Can I copy an entire event into a project?

This is day 2 with my new iMac after starting with Apple II 30 years ago and working with MS products for 25 years, so go easy on me.
I have a Canon HV20 HD Camcorder (DV tape-based) and it imports easily into iMovie 08. Of course, if I have an hour of video, I get a TON of clips in my new Event. At this very moment, my concern is to empty the tapes onto the computer and have something that can be watched even without editing.
Is there any way to move the entire event into a project which can be burned to a DVD or watched as-is? (As opposed to selecting each clip and dragging it into the project.) Or should I just leave it down in the event area, since, as I am just finding out, it cannot be cleaned out because that is where the actual video resides.
I am not an editing freak, so mainly my movies are just video snapshots to be viewed casually at some distant point in the future.
Also, is there a really simple way to dump a project onto a DVD (remember I am recording in 1080i) so that it can be watched on an HDTV? Do I need Blu-Ray or HD-DVD to do this???
BTW, a salesperson at B&H Photo in NYC recommended for me to get tape (I hate tape!) since it would be a better way to edit and save, and WOW, he was right!!!

There is an easy way to move your movies onto DVD, subject only to the capacity of the DVD. In iDVD, there is an option for One-Step DVDs, that creates a DVD of exactly what is on your tape. It is an option that comes up when you start iDVD.
The problem you may encounter is that blank DVDs hold a relatively small amount of video, so if you're recording in 1080i, you might not be able to put much onto an individual DVD. I'm not aware of any Blu-Ray or HD-DVD burners that work on a Mac, but I have to confess I've not looked into them.

Help! The new Pages. I can't copy an entire page or rearrange the pages. In the new formatt also when I insert a new page when using a template it doesn't give me the formatting and guides. Can anyone help.

I can't copy an entire page or rearrange the pages. I use this feature a lot, particularly at this time of year. Can't seen to rmove the header and footer markers either.
Can anyone help or do I need to revert back to pages 09?
If I do re-install 09 will I be able to open the files that where converted to the new version?
I don't like this new one. Many of the graphics features have been removed. Not impressed at all. Very frustrated.
The business card templates and others behave strangly. If I insert a page it's blank only. I don't get the guides. I was in the middle of a design project and had to start again from scratch as it threw everything out of alignment and I can't copy an entire page. When I use select all, group then copy when I pasted it on the new page it overlayed all the cards in the top two segments. Frustrating ! I ended up saving my first page under a different name that was the only way to copy the page then I had to work between three documents instead of one.
I went in today to last years Christmas tag file and the same issues I can't copy a page. I can't rearrange the pages.
Simple features like colour choice and transperency for shapes are gone. I want to use my colour choices not someone else.
Sorry, I am ranting.
For now all I need is to be able to copy and switch pages around in one document.
Please Help! I am about to start pulling my hair out in frustration.

Yes, I am using 09 with out issues. Just have to remember to use "open with 09" or open pages 09 first then my document.
I create some amazing cards and posters with 09 that when on a PC I would have to use both Word and Publisher to create. Flipping back and forth.
Apple if you're listening please, give us back our layout options and even add a few more design options like beveled and 3D text.

How can I copy current board content into new board?

Hi there.
how can I copy current board content into new board?

Hi-
Can I drag it to the external drive or perhaps just the songs, then copy/drag them to my new computer ?
Pretty much, Yes.
If you wish to keep the formatting, notes, ratings, etc. that are with the library, you should allow the iTunes software to "discover" the library.
If the iTunes Library from one machine is placed on an external drive, the iTunes software on the other machine can be directed to the library of the external drive when connected.
Allowing "Copy to Home folder/music" will provide for copying of the library to the new machine.
Alternatively, if the library is loaded onto an iPod, the iPod can be used to transfer the music.

Can I copy an entire page without having to format it all over again?

Can I copy an entire page without having format it all over again? Can I basically do a copy and paste onto a new page?

Yes, you can Copy/Paste a group of fields (or entire page with Select All), formatting is retained.
If you want a new form with the same fields the easiest/best method is to "Duplicate" the form from the "My Forms" tab, click on the form to select and click "Duplicate" on the top toolbar (also available in the context menu when you right click on a file).
With "Duplicate" any "Show/Hide" logic is also retained and you have the option to copy responses as well.
Thanks,
Josh

How can we track the entire event in which the form mode gets changed?

If the form is in OK Mode and if the user edits any field(Including UDF Window Fields). form mode changes to Update...So at that time, how can we track the entire event in which the form mode gets changed?
Thanks
Hari

Dear hari angamaly,
You could get the form mode by FormMode Property in ItemEvent Object in UI API.

How can i copy and paste events in my icloud calendar?

how can i copy and paste events in my icloud calendar?

What I do, since I have shifts with same times just different daily, is make an event for the shift. Then on the repeat option, choose custom, and then monthly choose the days I want to copy the event to. Then on the end date option I choose the end of that month, so it essentially doesn't repeat, more of the copy and paste effect. Hope this helps, cheers.

Help with getting Events into a Project please

I apologize if this topics been covered here or somewhere else on the Apple website(s), but I cannot get my Events into a Project in iMovie. I've read the directions, watched the videos, and looked at these pages but can't seem to find an answer. At this point, all I want to do is download video from my camcorder to save it and edit later (when I have more time). I managed to download video from several events from the flash drive on my Canon Vixia HF11 and it appears in the Events library. I can play it and select clips without difficulty. I tried to select all the Events (all together and separately) to move to a project (after opening a new project), but the cursor bounces back. It will allow me to select clips but this is very cumbersome and time consuming and I don't want to edit now - I want to save all the video. The "add to project" button doesn't work. Am I missing something? There must be some way to select ALL the video in all the Events I've downloaded to put into one project. BTW, we're only talking about 40 minutes of video. If possible, please post screen shots so that I can see exactly what to do. Any help is much appreciated.

no, not avail.
and 'off'-concept of that tiny edit-app:
when you import, you create a Library of all footage.
iM will split these videos (by date) into seperate 'Folders' = Events.
the idea of iM is, to offer you this Library to create a SELECTION of it for any given Project. there are very rare cases I can imagine, you add ALL material of one Event into one Project (in the Event Window hit apple-a), even a Lecture allows to edit here&there.
but adding all material from any imports into one Project? no. no need = no feature.

I need to split my iPhoto. I have a new external hard drive - can I just drag Photo events into the drive?

I need to move events from my iPhoto to a new external hard drive. Can I just drag events into the hard drive?

No.
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
Now you have two full versions of the Library.
3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
Some Notes:
As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager

Can i copy my entire hard drive from one computer to another?

I am buying a used ibook 900gh 640ram 40gb hd using 300mh clamshell now - i would like to copy my entire hard drive from the clamshell to the new ibook OS and all so when i use it everything will look and work exactly like it does on the clamshell - can i do this easily? disc copy when booted from a CD?

Hi, not on Tiger at the moment, so I can't be certain, but...
I may be wrong, but I thought the Networked Mac only came about in Leopard's Migration assistant.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1554
Setup Assistant, included with computers that have Mac OS X 10.3.4 or later preinstalled, can transfer data (including account settings and home folders) from a previous Mac (that's using Mac OS X 10.1 or later) to your newer computer. You'll need a FireWire cable to connect the two computers together. The Assistant offers to transfer (or "migrate") data from your older computer when you turn on your new computer for the first time. Make sure the older computer's firmware is up-to-date first.
The only way I see this is going to happen is with a USB/FW external drive, and painfully Clone the Clamshell via USB 1.1 to the external drive, move the drive to the iBook and connect via FW.

How can I make a imovie event into email size segments

I recorded a 24 minute bicycle ride and the reults were good.
I imported the AVI file event into Imovie and the file is now a wopping Mpeg 4 3.78 GB. HD 1280 x 720.
I tried to share the file to email to some friends (or a segment of) but was far to big.
I tried to split clip but no matter what I do that modify menu item remains in light grey and that menu item can not be used.
In a past version I manged to do this on an earlier release. Currently I am using Imovie 10.0.2 which comes up as the currnet version.
I also now have a "Share Failed" alarm "The share operation "Theatre-SUNPRO0003" has failed. Video rendering error: -50" come up every time I use IMovie and I can not get rid of it as it keeps popping up every minute and is very anoying.
I also had the computer slow down considerably and found the problem was Drop box austomatically started uploading the huge file as did ICloud to begin with.
Any assistance would be of great help.
Computer is a 2009 MacPro with 10 gig memory and using OS X 10.9.1 and pretty fast internet connection.
Regards
Barry

iMovie does not allow any editing or splitting of clips in events. You can only do this in a timeline. Consequently if you want to split or shorten a clip you have to do it before importing into iMovie. Quicktime 7 or Quicktime 10 are able to do this.
Your movie is very big becasue of the high resolution. You can make it smaller using a lower resolution. There is a share to email option. I would not share to Theater - it creates several different version s of the movie and slows things down a lot.
If you only want to share the movie at original resolution and not do any editing, why not simply upload it directly to Dropbox (i.e. not via iMovie) , splitting it first if your Dropbox capacity is not big enough?

How can you copy information from Safari into Pages

Is there a way to easily copy data, such as financial tables from Safari into Pages and maintain the integrity of the table and the data within it? When I copy and paste it comes out all misaligned and into multiple pages. The same thing happens if I try to highlight the table in Safari and drag it into Pages. Is there not a "paste special" function in Pages like there is in Microsoft??

See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5775
You can then drag the resulting image into a Pages document, and position.

How can I copy and paste events in the calendar?

Does anyone know how to cut and paste or copy and past events in the calendar? The events happen at different times and on different days so I can't just "repeat". Thanks in advance!

Ignore MJG196 post.
In Calendar, tap the event, tap Edit, then change the Starts date you want the event to move to.
