How to read old library with new instal

My old G4 finally died. I bought a new G5 iMac, set it up and used back up to reload all my old prferences. Now I check iphoto and it looks like these preferences were not backed up. My library lives on an external drive. These are the files in that folder; AlbumData.xml, Dir.data, iPhoto Selection (folder), iPhoto.db, iPhotoLock.data, Library.iPhoto, Thumb32.data, Thumb64.data, ThumbJPG.data. When I open iphoto it askes if I would like to create a new library of find an old one. When I direct it to my external drive it does not see any of these files as the ones to use to read this library. I have iphoto v 5.0.4. Does anyone know how I can get iphoto to see this old library? You can also email answers to [email protected] Thanks.

Hi KRA,
Take a look at the screenshots. When asked to choose the iPhoto Library, do you choose the iPhoto Library on the external. The iPhoto Library is the file you should choose.
When you launch iPhoto holding down the Option key this is the window you will get.
Create a new library or choose a library to open
Choose to create a new library if that is what you want to do, or choose a library to open by clicking the "choose" button.
If you click the "create library" iPhoto will open with a brand new library for you to import images to. If you click "choose" then you will get this window.
Open library
Navigate to where the library is on your computer and then choose it.

How to use old library with new computer?

Hello,
I keep all my music on an external HD. Recently, my main computer died, so I had to start using another iMac. It's running Tiger and iTunes 6, but I have never used the iTunes before. How do I get this computer to "see" my old iTunes library (on the external)?

You are welcome. One thing that comes to mind is that I believe when you use an external drive to hold your library, it is important that the external is on and mounted when ever you start up iTunes. My understanding is if you start iTunes and the external drive is not available, then iTunes reverts back to the default location on your internal. You then have to reset it back to the external, but I think you also have to re-add everything all over again.
So be sure you always have the external up and ready whenever you open iTunes.

Hi,
For custom forms and reports, you need to open it using Forms/Reports Builder 10g, compile it, and upload it again to the server.
For the CUSTOM_TOPs, make sure it is set in the custom<CONTEXT_NAME>.sh file under $APPL_TOP, and in default.env file on the Applications tier.

How to replace Match library with new library

Been using iTunes as my music manager/player since 2003. Currently have about 5,000 songs which are a mix of selective CD song rips, iTunes purchases and Amazon Mp3 downloads. Lots of missing artwork, incomplete albums, wrong genres, etc. I use iTunes Match to sync across multiple Macs and iOS devices, including 3 Apple TVs. It all works OK, but I recently undertook a major project to re-rip all of my CDs/Box Sets in their entirety – about 20,000 tracks. I performed the new rips on a Mac Mini running Windows 7 in BootCamp using Roxio Creator to get a 'universal' Mp3 (256kbs) format and keep everything separate and apart from my current iTunes/Match libraries. Total library size came out around 80-85GB, saved on an external USB HDD.
Recently had my iMac 1TB HDD replaced under Apple’s recall program and looked at it as an opportunity to totally rebuild my iTunes library from scratch using the new, complete album rips. I’ve loaded the new 80GB library onto the iMac and am currently using TuneUp Media to ‘clean up’ metadata and album artwork on the new library. I've turned off iTunes Match to isolate the iMac during this stage of the process.
When cleanup is complete, I would like to totally replace my current iTunes Match library with the new larger library. I think the songs will sync OK, but I’ve put a lot if effort into cleaning up the album artwork and am afraid that, if I don't take some precautions, iTunes Match will overrule and mess up my new artwork when I activate it.
My plan is to
From the iMac, first copy (or should I export) the entire rebuilt library to an external drive as a backup, hopefully preserving all of the artwork and metadata corrections in the process (true?).
On my MacBook Pro, copy my current Match library to a different external drive to ensure preservation of any unique tracks I may have missed in building the new library. Then delete the entire library – both local and Cloud. I should then have an empty iTunes Match library, correct?
Then, on my iMac, activate iTunes Match and let it upload/match all the new songs/data to create a new Cloud library with all the new albums, descriptors and artwork.
Do I need to individually deactivate Match and delete local libraries on all my other devices also, or does the total Cloud library delete I perform on my MacBook Pro then transfer to all my other registered iOS and OSX devices that have Match activated?

Quick question, Michael
When I copy the iTunes folder to an external drive, does all the iTunes metadata and associated album artwork travel together with the raw music file?

How to integrate old formula with new as needed?

I have a report which displays /processes rows based on the 'Product Family' which we have as a 3 char code.
stringVar first3 ;
first3 := Mid ({REFERRF.RFDTA},1,3);
if isnumeric(first3) then
    Mid ({REFERRF.RFDTA},4,30)
else
    Mid ({REFERRF.RFDTA},1,30)
However, the current report makes it's own grouping which the user wants to keep. he does want the new groups that I can get from that table as well. how do I integrate this formula?
also new ones are custom and need to be separate from retail. so need to process this old way first. then not process these groups again (TRR, TRC etc) when processing by getting from table.
SELECT {Command.PROD_FAMILY}
    CASE "TRR","TRC","TRP":
        "Trophies"
    CASE "PLQ":
        "Plaques"
    CASE "SGL", "TGL":
        "Crystals"
    CASE "MDL":
        "Medals, 2 in."
    CASE "MDM":
        "Medals, Insert"
    CASE "PIN","PNI":
        "Pins"
    CASE "CAC":
        "Acrylics"
    default:
        "UNDEFINED: " & {Command.PROD_FAMILY};
so when my table has "CAC" I need the display heading to read 'ACRYLICS' in my logic i am getting the description from the same table but he doesn't want that for the above, only for any others.
the report looks like this> so u see for CAC they want it displayed as ACRYLICS. If I keep the current logic when i read the table i have to not read for CAC. or do this some other way.

Hi,
The standard behaviour is that new instances of the process will use the most recent version of the process that has been deployed to the database. This allows you to deploy new versions of the processes without impacting on processes which are already in progress.
When the workflow engine determines what activity to run next in the process, the engine checks what the start date of the process instance was, so that it can check what version of the process was active at that time. If you update the start date for each running process, so that it reflects the date that you saved the most recent version of the flow, then the workflow engine will use the latest version instead of the version that it was running.
This is not supported. I would never suggest that you do this in a production environment - it does not make sense to be making frequent changes to the process in a production environment, since there is no supported mechanism for forcing existing flows to use the new definition. The engine is designed specifically to run the same version of the process for the duration of the process instance - what you want to do is to blow this out of the water completely. If you do change this, then all timing that is recorded against the activities becomes useless, and the other impact on the workflow process us something that you would need to consider incredibly carefully before deciding whether you want to take the risk.
HTH,
Matt

How to transfer old library to new computer

How to replace old ipod with new one

I have just got an iPhone 64gb as my 32gb iPod touch is full. How do I transfer the contents from my old iPod to my new iPhone? It should be simple but doesn't seem to be!

Thanks. I think the problem is that the c:drive on my computer is full and so it does not have the capacity to do it. I have a new computer and have managed to copy the downloads on to the new computer but it won't sync the rest of the music because I think the old device is the registered device. If that makes sense!

How to use old TC with new TC for storage only?

Bought a 2TB TC and I still have my older 1 TB. Is their any way to use the older time capsule as a hard drive only and have that TC backed up along with my iMac on the new TC?

Basically the answer to this is NO!!
You can set it up but not the way you are thinking.
The TC is now and forevermore a network drive. You can therefore bridge the TC and plug it into your network. The obvious place being your new TC. You can also turn off the wireless in the old TC.. it is now a network accessible hard disk.
But Time Machine has a huge limitation.. it cannot backup network drives. So your TC cannot be backed up with your iMac to the new TC. Not by Time Machine. You can buy a different backup software.. eg CCC is excellent and use that.
Overall the TC is slower and less reliable than a USB drive plugged straight into your iMac.. especially if the iMac is newer type with USB3 ports.
And the USB drive is local and so it can be backed up by Time Machine. (Must have HFS+ format and be included in the backup).

How to replace old soundtrack with new?

Exporting from Keynote my presentation is a movie.mov and a separate moviesoundtrack.mov - how do I use QT pro to combine the two to run simultaneously (not sequentially)?

Oops. I was intending to reply to a different thread.
But on the subject you can open the new audio track, Select All and then Copy, then move to the video track and use Add to add the sound to the video track.
You should be able to remove an existing track by using Delete Track from the Edit menu.

Transferred my Library to new laptop, but how to associate/sync iPhone with new laptop?

I got a new laptop. The old laptop is still working. I transferred my library using the Home Sharing method and all of my items were moved except my apps. I plugged in my iPhone to the new computer and used "Transfer Purchases from iPhone" option and all of my apps were added to the library. But, now I don't know how to associate the iPhone with the new computer. When I plug in my iPhone to the new computer. It starts to sync. It says steps 1 through 3, spins for 20 seconds and says complete, but nothing was done. I do not get the "this iPhone is associated with another library" message when I plug it in to new computer, perhaps because I've authorized both computers. All I can find in my searches is how to avoid losing all of your data and how to transfer your library, but none has dealt with this exact situation. I am stumped as to how to get iPhone associated with new computer. Can I transfer my backup from the old computer and restore from backup? Other thoughts? Sorry if the answer is somewhere (I'm sure it is), but I have spent two days looking.

Randers4, so I carefully followed the directions (only one that confused me was about adding a fake address/calendar entry, is that for Macs, I'm using a PC?.) I restored it from the backup and everything looked good. I had hope, the final step says to sync it and when I did, I had the exact same problem. It spun, went quickly through only 3 steps (even though there were 7 sync steps with my old laptop) and nothing changed. It clearly didn't sync.
So, I had an idea that I would back up everything by right clicking in the left pane and forcing a back up on the new computer, and then erasing the entire phone and then restoring from the backup I just made to see if that would make a difference. So, after I tried that and it restored, it was weird. All of my settings were there. Some folders were there, my pictures were there, but all of my apps, folders, music and video was missing and it still wouldn't sync. So, then I had to plug it back into my old laptop and do a restore from there to get that stuff back.
Shouldn't I get a message when I plug the iPhone into the new laptop saying this phone is connected to another computer? I tried "Reset Warning Messages" but it doesn't do anything. At this point, I don't care if I lose some of the stuff from my iPhone (texts, etc)...but I want it to sync to the new computer because my old laptop is on its death bed.
So frustrating, all of my iTunes content is on the new computer, the only piece that is missing is getting it to "talk" to the iPhone. Times like this I wish I wasn't a poor teacher and could afford to get a nice Mac laptop.

My computor crashed. All my songs in my itunes library were lost. After I restarted my computor, I started a new library with new itune songs. When I tried to download them on my iphone, itunes wanted to get rid of my old songs on my iphone. What can I do

My computor crashed. I lost my music from my itune library. After I restarted my computor to work again, I started a new itune library with new songs. When I tried to download my new songs to my iphone, itunes said it had to erase all my old songs in order to install the new songs. Is there a way to install new songs without getting rid of my old songs?

That is the way the iphone works.
You need to copy everything from your backup copy of your computer.
