Copy folder in iPhoto on one mac to another mac

I've read a lot of posts but they all seem too complicated for me to understand. I want to move (from my iMac) a folder in iPhoto with about 1500 photos in it, to my daughters macbook. I DON'T want to move the entire iPhoto library. The iMac uses iPhoto 5 and the macbook is iPhoto 7 or 8, not sure as it's in my daughters dorm room at college.
Can someone tell me what the easiest way is to do this? Thank you!

Frank
You can make an album of the pics and export them to a folder on the desktop, then burn that folder to CD or DVD from the finder.
This will move the pics. Unfortunately, there's no way her iPhoto can read yours.

Can I copy and past iPhoto from one computer to another?

I just bought a used Mac Mini to give to my in-laws. I used the original boot disks to reinstall the software. I then upgraded to Leopard. When all was said and done, everything was wonderful except that iPhoto was nowhere to be found. Going back to the original install disks in Tiger I tried to install via the 'bundled software' but got a 'failed install' because disk 2 apparently is faulty.
Can I copy my iPhoto application from my iMac Intel Core 2 to the MacMini? I have tried several other strategies involving install disks, etc. It's iPhoto 6.06. I'm stymied.

Thanks, Terence. I thought probably that was the case. I guess my only choice is to go back to the beginning with the Tiger install and see if it comes out right.

I would like to copy all the songs from one Ipod into another. All the songs are into my Itunes account, I tried to drag and drop the songs from the old Ipod to the new one but it doesn't work. Is there a way to do it ?

Hello everybody,
I would like to copy all the songs from one Ipod into another. All the songs are into my Itunes account, I tried to drag and drop the songs from the old Ipod to the new one but it doesn't work. Is there a way to do it ?
I share one Itunes account with other people from my family and one person would like to keep the same songs on the new Ipod as the ones which were on the old one.
Thanks in advance for your answer.

Hello Chris,
Thanks for your answer. I was hoping for an easier answer. Too bad there is no drag and drop solution, it would have been much easier.
Thanks for answering so fast.
Bye.

Is it possible to copy formats and styles from one document to another?

Is it possible to copy formats and styles from one document to another?
Or use a commen styledocument as a masterdocument?

Only by creating a template with what you want.

You will be able to do copy & paste when 3.0 comes out this summer.

No. You would make changes to the address book on your PC and then sync via iTunes.

Can one 'copy' Shadow\Stroke settings from one graphic to another?

I'm always juggling hundreds of stills. I'd love to be able to just copy the Shadow settings from one still to another. Or to be able to 'lock' the setting so that they are all they same when applied to a set of stills.
Is something possible here?

Yes:
- select your shape you want to use as a "style model"
- <pre>Format > Copy Graphic Style</pre>
- select all the shapes you want to apply the same graphical style to
- <pre>Format > Paste Graphic Style</pre>
You can also adopt it as a default graphical style forever:
- select your shape you want to use as a "style model"
- <pre>Format > Advanced > Define Default Shape Style</pre>

How to copy a user account from one Mac to another

If I have a main user (admin) account on one Mac, and want to copy its Home Folder over to another Mac that already has user accounts on it, what is the best way to do it?
For example, if I boot the source Mac in Target Disk Mode then connect it to the other Mac, can I just drag and drop from its Users folder into the Users folder on the other Mac? And would that then appear in SysPref/Accounts, complete with names and passwords etc, or is it not that simple?
(Actually, I just checked by launching Migration Assistant, and it seems to indicate I can use it to copy User Accounts from a different Mac - is this all I need? How would I connect the two Macs for this to work?)

Slightly confusing, that article - it talks about using Migration Assistant in Lion or Mountain Lion, but in my case both computers have used Snow Leopard. Does it still apply?
(One other observation - don't you find it confusing the way Apple defines "Target Disk Mode"? It's pretty much always the case that a computer booted in this way becomes the Source computer, while the Target computer is the one it's connected to!!)

Manually copy a Quicktime installation from one Mac to another?

We have an office full of computers with a very specific setup that includes Quicktime 7.1.3. And no, I cannot upgrade to the newer versions of Quicktime due to various technical issues that have arose during our testing. I'm setting up a new Mac station but have discovered that Apple removed all links for Quicktime 7.1.3. So i'm curious if i'd be able to manually copy/paste all the relevant quicktime files from one Mac to another (same specs on both). Would that work? Anybody have a list of files that Quicktime installs?

See if this will work (I've never tried it):
HD>Library>Receipts
Check to see if you have a QuickTime or QT7.1.3 pkg file. If so, click on same. See if it will re-install QT.
If the above works, then you will have no need to transfer QT from one Mac to another.
I wonder if you can transfer just the .pkg files? Hmmmmm.............

Is purchase of one copy allowable on more than one mac?

is purchase of one copy of OS X allowable on more than one mac?

Ex, purchase OSX Mountain lion once, insstall it on 10 devices.
There isn't a limit. That 10 device limit is for content from the App Store (ie iTunes Store), not the Mac App Store—two different places; two different license agreements.

How do I copy an iMovie project from one computer to another (without using aliased files)?

I followed the instructions at http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14745 to copy an event to one library to another. The added library was accessed through a network share. A new folder was created in the iMovie Library package, but the media files were all aliases to the media on the original computer. Is there any way to actually copy the files and not have iMovie just create aliases?

I think the trick is to 'Considate source media' on the new library. See:

Best way to copy large VM files from one drive to another?

Hi all, I am wondering what the best and fastest way there is to copy a large VM file from one drive to another (external drive to internal drive). Should the .pvm folder (in my case with Parallels) be zipped first? The files I need to copy range from 50 to 70gb. thx for any insight! ps. Even Bombich admits it's difficult for CCC to do...not clear why, but it does slow a full clone down to a crawl. I also have Chronosync at my disposal, but suspect the same is true there as well. Cheers!

I don't think it matters much which way you do the job. I use Parallels to compress by drives on a regular basis. If you want to copy a dynamic VM, which can grow to just about any size as required, to another drive you will use about the same amount of time zipping the VM - transfering the VM - unzipping the VM, as you would just moving the VM.
I've moved my VM files to a second partition that does not get cloned to my bootable backup that I create with SuperDuper. I've excluded my entire VM folder from Time Machine and just make zipped backups for each system after any large Service Pack Updates from Microsoft, or any intricate program installations. These get copied to a second partition on my Time Machine drive manually.
My VM's sizes are kept under control by using common Documents-Movies-Music folders for the Mac and the VM's. My VM's do not have the data files the programs use, they are on my Mac and get backed up every hour with Time Machine.
Reinstalling a VM just means deleting the broken copy, unzipping my latest backup, and putting into the same folder that Parallels knows to use. The data files are always accessible, even if they were created after my latest VM backup.

Copying IPTC caption information from one file to another

I need some help with jpeg files to run a script or Automator workflow to copy from one picture to another IPTC information (that's the text that makes up the caption, source, date location etc information in jpegs).
I have more than 300 high res pics that need to receive the IPTC (caption) info already typed into medium res versions of the same pics. The pics are all logically named and numbered (picSB_yyyy-mm-dd_med001 and picSB_yyyy-mm-dd_big001, 002 etc).
I already use Automator to bulk change some IPTC fields (location, copyright, credits etc) and have typed up details of who's in the pics etc in the caption field itself). But I can't see the work flow elements I'd need in the palettes on the left side of the Automator screen to copy the IPTC fields to other files.
I think there are two ways I could do this.
1) Set up an if/then script based on the file names and trailing numbers -
If file in folder named Medium ends in 001, copy IPTC info to file in folder named Big that ends in 001,
Repeat adding one to the value of the trailing number.
2) Move the files to new folders and have the IPTC info copied from one folder to another -
Move top file from folder Medium into a folder named Medium To Do,
Move the top file from folder Big to Big To Do,
Copy IPTC from file in Medium To Do to file in Big to Do,
Move file from Medium to Do to Medium Done,
Move file from Big To Do to Big done,
Repeat.
Can anyone advise me if I've missed the required elements in the Automator palette, or if such scripts might be available elsewhere?

Post the code plz so we can have a look...

How do I copy an art object from one document to another using illustrator API(C )

Hi, I'm trying to copy text and graphic elements from one document into another, does anybody has an idea how to do it using Illustrator SDK(C++)?
Thanks in advance.

If you call AIArtSuite::ReorderArt() giving the layer group handle from the target document and using art from the source document, it will move art between documents. That said, there are all sorts of caveats that come along with that -- some things move over automatically (graphic styles, symbols) while others cause problems. E.g. copying art that contains a swatch can cause a crash when you shut down the source document because it may keep the style reference to the swatch in the source document -- which goes away when the document is closed. Gradients in particular are a problem I believe. Straight up colours are (I think) fine. I've had to write a lot of workarounds for various headaches caused by moving art between documents.
Bottom line: its very doable, but there are a lot of edge cases. This was clearly not an intended use of the SDK, though it is possible.

How to copy/move Portal database from one machine to another?

I am receiving a ORA-22973 error (size of object identifier exceeds maxmum size allowed) on the wwsec_enabler_config_info$ table when attempting to import my entire "portal30" schema from one database to another on different Windows NT Servers.
Background: I had Portal 3.0.9.8 installed, configured, and running with the following setup:
Machine 1: Windows NT 4.0 SP 6, Oracle 9iAS 1.0.2.2, Oracle Portal 3.0.9.8
Machine 2: Windows NT 4.0 SP 6, Oracle 8i Database 8.1.7.0.0
We no longer have use of Machine 2 and needed to move the database over to Machine 1.
I performed the following steps:
1. Installed Oracle 8i database 8.1.7.0.0 on Machine 1.
2. Set up the tablespaces in the database on Machine 1 to match the same names and sizes of the tablespaces in the database on Machine 2.
3. Used the Oracle "exp" command to export the entire database that resided on Machine 2.
4. Copied the ".dmp" file to Machine 1.
5. Used the Oracle "imp" command to import the entire database on Machine 1.
6. The import completed successfully with warnings. But I had received the ORA-22973 error during the import process.
7. After it completed I compared the list of tables and packages in the "portal30" schema between the two databases. The wwsec_enabler_config_info$ table is missing.
8. I tried to export and import only the wwsec_enabler_config_info$ table between the two databases, but continue to receive the ORA-22973 error.
Without the table being created, access to the portal cannot be achieved.
Here are my questions:
1. Is there anyway to create the wwsec_enabler_config_info$ table without receiving the noted error?
2. Is there any other workable way to get the portal database from Machine 2 to Machine 1?
I am aware of the portal import/export utilities but that would require me to run through the 2 hour install of Portal 3.0.9.8 on the database on Machine 1 and then individually export and import all the portal components (security, pages, applications, content library, etc). I merely wanted to transfer the entire database from one machine to another, so I felt the Oracle exp/imp utilities would be quicker and less work.

Hi,
I've been hitting problems with Portal 3.0.9.8.1 against 8.1.7.2.1 on NT - i.e., Intermedia not working at all, and have been advised by support to move back to 8.1.7.1.1.
I don't want to lose any of my content in the Portal since the db upgrade and am wondering on what is the best way to do this.
The version of the Portal will be the same so I am hoping I can just use the Portal export and import utilities, as afterall, it is just data and the schema structures are the same between db versions. I'm also hoping that the Portal export doesn't use the standard Oracle EXP tool as it doesn't work anymore on 8.1.7.2.1 on NT!!
Regards,
John
