Transfer photos, keyword, etc between computers

Just took a trip to India and edited photos nightly on our MacBook Air -- result is 1000 or so photos with keywords, descriptive words, editing. We keep 2 desktop Macs and I want to move these photos to them with all the editing and added information intact. My preference is to merge them into the existing photo libraries on the desktop Macs, although a separate library for the India photos would be acceptable. I tried a normal export/import and the pictures moved but not the event names or the keywords. Suggestions? Thanks.

Thanks -- I will try that shortly. A wrinkle that I neglected to mention is that the library on the MacBook Air has photos previous to the India trip that will be duplicates of some on the other computers' libraries (and in some cases they're early versions of photos that have been edited on the desktops). Is there a way to transfer less than the full library? Thanks.

How to transfer and share songs between computers and IPhone 4

I have a few songs that were purchased on my laptop ITunes that are not on my iphone or desktop. When I tried to transfer them to my IPhone, I received the message that the songs on my Iphone would be replaced by the tunes on the laptop. How do I transfer or share tunes between computers so that each one has all of the songs in my library?

Simple - sync with iTunes as you are supposed to.

Transfering photos with titles, comments, etc between computers

I have a MacBook and an iMac. The iMac is my primary computer and has the larger hard drive. I store all my pictures on the iMac. When I am on the road, I like to update my photos by adding titles, comments, and keywords.
Is there a way I can take a specific album or set of pictures (not the whole library), export them to include all titles, keywords, comments, etc to my MacBook. Import them in iPhoto on my MB and then when I am done, export those pictures back to my iMac, preserving all the new keywords, comments, titles that I added?
I have read here that there are some people suggesting that people make a CD/DVD of the images by exporting to CD which is to include the XML data of the images. But I do not wish to do this, as I am going to be transfering these pictures frequently.
I appreciate your help.

No, connect the two computers so that you can access both from whichever one you want as the primary. You can use a firewire cable and put one in the Target Mode. Then launch iPLM and add both libraries to its list of available libraries. Then you can do the moving between the libraries. This is the only application that can do the merge of copy of files between libraries and keep the metadata, etc. iPhoto Buddy only lets you manage, i.e. move between, multiple libraries.

Transfer events and projects between computers

How do I transfer iMovie '08 events and projects from one iMac to another iMac? I need to free up some disk space on the first iMac, and the second iMac has iMovie '09. I am using Time Capsule as a backup for both computers.

Transfering Photos and music between computers

I original purchased a macnotebook and now have an Ipad and Imac. I had thought cloud would allow me to share my photos and music at home between devices? I can't seem to get my Imac and Notebooks to share wirelessley? Could anyone give me any tips on how to get them linked up?
Thanks. Nick

You might want to explore the concept of "build and export cache" in tools/cache. Not all data is written to the file, some is held in an XMP file, which has same name as file. You want them both to transfer at same time.
To see if you have XMP files click on view/show hidden files.
Don't know much about collections.

Transferring preferences, etc, between computers?

I'm uninstalling my Creative Suite 4 from one PC (Windows XP Pro) and reinstalling it on another PC (Windows 7). Is there a way to move all of my preferences (like my own keyboard shortcuts), etc., to my new computer? Thanks for your input.

Alec, as far as I know shorcut sets are not saved as part of a workspace, but they are saved in a folder alongside in the same directory.
I think the path information for Graphic Squirrel may be easier to understand in Replace Your Preferences. There is no "roaming data folder" in XP (though the path listed in the KB article is otherwise correct).
There's not much point in moving clipboard scrap, or the other items in the C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\Version [#]\en_US\Caches folder other than the InDesign Saved Data file itself (and even that one is questionable) when moving to a new machine. The rest really aren't "preference" items and will get rebuilt when ID is launched.

Is there a way to share music, photos, ibooks, etc., between all the users on one mac without using the same apple ID on each?

There are 3 seperate users on my macbook used by 3 different people. I have had one apple id for awhile and have accumulated many songs, ibooks, and other things. The other 2 users just recently each made an apple id of their own. Is there a way to copy my music from the admin to their user's itunes?
The reason behind them making their own accounts is because they want their own icloud to sync to their iphone instead of absolutley ALL of our information being availabe to each other. If sharing the music and whatnot on our mac is not possible, are there any solutions to the bigger problem of our icloud?

How so? We bought it and it would all be on one computer.

Can I Transfer EDITABLE Aperture Pics Between Computers?

I have Aperture 3 on my desktop and laptop.
I do 99.99999% of my editing on my desktop. However, I had some random, individual pics that I ended up making some significan changes to on my laptop… and now I'd LOVE to be able to bring in these pics (not the whole library) onto my desktop computer with the Aperture-based non-destructive edits in tact. In other words NOT an export of those versions.
Is there an easy way to do this?
tia

Yes gather up the images you want to move into an album or smart album and the do a File->Export (Smart) Album as New Library
Then copy the library over to the other system and import it File->Import Library/Project

Apple Senior tech lady deleted all my external drive data while sorting out other problem. How can I restore all my photos , music etc back to my Mac Pro?(I am so scared, I haven't connected to sync! Please help)

It was tele tech. I couldn't open my Page Numbers etc. Frist tech chat idiot - following dumping few things in bin, asked me yo upgrade to Yosemite. But the problem still persists. This morning I was asked to do it via telephone and like yesterday, after wasting 20 min, I was put to this apparent Tech Queen ( my foot!). She eventually decided to reinstall Yosemite asked me to connect my external drive while I connected to her. She was moving cursor asking me to move files and delete and I followed her like a dummy. It took 3/4 hours and she called me 3 times once the lengthy process was completed. I suspected from the beginng for the fact that why should be asking me to click all my backup from the very beginning! Eventually she said I deleted... Or someone else or may be my children ! It was a blatant lie. I run my small business from home and I was simply staying in front of the Mac whole day! Children were at school. Then she said I must have used another computer! I only have laptop and the iPad. I will talk to their manager first thing in the morning. In the mean time please let me know as to how can I transfer photos, music etc back to my laptop from my Iphone and IPad .? I am will connect to laptop as I am worried the new BLANK iPhoto may supersede iphone/iPad stuff? Will it? Please let me know. I am not a very tech savvy person. My son who could help me, is in Manchester Uni and Inam in London.

Transferring photos and videos between iPhone 4S and iPad 2

Hi
Is there a way (app or otherwise) to transfer photos and videos between an iPhone 4S and an iPad WITHOUT having to go via iTunes on another Mac/PC?
I saw 'Bump' but it seems limited to just contacts and photos.
Thanks

Any suggestions on how you can transfer photos (including location description etc) from iphoto's on a Mac air book to a Mac?

Any suggestions on how you can transfer photos (including location description etc) from iphoto's on a Mac air book to a Mac? Whenever I export the pictures the additional information is lost

Two ways:
1. File -> Export. Set the Kind to Jpeg or Tiff
Check the boxes at 'Location Information' and 'Titles and Keyword'
The information is written to the iptc and Exif metadata on the file.
2. Use iPhoto Library Manager This will get all of the information plus faces and edit history

Can I transfer photos between users on same macbook?

Can I transfer photos between users on same macbook? I've exported them out of iPhoto into a folder on desktop. Would like to move them into other User account on same laptop.

I did figure this out eventually and am going to record it here so later, when i ultimately forget the twists and turns I took to make this happen, I'll be able to come back and see....For me it was not as simple as John (above) offered...First: Export photos from iPhoto into folder on desktop. Click on the folder and select from the top left corner File - Check info- click the box beside shared folder- scroll down to Sharing & Permission and make sure the other user acccount is added to who can read & write.
If you haven't done this already go into System Preferences- Sharing- check the box beside File Sharing- click on File Sharing as well and 2 windows will appear- Shared Folders and Users. Select the shared folder you want to use and in the User window add the other user account to who can read & write.
Next: Open Finder- select Public Folder- drag photo folder into it.
Now log off and open your other User profile. Open Finder. Select Macintosh HD in the side bar- select Users Folder- select the original User profile you want your photos from- select Public Folder- your photo folder should be there, drag it onto your Desktop or directly into iPhoto. If a block occurs saying you aren't alllowed to see this folder then you missed a step in the whole file sharing business.
Viola! it worked. Hope this helps someone else

It seems that the new version of iPhoto will no longer share photos between computers on the same network. Can anyone confirm this?

I have "automatically create previews" in the preferences UNCHECKED. Why is Aperture creating previews? For the screen image?
You might also need to turn Preview generation off for any existing Projects. Select the Project in the Projects pane and use the cog button at the top of the pane to uncheck 'Maintain Previews For Project'.

Place the photos into iPhoto on your Mac. Then when syncing your iPhone using iTunes, clock on the "Photos" tab behind your iPhone's summary tab and make sure the sync instructions are set correctly.
