Where is "Save As"? (Want to move a project)

iMovie project files are HUGE. I accept that. I wanted to move my project from one disk to another. Somehow, last week, I imported my raw video to my Firewire drive, but the project files stayed in my Movies directory on my system drive.
How do I move my project to another drive?
I corrupted my project trying to hack it (moving the files and editing the location by hand).. my bad. I just didn't see an option to open a project, then save it whereever I want. Didn't the old iMovie have this option?
Love iMovie 08!

Exactly (..why they don't bundle projects, events, etc in one package that you're free to move around..).
I have my projects on a disk known as "/Volumes/LaCie Disk". I cannot move it -- I tried. There is no option in the File menu or Preferences. When you import a movie you can specify where the Event files go -- that's it -- FOREVER.
You can actually drag the event directories around, just not the .rcproject files (the files that have my painstaken editing data).
Looking in the .rcproject directory there are several files - some binary - some ascii with compressed data in XML format. In both cases you see "/Volumes/LaCie Disk" hard-coded into the file. I tried editing the "/Volumes/LaCie Disk" entry, but, alas it didn't work. If I want to edit my .rcproject a year from now I will have to do it at a location called "/Volumes/LaCie Disk".
Apple, please, please add a Save As option to iMovie 08 -- soon!

My iPad is full with GarageBand projects. I want to move whole projects from iPad to my windows pc or my external harddrive to get work space on Ipad. I want to be able to import my projects back to the ipad in the future to continue work.

Appreciate some help.

You should be able to copy the apps (and any other iTunes purchases) over to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. And as long as apps remain available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to purchase them, you should be able to re-download them in the future : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
If you are already on iOS 5+ on your iPad then you should be able to update the iPad directly on the iPad via Settings > General > Software Update .

I want to move imovie projects and events to an external hard drive. Where is the "move" command?

I want to move completed imovie projects and events to my external hard drive. I see in the "help" section that I should "move project & event" and they indicate that their should be such a selection. I highlight the project I want to move and attempt to drag it to my external HD but it won't stay. I never see "move project & event". I've tried holding the "command" key down while dragging and that doesn't work either. Help ...

Hi
Moving Event's and Project's
Connection - Either connect one Mac in Target mode to the other via FireWire. Or use an external hard disk !
(Target-Mode - Start one Mac e.g. laptop - BUT keep T-key down during full up-start - Now a FW-symbol is jumping around the screen and it will work as an external hard disk when connected to the other Mac)
A. The External Hard Disk - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work for Video. UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange works for most other things but not for Video whatever program is used (iMovie or FinalCut)
B. Should be a FireWire one as USB/USB2 performs badly to me and especially when filling up
C. Do never Move or Alter any folder named
• iMovie Event's - or -
• iMovie Project's
on DeskTop/Finder - as this will result in iMovie losing connections to them and repair can be anything from hard to impossibly
D. Moving and Copying must be done within iMovie application and Events to Events - and - Project's to Project's.
E. Moving Project's to Event's - Do not work for me - I have to export project as a QuickTime movie then Import this into Events.
Event's window can show two faces
Like this
or like this
from one hard disk Event - You can move it to the other hard disk
You can not (at least not me) move Event to Project or other way around only
Event to Event and Project to Project

My mac was updated a while ago from snow leopard to OS X and I want to move a project from IMovie over to IDVD to burn it. Can this not be done any longer?

I'm trying to move a movie I created in I Movie over to I DVD to burn it and all the tutorials say I should be able to, but my mac with OS X does not give me that option. Is there a work around or do I have to trash the whole project and start over in I DVD?

First of all, you will only need Snow Leopard on the second computer if you plan to use older applications. The age and creators of the data on the older drive are not the issue. For example if you have MS Word documents created by a previous version of MSW, they will open fine in a new Mavericks compatible version of MSW. So the issue you have to deal with is making sure you have the necessary newer applications. This site shows what apps are compatible with the newer Mac OS: http://roaringapps.com/apps?index=a
Beyond that there are no issues. The answer to each of your three questions is Yes.

I want to save everything I need for a project

I was just looking at an old project I had. I started checking some of the support media files. For example, I have 3 .aif files that I use for the sound track. I clicked on them and reveled them in Finder. To my surprise, they are in my iTunes music folders. So I created a folder in my project folder and copied each music file over. Then I found a still image I used. This time it was in my iPhone library. This was a little troubling. What if I want to move this project to another computer and then realize my project backup doesn't have these files.
Is there a rule of thumb when creating a project to always store your media local to the project before you link to them?
Also, I did the same with the clips I had and to showed them in a scratch folder. Do I need to copy these over as well? In one case I had a huge Untitled1 file in my Capture Scratch->ProjectName directory. Do I need to back this stuff up as well to preserve this project?
Obviously these are probably nube questions. I apologize if they are.

That DVD is great (I'm biased, I made it) in terms of showing you HOW footage is referenced by FCP. FCP just makes POINTERS, it doesn't move anything. Organization has to be done on the finder level. OR, if you want something to organize for you, I can't recommend this software plugin enough:
http://www.digital-heaven.co.uk/loader
LOADER by Digital Heaven. Just drag the file you want to import onto the LOADER TABS and it will move it to the designated area of choice, and bring into the project. Watch the demo...it's pretty cool.

Move a project from TFS 2008 to TFS 2013

Hi, we are using 2 TFS servers in our company. TFS2008 and TFS2013 SP4. Now I need to migrate one project (of 6) from TFS 2008 to TFS2013 with all the history and documents from SharePoint services. The TFS2008 is runnig on Windows Server 2008
x86 and SQL 2005 and WSS. TFS2013 is running on Windows Server 2012 R2 nad SQL2012 and SharePoint Server 2010.
I have found some discussions with this topic, most of them with backuping and restoring databases. But it was from TFS 2008 to TFS 2013 using TFSconfig.exe import. But this tool is not available in TFS 2013. Is it possible to do such task without installing
single use TFS2010?
Thanks, regards Martin

Hi Martin,
Thanks for your post.
You want only move team project source files and documents from TFS 2008 to TFS 2013 or you want move the whole team project data(source files and work items…) from TFS 2008 to TFS 2013?
If you want move whole team project data within history from TFS 2008 to TFS 2013, we suggest backup your TFS 2008, and install a new TFS 2010(or 2012) Server using the TFS 2008 backup, then
move the collection from TFS 2010 to TFS 2013 Server directly, after moved successfully, you can delete the unwanted team projects from moved collection in TFS 2013.
If you want only move the source files and document from TFS 2008 team project to TFS 2013 Server, you can create a new team project in TFS 2013 Server, then try use the
TFS Integration Tools to move source files from TFS 2008 team project to this new created TFS 2013 team project, but you need note the limitations in this tool.

I want to save my movies and projects on an external drive

Does anyone know how I can change the settings on imovie to save imported movies into an external disk? When you ase asked to select where to save the movies, it only gives me the option to save on my Mac HD and if you move the clips then you can't use your projects any more.
I don't want to take up all the space on my Mac and I like to save everything to a external disk. I do this with itunes and iphoto, so I can't see why I can't do this with imovie.
I am a new user, any help would be appreciated.

Welcome ssnyder to the  iMovie boards ...
step1) purchase an external harddrive
step2) launch Utilities/Disk Utility, select new drive, choose Erase, choose Mac/hfs as format
step3) .. no step 3, new and formatted drive will be noticed by iM automatically; when creating New Event, it will allow you to import straight to ext. HDD. iM also allows to 'drag n drop' existing Events from internal to external drive without loss of connection to projects.

When downloading a large file, like a movie Internet Explorer automatically provides one with the choice of where to save it - e.g. "C" drive, but Firefox doesn't. How can it be done?

When downloading a large file, like a movie, Internet Explorer automatically opens a download window offering the choice to "Open" or "Save"the file. This provides one with the choice of where to save it - e.g. "C" drive, in the "My Documents" or "Desktop" folders but Firefox's download window doesn't. This has always frustrated me because I would rather use Firefox exclusively to access the Internet, but when it comes to saving files downloaded off the Internet, sadly, I have to revert to IE!

If you click on Firefox from the upper-left, then Options, a new window should appear. On that window, click on the general tab. In the middle of the window, you'll see options regarding your downloads, one of which says, "Always ask me where to save files." Click on the bubble for this options, then click Ok. From then on, you should always be prompted on where you want your files saved.

A clean install on my MacBook Pro has left my icons stuck on the right side of the desktop. I want to move them but there is no 'None' option which I think would free them to move where I wish. Suggestions?

A clean install on my MacBook Pro has left me with my icons stuck in the grid on the right side of my desktop. I had the ability to move them and have them stay put in various sectors of the desktop, which I found very useful. The clean install upgraded the OS to 10.6.8 from 10.5.8. I want to move them again but there I see no 'None' option which I think would free them to move where I wish. Has the upgrade deleted that option? Suggestions? I am new to this community and if not new to Mac, I often feel that way. This is one of those times.

I have the same problem on the latest iTunes software and Windows 7. My window is maximzed and I do not see any tab for photos. Seems related to a recent update (IOS7?) as this was there - at least before the very big change to the interface.

I am a new iPhone user. I'm a frequent technology user but not a sophisticated one. I am looking for an app where I can make lists -- books, movie titles, etc. And I want to be able to make individual folders. But I do not need more than that. Help!

I am a new iPhone user. I'm a frequent technology user but not a sophisticated one. I am looking for an app where I can make lists -- books, movie titles, etc. And I want to be able to make individual folders. But I do not need much more capacity than that. Ideas?

One of these may fit your needs: http://iphone.appstorm.net/roundups/productivity-roundups/25-fantastic-to-do-lis t-apps-for-iphone/
What do you mean make folders? Like folders inside an application or accessing system folders? You can't do the latter.

Saving a Pages document: when I first save a pages document it saves and I don't know where it goes or what its name is. I want to be asked every time I save a pages document what to name it and where to save it. How do I set this preference?

I'll guess that you've used a page layout document & pasting created a text box. You can add more pages & create linked text boxes, but I think you'd be better of using a word processing document. In word processing documents there is a basic text layer & additional pages will be created as needed to fit the text. Take a look at the toolbar of your document. If it says "sections" for the +page icon it's a word processing document, if it says "pages" it's a page layout document.

Backed up Lightroom 2 to a 'backup plus'. Will be installing Lightroom 5 to a new Win 7 computer and want to move only the photos to a dedicated 1 tb drive in the machine. Anyone know Where my actual photos are stored on 'backup plus'? Thank you

Backed up Lightroom 2 to a Seagate 'backup plus'. Will be installing Lightroom 5 to a new Win 7 computer and want to move only the photos to a dedicated 1 tb drive in the machine. Anyone know where my actual photos are stored on 'backup plus'? Thank you

Thank you for your reply. I have been backing up my entire computer and when I follow anything having to do with Lightroom I am not finding actual photos. I hope to find the photos that have been backed up along with updates to them that my wife has been performing during her edits. Found Lightroom 2 catalog Previews/Lrdata. Could that be it?
