How do i reinstall lr5 and restore the backup catalogues. Also preset folder,preferences, preview
Recently, i had to do a clean re-install of windows 7hp. And also i saved the needed data. of course i lost all of my downloaded software etc. Their is a second drive on my computer with lightroom;its backups and a folder entitled all my photos. The same material for lightroom is backed up to an external hard drive. How do i go about re-installing lr5 , and restore the catalogue back ups and the other folders.? I need a step by step set of procedures here as i am a computer stupie. Thanks for your help!

Have a few questions before i do the reinstall. step #1 is to reinstall from the original disk or to download from adobe"s website with proper serial #,regeistration #? Step #2 is to restore the catalogues by double clicking on the latest catalogue backup?(or are all backup catalogue"s clicked) When i do this backup will this transfer all of my parent folders,subfolders to the left panel of the library module in its original order? Step 3. After the catalogue restore is done, will this leave this cat. folder in the same disk under lightroom or will this folder be deleted. I have all of the lightroom folders backed up on an external hard drive. Last step is to move all my pictures from the all my photos folder to lightrm. Is this correct? How is this done? By an import in the lightroom software using import,move.or copy on the top import toolbar. I know i sound paranoid on doing these procedures correctly as i do not wish to lose any catalogues etc.. Thanks for your help!!
Not sure where you came up with these steps from
Step 1 ... either should work, but the download is the most recent version
Step 2 ... double-click on the latest catalog backup, yes
Step 3 ... Catalog is whereever you double-clicked on the backup file, you can move it whereever you want thereafter, using your operating system with Lightroom closed
Step 4 ... no moving of photos should be needed, definitely NO IMPORTING NO IMPORTING NO IMPORTING NO IMPORTING NO IMPORTING, if the photos are not linked in Lightroom, then follow these instructions http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm and remember NO IMPORTING NO IMPORTING NO IMPORTING NO IMPORTING NO IMPORTING and did I mention that you should not import your photos?
For future reference, you stated that you had Lightroom and its backups on the same drive ... do not do this ... backups must go on a different physical drive

Now, I understand how the backup and restore the backup features function. However, if I don't want to transfer the music that I have on iTunes to my phone, how do I avoid it? How do I not transfer the music or take it out of my iPhone if it is already there? I really do not want any music on my iPhone because I have an iPod for that. Thanks. Hope someone can help.
When you connect your phone and start iTunes on the left side you will see your phone listed under devices.Click on te icon next to it that looks like a battery. Click on the music button at the top and uncheck the sync music box.

i've had to reset my ipad to factory settings and restore from backup (have also got new softwear) my passcode is now not working - any ideas on the default?

It seems that every time I synch my iPod, I have no music. Then, when I go to synch again, it tells me it needs to restore the iPod!! It's the software's fault, I think. Windows 8 and iTunes do not seem to be very compatible and I don't have a choice in terms of what iPod and what computer I'm using. I just want the thing to work. Thank you.
Some other users has reported the same there may be a but in iOS 8 or iTunes.
Have you tried:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. -
I need to Backup PrimeInfra 1.3 and restore the Backup to 2.0
Hi,
can anybody please assist me backing up PrimeInfra 1.3 application backup and restore it to PrimeInfra 2.0??
Would appreciate your input.
Regards,
SharanHi ,
procedure for backup and Restore:
Option 1: From admin console – run following CLI: (please note that we must include "application NCS" although it's optional in CLI. Without it, we may not be able to restore from the backup).
% backup filename repository repositoryName application NCS
Note: If using the command line backup, please stop the ncs server (ncs stop) otherwise the resulting backup coming out of it may be faulty (because backup job does not shut down the database during the backup).
Option 2: From gui, run server backup now:
% "Administration" -> "background tasks" -> select "NCS server backup" -> select "Execute now" -> GO
Option 3: Use nightly backup. Can be setup using following steps:
% "Administration" -> "background tasks" -> click "NCS server backup" -> this will bring you to the nightly backup config page.
NOTE: When using CLI backup commands, we should always use "application NCS" option in order to backup application data not the whole appliance.
For Restore:
Restore should be performed with the command "restore repository application NCS" as well.
Hope it will help
Thanks-

Reformat MacBook and restore a Backup
what exactly do I have to do to reformat my MacBook and restore the Backup I have on my external hard drive? I want to revert to OS X only after installing Vista. will this bring back the EFI partition that was deleted?
well I figured it out, I had used superduper, then I just booted onto my external drive and opened disk utility and used it to format my hard drive and restore it from the external drive, luckily this also fixed the problem of brining back the EFI partition and I was able to get XP back. now I can play my old games again
Microsoft copied so many features from OS X on Vista
BOYCOTT VISTA!!!!!!!!!
even though you didn't really help me but your the only person that actually responded and at least tried to help I'll give you help points. thank you
(its really annoying having no one respond when you need it especially when doing something like installing Vista on your Mac which isn't supported so you have to do it blindly not knowing what the **** your doing because no one had the decency to respond) -

What model Mini?
How to identify Mac mini models
If you have another Mac there are ways to use the other Mac to regain use of the "new" Mac.
Try booting to recovery and see if you can reinstall the OS:
OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support
Doing so depends upon the OS that was on the Mac before and what was done.
Otherwise you will need to boot from install disks.
You can call Apple 1-800-MY-APPLE
If you have a Mac with an Intel processor you can order Snow Leopard install disk here
and boot from it and format the disk and instll Snow Leopard. -
Does anyone know what this error code means?My itunes will not even open, no matter how many times i downlaod and restore it??? "The procedure entry point xmlITexTextReaderName could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2.dlll." Please let me know if your know anything! It is greatly apprecitated!
Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (Although the procedure is for Vista and 7 and you've got XP, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

After moving from Canada to the US, getting a new iPhone 5C, and restoring my backup from iCloud, I can't update my apps. I get an error message that my account is not valid in the Canadian App store and I must change to the US store. How do I do that?
Change here:

You must have a verified billing address & be located in the country whose store you are trying to use. -

Please help me !!The Seagate backup drive I bought doesn't support 10.5.8
The only reason I can see for that is it's formatted NTFS, which would likely be Read Only in 10.5.x, if you can reformat it MacOS extended, which would erase everything on it now, then that should work for your purposes. -

I upgraded to the new IOS, but lost data and apps. When I try and restore the only backup I see is the one it made AFTER the lost data. How can I access an older backup from the cloud?
Why don't you talk to apple and find out if backup exists? That conversation with apple will stop your guessing.
