Blurb Book in Lightroom 5 on my Mac disappeared after 3 days of work. Where can I find a backed up copy via Time Machine or anywhere else?

 
Welcome to the WD Community.
1) I assume I can  just hook the unit up via USB to my Mac and use iPartiion to reformat the drives, assuming each of the 4T drives will be seen by iPartition as a separate drive. That much seems straighforward.
Yes, and in case you ipartition dont see the unit properly, you can use the disk utilities on your Mac and you will be able to reformat the unit to make it compatible with your system.
2) Is my next step to reinstall the WD software and how do I do that? I've downloaded the Drive Utilities and Securities install apps - I assume I just run these with the drive still connected and that's all I need to do?
Yes, just run the applications.
3) What about the firmware update for Mac - when should I run that??
Normally, firmware updates are released to fix any issues that you might encounter on the drive. the latest one was released on 9/24/2014 and it fixed an issue with the drive dropping off of the list after system wakes up from standby mode. 
5) And what about the "My Book Live Duo Setup" app for Mac - is that for a completely different model? What's the difference between "My Book Live Duo" and "My Book Duo"? It's these little things that I find so confusing. 
Those are different units. The MBL Duo is a NAS (Network attached system) and the My Book Duo is a DAS (Direct attached system)
6) Lastly, when I have all the software installed, is that when I follow the procedure described in the Knowledge Base article ID 5724, "How to install a My Book Live or My Book Live Duo on Windows (8, 7, Vista, or XP) or Mac OSX for the first time"? Or is that procedure only for "My Book Live Duo" but not for "My Book Duo"?? 
That procedure is for the network units, not for your drive.

    If you have no backups, and data has been lost, then it's lost forever. The rest of your data will inevitably follow if you don't back up.

  • Where can I find/view backed up Text Messages on MAC?

    Hello.
    I have installed the Blackberry Desktop Manager for my MAC.
    I have the Blackberry Tour.  I SYNCED and BACKED UP my BB.
    The Synced worked great - contacts and calendar- I found everything.
    But I am trying to find where my saved backed up text messages went.  When I backed it up, I had it selected ALL and I saw that there were messages in the list.
    I found the .bbb file in USERS/DOCUMENTS/BB Backups
    But I do not know if I am supposed to do anything with this file.
    So, I guess I just want to know where are all of my text messages/memos/etc backed up to?
    Thanks!!
    -Jennifer

    The BB Desktop Manager claims that I can and it is on the list to choose from when selecting what I want synced (I chose everything).

    Well... there you go. You cannot on the PC, maybe the MAC is different.
    I didn't know that. Backup files are backup files... for restoration to the device in an emergency loss of device data.
    So what does your DM claim.. in words?

  • Logic board failure on Mac Book Pro. Backed up info via time machine with sea gate external hard drive. Help!

    I now have no access to any mac now, and the old mac while it still has my old information freezes immeadiatley upon starting. I am therefore switching to PC laptop that has be graciously given to me. My question is how do I get my information off my external drive, and on to my new laptop? The laptop is an Asus with windows vista, and I am planning on upgrading it to Window's 7. All my information from the past 3 years of college is stored in this Seagate 320 gb external hard drive. What do I need to do?

    OK… firstly try the USB port on the other side and see if it makes any difference. Otherwise, do you have any better luck using the drive when it's connected through an AC powered USB hub.
    To check if your MBP is seeing your drive at all it should appear in the USB section in the System Profiler utility.

  • My contacts have disappeared, where can I find them?

    My contacts have disappeared off my phone.  Where can I find them?

    I assume in settings/icloud you have contacts turned on.  If so then open the contacts app on your phone, tap on groups top left, then tap on the circular arrow top left and see what that does.

  • I made a Blurb book through Lightroom 5, on another computer, backed it up on an external hard drive and tried to import it into my imac.  I got the picture files, but could not get the book I had worked on.  How do I find my book?

    I made a 'Blurb' book using Lightroom on a computer that was not mine.  I backed up the book on an external hard drive and then tried to import the book into my imac.  I wasn't able to retrieve my book.  The photos I used for the book project are there, but the 45 page book I made is not there.
    What do I need to do?

    You would need to go to the computer containing the book.
    Select the saved book in the Collection panel.
    Go to Grid View [ G ] and select all the images [Cmd/Ctrl][A]
    File>Export as Catalog and store on media you can use to transfer
    Bring this catalog onto your computer
    File>Import from another catalog and bring the transitory catalog into your master catalog.
    It should bring the images, your collections (including your book) and other settings into your own catalog.

    I have opened Photoshop and at the top under help I clicked on check for up dates and it comes up for about 5 seconds saying checking for up dates and then it cuts out and brings up a message that says Adobe Application Manager quite unexpectedly.
    I have tried to reboot everything and install Creative Cloud desk top and it gets half way and then stops, just sits in one place unable to down load.

    Nzdmalan the Adobe Creative Cloud application can be found in your Applications folder.  Are you able to access the application itself?  Is your computer managed by an I.T. department?

    Reboot the TC.. Sometimes you need to reboot the whole network.
    This is what comes of Lion and then made worse in Mountain Lion of Apple not spending enough time to fix the bugs.
