I can't restore catalogue lr 3 to lr3 from xp to win 7.

i've changed permissions in win7 and it still says non writable file and won't install the file.?? but before i changed permissions on external for lr 3 .lcrat i had changed permissions on c: and g drives on pc. oops! i didn't understand the instructions to well! so i have clicked change catalogue in win7 and that's when i get the error message. should i be clicking that button or should i click New catalgoue? any help would be greatly appreciated before i check myself into a psych ward.
thanks.

Apple only supports updating to a higher version - if you want to risk trying to downgrade then you will need to look elsewhere.

  • How can I restore all of my synced data from Firefox 4 (Win) to Firefox 5 (Mac)

    Because of a computer problem, I can no longer access the data on my previous installation of Firefox 4 on a windows computer. I've recently started using a new mac computer, and I can't seem to restore the data using Firefox sync. I'm certain that sync was enabled on the previous installation as I've had it syncing with my mobile phone. How can I fix this issue?

    Does this thread help? [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/824163 I want to restore my information on a computer that was recently reformatted | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help].

  • HT4191 Can I restore my NOTES mailbox to MAIL from a Time Machine backup?

    I am new to the world of discussion so please bear with me.  In trying to resolve a syncing problem between the iMac and iPad, I seem to have somehow deleted all the Notes we had stored.  Can I restore from a Time Machine backup?

    In theory - yes. The backup should restore all of the iPad settings - including mail settings.
    If you backup the iPad with regularity, you do not need to resort to Time Machine. The backups should still be on your Mac.
    iTunes: About iOS backups
    iOS: How to backup (and restore from a backup)
    A very quick rundown on how to restore from a backup. But read the articles above.
    Turn off auto sync first. Launch itunes and go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices. Check the box at the bottom - Prevent iPods, iPhones .... you will see what I mean. Click OK . Quit iTunes.
    Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes.
    Right Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Select - Restore from backup
    Then sync with iTunes.

  • Can I restore previous version of an app from iTunes backup?

    I updated an app via wifi and don't like the new version (too many ads).
    I deleted it from my iPod Touch.
    Can I restore the old version of the app from iTunes?
    In iTunes I try to drag the app from the apps folder to my iPod but it springs back.

    Try:
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.
    However, sometimes a previous version is not available.

  • Can I restore a backup of an iphone5 from different carrier?

    Started off with an iPhone5 on Sprint - long story short it got returned due to numerous data issues and I wasn't going to wait past my 14 day return to see if it gets better.  I'm in the process of switching over to Verizon (as soon as they get more iP5's), but I'm curious if I can safely restore my backup from the Sprint phone to the Verizon phone without 'crossing the streams' and somehow pushing down the Sprint config.
    Just looking to build some confidence that I will NOT screw something up royally with this approach.
    Thx!

    Yes. The carrier you use doesn't matter.

  • Can I restore information that I accidentally deleted from the iPad Air calendar

    Can I restore to my iPad Air calendar that I accidentally deleted

    Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup
    Once you tap that it will tell you when the last backup was made.
    That said, to restore from a backup, would require you delete everything on your iPad, then restore from the backup.  For a few calendar entries, it might just be easier to try to reenter the calendar entries.

  • How can I restore an app and its data from an old ipad to a new ipad without restoring from backup?

    When I purachsed and iPad 2 to replace my old iPad I did not want to restore it from backup for obvious reasons.  However, there are apps that have data stored in them that I have lost the data for, what can I do to get the app and data back on the new iPad without losing the data that was already in the app?

    The reasons may be obvious to you, but it makes no sense to me. I would think that you would want all of the content that you had transfered onto your new iPad.
    However, there are apps that have data stored in them that I have lost the data for, what can I do to get the app and data back on the new iPad without losing the data that was already in the app?
    If you lost the data in the apps, you can't get it back unless you restore from a backup - assuming that the backup DID have that data in the apps..
    The only way that you can get the apps PLUS the app data onto the new iPad is to restore the new iPad from a backup of the original iPad and sync the apps back onto the new iPad if necessary.

  • Can't restore to my new Touch 5G from 3G backup

    So I have a 3g touch backed up today. Running 5.1 or whatevert the most current I can run on it is.
    Got my new 5G touch and keep trying to restore onto it but not working.
    I plugin the new 5G and it asks me to restore, goes through the process and says to leave it connected to the mac and it will appear in itunes after it restarts.
    However it never appears in itunes and never restarts. Just shuts down and stays that way.
    If I unplug it and plug it back in and or hold the button down and force it to restart enough times, it will eventually bootup. Seems to have some of my settings, email settings Icloud settings etc. But none of my apps are there never restored any of my data really jsut some settings.
    When I connect it to itunes again it acts like its a new ipod and wont let me sync apps or data just asks me if I want to restore again.
    If I restore again it just repeats this process.
    Imac - 2.16 Ghz core 2
    3 Gig ram
    10.7.4
    Itunes 10.7 (21)

    All my stuff is in my library as normal. The issue is that after the restore the ipod doesn't reboot and then show up in itunes and sync my stuff.
    It restores, says it will reboot but never does. I have to unplug it and reboot a bunch of times by hand to get it to start again. Eventually it boots up and has my settings but none of my data. I plug it into the mac agian and it just starts over as if its a new ipod and asks if I want to restore.
    At no point does it attempt to sync my data.
    Just got done applying 10.7.5 we'll see if that helps at all. Doubtful at this point.

  • Can I restore a single photo/photo folder from Time Machine/Time Capsule

    Hi
    So I'm usuing Time Machine to back up my MacBook to Airport Time Capsule.
    If I somehow lost a couple of photos and its taken a few months to realise, can I retrieve just these photos/photo folder or do I need to restore my whole photo library going back to a past date - and then how can I be sure which date to restore back to - is there anyway of actually viewing the photos for a certain date before restoring?
    And if the only way is to restore the whole library, what happens to any new photos that were added to the library between present day and the date I would be restoring back too?
    Would it be better to move my photos from the app Iphoto to a documents folder for future use?  This is assuming that in a documents folder you can view and just retrieve a single document...  Havent tried it yet but that was my understanding...
    Hope this makes sense
    Many thanks in advance

    Learn from Pondini, who knew more about Time Machine than anyone.
    http://pondini.org/TM/15.html
    See the green box for links for iPhoto instructions according to the version that you might have.
    Would it be better to move my photos from the app Iphoto to a documents folder for future use?
    No. Even if you did this, you would not be able to retrieve individual photos since iPhoto is a special type of package file.

    You need to contact Apple Customer Service about purchasing replacement discs for the computer. You have posted in the PPC forum, so I assume you do not have an Intel Mac, but since you haven't stated what you have we simply don't know enough to assist you.

  • How can I restore my purchased games and music from a external hdd backup?

    Hi!
    I have formatted my iPod and reinstalled Windows. Before doing that, I have made a copy of my entire iTunes folder on a external hard drive. Now I cannot restore my games by simply copying (my thought) "iPod Games Library.itl" file and "iPod Games" folder into the new iTunes folder under my Music. With the music I didn't trid because I dont't have much space right now.
    In my purchase history I see I cannot re-download stuff.. Only "report a problem"/"done".
    I know that a better option for backup would have been a CD backup from iTunes, but now I cannot go back in time to do it.
    So, could you help me, please?

    I would try opening itunes using a blank library and try this - just drag one game (one with the ipg file extension) into v8 and see if it shows up under applications.
    Don't sync your ipod to it, though - you'll probably lose all game info/stats by doing this. This is just a test to see if itunes can see the file as an ipod game.
