How can I transfer my imovie project from the imac to the macbook pro

So that way I can continue to make/edit the movie on the go. I have a 27" imac and a macbook pro that I am working with. 
Thanks

The best way would be to move it using an external hard drive. Then you have to move the hard drive between the two computers. In fact you could all the Events folders and the Project on that same hard drive too. And everything would be self contained. You would use iMovie to copy the Projects and Events onto the external hard drive (don't drag anything outside of iMovie, moving the files manually is NOT good). Then as a last step run the Consolidate Project command on that copy of the project on the External HD. That would get everything you needed into one spot.
But be aware, your iTunes and iPhoto libraries are going to still be on your iMac. So you may not have access to EVERYthing you need to put into the final project.

    How can I transfer two user names from an iMac to a new macbook?
    got a new laptop and need to transfer two usernames to it, complete with all documents help?

    Assuming you haven't already set up a user, the easiest way is to use the Setup Assistant during first boot of the new Mac, with the two Macs connected by firewire.
    You'll be prompted to migrate from a choice of sources - choose "from another Mac", select the catagories of data you want to transfer and follow the instructions.

    If the books are in the iBooks app on your phone then you should be able to copy them over to your computer's iTunes (and then to the iBooks app if you have Mavericks on your Mac) via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases

  • How do I transfer files and applications from my iMac to a macbook

    I need to transfer my stuff from an iMac to a MacBook Pro, both not new. I don't have the original install discs for the iMac. Id like to be able to keep software etc on the iMac to transfer to a family member but I dont want any of my personal information to remain.
    Likewise I want to put my stuff onto the MacBook and transfer their stuff to the iMac, is it doable with a firewire cable and if so are there step by step instructions for an operator with a very small understanding!
    The iMac's processor is 2,4 GHz Intel Core 2 duo
    Thanks.

    Sounds like a question for Blackberry.
    Check your manual or the Blackberry support site, or Google.

  • How do I move an iMovie project from my iMac to my laptop

    I want to develop a movie project on two computers. One is permanently at work and my laptop is for weekends at home. Can't figure out how to keep it editable after moving to laptop. This is not just moving video to a different hard drive. I use lots of stills with transitions. Also music and video clips are involved. I just need to move the project back and forth as it's developed.

    There are several things to consider here:
    1) iMovie expects the Project file to live on the boot drive.
    2) The project file points to the iPhoto library, and the iTunes Library, which are usually also on the boot drive.
    3) The Event files can live on an external drive that is formatted HFS+ (journalled), but they must be moved there from within iMovie by using SHOW/EVENTS BY VOLUME and dragging and dropping in the Events Source List.
    So I would recommend the following:
    1) Do this one project at a time.
    2) Move the EVENT to the external drive using iMovie, as described above.
    3) Create a folder on the external drive called something like Project Assets
    4) Go into iPhoto and export any photo you are using to the Project Assets folder on the external drive.
    5) Go into iTunes and export any music file you are using to the Project Assets folder on the external drive. Ditto for any Garageband tracks, etc.
    6. Now go into your project. Remove the photos that are there. Replace them by opening the finder to the external Project Assets folder and drag them in from there. Do the same for the music.
    7) Now Create a folder on your external drive labeled iMovie Projects. With iMovie closed, use the Finder to move the folder containing the RCPROJECT file to the external drive in the iMovie Projects folder. Normally this folder is in the <user name>/Movies/iMovie Projects/ folder, unless you have added additional folders within iMovie.
    8) Now, eject the external drive and disconnect it from your computer.
    9) Connect the external drive to your other computer.
    10) Move the RCPROJECT file to the boot drive of the 2nd computer in the <user name>/Movies/iMovie Projects/ folder
    11) Now, start up iMovie on the 2nd computer, and everything should work. That is, if I haven't left anything out.

  • How can I transfer my iTunes library from Windows to my new Macbook and retain my iPhone contacts?

    Hello,
    I am running iTunes on Windows Vista with music, videos. This is paired to a 3GS which has many contacts on it. The iPhone is regularly synced and backed up.
    I have just bought a new MacBook Pro and want to transfer my entire iTunes system over. I see that I can transfer the music library over with Home Sharing. I want to ensure, however, that when I sync my iPhone with my NEW MacBook Pro, that all the data is retained. I am most concerned with losing the contacts on the phone.
    Does anybody know how I can do this? I just want to wholesale copy the iTunes environment onto my new machine, I guess.
    Thanks,

    Contacts (and Calendars) are not part of iTunes. iTunes is simply used to sync them from whatever apps you are using.
    This is for Mac OS 10.4 but it will work for whatever you are now running.

  • How can I transfer and store data from my PC on the ipad without using icloud

    I am a new user having received the iPad air/2 from my family as an 80th birthday gift. (at my request).
    At this stage my principal usage is to transfer photos for PC to show family when visiting. I tried iTunes but it caused many problems with my PC, so I un-installed it. I found an ap which did the job simply and easily via wi fi transfer.
    My other main usage is to be able to play my music transferred from my PC to the ipad and held in it's memory so that it can be used even when off line.
    In other words iCloud doesn't seem to be able to do this.
    I sent myself a song via an email, downloaded it on to the ipad, listened to it, then closed the email.
    I cannot now find where that song has got to to retrieve... ipad search says it can't find it.
    Basically I want to transfer a folder of music into the ipad and play them back at will.
    Can anyone help me?
    Sorry to be so longwinded.. cheers Ted
    My PC runs Windows 7 64 bit.
    iPad is IOS8 I believe with 64 GB memory.

    You shouldn't be worrying about 'hackers'. Apple have good security & so long as you pick good passwords the data should be safe.
    There are parts of using iOS & iTunes that requires an Apple ID & iCloud, however you can disable many of the feature you do not need, and avoid syncing any files into iCloud. It can be annoying, but a lot of the services help to make backups easy.
    You may want to visit into an Apple store if you are near one, they may try to sell you on the benefits of iCloud (it's kind of their job), but they may also be able to help you get the iPad under control. See if you can get the PC setup with iTunes, that is probably where you need to start.
    Good luck with it

  • How do I transfer my iTunes library from my iBook to my MacBook Pro?

    I have just bought a 17" MacBook Pro nd want to transfer my iTunes library from my iBook. (lots and lots of songs) I did not have access to my iBook when I first authorised the MB and later tried to use the migration assistant in Tiger.
    Although it seemed to work I could not find my iTunes library and it did not transfer. All the settings on the iBook should have allowed me to do this.
    Any suggestions, other than start from scratch installing the track?
    Thanks
    TT

    You can link the two laptops together with either Airport or Ethernet and get really fast transfer speeds without wasting time transferring everything to an external HD first. After the physical connection, set it up in the Network pane of your System Preferences. Alternately, you can connect the two macs with a firewire cable. Then restart the old Mac while holding down the "t" key. This will start your old Mac in firewire target mode, basically turning it into a harddrive which will mount on the desktop of your new Mac.
    You might be able to drag and drop your iTunes folder from the Home>Music directory of your old Mac into the Home>Music directory. Otherwise, you can drag the folder to the desktop of the new machine and then drag and drop each individual folder into the iTunes window of the new Mac to import the music. Be sure to deauthorize (from the iTunes Music Store) your old iBook before selling it.

  • How do I transfer a movie file from my iPad to my MacBook Pro?

    I recently accidentally deleted all media files that existed in the iTunes Media folder on my MacBook Pro. I have managed to recover almost every file, the only one I have yet to recover is a movie that was redeemed through iTunes after I purchased it as part of a DVD/Blue-Ray/Digital Copy combo pack. It is no where to be found on my hardrive yet the 'phantom' file still extsts within my iTunes library. After checking all of our family's Apple devices (2 iPhones, 5 iPads, 1 older MacBook, & 1 MacBook Pro) I was delighted to discover the movie still exists on my stepson's iPad Mini! Only now I cannot seem to find a way to 'transfer' this movie file back onto my MacBook Pro. I am refusing to sync or update his iPad Mini in fear that I might loose the only copy of the movie I have left! Can someone please help me transfer this file back to my MacBook Pro? Thanks so much!

    This talks about iTunes 10, but it should work the same way in iTunes 11. Transferring purchases for an iDevice to your Mac.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2554
    It should be File>Devices>Transfer Purchases, I think
    You must be using the same Apple ID in iTunes on your Mac that your son is using on the Mini or the movie will not transfer.
