How do I move photos from the library of one MAC to the library of another MAC?

I have down loaded over 500 picture from a recent vacation to my MacBook I-Photo Library.  Now I want to duplicate those photos on my family's main IMac.  How do I move those photos from the MacBook I-Photo Library to the iMac I-Photo library?
Thanks,

There's another app that can move photos between libraries (but not keywords or other metadata): SyncPhotos
Here's how it works: 
1 - it compares the databases and/or album.xml files of Libraries A and B. 
2 - the files in A that are not in B are imported into B by copying the original files from A into B's Import folder.  
3 - it then does the same for B. 
4 - metadata is not copied. 
It can be used to just copy from A to B and not sync both ways if desired. It will work with 2 libraries that are different versions, i.e. between an iPhoto 08 and iPhoto 09 library.

    Currently I Export to a new temporary library which I import to the other library but It feels kind of a hackish way to do it.

    That is the way it is set-up to be done (at least for Projects as Libraries).
    The only other option is to export master or version (depending on what you want) and then import to other library.

  • How do i move photos from photo library to camera roll

    how do i move photos from photo library to camera roll on ipod touch 4th generation

    I also had a similar problem with "photo library" and wondered how to do about copying my photos there to my computer. I was delighted when i succeeded moving my photos from my iphone4s "Photo library" to my "camera roll".
    I could do it using 3 apps: 1) fileExplorer 2) fileapp 3) dropbox
    Downloading these apps on my iphone devide and then Using 1) I was able to see my albums in "photolibrary" and open it in either 2) or 3). Opening it up in 2) fileapp, will give you the option to save in "camera roll" with the top right hand corner button. 
    After saving it in camera roll, I will be able to easily copy them out from camera roll from DCIM folder onto your computer.
    I am not a comp savvy person, and I managed.

    Do you want to copy some pictures to the external drive, or do you want to move your whole iPhoto library? The latter will free up hard drive space on your start up disk; the procedure is explained here:

    Note this is not the same as a Time Machine backup.
    If on the other hand you want to copy some photos from one drive to another, you can just drag and drop them from one location to another. This is a true copy, the originals will remain intact.

    You cannot drag pics from computer to iphone.  This has never been a feature of iphone.
    You sync them as you would anything esle.
    You select photos from the photos tab.  Whatever is selected will be on your iphone.  Anything not selected will not be. Make sure that everything you want on your iphone is selected, then sync.

  • Hi: How do I move photos from iphoto to the "pictures" file?

    Hi: How do I move photos from iphoto into the Pictures file? I just purchased a digital camera and the software is only available for photos in the pictures file. Thanks.

    What camera and software is it and why do you want to use it instead of iPhoto? Is this software that came with the camera?  You don't need to use it as iPhoto is all you need. That software is not compatible with iPhoto so you would have to abandon iPhoto if you want to use the camera's software.

    How do I move photos from imovie to iphoto?

    You cannot put photos in a trailer. They are designed for videos.
    However, there is a way around this.
    Go to the Project Library view. Select your Trailer. Now, click FILE/CONVERT TO PROJECT.
    Now you can add photos.

  • How do I move photos from iPhoto to new PC or Mac?

    We are in the market for a new computer.  I want a Mac (of course!) but my husband and our budget are more comfortable with a PC.  My question is how do we move photos from our old Mac to a new comp?  Can it be done via a network?  I assume it is easier from Mac to Mac.  We do not have an external hard drive and our old comp is very outdated.  The version of iPhoto used is 6.0.6 and OS is OS X, 10.4.11.  We cannot do any further updating to either the application or OS.  We do have both an iPod and iPad but neither can even be synced with this current computer!  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks

    For a PC select all photos in iPhoto and export to a desktop folder. Move that folder to the PC
    For a Mac copy the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the pictures folder of the new Mac
    The connection can be a network, a cable or even an external hard drive you move to the new system or a DVD if it will hold everything

    Or if you want to, you can keep the images in iPhoto and move the Library to an external:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
