Quickest way to transfer iMovie 09 Files from Macbook Pro to iMac

Hello:
We recently got an iMac and I would like to transfer my iMovie 09 files from my macbook pro to the iMac which also has iMovie 09. Can you suggest the quickest and easiest way to do this? I am assumign this can be done since they are both iMovie 09-anyhelp is appreciated

Huh.
Well, my approach has always been:
1. Click the "Consolidate Media" menu in File, and click the buttons to move all source materials into the project.
2. Shut down iMovie
3. Navigate to Movies/iMovie Projects in Finder, and copy the corresponding project over to the other machine's Movies/iMovie Projects folder.
4. Start up iMovie on the other machine.
I don't do much video (mostly photo slideshows) in iMovie, but this certainly hasn't caused me any problems before. iMovie just sees the new item in its iMovie Projects folder and allows you to select it.

  • Best way to "transfer" Aperture images from MacBook Pro to iMac?

    I recently purchased a MacBook Pro 15" to import and edit images (within Aperture and CS6 as an external editor) when I'm out in the field shooting.
    I prefer to have all my images in one location and thus desire to copy eveything to my home base iMac when I return home.
    What is the best way to "transfer" those images so that my homebase iMac Aperture Library can recognize the new masters and edited versions?  Complicating this is the desire to "stamp" each image with a metadata preset upon import that I can do either at the laptop import or upon transfer to the iMac.
    I know just enough to be dangerous but clearly there is an optimal way to consolidate and manage images when using two computers.
    Welcome any thoughts from fellow photographers!
    Chris

    Thanks Kirby.  I utilize Aperture 3 by reference instead of a compiled library.  So I have individual folder/projects stored on my laptop.  By exporting as a library, does Aperture bring these folders and related images "with it"?
    What I don't want to lose is any post processing I do in the field which creates separate versions and/or .PSD files.
    Thanks for your continued assistance.

  • How to transfer large files from macbook pro to External Hard Drive?

    I want to transfer a file from my Mac to an external hard drive, it says "The item “File name” can’t be copied because it is too large for the volume's format."
    I am trapped, if there is any way you could suggest me to overcome this problem I will be grateful.

    I may be wrong, but I believe the format has something to do with it - note the sizes here (from the Help in Disk Utility on how to format a drive for Windows):

  • How do i transfer my data from macbook pro to iMac?

    i just bought a iMac.  How do i transfer my itunes library, photos, files via bluetooth from macbook pro to my iMac?  Much thanks for your help!

    I believe that when you boot your computer for the first time and you are following the onscreen instructions you are prompted whether you want to transfer data from an old mac or PC. If you click 'transfer from an old mac' and follow the onscreen instructions, this may work.
    If you have already skipped this step you could use iCloud to transfer data. If you make sure that everything you want to transfer is synced in iCloud, this may also work.

  • Transfer few files from Macbook Pro to iPad 2

    I It says i need to click Apps ( i think it in Itunes) and then activate filesharing at the bottom after it is connected to computer's usb to from Ipad 2
    I need more documentation.

    Different apps will have different ways of copying their content to/from a computer, so it will depend upon what the apps that you want to transfer the files to supports e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via your wifi network, email, dropbox etc.

  • Transfer FCP License from Macbook Pro to iMac

    I am about to begin editing a huge project, and currently I have Final Cut Pro 7 on my Macbook Pro Version 10.6.8. I am fine to edit on this computer, but I would prefer to edit on an iMac that formerly belonged to a friend but I now have in my possession.
    So my question is: what are the steps to transferring my FCP license from my Macbook Pro to the iMac?
    I do a lot of traveling and editing, so I do not want this to be a permanent transfer. How will I then be able to transfer the FCP license back to the Macbook Pro in a few months?
    Thanks!

    The FCP license allows a desktop and laptop installation just so long as they are not used simultaneously.
    Install the software and have at it.

  • What is the best way to transfer iPhoto from MacBook Pro to iMac?

    What is the best way to transfer iPhoto from MacBook Pro to iMac?

    the only way is Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

  • How do you move iMovies from MacBook Pro to iMac?

    How do you move iMovies from MacBook Pro to iMac?  I started some projects on my MacBook Pro but would rather have the larger working area provided on the iMac large 27 inch screen. 

    Hi there rainyri!
    The easiest way for you to do this is to transfer the information to an external drive as an intermediary, then transfer the information from your drive to the internal drive on your iMac. We have an article that explains the steps for doing this, and it can be found here:

  • I can't transfer my data from macbook pro to iPhone 5?

    I can't transfer my data from macbook pro to iphone 5?????
    Is there anyone to help me?
    Thanks in advance.

    This should work, how did you do? Explain ‘I can’t transfer my files’. You are in the new mac, the older mac is connected via wl network or eth, it is detected and mounted, and does not work?
    Firewire would be better, probably with a 400-to-800 fw adapter (6 to 9 pin).
