Image Transfer from PC to Mac

How does one transfer all images from a PC to a Mac AND ensure that the meta data and tags are included?
At present I have my entire catalog backed up on an external hard drive ready to go.

Okay, you do know that there is no organizer in the mac version of PSE? You use bridge (included with PSE) or iphoto (included with your mac), or some other program for organizing photos. That said, both the programs mentioned will pick up metadata keywords, so you need to change your tags to keywords. To do this, go to File>Write Tags and Properties to File(s) in the organizer.
Check this with a couple of photos first to be sure it's working right. There are some files where it just won't work well, like raw files.
Other metadata is metadata and can be read by any program that reads metadata, including Spotlight (the OS X built-in search feature).

  • How to make a image file from Pre installed Mac osx ? "PLEASE HELP :("?

    hey guys ..Thanks u for the time.
    So i have this eMac which has crashed and i have got may hands on another eMac.. and it works
    ... the only problem is.. I can take my eMac to the working eMac to do Target Mode or any thing...
    So Help me..
    My question is .. Is there a way to make a .DMG image file from pre installed mac osx OR
    Is there a way to may a recovery disc??

    You can use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy everything from the working eMac onto the non-working eMac while the working eMac is running. If your eMac will still do target mode into the working one, you can download the above software, select the booted drive as the source drive, and your eMac's drive as the target, however it is possible this will not work.
    When you say your eMac crashed, what exactly happened?  It is possible that the hard drive in your eMac failed or is failing, so in order to get it running again you would need to replace the hard drive.  On the eMac, this repair is somewhat involved, and you have to be very careful because it exposes the CRT, which has several areas which can be extremely dangerous to touch if not properly handled.  CRTs retain a great deal of voltage, even when unplugged, sometimes for weeks, and they can give you a nasty shock if you touch them in the wrong place.
    Also keep in mind that cloning from the working computer to the non-working computer will ERASE any data that you have stored on that eMac, so if you don't have it backed up anywhere, you may want to attempt that with target mode before proceeding.
    Good luck!

  • I am trying to do a migration transfer from an older Mac Pro, running Leopard, to a newer Mac Pro, running Lion.  There is a step that asks for a "passcode" to proceed.  I have no idea what that passcode is.  It seems to want a numeric code.

  • Transfer from pc to mac. code number is on the mac but not appearing on the pc

    Using migration assistant to transfer from windows to mac. Almost there but code is appearing on mac but not on the pc. have tried a number of times. any ideas please?

    The sharename would refer to the shared folder, directory, or drive on the server side. Perhaps the following will be more helpful:

  • I used Migration Assistant to transfer from MBP to Mac Mini. Documents cannot be "seen" or "found". Stumped!

    I used Migration Assistant to transfer from MBP (Leopard OSX 10.6.8) to Mac Mini (Lion OSX 10.7). Documents cannot be "seen" or "found". Ditto Music , movies, and pictures.Stumped!

    System Preferences/Users & Groups shows you the various user accounts you have.
    Look at your hard drive in the Finder sidebar. You should see Applications, Library, System, and Users. If you look in Users you will see a Shared folder. From the user Migration Assistant created, find the iTunes folder and drag it to Shared. Log out and log in using your normal user account, go to the same place and copy it to Music in your normal user account. Another option is to leave it in shared so any user can access it. You will have to tell iTunes where to find the music by going to iTunes/Preferences/Advanced.

  • How do I transfer from pc to mac

    I want to know the easiest way to transfer from a pc to a mac with OS X Mavericks.

    For more information, and a good read, get Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual.
    I read it about six years ago when we switched to Macs.  It will refer you to Migration Assistant but also has info like getting O2M to move your Outlook mail files over to Mail.  I liked being able to read about the switch, plan the move, and have something to refer to later.

    Is Apple compatible with Microsoft Office?
    Any computer is compatible as long as it can read and write Office files. But for perfect (or at least near perfect) compatibility, you would want to purchase Office 2011 for Mac.
    How can I transport from Windows to Mac?
    You can't directly transport any installation of Windows. All PC's come with a machine specific version of Windows intended for that PC. They don't have all of the hardware drivers the retail disks cover.
    If you want Windows on your Mac, you would first purchase a full version copy (NOT an upgrade disk) of Windows 7 or 8. Those are the only supported versions on newer Macs. You install it through the supplied Boot Camp utility that comes with the Mac to create a new partition for Windows, and then install the retail copy of Windows you purchased.
    The reason only these versions of Windows are supported is the same basic reason as a machine specific version of Windows for a PC. Apple only includes the necessary Mac hardware drivers for Win 7 or 8 on new Macs.
    Once Windows is installed, you could then install the version of Office for Windows you already own. The nuisance of a Boot Camp partition is that you have to physically boot to either Windows or OS X, so you can only use the apps of the OS you're in at the time. To use both at once, you'd have to use virtual machine software (Parallels, VMware, VirtualBox) and then install Windows within that. Then you'd be able to run Windows inside of OS X and have access to both at the same time.

  • IPod transfer from PC to MAC

    I just got a mac and am new to this whole thing, so bare with me. I have had my iPod synced to my PC for about a year now and want to transfer my iTunes library to my MAC, is this possible, if so How?

    Do you have a way to transfer from iPod to iTunes
    Problem - The majority of my music was in the itunes library on my PC. That computer crashed and all data was lost. My only backup of my music is the music on my iPod.
    How do I take the music that is on my iPod and transfer it to the itunes library on my Mac. If I hit sync then my iPod will be wiped clean and it will filled with the iTunes library on my Mac (which is less then what is currently on my iPod)
    Thanks

  • Ipod music transfer from PC to Mac?

    Hello,
    I recently reformatted my ipod shuffle to PC so as to use as a portable drive. On my PC I have music that I do not have on my Mac. Itunes deleted the music from mac and replaced with music from PC. when I plugged the ipod back into the Mac, it asked some weird question about which library to use (yes or no options), one answer(no?)did nothing and no longer recognized the ipod until an unplug and reconnect. the other answer(yes?)replaced the music library with the macintosh's original playlist.
    So, is it possible to transfer music from a PC to mac? Is there some sort of copyright issue I'm missing here? If I replace the ipod music from the PC itunes library again, how can I transfer that music to the Mac?

    I found this which I think answers the question:
    Can I take a friend's iPod shuffle and browse or play its content on my machine (like I can with other iPods)?
    No, there is no manual mode that allows you to view or play the content from a friend's iPod shuffle on your computer. This also means that you cannot load music from multiple computers or iTunes libraries onto iPod shuffle like you can with other iPods.
    Can I transfer data to iPod shuffle from multiple computers when in disk mode?
    Yes. If you put iPod shuffle in disk mode, you can transfer data from multiple computers from the Finder (Mac) or Explorer (Windows). You can only load music from one computer, using iTunes.
    Can I use iPod shuffle with both a Macintosh and a Windows computer?
    Yes. When you place iPod shuffle in disk mode, you can use it to transfer data between multiple computers, running either operating system.
    Thanks anyway, seems like a strange thing not to be able to do.

  • Image transfer from Nikon D810 to Lightroom fail

    I have just bought a Nikon D810 and tried to download images directly from the camera to Lightroom 4.4 by using "Copy as DNG" and "Copy". Both failed and no images were imported.
    I have tried it with a card reader (hama) as well. Same result - zero images.
    What do I have to do?

    Lightroom 5.6 is the oldest version of LR to recognize D810 raw files, so you’ll need to upgrade to use the process you’re describing.
    If you want to copy the images by hand you can use the DNG Converter 8.6 (or newer) to convert the D810 NEFs from your card and specify a destination folder on your hard-drive, then those DNG copies of the images can be imported into the older LR 4.4.  I would recommend saving your NEFs somewhere, perhaps in a subfolder of where you've copied the DNGs, in case you decide to upgrade, or use non-Adobe software, at some point in the future.
    The DNG Converter 8.6 is available on the Adobe Updates page:

  • Excel files are locked since transfer from pc to mac

    I just transferred my excel files from pc to mac and now i can't open them, it says they are "locked for editing" by user (i did not lock them) i can only open as read only.  Is there a fix for this problem? Anyone else had this problem?

    Where are these files saved??
    Maybe this will help...
    I found this post on a different web site - http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macexcel/office-files -locked-for-editing-in-mixed/d838b0d7-6b26-4206-b310-029c73cf0ba6.
    This problem is caused by a temporary file that was not deleted after a previous edit session was completed. The file is hidden and not normally visible through the Finder. The easiest way to view hidden files is to install the hidden files dashboard widget which is available here:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/developer/hiddenfiles_matthansen.html.
    Use the widget to show hidden files then use Finder to open the folder that contains the spreadsheet you wish to edit. If your spreadsheet is named abc.xlsx, you will also see a file named ~$abc.xlsx. Delete the file that begins with ~$ and you will be good to go.
