I would like to copy my entire iMac hard drive onto an external hard drive,
i would like to comy about 15000 pics, or the entire hard drives contents onto a seagate external hard drive, is there a simple way?
If you're not trying to copy a bootable Mac OS X system, you can just drag all of the folders over. If you are, you need to use a program such as the Disk Utility, Carbon Copy Cloner, or SuperDuper.

i just purchased a new 21.5 iMac and would like to copy my iPhoto from my old iMac's time capsule can anyone help me ?
You might consider restoring to factory specs, as detailed in the booklet that shipped witht the machine, using the Setup Assistant on first boot, and then reinstalling those new programs. i've not moved pictures, so you could always give that a shot.

I would like to copy pictures stored in Events in iPhoto '11 on my iMac to my MacBook Pro which is running iPhoto '09. Is this possible without losing the organization of the Events?
Only way to do it:
Export each Event to folders in the Finder from the iPhoto 11 machine, copy those folders to the 09 machine. Import them.
Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events. -
Hi,
I would like to copy my photos (from iphoto) and movies (from i movie) from my Mac book air to my imac in which I also have iphoto and imovie with photos and movies.
My goal is to have a unique source of photos and movies in my imac.
Thanks !
NicolasAs to iPhoto
Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) or use an external hard drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.
For iMovie support please post in the iMovie forum

Hello everybody,
I would like to copy all the songs from one Ipod into another. All the songs are into my Itunes account, I tried to drag and drop the songs from the old Ipod to the new one but it doesn't work. Is there a way to do it ?
I share one Itunes account with other people from my family and one person would like to keep the same songs on the new Ipod as the ones which were on the old one.
Thanks in advance for your answer.
YanHello Chris,
Thanks for your answer. I was hoping for an easier answer. Too bad there is no drag and drop solution, it would have been much easier.
Thanks for answering so fast.
Bye.

My Itunes library got wiped out, no playlists any more. I would like to copy what is on my IPOD back to Itunes because I have purchased a newer IPOD nano. I am not able to drag and drop any of the music on my IPOD to a new playlist name on Itunes.
Restore your iTunes library from your most recent backup of it. If you've not had the foresight to maintain a backup of your library see turingtest2's user tip on Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device, which lists several methods - some using third-party tools - to accomplish this. There is no facility in iTunes itself to transfer media (other than iTunes Store purchases) from any iDevice to iTunes, and iDevices are not designed or suitable for data storage.

I would like to copy my iPhoto (9.4.1) library from my Mac Pro (10.7.5) to a Macbook Pro (10.7.5). Can I drag the iPhoto Library from the Pictures folder to Air Drop and send them to the MacBook? If I then move that to the Pictures folder on the MacBook will that then be a usable iPhoto library on the Macbook?
It would be better if you could connect the two Macs via a hard wired LAN to copy the library from the Mac Pro to the MacBook. Wireless connections can have momentary dropouts which could affect the reliable copying of files.
If you do go with Air Drop be sure to open and inspect the copied library closely to confirm it was a successulf copy.

i would like to copy files from an external hard drive to my Mac. I intend to do this several times. Will Mac copy the same files every time or can it segregate and only copy new files from the external hard drive?
Only copies the file or files you select. The selection will remain unless you change it in case you wish to repeat the same copy to another location. Multiple and different copy operations can be run simultaneously.

you would have to read the directions that came with your smartphone to learn how to put content on it.
Itunes syncs with Apple devices. -
I would like to copy and paste photos from iphoto to a cd for use
I would like to copy and paste photos from iphoto to a cd for use. How can I do this so it can be used for further work in other computers without iphoto?
SteveYou can't do that.
Export the Photos (File -> Export) to a folder on the desktop. Then burn that to the CD using the Finder's Burn Disk command.

Using PSE 9 and would like to Copy and PASTE to make duplicate copies of photos, is this possible?
I know that there is a Copy facility in PSE 9. Is there also the equivalent of PASTE. I would like to copy some of my beautiful pictures and
give each copy a different CAPTION. My understanding is that the Copy feature used to create a new, enhanced version of the SAME photo. Is
this a correct assessment.
LeonJust tried File, Duplicate with one pix select and it duplicated. It should
also work with multiple pix selected.
Thank you very much for the information. It's greatly appreciated.

I received an email attachment that I would like to copy and paste to a website. How do I do that?
I received an email attachment that I would like to copy and paste to a website. How do I do that?
Depending on the attachment I think you'll probably need to view and download the email on a computer - the iPad can be a little limited in what it can do with attachments.

I have just gone from PCM to MacBook Pro retina and would like to now go to imac. Is it worth waiting for retina on imac and when will it arrive
I'm not Klaus but can give an opinion on this part:
As a Mac man yourself do you think that the retina display is worth waiting for?
I'm 65, have used Macs since 1989, and struggle with displays, cataracts, and bifocals. What I've seen of the Retinas in stores is that text size gets sacrificed for image quality. There are quite a few complaints about Retina in the MacBook Pro forums about not being able to increase the size of menu text without it getting fuzzy.
My iMac 27-inch is about a year old and I can set the display res from its default of 2560x1440 to 1920x1080 and everything is sharp. I understand that handy trick will not work for either the older hi-res macbook pros or the Retinas, so I don't expect it for any other Macs.
Speculation on Apple policy and new product releases is actiually not allowed by the Terms of Use around here so I doubt you'll get an answer to the "when" part. Anyone who does answer "when" is either guessing it up or violating a non-disclosure agreement! Apple plays its cards close to its vest and we average users only know "when" when Apple posts the announcement. -
Having a problem in iBooks. When I highlight a section I would like to copy the highlighted parts sometimes to post in my notes. Can't seem to get it to work. Any ideas?
Just noticed the same problem. I was able to do it before updating. Hope there's a simple answer. That is a big reason why I got the iPad and iBooks.
