Seeking Ninja Mac iPhoto Original Photo Extract to Another PC
Hi Folks - Information seems a bit scant and somewhat ambiguous when I search for the above subject on Google. I've got a 11 year old iMac, hasn't had the OS updated in probably 4-5 years, and I'm looking to do two things:
1- Copy all original images that I imported into iPhoto to another PC. I'm getting ready to dispose of this old iMac and want to ensure that I am able to copy off all of my images both stored in iPhoto and outside of it. I can handle the stuff no problem outside of iPhoto. I'm not going to migrate to a new Mac but am going to consolidate the photos to a different machine altogether. How would I go about ensuring that I can see and copy all photos stored in iPhoto. FYI, I see a couple of folders on the Mac talking about recovered or reindexed. I'm guessing that is purely for the iPhoto database and doesn't actually move the original imported images around.
2- Need to do the same thing with iMovie. Copy all originally imported videos to another machine. What I'm reading online is that the original imported movie is not in one place and it was chopped up by iMovie and imported via clips. Thoughts, reality? Is there a way :-)
Thank you in advance!
Best, Mitch
