Help with importing a backup-playlists

I did a full backup onto CD's and told it to backup everything but when I imported the CD's onto the new computer the playlists didn't load!! Do I try importing again?? Where are they? I really don't want to recreate them all again and the old computer has now been wiped clean....
Thanks

When you open the jpeg (pdf), look at it at 100% view to see if everythings there.
Double click on the Zoom Tool in the toolbox for 100% (actual pixels)
I believe the problem is your image is so big in relation to your screensize, that your viewing it at 7.6% view
and the only view in elements that is not interpolated is 100% view.
Do you need such a large document size?

  • HT1751 Help with importing itunes playlists from an older OS?

    I tried the steps here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751 for importing my older playlists from time machine, but got this in response: "The file “iTunes Library.itl” cannot be imported because it does not appear to be a valid exported file." 
    Old OS was 10.5.x, now have Mavericks, think that might have something to do with it.
    Please help?
    Thanks..

    My OS is SunOS 5.8 and the OS that the core file was
    created with is SunOS 5.5.1. The program that created
    the core file was compiled with debug flags on my
    machine and then shipped to the client's machine. I
    have all the source code and the .o files, but I can't
    seem to read the core.If I understand correctly, you're compiling on Solaris 8 and
    then running the resulting executable on a Solaris 2.5.1 system.
    This is not supported. Sometimes you get away with it for a while,
    particularly if you're only going one release backwards, but
    I'd be surprised if it would ever work going that far back.
    To the original point, in addition to your own objects, the 2.5.1
    system's shared libraries are also required for complete debugging.
    That's why it's complaining "Object file is not the same one that was
    linked into executable."

  • Need help with iMac OSX backup

    Hi,
    I currently have a mac book air running osx 10.8.
    And i recently purchased a imac running osx 10.8.
    I need help with the backup feature between my imac and macbook air.
    I work with excel files a lot, using Microsoft office for mac.
    so basically what i want is to have a 2 way backup between my imac and macbok air.
    That is, when i make any changes, create or delete a file in either of the system, i want the other system to make the change automatically.
    For example when i make changes to a spreadsheet (excel file) on my imac, i want the same to be updated automatically on my macbook air, and vice versa.
    I want both the machines to have the same files, updating the files as they get modified. or deleting if its deleted on any one of the system. Like a 2 way sync.
    Kindly let me know if theres any way to do this.  or something similar that can help me, like i mainly require the excel spreadsheets to be updated, system files, other libraries are not important. 
    I can also put all my files in a single folder if thats required.
    Ps. Both the machines are connected on the same network, and i can also hook a external drive for the backup purpose if required.
    I searched google for softwares and couldnt find the appropriate ones.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Let me know if you require any more info on this.
    Thanks
    Gaurav.

  • Can you please help with importing CDs and audio books?

    I tried to search for this topic, but had no luck.
    Have been happy with IPOD until today. On trying to import a new audio book to iTunes and then updating IPOD to install on it, I can see the title in both the iTunes Library and menu of IPOD. However, instead of seeing a normal 57:32 (or similar stop time), I am seeing 789:57:13.152. When I try to play it through iTunes or IPOD, it skips it as if it wasn't there and plays something else. I checked out importing a music CD, and find the same problem.
    Appreciate any advice you can give.

    let's first see if you can get the CDs to import normally if you switch off "error correction" in the iTunes Advanced-Importing preferences subtab.
    but if no joy there, try checking through the other suggestions from the following document:

  • Help with importing PC photo files and then organizing it all in iPhoto

    Hi everyone,
    I'm relatively new to mac but I am just loving my purchase! I need some serious help with getting all of my photos organized though so I can easily find it for editing in iMovie.
    I've accumulated over 10,000 photos stored on my PC which I've since transferred over to my LaCie external drive for my MacBook Pro via a wireless network connecting my PC & Mac. Some of these I've put onto my laptop internal hard drive and those I've imported into the iPhoto library. However, do I need to move the rest of the photos from my LaCie drive into my internal hard drive to import the photos into iPhoto, or can I tell iPhoto to look for the files in the external drive. If so, how do I do that? I know I'll then have to create albums in order to sort them, which I know how to do. Is there any fast way to do it by date? I had it sorted into different file folders by month & year so I could easily find them on my PC and would like to do the same using albums.
    I am quickly running out of hard drive space on my laptop which is why I've put most of my photos on the external drive. Once I organize my existing collection, I would like to be able to import new pictures and have it stored on my external drive, not my internal drive. How do I do that?
    Any other tips on organizing a massive photo library would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Karen

    Karen,
    Is there any fast way to do it by date? I had it sorted into different file folders by month & year so I could easily find them on my PC and would like to do the same using albums.
    This is where you get to enjoy the power of iPhoto's database. You can change the Sort in the View menu. Check out View > Sort Photos > by Date.
    Or, click the little calendar icon near the lower left corner of the iPhoto window. This allows you to filter the library by year, month, week, or date. You can Command-click to add another date to your filter. You can Option-click to choose a recurring date: you get that month or date for all years in your library. [Want to see your kid's birthday for every year? Just Option-Click that date. Cool.]
    The keywords filter is similar. There is a preference setting where you choose to filter based on ALL keywords chosen (where by choosing more keywords you narrow your field) or ANY keyword (where the more keywords you choose, the larger your field will be). Click on a keyword to filter your library by all photos containing that keyword. Use Command-click to add more keywords to the filter. A difference is that Option-click will eliminate photos with that keyword from your filter. [You can find all pictures of your kids with your dog but NOT at Halloween.]
    You can create Smart Albums to combine the use of dates, keywords, ratings, titles, comments and more. The more information you enter into the database, the more powerful the tools become.
    When your task of importing is complete and you are ready to play with iPhoto's features it may help to look at the iPhoto multimedia tutorial. Better organized than trying to read through the Help files, it can help you get acquainted with many of iPhoto's features.
    Have fun.

  • Help with importing files

    Hello everyone,
    FYI
    [I'm running RoboHelp 5.0.2 - Flash Help. We have purchased
    the Bronze help package and the support doesn't know why we are
    having problems. We are using Visual Source Safe on a Windows
    server]
    I work for a small company that is planning to "roll-out" our
    new roboHelp site within a few days. We are having trouble with
    importing our .doc, pdf, and xls files. Here's what happens:
    I have a topic and I go to create a text.
    I highlight the text I want linked
    go to "Insert hyperlink"
    choose "Link to file"
    Browse to my file.
    When I click on Okay it ask if I want it brought inot my
    project. I click yes.
    I then notice that RoboHelp puts it in the baggage files (
    well most of the time it does)
    I save, check everything in.
    When I go to v iew it in Primary layout it saids "file not
    found"
    Help I'm going crazy. My boss thinks I don't know what I'm
    doing. :(
    Thanks,
    mj

    Hi MJ,
    Not sure exactly what the issue is with your help project,
    but I have links to pdf and doc files in my project and they work.
    When I click View Primary Layout, it brings up the output files
    that are generated to a different location than where the working
    files are. Is that how your project is set up? Because when I open
    a file via a link within the output, it calls the file from the
    same directory where the output files live (not from a baggage
    file). Is this what you are doing as well? This process has been
    working for me.
    Regards,
    Fred

  • Issue with Importing and Backups

    I am trying to organize all of my photos using a simple scheme which is the following:
        1) import all photos into a new Aperture library.
        2) using the Aperture Import setting to automatically put a backup of each picture on an external hard drive.
    This way, I can let Aperture manage everything, but I still have a raw copy of all of my original photos and they are not tied to any specific app so I can easily do whatever I want with them in the future.
    If I just do a normal Import (i.e. Command -I) this works great.  However, if I import any other way the files are not copied to my external hard drive.  For example, if I drag a picture or folder onto the Aperture window it will import it but it doesn't make a backup copy.  Or if I choose the Import Folders as Projects it doesn't make a backup copy
    Please help!  Thanks.

    Unfortunately the bricks in the Import window (of which the backup you are referring to is one) only get run when you import through the import window.
    No way around that that I know of. You'll need to setup another backup scheme for the images you import via other methods.

  • Need help with restoring from backup.

    My wife's macbook pro ( 2.53 processor 4 GB Ram) recently had its hard drive call it quits.
    I ran a back up the day prior to taking it to the Apple store, they replaced it with a 500 GB hard drive for very cheap. That I am very grateful for.
    I came home, wife has already logged on/set up the laptop as a new laptop. Apple upgraded the OS while it was in their possession to 10.9.2. The last back up was on Mountain lion 10.8.
    How can I get all the files (iPhoto being hugely important) from the 10.8 backup onto this 10.9 laptop? I can't restore from Time Machine because it isn't the correct OS nor is the same laptop (in its mind due to new hard drive and her setting up as a new laptop.)
    I greatly appreciate the help in advanced, any links or "How to" threads would be wonderful!!!

  • Help with importing photos from camera if some pics were imported earlier

    I am trying to import photos from my digital camera into iphoto and there are some old photos on my camera already. When the prompt screen tells me that there is a repeat photo, I clicked on do not import it for all such photos option. After that the screen tells me that the photos are being imported, but nothing happens. I am very furstrated, is there anything I can do? I have iphoto 6 version. Thanks!

    I believe with iPhoto 6 if you upload the photos to a folder first and then import that folder into iPhoto 6 you will be given the opportunity to exclude duplicates. The import has to be from the Finder and not directly from the camera. You can test that by importing a single photo that is already in the library from the Desktop. If I'm wrong this post will self destruct 10 seconds after and all here will disavow any knowledge of me.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Help with Time Machine Backups not working..

    Let me preface this by saying I have spent the last day scouring the internet for solutions to my problem. I have tried every option that I have run across and have had no luck in resolving my problem. As a last resort, I'm turning here in hopes that you can be of help.
    I have a 2012 Macbook Pro running Moutain Lion.  I use an external HD for my time machine backups.  I am having an issue with Time Machine not functioning.  The initial error message I receive when I attempt to use TM to backup is:  "Time machine couldn't coplete the backup to Rick's backup disk". "Unable to complete backup. an error occurred while creating the backup folder".
    I searched the forums and net and found several things to do to try and resolve this issue.  My computer will freeze out and not let me erase, or re-partition the the hard drive, so I switched it over to an older macbook of my girlfriends and am successfully able to erase, and re-partition the drive (using disk utility) as suggested by several forum postings I have read.  I am able to run disk verify and disk repair and both say the disk is "ok" with no issues.  The moment the erase and partition is done, her computer prompts a message : "Would you like to use this disk for Time Machine Backups" which tells me it is working properly.  When I move it back to my macbook pro and attempt to run TM backup, it will now work and copy about 10g of my 120g before shutting down with this error message:
    "Time Machine couldn't complete the backup to "Rick's Backup Disk".  An error occurred while copying files. The problem may be temporary. If the problem persists, use disk utility to repair your backup disk."
    If i attempt to re-run TM at that point, I get the original error message:
    "Time machine couldn't coplete the backup to Rick's backup disk". "Unable to complete backup. an error occurred while creating the backup folder".
    If I move the TM back to my Girlfriends computer and attempt to run TM, it will function properly and backup her entire harddrive.  When I erase and try again on mine, I always end up back with the same issues.  It's clearly something in my macbook that is screwing it up.  Can anyone please offer some help! I'd be much appreciative.

    "Time Machine couldn't complete the backup to "Rick's Backup Disk".  An error occurred while copying files. The problem may be temporary. If the problem persists, use disk utility to repair your backup disk."
    Not one of Apple's more informative messages. 
    There's a problem with a file on your system.  See #C3 in the above link. It will show you how to locate the message(s) that describe the problem, then help you fix it.    If that doesn't help, post back with details, including all the messages, what you've done, and the results.

  • Need help with importing into iPhoto.

    I have a bit of an annoying problem when it comes to importing pictures into iPhoto (5.0.4). When I plug my camera into my computer, iPhoto launches and presents me with the import pictures option. However, it's not much of an option, as I can only choose to import all my pictures on the camera! More often than not, I only want to import some of the pictures, and rename them as well (instead of just "Image_0001.jpg", "Image_0002.jpg", etc.) To do this, I go through some really annoying steps:
    1.) Plug in camera and start the Picture import app (not iPhoto).
    2.) Choose what pictures I wish to import, and import.
    3.) Start up Automator.
    4.) Tell Automator to get the selected pictures of the ones I have imported, rename them (eg. "Iceland 1", "Iceland 2", etc.), import to iPhoto and finally delete the source pictures.
    5.) Repeat with the other pictures (eg. "Sweden 1", "Sweden 2", etc.).
    Done!
    Now, my question is... is there an easier way? This method I just described is long, annoying and time consuming! So, is there a way to...
    1.) Only import some pictures from my camera (not all), from within iPhoto?
    2.) Is there any way to change the name of the actual file (not just the title of the picture in iPhoto) from within iPhoto?
    3.) Does iPhoto have to copy all my pictures to a specific folder on my hard drive which I can't change?
    4.) (Not relating to iPhoto...) Is there any way of changing the names of a number of files from within the Finder to sequential file names (eg. "File 1", "File 2", "File 3", etc.) without the use of Automator?
    Thanks for any help. It's very much appreciated.

  • Please help with importing and using imovie and idvd

    Hi,
    Please forgive my lack of knowledge. I previously had a mini dv camcorder that was so easy to use with imovie hd. Now that I have switched to an HD Usb 2.0 camcorder that has built in 16gb memory and memory cards, I have had such a great deal of trouble. I really hope you can help and point me in the right directions.
    Importing movies are fine, but they take so long! Currently, when I import a movie, I set the camcorder to PC mode and import through imovie. But the camcorder stays on, and I'm not sure if this is the best way or healthiest for the camcorder. Do you have a better/faster way to import movies? Is there a way to drag the video from the memory onto the computer, and then from there import the movie? I think at least I wouldn't have to leave the camcorder on.
    Also, one major issue I have is that each movie is broken down into 100 or so clips. I coach basketball, and videotape the games. When there is stoppage, I pause the camcorder. I guess that creates so many clips, so that when the film is imported, there are over 100 clips for the entire movie. Is there a way of making that just 1 entire movie/clip?
    Once I have imported the entire movie, which is 100+ clips, I want to simply create a dvd of the game. I know I have to share it, but do you have a better suggestion as to how I should handle this?
    In the past, all I did was import the mini dv movie into imovie HD, share into idvd, and then that was it, dvd made. This process had become so time consuming.
    Please help!

    Yes, I recognized there would be a slight pause between clips - but after all - you paused the camera at those points.
    Putting them all in sequence in iMovie and then encoding in iDVD will take a lot of time.
    An old favorite saying of mine is "not every job worth doing, is worth doing well'. The meaning being sometimes 95% is good enough so you can go on to the next job.
    How much work do you want to put into each DVD? Can you live with the slight pauses?
    would you suggest using a memory card?
    Yes, but 16GB cards aren't cheap (yet).

  • Help with importing DVD for edit

    Hey guys, i need to re-edit a film that i made using final cut pro but i deleted the rough file with all the footage and things in it and exported the final product to a dvd. i know how to import the Video_Ts and audio_ts files back on to my computer and copy the dvd but i dont know how to make that information available to put back in to fc so that i can take out some scenes that im not too happy with so i can send it to colleges. If anyone know how to do this i would be most appreciative. thanks

    One clumsy but effective way to do this is:
    put the dvd disk into your stand alone player.
    hook the video and audio outs from the player to the a/v ins to your camcorder.
    set your camcorder to do Analog/DV conversion.
    connect your camcorder to your computer through firewire
    in fcp set your capture to NON-CONTROLABLE device with a capture limit of the length of the DVD.
    Start capturing in FCP and hit play on the DVD player.
    Hit stop when you have your material.
    For what it's worth - throw the camera that records mpeg2 (aka DVDs) into the nearest large body of water (lake, ocean, whatever) and get something useful. This will be a continual pain.
