IMovie '11 - Move Events From One Hard To Another, Loses Keywords!

Hi. I've been importing lots of video on to my iMac's hard drive, keywording the Events, and then moving the Events to an external hard drive using iMovie's Event Library.
My problem is, once I've moved the Events, all of the keywording I did on them is lost. Is this what's supposed to happen? Am I doing something wrong?

I have heard other people say that when they did a COPY rather than MOVE, they preserved their keywords.

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'.

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.

ICal move events from one calendar to another with AppleScript

I made an AppleScript to clean up my calendars and thought I would share. My iMac had a calendar called "Home" and my iPhone had a default calendar "Calendar" so I ended up with all of my events spread across two calendars. Decide to clean up and move everything to one calendar.
This script is admittedly not very efficient. The nested repeat loops means it takes a while to run. Feel free to take this as a start point. I have it checking each property for missing value before adding it to avoid errors. I could have added a line to delete the old event after creating the copy, but I was just deleting the whole old calendar after the script ran.
I hope this is helpful to someone. Oh, this was created under Snow Leopard so if you are in Lion you might need to tweak things. I don't know how much the scripting library has changed.
tell application "iCal"
          set thisCalOld to calendar "OldCalendarName"
          set thisCalNew to calendar "NewCalendarToMoveEventsTo"

display dialog ("Exists(not copied):" & cntrMatch & " New Copied:" & cntrCopied)

That should not be necessary because I get the value of ID out of another table, where I generate ID with a sequence..
So normally it should just tranfer that row from one table to another. But it doesn't !
Knowing that I cannot create a row in the table wouter_published_posts(I can just move rows from the add_post table to the wouter_published_posts table), It should be inpossible that twice the ID appears. But yet he keeps trowing errors...
help me, please

Ical keeping both events when I move events from one google calendar to another

Hi all!
I use multiple google calendars and sync them with my iPad, iPhone, and MacBook Air. I like to move events from one calendar to another (for color coding purposes), and am coming across a unique issue that I hope someone has a solution to.
When I edit an event by moving the event from one calendar to another the events show up correctly on the iPhone and iPad, but not in my iCal on MacBook Air. (Only when I make the changes on my iPhone and iPad). For example, when I switch an event originally created in my 'appointments' calendar to my 'done' calendar the event shows up appropriately on iPhone and iPad, and even in my Google calendars on the web. But, the iCal on my MacBook Air keeps both events. This only happens when I make the changes from the iPhone or iPad. If I make calendar changes on my computer, then there are no hiccups on any of the devices.
It seems like a syncing issue with iCal, and I can't figure out how to prevent the duplications in my iCal on my computer from showing up. Quite annoying because I have to go in and delete all of the duplicated events on the computer at the end of the day.
I have the Mavericks OS on my MBA and the software on my iPad and iPhone are updated to the latest software.
If you have any suggestions, please let me know! Thanks!

Petrill,
Thank you. I was trying to do that yesterday, but it was grayed out. It seemed to work alright today.
Thanks,

Moving events from one calendar to another

Is it possible to move events from one calendar to another?
Here is our scenario:
User abc123 has set up a calendar abc123:boardroom for other users to book slots in the board room (he didn't know about resource calendars at the time and so didn't request one be created).
Now abc123 is leaving the company, so his calendars are going to disappear, along with all the bookings for the board room.
So my question is, can these events (and tasks) be moved to another calendar?
I've tried creating a resource calendar and exporting/importing the calendar data, but this appears to leave the organizer of each event set as abc123:boardroom, with the result that the owner of the new resource calendar cannot modify the imported events.
Maybe I'm missing something blindingly obvious here, but there doesn't seem to be any way to actually move events from one calendar to another. Does anyone have any advice as to how I might achieve this?
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Mike.

here is one way:
Click on a meeting to get a Compose window. In the upper right Calendar box, click on the dropdown icon and select the calendar you want to move to from the list. Click on OK to save.
Of course, if you have a lot of meetings to move, this will be a pain, but it does work.
Note: before you do this, make sure you are an "owner" of the calendars(s) you want to move meetings to (or otherwise have access), and are subscribed to those calendars.

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? 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.

Can I move photos from one computer to another using Vault?

Can I move photos from one computer to another using Vault? I use an external hard drive as a vault for my Imac and I want to import photos to my Macbook pro. I have aperture 3 on both units. Can I just plug the ext. drive into the laptop and import from the vault?

You can't import from the vault but you can restore that vault onto the MBP. This will restore the complete library that is contained in the vault.

How do I move pictures from one library to another?

How do I move pictures from one library to another?

For just a few export them out of Library A via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with Kind = Original and import them into Library B.
However, this will not include any edits or metadata (keywords, titles, etc.) that you've added.
To get the original image, any edits and all metadata, keywords, titles, descriptions, places, etc., you'll need the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager. It can copy albums or events from one library to another and keep those items I mentioned earlier with the photos.

How do I move contacts from one group to another?

I entered several contacts in address book. How do I control which group they are assigned to at the time of entry? The ones I added showed up in my office contacts in Outlook instead of in Hotmail/iCloud.

Do the contacts that are not in iCloud belong to an external account such as Gmail, Yahoo or an Exchange account? Or, do they belong to On My iPhone?
