How to transfer the old macbook pro iPhoto library

I got a new Macbook and wanted to transfer my photos from my old computer in a fairly simple manner. Thank you

You could try & use migrate manually move (copy) data from one Mac to another...

Not all the elements of an older Mac or its OS X should be moved into a new. Be wary.

• OS X: manually migrating the data from another Mac - Apple Support

There is a section that says what to try once you have the iPhoto library

moved to the folder of Photos, and if it is not recognized, a link to info on what to do.

• How to move a photo for Mac iPhoto library:

Remember to make backups and separate archives for your computers so that they does not work

out of storage space. and a device size enough drive for Time Machine, too.

This is a source of information that can be useful beyond the investigation of libraries of photos.

Good luck & happy computing!

    I have an old MacBook Pro (13 "mid-2009). I can't upgrade to macOS Sierra because it is not supported. However, it has currently Mountain Lion installed on it, and I wonder what is the best route to find/install El Capitan now that it has been removed from the App store since the release of macOS Sierra.

    Thanks for any help.

  • put the old macbook pro hard drive in the new macbook pro

    so I have a MacBook Pro with a port of moniter fried on the motherboard and the battery started to swell physically so I removed the drive HARD and RAM end of 2009. So here's my question; Now, I received recently a late 2010 MacBook Pro with a smaller HARD drive if I put my 500 GB HDD from my old computer and now I wonder why it does not start even if it's a MacBook Pro registered, formatted and updated HARD drive already?

    Does not work like that. The OS X is for the Mac that you pulled. Bus information processor and the room and everything. Buy an external USB box and put the old hard drive in it. You will be able to recover your personal data and you can delete it, format and use it for external storage.

    You cannot shoot a hard drive with OS X work and put it in any Mac. Once installed, OS X belongs to the Mac, it was planned to organize. Any OS that way, is not just Mac.

    Bravo!

  • How to view the old libraries of iPhoto on an external drive without importing it?

    In iPhoto, I used to keep all my libraries of photos on an external drive to save space (a different library for each year).  I would just choose which library I wanted access at the launch of iPhoto and it would launch from the external hard drive.  In the new photo app, I can't understand how to display these old libraries without actually importing them I won't do for space-saving reasons.  Anyone know how I can do to check/change photos from an external hard drive via the Photos app?  Thank you very much!

    Pictures of launch with down option, click library and choose them.

  • How to transfer the old operating system to Windows XP on a drive USB3 to allow the start of a new XP computer

    I have Windows XP SP3 on a Dell computer. I have a new computer with Windows 7 Pro.

    I want the option to be able to start my new computer with XP and run it as an alternative to USB.

    Is there a way I can completely transfer the contents of the drive WITH the XP OPERATING SYSTEM on a regular external USB3 drive so I can start the new computer using XP works like the operating system, when I need?

    Thank you.

    You do not have.  Windows XP doesn't work this way (start of the external drive).

    You can virtualize the old computer (physical to virtual conversion) and run it as a virtual machine on your new system.  Although, honestly, it would be a bit beyond the type of assistance usually given in these home user forums.  A Google search would be ways to virtualize a physical system and/or choose which Manager of virtualization that you want to use (Microsoft VirtualPC, VirtualBox, VMware Player/workstation, etc...)

  • How to transfer music from MacBook Pro on my iPhone?

    My wife and I have a MacBook Pro 2011. Our collection of music is on itunes for the most "ripped" from our large collection of CDs. The sign in the computer is on Apple ID my wife we have a family sharing. We also have a family membership to the Apple's music.

    LLE problem is only my wife is able to synchronize our iTunes music on his phone (things like Neil Young that are not available on the Apple's music). The computer won't let me not sync albums on my phone. After trying a lot of things and them does not, I got my wife to activate iCloud music. This seemed to have two effects: 1 / a whole bunch of my wife music and playlists that I do not automatically downloaded on my phone. 2 / albums that I now want to show when I search for them, but the music will not play (when I go to one of the albums by Neil Young in Apple music and tap on one of the songs I get the error message "point not available - this article cannot be read). Before passage of iCloud music albums wouldn't appear at all when you searched them. Any suggestions?

    Maybe he thinks that El Capitan with not enough ram?

    No matter who else knows about this and all the patches?

    Thank you...

    After a new installation, more 350 000 files of Mac OS X may have changed. It will take a few hours before Spotlight and its subtask, mdworker re-indexing are finished and your Mac should be more responsive.

    4 GB is supposed to be enough for ordinary under ElCapitan. But more than 4 GB can often exploit more adapted.

    For the advanced work such as Photo, video, sound, CAD or simulations, more 4 GB would be certainly necessary for good performance.
