Importing a library from an external back-up drive

So I'm in a slight panic. I just upgraded to Leopard and wanted to keep it clean. So I backed up entire hard drive as a bootable backup onto an external drive and did a clean install of Leopard on the iMac. Now I could have sworn I went into the backup and poked around to be sure all of my photos were there. I recall them being in iPhoto's nested folder system by date. My first question is this.
1. Where do those files reside in the file structure? When I go to User/Myself/Pictures I just get this iPhoto library icon. I could have sworn that's where I used to find iPhoto's huge pile of nested folders all broken out by date. They've got to be there somewhere because I had to do a complete restore from this backup disk a few months back when my hard drive crashed.
2. Assuming someone can help me find these files can you tell me how I can import them into my new version of iPhoto? If I must I'll use Migration Assistant to pull the photos over but I'm trying not to do that because it seems to bring all sorts of other user junk over that I don't want.
3. I suppose another question is whether migration assistant merges data or if it writes over the data on the new system.
Aaack, can someone please help?
Thanks.

With iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is now a Unix Style Package File. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.

As Larry says, simply drag your iPhoto Library Folder to the Pictures Folder and launch iPhoto.

It overwrites.

  • How do i import my library from an external hard drive. Exported it as had to wipe pc and reinstal windows but when i try to import nothing happens

    How do i import my library from an external hard drive. Had to export it as had to reinstal windows due to a conflict between windows and i-tunes. Wen i try to import nothing happens despite selecting the file. Can you import from an i-phone to i-tunes?

    What do you mean bye exported the library? 
    There is nothing to export or import.
    The correct process to backup the iTunes library would be to copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the computer to the external drive.

  • HT1473 How do I import my library from an external drive to Itunes quickly

    How do I import my library from an external drive to my Itunes on my computer quickly?  When I pull up ITunes, I only show Add File to Library and so I would have to manually add each file one by one, isn't there a faster way?  In the old Itunes there used to be Import Library?

    Press ALT or CTRL+B to display the menu bar. This gives access to File > Add Folder to Library.
    If the external drive contains a complete self-contained iTunes library that you want to open, press and hold down shift as you launch iTunes and keep holding until prompted to choose or create a library. Click choose and browse to the iTunes Library.itl file on the external drive.
    If you have devices that sync with your previous iTunes library either open the copy on the external as above, or copy the entire iTunes folder into your internal drive and keep the external as a backup.

  • How do I import my library from an external disk to my new MBP hard drive?

    My old MBP was running out of space so I exported my Aperture library (250GB) to an external drive.  I just replaced my old computer with a new MBP with a 1TB flash drive.  Now that I have the space, I want to put my library back on my computer but I can't figure out how bring it in from my external hard drive.  Any ideas?  Many thanks.

    Why do you say " I exported my Aperture library"? Did you actually use "File > Export > Items as new Library" in Aperture to create a new library on your external drive? A simple drag and drop of the library should have sufficed. What is your Aperture version?

    Connect your external drive and use the Finder to drag the Aperture library from the external drive back to the Pictures folder.
    Then double-click the library to point Aperture to the new location and open the copied library in Aperture.
    If your Aperture library uses referenced originals, select the referenced images and use the command File > Consolidate originals"  to move the originals back to your internal disk.
    If you should encounter any error messages (like error -36) while moving the library to the internal drive, post back.

  • Import iTunes library from an external HD to a new Mac

    I just got a new macbook and am trying to import my itunes library from my external hard drive. I tried to just select my library on the external HD in the advanced tab, but my list of songs and ratings is not being imported into the software. I selected my xml file and my playlists showed up but not songs
    How do I accomplish this?
    Thanks,
    Jason

    I just ran into this, too, when my Mac Mini died. I assume you're taking the data (songs) off of your old hard drive? Maybe with an external enclosure wrapped around it? Here's what I did:
    1. Open your Mac's main hard disc, where your iTunes resides. (By "open" I mean "double click on.") 2. Open "Users". 3. Open your user name, whatever you sign into the computer with (if you don't know, it's NOT "Shared"). 4. Open the "Music" folder. 5. Open the "iTunes" folder. 6. Scoot this window off to one side of your screen, and go to your old hard disc, where your music is, and repeat steps 1 through 5. 7. Now drag all of the folders you see on your old hard disc's same window over to your new hard disc's open window. They should be: a folder labeled Album Artwork, iTunes Library, another folder labeled iTunes music (that's where your music is!), and iTunes Library.xml. You might also have additional things like "iTunes Music Library (2)" and a folder labeled Previous iTunes Libraries. Drag them over too! IMPORTANT: you'll get a message saying "This folder already contains a newer version..." etc. "...do you want to replace?" Of course you do! - you're filling up a newly formatted disc, right? Say "yes" each time. You'll know you got it right because it'll take a long time for the iTunes Music folder to copy over, since that's where all the data is. When you start up iTunes afterwards, all your settings should be exactly like they were before! Enjoy!

  • Importing iTunes library from an external hard drive backup

    Hi,
    I would like to know how I can import my iTunes library from a backup on a external hard drive?
    If that's possible, I would like to keep organisation of files, playlists, iphone settings...
    I had a crash with my previous computer and I would like to keep all iTunes settings as before.
    There might be already a subject about this but I did not found it.
    Thank you for your help,
    Simon

    In Preferences/Advanced/General point iTunes to the folder on your external hard drive.
    Check Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library. This will put all new additions on your external hard drive.
    Now click File/Add to Library and point to the folder on the external hard drive. With 200 GB's of music you will think iTunes has frozen,. It hasn't. It will take several minutes to process everything.

  • Importing iTunes Library from an external harddrive

    Recently, I had to delete the operating system on my computer because I accidentally deleted a software application that could not be reinstalled individually. So before I reinstalled my operating system, I had to backup all the data on my computer. In particular, I put my whole iTunes Library on an external hard drive and I imported the folder into my Applications file. I have not figured out how to import the folder to my new iTunes library. When I want to listen to a song, I usually just go to the folder and click on the song and then it plays in my iTunes. Since I have like 1500 songs, I do not have the time to click on each song to import it into my library. How do I import the whole music folder into my iTunes library?

    Hey mate,
    Try this:
    Close iTunes, then copy your backup iTunes Music folder to ~/Music, where '~' represents your home folder. Open the iTunes Library file within that folder, that should reopen iTunes, and your library should appear.
    Hope this helps!

  • How do i move contacts from and external back up drive to a macbook pro?

    I was able to successfully move a few other files. Garageband, text edit and itunes were a breeze. Contacts are giving me a hard time!

    Does she have any photos in the iPhoto library on her new machine?
    What version of iPhoto does she have?
    The general answer is to trash the iPhoto library on the new computer (assuming it is empty) and drag the old iPhoto library to the pictures folder of the new machine and launch iPhoto letting it convert the library

  • How do I get iTunes songs which were downloaded from external back-up drive to play on new computer and is there a way to get my play lists back?

    When I try to play a song from my re-installed iTunes library, I get the error message:  "Song xxx could not be played because original file could not be found.  Would you like to locate it?" > "Locate" or "Cancel."  When I click on "Locate" I can't figure out how to get the song to play from any of the places that were "located."  The path is C:\users\Janet\libraries\music\iTunes
    However, iTunes songs chosen from my library will play in iTunes (current version) when I have the external back-up drive plugged in!  I recently copied my backed-up iTunes library from my external back-up drive to a new computer.
    Most of the songs, but not all, magically appear in Windows Media Player and I can play those just fine. 
    I can see my iTunes library in the newest version of iTunes, recently downloaded to new computer, but can't play songs without connecting to the external back-up drive - so maybe there is something else on that external drive that needs to be on my C: drive? 
    I am using an HP Pavillion Notebook, Windows 7, 64-bit.  My previous computer was Windows Vista.  Before Vista, I had XP. 
    Back when I had XP, I wanted to purchase some songs to download to my computer. Because iTunes had the ability, I used it to create a massive library of songs, most of which were ripped from my CDs.  I don't have an iPod and iTunes worked fine for creating playlists and then burning them to CDs. 
    Also, I'd like to know if there is a way to get back my playlists.
    And another thing - in the older version of iTunes, there was a folder in the lists on the left-hand side of the screen where I could click to see all the songs I had purchased.  I'd like to get that ability back if possible.
    In hindsight, iTunes was probably not the best choice for me to build my music library in a Windows operating system, but it seemed to be the best choice at the time.  I really wish I could convert all the songs to mp3 format.
    I have been working with computers since the days of DOS, black and white screens, and no mice.  The first computer I bought for my own use at home was a Mac and it had "Flying Toasters" as a screensaver.  (I miss that screensaver.)  It did not have a tower and I believe they called it a laptop, even though the thing was as big as a suitcase and probably weighed around 30 pounds.  However, I am by no means a computer expert.  In other words, pretend you're trying to tell your mother how to do what I am asking. =)
    Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.

    I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places.  I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file.  There must be something else that's missing.  My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive.  If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
    My back-up drive is a mess.  I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={  Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period.  I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive.  Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me).  As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!" 

  • Can't import a library from external drive

    Hi,
    I have always exported projects as new libraries to external drives and then import them when I need to work on or update. I am trying to import a library from my external drive and it says merging libraries but the library is not showing up as a project or importing. Nothing is happening. I don't want to work on it as a stand alone library because I have several projects I need to swap images between. Does anyone know why I can no longer import a library?
    Thank you.

    To check the format of your drive - just to be sure about it - select your drive in the Finder and use "File > Get Info" or press "⌘I". You'll see the formatting in the Info panel that opens, in the "General" tab of the panel.

  • How do I import an old iphoto library from an external hard disk while keeping my editing and organization in tact?

    I am running iPhoto '08 on a MacBook Pro 2.2 GHz Intel C2D (MacBook Pro 3,1). I backed up my hard drive contents onto an external hard drive, then formatted my computer and installed Mountain Lion. I then re-installed iPhoto '08 and ran all the updates. Now, I would like to import my old library from the external disk onto my computer without losing my editing and organization; however, when I select "import to library" from iPhoto, the old iPhoto library is not a selectable option.
    I know how to "show package contents" and import directly from the Original and Modified folders, but I don't want to lose my organization. Can I simply drag the content of those folders into my new Original and Modified folders? Will iPhoto read that correctly?
    I tried to open the old library from the external disk, thinking to export them all to a folder and import from there, but that just opened my new library and none of the old photos were imported or available.
    I'm running out of ideas and would appreciate any help you guys can give. Thanks!!

    You don't import it.
    Just drag the iphoto Library from the external to the Pictures Folder.
    Then open it:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    Never import one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.

    I am trying to import aperture library from macbook to new imac the import window sees the external harddrive but does nt see library.  I can open library as a refernce library but cannot import onto hardrive as managable files 

    I may be misreading what you are trying to do but you don't import libraries via the import window. You use File->Import->Library..
    If this doesn't resolve your problem post back with more detail of what you are doing and what is happening.

  • How do I move my iTunes library from my external hard drive back to my computer?

    Just wondering how do I move my entire iTunes library from my external hard drive back to my computer? It was moved to an external hard drive a few years ago, and now I'm wondering how to move it back to my iMac to increase performance.
    Where does it belong in the computer?
    Any suggestions?

    The library itself is the /Home/Music/iTunes/ folder in its entirety. Did you also change where preference files were stored? Normally, they would be in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.

  • Import iTunes Library from External Drive to New Computer with Vista

    I can't seem to "import" my entire iTunes library from my external hard drive to my new computer. However, I can import songs one-by-one. There must be a way to transfer the whole file at once but it is beyond me. Anyone have a solution?

    Hi I am new and have found a way to import Files & Folders over my home network and or other drives.
    Start in File, click "Add File to Library", or "Add Folder to Library". In the “look in” dropdown window, locate the File or folder and double click on it. It should begin to transfer. I have never transferred an enter library though.
    On a personal note,
    I have come to realize that I can only transfer iTunes music. I can not transfer or even find the music that I have installed from a CD into my iTunes library. iTunes dose recognize even the folder that such music is in. If any of you have an answer to this problem let me know.
    Thanks
