Moving Multitake Project From one Machine to Another?

Hello all,
I just finished a multitake session of ADR on my Macbook Pro. I want to do the hardcore review and editing/mixing of the session on my Mac Pro. I tried moving the project file as well as the contents of the "Edited Media", "Recordings" and "Temporary Files" (found in the "Documents" folder) to the Mac Pro, but STP keeps crashing. I can open the session fine on the laptop.
Is there something I missed in the move? I moved everything to the same/correct folders on the Mac Pro and both machines are running STP version 2.0.2.
FYI: The laptop is running 10.5.6, but the Mac Pro (for arcane reasons I won't bore you with) is currently at 10.4.11.
Any ideas or advice would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Best,
Patrick

Hello MacEnstien
I read your response to the previous question. And I have a similar problem. When I did the "Save As" I collected the files. Dropped them onto my external drive and dumped them on my laptop. And on my laptop when I open the project everything works but I can't see the video clip? What should I do?

Moving iWeb designs from one machine to another?

Okay,
I've had time to use iLife apps enough to figure out a few things in the new "iWeb", but here is one that scratches my brain.
Where does iWeb save designs?
I have a design I have created on my PBook, but I would love to move it to my G5 so that I can work in it when I get home? -But where does it save the assets to the current pages? -am I stuck on creating and managing pages on one machine? And if I do, is there no way from the source area to be able to select a page and delete it from the site structure if I don't like the design or content?

Problem Moving Project from One Machine to Another

Hi.
I teach in the school of communication at a university. Tonight, I tried to share a FCP project with my students in a lab setting. I wanted them to continue to edit what I had started.
I gave each of them the FCP project folder on a thumb drive. They downloaded the folder to their desktop.
When they launched the project they got the "Media Offline" window. There is only one file, a WAV file, in the project, so it was easy to find and reconnect.
The problem was that each of them got an error message about the "Media Start and End."
I had cut the single WAV file into a much shorter edit, and all those edits went all screwy, I believe due to this error. For instance, the WAV file is an interview, and I'd cut out the interviewer's questions, leaving only the subject's replies. But when my students opened the project, the edits I'd made included the interviewer's questions, left out some of the subject's answers, etc.
I'd really appreciate any input on what I need to do in order for a project to open on a student's computer exactly as I have saved it on my computer(s).
Thanks very much.

Go back to your original project file. Give the original media a *Reel Name*.
Use Media Manager (in the File menu bar item) to consolidate a linked copy of the media and its project file to a folder of your choosing.
Detailed information on using Media Manager can be found in the FCP User Manual.

Moving a project from one library to another

I created a new library for my 2013 photos and imported some photos from my camera. In my previous library (last year's photos), is a project for January 2013 PhotoStream pictures, and I'd like that in my new 2013 library. How can I do this? I have the most current version of Aperture.

The size of the library is not critical for the overall performance. You may notice a little reduce in speed, if the projects are gigantic. I would not put thousands of images into one single project.
But it is more important to keep plenty of free disk space on your system drive, and to have the Aperture library on a fast drive with a fast connection. Also fix your Aperture library by repairing it, if you had a crash or you force quit Aperture.
If Aperture is slow, try to find out, what it is doing by looking at the Activity window (Window > Show Activity). There you can see, if Aperture is processing previews, scanning for faces, etc. Sometimes Aperture is processing the same image over and over again. If you see this happen, remove the the image from the library. Probably it is corrupted.

Moving "responses" file from one machine to another.

I created a distributed form using Adobe Acrobat Pro and Acrobat.com and the data collection works correctly. However when I try to move the responses PDF to another machine it loses the ability to update.
Is there a fix for this or are you only able to receive responses on the machine that created the form?

The forms were created in Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES on Windows XP SP3. I have attempted to distribute the forms from both LiveCycle and Adobe Acrobat 9 (though it looks like the distribution process works the same regardless of the program that starts it). I selected Acrobat.com to manage my responses and Acrobat 9 created a FileName_responses.PDF and FileName_distributed.PDF file.
The distributed form works perfectly and allows users to input information and submit the form online.
The responses file is able to collect data and update with new information. However once I move the responses file to my laptop (it was created on my desktop) and open it in Adobe Acrobat 9 the responses file no longer automatically updates when I open it and I'm not able to click "Update" as it is grayed out.
The file does not show as a distributed form in the tracker window despite being logged into Adobe Acrobat 9 with the same Acrobat.com login information as my desktop.
The file is not in the same directory structure on both machines as they have different Windows user names and both files are placed on the Desktop.
I'm not sure what method of submission I'm using other than Acrobat.com via the web using a submit button in the PDF.
Thanks for the help.

Help moving a user from one machine to another

We used Acronis True Image to take an image of his machine to move it to the new hardware (so that he would not lose any of his settings). His PC has a fault in the board and while it still functions, we needed to move his to another tower. However, now his install of Acrobat XI Pro is requesting a username and password to continue to use his trial copy. This was not a trial copy and there is no way for me to put his license key in again because it will not let us get any further than this prompt for a user ID. I don't want to have to reinstall this program if I can avoid it.

Hi jamesy11187,
Was acrobat Registered using this user's Adobe ID? Did you tried signin-in using user's Adobe Credentials?
I would recommend you to refer this link (Find your serial number quickly ) and let me know if it helps.

Moving a project from one mac to another & fonts

iMovie is so easy to use but I have struck two snags...
I'm working on a video on my iMac but want to also be able to work on it on my iBook. Is this possible and if so, what files do I have to move around?
Also, I've installed a font (through font book), but it doesn't appear in my list of fonts for titles. Have I done something wrong?
Thanks (this iMovie thing is totally addictive, isn't it?)

Hi dawdle -
I'm working on a video on my iMac but want to also be able to work on it on my iBook. Is this possible and if so, what files do I have to move around?
You would need to transfer the whole project 'package'.
To do that, you can use Target Disk Mode, where both computers are linked via firewire. BUT the problem here is that you are then working on a copy of your iMac's original. This would obviously cause big problems!
The best solution would be to store your project on an external drive, which then can be connected to either computer.

Moving entire project from one comp. to another

All of My work is on My mac pro, Basement studio. I purchased the I Mac for My 2nd floor office. I loaded logic 9 into it. I wont really be doing any final mixing on the I mac due to the speakers or headphones. But more just to experiment and learn the more complex operations of logic which would = less dumb questions for you guys. So My question is how do I copy and move the whole song project automation, etc. I have no 3rd party plugins. Oh and My wife wont break my chops as much being gone for hours in the basement!! Thanks in advance, Bill

You save your project *Including Assets* to it's project folder.
http://documentation.apple.com/en/logicpro/usermanual/index.html#chapter=43%26se ction=11%26tasks=true
...and now you can copy the whole project folder onto a thumb drive and transport it to the other Mac.
...on the other hand, your wife could just join you in the basement...

Moving Events and Projects from one location to another on the same hard drive.

Hello.
I've searched in the FCP X User Manual, on this forum and in Google, but have found no explanation of how to do this, so I'm posting this here in hopes that someone in our community will be able to help.
I've previously stored my FCP X Events and Projects folders on an external 3TB hard drive, because there is more room on it than on the internal 1TB hard drive, but, since then, I've worked with other media apps, for video, photography and audio, the files for which are also stored on the external hard drive, and this has created a bit of clutter with no folder structure to keep it tidy.
I like an organised file structure on my system, to keep it uncluttered, easy to navigate and efficient to use, so I put all the files for my photography, video and audio apps into their own folders, which are, in turn, stored in their appropriate folders for Audio, Photography and Video, and those three folders are stored in a folder called Media, and then I directed each app to its own files.
The only app with which this has been a problem is FCP X. While there is a way of relocating projects and events from within FCP X, it allows the user to move them from one hard drive to another, and not, as I want, from one place to another on the same hard drive.
I'm not sure if it matters, but perhaps it's relevant to mention before the next paragraph that the files that had previously been imported as events are, to save hard-drive space, stored in the events folder as shortcuts to the original files, which are stored elsewhere on the drive, rather than as duplicates of those files.
In Finder, I copied the Events and Projects folders to their intended new locations and tried in the app to link the events and projects to their new Finder location. It seemed to have worked, until I moved the original folders to the Trash. On re-opening FCP X, it was clear that the linking hadn't worked. I returned the original folders from the Trash to their original location, but that didn't entirely reverse the problem. I noticed also that, in the original and duplicated Events folders, the shortcuts had lost their links to the original files stored elswehere on the drive.
Fortunately I had run a backup before starting, so I restored the original folders and the app from the backup, and all was back to normal.
I'd be grateful if anyone could advise me on whether or not it's possible to move FCP X events and projects from one place to another on the same hard drive with the app's compliance.
Thank you.

Do some testing to get your method working right with some less than important footage.
Copy/paste files where you want then.
Use the FCE Reconnect feature to tell FCE where the newly copied files reside.
Make sure the new location and files are working as expected with your Projects.
Delete the original files if no longer required.

Moved iMovie 09 project from one computer to another - now timing is wrong!

Hello,
I wanted to copy some Events and Projects from my Dad's older MacBook Pro to my iMac. So I just copied the event folders (from <Home Directory>/Movies/iMovie Events/) and the project files (from <Home Directory>/Movies/iMovie Projects/) to the corresponding folders on my iMac.
I then opened up iMovie on my iMac and saw that the Events and Projects were there. So far, so good.
The first problem I noticed was when I exported one of the projects from my iMac using QuickTime. The duration of the resulting .MOV file was about 30 seconds shorter than the duration of the project!
I watched the Project in iMovie, and found that the clips in the Project were 'cut off'. For example, the clip in the Project would say it was 10 seconds long, but when you played the Project the clip was only 7 seconds long.
How could this be? Is the speed of the Project somehow tied to the computer that created the project? i.e. perhaps the speed of the processor could impact this? I highly doubt it, as it would make it impossible to move projects from one computer to another.
Bottom line - the identical Project file on my iMac (with the same underlying events) will produce a different exported movie file than the exact same Project file on my Dad's laptop. Specifically, my version will be shorter and the clips will be cut off.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated....

The macrumours link just telss you how to move the events which is relatively straightforward.
Alot of advice just seems to rest with leave the projects on your internal drive as they don't take up much space.
However, http://karsten.schluter.googlepages.com/im08tricks has a description of how to move the projects and then 'fool' imovie into where the projects are stored.
Not very flexible but it does allow you to 'clear' your macbook yet when you restore the sym-link file to the right place and restart imovie you can reconnect to all your old projects and events without yellow triangles of death appearing.
By the by apple needs to sort this out as archiving old projects and events together and preserve the editing is a really basic requirment I think.
PS anyone found out how to merge projects yet? Another basic function that seems to be lacking.

What is the easiest way to transfer a large imovie project from one computer to another in a different location.

What is the easiest way to transfer an faairly large HD imovie project from one computer to another in a different location. Can you export to drop box? Will the other computer need the exact imovie version?

OK it depends.
If you have a finished movie, you can SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE and create your final movie. Then, depending on the size of the finished movie, you can transfer via dropbox or similar service. Ninety minutes is a very long movie for iMovie, but it may work for you. I would suggest 720P to keep the size down.
If you need to transfer the entire iMovie Project so it can be edited in iMovie at the other end, then you need to transfer the project and event assets to an external hard drive and get the hard drive to the other location.
Directions are here. Follow the directions for 1) Moving or copying Project to external drive. Then 2) Consolidate Media.

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.

Recovering data from one machine to another

Hi all;
I've mentioned this in another thread but would really like to deal with it. Recently, I had to move my iPhone from one machine to another. All was well and I managed to move all my apps from one machine to the current one. The problem is with a purchased app called TripLog that stores data on driven mileage. On moving the app over, I didn't get the data.
I contacted the software people and this is what I got:
"As far as data, the iTunes software automatically backs up all data to the desktop. The "Apple data" (contacts, calendar, etc) are backed up to the corresponding desktop apps (Address Book, iCal, etc) but data from "3rd party" apps are backed up in an encrypted, totally nonaccessible (to anyone but iTunes) format. That is used by iTunes when you do a "Restore".
"I would call Apple tech support if I were you, because unfortunately, that's all we know. The data IS somewhere on the desktop (I believe) but how you could transfer it to a new handheld I have no idea."
So the question is, Where is that data stored? In my user/Music/iTunes/Mobile Apps folder there were three versions of this app. I tried moving them all over and kept getting dialogs asking me if I wanted to repace an older version with the newer ones I was moving over. Since my iPhone and the new host computer didn't have TripLog I assumed I should replace but now I am not sure.
I can stil move over these files, but I have a feeling that they are not data so much as simply the app itself. Where is that data stored?
For the record, I have moved files from an iMac G5 to a Macbook running 10.6.1 and iTunes 9.0.1 with an iPhone 3G running 3.0.1
Help?
Stan

Many thanks!!! One more question; do I just move that file over and drag and drop or do I need to do an import into the folder, "Automatically Add to iTunes?" Further, will this affect all my data on the phone? For example, I have synced and made changes in things like iCal, Address Book, Mail, etc. Will the last few days be wiped out or replaced by the moved-in data?
