Connected seagate HD with recovered data now have 2 iPhoto librarys

Connected a seagate external HD with data they retrieved from a external HD that stopped working. After connecting that HD I now have 2 iPhoto libraries, which are locked. Get a warning when open iPhoto. Can libraries be combined?

Couple of things to try:
Restart your mac and try launch iPhoto again.
If that fails:
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a file called ‘iPhoto’Lock.data or similar. Drag it to the Desktop. Make no other changes. Start iPhoto. Does that help?
If not: Where is your iPhoto Library stored? If it's on an External Disk, what format is that?
If you have Aperture 3.3 or later and iPhoto 9.3 or later you can merge libraries with Aperture.
Otherwise the only way to merge Libraries is with the paid ($30) version of iPhoto Library Manager

HT204150 I have synced an iPhone 4S with iCloud - I now have a 5C to replace it. What happens to my data when I retire the 4S - does it need the original device to save my data?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Once you have restored your new phone from the backup of your old phone and ensured that everything is working correctly, you should first turn off "find my phone" on the old phone and then erase it, before you get rid of it.

What do you mean it isn't' compatible? What isn't compatible?
There is no limit to the number of iPods you can sync to one computer, iTunes library, or iTunes account. Simply connect each separate iPod/iPhone to your computer and configure each to sync whatever content you wish to.

I have very thin, colored lines running vertical on my desktop monitor screen. I don't know where they come from or how to get rid of them. I started with one and now have three. Can anyone give me some insight about what to do in getting rid of them?

I have very thin, colored lines that have shown up on my IMac monitor screen. I don't know where they came from or how to get rid of them. I'm concerned now because I started with one and now have three. Does any know why this occurs or how to get rid of them?

I got an address from Applecare, although I can't place my hand on it right now. I didn't bother persuing the letter route myself as I didn't expect much. I know that the location was Cork, Ireland though as that where the UK Applecare is based as far as I'm aware. The best thing to do is to call Applecare (if it's free) and discuss the issue. State that you are not happy wit the fact that you will have to pay to have the problem resolved especiiay if it is an ongoing problem that has not been resolved. I ended up speaking to a senior manager of the Applecare team who then proceeded to tell me about mailing in my grievence to customer services division or something like that.
If I can find the address I may post it if I'm allowed.
In the case of age, Schools usually have a 5-year life-cycle as they tend to be used differently than consumer machines, i.e. being used constantly on a daily basis for at least 12 hours with no break. you would expect issues to appear after a few years, but I expect problems that arise through defects to be resolved and stay resolved. As I mentioned we had machines for around 2 years before the lines appeared and sent them to be repaired. I'm happy with that. What I am unhappy about is the fact that the problem has reappeared exactly in the same way and now I'm left with around 7 machines that I either pay loads to repair or, the more likely replace the machines with newer ones since the age is now big enough to warrant the replacement.
Sorry for the lengthy moan, but these are the reasons I purchased Apple ahrdware in the first place to avoid the "not our problem" stance some PC vendors usually take, similar to the Dell monitors thread mentioned in here somewhere.

Droid Razr HD won't connect to anything with cellular data. Also won't show messages correctly. Notification pops up, but no message to be found.

My Droid Razr HD won't connect to anything when I'm using my cellular data. Also, when I receive messages, a notification pops up but no message is shown at all.

Let's get your phone connected to everything with cellular data Larissaadele! We need some more clues to explore options to resolve! When did this connectivity issue start? For the messaging issue outlined in your post, are you referring to text messages or voice mail messages? What is your phone's software version?

Nubie with Tungsten E2 with Mac sync, now have Palm Centro... can I sync both?

I have been using a Tungsten E2 for about 12 months, and now have a Palm Centro phone. I need to use both, and don't know what I should do about loading both disks on my Mac OS X 10.4.11 and if I can sync both. Any thoughts?
Post relates to: Tungsten E2
Message Edited by FranAnne1 on 01-26-2010 07:32 PM

You can sync both, but it is recommended that you have two different usernames for both devices. If the Centro is to become the main device you can sync the device to the same username of the E2. But the E2 then should be hard reset and synced with a different username.
Reason this is, is so the devices and programs that run do not have problems in the future. If you have two different devices with the same username you can risk corrupted data, programs, and OS.
If you have any questions please post back.

Had old Lightroom license with employer. Now have my own copy & need to change it

Hi,
Hope someone can help as after spending hours trying to get help from customer service keep getting cut off.
I have just left a job where I was given a company license for Lightroom. I now have bought my own copy to run on my Mac desktop and laptop. On one machine i deleted and reinstalled software and added my new license no problem and it has remembered it. However on my other machine doing the same method it keeps remembering the old license key from my employers software and defaults back to it even when i try and change it under registration section.
Please help.
Thanks

laurianne,
Try this. I don't know if it will work. You have to have an Apple ID set up as an email on your device.
Under Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendar go to the Apple ID you want the calendar on. Switch just calendar on for that email.
Under Settings->iCloud turn OFF calendar on your iCloud ID.

Replaced my hard drive and now have no iphoto. Do I now need to purchase it?

Replaced my hard drive after it totally died. Recovered most of the data, but now there is no IPhoto. Do I now need to purchase ILife?

If iPhoto was included with the Mac then the disks that came with your MBP will have a Software Install disk that you can use to do a custom install of just iPhoto or whatever iApp you need. The disk may be like one of these:

Why are my photos from iPhone disappearing? Why do I now have several iPhoto libraries?

Hi!
A while ago, I realized that all my photos from iPhoto were missing. Apple told me that I accidentally deleted them from the applications folder. This has happened again a couple times now. I have been backing my photos up with a hardrive, and for some reason I now have several libraries, all containing different photos that I once thought had been deleted. Is it possible to have only one iPhoto librbay instead of several? And why is it that sometimes when I open iPhoto, all my photos are suddenly missing?
Stasia Stass

Hi ...
Photos are not stored in the Applications folder, only Applications.
If you are using iCloud, open System Preferences > iCloud. Deslect the box next to Photo Stream off then back on. Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync your photos.
If you are not using iCloud, try rebuilding the iPhoto library.
Instructions > iPhoto 6 and later: Rebuilding the iPhoto library

I downloaded the new iOS software on my iPod touch 4th gen. Now it's saying connect to computer with iTunes, I only have a iPad I don't have a laptop is there any way to bypass this

I Downloaded the new iOS software on my iPod touch now when I turn it on it has a USB cord and says connect to computer and iTunes, well the only other

No. You have to connect the iPod to a computer and restore via iTunes.
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Find a friend or go to an Apple store.

Problem with recovering data from Bit Locker enabled hard disk with bad sectors

Hi,
I have Lenovo T430 laptop with Windows 7 and Bit Locker enabled hard disk. While working I encountered blue screen error multiple times. After some time, the laptop stopped to boot by itself and started showing error 'A disk read write error has occurred.
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart' message. I tried to connect the hard disk to a different PC as a secondary drive and tried to check the disk to recover the data. The 500 GB disk is showing as unallocated space and I am not sure how to recover the
data from the hard disk. Appreciate your help to recover the data from corrupted hard disk.
I used the Lenovo Diagnostics tools available in BIOS and it showed 48 bad sector errors on the hard disk. I also used Windows 7 CD and tried auto repair but it looks like it didn't do anything.
Thanks in advance!

Hi SenneVL,
Since there are 48 bad sectors on your hard disk, this means the system can not boot any more, the data might not be restored in a normal way, you'd better turn to data restore company for help.

Cannot open Microsoft Office after copying it across from external HD with recovered data from my broken macbook HD.

I have recently had to replace the hard drive in my macbook pro. All the data has been recovered from my old one onto an external HD and I have copied over everything from this onto the new HD on my macbook. Everything is fine except for Microsoft Office (2011).
Although I can see all the Microsoft Office programs in the Applications folder, I can't open any of them. It sort of tries, but then doesn't open. All my word, excel, etc documents have the little 'W' or 'X' in the icon and I can preview them, but it won't open.
So far I have copied Office and Messenger into Applications, 'Microsoft' into Application Support, 'Microsoft' into Preferences, and the 'Microsoft-Userdata' into Documents.
Have I missed something? I don't have the original CD or product key anymore so don't think I can completely reinstall.
Thanks.

Thanks for your help - I have now found the original product key (although still no disc!) so is there any way now? After this, I'm giving up and just biting the bullet and buying it again, annoying!

Need help with recovering data from a truecrypt HDD

I have done something stupid, I have run fdisk on my truecrypt hdd by mistake, and created 2 new partition. the 1st one on 67mb and the 2sd for the rest of the hdd.
Can someone plz help me with restoring the data? I am not really sure there to begin.

Get testdisk. I use Parted Magic to recover partitions with Testdisk. So long as you can decrypt the resurrected partitions AND provided you have NOT written to those two partitions after they were fdisk'ed you should be able to recover from this mess. I really recommend PartedMagic for this sort of thing only because it has a good interface and a lot of other tools in one place.
Testdisk isn't hard to use and there are mini-tutorials out there if you're really stuck such as these links from our wiki:
Testdisk and Photorec

Connect Crystal report with FI Data through MAXDB ERP Tables or Datasources

Hi,
I want to create crystal report queries for SAP ERP FI Data. The source system database is MAXDB.
How can i connect the maxDB database or ERP to crystal report?
Do i need tables or datasources to create queries, and how do i connect them to crystal report.
I will thankful for any help.
Kind regards
Arnaud

I would recommend to take a look here:
BOBJ and SAP R/3
/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2008/03/23/businessobjects-and-sap-part-4
The drivers I am talking about will be available in the CR Designer once you install the BO integration kit for SAP solutions.
If you try to access directly the underlying MAX DB database you will not have access to all data since SAP ERP stores the data partially compressed in the database tables.

Stratos
