Exporting iphoto pictures from Mac mini to macbook problems

Everytime I try to do it, I get this:
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j251/chaslam500/Picture1-1.png
Thats done when exporting via a disk, and does the same (but says cannot find location) when trying it with wifi or via an external HDD (Even from the back up of the mini it doesnt work.
What can I do?

Have you searched or posted in the iPhoto forum?

They might have a better idea of what's happening and it might not be specific to using the MacBook.

Transfer Pictures from Mac Mini to Macbook?

I need to retrieve some photos from my Mac Mini for use in my Macbook.
I have Mac Mini but no monitor for it.
Macbook is hooked up to wireless DSL.
How can I do this with no monitor to see the info on the Mac MIni?
Thanks!

If you have a firewire cable, you could connect the two Macs together and start the Mini up in Firewire Target Disk Mode. Then the Mini's hard drive would appear on the MacBook's desktop as a hard drive.

Moving photos from mac mini to macbook...AH!

So I want to move all my twos years worth of photos from my mac mini to my macbook. I tried just putting the actual folders for 05' and 06' from my mac mini onto an external hard drive and then dragging then into iPhoto on my macbook, but it didn't organize them well at all. There doubles of some of the photos and some of them are way out of place. Is there a better way I can transfer these fills and keep them organized?

Bananaeatsmonkey:
All you need to do is copy the entire iPhoto Library folder to the Macbook and place it in the Pictures folder unless you have a library there with additional photos in it. If no then a simple replacement is all you need to do. When you open iPhoto it will open that library.
Note: Just to be sure all permissions/ownership are correct on the copied folder download and run BatChmod on it as follows before opening for the first time:
download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administartive name in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application, iPhoto dB file backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar

Switching from Mac Mini to Macbook Air

Hello, this is my first post in this forum and I hope that I chose the right category.
Right now I'm running a Mac Mini 2011 Base model, that is the one with an 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 processor and I have also upgraded the RAM from 4GB to 8GB.
I know want to take a step further into the Mac laptops and I have my eye on the Macbook Air but I have some questions.
The work I do is mostly writing code and light photo editing with Photoshop, no heavy photo editing or video rendering. I want to know which Macbook Air I should pick to get about the same performance as the 2011 Mac Mini that I'm running right now because I'm very happy with my Mac Mini.
Here are some questions:
1. How do the processors stand up to the Mac Mini? The latest Macbook Air of course runs the new Haswell processors but I'm uncertain if I should pick the upgraded i7 processor that's available. The Macbook Air has a lower clock frequency than the Mac Mini and I was wondering if the Macbook Air can stack up.
2. Should I get the 11 inch or the 13 inch screen? I will be doing most of my work hooked up to an external monitor but sometimes I feel the need to sit down at an more comfortable place. Is there anyone who has any experience with web design/coding on an Macbook Air monitor?
I'm already planning on getting the 8GB of RAM upgrade and probably the 256GB SSD too.
I'm very thankful for any answer whatsoever!
Sincerely,
Fabian Lindfors

Mac Mini is great isnt it? Got a couple of them and typing on one now.
My new base model 2013 macbook Air I5 with 8gig of ram
vs. what im currently using now,... this Mac Mini QUAD CORE with 16 gig of ram.
Honestly on simplex Photoshop editing I notice NO difference between my quad core 16gig RAM Mac Mini and my Macbook Air 13" I5.
Ive had both 11" and 13" macbook Air, I really wouldn't go back to the 11".
Also the battery life in the 13" is a lot more than the 11". Much larger Lithium Polymer battery packs on the 13"
Yes, get the 8gig of ram regardless
Here is an excellent video comparison between the 11” I5 vs. I7 2013 Macbook Air.

HD from Mac Mini into MacBook; do I need to reformat the drive?

Hello. We have a 2010 White MacBook 7,1 that had been experiencing a few problems (slow, quirky behavior, poor battery performance and unable to repair permissions) and the HD seemed to fail when we attempted to upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mavericks so I replaced the HD with a brand new drive out of a Mac Mini.
My question is do I need to reformat the HD for the MacBook since it originally came with the Mini? It starts up and runs fine but I'm not sure if there may be any unexpected issues down the road like incorrect firmware updates or something? Has anyone else already done this before?
Thank you for any useful input.

No, you don't. You just need to check a few settings, such as the Energy Saver ones, and that any commercial software on the drive runs.

How do I transfer data from Mac Mini to Macbook Pro

How do I transfer data from a Mac Mini (10.6.8) to a Macbook Pro (10.7)?

Hi David,
When you first start the MBP, run Setup Assistant and connect the two machines with a FireWire cable.

How do I transfers iphoto pictures from one Mac to another?

How do I transfers iphoto pictures from one Mac to another?

Just snaps?
Export from one and import to the other
Snaps and all the versions and edit history?
Network the two machines together and use iPhoto Library Manager
Something else? You'll need to explain in more detail.

Can I move my iWeb from mac-mini to my new macbook pro ? iLife 11 does not have iWeb and I really want to use it to update my website on my new macbook Pro instead of Mac mini

Can I move my iWeb from mac-mini to my new macbook pro ? iLife 11 does not have iWeb and I really want to use it to update my website on my new macbook Pro instead of Mac mini

There is no license required for iWeb. Just do a Wyodor suggested and you'll be ready to go. If you're running Lion however, consider the following:
In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

Widescreen w. DVI from Mac-Mini ?

I bought a new monitor (Philips 200W6CS) with 1680*1050 pixels , to replace a Belinea with 1200*1000 pix.
When connected to the mac mini it gave a very clear picture but only for only 5 minutes, ending in sleep-mode, or "no signal".
The same DVI-cable then still gives signal to other DVI-monitor,
The new 200W6CS does only work stable on VGA with same but less sharp 1680*1050 pix, .... and still with DVI from PC's.
The OS here is 10.3.7..
The video from mac-mini should support 1900*1200 pix...
What is wrong ??, and how to fix ??
mac mini, windows PC Mac OS X (10.3.7) Philips 200W6CS

I suspect if you dug into the details of the video timing for 1680 x 1050 you would find the dot clock is above 135 MHz. The mini is not stable above that level with certain DVI receivers. Probably you will have to use a program like DisplayConfigX or SwitchRes X to lower the pixel clock below 135. Here is a thread that may help.

Moving from mac mini to iMac with my backups

i'm waiting for my iMac and i will use migration assistent to get my account from Mac mini
but how can i bring my time machine backups on the new iMac, i need to restore older version of some code files
Is it possible?
can i do it even moving it to a new external drive?

Purchase Aperture and use it to fix the links that break when you move the library (assuming that you have the latest iPhoto) or purchae iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - and use it to rebuild a managed library
One of the many reasons that referenced libraries are not currently recommended with iPhoto is its inability to handle a change in the path to the photos

If you mean the 10.4 DVD is a full-retail copy for any machine, not the version that came with the Mac mini.

Apple TV has no sound when mirroring from Mac mini,sound works when mirroring from iPad and iPhone

When I mirror from Mac mini to Apple TV there's no audio from Apple TV to my av amp,it works fine from iPhone and iPad,is there something I need to do in the airplay settings?

Here's what finally solved my issue:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/24436903#24436903
From this Apple Community User:
https://discussions.apple.com/people/Winston%20Churchill
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Reset the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings)
Restore the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Restore)
Apparently there is an issue if you push the Apple Remote before you set your computer to mirror. Whatever I did, it had locked it in that state. Once I stopped mirroring, then went onto the TV screen and restarted the Apple TV (#1 above) it then allowed me to choose mirroring on my Mac and the audio automatically switched from the computer to the TV (making the computer now mute), BTW the volume needs to be maxed on the computer as that will transmit to the TV if your volume is low on the computer. Then you can raise or lower it the way you want on your TV.
Yay!
Hope this helps others.....
