How do I copy an album from one mac to another without duplicating the photos

When I try to copy an album of photos from my wife's mac to mine, I just want the "album". I already have the photos. But I want to have that subset in the order she put them in. However, all I can figure out to do is "copy" that album, importing all the photos again as duplicates, then taking Last Import and making the album from that. And it doesn't necessarily preserve the order that the photos were sorted into. Surely there's an easier way. Is there?

You can not have an album with out haveing the photos so it is impossible to do this
You can use iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  to move albums between iPhoto libraries

  • I have no problems copying iMovie Events from one Mac to another, however, how can I copy iMovie Projects from one Mac to another?

    I have no problems copying iMovie Events from one Mac to another, however, how can I copy iMovie Projects from one Mac to another?  Any help will be appreciated.  Thank you.

    This should give you some good insight, I'd probably store them on an External HD on the old machine and then just drag and drop to the new machine.

  • How can I move my iPhoto Library from one Mac to another without losing the comments on the individual photos in the process?

    How can I move my iPhoto Library from one Mac to another without losing the comments on the individual photos in the process? The source Macbook (OS 10.4.11 and iPhoto 6.0.6 (3.2.2.)) is with my husband in Germany, the target MacBook Pro (OS 10.8.5, iPhoto 11) is with me in Japan. Thanks for your help.

    I copied the iPhoto Library to a CD and from there to the new MacBook
    If you copied the library to the CD via the Finder it would be no different than the methods Terence suggested.  If you used the Share ➙ Burn menu option from inside iDVD you'll get a mini library that has to be accessed from the open library and the events/alubums copied into the destination library.  Not the same as the other methods.
    The Share ➙ Burn method is no longer supported with iPhoto 9 and later.

  • How do I copy a playlist from one Mac to another?

    I just bought a MacBook and have transferred some of my music from my iTunes folder on my older MacPro using wireless file sharing. How do I copy the numerous playlists I've got on my older computer? Do I copy the iTunes library file?
    I've got the new aluminum MacBook which has no FireWire for some inexplicable reason and so can not connect to my MacPro as an external hard drive.
    Thanks

    I guess I could do that if it's the only way and then delete the music I don't want on my laptop. The problem is that I've got over 35 GB of music in my MacPro's iTunes folder and I really only want to copy a fraction of that to my MacBook. Are there any other options? If not, I'll go ahead with your recommendation.
    Thanks

  • How do I transfer a color from one object to another without losing the gradient?

    COLORING AN OBJECT AND SAVING THE GRADIENT
    These are my notes.
    x
    Choose the EYEDROPPER tool.
    x
    Sample the color you want from an object in your image.
    x
    Double-click on the fill icon at the bottom of the tool panel.
    This brings up the COLOR PICKER panel.
    In that panel, you'll find the numeric value of the color you sampled.
    I followed these instructions but when the COLOR PICKER panel came up, it didn't show the color it was suppose to show.  The color I sampled with the eyedropper was a light blue with a gradient.  I had a few different files up with the same image.  One file brought up the color orange in the Color Picker panel.  And another file brought up a total BLACK, with a numeric value of 0000!  Can anyone tell me what's happening? 

    My guess is the eyedropper tool is struggling.  The best way and the one I use is to get color readings in Photoshop using its eyedropper tool.  Write down the color percentages for each color you want from the image.  Then, in Illustrator, I use the color palette to create new swatches using the percentage I wrote down from the actual image file.  Those new swatches can be used ( or transferred to ) in the gradient palette.  I have never used the eyedropper tool for getting color from anywhere in Illustrator.  But, that's just me.

  • Move a site from one Mac to another without losing sites already there

    I would like to move a site from one Mac to another without losing the websites that I have already built on the other Mac. Transfering the Domain file is not helping. Is there away to open the new domain file and adding those sites to the domain file associated with this copy of iWeb? I have searched the discussions but am not seeing any clear answers. They all seam to invilve new users or losing the sites already on that mac.

    I seem to have solved my own problem. This may help other users. I found a tip and a web page that suggested moving the Domain File from the application support folder to another on the desktop on one of the computers and then putting the 2nd Domain File from the other computer in a separate folder on the desktop. This is because you can not change the name of the Domain File . Then by double clicking the Domain File with the site wanted, iWeb opens with that set of sites.
    I started with what was to be the new master Domain File and stated a new site with a blank page. saved, did not publish and closed iWeb. Opened from the other Domain File and then clicked and opened the site and page I wanted, then selected all, copied all and closed iweb. Went back to the master Domain File , opened iWeb using that, went to the blank page and pasted in the page from the other Domain File from the other computer. Saved, closed iWeb and repeated till I had all pages. Changed the names to match the sites and Pages. I did not allow iWeb to publish during this process. Took all of 10 minutes and I now have a Domain File with all the sites in one place. I then copied this file back into its original location in Library/application support/iWeb on both computers. I now have all sites in iWeb on both computers.

  • How can I copy cell formatting from one range to another?

    How can I copy cell formatting from one range to another, including text fonts, colours, borders, etc., so that, for example, I can reuse a formatted reconciliation table again in different parts of a sheet?

    Hi George,
    Wayne found the Spinning Beachball of Death, and you will find it too.
    Numbers is not good at handling large datasets. Might I suggest that you group your data into smaller sets (each month, perhaps?) and save each group in a separate Numbers document. Numbers will not link between documents, but you could have a summary Table within each document. Then comes the "clunky" bit of copying all those summary tables into a master document where you do the final processing of the data.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • Can I copy my iTunes from one Mac to another to a distant location?

    I have 2 homes one in NYC and the other in upstate NY. I have multiple Macs at both locations all using Snow Leopard and the latest version of iTunes(9). I only have 1 iTunes library I maintain at the upstate location and have to bring my iPod to the NYC location to play my music. Can I not copy my iTunes library to the NYC location using Home Sharing or using some other method? I often forget to bring my iPod and am left without my music.

    Since I had a problem with my Mac's drive that suddenly failed (I am able to read ONLY), I replaced the internal HD with my emergency HD that I had backedup a few months before. I would like to know if there's a way to copy my settings from one mac to another? Is there a specific folder for all apps or do I have to find out each and every single file for each app?
    I need the settings for
    System (view, font, color,)
    Finder (view, etc)
    iTunes (that include all library, playlists, etc),
    Firefox (Bookmarks, settings & plug-ins),
    Safari (Bookmarks, settings & plug-ins),
    Address Book (contacts)
    Thuderbird (emails accounts, contacts, passwords, etc)
    Stickies (stickies on the dock - i have info on there unsaved)
    Filezilla (FTP infos)
    Would appreciate.
    Thnx.
    All that info is found in your user/library folder, I just did a 60 machine rollout and copied all those settings from user/library, just be forewarned that if you upgrade software those setting will not take on the machine, for example Adobe CS 3,4 will not usable by CS5.  let us know if you need more help.  Also make sure you copy most of your preferences in the user/library/prefences folder.
    Note: If you are using an identical backup with all apps and user settings, you can just copy all folders from user to your new home folder.  Remember that only if the image or backup is identical to your production OS.

    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.
