Using imovie events together on one mac

me and my husband want to use our movie library together on one computer, but we don't want to use an external disc drive (where i know its working, when we name a folder on top level 'imovie events').
but imovie is not recognizing the imovie events in the shared user folder on the local hard drive.
has anyone any idea how to manage this?
thanks

Time Machine backups up everything on the MacPro, so both user accounts are being backed up.
Each user can only access their own respective backups....unless they have the log on password for the other user and log on as the other user.
When the MBP comes back from repair, then it will resume backing up to the "other" backup drive that is normally used with the MBP.

  • I have an iMac about a year old. It has OSX 10.8.3 with iMovie 9.0.8. Is there a way to get iMovie to store and use iMovie Events on an external drive? Raw video is eating up my 1TB internal drive.

    Yes, you can import to an external drive by choosing it from the Import Screen.
    Once an Event or Project is in iMovie, it is best to move it to the external using iMovie, so the Project does not lose links to the Event.
    For full instructions on how to do this, see this link.

  • HT1522 Restricting using Remote on more than one Macs.

  • Trying to add titles in IMovie. Using IMovie 8.0.6 and Mac OSX version 10.6.8.  When I try to add titles IMovie shuts down.  What do I need to do to stop the shut downs?

    I can not add Titles in IMovies.  When I click on the Titles, IMovie shuts down.  I am using Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 and IMovies version 8.0.6
    Was able to add some Titles yesterday, but had some problems with shut downs.  Today I can not get past clicking on Titles without a shutdown

    DK Flash,
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3310 but you have 10.6.8. So this shouldn't apply. But just in case.
    This had to do with the Far Far Away title causing iMovie to quit.
    Try clearing caches and plist.
    Do the behavior persist in a new user on the computer?

  • Using Time Machine backup from one mac to another

    I had a Mac book pro running 10.7.5 and used Time Machine to backup the system. The macbook died and I want to restore the Time Machine backup to my iMac running 10.7.5.
    Question 1: Is this possible and how is it done?
    Question 2: Will it restore all the software and files from the macbook pro to my iMac?

    It can be done without any problem and everything will be restored from the Time Machine backup.
    If you want to replace the actual content of the hard drive of your iMac with the content of the Time Machine backup, press Command and R keys while your Mac is starting, choose the option to restore the Time Machine backup and follow the steps.
    If you want to keep both content, use Migration Assistant to create a new user with the data of the MacBook Pro. Open Migration Assistant and follow the steps. Then, open  > Log Out, and log in the new user to access to the migrated data

  • Using 2 time machines on one mac

  • IMovie Events 'markup' changing size

    Hi there,
    I have a number of drives (3) that I store my iMovie events on, and I was working on a project a few months back, and I now go and click on the event and the 'mini-view' to the right shows the 'clips' sqaure (if I move the slider to All, then they are square - If I move the slider to 30 seconds, then each 'partition' is square. The ones that work fine, and what they used to be was the widescreen dimension.
    If I run the mouse over these events, then the 'movie runs, and I can hear the audio, and if I push the space bar then the audio plays, but no video - the Viewer is just black.
    I had an issue a while back, where I changed the name of a drive, but then iMovie showed a little yellow warning triangle and I found out how to change the path in the event file, but this isn't showing any error.
    Please help.

    I updated to Mavericks and the new iMovie last night as well as I have always been an early adopter. Unfortunately this time, I think I was a little too quick.
    From what I can tell, the new iMovie takes all old events and creates a new iMovie library. I believe if you wanted to, you could potentially revert back via time machine and grab the old imovie back and use the old events and projects folders? Can someone please confirm? I would like to do this.
    After I did my upgrade, I was left with to iMovie events libraries. One was called iMovie events and the other imovie events 1. The second one is my old library that resides on my external thunderbolt drive where I would like to keep it. The iMovie theater folder was also added but inside the Movies folder on my internal drive. I don't want that either.
    I usually adopt pretty quickly to iMovie changes but at this point it might have finally pushed me to Final Cut Pro X, to get back that iMovie linear "feel". I can't see anything at all anymore in the new iMovie that shows any time line and ease of use.
    Cheers

  • Delete iMovie Events, Projects, Sharing after update iMovie 10.0?

    After updating to iMovie 10.0 in Finder appears a 'iMovie-library' but the folders 'iMovie Events, Projects and Sharing' are still there too. These last folders are roughly same size as the new 'iMovie-library'. Can you delete these old folders? I could use the space!
    I have already updated my old library.
    Thanks in advance!

  • Using Lightroom on more than one computer

    I recently bought Lightroom on the Apple App store for my mac mini. Is there a way to install it onto my PC desktop as well? Also, can I use it on more than one mac?

    If you purchased from the Mac App Store, there is no serial number, so no, I'm afraid you can't.  Anything in the Mac App Store is subject to Apple's terms rather than Adobe's.  There's more information here: http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2012/05/lightroom-4-now-available-on-the-mac-app-s tore.html  I believe the Mac App Store licensing usually allows installing on up to 5 Macs though.

  • Move iMovie 08 project to another Mac

    I have an iMovie '08 project on my Core 2 Duo iMac, and I and going out of town. I'd like to move the iMovie '08 project to my MacBook Pro.
    Copying the project over via flash drive doesn't seem to work. The project doesn't open on my MBP. iMovie 08 only launches a new project. I When I show the bundle contents, I can see that everything's there.
    What's the proper way to move/copy an iMovie '08 project form one Mac to another? Both Macs are Intel based with Leopard.

    Hi p
    As I understand it - I would try to do like this:
    • Connect the lap-top via FW and start it with T-key pressed to get it to present itself as
    an external hard disk
    • This should be able to add to browser window in iM08
    • Now move the material in the browser to Your lap-top.
    Think/Guess that this should work. I did likevice to my external "My Book" drive.

    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.
