How do I transfer imovie projects and events to new mac from external hard drive

bought a macbook pro retina. backed up 3yr old macbook pro to external hard drive. how do I transfer imovie projects and events to new mac? thanks!

Hi dalbatross,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Did you set up your new computer by creating a Time Machine backup and restoring from it?
If so, the Events and Projects that were on your internal Macintosh HD would copied to your new computer.
Here is another way to copy the events & projects to the new computer from the external drive:
iMovie Help: Work with multiple libraries
http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/#mov3fa25bae7
Copy or move projects, events, or clips between libraries or hard disks
Connect a hard disk that contains the target library to your computer, or copy the target library to your computer.
Choose File > Open Library, and choose an option from the submenu.You can choose from recently opened libraries at the top of the submenu, locate an existing library on your computer, or create a new library.
The selected library is opened in the Libraries list, with the first event selected and its contents displayed in the browser.
In the Libraries list, select the event that contains the item you want to move or copy.
In the browser, select the item you want to move or copy.Note: To select multiple items, hold down the Command key as you click the items you want to select, or drag a selection rectangle around the items.
Do one of the following:
To move items between events or libraries: Drag the clip or project to another event or library.
To copy items between events or libraries: Option-drag the clip or project to another event or library by first starting to drag and then holding down the Option key as you drag.
Cheers,

I have aperture 3.2.4 on my laptop and have the serial number, but just bought a new MAC and I can't get the Ver 3.0 link to work. Anyone know how to move it from my laptop to our new mac?

I have aperture 3.2.4 on my laptop and have the serial number, but just bought a new MAC and I can't get the Ver 3.0 link to work. Anyone know how to move it from my laptop to our new mac?

I am talking about the Ver 3 download link that came with the purchase email.
That link is no longer available. Use "Migration Assistant" to copy your Applications from your old mac to the new Mac, then immediately run software update. Aperture Version 3.2 will not run on your new mac with Mavericks, you will have to Upgrade to version 3.4.5 at least - you can download this update from the Support page: Aperture 3.4.5
Then launch Aperture and enter your registration key and try now too update from version 3.4.5 to 3.5 from the AppStore. The AppStore will change your Aperture registration to an AppStore version, so you will able to reinstall by downloading from the AppSTore in future.
If you want transfer only Aperture and no other applications, do it manually: You will have to copy not only the application but folders from the libraries as well:
/Applications/Aperture.app
/Library/Application Support/Aperture/
~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/

Pre-ordered Macbook Air, how do I transfer my DV Camera videos the new Mac?

Okay, I just pre-ordered a new Macbook Air to complement my Mac Pro...
There is one problem though...
I bought the Air so I can start editing the video I shot while on the go, so if there's no Firewire support to the Air, how do I transfer the videos that I recorded from the DV Tape to Macbook Air?
Do I actually have to buy a new tapeless camcorder?
(note: I was planning on buying a new HD tapeless camcorder, but at later time... But if Macbook Air cannot connect to any Mini DV camera, do I have to buy the new camera early?)

Hi there! Don't cancel that order just yet...
Firstly, as already stated, Firewire cameras won't work with the Air. So you'll be needing one of those shiny new tapeless cameras.
As for how much space HD video takes up, it depends on what format the camera shoots in.
iMovie '08 works great with the latest tapeless cameras that shoot on SD cards, in the AVCHD format. A great example is the Panasonic HDC-SD1, or the SD5 and SD9.
These cameras can fit up to 6 hours of footage onto a 16gb SD-HC card. So, as long as you have about 16gb of space left on your MacBook Air's hard drive, you'll be able to fit about 6 hours of footage. Of course, this will vary depending on what quality setting you shoot in.
Once you're done with your edit, do you need to keep that video on your MacBook Air's drive? Probably not- consider archiving it to a usb hard drive, or even a wireless network drive. Or just delete it once you've burned to dvd via a usb dvd-burner, or uploaded it to the internet. Viola- you've freed up enough room for your next project.
If you're going to be using your notebook for editing all the time, then definitely consider either the MacBook or the MacBook Pro. But for occasional editing, the Air will do just fine.
As always, it depends on your needs.

How do I transfer non-purchased songs to a new mac?

Does anyone know how can i transfer non-purchased content into itunes? Thanks for the help

Unless you're able to restore them from the hard drive, you'll need to either do so from a backup or reload them from the original source.

How do I transfer my iTunes Library to my new Mac while keeping all of my playlists/settings??

I recently bought a new MacBook and have had a very hard time trying to transfer my iTunes Library because I can't figure out how to do so without losing all of the specific info/settings! Is there any way to transfer my iTunes library so it appears on my new Mac exactly as it did on my old one? For example, checked and unchecked songs, my playlists, the date added/play count/etc information on songs. I can copy the entire iTunes library with a shared file, but then I lose that information. Please help!

Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder.
If you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

How do I transfer my Imovie files to my new Mac?

Last night I received my brand new Imac and transferred the contents from my 2008 Imac using Time Machine BU. Everything seemed in order until I opened Imovie on the new Imac and couldn't see any of my Imovie events.
I then hooked the two computers together using an ethernet cable and used the migration feature to do the same thing.
Now it appears all my data has transferred twice( the 1 TB hard drive is almost full and the Imovie files are still not on the new Mac.
Can anyone advise me?

Click here and follow the instructions to move the files; to connect the computers together, hook them up with a FireWire cable and start up one with the T key held down.

Hi Perilman,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that all of your iTunes media is on an external hard drive and you would like to move that media onto your new Windows computer hard drive. The following article has step by step instructions for this specifically. Part 5 in the External drive section is probably what is going to be most relevant to you.

How do I transfer my iTunes stuff to my new mac?

just bought a new pro this week , how do i put all of my itunes stuff so that when i plug our iphones into this computer we won't have to completely start from scratch with the iphones. is this even possible?

SInce you gave very little info, I will have to guess. It depends n what your old computer was.
If you had a Mac before, then migration assistant, which comes with every Mac, is designed to do this very thing.
If you have a pc, the the Apple store will move your info over for you, or you could call Apple support and they will help you do it.
You can use your backup copy to move the music to the new computer.

2. if acrobat standard, dl from your vendor. if pro, and if you follow all 7 steps, you can dl a trial via one of the links on this page: http://prodesigntools.com/tag/ddl

if you have a dl problem, you didn't follow all 7 steps. typically, failure to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 is the problem.

You should call Apple Support and give them your Apple ID so that they can verify how many photos you actually do have backed up in iCloud...
Also, are you able to do an iTunes backup at all? Because that would save all of the photos and allow you to get them onto the new device.
Apple Support number is

How do I transfer my itunes library to a new computer from my iPhone. The old one no longer works.

How do I transfer my itunes library to a new computer from my iPhone. The old computer no longer works.

You should be able to:
Backup the device to the new installation
Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!
