How to move a project from one Mac to another

Hi,
I started an iMovie project on my MBP but want to finish it on my more powerful iMac. I copied the project file from my MBP to my iMac, but when I start iMove, the project does not appear in my project pane.
Any idea what's wrong here?

How to move iMovie project from one computer to another

I have been working on an iMovie 09 project on my desktop at home.
Now I want to work on the same project on my computer at work.
How can I move the project from one computer to another? What I've already tried was to make a duplicate copy of the project and then use a thumb drive to move that to another computer. It didn't work.
Thanks for your help.

Hello James Snedeker,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like you want to move a file to another disk. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
iMovie: How to Save Projects to Another Hard Disk
To copy an iMovie project to another disk:
1. Quit iMovie if it is open.
2. Locate the project folder in the Finder.
3. Drag the project folder to the other disk.
Note: You must move the complete project folder, intact, to the other disk in order to successfully copy the project. The project folder has the same name as the project listed in the iMovie window. This folder includes the iMovie project file, as well as a Media folder, which contains all of the clips associated with this project. If you don't copy all of these items, the project may no longer be readable in iMovie.
Once you have copied the project, try opening it in iMovie to ensure that it copied to the other disk successfully.

How to move a project from one library to another?

I merged too many iPhoto libraries into one very large Aperture library, It takes too long to load up even though I'm using a Thunderbolt external drive. So I'm exporting some of the projects as new libraries. After doing so, I discover that some of the remainig projects in my large Aperture library really belong in one of the new libraries I created. But I haven't found a way yet to export or move such projects to the new library I created on the same external drive. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I thought I said that?
And I thought you meant that, but I was not sure, if "export the projects" implies necessarily "export as library" - it could mean "export the versions/originals from the project" and reimport them - just to be sure no offence meant.

How to move JDev project from one node to another

I have created a project on my laptop and i have designed my pages and deployed on my test server. now i want to copy these files and ftp to my system admin in another country so that he can open those files on his client JDeveloper and run and test the pages before deploying on production server.
do i need to zip the project files and send it to my admin??
if so , how can we open this project and its files on a freshly installed jdeveloper.
Thank you for your precious time to read this post.
please advise/help!

Hi,
First unzip files at <JDEV_USER_HOME>\myprojects.
When you create a new workspace and project under Jdeveloper, it will show all packages / folders that are present inside myprojects folder.
If not visible, you can go to project properties and add the folder from 'Project Content' tab.

Can i move a project from one mac to another

I have a MacBook Pro and an iMac. I would like to move a book I created on my MacBook Pro to my iMac. They are both running the most up to date iOS and software updates. Could someone please walk me through the steps?
Thanks

Books can't be copied between libraries, only Events and Albums.
Therefore you'll have to copy the entire library to your iMac and operate it as a separate library. So rename the library to something like "Book Library" before you copy it to the Pictures folder on your iMac. Then you can switch between libraries by launching iPhoto with the Option key held down.

I have no problems copying iMovie Events from one Mac to another, however, how can I copy iMovie Projects from one Mac to another?

I have no problems copying iMovie Events from one Mac to another, however, how can I copy iMovie Projects from one Mac to another? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

This should give you some good insight, I'd probably store them on an External HD on the old machine and then just drag and drop to the new machine.

Project from one mac to another

Hi
How dose one take a project from one mac to another.
On one of mac the fotage has been cut as a ruff cut and I would like to take that edited to another mac the fotage is on both mac. Is it as simple as a edl list and reconnect the fotage on the other mac.

Just copy the project file to the other Mac, and open it. Reconnect if FCP asks you to.
If you just want that single sequence, right-click the sequence in the Browser window, and choose File -> Export -> XML (version 3). Copy and import that in FCP on the other Mac. (File -> Import -> XML)

How to transfer printer settings from one Mac to another (both OSX)?

Hello, I have not found a detailed description on how to transfer printer settings from one Mac to another.
My issue is that I have a Mac G5 with 3 different settings saved as "presets" for the same printer. This works great, since the posters I print (on the large format printer) need different margins and different paper at times.
This G5 is basically retired and only used for printing. G5 has OSX 10.3.9
I have a MacPro as its replacement (OSX 10.4.11).
The MacPro has all my apps and other settings setup to my liking.
I found several links via Google saying copy this folder or directory, but I am not sure I did it correctly. I don't see the "presets".
I tried launching the Migration Assistant (I hope that's the correct name), but was concerned the settings on the new MacPro would be overwritten with ALL the old stuff on the older G5. I did not start the transfer process because of this.
If someone would list the steps needed to accomplish the transfer of printer settings or advise if this is possible, then I would be very grateful! The previous user of the G5 I am using was a "Genius" and I don't know how he created these "preset" choices.
Thanks!

Hi SCChelpdesk, and a warm welcome to the forums!
I found several links via Google saying copy this folder or directory, but I am not sure I did it correctly. I don't see the "presets".
This is the File that holds that info on Tiger, not certain on Panther...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.print.custompresets.plist
After moving, you very well might have to change the Owner's Permissions within Get Info window, then log out/in.
I tried launching the Migration Assistant (I hope that's the correct name), but was concerned the settings on the new MacPro would be overwritten with ALL the old stuff on the older G5. I did not start the transfer process because of this.
MA would transfer the info, but/and, if the user that had that info had the same Shortname as on the new one, it'll demand you give it a new Shortname to use... but then those settings would be transferred to that new user on the new machine. I think the 1st one will work though.
The previous user of the G5 I am using was a "Genius" and I don't know how he created these "preset" choices.
We can go through that way if you like... not all that hard.

Dear all ,
How to move a reports from one account to another account.
These are reports sent automatically. Unfortunately, I do not know where to find them and how to export to another account.

Hi,
You can use the Transaction SCC1 to move the data from One Client to Another Client for a Client dependent table.
The data should be present in a Transport and you can import to Transport to any client using SCC1.
Contact the Basis team to know how to use SCC1.

How to move SQL database from one location to another location i.e. from C' drive to D' drive

Hi, How to move SQL database from one location to another location i.e. from C' drive to D' drive ? please share some link.
Thanks and Regards, Rangnath Mali

Hi Rangnath,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to move databased from C drive to D drive.
You can detach Database so that the files become independent, cut and paste the files from source to destination and attach again.
There are two similar posts for your reference:

Move a site from one Mac to another without losing sites already there

I would like to move a site from one Mac to another without losing the websites that I have already built on the other Mac. Transfering the Domain file is not helping. Is there away to open the new domain file and adding those sites to the domain file associated with this copy of iWeb? I have searched the discussions but am not seeing any clear answers. They all seam to invilve new users or losing the sites already on that mac.

I seem to have solved my own problem. This may help other users. I found a tip and a web page that suggested moving the Domain File from the application support folder to another on the desktop on one of the computers and then putting the 2nd Domain File from the other computer in a separate folder on the desktop. This is because you can not change the name of the Domain File . Then by double clicking the Domain File with the site wanted, iWeb opens with that set of sites.
I started with what was to be the new master Domain File and stated a new site with a blank page. saved, did not publish and closed iWeb. Opened from the other Domain File and then clicked and opened the site and page I wanted, then selected all, copied all and closed iweb. Went back to the master Domain File , opened iWeb using that, went to the blank page and pasted in the page from the other Domain File from the other computer. Saved, closed iWeb and repeated till I had all pages. Changed the names to match the sites and Pages. I did not allow iWeb to publish during this process. Took all of 10 minutes and I now have a Domain File with all the sites in one place. I then copied this file back into its original location in Library/application support/iWeb on both computers. I now have all sites in iWeb on both computers.
