How do I get my new external hdd to back up my iPhoto library that is on another external hdd?

How do I get my new external hard drive (Apollo Expert) to back up my iPhoto library that is on another external hard drive (Apollo M100)?

What backup software are you using? Assuming TimeMachine then in the TM preferences ==> options make sure the EHD is not in the excluded list
For other software look in the manual or contact support for that software

How do i get my Nikon photos from viewNX 2 into the iPhoto library?

1. How do I get my Nikon photos from ViewNX 2 into the iPhoto Library?
2.I tried by copying them and moving to the iphoto folder. Now the Iphoto applicationwon't open because it is locked. the help item says to open it with command option keys down to get the iphoto library First aid window. it does not come up.

How did you add the photos to the iPhoto Library folder? The way to import photos is to drag them onto the iPhoto icon in the Dock or into the open iPhoto window.
it does not come up.
What does not come up? What happens when you try to launch iPhoto with those two keys held down?
Try the following again being sure to hold those keys down before launcing iPhoto and until the window opens:
Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

I am trying to back up my iPhoto library to a WD Passport external hard drive and wondering how to do this

Hi. I am putting my Mac desktop into storage for almost a year and I want to back up my iPhoto library onto a WD My Passport to keep with me and also if I can on to the Airport Time Capsule.
How can I do this successfully? I have about 15,000 photos on the desktop. Or would I be best to us iCloud? Is it expensive? How do I tell how big my iPhoto library is?
How do I know my backups have worked?
Thanks for any help I might receive.

Apple have specific instructions for moving the library.. follow it and make sure the library is working by then opening it from iphoto.

Can I recover photos lost from an iPhoto library that was on an external HD?

I had about 2,000 photos on my iPhoto library that was being stored on an external HD that is plugged into my AirPort Extreme base station 2TB. Today, I imported another 550 photos from my iPhone to that library and now all that seems to be there is the latest iPhone import. I can't find the old photos anywhere - they seem to have vanished.
I tried running iPhoto Library Manager's rebuild function but it only comes up with the 550 photos I imported today.

You can try a file recovery application like File Salvage - you can download a free trial and it will scan the disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store

How do I get my new Apple ID associated with an older MacBookPro so that I don't get charged more than once for a purchased app when I download it to the older computer recently upgraded to Snow Leopard?

I recently upgraded my 2 year old MacBookPro to Snow Leopard so I could download Face Time and Final Cut ProX to it.
I've already purchased the apps and installed on my iMAC and Macbook Air.
After downloading Face Time I received the following mail;
"Your Apple ID, *************, was just used to purchase FaceTime from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID.
If you made this purchase, you can disregard this email. This email was sent as a safeguard designed to protect you against unauthorised purchases.
If you did not make this purchase, we recommend that you go to iforgot.apple.com to change your password, then see Apple ID: Tips for protecting the security of your account for further assistance.
Regards,
Apple"
I don't want to be charged twice for these apps, especially Final Cut ProX, so how can I get the MacBookPro associated with the Apple ID I'm using now?
Cheers

This is probably a new precaution that Apple has taken to alert folks that something has occurred with their account that has not occurred before*, namely a Mac has downloaded something from their account that has not done so before. And as the notice says, if it was you doing so, then you may safely ignore the notice. Also, do not be alarmed, Apple refers to all downloads as purchases, even when they are free.
But if you are truly concerned about the notice then you can authorize the Mac with your iTunes account, which should be the same as your MAS account. Open iTunes on the older Mac and sign into your account. Then in the Store menu choose Authorize This Computer. Now this Mac is definitely associated with your account and can now play media that you purchase from the iTunes Store as well.
*My banks do the same thing when I pop up making a purchase with my bank cards somewhere in the world I have never made a purchase before. They call me and email me and want to know if it is indeed me using the card.

Horrors: How do I get all my original photo files back out of iPhoto 9.1.2?

In my heart I KNEW I should never have upgraded iPhoto when the update came in for 9.1.2. But I had no idea what it was going to do. Now, to my horror, I have found out.
It has EATEN all the original photo files in my Home/Pictures folder and hidden them inside a single iPhoto database! Yikes.
I discovered this nightmare when I tried to find the original hi-res of a certain photo, and searched my Mac for it by filename – the one assigned to it by my camera.
All the original and modified versions of the file should have appeared in the search box – but no original appeared, sending me into a total panic. I also searched my laptop and back-up drive to no avail. Then I looked in the Home/Pictures folder and there were no photo files there, when there used to be hundreds. Just one single iPhoto Library file.
I felt sick, I thought I had lost all my original photos.
So now I have two problems, and questions:
1) iPhoto only displays photos from the last 18 months, so how do you access all the photos from years back now?
2) How can I export ALL my photos back out of the iPhoto database so I can have them where I can see them on my Mac again – as individual files in my Pictures folder like they were before?
Oh, and one other question:
What can I use instead of iPhoto? Can I revert to an earlier version? Or is there an application that I can import photos to that will leave the original files where they are? Then I can make a back-up of the originals before importing them into iPhoto.
Thanks,
Sarah
PS: How do I change my Apple Discussions username?

There's no reason to use the Finder to access your photos. That's what iPhoto is for. THe following is from a post by Terence Devlin on accessing photos for use outside of iPhoto. It's the definitive treatise on the subject.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later:
You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3.Show File:
a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
b. On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Everything on my computer was erased and itunes was reinstalled. how do i get the songs on my ipod back into the itunes library?

How do I get all my songs from my ipod back into the itunes library if itunes was uninstalled and reinstalled?

Do you have iCloud? Or do you have a backup of iTunes profile? More info please

How do I get my ipod items to go back into my itunes library? When i sync it says if you sync you will erase the contents of my ipod.

My Ipod 60gb has 2600+ Items on it. For some reason my Itunes Library only has 1500+. When I try to sync my Ipod to add new songs it says
if you sync you will erase the contants of your Ipod. Help

Your iPod can only be synced with one iTunes library at a time. If you try to sync it with another library, it will erase the current contents of the iPod and replace them with the contents from the new library.
If you have content you need to copy from your iPod back to your iTunes library, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer discussing the different ways to do this.

How do I get a video from DropBox to import into my iPhoto library?

I have tried to by dragging it from my desktop but it says 'unrecognised format'. Please help!

Depending on your interface, you may be able to shut off your speakers there. Hopefully you are working with powered speakers. The fastest way is just to turn off the speakers themselves and switch to the earphone setting on the interface.
