Moving Imovie events from one hard drive to another

I have a Seagate external hard drive that started to fail, and I got a warranty replacement. Following Seagates advice, I moved all the files from one drive to the other by dragging them over. Everything seems to be transferred, but all the events are in one folder now rather than seperate ones for each of my kids games, bithhdays, etc. Is there a way to get it back to seperate folders? Thanks...

How to move an uncompleted iMovie project from one hard drive to another?

I want to move an uncompleted iMovie project form one hard drive to another. What do I move to make sure that all of parts of the project: movies, photos, sound, are moved?

Hi,
You can deploy the ADF Project as an ADF Library Jar file and reuse the taskflow from that jar file in another BPM Application.

I moved my iPhoto libraries from one hard drive to another and have to manually locate the photos, every time!!!

I moved my iPhoto libraries from one hard drive to another and now every time I open a library I have to manually locate the photos. After locating the first file, it works well and remembers the location of the files of all the events, even when the folders containing the actual photos are in several different locations.
The problem is that when I close and open iPhoto, it does not remember where the files were and I have to locate at least a file, all over again.
Does anyone knows if there is a way of making iPhoto "remember" or saving the location of the files?

By default, iPhoto will store its library file under ~/Pictures. To select a library manually in iPhoto:
Ensure that iPhoto is closed.
Hold down the Option key and click on the iPhoto icon in your Dock or launch it from the Applications folder.
Click on Choose Library.
Locate and select the library you wish to use.
Close iPhoto and re-open it. Does it remember the library that you selected?
For more information on moving your iPhoto library, see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1229.
Hope that helps, have a great day.

In Final Cut Pro I was trying to move an Event Library from one hard drive to another as explained in the Help section. After doing so, I received a message that my event is already open with the same identifier as the new one I just creat

In Final Cut Pro I was trying to move an Event Library from one hard drive to another as explained in the Help section. After doing so, I received a message that my event is already open with the same identifier as the new one I just created on the new disk. It says the second document cannot be opened and to move one of these documents out of your Final Cut Events folder. It also says to avoid this problem, copy events from within Final Cut Pro, but that is what I did in the first place. What should I do to avoid the double opening conflict?

Hello I have two hard drives on my mac g4 and the first has 80gig and i only have 10 gig of memory left to fill in my ipod library so... I want to move the itunes library/song data from one hard drive to another, how do I do this? the ipod has the ability to hold 40gig of songs etc. so I know the main hard drive will be full before my ipod will be... I'm new to apple and have had a pc for several years but had too many problems with viruses and like what I've learned so far on my mac thanks for your help out there... you can email me at [email protected] thanks again for any help out there

For the record, hard drives don't hav ememory it is just storage space.
Anyway, in your user folder you would want to drag the Music folder to the other hard drive. Once that is finsihed copying in the iTunes preferences you would want to point iTunes to the new drive and folder for the music folder it should be using.

I think you have to start Creative Cloud application, uninstall those CC applications from "Apps" panel, then click "Preferences..." menu item, select "Apps", change "Install Location" to another hard drive, then install those applications from "Apps" panel again.

How to migrate mail system from one hard drive to another under 10.6.8 in a macpro

how do you migrate mail settings, calendar information, etc from one hard drive to another under 10.6.8 in the same computer? Migration Application does not show this option. It shows from an old computer to another, etc.

You have to install the OS onto the new HD and then use the setup assistant on first boot to migrate from the original HD.

I can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name

can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name. My original external has an error and needs to be reformatted but I dont want to lose this informations its my entire Itunes library.

Sounds like the source drive is formatted as case sensitive and the destination drive is not. The preferred format for OS X is case insensitive unless there is a compelling reason to go case sensitive.
Why can't you change the filename? Is it because the source drive is having problems? If so is this happening with only one or two or a few files? If so the best thing would be to copy those over individually and then rename them on the destination drive.
If it is more then you can do manually and you can't change the name on the source you will have to reformat the destination as case sensitive.
Btw this group is for discussion of the Support Communities itself, you;d do better posting to Lion group. I'll see if a host will move it.

What if you move events from one external drive to another?

I presently have all my iMovie events on one external drive, and I have some projects on my local iMac drive that use clips from the events on the external drive.
What happens to the projects if I use iMovie to move the events from the current external drive to another external drive? If I open one of the projects, will it ask me where to find the event clips, or will I break all my projects?

In theory, if you do it within iMovie, it should work. However, I would recommend that you test a single event first before moving everything.

Moving LR files from one external drive to another

Move the photos using your operating system and then re-connect in Lightroom following these instructions: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders
Do not use this as an opportunity to re-arrange folders or move photos from folder to folder. Just move the entire "tree" of folders.

Can I move system from one hard drive to another?

I am using 10.6.8 on a Mac Pro dual quad core. My hard drive is failing and I want to put the contents including applications and system components on the new drive. I think I have Lepord disks and thought I had Snow lepard disk, but cannot find those. What do I need to do???

Clean install? you need the DVD.
Clone the system: you are fine and you can break it up like most here - system on one drive, data on 2nd
And... you need backups. Clone the system. Use TimeMachine. Have a strategy and redundancy so more than one place and copy. And rotate and buy new drives before they go and have backup and spare on hand.
Consider an SSD for the system, best $104 investment with return on performance.
Clone
Disk utility has RESTORE which will also clone your system but not the Lion Recovery partition. Oddly Apple did not 'endorse' making bootable clone of the system which works too but most choose Carbon Copy Cloner - it works more consistently; it allows for smart update of the backup volume. Both can backup to a sparse disk image if desired.

To successfully relocate your operating system, user accounts and data from one storage device to another, meet the following conditions:
The destination storage device (SSD drive or hard drive) you are migrating to should be physically located in the same computer. Moving operating system files from one computer to another computer using software not specifically designed for that computer can cause issues due to software, hardware, and firmware version mismatches.
Always back up your storage device with Time Machine or Disk Utility before you start.

How to move image from one hard drive to another - T41

Hi All
I have a T41 which has a 30GB hard drive, over the time I have installed quite a few programs which I don't have the cd's for to reinstall. Now that I am almost out of space I need to swap my present Hard Drive with another one. I already bought a 60GB HD for the laptop but I don't want to just swap it, what I want to do is make an image of the existing HD and past it in the new HD and then swap the HD so that I have everything from my previous HD.
Can I do this with Ghost 2003 or maybe with anyother ghost app. Also what if I just make a backup of the registry and system state through windows backup tools then install windows XP in the new HD and then restore the restore the system state and registry from the backup. In this wall I will loose the hidden partition.
Please advice whether I can image of the current HD and then move it to the new HD.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the responses for far, I really appriciate it.
Ok, I have two question for two response I received:
To infocatchjp:
1. I didn't find any connector for "ThinkPad 2nd HDD Adapter for Ultrabay Slim".
2. Rescue and recovey is a windows tool or built in IBM tool.
3. Would it tranfer the program as well and also the hidden partition for the laptop.
To stbigham:
I went to the website for the given software and checked out its feature. My only question is would the software transfer the existing and hidden partition when it is moved to the new HD.
thank you both for your support. Hope to hear from you soon.
