How to move iMovie files from OS9 to OSX?

I need to move files from an old iMac running OS9 (9.2.1) to an Intel Mac running OS X (10.6.4). The iMac does have firewire, if that’s helpful. Would target disk work for this task? I believe the files are iMovie and iMovie2.
My goal is editing in iMovie09; I don’t know if iMovie9 can recognize files that old. I’ve read about folder structure changes… So, I guess my question is twofold: does the OS have anything/more/less to do with this, than the iMovie version does? Or is the OS irrelevant here?
I don’t know where to begin. I hope there’s a simple safe solution and I’m making this more complicated than it needs to be.
Any help appreciated.

You must move the Event files from within iMovie to your external drive. If you move them in the Finder, your project will no longer work.
First, make sure your external drive is formatted as HFS+ (journalled), (or Mac OS (journalled) - same thing)
Second, in iMovie, select VIEW/EVENTS BY VOLUME
Third, in the EVENTS Source List, you should now see your hard drive. Drag and drop the Events onto the Drive Icon in the Events Source List.
Leave the Project Files where they are. They are not very big. If you upgrade to iMovie 09, you can move the Project files, too.

How to move PDF file from Spool to Application Server?

How to move PDF file from Spool to Application Server?
Cannot use RSTXPDFT4 because that converts OTF to PDF and the file is already PDF.
RSTXPDFT5 doesn't work. It picks the file up and assigns it a 'text' type and outputs a 1 line txt (1kb in size) on the server with the spool number in it!
The program which outputs the file to the spool, in the first place, uses adobe forms and outputs to a printer of type PDF.

Just drag the file from the Download folder to the folder of your choice in Finder. If you are using Safari you can designate a new default download destination in Safari>Preferences>General tab, 'Save Downloads to...'. Other browsers should have a similar option in their preferences.

How to extract iMovie files from an archived iDVD project

Hi,
After archiving an iDVD project which contained several individual iMovies to my back up hard disk I deleted all of the individual files on my internal HD to free some space.
Query: Is it possible to extract an individual iMovie file from the archived project for future editing revealing all of the transitions, audio tracks, etc back in iMovie ?
I have used 'show package contents' and can see the individual movies as Quick Time files but when I load these into iMovie all I get is the whole movie as one single clip.
I suspect the answer is once it's archived I cannot retrieve the iMovie files ?
Any help appreciated. Many thanks.

...I ..can see the individual movies as Quick Time files but when I load these into iMovie all I get is the whole movie as one single clip. I suspect the answer is once it's archived I cannot retrieve the iMovie files ?
that is correct: hitting "export" or share in iM creates a single movie(file); what you have in mind is the imovie project (e.g. where you can change titles, transitions etc)... to make this accessible you need to backup that iM folder/package (the one with a star)... these files are for sure much bigger = containing more data...

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.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,
Mario

How to move all files from a folder for a user to a centralized folder on a core server

Hello,
I'm curious if there is a batch file that can be made to move the contents that are setup like this....
I'm having to redo a TS cluster and I'd like to make a batch file script that can be executed that moves the contents of say 'jsmith's local desktop profile @ \\NGTTS1\users\jsmith to a centralized folder on our roaming desktop profile server that saves
all of the files for the desktops @ \\NGTFS1\users\jsmith.
The problem I have is no matter what I tell users to save there files to our Y drive that is a folder that is synced across all 6 of our TS servers, users still store files on there desktops, so as you can imagine if one day they are on one server, then
next day they could be on another and there files aren't the same.... hence the reason why I want to move all there files to the centralized server so when I redo the profiles from scratch on the TS server in the farm they suck files from the core server and
have all of the files they are used to having....
Now I know I can do this with a MOVE command I've just never done one to this exact.
Hopefully someone knows the command to move all the contents of one folder on one server to the folder on a different server. I've already got the bulk of the coding done of the .bat script I just don't know this move command:
would it be this:
move \\NGTTS1\users\jsmith *.* \\NGTFS1\users\jsmith
any help would be appreciated, I'm sure this is a easy command to do!
This is the coding I have so far....
@echo off
color 0A
title Moving Local Profile folder to Centralized Profile Folder on Core Server.
:start
echo Welcome, %USERNAME%
echo What would you like to do?
echo.
echo 1. Moving Local Profile folder to Centralized Profile Folder on Core Server

In Windows we would do this using Group Policy. There is a Policy setting that csn move the Desktop folder to any server you want to move it to. Once set it will automatically do this for you.
You should post in the Group Policy forum to find out how we use Group Policy to manage users profiles in Windows.
You cannot use a script to relocate a users Desktop folder. The desktop is locked by the time the users logon script is finished running. It the desktop and profile are already being managed by Group Policy then this can only be done with GP.
There are also numerous issues associated with deployment and re-deployment that you need to address Post your questions in the Winows Deployment forum to get assistance with deployment issues.
Again - want you are asking is not generally possible because of how Windows is designed. This would only likely work on a simple system or on a stand alone PC and then only under a very limited set of circumstances.
Use GP folder redirection to do this. For deployment use Deployment Forum and for TS specific issues post in the RDS forum.
All of this needs to be considered correctly for TS users inn a TS Cluster environment. (TS Cluster?? - not sure what you mean by that.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How to move all files from a folder for a user to a centralized folder on a core server with a GP

Hello,
I was curious if someone know how to move all the files of a user "local" profile on a Terminal Server to that of a centralized server where the "local" profile of like the user desktop, favorites, setting, etc are stored in the event
the local profile on the TS become corrupt it can pull from this server...
The problem I have is no matter what I tell users to save there files to our Y drive that is a folder that is synced
across all 6 of our TS servers, users still store files on there desktops, so as you can imagine if one day they are on one server, then next day they could be on another and there files aren't the same.... hence the reason why I want to move all there files
to the centralized server so when I redo the profiles from scratch on the TS server in the farm they suck files from the core server and have all of the files they are used to having....
So I was curious and I've heard from some this is possible in a GP, but I'd like to move the contents of all 6 TS for
each user or if I have to d this on per user basis I will, just looking for a way to move the files....

Hi Trevor,
To move all users’ desktop to a server, we can use Folder Redirection to do this. The path for Folder Redirection is:
[Group Policy Object Name]\User Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Folder Redirection
In this situation, we can choose to redirect desktop to the root of a network file share or a folder on a network share.
Regarding how to configure this, the following article can be referred to for more information.

How to move iTunes files from MBP to MBA?

I have an older MPB (mid-2009) and an new MBA (late-2010). Planning on getting a new MBA after Mountain Lion comes out sometime in July.
That means moving files from the MPB and the MBA over to the new MBA at some point.
In preparation of that I want to get all my iTunes files onto the current MBA. Trouble is that I have used both the MBP & MBA to import music or videos as well as purchases into iTunes on both.
Without totally screwing things up what is the best way to get iTunes files (purchased or imported) from one Mac to the other without losing or corrupting things?
I already have a problem that there are movies on my iPhone4 that will not remove even though they are not checked when I sync.
How do you join iTunes from 2 Mac's? Do you have to deauthorise one?
Thanks for any help. I don't want to get things more confused than they already are.

99% of downloads are from my US iTunes account so those rules should apply. What I'm wondering now is the comment about only 2 downloads.
The entire process is in advance of a new MBA. I had thought it would be easier to get things moved from the MPB over to the MBA before I got the new MBA. Now it seems maybe I should wait it out, get the new MBA then moved things from both the MBP and older MBA over to the new laptop.
Because Apple does changes to machines I have the older MBP with an older external HD that matches its connections. (Things from the MPB include transfers from the old MacBook). Then I have the MBA with its external HD using a different connection because it only has a USB.
With the new MBA I'll have maybe a completely different external HD because its connections are Thunderbolt.
See where I'm headed with this?
It's the process of getting everything from the old MBP & external, the new MBA & external ... all moved over to the mid-2012 MBA & external. Included in all of that is a huge amount in information. Music along is over 400 GB. Think we all are going to have the same issue as the Mac's upgraade and change.

How to move a file from one internal drive to another

I have a Mac Pro with 10.6. My main drive is a 240 GB SSD. I would like to move files from it to another internal drive to free up space on the SSD. The only way I can figure out to do it is to copy a file to the other internal drive and then move it from the SSD to the trash and empty the trash. Is there a better way? TIA.

That's the way I would do it.

How to move .plist files from /Library/Preferences

Hi,
We are trialing using software called Deep Freeze to take a snap shot of the OS that is restored upon reboot thus removing the majority of configuration changes and thus reducing the amount of support calls.
When setting up the software you have the option to create a "Thaw Space" that users can modify at will and the changes will persist over the reboot. Upon creating this space you are able to "map" certain directories such as Documents, Desktop and Library to the Thaw Space.
Initially we did not move the Library folder over so that all changes to wallpapers/screensaves/dock/finder toolbar etc. were restored upon reboot, which ultimately is what we wanted to do from the beginning. This however produced a number of problems of data not being retained over the reboot when we needed it to:
- iCal data
- application specific settings (eg. toolbar settings in neooffice)
- sorting email in apple mail by a field (eg. receive date)
etc. And are continually finding new problems.
So in the end we simply set the entire Library to be mapped to the Thaw Space, however this sets us back to square one in that the users can still change the dock, screensaver, wallpaper etc.
It is my understanding that the files are stored in .plist files in <user>/Library/Preferences. I tried moving individual .plist files out of the Thaw Space and then creating alias files pointing to them, however these were simply deleted and replaced on reboot.
So my question is how would I go about moving a .plist file out of /Library/Preferences
Cheers

It would seem to me that the problem lies with the Deep Freeze software. Changing system files in system directories is not a good idea. Why not contact Deep Freeze and have them fix their software rather than possibly mucking up your own OS.
I would also recommend that you either update your profile or your OS. 10.5.1 had some bugs that were fixed over the years. It's always good to have the latest OS installed.

New MacBook-How to move some files from Old iBook

Hello All ...
I just got a new MacBook and I would like to move a few things over from my old iBook.
Mostly I need all my mail stuff and be able to connect to the internet and such. The rest would be files, pictures and other documents ...
What would be the best way to do this ... does migration assistant do it well or should I do it manually? How do I get to migration or setup assistant and should I do it right away or after.
Should I set up my network connections on my new MacBook first and forget about trying to transer everything from my old iBook. I heard that the less you move over the better ..
Any tips or info much appreciated .... thanks

Hi Neil ...
thanks for the reply ...
If I move over my user account ... that's pretty well everything inside it... isn't it? .... Is that good?
For example ... I have Microsoft Office 2001 on there ... and I plan on installing and using 2004.
Would that be an application I should delete before using migration ?

How to move referenced files from 1 EHD to another EHD

I have an ap lib of 100,000 images/videos stored on a gdrive 2 TB. I want to move them to a Drobo 5d and don't know how. I have my aperture library set up exactly the way i have it set up on my gdrive. Do I use 2 finder windows to drag all of my projects from the gdrive to the Drobo? If so, do I also drag the aperture library folder? If I do this how will aperture know to look for the files on the new Drobo 5d and not the gdrive? Or do I have to go into each individual project in aperture and relocate the originals to the new Drobo 5d? This seems like it would take forever. What I want to accomplish is to have all of my images and the metadata, geotags, edits etc associated with these images on the new Drobo 5d. I greatly appreciate any help on how to do this. Thank you

A BIG thank you for all to respond. As I am not techie at all I find this process intimdating bc I have worked so long to create large ap lib i currently have. I have spent the last week reading and re-reading many posts and tips from this site and the ap manual. I am curently running a repair of library permissions and whenever that finishes i am going to relocate my originals to the new EHD (drobo 5d).
So, there is one thing I am confused about. I will go to photos ( 115,000) select all go to file, relocate masters. Now, the scary part for me: How do I ensure that the same project structure I currently have in aperture gets "relocated" to the new EHd? For example, in my library I have 1660 projects of which 90 percent are organized as 2013_06_07 , 2013_06_06, etc the remaining 10 precent are by names, ex Vacation Ireland 2012. i also have various albums. In the relocate origianls menu how do I ensure that they relocate in the same structure? I dont know which options to choose
? Subfolder? Custom subfolder? Name format? Custom name?
I just want all the images to move over with all their keywords, geotages, ratings, etc and staye in the same projects they are currently in.
I fear that you have already answered this for me and i have failed to fully understand....thank you

How to: move .pdf files from Downloads to a selected folder

I'd like to move all PDF files in my Downloads folder to an arbitrary folder that I select in the Finder.
Can I do this with Automator? How?
I haven't figured out how to set the selected target folder in the workflow.
John

Thanks, Niel, though I underspecified the problem a bit because I knew how to do the rest in Automator; unfortunately, I know even less about Applescript.
How do I also specify that the file names must begin with a specific text string (e.g. "journal.").
