Transferring Photos from MacBook Pro to my Tower

Need a little assistance with this. I would like to transfer the iPhoto library from my laptop to my tower. Is this a simple process? How would I go about doing this?
Thank you for your help in advance.

Will that replace the photo's I have on my tower?
The photo library can be put anywhere you can write to, but if you want to merge the libraries, you either need to use iPhoto Library Manager or export one of the libraries inside iPhoto and import it to the other, which won't transfer any metadata found in the library being moved.

  • Transferring photos from MacBook Pro to a SD Card

    Hello, New chap on the block and a complete ignoramus!
    I have just moved from a windows 7 based laptop to Macbook Pro with OSxLion.
    I am slowly learning, howevr I have two problems that I cannot seem to resolve.
    1: I put my 2gb brand new SD Card in the slot and up it comes as a crd icon with the label No Name.
    I try and transfer photos from my MacBook to the card so that I may take them to the shop and put the card in thier machine and print them off.
    No Joy! I cannot drag or paste anything to the card!
    I have been to disc utilities to format to what I do not know but anyway  the only thing I can do is verify, everything else is grayed out.
    Please can anyone advise?
    2: I did manage to transfer  some of my photos to a USB stick, but when I went to the shop and put said USB into the machine the stick was not recognized!
    So, there are my two questions, any advice would be gratefully received. Thank you for reading this.  Mike T

    Is the Lock slider on your SD card in the locked position?
    Is your flash drive formatted FAT32 or NTFS? It probably has to be to work in the store's reader.

  • Transferring Photos from MacBook Pro to iMac G5

    I have been importing all my photos from my digital SLR to my Macbook Pro. But... now I am out of HD space. I want to transfer all my pics to my iMac G5 with much more HD space. What is the most effective way to do this? If I burn all the pictures to DVD, then import them to my desktop, will it import the original and edited versions of the photo?
    Next... should I transfer the photos before or after I upgrade to iLife '08???
    Any advice is appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I assume you've been using iPhoto?
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library Folder from your Pictures Folder to the same location on the iMac. Then, to prevent any file permission issues, Download BatchMod from
    http://macchampion.com/arbysoft/
    And apply it to the iPhoto Library Folder using the settings found here:

    And, yes, do it before upgrading. One less variable to deal with.

  • Having a hard time transferring photos from MacBook Pro once they have been cropped or colored enhanced to my iPhone or iPad. If they have not been manipulated then they transfer fine. How can I fix this?

    I've been cropping and editing pics in my MacBook Pro but once I try to transfer them to the iPhone or iPad 2 only the photos that have not been manipulated transfer with no problems. How do I solve this problem?

    Option 1:
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for the iPod Photo Cache.
    Trash it. Start iPhoto and try sync again.
    If that fails:
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Use the option to check and repair library permissions

  • How to sync photos from MacBook Pro to iPad 3?

    How to sync photos from MacBook Pro to iPad 3 without it automatically deleting previously synced photos, or replacing them with new ones?

    How can I create albums in the Photos app on the iPad
    Photos that were taken with the iPad (or any photos in the camera roll) can be deleted right on the iPad. Tap the trash can icon in the top right corner if you are viewing the pho,to in full screen, or if you are viewing as thumbnails - tap the arrow in the upper right corner - tap the photos that you want to delete and then tap - Delete.
    Photos that were synced from your computer using iTunes can only be deleted by de-selecting them from the folder from where they were synced -  and then re-syncing.

    I am noticing that my brand new iPhone 6 did not load pics from the cloud so want to transfer photos manually from macbook pro onto the new iPhone 6 plus could you direct me how to.thanks Gerald

    Are your photos housed in the iPhoto app on the Mac? If so, then hook up your device, click on the Photos tab in the Device Profile Screens to the right, select what photos you want sync'd, and then sync your device to iTunes.

  • Time machine back up and deleting photos from macbook pro

    I have a macbook pro. I need to free some space on my hard drive. As I am a keen photographer I decided it was best to have at lest to back up in the event than one fails. I keep one off site at a friends. This way if the unthinkble happens.. fire, flood theft etc I do not lose all my images. To do this I require 2 hard drives. Having purchased the second I thought it would make sense to actually do a Time Machine back up as previous back ups were only of photos.
    A few seaches of different forums appeared to say that you cannot delete photos from your Mac as this will be just Mirrored on your next Timemachine back up. This makes sense as it is copying the Mac so anything not on there will not be on the Time Machine back up.
    SOLUTION : On your hard drive of the time machine back up create an addition folder or folders and using finder drag and drop from your macbook. This way it will not effect your Time Machine. You can replicate with the other hard drive. Having backed up away from the Time Machine will mean the photos do not get deleted by Time Machine after you have removed them from your Mac.
    I hope this makes sense! It is the first time I have posted :-)
    I would like to know if others have other solutions or use this method. I should say that the hard drive I use for the Time Machine if Mac formatted. It is a 2 TB WD My Book Studio. I purchased from the Apple store. It is not an apple product but is mac of the sleek aluminum and goes well with it. Having said that I keep it at a mates house!

    There are several concepts that may help you create a defense-in-depth approach to securing your valuable data.
    - Your data is much more valuable than external disk drives.  Do not hesitate to purchase the size and number of external drives you need for great (not just good) backup practices.
    - Always maintain at least two copies of any data.  This means never place live (offloaded) files on a backup volume, even in a separate partition.  If the drive fails the backup and the live files will go poof together. 
    - Do not rely on retrieving live files from a Time Machine backup.  Time Machine is for restoring files that were deleted or altered by mistake or for a full restore.  It is not for offloading live files.
    - Place the offloaded live files on a separate disk drive.  Then you will need to backup that live volume or if that offload volume fails then poof again.
    - You already some of this base covered.  Maintaing two copies (one backup) is good practice.  Maintaining more than two copies (two or more backups) is a better practice.  Maintaining multiple copies in multiple backup formats is a great practice.  Time Machine is great for restoring accidentally deleted or altered data but it is a complex system that is more prone to failure than simpler schemes such as cloning.  I recommend maintaining both Time Machine and cloned backups of the internal drive and cloned backups of offload drive.
    Backing up the offload disk is where partitioning the backup drive can be handy.  Create one partition for your Time Machine backup and another partition for your external drive backup.  Backup your internal drive with Time Machine and backup the offloaded files using cloning software such as Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper!
    You could tell Time Machine to backup both your internal and external live files but then it gets tricky to do a full restore so I recommend using cloning software for backing up the external drive.
    When you purchase another external drive, make it a sufficiently large one so you can divide it into multiple large partitions.
    A good backup/offload map (two partitions per backup drive):
    - Internal drive —> Time Machine backup partition A on the backup drives.
    - External offload drive —> Clone backup partition B on the backup drives.
    - Backup drives 1 and  2 (one onsite and one offsite), each with partitions A and B.
    A great backup scheme includes three partitions on the large backup drives so you can backup the the internal drive with both Time Machine and CCC/SD:
    - Internal drive —> Time Machine backup partition A on the backup drives.
    - External offload drive —> Clone backup partition B on the backup drives.
    - Internal drive —> Clone backup to partition C on the backup drives.
    - Backup drives 1 and  2 (one onsite and one offsite), each with partitions A, B and C.
    A great feature of having a clone of your internal drive is if the internal drive crashes you can boot off of the backup disk while you replace the internal drive.  As mentioned above it also avoids Time Machine backup/restore problems.  I have had Time Machine full restores fail so I do not trust them as my only backup method but I find them very handy for restoring individual files.
    Create partitions sufficiently large enough for each backup source.  Time Machine should be about 50% or more larger than the volume it is backing up to leave room for the older incremental backups.  The cloned backup partitions need only be as large as the volumes they are backing up, or larger if you include incremental backups in your cloning scheme.  This means you may need 2 or 3 TB backup drives.  (4 TB drives are not yet reliable so avoid them.)

  • Transferring Music from Macbook pro to iphone

    So I just bought my new macbook pro and I have already transferred all my music from my iphone onto the computer itself. However, throughout the day I have been dowloading music from the internet using a youtube converter site. They dowloaded onto the computer and are in my library. However, I have been trying all day to now transfer those new songs onto my iphone. Everytime I try to drag it onto the iphone it just doesnt do anything. Can anyone tell me why???

  • Problems transferring data from MacBook Pro to MacBook Pro

    I just bought a new MacBook Pro and I am having problems transferring data from my old MacBook Pro. I am using an Apple Thunderbolt to FW adapter to hook both computers and I am using the Migration Assistant. Everything looked ok until the "Transferring Your Information" screen got stuck. It says that it is "Transferring your Application folder..." And it has been stuck for at least the last two hours giving a message that says "About 3 minutes remaining..." This is starting to get ridiculously annoying. Options?

    I guess I am finding my own way as time progresses and frustration increases but these are two things that I have found so far:
    1. Transfering from one machine to another does not seem to be the most efficient way to do this so using the TimeMachine backup must be the way to go...
    HOWEVER
    2. In this process I also found another "complication" called: Legacy FaultVault - My computer is encripted and I used this now so called "Legacy FaultVault" app to do it (when it was no a Legacy!). The thing is that you can not transfer documents from your TimeMachine backup to your new Mac if the Legacy Fault Valut is active on your old machine so you first need to desactivate the encription. HOWEVER, this brought another issue...when I tried to desactivate the encription using the Legacy FaultVault screen I got a message saying that I did not have enough disk space to allow me to do that....Isn't that great??? This is a problem by itself and it seems to have some sort of solution I was reading about (not straight forward at all). What I am trying to do now is to copy the folder that contains my files and just paste them on my new machine to see if that works....it looks like my apps are on my new machine, unsure if they are working...need to test this next....
    I guess the transfer machine to machine could have sorted out the conflict eventually...after tens of hours or maybe not! Who knows....
    A very frustrated Apple fan...
    I love Apple products but this is an ISSUE...I feel like there is lack of adecuate documentation around to deal with this or the data transfering apps should be able to deal with this on a more efficient way....just saying...

  • How do i move photos from macbook pro to a freeagent drive?

    I am trying to move photos from my Macbook Pro to an external FreeAgent hard drive, but it will not allow me to "drop and drag" or copy and paste to that drive. Any suggestions as to why, or how I can get these photos onto the external drive?

    Are you able to move other file types, such as documents, to your external hard disk using your Mac?
    If not, the hard disk may be formatted in a file system format known as "NTFS" which is used by Windows, which can not be written to by default using Mac OS X.
    To resolve this issue, you can format the hard disk as either "FAT" (which will maintain compatibility with other operating systems such as Windows) or "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" (if you are only using this hard disk using your Mac).
    NOTE: Erasing and reformatting your external hard disk will remove any data that is currently stored on it. Ensure that you make a back up of any important data before proceeding.
    To reformat the hard disk, open the Finder and from the menu bar choose "Go" and then click on "Utilities". Double click on Disk Utility to open it. Select your external hard disk from the list on the left hand side of the Disk Utility window, then click on the "Erase" tab on the right hand side of the window. Choose the appropriate file system format and give the volume a name (such as "Storage HD"). Then click on the Erase button.
    Once Disk Utility has completed formatting your external hard disk, you should be able to copy your data to it.
    Hope that helps, have a great day.
