Can't transfer albums (w/ captions) from iPhoto 6.0.6 to 9.2

I've recently upgraded to a new computer (from mac os x 10.4.11 to 10.7.2) and am trying to transfer my photos, albums and captions/descriptions with each photo into my new iphoto 9.2, but after 2 tries, i get the same result, only the pictures (and thumbnails for some reason), and larger albums transfer and without any captions.  i really don't want to have to go through 5,000 photos and relabel them manually if I don't have to. any help is greatly appreciated!

then dragged it from the USB into the new iPhoto library.
And in doing that you imported one Library to another.
Never import one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
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 to transfer the photo captions from Photoshop Elements 12 organizer to Adobe Revel albums ?

    How to transfer the photo captions from Photoshop Elements 12 organizer to Adobe Revel albums ?

    Thks for the contribution. However, it seems I cannot solve my problem with the kindly proposed solution.
    Let me rephrase my problem:
    I off-line prepare, organize photos and also add manually individual photo captions with PE12 Organizer. In the properties panel, I can check that the photo properties (including captions) are properly associated with the photo.
    However when I upload on Revel -directly with PE12 Organizer (selecting Share/Private Web Album)- these individual (accordingly captioned) photos or albums, I cannot find the photo captions (i.e. the photo caption did not directly show up with the photo in Revel). This obliges me to a double work by copying  and pasting each photo caption.
    Is there any plan to get rid of that ?
    Let me add that I am using the French version of PE12

    How can I transfer albums from one of my accounts to another?  My new account (Apple ID) email address is no longer available to me since I lost my job.

    OK, now I have another problem.  I typed in my email address wrong.  Instead of optonline.net I typed in optimum.net.  Though I can google my email address and it defaults to the optonline.net the email to confirm the change is not showing up.  I know, real stupid.  Now I cannot log onto either address as the original is not changed and the email has not showed so am I done here?  I appreciate your help!!!  Carl

    Depends, where did these photos come from?
    If they were synced from another computer, then not easily. You will need a 3rd party App to do so.
    If these were photos taken with the iPad then you can.

  • HT1296 How can I transfer all my photos from my Ipad Mini to my new MacBook Pro

    How can I transfer all my photos from my Ipad Mini to my new MacBook Pro
    I am facing problem while I connect to my iPad mini with MacBook Pro , it only sync photo from its taken by and from it camera roll only. It doesn't sync all the images... Like my all albums. All photos in library....

    To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.
    You should also be able to copy albums that you've created directly on the iPad via apps such as Simple Transfer (though I haven't tried it)

  • Why can't I email photos direct from iPhoto?

    Why can't I email photos directly from iPhoto, or even attach them to email?

    I get a dotted frame outline with an exclamation
    This is the source of all the problems. iPhoto can't mail the files because it cannot find them.
    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    What version of iPhoto? Assuming it's 09 or later:
    Option 1
    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. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
    Regards

  • How do you transfer Albums & their contents from Elements 11 into a later edition Elements 13. Thanks

    How do you transfer Albums & their contents from Elements 11 into a later edition Elements 13. Thanks

    Albums are lists which are stored into catalogs. They don't contain the images, they just keep a pointer to where the pictures are stored in your computer and the order to display them.
    So your problem is with catalogs, not with albums.
    If you have missed the message to convert the old current catalog at installation time, that's not a problem. You can use the menu File in the organizer, select 'Manage catalogs' which will show a 'convert' button. That is also necessary if you have more than one catalog.
    The catalog is not a single file, it's a folder containing the main database, catalog.pse13b as well as other files and subfolders. The location of your current catalog can be found with the menu Help/System Info of the organizer. If you want to use another catalog, the organizer will search for other catalogs and provide a list to choose from.

    How can I transfer a sound file from my "Voice Memos" app on my iPhone to my iPad?

    In iTunes with your iPhone connected, click on the iPhone device, select the Apps tab, scroll down to the File Sharing section and pick an app that plays Quicktimes ("Files Connect" works in this example, but I'm open to suggestions of better apps for playing transferred Quicktimes) and drag your Quicktime from Finder to the Documents pane for the File Sharing app.   Once the file transfer is complete, go to the app on your iPhone to play the Quicktime.

  • TS2776 How can I transfer e-mail contacts from one IPad to another?

    How can I transfer e-mail contacts from one IPad to another?

    Depends on how big the file is.  If itis only a couple of pages, or mostly text, the easiest way would be to e mail it.  If it is a very large file you are going to need wifi.  Take both pads to starbucks, and e mail it from there.  Or if you have wifi, use drop box, for example. 
    Your other choice, avoiding wifi would be a bluetooth type transfer.  There is an app call bluetooth file lite that reads like it will do what you need.   The good news is it is free.  The bad news is that it has terrible ratings.  For grins, i am installing it now on a pad and a phone, and will see if it works.
    With a bluetooth method, you need both devices in  the same place.  If you are trying to send your file across country, bluetooth will not work for you.  you need e mail or drop box type solution, and if the file is big, you will almost certainly need wifi.

    Don't agree. I have two accounts, one for work which I set up years ago and bought a few tracks. I've recently bought iPhone and iPad and created a home ID and wanted to transfer the old purchaces. Everyone says it can't be done, but I've done it.
    1. on the iPhone/iPad change your "store" Apple ID to the one you want ot transfer from.
    2. go into iTune on the device and download the purchaces.
    3. on you PC/Mac change the iTunes login to the same as the device's ID
    4. sync your device
    5. change both ID's back and the purchaces stay on both iTunes and your device.
    Delmar,
    The procedure you describe is putting content from two different IDs into a single library, which can readily be done.
    However, each item of purchased content will still be tied to the ID from which it was originally purchased, and they will be treated separately for purposes of Cloud, Match, Purchase History, etc.
