I bought a new computer running Lion 10.7.3 and transferred my applications and files from my old Mac using migration assistant but I can't find/transfer my photos from iPhoto and I can't find my old documents such as previous tax returns.

Look for them on your old computer, when found copy the files to a USB drive and move them to the new computer.

Sort iPhoto videos in iMovie from newest to oldest

Hi,
I would like to sort iPhoto videos in iMovie from newest to oldest.
Any help would be much appreciate

i think the iMovie iPhoto window shows them in the same order that they are in in iPhoto, so you need to make them newest to oldest in iphoto. to do that open i photo View menu -> sort photos -> and check "By date" and "Descending" and that should do it.

Hi, when i bought my MB Air there were some updates available on the app store on iPhoto, garageband and iMovie and i wonder if these updates cost anything?

Application Updates from the update icon currently cost nothing. Anything on the App Store that costs money will have a button to buy in Blue with the price in the button.

Is it possible to copy the iphoto library and albums from a G5 to a macpro

I would like to copy my iphoto library and albums from a G5 10.5.8 iphoto 8 to a macpro 10.6.2 with iphoto 9. I would like all the photos and albums to appear in the macpro just as they were in the G5. I have vantecs ezshare adapter that allows you to drag files between two computers mac or windows. Copying photos should not be a problem but its the albums I want to go with the photos and appear in iphoto 9 on the macpro.

iPhoto '09 will open and convert any previous version of the iphoto library - if it is working correctly on the old system it should convert
Firewire target mode is a good way to transfer the iPhoto library - make the connection and drag the entire iPhoto library at one intact as a single entity to the new computer (put it on the desktop or somewhere so as not to mess up what you have done - depress the option key and launch iPhoto on the new system and select the library you just copies (be sure not to select the one on the old computer - you do not want to convert it - conversion is a one way operation) - it should open and convert and be ready to use - then you can quit iPhoto and place it where you want and do the option launch again to tell iPhoto where it is - and do the option launch any time you want to switch between multiple libraries

Can I move my very large iPhoto app and photos from main HD to a larger secondary HD via drag and drop?

Can I move my very large iPhoto app and photos from main HD to a larger secondary HD via drag and drop?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

I transferred files and photos from MacBook to iMac via ethernet cable and using migration assistant. However every time I transferred, it created a separate user and it transferred all files and photos again and again. So now I have 3 users accounts ?

I transferred files and photos from MacBook to iMac via ethernet cable and using migration assistant. However every time I transferred, it created a separate user and it transferred all files and photos again and again. So now I have 3 users accounts with all files and photos saved 3 times on same iMac !! Any idea how to avoid this ?

Yes, you ran into a very understandable problem.
When you use Migration Assistant, it cannot over-write the account that you happen to be using at the time. Upon migrating accounts, it will tell you that it is going to create a new one, but that message is easy to miss.
If you have three identical accounts, log in to the account you want to keep, and delete the redundant ones in System Preferences > Users & Groups.
Now that you know, the easiest way to migrate accounts is to use Setup Assistant when you first get a new Mac. That eliminates any possibility for this to occur, but most people are so eager to use their new Mac that they elect to migrate later.
That's OK too, but in that case you would want to create a temporary account whose sole purpose is to run Migration Assistant so that you may migrate your old one with an identical name. Be sure to give the new account Administrator privileges. When that finishes you would log in to the newly migrated account, and delete the temporary account.

When transferring an 18 minute iMovie from my iPad to iTunes a message comes up saying not enough disk space to send 16917 mb more space needed. How do I overcome this?

Is there enough room on the target disk?
Can the target disk accept files over 2Gb?

Where's iPhoto, iDVD, and iMovie?

I just did a clean install to Leopard, and I don't see iPhoto, iDVD, and
iMovie.
Are they not included in Leopard?
Thanks,
Paul

Hi
I believe that they are all part of iLife, do you have an iLife disk? If not, go to http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=E80 5623D&fnode=home/shop_mac/software/apple&nplm=MB015Z/A & buy it (presuming your in US).

IPhoto, iDVD, and iMovie don't work with Leopard

Hi, I just installed Leopard onto my machine and iPhoto, iDVD and iMovie no longer work properly. For all three I get the error message "(This program) has unexpectedly quit." Can you help?

my husband was having the same problem and it even bled into his sys prefs. the problems actually started after he ran software update last night (things were working find before that, and he's running leopard btw)
he archived and reinstalled (he unchecked the "preserve users and settings box") and we're about to find out if that solved it.
to summarize, you may need to reinstall if software update doesn't fix it. not sure what caused this problem. perhaps some corruption of files?

What is the fastest way to transfer files and applications from an older iMac to a new MacBook Pro?

What is the fastest way to transfer files and applications from an older iMac to a new MacBook Pro?
I have a Firewire cable and Thunderbolt adapter, but no icons showing either Mac appear on either desktop.

The fastest way is to use Carbon Copy Cloner and a external drive formatted GUID OS X Ext. J in Disk Utlilty, then connecting to the new Mac and using Migration Assistant in the Utilites folder.
Even faster, if you can determine your going to replace all the apps from fresh sources anyway (like if the older Mac's OS X verison is old thus the apps) then just use a external drive and copy just your files to it, then connect to the new Mac and transfer over.
Some apps you can just grab the registration code and install it fresh on the new machine with the old code, talk to the developer about transfering the program, as long as it's deleted on the older Mac in the process.
It used to be Firewire Target disk mode was fastest, but since Thunderbolt came out...
Notice this support doc hasn't been updated since june 2012, no Thunderbolt info

How do I control storage location for iPhoto, iDVD and iMovie

My primary drive is getting full and I note that my User file has all of the iPhoto images, iDVD projects and iMovie projects. I want to take these collections off the main drive and place them on one of my external hard drives to open up space on my primary drive (the one with the Applications, etc.) How do I control where my images and movies are filed when I use the above applications? I do not recall designating any save function to this folder or drive. How can I save these files in a location on my external drives in tthe future? If I move these images and movies from my User file, will that cause a problem for iPhoto or iMovie or iDVD in finding the files in the future as I use these applications?

Hi
They are using three different concepts - VERY UNLIKE APPLE to do like this !
• iPhoto saves in a iPhoto library and there can be more than one - using the alt-key during up-start let's You to select which one You want to use and on Main Hard Disk at Root level in Photo folder.
• iDVD - Save an iDVD Project file (sort of folder) where You want to find it.
• iMovie - saves Event's and Project's in iMovie Event's resp Project's folders AND ONE MUST NOT alter or move anything in them or location of them - Moving Event's and Project's MUST BE DONE inside the iMovie Application !
So while one can move iMovie Event's and Project's to another Mac - the needed Photos (and audio from iTunes) will be missing and very hard to get iMovie on second Mac to find and recognice.
Yours (also confused - and moving step by step into the OLD FinalCut realm - Where everything makes SENSE !)
