migration of events imovie to new Mac without using the Migration Wizard
Hello
I want to do the following:
Migrate from iMovie events of an old MacBook Pro (10.6.8 Snow Leopard) created using iMovie ' 08
TO
(Yosemite 10.10.5) iMac with iMovie 10.1.1
All events are stored on 3 external drives (Nothing on the internal drive of MBP). Disks have FireWire interfaces, I can't connect them directly to the iMac.
The destination is another external drive, with Thunderbolt interface. I copied the serious events in 3 separate directories, but not tried opening them with iMovie. Wasn't sure if there was data stored elsewhere (in ~/Library for example) that might be needed; In addition, I didn't know if I could manually merge the 3 separate records events iMovie with the Finder, or need to do somehow with iMovie.
I manually moved everything some time ago - I haven't used Wizard migration; I didn't have enough disk space attached to the iMac when I moved everything, so I carried on using iMovie on the old MBP.
I googled and read several articles on the events to an external drive / to new Mac, but none of them totally covers my starting position and desired end result.
Would appreciate any insight how to go on this issue, and how and where exactly iMovie keeps all the data you need.
The articles are (among others):
https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT202853 "update of projects and events from previous versions of iMovie in iMovie (2014).
http://help.Apple.com/iMovie/#mov3ac6d42c "copy or move a video in your library of events to an external hard drive.
https://support.Apple.com/kb/PH2302 "iMovie 11: copy or move video from your library of events to an external hard drive.
https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT203049 "move your iMovie for Mac library (2014).
If your iMovie ' 08 projects contain media from outside the record of events (for example, from iPhoto or iTunes) then we must first using iMovie ' 08 on your old computer to "consolidate" your support so that everything is copied in the events folder. Details for the iMovie 11 version can be found at: http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3ac6c7c9
I don't have the ' 08 version help files, but I think it will be the same - you can check with your old Mac.
"Disks have FireWire interfaces, I can't connect them directly to the iMac.
FireWire adapters Thunderbolt are available for about € 30, which would use these drives on your new Mac.
In fact, you can copy the project files and events with the viewfinder of an old external drive to the root level of the new new external drive (which should be Apple - formatted), but it is probably best to do from in iMovie ' 08, as described in the help of Apple. Do 'copy' and not 'move' - this way you always have a backup of the original on the old disks in case of problems.
I would like to convert the project files and the events of each of the 3 discs one at a time, creating 3 libraries separate iMovie 10.1.1. You can always rearrange these in iMovie 10 after you have everything updated and verified. Some people have reported the update of blocking process at any given time, so update in small batches of events and projects is much better than trying to do everything at the same time.
In fact I would try to first simply copy one (or a small group) project and its events associated with the new external with iMovie ' 08 HD then update to ensure that it will work - from iMovie ' 08 for iMovie 10.1.1 is a big jump.
Good luck!
Geoff.

I have an ipod touch 128 GB... but I'm almost to reach its maximum.
I want to do is buy a new ipod touch 128 GB and add new music without synchronizing the entire library to it... I have 2 ipods in conjunction with the other copies of the other.
is this possible?
What should I do?
Matt
When you get the new iPod, you can use iTunes on your computer to select and synchronize the music you want on it, in the same way that you synchronize your current iPod - your iTunes will recognize them as different devices and will remember your choice of synchronization for each, it will not (unless, for example, you restore the backup of your current on her iPod) put the same content on both.
(I asked for your post be moved to the iPod Touch forum, where you have posted is the iPad forum use.)

Can I get the contacts and email from an old record without using the Migration Wizard?
Can I recover Contacts and messaging of an old record without using the Migration Wizard? Disc of the user in question has been very corrupted with several programs having a weird behavior. Migration wizard migrated corrupt files, so, even a clean install with only migrated users gave rise to an unusable installation.
I have now all own installed now, but need old email files and contacts. How can I transfer this information a copy of the old/bad drive and only this info?
Yes. With the old drive mounted and available, open Mail and choose import mailboxes... from the file menu of mail. In the dialog box import data from , choose Apple Mail.
Navigate to the Mail folder to the user of the old library drive. According to the version of courier used, you might see folders named V2 and / or V3. Choose the applicable folder, and then click Choose.

I am entitled to an upgrade, as I have CS3 I want to buy a new mac and install the upgrade on the new computer. How can I do this?
If you get two new machines and the CS3 allows you to get the price reduced for a year then you should certainly pursue it. However, I always recommend people to try before you buy. When you get the new machines install the trial version and make sure that it works for you correctly. Once you have confirmed it correct functions, then you can purchase the subscription.
