I'm about to transfer the contents of my existing HDD in my (dead PSU) iMac to another computer. I'm just wanting to know if and how I will be able to access my files and documents from the old hard drive once I've made the backup?

You are not going to be able to run your old system from the backup on this old computer as the hardware is incompatible.
You need to get a new computer or a refurbished one.

How do I put library on external hard drive

I want to put some of my photos in my iPhoto 6 library on my external hard drive. I've tried exporting, dragging, etc but my originals never end up on the external hard drive. How do I do this?
I'm a novice with the external hard drive. I have an iMAC, Powerbook and external hard drive. I've been putting the external hard drive on the iMAC and when I want to use it with the Powerbook then I just eject it from the iMAC and attach it to the Powerbook. How do I hook everything thing together at once? Do I just USB the Powerbook to the iMAC? Then how do I move things from one machine to the other?

If you can get the two computers connected together with an ethernet cable and get the computer with the external HD to see the other you can create a 3rd library, located on the external HD and merge the other two libraries into it to create a primary library. You will need to use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to copy the rolls of each library into the new one on the external HD like iPLMRollXfer.mp4.
Once you get the two libraries merged into the one on the external HD you can do the following on each machine to link to it:
1 - move the library from the Pictures folder to the Desktop.
2 - launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and, when asked, select the option to locate a library.
3 - navigate to the external HD and select the iPhoto Library folder there.
Once you've done that with each machine and are satisfied that the library on the external HD is complete you can delete the two libraries from the two Macs.
REMEMBER the previous is to create one library on the external HD for use by both Macs and to remove the old libraries from the Macs when done.

Create a dvd from past project and event moved to external hard drive

i have version 7.04 DVD. Moved several projects and events to external hard drive. How do I go to "existing dvd projects" and create a dvd from a completed past dvd project? do i have to move the project and event back to the iMac hard drive..thanks

A iDVD project contain links to the various elements you have used to make the project. Unless you have actually saved the project as an iDVD Project Archive (an option under FILE in iDVD) which can be a very large file because it actually contains all the elements used in the project with adjusted links, simply moving a project (and/or elements used in the project) breaks all the necessary links. Sometimes you can reestablish the links (iDVD usually gives you a chance to try), but it can't always be done.
Good luck.

I have music on my iMac and more on an external hard drive . How can I amalgamate all on my iMac?

You need to consolidate your library to a location indicated by you as the preferred media location in advanced preferences.

It should say "Change where your media files but not where your library files are stored" - more information at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22026652#22026652 - and steps 5-8 in https://discussions.apple.com/message/24491967#24491967

How do I set up iTunes to get music and movies from 2 different hard drives?

I have an iMac and a 2 TB Apple Time capsule. I am creating a disk image on the time capsule so I can use 1TB for Time Machine backups and the other 1TB as a wireless external hard drive. The main reason for this is I only have a 500GB hard drive an my iMac and I would like to store all of my movies on the Time Capsule. How do I set up iTunes to pull my music and evrything else like it currently is on my iMac's hard drive, but access my Time Capsule's hard drive for movies?
Is this even possible?
Thanks,

You need to use one iTunes library for music and another alternate library for your movies. This explains how to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589

How do i put movies on my hard drive into itunes? so frustrated please help

I just got my 80G iPod and i cant seem to figure it out. Please help.

Well my buddy has his own movies on his iPod that he did not buy from the iTunes Store(i cannot call to ask him how), and the guy at the Apple store told me that yes it is possible to put your own movies onto your iTunes by converting the movie to the right format- and he said that you can purchase Quicktime Pro and it will make it the right format- but i was wondering if there was a different way.

How do I play a DVD on my IMac and make it show on TV?

I have an Apple TV 3, IMac 22", and want to use my IMac's DVD player to play a movie and project it on the TV screen. How do I do this?

You would have to use mirroring. Native use requires a recent Mac (2011 or later) running Mountain Lion (10.8). Otherwise there are programs like Airparrot.
The native DVD is blocked, you would have to run something like VLC to display the DVD through mirroring

How can I put my recently purchased iTunes movies on to my thumb drive and WD My Passport external hard drive. My Mac keeps saying "can't be copy because it is too large for the volumes format

How can I put my recently purchased iTunes movies onto my thumb drive and WD my passport external hard drive.My Mac is saying that can't be copied because it is too large for volumes format

[file] is too large for the volumes format
That is usually an indication that the Volume was never Erased or Partitioned for GUID partition table and Mac OS, and is still in a Windows format.
Mac OS X Extended (journaled) has no such file-size limitations

NicholasLiban -
When you use the Lion restore as described, it does a fresh install on the hard drive that you can select at the beginning of the process. This provides a complete install of the very latest version of Lion, including the recovery partition. The drive that you choose for the installation destination winds up like what you would have on a brand new computer from Apple.

Many thanks lllaass,
The Touch Copy third party software for PC's is the way to go it seems and although the demo is free, if you have over 100 songs then it costs £15 to buy the software which seems not a lot to pay for peace of mind. and restoring your iTunes library back to how it was.

How do I copy a DVD to my mac, and then trim it to upload clips to YouTube? They are not copyright protected DVDs.

I am trying to take a DVD (non copyrighted) and be able to add 10 min clips of it to a YouTube Channel. How do I copy that DVD to my Mac and trim the clips I want to upload. Thank you.

Copy the DVD to your desktop, then:
You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
(unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
And from the TOU of these forums:
Keep within the Law
No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
If you are running Lion or later:
From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion onwards, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. (The same applies to Mountain Lion and Mavericks even though they have it preinstalled.) You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

How do you airplay a dvd on your imac to appletv

I have an apple Tv and want to know how I can watch a DVD from my IMAC to Apple TV to watch on my bis screen TV. Is this possible?

AFAICT, iDVD 7.1.2 should be on your machine. If not, reinstall the OS or use Pacifist to extract it from your install disc.
