I just upgraded to LR4, how do I get all my LR2 images into LR4?

Images are not "in" Lightroom. Image files are on the hard drive, and the Lightroom edits are in the catalog.
Lr creates a link between the catalog and the image files on the hard drive.
So, there is no need to bring images from one version of Lr to the other.
When you install Lr4 it will find your existing catalog and update it (in fact it updates a copy of the catalog); Lr4 will then "know" where your images are because their location is recorded in the catalog.
It is the unfortunate choice of the word "import" that creates the impression that images are in Lr like eggs in a basket. Nope!

Upgrading OS - How do I get all my music back into reinstalled iTunes?

Hi. We are upgrading my operating system from Windows 2000 to XP on my computer that currently runs iTunes. I have my entire iTunes folder backed up on another computer. I know I'll probably have to reinstall iTunes after the OS is upgraded. But how do I add all that music back into the new version of iTunes? We won't be replacing the hard drive, so all that music should still be on the same computer.
When I reinstall iTunes, will it automatically add the music back, or will I have to do that manually? If so, how do I do it? Just go to the "Add a folder" option in iTunes and add the entire iTunes folder? If I do that, my playlists should be restored since I have the .itl file in that folder, right?
This is so confusing.

Install iTunes.
Copy the backed up iTunes folder into My Documents/My Music.

Use your backup copy of your computer.

Just upgraded HDD, now how do I get my data back??

I just upgraded my stock 60GB HD to a 120GB Seagate Momentus 5400 ($100). This is what I did:
1. Before removing the 60GB HD, i created a read-only disk image of my HD(with Disk Utility on the OSX install CD). I put this disk image on my USB external hard drive.
2. Physically replaced the 60GB with the 120GB.
3. Now, I boot up the computer to the OSX install CD (since it is a blank new HD). I open up Disk Utility on the install CD, and try to restore the image i created (on my external USB HD) to my new 120GB internal drive. I am able to select the image to restore, but cannot select my internal drive as the destination.
I have all sorts of music, movies, applications...etc. on my old HD that I want on my new drive.
I want to have my computer be identical to before I upgraded, just with a larger HD. Is this possible?
I have tons of external USB HD space to use if needed, and I also still have the old HD... if I need to create a different kind of disk image or something.
Please help!
Macbook 2.0GHz (White) Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I did this already. I failed to mention it in my first post. I have my HD "111.8 GB Seagate..." and underneath it: "Macintosh HD". Still can't restore an image to the "Macintosh HD" volume.

How do I get all my songs back into iTunes?

I had over 1500 songs in my iTunes library. They were visible on my iPhone, iPad, and iPod AND my PC. All my songs are intact on my devices but I only have 181 songs on my PC. When I try to sync my devices, I get the message that all my library on the idevice will be lost and all I will have is 181 songs in the iTunes library on my PC. How in the world do I fix this? It took a long time to add these songs and I sure don't want to start all over again by adding them again. Thanks in advance!!

The sort fields should generally be empty unless you've putting in custom values to sort solo artists by their surnames. You can apply common changes to thousands of tracks at once, just don't apply the wrong change because there is no undo.
It is a good idea to backup before undertaking large scale changes. See this backup tip for a suggested approach.

How can I get all of my images to appear when exporting from InDesign (CS2) to a pdf?

Many of my images are disappearing when I try to convert them. I had this same problem last year, but I would just replace the picture (which was a huge pain because there are 24 images per page) and then eventually after a few attempts they would all show up. Any ideas what the problem is?

OS = Operating System for your computer (and the version of the operatiing system, please, like Windows 7 x-64 or Mac OS X 10.8.3).
Patch level is which updates you have installed for your version of ID. CS6 is version 8, and the latest patch is 8.0.1. If you don't know, once you tell us the OS we can tell you how to find out.
Preview mode is accessed from a button at the bottom of the Toolbox, from the View menu, or by pressing W when the text tool is not active. It makes the pasteboard disappear, along with non-printing objects.

How do I get all of my songs into ONE list?

The subject line sums it up. I don't need or want my songs scattered into different categories all over the place. That might be fine for others, but I want only ONE list. How do I achieve this?

You can always drag and drop them into a playlist.
That's not for me. To my way of thinking, that's for the computer to do, not me. Anyway, I discovered (remembered) that all I had to do was drag the partition.Thanks for the suggestion, anyway.

How can I get all my music files into my itunes folder?

I have tons of music scattered all over my computer in different locations, I want to put all the music in my itunes folder- C:\Documents and Settings\David\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music
The problem is, is when I move the music to my itunes folder the music I move does not play in itunes. So how can I do this
Thanks

Don't move files manually! That indeed causes iTunes to lose track. Use the command Advanced > Consolidate Library. Before you begin, read up on Consoidate in the Help file so you understand what it does.
When you are done consolidating, you can delete the extras if you wish.

How can I get an InDesign vector images into Flash without redrawing

I've created a logo in InDesign and trying to get it into
Flash to create a symbol?
Thank you,
Suzy

Oops, EPS can't be opened directly in Flash. You can open the
EPS in Illustrator and save as .ai and open that in Flash.
In Flash, use File > Import > Import to Stage. If
Import to Stage is faded out, just make sure you select a layer
that isn't locked.

How do I get 'all' my audio books into the Audiobook folder?

Hi, I'm an iTunes newbie (new touch) and am trying to get to grips with some of the quirks of iTunes.
I have some audio books I purchased from Audible.co.uk and when imported into iTunes these go into the Audiobooks folder in the iTunes Library.
However, I also have several audio books I have converted from CD's into MP3. When I import these into iTunes, they always end up in the music folder of the Library. No amount of dragging and dropping or searching of the 'preferences' have allowed me to move these files into the Audiobook folder. Can this be done in iTunes?
Any help greatly received.
Regards,
Glenn

If you are going to do it this way, I would suggest a SmartPlaylist.
Highlight all of your audiobooks, go to file, then get info. Now, pick a section to edit (Comments, grouping or genre are the best choices) and enter a tag such as "Audiobook".
Now, create a SmartPlaylist to only show anything with that particular tag.
For example, "Genre contains audiobook". Only files with Audiobook will show up.
Forgive me if you knew how to do this, but I figured as a new user this might be helpful.

Consolidate your files in the iTunes folder
You can consolidate all the files in your library in the iTunes folder—for example, to make it easier to move your library to a new computer.
Choose File > Library > Organize Library.
Select “Consolidate files.”
Files remain in their original locations, and copies are placed in the iTunes folder.
To create folders (Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, Audiobooks, and so on) inside your iTunes folder, and place all your imported media files in the appropriate folders, select “Reorganize files in the folder ‘iTunes Media.’”

2011 MacBook Pro dead not turning on, how do I get all my files off it?

Hi,
I have an early 2011 15" MacBook Pro. Basically it's completely died on me, a few things have been going wrong so I know it's times up. I just want to know how I can get all my photos, documents & files off if it's completely died & won't turn on? Are all my files ect on the hard drive or on amother part of the computer. Any help would be really appreciated as I have a lot of photos of my 2 young children on there which will break my heart to lose.
Thank you in advance for any help
Shelley

Remove the drive from the Mac and place it in an external drive case. You may be able to access the files.
buy yourself an external drive and start backing up, this need not have been a problem.
there is a recall in place on your Mac, for graphics problems, take it to an Apple Store, if yours qualifies there is a free repair available
