Importing entire photo library from Photoshop.

The Photoshop library is organized in the traditional manner of folders, sub-folders, files, etc using Bridge. How do I import this entire structure into Aperture 3 while preserving the hierarchy? Can I do this in more or less one move or must I rebuild the library one folder at a time? Thanks for any suggestions

I have generally exported all the photos into a single folder and then copied them across.
What is the problem with simply copying your iPhoto Library folder across. When you open the new iPhoto it will say the Library is an old one but it should ask you if you want to update it ....... to which you say yes.
However, if you want to be absolutely sure, post this question on the iMovie forum where there are lots of iMovie experts.

  • I bought a new Mac Pro from an Apple store, it was sold as factory sealed, but it's reconditioned - it has some strangers entire photo,library from 2003 to 2011 in the trash bin.

    . I bought a new Mac Pro from an Apple store 2 days ok, it was sold as factory sealed, but it's reconditioned - it has some strangers entire photo,library from 2003 to 2011 in the trash bin.
    I was bought a Mac book pro as a birthday gift from the Apple Store in Leicester, after completing the initial set up procedure, I noticed that  the trash bin was full of some one's entire photo collection from 2003 to 2011.
    This is entirely unacceptable for Apple: How long have Apple been fobbing of consumers who believe they were genuinely purchasing a 'new' Mac book?
    How is it that I have someones entire photo collection on my 'branch new Mac Book Pro' - these photos included wedding photo's, birthday celebrations, family celebrations and children. Its a serious breach of data protection, it's an invasion of some poor persons privacy and private photo collection. What concerns me the most, is what could have happened if those photo's had fallen into the wrong hands. We managed to trace, locate and contact the person who the photo's belong to within 10 mins using information taken from their wedding album.
    Understandably these people are also very distressed that their personal photos are on my brand new Mac Book pro.
    I would like details of who to contact in regards this incident.

  • Can't import my photo library from SL to Lion

    I have just installed Lion, my iPhoto library is on an external drive.
    I have used software update to update iPhoto on Lion, but when I choose the existing Library I get a message saying that it was created with a newer version of iPhoto so cannot import the photos.
    This is in fact true, I had iPhoto 9.2.1 on Snow Leopard, but after installing from the disk and updating on Lion, it is still only 9.1
    I do not understand how it can be an older version if I have used the software updater.
    Can anyone help please?

    I think you misunderstood what I said.
    I have already run the updater. If I run it again there is no further update of iPhoto available in the updater. It thinks my iPhoto is up to date.
    I realise that 9.1 won't open a 9.2.1 library, which is the reason why I'm asking.
    ie I want to update from 9.1 to 9.2.1 or whatever is the latest, but when I run software updater, there is no update for iPhoto.

  • Want to import entire music library from iTouch to new HP laptop

    I have an iPod iTouch with a music library of about 2500 songs and I have a new HP Pavillion DV6000 Entertainment notebook computer (which runs Vista). My original iTunes library is in my desktop (which runs XP). The iTunes n the desktop is the one the iPod is officially affiliated with. Apple policy states that an iPid can only be affilaited with one computer. I want to import the entire music library (not just songs purchased through iTunes store) from my iPod iTouch into the empty iTunes library on the new notebook. I've heard mention of iGadget, iRepo and IpodAccess but I don't know how to use these to get what I want. Can anybody give input or specific directions to help me?

  • Can't import entire iTunes library from external hard drive

    I recently had to reset my IBM ThinkPad T40 (Windows XP) to factory settings. Of course, I backuped up my iTunes library on an external hard drive, and there didn't seem to be any problems doing so. (I've had to do the same thing before) But I can't re-import the entire library now! It only imports about a thousand songs (I had about 5,000), and I get an error message saying "The file iTunes Library.itl~ cannot be imported becuase it does not appear to be a valid exported file.") I also tried to import a previous back-up (stored in a different folder, and it wouldn't import all of those files, either -- no more than in the more recent backup files) either. I've tried re-downloading the iTunes software several times. Help!!!!
    Thanks!!!
    PS: Is there a way to sync my iPod to import songs from that BACK into itunes?
    IBM ThinkPad T40   Windows XP  

    This seems to have deleted ALL of my iTunes. The folder (and all iTunes files) is still there on my backup, but now the newly-installed iTunes won't import ANYTHING (It at least imported about 1,000 (out of 5,000) songs before. But now it says all files are invalid, regardless of where I attempt to import them from. (although the names of some playlists import -- but they're empty files) It appears that SOME of the music files are located on the backup copy, but simply won't import. Perhaps they're corrupted?

  • How do I move my entire photo library from an iPad to a computer?

    Hi to anyone who can help.  I just made the huge mistake of switching my iMac to Lion and within minutes everything started going buggy.  Now I can't even get the computer to stay unfrozen for more than a few minutes.  I'm terrified I'm going o lose all my children's pictures.  I have a time machine back up, but I am worried that that may have been corrupted as well.  I have all my photos on my iPad though and would like to copy these over to another Mac or a PC if the time machine is screwed up.  How can I transfer the pictures off my iPad?  there's 16,0000 pf them, so emailing them out is not a real option.  Thanks in advance or any advice.

    Photos that were originally synced from a computer can be copied off via third-party iPad apps such as Simple Transfer (which has a free lite version called Simple Photo & Video Transfer which you can try first), which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on the computer.
    Have you not got a backups of the originals on external drives ?

  • How can I share my entire photo library from iCloud Drive?

  • How do I import my photo library to iPhoto?

    I recently got a new mac and a new iPhone, so I imported my photos from iphoto which was my old camera roll and transfered it to my new iPhone. On my iPhone I now have three albums, Camera Roll and Photo Library and another album that is the same as photo library. First can I delete photo library or the other album? Second my more important question, how do I import my photo library from my iphone to my new mac? Thanks

    It has said this for about a month now and I would just hide iPhoto since I could not close it. I have not needed to turn off my computer until now. But now it is a problem because I can not upgrade my computer

  • Loading entire photos library crashes

    The issue is the when I attempt to load my entire photo library from my iMac it crashes and goes back to the home screen.
    I am running up to date versions on all OS's and events and smaller albums in iPhoto or individual albums in finder all work fine,
    The issue is only when I go to the entire library (about 18000 photos) the screen sits on 'loading' for about a minute and just crashes back to the home screen.
    I have started getting the issue on a brand new version 3 device which had been working fine for a week. I reported it to Apple support who think it may be a hardware issue and suggested I should get a replacement from the vendor.
    However I also have a version 2 device in the bedroom which having checked yesterday (18th) also shows exactly the same symptoms.
    I emphasise the fact that I use this functionality almost daily and it was working fine until last Thu 13 March 2014.
    I am Calling Apple TV support again with latest issues today!

    Update
    Apple support have been working with me today and the problem is still not resolved. Here's what I've been up to...
    Apple suggested I carry out the following:
    Press Alt when starting iPhoto and create a new library.
    Chuck some pix in the new library and share with AppleTV
    RESULT: All worked fine and it would coz I only had 25 pix to view!
    Delete old Library and go back to original one.
    Next
    Press Alt+Ctrl when starting iPhoto and start a repair process one at a time in the following order...
    Repair Permissions
    Repair Thumbnails
    Repair Database
    This took a couple of hours and I still could not load my entire library.
    I then decided to re introduce my pix into Home Sharing 5000 at a time...
    5000 took 2 mins to load and worked fine.
    10000 took 3 mins to load and worked fine
    15000 took 4 mins to load and worked fine
    19000 took 2 mins to crash!!!
    I realise there is a lot of Pix in my library but I have never experienced theses issues before last week. It is without doubt a reduction in service caused by an Apple update.
    Getting back in touch with Apple Support....
    Case ID is: 589250523 if you need to use it as a reference.

  • How do I get my existing photo library from iPhoto to Photoshop?

    How do I get my existing photo library from iPhoto to Photoshop?

    Hello MWWWB,
    Unlike iPhoto, Photoshop is only an editor. It does not store or organize images. In iPhoto preferences, you can choose Photoshop as an editor. You will then get a choice when you double click on an iPhoto thumbnail to use iPhoto or Photoshop to make edits. But Photoshop does not have a library to store images like iPhoto.
    You may want to use Adobe Bridge or Lightroom to help name and organize your pictures. You can Export your iPhoto Library to a folder and manage the exported images there.
    Personally, I hate the arcane manner iPhoto stores and organizes images. I use it only for photos from my iPhone.
