IPhoto did not migrate photos to new computer

Actually 2 questions. Some background.
Old computer: iMac late 2006 running 10.6.8, iPhoto 8.1.2
New computer iMac late 2013 running Mavericks iPhoto 8.1.2
During set up of new computer had a power interruption and did a recovery. Instead of Mavericks the
recovery was Mountain Lion and I had to upgrade to Mavericks. The Mavericks upgrade did not include iLife updates.
So, back to the original question. When using Migration the photos on the old iMac did NOT transfer to the new iMac. How can I transfer the library? There are too many photos for a dvd.
And finally, The latest version of iLife did not D/L with the Mavericks upgrade and they would like me to pay for it even though it was on the new iMac originally.
Any way around this obstacle?

The Mavericks upgrade did not include iLife updates.
That is normal. The iLife applications come with a new computer or have to be purchased. They are not standard applications of a system upgrade. With Mavericks you need to purchase an upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1. if your new computer did not come with iPhoto '11 installed.
When using Migration the photos on the old iMac did NOT transfer to the new iMac. How can I transfer the library?
Which options did you use to migrate? By default the setup assistant or Migration Assistant will transfer your complete Home folder, if you do not deselect it. Or is your if Library not in the default location in the Pictures folder?
You could copy the iPhoto library to an external drive and transfer it this way or connect the two macs in Target Mode: See: Transfer files between two computers using target disk mode
The latest version of iLife did not D/L with the Mavericks upgrade and they would like me to pay for it even though it was on the new iMac originally.
If iLife was installed on your new Mac, look at the "Purchased" tab at the App Store. You may need to "accept" the iLife applications to your Apple ID. See this document:
Accept iLife: OS X: About OS X Recovery
Scroll down to the paragraph "Restoring iLIfe after Reinstalling ..."

Application Software (example Microsoft Office) does or does not migrate to the new computer

From a software standpoint, when you use data migration Mac to Mac or PC to MAC, why application software, like Microsoft Office or Adobe Photoshop, sometime are able to move (migrate) to the new computer without any issues and sometimes the user must BUY again the software?
Technicians told me that sometimes the Migration Data is capable to migrate the Software Serial Number of the software and sometimes does not.
But, what is the real techincal answer? What happens to the serial number when you migrate?

Depends on how the App stores the serial number. Some apps fail when the file that holds the serial number gets moved and must be reinstalled.
None of that requires you to purchase it again. You just have to install it using the key you were provided with the software.
No apps will be migrated from a PC as they will not work with OS X.
Office 2004 will not Migrate as it doesn't work in Mountain Lion.

Photosmart and Photo imaging had on old printer did not come over on new computer.

Hi, I had a HP photosmart poto imaging on my old computer but it did not come over onto my new computer. I really like this program because when I was copying home pictures for my family it allowed me to choose size of film, size of image and several at one time. I have tried to find something compatible and so far no luck. I tried copying it from old to new and that didn't work. I am hoping that there is a new program with the same abilities. Print shop and Publisher does not do what I want even though Stables said it would. These programs allows me to bring it over to Works but when I do that and I want to ajust size of image for several or to reduce size of a larger picture it can become distorted.Any suggestions about getting a new software program. I think they program originally came over when I had a camera and was transfering the images from it.so help

Hey , Welcome to the HP Support Forum. I see that you're looking to acquire some HP software that you had used previously on an older system. I would like to help. Do you recall which HP camera or printer model you had that would have came with this particular program? Also, what version of Windows are you working with? Please reply with these details and I'll be happy to assist. Thank you,

HT4527 used instructions to transfer pc windows 7 to pc windows 8 with external drive, files moved to proper directory but songs did not show up on new computer.

I solved this problem as follows. The instrunctions should tell you to delete the itunes folder that is created on your new computer when you install itunes for the first time, then copy the itunes folder from your previous computer. It looked okay when I did not do this the first time, but did not work, so I deleted the entire itunes folder on my new pc, then recopied from my external hardrive copy that I made from my old pc. Everthing came over: playlists, ratings, all "database" info.

Here are typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
With iTunes 11 you might also have a Home Videos folder inside iTunes Media.
In the simplest cases you copy the entire iTunes folder from <User's Music> on the source computer to <User's Music> on the target machine, install iTunes, and it "just works"TM.
If the media folder (inside the red outline) has been split out to a separate location then you can copy the library folder (outside the red outline) as before and connect the drive holding the media so that it has exactly the same path as before. If the drive appears as D: on one system and E: on the other then the library won't be able to find the media.
The crucial file is iTunes Library.itl - this contains a record of the tracks that have been added to the library, ratings, play counts, playlists etc.

i am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier photo please help me to recover my photos

Well I'll guess you're using iPhoto 11:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

I purchased a new MacBook Pro and when transferring files iphoto did not transfer. I have a question mark in the place of the icon. My pictures are in library but can't properly access iphoto. Thank you

Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac. You should be able to set a password for it. Save it. Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer, I suppose, back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity. As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
This handy article from Apple explains how
How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine and go for it. You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups of your stuff.

HT5129 How do I turn off MobileMe has been discontinued warning off. I did not keep photo under gallery so there is no need to migrate.

How do I turn off "MobileMe has been discontinued" warning off. I did not keep photo under gallery so there is no need to migrate. The warning keep on showing up after initial round.

In the iPhoto preferences delete all references to MM and do likewise in the system preferences

My iphoto did not separate 7 days of our trip in several locations. How can this be solved?

My iphoto did not separate 7 days of our trip in which I took some 340 pictures that are all on the same Event. How do I get them separated by days & dates so that I can identify them? These were all taken in Scotland & England!

Hi lewisbr,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has some information on how to separate imported events by day that may help:
iPhoto 9.5: Merge or split events
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH15131
Autosplit an event
You can split one or more events into smaller events based on the date or time the photos were taken.
For example, if you have an event that includes photos taken during an entire day, such as at a birthday brunch and an evening barbecue, you can have iPhoto split that larger grouping into smaller events that cover a shorter time period.
Set the event time frame in iPhoto preferences.Photos imported from now on will use this time frame until you change it.
To split an event that’s already in your photo library, select the event and choose Events > Autosplit Selected Events.The event you selected is split into smaller events based on the new time frame you set in step 1, but the other events in your library are unaffected unless you repeat step 2 for them.
Tip: You can also select more than one event to autosplit. Drag your pointer to enclose two or more events that are next to one another. To select events that aren’t adjacent, click the first event to select it, and then hold down the Command key as you click additional events.
Cheers,

I have new mini..... Synced and seemed to be fine. But my pics on my I pad 2 did not sync to my new mini. Thoughts?

Your iCloud backup only included max. the photos of your camera roll, so if you still have access to your old iPad and if it is still connected to wifi, then I would recommend using another photo storage option like Flickr (Website: http://flickr.com, App: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/flickr/id328407587?mt=8) or Dropbox for uploading/storing and accessing your photos from your devices. Of course you could also sync your photos via iTunes on your computer by connecting your devices to your Mac/PC.

IPhoto is not showing photos stored in albums in the last week, and when I add recent photos, they don't show, or show as black.

iPhoto is not showing photos stored in albums in the last week, and when I add recent photos, they don't show, or show as black. What's happening ? I show an incompatible upgrade available for OSX Maveriks, which I have not yet installed.

What version of iPhoto are you using? Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - 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.
