Help: Adjusted wrong file. Way to transfer adjustments or fix dpi?

My problem is too complicated in my brain for the subject line. Sorry.
I have a file I exported from Aperture as a TIFF. Didn't realize it was set to 72dpi export. Freak occurrence.
I spent a long time tweaking the file in PS. Got it just the way I wanted it. Then I realized it was set to 72dpi. 4 layers of combined adjustments make up the goo that makes the image what it is. Can I replicate them exactly- no. I didn't take notes. Stupid, I know. It's an important image to me, too (a friend's portrait I took at her wedding).
So, I have a 240dpi TIFF of the original (slightly tweaked in Aperture) that (except for the dpi) is *exactly* like the 72dpi tweaked version.
Is there any way to lift 4 layers from the 72dpi TIFF to the 240dpi TIFF without compromising print quality?
I'm just trying to find a way to *not* do the whole thing over.
Any suggestions or ideas or lessons on dpi, TIFFs, and such? Like, copying a flattened 72dpi image to the 240dpi image just puts in a 72dpi layer, so that doesn't help- right?
It's late and I'm feeling dumb =P
Help appreciated.

Ed:
I wondered about that, but I couldn't find anything definitive in my harried searching.
Same pixel dimensions.
Different dpi/doc size.
So, Resample off and put the dpi back where it should be.... I'll do that. It's a strange concept for me to wrap my head around, though =P
Ann:
On the Adjustment Layer/layers with adjustments part....
[ahem, adjusts cuffs nervously and cranes neck]
It's a mix.
I ended up merging things down to the 4 normal layers to play.... and I saved it in a rush when I closed up the computer. I built the image up from the 1st dupe layer, adding one effect or adjustment (from painting, to plug-ins, to filters) per layer. Normally this works just fine. I name them, can go back and fiddle on a per-layer basis.... but, like I said, after I merged my multiples down to 4 main layers to play with before I did my final output [pauses sheepishly].... It was just the way I wanted it, and instead of saving as a copy I saved over the psd with everything separate and nice.
n00b move on my part.

Firefox downloads a file with the wrong file extension. How can I fix this?

The title says it all. When I download files, it comes out with the wrong extension, not sure what extension it comes out as.
It actually just comes out as "file."
How can I fix this? Is there something in about:config I can tweak to eliminate this error?

Hi dartz!
This type of problems are not related with the browser you are using, in this case, Firefox. This issues are the consequence of the way that the website "packed" the file.
What you should do is download the file, locate the file, give right click on the file and select "Rename". Now, don't change the name!!! Just add "." and then the extension that you wanted. Example, you download the file "norwegianwood", after renaming it, it should read "norwegianwood.srt".
Hope this works for you, take care!

HELP PLEASE! Export Aperture 1 Library and Import to Aperture 3? Or another way to transfer files WITH changes into new MacBook Pro?

Hi everyone,
I recently purchased a new MacBook pro with Retina display, to better manage Aperture and Photoshop. I took the advice of the genius (and after spending all night messing with permissions, etc.), opted out of using Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant and decided to transfer my files manually (as the two systems weren't merging properly the first time -- it was a giant mess). Long story short, I tried to transfer everything from my previous MacBook (operating on 10.5.8 with Aperture 1), and Aperture 3 couldn't handle it. It was crashing, and crashing so badly that NO button could be activated in the program (I FINALLY got Aperture working by disabling previews, and by moving from a managed library to a referenced library).
I initially dragged and dropped all photos from my previous MacBook to my external, and imported. I obviously lost folders, edit history and any other information that I needed to know what edits had been done on the file. Additionally, any movie that had been imported into Aperture was corrupt (the file was not transferring over correctly). I searched and searched for different methods, and finally found that I could export each project from my original MacBook as a "Library" and consolidate masters, or not, etc. I took the time and did this for each project. When I went to import these into Aperture 3, it said I was not able to because the libraries were from a previous version of Aperture.
Is there any way to bypass this? Or another way to transfer my projects? I understand I won't be able to do this for my entire library... but I'm wondering if there's any way to transfer my changes made, projects and details from Aperture 1 to Aperture 3? (and for those who might pose upgrading my original MacBook as an option, I cannot. It's too old. I think the best I could uprade to is Aperture 2, IF i can update the OS. Though, I definitely don't think I should be forced to do that since I've aleady re-invested in a new computer, AND had to re-buy Aperture for the new one.
Any/all advice is VERY much appreciated, as I really want to move forward and FINALLY start appreciating this program and computer (i.e. my investment) and move forward business wise. Thank you!

Hi Jack,
Thanks for responding (as it seems as though no one else has been able to provide any insight as of yet)! Not sure if you saw my recent post, but the version of Aperture on the 2008 MacBook has been upgraded to 3.1.2 (not sure how; I bought it in 2009, but only have OS X 10.5.8... which apparently can't house 3.1.2 of Aperture, but hey, like many other anomalies i'm encountering, I'm no longer surprised!). I am unable to upgrade it any further, as it warns me that my OS X does not fit the requirements. I exported the projects as libraries; however, like I posted before, apparently these are from too old of a version for the new Aperture (3.3.1) to handle and import.
It's getting to the point where I'd almost pay to upgrade the OS X on my previous MacBook (10.5.8) to something newer in order to THEN update Aperture to a newer version; however, my previous MacBook simply cannot handle this (the specs are awful -- hence my decision to save up and upgrade to the newest MBP with Retina).
I've spent hours upon hours transferring files, libraries as projects, previews, versions, even masters (though, apparently some of them aren't accessible?) with no luck. I've rebuilt the library and reprocessed everything. And this is all after having to return one MBP already since Aperture 3.3.1 is glitch-y as it is, and froze everything for having a "managed library". So, now that I know that I have to deal with a referenced library in Aperture... I just need to actually transfer my previous library to my new one (hopefully WITH adjustments since these are years worth of photos and work).
Again, any help is appreciated. I've lost enough sleep, time, and vision health over this at this point.
Also, I know Migration Assistant is an option, I was told that it wouldn't work properly anyway because of the different operating systems, and the potential for problems.

If you want to drag and drop ( don;t know why you would do this), you will have to check manually manage music.
Why not just sync?

Is there a way to transfer subtitles (text) from one iMovie file to another?

Hi,
I spent literally hours of my life using iMovie 09 to add subtitles to a video before realising that I'd added them to the wrong one! You see, when I imported the video that I actually wanted to add subtitles to, instead of showing up at the top of the "Last Import" screen which would have made sense, it showed up at the bottom - below another version of the same video that I had imported into iMovie a month earlier. I didn't even remember doing this so didn't think twice about spending hours meticulously adding subtitles to this file. It's only when I got to the end of it that I saw the other video and nearly passed out from disbelief and anger....
Anyway, before I go through the whole painful process again, I just wanted to make sure that there's not a way to transfer the subtitles I did for the wrong video onto the right video? If there is, and someone could tell me how, I will love you forever.
Thanks!
P.S. Why is iMovie 09 not an option in the dropdown menu?

You should be keeping them all on your computer. You can just sync them to your new idevice
You can also redownload them.

Is there an easier way to transfer your iTunes library on windows to a mac than copying the library to a usb and plugging the usb into the mac and put the library in the iTunes file

is there an easier way to transfer your iTunes library on windows to a mac than copying the library to a usb and plugging the usb into the mac and put the library in the iTunes file? I recently swapped to Mac and this is how i moved the library from windows to mac and library is in tact but is there an easier way? My cousin just imported her cd's again, but it was harder for me as i have an ipod with over 150 apps and i needed to move them. i think it would be helpful if i knew of an easier way so i can help a friend move his. Thanks

The general method of use is to download a script (double-click or right-click and use Download or Save As...) to a folder of your choice, e.g. your Desktop, Downloads folder or create a folder at ...\iTunes\Scripts. Select a playlist or highlight some tracks in iTunes and then double-click on the script to execute it. If no specific tracks are selected the script will try to work with all tracks in the current playlist or sometimes the entire library.

What is the best way to transfer files?

I wasnt sure where to post this question, hopefully someone can help me. I want to transfer a large number of files (RAW IMAGES) over the internet so that my SIL can download them, edit them and transfer them back to me. Is there a way to send ALL OF THEM at one time instead of each file INDIVIDUALLY? Thanks for sharing your ideas!

Is the FTP access on my macs worth doing? My SIL uses a PC. Would it be easier for her to just access the RAW images directly from my computer?
Very possibly. I have done this and it works fine. The other platform does not matter, as long as an FTP client exists on that platform. (In Windows, Internet Explorer can be an FTP downloader, although there are plenty of better ones.)
The speed will be limited by your upload speed, which is typically much less than your download speed.
One problem is that OS X has rather coarse control over FTP users. Basically, for non-anonymous transfers, the remote user has to have a login/password on your Mac. If you want more and better control over FTP users, download PureFTPd Manager (free). It also gives you great feedback on current logged-in users, connections, and transfer rates. I could tell the difference between my legitimate friends and virus bots (unsuccessfully) attempting to log in after discovering the router port I opened to allow FTP through.

Fastest and easiest way to transfer system & files G3 to G5

I have a G3 b&W with a 400 firewire card in it, and two basic ATA hard drives. Which would be easiest way to transfer 10.3.9 system (with classic) by means of Carbon Copy Cloner, and all files to a partition on the G5 Mac.
Since the G5 has 400 & 800 firewire, or ethernet transfer.
I think Migration Assistant will help with the transfer, but not sure wich way to go about this.
Berry

Hi Berry, to use CCC you need an older version for 10.3, version 2.3, because the B&W doesn't support FWTDM.
Put the G5 in FW Target Mode…
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
Wait for the G5's HD to show up on B&W.
But, if perchance it's just Classic you need, you can Simply copy OS9's "System Folder" & "Applications OS9" over.

I have a mid year 2007 24 inch iMac and will be purchasing a new 27 inch Retina iMac, what is the easiest way to transfer the data and files from my old machine to the new one?

I have a mid year 2007 24 inch iMac and will be purchasing a new 27 inch Retina iMac, what is the easiest way to transfer the data and files from my old machine to the new one?

Following up on this thread,
I have a new iMac on the way and my current is from 2008, never had a problem but I am sure there are internal issues that I would prefer not to transfer.
I have no issues other then the slowness in certain programs and that is the main reason to buy a new one.
Programs like numbers and pages seem to take a longer time to open after I update to Yosemite.
I only use 272GB of 500 GB, my memory is 4GB and I am upgrading to 8Gb and bought the 4.0 processor.
Question:
Is there a way to manually transfer items or would that be a waste of time in that if there are issues they could be anywhere and would transfer anyway?

Is there a way to transfer files from a mac-book to another computer?

I need to get files off of my damaged Macbook and I'm not sure how to do it. Is there a way to transfer files from my macbook to another computer? The damage is to the screen of my macbook and it is severe- you can only see the top left of screen, the rest is cracked/blacked out. Is there anything I can do?

If the MacBook has a FireWire port, hook it and the other computer up with a FireWire cable, start up the MacBook with the T key held down, and copy the files off.

Is there a way to transfer Aperture files to Photoshop CS5 for editing?

Is there a way to transfer Aperture files to Photoshop CS5 for editing? I recently had a crash of CS5 Bridge. It seems to have caused a problem with Aperture. So, I reinstalled both CS5 and Aperture. Before installing CS5 I uploaded NEF (Nikon RAW) files to Aperture. Now I have reinstalled CS5 I want to use it to edit the same photos from Aperture, as I know more about editing in CS5 than Aperture. I tried to export to CS5 but, Aperture would not give me that option. At least I could not find it.

You can set an external editor in the "Aperture Preferences -> Export " settings.
Just set this to CS5.
The resullt of your external edit will create a new version of your image.

Best way to transfer time machine back up files between external drives

I have to move my time machine backup files from one external drive to another. I was planning to simply move it through finder, but it has been "preparing files" for 2 days straight. The number of items sowing in the status bar with the status of "preparing to copy XYZ items" has continued to stadily grow. Is there a better route or should I let it run till it is complete?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
That's exactly the way to transfer Time Machine backups to an external drive, so let the Finder do its job. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5096
Note that the destination's external drive must be formatted in "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)"

I shoot with a Canon 7D, have Windows 7 installed on my computer, Adobe CS4 (Bridge & Photoshop). I'm trying to open the CR2 files in Bridge to adjust them before I open them up in Photoshop, but it's giving me an error code saying it's the wrong file type. I downloaded the latest updates for Adobe Raw as well as the DNG converter, however I don't want to have to convert to DNG before opening in Bridge. Please let me know what I can do to open the CR2 files directly in Bridge CS4, thank you!

Best way to transfer files from old Macbook Pro to new one?

I just got a new Macbook Pro from Apple...YEEEEAAAHHHH!
So....
What's the best way to transfer files from old Macbook Pro to new one? I know Migration assistant, but is there a recommended way? I don't want to put do a system restore or transfer everything from the old laptop, but I do want to move important things like photos, music, documents and such over. Any suggestions on best way to do this?
Another question, perhaps subquestion. If I have, say, an older version of iPhoto but a newer version of one on my new Macbook Pro, will it still transfer photos no problem?
Just looking for hints from the experts so this puppy is set up in the best way possible.

Just one comment on this:
‘If I have, say, an older version of iPhoto but a newer version of one on my new Macbook Pro, will it still transfer photos no problem?’
the problems are ALWAYS in the reverse way, when you have the newest (or a newer) version of a given app, and wish to transfer its library to an older version.
Otherwise, see the link to Pondini.
I have been using Martin Jahn’s iBackup, with which I have become accustomed and works fine. It also makes daily backups. Its advantage over other apps is that you may add whatever you wish to save, beside its default settings (which you may delete or cancel, of course, even if not recommended); it also has a friendly interface and easily customizable. Of course, this is a personal view, you may try other methods as well, or other backup apps. All are good if you are satisfied and correspond to your needs.
