Old Mac Pro with 7.0 iPhoto transferred selected photo albums to my iPad. New iMac with iPhoto 11.0 will not transfer photo albums to my iPad. Why not?

I just purchased the new iMac with the latest iPhoto. Transferred my iPhoto library from my old Mac Pro. Upgraded iPhoto app and then tried to transfer photo albums to my iPad. New iPhoto will not allow transfer of selected albums, while old iPhoto did allow me to sync my selected albums to my iPad. Am I doing something wrong?

I do not have Last 12 Months selected. I also do not have Events or Faces or any of those newer designations selected. I have literally thousands of photographs in iPhoto, which is why I keep the select, special few hundred or so I want on my iPhone in very specific albums. These are the albums I select to sync. However, not all of the photos in these albums are uploading to my iPhone. They were on my iPhone and synced perfectly fine until the switch to the new laptop this weekend. All files were migrated to the new laptop, and all files are there and viewable on iPhoto. Something is causing some of the photos not to sync. That is what I need assistance with....

  • I am trying to move my wife's iPhoto '08 library to my new iMac for iPhoto '11.

    I am trying to move my wife's iPhoto (2007) library on a Macbook to my new iMac for iPhoto '11.  First, when I opened iPhoto on the iMac it asked me to create a library, which I did.  Then I imported her photos via a wireless network to my "new" library.  However, when it finally finished importing, it had imported 3 copies of each photo from her library.  I deleted the "new" library and started over.
    Second, I opened iPhoto on the iMac and chose to use "other library."  I chose my wife's shared iPhoto library and it began transferring the photos to the new iMac (or so I thought).  This worked beautifully as it only brought over single photos and not 3 copies like discussed above.  After editing the new library and adding some photos from an old PC, I shut down iPhoto.  A few hours later I tried to open iPhoto on the iMac and it gave me the opening screen again with choices to create a new library or use a different library.  As it turns out, my wife's Macbook and been disconneted from our wireless network.  I was able to figure out that that unless my wife's Macbook is connected to the network then I cannot access the iPhoto library on my iMac.  I was under the impression that I had copied her library to my computer and that the photo files were now on the hard drive of the iMac.  So when her computer is offline I can no longer access the imported library.  I want her library to stay on the iMac as we plan to sell her Macbook.  As you now know, we cannot access her iPhoto library on the Macbook since she is running an older version of iPhoto.
    So, what I would like to do is to completely transfer the photos from her Macbook to my new iMac and be able to access them on the iMac regardless of whether she is on the network or not because we plan to sell her Macbook to a friend.  Thank you for any help you can provide.

    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    and select the Library that you moved.  That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
    Your first option didn't work because you imported 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.
    Your second option didn't work because you simply referenced her library on the old machine.

  • Can I use old Mac Pro with new iMac?

    I have a Mac Pro (Pre 2007) running on 10.6.8 that is ok for now, but experiencing some degradation in performance. I have 4 drive bays full and memory maxed out. I am looking for a desktop solution that would allow the option to have the latest OSX (such as the latest iMac) and access this old Mac Pro still. Is this possible?
    If so, what are some of the caveats?
    SoftwareEx: CS6 is compatible with new OSX, but will files saved on new computer still be accessible on old computer?
    Access to files
    NetworkCurrently using older version of Airport Extreme for home office setup
    Any insights would be helpful! I hate the thought of this old workhorse turning into nothing more than an external hard drive, but it is not upgradable to the new operating system.

    It sounds like what you want to do is create a simple peer network so you can use the Mac Pro as a storage unit.
    This is easy to do, just connect the two with an ethernet cable and log on using the logon and password for the system you want to access. In the general case, this is a bad idea since you you have unrestricted access but you own both machines so security is a very low priority.
    Caveats:
         The OS version will determine what apps a machine can run.
         Data is just data as long as both systems use HSF+ or some other common file system.
         Airport may or may not work... but a hard wire will always get it done and transfers data a lot faster.
    You almost never get to have it ALL your way when mixing generations of systems, but if you keep it simple it works well. I've had a peer network with 4-6 systems running in my house since the turn of the century. Most Macs support 1000 baseT (gigabit ether) so data transfers up to 80-90MB/sec are easy.

  • I have an old MacBook Pro, which just upgraded to OS X 10.10.3...in the process iPhoto disappeared, along with all my photos! I'm shocked, and have no idea what to do (furthest thing from a techie). Help??

    I have an old MacBook Pro, which just upgraded to OS X 10.10.3...in the process iPhoto disappeared, along with all my photos! I'm shocked, and have no idea what to do (I'm the furthest thing from tech). Did the photos go into iCloud? I have a photos icon now in the place of iPhoto, but no photos! Any suggestions or help?

    Niel, thank you! Can't get iPhotos, but found my photos after clicking "photos" in the new app, after your suggestion. (option, click). Whew! I panicked, and appreciate your help. I'm going to miss my old iPhoto!

  • Transferring old iPhoto library to new iMac with iPhoto 11

    I have an external hard drive which contains my old iPhoto library (let's call it iPhoto A library) with about 10 years of pictures.  This was saved from an older version of iPhoto.  Since then, I started a new iPhoto library (let's call it iPhoto B library on my old computer but with iPhoto now upgraded to iPhoto 11).
    My question is: now I have a brand new iMac with iPhoto 11 (and absolutely no pictures currently in it!).  How do I successfully transfer both of my iPhoto libraries over to my new iMac?  I would prefer that they be in one library, but I'm not strongly opposed if they need to be in separate library.  My second question: if they are in separate libraries, when do I save them?  Same folder?  Where?
    By the way, when I try to open my iPhoto A library, it says "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work on this version of iPhoto.  Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade.  The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete."
    Thanks so much to the Community for helping me! 

    How do I successfully transfer both of my iPhoto libraries over to my new iMac?
    drag them over (of course they can not have the same name) - Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc)  or use an external hard drive formed Mac OS extended (journaled) 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.
    I would prefer that they be in one library, but I'm not strongly opposed if they need to be in separate library.
    There is no way to do this with iPhoto - if you have iPhoto '11 version 9.3 or newer you can purchase Aperture and use it to merge libraries.  Or you can purchase iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  and use it to merge iPhoto libraries.
    My second question: if they are in separate libraries, when do I save them?
    Where ever you want - if you have seperate libraries you switch between them by depressing the option key and launching iPhoto and using the switch library window
    By the way, when I try to open my iPhoto A library, it says "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work on this version of iPhoto.  Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade.  The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete."
    That is correct - old versions of iPhoto can not access newer versions libraries
    and what ever you choose to do be sure tha tyou backup procedures are backing up everything

  • Upgrading? 3 year-old Mac Pro 3.1 with 8 GB RAM

    I have a 3-year old Mac Pro (model 3.1) with 8 GB RAM and 2 Quad Core Intel Xeon processors. The RAM consists of 8 x 1 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
    Two questions:
    1) I need tp upgrade my RAM to 16 GB or more to run a new software (memory intensive application). I'm wondering if it's worthwhile to upgrade this system for ~$500 or just buy a new system with newer components. Also, whether the system can effectively use 16 GB of memory
    2) Recently my Mac Pro has been very slow and jittery e.g. when I switch between applications.  I've already tried things like cleaning up the hard drive / repairing disk permissions with little improvement. The only other thing I can think of doing is wiping the system clean and reinstalling everything. I'm wondering if anyone has had a similar experience, and if there is asomething to do to prevent this from happening in the future.
    Thanks!

    you can max out at 32GB
    An SSD can make a difference also
    Hang in for what/when/if the MacPro6,1

    I would add 4 x 4GB to get to 20GB and see how that goes.
    Upgrade the hard drive: SSD or 10K WD VR 600GB or something.
    Off load your home media data and such to another drive, and go for a lean-mean OS/Apps only boot drive.

  • Transfer files from old Mac Pro to new iMac

    I have a 2008 Mac Pro with Snow Leopard and just purchased a new iMac with Maverick. How do I transfer my files (iPhoto library, address book, documents, etc.)? Can I connect the two computers or must I download the files to an EHD and then import them to the new iMac? If I can connect them, what is the procedure?

    iPhoto can see my old library (I can select it using "Swtich to Library...") but the photos are not showing -- I am getting an empty library with all the introductory "get started" info.
    Try to open the copied library by double-clicking it in the Finder. iPhoto does obviously not open your selected library, but creates a new one.
    How did you copy using the network? Are you signed into the new mac and copy as the user on your new mac? Or are you copying while being signed in on your old mac?
    iPhoto '08, Mac OS X (10.6.8), iPhoto 7.1.5 obsolete?
    If your old library really still is iPhoto 7.1.5, run iPhoto Library Upgrader first:

  • I have a new Mac Pro.  I want to use my old Mac Pro as a storage drive for photos and old documents, linked to my new Mac Pro.  How do I set up the old computer?

    I have a new Mac Pro.  I want to use my old Mac Pro as a storage drive for photos and old documents, linked to my new Mac Pro.  How do I set up the old computer?  Both computers have OS X10.9.3.  Currently they are connected by a Firewire 800 cable.

    You certainly could keep the old Mac Pro in Firewire mode (hold down the T key on its keyboard as you boot) to show its drives on the new MP. This is basically as fast as putting the drives into a Firewire enclosure.
    Or you could boot it normally and share its files over the network using the Sharing panel of System Preferences. If you turn on both File and Screen Sharing, you don't even need to have a monitor attached - you can do all administration using screen sharing. However, this method requires that you open all files over the network, which will be slower than the direct-connect method above, and may also not work with all applications.

  • Moving old iPhoto 6 file from eMac to new iMac with iPhoto 8

    I plugged in a portable hard-drive to my old eMac, dragged the iPhoto icon into it and waited as it copied into the portable HD. When I tried up-loading it into my new iMac (with iPhoto 8), nothing would happen. Same for iTunes. Any suggestions? I'm sure I'm missing something critical. It seemed too easy, even for a Mac. Thanks from Canada.

    Wow. I must be really slow. I tried entering that info (using Richard Campbell)for USER NAME and still nothing would show using Spotlight.
    I've bought a firewire cable and will try connecting it from my old eMac to the new iMac. maybe using the migrating software will help. Or is that a bad idea?

  • Need a RAID that will work on both new and old Mac Pro

    Desperately need to expand my RAID storage, and also not quite ready to buy the new Mac Pro.   Are there any high quality 6TB+ RAID enclosures that will work on both the new and older non-firebolt Mac Pros?  I already have a sh*t load of 2TB 3.5 drives, so I only need an enclosure.  
    Even when i get the new macpro, I will use the old mac pro as a second station, so i need the RAID to work on both. 

    Why not go for a eSATA Raid and a cheap eSATA card for old Mac Pro  and get either a Thunderbolt to eSATA or USB 3.0 to eSATA adapter for your new Mac Pro? Thunderbolt to eSATA is faster, of course.
    I have a MacPower/Inxtron Hydra 4 x 2 TB eSata for example. I have a eSATA card in my Mac Pro and when I need to use it on my Retina Macbook Pro I use a USB 3.0 to eSATA adapter. Gives me about 240 MBytes/s with Raid 5.
    On the eSATAcard it's just a little bit more, like 250/260 MBytes/s.

  • GeForce 7300 GT from the old MAC Pro don't work on a new mac pro why ?

    Hello,
    I have buy a GeForce 7300 GT on eBay, i think this one come from the old mac pro.
    I have put it on my new MAC PRO and my mac don't see it...
    Why ?
    Can i have a drivers ?
    TY for your help ^^

    Apple was emailing people that did, not sure if they still do.
    It would be so easy to say "Mac Pro (2008) or later" instead we have:
    Compatibility: * Requires Mac Pro with PCI-Express 2.0
    Which not everyone knows is, or means "Mac Pro (2008)"
    They do need a tech note or knowledge base to go along.

  • Old mac pro G5 doesn't start.

    On an old mac pro G5. Chime works, power button is solid, air refresher works but the mac doesn't start. The screen is blue with the mac start design but the bar is not moving and the mac doesn't start at all. Apple test hardware is returning a mother board default code which is : 212C/1/1:0x0000094, Anybody has an idea ? Thanks

    Hi Raoul,
    I believe that's 2l2c instead of 212c, which is a Logic Board problem.
    He can find NOTHING wrong with my iMac. It works like a charm. He made phone calls to his AASP contacts and they all said the same thing: Error code *2I2C/1/1: 0x00000092* indicates that the logic board needs to be replaced, but they are mystified that my computer is showing no symptoms.
    Then to confuse us all...
    The error code you report appears related only to machines manufactured for distribution in the European Union. If yours was originally purchased there, I don't believe that you have an actual issue. It is more likely an anomaly with the test software and the particular set of logic boards fabricated for use in products in that region.
    Both here...
