How to run imovie files off external hd

So I have a SSD Mac book pro 120G. and iMovie 10.0.6 has used a very large portion of that space.
Can iMovie run off files from my external HD?
Thanks!

How to store iMovie files on external drive?

I'd like to store large video files on an external drive, but iMovie seems to automatically import everything onto my internal hard drive.
1) Can I set it to automatically import to an eternal drive?
2) If not, which files can I safely move to an external to free up space on the internal drive?
3) Should I move the raw files to an external before I edit them, or after?
4) In any case, my general question is how to conserve space on my internal drive by using an external drive for iMovie files?

Get an external drive and make sure it is formatted as HFS+ (journalled) or MacOS Extended (journaled) (two ways of saying the same thing. If the external drive is formatted as FAT32, iMovie will not recognize it.
You can reformat if necessary using the Disk Utility.
When you import from your videcamera, you can select your External Drive as the target of the import.
If you have Event Files that are already on your internal drive, you can move them to the external drive, but you must do this from within iMovie. If you move the events using the Finder, your projects that link to these events will be broken.
To move the Events from within iMovie, select VIEW/EVENTS BY VOLUME.
In your Events Source Pane, you should see all your Events and also an icon for your external drive. Drag an Event icon to the hard drive icon, and it will move the Event to the hard drive, and automatically place it into the proper folder on the external drive so that iMovie can recognize it.
Leave Projects on your internal drive. If you upgrade to iMovie 09, it allows projects to be on the external drive, too. Project files are generally pretty small, though. Your video footage is in the events.

How to run iphoto 08 off external drive?

Hi - I'm trying to clear space on my 60 gig power book g4 and was wondering if I can run iphoto off an external drive (where I would house many - but not all - photos). Currently, copying the photos to the drive loses all the iphoto info. Thanks for any help - and I'm open to suggestions as to other methods to clear off hard drive. (Have the same with itunes - I lose all the info when I "copy" files to the external drive). Thanks!

Quit iPhoto and drag your iPhoto library to the external drive (just one big drag - do not drag components)
Then launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) key and point use the select library option to point to the external drive - verify your library on the external drive by using it for a while and then you can delete the iPhoto library on your internal drive or you can switch back to it and delete some photos by using iPhoto to move them to the iPhoto trash and emptying the iPhoto trash
DO NOT delete photos or otherwise modify your iPhoto Library using the finder or you will corrupt your library and lose data
You may find that iPhoto library manager is useful in managing multiple libraries - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/

I have a G4 Quicksilver that no longer works, but the hd may still be good. How can I get files off the G4 hd and onto my new iMac?

I have a G4 Quicksilver 2001 that no longer works, but the hd may still be good. How can I get files off the G4 hd and onto my new late 2013 iMac?

Also, how do I boot the G4 into FireWire Target Disk mode?
First, the G4 must be able to start to use FWTDM. If it can start, hold the t key at boot until you get a "screensaver pattern" that looks like this:
If the G4 is attached via a FireWire cable to a newer Mac with a FireWire port, the G4's hard drive will appear on the other Mac's desktop just as if it were any external drive. A USB cable won't work for FWTDM.
Just wondering if the drive in my G4, which I believe may be an ATA drive will also work in an enclosure for a SATA drive?
No. ATA (actually "PATA" or "IDE") and SATA are different interfaces. PATA external enclosures are now very hard to find. You best and least expensive option is the adaptor that BDAqua linked. One of its connectors is for PATA drives.

How to run .exe files with Virtual PC for Mac

Hey Guys, I'm new around here and with mac technology as well. Anyway, I have an iMac OS X 10.5.1 Leopard and I've recently purchased the Virtual PC for Mac 7.0.2 software. So I'd like to know how to use this program properly, because I need to run some executable files in my computer. It is confusing for me because I don't know how to get started, and I only get to the part when it says "OS not found, Install an OS on this hard drive".
Honestly I've no idea of what an OS is or where do I get that. So I'd really appreciate if one of you guys could tell me, step by step, what to do to use Virtual PC properly, and finally learn how to run .exe files on mac.
Thanks in advance!
Have a nice day!

Always nice to see new faces
Honestly I've no idea of what an OS is or where do I get that.
This brings up the second part of your problem. The first part is setting up either a proper Virtual Machine program like Parallels or VMfusion, or setting up a Boot Camp partition on your drive.
http://www.parallels.com/
http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/
OS stands for Operating System. You are running Leopard 10.5.7 as an operating system on your Mac (MacOS X).
The second part of your problem - You will need a copy of Windows XP or Vista if you want to run Windows on your Mac.
There is at least one other solution for running Windows programs on a Mac. It's called "CrossOver" by a company named 'Codeweavers'. It's based on a project for "Wine" to be able to run PC programs on a Mac or Linux, without having to buy or install Windows. It works with a narrow subset of Windows programs so you would want to make sure the program you want to run is compatible with CrossOver before you buy it.
http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/
In addition to all the above information, you need to upgrade your Mac to the latest 10.5.7 from 10.5.1. "Software Update" is located under the black Apple icon in the Menu Bar at the top left corner of your monitor. After you are updated you will want to update your Profile here so that it shows the proper OS version.
With your level of experience with MacOS X and the Windows OS's you should probably get some help from a local Apple store. They have an appointment system and do offer many types of help and training, and they can offer assistance with choosing the proper programs for you to purchase for your machine.
You are also welcome to continue to ask questions here, of course. You will want to ask your questions with different issues that come up in different threads so that the answers stay focused on the title of the thread.

My comment is Valid... " .exe files will not run natively on Mac OS X..."
I am sorry. I had the false impression that it was commonly known that .exe files did not run on Mac OSX natively and failed to see any constructive critique you were bringing. Maybe I am wrong. Again deepest apologies.
Unfortunately... these days... not every one is aware of this .exe fact..
Apology accepted.. and Thank You..
