What is the best way to get all my photos from my G4 to my iMac.

The export feature does not grab the originals and does not export the movie clips. Yet I don't want to just paste the old library folder to my new machine because the old library had gotten corrupted at one time and I don't want to risk that.

Well first of all I did have a corrupt library on my G4. I followed instructions that someone gave me and created a new library and it's performing OK although some of the dates are not correct.
Don't worry about the dates you can correct them in iPhoto 08.
I still have the corrupted library on my G4's hard drive. I left it there in case I did not get all of my 5500 pics.
But did you get all the pics? That's really a Yes or No question. If it's Yes, then we can rule this library out of the confusion.
So I would like to possibly repair the old one and add the pics from the new library to it that I've taken since a year ago.
Huh? You have a working new library with (we hope) all the pics from the damaged one and yet you want to go backwards to the old one, repair it and then add the pics you've taken since? Is there a reason you want to do this?
I also bought a imac 24 intel and I wanted to get all my pics onto it without bringing any corruptions with the pics.
Okay, but you have a good working library with all the old pics and the new pics. So move that to the new machine. I don't understand the issue?
So there is a good bit going on. It's kind of confusing what with upgrading and exporting and importing and backing up and duplicates etc. It would not be that hard if I had 500 pics from a year or 2.
Okay, well here's a tip. Forget about updating the g4, either iPhoto or the operating System. Just focus on getting all your photos into the new machine. Then worry about that.

  • I just bought a new Macbook. What's the best way to transfer all my info from the old one?

    Hey everyone! I just got my new retina display Macbook Pro, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to transfer all my music/photos/files/data/etc. from my old Mackbook Pro. I have a 1TB external drive and an 8GB flash drive that I can use if I need to. Any sugestions? Thanks!

    What i did with mine, I cloned the drive of my old macbook to my external drive using carbon copy cloner.
    Once i was done with the clone - i used migration assistant to transfer my apps/data/pictures/files over my new macbook....
    when using migration assistant - do not transfer your old settngs and if you're doing an app transfer, only transfer the ones you need and that you know will work with your Retina...
    good luck..

  • What's the best way to transfer just my photos from my MacPro(10.6.8) to my new 27inch retina display iMac

    I have just purchased a new 27inch IMac and am cleaning out files etc from my MacBook Pro (circa 2010) with 10.6.8 OS. But the photos I want to keep in tact. Whats the best way to upload the photos onto the IMac - using time machine? or drag them over album by album?

    I assume you have a home network. Connect both computers to your network. If possible do this using Ethernet for faster speed and better reliability. Configure your MBP for File Sharing. Use a copy program such as Carbon Copy Cloner 4.0.2 to transfer your entire folder of photos to your new machine.

  • What is the best way to extract all my information from my macbook pro?

    i wanna extract all my info, put it into an external hard drive and erase it from my mac.

    If you plan on buying a apple laptop you have two options. You can use time machine or pull the data off of it directly and put it onto the external. I advise the second choice. This way you do not have stuff that you dont need filling up the space on your new drive. Get your applications, music, documents, photos, videos and perhaps downloads and desktop; Put all of these on your external. And then reinstall osx onto your drive.
    *** If buying a windows machine next check the format of the drive in disk utility. You will need a program called Paragon NTFS to format the drive window compatibility. You have to pay for the free version but can download a trail version for free.

  • What is the best way to get a single bookmark from my Laptop to iPhone?

    Also, is there specific HTML formatting that makes it easy for iPhone to pick a telephone number out of a web page?

    Hi Bill,
    If you sync your bookmarks then the one you want will be on your iPhone. If you don't sync your bookmarks I would imagine you would have to enter it in the web browser on your phone and then add it to your bookmarks right on the phone.
    I don't know about the HTML, but quite frequently if you click on a phone number on a web page, the phone will ask you if you if you want to call it. If you do, then you can add it to your contacts.

  • HT1349 I lost/had my iPhone stolen. Tried using Find My iPhone and it's offline. It was set up. What do I do now? Do I report it stolen? What is the best way in getting back my iPhone if any? Thank you in advance.

    Tried using Find My iPhone and it's offline. It (Find my iPhone) was set up. What do I do now? Do I report it stolen? What is the best way in getting back my iPhone if any? Thank you in advance.

    Find My iPhone is good for misplaced iPhone but not good for thief and it was never meant to be.
    You chance of getting it back is very small.
    There are a few things you can try.
    Try remote lock/wipe your iPhone through Find My iPhone.

    You can report to the police, cell carrier (expensive cell charges for international calls, roaming etc)

  • I recently added my old mac hard drive to a new macbook with an SSD as my main OSX drive.  I am having trouble with permissions in viewing my old hard drive.  What is the best way to get complete access to my old hd installed in my new Macbook?

    I recently added my old mac hard drive to a new macbook with an SSD as my main OSX drive. I am having trouble with permissions in viewing my old hard drive, when I save a permission when I reboot the full access is changed again .  What is the best way to get complete access to my old hd installed in my new Macbook?

    Open the Get Info window for the old drive. Click the Lock icon on the bottom of that window and type in your password. In the permissions area click the Plus sign ( + ) and Add your Username to it and set it to Read & Write. Close that window. you should now have full access to all the files.

  • Iphone 4s coming friday, what is the best way to get the notes content from iphone 4 to 4s without doing a restore? i want the new phone to be totally new but not sure how to get notes content across.

    What is the best way to get the notes content from iphone 4 to 4s without doing a restore? i want the new phone to be totally new but not sure how to get notes content across. If I do a restore as I have when previously from one iphone to another it has shown (in settings, usage) the cumulative usage from previous phones so all the hours of calls on all previous iphones will be displayed even though its brand new. Anyone know how I can get my notes (from standard iphone notes app) to my new iphone 4s without restoring from previous iphone 4. Thanks for any help offered.

    First, if you haven't updated to iTunes 10.5, please update now as you will need it for the iPhone 4S and iOS 5.
    Once you're done installing iTunes 10.5, open it. Connect your iPhone to iTunes using the USB cable. Once your iPhone pops up right click on it. For example: an iPhone will appear and it will say "Ryan's iPhone."
    Right click on it and select "Backup" from the dropdown menu. It will start backing up. This should backup your notes.
    Please tell me if you have any problems with backing up.
    Once you backup and get your iPhone 4S, you must follow these steps. If you don't follow these steps, you will not be able to get your notes on your new iPhone 4S.
    Open up iTunes again then right click on your device (iPhone 4S). Once you do you will see a dropdown menu. It will say "Restore from Backup..." Select this and it'll ask for a backup, select it from the dropdown menu. For example "Ryan's iPhone - October 12, 2011." Pick that and it will restore to your backup. Do this when you get your iPhone 4S so you will not lose anything. Even though you're restoring, you're getting back, since you're getting the previous settings, notes, contacts, mail and other settings from your old iPhone. You'll still have Siri though! So, restore when you first get it. Also frequently backup your device, as it will be worth it. You can restore from a backup if something goes wrong or save your data for a future update.
    Once you do that, you should have your notes on your new iPhone 4S and iOS 5.
    Please tell me if you need any help.
    I hoped I answered your questions and solved your problem!

  • What is the best way to get rid of unwanted footage permanently

    I have to shot for the bin on some projects working without a script. I then can be under considerable time pressure to get something out so don't have time to to review properly during the log and transfer process as I might have multiple projects going on. What is the best way to get rid of the useless footage for good. An example is in iMovie you can mark footage as trash and then empty the trash and it trims the original clip for good, very good for saving hard drive space on the move.
    Any ideas how to d this in FCP????
    Have thought about the whole media manger thing but must admit to ignoring this aspect so far. Do it by moving selected clips in a project in media manager????
    Have googled this to death... Thanks for all your time.

    Yep,
    Media Manager is the way to go.
    Read the manual aout it.
    It is all explained in there.

    Do you have the receipt? If you have proof of ownership, you _may_ be able to persuade Customer Support to help you out.  I imagine you would need to scan and email that proof if it works at all.
