Migrating photos from laptop album to desktop album

I just got back from a month-long holiday where I used iPhoto on my MBA to manage photos during the trip. I want to move them over to my iMac iPhoto library at home. Is there a way to merge the libraries or do I just need to export the photos to my iMac and them import them from there? Any suggestions?

Aaron
You can do the Export -Import route but I think the best way to move Events/Albums?Pics and associated metadata between Libraries is to use iPhoto Library Manager.

  • Hi. Migrated photos from Photoshop Album to Phtoshop Elements 13. Lost all tags Any ideas?

    Hi. Migrated photos from Photoshop Album to Photoshop Elements 13. Lost all tags Any ideas?

    I'm not sure but it sounds a lot like the question I posed to the forum a little later today.  It may be that the newer versions of PSE are not compatible with transfering all the Categories, Sub Categories and Tags from versions up to PSE 10.  I am presently using PSE 10 because I couldn't figure out how to save all the organization I have put into Elements over the past 10 years or so.
    I'm hoping for an answer to my question.

  • Is it possible to drag photos from CDs to an iPhoto album?

    Is it possible to drag photos from CDs to an iPhoto album?  When I try, it creates a new event and also a "sub-album" in the original album. 
    I am trying to import old photos for my daughter's senior video and senior yearbook page.  I don't want to create a lot of new "events" in iPhoto.

    Drag them from the CD to a folder on the Desktop.  Then you can drag that folder into the open iPhoto window onto the Albums title in the left hand pane.  That will create an single Event and album with the same name as the folder. If you don't want the album just drag the folder anywhere into the open iPhoto window except the left hand pane.

  • How do I add an individual photo from a stack to an album?

    I'm trying to add a photo from a stack to an album. However, even if I un-stack the photos in the parent folder & copy a single photo into the album when I then re-stack the original photos they all appear in the album too. Is there a way around this or do I just have to leave all my pictures un-stacked?
    Thanks for any help you can give.

    You can't include an item from a stack in an album. What you include in the album, is the link to the top level member of the stack. If you change the order of files in the stack, that is reflected in the album.
    Best solution in my opinion : temporarily expand the stack, select the wanted item and export it somewhere. Then 'import' it in the organizer and put it in your album.

  • I have iphoto 08 version 7.1.5.  I copied photos from recent - last import into albums.  I then deleted the photos and emptied the trash. Today all the albums are empty and the photos are nowhere in the library.  Have I lost them all?

    OK, here are a set of screenshots with my step by step - maybe you will be able to spot where I've gone awry:
    I find a photo in the Library that I will delete from an album:
    I go down to my Albums and find the picture in one of them:
    I hover over the pic so the little down arrow appears in the bottom right-hand corner. I click on it, then click on the Trash Can in the window that drops down:
    Gone from the Album:
    Gone from the Library:
    In the Trash:

  • How do I move a photo from Photostream to a folder/album in Photostream?

    How do I move a photo from Photostream to a folder/album in Photostream?

    When I click on PhotoStream in iPhoto, I have two "categories":  My Photos, and Family and Friends Photos.  Under My Photos I have the following albums:  "My Photo Stream", "Miscellaneous", "Grandchildren", and "Family Photos".  All photos that I move from anywhere else automatically go into 'My Photo Stream".  I would like to move (or copy) some of the photos from "My Photo Stream" into one of the other three albums.
    Hope I have done a better job of explaining my situation.  Thanks again for your help.  Dick

  • Dragging photos from iPhoto to the Desktop

    Hi Folks, can anyone help?
    When I drag photos from iPhoto to the desktop, a plus sign appears on the dragged image and a copy is created on the desktop. That's fine and that's how it should work.
    I have 1 roll (out of some 300) with some 200 photos where this does not work. Currently, I am not in a position to move a copy from that roll in iPhoto to the desktop.
    Any idea where the issue is?
    Thanks for your help!

    Are you getting an error message that says something to the effect that one of the files are busy? If so this is usually due to the original files sharing the same file title in the Finder. An easy way to get around this is to use the export feature of iPhoto and choose "use album name" It is something like this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iPhoto/6.0/en/hlp215.html Try exporting them to a folder that you create on your desktop. If you use the export feature iPhoto can rename the files so they don't share the same title.

    how do I download photos from laptop to ipad

    You can also email the photos to yourself, open the email on your iPad and save the photo to your Camera Roll. But for a large number of photos, the above referenced syncing is better. Just be aware that synced photos from iTunes can only be deleted the same way - using iTunes.

  • Transferring Photos From Laptop to ipad mini

    How do I transfer photos from laptop to my ipad mini?

    You can e-mail them to yourself.
    You can upload them to something like dropbox then download them onto your ipad
    If you get the camera connection kit and an SD card you can put the photos onto the SD card (there is a naming convention to follow) then export them off the SD card onto your iPad.
    There are photo syncing apps although I don't have one to recommend
    You can use iTunes to sync them onto your ipad (although what you sync on via iTunes you must use iTunes to sync off when you're done with them so it may/may not be the best way for you)

  • How do I transfer a photo from iPhoto or the Desktop onto my Samsung phone GT S5830i ?

    Can anyone please tell me how I can transfer a photo from iPhoto or the Desktop onto my Samsung Galaxy Ace GT S5830i phone ? The phone won't connect to Kies.  I've uninstalled Kies.  I've tried with Bluetooth and USB cable; all to no avail. I'm running Mavericks on a Mac.  Many thanks in anticipation,  Derek.

    You can export the image from iPhoto to the desktop
    File -> Export
    This User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
    Unfortunately, the rest of your query - i.e. - getting it from the desktop to that phone is one more for a Samsung forum.

  • Easiest way to transfer photos from my old Windows desktop to new MacBook?

    That does not create a backup since the photos are on the same disk as the iphoto library, it simply wastes disk space - when the computer or the disk fails or the computer is stolen everything is gone as it is all in the same place - to have a backup you need a copy on a different disk - if you drag the photo from the external disk onto the iPhoto icon in the the dock iPhoto will import them (be sure that the default setting for "copy imported items to the iPHoto library" is checked - do not uncheck it - then you will have the photos in iPhoto and a backup on the external drive
    You also need to get an external drive about 2 to 2 1/2 times the size of the iphoto library formatted mac OS extended (journaled) and start running timeMachine so you always have hourly backups

    What?
    I did mention using an external drive, did i not?  Copying the photos to the external drive, and then copying the photos from the external drive to the mac. means they now exist in the external drive as well as the new Mac, the external drive is now effectively a backup of the photos. . 
    I never mentioned anything about iPhoto.   Just a straight copy though Windows Explorer, and Finder on the Mac.

    Why can't I drag photos from iphoto to my desktop?  I've been able to before.

    Because you have a problem and you need to fix it
    with no information except it does not work no one can give any more help than that - remember that we are jsut users like yourself and know nothing except what you tell us - which in this case was nothing except it does not work
    Some details like the OS version, version of iPhoto, what does happen and what does not ahppen, any recent changes, ect would at least give someone a chance to try to assist you

  • How to import photo from laptop to iphone? is it possible?

    how to import photo from laptop to iphone? is it possible to do so?

    You're welcome.
    The photos are imported from the Camera Roll, not synced.
    Mac or Windoze PC?
    Which application on your computer are you using for the import?
    With a Mac, both iPhoto and the Image Capture application include an option and a prompt to delete the photos from the Camera Roll are the import process is complete - as when importing photos from any other digital camera.
    The Windoze Scanner and Camera Wizard includes the same.
