How do I import my favourites folder in my effects bin to new fcp?

Hi guys,
I'm currently running FCP on my new MacBook Pro, and have successfully imported my keyboard layout and effects from the FCP on my old mac to my new one.
However, my favourites folder in my effects bin is empty, and I can't work out how to copy the contents of my old folder (with filters with specific settings) across to the FCP on my new mac.
I'm sure there's an easy way to do it, but I can't figure it out. Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Oli

As far as I can tell, your favorites are saved in the "Final Cut Pro 5 Prefs" file
This is located in: Users/your name/Library/Preferences/Final Cut Pro User Data.
To try it, move that file from the old computer to the same place on the new one then open a new empty project in FCP. If your favorites are there, then the problem is solved. If not, you can trash the file mentioned above (a fresh one will be created next time you open FCP) and we have to look for another way to solve this.

How to export/import a single folder of bookmarks

I want to export and import a single folder; or more correctly, backup / copy-transfer; one single folder at a time - but regardless how I attempt to do so, ALL bookmarks are transferred and I then have to go through several hundred to elmininate the duplicates. Please advise if it is even possible to save/backup then restore a single folder at a time. Thank You.

You can copy and paste that folder or selected bookmark to the clipboard and paste them in a text file.
You can also use another profile with no bookmarks and copy an paste that folder to the other profile and export them from that profile.<br />
Both profiles need to be open at the same time by starting the second profile with the -no-remote switch because current Firefox versions clear the clipboard if you close Firefox.<br />
Copy and Paste selected bookmarks from one profile to the other profile in the Bookmarks Manager (Library).

Importing a contact folder from external hard drive onto new iphone

It is kind of a long story...my mom was updating iphone on computer when computer crashed. iphone crashed. had friend move all info from crashed computer onto external hard drive. got new iphone.
so, she no longer has a computer and we have to share mine. she has her own itunes on an external drive and i have my own itunes on another hard drive. i got almost everything except the contacts moved back on her phone. i see the folder and contacts in a 'contact' folder on the external hard drive, but how do I move that to the new iphone without it being in outlook/google/yahoo. i tried 'adding folder' to the library containing the contacts, but that didn't work.
any suggestions? thanks!!!

thanks for the advise about the two users. so, i did that. but, now cannot seem to import the contact folder into the Address Book. the files in the 'contact'-hard drive are called CONTACT files (.contact). i don't know what that means. can i open those in the address book?

How do I import contacts, etc. from an original iPhone to a new 3G iPhone?

How do I import contacts, photos, history, emails, etc from my old original iPhone to my my new 3G iPhone? I tried the "import SIM Contacts" on phone, but no luck.

Your contacts should be in Outlook or whatever program you sync your contacts to, Your photos should be in whatever folder you saved them in your computer, your e mails should be in your e-mail server, music should be on itunes.
Everything should be on your computer if you are syncing as you should be.
When you sync you new iphone you will sync it to the same information, that is on your computer.

How do i import pictures from my old iMac directly to my new iMac using iPhoto?

Hello! I have just got a new iMac and I am struggling with Migration Assistant to transfer data from my old iMac to the new one
I have tried to follow the standard procedure with firewire cable without luck
I am now desperately trying to find a smart way to import pictures stored in the old iPhoto (old iMac) to the new iPhoto in the new iMac
can anyone help??
Thanks a lot
Valentina

thanks a lot for your tips, which unfortunately I am not able to follow as I currently stand
here is what happened, this morning when i started the new iMac I realized that i had in fact managed to complete the migration
upon start-up, the new iMac gave me the option to choose whether to log-in as the old Me (i.e. previous account in old iMac) or the new me
If choosing the old, I can access my old iPhoto and iTunes material
If I log-in as the new me, I am in the new iMac and do not know how to access neither iPhoto nor iTunes libraries
Question 1: Is there a way to access both libraries (iPhoto and iTunes) logging-in using the new credentials?
Eventually I would love to get rid of this double users accounts as I do not find it too convenient, I would rather consolidate the important data (i.e. pictures and music) in the new account
Question 2: Alternatively, if I were to follow the tip you gave me and forget about the migration altogether, can you help me locate the iPhoto library in the old iMac so that I can drag it as a single entity from the old Mac? could you also explain what I need to do to move it to the pictures folder of the new iMac?
Thanks so much for helping, pls consider me as a very basic Apple user, I appreciate you making it very easy for me to understand, do not give a lot of details for granted as I do not know a lot of stuff (for ex, I would not know where to start to "drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac")
hope you can help, make my day!

How can I import photo's from an older iPod to my new iMac ? I can do "import" in iPhoto, but the system does not "see" my iPod, even if it is connected to the iMac

I bought a new iMac. All photo's from the old iMac are on my iPod. The old iMac had a problem, due to which I could not transfer photo's. So I am trying to import the photo's from my iPod to my new iMac. But this does not work. The new iMac suggests to replace the content of the iPod with the content of the iMac, but I want to do just the reverse. When the iPod is connected to the iMac, the iMac seems to ignore the iPod. Probably because the iPod was first used on the old iMac ?

Photos on the iPod are not stored in standard formats, but in formats that are optimised for the space annd screen size of the device. So, unless you have specifically chosen to save full size images on the iPod - and have set up disk access for the job - then it's not going to work.
There are apps that will recover photos from iPods. Have a search on MacUpdate
But the best solution is to get the pics from your old Mac somehow.

How can I import my Favourites, cookies etcetera from Internet Explorer 9 into Firefox 7?

I used Internet Explorer 9 before, but I want to start using Firefox 7 as my standard browser, but I want to keep my old Favourites. How can I do that?

If Firefox doesn't offer to import the Opera bookmarks then export the bookmarks in Opera to an HTML file and import that file in Firefox.

How can I import an iTunes folder from another Mac?

I realize now I could've used the Migration Assistant and it would've been a lot easier. However, all I currently have is the copied "iTunes" folder from the "Music" folder of the other Mac. Is there any way that I can import this into my current Music folder and still retain set lists, etc.?

How do I import a bookmarks folder from another computer and add it to my existing list of bookmarks folders?

I have two computers. One contains a folder of bookmarks that I want to transfer to the other computer and add it in. I don't want to replace all my bookmarks on the second computer with those from the first computer. How do I do this?

Which kind of backup did you do? A backup from the Bookmarks Organizer or a backup using the program MozBackup?
If you used MozBackup, you need to install it on the new computer to decode the backup. http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/
If you used the Bookmarks Organizer, you might just need to add .json to the end of the file name.

How do I make a 'favorite' folder for audio effects ?

In the effects browser, the list of effects is very long, and the classification is not at all user-friendly. How could I group the effects I use often in a folder ?

If you stay with JUST the Logic effects, MOST (if not all) have a Preset drop down menu (I haven't used them all, so I can't say for 100% sure). At the very bottom of the drop down menu is an option to Save Preset. This is a feature I wish was on ALL effects in FCPX... it's been suggested to Apple a couple of times by me... apparently it's not a reasonable enough request... but that's how it is.
Anyway...
When you go into Audio effects, for each type of effect (distortion, echo, eq, etc...) when you highlight the type, in the right column the effects for that category appear. There are THREE sections (usually... unless you have other 3rd party Logic effects or AU plugins and you'll have others like Native Instruments or Blue Cat Audio, etc., and that will also depend on the categories the 3rd party effects fall in): the top section is usually "Final Cut". If you scan down the list there is a gray line and a label for the next section of effects, usually "Logic". And scanning further down the list you get to "Mac OS X". The Final Cut and Mac OS X effects are the typical kind of cr*p you find in Garageband: hard to understand and harder to use if you wander far from the presets - that and no graphical interfaces. The Logic effects on the other hand chew bubble gum and kick *** -- and they're fresh out of bubble gum. All of them sport a graphical interface (if you click on the little "eq icon"). Once you set your parameters to your liking, you can save your preset. It will show up in the Preset drop down menu any time you add that effect to any clip in the future.
We seriously NEED this feature for ALL effects Apple!!!!!!! All you readers, please send in a request/feedback.

How do I import my library from an external disk to my new MBP hard drive?

My old MBP was running out of space so I exported my Aperture library (250GB) to an external drive. I just replaced my old computer with a new MBP with a 1TB flash drive. Now that I have the space, I want to put my library back on my computer but I can't figure out how bring it in from my external hard drive. Any ideas? Many thanks.

Why do you say " I exported my Aperture library"? Did you actually use "File > Export > Items as new Library" in Aperture to create a new library on your external drive? A simple drag and drop of the library should have sufficed. What is your Aperture version?

Connect your external drive and use the Finder to drag the Aperture library from the external drive back to the Pictures folder.
Then double-click the library to point Aperture to the new location and open the copied library in Aperture.
If your Aperture library uses referenced originals, select the referenced images and use the command File > Consolidate originals" to move the originals back to your internal disk.
If you should encounter any error messages (like error -36) while moving the library to the internal drive, post back.

My user data ( music, movies, et. al.) take up too much space to fit on my SSD. How do I use the user folder I've copied to my new iMac's hard drive?

As above. I can use Migration Assistant to move my account from my old machine, but the data are far too extensive to fit on the solid state drive. I copied my user folder over to the new hard drive, but how do I access its contents? More accurately, how do I set the folder on the hard drive as my default storage space?

How can i import old projects (Final Cut Pro 10) to the new (final cut pro 10.1.1)?

Hi everyone,
I have a folder full of backup projects and events of Final Cut Pro X.
Now, I have Final Cut Pro 10.1.1 and I don't know how to use those projects, since they were in a different folder.
Yhanks very much
Bruno

I'm assuming these are on a secondary drive. At the drive's root level make folders called Final Cut Projects and Final Cut Events. Move the projects and events you want to work with into those folders. In FCP use File>Update projects and events. Select the drive you want to update and FCP will update the projects and events in those folders. Save the originals as backups.

How do you import Adobe Illustrator files to After Effects?

Hi,
I had drawn an animation file in Adobe Illustrator with 8 layers each depicting an animation/drawing.
I tried importing it to After Effects, but the drawing doesn't show up.
Anyone tell me what I am doing wrong; why the drawings are not showing up on the After Effects screen?
I made a video recording of it here:
Jae

Your drawing is black, and so is your background. Change the comp background colour, or toggle the Transparency Grid view button..
