Help! I lost half my movies

Hello, I upgraded my Power PC G5 tower 1.6 mghz to a new '11 Mac mini.
During transfer, only about 80 out of 140 movies actually transfered to the new computer. I went to the old computer to see what was missing. The movies on the old computer now have exclamation points(!). It says the files cannot be found. I then pushed the "locate" button, but no luck.
Is there someway that I can find these movies on time machine? The external drive I used on the old computer is now working on the new computer.
If there is any way of recovering these movies, would anyone know how to recover them from Time Machine?
Thank you for any help.

The ! Means that the path to the file has been lost. You can re- associate which seems to be a bit of a pain at this point if the movis did not get moved to the new Mac.
You can search your HD for the movies files and add them back into iTunes. The default location should be - HD>Users>Your Account>Music>iTunes Music>Movies.
It is possible that the movies did transfer but you will need to re-associate the path. iTunes is a data base manager so if things get 'moved' iTunes can loose the path.
Or as noted re-d/l the movies that are eligible.

Type move itunes library into the google serach bar.
It has always been very basic to always maintain abackup copy of your computer. Do you not have a backup copy?

IPhoto just froze so I Force Quit the iPhoto app and now I have lost half my (hundreds) of photos. How do I restore them?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Computer Froze, lost half of songs..or did i?

Ok so heres my problem. My ipod was connected to my computer, not syncing, just charging when my computer froze for 5 seconds or so. When it came back, i discovered that I lost half of my songs (i had around 900 now i only have 400).
So i naturally thought okay, i guess i just lost them, time to reload them. But heres the thing. At the main itunes menu when my ipod is connected, it has that little bar showing how much each media (audio,video,pics etc.) is taking up space.
Mine use to be pretty much all covered in blue (music) but now its split in half. it is half blue and half orange ( i assume thats the stuff i lost but it wasnt really "lost".
None of it is showing up on my ipod so i cant reload the songs because almost all of my memory is taken up by my remaining songs and this mysterious "other (orange)".
So before I completly reload my ipod, is there anyway i can retrieve my songs? I know its there because its still taking up memory in my ipod.
i have an ipod nano 4th gen 8gb that i've been using for 3 months.
thanks for any advice! id really appriciate help

Sounds like the iPod data base has a corruption so it will probably need to be restored, see how to restore the iPod to factory settings which will erase the iPods contents and reclaim the used space.
As for retrieving the songs before you do this, there are various programs that can transfer music from iPod to computer but they all require that the music is readable on the iPod. In your case, if the data base is corrupted this may not be the case.
Yamipod is one such program (and this program also has a repair tool for the iPod also which may be of help).

After upgrading to Apeture I lost half the photos. And can no longer download from my digital Camera. What can I do?

After upgrading to Apeture I lost half my photos from iPhoto. And find it difficut to transfer images
from digital camers. Do you have a solution? Can I download direct to hard drive and skip Aperture?

Since iPhoto and Aperture use the same library format now, do you see your missing photos when you open the same library in iPhoto again? Did you upgrade both Aperture and iPhoto? Have you checked to see if you've entered any text into the various search fields in Aperture? Have you checked for any hidden search filters?
As for transferring digital photos, when you say it's difficult, do you mean that the process is complicated, or that there seem to be actual problems transferring the images?

Use the Organizer backup & restore method, starting the restore from the TLY file. Probably best to use a custom location as the XP file structure will be different. See this link for further help:

You did import these important photos over to an alternative storage medium, just like you would with any digital camera, right?

How do I cut an image in half and move the halves independently?

How do I cut an image in half, and move the halves independently?

Use the rectangular marquee tool to select half the image, then Layer>New Layer via cut. You can turn on the rulers and set a guide so you'll know the boundaries you want if you need it to be exactly half.
If you want to also be able to move the other half, before you start double click the background layer in the layers panel to turn it to a regular layer.

Help with lost Droid MAXX. Lost it a week ago while I had it turned off, I cannot track it until it is turned on. Is there anyway to remotely turn on the device?

Help with lost Droid MAXX. Lost it a week ago while I had it turned off, I cannot track it until it is turned on. Is there anyway to remotely turn on the device?

Have you tried randomly using Google - Device Manager? Though it will not track the Droid Maxx when it's turned off. It will show the last time the phone was turned on. To see if that coincides with the last time you had the phone on.

Help! Lost Installation CD for PD1030.

Help! Lost Installation CD for Creative WebcamPro PD1030. Can someone help me to get a replacement CD ? Thanks

Unfortunately, there is no one ‘Silver Bullet’ answer for this issue. Many things can contribute to the problem.
Try Resetting Your iPod while it's connected to the computer.
Hold down the Menu and Select buttons until you see the Apple logo (or Menu & Play/Pause in older models).
This will often get it recognized. It may take several attempts.
Other USB connected peripherals may be the cause as well. Try removing all connected USB items and attaching the iPod. If you have a USB keyboard, it may be worth a try using the adapter to convert it to non-USB. If the iPod connects, continue plugging things back in until you have the problem return. You may have then isolated the issue. Sometimes it could be a printer, camera, Flash Card reader, or other attached device causing a conflict.
If your iPod shows up in Explorer under 'my computer' try changing the drive letter: Click on Start=>Control Panel=>Admin Tools=>Computer Management=>Disk Management. Right-Click on the iPod and select “change drive letter”. Choose something further along in the alphabet that is unused. Usually, “M”, “N”, “O”, or something similar.
If that doesn't work, Put Your iPod into Disk Mode then plug it in and you should be able to Restore the iPod
Also try this (and the other suggestions above) from any other USB port you may have on the PC. Sometimes switching USB ports can make all the difference.

You should be able to change the product name in Google Cloud. The ChromeBook uses Google Cloud to print (Google Cloud uses HP ePrint). Log into your google account and change the printer name there.
