    Do you want to transfer only a few photos or all of your photos?

     

    To transfer all photos from your old Mac to the new mac you need to copy the iPhoto Library to the new Mac.  Copy it from the Pictures folder on the old Mac to an external drive and from there to the Pictures folder on the new Mac.

     

    Which system versions do you have on your Macs? Are you using My Photo Stream?

    If you just want to transfer selected photos export them from the old iPhoto Library and transfer them on a thumbs drive.
