What is best way to move pictures from laptop to EHD pse10

I have gotten differing views on the best way to move my pictures from my laptop (to free up space) to an EHD while keeping PSE10 on my computer. When I want to do something in PSE10 I would connect my EHD.
It has been suggested to follow the pse10 "back up" procedure but there are no directions on how to get the program to read the EHD after the back up is made (so pse10 can find my pictures on the EHD).
It has been suggested to do a "drag and drop" procedure but I have not been able to get step by step directions for this for pse10.
Can someone please assist me in this task with good directions. I am marginally literate in these things, probably enough to make a big mess if I tried this without consult.
If no one can answer this is there a next level that one can go to?
I have tried chat with Adobe help and they won't help me because I do not have the newest version of pse.

One more thing...
I have a MacBook pro that I'm using to connect to the thunderbolt drives. I believe I should be able to just connect my pc to the Mac via an Ethernet cable and network them, yes? Well, I tried that and could not get it to work. My pc never saw the new network.
You see, part of the problem actually has nothing to do with the transfer process at all. The movie comes with 12tb of footage files. That's ALL the footage shot during their 18 day schedule. However, only certain shots, about 4tb worth, made it into the final cut of the film, and the editor did not separate those shots out for me. So now, I am responsible for manually sifting through all the footage and copying over just the shots that made the final cut. I have a list of the shots needed, and I have an exfat formatted 500gb usb2 drive that so far is performing as well as out can, but it's an incredibly slow process that is compounded by the slow, usb2, copy speeds I'm currently getting.
Would a network connection handling such large amounts of transfers be faster than usb 2?
And also, I tried a free pc utility that allows my pc to read and write to Mac drives, but the transfer speed was so slow that I abandoned that strategy. Would Paragon have faster speeds?

Whats the best way to move files from a hard drive that wont boot?

I made a bootable USB disk and it appears to work fine. I can still read and open files on the old disk (admin account only) from the new USB drive the old one doesn't boot. I don't have a backup but would like to move files to the USB and then reformat the old drive.
Whats the best way to capture the data?
There are four user accounts on the old drive. Only one on the new drive so far. Do I need to set up four accounts on the new drive in order to copy data from each?

Time Machine is for making backups and restoring ones it previously created. It doesn't restore data backed up or copied in other ways. In your case, it's better to use a cloning utility or manually drag the files than it is to use Time Machine.

Paragon even has non-destriuctive conversion utility if you do want to change drive.
Hard to imagine using 3TB that isn't NTFS. Mac uses GPT for default partition type as well as HFS+

What is the best way to import pictures from Lightroom 5 into FCP X

What is the best way to transfer pictures from Lightroom 5 into Final Cut Pro X?

There is no one best way. If, for instance, you want to be able to zoom into the picture with a Ken Burns effect then you may want to save out a very high res version that will be larger than your video resolution. Just use Lightroom to export a jpg file wherever you want it. You could export it into the Events folder and then choose not to copy it when you import it within FCPx. You could import the picture into iPhoto and then access it directly from within FCPx. Those are two simple, "regular" ways to get it into FCPx but if you are not going to Ken Burns the image by zooming into it and such you will want to crop it in Lightroom to the same size you will be using ie if you are making 720HD video then crop the image to that size and proportion before you export it from Lightroom.

I'm trying to find a way to move pictures from Preview to iPhoto. Tried "rebuilding library"...nothing happens. Help!

I'm trying to find a way to move pictures from Preview to iPhoto. Tried "rebuilding library"...nothing happens. Pictures ssomehow wound up in Preview after I needed to do a clean install (Snow Leopard) and moved files from an external drive. Help!

If you saw the images with Preview in the other iPhoto Library, than try to open iPhoto with that Library:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2505
If the Photos are there, replace the iPhoto Library in your Pictures folder with the one from the external. (posted by Keith)
My response:
The pictures don't appear in Preview in the other user account. They also don't appear in the external drive (!!!????). I discovered I can get the pictures into iPhoto by saving from Preview to the desktop, then importing into iPhoto, but only one at a time.
Clearly the files are on the hard drive somewhere, but where? The 'iPhoto library" icon that appears in my Pictures folder is a "package" which can't be opened on it's own....it's only able to be imported into Preview.
This feels like the Twilight Zone to me.....

What is the best way to import pictures from iPhoto without compression?

I'm trying to create a slide show using Final Cut Pro. No, I'm not interested in using iDVD slide show function because it doesn't allow me to do a whole lot. I would like to add titles and music for certain segments with video inserted here and there.
Anyway, when I used the slide show function in iPhoto, exported it out as a quick movie file, and then imported it into Final Cut Pro, I noticed a significant downgrade in quality of images. It obviously looks different from when I play the slide show in iPhoto. What would be the best way to import pictures into Final Cut Pro without any compression?
Thanks in advance.

I only see Share > Export.
Some versions of iPhoto work that way -it's just Apple moving things around.
what's the difference between exporting it from iPhoto then import it into FCP vs. just importing directly from FCP?
Your first post mentioned exporting a slide show from iPhoto -I assumed that is where your images are stored.
I do not want to import pictures one by one...
You don't have to. iPhoto will let you select as many as you want, or if the images are elsewhere, you can also select multiple files from FCP's Import dialog.
...and stick them together manually.
Editing is an art and involves some effort on your part. It is not an automated process. This method opens up far more possibilities, access to filters and color correction and the opportunity to use Motion for even more sophisticated animation.
But, it only allows me to export it as 720 x 480. The original size of my photos is 3872 x 2592. Is there any way I can create a quicktime file in the original size?
You should be aware that 3872 x 2592 is not a standard pixel aspect ratio that is used in video. The images will be resized to the Sequence settings that you set up in Final Cut Pro.
I have never used iPhoto to make a slideshow before, but I just gave it a try and was able to export one with the images in their native size, simply by typing the pixel dimensions into the boxes in the dialog window:
I don't have PhotoMagico myself, but it comes highly recommended by several of the forum regulars.
Perhaps one of them will see this discussion and help with your last question.

What's the best way to move files from my old G3 to my new Intel DuoCore?

I just received my new Intel DuoCore 17" iMac. For years I have been using a much-loved G3 500 mHz iMac. The new Intel iMac is still in the box, but I believe it shipped with OS 10.4.4. The G3 runs 10.2.6. I have a dial-up connection to the Internet; currently DSL is not available in my neighborhood. What is the best way to move my files from the G3 to the Intel dc? Can I simply connect them with an Ethernet cable and transfer files directly? Or is my best bet to simply save the files I want to transfer to a disc and do it the old-fashioned way? Please forgive me in advance for my ignorance; although I have been a Mac user and supporter for many years, I am astonishingly ignorant when it comes to the best way to using both Mac hardward and software.
iMac Intel DuoCore Mac OS X (10.4.4)

There are two issues - 1. Getting the files moved over, and 2. Being able to open them on the Intel iMac.
1. This can be technically easy if you are willing to spend the time. I moved all my stuff from my old Mac to my new one by hooking the two together with an ethernet cable, directly. You would need both machines to have appropriate IP addresses. (go to the network preferences and pull down the built-in ethernet panel.) Some addresses such as 192.168.1.100 and 192.168.1.101 would work with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0) Now go to the new iMac and make sure the finder is selected (click on the desktop) and under the "GO" menu select "Connect to Server". You will need to put in the IP address of the old machine, and later it's administrative password. Then select its hard drive from the list (possibly only one choice) and it should appear as an icon on your iMac desktop. You can open this like any other drive and just drag items to the new iMac.
2. Whether you can use all the files moved over from the old G3 is difficult to answer. You may be using Classic mode sometimes on the G3 and have some stuff created with a Classic application. You are probably aware that the new Intel iMac does not support Classic mode, so some of these files may not be useable without a bit of work (or at all, perhaps.) For instance I had to purchase Appleworks to handle some of my old Clarisworks documents because Pages couldn't understand them. Once I had them converted to Appleworks documents, I could then convert them again to Pages documents.
I had some old MacDraw Pro documents that were equally problematic.
I would advise you to get the new iMac out of the box and connected to your dialup internet connection first. Do all the software updates until running software updater says there is nothing new. Then you will be at 10.4.7 with all the latest security and fixes etc. Then disconnect from the internet and use an ethernet cable to get the stuff off the old computer.
There will be lots more to do such as moving your mail, address box entries etc. later, but this is a start.

What is the best way to move data from one array to another

I'm going to be moving data from one array to a larger array on the same RAID but different controller. (I have some extra extra drives I'm also going to be installing Retrospect so I can't just restore from a backup.)
The RAID has 450GB of production files, fonts etc.
What is the best way to move the data over?
I saw that someone had suggested using ditto. Would that be better than MacMV?
I also own Bru LE so I could use that.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul

Ditto is a great option -- probably the best.

What's the best way to move files from my 2012 iMac to my 2014 MBP?

What’s a good way to move files from my 2012 iMac to my MBP?
I prefer to do graphic work on my 21-inch iMac (2012 version). But when I travel I need to copy files to my 2014 MBP. I learned that my 2012 iMac is too old for use of AirDrop, so I’m copying and moving files with a flash drive. That seems slow and clumsy. Is there a better way?

Target Disk Mode would provide a direct connection between the two Macs:

What's the best way to print pictures from my iPhone?

I have a lot of pictures on my iPhone 3G and iPhone 4S and a few on my iPad 2 and they're taking up a lot of space, what's the best way for me to print them out?

Import them to your computer and use your computer's photo app to print them. Once they have been imported, you can delete them from your phone.

What is the best way to download pictures from 5D Mark II to MacBook Pro

when i transfer my pictures from 5D Mark II camera to MacBook Pro IPhoto, the older photos that are already on computer are put on again even though I on click selected photos

Do you delete the pictures from the SD card after you copy them to the Mac?
I use Aperture (and not iPhoto), and the default there is to import everything that is on the SD card, so you'd have to pick individual pictures instead of the entire card/folder. I would assume the iPhoto would exhibit the same behavior.

Best way to move data from page to page inside app

Hi all I started writing this and it got way to complicated to explain in full without a novel.
Breif description. I am using query string that starts in the parent window (from href in json file) it then has to be moved into the iframe url when moving to other pages to avoid security as page and iframe are conflicting http and https. and cannot be accessed.. it seems there must be a better way.
So my question is what is the best way in open platform to move data from one page to another?

Hi Liam
Small data just a webapp ID and I am using the URL. But if you pass a ID say from Json ie "href":"/Admin/AppLoader.aspx?client_id=dev-name&ID=111111" it gets passed to the page url. This can be referenced using document.referrer initially. As the app is inside another frame and url that is https there is security issue using parent.location between https and http. Fine but then if you move to a new page referrer is no longer as there is no real referrer and you have to use location but you cannot. Now the work around is to pass the value from the page url to the app url at the start. and then you get around http https security issue when using parent.location but this seems convoluted and like a work around. Is this really the only way or the best way or a bad way. without using other ways that seem over kill for 6 odd characters.
