Migrating iPhoto to Mac Pro/Leopard

My iPhoto library is on an external hard disk. I'm migrating to a Mac Pro and iPhoto 7.1.2 from a G4. I am not using Migration Assistant. I want to leave the iPhoto library on the external hard disk. But, I want to import my library reference to my new iPhoto/Mac Pro. What would be the best way to go about this move?
Any tips would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
m

you do NOT import - you simply tell iPhoto where the library is - be sure your EHD is connected and launch iPhoto with the option (alt) key depressed and select the select library option - point to the iPhoto library on your EHD

  • After Migration to new Mac Pro, intermittent slow downs, SROD's

    I started with a my intel mac mini, Leopard OS was installed on an external Firewire drive, most applications were installed on another partition of that same drive. I bought a new mac pro 8 core, and an additional firewire external drive that I set up as my Time Machine drive on my old mac mini. I did a full backup of my old mac mini system and then attached the time machine drive and the other external hard drive to my new mac pro. I used the migration assistant to transfer files to my new mac pro. However, now there appears to be something occuring between my internal mac pro hard drive and the old external hard drive from my mac mini. When using some applications, Itunes, Logic Pro, Firefox, the ap will hang and appears to be trying to access files from the old external drive. I hope I'm being clear with what the issue is. I'm thinking duplicate files on this external drive and my internal drive are causing some problems? I need to know how to repair the issue, and preserve my data files?

    Thanks for your quick response. I know I've been somewhat confusing here. I'm running the latest Snow Leopard update on my mac pro now.
    Then please update your profile, as it still shows the mini and Leopard.
    And I'll ask a Host to move this to the Snow Leopard > Time Machine forum.
    All the aps and data were migrated onto the internal HD in the mac pro, and the aps and files and directory structures, etc. are still also on the external drive that used to comprise the OS of my mac mini. I'm thinking that may be part of the issue, but I'm new to Mac and not certain of that or how to fix the issues.
    Depending on how you did that, I'm not sure everything on those partitions got on to the new Mac's HD. Check that first, via the Finder.
    Let's start with iTunes and/or iPhoto.
    First see if you have the same stuff in both places. Use the Finder to see how large each is on the external HD, and compare that to the iTunes and iPhoto folders on your internal HD.
    If they're not on your internal HD at all, use these instructions to move them:
    Moving your iTunes Music folder
    Moving your iPhoto library
    If the versions on the external are newer than the ones on your internal, delete the ones on the internal and use those instructions to move from the external to the internal.
    But don't delete the versions on the external just yet. Eject and disconnect it, and make sure everything's fine. It won't hurt to leave the data there for a while, especially as long as it's disconnected.
    If the music or photos on your HD are the same, or newer, hold down the Option key while starting iTunes or iPhoto. That will give you a prompt where you can select which one you want to use.
    Once you've selected the ones you want, eject and disconnect the external. Then use as many apps as you can, to see if everything works properly and all your data is found.
    Without knowing what other apps you have, and how they work, I can't tell in advance whether any others will be looking for the external drive. If you get error messages, you'll have to deal with each app that seems lost.
    I'd be inclined to keep the old external "on the shelf" for quite a while, just to be sure nothing got missed.
    Have you started doing Time Machine backups of the new Mac yet? When you do, you'll get a prompt about whether to "re-use" the Mini's backups. See #B5 in the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum. You probably want to select "Re-use," especially if there's a considerable amount of space on your TM drive.

  • Questions about migrating to a Mac Pro from an old MacBook Pro

    My present setup is a 2006 MacBook Pro with 3 external drives. One external eSATA RAID1 for music, another eSATA RAID1 for photos and video/movies, and the 3rd (FireWire) is for Time Machine. The internal 320 GB boot drive has 2 Boot Camp partitions for Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7.
    Here's the new setup (as purchased):
    • Mid-2010 ( MacPro5,1 ) Mac Pro 6-core 3.33 GHz
    • 8 GB RAM (4x2 GB)
    • 8 TB HD (4x2 GB Seagates)
    • Apple RAID card
    Mulling this migration over, these are the things I'm wondering about:
    • I'll probably keep the 4x2 GB internals as a group, either going with two 2x2TB RAID1 volumes or perhaps considering a single 4x2TB RAID10 arrangement. The latter makes me a little nervous‡.
    (‡ +Why? Not a fan of striping in general - plus, with my present setup, a problem with one of my Venus eSATA RAID enclosures was easily testable by removing the disks from the other "good" enclosure and substituting the other "bad" enclosure's disks to test inside a "good" enclosure - i.e. it was nice to have redundancy+ ).
    Q. *Any thoughts either way on going with 2xRAID1 vs. 1xRAID10?*
    Q. *Any Apple RAID card horror stories?*
    • Therefore, I'm thinking of adding a cradle and disk(s) to the ODD_SATA ports. Probably a 256 GB SSD at a minimum for the boot drive.
    Q. *Any issues booting OS X from an ODD_SATA-connected SSD?*
    Q. *I understand you can't use Boot Camp on Apple RAID card-connected drives. True?*
    Q. *I also seem to be reading that you can't boot Windows in any guise from an ODD_SATA-connected drive (SSD or HDD). True as well?*
    Am I screwed? Forced to keep the MacBook Pro around for Boot Camp, no way to run it on the Mac Pro with this configuration?
    • Memory. I understand these boxes run their memory with Triple Channel.
    Q. *It sounds like at the very least I should rip out the 4th 2 GB DIMM. Probably replace all 4 with 3x4 GB or 3x8 GB (ECC) DIMMs, right?*
    Yikes. Long post. Sorry. That's enough for now, I think.

    now-disconnected iPass port
    I don't think the 2010 model you ordered HAS an iPass port. The new Apple RAID card does not use one.
    Follow a complicated procedure for trying to get the Mac to run all the SATA ports as AHCI so that Windows would 'see' all 6 of the SATA ports instead of what I presumed to be the current situation,
    I don't think that applies to 2009 and later models either. The six SATA port are all listed in my Mac PRO as AHCI and all should be equivalent:
    Serial-ATA Device Tree
    -Intel ICH10 AHCI
    . HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GH41N
    -Intel ICH10 AHCI
    . HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GH41N
    -Intel ICH10 AHCI
    . WDC WD360GD-00FLA2
    -Intel ICH10 AHCI
    . Kinston SSDNOW 30GB
    Intel ICH10 AHCI

    You sure are digging up some stale information in your research
    ... but you are rapidly becoming an expert on the way it USED to be.

  • Mac Pro/ Leopard/ Boot Camp/ XP and 2 ATI Radeon XT1900 ????

    I recently went surfaced from a hardware nightmare with my Mac Pro. I need 4 monitors on the XP pro/ boot camp side and was unble to do so using an added ATI XT1900 to my Mac Pro. The drivers would not successfully load. Also the added card buggered the original card. After uninstall and some trouble shooting I was able to get back to a functional configuration with 1 card.
    Now that Leopard is out with the new boot camp.... does anyone have experience (successful) with 2 video cards (ATI radeon xt1900) in boot camp/ XP pro??? I dont want to go through me last experience as my job depends on the XP/ boot camp working.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Dan

    Correct me if i'm wrong, but the original poster didn't ask or mention anything about Crossfire. (though as a side note, I have read that some people have sucessfully got their 7300gt's into SLI by purchasing a special dongle and downloading a hacked driver.)
    And as to whether a user would need two or more monitors for their needs is completely up to the them if it fits their needs, the way i see it the term 'waste' is subjective depending on the user and his/her needs.

  • Note regarding ATI X1900 XT with Mac Pro, Leopard

    To all who are experiencing any of the frequently reported problems with the hardware/software combination listed in the subject heading:
    I purchased the ATI X1900 XT as an upgrade fro my Mac Pro in January. I never experienced any issues with the card in OS X Tiger, but several months ago I began to experience overheating issues in Windows XP (Boot Camp) when playing graphics-intensive games. The overheating caused visible graphics corruption/artifacts, graphics system resets and even spontaneous system restarts. The frequency and severity of these symptoms actually increased over time, leading me to believe that the card was either defective or that the overheating was causing degenerative/cumulative damage to the graphics hardware.
    I recently upgraded to OS X Leopard, and all **** broke loose. Immediately after upgrading, I began to experience frequent graphics corruption/artifacts (in the form of spurious horizontal lines), system lockups/freezes and spontaneous system restarts. None of these issues were present in Tiger. The system became completely unreliable and essentially unusable.
    It was initially a popular belief that Leopard's graphics drivers were somehow buggy or incompatible with the X1900 XT. After my experiences, I don’t believe that’s the case. I think that the issues reported are symptomatic of hardware, not software problems. Leopard is merely a catalyst. Leopard's increased leverage of OpenGL stresses the graphics hardware in ways that Tiger did not, causing an overall increase in graphics hardware temperature. I believe that the glitches/artifacts/system freezes/restarts that I experienced were not due to buggy drivers, but due to the graphics card overheating as a result of the increased load placed on it by Leopard.
    I brought my X1900 XT in to my local Apple store today and asked for a replacement. Fortunately, they had one in stock, and they gave me a new card on the spot. The technician was apparently well aware of the issues, and mentioned that they have had a lot of similar problems with new iMacs.
    Since installing the new card, I have experienced no graphics corruption, system freezes or spontaneous system restarts, either in OS X Leopard or in Windows XP gaming.
    I would urge anyone who is experiencing problems with the X1900 XT (in either Windows or OS X) to have their card replaced by Apple - assuming that their card or system is still under warranty, that is.
    I suspect one of two possible scenarios is true:
    Theory #1: The Rev 1 X1900 XT is inherently flawed and has problems with overheating, which is exacerbated in OS X by upgrading to Leopard. Due to Leopard's greater leveraging of OpenGL, there is increased thermal stress placed on the card relative to Tiger. The overheating is evident in Leopard as graphics corruption/artifacts, system lockups/freezes and spontaneous restarts. The Rev 2 X1900 XT has (theoretically) corrected the problems inherent in Rev 1.
    Theory #2. The thermal management system of the X1900 XT (all revisions) is inherently flawed. The card will slowly cook itself over time, and the effects are degenerative and cumulative. As the age of the card increases, so will the occurrence of graphics corruption, system freezes and spontaneous system restarts, especially when playing graphics-intensive games or running OS X Leopard.
    I sincerely hope that Theory #1 is the case. I’ll be watching my system closely as I continue to use the new card, and hopefully there will be no further problems with overheating.
    If theory #2 turns out to be true, then Apple has a huge PR nightmare on its hands, as each X1900 XT for the Mac is essentially a ticking time bomb that will self-destruct within months of purchase.
    The funny thing is, this isn’t the first time I’ve had graphics card trouble with one of Apple’s “professional” towers. I bought a G5 several years ago when they were first released. I had problems with the stock nVidia graphics card in the form of what came to be known as the dreaded “black screen of death.” This became a commonly reported issue, experienced by many owners of the G5 in its first revision. Apple replaced my card and the problem never reoccurred. I’m hoping that I’ll be as lucky this time around.
    I think it’s apparent that Apple’s batting average with graphics cards isn’t exactly stellar. It’s curious, considering that Apple offers a very limited selection of graphics options for their towers. One would think that by Apple only offering 3 graphics options, they would be able to have fairly tight control over the quality of the hardware, and plenty of time and resources to devote to testing. Unfortunately, I’ve had more graphics hardware-related problems on my Macs than any PCs I’ve ever used. That’s embarrassing, and Apple needs to do much better than this.

    I replaced my G5 Quad with a Mac Pro 8-core. The Mac Pro's thermal design is far superior to the G5's. The G5 Quad's liquid cooling system has a much bigger task (IBM doesn't publish the thermal dissipation numbers on their PPCs but I suspect they are high) than the more efficient Intel Xeons. The G5 liquid cooling units are troublesome and the issue is something I think Apple is quietly solving by replacing failed liquid cooled G5's (that are still under warranty) with Mac Pros (a very smart PR move). My primary concern when I switched to a Mac Pro was issues with the X1900 XT graphics card failure rates posted on the web and in these discussions. The very latest generation of the X1900 XT (July 2007) are reported to be more reliable. Many G5 owners are still reporting failed cards. Given the much higher thermal environment and the remarks in this thread, I can now see why. The interior of a G5, especially Quad, gets too hot for this ATi card. I had the nVidia GeForce 7800 GT in my Quad. That was a very good card. Still, the issues with the ATi x1900 XT may indeed be a thermal design issue that AMD may need to either address directly, or turn to a 3rd party solution.
    I installed a 3rd party cooling alternative, Arctic Cooling's Accelero S1. It's a passive system that replaces that hairdryer fan with a large heat sink. The package includes upgraded heat sinks for the power regulator (much beefier than the stock), and for each memory chip. The heat sink is a large conductive cooling assembly that uses 4 heat pipes. The vendor claims that using this system increases the case temperature by 1°C, which is easily handled by the system cooling system. So far, their claim appears to be valid. Since there's no longer a fan, you can imagine how quiet the system has become. The only installation hitch is that the black support clips were made for the PC version and the Mac Version adds a beefy support rail on the spine of the card. The workaround is to trim off the lower tang of the clips so they just rest against the support rail.
    After reading this, I'm tempted to add the "Turbo" option, a couple of high volume low speed fans that fit on the radiator. I'm trying to "stress" the system by running SETI@Home 24/7 while doing all the other work to see how hot and how loud I can get this system. So far, no disappointments. This is the quietest workstation I've ever worked on. Even when "hot", the fans are not loud. The passive cooling system seems to work very well. I left Star Wars-Empire At War up and running in the menu for hours one day and it didn't seem to suffer from any ill effects. I have owned this system for just over a month. I will add more thermal load after I crank the system memory up to 24 or 32 GB. If there are any real cooling issues, I will find out about them next summer. I really dread the prospect of plunking down another $2k for the nVidia 4500 FX (I really don't need the 3D audio support) to get comparable video support.

  • After migrating to new Mac Pro Dreamweaver won't launch, says missing menus.xml file. How do I resolve this?

    After migration to a new Mac Pro Dreamweaver CS6 won't launch. It says it is missing menus.xml file. How do I resolve this?

    Hi rustyg12,
    Go to Applications/Adobe Dreamweaver CS6/Configuration/Menus/menus.bak
    You'll see a menus.xml there - it is a backup copy of the actual menus.xml file that DW uses.
    Copy it from that folder, paste it 1 level above (in Menus folder).
    Fire up DW. See if it works.

    thanks
    eric

    Migrating from a PPC Mac to an Intel Mac can be very problematical. I would definitely not migrate your entire system because you will end up replacing Intel specific software with PPC software, thus rendering your new Mac quite dysfunctional.
    A safer solution is to only transfer your personal data files such as your Music, Movies, Pictures, Sites, and Documents folders located in your Home folder.
    If you have third-party applications I recommend you reinstall them after upgrading them to universal binary versions wherever possible.
    You can also copy the /Home/Library/Mail/ and /Home/Library/Safari/ folders to their respective locations on the new computer. You can do the same with your /Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/ and /Home/Library/Application Support/iCal/ folders.
    The following has more information on migrating to Intel Macs:
    A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
    If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
    Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3 or G4 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
    Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
    Screensavers written for the PowerPC
    System Preference add-ons
    All Unsanity Haxies
    Browser and other plug-ins
    Contextual Menu Items
    Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
    Kernel extensions
    Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
    See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
    In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
    If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
    If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
    The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
    Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior (does not work), TechTool Pro (pre-4.5.1 versions do not work), SuperDuper (newest release works), and Drive Genius (untested) may not work properly on Intel-Macs. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries.
    Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.
    Additional links that will be helpful to new Intel-Mac users:

  • Security Update 2008-007; Mac pro; Leopard=lost internal HD

    I just said yes to the security update 2008-007 on my Mac Pro, running Leopard (10.5.5). On restart, my internal 500GB Western Digital Hard Drive does not mount. This is the second time this has happened. About a month ago, after installing a security update (probably 2008-006 but I don't remember), that drive crashed, failed, would not mount. Western Digital replaced it. I don't use Time Machine but I do back up to external firewire drives. It took me a couple of weeks to tediously re-set-up my new WD 500GB like the old one. All was well until I just ran the Security Update 2008-007. On restart, the new WD500 is gone.
    I am now looking at the various updates. I see there are ones for servers, for clients, and for Leopard. Is it possible one or the other is the right or wron one? Is there a way to tell what exactly happened?
    To say the east, this is big time annoying and has left me very hesitant about accepting Apple's update recommendations.
    Any help? Thanks

    Yeah. I agree it's a stretch. So too did the Apple "specialist." He agreed it's unusual but felt that indeed I got two WD hard drives in a row that failed. He suggested they sent me a refurbished one after the first one crashed. On the phone with Western Digital, they didn't argue at all and the tech guy said, "they will ship me a better drive." Nice, huh? better than what? And why not better the first time. Anyway, they are honoring this as they did the first one. But my confidence in WD drives has dropped. And, in spite of the unlikliness of Apple updates causing the problem, I'm leery there as well.
    Thanks for the tip on a method for updating. I'll follow it.

  • HT4052 IPhoto 812  mac pro laptop

    I have this app on my Apple Mac Pro but it has corrupted and not showing any of my pictures on my computer.  The pictures are all there under "all images" in my I Library but I cannot open them.  I tried downloading the app again but can't remember admin pw to install it on the laptop and to be honest is not all that sure that it was the way to go anyway.  Does anyone have any idea how to get my pictures and events back on Iphoto.  There are weird pictures showing on the IPhoto that are certainly not mine.

    I take it you're running iPhoto 8.1.2 so give this a try (just the same as Larriy's suggestion but with pictures ):  apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    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.

  • Question about migrating data from mac pro to new macbook

    Hello all,
    I ordered a new macbook today and i'm very excited. It will be the first time i've had two apple machines simultaneously. My question is in regards to getting my new macbook all stocked up with the files and apps currently residing on my mac pro.
    1. I don't know if by using migration assistant if the data is removed from the old machine and added to the new. I don't want that. I want everything currently on my mac pro to remain, unchanged.
    2. I'd normally use target disk mode, but no firewire on the macbook, so, no dice there.
    3. My startup disk and apps and such reside on one HDD in my mac pro, while my home folder, or user files, or whatever, reside on a separate HDD. will this cause a problem.
    Your input is much appreciated.

    It can be done with USB, but it is slower and less reliable.
    Ethernet works great, IF you have two FUNCTIONAL machines. The great thing about Firewire Target Disk mode was that if the HD/OS was corrupted, or the computer was for some reason unbootable you could still get data off of it quickly, without tools or special equipment. Firewire Target disk mode has saved my rear several times on every machine I have owned.
    The hard drive is fairly easy to remove on the aluminum Macbook. I would remove it and install it in an external Firewire enclosure temporarily to transfer your files quickly and reliably, then put the drive back in the Macbook.
    Firewire allows two operating modes. One is asynchronous, like USB which suffers from latency, bus contention and collisions.
    The other is isochronous mode, and it lets a device carve out a certain dedicated amount of bandwidth that other devices can't touch. It gets a certain number of time slices each second all its own. The advantages for audio/video should be obvious: that stream of data can just keep on flowing, and as long as there isn't more bandwidth demand than the wire can handle, nothing will interfere with it. No collisions, no glitches.

  • Mac Pro, Leopard 10.5.2, Photoshop CS3, 8800GT and Dual Monitors - Crashing

    Hi, I received my Mac Pro (with Nvidia 8800GT) earlier this week and set it up with my dual monitors. I soon discovered that Photoshop CS3 crashes when scrolling a 'zoomed in' image with dual monitors. Photoshop is setup so that all palettes are on the smaller samsung monitor and the main image window I'm working on is on the 23" cinema display.
    I've updated both the OS and CS3 but cannot solve the problem unless I switch to a single view setup, ie, drag all the palettes over to the larger monitor so that photoshop is no longer dual monitor. Then it works fine. Although it's a workaround, it's not an ideal situation. Has anyone else found this to be an issue? Have you found a solution?
    I've also re-installed Photoshop, visited a genius bar and changed mice!
    Thanks, any help would be appreciated.
    -N

    My Mac Pro had been running 3 Dell monitors on two NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT cards for months, and with the (I think) Safari update all of a sudden the Mac freezes, 1 monitor displays garbledy gook, and the other is blank with a blinking power light. That is, until yesterday when the power light refused to come on. So I says to myself, "Self, how about testing them on my iBook?" The 1704FPT will not power on, plugged in to a computer or not. The 1707FP shakes like crazy when starting up on the iBook, then settles in and seems to work. Meanwhile, the SP2008WFP is working alone on the Mac Pro, but not totally trouble-free. What the heck is going on?
