How do i transfer iphoto from Mac laptop to iMac?
We have approx 7000 photos on our G4 powerbook. We have recently bought a brand new iMac OS X 10.5 and want to upload our old photo library to our new.
We backed up our laptop iphoto library to external hard drive in Sept 07. So I connected the ext. hard drive to the iMac and imported via "import to library". I noticed at the time that the photos flashing up on the screen as they uploaded were in a rather random order, but crossed my fingers and hoped. Then I went back to the laptop and updated the hard drive with the photos from Sept 07 onwards and uploaded those to the new iMac too.
My problem is this, the photos in our new iphoto application now seem to be in totally the wrong order, and quite random at that.
How do I fix the problem, does it involved deleting the imac photo library and starting again, or is there another way?
Thanks
The correct way to move you iPhoto library is to copy it to the pictures folder on your new computer (the new iMac - congradulations!) - not to import it
So if you have the library that you want to move intact then trash the iPhoto library from the pictures folder on your iMac (If you want to be safe drag it to the desktop to save it until you complete the move and test it then trash the desktop copy) and copy the library you want on the iMac to the iP+Mac pictures folder and launch iPhoto - it will open that library, upgrade it as required and you will be set
LN
PS - when you import an old library you will get at least two copies of all photos (the original high resolution and the thumbnail) and for modified photos at third modified copy - not what you want

How can I transfer videos from my laptop to my iPhone 5c
This way should fix the issue about how to transfer photos from laptop to iPhone 4s.
1. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed.
2. In iTunes, select your device's icon in the Devices list on the left.
3. Click the Photos tab.
4. Choose "Sync photos from."
On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
Note: Some versions of Photoshop Album and Photoshop Elements don't support collections. You can still use them to sync all your photos.
5. If you want to sync all your photos, enable the option for "All photos, albums, events, and faces." If you want to sync photos from only some albums, events, or faces, enable the option for "Selected albums, events, and faces" and then select the albums you want. If syncing on a Mac with iPhoto version 6.0.6 or later, you may enable the option to "Include videos" to sync videos directly from iPhoto to your device. (Requires iOS 3.0 or later).
6. Click Apply. -

How do I transfer itunes from one laptop to another
How do I transfer itunes from one laptop to another?
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168
Windows users see tip at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18879381
If you put it in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music (or wherever the equivalent is on Windows) then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.) -

The same way you sync music, apps.
iTunes syncs music, video, photos, and more, between your computer and iPhone. Changes you make on one device are copied to the other when you sync. You can also use iTunes to sync files and documents. See Sync with iTunes. -

How do I transfer documents from my laptop to my iPad?
How do I transfer documents from my laptop to my iPad?
Copied from the online help site for Documents 2 .....
Opening a Document
To open an existing document for viewing or editing, tap the document title in My Documents. If your document is in a folder, tap the folder name first.
Here is the help site.
http://www.savysoda.com/Documents2/Help.html
While the app description states that you can edit many file types - when viewing the detailed description further down on the app store description page - it really does not specifically state that you can edit Word Files. It lists all the files that you can preview, but doesnt actually address the files that you can edit. It mentions the text editor feature but not the files that you can edit. It's a bit confusing to me IMO.
The online help site does describe editing spreadsheets. -

How do I transfer photos from my laptop to iPad it's saying not responding or disconnected iPad is connected to laptop and Internet network
Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
