Transferring iphoto content to timecapsule, transferring iphoto content to timecapsule, transferring iphoto content to timecapsule, transferring iphoto content to timecapsule

I want to free up some space on my mac book pro as it's getting very sloooww! The 2 obvious things to go are photos and music. Should I transfer these to my timecapsule? If so, how?
Any advice would be much appreciated
thanks

This is a difficult problem and one for which there may not be a solution apart from redirecting each alias manually for each photo.
When you run a Referenced Library iPhoto makes an alias to the actual location of the file. Aliases are quite good when the files are on the same volume. However, once they are on another volume, particularly one not formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled), like a NAS, aliases will not follow the file when the file is moved. It will not update the path to the file.
iPhoto has no file management tools to force the db to recognise the new location of the files.
So, you need to find an app that will examine those aliases and try reconnect them with the new location of the files. Some folks have had success with [FileBuddy|http://www.skytag.com/filebuddy> others haven't. Give it a try.
If that fails your options are
1. Reconnect each photo to the alias manually.
2. Convert the Library to a Managed Library - AliasHerder is an application that will replace these aliases with the actual files, and so preserve your Library and all your work in it. As always: back up first.
I note that you plan to use a Time Capsule for storing the photos. This is not a designed use for the product, and you'll still be in a position with the Library on one volume and the photos stored on another.

I upload all of my photos from my iphone 5 onto my macbook air to get more space on my phone, and now whenver i try to upload it says there is no more storage or there was a problem transferring a picture. what can I do to get more space onto my iphoto?

i upload all of my photos from my iphone 5 onto my macbook air to get more space on my phone, and now whenver i try to upload it says there is no more storage or there was a problem transferring a picture. what can I do to get more space onto my iphoto? I've tried putting the pictures on flashdrives, but iphoto would no tlet me transfer.

I don't know how large the SSD (solid state hard drive) is, or how big your iPhone 5 is, but with some iPhones having 64GB and some Airs having as little as 64GB and some having as much as 512GB it's not hard to see how storing the contents of your iPhone 5 on your Macbook Air could run you out of space.
Go to the Macbook Air and bring up a finder window and pull the Go menu down and go to the Computer. Right click on the Macintosh HD and select get info. See if there is any available space on the MacBook Air. If not you are out of SSD space (you're storing more on your Macbook Air than it has storage for). I'm not sure if iTunes can store its library on an external hard drive or quite how you would make that happen. But even if you managed that, when the hard drive was disconnected, you would lose access to your library. Using a smart media card might be possible (I don't know) but it would probably be irritatingly slow. If you have a small Air and a big iPhone you might just have to find a different computer to sync to. Just remember a 64GB iPhone is a big chunk of SSD for a Macbook Air. I did it with my previous and my current Air but even my previous one had 256GB and I really just fit.

I transferred my iPhoto FACES to my mini iPad and: (a) they are not in the alphabetical order I had them in, (b) some of the FACES have been deleted, (c) the EVENTS I checked off in iTunes do not all appear in the iPad?

Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there.
Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A Finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for the iPod Photo Cache. Trash it. Start iPhoto and try sync again.

I have iPhoto '08 (version 7.1.5)transfered to EHD - lost pics

My IMac was too full with all my pics on my hard drive so I moved pics to an external hard drive. Um.... Did not have the good directions I have found since then before I moved the iPhoto Library. I now have all photos and the Library on my EHD. Can open I Photo and all pics are displayed. The problem now is when I click on the pics in IPhoto I do not get the pic but get the black-white circle with the ! inside. If I search for that jpg by the # or name I can locate it on the EHD and open. How can I get back to how it worked before I transfered all to the EHD? Help appreciated.

It sounds like you managed to corrupt the Library. The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents. If you can return those images to exactly the same location they were prior to moving the Library you may be able to fix it.
Otherwise:
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Why do I lose video content when exporting/backing up a video clip to DVD in iPhoto?

I am transferring/backing up my iPhoto library to a DVD. When I do this, I see the "content" of any video clip does not transfer. By this I mean I can see the image identifying the clip on the DVD but the "time" is 0:00. Can someone pls advise how to get this content to transfer so I can eliminate these clips from the iMac? Thanks! (I have Mac OS X 10.7.5 and IPhoto 11 9.4.3)

How are you backing up the library? Are you exporting the photos to a DVD or a folder on the Desktop and buring that to a DVD? If so be sure to select Kind = Original in order to get the actual video file.

Ipad2: pictures transfered from camera, not displayed on my mac (iphoto, itune , phototransfert.....)

Hello communities,
I have a simple issue, I have bought an ipad 2 this summer and transfered the picture from my camera in my device. all was perfect to see each evening the piture daily pictures by using a Diaporama.
Now, I would like transfer the picture to my Mac. But I can't see images when I connect my Ipad elseif I Use Itune ,Iphoto, Image transfert or another applications....
What can I do? All is correct on my ipad , it's like the files are invisible...
Advance thank for your answers.
Regards

Have you tried a reset of the iPad : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. Have you also tried rebooting your Mac ?
Do the photos still show in the Photos app on the iPad ?

I purchased a new imac (4G, OS X 10.6.8) in Feb 2011 and thought my old iPhoto library transferred over. It wasn't. And I can't get iPhoto to open on my old mac. It says, "can't open your current version of iPhoto using this version of iPhoto. You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto". I don't think my old mac will support the newer version of iPhoto so I feel like I'm stuck (this is why I got a new mac -- cheaper than upgrading all my software, etc). Help! I really need to get to my old photos, and no, they are not backed up anywhere. Thanks.

You have two options:
Run the Library on a machine that has the same version as the machine that was stolen.
or
Recover the files from this library and start over from scratch.
To recover the files:
Go to your Pictures Folder (or whereever you have the back up) and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Your originals are in the Masters folder.
Note this will only recover your photos as imported from you camera.

Can both iPhoto contents AND a separate folder be exported to Apple TV ?

I'd like the contents of iPhoto AND a separate folder of photographs on my hard drive, transferred to Apple TV, however I prefer not to import the folder of photographs into iPhoto.
Is there anyway I can do import to Apple TV from both iPhoto and the separate folder, or MUST I choose to import from iPhoto OR from the folder?
Many thanks.

There isn't a way to view folders and iphoto content from the same itunes library.
However as a work around you could set up a new user account on your mac, register the itunes library for the new user with the tv for streaming only and choose to stream folders (choose iphoto from your main user library or vice-versa).
Providing you have both user accounts open and itunes running in both, the tv will see both libraries regardless of which user is active, so once set up you can leave the second user running in the background.

Transfering iPhoto '08 library to new mac iPhoto '11

I have a new iMac OS Lion with iPhoto '11. I wanted to migrate my huge (67,000 photos) iPhoto '08 library from my older Snow Leopard iMac. I've got them hooked up via ethernet.
Since it looked like the newer iPhoto had some different little files inside the "iPhoto Library" compared to the older version, I showed contents on both and transfered the older files/folders into the new virgin library, so as to keep the fresh empty files untouched, just in case there were new prefs etc.
But when I open the new iPhoto it still seems to think its empty.
Should I have just copied the entire old iPhoto library over and replaced the new one? Or is there a special command to tell the new iPhoto to start whatever conversion process etc?
Thanks.
ps: I didn't use the migration assistant since I didn't want any legacy crap from the past three mac to move over, so that is why I am manually moving music, docs, etc over.

Should I have just copied the entire old iPhoto library over and replaced the new one?
yes
NEVER make any changes of any sort to the contents of the iPhoto library - it is a SQL database you there are no user servicable parts within it
Migration assistance does not handle the iPhoto library well sometimes - the best way is to drag the existing iphoto library from the pictures folder on the new system to the desktop if you have any photos you want in it, connect the two systems together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old system to the pictures folder of the new system and launch iPhoto on the new system - it will open and convert the iPhoto library as necessary and you will be fine - once you test the iPhoto library you can delete the one on the desktop

How do you export photos and movies from iPhoto to your iPhone? I synced the device and noticed that some photos and some movies from iPhoto on my laptop were not transferred to my iPhone.

How do you export photos and movies from iPhoto to your iPhone? I synced the devices and noticed that some photos and movies on my laptop iPhoto were not transferred to my iPhone?

I am not sure, which answer you found - so just in case:
If you sync your iPhone with the iPhoto library, the photos will only stay on the iPhone until the next sync and they are not in the Camera Roll. If you transfer using the Photo Stream, they will only be vidsible in the stream, until they are replaced in iCloud by newer content.
So, if you want to transfer the photos permanently, save them to the Camera Roll.

Transfering photos to iPhoto from PC

I switched over to a mac a year ago, and since then I've been working on transfering over all of my pictures from my PC. I had them carefully organized on my PC with the date and name for each folder of photos. I transferred the pictures, folder by folder directly into iPhoto and changed the event name to not include the date since the date the picture was taken is automatically picked up my iPhoto. If any dates were incorrect I also manually changed the date.
A month ago I noticed that I was missing a significant number of events in iPhoto. Upon futher investigation I realized that all of my pictures prior to 2007 and also those pictures from 2008 were missing! I wasn't nervous that I completely lost them because they are still on my PC and I also have a time capsule that backs up my mac everyday. The issue is that I think I lost all of my organization. I called up Apple Support and they walked me through the steps to recover my iPhoto library and it seems to have restored all of the missing event, only the event names and dates are all messed up. This is terribly frustrating and I'm wondering why these events disappeared in the first place! I'm now wondering if I transferred the pictures into iPhoto incorrectly the first time. Are you supposed to transfer folders of pictures into the home folder under pictures and then import them into the iPhoto library? I had directly imported my photos into iPhoto so there are no individual pictures showing in my pictures folder. I'm still a novice when it comes to Macs so any help is appreciated!

If you're running a Managed library, then it's the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing
If you're running a Referenced Library, then you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced and iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing.
Sounds like you have a damaged Database file:
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.

Transferring iPhoto albums from old macBook Pro to new - need help!

I am using the firewire to firewire connection to create a disk of my old computer on the desktop of my new computer. It is imperative that I transfer my iPhoto data from my old laptop to my new one with all the labels and albums / folders intact. I have 4 years of photographic microscope data from patient laboratory tests on my old hard drive. These folders are labeled with the patient identifiers and the date of test as well as the diagnosis. I need to have these data on my new computer so I can pull up archived photos to compare new results with past ones. However, when I go to transfer the photos from the old computer the images are only available as "raw" data - that is, I cannot access them as they are arranged in my old computer: folders that have albums by date, subject and lab test. The only images that I can access are what is seen when they are originally imported from the camera (e.g. dsc-0001, etc - not my labels, or my tags, my albums or folders: not "Ms Smith, 12-21-06; positive", etc).
Is there a way that I can import my photos from the old computer into the new one and keep my folders, albums, tags, labels, etc? Or are these data destined to be lost to the archives?
Any help is gratefully appreciated

You should be able to copy your iPhoto library directly to the new computer. It's /Home/Pictures/iPhoto Library. Drag it to the same location on your new computer. Also copy /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iphoto.plist.
Or make things simple and user Migration Assistant on the new computer to migrate your user accounts, third-party applications and support files, and network preferences.
If you have a Time Machine backup you can restore from your TM backup.
Migration Assistant tips and tricks
How to use Migration Assistant to transfer files from another Mac
A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
The Knowledgebase article Intel-based Mac: Some migrated applications may need to be updated refers to methods of dealing with migrating from PowerPC chips to Intel with the Migration Assistant safely. The authors of this tip have not had a chance to verify this works in all instances, or that it avoids the 10.6.1 and earlier Guest Account bug that caused account information to get deleted upon use of the Migration/Setup Assistant. However, a well backed up source that includes at least two backups of all the data that are not connected to your machine will help you avoid potential issues, should they arise. In event it does not work, follow the steps below.
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
Screensavers written for the PowerPC
System Preference add-ons
All Unsanity Haxies
Browser and other plug-ins
Contextual Menu Items
Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
Kernel extensions
Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior 4.1, TechTool Pro 4.6.1, SuperDuper 2.5, and Drive Genius 2.0.2 work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries. Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.

Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode, copying the critical contents to CD and DVD, an external hard drive, or networking
will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs. The initial section below discusses Target Disk Mode. It is then followed by a section which discusses networking with Macs that lack Firewire.
If both computers support the use of Firewire then you can use the following instructions:
1. Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
2. Backup your data. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
3. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
4. Startup your old Mac in Target Disk Mode.
5. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
If you are not able to use a Firewire connection (for example you have a Late 2008 MacBook that only supports USB:)
1. Set up a local home network: Creating a small Ethernet Network.
2. If you have a MacBook Air or Late 2008 MacBook see the following:

MacBook Air- Migration Tips and Tricks;
MacBook Air- Remote Disc, Migration, or Remote Install Mac OS X and wireless 802.11n networks.
Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
If you want cookies:
/Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
/Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
For Entourage users:
Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data
Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft
Credit goes to Macjack for this information.
If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.

New 21.5" imac & old g5 - transferring iphoto & itunes without other junk

I just rec'd a new 21.5" iMac. My old G5 holds all of my iTunes and 4000 photos in iPhoto
I ran the migration assistant to transfer iTunes and iPhoto libraries to the new 21.5
Instead of iTunes & iPhoto data transferring, my new 21.5 is unnecessarily loaded with all of the "junk" my daughter has loaded onto the old G5 over the years
There is NOTHING important to lose on my new 21.5, and I'd appreciate deleting all of the newly imported "junk" - all important data is still on my G5, so an "erase and install" would at least start me back at the beginning.
I inserted the Mac OS X Install DVD with the intention of running an "erase and install" but couldn't find the "Select a Destination" pane as my "Everything Mac" booklet instructed.
So, now I've unnecessarily reinstalled Mac OS X on my disk "Macintosh HD" and still have all of the junk, but none of the intended transferred data (my music & photos!)
*I couldn't determine which discussion area was appropriate for this post - if I should move it, please let me know - thank you!*

Now to figure out how to move only my 4000 photos in iPhoto and my iTunes library
The structure of the iTunes folders has changed from that used by your old computer. If you just copy everything as is from the old computer, you won't be using the new structure (iTunes Media). iTunes will still work though but if you are fanatical about preserving all the changes in Snow Leopard, you'll move things carefully to see where they should be placed. I actually went into the iTunes application on Snow Leopard when the libraries were empty and then acquired a sample song, book, movie, etc to see where they were loaded in the structure. iTunes doesn't show the folder name you are going to have until you feed it some content via iTunes app. Unfortunately I cannot describe the folder hierarchy since that machine has been returned to Apple but you could quickly do the same thing I did. Or perhaps someone here will post the iTunes folder hierarchy (including the Mobile Apps).

I have reinstalled Mac OSX 10.6.3 and done the updates from there.
I have reinstalled ilife 11 from disk and done the updates.
I have deleted all the suggested files and then redone install and updates.
I have tried just reinstalling iphoto and doing updates.
Is there any way to get a replacement - /Library/Frameworks/iLifeSlideshow.framework/Versions/A/iLifeSlideshow
file with the right architecture?
