How do import photos from one computer to another?

I got a new macbook and I'm trying to figure out how to get my photos from my iPhoto on my old computer to my new iPhoto library

Connect the two computers together any way that works best for you. Copy the iPhoto Library package from the Pictures folder on your old Mac to the Pictures folder on the new Mac.


If you already have a working iPhoto Library on your new Mac with photos then rename the one on the old Mac to something other than iPhoto Library so it doesn't overwrite the library on the new Mac.


If you want to merge the two libraries together so that you keep the organization of each library, i.e. albums, metadata, etc. use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to merge the two libraries together. See this tutorial from iPLM's website: Merging libraries.
