Hard drive upgrade...now some programs aren't running properly

I've recently upgraded my hd...Now my iphoto and photoshop aren't running properly. My photoshop elements tries to boot up then says that it can't boot becuase the disk is not available. My iphoto won't recognize any photos when a camera is trying to import them. Everything else works great but these are the only two issues. Please help

I don't really use these programs anymore so no worries.

  • I've had trouble with my Macbook since the first month I bought it. I've replaced the hard drive 3 to 4 times. Now some programs won't work or shut off by itself. Is it possible to ask for a complete exchange of products?

    It would appear that you can ask for an exchange but it doesn't specify any time frame... Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can add to this.
    By the way, if you've replaced the drive so many times, perhaps there's something else going on elsewhere.

  • I downloaded some videos to Premier Elements 13 from external hard drive but now the external hard drive is damaged. I tried to open the videos on the organizer which it shows the video but with a yellow ? and says missing file. Is there anyway I can open

    I downloaded some videos to Premier Elements 13 from an external hard drive but now the external hard drive is damaged. While setting up my new MAC the external hard drive was dropped and I have been told by an outside source they could not retrieve the files.  It had 4 years of photos and videos on it. I remembered that I had downloaded some of the videos from the external hard drive (before it was broke) to Adobe Organizer 13 when I installed the Adobe 13 on my MACOS X 10.9.5.  I tried to open the videos on the organizer which it shows the video but with a yellow ? and says missing file. Is there anyway I can open these videos?
    Any input is greatly appreciated!! I am sick over losing the videos and had a little hope on Adobe Organizer until I was unable to open them.  I am thinking it is due to my external hard drive not being plugged in. I thought when I transferred from the external hard drive to Adobe 13 that it would be there without the external hard drive needing to be attached but maybe I did something wrong.
    Thanks again for any help!!!!

    It had 4 years of photos and videos on it.
    To what did your camera record those photos and videos - camera's internal memory, inserted memory card, other?
    Any remote chance that the latter may still exist for you to use to download the camera files to your new external hard drive?

  • I moved my itunes library to an external hard drive and now I can not update my phone and my apps aren't showing in the sidebar of my library. How can I fix this?

    I moved my whole library onto an external hard drive but now when I plug my phone in, it can't back up, it can't update and my apps stopped showing up on the side. It still charges and syncs but I can't update the software. I use a PC. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Ok. progress...
    So is your media folder called iTunes Music or iTunes Media? And does it have a folder called Music inside it?
    Before going any further you should first attempt to use File > Library > Organize Library > Rearrange files in the folder "<Media Folder>" (ignore if grayed out). This will make sure that any iPod Games or Mobile Applications get placed inside the iTunes Media folder which is needed for portability.
    If your iTunes Media folder is called iTunes Music, close iTunes, rename the folder as iTunes Media and start iTunes again. iTunes will automatically adjust. Close iTunes again.
    On your external drive rearrange the folders that you have already copied there so that they match the layout in your active library. You should end up with a folder called X:\iTunes where X: is the external drive letter, and the media folder is X:\iTunes\iTunes Media. If the library layout was upgraded then you will need to create a Music folder inside this and move all the artist folders and Compilations into Music. You will also need to copy iPod Games and Mobile Applications from your internal drive into the new media folder. Next copy the files iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Library Extras.itdb, iTunes Library Genius.itdb, sentinel and the folder Album Artwork from the internal drive into X:\iTunes. The preceding manipulations should make the internal and external copies of your library match without you having to copy all of the media over again.
    Now hold shift as you start iTunes. Click choose, browse to and open X:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl.
    Finally use File > Library > Organize Library > Consolidate files. This will ensure that any stray files that might have been added from outside your original media folder will be copied into the new one.
    You can now reclaim the space used by your library on the internal drive, however before you do so I would advise you to obtain another external drive and make use of this backup tip.

  • FCP 7.0.3, Canon XF100, saved some clips to a portable hard drive and now they won't import?  Tried moving them back to the CompactFlash but still won't import?

    FCP 7.0.3, Canon XF100, saved some clips to a portable hard drive and now they won't import?  Tried moving them back to the CompactFlash but still won't import?  iMac, 10.6.8

    Well, for FCP to see this file structure and recognize it, you need to download the Canon XF Log and Transfer plugin...
    http://software.canon-europe.com/software/0040354.asp?model=
    >I don't have the original clips on the card.
    Meaning that they didn't back up the full card structure?  Lordy...very few shooters do this and it is maddening.  If you don't have the full card structure, even with the plugin, FCP cannot log and transfer.
    As for ClipWrap2...that should work.  Do you have the right files?

    Be sure to start your iMac using its original grey System Install DVD: Insert that disc and start your Mac while holding the d key. At the Mac OS X Utilities screen select Disk Utility and format the hard disk. Select "Mac OS X Extended (Journaled)".
    Then, install OS X.

  • I had downloaded OS X Mountain Lion and had to replace my hard drive. Now when I try to download it only wants to upgrade since I show that I previously purchased it. What can I do to get the operating system back

    I had downloaded OS X Mountain Lion and had to replace my hard drive. Now when I try to download it only wants to upgrade since I show that I previously purchased it. What can I do to get the operating system back

    I'm unclear on what the problem is. Have you installed a system on the new hard drive, and if so, what system? Had you actually installed Mountain Lion previously, or only downloaded it? And what does "it only wants to upgrade" mean? Have you actually got Mountain Lion already installed? (See About This Mac in the Apple menu.)
    All Macs that shipped with Lion or newer are capable of internet recovery in situations like this. Just hold down command-R and it should start in recovery mode over the internet if necessary. You can reinstall the system from there. If you had Mountain Lion, I would assume that Mountain Lion would be the system you would get reinstalling that way.

    I lost my logic 8 pro serial number. I can't find the booklet that comes with the serial number. How can retrieve this? I upgraded from logic pro 7. I changed hard drives and now it keeps asking for the serial number. But I can't find it. Where can I request it? Thanks!

    If you still have the receipt or other proof of purchase, you can ask Apple to send you the serial. Otherwise, bad luck mate.. Good news is, you can now buy Logic Pro 9 from App Store for just 199 USD

  • Need Advice: Hard drive upgrade!

    In todays world, files and programs are starting to require more and more space. I went the cheap route and bought a 13" MacBook, 1.83Gz base-line model, with a combo-drive (oh, how I wish I got the DVD-burner) and a 60Gb hard drive. But with all my stuff, 60 just isn't enough, so I was thinking of upgrading my hard drive to a some-what larger model. Now, since MacBooks follow a common laptop (notebook :P) standard for hard drives, and have a readily accesible hard drive bay, installation of the actual hard drive should be easy! But once the hard drive is installed, how do I move the entire contents of my old hard drive to my new one? That includes: my home folder, Mac OS X, programs, etc. And I would not like to instead get an external one, because it would be much easier (and convenient) to have all my stuff on one, main hard drive, not to mention Mac can't have the home folder on an external drive, and programs may not run, or even install, as intended when located on an external hard drive.

  • G40 2384-A9U Hard drive upgrade

    I updated the bios to 1.21 which seems to be the latest bios 2006. The hard drive upgrade listed for purchase 2004 was an 80G. I was hopeing that I could put a larger dirve in because the newer bios was 2 years past the hard drive upgrade listing. I tried a 250G but it does not seem to be recognized. Does anyone know what the max hard drive size the latest bios supports?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I first entered CMOS (setup) and under security, and set the desktop to disable.  I was able to transfer the data to the 250G from the 40G using Ghost 2003 and selecting the image setting -IB (Image Boot). I was fortunate enough to have a floppy drive on the notebook (G40 2384-A9U). I attached an external USB 40G drive to the notebook, booted with Norton's Ghost 2003 boot disk created with USB support enabled. I went into options and selected Image Boot under the image tab and then copied the  existing 40G drive to the external 40G USB drive. I then replaced the 40G drive in the notebook with the 250G drive, booted with the Norton Ghost disk and selected the image boot again and copied the 40G USB drive to the new 250G drive now in the notebook. I went back into the CMOS (setup) and put the security for the desktop back to normal. The only thing different seem to be the utilities are missing if you hit the IBM access button. I notice that when you disable the security for the desktop in CMOS, you will see an unpartitioned space of almost 2Gigs. This appears to be where some of the 4 sectors that lenovo uses to hold the boot information and probably their utility programs. The norton -IB switch does seem to get the boot sector information but not the utility portion of the unused area. The result is the unused space is reduced to only 2 megs on a 40 Gig drive and shows up as 4 megs on the 250 Gig drive.

  • HELP PLEASE!! Hard drive upgrade problem

    Hi everyone. I under the direction of others bought an 60GB Powerbook Hard Drive 5400RPM HItachi upgrade from powerbookmedic.com. I bought my powerbook in early 2001 and when I took it apart and proceeded to load in the new hard drive I noticed that the new one did not have connector pins to hook up to the flex cable on the hard drive. Now am I am I missing something here or am I just a moron? I am really frustrated because the model I bought says that it fits with all Powerbook Titanium models. What am I missing? Help please!!!!!!!!!

    Hi, Denny.
    ...and when I took it apart and proceeded to
    load in the new hard drive I noticed that the new one
    did not have connector pins to hook up to the flex
    cable on the hard drive.
    So you removed the old drive, you detached the short flex cable from it, and now you find nothing on the new drive to connect the cable to? Am I understanding correctly?
    If so, is it possible that the connector on the new drive is covered with some sort of temporary shield to protect it during packing, shipping and handling? If it is, the shield should come off if you pull it in the same direction you pulled the flex cable to detach it from your old drive.
    I'm tempted to say you are surely missing something. For Hitachi to have shipped a drive that has no cable connector seems about as likely as for Toyota to have shipped a car with no tires installed, but I suppose anything is (barely) possible.

  • Replaced Hard Drive. Now what?

    HI, there aren't any Apple techs in area, so after talking to Apple Support  via phone I replaced the hardware on my MacBook Pro (early 2011) myself.  I am a little lost as what the next step is. I was not able to save anything on my computer but I do have an external hard drive. The bad news is I hadn't backed up for about a month and not sure what if anything is on iCloud.
    Do I just turn on the computer and plug in external hard drive and do some kind of transfer or do I need to download Safari and Maverick (I think that is what I had) first?
    Does anyone have a link where I can get directions?
    THanks for any help.

    If you have access to another Mac, sign into the App Store with your Apple ID and download Mavericks. You can make a bootable USB stick to install using this free program. It does all the work for you.

    I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
    You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots.  Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
    See Pondini's page for more explanation:   What are Local Snapshots?   http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
    You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.  
    The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library.  Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots.
