Transferring Albums between iMac and iPad Air iPhoto's

Just bought an iPad Air and it set up fine and synced with all the old iPad info of my iPad 1. On iPhoto however, it only imported the albumns that I had on the old iPad and I could not import an album I have on my iMac in iPhoto onto the new iPad. Any suggestions.

Hi
I have an imac running iphoto 7.1.5 and have updated my itunes to the latest version 11.1.3, my opp system is Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
When i sync my ipad via usb cable, my iphoto 7.1.5 loads and i can transfer files from my ipad to the imac, but not the other way round.  I tried to follow your instructions above by using itunes but after clicking on the ipad tab there is no iphoto tab appearing.  Is it because my iphoto version is so old or am I doing something stupid,  i would appreciate some help
Thanks

  • Transferring files between iMac and Mac Air

    My daughter gifted me a new but older Mac Air (mid 2011). I tried to transfer files from my existing iMac (2008) to Mac Air using migration assistant, but the connection never happens. What am I doing wrong?

    It sounds like you were attemting the transfer over a network.  Try creating a Time Machine backup (or updating the one you have) and use that with Migration Assistant.  It is faster and more reliable.  You need a Time Machine backup anyway so if you don’t have on this is the time to create one.  Create one (or more) for each machine.

  • HT4783 Why can I not airdrop between my iMac and iPad Air?

    Is there a way to airdrop between my iMac and iPad Air?

    AirDrop uses different systems to transfer data in iDevices and Macs, so you cannot use AirDrop between an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad and a Mac. If you want this feature, send the idea to Apple > http://www.apple.com/feedback
    Instead, there are other ways to transfer data between the Mac and your iPad, like Dropbox, or use iTunes.

  • IMac and iPad air vs MacBook Pro retina

    Hello there
    With the new products being released, I was wondering what combination people have gone for.
    At present I have an iPhone 5s, iPad 2 and windows laptop but really want a mac.
    What combination have others gone for??
    I am considering iMac and iPad air, or Retina MacBook Pro with potential retina ipad mini.
    Problem with the iPad mini is, is there a real need with the iPhone and rMB Pro?
    Cheers
    Jonathan

    My old 17" MacBook Pro finally died, since I like a large dispaly and Apple no longer makes a 17" laptop I decide on a 27" iMac. I travel quite a bit and since my iPad 3 has replaced the laptop while I'm on the road I decided my money was better spent getting a higher end iMac rather than a MacBook. Even around the house my MacBook was pretty much left on the desk since I always grab the iPad when going portable.
    I wouldn't compare the iPad with an iPhone. And the only way to really choose between the iPad mini and an Air is to go to a store and hold them. Myself, I again prefer the larger screen.

  • I have a Domain name with email forwarding to my Service Provider which worked very well when I had a PC. Now I have iMac and have changed to IMAP from POP3 so I can sync. between iMac and iPad but how?

    I have a Domain name with email forwarding to my Service Provider which worked very well when I had a PC. Now that I have iMac I have changed the account type to IMAP from POP3 so I can sync. between iMac and iPad but how?
    I do receive emails into my iMac for which I have 3 email accounts but am struggling on how synchronise between iMac and iPad so that both are up to date at all times.  I have also set up a iCloud email account thinking this was the way to go but have drawn a blank.
    Any help would be very much appreciated.

    Linc Davis,
    I have set up my email address both within my iMac and my ISP as IMAP accounts and I receive all emails without problem on my iMac. I have also set up an iCloud email address using my iMac.
    I have enabled the email within "setting" on my iPad and have used the iCloud account.  I have sent emails from the iMac to iPad using the iCloud account address and vice versa.  I have also sent emails from the iPad to the iMac using my non-iCloud email address and they have gotten through.
    The one thing I would like to have is for the iPad "mail" mailboxes to mimic the iMac "mail" mailboxes and both to be "in sync".  I am not really interested in using the iCloud email address for my email but would really like to use my "normal" addresses as these are what most people know me by.
    Do I need to set additional accounts within the iPad which are the same as the email accounts I have within the iMac and my ISP?  I have reached the end of my knowledge as regards email synchronsing.
    Thanks

  • Bluetooth between iMac and iPad

    Both iMac and iPad are searching but not finding each other
    Could it be that the Software version matters
    iPad      5.1
    iMac      OSX 10.5.8

    What are trying to achieve via Bluetooth between the two ? Bluetooth on the iPad is mainly for headphones and keyboards, not, for example, transferring content - supported profiles : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647

  • Share iMovie project between iMac and iPad?

    Is it possible to share and continue a iMovie project between a iMac and iPad?
    Or the share is only possible between iOS devices?

    In general the simplest way would be to store the document in iCloud, and use iCloud to access the document from both your iMac and iPad.
    But your post above says you're running Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6.4).  Snow Leopard is now two years old.  I'm not sure it supports iCloud.

  • HT1631 How  can I share and sync passwords between  iMac and iPad

    I'm in password ****!!!!  My memory is not what I once was and managing passwords on my iMac and iPad is making me crazy.  The iMac is the home planet at work for the iPad and it use it all day... the iPad is my device of choice when at home. 
    The value of a strong password cannot be understated in these times!!!!
    Is there an easy way to sync passwords between the two.  I find I spend way to much time  resetting passwords because I simply cannot remember them.
    Again... and again... and again... is the story of my life.
    Help
    mike

    The following may help:
    If you are using Safari on both devices and you have iOS 7.0.3 or later on the iPad and OS X Mavericks 10.9 or later on the Mac, iCloud Keychain may be what you want: iCloud: Frequently asked questions about iCloud Keychain
    There are other options available with 3rd party software. Two popular ones are https://lastpass.com and https://agilebits.com/onepassword

  • How to edit/share documents between iMac and iPad

    I would like to edit documents on my iPad and have those changes appear on my iMac and vice versa.
    I was hoping to use Office2 HD and Dropbox, but it seems that documents can't be saved back to Dropbox on the iPad. Everytime I try and save in Office2 HD I get a "this folder is read-ony" error.
    Is this a problem with Dropbox or is it a problem with Office2 HD?
    What work flow would people recommend? I was hoping to not have to buy the whole iWorks for both my iMac and iPad. I don't do that much of this kind of stuff and was hoping for a cheaper solution.

    Thanks Angelus angel.
    I think I worked out my problem. Because of the way the iPad deals with security you can't open a document directly from the Dropbox app into another app and then save it back.
    Instead I had to setup my Dropbox details in Office2 itself. Now it works great!

  • A problem to sync emails in Mail app between iMac and Macbook Air

    Hello members,
    I have had a problem that can't sync emails in Mail app(OSX Mavericks) betwee iMac and Macbook Air. I have iCloud mail account and several Gmail accounts on the mail app.
    Is there anyone to help me?

    When both are at home on the same network and sharing drives, you can use a variety of tools.  Check the App store for fily syncronization.  Also, OS X includes rsync if you are a UNIX command line person, and there are shareware GUI's for rsync as well (RsyncX was one I remember).  Then there are commercial tools like Chronosync.
    Another, albeit to my mind cumbersome way, is to use an airport time capsule and time machine.  You use TM to backup each machine, and use the option in TM to browse another TM backup to restore from (eg. come home from a trip, backup the MacBook Air, then log on to the iMac, browse to the MBA backup volume and restore what you recently worked on from there).
    Or get a NAS device for home and use that as a common personal form of dropbox.  The key would be keeping a neat uniform directory structure for the things you need sync'd - like maybe just the Documents folder & subfolders.

  • Is there an issue opening Pages documents between iMac and iPad"

    got the most recent version of operating systems and pages on both iMac and iPad; thought I should be able to open Pages document on both computer and device.  am I wrong?

    Make sure you are trying to open these documents in Pages 5. If you're using a Dock icon you had before updating, be aware that the Dock icons are not updated & will continue to launch the previous version which is still in your Applications folder in a folder named iWork 09.

  • IMac and iPad Air quality

    Hello!
    I bought a iPad 3 last fall and it's great device. I regulary used it and never had a problem with it.
    This September I bought iMac. It's amazing computer, good OS and I'm happy to use them. But after 2 months it broke and still being repaired.
    In November I bought iPad Air, but on his screen were dead pixels, I replaced it, but new device also had dead pixels!
    As a result, over the past 3 months I bought 3 Apple computer and all had defective! What's going on?

    My old 17" MacBook Pro finally died, since I like a large dispaly and Apple no longer makes a 17" laptop I decide on a 27" iMac. I travel quite a bit and since my iPad 3 has replaced the laptop while I'm on the road I decided my money was better spent getting a higher end iMac rather than a MacBook.

  • How do you make the actually open safari iCloud tabs sync between iMac and iPad?

    I'm trying to have it so the web browser tabs I actually have open and viewing at any time, are synced between my iMac and my iPad.
    This doesn't appear to work via iCloud Safari tabs, you just get the tabs open on your iMac as a list you can access on the iPad if you go digging through options.
    Any help would be very much appreciated!
