How do I get my pictures from my old mac to my new one using CDs?

I had an old mac desktop that I had all my pictures on, so when I got the newest desktop i downloaded all my pictures on to CDs but my new mac wont open the pictures up in iphoto. I think it's because iphoto has bean updated alot since my old mac. So when I put it in an old mac laptop it worked. and I could download my pictures to iphoto. But I really need them on my desktop and im not going to spend days and days emailing picture by picture to my desktop (because there is a lot of pictures) someone please help me!

details are critical
What version of iPHoto did you have? What version now? how did you make the CDs (share burn? export? what?) How are you trying to "open" the pictures? Exactly what happens? what error messages? anything else that might help?

  • How do I get the songs from my old Mac to my new one sans iCloud?

    I recently purchased a new MacBook Air and I need to know how to get the songs off of my 2007 MacBook onto my new one without use the iCloud.

    From your OLD computer...
    Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
    Full Details Here  >  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
    An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.

    Restore from the iCloud backup - assuming that you were backing up to iCloud in the first place. If you weren't using iCloud for backup - then you are out of luck.
    If you were backing up to iCloud - you have to erase all contents on the iPad in Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings - before you can restore from the iCloud backup.

  • How do I transfer my iTunes from my old mac to my new one?

    When setting up the new Mac, it said the Migration Assistant on my old Mac needed updating (OS X 10.4.11) and would not run.  I also created a new apple id on my new mac which is different from the one on my old mac.  How do I transfer my iTunes Library from my old mac to my new one?  Thanks.

  • Can I just transfer iPhoto pictures from an old mac to a new one without transferring anything else?

    I bought a new iMac back in September and finally got around to setting it up.  Unfortunately, I am having loads of trouble transferring stuff from my older iMac to the new one.  It probably has something to do with the reason why we've replaced it...video RAM failure.  I really don't care about settings and applications and most other stuff on the old computer, but I really do want my photo library and if possible, all my saved emails.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  We've tried transferring info from first set-up of the new computer and the old computer would just freeze and have to be shut down half way through the process.  We tried this for HOURS yesterday and just wouldn't work.  Both computers were connected via FireWire, but it didn't help.  I got so fed up with it that I just manually set up the new computer, but it's a blank canvas.  I can get my new e-mail, but don't have my saved emails or my contact list.  We tried transferring again after setting up the new computer but that failed as well...the old one froze half way through.  Can I just transfer bits and pieces without having to transfer the whole user account and settings?

    I stated that I did try to do all of this when I first set up the new computer...I did do the Setup Assistant numerous times but my old computer kept freezing half way through.  Even if I did it when I first got the new computer back in Septemeber, I would have had the same issue b/c my old computer has been 'broken' for a while.  My old computer can't handle doing too much at once and I think the setup and then migration functions I tried were too much.  That's why I was hoping I could use the migration function piecemeal.  I wish I could just check off the exact files and folders I want vs. having to choose it at the 'user' level...that's too much for my old computer to have to transfer.

  • How can I get my songs from my old itunes to my new one?

    I've recently changed computers. I installed iTunes on my new laptop and I plugged my iPod into it, the songs I bought from iTunes were transferred but the others originally from CDs were not transferred. I don't know how to fix this and I have over a thousand songs so don't really want to install the all manually again.
    Thank you,
    Cherry.

  • Can some please provide instructions on how to import an iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Mac without getting a bunch of duplicates?  I tried transferring my pictures using an external hard drive and then copying it to the Pictures folder on my Mac

    Can someone please provide instructions on how to import an iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Mac without getting a bunch of duplicates?  I tried transferring my pictures using an external hard drive and then copying it to the Pictures folder on my new Mac.  I ended up getting a bunch of duplicates. My old Mac has an older version of iPhoto while the new Mac has iPhoto '11.  Is that the cause of the problem?  Please advise.  Thanks.

    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.
