Transfer pictures from one MacBook to another

If I have a bunch of documents like a whole bunch of pictures in a folder on my desktop, and I want to transfer them to another computer, what is the best way to do this? I have Time Capsule so thought of transferring that way, but I'm not sure how? I also have a firewire to firewire cable, and both Macbooks have the Migration utility, but I'm not sure how to do that either? When I use the Migration utility, I am only able to transfer all documents, not just the folder on my desktop? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

How do I set up a firewire network?

but the last time I tried to transfer the pictures using the T button held down, it appeared to only allow me to transfer all of my documents, not just the selected pictures in the folder on my desktop
Don't use the Migration Assistant. Instead, find the other computer's hard disk on the desktop and navigate to the pictures in the Finder.

    How do I transfer pictures from one user to another user on MacBook Pro laptop?

    Transfer files between user accounts on the same machine?
    Finder > Go menu > Computer
    A window appears with your boot drive, double click on it to open
    Inside is Users folder, double click to open it
    Inside is your User accounts, double click on the one you want to send files too
    Double click on the Public folder drop the files into the DropBox folder,
    The permissions will change and can be used in the other user account when you log into it.

  • How do i transfer iTunes  from one Macbook to another?

    Hello.
    How can I transfer my itunes account from one Macbook to another.  They are not in the same household for sharing etc.
    Please advise.

    Are you trying to transfer the content or just the user?  Transferring the user is pretty easy, transferring the content is a littel more involved.  To transfer the user alone, just sign into iTunes on the new computer with your same user name.  Easy as that.  To transfer the content, follow these instructions:

  • How to transfer pictures from one itunes to another?

    I have most of my iPod stuff on my laptop, but my pictures are on my mac. I just got a new iPod, and I did what I normally do to get my pictures onto it- go into itunes, go into my pictures, and apply it. This time, however, not all of the pictures got transferred. I think it would be easier to have all my pictures on my laptop, but I do not know how to transfer them from one computer to another. How can I do this?

    If they are synced photos just copy the folders with the photos to the new computer. Synced photos are not associated with iTunes or the iTunes library.

  • Transfer Iphone from one macBook to Another

    I recently purchased a new mac book and migrated my apps and data from my old mac book. I am trying to sync my Iphone 3 to the new mac book and itunes does not recognize my phone. How do I un-tether the Iphone from my old computer so I can connect it with the new one?

    You don't need to "un-tether" it.
    If itunes does not see the iphone then something is amiss.
    You can try resetting the iphone to see if that helps.
    Some has reported that installing itunes on top of the current itunes can help.

  • How do I transfer some folders of photo from one macbook to another? I do not want the complete library right now

    How do I transfer some photos from an external harddrive (with backup data from one macbook) to another macbook? Ideally, I'd also like to transfer albums as well that photos are linked to.  I need to do this because my macbook is broken and I need to work on photos for the holidays.  I'm not interested in transferring the full library necessarily at this time..but if that is the easiest thing to do let me know.  There are already some photos in the "new" computer's iphoto. 

    Thank you very much Terence for your input.  I successfully transferred the library and attempted to open it on my "new" mac.  However, unfortunately, I discovered the OS and iphoto have not been updated for some time so it couldn't open..argh. 
    My photos were in a 9.4.3 version of iPhoto, so it looks like to get that on this new computer I have to upgrade to snow leopard and then to Lion (not wanting to go all the way up in OS necessarily if it will slow my computer down more).  However, is there a way to open a version 9.4.3 library on an iPhoto app from snow leopard?

    How do I move pictures from one iphone to another?

    Photos in the Camera Roll are included with the iPhone's backup. You can transfer the backup from one iPhone to another which will include all data included with the backup.
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your computer. After importing from one iPhone, the photos can be transferred to another iPhone via the iTunes sync process.
    Photos in the PhotoStream on one iPhone running iOS 6 can be made available on another iPhone running iOS 6 by creating a shared PhotoStream album, or if the same iCloud account is accessed on both iPhones, the PhotoStream album will be identical on each iPhone.

  • 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

    Hi roseabe
    Please give us more details. What kind of computer (model, speed) are you trying to transfer from and to?
    Besides, you don't hold down cmd/apple+"T" on the target computer - just the "T" key.

    How can I transfer work from one computer to another?

    Welcome to the forum.
    I can think of three basic ways to accomplish what you wish to do:
    Use the Project Archiver to archive your Project (and check the box to gather the media files), to an external HDD. Probably the easiest way to do it.
    Copy the Project and ALL media files to an external HDD, but be prepared to relink the media files to the Project, as the drive letter (part of the Absolute Path) will have changed.
    Edit loosely, and Share to an AV file, which will be Imported into a New Project on that second computer. Or, edit VERY tightly, and do the same. I like the first, as removing, replacing Transitions, etc., can be much more difficult, unless that "tight edit" is 100% done.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • How can I transfer information from one ipad to another?

    how can I transfer information from one ipad to another ?

    What kind of information? You can sync things like Contacts and Calendars by using iCloud. You can backup one iPad to iTunes on a computer and then sync the backup to the other iPad. You can configure your iTunes content and sync the same content to both iPads.
    It is based on what you want to do. Or are you looking for a way to send files from one iPad to another wirelessly? There are apps to do things like that, as well as cloud services, such as DropBox.
