Old photobooth library from macbook pro replaced new photobooth library

I had a Macbook pro before, and switched to a macbook air 6 months ago.
I took a photo today on Photobooth, and when I went to see it, a popup window (don't recall what it said) came up and asked if I want to store into a specific folder. (Can't remember what it said verbatim).
Photobooth opens but my macbook air photobooth library has been replaced by my old macbook pro photobooth library.
The photos I took today were really important, and I am wondering if there is any way to retrieve them.

Maybe.  Because you don't know what was said or what you did (exactly), this will be trial and error.
(1) try making another image and see if saving that one gives you a clue as to where the previous ones went.
(2) Control-Click on your User/Pictures/Photo Booth Library folder and select "Show package Contents."
You may find your images in one of the folders there.  If you do, DO NOT MOVE THEM.
Instead, Option-Drag the ones you want to work on to another folder to get a copy you can use.

  • Clone old 10.8.2 from MacBook Pro to new i7 iMac 27inch OK to do?

    My question is, is there anything special about the 10.8 installation that will come with my new i7 27 inch iMac that would make it a bad idea for me to simply clone my current 10.8.2 system from my 5 year old MacBook Pro 1,3 to the new iMac when it arrives?
    As in does OS X 10.8 know what type of Mac it's getting installed on and thus installs different graphics/hardware drivers?
    I want to clone directly from my old MacBook Pro because I have SO MUCH software on there that works perfectly as-is, would take hours and hours to install and update from scratch again, not to mention some software I know for a fact will give me heachaches when I need to re-authorize it on the new machine but would work perfectly if I were to just Carbon Copy clone it all.
    I know how to re-activate the driver for the USB superdrive I'm getting with the iMac.
    But is there anything else?
    Oh and the iMac is coming with the 3TB fusion drive.
    Please only respond to this if you know any of the answers from direct experience and not assumptions.
    Thanks I appreciate your time.

    I doubt it. Although the iMac may be running 10.8.2 it is more then likely a Special Build for the newest hardware in the iMac. Apple does that with ever New Mac they come out with.
    So if you cloned your 10.8.2 version of Mt Lion from a Macbook Pro the iMac may not boot as that copy would not have the correct drivers for the iMac.
    The only way to get the version that ships on new Macs is to use the Internet Recovery system. The is setup to give you the correct version for the New Mac you are using.

  • How to transfer itunes control from macbook pro to new imac

    I have a 2008 MacBook Pro that I have used the past several years as my iTunes 'control' device. It's what I connect my iPhone, iPad, and iPod to in order to sync music, apps, etc and to back those devices up. I just bought a new iMac and would like it to be that 'control' device now, but can't seem to find any way to do that. I can't do anything with Home Sharing except play music while another device is also on the network, and even the iTunes copy directions pertaining to external drives, CDs, etc, all just transfer the music library. I want apps, too. If I try plug anything directly into my iMac via USB I get an annoyingly persistent bonging error message - "iTunes could not connect to this (whichever device I plugged in)".
    I was really excited about having my new iMac as my iTunes control base and retiring my MacBook, but it appears I might not be able to do that. Can anyone help me out here? Thanks.

    I gave up and called Apple Support. Turns out it was actually a simple problem - and a valuable lesson learned. Several months ago I was at the airport when I realized I'd forgotten my Apple-to-USB cable. Went to a kiosk and bought a "guaranteed genuine Apple replacement". Well, it isn't. That was the cable I was trying to use to connect my various devices to my new iMac and that was what was causing my problem. Apple support guy was very polite in telling me it wasn't up to Apple standards. Tracked down a genuine, genuine Apple-to-USB cable and bingo! everything is working fine. I'm backing up and syncing my iPad to my iMac as I write this. Caveat emptor when buying "genuine Apple replacement" junk at airport kiosks! And thank you for polite, professional, and spot on support from Apple!

  • Migration from MacBook Pro to new iMac didn't bring iWeb

    I recently bought an iMac and migrated all, or at least I thought all, of the programs and info from my MacBook Pro onto it, but when I open iWeb on the iMac it wants me to make a new website and has none of the info from the one that already exists.
    Can anyone help with this problem?
    Thank you.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Go to the your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on your MacBook Pro and move the Domain.sites2 file there to the same folder on your iMac, replacing the domain file that might be there. That file is what iWeb needs to manage your site.

  • How do i transfer my itunes library from macbook pro to my imac

    how do i copy or transfer my itunes library from my macbook pro to my new imac, i would like to have the library on both computers

    assuming all your media files are in the default location, do this:
    reboot the MBP into target disk mode
    connect MBP and iMac with a firewire cable
    drag the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music - or media - folder) from ~/users/yourname/music on the MBP to ~/users/yourname/music on the iMac.
    since an iTunes folder will be present there already, you will be prompted to confirm if you want to replace that with the one you're moving. click ok.

  • Address book from MacBook Pro to new 24" iMac

    Hey All..
    Just taken delivery of my new iMac 24". Absolutely amazing! However, I'm desperate to import my address book from my MacBook Pro to the new iMac. I have set my MBP into harddrive mode by pressing T on start up. If someone could tell me how to do it that'd be great.
    I am absolutely delighted with my new iMac despite being worries after reading all the disappointed customers on this site.
    Anyways, hope you guys can help as usual.

  • Transferring iPhoto Library from MacBook Pro to iMac

    I am trying to transfer my iPhoto library from my MacBook Pro to my iMac. My software is up to date on both computers. I put my MacBook Pro into firewire mode and tranferred over the iPhoto Library package file. I put it directly into my iPhoto library folder. I double clicked on the file and iPhoto opened, but it said that the file can not be read. Is this because on my laptop I have iPhoto 7.1.5 and on my desktop I have 6.0.6? I have also migrated from the iMac to the MacBook Pro a few years ago, could that be causing a problem? I called Apple about it and they said there is no reason this should not be working.

    Is this because on my laptop I have iPhoto 7.1.5 and on my desktop I have 6.0.6?
    This is exactly why. iPhoto 6 cannot read the iPhoto 7 Library. No version of iPhoto can read a later version's Library. The app is backward compatible, not forward compatible.

  • Icloud stopped backing up (froze really) photo library from macbook pro

    Recently bought a new macbook pro retina and enabled the icloud for storing my photo library (roughly 14,000 pictures)  Set things up about 5 days ago.  In icloud it shows album/event names but no pictures are loaded up.  On computer it says icloud backing up photos (notes 11,000 photos) - I tried pausing and restarting but is stuck at that 11k number for days now.  Perhaps I need to re-do but not sure how to do that... Help?!  Thank you

    Hi!
    Unfortunately, the upload resource on Photos is ***! 14K pictures, you'll suffer.
    I have only 1000 photos (oldest pics, I keep in another cloud service) and the upload was so slow and confusing.
    The my tip for you is deactivate the iCloud Photo Library in all your devices and restarting again by the one them! Or, you can reduce the number of photos you desire to upload to cloud.

  • Having difficulty migrating info from MacBook Pro to new iMac

    I have been trying to migrate my information from my MacBook Pro (10.9.1) to my new iMac (10.9.1).  I've connected the two via ethernet.  They are recognizing each other, but then one or the other seems to shut off and requires me to enter my password and it stalls the whole process.  I've attempted this migration at least 5 times now (or more) and the same thing keeps happening.  Any suggestions?

    I just got a new iMac on January 2nd, and moved 320GB worth of data from my external Time Machine backup drive (a Firewire drive connected to the new iMac via the Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter) to the new iMac in about 3 hours or so.  This was all done via Setup Assistant, not Migration Assistant (which can be run later on for those in a hurry to use their new Mac).
    It almost sounds to me as if you're transferring everything via WiFi.

  • New iMac - need to move files from Macbook Pro to new iMac

    Hi there everyone,
    Did some quick searching, but didn't find the answer that I needed.
    I am picking up my new 27" iMac (base model) and will need to move my files and programs from my Macbook Pro to the iMac. What is the best way to accomplish this? Are there any tools on the iMac that will help do that, or is it a manual effort?
    Thanks!
    Mark

    When you first start new Mac it will ask you if you want to migrate. Say yes at that point and Setup Assistant will migrate everything for you.

  • Transferring files from MacBook Pro to new iMac via Firewire

    Hi guys
    My MacBook Pro is seriously on its way out and I would like to transfer my music files, work documents, photographs, videos etc. onto my brand new iMac and the best way to do this I would think would be to link the two up via Firewire. The MacBook Pro is no longer accepting my external hard drive and fails during during DVD's, so those options are out.
    So I was wondering if someone could advise me on what type of Firewire cable to get. As far as I'm aware I didn't get one with either the MacBook Pro or the new iMac, so I think a purchase is necessary however, I've spotted that there are different kinds with different ends, some which have 6-pin, 8-pin and 9-pin and I have no idea what to get. Could someone advise me on what would be the best item to get for this situation?
    My MacBook Pro is one that was the model before the black keyboards came back in, and the iMac is the brand new one at 21".
    Thanks for your help guys.
    Steve.

    Hi
    FireWire 800 / FW800 / IEEE 1394b uses a 9-pin connector for both the imac and the macbook pro.
    good luck.

  • Transferring from MacBook Pro to new IMac

    Hi
    I started up the new IMac and choose to synchronise between the Macbook Pro and the IMac via ethernet. Everything was going well till it hit the timzone settings. It has now been stalled on this screen for 2hrs and nothing is changing.
    I'm wondering what to do
    - should I shut down the Imac and start again?
    - wait?
    - something else?

    Abort and try again.
