Need iphoto 05 to 08 help

OK...I have a new imac w/ilife 08 and leopard. The old machine is an Ibook g4 with iphoto 05 and tiger. I've copied my iphoto library folder to a dvd. Now what? How can I transfer my library to the new machine? I don't want to screw this new machine up already.
Thanks

Simply, copy the iPhoto Library Folder to the Pictures Folder on the new machine. That's all. Then start iPhoto.

  • Need iPhoto library management help

    I've been trying to organize and archive my photos and videos for the past few weeks. I have well over 250GB, spread over several iPhoto libraries on an external drive. Many of those libraries contain duplicate images, and are taking up way too much space. I am looking for an app that will scan multiple iPhoto libraries stored on an external drive for duplicates, so I can remove them and consolidate all of my libraries in the smallest amount of space possible.
    I haven't had luck with: Dupe guru, Duplicate cleaner for iPhoto, Photos Duplicate Cleaner or iPhoto library manager. I know that I had found one before that scanned the libraries and showed me which duplicate images were on which library and gave me the option to delete them. That was a while ago, and at that point, I hadn't organized things to the point that I was ready to start deleting. It may be one of the apps listed above that I'm just not using correctly. If so, and if someone can walk me through getting started doing it the right way, it would be much appreciated. If not, and there is a different app available, please let me know which one it is & I'll try it.
    Not sure if this matters, but I'm using OS X 10.7.5, iPhoto '09, version 8.1.2 (424)
    Thanks in advance.

    Duplicate Finder apps for iPhoto all search the contents of one library for duplicates. There is none that compare across Libraries.
    If you are seeking to consolidate your Libraries, then using Library Manager to merge them can be done while also eliminating duplicates.

  • Just upgraded and iPhoto said it has to upgrade library but keeps freezing. Have tried it too many times now and I need those photos ASAP  HELP!!

    Just upgraded and iPhoto said it has to upgrade library but keeps freezing. Have tried it too many times now and I need those photos ASAP  HELP!!

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • Thinking of moving to Mac from PC--need iPhoto help

    Hi All,
    I'm thinking about getting my wife a Mac to replace her PC to get a better computing experience. She's not very computer-literate, and the frequent Windows lockups and other problems are causing much frustration.
    She mainly works with digital photos, creating slide shows for family members to view on their macs, pcs, and tv sets. She currently uses Photoshop Elements 5 for WIndows for her work. It's my understanding that there are some differences between PSE5 for Windows and PSE6 for the Max. The Windows version has Organizer, which is the component that allows you to organize photos (tagging, etc) and create slide shows. The Mac version uses something called Bridge.
    My wife spends most her time creating albums, slide shows, printing pictures and the like, but she only does light editing. I'm thinking that she may be better off with something iPhoto than with Elements. One issue we have with PSE5 is that it creates photo cds, not true dvds, and the quality of slide shows played on a tv set isn't very good. Another issue concerns how we'd do the conversion. I guess we'd lose the slide shows we've already created, but can we preserve the photo takes?
    I'm really flying blind here, having never worked with a mac or iphoto. Any help or advice from this community would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks much,
    David

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can't use Bridge and iPhoto together. Metadata added via bridge will cause problems with iPhoto. To use Photoshop or PSE with iPhoto:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Do I need iPhoto 08 to see and use the mobileme features?

    I currently have the iPhoto (ver 6) that came with my Mac Pro. I have a lot of expensive photo editing software on my mac that I do graphic design with so spending $80 on the iLife upgrade seems like a waste of $$ to me. I would however like to use the Mobile Me icon that appears in the Mobile Me demos to move photos to and from my iPhone 3G as well as the Mobile Me website. Do I have to upgrade to iLife 08 to get this or can I make this work with iPhoto 6?
    Thanks for your help!

    iPhoto does not need to be part of this at all, but if you want it to be then you'll need iPhoto 08.

  • How to find iPhoto2 files for backup and need iPhoto upgrade advice

    I have two questions:
    I am working on what I guess is an older version of iPhoto (2.0.1). I need to back up all my photos on CD and am having a hard time figuring out what directory to go to in order to backup everything. I've gone to the iPhoto library and copied the directory on a CD, but it was empty. The actual images seem to be hidden somewhere. I also use Photoshop CS and would like to use the backup images at a later time, so I'd like to be sure the actual jpegs are there and not just thumbnails, etc.
    Secondly, what should I upgrade to? Our son has taken video and I can't seem to access it with other programs once uploaded to iPhoto.
    Your help is much appreciated!!

    Does any one tried Oracle Help for Java (OHJ)?
    Please let me know your recommendations and opinions, thanks.

    Two methods.
    One generate a HTML file and use the Web.Show_Document to display the help file.
    Two use shareware like 'Help Workshop' which can be found at www.cnet.com.

    Try doing a level reformat of the iPod's flash storage instead to see if that kills the restore loop using the instructions in the article below.

    I assume you know where your catalogue file (the lrcat file) is located. In the same folder is a previews lrdata folder which you should delete or rename in Explorer, then start LR again.
    If I've made incorrect assumptions above, sorry, and we'll go back over it from the start.
