InDesign CS5 - Move project to another computer

Hi guys,
I know there must be a thread/post like this one before, but I need a quick answer for now. That is why I make a new one instead of search for the old one. Sorry :/
I'm planning to go overseas, and still work on my project. But the thing is that I will use my personal computer. Not my company computer. I was just wondering will there be any problem if I move from computer A to computer B?
- I will package my project in computer A, and will open it again in computer B. Will there be any problem? No. Right? Because I package all the fonts that are in the document/project. Correct?
AND
- The computer A is a Windows, WILL THERE BE ANY PROBLEM IF I start/continue the project/document on Apple/Mac ???
- What would be the problems? (fonts, links) ???
- If I package my current project/document. Is it guaranteed safe? I can move it to anywhere that I want? (windows to windows, not windows to apple)
I hope I don't get too complicated.
Thank you!

Hi Peter,
I found couple solution in the forum:
- install hotfix from microsoft http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956514
- install arial narrow version 2.37
- delete AdobeFnt##.lst <--- I can't find it on my drive. What I found was AdobeFnt_OCFontslst & AdobeFnt_CMaps.lst should I delete those?
first, i will try to install the hotfix. hopefully it'l work.
thank you!
UPDATE:
So, I tried to download and install the hotfix, it says "There are no products affected by this package installed on the system."
I do not have Microsoft Office, I only have Microsoft Word. Is that the reason why???
So, now not really sure what to do. Probably try to download Arial Narrow 2.37? I don't even know if I can download them..
Thanks!

Can't move project for another computer use

hello,
I've read everything here about moving projects to external HD, to then move them to my mac pro. It just doesn't work, and it's first in my long mac life that I am that frustrated!
I did a couple of video editing on my macbook.
Insert picture in picture, text, etc.
All movies have been used from iPhoto. I didnt import any video.
Now I wanna work on my mac pro, and finish the edit.
I hooked up an external HD, command-drag the project to the external HD within iMovie:
1) 1 time out of 10, the dialog box asking if i wanna copy the project or copy project+events, will come up, all the other time, NOTHING.
2) Then i go on the external HD, select the project, choose consolidate, copy plan (e.g.= 1Go), and nothing happens!
3) if i hook up the external HD on my mac pro, the video will play, but then I will have all my plan with the yellow warning square, telling source is missing.
I've tried everything, I cannot work on my project on my macpro, have to stick on the macbook to finish them! Unbelievable!
(repair permission, reboot, tried with my girlfriend macbook and imovie, same, what am I doing wrong???)
Any help or hints greatly appreciated.
Ju

Same here. I don't have a solution, but I understand exactly your problem. This is what I did.
Imported movies into iPhoto from stills camera.
Opened iMovie, new project bla bla, dragged from event library (iphoto videos).
Made/edited movie etc.
All gone well. Exported to iTunes/iDVD etc no problem.
Now, I don't need to keep all the original video clips in iPhoto so can I delete them?
Yeah sure, I'll just drag the iMovie project to my ext HD as per the iMovie help files.(in iMovie)
Opened project that is now on ext HD.
File/Consolidate/Copy clips & Move events.
But.... it doesn't. The 'Copy clips' box even says '2.2gb' which is the right amount for the movie clips. But they never go to the iMovie project file on my ext HD.???

I would like to buy InDesign as a gift--for another computer. Is that possible?

Why not? You just need to create a second Adobe ID to use with the new subscription.

Is there any way to package a project to move it to another computer?

I've got FCE4 projects on one computer but I need to be able to open and work on them on my MBP as well. Currently, I've got the projects in Dropbox, but when I open them, the source media files all need to be reconnected.
I guess I could painstakingly hunt for them all one by one. Any file I have imported into FCE I keep in the same folder, but files created by iMovie and FCE [like sequence files] I have no idea where they are.
Is there any way to package the project, like you can in InDesign? That software packages all related files into 1 folder so you always have them.
Thaks for the help!

I am using an external scratch disk, but there's not a lot in each project's folder. I need a way to pull everything a project uses and place it in 1 folder so I can move it to another machine. I have everything I've imported...it's just links to iMovie files [I exported rough cuts to xml, then imported into FCE4. I'm not sure why FCE4 is looking for the original iMovie file...] and sequence files that I need to be able to find.
I was really hoping for some kind of automated function, like packaging in InDesign...

How can I move new Garageband(10.0.2) project to another computer

Hello,
I normally record on my drummers' macbook pro. However, I wanted to make some extra adjustment of our work on my own computer as well. I researched and I found some solutions saying that "save as Archive Project" then transfer. But looks like on the new Garageband 10.0.2, there is no option called "Enable Archive Project." So is there anyway I can open the project on my computer. I tried to just copy it and open it but it says "file cannot be opened"
Mac pro OSX 10.9.2
Garageband 10.0.2

How did you transfer the project to your computer?
You need to copy the project file (.band) and transfer it on a thumbs drive or similar, then copy it from that drive to your computer.
You cannot open a GarageBand project on a DVD or CD, the device needs to be writable and formatted for Mac as MacOS Extended (Journaled).
Set the "Ignore Ownership on this Volume" flag for the thumbs drive you are using to copy the project. You can do that from the "Permissions" brick in the "Get Info" panel for the drive, if you select it inn the Finder and use "File > Get Info".
And, last but not least, are you having exactly the same versions of GarageBand on both macs?
Alternately, if you are using the same AppleID on both macs, save your project to iCloud on the first Mac, and download it from iCloud on the second Mac.
To save to iCloud:
Make sure, Documents and Data is enabled in System Preferences > iCloud.
File > Save as
Select iCloud in the File Chooser
To download from iCloud on your mac at home, use File > iCloud > Open iCloud Song.

How do I copy a project to another computer?

A project in FCPX has grown from its original scope. I've now got four different Events on an old iMac (maxed out with 4GB). I want to move the project to another Mac. I've copied over all of the Event folders as well as the Project folder. (Total: about 100GB)
The problem is that the timeline tells me I'm missing clips, but they were all consolidated into the Event folders before copying them to the second Mac. Trying to reconnect each clip is not working (because it's like cutting the whole thing again). Many of the edits used "Favorites," excluded "Rejected" clips, had audio corrections, transitions, connected storylines, etc.
Is there a way to save my edits when moving this project? (Re-editing the whole project is almost impossible to consider.)
Thank you.
(I'm running 10.6.8 on the old computer and 10.8.2 on the new one. Both are running FCPX 10.0.6.)

Sorry for the incovenience. It's fine. User error. [head slap]

Premiere C4, pack and go, project to another computer that's dying

I need another expert advise. As we all have experienced, working on a project and your computer seems to be dying???
Seems I remember back in the old premiere days that there was a project transfer so you can pack all your files, etc and move to another computer and
not risk a complete crash.
DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A FEATURE IN ADOBE PREMIERE C4 THAT ALLOWS FOR THIS, OR IS THERE A WAY THAT A DUMB MAN LIKE ME MIGHT NOT KNOW????
I CAN UNDERSTANDING SENDING ALL YOUR PROJECT MATERIALS TO ANOTHER COMPUTER, HOWEVER WILL EXCHANGE WORK.
IN SHORT....IS THERE A ENTIRE PROJECT FILE, FOLDER, ELEMENTS TRANSFER MENU OR UTILITY TO DO THIS.

THANKS.

Amazing, look at my profile below. I have done very well and would almost
give the company away. Long story, long time in broadcasting and now
development. With my Broadcast engineering license I also rep for Samsung,
Logitech, Best Buy, Google up to 20 companies.
I have been lucky. I assume you know Pearlman, Bonesteel, etc. I knew the
answer that Bill gave, but I still like Premiere 2.0, pro cs is too
binding to me. Later. PS: With Tinmenonline, below, I there a lot too,
$30,000 per day, let see Asheville top that. You need to be on
LinkedIn too.

How can I transfer my Final Cut X Project to another computer?

I'm using Final Cut Pro X 10.1.3 and I can't find how to transfer my project. I want to do this because my laptop is slower than my Desktop iMac and I want to continue editing it on there. "Duplicate Project" no longer works the way it used to, and "Move Project" only moves it between libraries on the computer.

Copy the library and the media to a portable drive and take that to the other machine.

Indesign cs5 - move preview

In InDesign CS5 when you move elements they are previewed right away, as opposed to CS4 where you would just see an outline untill you dropped the element (unless you held down the mouse button longer). Is there a way to use the old CS4 behavior? This is drastically affecting performance, and making moving element very jittery, even on my 8-core mac pro with tons of ram.

As a matter of fact, there is. Edit>preferences>interface. Change Live Screen Drawing to Delayed.

Transfer a final cut pro project to another computer

I would like to take an entire project and open it on another computer (final cut pro). It's a 30-second spot, so there's not a lot of content, but I'm not sure how to go about saving all the pertinent files to DVD. What files do I need to copy to ensure it makes it to its destination without forgetting something...?
Thank you in advance

First you'll need your FCP project file. The other computer will need to be running the EXACT same version if you want to swap back and forth. Then gather all your assets like video, photos, graphics and re-link these in your new project.
Or you could try media manager. I have good luck with it, others do not. Both methods pretty simple once you've done it. Good luck,

Taying to move C5 to another computer

I have a new computer with windows 8. I am trying to move C5 to that computer from my olf computer with windows 7. I used PCmover. The new computer wants key codes. I have no idea where to find them. I do not know if this will work. I really cannot afford to buy Photoshop again.

You must mean the serial number. If you registered CS5, it will be under the account that you registered your product.
If you did not register your product, and you do not have the original CD and box it came on, you took a big gamble.

Transfering CS5 student version to another computer

Hi, I've been reading that you can not transfer the liscence of a CS5 student version to another person, but what does this exactly mean? If I install the software on my desktop computer and my computer dies a week later am I out all the money I put into it? My understanding is that this is to prevent students from sharing the software, but does this mean that there is NO way to get it to another computer that I own or will own if I have trouble with the one that it is on??? help greatly appreciated and wanted

Maybe this will help.
Do Adobe Student and Teacher Editions have restricted functionality?
Student and Teacher Editions have all the features and functionality of the commercial versions. The software may be used only on a privately owned computer, and the user may not transfer or resell ownership of the Adobe Student and Teacher Edition license.
you have to activate the license and can only install it on one computer which means exactly that not what you wrote.
You are reading it as if you want to find a way around this so you can share it with your friends.
Do not try it.
Install it on your computer and use it in good health. Read what is ays above do not listen to what your friends tell you, if you are doing so.
What it says above is very different from what you say you understand, read it again.
