IPhoto Transfer from Computer to Computer

my boss wants me to put the entire iPhoto library I have been organizing onto his computer. Do I copy and paste? Use iPhoto Library Manager(the paid version)? or Migration Assist? He wants all albums and keywords and faces and etc. to stay in tact as well. any help or reassurance that one of these three will copy over and not replace his existing iPhoto library. Thanks so much

None of the above.
To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

Old iphoto library from an old computer's hard drive doesn't open anymore

My old computer broke some time ago, but I got the hard drive saved with its iPhoto library. I used to be able to open the old iPhoto from the old computer's hard drive with my new computer connecting them, but now it says that the old iPhoto cannot be opened because I have to update to a newer version, but the only button I can press is 'quit'. So I don't know how to get a newer version of iPhoto to my old hard drive or how to get the pictures out of the old iPhoto. I have a separate iPhoto in my new computer.
When I press 'show content' of the old iPhoto, there are no pictures anywhere.
Please help, I have my old pictures there!
Thank you!
Best regards,
Petra

Petra, do you mean, you opened the old iPhoto application from the old computer on your new computer or did you open the iPhoto Library?
If you have a newer iPhoto version on your new computer, try to open your old iPhoto Library with the newer iPhoto version on your new Mac.
What was the old iPhoto version on the old Mac, and which version do you have now? And which version of MacOS X?
If you now have iPhoto 9.5.1 on your new computer, launch this version while holding down the options key (sometimes called alt key). This will bring up the library chooser panel. Select the old library on your old drive. iPhoto should offer to upgrade the library., unless your old library has been created by a very old iPhoto version.
If the old library had been created with iPhoto '08 or earlier, you need first to run the iPhoto Library Upgrader to prepare the library.
See this document: iPhoto '11: About the Library Upgrader
After running the upgrader, proceed as described above.

Please help!!How do I transfer from a BROKEN computer to a new computer

Hello!
I really have a problem and I hope someone can help me out. My computer recently broke and I basically cant turn it on anymore (it will shut off after like 2min). I already bought a new computer but the problem is that I had all my music (including many CD's I bought at Itunes) in my itunes on my old computer.
I know that a computer store can probably save my files somehow from my old computer but I am worried that I wont be able to transfer my itunes including music because of copyrights?! I know that there is information in the Apple support centre about how to transfer music to a new computer, but this support is aimed at people who can still USE their old computer. I would really really appreciate if someone has an advice. If you know what to do, please include it step-by-step so I can follow it (sorry I am not very advanced with computers...).
I do have music on my Ipod nano but it only has 4GB so its only a small portion of all the music I have.

Just be sure to match the external case to the type of internal drive you have. So if your computer uses good old IDE/PATA drives, then get an IDE/PATA to USB2 ensloure. But if your computer uses Serial ATA drives (aka SATA) then be sure you get an external that supports that.
Alternatively, for about $20 or less you can buy a cable that will hook up to either type of drive and hooks to the computer via USB . No enclosure used, so these cables are meant to hook up to bare drives, mainly for temporary access to various drives you have laying around. Here is an example...

which will let you hook up either 2.5 inch laptop drives or 3.5 inch full size drives and you can use either PATA or SATA drives with it.

You should copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

Iphoto transfer from timemachine macbookpro data to new macbook air?

Hi Folks.
I have an external HD with Timemachine saved data from my 2011 Macbook Pro which I recently sold. I now have the brand new Macbook Air 11.6 inches and, on opening Timemachine and searching my external hard drive I am unable to find my iphoto photos that were saved onto the timemachine external drive from my old macbookpro. All my other documents from my macbook pro are available on the external drive, including all my photos that were not saved on iphoto. However, all the iphoto pictures from the last 2 years, family pics, holidays photos etc etc seem to have completely vanished! What has happened??How do I find them and install them onto my new macbook air?? Very puzzled and highly traumatised!

This this message appears:
"The iPhoto library is a Time Machine backup, and so cannot be used as the main library. Reopen iPhoto with the Option key held down to choose another library".
Correct. When you click the iPhoto Library via the Finder, it tries to open it with the iPhoto app. But you cannot open backups with an app. You must Resrore that iPhoto Library somewhere to use it.
Which I do. Which then gives me one library option - iphoto. When I click to open, iphoto does open, but only with the new macbook air uploaded photos. My 2 years of photos of my macbook pro iphoto do not appear.
Also correct. It's opening the one you chose, not the one in the backups (you can't choose that one).
Really confusing for me. How can I open a file from March 2013 and have only August 2013 pictures in there from my new computer.
Again, you must restore the backup copy somewhere, then open the restored copy.
Try this: Point the Finder to your computer (open a Finder window and either select your computer in the sidebar or press Shift+Cmd+C). Then Enter Time Machine. Do not select anything in the Finder window yet, but select a backup in the TimeLine that was made on the MBP. That should not be grayed out, and you should be abel to select it.
Then navigate to your home folder (inside the /Users folder) and the iPhoto library. Do not click the usual Restore button at the lower right. Instead, select the iPhoto Library, control-click, choose the Restore iPhoto Library to... option, and choose an alternate location, such as your Desktop (not the location of your existing MBA iPhoto Library).
That will restore the MBP's iPhoto Library to your Desktop, and you should be able to open it with the iPhoto app (by starting iPhoto with the Alt/Option key as above).

IPhoto transfer from old mac problem

I just bought a new mac, and want to transfer all my old photos from my old iphoto, when i copied iPhoto library from HDD to my new mac new location, it would stop copying halfway through due to -36 error. I have read up a little regarding iPhoto library manager as the solution, but other than that is there another way to transfer all my iPhotos pictures into my new mac? NEED SOME HELP PLEASE.

IO error
1) Corrupt file system
2) Failing drive
The former is much more likely in your case.
'The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “iPhoto Library” can’t be read or written.
See this article for more information:

If the permissions on your iPhoto library are incorrect, you may be able to resolve this issue by using the instructions in this article.

HT1229 Can I Transfer iPhoto Pics From A Old Computer To A New Computer?

About to get a new computer soon and I want to transfer my pictures from iPhoto from computer A to computer B. Anyway it can be done? I need to get this resolved within a week if possible. Any help I will be grateful.

ACtually migration assistant has a poor record moving the iPhoto library between computers.
Allan recommended "Setup Assistant" and not "Migration assistant", Larry. The "Setup Assistant" directly after the system has been installed, and before any new user account has been created, avoids all the permissions and access control list errors and makes a much better job.

I found an old iPod classic of mine. It's not synced to my new MacBook Pro. How can I get the music and photos off of it and on to my new computer? When I plug it in to my new computer it wants to erase what is on it and transfer from my new computer.

I found an old iPod classic of mine that is synced to a computer that is long gone. I want to get the music and photos from this old iPod onto my new computer. Every time I hook the iPod up to my new computer it wants to delete what is on the iPod and replace with the contents of the iTunes that is currently on the new computer. I don't want to do that. I want to keep what is on the old iPod and transfer it to iTunes. Any help? Thanks!

See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

New Playbook won't accept file transfer from blackberry or computer

I bought a Tablet 3 days ago and spent an insane amount of time searching for an answer. It bridges fine with my 9700 and I can go back and forth, my wifi connection / bluetooth are fine.
When I try to send photos from my 9700 to my Tablet, I get a message saying tranfer failed unable to connect.
When I plug it to my computer via USB, I cannot transfer photos or music either - connection failed.
What is going on? It is not my connections or bluetooth or wi-fi.
Is it a defective Tablet?

I spent a total of 9 hours on the phone with 3 different Tech Support people and finally worked but what they had me do totally messed up my computer. The Playbook does not work the same way as your cell phone so a lot of computers / servers won't accept it.
I had enough and returned it, got an iPad instead and never had any problems.
Main reason: it finally worked on my computer but still didn't work on my laptop or my boyfriend's computer.
Apparently it's a huge problem across the board and they are aware of that. Too late for me.

Transfer from palm to computer????

All of my datebook was erased from my computer when work did an upgrade. Is there a way to transfer the data back onto the computer or will have to retype in all appts and such?
Thanks!
Post relates to: Palm Z22

Hello Leenita and welcome to the Palm fourms.
Is the data still on your Z22? If it is, once Palm Desktop is installed (you will need local administrator rights added to your Windows account for the duration of the software install and first HotSync), you can set the HotSync conduits to Handheld overwrites Desktop and perform a HotSync to reload the missing data.
Also, if your old computer is still available, you can use Palm Desktop to export the data and than import it into your new computer with Palm Desktop already installed.

Problems with my Ipod, transfer from Ipod to computer.

I have problems to get my files from my Ipod to my computer, after i had some problems with the computer and formated it.
Now i can't get any songs from my Ipod to my computer.
BUt i can do it the other way, from my computer to my Ipod.
I hope there is someone that can help me, since I did transfer all my music from my computer to Ipod before formating it and now i can only play it on my Ipod. To bad if you ask me and i do not want to loos all my music.

I did try, but then i might loos all that i do have on my Ipod and that would be very bad. So the problem is still there and i do want to keep all that i do have on my Ipod.
Since i have bought all of it from I tunes and i have formated my computer and lost all of it from that one, then i did transfer all to the Ipod to save it, but now i can still only play it on my Ipod.

Easy transfer from ipod to computer mac

I have brought my apple MacBook Pro as of yesterday - and do love it, but I am having problem with get my ipod library transfer to the mac. I phoned support they advised me to down load the subject line (a free download) which then should work --- it didn't!..
Please can you help me?

You can only "transfer" purchased music from the iPod to your computer. Any music you ripped from CDs or purchased elsewhere will have to be moved (either fromt he computer you originally synced with or using third-party software.
If you used third-party software and it didn't work, it would be helpful if you told us what you used and what happened.
Also...are you really running OS 9? If so, which of version of iTunes do you have? It could be that a much older version of iTunes is not compatible with the current third-party apps available to do this.
