Had pse 8 on a Windows 7 PC with a catalog backup on an external drive. Now have a Mac with OS Mavericks. If install pse 12 or Lightroom on the Mac will I be able to use the old catalog backup or must I start from scratch.

If you made a full catalog backup using the organizer's backup command, and you did it to a removable drive, yes, you can restore it to the mac. A backup made on discs will not work, though.

Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

I have 2 different MacBooks (owned by 2 people) connected to my Time Capsule. I want to use the Time Capsule to back up both MacBooks separately from each other. Can one person access the hard drive of the other person, on the same Time Capsule?

I have 2 different MacBooks (owned by 2 people) connected to the same Time Capsule over a wifi network. I want to use the Time Capsule to back up both MacBooks separately from each other. Can one person access the hard drive of the other person, on the same Time Capsule? Is there a way to ensure that the files on the 2 laptops are kept private from each other? Thanks!

If someone really wants to do something, it won't take them long to find out how to do it.

Security on a Time Capsule is a bit like installing a lock on a tent. It will keep the honest folks out, but probably not the others.

HT204053 Can I use the same Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime services from two different devices - iPhone and iPad?

Can I use the same Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime services simultaneously on two different devices - iPhone and iPad? It seems those are competing to each other, and the services work on one of them only (iPhone).

Many thanks, Sir! Both are mine and it's good to know that imessage can work on both with the same Apple ID. Will now have to find out why imessage stopped working on iPad when it started on iPhone (new). After exploring the forum I understand that there may be plenty of reasons why imessage does not work, even though it worked previously on the same device with the same ID.

Can I use the timemachine backup from my desktop on my laptop

ok - I have installed Maverick on my laptop and am not happy with it
I transfer files to my laptop from my desktop when I travel - (including email - by copying the Mail folder from desktop to laptop)
Given that Mavericks has deleted all the emails from my laptop (including important ones I didn't have a copy of grrrr) I don't think thsi simple way of copying will work anymore
I now just want my Latop to be a mirror of my desktop (with less files as the hard drive on the laptop is smaller)
so - can I do a Comand R restart on the laptop and go ahead and back up from the desktops timemachine backup (which is running osx 10.8.5)

Of course. If you have got a Mid 2010 or newer MacBook Pro, I recommend you to start up in Internet Recovery by holding down Command, Option and R keys while your computer is starting. Then, choose the option to restore a Time Machine backup and follow its steps.
If you have got an older MacBook, you shouldn't have any problem by starting with Command and R keys. I tell you this because Internet Recovery includes the OS X Lion or Mountain Lion's Recovery image instead of Recovery HD, which includes the OS X Mavericks' Recovery image. In both cases, your hard drive will be formatted automatically before restoring your Time Machine backup

How can I use the iCloud backup files?

Recently I lost my passcode and I had to reset my iPhone. Some of my data is on iCloud but I don't know how to use my camera roll again in my Photos. All I want is to know how can I store my pictures and videos from iCloud to my Photos.

Your camera roll is included in your device backup by default, unless you excluded it in settings. However, you can't view the photos and videos (or anything else) in the backup; you can only restore it to your device. Later this fall, iCloud Photo Library will be introduced along with iOS 8. At that time, you can start storing and accessing your photos and videos in iCloud (see https://www.apple.com/icloud/preview/).
If you want to store your camera roll, import it to your computer using your usb cable as explained here: iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer.

I Can't Use The New Backup 3.0!

I have downloaded the new Backup 3.0 and it looks excellent. But I can't use it! The bottom of the new Backup opening screen stretches down below the bottom of my screen and there is no button visible for me to click on to continue. There are also no minimise/close buttons on the top left as usual. I have files to backup. How do I proceed?

Hi julian ;
You're right, it's interface completely different than 2.2
When launched Backup 3.0, you'll see standard plans ;
1-Migrated Drive Plan
2-Migrated iDisk Plan
You can :
1-Plan Menu > New Plan
2-Cmnd-N
3-click on "+" at the bottom of window to create and add your new plans.
You'll get new window with extra plans and there is also "Custom" option.
Select it and hit "Choose Plan" button and start to configure your plan.
At first give it a name.
You can add your backup items in the upper pane and select the destination on the other one, by clicking "+"

I recently upgraded laptops and my new laptop asks me to authorize this one for purchases I made years ago and I don't remember the password. Can you use the old backup discs to restore them?

There are quite a few songs, videos, television shows, and movies I purchased years back, well before the cloud with two different user id's that I don't remember the passwords for, and when I try and get to the security questions, it says the information doesn't match. I'm ****** because I'm sure they will have some convenient excuse for not getting me out of this mess with my new laptop, but as long as my old one works, I can still access the previous library, where EVERYTHING plays. How can the new laptop not be recognized when I had all of the information transferred from the old laptop? Now I have to hope my old laptop doesn't crap out for a few years longer!!

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

How can I use the FM tuner in Windows Media Center?

Hi everyone.
New to the threads.
Found this site while looking for answers to a problem I'm having. ?:|
I received my Toshiba Satellite computer as a Christmas gift. I noticed it has a cool FM tuner feature.
I also have been playing around with Windows Media Center.
However, I cannot figure out how to operate the FM tuner inside WMC....?
I added the NXP FM tuner program to the "extras" on WMC, but instead of opening up the tuner inside WMC it just opens the separate program.
Does anyone know how I can use the FM tuner (or a different one perhaps?) inside WMC?
Thank you! :)

Hello
I don't have any experience with this because my Satellite doesnt have FM Tuner but nice discussion about it you can find under
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=138027
If you will find final solution it will be nice if you can describe own experience with it. It can be useful for other people here.
Bye and good luck!

I have a serial number from the CD Rom for Lightroom 5 but I can't use the serial number to license the software I downloaded online.

Hi,
I've recieved a free Adobe CD Rom for Adobe Lightroom 5 after buying a new Samsung Camera,
as I do not have a CD Rom department in my laptop, I've downloaded the Adobe Lightroom online.
After downloading, I was trying to license the software by the given serial number at the CD Rom, however it doesn't work.
Please kindly assist.

What exactly means "can't use" or "doesn't work"?
What is your operating system? Is the serial number on the package for Mac or Windows?

Can not use the handheld to hear audio. Must use headset or speaker

My handheld is not working. When I make or receive a call utilizing the handset I can not hear the other person but they can hear me. I can only hear the audio successfully if I am using my earbud or the speaker phone.

Screenchomp is a good app that we use at a school for this - its owned by Techsmith, the same company that owns Jing and Camtasia, two leaders in the market. Two other options to look at (which I preferred to Screenchomp) are ShowMe and Educreations.

How do I return my mid 2011 MacBook Air to Factory Specifications? Can I use the built in Lion recovery and wipe my data from the hard disk by reformatting it?

I want to trade in my old mid 2011 MacBook Air for a new MacBook Pro. After I have transferred my data to the new MacBook Pro, how do I reformat the hard disk to wipe all my data and return it to Factory specifications? Will the built in Lion recovery allow me to do this? I am currently running OS X Yosemite. Has the upgrade to Yosemite damaged or removed the original Lion recovery partition?
