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 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)

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.

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

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

Moving contacts from one account to another

On my iPhone address book I have set 3 groups: iCloud, Yahoo (which I use for e-mail) and Facebook.
For some reason my Yahoo account was set as default account for new contacts. How can I move all of my new contacs I already saved from one group to the iCloud All Contacts group?

You can export them to a csv file from yahoo and import them to icloud on icloud.com

Moving Apps from One Account to Another

When I moved to my new job I got a new phone. Not being sure what to do I set up a new BB Id with my new e-mail. Now I can't get my apps from my old account. How can I move those apps from my old account to my new one without having to pay for them again?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
It is a matter of using that old BB ID...apps cannot transfer between BB IDs, but BB IDs can transfer between devices, carrying along their purchase records.
To re-install your apps, please see this KB:
KB17625 How to install or transfer previously purchased applications from BlackBerry App World to a BlackBerry smartphone
Given that you've already created a new BB ID on the new device, you may also need this KB:
KB26694 How to change the BlackBerry ID on a BlackBerry PlayBook tablet or BlackBerry smartphone
I'm sorry that the process will be so cumbersome, but it is what it is.
Cheers!

Moving photos from one media to another?

Lets say you have a laptop that you do all your Lightroom work on. By default you import the RAW images to the local disk, manipulate (develop) them, and the convert them for use elsewhere.
In the mean time these RAW photos start to collect on your disk and you want to move them to an "off-line" media. Say a hard drive (or multiple) in USB enclosures. Ideally when you move them they retain all of their metadata, keywords/tags, develop settings, etc. Not to mention have their standard previews and other data available for viewing.
If I read the Adobe FAQ on their suggestion on how to do this, the implication is you can move things off line, but you'll lose stuff like keywords etc. In many ways it seems to be saying you're removing them from Lightroom, rather than putting them on "near-line" storage. That really doesn't do the trick for me.
It looks like maybe I can copy the physical folder to the new hard drive, remove it from the old, then tell Lightroom to "Find missing folder". I'm not sure if that preserves keywords etc. (I need to test), but it certainly is tedious if you have a lot of folders to move (I break up my imports by date, so they collect fast). "Find missing folder" is very slow when you go to open "My Computer" by the way (perhaps it's specific to my laptop though).
Ideally there really ought to be a way to highlight a folder in the "Navigator" pane, right click on it, and select "Move to another location". Maybe there is way to do this, that just isn't documented (or I haven't found in the documentation).
Alternatively I could create a "Catalog", but that wouldn't be searchable from the old catalog (plus they don't clearly say if you should delete the stuff under the old catalog exported to the new one, which I find kind of confusing in the documentation).
Am I missing something? It seems a bit half baked - critically so such that even though much of the library functionality is there, there isn't quite enough to do the job so the rest is pointless. Having used other products like iMatch, it's hard to take the very limited functionality.
There is of course plenty else to use in Lightroom, but I'd also like to use the photo management for a single comprehensive application. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be quite there.

I usually create a new library on my laptop, and when I am done editing, I transfer it lock stock and barrel to my Desktop, where I'll do more editing and whatever conversions are needed. [Then I convert to DNG, not necessary].
Why don't you try a few this way? You can leave the catalogs separate on your laptop, and separate or included in your main desktop catalog (or both if you're careful) . All key words, etc. should come along with the imported catalog.

Moving iPhotos from one account to another via "Shared" folder

Every once in awhile, I like to share photos between accounts on the same iMac, so that my wife can use some of the pictures. Lately, if I put them in the "Share" folder on the HD, they come out NOT useable in the other account. They are usually in jpeg format, but my wife's account gets a "corrupted" message.
What am I doing wrong? Is there another way to transfer the pictures?
thanks, Barry

thanks again

Moving playlists from one account to another

Hey,
I'm on my admin account right now, and my iTunes is set up on there. I want to switch to a user account and have the same playlist (with ratings and play count intact).
Where is the playlist file stored so I can just copy and paste it?
(All my songs are on an external drive)

Thanks, this worked.
And for anyone else doing this in the future:
1. Copy the iTunes Library file from Music/iTunes into your Shared folder.
2. Change the permissions using chmod. I used 'chmod a+rwx thefile'. You need to change the permissions or iTunes won't let you load it in your other account.
3. Replace the iTunes Library file in Music/iTunes in your new account with this one.

Loss of names when moving photos from one library to another

I created a new library and moved some photos to it but they no longer have the Faces information with them. Is it possible to move that information as well of am I doomed to have to re-name every person in the photos?

How did you move them? The only way to move files between libraries and maintain all metadata is with iPhoto Library Manager

Tracking amount moved from one account to another in General ledger

Hi,
I have a doubt in GL.
If we post a batch, the amount may be transferred between many accounts. How to find the total amount moved from one account to another after journal posting?
Regards,
Raj

You can do it from your activeSync form:
        
        <Field name='waveset.organization'>
            <Disable>
                <neq>
                    <ref>waveset.organization</ref>
                    <s>Top:Global:Users</s>
                </neq>
            </Disable
            <Derivation>
                <s>Top:Local:Users</s>
            </Derivation>
        </Field>
