How to use iMovie 08 imported footage on another computer in iMovie 09?

I had to import quite a lot of video from tape and had only firewire 400 cable so did it on a Mac running iMovie 08.
Now, how can I move the imported data to another computer using iMovie 09?
When I open iMovie 09, I can see the disk on the other computer (over the LAN) but how can I get iMovie 09 to recognise and use the data that iMovie 08 has imported?

You can use these files, but the first time you open them in iMovie 09, they will be upgraded so they will no longer work in iMOvie 08. New cache and thumbnails files will be created.
It is probably not working now because, for performance reasons, iMovie 09 will not work with a network drive. There are workarounds involving symbolic links. But you still have to deal with the performance issue.
So, do you want these files to still work in iMovie 08?
*If no...*
Simple drag and drop these Event Folders to a locally attached external drive that is formatted as MacOS Extended (journaled). They should be placed in a folder called iMovie Events at the top level of the drive. Attach this drive to the computer with iMovie 09, and start iMovie 09.
Note: You could also move these files to your internal hard drive if you have plenty of room. In this case, they go in the Movies/iMovie Events folder.
*if yes..*.
Attach a properly formatted external drive to the computer with iMovie 08. In the finder, copy (not move) the Event folders to folder named "iMovie Events" at the top level of the drive.
Also, if you have created projects from your imported footage (the events), and you want to port your projects to iMovie 09, it gets a little more complicated. Let me know.

  • How do use my itunes library in another computer

    I have an itunes account and a library on my pc at work, but when i try to accede to my library on itunes on my personal computer it doesn´t work.
    What should I do?
    on both pc's I have windows xp.
    Best regards
    Elisabete Gomes

    You need to explain what you are doing more clearly.
    If you want to use the same music library on two PCs, you need to have iTunes installed on both PCs, the same "iTunes Library.itl" file on both PCs and the same music files in the "iTunes music" folder.
    This article form Apple gives a method of copying music between two PCs using your iPod:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173
    Both PCs must also be authorised in order to play music purchased from the iTunes store.

  • If I imported a CD into my iTunes library from one computer how can I listen to it from another computer?

    If I imported a CD into my iTunes library from one computer how can I listen to it from another computer?  I imported music from a CD into my compter at work and when I got home and went to my iTunes account none of the songs were in my library.  I also noticed that on my Work computer there were a couple songs that I had to click on the little 'cloud' icon before I could listen to them (these were not songs I imported they were songs that were already in my library).  Not sure if this makes semse...help.

    My question is since I have imported them into my iTunes library from one computer why can't I access them from my iTunes library from another computer that I have authorized to access whats in my library?  Is there no way to import songs only once into the library and then access them from all my authorized computers?
    Only if you have iTunes Match or of the computers are on the same local network.

  • I burned a playlist to a data CD using itunes 11 but what is best way to get it import it into another computer with itunes running?

    I burned a playlist to a data CD using itunes 11 but what is best way to get it import it into another computer with itunes running?  I get an "X" when trying to copy to the "automatically add to itunes" folder on the 2nd computer.

    ok... so i i just made sure all my music is all together in 1 folder and i am going to trash my old music folder that is in the itunes folder... and follow your directions - let itunes start w/new library and bring my music in. Well, last little hurdle/question. I noticed that the place where my itunes library is - on an external drive doesnt have much space left on it. The place where i gathered all my music together in order to start fresh - is a different external drive and has LOTS of free space on it.
    SO... i now would like to just keep all that freshly compiled clean music right where it is but in advanced preferences I want to point to that new folder on the drive that has so much more space. So... should i delete the old music then go into itunes with a blank library and change the folder in preferences - quit and go back in and then follow your steps to loading my music? If i change the setting of where itunes looks for the music - that doesn't wipe out the old stuff... it just mixes it all up together right? I dont want that!!
    i promise this is the last question - i would love to fix this problem tonight and just be DONE!
    Thanks in advance for your patience and knowledge!!

  • How to use ET_ATTACH importing parameter Function module BBP_PD_SC_CREATE

    hi,
    how to use ET_ATTACH importing parameter of Function module BBP_PD_SC_CREATE, my requirement is to create SC with attachment.
    an example would really help.
    Kind Regards,
    Kailash.

    Hi,
    Generally we create the SC from ITS or Portal, and there in the Create SC screen , once you add the item into the shopping cart , in the Item details, there is the section called , Documents and Attachements, where in you can upload the attachments which ever you want. Sometimes the extn .DOC, .pdf and .xls are allowed. but that also you can check which are the Authorized files extns avaialbe in Backend R/3.
    Using the FM RFC_READ_TABLE, in table pass TDWP and in the i_field pass 'APPSFX' and then you can get the authorized file formats. in Backend Transaction DC30 you can verify which are the allowed file formats.
    Moreover for restricting the User from uploading the attachment BADI BBP_ITEM_CHECK_BADI can be implemented for raising the error message if required.
    Regarding the ET_ATTACH, it is the structure of type BBPT_PDS_ATT_T,  so you have to provide the complete details for this structure. Like : GUID, P_GUID ,LOGICAL_SYSTEM, DESCRIPTION, URL, TYPE,DISP_URL, PHIO_EXT ,etc.
    Once all the entries are fine.
    You can create the SC, but the recommeded way for creating the SC is thru ITS or Portal.
    I hope this will help. Feel Free while asking questions.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Ankur Goyal

    how do i activate cs 1 on another computer?

    You don't. The activation servers for cs and cs2 were taken down, and your original copy of cs will not work.
    Adobe has provided a non-activation version of cs2 for cs and cs2 owners.
    Download the mac or pc installer and use the serial number provided with it.

  • HT1202 How do I added my music to another computer thats not my home computer???

    How do I added my music to another computer thats not my home computer???

    Are you wanting to add music to an iTunes library on another computer?  That shouldn't be a problem.  Just import it or rip the same way you would on your iTunes library on your home PC.
    Or are you wanting to extract content from the iPod into this new/different iTunes library?  If so, see this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 on different ways to extact the media on your iPod and back into iTunes.

  • I take a .NEF file and a .JPG file with every click. When I transfer the files using a flash drive to another computer I never get all of the files to transfer. I get some of the .NEF and some of the .JPGs but not all

    I take a .NEF file and a .JPG file with every click. When I transfer the files using a flash drive to another computer I never get all of the files to transfer. I get some of the .NEF and some of the .JPGs but not all. How come?

    If you're exporting a project then you'll only get the images in that project. Also if any of the masters are referenced then you won't get those masters unless you check Consolidate masters into exported library
    It might be best if you started from the beginning and explained what it is your are trying to do and how you're going about doing it. Also a description of you're hardware/software setup would be helpful.

    An account is just a user name and password.  You can sign into your account from any computer that has itunes.

    How can I edit my website from another computer? and how can I create a new website next to the one, I already have? Can anyone help, please?

    Move the domain.sites file from one computer to the other.
    The file is located under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.  Move this file to the same location on the other computer and double click and iWeb will open it.  Remember, it is your User Library that you want and not your System Library, as you will not find iWeb there.
    Just create a new site on the same domain file and it will appear below the other site.  If you want them side by side then duplicate your domain file and have one site per a domain file and they can then be side by side.
