How do I get photos from iPhoto to my new computer?

I have a new MacBook Pro and I am using the copy-paste method of getting data from my exteranl hard drive to the new computer. I am doing this rather than using the migration assistant to avoid putting any corrupt files on the new MacBook Pro. My problem is that I have many photos in iPhoto on my old MacBook Pro that I would like to transfer to the new one and I can not figure out how to do this. Any advice on a step by step process would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.

If you do not want to use Migration Assistant, email the photos to your new computer.  Use Transfer Big Files.  It's free up to 1GB.

  • How do i get photos from iphoto library over to photoshop elements for editing?

    how do i get photos from iphoto library over to photoshop elements 10 for editing?
    this is an iMac that I just got so its all new to me...
    thank you

    If you set PSE as external editor, be sure you pick the right file, which is not by any means the logical choice. You want this one:
    You can also export the photos from iphoto, edit them and save them under new names and reimport the edited photos as new files. This is more trouble, but lets you save as many different versions of your image as you like (iphoto only remembers the last edited version + original).

  • HT203167 lost my hard drive how can i get songs from ipod back to new computer

    I lost my hard drive and want to get my music back on my new computer. How can I get songs from my ipod to my computer? I am afraid to sync it and losing what is on my ipod. Any help would be appreciated.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from your ipod:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • How do I transfer photos from iphoto to my new ipad?

    Just bought my wife and I new iPads.  We have a MacBook Pro and all all pictures are on her profile.  How do I synch my iPad with iPhoto on her profile (I obviously want to stay away from her iTunes profile as all my songs and videos are over on my profile on our MacBook Pro)

    You either need to share the iPhoto library with both computer login accounts, transfer the photos from her iPhoto library to your iPhoto library under your computer login account, or try transferring photos only from iPhoto under her computer login account - transferring photos from iPhoto under the Photos tab will be the only thing selected under the various tabs for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes under her computer login account. I don't believe the latter will work.

  • How can I get photos from iPhoto to Photoshop Elements?

    I installed Photoshop Elements 10 on my new MacBook Pro because I want to do some additional editing.  I have 800 pictures that I downloaded into iPhoto before I purchased PSE.
    How can I open the pictures in PSE?
    The instructions on the PSE website do not seem to refer to the version of iPhoto I have (the screens and menus are different.

    I used this advice and was able to open the some photos in iPhoto and edit in PSE.   I would like to save them to another file, outside iPhoto.   Is that possible?
    Sure - save As istead of save - then the edited [photo will not be in iPhoto but will be where you put it
    I would also like to open PSE and open the files from PSE, possible?
    You can - use the open command and the media browser - look in the lower left hadn corner of the open windos under media  ==> photos  ==> iPhoto - but why use iPhoto at all if you do not want your photos in iPhoto - if you do the edits this way you will not have them in iPhoto
    Perhaps I need to move the photos out of iPhoto and then open with PSE.
    Again you can do that - select the photo in iPhoto and export (file menu ==> export) and work on the exported photos - again
    but why use iPhoto at all if you do not want your photos in iPhoto - if you do the edits this way you will not have them in iPhoto
    Just now learning Mac, so I think I may still be thinking in PC.
    It is not so much Mac vs PC but database photo management vs file management - the iPhoto database structure is infinantly more powerful that an file approach like you used on a PC

  • How do I get photos from iPhoto via Time Machine?

    Hi,
    I have iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2 and am unable to find my photos through Time Machine.  I tried following the previous discussions on how to do this but I did not find a Master's folder when searching on package contents after right clicking on iPhoto in Time Machine. 
    I accidentally deleted some photos in iPhoto the other night and was hoping that I could easily retreieve them from my Time Machine Back-ups but this is not the case.  Where the heck are the iPhotos photos stored?  I have a MacBookPro running version 10.8.5. 
    Thanks in advance for your help-
    Sheri

    Thanks, LN
    I only need to retrieve a few photos...not the entire library.  Where is the master's folder located, specifically?  I was unable to find it and I looked very thoroughly through all of the folders.

  • How do I get photos from my itouch to my computer?

    I have read multiple blogs and discussion boards all over the internet, and just came across the Apple tech support thing, but it doesn't have how to do it with my software. So, how do I get the photos from my ipod onto my mac laptop, I have OS X 10.6.8.

    AppleiTech, you are wrong
    - For phtos in the the iPod;'s Camera Roll (or saved Photos for older iPods) album
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    - IF they were synced to the iPod yo need a thrid-party progrm like PhoneView or TouchCopy

  • How do I get photos from iCloud on my new iPhone6?

    I traded in my iPhone4S today for an iPhone6.  Only photos from the past week are showing up on my new phone.  How do I get my photos on to the new phone?

    Are these photos part of a backup or are they in photostream.

  • How do I get photos from my iPhone to my computer through Photo Stream that are older than 30 days?

    I set up iCloud on my Windows computer a few months after I got my iPhone.  I set up iCloud and Photo Streaming on my iPhone when I got it, so when I eventually set up iCloud on my computer it would only download the last 30 days of photos to my computer. Is there any way to get the older pictures on my phone to my computer though the iCloud?

    Photos are only stored in iCloud for 30 days. If they are still in the camera roll on your phone, you can extract them as you would photos from any digital camera. If you deleted them from the camera roll and they have rolled off of iCloud Photo Stream, I'm afraid they are gone.

  • How do I print photos from iPhoto on my new iPad2?

    I can't use Mpix and Shutterfly since they don't support Flash. Is there a way to order straight from iphoto? Or some other site I can use that doesn't use Flash where I can order prints?
    Thanks!

    When your iPad is connected, select your iPad under devices in iTunes. There will be a photos tab, and you can either sync everything or choose certain events/albums etc

  • How do I get photos from the iPhoto import folder to the iPhoto library?  It uploaded, but hung while deleting from my camera, so no imported photos are in the iPhoto library.

    How do I get photos from the iPhoto import folder to the iPhoto library?  It uploaded, but hung while deleting from my camera, so no imported photos are in the iPhoto library.  I watched it upload about 400 photos, one by one.  They're somewhere, but they don't appear in the iPhoto library. As iPhoto was deleting them from my camera, it got hung up, then a message came "you should eject before disconnecting a device."  I hadn't touched the camera.  The message came by itself.  I couldn't get iPhoto to respond, so I disconnected the camera and did a Force Quit.  Opening it back up, the pictures were gone.  Can somebody help me? 

    What version of iPhoto are you running?  Assuming it's iPhoto 9 or later Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    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 and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ 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 but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • How to get photos from iphoto back onto an SD card. I have a MacBook Pro with a built in SC card slot.

    How to get photos from iPhoto back onto a SD card. I have a MacBook Pro with built in SD card slot. I have tried "Export" but this does not work.

    It's best to export the photos to a folder and then drag the folder onto the memory card.  Memory cards are usually formatted for PCs, FAT 32, which doesn't permit more than a limited number of files in the root directory. Putting the photos in a folder gets around that limitation.
