Saving project on one mac and moving it to another

I saved a project on a macbook with '08 and tried to transfer it via a usb thumb drive and when i plug it into my imac with '09, it says that the file type isn't supported and then an abort button. What can I do?

It is MS-DOS (FAT).
that would be the problem, GB projets are in a format specific to a mac formatted volume.
Should I reformat to avoid this kind of problem again?
yes
WIll I be able to use it on both Mac and PC if I do reformat?
no, i do not believe so. macs can read windows formats, but windows can't read mac formats without third party software of some kind
you'd probably be better off getting another inexpensive thumb drive to use on the windows boxes (here's a 4 GB drive for around $13)

  • I have an extensive aperture library on my computer's hard drive and I want to break it up into separate smaller libraries on external hard drives.  How do I take projects from one library and add them to another one?

    Coastal,
    Frank gave you the exact answer to your question. 
    However, I would like to ask if you are indeed asking the right question.  Do you really want different libraries?  The implications are that you have to "switch" libraries to see what's in the others, and so that your searches don't work across all of your pictures?  If so, then you asked the right question.  If not, you may be more interested in relocating your masters to multiple hard drives so your library gets smaller, instead of breaking up the library.

  • Buy songs on one Mac and then transfer to another Mac/iTunes Lib?

    Hi,
    I have my main machine at home and usually use iTunes there to shop the store. Now recently I have to be on the road a lot and when I check into the hotel, I use my Macbook to occasionally browse the iTunes store. And sometimes I want to buy something. What happens to those songs? They will end up in the iTunes library on my Macbook. Is it easily posible to transfer them over to my main library on my other Mac?
    Thanks
    Sascha

    So I just copy them over? That's it?
    Yes.
    What about the DRM?
    The DRM doesn't prevent copying of the files, but it requires authorization before the files can be played or otherwise used, and only five computers can be simultaneously authorized.

  • How do I transfer an imovie project on one mac to another mac?

    I need to get an iMovie HD project from another Mac onto my machine to continue editing in iMovie HD 6 - some sound issues that need resolving. How can I transfer the project? The original project is too large to fit on a DVD (Dual layer). Will I have to connect both machines via ethernet and physically transfer it? If so, how do I do this - I need to have an exact clone of the project (all titles, separated audio etc...). Please help!

    'til vers6, an iM project is a 'solid' package, a single file you can easily transfer from one Mac to another.. establish a local network (ethernet, firewire or wlan/airport), allow one machine access to the other and simply drag'n drop project file (has a star as icon) onto other Mac ...
    I like the socalled 'Target Mode', MacOs allows: connect both machines by firewire, launch one Mac and hold the T key .. now, Mac is a firewire-drive, you can access as 'external harddrive' by other Mac .

  • Project from one mac to another

    Hi
    How dose one take a project from one mac to another.
    On one of mac the fotage has been cut as a ruff cut and I would like to take that edited to another mac the fotage is on both mac. Is it as simple as a edl list and reconnect the fotage on the other mac.
    tips please as this is the first time I'm going to do this
    thanks for helping out going from 5.1 to 6

    Just copy the project file to the other Mac, and open it. Reconnect if FCP asks you to.
    If you just want that single sequence, right-click the sequence in the Browser window, and choose File -> Export -> XML (version 3). Copy and import that in FCP on the other Mac. (File -> Import -> XML)

  • I have no problems copying iMovie Events from one Mac to another, however, how can I copy iMovie Projects from one Mac to another?

    I have no problems copying iMovie Events from one Mac to another, however, how can I copy iMovie Projects from one Mac to another?  Any help will be appreciated.  Thank you.

    This should give you some good insight, I'd probably store them on an External HD on the old machine and then just drag and drop to the new machine.

  • How can you take a photo from one event and put it in another, without dragging to desktop and dragging back into iPhoto and moving it to the event folder I want it in.

    As the title says I need help on how to take a photo from one event and put it in another, without dragging to desktop and dragging back into iPhoto and moving it to the event folder I want it in. Right now when I want to move a picture from one event to another I drag it to my desktop then delete it from iPhoto then I drag it back into iPhoto and put where I want it.An example would be taking a photo from the Christmas event and add it to a specific person event.  Can I do that within the events section without all the dragging. Also is there anyway I can remove duplicates from iPhoto without going through each and every file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Apple doesn't make it easy to do what you want.  However, here's how I do it. 
    Select the photo you want to move and create a new Event for it via the Event ➙ Create Event menu option.
    In the Event mode select the new Event with the one picture and drag it onto the Event you want to move the photo to.

  • How can I partition my external hard drive supporting mac OS in one partition and windows OS in another?

    Hello everyone, how can I partition my external hard drive supporting mac OS in one partition and windows OS in another?

    OK. Start with:
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to two (2). Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Click on the Erase tab in DU's main window. Select one of the two partitions, preferably the first one, change the Format type: to MSDOS then click on the Erase button.

  • Using TimeMachine with one Mac and two HDD

    Hi
    I was wondering if the following can be done with out loosing data and with out confusing TimeMachine:
    Using one mac and with time machine going back and forth between 2 external HDD ?
    in order to have 2 TimeMachine HDD (one at home and one on the move)
    Did one of you did try this ?
    If yes is it working fine ?
    Thanks for sharing your feed back
    Regards

    Hi, and welcome to the forums.
    Yes, that works fine.
    The first backup to each drive will, of course, be a full one.
    Thereafter, each backup will be an "incremental" one, of all the changes that have been made to your system since the last backup +*to that drive.+*
    Of course, if you create a file at home, run a backup, then change the file and run another backup, your "home" backup will have both versions of that file. If you then do a backup to the other drive, it will only have the new version.
    The more changes you make between drive swaps, the longer the first backup after the swap will be, since there are more changes to "catch up" with. In some cases, the volume of changes may cause Time Machine to do a "deep traversal," with a longer than usual "Calculating Changes" phase, to figure out what's changed and needs to be backed up.

    If you mean iTunes libraries, sync it with the desired iTunes library. If you mean iTunes Store accounts, an iPod can contain content from five of them at once with no special actions needed.

  • Is there anyway to take a downloaded app from one computer and put it on another without rebuying it. I have a macbook that I bought the new iMovie and iPhoto on, but I would rather it be on my iMac. So is there anyway I can change it?

    Is there anyway to take a downloaded app from one computer and put it on another without rebuying it. I have a macbook that I bought the new iMovie and iPhoto on, but I would rather it be on my iMac. So is there anyway I can change it? I thought that if I bought it the apps on my macbook, they would be avaliable on my imac like the mobile devices operate. The macbook has 10.6.8 cause its a older model and I think lion would slow it down. Any help??

    Just redownload it on the other computer by logging into the App Store with the same Apple ID you used to purchase it.

  • Can you edit a person from one photo and add them to another photo?

    Can you edit a person out of one photo and add them to another photo?  Like if you need the head shot from one photo to replace closed eyes in the other photo?  Thanks.

    Thank you very much!  Does this require software to be purchased?  I'm new to Photoshop.

    Subject: Re: Can you edit a person from one photo and add them to another photo?
    Welcome to the forum.
    Yes, this is done often. You will need to create a Mask of that person, to separate them from the background of the original Image.
    I like to do this with a Layer Mask, as it offers control, and really does not alter the Image, so you can go back and make changes.
    Let's say that you have Image 01 w/ the head of your subject, and want to place it into Image 02. In Image 01, make a rough Selection. I would include a bit of extra background, as we will take care of that in a moment. With that Selection active, Copy the head shot. Go to Image 02, and Paste it. It will Paste in its own Layer. Ctrl+T (Free Transform) can be used to Scale and also position that Layer with the head. Once you have that Scaled and positioned about where you want it, create a Layer Mask. In QuickMask Mode, just paint in the additional Mask to remove all traces of the background that came in with the head shot. As you can paint OUT, and also paint IN the Mask, you can work on this, as many times as you wish - even next year.
    For getting that Layer Mask looking good, work slowly, also see this http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/photoshop/l/blrbps_5agirl.htm.
    I've got another tutorial, that addresses the hair area, and will post that, when I find my bookmark.
    Good luck,
