Help transferring photos from Mac Book pro (10.8.1) to a Mac Mini (10.5.8

I am trying to transfer/migrate  iphotos on a Mac Book Pro (v10.8.1) to a Mac Mini (v10.5.8).  Is this possible?
It appears to allow for migration of the mac mini to the mac book pro, but not the other way around.  HELP!

Hi, I think you're going to have to copy the actual pics to somewhere on the Mini, or at least point the mini to the folders one by one to Import Library, instead of trying to Import the newer Library.

    I feel like I should know the answer to this. I can't believe it is a hard question.

    Easy? Right?
    Just plug my iphone in to a mac and copy a photo from the mac to my iphone.
    I don't have internet access - I can't email it, or mobileme it, or dropbox it.

    iTunes. Other than that there is no direct method. However, do try the iPhone forums.

    Restart the router. If there's no change, see below.
    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Mac book pro charger is there a fuse as mine just stopped working?

    Just plugged my new mac book pro into the mains and the charger sparked and I assume blew a fuse. Does anyone know where the fuse is? This is a UK computer not US. Thanks

    What is the correct fuse raiting for a mac book pro charger? My fuse blew at a practice room and the practice room guy replaced it with one lying around which then blew straight away so I'm thinking (hoping) he swapped it with one with the wrong rating. But now I don't have the original to check the rating!
    Thanks

  • Help transferring photos from MacBook Air to new iPhone

    How do I transfer phots from Mac Book Air to a new iPhone?  I can copy the iPhotos library, but I cannot figure out how to find the iPhone device to which I want to transfer.  No icon is showing while iPhone is plugged into the USB.  THANKS!

    Thanks Terence, but even in iTunes I cannot find the iPhone device to which to transfer.

  • Help transferring photos from iPhone to macbook

    when i switched from the 4s to 5s i transferred all of the pictures from the 4s onto a windows laptop, then transferred the pictures from the laptop onto the 5s. now my 5s is almost out of storage, and i was wondering if it was possible to transfer the old pictures onto my macbook and then delete that album from the phone. also the album of pictures from the computer doesn't have the delete option when you go to edit albums.

    If you still have the windows laptop your best option is to get the photos from there. If the only copies of the 4s photos that you have are now on the 5s (placed there by using iTunes to sync from the Windows computer) then you will either need to email them to yourself or use 3rd party software such as http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php to salvage them from the 5s.
    Once you have safely recovered the 4s photos that were transferred to the 5s via iTunes sync, you can remove them from the 5s by syncing with iTunes using the following instructions from iTunes: Syncing photos - Apple Support . Note that if the original computer isn't available you may first need to sync a few new photos from your current computer using iTunes and then sync again to delete them using the following instructions.
    To delete synced photos and videos from your device
    In iTunes, click the Device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper-right corner first.)
    Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
    Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    Note: To delete all synced photos, deselect "Sync Photos from" and, when asked, click "Remove photos."
    Click Apply.

    How can I get my 2010 macbook pro to send signal out through the mini display port?

    First, what you said is contradictory. You say "can't get a video signal", then say"the Mac wallpaper is broadcast, the mouse pointer is visible". "No video signal" means an absolutely black,blank screen. It sounds like you have plenty of signal.
    I am supposing what you are seeing is actually a blank desktop, which is to be expected if your settings are such that you are extending the desktop, instead of mirroring it.
    Within the preference panes is a setting that allows you to change this. Open System Preferences, click Displays, and then click Arrangement. You will see that you are extending the desktop. Change that setting.

  • Transferring photos from new Macbook Pro to older laptop

    My new MacBook Pro has Thunderbolt and 800 Firewire and I need to back up 26 GB of photos to an older laptop MacBook with Firewire 400.  I dont want to do it over the network which is too slow for this much info.  Any suggestions?

    I do this kind of thing quite a bit, and it all depends on what kind of storage options that are available.
    1. I have several pen drives, a few 16gb in storage, that I use to transfer data from one computer to another. If you have 26gb of music, the transfer should't be too long.
    2. I also own a few Seagate portable drives, which are great for transferring data. It's also fairly fast. I use a USB to USB2 cable to do the transfer; my cable came with the drive.
    One easy way to figure out which cable you need would be to visit your Apple Store; they should be able to tell which cable to purchase.

    You may have to take the computer to the Apple store to have it removed.

    Here is a post I just assembled for another Appleworks user:
    First, read these excellent articles on Appleworks migration:
    Appleworks for the modern day, a migration tip by a brody; and
    Abandoning Appleworks by Roger Wilmut.
    If you need to run Appleworks 6 to export some data (for example a database, which cannot be opened by any other program):
    a)  If your Mac will still boot into Snow Leopard, partition your hard drive (or add an external hard drive) and install Snow Leopard (and the optional Rosetta) into it and use the "dual-boot" method to boot into Snow Leopard and run Appleworks 6; or
    b)  Install Snow Leopard Server into Parallels and run Appleworks 6 concurrently with Lion, Mt. Lion and Mavericks:

  • I have a new Mac Book Pro, and just like my last Mac, I somemtimes cannot open emails, or delete emails, w/Firefox. Plus the browser along with the Hotmail Browser is very slow. At first I thought it was the old Mac. But not so. Ideas?

    '''bold text'''

    To free up hard drive space the best bet is to move data files that you don't need access to all the time. Likely candidates are music, video, and photos. Things like word processing and spreadsheet files can also be moved but they tend not to be very large and so don't free up much space. The problem with moving the above mentioned files is that iTunes and iPhoto need to know where the files are stored.
    Here's an article explaining how to move the iTunes folder. You can move the iPhoto library using the Finder but there is a slight complication. Start iPhoto, open the Preferences and click on the Advanced tab. The first option is "Copy items to the iPhoto Library". If this option is checked, copy the iPhoto library to your external folder (drag it from the Pictures folder to your external drive) and then delete it from your Picture folder. If this option is not checked, it is a bit more complicated and we'll need to talk a bit.
