My G5 iMac died how do I move  photos in iPhoto to my new Intel iMac

I was able to save the hard drive from my G5 iMac and it's now on a bootable firewire drive.
How can I move all my iPhoto photos from the firewire drive to my new iMac so I don't lose anything?

Drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old drive to the pictures folder of the new drive and launch iPhoto on the new computer - it will convert the library if needed

    iCloud & Dropbox are 2 ways.  Other ways are migration assistant, iChat or any IM type of software, email.

    From PhotoStream either drag the photos form PS to the iPhoto window or set the iPhoto peference to automatically import PS photos

    how do i move photos in iPhoto for iPad from album to album ?

    If you want to move a photo, then you need to use a PC or a Mac. In iPad, you can copy, but this is just a link to the original. It's something I've been wanting to do for a while...but it looks like it needs another photo program to do 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
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    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.

    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

  • 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.

  • Moving Photos fro iPhoto on eMac to intel iMac

    I loaded iLife '11 and now want to move photos and music from eMac to intel iMac. What is the safest, fastest and best way to do this?
    Thank you

    Migration Assistant worked beautifully. Everything moved over like a charm. Both the eMac and iMac where on the same network in my home and worked perfectly.
    My question now is, now that I have the eMac account on the iMac, how do I get the cool functions of the Dock (application and document included) on the eMac account that is on the iMac? The eMac account's Dock is boring and doesn't have the new funky feature that is apparently part of the iMac 10.5/.6.
    I tried dragging Application from Finder over and it doesn't work (returns back to finder). Help....

  • My G5 iMac died how do I move  iTunes that I bought to my new Intel iMac

    I was able to save the hard drive from my dead G5 iMac and it's now a bootable image on an external firewire drive.
    How can I move all my iTunes that I bought to my new Intel iMac?
    BTW from what I've read you shouldn't use Migration Assistant when moving from a PPC to an Intel Mac so I don't think I want to go that route.
    Any ideas as to how I can do this and not lose all my iTunes that I bought?

    i think this should work:
    1) boot from the image.
    2) use these tips to move the library from the image to another external HD. from the iMac, use the +choose library+ operation below.
    or
    3) if you have a suitably sized iPod, click here.
    or
    4) drag & drop the entire iTunes folder to the iMac. put it in the proper location on the iMac in HD/users/your_name/music (overwrite the iTunes folder there - presumably void of any content right now). when done, on the iMac, launch iTunes with the option key pressed. you will see this window
    click on +choose library+ and navigate to the +iTunes library file+ (inside the iTunes folder you just dragged & dropped).
    any help ?

  • How do I move photos from iPhoto to new PC or Mac?

    We are in the market for a new computer.  I want a Mac (of course!) but my husband and our budget are more comfortable with a PC.  My question is how do we move photos from our old Mac to a new comp?  Can it be done via a network?  I assume it is easier from Mac to Mac.  We do not have an external hard drive and our old comp is very outdated.  The version of iPhoto used is 6.0.6 and OS is OS X, 10.4.11.  We cannot do any further updating to either the application or OS.  We do have both an iPod and iPad but neither can even be synced with this current computer!  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks

    For a PC select all photos in iPhoto and export to a desktop folder. Move that folder to the PC
    For a Mac copy the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the pictures folder of the new Mac
    The connection can be a network, a cable or even an external hard drive you move to the new system or a DVD if it will hold everything

  • How do i move photos from iphoto onto my iphone

    I have iphoto 7.1.5 and want to move photos from iphoto to my iphoto.  I have photo stream on my phone but cant figure out how it connects either way...

    Put them in an album, connect the iPhone to your Mac, open iTunes, go to Photos in the iPhone section, select that album and sync.
