because I still was denied access.
    THEN, I connected (via share) to the G3 with a different account name (mine, not my wife's). Note that I was still logged in to the G4 with her name... but when I clicked on the "connect" button to access, the G3, I logged in with my name.
    Suddenly, all those duped folders on the partition were accessible. So I duped them over to the G4 in the appropriate places.
    At first I got a message saying Mail could not start because it keeps info on where it stores things in the MAIL folder, but that folder was inaccessible to me. It told me to change the permissions in Get Info. This I did, and then everything appeared as it should.
    So... I got it done.... but I still want to know why Wife Account on one computer could not access things in the identical Wife Account on the other computer.

  • Transfer album from one computer to another

    I have PSE 12 (same license) installed on two computers. Each computer has its own file system and PSE catalog. Question: How to I transfer a album (with photo  files) from computer  A to computer B?.

    dj_paige wrote:
    As I said, there's no EASY way to do this.
    Yes,
    and the main difficulty here is that people may have different ideas of what an album and a catalog are really.
    - You may understand a catalog and an album as the information about those picture files as stored in the catalog database, or also the picture files themselves, with possibly their folder organization...
    - Or, you may understand an album to be just how it is defined in the organizer : a list of pictures in a given catalog, with a specific sort order (called a collection in older versions or Lightroom). Any additional information being stored in the rest of the catalog.
    Just to illustrate Dj_paige suggestion to backup and restore: since you can't dissociate the strict 'album' definition above with the info in the containing catalog, the only thing you can do to keep the other catalog properties, and the files themselves, and their folder structure, there no other way than backing up, restoring elsewhere... and if you want, deleting all other files not included in the album. The result is a 'sub-catalog' working on a 'sub' folder tree copy.
    The problem would be different if you simply wanted a sub-catalog pointing to the same physical media files. Instead of a full backup, you would simply duplicate the catalog and delete all files outside the album from the catalog...

  • Moving iTunes library from one computer to another

    I am new to this list, but hope someone can help.
    I had purchased quite a few songs from iTunes store and also had copied some from disks.
    I saved my whole iTunes Music folder onto a portable hard drive.
    I changed computers, so I deauthorized the 5 accounts I had and authorized just my one currently used computer. I thought I downloaded all the music from the portable HD to the library, but apparently not...
    Now, each time I try to play something in my library, it tells me it cannot locate the file. If I browse to the connected portable HD, I can find it and play it, but it seems that nothing transferred when I thought I moved the music to my iTunes account. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks, Gremblay

    Take a look on this article: http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive
    My guess is that you just moved your iTunes folder to your new computer, and didn't consolidate the library (wich may have caused you this trouble). Maybe you should transfer your library again. Just make sure the original files are on your portable HD and don't erase them accidenatally)

  • Transfer iPhoto library from one computer to another

    I have many photos in my PowerBook G4 library. They are arranged in many folders. I have recently acquired another Mac using the same OS X 3.9. I have not been succesful in tgransfering my iPhoto library to the new computer. I did copy the entire library to an external drive and then copied it into the Pictures folder of the new computer. When I start iPhoto the new computer does not recognize the library.
    Could somebody please tell me if there is a way around this?
    Thanks,
    Pierre

    Hello EWW:
    Before telling you more about my problem, allow me to make three comments:
    1) I have never been a member of a discussion forum and am amazed that somebody (you) took an interest in my problem. Thanks a lot!
    2) I have been a PC person all my life. The reason I now have 2 Macs is that I inherired them when my son was killed in an airplane accident a short while ago. Although I have learned a lot about the Macs I will need a lot of TLC to get up to speed.
    3) I use the notebook primarily for internet access and I intend to use the desk top unit for photography. I just acquired a copy of Photoshop CS2 for it.
    Here is the background you requested about:
    1) Both computers run iPhoto 2.0.1. {Is it worthwhile upgrading?}
    2) On the laptop the file “Pictures” contains a single file which is called “iPhoto Library”. {Can I have several library files? How do I do that?}
    3) I copied the iPhoto Library file to an external hard drive and then transferred it to the new computer.
    4) The new computer also had an iPhoto Library file in the Pictures folder. I deleted this file and replaced it with the newly transferred file.
    5) When I double-click on the iPhoto icon (in the dock) it tells me that the “Photo library”, the “Last Import” and the “Trash” are all empty.
    6) When I open the iPhoto Library using Finder>>Pictures>iPhoto Library I find that my pictures are there, but there are no Albums.
    Question: Is there a way that I can connect the two computers directly and use Import?
    Thanks for your help
    Pierre
