  • How to migrate iTunes Library from an external hard drive to a new Mac Book Pro?

    How to migrate iTunes and iPhoto librarys from an external hard drive to a MacBook Pro?

    With iTunes:
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in
    iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
    Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music:  Copy the whole iTunes folder and all its subfolders and files intact to Home > Music on your computer. It will replace the one that may already be there and anything you have in it will be lost -- you could give the folder a different name just in case, and delete it yourself later.  Unplug the external and start iTunes.

  • How do I open my imovie files from an external hard drive on a new computer

    I'm trying to open my files from an external harddrive and the I don't know how to open it on another computer...the "event" files are confusing and I can't open a file of imovie 08....thanks!

    If you used the Finder to move the files, iMovie will have lost track of them. iMovie holds the locations of the Event files, and Project files contain references to those locations. If you move the files, iMovie has no way of knowing where they are.
    If you can, first move all the files back to their original locations. Plug in the external drive. Open iMovie and move the files in iMovie's interface (help explains how, but basically, just drag and drop in the event pane).
    Then you can connect the drive to the new computer, and iMovie will see them.

  • How to copy referenced photos from dodgy external drive to new drive when whole file will not copy due to error 36.

    My external WD portable passport drive must be dodgy because I can't back it up or clone it or copy 3 of my 22 photo files to a new portable drive. I get error 36 as I attempt all 3 processes. I have copied my iPhoto library, iMovie events and most of my aperture referenced photos to the new drive. But cannot copy 3 files that contain the corrupted files showing just a grey triangle. I cannot delete or move to trash the corrupted raw photos.
    How can I copy to the new drive any photos that aren't corrupted (grey triangle instead of photo or a photo that's just coloured horizontal broken lines) so I can then reconnect the referenced photos after copying them?
    I am on late 2008 MacBook Pro with lion,
    Many thanks
    Bw

    I've worked out how to copy and reconnect individual photos.
    But can see that what's happening is that heavily edited raw photos are taking ages to load. Or not loading at all. And if opened go to the spinning wheel for 5-10 minutes. I am wondering whether to compress these or take them back to the originals or any other ideas would be very welcome.
    Thank you

  • How do I delete photos from an external hard drive before downloading to my new Mac?

    I have a Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex external hard drive that has all my photos from my old computer on it  Because there are thousands, I want to delete a bunch of them before downloading onto my new Mac.  However, when I click on the photos, they say "locked."  Once I have the photos trimmed down, how do I get the to download to my Mac?

    Don't touch that one !
    I was hoping that in addition to that there should be another device listed, namely the USB External HD you've got plugged into the USB port. It should show up something like this:

  • How do I transfer my music from an external hard drive to my new computer?

    I have downloaded itunes but it would take for ever to individually copy each song & regroup them into genres.  Before I got rid of my old computer I copied itunes on an external harddrive as well as my entire playlist.  I thought I could just sync my ipod nano to the new itunes program but apperently not. 

    Did you import the music on the external hard drive into your iTunes library on your new PC or point iTunes at the location of your library stored on the external hard drive?
