Which OS and software should I buy to  merge photos

I read several discussions regarding to the merge/combine iPhoto library but still not sure the right step to do because my computer and software is quite outdated  I have
1.  IMAC Processor  3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo OS X Lion 10.7.5 iPhoto 7.1.5 with  20,000+ photos and 2000 + movies. and
2. Macbook air  1.3 GHz Intel Corei5 OS X 10.9.5  iphoto 9.4.3with 7,000+photos
i would like to merge the photos from Macbookair to IMAC and update iphoto in IMAC to the version that can play vdo (currently i have to see vdo from i movie). some pictures are the same in both computers,
please help recommend
1 do I have to update my operating system first which OS do you recommend
2. what software should I buy i.e. aperture, iphoto library manager( i saw this name from one of the discussion).
it would be nice if you could advise a step by step to me as Im not good at computer
Thank you very much in advance

If you have Aperture 3.3 or later and iPhoto 9.3 or later you can merge libraries with Aperture.
Otherwise the only way to merge Libraries is with the paid ($30) version of iPhoto Library Manager
As a: Aperture is more expensive and b: it's no longer developed, Library Manager is a better buy for your usage.
I would ask on the iMac forum about the best OS for that machine. Once you know that you'll be able to choose a version of iPhoto appropriate.

  • Which anti virus software should i buy

    i'm wondering which one others have bought that works well for my new macbook pro

    You don't need anti-virus for Mac's, been 20 something years since the last virus, and that was before the Internet
    Most anti-malware installs itself deep into the OS and causes problems, you don't need that. OS X isn't that insecure yet.
    Now anyone can get "Trojaned" or fooled into installing something, no anti-virus can really defend against that.
    At this time, perhaps all you need is a free, run as you need, malware checker for Windows malware on files before sending them onto PC users.
    The free ClamXAv is good enough for that.

  • I am putting together a proposal for a Final Cut Pro Workstation to use with a tapeless HD camera.  Can anyone suggest the best camera (in the 5-10,000 dollar range) ?  What hardware and software should I include in the package?

    I am putting together a proposal for a Final Cut Pro Workstation to use with a tapeless HD camera.  Can anyone suggest the best camera (in the 5-10,000 dollar range) ?  What hardware and software should I include in the package?

    This is quite an open suggestion, but here are some ideas which might get you started.  There are good HD cameras in your price range from Sony, Panasonic and Canon (and maybe other manufacturers). Tapeless formats vary.  I have only worked with Sony XDCAM which seems pretty good to me.  File sizes for material shot at 35MBS are not too huge and, with the free Sony transfer and conversion programme, are easy to bring into the computer via USB direct from the camera or from a fairly inexpensive converter.  The Sony XDCAM EX3 can produce results well up to broadcast quality.
    As to hardware, you'll need a powerful MAC - iMac, Macbook Pro or MacPro with 4GB or more of RAM and a good video card.  Softwarewise, FCPX is quite a bit cheaper than FC Studio 3 and of course it's 64bit and can make better use of multi-core machines than FCP7.    It's also designed to handle HD formats with less hassle than FCP7 and is matched to the latest versions of Motion and Compressor.   But you'd probably be wise to search reviews of FCPX before you make your choice - it has some issues.
    A good HD monitor will be essential and, for colour correction etc, you may want to consider a second monitor or HD TV foe editing. ( A MacPro is generally the best machine to connect a second monitor to). 
    This should give you a good editing system, but there are many other things you could add (Photoshop, professional sound monitors, etc)
    Hope this helps a bit.

  • Which kind of software should I use?

     This morning, my Windows operating system suddenly crashed and can not boot normally. So, I tried to restart computer through
    restoring Windows with Ghost. However, after restoring Windows operating system, I found all non-system partitions are lost because of mistaken operations. I want to recover lost partitions.
    Which kind of software should I use?

    generally, different methods should be adopted in different situations. If users have made backup, they can restore lost
    partitions with the help of partition backup. Nevertheless, since many Windows users are not used to backing up common partitions,
    they should select partition recovery software if they want to recover lost partitions easily and safely. However, there
    is a large amount of partition recovery software which has serious defects in function. Once we use this kind of partition recovery software to recover lost partitions, we are very likely to suffer Windows partition recovery failure. More seriously, lost partition
    may be damaged heavily, bringing great trouble. In order to help users avoid downloading partition recovery software which
    has serious defects, we suggest usingMiniTool Partition Recovery.

  • Which iPhone 6 model should I buy to be sure it will work in Europe (Croatia)? Is it A1586?

    Which iPhone 6 model should I buy in USA to be sure it will work in Europe (Croatia)? Is it A1586? When I return to Croatia, I'll use it on T-mobile network which has 3G, 4G and LTE band.

    Read the post properly and see what he actually said in the post:-
    His post actually said "The A1586 is the model sold IN AND FOR CROATIA."
    This is not the same as that model being available for sale in the USA and when you go to the US you cannot pick and choose which model you buy.  The iPhone is country specific and you will have to purchase the model that is available in the USA.
    The USA has CDMA and GSM iPhones, so when you go you would want to purchase the GSM phone and probably the T-Mobile Contract free phone as no unlocked phones are currently for sale in the US.
    If you purchase the T-Mobile Contract free phone in the US, then is should work when you return to Croatia, but it will not work on 4G/LTE because of frequency differences in the US.  The phone should work okay on 3G, but not 4G or LTE.
    Also, remember that if you purchase any phone in the US you will have no warranty cover on your return to Croatia - iPhone warranty is not international and is country specific, so if you have a problem with the phone, you are looking at flying back to the US to get the phone fixed.
    The phone will probably work in Croatia, but there is no guarantee of this and it will not work on the 4G LTE that is available there.

  • What hardware and software should I use to A/V record a piano recital?

    If anyone could help me, it would be much appreciated.
    Here are more details: I have a MacBook Pro, external FireWire hard drives, access to an HD video camera, and good mics. I'm not worried about the video part, but since this is a piano recital, I need the best possible audio quality, within reason. I was thinking about buying an "Alesis MultiMix 8 FireWire" mixer, and recording all 4 channels I'll need directly onto the computer. What software should I use? What about hardware? There won't be much audio editing afterwards, so I don't exactly need the best editor, just a solid way to record it. Also, how would I mix the audio in with the video to make sure it aligns up properly? Perhaps I should use Final Cut Pro for video and Soundtrack or Logic for recording audio? Thank you for any help you can give me!

    The crucial point in piano(any) recording is which microphones you use and where you put them.
    I generally have the best results with Schoeps "ORTF Stereo Microphone MSTC 64 U"
    http://www.schoeps.de/E-2004/ortf-stereo.html#mstc64
    They are pretty expensive so don't buy but rent (or borrow) them. It's not that much for one day.
    It's a general way to go for professional recording. Thus you'll always have the best equipement for the lowest cost. Also, the rental shop can be a good help in that they might give you hints for your specific need.
    Put the mics at about 1-3 meters from the half open piano(for a concert model). Never inside! Specially if it's piano solo. Distance depends on the hall's acoustics, instrument model, music style etc...
    I would record on the camcorder. Some of them have four audio tracks. The audio recorder, whatever audio card, DAT, camcorder ... MUST HAVE XLR inputs and phantom power. You should rent here also.
    These are the main points.

  • Which package of dreamweaver should I buy for my local scout association? Personal? smallbusiness? It's only user will be me

    Hello,
    I want to create a webpage for my local scout association, and I would like to use dreamweaver to do it.
    It's not something I will get paid for.
    But I can not figure out which package I need to buy.
    Because it is only me who will be using it, and therefore I thought it should be a personal license.
    But I am also a student at university college of northern, therefore I thought it should be a Student license.
    but maybe I'm wrong and it should be a license for a small business?
    Can anybody please explains to me which package I need to buy?
    In advance thank you for your time :-)
    //Lars

    if you can qualify as a student, getting a student license is less expensive (but more of a hassle to obtain because of documentation needed).
    otherwise, you would get a personal/individual license.

    MK.None. You don't need a reference manual yet; you need a book that actually teaches you something. So explain why you are learning Java at this point in your career and perhaps a more fitting book can be recommended to you.

  • Which drivers and software do I download?

    I was told I should only download drivers and software updates from the manufactures website.. which would be hp.. so I went to the software and drivers download page and after entering my product information it gave me a list of downloads which was 
    Driver - Audio (‏1)
    Driver - Graphics (‏2)
    Driver - Keyboard, Mouse and Input Devices (‏2)
    Driver - Network (‏3)
    Driver - Storage (‏1)
    BIOS (‏1)
    Diagnostic (‏1)
    Order Recovery Media - CD/DVD/USB (‏1)
    Software - Multimedia (‏5)
    Software - Solutions (‏1)
    Utility - Tools (‏3)
    So how do I know which ones I need or do I need to download all of them? I have a compaq cq58 and just want to make sure I keep my laptop up to date!

    Several ways to check if you have the version listed or an older version. For drivers use Device Manager.Right click each device,such as Audio, choose Properties.You can check the version of the driver and compare it to the description in the file on your software/driver page. Or just use the option on your sofware/driver page to let HP do a Scan to check your versions against what is new.

  • What Mac and Features should I buy for filmmaking?

    I'm going to be attending filmschool in the fall and I will be buying my first Mac(for use with final cut pro) What should I get with what features? Right now it seems like the Mac Pro is the only way to go. I want something profesional that I'll be able to use professionally after I graduate. I'll be making a bunch of shorts and a feature over the next 3 years with it. What processor speed, memory, hard drive(s), Graphics Card, Display, and other features should I order when customizing it? What should I buy seperately? (the monitor for example?) I don't want to spend more money than I have to, but I also don't want to sacrifice what I need for a cheaper price. Any suggestions? I'm looking for detailed recomendations of what setup I should get. Also does anyone know what I can use from my pc with it? Are my internal hard drives compatible with it? Oh, and I want to be able to run windows on it too, so I can run software that isn't mac compatible. Thanks for your help.

    Greetings,
    I'll be attending the MFA program in filmmaking at the New York Film Academy in LA. <</div>
    Way to go... good luck
    Ive heard that if I buy the monitors seperately that I should find two with 1920x1200 resolution, contrast ratio of at least 1000/1, and responce time of under 5 ms. <</div>
    I really can not agree with that. I think it's a bit of an overkill. I run 20" Cinema at 1680x1050 and 17" Studio at 1280x1024 and it works perfectly. I can not imagine that video work would require anything more. I remember people editing in FCP on iMac and 15"CRT without any problems...
    Also, is it a good idea to get two internals from apple and then an external for transfers, or should I just get the 250 gig and an external? How much space total will be a good place to start for school? <</div>
    Given the HD prices nowadays, you can always add more drives. External for transfer is a good idea. At least 160G. Internals you could easily add another 500G later. As you know, MacPro has for slots internaly. You can easily save some for later 250G to start and an external at least 160G, and than later you can add and RAID two more 500Gs as a scratch... the possibilities are endless...
    And how different from working with a pc is installing memory and other hardware on a mac? Pretty much the same? <</div>
    Extremely easy. You can add memory and drives within minutes. Just make sure you follow the directions (memory directions are even printed inside of the front panel) and discharge any electrical static from your body (a simple static discharge wristband is highly recommendable). When installing memory make sure to follow the recommended configurations for different sizes.
    Oh, and I might be a newb for asking this but whats a RAID, and what do I need to set it up? < </div>
    RAID = Redundant Array of Independent (Inexpensive) Drives/Disks
    Basically, it is combining multiple drives into a single unit, either in hardware or in software for the sake of gaining in speed and transfer OR data protection.
    Search the forum for RAID, and you will find many useful information.
    Best wishes,

  • Which macbook pro retina should i buy?

    Hello guys! Im really not sure which macbook should i buy:
    1) Maccbook pro retina early 2013 with 256gb/8gb/hd 4000 or
    2) Later 2013 macbook pro retina with 128gb/4gb/iris graphics.
    Im going to use it for photography and to edit videos, but nothing professional. And also for basic stuff that i need in university or even to play some games like simcity and the sims 3/4..
    What do u think guys?

    I see you are choosing from the refurbished units.  Good move.
    I would concentrate on RAM size, SSD size and of course price.  In my opinion those are bigger factors than the difference in GPUs.
    4 GB of RAM is sufficient of most programs but some applications do better in 8 GB.  You cannot upgrade RAM and memory demands are likely to grow over time.  So 8 GB is future proofing the system. 
    A big question is do you need 128 or 256 GB of SSD?  How much storage do you use now?  How much more are you likely to use (more music, photos, videos…)?  If this will be near 100 GB then I would opt for 256 GBs of SSD.  The SSDs are not upgradeable while under warranty.
    Refurbished, Feb-2013, 8 GB, 256 GB, Intel HD Graphics 4000: $1,230.  <<<- #1 In your list
    Refurbished, Oct-2013, 4 GB, 128 GB, Intel Iris Graphics: $1,100. <<<- #2 in your list
    For the difference of $170 I would choose the 8/256 GB model.
