Simple enough. Connect the two machines together, then copy the iPhoto Library Folder from Home/Pictures to the same location on the new machine.
You may have file permission issues, especially if you have a different User Name on the new machine, so Download BatchMod from

And apply it to the iPhoto Library Folder using the settings found here:

Whats the best way to transfer all my pic and vid files from Mac Air to back up drive to free up space on hard disk?

Get a third drive if needed, open the Time Machine pane of System Preferences, set it not to exclude that drive, and drag the files to it. If you're moving an iTunes or iPhoto library, launch the application with the Option key held down and choose the moved library.

Hi, can anyone tell me the best way to transfer my everything including itunes a/c to a brand new mac, thanks

Hello i recently transfered to a new mac and i have it perfectly figured out so first off dont use migration assestant if you don't want to get your old computer exactly on your new computer. In my opinion starting on a fresh computer is best, BUT you still want your files so i have a video you can watch if my instructions don't make sense.
1. Go to finder and find your music folder
2. click the folder labled itunes
3. click itunes music or find the folder with all the folders in it that have names of artist or albums
4. then select all those folders with the artis or album names with commant A this will select all those folders
5. then drag these to and external hard drive or connect to your old mac from your new mac wirelessly to find these folder
6. if you did wireless sharing option just drag all those folders to the itunes icon if you used an external harddrive find the folders on there and do the same.
7. any questions please reply watching video will help.

Best way to transfer video between iphone and mac wirelessly?

Please suggest me the best way to transfer files between mac and iphone wirelessly.Mainly for videos.

If you want to transfer photos and videos from the Mac to the iPhone (but not in the other direction) you can use iTunes and sync via wi-fi: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
If you want to wirelessly tranfer videos in the other direction you may want to look into a 3rd party app such as http://www.photosync-app.com Note that I have not used that app so be sure to investigate others as well.

Best way to transfer DVD videos from laptop to ipad air

presuming they're not copywriteed commercial dvd's, you can use a program like Handbrake to convert the dvd files to mp4's that you can then import into iTunes and sync to your device.
If they're copywritted commercial dvd's then you'd have to break the copywrite encoding to transcode the files and since that is illegal in the US no one here can help you with that.

What is the best way to transfer data from a PC to an iMac?

If you know how to set up a computer-to-computer Ethernet network, then you can give that a try, but a hard drive will be faster than Ethernet unless you don't have a lot to transfer.

Best way to transfer disk contents from dead Cube (G4) to new iMac (Intel)

Forgive me if this has been covered before - my search didn't find anything on this particular problem.
My (upgraded, but ancient) Cube finally bit the dust during a power surge/outage at the house. Actually, it was just the power brick that died, but I have ordered a new iMac to replace the Cube. My question is on the best way to transfer the data and info from my old hard drive to the new iMac when it arrives. I am thinking of buying a Firewire or USB enclosure for the Cube's disk (Western Digital 120 GB) and using it as an external drive at the new iMac. Since the Cube is effectively dead, I don't think I can use Migration Assistant, can I? And should this transfer be the first thing I do on the new iMac? I know that many of my apps won't run natively on the Intel iMac, but some will under emulation, so I want to save many of them (Cube was still a G4 PPC). I also want to be able to transfer my iTunes and iPhoto libraries, all my Office files, and other data without having to individually copy them all. Can someone suggest the best course of action?
Thanks in advance,
Joe Crabtree

Hi Joe Crabtree;
Please remember that you are changing from PowerPC to Intel architecture so you will want to install all application on the new iMac and only migrate data files. Migrating applications from PowerPC to Intel is a known way to create problems with your new iMac.

Best way to transfer data to new internal hard drive

Hi,
I just got a new internal hard drive for my macbook and I'm trying to figure out the best way to transfer all the data from my old hd to the new one. Basically, I would just like to make an exact copy of my old hd and put it on the new larger one. Thanks for the help.

Will I simply be able to do a firewire transfer on the new internal HD is installed
Yes. Use Carbon Copy Cloner with the sopurce and destination volumes reversed after installing the new drive.
Additionally do I need a bootable copy of OSX on my external HD to do the transfer?
Yes; the clone can act as this copy. If you copy everything with Carbon Copy Cloner, you will be told whether the drive will be bootable or not prior to the clone.

Best way to transfer a 10g database from HP9000 to Linux Redhat?

What is the best way to transfer a 10g databasse from HP9000 to Linux Redhat?

Hi Bill,
What is the best way to transfer a 10g databasse from HP9000 to Linux Redhat?Define "best"? There are many choices, each with their own benefits . . .
Fastest?
If you are on an SMP server, parallel CTAS over a databaee link can move large amnunts of tables, fast:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_create_table_select_ctas.htm
I've done 100 gig per hours . . .
Easiest?
If you are a beginner, data pump is good, and I have siome tips on doing it quickly:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/oracle_tips_load_speed.htm
Also,, make sure to check the Linux kernel settings. I query http://www.tpc.org and search for the server type . . .
The full disclosure reports show optimal kernel settings.
Finally, don't forget to set direct I/O in Linux:

I have a large kodak easyshare library, what is the best way to transfer them into iPhoto ?

I have about 5k pictures in the kodak easyshare software system on a dell laptop - what is the best way to transfer or import them into iPhoto on my iMac ? any help will be greatly appreciated...

Simply, export the data from this esy share system to standard formats like jpeg, making sure to preserve all metadata on the way. How to do that? YOu'll need to post on a Kodak forum I'm afraid.
Then copy the files to the Mac and import them.

Which is the best way to transfer the file through the LAN

I need to transfer files of Size in MB from one PC to another. I have done it by File Copy function with the file path "\\Receiver\C:\File.txt". but it takes 1 Sec approximately for the 10KB of file size. I also need to monitor the file transfer progress. Please suggest the best way to transfer file faster.

Thanks for the Valuable feedback.
Actually the File format I have to tranfer is *.vlf (these file are taken for printing) which is of few MB of size I didnt try to transfer this format file. For the testing purpose I have tried with text files.
Please tell me how to address the destination path (administrative
share of C$ ). I dont know about UNC path.
In my Code:
After transferring files to the destination path (path - which is always accessed by the Printer). I have to send command to the PLC that triggers the printer then printer take these files. After these cycle complete, I replace the files with the File Copy Function then again printer is triggered by the PLC - command. If the PLC command sent after the file transfer sequence, the PLC will immediately triggers the printer to print the file. I have nearly 500ms of time to transfer two of these files.
All i want to know is File Copy function completes its job after transfer or it just commands to do so. I should not give the command to plc while file tranfer in progress.
Also please tell me is it possible to monitor the file being transfered ?
Thanks & Regards

What is the best way to transfer my iphoto library from old imac to new imac. both have iphoto 9.2.1

What is the best way to transfer my iphoto library from current imac to my new imac. Both imacs have iphoto 9.2.1
os on old imac is 10.6.8. os on new imac is 10.7.2. I want the albums and events to stay intact. I have 4500 photos and 79 videos. 14.9 gb. looking for some advice here. Thanks so much.

Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.
