IMovie HD/08: Need help merging projects from both versions.

I have some video that was imported using iMovie HD6 (saved to my internal hard drive with some editing already done) and some using iMovie 08. (Save to an external hard drive and unedited). I realized later that iMovie 08 lacks features available on iMovie HD6. I would like to move all video to my external hard drive and merge my projects. I would then like to edit the whole thing on iMovie HD6. I've noticed that I can simply drag my iMovie 08 project directly into iMovie HD6 and directly into my other project. However, it wants to save it to my internal hard drive. (No where near enough space on my internal drive for that). Is it safe to assume that if I were to move my iMovie HD6 project onto my external drive that it would then attempt to import/merge my iMovie 08 project keeping it on my external drive? Also, do I run a risk of losing any editing already done to my iMovie HD6 project if I move it to my external drive? If not, is there a right or wrong way to move it? Also, my external drive is connected to my computer via USB. Am I going to have any problems editing from my external drive because of that?

I am trying to transfer a movie project I made on my work computer (MacBook Pro, iMovie '08) to my home computer (iMovie HD, iBook). I've transferred the files using a Lacie, but when I open iMovie HD on my personal computer, it does not let me open the project I desire.
As you have already found, iMovie '08 projects, as such, are not backwards compatible with previous versions of iMovie. iMovie '08's project basically consists of a list of instructions detailing how a project is to be exported while previous versions of iMovie actually rendered physical file segments ordered properly in a physical timeline reference file.
I can import, but not the whole file, it keeps putting items in the trash. I have exported Mobile, Medium, and Large files.
Basically you have two options. You can either import your raw footage (the Event clips) and "re-create" a project in iMovie HD or export your iMovie '08 project, complete with edits to an HD compatible format (e.g., DV or AIC/AIFF) and import this file into iMovie HD. Unfortunately, this latter approach will not allow you to "manipulate" your previous edits.
Basically, I want to be able to open the file in iMovie, in case I wanted to duplicate it or edit it.
As indicated above, you can import iMovie '08 shared/exported files to iMovie HD but you then have to edit them as source files. To remove a previous edit, you would literally have to delete it from your new project in order to add another.
I also want to be able to continue burning copies of this movie slideshow to DVD (I created a DVD project using iDVD).
Previously authored and burned DVDs can be copy-burned by applications like Toast or used to create stored "image" files that can be used to burn new DVDs on an as needed basis in the Mac OS "Burn" folder or using the Disk Utility application. In fact the "image" file can also be created for this purpose from within iDVD.

Need help coping project from one computer to another.

I need help coping project from one computer to another. I loaded all video on computer 1, copied events and project folder to computer 2. I was told I only needed to copy the project folder back to computer 1 since the events folder is already there. I copied project folder back to computer 1 but the files wont open. I dont have computer 2 available.
Please help!!!

Hi
No that's not the way to do it - iMovie gets confused and in some cases the problems might be un-repairable.
You've got several problems
• iMovie'08 - CAN NOT MOVE PROJCTS - You NEED iMovie'09 or iMovie'11 - I see no other working solution
• Never MOVE or alter any folder named
iMovie Projects - or -
iMovie Events
on DeskTop/Finder - This might be very harmful
• Moving (Projects) and Events - HAS TO be done within the iMovie Application.
You've got an Evets window and here You can view Your Events in two ways - Yearly - or - Yearly per Hard disk
Here You can move within this "window" to another location
• Projects - NO they do not contain Your full movie - only a document on howto use the material in Event folder
and there might be worse if You added Photos from iPhoto and Audio from iTunes/Garageband - then You have
to get this over to the second Mac too, to be able to continue editing.
So to move Your projects to another Mac You need
• iMovie'09 or 11
• an external hard disk -
MUST BE Mac OS Extended formatted - as UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange will not work for VIDEO
Should be a FireWire one - as UBS/UBS2 performs badly when used for video
• Then move/copy over within Project resp Events window in iMovie Application
Hopefully I've been not to confusing or badly structured to be followed.

Need help removing adware from Safari Version 7.0.5 (9537.77.4) Maverick System OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)

This adware renders system useless during while using web. Cannot perform even the simplest work that requires interaction on a website. (Except Apple). I have excellent Web Service. Other iMac and 4 IOS devices are not affected, and work well.

Hello Apple community
PLEASE I need your help!
I'm having an horrible experience with my Safari 7.1.2 ( iMac OS X 10.9.5)
Bare with me, here are my symptoms, and what I did so far looking for solutions online. None of them helped
This all started SUDDENLY, today. Although i DOWNLOADED a couple of apps last week thinking i was upgrading my video app that wasn't working (I was prompted to do so but the video never ended up working!)
My symptoms:
- Ads are "glueing" themselves on my webpages... in different formats depending on the website i'm on (regular websites...)
- pages are opening ups by themselves (see picture) :
*directing to "d2bzz.resolve.sweepstakesghost.biz/?sov....." with a window saying "PC TECH SUPPORT Chat initiated. Specialist: Matt Folson Date: January 7, 2015";
To this i turned my Wifi off and then closed the page to avoid clicking on the OK button (yet now it's not asking anymore and just redirecting me without asking)
*directing to other supposedly technical support...
- SELECTED WORDS become all caps, underlined, and in light blue with a link to an ad? (see picture above)
- ALL of this are displaying a certain "Ad by PJS-4.2"
My Solutions:
1)
I searched online and DOWNLOADED
-Clamsav: found items to remove and removed them and emptied my trash ---> Dindt work (see picture)
- ADWARE Medic: found a couple of other items to delete and deleted them , emptied trash and restated computer ----> didn't work!
Still same Symptoms!
2)
I checked my extensions for Safari and only found 3 that I do use (and been using for quite a while). Just uninstalled them
Still same symptoms!
3)
I also looked for your files “Linc Davis” is referring to here in the forum but can't find any of them in my COMPUTER.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "VSearch" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator LOGIN password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then DELETE the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
4)
I did an other search recommended by “Linc Davis”, about looking for /Library/LaunchDaemons in the Finder and I FOUND this:
com.smithmicro.schedulerdaemon.plist
com.MICROSOFT.office.licensing.helper.plist
com.surteesstudios.hddfancontroldaemon.plist
com.adobe.fpsaud.plist
com.macpaw.CleanMyMac2.Agent.plist
com.apple.aelwriter.plist
com.adobe.SwitchBoard.plist
com.apple.qmaster.qmasterd.plist
com.adobe.versioncueCS3.plist
com.bombich.ccc.plist
PLEASE PLEASE HELP what can I do to GET RID OF those?!!

TS1389 I need help removing UAC from itunes..

I need help removing UAC from itunes so it will not allow me to open itunes. Everything I have read from other comments that you shouldn't turn off your user account control. I just to be able to open itunes. Can anyone help me with this problem?? Greg, ogrady612@yahoo,com

I had this problem too but you do not need UAC to be turned on.
Click on start and search for 'uac' in the search box at the bottom and click on 'Change User Account Control Settings' when it comes up. Move the slider to the bottom when the window appears and save the changes and your done!
It's worked for me and my uac has been off for months without causing me any problems!
Hope this helped

Ok, given that I may have not been the kindest to you on the other thread (and I'm still annoyed that you went and cross-posted this), and that you did actually use code tags, I'm going to post some code here:
Please take the following advice onboard though.
1. When you are naming your artifacts, please use the java coding standard as your guide. So if you are naming a class you use a capital letter first, and use camel case thereafter. All method names begin with a lower case letter, and all variable names begin with a lower case letter (and again camel case after that)
2. Please use self explanitory names (for everything), so no more row1, row2, or text1, text2, etc.
3. The example I am giving below makes use of a single class to handle all actions, this is not really the best way to do this, and a better way would be to have a class to handle each action (that would remove the massive if() else if() in the action handler class.
4. When you are using class variables they should be private (no exceptions, ever!), if you need to access them from other classes use accessors (eclipse and other IDE tools can generate these methods for you in seconds)
5. Notice the naming convention for my constants (final statics), they are all upper case (again from the java coding standards document, which you are going to look for with google right?)
6. I have hived some of the creation work to helper methods (the getSubjectTextField() etc), although it isn't advisable to be calling other methods from the constructor, since this is a GUI, and you want it to appear as soon as you create the class, we won't worry about this, but perhaps as an execrise you could work out a better way to do this?
7. Personally, I don't like classes that implement listeners, unless they are specifically designed to do that job. So a Frame that is set up as an action listener is fine, provided the actions it listens for are associated with the frame, not its contents. If the actions are related to its contents, then a dedicated class is better.
8. Another personal opinion, but I feel it makes code clearer, but others may disagree. If you are creating a variable solely to hold the result of a calculation, to be passed to a method in the very next line, then don't create the variable, just pass the method as the argument to the method (feel free to ignore this advice if the method call is extremely long, and a local would make it easier to read)
Anyway, here is the code. I have removed most of the menu items, and leave this as an exercise for you. Also I have only created 2 methods (new and exit), I'll again leave it as an exercise for you to complete this.

Urgent - HTML help merged projects - displaying in the same window

Hi All,
Following some recent windows updates I'm experiencing all sorts of problems. My most urgent problems is as follows:
First off this is all in RH8 and yes I have upgraded to 8.0.2 and project is set to re-build cpd each time.
So I have a merges project as follows:
Parent project
child project 1
chils project 2 etc
when I compile an html help project with TOC, and single source window settings on default if I click on a child project it is diaplyued in a separate window. If I then select a different project in the parent project TOC this is also displayed in a different window but the window still has the caption of the previously opened file.
What I need as the end result is for my HTML help project output to al display in the same window whether I click on a parent project item, or a child project item.
Please can somebody advise mne how to do this as I am VERY close to a deadline and as usual it seems RH8 has let me down again.....
Thanks
Author Care

Hi there
Methinks Colum needs more coffee, because the options he cited have nothing to do with other windows. They have to do with whether the displayed topic synchronizes with the TOC and whether the TOC entry is highlighted.
I'm thinking it has to do with creating a "Global" window. You change the names of the windows so they include Global.

Need help in migration from Layer2 to layer3

HI Guys
Need u r help in migration from layer2 switched network to layer3.
here is the setup there are 9 sites connected with a 10gig backbone in a ring.each site has a 6513 but at the data centre site we having two 6513.we are having a combination of voice and data vlans.at present all the sites are connected with layer2 trunks.all the trunks are teminated at the core ie datacentre site.so how should i procedd and what are the advantages of it ie migration.
Thanks
Mahmood

For this migration you first need to assign IP addresses to your connections between switches. This could be /30 (or /31, if supported) subnets. You should also consider running some dynamic routing protocol such as OSPF between switches.
Hope this helps.

I DESPERATLY NEED HELP TRANSFERING SONGS FROM IPOD TO ITUNES LIBRARY

hi my computer crashed downstairs and i need help moving all my songs from my ipod to my itunes library, on the other computer...will someone please help me?

Hello Markatkis,
Make sure your not connecting it to more than one PC. A new iPOd is set to "Auto Update" by default. With this setting all you do is plug the iPOd into the PC and iTUnes automaticly opens, loads all the songs it has listed in iTunes to the iPod, and after its done, ejects the iPOd.
If you connect it to another PC tho with iTUnes on it you usually get a promtp that in short says "iPOd library linked to another PC, do you want to link to this one" if you click yes, it wipes the iPOd clean and loads only whats on that PC.
Since your new to all of this a great place for you may be the "iPod 101" site. It will show you all the bacis ropes of using your iPOd, using iTUnes, and using them both together. http://www.apple.com/support/ipod101/

Desperately needs help burning DVD from iPhoto

I am using iPhoto 6.0.6. I desperately need help burning a DVD of a slide show that I created for my daughter's wedding.
I put several songs together by opening them and then combining them using QuickTime Pro. I imported the audio into iTunes and created a slide show using iPhoto. The slide show is perfect! The slides are finally in sink with the music just as I want them! But I don't know how to burn the slide show as a DVD.
I tried exporting the video from iPhoto to my computer, but at the end of the export, I get this message: please note that the music included in the slideshow can only be played on authorized machines. And when I try to play the video (after the export), most of the music on the video cannot be heard. When I try to authorize my machine, I am told that it's already authorized.
If someone would send detailed instructions on how to proceed, I would greatly appreciate it.
Greg

Is your problem the DRM audio tracks you purchased from iTunes store?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.
