This may have been asked before, however I can't seem to find the answer.

However when I copy the folder and files onto the external drive and if I open the project and look at the Properties of the assets they are still point to the MacBook Pro.
Is there a quick way to relink all the assets to the new destination drive (iMac)?
I have also tried collecting the project using the Project Manager however the folder structure isn't copied over, resulting in all of the files being in one single folder.
Am I missing something completely simply here?
Thanks in advance,

Thanks Mo, I believe my problem is that I was opening the project from my external drive which was still attached to the MacBook Pro where the project originally resides.
I deleted the project from the MacBook Pro then opened it from the external drive, and upon opening Premiere Pro informed me that the files were missing. All I had to do was relocate one file and Premiere Pro found the remaining files.

FYI Nick
If you need to move ALL files including cache files etc use this method between machines.
It is very reliable
Go to File->Project Manager
You will see an option thats says Collect Files and copy to new location. Next to this you will see :
a) Include Audio Conform Files
b) Include Preview Files
Best of luck

Thanks Mo, the problem with that option though is that the folder structure will is not maintained, so all files end up in a single folder.
