Migrating iTunes and iPhoto repositories on a network
I just bought a 2GB SanDisk CompactFlash card for my EOS20D. Great: now I can take upwards of 400 pictures (in superfine jpg mode), or 195 pictures (in RAW mode)... but: I now realize that I don't have enough space on my PowerBook laptop to hold even one more 2GB download.
The good news is that I have a new MacMini on the home network... with roughly 63GB free on it.
So: what's the "right" way to transfer these photos to the MacMini...? I will likely want to view the photos from the PowerBook... even while I travel... so: I'll want a subset repository (perhaps photos with ratings of 3 or more "stars")... What's the right way to do this?
I have a similar problem with my iTunes music...
So far, (I haven't researched this much yet: decided to blog before discovering the result), I have found:
- How to transfer files from your PC to your Mac but this doesn't really deal with maintaining the repository on a home network.

I don't have an answer to your real question, but I can tell you that " (I haven't researched this much yet: decided to blog before discovering the result)," is also known as "asking the lazyweb".
So you're saying I should keep it as a draft and only publish things that I know... I suppose that's reasonable. (I have lots of drafts that follow those rules... I should spend some time finishing them).
Actually, I'm not suggesting anything; the act of randomly asking for help in a blog is so common that there's a word for it, and it's really called the lazyweb. I've used the lazyweb myself once or twice.
