Transfer photo images from laptop

Hi, I have just bought a 15-inch Powerbook and was wondering what is the easiest way to transfer photos taken on a shoot (and loaded/edited on the Powerbook) onto my G5 iMac. As a keen photographer, I will need to do this regularly. I want to be able to retain my edits without unnecessary duplication.
Cheers Chris.;

Greetings,
Well, the easiest way to do this, and have no duplication at all is to get a portable hard drive and store all your photos there, using the Option key start up for iPhoto.
You hold down the option key when you start iPhoto, and make/select the library on the portable drive, load all your photos on it, and then unmount it, bring it to your iMac plug it in, press option and start iPhoto on that machine, and select the library on the portable drive. This way it's the same library on both computers, and no duplication at all.
It also makes it easier to back up all your photos, you just back up the entire photos hard drive.
Or you could just send the photos over via a network, and erase them from the laptop after they are sent over.

  • BB Locks up when I transfer photo images to the Micro SD Card

    Any one have any idea why my 8330 with 1GB micro SD card locks up when I transfer photo images to the card?
    They are 1.25 MB JPG files.  I tried transferring to the card directly and transferring to the card via Roxio.  Roxio asked if I want to convert.... I agreed to convert the files, but the BB still locks up.  I only had this BB for about 5 days and I have already found several thing I really don't like.  This is the top of the list, second is streaming music won't use Stereo Bluetooth headphones and the Navigation App won't use headphones at all and the GPS App, doesn't work consistently in a vehicle (what's up with that, where else would I want to use it?).

    I would put my money on the memory card being defective. The fact that you verified that the one file that the device
    (regurgitated) was not corrupt. If you transferred it from the PC DIRECTLY to the media card as you say,
    the Blackberry wasn't involved except as a port.
    Try this; remove the media card put it on the reader and load the images. If the same this happens it's not related to the Blackberry as it isn't even in the equation.
    I would try reformatting the card, and making sure the following options are set on your BB.
    Go to OPTIONS _MEDIA CARD_  enable all options except for ENCRYPTION MODE make sure that is none.
    Verify that the total space shown on the bottom of the screen reflects the amount of memory on the media card,
    Allowing for formatting space) ex. On my 8gb card I shoe 7.6gb available.
    If the problem reoccurs it would make sense it's the media card.
    Can't have to much practice at field stripping your device right?  (USAR 70 )

    How can I keep a photo image from fading away on my tv using apple tv?

    Thanks for you reply.  When I paint, I bring up the photo as you suggested.  I begin painting.  After about 10 minutes or so, the photo goes blank.  And, I have to start the process over again to get that same photo.  It interrupts the painting process.  I think it goes blank due to a sleep function.  I have gone into the Apple TV settings and turned off the sleep function.  But, this does not seem to work.  What can I do to keep the image on the TV screen permanently?

  • Is there any way to transfer photos, music from my PC to my new iPad(3)?

    Is there any way to transfer photos, music, from my PC to my new iPad(3)?

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • Is it possible to transfer photos, files from iphone 5s to macbook pro via bluetooth?

    Before I got the iphone 5s, I was using a Nokia phone.  I was able to transfer photos, files from my Nokia phone to macbook pro via bluetooth connections.  It was very simple and POSSIBLE (even though apple support staff said it was not possible to do so).  My macbook pro does NOT need to be paired with Nokia phone as long as it can DISCOVER the nokia phone and vice versa.
    Hence, after i got the iphone 5s recently, I'd expected both devices (iphone 5s and macbook pro) to communicate and connect via bluetooth as easily as Nokia phone.  However, I was disappointed to find out the iphone 5s kept "searching" for discoverable device even though my macbook DISCOVERED the iphone!!  Thus, I was NOT able to transfer any files from these two devices.
    Any apple technical people care to explain why BOTH are apple products cant work?  A Nokia phone and macbook can.  Very strange, isn't it?

    Althought,you can use bluetooth to transfer photos,files from iPhone to Macbook,However,it is so slowly,if you want to quickly copy photos/files from iPhone to Mac,you can use tools or software to help you,such as iStonsoft iPhone to Mac Transfer,This is a very professional tool,Hope this helps!

    Best way to transfer DVD videos from laptop to ipad air

    presuming they're not copywriteed commercial dvd's, you can use a program like Handbrake to convert the dvd files to mp4's that you can then import into iTunes and sync to your device.
    If they're copywritted commercial dvd's then you'd have to break the copywrite encoding to transcode the files and since that is illegal in the US no one here can help you with that.

  • Can I transfer photo's from an i phone to a new i phone over iphoto without having to sync?

    How can I transfer photo's from one of my husband's older I Phone4's to his new I4?  I have downloaded the pictures to our Iphoto but now where to export to when plug up new phone.
    Is there any way that we can do this?  The phone is no longer in service so we can't message them to the other.
    I thank you for helping....

    Is there software available to make this work?
    I think this program will work with your phone. I bought the Universal Kit because of all of the connectors and the Mac version of the Software.
    http://susteen.com/phonesupport/en_US/ATT%20Cingular/Samsung/2350/SGH-A237/
    Lists for $70 with the cable connectors, Mac and PC software, etc. I don't know if they sell just the mac version of their software. Might be worth a call.
    I bought the whole kit a couple of years ago because I was frustrated with my LG phone and BitPim freeware. I know I paid less than list, but I don't remember where.
    Found a couple DataPilot Universal kits on ebay selling for more than company list

I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own.

    Transferring video from laptop to iPad over wi-fi is quite slow. It is much faster to do it with the iPad's USB cable.
    If you are transferring videos to a 3rd party video app, follow these steps (wi-fi or cable);
    1. Open iTunes on the laptop.
    2. Select the iPad in the Devices list in iTunes.
    3. Go to the Apps pane for the iPad in iTunes.
    4. Scroll to the bottom of the pane and find the video app in the File Sharing list.
    5. Press the Add button and then browse to the location of your videos on the laptop.
    6. Choose the file(s) that you wish to transfer to the laptop.

  • HT2729 how can i transfer hindi songs from laptop (window ultimate) to new ipad ? pl. help

    how can i transfer hindi songs from laptop (window ultimate) to new ipad ? pl. help

    If you haven't already done so then download and install iTunes : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Add the songs into your computer's iTunes via File > Add To Library
    Connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Music - if you select that tab you can then select which of your iTunes music to sync to the iPad (it should sync to the Music app on the iPad).

    When you say Elements 9 do you mean Photoshop Elements, Premiere Elements or the Elements Organizer?
    Technically there is no program called simply Elements.

  • Unable to transfer photos (jpeg) from desktop to SD card.  Appears as if successful then does not show up when put SD card in camera.

    Unable to transfer photos (jpeg) from desktop to SD card for Cannon Power shot camera. 
    Appears as if successful, jpegs show up in SD card window,  but they do not  show up when I put SD card in camera.
    Go through entire process to no avail.  SD card is not locked.
    Thank You
    L

    Ahh, extra info ahead...
    Pictures on SD card, SanDisc-SDHC, 4GB Card, are jpeg.  The ones I would like to put on the card are jpeg as well.
    SD format MS-DOS (FAT32) .
    3.876 GB available on card.
    I have
    Exported the pics from iPhoto to the desktop. Inserted sd card into side of iMac.  The icon of card popped up.
    Attempts to no avail:
    1)   Dragged the photos to the disk icon for the sd card.
    2)   Dragged pictures into the DCIM folder (where all photos taken on camera resided).
    3)   Created new folder.  Put photos from desktop into folder and dragged ne folder inside DCIM -since pictures taken at different times had their own folders inside the DCIM folder.
    Every time the photos/files end up showing up on the sd card as long as it is in my computer but when ejected and inserted into my camera, all imported photos/jpeg file are gone.
    Hmmmmm
