  • Upgraded ops and hard drive and lost all my folders in thunderbird. How do I retrieve them?

    I was using windows xp and my computer was hacked so I had to get a new hard drive and I also upgraded to windows 7. After installing thunderbird I noticed that all of my folders were missing. I had folders specifically for emails from my bank, certain cites that included my passwords for those accounts, utility payment records and on and on. Now I can't even find where to make a personal folder for all of my new e-mails that I need to keep. I really want to retrieve my old folders and incorporate them into my thunderbird that I currently have downloaded on this new system.

    Your folders are on your old hard drive is my guess.Did you copy any of your data over when you got the new drive?

  • I lost my hard drive and lost all my iTunes purchases, well now it keeps saying my computer is not authorized to make purchases. Help I'd like to get all my past purchases back and I want to know why I cannot make purchases now. I have money in my account

    I cannot make purchases, as well as it says my computer is not authorized to make purchases

    Open iTunes, select Authorize this computer from the Store menu.
    You may be able to recover from your iPod Touch with a third-party utility such as Phone to PC.

  • I had a new hard drive and lost all my website info

    HI
    I have just had a new HD as my computer just had a spaz attack. I thought I had everything backed up but I am not sure if I have done my iWeb properly as I can't get the info. i have all my website published to a folder and I thought that this was how to keep it sfae but now on my new HD I open iweb and I don't know how to put it all back, if at all possible. It must all be somewhere and I have published to Mac. PPlease help me before I start redoing it.

    Yes, it does. But if that folder to which you published is still available, then some of the resources (such as images and text-images) can be dragged & dropped to your second-attempt iWeb site.
    Meanwhile, consider regularly backing up via the free "SuperDuper!". It can create a bootable clone from which you can temporarily boot after which you can try to fix your internal HD via Disk Utility. Plus you can recover individual files (such as iWeb's Domain) from that bootable clone.

  • Help.......I moved my LR5 catalog to a new hard drive and lost my COLLECTIONS

    I moved my LR5 catalog to a new hard drive and lost my COLLECTIONS.  In the collections i get the messageI then locate the file in the new drive :
    i locate the file and receive this message
    How can i get the Collection to redirect to the new location??   I have about  a LOT of missing pics in Collections. 
    Thank you!  Jamie

    Thank your for responding.......
    To clarify....I moved LIGHTROOM to a new hard drive....including 1) Working catalogs, 2) Working exports, and 3) Working Originals.  I now know i did not follow correct procedure for "moving a catalog".  I dragged  it to the new hard drive. Yikes!!
    (I was at Imaging last week and spoke to Julianne Kost, she recommended that i use the FIND link....but this gave me the same result as i am speaking about above.)
    To Clarify......The Collections are listed. The target path to the images did not change when i moved to the new hard drive.
    There is an exclamation point in the right hand corner of the images in each collection.  When i click on the exclamation mark i get the message....."“JK_120214_7782.NEF” could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"  I then locate the file IN THE NEW current DRIVE...at which time i click on it and i receive the message.....
    this file is associated with another photo in the catalog.... each file can only be associated with one photo.  Then if i choose to show in library....it points to the image in the FOLDER  tab...which is in fact where the image is located. 
    Up to this point, when i need one of these older collections i have had to recreate.  i have manually gone to the original.....in the FOLDER tab, found the image and added to the Collections again.  Then i go back and delete all the files with the ! ......a long and tedious task.  I was hoping there was an easier way to recreate my "collections".
    Initially i was going to just MOVE the entire library again ( the correct way) ....which i should've done i believe.  Now i have imported more jobs and have created additional collections , so i'd love to find a short cut!
    I hope this is a bit more clear!!
    Thank you.

  • I purchased elements 9 for iMac as a paid download 10/23/2012, recently I had to replace my hard drive and lost the program. I had read that purchased downloads were available for three years but the link  with my past order information is no longer click

    I purchased elements 9 for iMac as a paid download 10/23/2015, recently I had to replace my computer's hard drive and lost elements. I had read that downloaded purchases would be available for 3 years but, when I click onto the serial number of that order it isn't active. By clicking onto the link it should take me to the site where I can re download the elements 9 but, it doesn't do anything.  Unfortunately calling Adobe did not help, they will not address any elements questions over the phone, there's a recording directing all elements questions to this forum.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.       Diana

  • Can I partition a hard drive and keep files on separate partition?

    That is, can I partition a hard drive and have the system software on one drive, and everything else on the other? That is, have the system software on one drive, and on the other have pictures, music, documents, and all other files other than the system software? Thanks. David

    Hi GK1951, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Great question, as a matter of fact it does... or would, but the Devil is in the Details as they say.
    IME, OSX works best with 100+GB free disk space, so if that partition scheme cuts that down then you'll lose speed, but ony a few would notice the diff until you get down to 30 GB free space.
    I can't say much, but my VM at the moment is 143.55 GB, I've been told that isn't a real number, but hey, it means something!
    But there are so many factors affecting this that really, the only rule that seems to hold is Give OSX as much HD Free Space as you can & it'll be happy.
    I imagine on the MacPro you could say use the outer Partition of several Disks... one for the OS, one for VM, one for APPs, etc. and gain the most!
    Maybe these will help...
    iMac/24"/2.4 GHz/4GB RAM/320 GB SATA drive, You can see that Cached values account for more than the Zone on the HD really.
    Little 4K Random R&Ws suffer greatly no matter what...

  • HT1473 I recently had to replace my hard drive and lost my iTunes library. Now I cannot transfer the library from my iPod to iTunes on the new hard drive (same computer). How can I complete the transfer?

    I recently had to replace my hard drive and lost my iTunes library.  When I try to transfer the content from my iPod to iTunes on the new hard drive (same computer), it would only let me transfer iTunes store purchases. How can I complete the transfer of all the content on the iPod back onto the computer?

  • Hi. My iMac hard drive is running Mavericks.  I have an old version of Quark Xpress (3.32) which won't run in Mavericks.  Can I partition my hard drive and run an older system on one partition, so I can access my Quark?  Is that possible?

    Hi. My iMac hard drive is running Mavericks.  I have an old version of Quark Xpress (3.32) which won't run in Mavericks.  Can I partition my hard drive and run an older system on one partition, so I can access my Quark?  Is that possible?

    Hi ancelau,
    QuarkXPress 3 is a Classic Mac OS application, so you need a version of OS X that still supports Classic. I believe 10.4 was the last one.
    So if you have an iMac that boots with 10.4, then yes that is possible. I doubt though that newer Macs boot with OS X 10.4.
    So why don't you upgrade QuarkXPress 3 to a newer version? I am not just asking that because I want you to spend money with us.
    Typically using software that was released almost 20 years ago is just feasible when you keep an environment that was current at the time of release or a few years after, so an older Mac with a operating system present at that time. 20 years in IT is a lot.
    So my opinion is that on a new Mac with a brand new operating system you need to use something a bit more current.
    How about QuarkXPress 9 (released 3 years ago) or QuarkXPress 10? You are better off with v9, as QuarkXPress 10 only opens v7 and higher (whereas QuarkXPress 9 opens v3.1 and higher).
    Or - I am even happy to make an exception - upgrade to 9 and we give you 10 for free? Let me know please.
    Thanks

  • I replaced my hard drive and lost iPhoto. Is there a way to retrieve?  I can not find the starter discs that came with my Macbook Pro.

    I replaced my hard drive and lost iPhoto. Is there a way to retrieve?  I can not find the starter discs that came with my Macbook Pro.

    Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. You can purchase replacement discs from Apple.
    Or, you can upgrade to Lion or Mountain Lion:
    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
    If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
    A. Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
         For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
    B. Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

    I have to reformat my hard drive and reinstall all of my programs. What do I do about Creative Cloud? I also still need access to CS6 (I have a Marksware converter for InDesign to Quark).
    This is a MacBook Pro 15" (Model number A1286) running Mavericks. Hard drive is fine but system software has been corrupted. I cannot simply restore from Time Machine as it will copy the corrupt system.
    Will I have to find all of my serial numbers before I can launch any of the programs?
    Thanks

    For the Cloud, you log in to your paid Cloud account and download & install the same way you did the first time
    Cloud Getting Started https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/topics/getting-started.html
    If you have the perpetual license version of CS6 you install from your original media and use your serial number
    If you have the version of CS6 that is installed via the cloud use this link

  • I erased everything on my iphone and lost all my contacts pictures and everything how do i get all that back from my itunes account??

    I erased everything on my iphone and lost all my contacts pictures and everything else how do i get the contacts and pictures back from my itunes account?? ive tried restore its like it gave me a whole new iphone thing.

    If you plug in the iPhone to your computer, any contacts ect that you synced with your computer with sync back with the iPhone when it is selected in the iTunes menu under info. Anything that was added without syncing was lost, I'm sorry. A good future solution is to get iOS 5 when it comes out this fall, so you don't need to manually sync contacts, its automatic!
    Best Regards
