How do I transfer edited NEF files from laptop to desktop without changing format or losing edits?

Hello,
While travelling last week I put approximately 3000 raw images on my MacBook Pro (Lightroom 4) and have edited many of them.  I am now home and would like to copy everything onto my desktop computer Mac OS X Yosemite (Version 10.10.2) with Lightroom 4.  I would like it to be excactly as it is on my laptop.  I don't want to have to edit again, catagorize by star, etc.  I would like it to be in Raw NEF format with my edits just like it is on my laptop - I just want it all on my desktop.  Can someone tell me how to do this?  I have a firewire and an external hard drive if needed.  Thank you!

Use your backup copy of your computer.
Type "move itunes library" into the Google search bar.  You will find instructions there.

    In iTunes with your iPhone connected, click on the iPhone device, select the Apps tab, scroll down to the File Sharing section and pick an app that plays Quicktimes ("Files Connect" works in this example, but I'm open to suggestions of better apps for playing transferred Quicktimes) and drag your Quicktime from Finder to the Documents pane for the File Sharing app.   Once the file transfer is complete, go to the app on your iPhone to play the Quicktime.

    How do I transfer a music file from my MacBook Pro to my iPhone?

    If you download Adode Reader (free but very limited) or GoodReader (many features) - you can use file sharing.
    Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes. Select the iPad on the left side under Devices. Click on the Apps tab in the iTunes window on the right. Scroll down to the File sharing apps window. Click on the file sharing app that you are using (Adobe Reader or GoodReader in this example). Drag the document from the desktop onto the file sharing window on the right side - or click on the add button in the lower right corner - and navigate to where the file is on the Mac and select it that way.

  • How can I transfer all my files from Mavericks Thunderbird to Mavericks Mail

    How can I transfer all my files from Mavericks Thunderbird to Mavericks Mail?
    Bonjour,
    C'est ma première intervention aussi je ne sais pas si je peux m'exprimer en français.
    Je tente!
    Lors du passage à Maveicks, j'ai basculé sur Thunderbird car je ne souhaitais pas utiliser POP mais Mail ne le permettait pas (du moins je n'ai pas réussi)
    Aujourd'hui, je souhaite revenir sur Mail et, pour celà, je dois rapatrier toutes mes données de messagerie depuis Thunderbird.
    J'utilise Imap et, pour gérer ma messagerie, j'ai créé des boîtes aux lettres dans Local Folsders
    Le passage par Eudora ne fonctionne pas avec Mavericks.
    L'import de boîtes aux lettres depuis Local Folders de Thunderbird (via le menu Fichier) ne permet de transférer qu'un seul courier par boîte aux lettres de Local Folders. Et c'est ce qui m'empêche de passer à Mail.
    Merci d'avance pour votre aide.

    Are you referencing your Photoshop image files, or Photoshop application files?
    If the latter, cease and desist at once!
    Always install Photoshop from scratch, from the original media: CD/DVD or download.
    If the former, please provide details:
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    Note that this is boilerplate text.
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    etc.,
    someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
    a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

  • How can i transfer my music files from iPad 2 to MacBook Pro?

    hello,
    I got my mp3 files from PC and transfer to iPad 2. it works good.
    And I want to transfer this mp3 files from iPad to MacBook Pro.
    I don't know how to do it and it seems like I should 'buy some tranfer program from other website'.
    Should it word that way? or iTunes program can't deal this issue?
    I have changed some music file information (such as Album, Artist, etc) of mp3 files in iPad from iTune in MacBook. Of course, the iPad was connected to the MacBook. However after I disconnected the iPad from the Mac, those changes were not shown in the iPad (edited album name, artist name...). When I connect the iPad to the Mac again, I can see the changes in iTune in the Mac.
    Another issue.

  • How do I transfer a pdf file from a mac to Z1?

    I'd like to transfer some pdf files from my macbook to my Z1 to read while commuting, but Bridge only seems to allow me to click music, videos and picture files. When I get to my pdf folder, the files are unclickable so I can't synch them. Is there any way around this?

    A simpler way download dropbox or box or upload the pdfs on Google Drive and then download them on  your phone, it will be a lot easier

    hello Lawrence1559, firefox does save all your bookmarks, settings and customizations into the so called [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data|profile folder]] .
    <br>you can copy the whole profile folder on your win xp computer like this:
    * press the windows-key+R and open: ''%appdata%\''
    * a windows explorer windows will open up with a folder named ''Mozilla'' in it - right-click and copy that folder and paste it onto a usb drive or any other way you can transfer it to your new computer.
    * on the windows 7 pc, repeat the windows-key+R shortcut and open: ''%appdata%\'' again.
    *copy the Mozilla folder from your backup into the %appdata% folder of your new pc.
    *you can now download and install firefox from getfirefox.com and should have the exact same setup as on your prior pc afterwards.

  • HOW DO I TRANSFER PC ITUNES FILES FROM WESTERN DIGITAL EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE TO NEW MACBOOK PRO?

    I AM VERY EXCITED ABOUT MY NEW MACBOOK PRO AND ITS SUPPOSE TO BE HERE TOMORROW! THERE IS ONE MAJOR CONCERN I HAVE THOUGH, I HAVE ALL MY MUSIC FILES ON MY WESTERN DIGITAL ELEMENTS HARD DRIVE (1TB). THE HD IS FORMATTED FOR WINDOWS THOUGH. I WATCHED YOUTUBE VIDEOS ON HOW TO REFORMAT THE HD TO MAC BUT IT ERASES EVERYTHING OFF THE HD. SO TWO QUESTIONS,
    1.HOW DO I TAKE MUSIC OFF OF MY EXTERNAL HD AND PUT IT ON MY NEW MAC EVEN THOUGH ITS WINDOWS FORMAT AND NOT HAVE IT ERASED WHEN I FORMAT TO MAC?
    2. HOW DO I REFORMAT THE EXTERNAL HD FROM PC TO MAC AND WHAT OPTION SHOULD I SELECT?
    THANKS

    I'm very glad your excited about getting your first Mac.
    On the Internet, it's not polite to use ALL CAPS BECAUSE IT MEANS YOUR SHOUTING!!!
    So with that out of the way.

    First your Mac is going to need to read the external drive.
    Mac's can read exFAT (since 10.6.5), FAT32 and HFS+ (Mac format) external drives.
    I'm going to assume your drive is formatted NTFS, the Windows format that is also on the boot drive of Windows machines.
    For that your need to install a free piece of software on the Mac here (bookmark this page!)
    NTFS Mounter (for WindowsNTFSdrives)
    That will allow your Mac to read the NTFS formatted drive.  You then get all your files off that you want to save.

     2. HOW DO I REFORMAT THE EXTERNAL HD FROM PC TO MAC AND WHAT OPTION SHOULD I SELECT?
    Once you have gotten all your files off, in the Applications/Utilities folder on the Mac is a program called Disk Utility and it looks like this.
    You select your external drive on the left and click Erase > Format > exFAT and click Erase. A warning will pop up and you say ok.
    The exFAT format can be read on both Windows PC's and Mac's. Allows for large file sizes over 4GB.
    Now this format is for going between Windows and a Mac. Windows Vista and 7 can read this format fine, if you have XP you need to download a free update for exFAT from Microsoft (its easy to find, just search for  "exFAT XP microsoft")
    Now! however there has been one report that the exFAT formatted on a Mac didn't work on the PC. So if that happens, just format the drive exFAT on Windows first, then the Mac should see it. So check first before doing anything and have a copy of the data elsewhere just in case.
    Now if you intend to use the external drive for TimeMachine or a Carbon Copy Cloner/Superduper clone (like "Ghosting") of the OS X boot drive, then you need to format the drive HFS+ journaled in Disk Utility and it cant' be read natively in most cases by a PC unless you install adiditonal software on the PC. (and likely the PC can't read a TimeMachine drive, I don't know I haven't tried it, so your on your own on that)
