Can I move a project from my desktop using fcp7 to my laptop using fcp5?

I bought a used macbk pro with previously installed software, but what I thought was going to be fcp 7 turned out to be fcp 5. I'm going to be away from office for several wks - where my fcp7 discs are located.
So my question is: Can I/should I continue my edit using fcp 5 (I can do pretty much everything I need to with this version of fcp) without messing up the edit file? When I return to my office I can either install fcp5 on my desktop - or revert back to editing in fcp7 if the edit file allows for this.
thanks!

A fcp7 project will not open in fcp5. You would have to export from fcp7 as an xml (not sure which version of xml). Shouldn't have a problem, but ya never know. An fcp5 file should (emphasis on should) open in fcp7 without a problem.

I have Iphoto library in Aperture. Can I move the projects from iPhoto to aperture project by dragging?

I have Iphoto library in Apeture. Can I move the projects from iPhoto to aperture project by dragging (within the apeture program)? Is this making a duplicate of all the photos? It seems to work?? It then leaves my Iphoto library in apeture empty. I would like to do this just to reorganize the photos between the two. I feel that I may have doubles and would like all pictures of one year in same project in Aperture instead of going between both.

Tell us more, please. I am not quite sure, what you want to do and how you are using Aperture and iPhoto?
Which versions of Aperture and iPhoto are you using?
Do you have separate photo libraries for Aperture and iPhoto, or are you opening your iPhoto libraries in Aperture?
I have Iphoto library in Apeture.
Did you import an iPhoto library into Aperture? And now you are seeing a section "iPhoto Library" in the Aperture projects list in the Inspector?
Events and albums you imported from iPhoto (Import > Library > Some iPhoto Library) will be imported as Aperture projects and albums, and they will behave exactly as other Aperture projects and albums.

You can drag images from any project in Aperture to other projects and that will move (not duplicate) the images and all its versions to that project. And when you drag all images from the project to another project, the remaining project will be empty and can be deleted. (Caution: Photos that you have hidden in iPhoto will not be visible in Aperture. If you are not sure, if you have hidden photos, open the library again in iPhoto and unhide all photos).
I feel that I may have doubles and would like all pictures of one year in same project in Aperture instead of going between both.
There should be no problem with moving all photos from the same years to the same projects. You can also drag projects in "Projects" view on top of each other. That will merge them.
You could also define smart albums in Aperture to search for images taken at a specific period of time:
File > New > Smart album:
Then, in the Smart Settings HUD, click "Add Rule" and add a Date or Calendar rule.
For example, to find all images taken in 2010, use a rule "Date > Capture Year is > 2010"
To search for Photos taken at a specific date or at several dates, use a "calendar" rule. This way, you do nat have to type the date, but can pick it from a mini calendar.

How can I MOVE some projects from one library to another?

As the aperture library grows quite big and I want to split it into several smaller ones. How can I move projects from the old library to a new one without export them and re-import them all again? Is it possible to retain all adjustments after migration?
Thanks!

You export the project by CTRL / Right- click the project and choose 'Export' > 'Project'. The same if you go via the file menu.
Every adjustment you made, books created, albums etc. will be kept in the exported project and are available again when you import it to another library.

Under PC with windows 9, can I move garageband projects from one iOS devide to another ? (e.g iphone to ipad)

I made a garageband project with iphone and export it to itunes to move it to my ipad.
Hoever, exported .band is decrbed as folder, not a file, so i cannot move it to ipad.
Do you know any way to solve this?

Windows 9??? I didn't think 8 was finished yet!
At the moment iTunes can't add a folder to the file sharing area, only individual files. Looking at an iMovie project it is exported as a zip file with a .iMobileMovie extension and I don't really understand why the same hasn't been done with .band exports.
I have seen reports of success using iExplorer (formerly iPhoneExplorer) to add projects to the device but having completely failed to get it to work, or even show me the contents of the GarageBand app's folder on my iPhone I can't really suggest that as an option right now.
I have however submitted a bug report about the issue. With luck it will be addressed at some point.

Can i move a project from one mac to another

I have a MacBook Pro and an iMac. I would like to move a book I created on my MacBook Pro to my iMac. They are both running the most up to date iOS and software updates. Could someone please walk me through the steps?
Thanks

Books can't be copied between libraries, only Events and Albums.
Therefore you'll have to copy the entire library to your iMac and operate it as a separate library. So rename the library to something like "Book Library" before you copy it to the Pictures folder on your iMac. Then you can switch between libraries by launching iPhoto with the Option key held down.

How to move iMovie project from one computer to another

I have been working on an iMovie 09 project on my desktop at home.
Now I want to work on the same project on my computer at work.
How can I move the project from one computer to another? What I've already tried was to make a duplicate copy of the project and then use a thumb drive to move that to another computer. It didn't work.
Thanks for your help.

Hello James Snedeker,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like you want to move a file to another disk. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
iMovie: How to Save Projects to Another Hard Disk
To copy an iMovie project to another disk:
1. Quit iMovie if it is open.
2. Locate the project folder in the Finder.
3. Drag the project folder to the other disk.
Note: You must move the complete project folder, intact, to the other disk in order to successfully copy the project. The project folder has the same name as the project listed in the iMovie window. This folder includes the iMovie project file, as well as a Media folder, which contains all of the clips associated with this project. If you don't copy all of these items, the project may no longer be readable in iMovie.
Once you have copied the project, try opening it in iMovie to ensure that it copied to the other disk successfully.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,
Mario

Why can I login to iTunes from my phone with no problem, but I can't login to iTunes from my desktop.

Why can I login to iTunes from my phone with no problem, but I can't login to iTunes from my desktop using the same login credentials. I can use a different appleID and login to itunes with no problem.

Thanks for your reply. I mean that only when all of my music in the cloud is shown on my phone can I delete the music stored on my phone. I should be able to delete music that is stored on my phone when I can view ONLY the music that is taking up the phone's memory.

How can I move a photo from one project to another

How can I move a photo from one project to another without creating a duplicate so I have the same photo in two projects.
I seems to me in the past when I moved the photo from project 1 to project 2, I would get a number showing the # of photos being moved and you could drag and drop in the 2nd folder and the photos would disappear from project 1 and show up in project 2. is there a setting I am missing. Now when I drag and drop the photo no red # shows up and the photo stays in project 1 and also shows up in project 2 apparently creating a duplicate.
Any suggestion?

The projects are the basic containers. Each image and all its versions are in exactly one project.
You can use an image in many albums, without duplicating it, also in many products like books, screensaver, slideshows. But the projects are the basic structure of the library and you cannot have the same image in two different project, without duplicating it by storing the same original image files twice. Use albums to organize your library thematically.
Sorry, I misread your question. Dragging an image file between projects should move the image and all its versions to the other project. Aperture should only duplicate the image, if you hold down the alt/options key while dragging and move the image otherwise.
Which Aperture version are you using? And which MacOS X version? Is your profile signature "MacBook Pro with Retina display, Mac OS 9.2.x, Aperture 3.5.1" still valid?
In Aperture 3.6 on MacOS X 10.10.1 dragging between projects is still working as expected:

Can I save a project from idvd as a .mov?or anything other than an idvdproj

Can I save a project from idvd as a .mov?or anything other than an idvdproject?

It's possible, but a fair amount of work to start from iDVD. Far easier is to export your project from iMovie (Share/Export) to the format desired by the web site (mp4, Flash, ??).
In either case, it will not be an interactive experience (in other words, you can have a video showing your video being selected, but the web user won't be clicking the menu button).
If you want a short intro (pictures and song), why not add that to the beginning of your iMovie project, so it all looks seamless?

How can I move Logic settings from one machine to another?

I have a plugin that works find on my desktop but not on my laptop.
On the laptop, Musical typing" doesn't produce sound on a track that uses that plug, and I don't get sound when I connect the laptop to my MIDI keyboard. Works fine on desktop.
I want to avoid a setting-by-setting comparison to find out the magic difference, so I'm hoping to be able to "move" settings from the desktop (where everything works) to the laptop.
I've already been able to run the "non-working" project over the wife network from the desktop machine, and verify that the "working" one doesn't run properly on the laptop.: I can't run the -application- from the desktop, and I don't see a way to reset the relevant stuff to factory defaults.
Machines: 2010=11 iMac desktop 8 GB RAM, I TB HDD and 2 TB external drive. Both running Yosemite.

Additional note
Note: the problem plugin is called "Hauptwerk", a set of pipe organ sounds. You change its settings in the app; it doesn't expose its controls in Logic.
But when properly set up, Logic will play its sounds either fro Musical Typing or an attached MIDI keyboard.

How can I move a clip from one movie to another

How can I move a clip from one movie to another?

If it's just a clip, you can simply go to the other project and Add Media/From Files and Folders.
But if it's a part of your movie -- say a sequence of clips or a clip that's had effects added to it -- you technically can't cut and paste betweeen projects in Premiere Elements. However, some people have been able to do it using the third party program ClipMate, available online.

If the movie is in your iPhoto Library select it and use the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option. Select Format=Original and save to the Desktop.
Move it to your Movies folder and then drag it onto the iMovie app in the Dock.
