Did a backup on external drive since had to have a partition repaired. When restored data, mail "on my mac' folders did not restore.

Repair itunes library (damaged) file. Multiple iTunes libraries on an external harddrive. All libraries have been working fine. Do some "housecleaning" on a one of the large libraries 296GB. iTunes quit and now has damaged file. 296 GB still on HD.

The duplication is unnecessary. Exporting creates a duplicate of the file. So now you'll have a duplicate of a duplicate. Exporting is not "working on" a file.
No it's not merging, it's exporting from one to the Finder and into another. No matter what lose something. If you export the Original you leave behind all the work you've done in iPhoto. If you export anything else, you lose the non-destructive editing and the ability to revert to the original. With merging you preserve that work. Yes, you can trash the old Library when you have completed the manoevre but no it's not the same thing as merging.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue. But in brief:
Current gets you the iPhoto Preview, used for sharing via media browsers. It's a jpg, medium quality missing metadata. Original gets the file you imported, unchanged and then you can export different version of the current version at different qualities. If you choose to export anything except the Original you do not get a Raw. There's no such thing as an "edited Raw", and you lose the connection between the original and the exported version. That means you've taken a non-destructive workflow and turned it into a destructive one.
The Tiff will certainly be higher qulaity and less likely to suffer generational loss in future editing but the file sizes are vast, often more than 10 times the size of the jpeg.
Put it this way, it would be cheaper to buy Library Manager than the disk you'll need to contain all the Tiffs. Unless you plan on a lot of editing, I'd go for a high quality jpeg as a reasonable compromise.
To be clear:
So, I guess my new question is, how can I edit the Raw image and keep it in a RAW format that IPhoto recognizes so that I can reprocess without any loss at a future time, or is it that once you edit a RAW image, then it is no longer a RAW image?
Once you edit a Raw it can no longer be a Raw. End of.

HT1751 I copied my iTunes folder to an external HD and now I cannot delete it. When I try to move it to the trash it displays The item "iTunes" can't be moved to the Trash because it can't be deleted.

I copied my iTunes folder to an external HD and now I cannot delete it. When I try to move it to the trash it displays: The item “iTunes” can’t be moved to the Trash because it can’t be deleted.

Close iTunes. Click the icon to start it, then press and hold down the left shift key. Keep holding until asked to choose or create a library. Choose the iTunes folder on your external drive. That should bring back all your playlists, ratings, play counts etc. You may have to settle for removing and reloading the media onto the device again. That's not too bad, but what you don't want to have happen is your apps being removed and reloaded as then you can lose settings and data. If that looks likely backup and then restore the device rather than sync it.
If for some reason rebuilding the library the way you did has moved files around then the restored library may have trouble finding things. If so post back and I'll explain what to do...

If I've downloaded my music to an itunes library from an external hard drive and I have several duplicate songs, is there an easy way to delete the duplicate songs? Or, do I have to go through my entire library song by song to delete duplicates?

HOW CAN I BACKUP ANOTHER EXTERNAL HARDDRIVE INCASE THE MAIN GOES BAD.

I want to know how to use the automator to schedule lets say everyother day incase my main backup harddrive goes out.
I am using timemachine on it along with alot of pictures and videos on the first external harddrive and i have another external harddrive beside it that i want it to backup the same info the first one has.
I hope this makes sense to yall out there please help.

I suggest that you actually make a different type of backup - a bootable clone backup:
Backup Software Recommendations
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
SuperDuper!
Synk Pro
Tri-Backup
Others may be found at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files.

How can I take backup in External HardDrive and then reinstall new OS and then restore data from External Hard Drive

I have goot some issue with my Macbook i7, I am not able to start my Macboook its keep showing the Grey screen after login.
I have done something where I have successully taken the OS backup on External Hardrive which was saying computer will start automatically. After this I founded a Fresh new computer but may be that was running on External hard drive.
I am **** confuse what should I do next?
Anyhelp wold be great......

Delete the user account, then use the "Erase Free Space" option in the Erase tab of Disk Utility to write zeroes to the drive. Stick with the "Fastest" method (one pass of zeroes) unless you're hiding secrets from the NSA - anything more stringent is a waste of time.

Error when making an image backup to external harddrive: Files on Z-drive unable to access.

Hello, this is the 3rd time I have this problem. Every time after a major Windows (mine is Vista) update R&R does no longer work.
When I start to create a full image back-up I get some 2 times 5 error messages saying something like: Unable to access or copy to/from
5 times the message z:\tvtos\winpe.wim error 1393 = disk structure problem er something
5 times the message z:\Preload\drivers\E1e5032.SYS Error 5 no access
I may or may not get a message: " Fcopier MFC application is not functioning" (during the copy to/from z: ),
then after 30 minutes the backup gets cancelled automatically.
I assume the Z disk is a virtual memory disk.
I had stopped my virusprotection, firewall software.
I have run this as Administartor
The problem is the same when I run the R&R as Administrator ( I am).
Then after tens of minutes the backup operation gets automatically cancelled.
I have not been able to find a fix for this problem, but before it was fixed by a Lenovo R&R update.
Thanks,

Lenovo Toolbox Warning:
No system backup has been made for the past 212 days.. and counting
I really do not understand this Lenovo support attitude. How can anybody that is customer focused and enjoys his/her job, just fully ignore a customer problems ??
Only one retired employee that is interested (thanks for that) but can not do much.

Backup to external harddrive

Hello,
I want to backup my iPhoto library to an external firewire drive so that I can rebuild my iBook. How do I do this without going into each individual folder and dragging the photos to the hard drive? If i drag the folder "iPhoto Library" to my drive and then try to move it back, will it mess things up with I try to import into iPhoto from that photo?
How do I do this?
Thanks,
Matt

Hi Mathew,
Drag the entire iPhoto Library folder to a Mac formatted external.
After you rebuild your ibook and reinstall iPhoto (do not open it yet) drag the iPhoto Library folder from the external back into the Pictures folder of your ibook. Launch iPhoto and it should open the library. There is no importing done this way.

My itunes library is stored on an external harddrive which i dont have on me at the moment, i would like to add songs from my computer to my ipod touch, can i do this without losing the songs already on there?

I store all y music on an external harddrive and update my ipod from that normally. However at the moment I dont have it but would like to put songs that i have added to my itunes and are stored on my computer onto my ipod touch. Is there a way to just add songs to the ipod touch without losing all the rest of the songs on there?

You should be able to to it by using manual syncing method. See that method here:
iTunes 11 for Mac: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad

Help! I had to have a new hard drive put in my computer and now it doesn't

I had to replace my hard drive and then the company that did that put in windows Vista Ultimate for me and I have heard that I will lose everything that is in my Ipod since it will have to reformat itself...what can I do? I don't want to lose all my movies and music...

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here, you'll also need to check out which ones are Vista ready as the may not all be updated to be compatible yet: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

I have since gotten a new Apple ID and when I go to update my apps the original Apple ID appears and I have no access to that old account. How do I get by this so I can get the newest updates?

I have gotten a new Apple ID because I couldn't get my original Apple ID password to go through. Since then I have looked at all my settings and the Apple ID appears correctly except when I try to do updates and it asks for my Apple ID which is the original one when I first set up the iPad and I can't get the password for and it doesn't show my new Apple ID so I can't update my apps. How do I fix it so I can get my apps updated??

Delete them and then download them from the desired Apple ID. This may require repurchasing paid applications.

Since I updated my phone and installed itunes on my new laptop, none of the songs I purchased from itunes will work. NOT HAPPY.

Since I last updated my phone and installed itunes on my new laptop, all the songs I purchased (and spent alot of money on) wont play on my phone or itunes on my laptop.

thanks for the reply
it looks as though i have to download them all again because next to each song on both my phone and laptop there is a cloud with a red arrow.
i installed the itunes, then plugged my phone in and followed all the instructions- the itunes on my laptop shows all the songs but still has the cloud symbol

I spent hrs fixing my iTunes since I did the update and it wiped out everything! I have put all of my iTunes on my external hard drive and it works but I got a new computer. I installed iTunes on the new computer but now the folders on my ehd are empty!

I am having a very hard time. First I finally got all of my music back into iTunes and then moved them all to my external hard drive. I set up iTunes to automatically put and get music from the external hard drive and whenever I open the drive al of the music is there. Now, I bought a new computer and went ahead and got iTunes all set up then tried to add folder to import from the external hard drive but all the music folders are empty! They show the names of the artists and the albums but there is nothing inside. Please help!!

If you've just moved the drive between systems then see Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows just in case that reveals the missing files. Apply to a single album folder first as a test. Otherwise, if you've not done too much with the drive since things went missing, an undelete tool might recover the lost media. FreeRecover looks promising... Select the drive, use the options to get file paths and check file integrity, then, presumably, you can restore anything that has been deleted that looks recoverable. Backup to another drive when you're done.
