Transfer photos from my MacBook to my MacBook air

Hi I am trying to transfer all photos from my old MacBook. The operating system is leopard 10.5.8 I believe! My new MacBook Air is mountain lion and is up to date. I am currently trying to transfer the files from the old mac to the new MacBook Air via the system migration feature via Ethernet cable and thunder bolt adaptor. I have tried this process a few times and still the photos are not transferring. If anyone could help that would be a great help. I don't have a external hard-drive otherwise I would try that option. Thanks in advance.

One thing you could do is copy all the photos on your old Macbook to a USB drive, then plug that USB drive into the Air and import the photos.

  • How can i transfer photos from my macbook to my imac without altering their quality

    I am trying to transfer photos from my macbook to my imac, with the same version og iphoto, but it seems that the imac is having trouble to give me clean photos, as if it was putting 2 images, one on the other.... any suggestion for a clean and quick transfer ? and to what may cause that the photos seems blurry ?
    thanks
    Lau

    Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

  • How can i transfer photos from my macbook to a regular USB

    how can i transfer photos from my macbook to regular USB plugged in it

    For a few photos, you can select them in the iPhoto library then drag and drop them to the USB key. This is a copy, so the originals will remain in iPhoto.
    To move the whole library, use the procedure described here:

  • Is possible to transfer photos from a macbook pro to an iphone without itunes or an internet connection?

    Is possible to transfer photos from a macbook pro to an iphone 5 without itunes or an internet connection? I'm a pro photographer and I need to transfer photos from my camera, edit them, copy photos to my iphone and send via 4G network to an editor. I will be in a location without internet access and my old computer itunes wont sync with my new iphone 5. I can't upgrade the computer right now because I need some of the old software.  Thanks.

    Some decent suggestions for apps to do this in this thread:

    How do I transfer photos from my MacBook Pro to my iMac?

    You can go into your pictures folder in your user folder on your old computer and copy the iPhoto Library file (should be fairly large) either directly to the new computer or to an external drive.  Copy the old iPhoto Library over to the new pictures folder on your new computer.  The old iPhoto Library should overwrite the iPhoto Library on your new machine.  When you fire up iPhoto on your new machine, everything should be there in the same form as it was on your old machine.

  • How can i transfer photos from my macbook to my camera in OSX Lion?

    I am having difficulty transferring some of my photos from my MacBook to my camera. When the camera is connected and i open the DCIM folder then the CASIO100 folder the photos are there. But when i eject the camera the photos aren't on the camera

    I am not familiar with your camera; mine uses SDHC memory cards, so I simply insert the card into either the card slot (if available) or a card reader and then manually move pics to the card. Once I insert it back into the camera, the pics are there.
    You might try to drag 'n drop (copy) the pics from your Mac into the DCIM folder - that would be my first try.

  • HT201302 How do I transfer photos from my MacBook Pro to my iPhone WITHOUT deleting them from my computer?

    I have ~5000 photos on my MacBook Pro, only a few if which were taken with my iPhone. If I use Sync in iTunes any photos on my computer that were not taken with my iPhone are deleted from my computer. There is no obvious way to prevent this happening. Could I create a duplicate iPhoto library and "sacrifice" it while syncing my iPhone without losing other libraries? Any other ideas?

    No, that doesn't work that way.
    Photos on your computer ae not deleted by iTunes.  When you sync photos to an iPhone using iTunes, photos on the iPhone that are not in the folders or albums being synced by itunes will be deleted from the iPhone. Photos on your computer should not be touched at all.
    Also transferring pictures from the iPhone to a computer has nothing to do with iTunes.
    It is done through Photos, iPhoto, Aperture, or even Image Capture.

  • I would like to download my iTunes library onto a mac mini running OS 10.4.11 (and iTunes version 9.0.2), or transfer it from my macbook air, running OS 10.7.5. Tried downloading direct from iTunes and file sharing, but neither is working.

    Hello apple support community!  I'm trying to download my music purchases from iTunes onto my old Mac Mini.  It runs OS 10.4.11 and doesn't have the capacity to upgrade to a newer OS.  When I ask iTunes to check for available downloads, it says there are none.  I have tried updating the iTunes software (version 9.0.2) but it can't connect to the server, even though I am on a wireless network.  I've tried using home sharing and file sharing with my macbook air, but neither are working.  Grateful for any suggestions!!  The only thing I really use this mini for is music, so really hoping to be able to get my music purchases on there.  Thanks.

    Thanks, Jim, for taking the time, but the reply is unfortunately vague in the exact area of my confusion!  "you need to copy that file to your new computer..."  Well, the Import/Export instructions make it seem as if the two computers should be able to communicate this file thru wifi, but that's the linkage I can't seem tocreate with Import/Export.  Should I instead email a copy to myself (thats what applecare suggested)?  Copy it to and from a thumb drive?  But then place the file where?  And the article was helpful, but should I be trying to move the Library file or the Library.xml file (as iTunes Help suggests)?  Sorry to be so clueless about it...I suppose I buy Apple in the hopes of not having to think about this stuff, which approach seems not to be serving me well. Thanks again for your time!

  • How to transfer photo FROM pc [Wn 7] TO iPad air using iTunes

    I can not find a step by step instruction on transferring photos "from" computer to my iPad air. I had it working at one point. So I know it is possible.
    I find instruction that only get me part way . . like make sure you have latest update,, then follow instruction. Never see any instruction. I do not care to have iCloud Photo Sharing.  I can take pictures with iPad and get them uploaded to my pc.  I have jpeg photos on pc that I would like to take with me on my iPad. Like I said I did get 1 pic. at one time from pc to ipad.

    Connect the iPad to your computer and select it in your computer's iTunes, and on the left-hand side of the iTunes screen select its Photos tab (this screenshot is from a Mac, it should be similar on a PC) :
    You should then be able to use the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select the photos that you want to copy from your computer to the iPad's Photos app.
    You will have to select and sync all the photos that you want from your PC together in one go - synced photos can't be deleted directly in the Photos app, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next sync.

  • 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 can I transfer photos from my macbook to my emac

    Hi, I used my Macbook while travelling and downloaded about 6000 photos. I am now home and wish to transfer part of these photos to my desk top eMac. How can i do this quickly?Thanks

    If your MacBook has Firewire, use Target Disk Mode on the eMac:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
    Otherwise, you probably will be much better getting a hard drive that combines both USB and Firewire interfaces from http://www.macsales.com/ and put the photos on there.  If your eMac has USB 2, a Flash drive isn't that slow.  By the way, eMacs are not iMacs.  You posted to the eMac forum.  In the future when asking about eMac issues, please post to the link below:
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/desktop_computers/emac
    Once we are done with this discussion.

  • How to transfer photos from my macbook pro to my iPhone 4s?

    Can any one give me some step by step help?

    You have 2 options:
    1. Open iPhoto and connect the iPhone and you'll be prompted to import
    2. Open Image Capture and connect the iPhone and you'll be prompted to import
    You might not have iPhoto, but you definitly have Image Capture. But iphoto is the better programm also to store and organize photos.
