I'm new to Ethereum and trying to learn. I bought DAO tokens using myetherwallet.com, I can see them when I log in, but how do I move them to Ethereum Wallet in order to Watch the Contract and Vote?
Thanks

@tayvano's answer will help you move your Ethereum accounts into Ethereum Wallet (Mist). You will have two more steps to do if you want to view your TheDAO tokens in the Ethereum Wallet and vote on proposals when the creation period ends.

Viewing the DAO token in the Ethereum Wallet

Follow the steps on daohub.org - Monitoring your balance to add the DAO token to Ethereum Wallet. In summary these steps are:

In the Ethereum Wallet, click on Contracts on the top right of the screen
Click Watch Token
Enter the Token Contract Address 0xbb9bc244d798123fde783fcc1c72d3bb8c189413
Enter the Token name The DAO
Enter the Token symbol: Ð
Enter Decimal Places: 16
Click OK
You should now have a The DAO custom token on your Ethereum Wallet contacts page.

Interacting with the DAO contract in the Ethereum Wallet

Follow the steps on daohub.org - Voting and other functions to add the DAO token to Ethereum Wallet. In summary these steps are:

In the Ethereum Wallet, click on Contracts on the top right of the screen
Click Watch Contract
Enter the Contract Name The DAO
Enter the Contract Address 0xbb9bc244d798123fde783fcc1c72d3bb8c189413
On the daohub.org - Voting and other functions page, click on SHOW JSON-INTERFACE button. (You can also get the the same JSON-INTERFACE text from The DAO - Contact Source Code).
Copy the JSON text in the text box below the button
Paste the JSON text into the JSON INTERFACE text box in the Ethereum Wallet
Click OK
You should now have a The DAO custom contract on your Ethereum Wallet contracts page.

Trashcan

Click on the contract you want to delete. On the contract page, hover over the name. You see a trashcan. Click on this to remove the contract.

EDIT: As noted by @Vesa, you may not be able to access the contract as Mist freezes. What OS and version of Mist are you using. I have had some problems with Ethereum Wallet 0.7.2 that are not present in 0.6.2 - Try running this older version to remove your contract.

Manual Deletion

In the Ethereum Wallet (Mist) menu, click on Develop -> Toggle Developer Tools -> Wallet UI. Click on the Console tab.

Enter CustomContracts.find().fetch() in the console, finding the _id of the Custom Contract, then entering the command CustomContracts.remove({your Custom Contract _id}).

This is similar to removing custom tokens in Mist - see the screens in How to remove custom tokens from mist? as linked by @Vesa.

UPDATE 18 May 2016

A new version of the Ethereum Wallet (Mist) 0.7.4 (Beta 18) is available from https://github.com/ethereum/mist/releases/. Note that you should remove The DAO contract from your watchlist if you experience any freezes.

If you are watching The DAO we recommend you stop watching it for now, at least while it's so popular. You can still send ether to it, if that's your intention. On our testings, even if the performance has improved, watching the DAO still hangs the wallet occasionally.

If you still cannot remove the The DAO contract from Mist due to the freezing, consider downgrading Mist to 0.6.2, remove the contract, then use the latest version.

UPDATE 29 May 2016

If you leave Ethereum Wallet running for a few hours after you experience a freezing issue, Ethereum Wallet will catch up with the event log entries it is due to receive from geth, and once again Ethereum Wallet will become responsive to your actions.

UPDATE 23 Jul 2016

My Ethereum Wallet application kept freezing even after removing The DAO contact and re-installing The DAO contract.

I renamed my ~/.config/Mist directory:

cd ~/.config
mv Mist Mist_pre_20160723

I started Ethereum Wallet and reinstalled The DAO contract using the instructions from How to add and watch the DAO contract .

Ethereum Wallet is now working smoothly.

I then removed my old ~/.config/Mist_pre_20160723 directory.

The Ethereum Wallet config directories are:

On Linux, ~/.config/Mist
On OS X, ~/Library/Application Support/Mist
On Windows, C:\Users\<name>\AppData\Roaming\Mist

[Ethereum] How to import the Ethereum wallet into MyEtherWallet

Back up your keystore folder onto a USB drive or 2.
Go to MyEtherWallet.com and make sure you can access that wallet using the http://www.myetherwallet.com/#view-wallet-info
Delete everything from the original computer.
Install Mist on a new computer, or use MyEtherWallet moving forward.
