I ahve a new computer with windows 8.1 and need to transfer data from lightroom 4 on my old computer

How do I do the transfer to a new computer with a new version of lightroom? I tried to use windows easy transfer to transfer all data and found that it did not work to transfer from vista to windows 8.1. It apparently worked in windows 8, but not 8.1. Any experience? I do have the catalog backup that I can put on an external hard drive and the two computers are on a network.

    c) unistalled and reinstalled iTunes
    Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

  • HT1349 I just purchased  new PC with windows 8.1 and downloaded Itunes, but when I try to add my Music Library from the back up dvd's I created off my old computer it doesn't automatically start the back up process like it did before. How can I "restore"

    I just purchased a new PC with windows 8.1 and downloaded new itunes, but when I try to "restore" my music library from the DVDS i made from my old pc it doesn't automatically restore my library as it used to.  How do I restore my music library from DVDS?

    Thanks but I already did read all of the help notes, which aren't very helpful for this.  I did find out the problem- Apple.....they evidently changed one of the major upsides to their old software- being able to back up your entire library onto dvd's- so you can longer do that or restore from the dvds created from older versions of itunes.  I suspect greed is at play in that Apple now wants you to pay $24.95 per year to use a "cloud" service where they back it up for you.  I can buy a lifetime supply of back up dvds for one year's worth of cloud.  So I am now looking into other music software as I am Appled-out.  There is no reason for them to take away the back up portion of the software other than to sell you thrir cloud service.  As we have already given them a ton of money for 5 Ipods and a bunch of music, I think we have contributed enough.  Time to look to solutions outside of the Apple money tree.  But thank you for reading and replying.

  • I had an early version of photoshop (2.0 I think) that worked perfect on windows vista. I bought a new laptop with windows 8.1 and the photoshop won't install. Which version of Photoshop compatible with Windows 8.1 is closest to the older photoshop?

    I think you mean Photoshop CS2.  Photoshop 2 is from around 1992.  The old Adobe activation servers were taken down. CS2 is about a decade old Adobe made a new download for old customers that legal customers can download and install. Download Acrobat 7 and CS2 products

  • HT201328 Can I unlock an old, unused iPhone 3GS (to be used overseas with a local simcard) and upload on it data from a newer iPhone 4 on the same MacBook Pro?

    Can I unlock an old, unused iPhone 3GS (to be used overseas with a local simcard) and upload on it data from a newer iPhone 4 on the same MacBook Pro?

    I got approval to unlock my 3GS from AT&T and in the process of updating the operating system. I am now using a iPhone 4 on my computer. I just want to know the following:
    When I backup and restore the 3GS in order to unlock it, will it mess up my existing data backed up from my iPhone 4?
    Can I upload data from my newer iPhone 4 onto my 3GS?

  • Bought a new 4s and need to transfer photos from iCloud to new device. iCloud is giving me an old @me address. I do not have the email or pw  for the iCloud account. How do I retrieve this information? Thanks.

    If you need to change the iCloud ID on your new phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • How do I transfer data from my Ipad4 to my computer

    I just purchased a lighting to usb cable so I could transfer data from my ipad to my computer.  All I can seem to get is the photos on my ipad.  I would like to transfer emails and other applications so I can have it on my main computer.  How do I do that?

    You can use the cable that you use for charging your iPad to connect it to your computer's USB port, you didn't need a second cable.
    If you want to copy your iTunes downloads (apps, music, films, ibooks etc) to that computer then connect it to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. As well as copying actual ibooks downloaded from iTunes that will also copy epubs and PDFs that are in the iBooks app on your iPad (assuming that you have iBooks on your iPad) - they will copy over to the Books part of your computer's iTunes library (if you are using a Mac with OS X Mavericks on it then you can copy them to the iBooks app on your Mac via ,in the iBooks app, File > Move Books From iTunes).
    If you haven't synced your iPad to that computer before you may also find this page useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
    For emails, are they not stored on your email provider's servers ?

  • I need to transfer data from my old iphone to my new iphone and I cannot turn off Find my iphone

    I need to transfer data from my old iphone to my new iphone and I cannot turn off Find my iphone as my icloud password is incorrect.  I have reset this several times and also cleared cookies history etc.  none of the above makes a difference.  Any ideas?

    The ONLY thing you can do to turn off Find My iPhone is to have the correct password. There is no way around it. You can get help with the password: If you forgot your Apple ID password
    If none of those methods are possible: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security

  • I have a Mac with 10.5.8 installed, trying to transfer data from it to new machine, can't do it.until i upgrade to higher system?

    I have an older Imac with 10.5.8 installed, (I have been told this is the highest version this machine will accept) I just purchased a new Imac and am trying to transfer data from one the old one to the new one, Migration assistant says I can't do it until I install a higher operating system??????????. How do i transfer data if I can't upgrade???

    You will need an external USB drive at least the same size as the one in your old computer.
    Make a clone of your old computer's hard drive:
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
      1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
      2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
      3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
           it to the Destination entry field.
      5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
          the Source entry field.
      6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the old computer's startup drive.
    Connect the drive to your new computer. You can transfer what you want using Migration Assistant. Just select the option for migrating from an external drive.

  • I have purchased a new computer with Windows 8.1 and the old computer had Windows Vista  and was very slow.   I need to uninstall Adobe Creative Suite 3 and put it on the new computer.  Is this possible and what do I need to do?

    I have purchased an new computer with the Windows 8.1 OS.  The old computer had Windows Vista and is just about to quit working altogether.  I wish to uninstall it on that computer and deactivate it; so that I may install the software that I purchased (some years ago, but hardly used) on my new computer.  Is that allowed and do I have the right idea about doing it?  I have the serial number
    and all that with the software.

  • Just bought new PC with windows 8.1 and installed the 64bit tunes as instructed by the new PC. Only a small part of my music library is now showing but  can see all the files in the itunes folder on an eternal hard drive linked to my old XP pc.

    Problem - changed PC to one with Windows 8.1 ( previous from 2006 with Windos XP). Previously all ITunes stuff on an external harddrive as 80 gigs of music too much for the old PC
    When attached Harddrive to new PC was told needed to install the new 64 bit iTunes as 32 bit iTunes not compatable.
    Did so but only a very small portion of my music is showning -  though rest of Library is still on the external drive in the folder.
    Help please
    Thanks

    Again many thanks. I have tried to tidy up the folders as per your idiot guide- which term is appropriate for me
    Under iTunes Media though I do not have  folders for Books,iPod Games, Mobile Applications, Movies, TV Shows so I only have  Auto Add to iTunes, Music, Downloads and Podcasts - My question here is is this OK.
    Next - Library files that you mention are there but do not end .itdb
    Next  - in the main iTunes folder followingon from Artwork and Media folders  there is some other  iTunes database stuff like Library Extras, Library Genius, Library and Music Library(xml) all dated 10/02/12 plus MimiPlayer .dll dated 21/02/14 and Set Up Short Cut dated22/03/14  
    AND there is also a Programme Files folder with a sub folder holding file folders called CD Configuration,iTunes Resources, iTunes Help Resources, iTunes Mini Player Resources and Mozilla Plugins all dated 24/03/14 ( when I downloaded the new iTunes) and then a lot of application extension stuff from 2011
    To recap I unistalled the old 32 bit iTunes and installed the new 11.1.5 (64 bit) version over the weekend  SO is any of the old stuff listed above required.
    Outcome right now is that as previously I can only call up the Downloaded music not Podcats or CD copies.
