Transfer pictures from a MacBook Pro to a MacBook Air?

I have 3,500 pictures in iPhoto on my MacBook Pro and want to transfer them to my MacBook Air - what is the best way?

Why not try to add that library to Macbook Air via your network, go to File-switch library and navigate to your library on your Macbook Pro.  If you were planning to access it via a network you'd be all set that way only thing would be that it is not physically on the Air.  You would need the Pro powered up/available to access the library.
You could probably copy/paste via your network to transfer it, but "Shared Library" is explained here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1198?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US and may or may not be the answer to your question.

  • How do you transfer pictures from a droid incredible to a macbook pro?

    How do you transfer pictures taken on my droid incredible to my MacBook Pro? When I plug the phone into the computer using the usb port I get a message saying--"The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." Any help would be apppreciated.

    Is the phone set to be used as a Mas Storage Device? Check the phone settings. If it is then the SD card should read as a FAT32 device and any computer that can read FAT32 formatted drives. which all computers I know about, will be able to read the files on it.

  • How do I transfer pictures from my Samsung Comback to my MacBook Pro??

    I connected my phone to my laptop with the cord and nothing happens. I don't know why please help! My photo memory is full and I want to put the pictures/images onto my mac & does the plug go into the 1st (closer to you) or 2nd (closer to the screen) insert and yeh... Please help! Thank you! Can you show step by step how to with my Samsung Comback? (I've tried looking it up and none of the websites work)

    Doesn't your phone have a USB mass storage setting? I believe you have to first put the phone in USB mode, once you've done that, either iPhoto or Image Capture should see your phone.

  • Transfer pictures from PC - External Hard Drive - MacBook = Duplicates?

    Hello.
    I recently bought a MacBook Pro.
    So I am NEW to the whole Apple World.
    I was trying to transfer pictures from a Windows PC to the MacBook via external harddrive.
    I opened iPhoto, File, Import to Library. Once there I went to Devices, picked the Device which has the Photo Album, picked the Album and clicked Import.
    After the Import was done, I have one Album in iPhoto, plus each picture has a File folder in which it is to more times, one small and one regular size.
    Wy did that happen?
    What can I do to have just the Album with the lets say 25 picture instead of 75 in iPhoto.
    Like I said, I am NEW to the Mac world.
    Thank you.

    I have no Idea why the screenshots came out so small but maybe you'll still see what I am talking about.
    On here you can see, the first one is the actual picture, the second file folder (highlighted) has two more pictures of the actual picture in the folder.
    So each picture has to "copies" of it.
    The first file is the actual album with I think 8 pictures in it, iPhoto shows a total of 24.

  • How to transfer pictures from my cellphone onto mac book pro

    How do I transfer pictures from my cell phone unto my macbook pro?

    What Cell phone do you have? I have the LG Lucid phone which is an android phone and just use the usb cable to transfer the files. I also have dropbox that I will use from time to time as well. I have to set the connectivity setting to Mass Storage to be able to transfer files and photos. The media sync option only works if you have Windows. When I first plug the phone in, Mac will tell me that the device is not compatible and will ask if I want to eject or ignore it. When the phone is first plugged in, it tries to run as an installer so Mac doesn't like it. Once I ignore it, the phone then becomes a storage device and will show both the internal and the external SD card on my desktop. I can then use the standard copy and paste methods to move files from the phone to the drive or you can use iPhoto or other photo progams to copy them. I have picassa on the system that I use to get photos.

  • How can I transfer pictures from my MacBook Pro to my iPad mini please?

    How can I transfer pictures from my MacBook Pro to my iPad mini please?

    If you are on iTunes 11 on your Mac then you may want to re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar, which might make it easier to navigate and may instructions may make more sense.
    To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you've enabled the sidebar), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
    If you haven't enabled the sidebar, then from your library click 'iPad' at the top right of the screen and you should get a series of buttons along the top of the screen, including one for Photos

    How to transfer pictures from iphoto on macbook pro to iPad. I have the transfer app on both devices.

    Connect the iPad to your MBP and open iTunes.  In the photos section of your iPad in iTunes you can choose selected albums, Events or the entire iPhoto library to sync to your iPad.

  • Transfering pictures from Droid Razor Memory Card to Macbook Pro Laptop!

    I have a Droid Razor & I'm trying to transfer my pictures from my memory card to my Macbook Pro Laptop. It's not working. Can someone please help me nobody seems to know anything about how this is done through Apple or Verizon. I can transfer my pictures onto my Dell Desktop with no problem. I'm getting very frustrated. I knew I should have bought the IPHONE but Verizon talked me out of it! Please someone help me A.S.A.P.
    Thanks So Much,  Ann

    Thanks Mike for getting back with me. I'm trying to uninstall VCast from my laptop now. Hope it works. I've had my Droid Razor just before Christmas, my husband bought it for me for a Christmas gift. Now when I slide the bar across to unlock the phone it goes real slow. I'm really not very happy with this phone at all, but I guess I'm stuck with it. What do you think as far as to which you think is the better phone the IPhone or Droid Razor. I'm having a hard time uninstalling VCast from my apple too. If you have any suggestions I would really appreciate it. Thanks so much.    Ann

    Thanks for following up Ann. When you plug in your RAZR, is VCast opening up on your laptop? If so, I suggest uninstalling it from the laptop so it does not interfere with what we're trying to do.  When multiple programs are trying to read the same USB device, it causes conflicts. As far as the iPhone goes, if you're still within your 14-day exchange period, feel free to exchange the device for one that you want.  Please keep me updated when you have the time.  Thanks, MikeS_VZWFollow us on Twitter @VZWSupport

  • How can I transfer photos from my Imac OS9 to a Macbook Pro OS 10 ? 10

    How can I transfer photos from my Imac OS9 to a Macbook Pro OS 10 ?

    The easiest way is probably to use a USB flash drive (you may have to test whether it is compatible with the Mac OS 9 iMac).
    Somewhat more complicated would be to connect the two computers via Ethernet to (the built-in switch of) a broadband router, and then transfer files over the Internet (or a local network).
    There are other methods as well (FireWire, CD-R, et cetera), depending upon the exact computer models involved.
