Transfer photos from Mac notebook to iMac

Best way to transfer Photos from Mac notebook to my imac

There are several different ways....
see > Mac Basics: File Sharing
or > How to use Migration Assistant to transfer files from another Mac
But to be honest, I prefer just copying the Photos onto a Flash Drive or Hard Drive and import them into iPhoto on the other Mac.

How can I transfer photos from iPhoto on an iMac to iPhoto on a macbook

How can I transfer my photos from iphoto on an imac to iphoto on a macbook, both have same operating software.

Depends on what exactly you want to do and on what version of iphoto you have on each
To move selected events from one to the other pruchase iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - and use it to move the photos or events
To move the entire iPhoto library
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

Should I be able to transfer photos from Mac to iPod touch 4? I can only send from iTunes.

I can't seem to transfer photos from my Mac to my iPod Touch via Bluetooth. It only wants to transfer from iTunes. Help please?

"I can't seem to transfer photos from my Mac to my iPod Touch via Bluetooth"
That is correct. This has never been a feature of any ipod.
" It only wants to transfer from iTunes"
That is also correct.
You sync photos to ipod touch via itunes.

Transfer photos from iphoto on my imac to my ipad air

I am trying to get my 1700 photos from my imac (yosemite 10.10.2) ot my ipad air. I am going through itunes, but am not seeing the items than a former thread suggested. I cannot get to iphoto on my mac from itumes. What am I doing wrong?

If you have iCloud Photo Library (beta) on, you use that, not iTunes, to transfer photos. See: iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
iPhoto is not compatible with iCloud Photo Library (beta) and will soon be replaced by a new app "Photos" that is compatible. In the meantime if you want to continue to use iCloud Photo Library (beta) from your Mac there are instructions in the above link.

Can I transfer photos from old macbook to iMac and put all photos on a new external drive without losing any photos?

Had to purchase new Macbook so all devices could sync with Yosemite. I use iMAC and Macbook with iPhone, etc. I have many photos over years and do scrapbooking. I want to preserve my pix on an external hard drive and organize them. I am currently using external drive on iMAC and a separate one on Macbook that is outdated. I use them with TM for backup. Can I transfer pix data only to the iMAC via a transfer cable and then send all photos to new external drive for access and safe storage? I am confused about backup not preserving my photos. Help please me transfer and save my pix and properly set up my external for access. Thanks a bunch!

connie,
I assume you are storing your photos in an iPhoto library, since you are asking in the iPhoto forum?
if you want to store your iPhoto library on an external drive and keep them safe, you need two external drives. One drive to store the working copy of the photo library, that you are using to work with your photos, and one drive for time machine to make back copies of your iPhoto library.
Can I transfer pix data only to the iMAC via a transfer cable and then send all photos to new external drive for access and safe storage?
You could simply plug your new drive into the MacBook and copy the library from the old drive to the new. Then connect the new drive to your iMac and use the iPhoto library there.
Make sure, your new drive has the correct file system - MacOS Extended (Journaled) . See this link: iPhoto: Issues with FAT32-formatted drives

How do i transfer iphoto from Mac laptop to iMac?

We have approx 7000 photos on our G4 powerbook. We have recently bought a brand new iMac OS X 10.5 and want to upload our old photo library to our new.
We backed up our laptop iphoto library to external hard drive in Sept 07. So I connected the ext. hard drive to the iMac and imported via "import to library". I noticed at the time that the photos flashing up on the screen as they uploaded were in a rather random order, but crossed my fingers and hoped. Then I went back to the laptop and updated the hard drive with the photos from Sept 07 onwards and uploaded those to the new iMac too.
My problem is this, the photos in our new iphoto application now seem to be in totally the wrong order, and quite random at that.
How do I fix the problem, does it involved deleting the imac photo library and starting again, or is there another way?
Thanks

The correct way to move you iPhoto library is to copy it to the pictures folder on your new computer (the new iMac - congradulations!) - not to import it
So if you have the library that you want to move intact then trash the iPhoto library from the pictures folder on your iMac (If you want to be safe drag it to the desktop to save it until you complete the move and test it then trash the desktop copy) and copy the library you want on the iMac to the iP+Mac pictures folder and launch iPhoto - it will open that library, upgrade it as required and you will be set

PS - when you import an old library you will get at least two copies of all photos (the original high resolution and the thumbnail) and for modified photos at third modified copy - not what you want

HT1535 how do i transfer photos from iphoto on my imac to my new ipad

I have read and reread the ipad manual and under importing photos and videos - this is all it says,
"To transfer the photos to your computer, connect iPad to your computer and import the images with a photo application such as iPhoto or Adobe Elements."
There are no explicite instructions on how to get the photos from iPhoto onto my iPad. There is nothing in iPhoto either.

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.)

How do I transfer photos from mac to external hard drive please

How do I transfer photos to a external hard drive please?

This answer may need to be expanded a bit. If your photos are in iPhoto and you are moving iPhoto's library to an external drive, once you've dragged the library to the external drive you'll need to let iPhoto know the library has moved. Hold the option key and double-click iPhoto (or click on the iPhoto icon on the Dock). You'll get a fileselector menu to select the library - point it to the external drive. Once you've established that the copied library has copied correctly you may drag the library on your computer to the trash and empty the trash.
Warning: You do have a backup of your entire computer, right? Just in case something goes awry with the process having a backup is always a good idea.

When i try to transfer photos from mac to iPad the albums that move over do not contain the same photos as the albums on the computer. extra photos are added and some do not move over at all

when i try to copy albums or events from my computer to ipad 2, the transferred albums or events lack some photos from the original events but also contain other photos from differennt albums or events. i have tried rebuilding the thumbnails and repairing the database but none has made any difference. further if i try to import the entire library then again only a small subset gets over.

Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for the iPod Photo Cache.
Trash it. Start iPhoto and try sync again.
