What is the easiest way to transfer photos in PSE V7 (old PC) to PSEV9 (new PC)?

I have 1 catalogue, about 9 GB using XP in the old PC) & Win7 (new PC).  I mainly want to keep stacks in place (I do not use tags).  My largest USB is 4 GB so copy/move cannot be used and am uncertain about moving (vs copying) in case something goes wrong. As explained in the documentation,  I looked at Backup and Restore and the message said the pictures had been moved.  I would prefer to do the tranfer in segments.
Thank you
George

Connect your two computers together, either across a network or with a cable (or a wireless connection).
Or,
Remove the hard drive from your old computer and purchase a USB connection kit so you can attach the hard drive as an external drive to your new computer.
If you also copy the actual photos to same named paths\directories on your new computer, Organizer should be able to "reconnect" to the photos relatively painlessly, although it might take a long time for a 9 GB catalog's worth of photos....

  • What is the best way to transfer my date from my old iMac to my new iMac?

    what is the best way to transfer my date from my old iMac to my new iMac? I don't have a time capsule, so I cannot use time machine.
    thanks

    Your best bet by far is to use Setup Assistant when the new Mac first starts up to transfer directly from the old one. 
    It's similar to Migration Assistant, but doing it that way will avoid having an extra user account.
    Either way, you can connect them via FireWire, Thunderbolt, or your network, but avoid wireless if at all possible.  You can connect both to your netwrork via Ethernet, or put a single cable between the two. 
    See Using Setup Assistant on Mountain Lion or Lion for details.

  • What is the easiest way to transfer photos to a SD card

    I have one of those electronic picture frames that use a sd card.  What is the easiest way to transfer an album to the SD card?  How do I know when the album is too large for the SD card?  Last time it tried this it took forever.  I was told after about several minutes that the card was full.  thanks for the help.

    Select the photos you want and export them them to a desktop folder setting the ,aximum dimension the size the frame wants - then drag that folder to the SD card - you can check the size of the folder prior to copyings it to be sure it will fit

  • What's the easiest way to transfer photos from PC to ipad?  I've tried using itunes, but adding more photos erases photos already loaded.  Help!

    How to transfer photos from PC to ipad without erasing photos already loaded.  The only option I find in itunes is to synch, which only transfers into one album on the ipad.  I'm sure I'm just missing an easy step.  Transferring photos from PC to android is a snap, can't be this hard with ipad.

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • What's the easiest way to transfer 60GB of pics from old mac to new mac

    I just got an awesome 24" iMac and want to permanently move 60GB of pics on my older MacBook Pro to my new iMac. I have iPhoto '08 on both computers. Do I just hook up the 2 computers via FireWire and import from within iPhoto on the new computer or is there something else I should do or look out for. Thanks

    use the migration assistant, if it's a brand new mac, it will transfer everyting from your old mac to your new mac.
    When I said everything, it's everything, your favorite in safari, your music, your email account, your internet connection setup and of course all your photo library.
    Migration assistant is in Application - utilities then choose migration assistant. You need to plug both computer together via a firewire cable.
    If you just want to tranfer the 60gb of photo you can just restart your old computer by pressing T and this will put your computer in target mode (you will see a big firewire logo moving on the screen. But make sure before you restart your computer and pressing the T, make sre both computer are plug together with a firewire cable.
    Then, the hard drive of the old computer will mount on the desktop of the new mac and you can copy your file, like any external hard drive

    That is exactly what I've been doing.

    I had hoped there was an easier - or at least more direct and simpler way.
    Thanks anyway.

  • What is the easiest way to send photos from my PC to my Ipad?

    What is the easiest way to send photos from my PC (Windows 7, Live photo gallery)_ to my Ipad2

    I would use DropBox if you want to transfer your whole photo library.  The iPad is set up to make it very difficult to transfer content off of it.  This is to protect copyrighted materials and prevent file sharing.
    Make sure you have the latest copy of DropBox on your iPad and it will automatically upload all your photos and videos to the Camera Uploads folder on DropBox.  Keep in mind this may take a long time to get them all uploaded, especially if you have a lot of videos and a slow WiFi connection.  It won't work over 3G / 4G must be a Wifi connection.  Once they are uploaded to Dropbox it is simply a matter of then downloading them to the place you want to download them to.

  • I have a mid year 2007 24 inch iMac and will be purchasing a new 27 inch Retina iMac, what is the easiest way to transfer the data and files from my old machine to the new one?

    I have a mid year 2007 24 inch iMac and will be purchasing a new 27 inch Retina iMac, what is the easiest way to transfer the data and files from my old machine to the new one?

    Following up on this thread,
    I have a new iMac on the way and my current is from 2008, never had a problem but I am sure there are internal issues that I would prefer not to transfer.
    I have no issues other then the slowness in certain programs and that is the main reason to buy a new one.
    Programs like numbers and pages seem to take a longer time to open after I update to Yosemite.
    I only use 272GB of 500 GB, my memory is 4GB and I am upgrading to 8Gb and bought the 4.0 processor.
    Question:
    Is there a way to manually transfer items or would that be a waste of time in that if there are issues they could be anywhere and would transfer anyway?

  • What is the easiest way to transfer a large imovie project from one computer to another in a different location.

    What is the easiest way to transfer an faairly large HD imovie project from one computer to another in a different location. Can you export to drop box? Will the other computer need the exact imovie version?

    OK it depends.
    If you have a finished movie, you can SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE and create your final movie. Then, depending on the size of the finished movie, you can transfer via dropbox or similar service. Ninety minutes is a very long movie for iMovie, but it may work for you. I would suggest 720P to keep the size down.
    If you need to transfer the entire iMovie Project so it can be edited in iMovie at the other end, then you need to transfer the project and event assets to an external hard drive and get the hard drive to the other location.
    Directions are here. Follow the directions for 1) Moving or copying Project to external drive. Then 2) Consolidate Media.

    With supervised ipads, what is the best way to transfer photos and videos to the PC? Wireless transfer is not an option in our circumstances.

    There are only two ways of transfering things on the iPad.
      - via WiFi
      - via usb cable
    From what I have read, you need to connect to iTunes on the supervising PC.

  • What is the best way to transfer photos from old laptop to new laptop?

    What is the best way to transfer photos from old Macbook Pro to new Macbook Pro?

    If you only need to transfer photos, connect the two Macs to the same network. Enable file sharing on both, and copy the iPhoto folder from your old Mac to the new one. Put it in your Pictures folder. This assumes you have no photos on your new MacBook Pro you wish to keep. If you do then let me know.
    The first time you launch the new version of iPhoto with a Library created by an older version, it will most likely want to "upgrade your iPhoto Library". This is normal.
