IPhoto 7.0 -importing photos from one Mac to another

My wife and I recently went on vacation and took many photos that we down-
loaded to her MacBook. Now that we are home, I want to download a portion of these photos to my iMac. Is it possible to import these vacation photos from her MacBook directly to my iMac, or do I need to 'Burn' several disks on the MacBook first then download these to the iMac? Harv66

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
are those pics in iPhoto on her machine? If so, network the two machines together and use iPhoto Library Manager to move them from one library to another.

Move photos from one mac to another mac

how can i move photos from one macbook pro to another macbook pro. i am not very technical, so make it easy

Do you want to move your iPhoto library from A to B or just the photos?
If it's the library just connect the two MBPs together, via LAN, Target Disk Mode, etc., so you can drag the library from A to B.

How do you transfer Several files and numerous photos from one Mac to another.

I have a Mac Book Pro (late 2011) and a Mac Air (2013). I know I can airdrop but I would be doing that for days - is there any way to transfer file from one computer to another.

If you want to transfer a large amount of files, the best way would be to use an external drive. If you do not have one, consider the option of using Target Disk mode, so you just have to get a Thunderbolt cable; this is the fastest option.
To use Target Disk mode, connect the Thunderbolt to the MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro. Then, start up your MacBook Pro and hold the T key while it is starting up until you see the Thunderbolt icon in the display. Now, go to the MacBook Air, open a Finder window and you will see the MacBook Pro hard drive in the sidebar, so access to them and transfer the files you want to.

How do i move photos from one mac to another

I just purchased a MacBook Pro, and would like to move the photos on my old iMac to it. How do I do that? Thanks.

Are your photos in iPhoto or are they stored in folder on your iMac?
Firstly, the two Macs need to be connected, either via ethernet or wirelessly, on the same network.
The same can be achieved by copying the photos from your iMac to an external hard drive and then to your MBP.
You can copy the entire iPhoto library over to your MacBook Pro and replace the existing iPhoto library in the Pictures folder. (Do you have photos in the iPhoto Library on your MBP?)
It is also possible to have more than one iPhoto Library, by giving the library on the iMac a new name, and then copying it over.

Import mail from one mac to another

Hi,
I have 3 months worth of mail on my laptop, and I want to transfer it to my desktop, what is the easiest way to do this? The laptop is a PowerPC Macbook Pro running 10.5, the Mac Pro is running Lion. It's about 2000 messages.
Thanks for help

There is a bug when doing “export mailbox” and import mailbox functionality.
Workaround:
> Open Finder and under the “Go” menu, hold down the option key. The “Library” sub-menu will show up.
> Copy the entire “Library > Mail” folder to a USB disk (it will not work if copying to a shared drive for some reason)
> Take the USB disk to the new computer and do an “Import Mailbox” and select the copied Data file. There will be LOTS of folders that come up for import, you can browse through and deselect what you don’t need (e.g. trash or junk mail), OR just import everything and then clean up from your mailbox.
> The imported folders will show up in mail under the “On My Mac” area.

Migrating from one Mac to Another

[Short Version
Problem:
Need to move photos from G4 ibook to Intel macbook. Both run 10.5, so I assume iphoto 09. I don't know, because I don't use iPhoto. I use photoshop.
I would be happy to settle for extracting image files that can be imported into the new computer... but this process seems to fail each time.
attempted solutions:
copy "iPhoto Library" from pictures folder to hard drive, import on new computer.]
Detailed version:
I'm sure this has been asked before, as people tend to upgrade computers from time to time.
However, I've searched the boards and google for a half hour or so with mixed results.
A friend of mine has an old G4 ibook that she has recently replaced with a new intel macbook. Both run Leopard.
She would like to get rid of the G4, but can't figure out how to move her iPhoto library (or even the pictures without albums, etc.) from one mac to another.
She attempted to copy the iPhoto library in the G4 to an external drive, then attempted to import the library into the new macbook. This didn't work, files show up in the database, but will not open. They appear to be .jpg files, or at least have that extension.
My suggestion was that she use the File > Export command, but she can't seem to get that to work either. I'm not sure if she selected the correct options, both during export from the old system and import from the new system.
Another option that we haven't tried is to "Option + start iPhoto" trick, similar to my current iTunes setup (home LAN vs away) to access two libraries. To specify, holding option while launching iphoto then selecting the old iPhoto library that has been copied to an external.
Has anyone had success moving photos from one mac to another?
thanks in advance for the help.

1 - OS version and iPhoto versions have little to do with each other - OS X 10.5 will run iPhoto 4, iPhoto 5, iPhoto 6, iPhoto '08 and iPhoto '09 - you have to look at the program and see what version it is
2 - If you move the entire iPhoto library intact as a single entity between the same version of iPhoto or to a newer version everything is automatic - you can not go backwards (iPhoto '08 can not read an iPhoto '09 library)
3 - you can always select the photos and export them (file menu ==> export)
4 - you can get the originals by right clicking (control clicking) on the iPhoto library and selecting show package contents (iPhoto '08 and '09 - not knowing the version involved makes this much more difficult) and copying the originals folder and moving it
Has anyone had success moving photos from one mac to another?
Thousand (probably millions) of people - if you know the versions involved you just drag it over and launch iPhoto

This does not copy a library - it repoints iPhoto to a different library if the version are compatible (and may convert it to a newer version)
Basically you have not described the most critical piece of information - the iPhoto version on each computer

How to transfer photos from one make to another

How to transfer photos from one mac to another wirelessly

I can give you a few ways to so:
First (and my favorite way) is the one said above. First, on the computer with the photos on it, you have to do is turn on file sharing (go to system preferences, sharing, file sharing) and have both computers on the same network. Second, have the computers you want the photos on, and launch finder. On the sidebar, there should be a "sharing" category, and below it should be the computer with the photos on it. Click on it, and you will be prompted for the computer username and password. It will then show all of the files on your computer. Then, just find the files, copy them (command-C) and paste them to where you want them! (If this confuses you, I can upload a video step-by-step on how to do this).
My second way is to use air drop. To start, Both computers must be on the same network. Then, on the computer with the photos on it select all of the photos you want to send to the other computer (you can select many photos by holding the command key and clicking on photos), right-click (control-click) on the selected photos, find the button share, and click air drop. On the computer you want the photos on, go to air drop on the side bar. You should see the name of the computer on the radar-looking screen. Click your computer. The photos should begin to download to the downloads folder. (This feature is only compatible with certain computers)

How can I move my iPhoto Library from one Mac to another without losing the comments on the individual photos in the process?

How can I move my iPhoto Library from one Mac to another without losing the comments on the individual photos in the process? The source Macbook (OS 10.4.11 and iPhoto 6.0.6 (3.2.2.)) is with my husband in Germany, the target MacBook Pro (OS 10.8.5, iPhoto 11) is with me in Japan. Thanks for your help.

I copied the iPhoto Library to a CD and from there to the new MacBook
If you copied the library to the CD via the Finder it would be no different than the methods Terence suggested. If you used the Share ➙ Burn menu option from inside iDVD you'll get a mini library that has to be accessed from the open library and the events/alubums copied into the destination library. Not the same as the other methods.
The Share ➙ Burn method is no longer supported with iPhoto 9 and later.

IPhoto won't import photos from iPhone

Hi - using a MBP 2.2, Leopard, iLife 08 and an 8gb iPhone. iPhoto used to import photos from the iPhone no problem - now it won't import it at all. Says it's an unreadable file (though a normal jpg).
What gives? Same issue trying to import two jpg's rec'd via email (and dragged to my desktop).
Any suggestions?

I have this problem now. I have MacOS 10.5.1, iPhoto '08, and iPhone running 1.1.2.
In my "camera roll" on the iPhone are 260 photos, all the pics I have taken since I got the phone. I imported some of them weeks ago with no problems into iPhoto. But now iPhoto can't import anything from the iPhone.
iPhoto does know there are photos on the phone, because there is set of blank thumbnail squares that I can select to import. When I look at the photo info, I can see the file name, size, date, but all the other info is missing or incorrect. It doesn't have camera maker or model. Most worrying though is the height and width of the pictures are zero.
I am thinking that there is some cache file on the phone that got corrupted somehow. Resetting to factory settings might help, but I really don't want to lose all the photos that I took from the holidays.
I've tried the above suggestions and no avail: logged out and into the .Mac account; powered down the phone; reset the iSync history (interestingly, iSync does not recognize my phone when I do a device scan).
I did try removing some stuff to make room, but still no dice.

Just snaps?
Export from one and import to the other
Snaps and all the versions and edit history?
Network the two machines together and use iPhoto Library Manager
Something else? You'll need to explain in more detail.

IPhoto suddenly wont import photos from my iPhone

iPhoto suddenly wont import photos from my iPhone.
Keeps sending me error messages... wrong format.
anyone know about this?

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. More information means you get better assistance. (And no, more exclamation marks do not get help faster or make your issue seem urgent. They just make it seem like you have a stuck key )

Photos from one mac, songs from another

is it possible to sync (not just stream) photos from one mac (aperture), and songs/video from another (itunes) to the same AppleTV? thanks

that's unfortunate
so is there anywhere to fake this out by linking itunes libraries together on the macs so ATV only has to sync to one? ie. have one library reference another library or something like that?
my basic requirement is that i have the photos on one mac and all the music/video etc on the other mac, but everything goes to the same ATV.
thanks

IPHOTO 11 does not allow me to move photos from one event to another.

I recently upgraded to IPHOTO 11 and now I cannot Cut/Paste photos from one EVENT to another, I cannot flag a photo and move the photo to another EVENT. It will only allow me to create a new Event from the the flagged photo's. IS there a bug in IPHOTO11 and can I back out if this problem is not resolved?

Make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
Select options #1, #2 and #6.
Fix #3
Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

IPhoto will no longer import photos from any of my another cameras.

iPhoto will no longer import photos from any of my another cameras after importing photos from my iTouch.

Does the camera mount to the desktop so you can look to see what is there? Have you tried Image capture (in your applications folder) to import the photos? Have you tried unchecking hide previously imported to see what that shows? Do you have a USB card reader to try? When did you last reformat your memory card?
If you can get the photo off the card using any method do so and tehn use yoru camera's format command to reformat the card

Using iPhoto, I want to move photo from one event to another I export it to desktop and then reimport. Titles and other info vanish; only the original jpg number comes thru. How do I avoid this?

Using iPhoto, I want to move photo from one event to another I export it to desktop and then reimport. Titles and other info vanish; only the original jpg number comes thru. How do I avoid this?

Don't do that - flag the photo and go to the target event and use the add flagged photo to selected event command to move it intact within iPhoto
