Copy the Library over manually.
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.

Hi, I've just bought a new Macbook Pro and started migrating from PC but the remaining time is about 70 hours long, I just wanted to know if that timing is normal and if not, does leaving running my MacBook that time can affect it?
70 hours... no, it's not normal but it can't hurt your Mac to be running for that amount of time.

From your OLD computer...
Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
Full Details Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.
Also... Have a look at these 2 Videos...

I just got a new MacBook Pro, and I tried to bring across my files from my last mac using time machine. After it was done copying I can't find my files anywhere but the space (about 130gb) has been used on my hard drive. Does anyone know how I can get to them? I did change my user name from 'user' while it was copying, could this have something to do with it?
You don't want to do that by copying.
Your best bet, by far, is to use Setup Assistant. If your Mac is running Snow Leopard, see Using Setup Assistant on Snow Leopard or Leopard.
If it came with Lion, it's a bit different: Using Setup Assistant on Lion -

Daughter's homework assignment needs adobe flash plug in. Just got my new MacBook Pro and scare to download program if it compromises the security of laptop. What do I do in this situation?
OS X will automatically block versions of Flash that are known to be unsafe. As long as Flash is kept up to date, it's reasonably safe. You can minimize your exposure to Flash content by installing the "ClickToFlash" or "ClickToPlugin" Safari extension. Flash elements will then load only when clicked.

Hi,
Im a new Mac user. I currently just bought a new MacBook Pro. The first computer I got apparently had a problem with the flex, so I had to go change it for a new one. The first one had the latest operating system, the second one the store gave me didn't, yet it's still a brand new computer, so I don't see why I should have to pay for the new operating system, which should already come with my brand new computer. So I am trying to contact apple so they may give me permission to download it from the app store for free, due to this inconvenience and first bad experience. The vendor tells me that sometimes new computers may come with old operating systems because they're from an old batch of new computers. Oh and by the way, I'm from Honduras, and bought it at Jetstereo, in Tegucigalpa (the capital). This store is a licensed distributor.
Hope someone can help me,

I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs. -
with my purchase of the new macbook pro i have been unable to upload any music from my iphone or any other details except from my pictures. I tried to set up the icloud but i am having difficulties doing so as all my music on my phone is under an old shared account and on my laptop i have a new account specifically for me which has also been newly uploaded onto my phone with the £70 voucher.

I have just got a new mac book pro. When I synced my iphone 4s with it my audible book files were deleted from my phone though they are on the computer still. A pop up said my iphone was not authorised to play on this computer. Everything else is there just not my audio books from Audible. I'm half way through a book, what do I do?
The iphone is not a backup device.
You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one. -
When switching to my new MacBook Pro, it will not let me display the titles of the icons as it has in my other Macbooks. In my new Macbook it will either:
a) cut off the title and inssert three dots
For example,
"Graduate School Info" will become "Gradua..nfo"
OR
b) it will cut off the word and put it underneath
For example,
"Publications" will become
"Publicatio
ns"
I am not sure how to change the settings so that it can allow more room to display the titles of the icons/folders the way I would like them to be displayed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Best,

I have a new MacBook pro that will not turn on as the battery is no longer green. It turns orange why is that ? I have it plugged into an outlet with the charger as always and it was always green before?
The adapter light will always turn orange when your machine is charging. It will go back to green when the battery is fully charged.
Nothing to worry about.

I just got a new macbook pro and I had a question about sleep vs off.
When do you turn it off? i hear from alot of people that they never turn it off, rather they keep it on sleep mode, even overnight. What os the best for your macbook?
One of the reasons that people just sleep it is that OS X is based on the Unix operating system, which was designed for servers, which means the OS was designed to be run 24/7. It has no problem with not being shut down in weeks.
And in fact that's how I run my Macs. They stay up for weeks, sleeping at night, often they are only restarted if a software update requires it.
Avoiding a full shutdown has many practical benefits too. You can leave many apps and documents open when you sleep it, and when you wake it, all your work and logins are already open and waiting for you.
In other words, taking advantage of sleep means you have an "instant-on" computer. You don't need to care how long it takes a computer to boot up, if you hardly ever boot up, and if your own wake-to-work time is basically one or two seconds with no need to re-open anything.
I and many other Mac users have successfully used sleep-only habits during extended travel. At least a couple times I have left on a trip, carried my MacBook Pro on a plane, across continents and oceans, and trains and buses and walking, and all the way back home, in a single OS X uptime session, never restarting or shutting it down at all. (Although sleeping it during transport, of course.)
