Iphoto on my used mac mini will not open my photos from my new macbook air, it says to update software but there arent any available.. please help

iphoto on my used mac mini will not open my photos from my new macbook air, it says something about updating the software, but i checked and there arent any updates available... please help

Sorry for the second post..
I currently do not have an older version of iPhoto to test this on, but you might also try coping the Originals from the iPhoto Library of iPhoto 11.
To do that;
1. Right (control) click on the iPhoto Library in the Picture Folder on the MacBook Air
2. Select Show Package Content.
3. Click on the Originals Folder
4. Navigate to the disired Event or photos and copy those images to your Flash or External Drive, then copy those to the older version of iPhoto.
Beware do not move, add or delete anything in the iPhoto Library, Apple has intensionally hidden it in later versions to prevent people from messing things up.

I want to create for the first time ever an iPhoto library on my Mac Mini from all of my seperate external hard drives over the years. Instead of filling my Mac Mini hard drive space with all of the pics can I import it to a seperate Apple hard drive.

I want to creat for the first time on my Mac Mini an iPhoto library. I have many seperate hard drives with pics I want to import but are concerned I will fill the hard drive with pics alone. Can I install the pics on one larg (1TB) external apple hard drive and use iPhoto functions still with the pics being installed on a seperate drive from the iPhoto OS?

This is our resident iPhoto guru, Terence Devlin's, advice:
You can move your iPhoto Library to an external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
Once that is done you can import directly into the iPhoto library on the external HD.

Any suggestions on how to fix installation issues with iPhoto & iMovie on used Mac mini?

I bought a used, mid 2011, mac min. The selller deauthorized all his applications and resotred it to factory settings for me. When I received it, I added myself as an administrator and deleted the dummy user the seller had created after restoring the OS. The first thing I wanted to do was install applications I already have on my iMac (also running OSX Lion). It would not install iPhoto or iMovie. It said these applications were assigned to a different apple id, the previous owner. I decided to erase the hard drive and reinstall Lion myself. I ran into some snags (due to my internet connection) and had to use recovery thumb drive, but it worked.
I successfully re-installed Lion on the newly formatted hard drive.
I still cannot install iPhoto and iMovie. It just give me an error now. Couriously, it installed Garage Band just fine. I haven't had any other issues with other applications I purchased on my other iMac.
Anyone have any suggestions, besides purchasing iPhoto and iMovie on the mac mini?

Ethernet cord connected to the router solved it. This is exactly what I had to do when I reinstalled the operating system. For some reason my wireless internet is highly inreliable. It drops out constantly. I've always had my iMac hard wired to the router, but I'll have to figure out a fix for this Mac mini. I can't have a 30ft ethernet cord running through the middle of my basement. Thanks.

New Mac mini & New Wireless Keyboard - can't complete setup

I just picked up a new Mac mini, and a new Apple wireless keyboard. I'm setting up the mini for the first time and i can't complete the setup because the new wireless keyboard doesn't seem to be recognized during the initial mini setup process. Should it be?
I can use the mouse to get me to the point where it requires me to setup an account, but without the keyboard I'm unable to do so.
Is this normal? I don't have a USB keyboard or I would have just plugged it in and finished. I should be able to do this with the new wireless keyboard, right?

I had the same problem with my wife's pre 2009 Intel Mini, had to use a USB KB to do a fresh install of SL, because the BT KB wasn't picked up.
Then on my early 2009 Mini I updated it from L to SL and after SL SW update found several updates, including a bluetooth update. When it came to applying the BT update, it said turn off BT, then proceed. Next came the need for me to enter my password to proceed, but that wasn't possible as the BT KB no longer responded. Fortunately I have a USB KB handy which did the trick.
So my conclusion is you need a USB KB as well as the BT KB, to manage a BT KB Mac. (With the above two examples I used a wired mouse)

Using iPhoto-updated version on mac mini, how do I see photos through iCloud on my ipad2?

I have a mac mini where we have 3K pictures. These are all in iphoto and we just purcased the ipad2 and are using icloud, but we cannot see pictures that are stored on the mac mini. Need help

iCloud is a method of getting photos from one device to another, not a way of viewing files. So, if you want to add the photos to your iPad, add them to the Photostream on your Mac.

Moving iPhoto pics from old mac to new mac

Running iPhoto 4 and trying to import all my photos into another iPhoto 4 on another Mac. Tried using import >iphoto Library where all my photos reside but get the familiar "unreadable files" message after it is completed. How do I get all my photos moved from my old Mac to new complete with the albums and organization it had on the old Mac?

Michael,
simple.... well that is if you have an external HD, or DC/ DVD burner on the old mac!!
oprtion # 2 would be to use you old mac as a target drive and copy the entire library to you new mac into the pictures folder.
Tell me which one you'd like to do!!

Anyone having Audio Issues with new Mac Mini, new Thunderbolt Display and new Pegasus R4?

I can't listen to the built-in speakers on my brand new Apple thunderbolt monitor to the terrible audio quality. I'm running Mac Lion on a new Mac Mini with a brand new Promise Pegasus R4 - all purchased in January 2012. The entire setup is connected via Thunderbust errh, I mean Thunderbolt.

Hi,
I'm also having an audio problem, which I suspect now is caused by my Thunderbolt display.
See https://discussions.apple.com/message/21499606#21499606 for the small thread.

How do I merge or transfer an iPhoto library on my macbook to my iPhoto library on my mac mini

I have a MacBook Air which I take with me when I travel and I regularly import the photos and videos from my cameras into iPhoto on my MacBook Air while traveling.
When I return home, I want to merge or transfer the iPhoto content from my "traveling" MacBook Air to my "home base" Mac Mini Server, which is my "main" storage point for all my content.
How do I do this?

the only way to merge iPhoto libraries (and a very helpful tool for managing multiple libraries) is iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -

Should I buy a Mac Mini (new or refurbished)?

Wasn't sure if this was the correct place to make this post. If not, please accept my apologies...
I have a 5-year-old Dell desktop with a 40GB HD and Windows XP. Am sure the HD will give up the ghost one of these days. I had put more memory (1GB) in it (which was “fun”) and noticed the HD would be “fun” to remove and replace as well. When the HD dies (or close to it; within the last year or so it’s had the “blue screen” come up, which scared me to death), I really don’t want to go through the hassle of replacing it.
I also have a Sawtooth G4 that has a 160GB hard drive, but of course only “sees” 120GB of it. It’s got 640MB of RAM (I replaced a 64MB with a 512. Should have maxed it out, but couldn’t afford it at the time.). It’s starting to get slow because of the memory… With newer software going away from PowerPCs and to Intel Macs, I thought about saving my money and getting an Intel Mac that can have Windows XP as well, because I have some documents that can only be opened with the Windows programs (not available for Macs) currently on the Dell…
Looked to see which Macs are Intel and the only ones I find are the Mini and the iMac. Even checked to see how easy or hard it would be to upgrade the HD and memory if needed. Of course, it looks like it would be a very difficult job to do! I really don’t like the idea of the iMac having everything together (I know it has been that way since day one…) and crammed into that skinny case… It’s too expensive for my budget anyway. So I’m looking into the Mini. Am kind of concerned that with its small crammed case that it won’t last very long and have a heat issue. Maybe I’m worried for nothing on it.
Have looked on *bay and some said on this Discussion Group (which by the way, I LOVE as I’ve learned a lot about Mac here!) to stay away from Minis on there, as some want to get rid of them because of problems… Have been watching a bunch of them selling and they are selling at or more than a new one! Seems like people don’t do their research before bidding. I have bought three old Macs on *bay, and only one (strawberry iMac had a bad HD to begin with (it didn’t happen until I had had it three weeks after getting it). I replaced its HD, PRAM battery, added more memory and installed Tiger on it. I hardly use it at all, but use it as my all-in-one DVD player. The other two were the Sawtooth (replaced the HD and installed Tiger…) and a B&W G3. The towers of course were very easy to work on and the iMac was more difficult. So, I think I’ve done pretty well on getting some old Macs on the 'bay.
Plan to edit photos I’ve taken (with possibly PhotoShop Elements 6, which I haven’t bought yet), do email, Internet, documents, create projects (flyers, cards, etc.), stuff like that with the Intel Mac.
*I did find a refurbished Mini (starting bid at $399 & Buy it now for $450) from TCW Computers (Item #: 230368377067) currently on *bay that has the following:*
*# 1.66 GHz Intel Core Duo processor*
*# 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM*
*# 80GB 5400-rpm Serial ATA Hard drive*
*# Slot-loading SuperDrive with double-layer support (DVD+R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW) - Ports*
*# One FireWire 400 port (8 watts)*
*# Four USB 2.0 ports (up to 480 Mbps)*
*# DVI output - VGA output (using included adapter)*
*# Bluetooth - built-in Bluetooth 2.0+EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) module*
*# Wireless - Built-in 54 Mbps AirPort Extreme Wi-Fi (802.11g)*
*# Built-in 10/100/1000BASE-T (Gigabit)*
*# optional external USB Modem*
*# Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11 & Dual Boot with Windows XP Professional (OEM COA Sticker)*
*# Keyboard & Mouse*
*(I would need the USB modem as I have dial-up.*
*I have asked them 2-3 times on if the HD has been replaced, if it has a warranty etc. Some of my questions were answered, but not the ones on the HD and warranty. Have the feeling that maybe I should steer away from this deal! TCW Computers website says they’ve got an Apple store, but it doesn’t say anything about refurbished Macs or if they are an Apple certified refurbish business.*
From what I’ve read here on the group, I would probably be smart to get a refurbished one from the Apple Store. Also read that the Apple Care is cheaper through *bay. Do most of you out there recommend getting Apple Care through *bay or elsewhere (Apple wants $149.00 for it on the Mini.)? It will cost me more to get it at Apple and then put Windows XP on it, but it’s better to be “pound wise than penny foolish.” I’d have to buy the XP software as am sure the Dell’s won’t work and it’s Service Pack 1.
Sorry I’ve rambled on about this. Just want to put all my ducks in a row before putting hard earned money down on something that I might be sorry I bought.
Thanks.

I would echo BGreg's advice and stick to official Apple refurbished Minis sold through the store.apple.com site. They will have a 1-year warranty and be eligible for AppleCare. And they will have current OSX and iLife software.
The term "refurbished" is often abused by other retailers who apply it to used computers that have been returned by unhappy customers -- but have not actually been fully diagnosed or repaired.
The 1.66 GHz model you list is rather long in the tooth. At least get a Core2Duo model, rather than a CoreDuo.
The links to the offical Apple refurbs are here:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/FB138LL/A
http://store.apple.com/us/product/FB463LL/A
http://store.apple.com/us/product/FB139LL/A
http://store.apple.com/us/product/FB464LL/A
You'll have to check these links daily for a week or more to find them in stock.
I'd be very leery of buying AppleCare via *bay.
But lacomputercompany appears to sell genuine boxed AppleCare at prices close to Apple's educational price for AppleCare.
On another topic you brought up ... for desktop publishing on a budget I'd strongly endorse SwiftPublisher. Just enough features, just the right price -- and to my mind, works more intuitively than Apple's Pages program.

IPhoto wont install from mac mini original software discs

1.25Ghz G4 mini, 512MB RAM
Install discs are original mini disks ver. 10.3.7
w/ Xcode installed
upgraded via System update to 10.3.9
as installed by apple everything worked ok, but due to some system issues I had to reformat drive, and reinstall. iPhoto seems to have installed (at least there's an icon for it, and a window opens when icon is double clicked), but it will immediately quit when launched with an error that it is missing files it needs, and to reinstall from the iLife discs.
There was not a separate iLife disc included with the mini just the install DVD, and the OS 9 disc. The error doesn't say what files are missing, but a quick visit to the Console shows the following;
"iPhoto[384] Can't find ImageIO!"
I have tried reinstalling several times since, installing iPhoto only, all bundled software, and full reformat/reinstall, all with the same results. It seems that the install disc I got was faulty, and won't properly install the bundled software.
Is there any way to get just the missing ImageIO? From this website, or just some helpful poster?
mini Mac OS X (10.3.9)

garroth,
All I can tell you is take a look at this link to make sure you followed the correct steps.

Can i transfer my iPhoto file from old mac to new mac using iCloud?

I got a new mac and want transfer my Iphotos to my new mac using icloud. Is this possible? How? I registered both computers with Icloud.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately you can't use iCloud for this.
You can do this over a network, using an external HD, USB memory stick or DVD.

Transferring iPhoto Library from old Mac to new Mac

I'm trying to transfer my iPhoto library from my old mac to my new MacBook Air. My old mac (black macbook purchased July 2008 - MacBook4,1) is running OS 10.5.8 and the OS can't be upgraded. My iPhoto (ver 7.1.5) library needs to be prepared using the iPhoto Library Upgrader tool in order to transfer the library, but my OS doesn't support the program. It says the upgrader tool 1.1 requires OS X version 10.6.8 or later. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) or use an external hard drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - download and run the iPhoto library upgrader (it installs in the utilities folder of your Applications folder - double click it to run it), launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

Import iphoto library from old mac to new mac?

how can I import my iPhoto library from my old mac to my new mac?

Use the Migration Assistant, either on its own or while setting up the new computer, or move it through an external drive with a volume formatted as Mac OS Extended, or over a network, or use Target Disk mode.

How best to transfer iPhoto Library from old Mac to new Mac

I've just taken delivery of a gleaming new 17inch iMac. (I'm very proud!)
I have an old G3 iMac with approx 1000 photo's on iPhoto. (Not sure which version but that Mac is still running OSX 10.1.5 so it's a fairly early version).
What is the best way to transfer the photo's across? I'd like to keep the album structure in place if possible.
I'm fairly sure I can do this by connecting the macs with an ethernet cable but I haven't got a clue how to do it!
Thanks in advance for any help.

Given that you've already started using the iPhoto on the new machine then yes, copying the iPhoto Library Folder from the external HD will certainly affect things. If you copy it to the default location in your Pictures Folder it will overwrite the new one.
So, now you now have two libraries and you want to merge them. How much effort have you put into the new one? If it's only a roll or two you could simply take the rolls out of the NEW iPhoto Library Folder / Originals, then copy the OLD one over - letting it over write, then import the NEW photos.
If you have a lot of work, you can merge the two libraries. For that, you'll need iPhoto Library Manager
Regards
TD
ps - it is quite easy to do... until you create a second library.
