Transfer files from one computer to another

I have a project that I created on my home computer (iMac), but need to transfer to my computer at work (Mac Pro). I saved all of the project files onto my external hard drive to transfer, but when I save them onto my computer at work and try to open the files, iMovie won't read it. I can't drag it in and I can't import it because it is grayed out. I would like to be able to edit this file on this computer, but how??
Both of the computers have iMovie '09- why is this such an issue?

I've done this. You'll need an external hard drive. See iMovie help "Copying or moving a project to an external hard disk". Once it's copied, connect the hard drive to your work computer and edit away. As far as copying to your work computer, I'm not sure how that is done. Good luck.

  • How try transfer files from one computer to another

    I have an imac and now I have a new macbook pro 15". Is there an easy way to have my macbook pro behave like a disk drive hooked up to my imac so I can drag and drop files from my macbook pro to my imac?

    Better, use +Setup Assistant+ to transfer all your stuff automatically.

  • Transfer files from one computer to another thru wireless network

    I have a new IMAC , and a Macbook Pro, which has a lot of files that I would like to transfer to the new IMAC, I also have a Time Capsule and both computers are set up on the same network. Can I do this? How do I ask to access the Macbook Pro from the IMAC?

    Wireless would be my last choice.
    Using a wired network would be faster.
    Faster file transfer would be to boot the source of the files in target ddisk mode and connect the two Macs together by FireWire.

  • How Can I Transfer Files From  One Computer To Another

    I was wondering if it is possible to connect two computers by an ethernet cable and share files between them. I have a wireless router but I don't want to set up a network and I am only going to use this once to put some iTunes songs on my laptop.

    Yes. Look in your Window Help for "file sharing", or search the web for "Windows XP file sharing" and you'll find information and instructions. You'll probably need a crossover Ethernet cable to get your two systems to communicate.

  • I bought a new laptop and used Windows Easy Transfer cable and moved all files from one computer to another. I installed iTunes and found my iTunes music Library.  However, when I plug in my iPod it says it is already synced with another iTunes Library.

    I don't see anything in Help that shows when you already have transfered all the files over.  Why would it want to erase and sync when I already have all the music folder copied over?  I didn't have an issue when I had another technician copy from one laptop to another.  Home sharing is also on but not being recognized.

    I suspect you only migrated the media folder instead of the complete working library. Either review the transfer process and copy over the entire iTunes folder from your old profile's music folder or see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • Transfer iweb files from one computer to another

    Does anyone know how to transfer iweb files from one computer to another?

    Change the name of the file to Domain-2.sites2 and try to copy it to the Desktop on the new Mac.
    To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible in Lion or Mt. Lion enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    For Mavericks, 10.9,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Optionsmenu to bring the this window:

  • How to transfer files from one partition to another on the same computer

    I had a crash could not boot back into my 8.1 upgrade. Went out bought standalone 8.1. I loaded it on HD free space now I want to transfer files from one partition to another.

    hi
    say there are two infoobjects X  and Y.
    X is existing infoobject and Y in new one.
    go to infosurce-search for X-create export datasource - map the rules and load the data.
    This is one way.
    Other way is u can use X as a reference object of Y so that both of them have same structure and both objects will share common database tables in BW which are exsting for X.
    Hope this helps.
    Kindly assign the points if it helps.

    How can I transfer work from one computer to another?

    Welcome to the forum.
    I can think of three basic ways to accomplish what you wish to do:
    Use the Project Archiver to archive your Project (and check the box to gather the media files), to an external HDD. Probably the easiest way to do it.
    Copy the Project and ALL media files to an external HDD, but be prepared to relink the media files to the Project, as the drive letter (part of the Absolute Path) will have changed.
    Edit loosely, and Share to an AV file, which will be Imported into a New Project on that second computer. Or, edit VERY tightly, and do the same. I like the first, as removing, replacing Transitions, etc., can be much more difficult, unless that "tight edit" is 100% done.
    Good luck,

  • How do I transfer iTunes from one computer to another?

    How do I transfer iTunes from one computer to another?

    This really depends on how technical you want to get, and how much of the library data you want to retain. First, there is getting the actual song files over to your new computer. If both computers are on the same network and are on iTunes 9, you can use home sharing to transfer the song files to your new computer.
    Once the files are transferred, now you have to get all of the metadata transferred, like Playlists and Song Ratings. There is a method for doing this that involves editing your Library.xml file to transfer Playlists, Playcounts, etc..
    If all you want to transfer is your Playlists and song files, there are programs that will back up your playlists so you can transfer them to a new computer, but if you're able to do the above XML edits (which are pretty simple), that is preferred (and cheaper).
    I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

On the other Mac import the Bookmarks file into your browser of choice,

    Hi,
    first, I'm not Adobe's "slave" as you might to accuse me. Most of the posters here are users like me.
    I only can repeat that what I found in Adobe's help sites, as I wrote above. You are free to figure out the "real" truth and - the best would be - you may contact Adobe directly, here are - I'm sure you know them -  the links I would use: http://helpx.adobe.com/support.html  and http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html.
