  • Transferring home movies from one computer to another

    What is the best way to do this? I have about 500 video clips that I want to move from one computer to another. I've tried using the export function in iPhoto but all I get upon transfer is a single frame of the movie. I keep the files on an external HD but I can't find where they are stored. I see the iPhoto app to open but not the original files. Additionally, whenever I do locate these files, how can I get them transferred with the keywords assigned to them? TIA! Going from a MBP running 10.6.8 to a MBA running 10.8.2

    I'm not sure you can assign keywords to a movie on export, as these are written to the exif metadata of a photo and most video has no such metadata.
    You say you've tried the export function in iPhoto, but what settings have you used? Exporting with the Kind set to Original should yield the videos.

  • Transfer Ipod backup from one computer to another.

    I want to transfer my ipod back up from one computer to another. Is there a way to keep my back up file and use that on my new PC? 4th gen Ipod Touch, Windows XP to Windows 7

    You need to transfer your iTunes library from your old Mac to your new Mac. Copy the iTunes named folder located in your Music folder on your old Mac and with iTunes quit on your new Mac, place the iTunes folder in the same location - in your Music folder. You also need to authorize your new Mac with your iTunes account with iTunes.
    Before syncing contacts with the Address Book and calendar events with iCal on your new Mac, enter one contact in the Address Book and one calendar event in iCal on your new Mac. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.
    There is no need to transfer your iPhone's backup from your old Mac to your new Mac. iTunes on your new Mac will create a new backup for your iPhone automatically or you can do this manually. With your iPhone connected to iTunes on your new Mac, control-click on your iPhone under Devices in the iTunes source list and at the menu window that appears, select Back Up to create a new backup for your iPhone as of now.

  • Transfering itunes library from one computer to another

    Can you transfer / copy itunes and all songs in library from one PC to another PC (only one IPOD in use

    I am having problems trasferring my itunes library from my PC to my laptop. I transferred all the downloaded music, "MY MUSIC" from one computer to the other, and the laptop's itunes picked those songs up. When I connected my ipod to my lap top, when selecting "transfer purchased music", itunes only imports the music that I have purchased at the itunes store. ** What I can't get imported to my laptop are the 500 CDs (5000 songs) that I downloaded onto my PC's itunes.

  • Transferring all data from one computer to another

    Hi,
    I have an iMac and a Macbook Pro - I would like to completely switch the data on the two computers.  In other words, I'd like to put everything that is on my macbook on the iMac, and vise versa.  I have backed both computers up using Time Machine, but I'm not sure what the best way is to do the swapover.  Any ideas?  I want to do more than just add the data from one to another, I want to completely wipe out the imac and install the macbook data on it, and completely wipe out the macbook and install the iMac data.  Any ideas?

    What I would do is to move all the apps music and other media to the new cmputer.  Make sure the computer is authorized for the iTunes account(s) and iTunes logged into the progler account. Then connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up.  Restore the iPod from that backup.

  • How do I transfer my ipod libray from one computer to another?

    I had my library on another computer that I no longer have access to. How do I transfer what is on my ipod onto my itunes library?
    I don't want to lose my 600+ songs!!

    Jolly Giant hasn't posted in around a year...
    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • Transfering raw files from one computer to another after LightRoom selection

    Hello,
    I'm trying out lightroom and love it so far. One quick question. If my assistant makes a Collection for me to work on later, how can I get the RAW files from that collection to work them on a different computer. I looked at the export option but it's only JPGs or DNF, and I want the RAW files. Can she export the RAW files for me? How?
    Thank you in advance

    Thanks for your info. I'm a bit confused.
    Don, if she exports the XMP sidecards I still need to have all the original files on my machine, and then filter accordingly correct? I only want to bring to my machine the Good Files. I don't want to waste time with the bad ones.
    What do mean by letting her access both?
    Harrison, are you saying to export the whole collection as DNG files and burn it onto a CD or something so that I can bring it into my computer? I'm not sure what you mean by letting my assistant "import them into the library on her computer" did you mean "my" computer?
    Also right now I use bridge and I sort pictures by date created (multiple cameras) and then rename them with a prefix starting with 001. Can I do this in LightRoom.
    Thanks again for all your help.

  • Transferring iTunes library from one computer to another...

    Okay, so I finally purchased myself a PowerBook. Currently, I have all my music (on my iTunes) on my eMac (which I have been using the past 10 months). I would like to switch all my music over to my new PowerBook and do all my iTunes/iPod updating/synching via my new PowerBook from now on.
    Here's the question: How do I transfer my iTunes library (all my music) from the eMac to the PowerBook? Using my iPod as a hard disk is not an option. Can I connect my new PowerBook to my eMac and transfer the files that way? Do I have to burn like five DVD disks and load them manually onto the new PowerBook? Is there some other great solution? Anything else I need to know about this process? Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated. Thanks all.

    Josh,
    Use target disk mode wich is explained in the following link. Follow directions carefully and good luck.

  • Transferring iDVD project from one computer to another?

    I have a MacBook that has a combo drive (it can burn CDs but not DVDs). I have Quicktime Pro and I used it to download a video from the internet. I edited it using Quicktime Pro and I was going to burn it on a DVD but I just realized that my MacBook doesn't burn DVDs. I have a friend who has an iMac that has a super drive (it can burn CDs and DVDs). Instead of spending money to buy an external DVD burner, can I email my project to him and then burn it on his computer? If not, can I store my project on a flash drive, then put it on his computer, and then burn it? If I could do one of these options that would be great because I don't want to buy an external DVD burner if I don't have to. Thanks.

    Just to add to the excellent advice already posted. If you are done with your iDvd project and no additional changes are to take place then use the first link provided above. However, if you plan on making even the slightest change/s then follow directions for the second link which was kindly provided for you above.

  • Transferring a project from one computer to another

    I just got a new iMac and I want to transfer a FCE project in progress from my old computer to my new one. How do I do this? If I just drag the project icon to the new computer, will all the video files come with it?
    Also, the old computer has FCE 3.0 and the new one has 3.5. Any potential problems there?
    Thanks

    Easiest way is to network your 2 Macs together, or put your old Mac in Target Disk Mode and connect it to your new Mac via FW. Then copy the appropriate folders & files from your old Mac to your new Mac.
    On your new Mac, check to see if you have a folder named Final Cut Express Documents in your username/Documents folder. If it's already there, open it and check to see if there are folders called Capture Scratch and Autosave Vault in it. If not, create the folders; make sure the names are exact.
    Open a new Finder window, go to your old Mac's HD and find your old Final Cut Express Documents folder. Drag whatever files (files only, not the folders) that are there; most of the time that is where your FCE project files are located (unless you specifically saved them elsewhere). Then open the Capture Scratch folder and drag the contents to the Capture Scratch folder on your new Mac; do likewise with the content of the old Autosave Vault folder.
    You can ignore the render and cache folders; FCE will have to rebuild the contents on your new Mac anyway, so it would be a waste of time to copy all that stuff over to your new Mac.
    Also remember to copy over any other source media files you used in your projects - music, photos etc.
    After everything is on your new Mac, disconnect your old Mac, start up FCE on your new Mac, go into System Settings and make sure your FCE scratch disks location is set to your new Final Cut Express Documents folder. Next, open your project file (do File > Open and find your project file). You will probably have to reconnect media the first time you open your project. After that, things should work.
    Just don't delete the material from your old Mac until you are satisfied that everything in your project is working properly on your new Mac.

  • Transfering FCP material from one computer to another

    I recently purchased a MacPro and want to transfer all my Final Cut Express projects from my iMac. I dragged and dropped all my FCE files on to an exteran HD and once completed hooked it up to my MacPro and tried to one the projects. The error regarding missing files came up and I follow the thread on the error window to locate the files yet have no luck. Files such as iTunes, mov, and iPhoto ones.
    Can anyone give me a step by step procedure on how to transfer correctly.
    Thanks in anticipation,
    Barry

    Use the Media manager (in the File menu) to consolidate all elements of a project to a single folder.
    The FCP manual has a section on how it works.
