How do you copy photos from one iMac's iPhoto library to another iMac's iPhoto library??

I have 20K+ photos on my original iMac and enjoy the desktop shuffle of pictures.  I have a newer iMac that has its own library of pictures but I would really like to take all of the pictures from the original iMac and put them on the newer one.  I have a wireless network with an Airport Extreme that both machines are on.  Both machines are running Leopard.  Same versions of iPhoto 11, 9.2.2.  I have an iPad that has all of the pictures on it and that I sync on the older iMac.  When I tried to connect my iPad on the newer iMac in hopes that it would upload the pictures, iTunes gave me warnings about the device not being synced, erasing the library, etc., so I immediately ejected the iPad.  I have all these options for copying the data from one machine to the other but can't seem to make any of them work.  Any ideas?

Thanks, Larry, I'll look into the iPhoto Library Manager.  I've downloaded the free trial to get a feel for it.  My large photo library is 85GB and I want to avoid having to buy an external drive just to make this one move.  My iDisk is about 20 GB so I would be doing 5 exports to get it all done.  I guess what I really need to do is understand my network a bit better and see how I can transfer this across my lines.  I appreciate your quick response!

  • How do you copy automation from one track to another?

    How do you copy automation from one track to another? Occassionally I mistakenly blow away a track's automation. I open up an earlier version of the song to try to get the automation. It doesn't seem that you can copy and paste the data. After some struggle, I find a way. Is there an easy way?

    1. Copy the track containing the desired automation to another track. (create a track below it to keep things organized)
    2. Double click on the region and delete the notes.
    3. Now copy the region to the desired track.
    P.S. Of course when Logic asks if you want to copy the automation data you say yes)

  • How can you transfer photos from one phone to another

    How can you transfer photos from phone to phone

    If you are trying to get all the photos from an old phone to your new phone, you could sync the old phone which would create a backup containing your Camera Roll. Then connect the new phone and follow the prompts to register and name your new phone. You will then be given the choice of restoring data to your new phone from a backup of the old phone. This will replace any existing data on the new phone with the data from the backup so it's really the best option if the other phone is new.
    Another option would be to connect the phone to your computer and import your photos to iPhoto or the My Pictures folder. Then you could sync the other phone and under the Photos tab in iTunes you could choose the folders/albums of pictures you want on the phone. They will not be in the Camera Roll, but they will be on the phone.
    I hope this helps.

  • PSE12 Organizer - can you copy photo from one folder to another and import copy into Organizer and still have original in other folder

    I have been using folders to organize all my pictures and I will copy photos from folder to folder, often having them in 2 or 3 folders based on use.  I tried to copy a photo in Organizer PSE12 from one folder to another and you can only move it, that means I can only have one copy of the photo.  That is fine if I am using tags and want to search for it, but I want to have mult copies in mult folders. Organizer will recognize that it is there but it won't import it into the new folder. Until I move it, it stays in the original folder.  I can drag it out of Organizer and drop (copy) it into a new folder fine, but it won't show in organizer in the new folder.  Is there any way to copy and have multiple copies show up in multiple folders?

    Hi,
    The organizer works on the principle of not having multiple copies of the same photo.
    If you have multiple copies spread in different folders, then making changes to one doesn't affect the others. The use of tags and albums are there to give different views of your photos.
    You can't have multiple copies with exactly the same name even if they are in different folders. You could select a photo and duplicate it (File -> Duplicate) and then move the copy into a different folder but the name will be different.
    If you want different folders for a specific reason, it is possible to use albums to collect the group of photos and then export them to a new folder outside of the organizer. You can also rename on export which is useful if you want to arrange the photos in a specific order.
    Hope that helps a bit.

  • How can you copy properities from one object to another?

    If you create a number of boxes and then decided to change the color of all of them (or add a stroke, shadow, etc), is there a way to copy your style from one to the others?  In Photoshop you can copy layer styles, so you don't have to re-do everything for every layer you want the styles to be on.  How is this done in InDesign (CS3)?
    Thanks.

    From the object styles panel. Click on the object, define style (new object style), click on the next object, apply that new style. Even quicker than copy/paste. Then, if you make a change to the style, all objects are updated. Just want to do one?  Alter the object itself (and create a new style while you're at it ).

  • How do you move photos from one library to another in iPhoto 9.4.3

    I have half 2009 photos in one library and the other half in a different library.  I'd like to move several photos to one of the libraries to make a photo book.  How do I do this?

    use iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - 
    Otherwise you can move the image and selected metadate by exporting form one library and importing into th eother
    FWIW it is almost always better to have a single iPhoto library with all of your photos in it

  • How do you move photos from one album to another?

    I imported a few photos from my iphone 4 into my new ipad using Bump. The ipad put these photos into an album. I'd like to be able to organize some of these into different albums and also name the albums. I don't want to sync all my photos from my phone...there are way too many so I kept sync photos unchecked in itunes. Is there a way to do this on the ipad itself without any outside help?
    Thank you

    There is no way to do what you are asking. 
    Organizing photos takes place on your computer, not the iPad.

    I don't think you can copy layers – at least not in the
    way you are thinking.
    But you can select frames or a range of frames and then
    copy/cut frames.
    In the new document you can then paste frames. It has a lot
    of variations depending upon how you many you copy, if there are
    multiple layers, what area you select before pasting and so on. It
    would take a lot to describe and I'm not sure I would describe it
    properly.
    Generally just give it a try and get an intuitive feel for
    it. The choices are available from the Edit menu but also from a
    right click.
    It is also possible to slect and edit multiple frames so if
    you do need to move a bunch of things on different key frames that
    is also possible.

  • How do you drag pages from one PDF to replace pages in another?

    In Acrobat Pro CS2 for Macintosh you could drag one or more pages from one PDF, and choose whether to insert them into another PDF, or replace pages in the other PDF.
    To insert them you dropped the dragged pages between two pages in the Pages panel.
    To replace pages in the other PDF you dropped the dragged pages onto a page in the Pages panel.
    I recently upgraded to Acrobat CS5, and this no longer seems to work. All you can do is insert.
    Of course I can then delete the pages I wanted to replace, but it's now much less convenient, and there's more opportunity for error.
    Am I missing something, or has this feature really been removed between CS2 and CS5?

    You still can but you have to press command + option when you cursor is hovering over the page you want to replace. A blue border will appear around the page.
    So select the new page you are bringing in, drag it over to your main document, keeping the mouse pressed down. Hover over the page you want to replace and press command + option. A blue box will appear around the page. Let go of the mouse and you will get your confirmation message. Press OK, and you are good to go.
