Editing photos on MacBook Air

I have a MacBook Pro and my wife has a MacBook Air. Originally, we copied my iPhoto library to my wife's Air. Since then, she has edited certain images in the library. Our desire is to reconcile, or 'sync' the newer versions of the photos to those in the original library on the Pro.
I have been told that this is possible through Mobile Me. We are hesitant to do this as we have lost data in the past with Mobile Me (in this case, it was a month of events on iCal.)
Would Mobile Me be a safe and viable option? What other options are available?

Use iPhoto Library Manager to move photos/albums/events between Libraries. This is the only wy to get all versions and metadata. Syncing via MobileMe will not get all versions and you may also lose metadata like Faces etc.

    HI
    How can I transfer my photos from Macbook air to my Macbook pro? Can I use something that exports all my photos. I have tried with an external disk, but I not so happy with it, because I would like to keep events and it looks like some are missing. Thank you

  • Sharing Photos on Macbook Air

    My wife and I now have a new Macbook Air with two user accounts (both Admin level).
    My wife has an iPhone and I now have an iPhone & iPad.
    I loaded all our historical photos onto her account (from our old shared MS running laptop).
    The photos from my iPhone/iPad loads up into my account
    and the photos from her iPhone load up into her account.
    Obviously, if I want to access our historical photos I can logon to her account But is there an easier way?
    How does file sharing work and would this allow us to easily share photos (& files, etc).
    Many thanks...
    Obviously, we are new to Apple laptops and systems although have been using iPhone and iPad for some time.

  • How to share photos between macbook air and iphone5s

    What is the easiest way to transfer photos from my iphone 5s to my macbook air, wirelessly.  I have wifi in the house and not really sure how to use the icloud.  Thoughts?  Thank you so much.

    Hi there Braeth,
    There are a couple of ways of accomplishing this. You can either sync them directly to your computer via iTunes, or use iCloud to sync your photos via PhotoStream. I have linked some resources below for how to get everything set up.

  • Best printer for photos for Macbook Air

    What is the best printer to install with a new Macbook Air for printing nice quality pictures?  My old Canon MP960 does not appear to be compatible with the new system.

    The last printer driver that Canon released for the MP960 was for OS X 10.7. You may be able to install and use this driver so here is a link from the Canon Australia web site. Note that this driver is not signed for OS X 10.9 so Gatekeeper may block its installation. To get past Gatekeeper, right-click on the installer and select Open from the pop-up menu that appears. You will now have the option to install this driver.
    If you have any issue with using this 10.7 driver on 10.9 then there is an alternate driver suite known as Gutenprint, although its photo quality is sometimes not as good as the Canon driver - the extra Photo Magenta and Cyan inks in the MP960 are not used correctly. If you are happy to keep the MP960 then there is another driver suite called Printfab that costs €49 and produces quality photo prints.

  • Photos on macbook air

    i have deleted all photos on my macbook air but under storage its still shows 1.6GB for photos.. what does this mean? have the photos been deleted or stored somewhere else as well ?
    need help please

    I hope you mean you emptied the trash folder, and did not delete the folder.  If you deleted the folder, that may explain the 1.6GB.

  • How do I transfer photos from macbook air to iphone 4s?

    I have a macbook air (mid-2012) with have the new itunes version (11.0.1), and can't figure out how to transfer photos from macbook to iphone.  There is no "Photo" tab in itunes in this version, and it doesn't appear in the pulldown choices. Help!

    Connect your iDevice.
    It should show in the left hand sidebar or in a button to the right of the iStore button
    You should see the summary page for your device with other buttons for Music Apps etc
    Click on the Photos
    Check the box to enable syncing of photos.
    Then either select all or choose selected playlists
    When selection is made click Apply at the bottom left

  • TS4253 iPhone 6 cannot import edited photos onto Macbook

    I have iOS 8 as well as the new Yosemite and latest iPhoto, as the Apple support recommends. However, I can still only import originals into iPhoto from my iPhone. It's maddening. What should I do?

    Hi MusicLiz,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know that it can be frustrating when your edited pictures revert back to originals after importing them to your computer. This can happen if your photo-management application cannot read XMP format. The following article describes the situation and names several applications that support XMP format. 
    iOS: Edited photos show original photo after import or in other apps

  • How do I burn photos from macbook air to dvd to play on dvd player

    how do I burn my photos to a dvd to be played on dvd player?

    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD564ZM/A
    You also need to determine what kind of DVDs your player supports.  My player will play discs with image files on it.  Some players will even play files in mp4 format.  If yours will only strictly play DVDs in DVD format then you have to author them with a tool such as iDVD (no longer sold).
    If you are playing these at home you might see if you can ouptu video straight to the video device from your MBA.
