Transfer iPhoto, iTunes from iBook to iMac

Hello-
Just wondering how to transfer my pictures and music from iBook to iMac?
I'm not sure if my firewire port is functioning on the iBook so that way
may not work. Thanks

cjohnson24, Welcome to the discussion area!
The fastest way is to boot your iBook in Firewire target disk mode. The iBook will then appear as an external FireWire drive on your iMac.
FYI, from your system information you have an Intel-based iMac. This discussion area is for the older iMac G4 . You should post future questions in the Intel-based iMac discussion area.

  • Trying to transfer iPhoto library from MacBook to iMac.

    I am trying to transfer one iPhoto library from my MacBook to desktop iMac to create more harddrive space on laptop.   I successfully transferred photos to external harddrive.  When I plug harddrive in to iMac, the iPhoto icon appears and the pictures are there, but I am not able to select it in order to import the library.  I was able to drag the icon to the desktop and the pictures are there - but when I try to dump in to iPhoto - it only gives me the option to launch and replace a new library.  I am seeking to combine the two libraries.  I would be so grateful for any guidance this community has!  Many thanks in advance!

    Hello:
    You need to export the photos and then import them to the new library.

  • Transfer iphoto library from MacBook to iMac

    I need to know the best way to move my iphoto library from my MacBook to my iMac. I have over 4000 pictures on my MacBook, and I tried to upload them to MobileMe but it takes forever the way I am doing it. (I am probably not doing it correctly, I have to click on and select each jpeg file to upload it.) I am getting very frustrated! I am sure there is an easier way to do it, I just don't know how. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    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 launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

  • Best way to transfer old files from iBook to iMac?

    About two years ago, my key lime iBook died. Since it was pretty well used, I bought a G5 iMac and didn't worry much about the old laptop. I now want to get files from my iBook to my G5. I replaced the power input board and got the machine to start without incident.
    I purchased a firewire to use Target Disk mode to get the files I want, but I'm having trouble making the two machines talk. The iMac can see the iBook and can tell me how much memory is left, but I can not pull up any specific files. The cursor spins and the finder is useless until I give up and disconnect the iBook.
    My iBook is still using 9.0.4 while my iMac has 10.4.8. I think this gap could be the problem, but I'm not sure what to do about it.
    Is there something I'm missing about TDM? Thanks for the help!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Your iBook does not support Target Disk Mode:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
    Probably you have to take apart your iBook (quite easy):
    http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/50.0.0.html
    Then you can put the HD in a external enclosure and back-up your stuff.
    The HD will fit in any USB or FireWire 2.5 inch IDE (or ATA) enclosure.
    All this seems difficult, but it is easy!
    Hopefully this is helpfull or solved your problem.

  • HT5772 how can i delete books from ibooks on iMac

    how can i delete books from ibooks on imac?

    That doesn't work. It only allows you to delete your local copy but keeps the book in your library. The instructions on Apple's site are also incorrect. They suggest going to iTunes and selecting Books from the Library menu, but there is no Books option under that menu in the current version.
    Anyone at Apple listening?

  • Transfering iTunes from PC to iMac

    I have had iTunes on a PC for several yrs now.  I just purchased an Apple iMac and need to transfer my iTunes from PC to Apple iMac.  Not sure how to do it.
    I also have an iPad and an iPhone and want them to sync with the new iMac.  How do I make it all happen.  Don't know enough about
    Apple to do it yet.
    Help?
    k

    but how do I get the iMac to be the main computer that the iPad and iPhone sync with?
    By copying the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to new computer.
    This way it is the same library, not simply a new library with all the same media files.
    When you plug in your iDevices, they will sync without a hitch as you are using the same library.

    how can i transfer my contacts from iphone4s to imac with different apple id without loosing everything on my phone

    Move the iPhoto library from the Pictures item of the Finder's sidebar on the MacBook Pro to the same location on the iMac via FireWire Target Disk mode, or a drive, partition, or disk image formatted as Mac OS Extended, or through AFP file sharing over a network.

    This is threadjacking. Where someone posts something in a thread that has nothing to do with the thread. If you want to ask a question, then start your own thread. You won't get an answer here.  But to keep you from having to start a thread, there is no iPhone unlock code.

  • HT1727 how do I transfer my iTunes from an external hard drive to a different computer?

    How do I transfer my iTunes from an external hard drive to a pc?

    If you don't have all of your music files within the iTunes Music folder structure, simply moving all of your music to a new location will not result in your iTunes library automatically updating the file paths to all of your songs appropriately. If you have a few other locations in which you store your music, you can take the ExportImport script turingtest2 wrote, make the modifications below, export the results, paste them into Microsoft Word or Excel, do a Find and Replace with the correct file location, and then import the new locations. To use the script, follow turingtest2's instructions on this thread as posted on Dec 19, 2012 6:28 AM.
    Note that the modifications, while they worked for me, show my lack of experience with VB as the progress bar will no longer work. Definitely be sure to back up your iTunes library file before executing the script with the below modifications, but doing this for 3500 items didn't even take 2 minutes for the script to run.
    Line 89 was:        Prog=True
    Line 89 is now:     Prog=False
    * I had to do this because otherwise the progress bar was erroring out. So, i just turned it off.
    Lines 164-165 were:    
    'File.WriteLine "<#>" & .Location           ' Not so useful if working with missing tracks
    'File.WriteLine "<Album>" & .Album
    Lines 164-165 are now three lines (the middle one is the only uncommented line): 
    'File.WriteLine "<#>" & .Location           ' Not so useful if working with missing tracks
    File.WriteLine "<Location>" & .Location          
    'File.WriteLine "<Album>" & .Album
    Finally, insert this whole block around line 270 so that it looks similar to the others:
            Case "<location>"
              If T.Location<>Value Then                ' Don't update if value won't change
                T.Location=Value
                U=U+1
                Trace T,"Updated Location"
              Else
                V=V+1
              End If
              'If Trace Then MsgBox "Updated Location"
    Note that I had to comment the very last line as well or else the program errored out. You won't be able to trace the results either.
    Just thought I'd share this in case anyone else needed something like this.

  • I recently purchased a new iMac with an external drive.  I want to transfer my files from my old iMac to the external drive, but I'm afraid that doing that will compromise the use of the external drive on my new iMac.  Comments?  Help?

    I recently purchased a new iMac with an 1 Terrabyte external drive.  I want to transfer my files from my old iMac to the external drive, but I'm afraid that doing that will compromise the use of the external drive on my new iMac.  I have not downloaded the external drive's software onto my old Mac because of this concern.  May I simply "drag and drop" the contents I want transferred to the external drive, then set up my new Mac with the drive and download there? or is there a better procedure?  Comments?  Help?

    If your intention is to copy a just documents and data (word processing files and music for example) then yes, you can use drag and drop. If you want to transfer data and applications and permissions, it would actually be easiest to connect the drive to your old computer and turn on TimeMachine. Once TM is finished, connect the drive to your new computer and restart it holding the option key to get into Recovery mode. Then you can use the restore from TM option to transfer your data and programs to the new computer.
