Move photos from iPhoto to Aperture on different computer

I have a macbook pro and when I'm on vacation I loaded my photos into iPhoto 11 and edited them.  Now that I'm home, I want to move these photos into Aperture 3 on my Mac Pro computer.  What's the best way to do this?

Copy that iPhoto 11 Library to the Mac Pro and then import it to Aperture there.

  • I can't move photos from iPhoto to my secondary hard drive or to a burn folder.  I have never had a problem with this before.  This is something new.   They will not drop into either folder.  Nothing happens.

    I can't move photos from iPhoto to my secondary hard drive or to a burn folder.  I have never had a problem with this before.  This is something new.   They will not drop into either folder.  Nothing happens. 
    I checked my secondary harddrive and there is plenty of memory.
    I emptied my burn folder but the photos still will not drop into it.
    I created a new burn folder, no luck with this either.
    230 photos is the maximum size of the events I am trying to move from iPhoto to save elsewhere.
    I have shut down and restarted my computer.   No change. The photos still will not drop out of iPhoto.
    My Mac Computer Storage shows that I have 62.2GB free out of 249.2GB (movies, photos and contacts taking up the most space)
    My Lacie External Harddrive (2TB capacity) shows that I have 1.79TB available.  It shows that 207,729,520,640 bytes (207.73 GB on disk) are used.
    I have never had this problem before.  It is usually very easy to move my photos from iPhoto.
    I am not a computer expert (I work in surgery so don't have a need for lots of computer knowledge) so please explain in simple terms.  
    Thank you so much for any help you can provide.
    I really appreciate it.

    YES Terence!  Thank you. Exporting allowed me to move my photos from iPhoto into the Burn Folder on my desktop.   But that doesn't explain why I'm having to go that route now.   Have I done something (accidentally changed some setting) on my computer that will not allow me to just click and drag anymore?   I really liked the convenience of the click and drag option. 
    I don't have the time tonight to export and burn a lot of CD/DVDs.  I'll try that tomorrow and make sure my photos are moving properly.  I also need to export photos to my external hard drive to make sure that route is working. 
    Wouldn't you know that my Apple Care Plan runs out this Wednesday?!  I need to make sure everything is working properly before that expires. 
    Thank you so much for your help.   I really, really appreciate it.

  • How do i move photos from iPhotos to an extern hard disk

    how do i move photos from iPhotos to an extern hard disk

    Specifically from?
    You export them: File -> Export
    This User Tip

    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
    Or if you want to, you can keep the images in iPhoto and move the Library to an external:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library 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.

    How can I move photos from iPhoto to Finder?

    It is better to export (file menu ==> export) since when you export you control exactly what you get - see the user tip on exporting for details
    When you drag and drop you get the current preview with limited Metadata

  • HT3412 I recently moved all my photos from iphoto to Aperture. I had several iphoto books and cards in my project file. When everything was moved to Aperture I can't find any of the books or card projects. Are they gone or can they be restored?

    I recently moved all my photos from iphoto to Aperture. I had several iphoto books and cards in my project file. When everything was moved to Aperture I can't find any of the books or card projects. Are they gone or can they be restored?

    1 - without specifics I have no idea how to help
    2 - the question was "are you trying to use them in iPhoto? " - it sounds like you are - to do so you will have to export them from Aperature and import into iPhoto
    3 - for information on how to use them in Aperature then you need to ask about how to use Aperature in the Aperature forum as it does not involve iPhoto

  • When importing photos from iphoto to Aperture....

    When importing photos from iphoto to Aperture 3 it shows two versions of each image. One is original and one is iphoto edited.  It shows this for every picture even if it was never edited in iphoto.  Has anyone ever experienced this?  Is so, what image should I use to edit in iphoto?

    This is asked and covered a lot here, a search of the list will bring up numerous other threads covering this. Also the More Like This box on the right side of the page will show you other posts on this topic.
    This post, Duplicates when importing from iPhoto is the most recent example.
    Briefly iPhoto took even the most trivial change to an image as an edit and created a new image. The most common reason for this is rotated images.
    As for which image of the two you want to keep, that's entirely up to you. If there is really no difference between the two then you can keep either it makes no difference.
    The thread I linked to above will explain how to use Aperture's filters to gather up all of one or the other.

  • Can you move photos from iphoto to a cd-r disc

    Can you move photos from iphoto onto a blank CD-R disc? If so, how?

    Take the photos you want to burn from iPhoto and put them in a folder on your desktop. Then, insert a blank CD and drag the photos onto the CD icon. Wait for them to finish uploading onto the disk and eject it. Insert it again just to see if this works; double click on the CD icon and ypu should see the same folder, with all of your photos in it. Hope this helps.

  • Move photos from iPhoto to Pictures.

    I want to move photos from iPhoto to Pictures. I exported about 16000 yesterday and trashed the iPhoto ones (still in Trash) but when I looked at the contents of the iPhoto library, they still appeared there.  Why is this?
    If I've modified a pic, then export to Pictures, does the edited version get exported too?  If not, then is it deleted when I trash the iPhoto version?
    Also, it seems that the date when the photo was taken is lost when I export ( it takes on the date of export).  Is there a way to retain it?

    Original is just that: a byte by bye copy of the file you imported.
    Current: Is the current version of the shot - this is as it exists in the Library. Exporting this will miss metadata.
    The quality of the photo you export will depend on the export setting you choose.
    You know, if you take a couple of seconds, iPhoto is much more flexible and easier to use than the Finder. The orgaisation, searching and sorting options are much richer. The problem with the Finder is simple: it organise files. But it makes no distinctions at all between kinds of files, and so offers exactly the same opportunities for organising your Photos, your Music, your Word files. It takes no account of standard metadata - like Exif date and so on.
    iPhoto supports Raw on most cameras, and can be used as a "front end" to Photshop.
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    One small conceptual leap and it might make things easier: That Jpeg is not your Photo. Easiest way to elaborate on this: In my iTunes Library I have an mp3 called 'Let_it_Be_The_Beatles'. But that mp3 is not the song. The Beatles never wrote an mp3. The wrote a song, recorded it and a copy of that recording is stored in a container. That container is adapted to the special opportunities of music, and it's an mp3 file.
    Similarly, that Jpeg is just a container for your Photo.
    Iphoto is about Photos. Import them, forget about the jpegs. Tiffs whatever, because they're just containers. Organise your photos - leveraging the special opportunities offered by the fact that they are photos -  and then anything you need to do with or to them can be done either with or via iPhoto.
    When you export, the export dialogue simply asks you a: what you want to export (that's the kind) and everything else is about the container you want to put the Photo in.
    Because, unless you export Originals, you're not exporting the file you imported, you're exporting the Photo you imported, and putting it in a new box.

  • Move photos from iPhoto to iPad NOT using iTunes

    I need to move photos from iPhoto (MacBook Pro) to a friend's iPad.  Can't use iTunes as it reconfigures her pad sync to my Mac from her computer (a windows machine at her office) and changes everything on her pad.  Tried an app called "Wondershare TransPod for Mac". It didn't recognize the pad (iPad Mini iOS 6.1.2).  Any suggestions??

    This has nothing to do with iPhoto for the Mac except a shared PhotoStream - http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ - could do it if you both have the correct hardware and software - otherwise post in the iPad forum -

  • Hi: How do I move photos from iphoto to the "pictures" file?

    Hi: How do I move photos from iphoto into the Pictures file? I just purchased a digital camera and the software is only available for photos in the pictures file. Thanks.

    What camera and software is it and why do you want to use it instead of iPhoto? Is this software that came with the camera?  You don't need to use it as iPhoto is all you need. That software is not compatible with iPhoto so you would have to abandon iPhoto if you want to use the camera's software.
