• Move from Mac to PC/Windows 7: How can I move my iPhoto library on PowerPC Mac to a Windows 7 PC?

  I'm a Mac... soon to a PC?  My Apple iBook G4 is in need of a replacement, and I think to move to a Windows 7 laptop.  There is virtually no information online about the passage of a Mac to PC.  Given all the ads of MSFT, I expected more help.

  My main concern is transfer my photos easily without having to reorganize everything.  I currently use iPhoto and there is no version for the PC.  I'd appreciate any help advice with this process.  Is there a good program similar to iPhoto, which is recommended?

  More tips or advice on failover in general would be also greatly appreciated.

  After importation, Windows Live Photo Gallery will recognize the organizational structure that iPhoto had or will I have to create new folders and spend time re-organizing?

  Unfortunately, you will need to spend some time of reorganization. If you have metadata attached to photos, Windows Live Photo Gallery will recognize it. If you have currently organized in folders in OS X, it will make the organization process much easier to copy them into the images folder in Windows 7 and they will be automatically entered in the photo library.

• How can I move from iPhoto to Lightroom 4 11'

  Hello

  I'm looking to start using Lightroom 4 my primary photo editing and management software and was hoping someone can give me a good idea on how to transfer all my images and import them into Lightroom from iPhoto 2011 (I have about 8 000). My biggest concern is not duplicate my files. I don't have an external hard drive so they will remain on my intern. I did not really any changes of my images with iPhoto, so I am not really concerned by the loss of these changes. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I searched the net and found really good solutions or advice. Thank you!

  First thing I would do is to save your images. To do this, you will need to go to file > export. Here, the best option to do is choose 'gender' to be 'original '. This allows what you export to be in its original format. When you click Export, a new window will appear so you can chose your destination. As I said earlier, this will allow you to choose a folder that iPhoto will empty all your images in a without maintaining your current orginzation in regards to events, etc.. It's very well because this backup is just in case something goes seriously wrong. I prefer to use an external hard drive. You could make a folder on the internal drive, but this will create a copy of your images.

  Once your backup is complete. The second step is to get all the images in the iPhoto library while trying to keep everything in its current state. The easier and simpler way to proceed is to use Aperture 3. If you do not now, you can download the 30 day trial to be able to do. Its the safest method I found and interesting to use the trial just for that purpose. Even if you decide to buy it later, or even remove the trial version, the photos will be where you move and opening can always refer to them. The first step of this opening technique is to import your iPhoto library in Aperture. You have several options on how to proceed in this way. Fortunately, opening will reflect your iPhoto library in its structure (events, etc.). Whe Aperture is open, click file > import > then select iPhoto library. A dialog box opens and the iPhoto library is highlighted. In this box, you have the option to choose where you want to store the files. By default, 'in their cuurent location' is selected. Leaving it selected, opening will leave in iPhoto Library and simply refer to them. You need to select is "in the Aperture library." This could take a while, but finally all of your iPhoto events will be transferred in to the opening, and you see in the sidebar appear under the projects & Albums in a folder called events, which is located in a folder called iPhoto library. Each "event" from iPhoto will become 'Projects' in Aperture 3 and will have a yellow icon beside the name of each event/project. (At this point, I don't know if the iPhoto library is deleted and moved, or if it's a copy of it. If we make a copy by iPhoto Library is still there, you can simply delete the iPhoto library and it will remove your photos that would now be double sort)

  The next step is to move the masters in Aperture. What this does is actually allows you to move your events of the bundled file Aperture, but with each event/project in its own folder, you do not have to rearrange thousands of images. In the Inspector on the left pane, you will see that you can open the iPhoto Library folder and see the events folder. Open the events folder and you will see a list of all the events/projects. This process is a bit of your time. Start by selecting your first event, and then click file > Masters to plan to move. When the dialog box opens, will give you the opportunity to choose where the folder will be moved. What you can do is select your username under Favorites, select a photo and put it in there (or create a new folder in the pictures). After selecting your destination, you want to chose the Format subfolder and select the name of the project. What this did that create a folder named after your project/event and put all the photos in this case in this new folder. You can see an example of name of file listed at the bottom for you. Once you have that together, you can select move the masters. Opening will move the pictures when you have selected, keeping them in their event/folder and keep a clean organization. You will notice that the move took place, a little tag icon in each image as bottom right, moved his stating that the images are now referenced in Aperture and not a managed master longer.

  We must continue to do this for each project/event, one at a time. Once you're done, you're done. All files will be organized in their respective folders in the location you have chosen. The beauty of it is that they are already referenced in Aperture, and if you want to continue using it, you don't have to do something else. You can leave it there and just keep adding to the opening you take more pictures. Second, you can now import into LR by selecting them where they are, by clicking Add in the LR import menu. Leaving them where they are and the references as well.

  If you want to add the images as well, go opening IPTC data and in the top menu bar, select metadata > write IPTC metadata to the master. You can do it before or after you reposition the masters. But I would before importing to LR.

  It is the method that I used and it was the most successful without losing any of my organization in iPhoto and do not duplicate one of the images. It seems a little complicated, but considering that apple gives you no choice of in iPhoto, it's the safest way to free yourself of their shit. The important thing to remember when referencing these images in Aperture or iPhoto is to never move any file once its in a folder on your site of photos and already referenced by the program. Later if you want to use iPhoto, you can simply import this kind of things once again, leaving in their location and their SEO in Aperture. Which has its limitations as well, but such is life in the world of apples. You have really no other choice.

  The two other options are to use these two programs: iPhoto2Disk (http://www.iphototodisk.com/index.html) or PhotoShare (http://code.google.com/p/phoshare/). The first, iPhoto2Disk cost 12.99 and is supposed to be able to let you export all from iPhoto in its current state. PhotoShare is free, but I haven't personally used it. I felt more record ranging from the road of opening just because I knew that Aperture communicates well with iPhoto and I can easily get aperture to what iPhoto should have been able to do in export.

  I hope this helps everyone!

• How can I move photos & video library?

  How can I move a few photos and some video clips from one library to another library?

  I created 2 libraries and want to better organize my photos and videos by moving a selection of photos and videos of the first library in my second library.

  How can I do this? Please helppppp

  Photos has no tool to move photos between libraries.

  Do it manually by exporting pictures of the first library with "file > export > export original unmodified" and then import export photos and videos of the other library.  After you have verified that they mattered much, remove them from the original library.

  Move photos between libraries is easier with PowerPhotos.  Check it out at PowerPhotos ( software of Fat Cat-PowerPhotos)

  There is a problem, however.  You cannot move, it publishes versions between librarues, so that the changes can be reversed.  The transfer will be frozen. You can move only the edited versions or original, or both, but not as a pair of the original and the version.

• How can I keep an iPhoto library, update on two Macs without copying the entire library every time?

  Sorry if this has been asked several times before, I looked but could not find an answer to my specific questions...

  Currently, I keep my iPhoto on two different Macs library by periodically copy the package to the main computer entire iPhoto library to an external hard drive, then loading into iPhoto on the second machine.

  The problem is that it takes a lot of time and I find myself doing less, which means that I am often without recent photos I want to join the second Mac. Is there a way to copy only the new pictures/videos added since the last copy was made on the hard drive, which I can then add to the library on the second machine without replacing the entire library?

  I was wondering if it was possible to use the software of incremental backup to backup on the external drive that I could then use to update the second mac. In this case would be that I have to replace the entire library on the second mac every time, but at least it would be a faster process that also copy entire library since the first mac in the first place.

  Or I can just select the most recent photos and videos in iPhoto and batch export via the external hard drive to the second mac? I think I read that this is not copy all information such as good changes? Or am I wrong?

  If none of this is possible in the way that I'm demanding, could someone suggest an alternative photo storage software for Mac that I can have more control on?

  Yes, you can use an incremental backup or clone (like Carbon Copy clone or SuperDuper) program for updating the second library - this will not libraries merge in order to not do that is you make changes to the second library on this machine - it only makes library 2 exactly as 1 library each time that you run

• How can I maintain the original size of the JPEG file when you import into Photoss?

  I noticed that when I use pictures to import images from the SD card in the camera, the images are substantially smaller than when I drag the same image directly from the SD card on the desktop. In general, a 3.6 Mb picture somehow diminishes to about 2.6 MB. I'm wrong and get frustrated to this drop in image quality!

  Any help / advice will be highly appreciated. Thank you

  In what circumstances you see this small size?

  Photos did a bit of copy bit when importing images in its library.  If you drag the thumbnail of an image on the desktop you bet that the preview version, which will have a small file size.

  Export the image on the desktop via the file export Export X Unmodified Originals ➙ ➙ menu option will give you the full size file that was imported into the library.

  Drag the thumbnail on the desktop will get you the original file.

  

• How can I move my iTunes Library to External Hard Drive?

  I googled cela but can't seem to find what I'm looking for...

  I want to leave my iTunes library in all my Windows PC for a hard drive external and I want to keep it there because it does not fit on my new Macbook Air. I'm happy to plug every time that I would use my iTunes library.

  I found the instructions step by step online, but I would like to know what happens if you never had the option "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" checked. This way only future additions will be copied in my folder or it will copy all my previous music? I took a peek in the folder and my latest addition isn't here so I guess that it copies only future additions to the library. Is this correct?

  If so, how to get all my music in one folder so I can copy it to my hard drive? (Yes, I confess that my music seems to be scattered in my PC)

• How can I move my library iPhoto for WD My Cloud?

  I have a MBP 2011 OSx 10.9.5 running with a 320 GB hard drive which is full (only 4.5 GB of free space remaining).  I'm not being updated lately b/c I don't have disk space to do so.  I have an iPhoto library 164GB I want to spend.  I backed up the iPhoto library on a WD My Passport without any problems.  I have a WD My Cloud 2 TB NAS.  I want to save my iPhoto on the NAS library so that whenever I want to access iPhoto I can't plug my DHM.  Or if I travel and you want to access my photos I don't have to carry the EHD with me.  Essentially, I want to use the NAS to accommodate my iPhoto library for access to daily and then use my passport EHD to perform manual backups on a regular basis, so I have a backup of the SIN.  My question... How can I move my iPhoto library to the NAS and it work to use the SIN as the point of main access for my photos?  Thank you.

  Short answer: you don't have. It is not a supported disc format and you risk of major loss.

  Long answer: iPhoto must have the library sitting on drive to Mac OS extended (journaled) format. Users with the library sitting on disks formatted also regularly report matters including, but not limited to, import, export, save the changes and photo sharing.

  See this article

  http://support.Apple.com/kb/TS5168

  to learn more. Also note the comment:

  "In addition, store the iPhoto library on a network rather than locally on your computer can also lead to poor performance or loss of data."

  This is doubly true in the case of wireless connections: If you try to change the library (i.e. make albums, move pictures around, keyword, brand books or slide shows etc.) or edit individual photos in it wireless be very cautious. Dropouts are a common reality of wireless network, and does it happen while the app is written to the database, then your library will be damaged. Simply, I wouldn't do this with my libraries.

  If disk space is a problem, and it is very definitely for you:

  Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled)

  1. quit iPhoto

  2 copy the iPhoto library to your folder on the external drive.

  3 hold down the option (or alt) key when launching iPhoto. In the menu that appears, select "Choose Library" and navigate to the new location. From there it will be the default location of your library.

  4 test the library, and when you are sure that all is well, trash on your HD internal for free space.

• How can I move the "Virtual Machines" folder to the My Documents folder?

  VMwareFusion is to put the "Virtual Machines" folder in the Documents folder in the home folder (/users/ [username] / Documents), how can I move elsewhere (as/Library/Application Support)? The user Documents folder is not the right place for automated it system files, it is intended for personal documents.

  
  

  I am running VMware Fusion on OS X Yosemite (and the virtual machine is Windows 7).

  You can keep your virtual machines anywhere you want. Here are the steps to move:

  1 exit VMware Fusion. You can stop first of all of your running virtual machines.

  2. drag your virtual computers folder or the individual VM "files" where you / them. Filenames usually end in ".vmwarevm". There is no need to call the new folder "Virtual Machines" - you can call it anything you like.

  3. Launch VMware Fusion. If the library of the Virtual Machine window is not open, open it (Windows menu-> Virtual Machine library).

  4. ensure that all of your icons for the virtual machine are light gray and say "file not found".

  5. right click on each virtual machine in turn, and select Remove. When you are done, leave the window of Machine virtual library empty open.

  6. in the Finder, drag the icons of file virtual machine in their new location and drop them in library of virtual machines VMware Fusion window. Drop them one by one in the original order, you got, or rearrange icons later.

  7. run your virtual machines as before.

  When you create new virtual computers, navigate to the desired file before the Save.

  IMPORTANT NOTE: If you your folder of Machines ~/Documents/Virtual excluded from backups Time Machine, don't forget to change the exclusion to the new folder.

  Time Machine backups are not reliable for virtual machines. You must have another strategy. (I shut the virtual machine down, compress the 'file', and then move the compressed file to a folder that is included in the Time Machine backups. This isn't the only strategy, but it works for me.)

• How can I move a folder to a different drive

  My external HD with all my photos seems to be corrupted, I bought another pilot. How can I move the entire library to the new drive... I do not see the new drive in Lightroom

  Changes are lost if you can't point LR to a good copy of your images.

  If you made a backup of your external hard drive, you can copy this backup on your new drive; Then, as long as the folder structure is the same the old disk, you point just LR on the top level of the new disk files in folders, and LR Panel will reconnect everything for you.
