IMovie is not moving events between drives, only copying them???

Hi,
I'm following the instructions here - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1026 - to move events, but it only copies them and leaves the original.
Is this the only way? Is there actual way to "move" them?
Cheers

You are looking at a document for a previous version of iMovie. In the current version, if you drag you get a copy. If you hold down the command key while you drag, you get a move. See the iMovie help for details.

I have iMovie 09. I just erased my external hard drive, but it is still formatted for the mac. However, iMovie will not recognize the hard drive. It shows the only hard drive available is the computers. How do I get the external hard drive to show up?

In Finder's Menu, select Go menu>Go to Folder, and go to "/volumes". (no quotes)
Volumes is where an alias to your hard drive ("/" at boot) is placed at startup, and where all the "mount points" for auxiliary drives are created for you to access them. This folder is normally hidden from view.
Drives with an extra 1 on the end have a side-effect of mounting a drive with the same name as the system already think exists. Try trashing the duplicates with a 1 or 2 if there are no real files in them, and reboot.
If it does contain data...

Me compre un ipod classic de 160gb cada vez que trato de ponerle musica de mi disco duro externo solo copia hasta 1500 canciones y luego me congela el Itune y no lo puedo cerrar, me pide que restaure el ipod como de fabrica, lo hago y nada. Trato de cerrar el programa de itune y no me deja, trato de apagar el computador y no lo puedo apagar, he buscado para ver si tiene errores el disco del Ipod y me dice que esta bien. Lo he restaurado como 8 veces y le he puesto musica y videos pero siempre me borra todo. He aplastado Menu y Seleccion para entrar al sistemade diagnostic o del ipod y le pongo el test manual donde entro al IO y me dice q todo esta bien. Le he dado ya varios Format directamente desde el Windows 7 y nada tampoco, siempre me borra todo desde que pasan mas de 1300 canciones y me congeal todo el equipo. Ya no se que pensar de esta compania Apple porque no da ninguna solucion ha este tema.

Import error "not enough room on "drive" to copy..."

Hello.
I have a built 2.8ghz dual xeon workstation that has a 640gb system drive and a 3.8tb (raid 5) storage drive and am unable to add any more songs/moves/music with out always getting an error of not enough room on 'drive' to copy all of the requested files.
right now the storage drive only has 1.2tb used(all itunes in a single library) i don't think its a item limit in itunes, because it will allow me to add new items as long as i don't allow itunes to move/copy/organize the items.
I know the drive is not full because i can still add files to it via windows.
any help would be appreciated, yes i searched and did not find anything that helped. please let me know if you need any more information.

I encountered the same problem today. Reading other threads I saw where a person identified the bug. I will file today as well.
I purchased an album from iTunes - I don't recall what they call the product - LP view perhaps? It is the one with the liner notes and such. Anyway some of the the files in this folder have a .itlp suffix. If I skip this album the rest moves fine.
So basically first run a find to locate any folder/album with the offending suffix. Then select your entire iTunes library. Then un-select the items associated with the offending album. Then right click and select consolidate. That should work.
I did not do exactly this. Since I have a large library I selected 10-15,000 songs at a time and chose consolidate. This also works.

I have been backing up iMovie 08 files to my external drive, but for some reason I can't open these files in iMovie. I used drag and drop to copy them.

You really should be doing backups with an actual backup application, especially one that will work automatically, and, if your external HD is large enough, back up your entire system. These can automatically back up only what's changed since the previous backup, and some will keep "archive" copies of things you've changed or deleted, also.
Too many things can go wrong, such as your internal HD failing, and you'll have a major project to reinstall everything.
You already have Time Machine, built-in to OSX. You might want to review the Time Machine Tutorial, and perhaps browse Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
#27 in the second link mentions some alternatives, too.

Moving Events between computers

how can I move an iPhoto Event from one computer to another (while maintaining the Event info) - I need to do this for 100s of Events!

The only way to do this kind of move is with iPhoto Library Manager

Lightroom 3 not finding my images on new External Drive I copied them in the MAC finder..bad I know

I recently bought a larger external drive and did a copy of all my files, including my catalog, via my MAc finder..I know now this was a clumsy way to do things.
I don't want to go through another copy session within LR.lotsa files.
I've done "find missing photos" but now I don't have a clue as to what to do.
Right clicking doesn't show anything relevant.
Sort of stuck..help?
Thanks,
Pete

None of that right clicking was working...except for "find missing images"//which it did..but then I had a collection of "missing images" and had no clue what to do with them
Last night before I went to bed I decided to change the name of my new external drive to the exact same name as the drive I copied the images from....and it worked perfectly. Lightroom grabbed everything and I was running again.
Im a bit uneasy about that solution tho..

Imovie will not import the whole video, only a portion. How can I import the entire video?

I am new Imovie user and I am having some difficulty importing video from my desktop. The whole video is on my desktop, but when I try to import it in imovie, only a few minutes of the video imports. How can I fix this issue?

Hi
A. How much free space is there on Your - Start-Up (Macintosh HD) Hard disk ?
The movie in Your Camera / Stored on Your Mac (from Camera) - is very Compressed.
For iMovie (or FinalCut) it has to be in an Editable format - and this is massively LARGER
I've movies on 500Mb when un-folder are 50Gb or even more.
B. Is there other external Hard Disks connected ?
How are it / they formatted - HAS TO BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) to work for VIDEO
UNIX / DOS / FAT32 / Mac OS Exchange - Works for most other things but not for VIDEO

IMovie WILL NOT upload to iCloud Drive

For some reason my iMovie App on my Macbook will not upload the videos to the cloud. I make a lot of videos for myself, my friends and for youtube, and i really need them to backup and they won't show up in iCloud Drive. I have checked the iCloud Drive settings and iMovie is checked and I have tried uploading it through the iMovie folder in iCloud website in the iDrive files and it won't work because it says the files must be in a format iMovie can open. I have also tried doing it through the iDrive folders on my Macbook and it still won't work. What is going on? Is my macbook broken, or something?

Looks like this has been solved by yesterdays IOS8 update - thanks!

Moving Events between Accounts

I have created a new user account to deal with some issues.
I would like to migrate/copy/move all of the photos and events and faces and places setup information I created in the old account.
Looking for some guidance.
There seems like there should be an easy way to migrate but I don't seem to be able to find any support on this problem.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.
One more question. Where are the actual photo files located? Do I need to move them or are they all part of the iPhoto Library that I copied?
In other words can I blow away the old account's Pictures folder.
Sorry for the simple questions but I'm a convert and used to seeing files.
Thanks

HD Upgrade - Moving data between Drives?

I'm thinking about upgrading my 320GB hard drive in my 13" MacBook Pro to a 750GB drive. What is the recommended way to move the data from the old to new drive?

a comprehensive guide to switching HDD's :

comprensive videos on how to physically change them: http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/
I personally would replace the optical bay with the new hdd, which will allow you to run smoothly with more storage space. like these: http://eshop.macsales.com/search/optical+bay
Hope this helps.

Moving clips between projects, without rendering them

Is this possible? I work on a Macbook Pro, using CS4 production premium. How can I move clips between projects in PP CS4?
I KNOW there's a way. Just can't figure it out.
Thanks!

The easiest, IMO, is to Open your source Project and remove everything that will not be needed. Do a Save_As. Import that Save_As Project into your new one. Be sure to then twirl open the Bins, and Dbl-click on the Save_As Project's Timeline.
Hunt
PS I also go to Project and choose Delete Unused (or similar syntax) to clean things up for the Save_As.

Ipad speaker not playing certain sounds or only playing them softly

Not sure if this is the right category. My Ipad speaker seems to not be playing certain sounds, for instance on the song Norwegian Wood the sitar is near silent. Have to put my ear right against the speaker to even hear it. I've tried a few different versions of the songs on different sites and in different apps but it's always the same, and it appears to be like this on other songs. Any help? Is there something I can adjust or is it in need of repairs? It's still under warranty. Thanks

Assuming that you are playing the songs in the Music app and not some third party app, you should probably have the iPad evaluated at an Apple Store. But before you do that, try this. Then see what happens.
Quit the music app completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

In LR3, can I import photos from an external drive without copying them?

When I try to do this, the 'Add' button is greyed out so I'm assuming I can't. The only options are 'Copy as DNG' and 'Copy'.
I want to leave them in their original location. Does anyone know of a way to do this?
Thanks

Yes, you can relocate your iPhoto library to an external drive and it will function exactly the same way it does on the boot drive as long as the external is mounted.
It's easy to do. Simply use the Finder to copy the whole iPhoto library folder to the external. Do not open the folder or tamper with its contents. When copied, hold down the Option key while launching iPhoto. In the dialog box, click to choose an existing library, navigate to its new location. iPhoto will now use this as its default location until you tell it otherwise.
P.S. How do you like this snow? Isn't it crazy?
