Accidently replaced old photos with new imports

I have a Dell PC. I hadn't used this computer for a few months. When I started importing multiple memory cards into Lightroom, it replaced all old files with the same file name. I have 40 folders missing from my computer. What can I do to recover the original files?

I have Windows Vista. I have LR3. I have pictures from 2010-2014 in there. Every time I have pictures, I plug in my memory card and import straight to Lightroom. I always classify by date and leave the files named as they are on my camera. For example DSC_4067.NEF We moved for the summer, then moved back into our house and have five memory cards to upload/import. I uploaded all of them in the same day. Now I am finding that the most recent files had the same file names as files from 2012 and now the 2012 files will not show in Lightroom, nor in any searches on the rest of my computer. I have search manually for each .jpg and .nef file on my computer and the only results are the most recent ones. Not any from 2012.

Replacing old photo with a new one

A few years back I imported some of my photos off of a photo cd that came with my prints. Now I am scanning the negs at a higher resolution than they supplied on the photo cd. My question is.. is there anyway to replace the old photos with the new photos so that all of my faces, places, dates, keywords etc. will remain intact?

Also make sure you've renamed the new file exactly the same as the old file, same case, format, etc.

Can't replace old text with new text in a text box

Hello everyone. This is my first time posting in the forum, so I'm hoping this works out well. We recently purchased a few copies of Adobe Acrobt X for the office, and one of the users is having an issue with editing text in a field. She can type new text into a box, but when she goes back to replace that text with something else, the old text stays. New text appears on top of the old text, and you can see both. Is there a way to simply highlight the old text, delete it, and then replace it with new text? Thanks in advanace for your assistance. I understand this might be confusing, so let me know if you have questions.
Thanks,
Dan

You have to use the text touchup tool (there is a new name like text edit tool in AA X) to edit such text. It sounds like you are using the typewriter tool or something like it. Text editing in Acrobat is not for the weak at heart. It can be very frustrating and is not recommended except for very minor changes. If at all possible, you should edit the original and just recreate the PDF.

Replacing Old characteristic with new ones in a Cube

Hi,
I have 3 Z InfoObjects for capturing time information like the month, year and week. The user is requesting for variables like current month, current year etc on these variables frequently. I have written customer exit for bringing the current week etc values on the Z InfoObjects.
However, I want to avoid writing of the code in future and hence have created 3 more InfoObjects which reference to the standard time characteristics, i.e. the Z month InfoObject will refer 0CALMONTH etc. so that the standard variables of 0CALMONTH can be used for our Z InfoObjects also. Now I want to replace the old InfoObjects with these new InfoObjects(the ones referencing the standard time characteristics) in a InfoCube. My question is how do we get the historic data for these new InfoObjects as the Historic data is in the old Z InfoObjects. Any thoughts/suggestions would be helpful..
thanks in advance.

<i>Generated export Datasource of the InfoCube after adding the new 3 characteristics. Then in the Update Rules mapped only these 3 characteristics with the old characteristics and did a full upload.</i>
You need to map the 3 old Characteristics to the 3 new ones, and you need to map all the other InfoObjects too.
In the following I refer to the 3 old temporal Charactersitcs as T1, T2 and T3 - and to the 3 new temporal Chars as T1', T2' and T3'. The other (old) Chars are referred to as Cn, and the Key Figures as KFn:
T1 --> T1'
T2 --> T2'
T3 --> T3'
C4 --> C4
C5 --> C5
KF1 --> KF1
KF2 --> KF2
After the load you should delete the old requests to avoid data duplication.
<i>I was expecting that the record will have the new characteristic and also the value in it after the load. But it is not happening.</i>
I reckon you don't have any value because you haven't mapped the Key Figs (as well as severlal Characteristics) in the Update Rules.

Replacing old TC with new larger capacity TC and using old TC as an external HDD

I currently have a 500GB 1st gen TC. I am running out of space for back ups and running out of room on my iMAC HDD. I would like to purchase a nw 2TB TC to back up both my iMAC, macbook, and expected Macair when the new ones are released.
Questions:
1. Can I use the old TC as an external HDD only? I would like to place my iTunes Library and photos on it so it is visilble accross the network via wi-fi.
3. If I move my libraries is there a method to make them available to me when I travel via the internet? Or is this the upcoming cloud sharing I've heard so much about?
2. My understanding from vaious discussions is that I can not connect the old TC (via the TC USB port) directly to the the new TC and have the old one continuously backed up to the new one (iMAC---new TC usb---old TC). In other words, if I were to move my itunes and photo media to the 500GB old TC then they would not be backed up. However, what if I conencted the old TC directly to the iMAC?
old TC----iMAC---new TC
Would it back-up to the new TC now? Can I connect it to the iMAC ethernet port or would i have to use the USB connection?
3. Can I daisy chain them together in a way that the new TC will backup both the iMAC and the old TC?
iMAC---old TC----new TC

You can connect a USB drive to the TC, and back up some or all of your Macs to it instead of the TC's internal HD. See #Q2 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule.
And you can put other data there, too, such as your iTunes library, but for best results you'll want to partition the disk. Otherwise, Time Machine will, eventually, use up all the empty space.
Also note that Time Machine cannot back up from any network drive, so you'll need to find an alternative way to back up that "other" data. The Chronosync app might be viable.

Old photos with keywords imported to LR keeping the keywords

I have old photos which were edited by another program and keywords added. How can I get LR5 to read in these keywords when importing the photos to LR? I use a pc.

If the other program wrote the keywords into industry-standard metadata fields in the photos, then LR will automatically import the keywords along with the photos. If the keywords aren't getting added, it's almost certainly because the other program didn't write the keywords into the photos. What's the other program? Many programs have an option or command to write the metadata fields.

How to replace old numbers with new mavericks version of numbers

Thanks to another thread, I have found the new versions of numbers, pages etc. in applications, but how do I get them to replace the old versions in the desktop?

Good call since Apple dumbed down the new iWork apps to make them compatible with their iOS counterparts.

Trying to synch music from iTunes to Apple iPhone4 to replace old items with new

When I try to synch selected music albums only and request that these replace previously synched albums on my iPhone4 (16GB), the synch part completes and still leaves all old items on the phone. How do I get rid of the old music to create enough space on my phone for new selected items of music.This only seems to have become a problem after one of the recent iOS upgrades.

Found the solution to my problem. First to colingoree, yes, the music does play from the computer. The problem was with the phone itself, not the ITunes software or computer operating system. After all failed attempts of the suggestions made by many, and the hours trying to solve and find a solution, in desperation I performed a hard reset within the phone settings > general > reset > erase all content and settings, then hard rebooted the phone pressing the home key and top button for about 3 seconds. This completly reset the phone, and yes! now the sync process works with ITunes, all music selected is downloaded to the phone, and WORKS!
This was a drastic measure to do a complete reset, but it was my only solution. When I purchased the phone, something must of happened when the dealer was puting in my contacts and such from the ICloud. Hope this helps to many out there, and yes thank you for the many suggestions.

How to replace old ipod with new one

I have just got an iPhone 64gb as my 32gb iPod touch is full. How do I transfer the contents from my old iPod to my new iPhone? It should be simple but doesn't seem to be!

Thanks. I think the problem is that the c:drive on my computer is full and so it does not have the capacity to do it. I have a new computer and have managed to copy the downloads on to the new computer but it won't sync the rest of the music because I think the old device is the registered device. If that makes sense!

How to replace old soundtrack with new?

Exporting from Keynote my presentation is a movie.mov and a separate moviesoundtrack.mov - how do I use QT pro to combine the two to run simultaneously (not sequentially)?

Oops. I was intending to reply to a different thread.
But on the subject you can open the new audio track, Select All and then Copy, then move to the video track and use Add to add the sound to the video track.
You should be able to remove an existing track by using Delete Track from the Edit menu.

Replacing a old photo with a new one.

LR is using meta data from previous edited photos on new imports

LR is using meta data from previous edited photos on new imports-
When I am importing new photos to a new catalog LightRoom gave all the photo settings that I had used on a previous catalogs photo I had to delete the catalog because I could not find an answer anywhere. Tried the deleteing and importing 3 times with same result.
Once I did Start another new catalog and pressed reset on everything I could find it worked.
What can I do if this happens again? Anybody know what setting that involves?

On the right side of the Import screen, there's a heading "Apply during import". (If it doesn't show, right-click on the panel on the right and choose it from the menu.) One of its sub-fields is Metadata. That field and the Keywords field below it, I think are "sticky". You need to make sure that they contain the metadata that you want applied in your current import.
It's almost always a bad idea to delete your catalogue or re-import images. Both those things fall at the very end of possible remedies because they cost you a lot of work, and there are almost always cheaper ways of solving your problem.

LR5.7 on Mac 10.7.5. I was importing DNG and JPG from an SD card. After import, several of the DNGs showed old photos which I imported months ago, but the JPG's were correct.

Using LR5.7 on Mac 10.7.5. I was importing DNG and JPG from an SD card. After importing, a few of the DNG images were old photos I had imported months ago, but the matching JPG's were correct new imports. The metadata was correct for the new imports. I tried a new SD card and it happened again. ???

it appears the actual image is probably in place, but the *preview* is incorrect. clicking on the image to zoom in causes (the normal) "Loading...", followed by a zoomed in view of the *correct* image. zooming back out gives the normal view of the correct image. (*very* good to know!)

Hi,
For custom forms and reports, you need to open it using Forms/Reports Builder 10g, compile it, and upload it again to the server.
For the CUSTOM_TOPs, make sure it is set in the custom<CONTEXT_NAME>.sh file under $APPL_TOP, and in default.env file on the Applications tier.

G62-234DX replaced hard drive with new Samsung 250 GB. Same size as installed.

G62-234DX Hard drive dead. I replaced hard drive with new Samsung 250 GB. SATA II hard drive and used the recovery Windows 7 Home edition DVD. Error message appeared after windows loads files and starts windows from the recovery DVD. An error dialog box opens after completing and indicates, This computer is not supported by the recovery discs. You will not be able to continue to recover this system with these discs. error: 0100-1425 -3627-3628-3623-3624. Hit OK and system powers down.

Hi:
If you purchased the recovery disks from HP, please see if making and running this first helps.
"CyberLink Recovery Discs utility resolves an issue where Recovery Discs sent from HP do not work on a new hard drive."
