Moving an imovie file from one mac to another

My mac says it's too big to burn the file onto a disk and I don't have a DVD burner. So I've been trying to move the file to my friends mac. I've tried to export the movie and made it a DVD project and burned it as just a normal data file but when i try to open it onto my friends computer there are missing components. Now I've given up i just want the imovie to be on my friends computer.

Welcome to the forums.
The iDVD projects don't transfer because they are not self-contained -- they are drawing information from the iMovie projects. If you Shared/Exported from iMovie to Full-Quality Quicktime, and the resulting file was bigger than 4.5ish gigs, then some options (rather than a data DVD) are:
- connect your two Macs with Firewire or Ethernet and transfer the Quicktime file (I have a small Ethernet network that was very easy to set up).
- use an external hard drive to transport the Quicktime file.
- use Quicktime Pro (or similar) to break up the large Quicktime file into pieces that will fit on a DVD (I think Roxio's Toast 8 automatically splits files across multiple media).
The Quicktime file will be smaller (perhaps dramatically smaller) than the iMovie files, and it will be self-contained. Perhaps do a search in the forum and see if there are some other ideas for transferring video files/iMovie projects between computers.

How do i transfer files from one mac to another?

how do i transfer my files from one mac to another mac?

I normally use an External Hard Drive or Flash Drive for moving files from both Mac's and PC's, but if you want to move from an old Mac to a new one see > How to use Migration Assistant to transfer files from another Mac

I have no problems copying iMovie Events from one Mac to another, however, how can I copy iMovie Projects from one Mac to another?

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.

How do you transfer the stickie data file from one mac to another?

I think this is the file -
In (hard drive) > Users > yourhomefolder (the one with the house icon) > Library, look for a loose file named StickiesDatabase
Copying that file to the same location on the new machine (and replacing the file there now) should move the notes. It is probably a good idea that both machines be running the same OS X version.

Since I migrated my files from one Mac to another and am now running Yosemite, Photoshop Elements 9 (adequate for what I do) is not showing the previous functionality on some of the tools. I have uninstalled/reinstalled twice to no avail.

Since I migrated my files from one Mac to another and am now running Yosemite, Photoshop Elements 9 (adequate for what I do) is not showing the previous functionality on some of the tools. I have uninstalled/reinstalled twice to no avail. Is there a fix? Also, when I tried to update, it comes up with this error.

I have a similar problem. I found out that my macbook air created a new USER with my former's computer user name. You can check that by going into System Preferences -> User & Groups, and see if a "Other user" has been created. You have to login under this new USER to find your transferred contacts in the address book.
My problem is that I do not know how to merge the 2 USER logins or transfer the data from the new USER created into the existing one.

Moving iPhone App Project from one Mac to Another...HELP!!

Hey guys,
Im new to programming. I made a simple app and I want to most it from one mac to another. I copied the folder and tried running it but it gave me a whole bunch of errors along the lines of:
- directory not writable
- permission failed
- errors permission denied
etc...
I do not know what I am doing wrong. Please please help!

Hi GadgetAddicted & welcome to discussions...
It sounds like you're not using the original locations that are constructed when Xcode is first installed.
If your second install is the same as the original, moving a simple project that is intact to begin with shouldn't be a problem.
Be sure that all the resources related to that project are local to the original project (inside the same parent folder), and then duplicate the parent folder...move that, but be sure the name of the parent folder in the second location is the same as in the original.
Repair permissions via Disk Utility after the move.

PGP encryption and moving of a file from one system to another

Hi All,
Could you please provide me the necessary information in setting up the below jobs in Redwood CPS.
a) How can i do pgp encryption to a file in a SAP system?. Could you please provide me the necessary steps.
b) How can i do pgp encryption to a file in a non SAP system?. Could you please provide me the necessary steps.
b) Can i move a file from one SAP system to another SAP system(example ECC to BI)?. If so, could you please provide me the necessary steps.
c) Can i move a file from a SAP system to a Non- SAP system?. If so, could you please provide me the necessary steps.
d) Can i move a file from a Non-SAP system to another Non- SAP system?. If so, could you please provide me the necessary steps.
e)How can i ftp a file and move it to a different network?. Could you please provide me the necessary steps.
Thank you in advance.
Thanks and Regards,
Ramana

Hi Ramana,
a) You have a file in an SAP system that you want to encrypt, I you have the full path to the file, you can create and use an appropriate external command to perform the encryption, unless you know of an ABAP program to do that. Once you know which option you have, you can either schedule SAP_AbapRun to run the ABAP to encrypt the file, or SAP_ExternalCommandRun if you have an external command defined for the process.
b) On the target system, you install a platform agent (license required) and check which command you have for pgp encryption. On Unix, you would use gpg. Simply create a BASH job definition with a String parameter named File and fill the following source: gpg -e -u `whoami` -r [email protected] <${File} > $File"_encrypted"
b2) Talk to your SAP Basis team, you could use SAP CTS/STMS for that, you could integrate that into CPS
c)I imaging the file is an output of an ABAP program ? Run the ABAP program from within CPS with SAP_AbapRun, then the file will be on the CPS server, you can then copy the file to the target host, again, platform agents required on CPS system. You can use FTP, sFTP, SCP, NFS, CIFS (Windows share) whatever your platform requires.
d) Platform agents required on source system. Target system must have windows share/NFS/SSHD/FTP or whatever you could use for file transfers
e)Please see the documentation on jftp.

Can i move an unfinished imovie project from one mac to another

so i started a project in imovie on my parents mac and now i want to finish it off on my macbook. is there anyway I can transfer the project????

Yup. however, seeing as how it isn't finalized, well this ought to work.
1-connect up your macbook to your parents' mac (file sharing?)
2-open up iMovie (on your parents' mac)
3-click on "project library" in the upper right hand corner of your iMovie window. You should see your other hard drive there, also. drag your project to this drive. If a message comes up about "project" or "project and events", choose project and events
4-launch iMovie (on your macbook) click on Project Library. and the one your transferred should be there. drag it to the iMovie projects list and it should work
oh, one last thing. Both your parents' mac and your macbook should have the same version of iMovie for this to work, so I've been told

How do I Import my iWeb Files from one Mac to Another

I have iWeb files that are on one Mac and want to import to another Mac.
How do I do this with having one domain file, completely erase the other domain file that has different files?
This is BRUTAL trying to move, copy and import iWeb files between family Macs!!!

You are actually better to split your domain file so that each site can be loaded individually into iWeb and published separately. See....
http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWebMultiplewebsites.html
You'll note from this that you can also use a third party application to handle these file and iWebsites used to have a merge function. I don't use it so I don't know if it works with the latest version of iWeb.

Transfer Time Capsule Files From One Mac to Another

I have a MacBook Pro that is on the blink and I can't afford to fix it right now. Can I transfer some of the files from my Time Capsule to my son's MacBook Pro?

Hi, and welcome to the forums.
You have a couple of options.
You could use +Migration Assistant+ to transfer your user account to the other Mac. You can select/omit the top-level folders in your home folder, but not within them. See #19 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum) for details.
You could restore selected items from your backups to the other Mac. Probably your best bet would be to use Migration Assistant to transfer just your account (name and password), but omit the data files, then restore selectively via the +*Browse . . .+* option. See #17 in the FAQ.

Moving uploaded VSIX files from one account into another

Hey guys,
I want to ask you if it is possible to move already uploaded and published VSIX files from account into another.
Our case is the following, our company made 2 accounts and we want to merge them as one. However, if I test this scenario with another accounts, it fails. What I do:
1. Upload with Account1
2. Unpublish and delete the uploaded VSIX
3. Try to upload the same VSIX using Account2
4. I get "Your VSIX ID already exists on the site" error (re-uploading using Account1 works fine!)
Any help is appreciated.
Greetings! :)

Hi SteliyanStoyanov,
As far as I know, there's no such kind of feature, to merge two accounts as one in the VSGallery site. The reason for the "VSIX ID already exists" error may be that it will take some time to take effect after you delete an uploaded VSIX. So you
can try it after a few hours. Or change the VSIX ID and reupload all the extensions.

Publish Error after copying domain file from one mac to another

Hello there,
so here is the problem: I have had iweb installed on a MBP, and a website up and running. Now that I just bought an iMac I wanted to transfer all the iWeb over to the iMac and make it the main machine. I was doing all the transfer work manually rather than using the migration assistant or time machine.
I have copied the domain file in the iWeb directory over to the iMac. iWeb starts and displays all the pages and sites normally, but when I try to publish I get the " Publish Error. An unknown error occurred" message.
On the MBP everything was/is working normally.
I have tried to copy the same file again, no change. I have deleted the preference file, no change.
I have tried publishing to a local folder, and get the same error message.
Does anybody have an idea how to get this fixed? I browsed through the discussions here but couldn't find anything regarding this specific issue.
cheers
grani

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try the following:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - go to your User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete the contents.
3 - reboot.
4 - launch iWeb and try to publish.
If that doesn't help continue:
5 - move the domain file from your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
6 - launch iWeb, create a new test site and save.
7 - go to the your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
8 - move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
9 - launch iWeb and try again.
