HT5096 New TM doesn't recognised backups on the old TM clone - can you help?
Using the helpful advice on this discussion board, I partitioned my new drive, then cloned the existing TimeMachine drive onto the smaller partition and set the larger partition as my new Time Machine drive in TM preferences. I then backed up and it worked fine.
However my problem is that it is not recognising the prior backups in the other partition which I thought it would.
Can I fix this?
If not, and if I wanted to access the older Time machine info, could I just change the TM drive in preferences to the other partition and access it that way?
Thanks
That setup is a mess. If you want an easy access to your old data, just make one volume with all the Time Machine backups, so your Mac will be backed up in the same volume as your old data.
Anyway, you have already done that. You can access to your old Time Machine backup by two ways:
1. Setting up Time Machine to back up on the volume with your old backups, and then, just access to Time Machine app in order to access to the old data.
2. Manually: open Finder, select the volume with your old backups in the Finder sidebar and navigate through your backups until you find the data you want to recover.
Try the first one, and remember to change the Time Machine backup disk after accessing to your old data. If not, your Mac will back up to the volume with the old backups

When I get a new TV show, it adds but deletes the old ones. Can you help?
I added an episode of The Office, and the next day I added another one. The first one had gone to my iPod, but was gone after I added the second show. It was still in my library but not in my iPod. I synced it a few times but it just deleted some more videos. I have them checked in iTunes to add to my iPod, but they don't. I earlier deleted another TV show from my library, would that have anything to do with it? I just figured I'd ask the experts. Thanks

My brand new iMac doesn't appear to have the iDVD application - how can I get it?
How can I get the iDVD application for my new iMac. I want to use iDVD for conveniently making DVDs of iPhoto slide shows and iMovies. I'd be greatful for any help. I've already tried looking through my applications, the App Store, and various Apple help menus in Lion and the Apple Tech Support Web page - so far no luck, but perhaps I'm not seeing things right.
The current Apple thinking is that the entire world has access to fast broadband and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that nothing could be further from the truth has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. That worked for some, but is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple. Also, you can complain bitterly here, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between using iCloud and burning DVDs:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or will come with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD.
However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD. -
when iam undating my iphone 5 from itune to new ios 7 an error come by name of ,,,,9006,,, and aslo doesnt show new ios 7 in software update from mobile, my wifi speed is also high.... can you please help me
I just performed the rebuild. It put a bunch of empty folders into my library that I had deleted in the past. But no where is the one folder that I had made yesterday with my 25 photos. I checked the orginial folder that I took them from and not there. It's odd that it's like they never exisited. So broken hearted. The last photo I had with my husband and I in it with his grandpa before he died is gone. Unless there is a way to get it off a back up on my phone somewhere. All of my photos' are backed up from my PC but nothing since owning this computer. cause this itunes icloud time machine stuff has me confused but will have to get the pictures printed and burned that I do have. That's what I was working on yesterday when this happened. Chose my first 25 I wanted to print and lost them and I"m afraid to touch the others now.

After i edit in photoshop and save back to lightroom, the new pic doesn't save next to the old
it usually saves to the front of my quick collection (annoying) but after I open and close lightroom a few times, it gets lost altogether (inserted somewhere in the middle)
In the Library Module go >View >Sort and check <Filename> and <Ascending> or <Descending> whichever you prefer.

I'm new to this so please forgive me if I'm not using the correct terms. My ITunes version is 11.1.3.8. For years I had an IPod Classic and it worked perfectly with all my music where I wanted it. Unfortunately, it was recently stolen. I bought a used/wiped clean 64GB IPod Touch 4 loaded with iOS 6.1.5. I've tried to load my music twice and both times I'm getting the same odd results While everything is properly associated in ITunes once I load and sync the IPod Touch there are several albums that are not associated with the Artist. I'll explain further. I prefer to sort my ITunes library and IPod by Artist. So when I pull up some (not all) Artists on my IPod Touch some Albums that should be there are missing. I say they are missing, they are there. The total song count on ITunes matches that on the IPod Touch and if I sort by Album name, I can find the album that does not appear when I sort by Artist. The reason I want to fix this issue is I appreciate a wide variety of music and I can envision me looking for an artist and not finding them and not being able to remember the name of the album. The Rolling Stones are easy and I know how many albums they have an how many I have. Smaller groups that may have only one album are more problematic. Unless I randomly come accross the song I might never be able to find it or listen to it. I know lots of people have more music than I do so I'm not bragging, but my library has 414 different artists spread across 1402 albums and I can't always remember what I own. Speaking of owning, I own the physical CDs for the vast majority of my music so I don't think it's a situation of previously ripped music not showing up or not being formatted correctly. Any help would be appreciated.
Hey there jcgoutcher!
I believe your iPod may be set to group albums by album artist, which is a setting that can be turned off in your music settings. I will provide a link below that can help illustrate where to find this setting:
Music settings - iPhone

While the article in the link above is written for the iPhone, the setting will be found in the same place on your iPod touch. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
