How do I move my pictures from iphoto on my mac book to iphoto on my new Desktop?

I am not sure what how to transfer all my pictures from iphoto on my old mac book to my new desktop computer. Any help would be appreicated.

To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
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.

    Sindbad. A suggestion, to let us know all the specifics of your machine: go the the help menu, and select System Info...
    Copy the contents, and paste it in an answer there.
    You might want to remove your serial number.
    Thanks to that we will know: the exact version of Photoshop, your memory, where Photoshop is installed, the graphic card and its drivers, and also if you are using third party plug-ins.
    Some other users reported that when launching Photoshop holding down the shift key (this disables the plug-ins), he was able to see the images.
    The solution in that case is to search for updated plug-ins (or to report the plug-in manufacturers that their plug-ins causes issues in Photoshop.

    You need to go to ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Images and Control-click on each file and open it using Preview. Then you can export the image if you choose. Just keep in mind that these will be thumbnail quality, so don't expect large images, either in file size or physical size.

  • How do I move my pictures from I-Photo albums to a usb drive?

    I am trying to move my pictures (in albums) from my MacBook Pro I-Photo to a USB drive so that I can show them on my new digital frame.  How do I do it?  And I somehow lost my icon for I-photo on the bottom of my screen....

    1 - select the photo(s) in iPhoto and export (file menu ==> export) to a desktop folder - mount the USB drive and drag that folder to it.  I usually use the export custom size option to limit teh photo to the maximum pixel dimension of the photo frame letting me have more photos on the USB drive
    2 - to restore the iPhoto icon in the dock launch iPhoto from the Applications folder and right click on the icon in the Dock sleecting keep in Dock

  • How to transfer pictures from my cellphone onto mac book pro

    How do I transfer pictures from my cell phone unto my macbook pro?

    What Cell phone do you have? I have the LG Lucid phone which is an android phone and just use the usb cable to transfer the files. I also have dropbox that I will use from time to time as well. I have to set the connectivity setting to Mass Storage to be able to transfer files and photos. The media sync option only works if you have Windows. When I first plug the phone in, Mac will tell me that the device is not compatible and will ask if I want to eject or ignore it. When the phone is first plugged in, it tries to run as an installer so Mac doesn't like it. Once I ignore it, the phone then becomes a storage device and will show both the internal and the external SD card on my desktop. I can then use the standard copy and paste methods to move files from the phone to the drive or you can use iPhoto or other photo progams to copy them. I have picassa on the system that I use to get photos.

  • Can i move pictures from my icloud to mac book?

    I have a ton of pictures on icloud.  Can they be moved to a Mac Book?

    Your Mac must be running OS X Lion (10.7.2) and you must have iPhoto 9.2 or higher or Aperture 3.2 or higher in order to receive photo stream photos on your Mac.  If you do, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign into your account and check Photo Stream.
    If your Mac doesn't have these, save the photos to your camera roll on your iOS device (unless they are already there) by opening the My Photo Stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.  Once they are in your camera roll, then can be imported to iPhoto using your USB cable as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
    Another option is use an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your Mac using your wifi.  The app will also keep track of which photos have already been transferred making it easy to transfer new photos to your Mac at a later point in time.
    Also, whenever possible transfer the photos while they are still in your camera roll.  The originals in the camera roll will be a higher resolution than the photo stream versions.

  • How do I move the pictures from iphoto to my desktop?

    I just imported my pictures to iphoto but am trying to put them on a website.  How do i do that?

    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:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    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.
    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.    3.b.
    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.
