Transfer Pictures from Mac Mini to Macbook?

I need to retrieve some photos from my Mac Mini for use in my Macbook.
I have Mac Mini but no monitor for it.
Macbook is hooked up to wireless DSL.
How can I do this with no monitor to see the info on the Mac MIni?
Thanks!

If you have a firewire cable, you could connect the two Macs together and start the Mini up in Firewire Target Disk Mode. Then the Mini's hard drive would appear on the MacBook's desktop as a hard drive.

    When you first start the MBP, run Setup Assistant and connect the two machines with a FireWire cable.

  • Exporting iphoto pictures from Mac mini to macbook problems

    Everytime I try to do it, I get this:
    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j251/chaslam500/Picture1-1.png
    Thats done when exporting via a disk, and does the same (but says cannot find location) when trying it with wifi or via an external HDD (Even from the back up of the mini it doesnt work.
    What can I do?

    Have you searched or posted in the iPhoto forum?

    They might have a better idea of what's happening and it might not be specific to using the MacBook.

  • Can not transfer pictures from iPhoto on my MacBook Air to any of my devices via airdrop.

    Can not transfer pictures from iPhoto on my MacBook Air to any of my devices via airdrop.
    I have a new iPad Air 2 and a iPhone 5 all running the newest updates and IOS,OS X.
    I can airdrop from my iPhone to iPad and vice versa.  But iPhoto on my macbook air does not give me the option via share to airdrop any of my pictures to my phone or ipad.
    <Re-Titled By Host>

    My MacBook air is a mid 2012. When I go to finder then airdrop it shows me
    my iPad and my iPhone but when I go to iPhoto on my MacBook air it doesn't
    give me the option to airdrop pictures to them. Not sure why.

  • Moving photos from mac mini to macbook...AH!

    So I want to move all my twos years worth of photos from my mac mini to my macbook. I tried just putting the actual folders for 05' and 06' from my mac mini onto an external hard drive and then dragging then into iPhoto on my macbook, but it didn't organize them well at all. There doubles of some of the photos and some of them are way out of place. Is there a better way I can transfer these fills and keep them organized?

    Bananaeatsmonkey:
    All you need to do is copy the entire iPhoto Library folder to the Macbook and place it in the Pictures folder unless you have a library there with additional photos in it. If no then a simple replacement is all you need to do. When you open iPhoto it will open that library.
    Note: Just to be sure all permissions/ownership are correct on the copied folder download and run BatChmod on it as follows before opening for the first time:
    download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administartive name in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application, iPhoto dB file backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar

  • Switching from Mac Mini to Macbook Air

    Hello, this is my first post in this forum and I hope that I chose the right category.
    Right now I'm running a Mac Mini 2011 Base model, that is the one with an 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 processor and I have also upgraded the RAM from 4GB to 8GB.
    I know want to take a step further into the Mac laptops and I have my eye on the Macbook Air but I have some questions.
    The work I do is mostly writing code and light photo editing with Photoshop, no heavy photo editing or video rendering. I want to know which Macbook Air I should pick to get about the same performance as the 2011 Mac Mini that I'm running right now because I'm very happy with my Mac Mini.
    Here are some questions:
    1. How do the processors stand up to the Mac Mini? The latest Macbook Air of course runs the new Haswell processors but I'm uncertain if I should pick the upgraded i7 processor that's available. The Macbook Air has a lower clock frequency than the Mac Mini and I was wondering if the Macbook Air can stack up.
    2. Should I get the 11 inch or the 13 inch screen? I will be doing most of my work hooked up to an external monitor but sometimes I feel the need to sit down at an more comfortable place. Is there anyone who has any experience with web design/coding on an Macbook Air monitor?
    I'm already planning on getting the 8GB of RAM upgrade and probably the 256GB SSD too.
    I'm very thankful for any answer whatsoever!
    Sincerely,
    Fabian Lindfors

    Mac Mini is great isnt it? Got a couple of them and typing on one now.
    My new base model 2013 macbook Air I5 with 8gig of ram
    vs. what im currently using now,... this Mac Mini QUAD CORE with 16 gig of ram.
    Honestly on simplex Photoshop editing I notice NO difference between my quad core 16gig RAM Mac Mini and my Macbook Air 13" I5.
    Ive had both 11" and 13" macbook Air, I really wouldn't go back to the 11". 
    Also the battery life in the 13" is a lot more than the 11".  Much larger Lithium Polymer battery packs on the 13"
    Yes, get the 8gig of ram regardless
    Here is an excellent video comparison between the 11” I5 vs. I7 2013 Macbook Air.

  • HD from Mac Mini into MacBook; do I need to reformat the drive?

    Hello. We have a 2010 White MacBook 7,1 that had been experiencing a few problems (slow, quirky behavior, poor battery performance and unable to repair permissions) and the HD seemed to fail when we attempted to upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mavericks so I replaced the HD with a brand new drive out of a Mac Mini.
    My question is do I need to reformat the HD for the MacBook since it originally came with the Mini? It starts up and runs fine but I'm not sure if there may be any unexpected issues down the road like incorrect firmware updates or something? Has anyone else already done this before?
    Thank you for any useful input.

    No, you don't. You just need to check a few settings, such as the Energy Saver ones, and that any commercial software on the drive runs.

  • Cannot transfer pictures from old Droid to MacBook Pro

    I purchased a new iPhone two days ago and need to get the pictures from my old Motorola Droid.  Have tried attaching Droid directly with USB cable to my MacBook Pro -- nothing "pops up" to be opened.  I took the microdisc out of the Droid, put it into a microdisc adaptor, and tried hooking up a disc reader to the MacBook, still nothing.  Verizon can't help me, and calling Apple directly also was no help.  Anyone have any suggestions?   Thanks!  ElyArtist

    My local Verizon store said they "could not make the transfer" because of "liability" issues if they lost my photos.  Do I need to go back and be more insistent?

  • Don't want to pollute my ipad how can I selectively transfer data from mac mini?

    I have had users on this computer that have downloaded questioanble resources. I have grandchildren and we like to play on my ipad I do not want any objectionalbe video on this ipad.  I also don't want to make my creative content available for duplication to a user who had hooked up their iphone.  I am attempting to start over with my ipad. I have tried to keep them off the main computer but I need safeguards since the user is opportunistic. They also have a better understanding and advantage I am however an administrator at least as much as much as my husband allows me. I believe this user could still manupulate via wireless or remote with her iphone. I want to stop her completely but I know to challenge this user completely would mean an esculation. I have seen my email with another adress attached . I sometimes put in the exact password and still find for a short period cannot get into e-mail an Apple password  might not work? Is there script I can see that would suggest a problem.

    Your situation is a little bit confusing to me, but I will give this a try. I hope that I fully understand what you are trying to do.
    There is no way that anyone can access your iPad wirelessly or remotely at all. It just is not possible to do that in iOS. Because of the sandboxed nature of the iOS, it will not allow that type of interaction. However, if your iPad has been "polluted" by another user or that user's content, you might want to totally erase the drive and start all over again, and not restore from a backup. Erase it and start all over again completely. You will still be able to download most if not all of your paid content again as long as you use the same Apple ID that you used to make the purchases.
    Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings will totally wipe the iPad clean and you will have to activate the device all over again. Don't restore from the backup when you get to the point during the activation where you are prompted to do so.
    If you want to download all of your constant again, read this.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store ... - Support - Apple
    Erasing your iPad and starting over again is pretty radical if you are not absolutely sure that this users has really sabotaged the device. Please make sure that you realize what you are doing, and if I am reading the situation incorrectly, please state that in your response.
    What you are saying about this user having access to your computer is certainly concerning and without knowing what the circumstances surrounding her ability to do so, I can only recommend that you discuss this situation with your husband and take steps to prevent her from using it, or at least from using it without you being there to observe.

  • 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

    HHow can I transfer pictures from my old Mac mini to an external hard drive? Thanks.

    Normally you should be able to drag and drop them onto the drive, provided the drive is Mac formatted. Have you already tried that?

  • Transfer pictures from macbook pro to iPad mini

  • 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.
