Possible to move Flickr set form one iPhoto Library to another?

Is it possible to move Flickr set form one iPhoto Library to another?
Thanks very much,
Henry

Maybe - a Flickr set is a special kind of album - maybe iPhoto Library Manager can do that - check it out and ask the authors - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/

Is there a way to move photos directly from one iPhoto library to another iPhoto library?

How can I move selected photos from one iPhoto Library to another?

When I set up a new iPhoto Library and copied photos into it, only the thumbnails transferred. I want to combine the two libraries now and have the master photos in the combined library. How do I do that in iPhoto 11 and how do I then remove duplicates?

The only way to merge libraries is with the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager

Moving events from one iPhoto library to another

I want to move some events from one iPhoto library to another. Does anyone know that this is possible and if so, how do I do it?

iPhoto cannot do it . The full version of iPhoto Library Manager can transfer events between libraries, or Aperture can do this.
You can download iPhoto Library Manager here: iPhoto Library Manager
If you want to save the money for additional tools, doit manually:
Export the photos from each event you want to transfer to a folder.
Import the folders with images to your other iPhoto library.
You have to make up your mind, if you want to move the original files to your other library or the edited versions. Only exporting the original files instead of the edited files will preserve the full quality. Actually, you want to export both. Using iPhoto library Manager will ensure, that both will be transferred and paired as one photo.

Moving photos from one iPhoto library to another

Is there a way to move photos from one iPhoto library to another? I tried to use export, and that puts the photos in the other iPhoto library (I can see the photo if I open Hard drive>user>pictures>iPhoto Library but when I open iPhoto it is not in that Library's library.
If I have not made myself clear, please ask and I'll try again.

Is there really no other way than via third party software??
Yes there is, detailed above: export from one, import to another.
I love using iPhoto but this is a real drawback.
Wow, really?
I have bought an external disk so i can free the space on my laptop by moving photos and now I have to buy some software in order to do that??
You don't have to buy it. What's more the free version of iPhoto Library Manager will move up to 20 pics at a time. And the paid version is only $20.
BTW: you can run an entire library from the external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity 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.

Generally it is not advised to have multiple Photo libraries - but if you do you need IPLM to manage them

How can I export a project (a book) from one iPhoto library to another?

I have a photo book in an iPhoto library that was on a laptop. I'd like to export it from that library and import it into my iPhoto library on my iMac. Is there any way to do that? Thanks!

No
Books do not exist. They are just database entries. So you must move the entire database (the iPhoto library by default) to move a book. You can make a smaller database by duplicating the current one and deleting everything except the book and it's photos. You can make and save a PDF of a book

How do I import one iPhoto library into another?

I have one iPhoto library on my iMac--family photos--and just imported another one from a Mac Mini, which I've called iPhoto (hiking), as it is photos of our hiking trip. I'd like to import everything from the latter into the former, then delete the latter. I tried just dragging the latter in, but instead of merging, it replaced the former. I've fixed that, thanks to Time Machine, but now need to merge my libraries. Any ideas?
Thanks

Well I'm not sure what you did but no one else has managed to ever import one Library to another without causing a mess as described above - in fact as you describe yourself:
It imported the photos and the thumbnails. All I had to do was delete any duplicates and orginize it.
You also lost any keywords, albums, Faces and Places along the wy. Merging two libraries will not import any thumbnails, there will be no duplicates and you'll have no organising to do.

Can I move "keepsakes" from one iPhoto library to another?

For one reason or another a specific "keepsake" photobook was created in an iPhoto library that only contained a subset of all my photos. Now I would like to integrate this specific photobook into the iPhoto library that contains ALL my photos, such that all keepsakes are together.
Is there a way, even a work-around or a round-about way that this specific keepsake photobook can be moved into the overall library?
Thanks for any pointers/suggestions/advice.
Cheers,
Veit

No, there is no way to move a keepsake from one Library to another.

Is it possible to move gamecenter info from one apple id to another?

Hello,
When I didn't have an apple id I used my fathers id, but now that I also have one I would like to transfer al my games, achievements, friends, etc to my other account.
Is this possible if so would someone tell me how.
Sincerely,
Lalolalo9
P.S. I'm not sure if this is the right community!

No, it is not possible. All purchased items under one Apple ID are permanently connected to it. They cannot be transferred to another Apple ID. You can, however, repurchase the items under your new Apple ID.
You can always call Apple to see if they can be of help.

Transferring from one iPhoto library to another

How do I import photos from an older iPhoto library to a new one, without creating duplicates?
If I import the old iPhoto library folder, I end up with duplicates (both the modified photos and the originals). If I import just the folder for modified photos, then I can't "revert to original."

nvanderkolk:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Does the new library have photos in it or is it new? If new and empty, move it to the trash and copy the old library folder into the Pictures folder. Download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name, long or short, in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. Then launch iPhoto and let it convert the old library to the new version complete with keywords, comments, albums, etc.
If the new library has photos in it and you want to keep the keywords, comments, etc. from the old library intact then try the following:
1 - rename the old library and put it in the Pictures folder along with the new library.
2 - run BatChmod on the old library folder as described above.
3 - launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and, when asked, opt to select a library and select the old one. Let iPhoto convert it.
4 - download and use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to merge the two libraries. This will keep all your metadata intact.
If you don't need the keywords, etc. of the old library then all you need to do is drag the Originals folder from the old library folder into the open window of the new library. That will import the originals into events (if you have the Events preferences set like this) that correspond to the rolls you had in the old library.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How do I add photos from one iphoto library to another library

I own 2 macs and want to take the photos from one library and add them to a different library on a different Mac. How do I do it? I've copied the iphoto library from computer 1 to computer 2 but haven't yet done anything with the file.

Best solution is to use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to move photos between libraries
You can move one version of the image with selected metadata by exporting from one library and importing it to the other library - Exporting From iPhoto

Moving pictures from one iphoto library to another

Hello all, I have a simple question.
I have all of my pictures on one computer in an iphoto library. I have a new imac (it's quite lovely) and I would like to move all my pictures to that mac. Which folders do I need to copy and move to my new computer? I would like to keep albums, etcetera.
Normally I would just transfer all my stuff from one mac to the other and voila, it's done, but I have done that so many times that there is a problem with my User info and it has followed me from several computers now, so I am starting fresh. I would like to keep my pictures however. Which also leads me to my next question. Could someone suggest a good way to archive my 40 some-odd gigs of pictures?
thanks in advance.

Re: Copying the Library - 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. Include the option to check and repair permissions in the Library.
Re: Archiving: There is no permanent storage solution for digital material. Yes DVDs do offer longevity but even the most expensive are prone to problems eventually. The cheaper ones sooner! To my mind the best option is to have a variety of solutions, on- and off-site. Optical media, Hard Disks, Online Storage solutions should all be used - and more importantly - checked regularly.

Importing keywords from one iPhoto library to another iPhoto library

I start a new iPhoto library at the beginning of every year. I've made a collection of keywords in the previous years library that I would like to import into the new iPhoto library. I've tried assigning all of the keywords to one picture, exporting it from the old library and importing it to the new library, but it didn't take the keywords with it. Is there anyway to import this keyword list so that I don't have to recreate it?
Thanks,
Claire

Claire
You're on the right track, but you'll need iPhoto Library Manager to do it. It's the only way to move files from one library to another while maintaining metadata. So, assign all the keywords to one pic, then transfer it to the new library using iPLM. It's a $20 shareware, and all round good app. You can read about it here:
