In the Utilities folder you'll find an application named "Migration Assistant".
It can move all of your data from connected machines to your new one.

Transferring an iMovie Project to a New Computer

I edited a short film for an Apple sponsored "iMovie Fest" at my university. They provided a MacBook Pro for me to work on, as I had to do the project in iMovie '08. After I finished the project and submitted it (as a .m4v file), I moved everything to my external hard drive -- iMovie Project files and iMovie Event files -- all at once and did not edit or add anything after that. The MacBook Pro was returned to Apple.
The issue at hand is that when I attempt to open the Project file on another computer (in this case, an iMac), it opens iMovie '08, but does not load the project. In my first attempt, it loaded my Event files (so all the raw footage was there) but not the Project. A second attempt a few days later (on the same machine), it loaded neither the Project nor the Event files (however I could upload individual movie files with the 'File' dropdown menu).
The folders they are contained in are labeled as they were when I edited the film at the beginning (iMovie Events, iMovie Projects). Is there something that I did wrong? Is there a way to retrieve the Project information so I don't have to reedit the film?

Great info roddy. One part though where you wrote
Double click this domain file to launch iWeb.
Although functional this is not necessary. Would not want to confuse OP into thinking the procedure of double-clicking the Domain file is required everytime the desire to open app is present. _Look Here_ for complete Apple documentation. Given that information coupled with your suggestion OP could copy the Domain file to anywhere on their new Mac and then double-clicking Domain file would be +absolutely required+ to open project in iWeb. This would then set new location of Domain file where afterwards simply launching iWeb app from dock, app folder or otherwise would open the Domain file, wherever it was located. Your suggestion mentioned copying Domain to equivalent location of ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb and in doing so double-clicking is not required since this is the default location iWeb looks for the Domain file at anyway.

I just got a new laptop and i want to put the musisc i had on my ipod from my old computer to my new laptop how do i do that

[lease help

You should copy the music from your old computer and put it on an external hard drive or flash drive. Then plug in that drive to your new computer and drop all the music into itunes from the drive on your new computer.
If you don't have access to your old computer, you will have to buy a recovery program that can copy the music from your iPod. I highly recommend iRip from "the little app factory". http://thelittleappfactory.com/irip/
The program is about $20 and it will save you from losing all your music. I have used it to save my massive music collective on my iPod classic when my old windows machine crashed. iRip also will let you grab 100 tracks for free off your iPod so you can see for yourself that the program actually works!
iTunes stores music in these directories:
Windows: C:// ... /user/My Documents/My Music/iTunes
Mac OS: /User/Music/iTunes
Hope this helps!

To save hard drive space, can I put my iMovie projects and clips on an external drive?

to save hard drive space, can I put my iMovie projects and clips on an external drive?

Yes.
To preserve your projects, all moves should be done from within iMovie, (not the Finder).
First, the external drive must be formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled). FAT32 will not work. You can reformat using Disk Utility if you need to.
When importing video from your camera, you can specify your external drive as the target on the import screen.
For existing projects, you should move using these instructions.
http://help.apple.com/imovie/#move7d66613
There is an error in the instructions where it says to drag the project icon to the icon in the Event Library. You should instead look for your hard drive icon in the Project Library.
You can move events using these instructions.
http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3ac6d42c
If you want to move Events, and copy photos, copy music, etc for editing on another Mac, you should use the FILE/CONSOLIDATE MEDIA feature after moving the Project as above.

Putting multiple iMovie projects onto one DVD

I was wondering if there was a way to put multiple iMovie projects onto one DVD using iDVD?

actually none of those options worked probably since the movies were in IMOVIE2
Ah... You didn't say it was an iMovie 2 project. iMovie project is different from iMovie HD.
I want to store the image file from the dvd's off site as I don't have the space to archive the projects - it seems I can't do that as it copies over to the server but shows up as a 4kb file - any suggestions how I can do this?
I might be wrong (since I don't have iMovie 2), I assume iMovie 2 has the similar QT "reference" movie as the iMovie HD. This "reference" movie is not a "self-contained" (a QT term) movie, i.e. it only has instructions of the makeup of the "real" movies. You cannot use it to archive. If you want to offload your movie from your computer, you should copy the entire iMovie 2 project folder to an external archive.

I want to import one imovie project into another one. In other words, I have created a short sequence in iMovie 11 on one computer, and I want to import it into a project that I am working on, on another computer.

I want to import one imovie project into another one. In other words, I have created a short sequence in iMovie 11 on one computer, and I want to import it into a project that I am working on, on another computer. I copied the project files onto a hard drive, and then connected that drive to the Mac that my main project is on, but when I select "import" the files are faint gray -meaning I can't select them. Help! I want to transfer a sequence of shots from one iMovie 11 project on one computer, into another iMovie 11 project on another computer.

Tell me it ain't so!
I wish I could. The research you've done is correct.
Wether you copy and paste or rebuild the Project from the other computer, you're going to need to get your Evnets copied from the other computer.
The Prjoject files only contain pointer back to the original media.

Editing imovie Project on a Different Computer

I have been working on a video project in imovie 09 for my dad. I am doing the project on a macbook pro but unfortunately my sister is taking it to college. I want to move the imovie project to our mac desktop, and still be able to edit it because I am not finished with the project yet. I have tried using quicktime with the file extension DV but cannot add transitions or edit anything? Is there a solution?

Check iMovie/ABOUT and see which version you have. If you have version 8.0.6, use John Cogdell's advice above.
If you have version 7.1.4, you must use a slightly different procedure.
0) You need an external hard disk that is formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled)
1) Open iMovie. Click VIEW/EVENTS BY VOLUME. You should see your hard drive in the Events Library List,
2) Drag the small icon for your Event to the small icon for the external drive, and let it copy.
4) Open the Finder and go to the <user>/Movies/iMovie Projects folder. Drag your project into the external hard drive.
5) Now, plug in the external drive to the mac desktop.
6) Open the Finder, and drag the Project File to the <user>/Movies/iMovie Projects folder.
7) Now open iMovie. Click VIEW/EVENTS BY VOLUME. You should see your Event file on the external disk. Drag it to the Internal disk in iMovie.

Terry,
Plug your iPhone 5 into your Leopard Machine.
Fire up iPhoto.
The phone should become available in iPhoto, and then you can import the camera roll.

When you connect the iPod to your computer and go to the Music tab to select which music you want to sync, iTunes will pop up a dialogue box that if you sync your music it will replace the music that is already on the iPod.
Since that sounds like what you want to do, just click ok and then sync.

How do I move a Premier Elements Project to a new computer?

I want to move a Premier Elements Project to a different machine with more efficient RAM and SSDs. How do I move a Premier Elements Project to a new computer?

Welcome to the Premiere Elements Forum.
I constantly migrate my Premiere Projects between my laptop, and my workstation, but I set those Projects up, initially, with that in mind - which is different than having a Project set up on one computer, and then moving it to another. For my setup (remember, this is initially, when I start a Project), see these two articles:
Setting Up Project Folders & Sub-folders
Using External HDD's for Video Editing
For existing Projects, there are a couple of ways to address this. The method that you use, might depend on how you plan on moving the Project.
If you have an external HDD, and plan to use that to do the move, see the "Using External HDD's" article above, as it talks about drive letters in the OS. Getting that correct first, can save a lot of work later.
Then, one can use the Project Archiver to Copy the Project, and necessary files to that external. When one has done that, I strongly suggest that they test that "archived Project," to make sure that the Archiver has gathered everything necessary. The success of that process can depend on how one has set up their folders and sub-folders, and where their Assets (the material that has been Imported into the Project) is located. That is why I always urge one to test everything first. Then, just plug that external HDD into the new computer. At that point, they will have two options: edit to/from the external, or Copy everything to the new computer. For the former, see that "Using External HDD's" article, as there can be some limitations, such as both HDD speed and connection speed, that can impact how well things work.
Next, one could just Copy (over a a wired, or wireless network, or via an external HDD), the Project file (PREL), all Assets, and most of the Scratch Disk folders, to the new computer.
Note: there are files in the Media Cache, such as CFA's and PEK's for the Conformed Audio, that do not have to be Copied/Moved, as PrE will rebuild those (give the program time to do so, and do not edit the Project, until they ARE rebuilt). Same for the Render Files, as if those are needed, one can easily hit Enter/Return, to Render the Timeline, or part of it, again.
Keep the folder structures.
If one gets the "Where is file _____ ?" message, this ARTICLE will be helpful.
Note that the PREL (Project) file is really an XML database. It contains NO MEDIA, but only absolute links to where that media was Imported from. See this ARTICLE for more background.
Good luck, and if you have any questions, or something above was not clear, please ask, before you make the move, as the answers might save you some time, and extra work.

What happens when you try to redownload them ? What you can re-download (the types of content that you can redownload varies by country) will show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes, and the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your iPhone (and similarly for apps in the App Store app). If you still have your old phone then you should be able to copy your iTunes downloads from it over to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases
