Viewing iPhoto photos from another Mac..

I must be blind or stupid, but not so long ago, I was able to share my library, and from my wife's macbook, upon opening her iPhoto, she was able to see my library, see all the photos and even copy some to her local iPhoto..Or this has disappeared or I'm unable to see how to set it up, or why is it we don't see it anymore.
Browsed all the internet, but couldn't find anything clearly related, I'm using Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.
If anybody can help, I'd appreciate.
Thank you,
all the best

That feature was discontinued with iPhoto 9.5.  Now you'll have to use Shared Photo Streams to share/transfer photos between Macs. 
Or if you just need to transfer a photo between your Macs you can use the Air Drop feature. Export out of iPhoto and activate Air Drop.
Any Mac with that capability will show up in the window above your icon and just drag the photos to it. 
This Apple document describes it in much better detail:  Mac Basics: AirDrop helps you share items with others nearby

    just import the iPhoto
    Surely you meant "just import the photo"?  The Spell checker is dangerously creative !

  • Import Photos from another Mac

    I would like to get photos from iPhoto, which have been edited (i.e. given a title) from my MacBook and have them on my iMac as well. How do I do that?

    The elegant way to do this is to get both Macs on the same network--this can be done using a network switch or router. Then, on the Mac receiving the photos, open iPhoto, go to the preferences, click the Sharing button and check the "Look for shared photos" box.
    On the Mac with the photos, open iPhoto, go to the preferences, click the Sharing button and check the "Share my photos" box.
    On the Mac receiving photos, look in iPhoto and you'll see the shared iPhoto library. Click on the icon, select all the photos or albums you wish to copy, and just drag them into iPhoto. The photos will copy and even look for duplicates.

  • How to view iPhoto photos from WDTV live

    I use WDTV Live and would ideally like to be able to use it to view pictures via streaming from iPhoto on my MBP.  Is this possible, and if so, how do I do it?
    Thanks

    I doubt it unless it understands the sturcture of the iPhoto library - a good source of support might be http://wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=330
    It sounds like you can export photos and then stream them

  • How can I move my iPhoto Library from one Mac to another without losing the comments on the individual photos in the process?

    How can I move my iPhoto Library from one Mac to another without losing the comments on the individual photos in the process? The source Macbook (OS 10.4.11 and iPhoto 6.0.6 (3.2.2.)) is with my husband in Germany, the target MacBook Pro (OS 10.8.5, iPhoto 11) is with me in Japan. Thanks for your help.

    I copied the iPhoto Library to a CD and from there to the new MacBook
    If you copied the library to the CD via the Finder it would be no different than the methods Terence suggested.  If you used the Share ➙ Burn menu option from inside iDVD you'll get a mini library that has to be accessed from the open library and the events/alubums copied into the destination library.  Not the same as the other methods.
    The Share ➙ Burn method is no longer supported with iPhoto 9 and later.

  • How to export a photo album from my iphone that was previously imported from another mac?

    Again, I'd like to export a photo album from my iphone to my mac. What is unique here is that the album was originally imported from another mac to my iphone. When I open iphoto on my mac it will import everything else but this particular album. It's from my old iphone that crashed but I was lucky enough to export the pics from my old phone to another mac and then import them to my new iphone. Great as that is, I'd still like to export them to my mac. HELP, thoughts, ideas

    Sync it to your new computer.
    Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want, sync.

  • I have deleted my photos but have icloud. when i log into icloud it doesnt give me an option to view these photos at all. my photo stream is only showing photos from another iphone in the house. i am unsure if i do a restore from back up if this will work

    I have deleted my photos but have icloud. when i log into icloud it doesnt give me an option to view these photos at all. my photo stream is only showing photos from another iphone in the house. i am unsure if i do a restore from back up if this will work. i really dont want to lose these photos but i am very unsure of what to do to resolve. can anyone please help?
    thank you

    If you had Photo Stream enabled with your iCloud account settings on the iPhone, photos in the Camera Roll should have been transferred to your photo steam automatically when the iPhone was connected to an available wi-fi network.
    Your photo stream is not available when logging in with your iCloud account with a browser on a computer.
    Why were the photos in the Camera Roll deleted?
    Photos/videos in the camera roll are included with your iPhones backup. If your iPhone's backup has not been updated since the photos were deleted from the camera roll, you can try restoring your iPhone from the backup.

    I successfully synched photos from my mac book iphoto to my new iphone 5 (icloud did not do the job).  Now these photos appear on my phone in three places--iphoto app, last import, and photo library.  Does that mean that they take up three times the memory?  Will that affect iCloud?  Sorry for the end-user questions!!

    HHi, thank you for the reply. I have checked my iPad and iPhone and neither has iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled. Turned off in both. Photostream is turned on.
    i tried to sort it out  by dragging all the photos to Events on the Mac and then deleting them from iCloud - (left hand side of iPhoto under the section 'Shared'). the photos now show up in Events. I did force quit but the issue remains. The message reads ' photos are bing imported to the library. Please wait for import to complete.'
    i can't empty iPhoto trash either. The message read "Delete error. Please wait for import to complete.'
    WHen I was moving the photos to the Events I always had a message about duplicates - to the effect that the photos already existed, did I want to import them? I clicked on Yes, import all duplicates. But when it showed the images - duplicates side by side - one showed the photo and the other was blank.
    I really don't know what to do! And I don't know how to handle my iOS devices. Is it to do with the large number of photos? Any help, advice appreciated.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Yes there is. Connect the two machines together usinf a Firewire or ethernet cable, and copy the iPhoto Library Folder from the Pictures Folder on the old machine to same location on the new one. Then, Download BatchMod from
    http://macchampion.com/arbysoft/
    And apply it to the iPhoto Library Folder using the settings found here:

  • Photos from one mac, songs from another

    is it possible to sync (not just stream) photos from one mac (aperture), and songs/video from another (itunes) to the same AppleTV? thanks

    that's unfortunate
    so is there anywhere to fake this out by linking itunes libraries together on the macs so ATV only has to sync to one? ie. have one library reference another library or something like that?
    my basic requirement is that i have the photos on one mac and all the music/video etc on the other mac, but everything goes to the same ATV.
    thanks

  • In one of my iPhoto 'event' files other photos from another event seem to have doubled up over a different photo!!!!!

    In one of my iPhoto 'event' files  (named Thailand) other photos from another event (named Filey) seem to have doubled in the Thailand event, but when I click on the image  (from filey) it shows the Thailand image!!!!!
    I hope this is understandable

    What is your iPhoto version and your MacOS X version on your MacBook Pro? It looks like the thumbnails of your photos were wrong. Make a backup copy of your iPhoto library and try to rebuild the thumbnails. in iPhoto '11 try this:
    Launch iPhoto with the key combination⌥⌘  (alt/option-command) held down and select "rebuild thumbnails" from the panel.

    Use iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  or select s and export (file menu ==> export) to a desk top folder - see Exporting From iPhoto for details on export options - move that folder to the other Mac and import to iPhoto there

  • How do I copy photos from my Mac to my iPad without deleting the ones that are there?

    I understand how to sync photos from my iPhoto library to my iPad. I want to copy photos from my Mac to the iPad without syncing, because syncing deletes everything on the iPad that isn't included in my sync selections. In addition,I have several iPhoto libraries and want to copy photos from each of them to the iPad. A further issue is that apparently photos can be synced from only one computer to the iPad -- how would I copy photos from a different computer? (What happens when I buy a new Mac?) I am extremely experienced with Mac, iPhoto/Aperture, iPad, etc. A year or two ago I transferred 1000 photos to the iPad but I don't remember how, and it was probably done with my previous Mac. Now I just want to add some recent photos without deleting the ones that are there. Bottom line: is there a way to add photos to an iPad without syncing and losing what's there?

    You can still sync the photos and keep the photos that are already on the device. You have to include all of the albums or events in the pictures folder that you sync from. If you are using iPhoto, select that in the Sync Photos from drop down menu and then select all of the albums or events that you want to sync. Make sure to check Selected Albums, events, faces and automatically include (no events). Using that option will allow you to choose exactly which albums and events to sync.
    You have to remember that all photos must be included in every sync so you cannot sync photos from iPhoto today and then try to sync photos from another folder tomorrow, or you will erase all of the photos that were synced from iPhoto. You need to maintain one main Photos syncing folder for the photos that you want to transfer to the iPad. You can have subfolders within that one main folder and you can selectively sync those subfolders. You just have to place all of the photos that you want to sync into one main iPad syncing photos folder.
    There are WiFi transfer apps that allow you to transfer photos to the iPad without having to sync with iTunes. I use this one. This app (and others like it) will allow you to use multiple computers to transfer photos.
