Moving photos from an iPhone to another with an iMac

I was at a friends house and wanted to move 30 of his photos from his IMac to my iPhone,
when I connected my iPhone to his iMac we could see my iPhone on his iMac\iTunes but couldn't copy the photos to my iPhone,
Is there an easy way to do this?
thanks

Photos can be transferred from a computer to an iPhone with one way only - via the iTunes sync process with photos to be transferred selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences followed by a sync.
Photos transferred to an iPhone are optimized for viewing on the iPhone, so photos transferred to an iPhone are treated like iTunes content - photos can be transferred to an iPhone from a single computer only. When doing the same with another computer, all photos available on the iPhone that were transferred from another computer will be erased first.

Moving Photos from One Event to Another

I don't entirely understand how to do this. When I want to move photos from one event to another, I usually just drag the photos from one event to another. This works fine when the two events are next to each other (within the same window). However, it he event is not in the same window (requiring a scroll up or down) then the drag and drop can't happen (i.e., having to drag photos from my last event to the first event). Any suggestions here?

If you're merging two Events you ca do this in Event View - just drag one Event to the Other and they will be merged.
If you're moving pics from an Event to another (but not a Full Merge):
Photos View, the go View -> Event Titles and option Click on the wee triangle to close all the Events.
Then open the Event you want to get the Files From. Select the Files.
Drag them to the bottom of the iPhoto Window - above the toolbar - and the Window will scroll. (There's a bit of a knack to doing this: there's a sweet spot just above the tool bar. Get the Cursor there and the window will scroll. With practise you can even control the rate and speed of scrolling)
Drop them on the target Event.

Copying photos from one computer to another, with descriptions

After editing photo descriptions and locations in iPhoto, it is desireable to be able to copy them to iPhoto on another computer, with the associated photo descriptions and locations. In principle, this is possible by selecting all desired photos, then selecting File -> Export... In the Export dialog box, in the "File Export" tab, select "Include: Titles and keywords", and "Include: Location information". Copy the exported files to the other computer, and do a File -> Import to Library ...
In practice, this works fine with images taken by some cameras, and not with images from others. In my limited experience with a Fuji F80EXR and a Canon SX230HS, the above work flow works with the Fuji. But, with the Canon, while the exported files clearly have the description data embedded in them (as seen by GraphicConverter), it is not imported into iPhoto, nor is it visible in Preview's Inspector. The workaround I use is to run an exiftool command on the exported files.
Exiftool is a command line utility that can read and write meta data in image files:
http://owl.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/
I run the following command on the exported files to rewrite the IPTC Caption:
exiftool −overwrite_original_in_place -tagsfromfile %f.jpg -ext jpg -"IPTC:Caption-Abstract>IPTC:Caption-Abstract" *.jpg
Note that the above command overwrites the files that were exported from iPhoto. If you wish to leave the original files intact, with an "_original" appended to the file name, run:
exiftool -tagsfromfile %f.jpg -ext jpg -"IPTC:Caption-Abstract>IPTC:Caption-Abstract" *.jpg
I'm not sure why it is necessary to copy and rewrite that data. Perhaps there is something strange in the format of the meta data in the file as it comes from the camera, and the iPhoto export does not correct this strangeness. Copying and rewriting the data by exiftool seems to put things right.
The above works for me, but is somewhat unwieldy. Is there a better way to copy photos from one computer to another, if iPhoto refuses to import the description data that it was written to the exported files?

Thanks for the pointer. I did a test with 10 images, and confirmed the iPLM works, even with the problematic images from my Canon SX230HS.
The workflow is to use iPLM to create a new Library on the computer that has the photos you want to copy. Copy the photos to the new Library. Copy the new Library to the second computer using a method of your choice (file sharing, USB flash drive, etc). Copy the photos from the new Library to the existing iPhoto Library.
iPLM costs $20, whereas my original solution was free (but you need to invest the time to get exiftool installed and working). But, unlike exiftools, iPLM also copies over the Faces information, so it is likely a worthwhile investment if you use that feature.

Using iPad 2 photos and have not found key to organizing or moving photos from one album to another existing album

With ipad2 I have been almost successful in moving photos from the stream or roll to separate albums. It takes the commands but does not allow last step. What am I missing?

If you are wanting to copy photos from your computer to the iPad then you need to select all the folders that you want to copy together in one go - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are removed by not including them in the next photo sync, so on each photo sync you need to select all the photos that you want to remain on the iPad. So you will only do one photo sync to copy them.
So when you connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes, on the right-hand side on the Photos tab you need to select the parent folder under each those 100 folders are directly under - each of those 100 folders will then get their own album on the iPad. The folder to album relationship only works to 1 level i.e. if those folders have sub-folders in them then their photos will go into the parent's album on the iPad

Moving photos from one project to another

So, I'm painfully new to aperture but I was under the impression that if I drag and drop a group of photos from one project to another, it would MOVE the photos to the new project (as described here: http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/index.html#chapter=5%26sec tion=14%26tasks=true). When I do this, the images remain in the original project and it does get added to the second project (in an album under the new project). When I try to delete them from the original project, it also deletes them from both the original project and the new album in the new project. When I "Undo" the delete, it restores the photos to both the original project and the album under the new project.
Am I missing something?

The problem is you are dragging them into an Album not a project.
If you drag them into the project they will be moved. If you drag into an Album they remain in the original project as well as appearing the album. (in the album they are really pointers back to the originals in the project)

Problem moving photos from one comp to another in LR 4

I am having a problem with moving my photos from a MacBook Pro to a PC laptop. All the files reside in one directory on an external drive. I copied the catalog from the Mac to the PC, connected the drive, started LR and pointed to the copied catalog. As expected, LR did not know where the files from the external drive were, so I highlighted the drive, right clicked the photo directory and told it to find missing files. I then pointed it to the proper directory on the drive. It only partially worked. Several of the subdirectories on the drive did not relink. If I take the drive off the PC and put it back on the Mac, the subdirectories are properly linked, where on the PC, some aren't.
I can reimport, but then I have to do edits all over again on those photos. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Are you sure that in the Mac to PC conversion of the actual folders, that perhaps some of the names folder didn't change?
Can you compare the exact name of one of these folders on both computers?
What happens if you try to right-click on the problem folders in Lightroom and select Find Missing Folder and then point just that specific folder in Lightroom to the proper folder on your PC?

Moving photos from one library to another (v7.1.5)

Hi. I'm currently using iPhoto 7.1.5. I had my iPhoto library on an external drive. I experienced problems with that drive and had to purchase a new one. In the meantime, I uploaded new photos to iPhoto in a library that resides on my internal hard drive. I've since successfully copied the photos from the bad external drive to a new external drive. Now I need to move the photos that are in the Library on my computer to the Library on the new external disk. I want to have all my photos in one place and I want the Library on the external disk to essentially be the only library. I will then create a back up of that onto another external disk so I don't lose anything.
I have very limited internal disk space and have about 8,000 photos that I need to move.
Thank you in advance.

File -> Export to the FInder, then import them to the other Library.
If you want to preserve versions and metadata etc then you'll need to use iPhoto Library Manager

Is there a way to remove many photos from the iPhone camera roll with out having to delete photos one by one? I need space, it's so full and I've opted out of deleting them when I sync them to my computer in the past.

Since I've transfered all my photos to my computer & added the files that I'd like on my phone in iTunes I'd like to delete the photos from my camera roll on my phone, but there are a lot and I'd like to be able to do it quickly. Is it possible to do this with out having to put each on into the trash on my phone?

*correction*
Arrow in bottom left allows you to multi select. After you choose your photos, you can hit the delete button that appears in the bottom right hand corner. Or, you can hit the cancel button in the rop right and not delete them

Moving photos from one account to another

Hello.
I have just set up a separate user account for my little girl. Is is possible to transfer photos from my photo library in iPhoto into hers? I've tried copying some pictures to my shared file but when I tried to import them into her iPhoto it said the files weren't recognised.
Will I have to put them on a CD instead?
Thank you for any advice.
Rachel

Locate the photo library in the Finder, and then open the Terminal in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder. Enter the following:
chmod -R 777
followed by a space. Drag the folder into the Terminal window, press Enter, and then quit the Terminal. Next, use the insructions in this article to move the entire iPhoto library to the /Users/Shared/ folder, followed by doing the same thing from her account.
Alternatively, try these instructions if you haven't already to export the photos to the /Users/Shared/ folder, and then reimport them on her account.
A third option is to use this application to create a second library with only the photos you want her to have, and then transfer it to her account using the instructions posted above.

Moving photos from iPhoto in macbook pro to new iMac

We recently got a new iMac. Pumped to move photos from 13" Macbook Pro to huge iMac, right? Well this has been quite a crazy effort! So far, here is what I have tried unsuccessfully:
1) Moving iPhoto library (from the icon) to external hard drive and then moving that file onto the computer. I cannot get it to move from the hard drive into my photo folder on the iMac. I tried to just click it and upload the pictures but then only about half of a size of each photo shows up and is really screwed up.
2) Tried by bluetooth (93gb). Just froze up the Macbook Pro program trying to do that.
3) Tried sharing wireless connection
4) Tried hooking up an ethernet cord between the two.
What I run into over and over is that I cannot click and drag the iPhoto Library icon over to my iMac.
So any ideas? Initially did all photo files over but it made two and three copies of each of them and my research of this has said to use the iPhoto Library icon.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

I may have just figured out part of the problem. I was having trouble dragging files and discovered others were having the same problems through these forums. Restarted the computer and bam...I can drag the file now! Thought I was going to go crazy. We'll see if this works ultimately.
Thanks Larry

Transferring old photos from one iPhone to another.

I've recently upgraded to an iPhone 4S from a 3GS. The 3GS has several problems including not charging and not syncing with my macbook/iTunes. I've backed up on iCloud and when i got the 4S I used that to transfer all my apps and stuff.
Anyway, only 57 photos have transferred over out of 356. How do I get the rest? I've tried doing another back up from iCloud on both the 3GS and 4S to no avail. I don't want to lose the photos and I can't transfer them to iPhoto either because my old phone won't sync with my macbook. Help?
