How do I move my event photos to iPhoto onto new Macbook pro

I have my old iPhoto event photos on my iPhone 4 and I want to move them onto iPhoto on my Macbook Pro, which has OS X Mountain Lion.  When I plug in my phone, it prompts saying that I will lose my photos on my phone.  How do I move my old event photos I got from my old iPhoto to my new iPhoto? I also don't have my old computer where my photos came from.

I just got my mac pro yesterday.
Apple provides a number of very helpful tutorials - in the right hand column of this page - http://www.apple.com/startpage/
I'm not sure how to move my photo booth pictures to my pictures folder and iphoto..?
By default your Photo booth pictures are in the photo booth folder in the the pictures folder - if you move them from there then Photo Booth will not see them
When I move them I want to organize them how I usually did on windows. Very neat & organized.
That is fine - but if you want to view them in Photo Booth you need to leave them where it knows about them. And once you import them into iPhoto you must leave the copies (done by default and strongly recommended - especially for new users) inside the iPhoto library alone - you must never make any changes of any sort to the contents of the iPhoto library
I'm freaking out because I tried dragging them...I don't really know what I did but there's doubles of all of them in my All Documents folder and only one in my pictures folder.
I don't know what you did either - dragging files to a new location on the same volume moves the file - dragging it to a different volume copies the file
I don't like not being able to put the things where I want them to go easily!
You can - but you do need to learn how to use any new system or new software - and you have both a new system and new software - you need to learn it
The answer to your subject is to open the photo booth folder and drag the photos to iPhoto - it will import them into iPhoto and take care of them there - after importing you can do what you want with the photos outside of iPhoto

  • How do I move folders and albums in iPhoto on my MacBook Pro to my ipad?

    How do I move folders and albums in iPhoto on my MacBook Pro to a new iPad Air?

    To sync photos, connect your iPad to your Mac and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your Mac's iTunes (you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac), 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 albums/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.

    It's not completely obvious. What you have to do in Spaces is to position your cursor to the upper right of the screen, after which faint + (plus) sign appears in that area. Click that, upon which another Desktop will appear.
    The + may be difficult or impossible to see with some desktop backgrounds (black, for instance):

  • Using Migration Assistant to move files from old PC laptop to new MacBook Pro that has Windows 8 installed containing Outlook

    When using Migration Assistant to move files from old PC laptop to new MacBook Pro, that has Windows 8 installed containing Outlook, will emails, contacts and calendar entries be moved to Outlook on the new MacBook or into Mail, Contacts and Calendar?

    I doubt they will. But then I'm not sure as I used a migration program once about 18 years ago and totally FUBARed the system I had at that time and I've never used one again.
    For me the reason to have a new system is to start fresh. Installing only program that I now use and manually copying data over from the older system.
    Not sure your older version of Outlook, and the outlook mail boxes, are compatible with Office/Outlook for Mac 2011.
    A better place to ask this question would be on the MS Office for Mac forums.
    Hope it all works out for you.

    What are the different ways to back up your photos from iphoto using a MacBook Pro which does not have a disk drive?

    Note - that no internet backup service has been proven to be safe and effective for backing up the iPhoto library - unless you personally have backup uyp an iPhoto library and restored it sucussfuly form one it should not be recommended - a large number of people have lost their photos trying it

    Hi Martin,
    MobileMe Mail Help: Setting up Mac OS X Mail to receive your MobileMe email
    The steps you follow to set up Mac OS X Mail to receive your MobileMe email depend on which version of Mac OS you’re using.
    Important: For the instruction below, use the following: MobileMe Mail’s incoming mail server is “mail.me.com” and the outgoing mail server it “smtp.me.com.”
    To set up Mac OS X Mail to receive MobileMe mail:
    If you’re using Mac OS X version 10.4.11 or later
    Open System Preferences (under the Apple icon at the upper-left of your computer screen).
    Click MobileMe (if you have Mac OS X version 10.5.3 or later), or .Mac (if using version 10.4.11 to 10.5.2), and enter your MobileMe member name and password.
    Open Mac OS X Mail, choose Mail > Preferences, and then click Accounts.
    Click the Add button at the lower-left of the Accounts pane. Choose MobileMe from the Account Type pop-up menu, and then enter your account information.
    The member name and password you use for SMTP authentication must match the member name and password in the User Name and Password fields.
    To switch to POP, delete the existing IMAP account before you create the new POP account. Choose POP Account from the Account Type pop-up menu instead of MobileMe Account.

    How do i put apps from my iPad 2 onto my macbook pro?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you mean to back them up, just connect the device to iTunes and sync.
    If you mean to use, you can't, those apps will only run on a mobile device.

    Dell's drivers are only for Windows. If you can find out who makes the printer and what model it is, then you may be able to find OS X drivers for it. Or you can see how well it works using the Generic driver.

    Only by dropping the resolution in the System Preferences which has limited results.
    With Safari there isn't a whole lot of choices, just a increase in the text on web pages which doesn't hold and tends to distort pages.
    A better option for surfing is Firefox and the Add-ons: NoSquint and Theme Font & Size Changer.
    NoSquint puts two zoom in/out buttons on the toolbar, you can set a global whole web page increase (not just type) and best of all it remembers that zoom setting for that site forever (unless you clear it out)
    Now the other Add-on: Theme Font & Size Changer, allows you to increase the font size of Firefox itself, so the text buttons, google search bar and URL bar is all at a increased font size, making it easier to read.
    On my 17" I got Firefox font size set at a 24 pt and web pages globally set of a defualt zoom of 170%, which appears to me to be twice the size of the type in OS X.
    I also have a deep blue Firefox "persona" that colors the toolbar area, with white type the contrast makes it easier to read for me as well.

  • Please help with updated info how to Move iTunes 10.5.2 to a new MacBook Pro

    With Christmas fast approaching, and new MAC computers being left under the tree, I would find it helpful for an update as to how best to move my son's iTunes library from my iMac (late 2011 version with Lion) which he is sharing to his new MacBook Pro (Early 2011 with Lion upgrade) . There is a lot of old information floating around on how to do this with prior versions of iTunes, but with iCloud and Apps now in the cloud I would like someone knowledgeable to update me and the community with the best way to do this for the latest versions of iTunes running on Lion. He also has his iPhone 4 synched with his account on my iMac and would like to deauthorize his iTunes on my iMac and have him sync on his new computer as well.   I know it is probably hidden among the forums somewhere, but with a lot of people upgrading to new computers, it would be helpful for a refresher on this thread. Thanks!
