HT201250 My current tax program doesn't see last years after I installed new drive

The year before software is on time machine but I had to install a new hard drive and the existing program doesn't see it,high light when searching, how do I get or import my taxes from previous years.

A little more info would help.
"The year before software is on Time Machine."
Do you mean last year's TurboTax app is in a TM backup?
When you installed the new hard drive did you restore the previous drive's contents from the TM backup? Including applications?
"How do I get or import my taxes from previous years."
What is it specifically you need to import?
If you restored completely to the new drive from Time Machine, everything should be there.
I am still confused on your specific problem.

TM doesn't see its backup after migrating to new iMac and restoring system.

TM doesn't see its backup even though it still exists on the HD. I just migrated to a new iMac. After using OS X disc to 'Restore System From Backup' with TM backup it was showing the latest backup attempt had failed. The same disk was highlighted under TM Preferences too. But once I reset it TM began to make a new backup under a new folder/computer name (adding a number to the end). Is there a way to make TM see the existing BU and continue on?

I'll try to recall to the best of my memory what I did... It's been stressful, frustrating, trying to deal with it.
Computers:
1) iMac6,1 (Late 2006) Intel 2.16 GHz Nvidia OS X 10.5.6
2) iMac8,1 (Early 2008) Intel 2.8 GHz ATI OS X 10.5.4
Perform final backup of iMac #1 with TM and SuperDuper!
Shut down and disconnect.
Hook up iMac #2 and power up.
After OS X intro select 'Transfer from another Mac' with Set Up Assistant (note: this was from the SD! backup).
Everything was selected for transfer; Users, Apps, Network,..etc. (I assumed it would update OS X too).
Transfer complete.
Restart.
Log in.*
* I have both Admin and User account. I noticed things weren't performance was off; log in was slow (Menu Bar items took longer to display, clock too), and generally overall apps,..etc seemed slow. Apps were asking for license and reg info too.
Second attempt (restore system from TM backup):
Startup from OS X 10.5.6 disc.
Erase HD with DU.
Select 'Restore System from Backup'.
Select TM backup.
After that completed, restart computer.
And that brings us to now. Well, sort of.
So what is the proper way to migrate as it were from between two different Intel iMac's? I have to assume I transfered over system files that caused a conflict with the new iMac's HW, correct? What can I do now? I've already performed new backups of both SD! and TM. I didn't think it mattered since either way the backups come from my old system. I'm guessing I should have updated OS X first on the new iMac and only selected User files, Apps, Network settings,.. etc., for transfer, or maybe installed apps fresh. I thought I was doing it correctly.
The new iMac still seems off with performance to me. I've tried performing multiple 'Repair Disk Permissions' too. There are about 32 differing permissions but DU doesn't seem able to repair them as they come up again and again. Here are some examples;

My final attempt to straighten this out is to install from OS X disc fresh (erase/install). Transfer only User files, Network settings, anything pertinent to my Users (email, browser, keychain,..),... and nothing else. Reinstall 3rd-Party Apps. I had to do this before after updating from Tiger to Leopard because it didn't take well.
Any help/insight appreciated.

Apple Software Update doesn't see connected HP printer. Need new driver

I recently installed OS X 10.7 Lion on my MBP, from Mountain Lion. I am working at a remote location and for a while and want to connect to a nearby HP LJ1320 (USB-only) printer. When I connected it, System Preferences detected it, listed the desired driver as "LJ 1320 series" and started a "Finding software" routine. It stopped and said software not found. When I went to support area of HP site, the offered no direct download link for 10.6-8, but instead steered me to ASU (Apple Software Update) as my driver solution. When I run ASU, I don't get any listing for updated printer drivers, HP or otherwise. I'm lost in an endless do-loop here that leads nowhere. Should I be looking at some open-source driver instead?

Typically that requires a special patch, but those are only provided to certain printers. I know what's keeping you from being able to install though. The database on your Mac that tells it what is and isn't compatible is out of date. What you will need to do is:
Disconnect the printer from the Mac.
Run Apple Software Updates.
Restart the Mac.
Once the Mac is back on, connect the printer to it, and add the printer's queue to the list.
That should be all that needs to be done. Let me know what happens.

Itunes doesn't see my apple tv on my new pc

I downloaded itunes and installed it on my new pc but itunes doesn't see my apple tv on my network. Any help. Thanks.

HELP! Doesn't see wi-fi after an insertion 4.1

Forgive for my English!
Has stitched the iphone 3g, with an insertion 3.1.x on an insertion 4.1, iTunes 10, has ceased to work WI-FI, at all doesn't see networks, to an insertion worked!
Became periodically will be switched off!!!!!!!! I will repeat to an insertion iPhone 3g worked perfectly!!!!
How to return an insertion 3.1. Х?
In what there can be a reason?
How I can correct it?
I start to trust hearings which go on the Internet that it is made specially that would buy iPhone 4g

If no change after resetting network settings on your iPhone at Settings > General > Reset and selecting Reset Network Settings which will erase all wi-fi networks from your iPhone that your iPhone has previously connected with and will require re-joining each wi-fi network you have access to, try restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup.
If no change after these steps, your iPhone has a hardware problem likely with the wireless card.

Rescue and Recovery 4.3 on Win7 doesn't see a backup on external USB hard drive - Model W510

I've run the Rescue and Recovery utility within Windows 7 on two different external USB hard drives thinking that maybe it was a usb drive issue. When I open the R And R utility in expert mode I can see that both backups exist on their respective drives. I planned on updating my hard drive so I made a full hd backup and the R&R startup disc to boot the laptop from. The bios recognizes either external hard drive at boot with no problems. It shows the names and "+" sign next to drives. So I booted the drive at startup off the DVD drive with the R&R startup disc after I was sure that the bios recognized either external drives. Then when I choose a "Full" restore is of course asks me if I want to use hd, cd/dvd, or external usb drive which I choose the later. It then should show me the backup that I created earlier just as it did when I ran the utility from the Win7 environment so I can choose it to restore from. But I get a blank box showing no backups when I run the 4.3 R&R Startup disc. Again if I boot to Win7 and go into the R&R utility I can see the backup on the exact same USB external drive. Then boot off the CD startup recovery disc and it shows NO BACKUP! Help please! I want to shelf my old hard drive "as is" and create the Restore onto the new hard drive but the utility isn't working for me.
Thanks for any help.

Hmmm,
Seems like that _should_ work. Here's a way you might be able to finesse it: go to the advanced R&R menu in Win 7 and create rescue media on your USB drive. It's essentially the same process as creating the CD - it makes the USB drive bootable and puts a copy of R&R there.
There _should_ be an option to "preserve existing data" but be prepared to lose your existing backup and make it again.
Then just boot the external USB drive and see if R&R recognizes a backup image on the same drive from which you booted.
That's the way I usually migrate to new drives. Maybe it will get around your mysterious problem.

I cannot see last year's appointments in ical on iPad

I needed to access last year's (2012) appointments in order to make my annual report. I could see them on my iMac, but not on the iPad even though when I got the iPad I successfully transferred all those from iCloud. How can I get those old appointments on all my devices (including iPad)?
Did I tick a box I should not have ticked?
Thanks!

I has try to uninstal(type Logic in Finder and drag all Logic`s folders to trash and delete them)Logic and instal it again
But there is the same thing every time
Maby my Uninstal is not "full" uninstal?
Please help! - I dont want to format my HDD

If it's a PPC plug-in, native intel apps won't see it. I'd suggest removing it from your components.

If iPhone 6+ doesn't see WiFi network after iOS 8.3 upgrade, restart router and iPhone

PROBLEM: After upgrading my iPhone 6+ to iOS 8.3, the iPhone initially would not "see" the presence of my Apple Airport WiFi network.
This was bizarre because the credentials were saved on the iPhone, the WiFi network had been continuously up, my Mac Air remained continuously logged in to the Airport WiFi, and the iPhone was able to see other WiFi networks I didn't wish to connect to such as xfinity's and the neighbor's. Just not mine.
Manually entering the network name and password had no effect.
SOLUTION: Restart the Airport WiFi router. Then restart the iPhone 6+. Now the iPhone 6+ sees and connects to the WiFi network automatically as usual.
Hope this helps some folks!

I Apologize for the long overdue reply. If your using a pc with your iPhone it is a common problem i noticed since i had iPhone 3GS, although it can occasionally happen with mac but you if backed the phone with the issue will get the same issue you had since it will be in the backup it backups software on phone as well you see.

AppleTV2 doesn't see entire library after adding second user - sameID

My wife and I have separate logins on our iMac, but use a shared library for iTunes for storage space reasons. Unfortunately, that introduces subtle differences over time since Apple doesn't really sync between the two logins. For example, she has country music active in her iTunes, I don't. We recently got two AppleTVs and did home sharing. With one of our iTunes doing the share it worked fine to the AppleTV. Once we tried to share both versions of the library to the AppleTV, though, it started missing things. My podcasts don't show up now, and there is a mixture of music now. It is the same on both AppleTVs, so it appears to be something on the Mac itself that needs updating.
I've tried rebooting the systems, enabling and disabling home sharing on all systems, and so on.
What file does the Apple TV use to look at the iTunes Library, and how can it be forced to update it.

Make sure the computer is authorized in iTunes for each login account.

Incredimail doesn't open anymore - directly after firefox install

after the installation of the 4 beta 7 version my incredimail doesn't open anymore. I see the icon in the system tray, i can download mail headers etc, but the main screen doesn't open anymore.

Try a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 14.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

Can't see my pictures after installation on new PC.

As a student in 2011 I worked with PhotoShop CS5. Now I have finished the studies, bought a new PC och have had help (of an it-expert, but not used to this program) to install the same program. Problem is that I cannot see my pictures at all! When I try Bridge- the same. What I see is only the symbols of the desk.
What am I to do? Reinstall and try again? But: what happens with my two licenses? Gone with the wind? Cannot afford to buy a new one. I am not technical at all, that's a problem. So please, try to explain this very simple!
Hopefully
Frustrated ex-student

As far as license management goes, you can deactivate the license yourself on a given machine by choosing Help - Deactivate... If the machine is no longer available, you can call Adobe customer support, explain your situation, and they'll help you reconcile their online database to match the systems you actually have in use.
Regarding your "can't see the images" issue... C.Pfaffenbichler is right, more information would be helpful. Don't assume you have to uninstall/reinstall just yet. You may have something basic, like a problem with your image file extensions or a cache that needs clearing.

Couldn't see the effect after create the new desktop

Hi freind:
I created a new desktop (copied from the default ), make invisible all parts including Masthead Tool Area Top-Level Navigation and everything and modify the rule, but as the log on again, nothing chaged, I can just see the default desktop,
but as I delete the new desktop created, there is a system error says that "you cann't log on successfully" just because the desktop I created missing,
I am confused with this, if the new desktop works , why I cann't see the effecdt, but if it doesn't , why there is a system error,
can you please give me hint ?
thank you very much

Hi,
I think it would be impossible for you to restore back the changes if you make everything invisible. So make sure you will be able to restore back the changes.
The default framework page is cachable. Try to clear the cache using system administartion -->Navigation -->Navigation cache.
If this didnt work try to restart the server.
What is your requirement?
