Moving multiple events to a new HD

I have a new external HD. I'm wanting to move many, many events from one external HD to the new one. Seems I can only move one event at a time. If I Command Click to select multiple events then Command and drag, that is not possible. If I click an event then Command and drag to new HD that works fine. Is there a way to move multiple events at once rather than one at a time? Thanks.

No worries.
Either way it should work fine using the command key to highlight many iMovie events and then drag them. Move slowly so that iMovie has a chance to track your motions and make sure the external drive icon lights up in the iMovie interface before you drop the files.
If it still doesn't seem to be working remove the following to the trash and restart the computer:
Home > Library > Caches
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.imovie
If that does not take care of it I would re-post your question in the iMovie forum for further suggestions.
Cheers!

ICal - moving multiple events as group

I see no way to do this

Moving several events into a new calendar...

I am consolidating several different databases and now have too many overlapping calendars in iCal. I'd like to be able to select a dozen or more events in one calendar and move then into another calendar, so I don't need to go into each event individually and change them. Is there a way to do this?
Thank you!
MacBookPro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Aha! They can simply be cut and pasted into a new calendar! Nevermind.... :-))

ICal moving an event to a new date, next week or next months,

CaptainStarwars,
Dragging is not possible under the circumstances that you describe.
You click on the event and use (⌘C) and then (⌘V). if you want to remove the event from the first occurrence use (⌘X), and (⌘V).

Moving multiple TC's to new AirPortExtr/TC

I just bought a 3TB AirportExtreme/TC, which will be the hub of my ethernet/wireless network. Two of our Macs currently use separate, local external Firewire drives for TC backup, and the backup TC files for each are over 200GB. Our goal is to make the AE/TC the backup drive for at least two, maybe more, Macs. Is the following a "best" procedure for porting the existing backup files to the AE/TC?
1) Keep the external drive connected to it's Mac.
2) Connect the Mac to the AE/TC with ethernet
3) Use TM to copy the backup files to the AE/TC hub, and make it the backup location for that Mac.
4) Move the Mac back to wireless, keeping it on the same network

It won't work.. you cannot copy TM backups from local drive to network drive at all easily.. and frankly the hassle is not worth it..
Simply do a new TM backup to the TC. New clean backups over ethernet in the first place are much better and will be more reliable.
Keep the old backups as is for 6months .. if you don't use them in that time they are no longer going to be used, mostly 99.99% of the time. You can then wipe them.
Pondini does give details of how to do it.
See Q18 here. http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
There is an extremely good chance this won't work.

Moving multiple files to a new folder in pages

i know there is any easy way to do this but I forgot! I have 20 files to move to a new folder and I don't want to do it individually. How do I highlight them all and move them to a new folder in the least amount of keystrokes?

Drag over them in Finder or shift click to select all.
Nothing to do with Pages.

Moving multiple projects that reference the same one event...

After a help and advice from several of you here, and watching and rewatching some tutorials, I finally figured out how to properly move/archive projects to an external drive. But I do have at least one question:
Say I copy a project to an external drive along with its referenced event(s). All is well as far as that project concerned, and I want to delete both the project and the event it references from my secondary internal drive. But I have some other versions of that same project I also want to move from the same secondary internal drive to the same external drive. Of course, I don't want to duplicate the referenced event again. So how do I do this?
From the tutorials, I'm guessing the best way to do this would be to duplicate the projects to the external drive. Then, if I find I want to use them, I can open them and link them to the same event on the external drive.
Is that the best way to do this? I don't guess there's any way to move several projects that all reference one event to an external drive in a way that automatically links them to that event on the new drive?

Hi Russ--
Thanks for the link to the tutorial. I'll definitely watch it. It's actually by the same people that did the tutorials I'm using, but it might have some new information or help reinforce things.
My particular problem was moving over the other project files to go with the event that I already moved. I didn't know how to link them to that newly-created event on the new drive, but, it turns out it's pretty automatic as long as the event has the same name.

How do I copy multiple events from a single calendar to another calendar?

I have multiple events from my "Family" calendar that I want to move. I would like to create a new calendar and move only specific events from my "Family" calendar to this new calendar. I have tried to select each event, then export, but this doesn't seem to work. It seems to export all events in the "Family" calendar, not just the ones that have been selected. Is there any way to do this aside from exporting each event one at a time and reimporting to a new calendar?

Drag them there. The volume they’re put onto needs to be formatted as Mac OS Extended.

How do I split a single event with many clips into multiples events, one event per date?

I archived the video from my AVCHD camera into a Final Cut video archive. Later I imported this into iMovie. All the clips from this archive (spanning several months) are dumped into a single event. If I recall, older versions of iMovie would import video into separate events for each day. Then I would go through and give each event a meaningful name (e.g., "Mary's Birthday").
This is what I would like. Is there a way to split this very long event into multiple events, one for each day that is present in the event?

Not automatically but with imovie 10 you can create new events with any name you like then move clips into them from other events (Just like FCP 10.1). See:
http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/#mov1d890f00b
You can also choose to display clips in an event grouped by date.

Using Multiple Event Listeners

Hi,
I have a movielcip (A) class in which I have used a Tween class effect on a child movieclip (B) scrollRect. The (B) Movieclip in turn has several movieclips whose have tween class effect being executed on thier child movieclips.
the tweens are all unique to each movieclip
and the event listeners are taken off once completed.
This works all well and good in FLASH IDE...
My problem arises when I try to view this in a browser on a Windows XP
it doesnt work in
Opera Version 9.63
Firefox 2.0
and Google Chrome 2.0
The only browser it works fluently in is
Internet Explorer 7.0.5
What is happening in most cases it that the animation appears to "stick" but i think what may be happening is the listening or removal of the event listeners. The animations are left incompleted.
Is there any rule of thumb when using multiple event listeners?
here is a snippet of some of my code
on click event from movieclip (A)
private function scrollToSlidePrev(e:MouseEvent) {
               if (((slideIndex - 1) >= 0)) {
                    nextButton.mouseEnabled = nextButton.enabled = previousButton.enabled = previousButton.mouseEnabled = false;
                    var position:Number = 0-SLIDEAREA.width;
                    var slide1:TileListSlide = slides[slideIndex] as TileListSlide;
                    var slide2:TileListSlide = slides[--slideIndex] as TileListSlide;
                    scrollSlide(position,slide1,slide2);
tween animation in movieclip (A) on (B)
private function scrollSlide(pos:int,slide1:TileListSlide,slide2:TileListSlide) {
               slide1.resizeSlideTo(0.6); // execute tween on child movie clips in B
               slide2.resizeSlideTo(1); // same as above;
               var rect:Rectangle = sliderMc.scrollRect;
               var tween1:Tween = new Tween(rect,"x",Regular.easeOut,rect.x,rect.x + pos,3,true);
               tween1.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_CHANGE,setSliderScroll,false,4);
               tween1.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH,toggleButtonEnabled,false,3);
tween animation in movieclip (B) children
public function resizeSlideTo(sc) {
               var m:Matrix = tileList.transform.matrix as Matrix;
               var p:Point = new Point (m.a, 0);
               var tween2:Tween = new Tween(p,"x",Regular.easeOut,p.x,sc,3,true);
               if (numericStepper != null) {
                    if (sc != 1) {
                         numericStepper.visible = false;
                         tween2.removeEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH,showStepper);
                    if (sc === 1) {
                         tween2.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH,showStepper,false,2);
               tween2.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_CHANGE,setScaleOnScroll,false,3);
here is the link
http://visual_admin.web.aplus.net/ticker/ticker_widget.html
the effect disables and re-enables the buttons when its done.... then the listeners are removed.
each one with the exception cretes its own unique tween (obviously this is a custom class built as each clip)
i really don't know what to make of it guys

apparantly making the tween a property of the class rather than a random variable in a function worked.....go figure

Splitting photos without creating multiple events.

Is this possible? I have one event in iPhoto which covers three days. I would like all my photos from this event together but I want each day sectioned off in the same event, not split into multiple events. Highlighting the photos from each day and clicking "split" puts the days all in separate events where as I want them sectioned off, but together in ONE event. I hope I am making myself clear.
My aim is to have it looking something like this:
Event:
Day 1
Day 2
Day 3
NOT
Event: Day 1
Event: Day 2
Event: Day 3

tensocfan
Now with Events as you cannot have Nested Events, but it's perfectly possible with Albums:
File -> New Folder: Name it 3 Day Event
Then three Albums (you can even make them smart Albums: Date is Whatever)
And drag the Albums to the Folder.

Is it possible to handle multiple events using Jscript for a button in Apex

Hi,
I've application wherein in one of the pages for a button, I need to trigger 2 events as: 1. redirect to a new page upon 'click' of the button
2. display a set of values on 'mouse over' that button.
I'm able to handle both separately, but not in one button. I would like to know if there is any limitation in Apex that we cant handle multiple events? Currently I've put a text item near the button, and called the Jscript for mouse over event in that as a temporary workaround. Can someone let me know if this is feasible? If not any other alternative to handle this?
Thanks in advance,
gsachidh

Hi Gsachidh,
well interesting problem you're facinng. Indeed, it can't be specified using the 'Button Attributes' So we have to come up with an workaround.
A quick en dirty solution would be to specify it with the 'Optional URL Redirect options'. In a normal button, with processing on same page, this would be 'no target'. but in case of additional things to be done this can be used, using an target URL. I used this many times, in example with popUp windows for refreshing the caller object when changes are made. In your case we have to add next to the href an onmouseover event. this can be done with;
Target set to => URL
URL - target => javascript:doSubmit('<button_name>');" onMouseOver="javascript:showTooltip('tooltip');"
Here the " is the key, letting ApEx know the target (href) is doSubmit('<button_name>'), just like when no target would be specified and adding a new javascript event; onMouseOver.
Although this is a dirty solution in my opinion, it is the best i could come up with. I have another idea in how to do this, that is by adding this event dynamically with javascript with an addEvent. But i don't have an example at the moment for this scenario.

Select and move multiple events at once

I´m trying to find a command who let me select and move/drag several events for example 15 min down/later in the day. Maybe I have dreamt it but I think I have used ealier a command where I could use this forgotten command and by pressing down the left mouse click over the events I could select the events at once. I think this is much easier than command + click all the individual events. Next question is, how can I move several event at once. I have tried control + arrow down but that only lets me move one individual event. Not multiple, even if I have marked several. I don´t won´t to copy paste. Since I think this is a slower procedure. I´m pretty sure I have done this the "right" way before but could someone remind me of how it should be done I would be very thankful!

Hi everybody - thanks for using my tip BUT BE AWARE!!!!
The move function in the current iMovie 09 version STILL has a very serious bug.
Whenever you move an event to a different disc, iMovie loses the Favourite/Reject and Keyword information. This can be a real drama when you rely on this information and find out that all this info has gone on the new disc.
There is ANOTHER workaround though (sigh). You Select multiple events (like described in my tip before) and then you do COPY (and not move).
Then you have duplicate events and you can delete the original. But the metadata will be present in the copy. I just found this solution in this thread

Move multiple events into one album

Hi,
I am trying to tidy up our photos on iPhoto.
Is there a fast, easy way to move multiple 'Events' into one 'Folder'
For example:
We have all of our photos from our honeymoon in Europe saved as seperate 'Events' According to the location. It was a 3 month trip so there are a lot of 'Events' or locations. Is there a way i can select all of them and put them into the Honeymoon 'folder' without them all merging into one big album?
I want to keep them as separate events within the folder so we can remember where they were taken.
I have been trying to drag the 'Event' over to the Honeymoon 'Folder' but instead of just going straight in there it creates a new unnamed folder on the left panel, and then i have to drag the event up to the honeymoon folder and delete the unnamed folder. It is proving rather time consuming and i have over 12000 photos to sort.
Any help would be great. Simple terms please!!
Thanks

lf you drag an event onto a folder in the left hand pane the photos in that Event will be added to a new album in that folder with the same name as the Event. .

IPhoto book from multiple events.

How do you create an iPhoto book from multiple events/albums? I start making a new book based on an album, but then want to add pictures from another event and another album. Can this be done and how?

Sure - once you create the book it is totally disconnected form teh source - to add simply drag photos from any source to the book project in the source pane on the left
