As R C-R suggests, it sounds like you may have run +Migration Assistant+ 2 or 3 times. If so, see if any of those accounts has all the data you want to keep; if so, delete the others via +System Preferences > Accounts.+
If not, and you have data you want to keep in multiple accounts, you'll have to copy the data from one account to another. You'll have some difficulty with permissions, since OSX thinks those are 3 separate users, and each should only have access to it's own data. Post back with details if you need to do this.

How do I get imported pictures (from my macbook pro) onto my iPhone 5?

Hey ther Caraaaaa,
It sounds like you have some photos you have imported to your computer that you would like to sync to your phone. This article should help you navigate to, and configure photo syncing from iTunes to your device:

Importing video on a MacBook Pro

Well, this is my first attempt to import video to my MacBook Pro and it's not going well. First off, no firewire port. Oops. Now what? iDVD says that no camera is attached. Of course it probably wouldn't recognize it going into the USB port, but now what do I do?
I have a 1TB external drive that takes firewire. Any way I can daisychain the two and import directly to the external drive?

So sorry. Trying to import into iMovieHD

I have chosen to fil migrate from old ibook to new MacBook Pro using Time Machine after establishing admin account. I now have two admin. accounts and wish to delete the later one and transfer files manually. I am worried I will loose both accounts. ??

Use the Office for Mac and ignore using Parallels for that. If you have PC only apps you have to run that are MS Windows only then consider Parallels. Just transfer your main PC, using Migration Assistant. If you don't know how then simply read over Pondini's article called Lion or Mountain Lion Setup Assistant tips and look for the section on migrating from a PC. Millions have done what you are about to, it's far from leading edge these days, if you go to an Apple Store to purchase they will offer this as a service, something you might be interested in.

How do I uninstall iBooks from my MacBook Pro?

how do I uninstall iBooks from my MacBook Pro if a message pops up saying: "iBooks app cannot be modified or deleted because its requires by OS X"???

No, you're missing the entire forest and the trees. Whatever it is you are trying to accomplish by hacking iBooks off of your system, it is not an informed decision that will benefit you in any way. To increase rather than decrease the load on iTunes by returning the book library view to it would tend to make iTunes worse, wouldn't it? Certainly, not being able to open your books there in any way can't be an improvement. If you have books that used to show up in iTunes, and that is where you want them displayed, then you have books that will be read on iBooks on iOS or OS X. If you're just shifting ePubs into some other reader on your mobile devices, you wouldn't put them into your iTunes library at all, and iBooks would be empty anyway.
And beside that, you're hosed in Yosemite with those maneuvers, so again, accomplishing absolutely nothing but scratching a very silly itch that is much worse as the rash you're creating. Did you delete the unnecessary keyboards and language files first, because that will save a lot more space. Did you cull the unnecessary kexts for your hardware? You know, things that actually do something valuable with a measurable benefit and no downside. If iBooks is such a pressure on your life that you have to get rid of it, how would you know? Do you torture yourself by opening iBooks everyday and then screaming in pain? If you can live without it installed, then you would not normally be opening it anyway, so it would have about the same affect on you as Migration Assistant or Chess, unless you deliberately sought it out.

Hi - I'm trying to sync iBooks on my Macbook Pro with iBooks running on my iPad. I have some pdf's download from the net I want to share between devices and I can't work out how to sync the two devices. Any help please?

Hi - I'm trying to sync iBooks on my Macbook Pro with iBooks running on my iPad. I have some pdf's download from the net I want to share between devices and I can't work out how to sync the two devices. Any help please? I'm running Mavericks

Thanks for your help Brij011 - much appreciated. Apologies as I'm a newbie but I've looked at the info for synching and I appear to have all the switches flicked on my iPad. Does the iPad and iBooks only sync in iCloud for purchases as I appear to be doing something wrong. I could sync ok when books was in iTunes but since migrating to Mavericks I think I'm doing something wrong!!

Downloaded iBooks on my Macbook Pro but when I tried to sync it on my iPhone, this appeared: "Are you sure you want to sync books? All existing songs, movies and TV shows on the iPhone "My iPhone" will be removed". Love the iBooks as well as music. HELP!

From the message you are receiving, it sounds like you either, 1) haven't synced your iPhone with that computer before, 2) are using two different iTunes accounts, or 3) both. If you have purchased music or movies through your iPhone with a certain iTunes account and purchased books through iBooks on your MacBook through a different iTunes account then there is no having both on the phone.
Apple doesn't allow content from two different accounts on a device at the same time. Also if two "libraries" have been created, one on the iPhone and one on the Macbook then syncing will erase data that is not associated with that particular library.
If you are using the same iTunes account for both, then you should be able to redownload any purchased items (music, books, etc.) from iCloud, assuming you have set that up.
I hope this helps!

Why is there not a "iBook" app for Macbook pros?

I just bought some books off of the iTunes store and I am rather frustrated that I can not open them in anyway on my Macbook Pro. Apple why have you not made a iBook app for Macbook Pros yet???

I wish they would do ibooks mac app - but until then try this one - its simple and free:

Which duplicate cleaner can i use on macbook pro

which duplicate cleaner can i use on macbook pro?

Skytag's File Buddy. I would just use it to sort by file name. Don't use the duplicate cleanup as it may get too much! Note it may also show applications as packages, and their contents as individual files within a .app folder. Do not confuse the various .app folder contents for files that are duplicate, since they are default files for the various Mac OS X applications. Make sure the duplicates have the same file name and byte size, before choosing to delete one file.

Hello, how can I import pictures from my Macbook Pro to my iMac?

I have stored my holiday pictures on my Macbook Pro and I want to transfer/copy them to my iMac. I have a local network (via Apple hardware) and I have marked the photo library on the Macbook Pro as "Shared". So I should be able to transfer pictures from this lobrary to my iMaclibrary. Sharing pictures amongst different Apple computers seems to be difficult. Even burning pictures on a CD-rom is not that easy it should be. But that's another question. You should find the possibility to burn pictures on a cd direct from iPhoto but the function is simly not there. Yes you can share them by e-mail, Facebook,...but sometimes you just want to have some transfers between your own computers...

You can use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to copy selected Events from your MBP library into the library on your iMac while keeping all metadata, locations, faces, etc.
If you want to import ALL photos in your MBP library into your iMac library that are not already in the iMac library (without keywords, metadata, etc.) you can use SyncPhotos.
Here's how it works:
1 - it compares the databases and/or album.xml files of Libraries A and B.
2 - the files in A that are not in B are imported into B by copying the original files from A into B's Import folder.
3 - it then does the same for B.
4 - metadata is not copied.
It can be used to just copy from A to B and not sync both ways if desired. It will work with 2 libraries that are different versions, i.e. between an iPhoto 08 and iPhoto 09 library.

I have many of those lost photos on my iPod. How can I import those to my MacBook Pro without the iTunes synchronization kicking in and removing them?

I lost rather a lot of photos on a corrupted external storage device. I have many of those photos on my iPod. How can I import those
photos into my MacBook Pro without the iTunes synchronization function kicking in and effectively deleting those photos I want to
import from that iPod? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as those photos now only reside on that iPod...

The photos you synced to your iPod through iTunes are no longer in their full resolution, but instead are scaled down thumbnails of those photos. So if you do manage to get them off your iPod, they will be quite small in size compared to the original ones you lost.
In order to get them off of your iPod, you'll need the help of some sort of 3rd party software. Here is one option.

Sony cybershot videos automatically import into iPhoto on MacBook Pro but not iPhoto on Mac Mini

This is so weird. I have iPhoto '11 vers 9.4.2 OS 10.7.5 running on both my MacBook Pro and my Mac Mini. I can hook up the Sony cybershot and import all photos and videos into the MacBook Pro's iPhoto without any problems or special actions. But the MacMini will only import the photos and never recognizes the videos even being there.
As a work around I can then drag the videos from the MacBook Pro's iPhoto window to the desktop, then turn on file sharing and pull them into iPhoto on the Mac Mini w/out any problems.
Info on the videos on the MacBook Pro's iPhoto: 1920x1080 H.264 29.97 fps
Once those videos are dragged to the desktop it's a .mov and opens in Quicktime
Info on the videos on the MacBook Pro's Desktop before file sharing to the Mac Mini: Format: AVCHD 1080i60, 1440 x 1080 (1920 x 1080), Millions 16 bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo (LR) 48kHz 29.97 fps Data Rate: 83.1 Mbit/s
What's going on here? Is there some special codecs or something on the MacBook Pro iPhoto that the Mac Mini's Iphoto doens't have? How can I fix this so my wife can import the videos straight to iPhoto on the Mac Mini like I'm able to do on my MacBook Pro?
Thanks!

Yes and no. It is my understanding that the most direct way will require attaching the script to each of the subfolders. However, the attaching of the script can be done using AppleScript. Those subfolders that are already in existence can have the scripts attached using the following script:
click here to open this script in your editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">property WatchedFolderName : "Camera Phone Images"
property WatchedFolderPath : ((path to desktop) as text) & WatchedFolderName
property ScriptName : "Subfolder detection.scpt"
property ScriptPath : ((path to Folder Action scripts) as text) & ScriptName
tell application "Finder"
set target of window 1 to folder WatchedFolderPath
set theSubFolders to folders of entire contents of target of window 1
repeat with i from 1 to count of theSubFolders
tell application "System Events"
attach action to (item i of theSubFolders as string) using ScriptPath
end tell
end repeat
end tell</pre>
and subsequently added folders can be caught by adding a test for folders being added in the folder action script. I am working out the details on that one now.

Import video on newer macbook pro

I have a Macbook pro that doesn't have a Firewire 400 input - only Thunderbolt, Firewire 800, and USB
I'm trying to import video from my Canon video camera that has a 4 pin port.
I tried a 4 pin to 9 pin cable, but no avail.
Any ideas on how to import now from my camera?

A 4 pin to 9 pin cable should work. Make sure your camera is plugged in to AC power (not batteries only).

Importing Component Video to MacBook Pro

Hi All,
I have a satellite receiver with a Y Pb Pr output and an HDMI output. I've recorded a few programs that I would like to transfer to my MacBook Pro. I'm confused by the available cables. Can someone tell me what cable I need and the procedure to import video programming into my MacBook Pro?
Thanks,
kayjh

Actually, after doing a bit more reading, I find that DVI doesn't carry audio (and sounds like it is an output from the port on my computer, not an input), so I'm back to square one. Anyone have success transferring digital content from a PVR to their Mac? there must be a simple way (??)

Export playlists from my iMac and import them to my MacBook Pro

Both computers have the same library, however I can not export my playlists from my iMac to my MacBook Pro. The name of the playlist imports into my library but the music doesn't. Any suggestions..

Export the playlist as an .xml file not .txt and it should work.
