Can anybody please help me?

I am trying to move a iphoto '07 library from my old iMac (leopard) to my new iMac (leopard) and then share that library back to my old iMac.

You used to be able to backup to dvd, now it needs time machine....???

How do i copy/move the library?

Thanks

07? There's no such version. Now if you mean iPhoto version 7 (that's included in iLife 08), then yes, the transfer is super easy.

You will find a huge file inside your Photos folder (username/pictures). Just copy that over to your new mac by whatever means (network or external drive). And then double click it once in your new mac.

I'm sure you know how to Share photos within iPhoto. Just have to enable sharing in the preferences...

Tried that and not all the information came across; some events; some albums; flags, etc.
