How to move imovie '08 projects and events from one macbook to another

Hi,
I need to import my movies via firewire, but can only do it through my brother's macbook, as my new macbook does not have firewire.
Therefore, I imported 100 GB worth of movies onto his computer, then transferred the iMovie Events and iMovie Projects folders onto a hard drive, then transferred them from the hard drive to MY macbook. Now they are sitting on the desk top.
How do I get them into iMovie on my macbook, now that I have transferred the files from my brother's macbook onto my macbook's desktop?
Thanks!

I guess I just needed to drag my events into my user folder ---> movie events, and then when I launched iMovie, it found them.

  • How do I transfer some folders of photo from one macbook to another? I do not want the complete library right now

    How do I transfer some photos from an external harddrive (with backup data from one macbook) to another macbook? Ideally, I'd also like to transfer albums as well that photos are linked to.  I need to do this because my macbook is broken and I need to work on photos for the holidays.  I'm not interested in transferring the full library necessarily at this time..but if that is the easiest thing to do let me know.  There are already some photos in the "new" computer's iphoto. 

    Thank you very much Terence for your input.  I successfully transferred the library and attempted to open it on my "new" mac.  However, unfortunately, I discovered the OS and iphoto have not been updated for some time so it couldn't open..argh. 
    My photos were in a 9.4.3 version of iPhoto, so it looks like to get that on this new computer I have to upgrade to snow leopard and then to Lion (not wanting to go all the way up in OS necessarily if it will slow my computer down more).  However, is there a way to open a version 9.4.3 library on an iPhoto app from snow leopard? 

  • Trying to move iMovie '11 project and event to another drive

    Hello,
    I'm trying to move some iMovie '11 projects and their associated events to another hard drive, as my start up drive is full.  I currently have projects and events on my startup drive and also on an secondary internal hard drive.  That drive along with several others, shows up in my Event Library list.  I have tried clicking on my project both with the Command key and without, to drag it to another hard drive that is listed in my Event Library.  The hard drive does not "light up" and I don't get the option to "move project or move project and events."  I've tried a reboot of the application and the computer.  No luck.  Is something wrong with my iMovie application?  Or is there something else I can try?
    Thanks!

    Here is a writeup on how to do this.

    One thing to notice is that there is an error in iMovie help. It says to drag the icon for the project to the icon for the external drive in the Event library. This is wrong. You drag the project icon to the icon for the external drive in the Project Library. For the Events, you drag the icon for the Event to the icon for the external drive in the Event Library.

  • How do I move all the apps and podcasts from one mac to another mac?

    What is the best way to move all the apps and iTunes content (songs, podcasts, etc) from one Mac to another Mac?  I am switching to a newer computer.  I connect (with cables) an iPhone 4 and an iPad 2 to the old computer for syncing.

    Take a look at this.
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    When I recently got a new MacBook, I set it up with Times Machine using a backup of the old computer. It could not have been easier. If you use Time Machine - that will copy the contents of the old Mac to the new Mac - iTunes library included. You will have to authorize the new Mac in iTunes - Store>Authorize this computer.
    There are ways of copying the purchased contents from the iPad to the new iTunes library as well if you need to do that. But as long as you have the old Mac - copying the library and putting it on the new Mac makes the most sense.

  • How do I transfer all music and videos from one computer to another?

    I need to transfer my music and videos that are in itunes from my laptop to my new desktop, and I dont want to lose anything because when I update my ipod it will be takin off, right? Please tell me how I go about doing this, thanks a bunch!!

    There are a number of things you could do. One would be to network the to computers and transfer your iTunes folder from one to another. You can also use your iPod as a hard drive and move the folder with it though that would be considerably slower than computer to computer. Here are a few links that may help you out:

    This article describes moving your music to another drive on the same computer but could be adapted to moving between networked computers: Moving your iTunes Music Folder
    Also If you are using the iPod in manual update mode, your iPod is safe from being accidentally erased when you connect to iTunes on a different computer. Change the setting before connecting it to your new PC:

  • How to move an existing Application/Package Deployment from one collection to another

    We'd like to move an Application Deployment from one collection of devices to another. Instead of just creating a new deployment (which would make the app try to reinstall) we'd like to move the existing deployment.
    Any way to do this with PowerShell?

    Creating a new deployment won't make an app try to reinstall at all. That's the whole point of the Detection method.
    For packages, clients keep track of what they've run before so a new deployment won't cause it to run again unless the program is set for it to run again.
    Ultimately, you cannot change the collection targeted by a deployment as this violates a f underlying assumptions and messes up compliance/reporting for that deployment. You need to create a new deployment which as pointed out has no down-side.

  • How can I transfer some books and music from one ipad to another without having to sync and erase the lot?

    I am trying to transfer some music and books from my ipad to my mothers ipad.   I am using a laptop that I have had to install itunes onto.  When I sselect the music I want to put onto my mothers ipad I get the message 'are you sure want to sync this ipad to this computer as it will erase all date on the ipad and replace it with this'...well something to that effect anyway.
    When I plug my ipad into it it also states that syncing will erase all data and replace it with what is on itunes as my ipad is linked to another computer (im in Hobart and my usual computer is in brisbane)
    Is there a simple way for me to add music and books on a usb stick to mothers ipad without having to lose everything taht she currently has on there?
    Any advice is greatly appreciated
    Cheers

    Backup with this User Tip, restore the library to the new computer using the same tool, keep the backup up-to-date in future. Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer need to access protected content on it.
    As to your issues with compilations albums select all the tracks, set the Album Artist to Various Artists and on the options tab set Part of a compilation to Yes. See Grouping tracks into albums for details.

  • IMovie 10 - how do I move an event from one library to another?

    Greetings,
    I have updated all of my projects and events from iMovie 9 to iMovie 10.0.1. They now all sit in different libraries on different external HDDs.
    How do I move an event from one library to another library in iMovie 10? How do I copy an event from one library to another library in iMovie 10?
    Thanks,
    John

    Simply drag and drop from one library to another.  See:  http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/#mov3fa25bae7

  • 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.

  • HT6012 While trying to update projects and events from a previous version of iMovie to iMovie '11, someone forced iMovie to quit.  Now when I start iMovie '11 and try to update, a message says no projects or events can be found?  Any suggestions?

    While trying to update projects and events from a previous version of iMovie to iMovie '11, someone forced iMovie to quit.  Now when I start iMovie '11 and try to update, a message says no projects or events can be found?  I know there are previous projects and events, and they definitely have not been updated because they do not show up in my iMovie'11 library, events, or projects.  Any suggestions?

    I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?

  • Can you move events from one drive to another easily?

    I've just bought an external firewire drive to dedicate to my Sony HD camcorder material.
    I've only imported 30 mins or so of stuff onto the Mac's internal drive with iMovie '08, and would like to know if anyone's managed to easily copy 'events' from one drive to another to merge/split content.
    Is it just a case of copying event folders from the iMovie Events folder to the external drive, but if so do you have to specify a particular path?
    Similarly, can you just move the individual 'Projects' or archive to DVD etc as they will invariably take up lots of space for longer footage? Does the projects file just hold references to the assembled clips, in which case moving events would scupper things as I seem to have several movie files in there already though these may just be things I uploaded to .Mac to test out.
    This may all be a bit of trial and error. Hopefully clips are only references unlike the pretty huge but self-contained iMovie 6 HD project packages. This also raises issues about how to easily backup all your 'events'.
    AC

    Observation:
    Just imported 15mins of video from the Sony.
    When you click import you are asked which drive to save to.
    As well as the Mac's internal drive, all my attached USB drives which are formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled) appear as targets to save to as well as teh Firewire drive.
    I selected the Firewire drive and don't recall an option to create a sub-folder. After import a new top level folder of iMovie Events was created, but no others.
    Presumably iMovie Projects/Shared folders only exist on the boot drive.
    I'm assuming that this structure will allow you to share movie Events between Macs using external drives.
    Again, an assumption but I suspect iMovie scans all available suitable hard drives and checks what content is available in top level iMovie Events folders for non-boot drives as well as this folder in the user's Movies folder.
    Rambling observations over for now.
