How do i copy pictures from my macbook pro to my iMac?

I need to copy a file of photos from my macbook pro to my Imac -- help please!

Just make sure that they're both on the same network, and then go to System Preferences>Sharing and enable file sharing.

  • 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.

  • How do I "move" (not copy) keynotes from my MacBook Pro to my iMac via sharing?

    How do I "move" (not copy) keynotes from my MacBook Pro to my iMac via sharing?

    Whenever you transfer something from one drive or volume to another, it is copied and the original remains where it was no matter the method you use. It is so by design: just in case you were to delete it on the one drive, you still have it on the other. However, if you no longer want the original, simply delete it and empty the trash.

    If you are on iTunes 11 on your Mac then you may want to re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar, which might make it easier to navigate and may instructions may make more sense.
    To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you've enabled the sidebar), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
    If you haven't enabled the sidebar, then from your library click 'iPad' at the top right of the screen and you should get a series of buttons along the top of the screen, including one for Photos

  • How do i copy files from my macbook pro to my hard drive? These files were previously started on my old dell.

    More then likely that external drive is formatted the Windows NTFS format which Mac OS X can Read but it can not Write to that format. So you would need to copy all the data off that drive, to either a Windows PC or to your Mac, thenn use the Mac to format it for the Mac OS. Which would be Mac Extended (Journaled) with a Partition Table of GUID.
    If you want to use that drive on both Mac and PC then you would need to format it either FAT32 or exFAT.

    How do I transfer photos from my MacBook Pro to my iMac?

    You can go into your pictures folder in your user folder on your old computer and copy the iPhoto Library file (should be fairly large) either directly to the new computer or to an external drive.  Copy the old iPhoto Library over to the new pictures folder on your new computer.  The old iPhoto Library should overwrite the iPhoto Library on your new machine.  When you fire up iPhoto on your new machine, everything should be there in the same form as it was on your old machine.

  • How do i move pictures from my macbook pro to a portable drive

    How do I move my pictures from my macbook pro to a portable drive?

    Drag them there in the Finder. If you're moving an iPhoto library and not loose photos, the drive, partition, or disk image you're putting them on needs to be formatted as Mac OS Extended.

  • How do I move pictures from my MacBook Pro to a USB/External Hard drive?

    I can't figure out how to trasfer pictures and files from my MacBook Pro to my USB hard drive. Help please?

    We could use a little more information, are you trying to move from a folder to an external drive? Or are you moving from IPhoto.
    Either way should be able to select the pictures you want and drag them to your external.
    If you have not used the drive before you may need to format the external drive with Disk Utility. You will need to choose a catalog method and what you choose should depend on if you plan to use a Mac only, or Mac and PC.

    What files are they saved in?
    Right click on the photo in the finder and select - Move to Trash - or to simply drag them to the trash - or click on the photo and go to File>Move to trash

  • How can I play sound from my MacBook Pro through my iMac?

    I have a MacBook pro which I am looking to use for only iTunes or Spotify for the time being but the iMac built in speakers are better.
    I am internet sharing from an ethernet on my iMac and the Macbook pro is connected to the shared network.
    Can I play music from Spotify on my macbook pro but out of my iMac speakers?
    Thanks
    James

    For sound, try the audio output port and connecting to the RCA  audio input ports on your Pioneer receiver.  Use something like this:

  • I am wanting to transfer iphoto pics from my macbook pro to my iMac.  How can I do this?

    I have a macbook pro that has iPhoto 11 version 9.1.5 that has pictures that I am trying to move over to my iMac into iPhoto on the iMac which is iPhoto 11 version 9.1.5.  What is the easiest way to move these pictures from my macbook pro to my iMac?

    On the iMac: Export the 30 or so pics from iPhoto to a Folder in the Desktop (File -> Export)
    Then go to the Pictures Folder and drag the iPhoto Library to the trash.
    Next: Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network, Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
    Then import the 30 from the folder on the Desktop.

    For windows pc's Photo albums:
    1) Create a master sync folder on your pc with no photo files at the root level of the folder.
    2) Create sub-folders within the master sync folder with the subfolders named what you want the ipad's photo albums to be named.
    3) Place the photo files you want to sync in the appropriate subfolder within the master sync folder.
    4) In itunes on the photos tab, select the master folder as the sync folder.
    5) After syncing, each subfolder will be an album on the ipad with the proper photos contained there-in.
