  • I have a mac book and I want to transfer my pics in iPhoto to my new iMac how do I do this without migration

    Can someone please help me? I just purchased a new Imac and I need to transfer my iphot pics from my macbook to the Imac

    All the Photos in your macbook are in iphoto Library. Navigate to PICTURES FOLDER then, right click "iPhoto Lib" then select SHOW Package Contents. your photos are in the MASTERS Folder.
    Or you can copy the entire iphoto Library in the Pictures folder and place it in your new imac pictures folder.
    you can use an external hard drive, SD Card or burn to CD.
    Another option is to connect macbook to iMac and boot macbook in target disk mode so that you can access your laptop as an external drive.

    As I said, I don't use Time Machine, so it'd be best to wait for an "expert" answer, but, with my very limited knowledge, I'd say: probably not - so, for now, I'd suggest you read up on Time Machine:

    And, you might be attracting more knowledgeable answers if you were to post this question in the Time Machine Forum (part of the Snow Leopard forums).

  • I just bought an imac and want to transfer all my music from an iphone to imac - how is this done please

    i just bought an imac and want to transfer all my music from an iphone to imac - how is this done please

    1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
    also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

    I want to amend the Itunes name for each IPOD we own. How is this done?

    Do you mean the name of the iPod? For example "John's iPod touch"
    If you have iOS 5 or later, you can change the name from "Settings --> General --> About. Tap on "Name" and enter a new name.
    With iOS 4, connect the iPod to iTunes, and click the name for the iPod in iTunes in order to change it.

    - iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    - iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Copy/move the iPod backup file from the old to new computer.  That file is located here and you may have to have show hidden files turned on.
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    - After all the stuff in on your new computer, restore the iPod from backup.

  • I own a copy of Aperture. my hard drive crashed and i want to load aperture onto my new imac. how do i do it?

    I own a copy of Aperture. my hard drive crashed and I want to reoad aperture onto my new imac. how do i do it?

    Depends on how you bought Aperture to begin with..
    If you bought it from the Mac App Store simply log in to the MAS using the same Apple ID you used to buy it and download it
    If you bought Aperture on DVD you will need to install from the DVD using the serial number you received with the DVD package.
    If you bought Aperture through a digital download prior to the MAS, say a trial version you upgraded, things get a bit more complicated. You will need to install from the original DMG package file you downloaded and use the serial number Apple set you went you purchased it.

    iPhone 4S photos on the info tab of iPhoto are 3,1Mpx. How I change the camera to 8Mpx?

    Zoom out.
    There are not settings to control the image quality, the device always takes the largest image possible.  Zooming in will cause the image to be a lower resolution.

  • Photo size reduced after transfer of iphoto library

    I transferred my iphoto library to new MacBook and now the photos are smaller when I open them.  The information page shows that they are the same size as the original but they do not show up the same when I click on the image?  Not sure what has happened or how to fix it.  I had the library on an MacBook air (2012) and moved the iphoto library to an external disc and then to a new MacBook.  I do not want to transfer everything from the Air, just the photo library and both machines are running Yosemite version 10.10.1

    Do you still have access to the other Mac and the library you copied?  If so open iPhoto on it, open one of the problem photos and check it's pixel dimensions.  Do they match or are they different?
    What version of iPhoto is on the other Mac?

  • How do I transfer my photos and music from windows format iPod to my new iMac

    I have just purchased a new imac and want to transfer my photo's and music from my windows formatted ipod to the imac, can you help? is there a download that can do this transfer?

    Fortunately, you are going from Windows to Mac.  Macs can use the Windows disk format, so your iMac can read data off of your Windows-formatted iPod.  The reverse would not be true, because a Windows PC cannot read data off of a Mac-formatted iPod.
    However, iTunes syncing is generally in one direction only, from the computer's iTunes library to the iPod.  You cannot use iTunes to sync song files from iPod to computer.  But there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer song files from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.  (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
    Once the songs files are on your iMac's drive, you can add them to your new iTunes library.
    NOTE:  Ideally, you should transfer your complete iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer.  If that is possible (you still have access to your old computer with its iTunes library intact), and want to try that (instead of using your iPod as the data source), you can post back.
    Photos are different.  When iTunes syncs photos to the iPod, they are optimized for the iPod's small screen and stored in a single database file (to save storage space in iPod).  Therefore, the images are at lower resolution on the iPod, and there is no way to extract individual photos from the database using software on your iMac.  The only exception is IF you had a setting enabled in iTunes when you synced the photos to the iPod.  That setting is on the iPod's Photos screen in iTunes (where you set up syncing for photos) for Include full resolution photos when syncing.  If that option was checked, you can enable disk use for the iPod and look in the Photos folder using Finder to retrieve the photos. 
    NOTE:  There may be third-party software that can extract individual photos from the iPod's database file.  But they will still be the lower res versions of the original photos.

  • Apertrure or iPhoto on a new iMac? Photo Storage? HELP!

    I just purchased a new 27" iMac and before I did anything, I upgraded to Mavericks on a clean install out of the box.  My "old" computer is a first generation Intel iMac (Jan 2006) running Snow Leopard.  The internal 250GB hard drive was becoming labored with files, so I stored all of my photos, videos, and music on an external hard drive and simply directed my respective programs to look for their libraries on that hard drive. Made a MASSIVE difference on the computer and it ran wonderfully all along due to a light load on that internal drive.
    Since the new iMac has a 1TB internal drive, I thought I would put everything ON the internal hard drive and just use the 1.5 TB Drive as a backup.  Importing photos to iPhoto has proved to be a rediculous nightmare with Faces and quadruplicates of pictures.  I have just dumped the whole file and want to start over from scratch. 
    My question is this:  I have intentions of downloading Aperture anyways.... should I just download it and use it as my primary, by importing all pictures off my external drive into Aperture, then direct iPhoto to look at my Aperture library?  I have nearly 50,000 pictures to put on the computer so I can start to clean them out.  One of the BIGGEST complaints of iPhoto is Faces.  What a mess!  Another reason to want Aperture even more so I can disable that!  I was also thinking of just directing the libraries to look at the external again and getting ANOTHER external drive for JUST Time Machine backups.
    So many choices.... don't know which way to turn.  Any advice? 
    (and NO, I don't want to hear how crazy I am to have or want to import 50,000 photos..... which, with Faces and unruly duplicates became 275,000 files transfered.  Ugh.)

    . I am leaning towards upgrading the existing library using iPhoto, then when we get REALLY bold, have Aperture look at the library........... 
    Aperture has better tools to organize your photo library than iPhoto. For example, you can structure your projects (aka "events" in iPhoto) by putting related projects in a hierarchical structure of folders. And yes, you can decide, if you want to use faces, places, previews. You can delete faces, that have been created in iPhoto.
    You will want to save as much of your previous work, but start with a new, clean design for your Aperture library, that will be easily mainained and suffice for many years. these goals are a bit in conflict.
    If you want to eat the cake, but have it too, start your Aperture library with two folders for projects - old and new. Import the iPhoto library into the "old"  folder, and build the structure in the "new" folder according to your new design by moving items between these two folder sets. Importing the iPhoto Library will save all your edits and tags like Andy recommended, and keeping the imported projects/events in a separate folder, will help you to build a new structure from it.
    These two user tips might help you decide on a design for your new Aperture library:
