How do you move iMovie 09 files over to another Mac?

I am trying to move my entire collection of imported movies and 2 projects to my larger computer. I have saved all the files in my iMovie folder on my MacBook Pro onto an external hard drive. When I try to import them onto my MacPro I get an error message that says there is nothing to import even though there are over 122GB of iMovie files on the drive. When I try to import just the projects they are unable to be selected. I am running the same version of iMovie on both computers.
Thanks

If you find that the HomePage sites don't work correctly in the new location put them back and then just link to them from an iWeb site. They can be anywhere.

    how do you open a Numbers file sent from another Mac user with same operating system, i get a pop up that says I'm missing an index.hml file??? HELP PLEASE

    The operating system may be the same but the Numbers applications are likely different.  You need to get the apps in sync.  Unfortunately, the Numbers (and Pages as well) saga is pretty confusing (and frustrating).  Here's some info from the iWork resident version expert (PeterBreis0807):
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs.

  • How do you move iMovies from MacBook Pro to iMac?

    How do you move iMovies from MacBook Pro to iMac?  I started some projects on my MacBook Pro but would rather have the larger working area provided on the iMac large 27 inch screen. 

    Hi there rainyri!
    The easiest way for you to do this is to transfer the information to an external drive as an intermediary, then transfer the information from your drive to the internal drive on your iMac. We have an article that explains the steps for doing this, and it can be found here:

    Pictures can appear in any number of albums.
    To move from one album to another, add the picture to the new album and then right click on the picture, select Remove from album and then select the album you want to remove it from.

  • How do you move pictures from one catalog to another?

    How do you move pictures from one catalog to another?  I have just got the program and have moved pictures into the default catalog. I have now created several new catalogs and want to move pics from the default into the new catalogs. I don't see this answer in the general help or my "dummies" book.

    It's not a good idea to create multiple catalogs. For one thing, this defeats the purpose of the Organizer as a way to search for and find your photos; the search can only operate within a single catalog. Also, there are no functions in PSE that work across multiple catalogs. And even though you can "manually" combine the catalogs if you so desire, you lose information such as collection/album membership, stacks, version sets, creations and a few other things.

  • How do you unzip a Word File on an older MAC mini?

    How do you unzip a Word File on an older MAC mini?

    On older Macs .docx files can look like a zip file. This is because they contain a proprietary form of XML compressed using ZIP.
    If you have an older version of Office for Mac, i.e. Office 2004 which predates .docx format files, then you can install a free addon to allow it to import and export .docx files.

  • How do you move Compressor 3.05 settings from one Mac to another?

    How do you move settings from one Mac to another?
    I have Compressor 3.05 installed on two Intel Macs: a MacPro tower and a MacBook Aluminum. I created a new setting on the MacBook, and can see it in Library -> App Support -> Compressor as "<name>.setting" Then I moved to the Mac Pro for speed and created a few more settings. I copied these settings from the Mac Pro libary and put them in the MacBook library; restarted Compressor on the MacBook but still cannot see those presets from within Compressor. I hate to re-create all those settings, but I do move between both computers depending on what I am doing.
    What am I missing? Thanks.

    To copy single settings.
    1. Drag & Drop your setting from the Compressor Settings window to i.e. the desktop
    2. Copy .setting file to an other Mac
    3. Drag & Drop the .setting file(s) over to the Settings window in Compressor
    To copy settings groups (folders)
    1. Go to */Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/Compressor*
    2. Copy the settings group folder you want to your i.e. the desktop
    3. Make sure Compressor is not open on the other Mac
    4. Copy the settings group folder to the same location on the other Mac
    5. Open Compressor
    Hope this helps

  • How do you move all iTunes files to an External Harddisk?

    I have been reading, and trying to understand, all post in this forum on how to move all space consuming iTunes files to an external Harddisk. And quite frankly, I am a bit confused. Well that and most posts are from 2008 and earlier.
    Here is my task:
    Currently I have my iTunes on my PC Labtop. All music files, movie files and everything i located on this labtop, and now i am running out of storage space!
    I then proceeded to buy a WD External network 3TB harddisk on which I would like to move all my iTunes files. For one because i am running out of storage, but also to have it available to other PCs on my network.
    I followed the instructions but it did not work. All my music dissapeared from iTunes. I moved, consolidated, redirected as per instructions in Apple document, but still?
    I have latest version of iTunes and a very large amount of music and movies.
    Can anyone give me an understandable, straight forward instruction and explanation on how to do this and make it work?
    Please, and thanks.

    Is your library working now? If not can you recall exactly what steps you have taken? You may need to unwind a few of them.
    The easy way to move your library from its normal location of <User's Profile>\<User's Music>\iTunes is to simply copy the entire iTunes folder, and all its subfolders, to a new path, e.g. X:\iTunes, where X is the drive letter of the external drive. Having copied the data across you can then hold down the shift key as you click the icon to start iTunes and keep it held until you are asked to create or choose a library. Click choose and navigae to X:\iTunes, then open the file iTunes Library.itl inside it. Job done.
    There is a minor "gotcha" if your library is based on the old pre-iTunes 9 layout that will break links to iPod Games/Mobile Applications but this can be avoided if you use the option File > Library > Organize Library... > Reorganize files in the folder "iTunes Media" before copying the library. Your library should also be consolidated before the move, that is all your media files should be inside the iTunes Media  (or iTunes Music) folder which in turn should be inside iTunes.

  • How do you move Premiere Elements files (scratch disk) when upgrading OS

    Hi,
    I have just upgraded from Windows Vista 32bit to Windows 7 64bit.
    I had to uninstall Premiere Elements 7 to deactivate, so I could reinstall, however now when  I open all my projects it says media offline, please locate. I thought all my scratch disk were set up to 'same as project' but can not seem to locate the files in the same folder.
    I have hours worth of footage captured through Premiere, any ideas where I will find this captured footage, or the file type at least so I can search my computer? I have all my old folders etc saved in windows.old folder that is created when you upgrade OS, so it must be in there somplace???
    Please help!!!

    I use a pretty simple setup for my Projects, also grouped by client. The exact layout will depend on whether I will be doing all of the editing on one machine, or will be migrating from computer to computer, via a FW-800 external. After that decision is made, my scheme looks like this:
    Root folder = Client Name
         Sub-folder = Project Name
    beneath these, I have:
              Videos
              Stills
              Music
              Audio
              SFX
              Capture Files
              Finished AVI's
              Finished AC3's
              and all Scratch Disks
    For ultimate performance, one could separate out the Scratch Disks, and maybe even all Video and then all Audio, to separate HDD's, but this method keeps things neatly together, so that the entire Project can be deleted, when done - just delete the Project folder, and all of the sub-folders will go with it.
    If I will be migrating, this layout will be on the external, which has had its drive letter assigned in the OS of each computer, so that it appears the same in each. If no migration, then these will be placed on an internal, probably E:\ on any of the computers.
    Good luck, and glad that you found your "missing" files,

    what a bs ckuan, getting a virus from a mp3?? from a mp3 that is not from an unknown source and already on ur computer??
    its not a "feature", its one of many failures of apple. they try to set new standards everywhere and force u to use their software (itunes) instead of an easy drag & drop.
