Moving photos between different versions of iPhoto

Is there a way to move photos from my MBP running Maverick with iPhoto 9.5.1 to my iMac running Snow Leopard with iPhoto 9.1.5(I haven't been able to update the iMac as it lives on a sailboat where high speed internet is unavailable).
I tried using iPhoto manager and it doesn't work.

Copy them on a Flash drive and load them the next time you go.

  • Sharing photos between networked versions of Elements

    Has anyone shared photos between different versions of Elements?  Specifically, I have Elements version 3 on a XP system.  Now I would like to add a new Windows 7_64bit system and run the latest version of Elements on it.  As I will be keeping both systems (networked), I would like both users to be able to use a shared folder of family photos.
    1)  Can multiple versions of Elements share a common/networked watched folder? (Not simultaneously)
    2)  If shared in this manner, are there any issues to address?
    3)  If not different versions, can the same versions share networked folders?
    Thank you

    You can certainly have the same photos referenced by different PSE catalogs ( with the same or different versions of PSE, running on the same or different computers). Remember that a catalog just contains links to the photos. 
    There are a few gotchas to think about: If you change the tags of a photo in one catalog, the other catalog won't pick up the change unless you delete and reimport the photo.  If you change other fields, such as date/time, star rating, captions, notes, or GPS/map location, or if you edit the photo itself, then you can force the other catalog to pick up the change by selecting the photo(s) and doing Edit > Update Thumbnail. (This works for PSE 6 and later; don't know about PSE 3.)  And if you delete a photo from your disk in one catalog, it will become disconnected ("missing") in the other catalog, and you'll have to do File > Reconnect to find such missing photos.
    If you want to share the catalog itself, see this FAQ:

  • How do I put my photos from a hard drive to my mac using different versions of Iphoto?  It is saying I can't because of the updated version.

    Hello,
    I am trying to move photos from my hard drive to my mac.   Mac is using an updated version of Iphoto and is denying the transfer.
    How do I get around this?  Do I download the order version?  or can I not get my photos?  If anyone can help please do.
    You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto.
    Thanks Carol

    I copied my photos onto my hard drive from my mac about 3 months ago.  I just plugged my hard drive in to put my pictures back onto my mac but it is giving me a message when trying to open up the photos from the hard drive that states
    Like I said we need to know exactly what you did
    THere are lots of totally different ways to "copy your photos" onto a hard drive
    Exactly how did you do that? The correct way to move an iPhoot library is to verify that the hard drive is formattted Mac OS extended (journaled) and then to drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to it - reverse to bring it back - just drag it from the EHD to the pictures folder (default location) on your computer
    Why are you doing this?
    you can try Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database - depending on what has been going on this might resolve things

  • Moving Photos Between iPhoto Libraries

    I have established a second iPhoto library but an not clear on how to move photos from the original library to the second library. Seems it should be simple - from the original library I highlight the photos to be exported to the second library, then click "export", but the export to the second library doesn't happen. Also, while in the second library I tried to import the highlighted photos from the original library, but that didn't work either. I have iPhoto 6.0.6 Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    HDP

    HDP,
    You cannot export directly into another iPhoto Library folder, because all files must be imported in order to be recognized by the database. Don't ever try to manipulate your files directly inside the iPhoto Library folder. Importing photos from one library into another will get you the photos, but strip them of their albums and other library metadata.
    The only way to move photos between libraries and preserve albums, keywords, and other metadata is to use iPhoto Library Manager. It will save you a lot of work.
    Regards.

  • Moving photos from external drive to iPhoto '11

    OK. I'm going nuts. I recently purchased an iMac and I migrated all of the photos from my old G5 with no problems. All of my photos and their Album structures came along. Now, I also have a lot of different photos on a MacBook that is also running 10.6.6 and iPhoto '11. The MacBook is backed up onto an external drive which I am trying to use to move the photos to the iMac. I have tried what Terrence Devlin suggests. I tried to drag the MacBook iPhoto library into the iMac Pictures folder, but it asks me if I want to replace the existing iPhoto library. I most certainly do not. I don't want to lose anything that is already on the iMac.
    I tried manually exporting folders from the external drive by clicking individual albums in iPhoto and "exporting" them to the iMac desktop, but not all of the photos come in the export, no matter which folder I try to export.
    Yesterday, before I updated the laptop to iPhoto '11, I created a new iPhoto Library on the iMac and dragged the entire iPhoto Library from the MacBook into that new Library. It worked, however it all came over into one big album and my previous album structure was gone. There are waaaaay too many photos for me to go back through and sort them again. Did that happen because I was going from an older version of iPhoto to a newer version or will it happen again if I drag the MacBook iPhoto Library into a NEW library on the iMac? (I only ask before I try because it took several hours the first time.)
    So what do I do? I want all of my photos on the iMac with my existing Album structure. If I have to do it Album by Album fine, but how? Selecting every photo from an album and dragging it to a folder on the desktop doesn't work either. I can always take every photo minus one. Weird.
    Thanks,
    John

    What you want to do is merge the two Libraries? The only way to do this is to use the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager
    I created a new iPhoto Library on the iMac and dragged the entire iPhoto Library from the MacBook into that new Library. It worked, however it all came over into one big album and my previous album structure was gone
    Never import one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.

  • Moving pictures to different libraries on iPhoto?

    I have been useing iPhoto for three years completely unaware that i could create a second library. i take a lot of pictures, and i have 14,607 pictures all in one library and its become far too confusing to handle. i just created a new library yesterday. i need to move some events from my old one into the new one. after hours of attempting to move them i came to the conclusion that there was no way and i eventually downloaded the free "iPhoto Buddy". it seems alot of people use this. i see how it allows me to acces different libraries easily, but does it supply me with a way to move events from one library to the other? is there ANY way to do this?
    i have tried exporting/importing them, but this is far too complicated. it will take me weeks to reorganize it all. am i missing something?

    To move groups, albums or events, of photos between libraries and keep keywords, titles, comments, and other metadata intact the only option is to use the paid version of  iPhoto Library Manager.
    Otherwise you could export those photos you want to move out of library A to a folder and import that folder into library B.  All you would get are the photos and none of the metadata.

  • Moving photos between projects

    I'm having a problem - erratically - moving photos from one project to another. When I select one photo & drag it to a different project - the entire project gets moved instead of just the one selected photo. (I've double checked that there are no photos selected before I select the photo that I want to move.)
    If I cancel the move, I end up with missing thumbnails & sometimes missing photos.
    This is erratic because sometimes dragging one photo to another project works.

    It is really hard to tell what might be happening - we need more details:
    What is your Aperture version? The most recent Aperture 3.4.1?
    Are your images referenced or managed? Raw or jpegs?
    How did you edit them? With Aperture or an external editor?
    Do you create new versions when editing and stack them, or edit the current version?
    And after moving to a new project, the preview of the version shows the original master, but the thumbnail shows the original edits? Is that correct?
    I Suspect, when you moved the images, they lost their previews. As a test, duplicate an image version (Photo > Duplicate Version) and force the generation of a new preview (Ctrl-click, hold down the options key ⌥, select "Generate Preview"). Does that bring back the edits? Also you could try to export the image version ans see, if the edits are still there.

  • How do i move photos between differant users on the same mac

    I am trying to copy some photos from iphoto and move them to another user on the same mac. Can anyone help please?

    Hello Whigged-out,
    It sounds like you would like to share one library between two different users on your iMac.  I found an article with steps you can take to accomplish this:

  • Moving photos between libraries

    I take lots of photos, and, with previous incarnations of iPhoto, this was a bit of a problem. To get around it, I created multiple users on my computer, each with a themed library (family, travel, hobbies, etc.)
    With iPhoto 6 I can have much larger libraries, and multiple libraries for a single user. I have migrated my libraries (via an external hard drive) back to my main user, and open them as needed without a problem.
    Is there any way to move photos (original and modified, as a package) from one library to another? Or to merge libraries?
    I can export and then import from one to another, but I lose the original. Or I can burn to a disc, and then import, but this is time consuming and wasteful of discs.
    Any other suggestions?

    luba:
    Yes there is. The paid version of iPhoto Library Manager will let you move photos between libraries along with the originals, keywords, etc. It's about the only way to do it.
    With iPhoto's new alias mode there is a way to have several users use the same set of source files but each have their own edits, etc. You would place the source files in the Shared library and everyone use them as their source files. FWIW I've created some Tutorials to assist users covert from a conventional library to an alias based system.

  • Library Synch Between Different Versions?

    My older Macbook has iPhoto '08 while my new iMac has iPhoto '11. Will there be any problem synching the photo libraries on the machines using something like MobilMe?

    Not as easy as I'd hoped. I am new to synching and fairly new to Macs in general.
    Note that iPhoto is a basic and essentially free program - it is not a multiuser program although it does have sharing capabilities
    1) Let's suppose I make my iMac library my baseline photo library. How do I import it to Macbook iPhoto? I know how to use my FW cable to mount one or the other as a drive (hold T while booting and plug in cable).
    You NEVER import an iPhoto library - you can transfer it intact - Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.
    2) Suppose I take my Macbook on vacation and dump a lot of photos onto it, after the baseline library has been imported. I could import that into the iMac baseline library. So far so good.
    3) Suppose the two libraries end up different from each other. Is there any way to merge them, such that they end up identical?
    No - you can as previously stated import the photos into both libraries - you can use iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - to move photos between libraries or merge one library into another library or to merge two libraries into a new library

  • Issues with connecting macs with different versions of iphoto

    I connected my iphoto 09 on my macbook pro with my girlfriends iphoto 11 on her macbook pro to transfer some photos. However after I transfered these items to her mac I now find that even though the photos still exist on my mac, iphoto 09 will not open and says because I have connected to a newer version of iphoto I will have to upgrade.
    Even though I like macs I don't need or want to upgrade, I can't reinstall iphoto from my setup discs so The only option is to spend £75 on something I don't need. Can anyone give me any advice?
    Many thanks

    When you opened the library with the newer version you were warned this would happen. You chose to ignore that warning.
    Your options are
    1. Upgrade iPhoto to iPhoto 11. This doesn't cost £75. An iLife 11 disk costs less than £50. Better yet, you can simply buy iPhoto on the App store for less than £15.
    2. Restore from back up - You do have a back up, right?
    3. Recover your phots from the Library and start over from scratch.

  • Working and moving photos between two open libraries?

    I'm not sure if it is possible, but can you work in and transfer photos between two open libraries at the same time? It is more an organizational question...i.e. I want to have some photos only appear in a particular library...

    nk3:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can only have one library open at a time but with iPhoto Library Manager (in the free mode) you can transfer 20 photos at a time between libraries and keep keywords, comments, etc.

  • Moving photos between accounts??

    I have an account for everyone, then a user account for work. How do I move some pics from my everything account to my iPhoto library in my work account? Help please!

    If, as administrator, you can see the two libraries via the Finder then you can use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to copy selected albums or rolls from Library A into Library B while maintaining the keywords, commnets, ratings, etc. But you have to be able to have access to both with read and write permissons. One library would have to reside in the Public folder or the Sites folder for that account the other account to have access it.
    Another way would be to put your primary iPhoto Library folder in the Shared folder on the Mac. Then when logged into your work account you'd have access to that library as well as the work library. Using iPLM in that situation would work well.
    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.
