Move pictures between computers

How can i get older pictues from my mac book to my desktop? Can I use an Ipod?

You can network the PowerBook and the Macbook with an ethernet cable. That's how I move most stuff among our five active Macs. See this for instructions on network file sharing:

BTW, you have a PowerBook and a MacBook but your post ended up in teh forum for pre-2006 iMacs. I'll ask theHosts to move it to an appropriate forum.

Can't move pictures between folders in a library

For some reason I cannot drag-move pictures selected in the filmstrip or in the grid view to another folder in the library folder tree.Clicking on a picture in the filmstrip and dragging to another folder does not produce the familiar hand associated with moving files.
This just started happening. It may be tied to inadvertent setting of read-only status in the underlying hard-disk folders. I was able briefly to recover the ability to move files by un-setting the folders's read-only status via windows properties. After the first time this did not work again, as if something was actively setting read-only. I don't know that this is the cause, it just seemed to track for a moment (untill it didn't.. )
Is there a LR3 setting that would lock files as read-only, or otherwise disable the ability to organize pictures using drag and drop?
Thanks in advance,

Can't move pictures between tabs

First, let me start out by saying I am new to Photoshop Elements. I am using PSE 12 for digital scrapbooking. Last week, all of a sudden, I am unable to use the move tool to drag and drop an imported picture from one tab to another. In the past I was able to do this without any problem, did a setting get changed somehow? I thought about re-installing the program, but I wasn't sure how that works with the serial number.
I'm using Photoshop 12 on Windows 8
Thanks in advance!

Are you using photoshop elements 12?

Move clips between computers

I have a desktop and laptop, and wish to be able to move clips and projects between the machines as i work on them.
Ideally i would like ot have them on my NAS but really struggling with the interface, i cannot even find a way to export anything unless its a project.
Problem is iwhile i am away i download to my laptop, but want to work on the projects on my desktop.
I am using version 10.0.1, which is confusing as i believe its the latest version but there is much on here about imovie 11!
I am fairly new to mac, and completely new to imovie,

The phrasing of your last sentence suggests you did not install FCE from a DVD. If you didn't it is highly likely that it is incorrectly installed.
If this is so, run http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcs_remover.htm to completely remove all traces before reinstalling properly.

Movie transfer between computers

Hi All,
I sometimes download rental movies from the itunes store to my intel imac, but then I want to transfer that movie to my mac mini which is hooked up to my flat screen. Is there an easy way to do it directly and within itunes? BTW, everything's wireless and authorized. Thanks, mj.

"Can I play my rental on more than one device?
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV, iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4, iPod touch (4th generation), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer."

Move files between computers

I have a new macbook air and a 5 year old iMac. I want to move some files from the iMac to the air. What's the easiest way to do it? I thought I could network the two together with my modem/router. They can see each other but file sharing doesn't seem to be working even though I'm trying to enable it. Do I need another piece of hardware such as an Airport base station?

Thanks useless,
This would work, I think. I don't have the Thuderbolt/Firewire connection I would need, although I could buy the required converter. I was hoping to do it wirelessly. Can I do the same thing wirelessly through my modem/router?

A droplet to move file between computers on different networks?

Hey all!
I have a Mac Mini working as the media server for my TV. I use the same Mini to download all my torrents, since it's connected directly to my router.
I was wondering if anyone can think of a way to create a droplet (or something else with similar functionality) so that I can use my Macbook Pro remotely from work to initiate torrent downloads on my Mini at home. I understand how it'd be possible to do so with VNC, but I'm more interested in something simpler (like a droplet between my laptop and my Mini).
Thanks geniuses!

The only seamless way to control your mac mini remotely would be to use screen sharing (VNC). The other way would be to use ssh to remotely log in, but that would only give you command-line accessibility to the Mac Mini. There may be a couple of other options, however.
For one, it sounds like you might want to initiate a torrent download remotely, using a torrent file that you have remotely. There are some torrent programs that have the ability to "watch" a given folder for new torrent files and then immediately start up the transfer when new torrents are detected in that folder. As such, you could share that folder and then access it remotely using AFP. All you'd need to know is your home ip address and then you'd use the command-K key sequence to "connect to" and then enter the ip address. After logging in you could then drag the torrent you ahve on your Macbook to the shared folder on your Mini and after the transfer the torrent program running on your Mini would automatically start up the transfer.
You could then make an alias on your Macbook of the mounted shared folder, so it will be easier to access in the future; however, this would require the ip address to be static (most home internet accounts dont have static ip addresses).

Unable to move photos between albums in search mode

I am unable to move picture between albums when I have done a search for a title etc. eg. search for 'Leeds' brings up 20 pics one album and 15 in another, but the two albums are several years apart (possibly 100's of rolls!).
Why am I unable to then drag the pics from one roll to another? Is this a known issue? Very annoying when dealing with various project over various years and the only way is to drag the pics all the way down, often getting lost!!
Any advice?
Thanks

You may be able to do it as follows:
1 - assign a unique keyword to each of those files. Something like "AAAAAAAA" will stand out when you're looking for it.
2 -set the view options to View keywords only.
3 - set the sort option to sort by keyword.
4 - now look for that unique keyword, select them all and create a new roll. To see the new roll you'll have to reset rolls to be viewed.
If there are more than one keyword for those photos, the the first keyword assigned to that photo will determine where it falls in the listing of photos. So it's best if there are no keywords other than the unique one.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Moving pictures between libraries

Greetings, is there a convenient way to move pictures between libraries. Copy and paste doesn't work. I have tried the import function but the other libraries are grayed out. Any thoughts. Thanks

put the picture(s) in an album then choose: File>>Export>>Album as new library. Then import that library to the library you wish to move to. You could just export the master, but you'd lose any work you've done.You could also export the version, but you'd "bake in" any work you've done.

How keep / move libraries between MacPro an MacBook Pro ?

I'm running instances of Aperture on both my Macbook Pro and my MacPro. I need to be able to "migrate" (or move) pictures between the machines, so that the desktop machine is the permenant home, and the Macbook keeps just recent stuff.
Is there a good way to move the Aperture library, or specific projects / folders from one machine to another ? Or, do I have do an export > import ?
Thanks.

Since you can create libraries at will, you can just rename the library on the mbp, copy it to the macpro, and open it from there (you can put it where you want it, make sure aperture is not running, then double click it to automatically set Aperture's prefs to that library, or you can just go to aperture's prefs and choose that library file, quit, and relaunch aperture).
Then for new stuff brought in on the mbp, you can export the project(s) and import it on your macpro as needed, deleting projects from the mbp as you wish (and deleting the stand-alone exported project on your macpro after it's imported so as not to waste space).

HT3819 how do I share movies/music between my computers. I have opened shared on both computers and both are on, but i am not able to drag anything from one to the other. Does anyone know where the settings button is on the bottom of the itunes screen?

Oops, I forgot a step between 7 and 8 ... before syncing the iPhone I need to explicitly send the document back to iTunes on the iPhone, or the changes won't come over at all ...
and then one more thing ... Numbers on iOS does NOT recognize a number of key features of the OSX app, such as conditional formatting ... so after editing my document on iOS and syncing it back to OSX on my Mac, all of those settings are lost (no more conditional formatting, have to do it all over again)
What am I doing wrong ?

Can you share photos between computers on a local time machine network. I have iMac with lots of pictures I would like to view on my MacBook Air. Does anyone know how to do this?

How do i move adobe licences between computers

I need to move adobe versions between computers, can I uninstall and re install on the computers I need using the same serial numbers?
Also Can I also have a record from adobe of what our organisation has purchased?

You will have to manually transfer the files from one computer to the other using whatever method is easiest for you. (network, DVD, CD, hard drive) Or, put files on network drive. That's what I do.

How to move pictures from Photoshop Elements 3 to 12

I recently got a new computer. On the old one I had Photoshop Elements 3.0; on the new one I have PE 12. Using Adobe's "Chat" line I asked this question and they told me it couldn't be done - I was SOL. I can't believe there isn't some way to move these pictures to the new program. Has anyone had any experience with this? Is there some workaround available to allow me to move my pictures between these two versions?
I am very disappointed with the poor support from Adobe.

Hatstead-
Thank you for your reply. The link you provided was helpful but while it addresses catalog conversions, it doesn't specifically address moving pictures between two different computers. I'm still in mystery as to exactly what I should copy from my old computer and where I should paste it in my new computer. This is a complicated process and I'm afraid I'm going to start it, make a mistake and wind up in even more of a pickle.
And by the way, I'm still incredulous that Adobe is so unsupportive in this matter. Their tech told me it was not possible to move my pictures from PSE3 to PSE12; which is apparently not true. I think Adobe's customers deserve better treatment.
