How do I move a referenced Aperture project from a laptop to desktop?

I utilize Aperture by reference rather than managed.
I have a project on my laptop that I want to tranfer including all versions, crops and rated images onto my desktop as a referenced project.
If I export Project as a New Library on my laptop and import as library on my desktop, everything comes over BUT it is now a managed library with no corresponding folder in Pictures.
If I simply copy the referenced folder to the desktop and Import Folders as Projects, the only versions that transfer as cropped and processed are those images processed by an external editor (ie Nik) but nothing else.
SO, I'm going crazy thinking either Apple just doesn't really want me using a referenced library (thinking someday I will easily jump ship to Lightroom which I am now seriously considering) OR I am missing something in the process.
Can anyone assist with this somewhat technical issue?
Thanks!

Thanks Frank.

How specifically do I do this?

How can I move an Photoshop cc membership from one laptop to another?

Having to borrow a friends laptop for classes, installing a cc mebership on their compter. I have my own laptop back from repairs and want to move my membership with purchased Photoshop on it, HOW? or Can I?

Just repeat the installation process... install the CC manager program and sign in and download whichever application(s) are associated for your subscription. As a minimum you can sign out of the installation on the other machine to make it inactive... if you prefer.

How can I move my entire iTunes library from old laptop to new one?

I got a new iPad for Xmas to replace an old laptop not realising I would still have to have a laptop or PC for my main iTunes library. I have got round ths by creating my own area on my partner's laptop & have installed my iTunes library on there. However, it has only installed my purchased music & not my wider collection such as all my CD's that I burned then got rid of to go digital. I have my complete library on my iPad & iPhone but need it on my laptop too in case I lose or break a device & need to install my iTunes library to a new device.
I have followed the support detailing how to move your iTunes to a new computer but am not getting very far. I don't have an iPod to use as an external hard drive. I read that you can drag your iTunes library to a CD or DVD but my library is 16GB & I don't have any disc big enough!
Does anyone have an idea of a simple way I can do this? Is it not possible to do it directly from my iPad or iPhone seeing as my complete library is on both of these devices?

Before you connect any device to a new library go to the Devices tab of the the preferences panel via Edit > Preferences (Windows) or iTunes > Preferences (Mac) and ensure the box next to Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically is ticked. You can now safely connect the device to your computer without the danger of media being automatically deleted or overwritten.
To get all your content off your connect your iPad to your new computer.
Then use a 3rd party piece of software to transfer your content
I have found Senuti useful but there are others listed in the article I linked to in a previous post.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
That will let you transfer your non purchased content
For Purchased content log in to iTunes on the new computer
In Itunes Store click on Purchased under the Quick Links section on the right.
Download any music by clicking on the cloud button

HT1386 How do I move my iPhone backups etc from 1 Laptop to another?

Hello,
I have my iPhone backed up on a crappy old laptop and want to move everything to my new laptop.
How can i do this without a) having to wipe and re-sync my phone and b) without losing all my backup data from the old laptop.
Thanks
KT

To avoid data loss, copy your entire iTunes folder from your current computer to your new one following one of the methods in this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527. Then authorize the new computer for any Apple IDs used to purchase media from iTunes or App store. Then create a new iPhone backup on your new computer by:
Before connecting your phone, open iTunes and disable automatic syncing (iTunes>Preferences>Devices>Prevent...)
Now connect your phone and right-click on its name when it appears on the left sidebar of iTunes and select Backup
When this finishes you can go back and re-enable automatic syncing if you prefer this. Also be sure to migrate your contacts and calendar to your new computer prior to syncing if you are syncing with Outlook or another supported program using iTunes. If you fail to do this you will lose your contacts and calendar.
FYI, your backups are located here:
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista/7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

How do I move all my itunes playlists from an old Dell desktop to a Dell laptop without losing anything?

My Dell desktop is on its last legs and I need to transfer all itunes playlists from it to my Dell laptop. Please help

Yes I copied the itunes folder. Before I copied it I opened up to see what was in it: album artwork, itunes, itunes media, previous itunes libraries, itunes library extras, itunes library genius, itunes library, itunes music library. After copying and pasting the itunes folder I checked my new laptop and the same files listed above copied over.
When I drill down the itunes folder to the music, it's on my new laptop. When I open itunes and click on playlists, I only have the music that I purchased from itunes. It does not include everything else I loaded into itunes and any other playlists I created.

How do I move a Premier Elements Project to a new computer?

I want to move a Premier Elements Project to a different machine with more efficient RAM and SSDs. How do I move a Premier Elements Project to a new computer?

Welcome to the Premiere Elements Forum.
I constantly migrate my Premiere Projects between my laptop, and my workstation, but I set those Projects up, initially, with that in mind - which is different than having a Project set up on one computer, and then moving it to another. For my setup (remember, this is initially, when I start a Project), see these two articles:
Setting Up Project Folders & Sub-folders
Using External HDD's for Video Editing
For existing Projects, there are a couple of ways to address this. The method that you use, might depend on how you plan on moving the Project.
If you have an external HDD, and plan to use that to do the move, see the "Using External HDD's" article above, as it talks about drive letters in the OS. Getting that correct first, can save a lot of work later.
Then, one can use the Project Archiver to Copy the Project, and necessary files to that external. When one has done that, I strongly suggest that they test that "archived Project," to make sure that the Archiver has gathered everything necessary. The success of that process can depend on how one has set up their folders and sub-folders, and where their Assets (the material that has been Imported into the Project) is located. That is why I always urge one to test everything first. Then, just plug that external HDD into the new computer. At that point, they will have two options: edit to/from the external, or Copy everything to the new computer. For the former, see that "Using External HDD's" article, as there can be some limitations, such as both HDD speed and connection speed, that can impact how well things work.
Next, one could just Copy (over a a wired, or wireless network, or via an external HDD), the Project file (PREL), all Assets, and most of the Scratch Disk folders, to the new computer.
Note: there are files in the Media Cache, such as CFA's and PEK's for the Conformed Audio, that do not have to be Copied/Moved, as PrE will rebuild those (give the program time to do so, and do not edit the Project, until they ARE rebuilt). Same for the Render Files, as if those are needed, one can easily hit Enter/Return, to Render the Timeline, or part of it, again.
Keep the folder structures.
If one gets the "Where is file _____ ?" message, this ARTICLE will be helpful.
Note that the PREL (Project) file is really an XML database. It contains NO MEDIA, but only absolute links to where that media was Imported from. See this ARTICLE for more background.
Good luck, and if you have any questions, or something above was not clear, please ask, before you make the move, as the answers might save you some time, and extra work.

Can I move an ongoing imovie project from my mac to another mac?

I would like to move my ongoing imovie project from one mac to another and then continue working with the project. Is this possible? If it is, how do I do?
/Caro

You will need an external hard drive that is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
Then you will move the Project to the external hard drive from within iMovie.
See here for instructions. http://help.apple.com/imovie/#move7d66613
Then you will use the File/Consoldate Media command to move everything else.
See here for instructions. http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3ac6c7c9
You can edit on the new Mac from the external drive, but if you prefer, you can move everything to the new Mac by using the same instructions above.

how do i migrate all my imovie projects from one computer to another

You need to attach the computers to one another say with a firewire cable? Or use an external hard drive to copy the Events/Projects and then move the hard drive to the other computer. Are you able to do either one of these first?

How do I move data on time machine from one external hard drive to another?

Although the documentation says you can copy Time Machine backups in the Finder, it's very slow and sometimes doesn't work at all.
Launch Disk Utility, open the built-in help, and search for the term "Duplicate." Follow the instructions. Turn Time Machine OFF in its preference pane while copying the volume.
