Copy of iPhoto for Macbook Air & iMac?

I have iPhoto on my Macbook Air, but I purchased a used iMac which does not have iphoto. Do I have to purchase iPhoto from the Mac store for copy on my iMac? I want the abillity to organize photos on both computers. Can I copy iPhoto from the Mackbook Air to the iMac?

The iPhoto app did not appear in the purchase list. After more research I discovered the new version of iPhoto is not compatible with Snow Leopard OS and I will need to purchase an old version of iLife if I want iPhoto on my iMac running Snow Leopard.

  • Copying from iPhoto on MacBook to iMac

    I have used my MacBook Air to organise photos whilst away into events and entered descriptions.  Now I am back I want to move these events as they are to my Apple Mac.  How can I do this and keep them in their original events?

    You'll need to use iPhoto Library Manager to move the Events from one Library to another. It's the only way to move all versions and metadata between Libraries.
    If you don't want all versions (and so lose you non-destructive editing facility and some metadata) export from iPhoto on the MBA and then import to the iPhoto on the iMac.

  • When I transferred my iPhoto from macbook to iMac it created double events for each, how do I correct this?

    When I transferred my iPhoto from macbook to iMac it created double events for each, how do I correct this?

    How did you do it?
    Here's what should work:
    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.

  • Is Mavericks.app for iMac same as that for Macbook Air?

    I downloaded Mavericks.app for my iMac and then used the same installer (mavericks.app) to upgrade my Macbook Air 2013. The upgrade was smooth; but the battery life isn't very great.
    Can someone confirm that there's Mavericks upgrade for iMac is the same as that for Macbook Air?

    Thanks! Haven't had any problems with the software; except that I'm not happy with the battery life my MBA 2013, 13" offers after the upgrade. Looks like time to reset PRAM and SMC.

  • Firewire to usb adapter for macbook air

    Hello,
    Just purchased the latest version Macbook Air.  I'd like to transfer video from a Sony video camera w/mini DV tape, into iMovie '11 on the laptop.  Trouble is, I can't use my existing firewire cable as before on the iMac desktop.  There are prior discussions on the forum about this but none current.  Have there been any new developments in the firewire adapter arena for Macbook Air?  Thx.

    Sonnet Technologies is supposed to introduce a Thunderbolt-Firewire adapter called the Sonnet Allegro later this month. http://www.sonnettech.com
    "The Allegro™ FW800 Thunderbolt™ Adapter enables users to plug in a FireWire® 800 device, including a bus-powered drive, to any computer with a Thunderbolt port."

  • The PDF file and slideshow view corrupted using iPhoto. Macbook air only get corrupted slideshow and Mac Mini both slideshow and PDF file is corrupted.

    The PDF file and slideshow view corrupted using iPhoto. Macbook air only get corrupted slideshow and Mac Mini both slideshow and PDF file is corrupted.

    Saving as a PDF file for some users have been a problem.  If you boot into  Safe Mode and run iPhoto you can create undamaged PDF files.  We don't know why the problem but this is a workaround.
    This problem prevents many from ordering books, calendars and cards since iPhoto creates PDF file of them for uploading and printing.  Booting into Safe Mode lets them successfully order those items.

  • Transfer iPhoto between Macbook and iMac

    I just managed to transfer my iPhoto contents from MacBook to iMac and thought I would share this.
    I needed to do this because my Macbook hard drive is full and I have plenty of space on my iMac.
    Connect MacBook and iMac with Ethernet network cable (I found this the fastest way but you may connect via your home network wifi connection as well)
    In MacBook, Open Finder and on the left pane under Shared, click on your iMac.
    show items as Columns by clicking on third icon on the top pane.
    Make a folder somewhere on your iMac by right clicking on white space. (I made a folder under Pictures)
    Click on this new folder (which should be second column in the view) and third column will be empty as there are no items in this new folder.
    In MacBook, Open iPhoto application, on the left pane click on Photos which will show all your photos in the view.
    Now adjust the size of this iPhoto window and above Finder window so you can see them next to each other.
    To test, just drag one or two photos from iPhoto window to Finder window in the third column (which is empty as there are no items in this new folder)
    If successful, drag other Photos or Videos as required and test by opening this new folder on your iMac. that's it. hope this helps.

    I'm afraid your explanation of what you've done is not clear.
    Did you copy the Library from one machine to the other?
    or
    Did you back up the Library to another Library?
    The distinction is important:
    In your title you ask about
    synchronize iphoto between MacBook and iMac...
    If you mean one direction copying - that is, backing up Library A to Library B, then you'll have no problems.
    However, if you try +bi-directional copying+ - that is changes in Library A reflected in Library B and changes in Library B also reflected in Library B you will corrupt one or both Libraries. No syncing software can parse the Library database to do bi-directional copying.
    Is there something not working if you have the iPhoto library stored as a folder instead of a package?
    No.
    Isn't it easier to have the iPhoto library as a folder instead of a package to synchronize it with another Mac using rsync?
    iPhoto is a consumer application designed to be manipulated in the GUI.
    Since iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is a Package File. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
    So, by running it as a Folder you facilitate this.

  • What office program is best for macbook air 2013

    what office program is best for macbook air 2013

    To create some sanity here:
    If you are going to share files with family, friends, and coworkers Microsoft Office is the obvious and easy (though expensive) choice.
    If you are trying to save money and still remain compatible with friends LibreOffice is free and can read/write Microsoft Office files nearly perfectly.
    Another free choice is Apple's iWork suite (you'll have to download it from the App store because it isn't pre-installed) Numbers, Pages, and Keynote. These programs read Microsoft documents mostly accurately but not quite as well as LibreOffice and export to Office compatible documents. But neither LibreOffice nor iWork saves in Microsoft formats by default which means you must remember to export them. That can be a problem.
    In terms of ease of use I give iWork a slight edge over the other two. In terms of doing annoying things I don't expect, Office is the hands down winner.

  • Apple's Replacement Program for Macbook Air mid-2012

    Hi everyone, I just wanted to know more about apple's replacement program for Macbook Air mid-2012. I updated the said firmware and then my mac air stops working. However, according to the program, they are replacing it free of charge. I just went to an authorized service provider here in the Philippines and I just want to know if I will be paying any. I can't find good discussions in Google. Thanks.

    You should not, as the replacement program is worldwide. In case the reseller refuses to repair your Mac for free, print this website and take it with you

    Webcam not working for Macbook Air 2013 after upgrading to OSX Mavericks? Yahoo/ Google/Skype cam chats not working. Facetime works though. Any updates of Mavericks released to fix this?

    I have a MacBook Pro Retina display: 15.4-inch late 2015 with OS X Mavericks install, only on second week. 
    Insight works on FaceTime, Skype, but yahoo program does not show insight cam in dropped down.
    Now when I got my new MacBook Pro, I down loaded all new Skype (worked tested), FaceTime (Worked Tested), Yahoo (not worked)
    Fix:
    With the new Maverick you have to use there messager program Version 8.0 (4218). Once I add my yahoo account video works again.
    It also supported AOL, AIM, Google Talk, Jabber.
    Guess I miss it frist time... hope this helps...

  • TS3276 I have installed OS X Mavericks on macbook pro, macbook air & iMac but I am having terrible trouble with apple Mail. I need to take all accounts online frequently OR worse I have to quit mail and restart computer. Is anyone else having problems?

    I have installed OS X Mavericks on macbook pro, macbook air & iMac but I am having terrible trouble with apple Mail. I need to take all accounts online frequently OR worse I have to quit mail and restart computer. Is anyone else having problems?

    I just checked to see if the update to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 solved any of the issues outlined in my previous post, and to my dismay, nothing has changed -- all of the previous problems persist.
    My iMac (8) -- it's renamed itself eight times since the recent troubleshoot with the Apple tech rep -- shows up as a shared device in Finder on my MacBook Pro, but when I click on it, I cannot establish a connection using "Connect As".  So I've attempted to connect using the menu "Go/Connect to Server...", using both (alternately) the iMac's name and IP address, to no avail.  I get a message which reads: "There was a problem connecting to the server 'Peter's iMac (8)'. This server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time.  Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
    Here's what I know:
    The server -- Peter's iMac (8) does exist;
    The server -- Peter's iMac (8) is available at this time;
    The server name -- Peter's iMac (8) -- is correct, as specified in the system sharing preferences;
    The server IP address is correct, as specified in the system sharing preferences;
    The network connection is active when I attempt to connect.
    I'm convinced the problems stem directly from the OS X Yosemite update.  None of this was ever remotely an issue in the previous OS X's -- any of them.  This is maddening!  What can be done?  Apple?? Anyone???

    Is Mac's firewall sufficient or is will an additional firewall help?  What security suite do you recomend for MacBook Air with Maverick?

    Third party security software is better at causing problems then it is at solving them.
    I recommend against them.
    If you felt it is necessary then configure the firwall software included with OS X.
