Having trouble transferring iMovie project
Hi - I'm pretty new to iMovie. I'm trying to transfer an iMovie '11 project from a MacBook Air to an iMac. I found the right page on Apple Support. It says you can use USB stick and that you simply hit "command" and drag the small icon of the project to the USB (when looking in iMovie at the project library list). I can see the USB in the library, and I can drag the icon but it won't transfer.
Any ideas?

Where did you read that?
As far as I know, you cannot use a flash memory drive for this purpose.

Hi I am having trouble expiring iMovie projects to YouTube in 720p it works some times but it fails to upload most of the time
A work around is to export from your camera roll.
So export the video to the camera roll.
Go to Photos app,
and choose export (the arrow pointing out), and choose to go to you tube form there.
It tends to be a little more reliable.
Hope that helps!
Also please tell Apple:

I am having trouble transferring files from an old MacBook (2007) to a MacBook Air over a wireless network. The connection was interrupted and the time was over 24 hours. Is there a better way to do this? I'm using Migration assistant. The lack of an ethernet port on MacBook air does not help.

I'm having trouble transferring the songs on my ipod to my HP computer. Everytime i authorize the computer to allow the songs to go on, it doesn't do anything. Then I authorize it again and still nothing has changed. Any suggestions?
Was the content purchased from iTunes? If not, it will not transfer.

Sony just isn't helping me. I'm still having trouble transferring my NX3 video files.
Well, I'm still having trouble transferring my NX3 video files to my editing software. Sony suggested using the Sony Content Browser but that doesn't work. Sony just can't seem to help me. If the scene shot on the card is longer than 10 minutes, 4 frames of audio is lost from each file. So if you shoot 60 minutes straight (say a wedding, you loose audio every 10 minutes) I guess this doesn't sound important, unless it happens just as the bride is saying "Yes" in her vows.
My original post is as follows:
Sony NXCAM (NX-3) drops audio tracks when importing into FCPX and Premiere.
I called Sony on Feb 13, 2015. I spoke with Doug (case no. 661972). I've been using my NX-3 for about 3 months. I'm still testing Sony NX-3. Looking for a way to transfer the video and audio without dropping audio frames. I didn't catch it at first, I mean it's only a few audio frames. It seems to happen with files over 12 minutes shooting. It seems that I can't upload the video/audio shot in my NX-3 to either my iMac (using FCPX nor Premiere) nor can I upload it to my PC (using Premiere) without 3 to 6 audio "frames" being dropped. When I spoke with Doug at Sony, a person I've actually spoke with in the past, he seemed frustrated. I was speaking with him as a professional and was attempting to find a solution, he was being protective and wanted to place blame at other companies. He stated that the camera played back the files correctly so it isn't a Sony problem. I explained that it is a problem for all of us if we choose Sony as our purchase. He told me "you should all buy Canons next time." That kind of through me. How do you speak to that. I explained that I am just looking for a solution and he told me to call the software and computer companies. Doesn't Sony realize that just because the camera works, that isn't the end of the road. You need to put the video into a devise to edit the video. I asked him what software would he recommend to a professional to use to edit footage taken by the Sony, he no reply. All I received from Doug was a really bad feeling about Sony. I've been a Sony "shooter" for over 34 years. I still can't believe the way I was treated. Not sure now what path I will take with this. But I surely need to tell everyone (all of my associates who have been asking me how I like my new camera) what response I received from Sony. Buy a Canon. By the way, I asked if Sony might have another camera of the same type that didn't drop audio. Doug didn't know. Really strange. Is Doug not happy with his prosition with Sony?Auto Correct:
As far as I'm aware this cannot be turned off. Someone may prove me wrong on this point
CDDB Update:
Again, as far as I'm aware this cannot be done. You could use WMP to update the files then import them into iTunes.
Music Deletion:
iTunes seems to only ask you if you want to delete a file if the file is located in its library folder. In the Preferences>Advanced>General section try changing your iTunes Music Folder to the folder where all your music is stored and it should ask you if you want to move files to the recycle bin when you delete them.
Library Update:
This is a feature I with iTunes would introduce. When you delete or move a file iTunes loses track of it. What it needs to be able to do is first check to see that all the existing files in the library are still there, and remove the ones that aren’t, then it needs to search for new tracks.
It can search for new tracks but if you have renamed a file, then it will be in the library twice, one is the old file (which will no longer play because it doesn’t exist) and the other is the new file.
The way I now avoid iTunes annoyances in relation to file names and folder organisation is I let iTunes sort it all out for me. Selecting "Keep iTunes Music folder organised" and "Copy files to iTunes folder when adding to library" will get iTunes to sort your music into Artist folders, then within the Artist folders are Albums, then within the album folders are the actual files, which are named Track Number Artist. For example Coldplay - Clocks will be named 05 Clocks.mp3.
WARNING: Selecting "Keep iTunes Music folder organised" will copy all the music in your library to the iTunes Music folder. You must have enough Hard Disk space to do this.
...that wound up longer then I thought it would. Hope you can make sense of it all.
Cheers,

I am having trouble transfering any media from my windows 7 pc to my iPad 3. Currently using the latest version of iTunes n my windows pc but still the media won't appear on my devicewhen being transferred..
The window would open and I would get the hourglass cursor suggesting something was happening, but the Apple home page (default from the install) would not load, nor would any other page I tried (google, yahoo, cnn).
Even though it's about a different application, I'd try the following document with that:
iTunes 10.5 for Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(Safari uses the same webkit engine to render web pages as iTunes uses to render the Store pages. So an issue that can cause the iTunes Store to blank can also cause a Safari for Windows application on the same PC to produce blank pages.) -
Having trouble installing iMovie HD on a new Mac with Mavericks
I am having trouble installing iMovie HD on a new Mac with Mavericks.
I know that iMovie HD works with Mavericks because we are using it on other Macs successfully. However, those machines were upgraded starting with OS 10.6. In other words, iMovie HD was installed on these Macs when the Macs had Snow Leopard.
When I use the iLife 06 disc, I am presented with “You can't open the application “iLife 06” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."
I understand that iMovie HD is universal, not PowerPC. How can I get past this to install iMovie HD.
ThanksOK, I made some progress.
I used Pacifist (Shareware) to open the iMovie HD 6 install packages from the iLife '06 installer DVD (iMovie.pkg and iMovieThemes_Tiger.pkg) and let Pacifist install them to the right places.
But doesn't iMovie HD 6 require QuickTime 7 to work ? -
Having trouble transferring photos frm iPad to PC. Have done it before using lightening to USB but sine update to iOS7 it says there are no photos
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

I'm having trouble transferring songs from Laptop to devices
I'm having trouble transferring songs from my laptop to both my iPad 2 and iPhone 5. I just added a new album to my library, and where before I used to select the songs I wanted to add to my devices, and then drag and drop them, this doesn't appear to work. I watched the tutorial and it says there is an 'Add to' option when you clkick on the device name in the top right hand corner. That doesn't appear on mine at all. Completely confused and nearing the end of my tether!

Were all those apps purchased using the same Apple ID and password you are using on your iPhone 5? Is that the same Apple ID and password you used on your iPhone 4? Is it the same that you use in iTunes on your computer?

Having trouble transferring music from old PowerBook to new iMac
I'm having trouble transferring my iTunes music from my old PowerBook to my new iMac. Trying to follow the online instructions by using an external hard drive to transfer from one to another.
Hi Skingz,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Is the external hard drive that you are working with formatted for Mac OS Extended Journaled? Is there enough space on it?
The process is the same regardless of the operating system you are using:
OS X Mountain Lion: View information about your disk
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11086
Formatting erases the contents of the external drive so be cautious. Also this process is for any application, not just Aperture:
Format external drives to Mac OS Extended before using with Aperture

iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
If you are still not able to copy the library to your new computer this way, then the alternative approach would be to copy the music folder from your old computer to the external drive, and then add the music folder to your new, empty iTunes library on the iMac. You'll have to recreate your playlists, etc, but at least you will have the music.

it says "source clip is missing" Help!
Hi
Did You move or alter any folder named
• iMovie Event's - or
• iMovie Project's
on DeskTop/Finder - if so - You must not do that - try to put all back
Did You in iMove trash any Event's - then don't - try to get them back by looking in trash-basket on DESKTOP. Move them out and back into iMovie Event's.
This problem might be due to the idea that there is a copy/movie in the Project - it's not !
You are using a NON-Destructive Video Editing program (all behaves in this way) and that means that PROJECT's are only a small text document pointing to What material You want to use, Where it is located e.g. in iMovie Event's - and how it's meant to be played.
If You move or delete any of the raw material - the Project will point to an empty space = Can Not be played.
WILDLY GUESSING - PLEASE no Offence ! (I've been here and done this - so I guess in this way)
Yours Bengt W
