I need to go back to the future

I have an issue that is complicated, or at least seems complicated to me. I will try to be succint and hopefully someone can help me out.
My brother bought a new Macbook and handed me down his old one. Before giving me the old one, he copied all of his files to an external drive. But, it seems that he copied just the documents and not the iPhoto files because he was not able to renew his old albums etc.
The good news is that I have his old Macbook with all of the files intact including the iPhoto Library.
It seems that the next time I visit him I should just bring a copy of the Library over on my external drive and combine it with the new one he has been building over the past months.
I am anticipating some complication because I imagine that he placed the old photos--stripped of their iPhoto data--into the new iPhoto on his new Machine. So I want to merge this old iPhoto library with the one he has now but if I do I imagine there will be some duplicates...
In other words the pictures contained in this (old) iPhoto Library are probably already in a seperate iPhoto library on the new computer. They just wouldnt be in albums or anything..

1 - there is no way to merge iPhtoo libraries without either Aperture or the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -
2 - i suggest you take the old MB with you and on his new MB rename the iPhoto library and then transfer the old iPhoto Library to his machine - Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) or use an external hard drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.
3 - he can switch between them by launching iPhoto while depressing the option key and using the select library command
4 - or purchase iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - or Aperture and merge them if he wants them merged

I wrongly changed my settings to the American store and now when I try to download updates for the apps my ipad 2 tells me I need to switch back to the Canadian store, how do I do that. Resident of Canada

I wrongly changed the settings on the apps page to the American store. Now I cannot download any updates because I am locked out and need to revert back to the Canadian store, how do I do that

Try going to the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on your iPad and tap on your account id, tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account, and then select the Country/Region section and select Canada.

I recently traveled in Egypt with my iPad. Iam back in the US, but I wanted to download an app, and I get a message that I cannot download from the Australian store, and I need to switch back to the USA how do I do this?

I recently visited Egypt with my iPad. I am now back in the USA. I tried to download a new app, and I got a message that I could not download from the Australian store. I was told I need to switch back to the USA store. I did not deliberately switch to the Australian store. Why doesn't the iPad automatically switch back to the USA.

Change App Store
1. Tap "Settings"
2. Tap "iTunes & App Stores"
3. Tap on your Apple ID
4.Tap "View Apple ID"
5. Enter your user name and password.
6. Tap "Country/Region."
7. Tap "Change Country/Region"
8. Select the country/region where you are located.
9. Tap "Done".

I really need to go back to the save I made a day ago, my time machine is not set up and files haven't been automatically uploading to cc is there anyway I can go back a day in saves?

Hi, I just had an issue with a photoshop document, my mac book temporarily crashed the screen glitches and deleted some vital layers I had constructed (took half a day) I thought I could correct it and saved it a few times in a panic and now i really need to go back to the save I made a day ago, my time machine is not set up and I just realised my files haven't been automatically uploading to cc is there anyway I can go back a day in saves?

So you don't have anything like Shadow Protect running in the background?
Video editing software only needs to save the steps taken to achieve the edit, and references the actual video files from the hard drive. So the saved files are only tiny, and it takes very little drive space to auto save to incrementing file names. Obviously, Photoshop files can be huge by comparison, so the only way to save with a different file name is to do it manually.
I think most regular posters to this forum make a point of updating the file name of a large project every hour or so, and as a direct response to reading so many horror stories like your own. The worst story I remember was from a poster whose computer had crashed half way through saving a large PSD file. After several response, questions and answers, it turned out he was using a laptop with a failing battery. He told us that he could see the battery was getting low, but left it and left it before finally hitting Ctrl s and running off to find the laptop's power lead. When he got back the laptop had run out of power and shut down, and his PSD file was lost forever. He may have been a prime candidate to a computing Darwin Award, but his stupidity still did the rest of us a service so we could learn from his mistake.
Ouch.
My digital audio workstation works on the same principle; it creates a backup save just in case things go wrong (which--knock on wood--hasn't happened to me) and only references audio/MIDI files that are related to the project.
My advice is to always, always back up sensitive documents. There are lots of ways of doing this, from manually to automatically. (e.g., A lot of higher-end routers let you connect external storage via USB so you can run backup software that detects any changes to a monitored folder over a network and then backs up any changed/updated documents to the connected storage. I prefer to do it myself manually, though.)

I keep getting a MSG that my device has not been backed up. Going thru manage iCloud I see ther are two backs (one for cell and iPad). They both say "incomplete ". If I delete them cloud backups will stop and I assume I will need to go back to the control.
Has anyone else experienced this?

After deleting the backups, go back to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and make sure iCloud Backup is set to On (if not, turn it on).

After upgrading 3.6.7, in "google image search" all the results appears in one page, I just need to go back to the previous way of search : page after page.......??

After upgrading 3.6.7, in "google image search" all the results appears in one page, I just need to go back to the previous way of search : page after page.......??
where can I adjust this option ?? I tried in IE, the search way is normal as in past..
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

I believe this to be a browser issue, not a google search results issue, and here is why:
having updated Firefox only yesterday, I visited google images searching for pancakes.... interestingly, I have the NEW image results (yuck) on Firefox 3.6.8, I have the OLD image results on IE8 and Opera 10.53.
When I use the 'switch to basic version' in Firefox 3.6.8, indeed it DOES revert to the new format next time I image search (in Firefox).
For those of us who prefer the OLD image results page, I guess we will just have to switch browsers for google image search.
Now I'm off to research how to get rid of the UGLY FFox sidebar.

Back to the Future III - digital copy not working

Any ideas on what to do when a digital copy fails?
Got the 25th Anniversary BluRay pack of all of the Back to the Future films. Contains a digital copy disc for each.
The first two worked fine. The digital copy for BTTF3 did not.
Has anyone else encountered this? If so, how did you remedy it?
Thanks -

apple wanted a processor family that included versions with reasonable speed and low power consumption to use in laptops etc.
it probably didn't hurt that the choice they made also makes it easier to support traditional wintel software on macs
itanium is aimed at servers where power consumption is less of an issue
if the numbers here are correct then itanium has not been a great success, certainly not one for apple to bet the company on...

V9 don't work with 1password I need to go back to the last version 8.1

I updated to v 9.0 now my 1password don't link up I need to go back to the last version how do I ???

The latest version of 1password extension for Firefox is compatible with Firefox 9.0. They may have set the max version incorrectlt at 12.0 when the max allowed at moment is 12.0a1 and one needs to reinstall the latest 1password extension.

Back to the Future Time Machine model for Had drive enclsoure, Time Machine

This is a random thought, and I seriously want to do this, but if you are as big of a *Back to the Future* fan as I am you might take some interest in this topic. I've looked all across the internet and have yet to be able to find a *Back to the Future DeLorean external hard drive, or hard drive enclosure to accompany the Time Machine application in leopard*.
Now, I'm currently trying to find the best way possible to do this...probably going to find a model kit and build it around a hard drive enclosure. I'll have to customize the hard drive light to make the time circuits (The blue bars that illuminate before the DeLorean goes back to or from the future, but it will be worth it.
Has anyone else thought of this idea, or am I just that big of a geek? However, if anyone has seen or built such a device, please let me know cause I'd LOVE to see one in action.

Will there also be a TARDIS model? A Wells model? Even a Peabody WABAC model?
And of course what would we do without the original John Titor unit?

How can I get back to the future?

I have a 15" MacBook Pro running 10.6.8. Last night I upgraded to Lion and honest to goodness I'd rather have a Windows PC. I have only to programs for which I use a computer -- Adobe PhotoShop CS2 and Bible software,for both of which I paid near $600 -- neither of which are supported in Lion. Is it possible to get back to 10.6.8 without loosing everything on my hard drive? Thank you kindly.

As far as I know, Apple mail itself is not directly compatible between 10.7 and 10.6.   This gives you a couple options. You could:
1. Buy an external hard drive, partition it for room, install 10.6 onto it, and install Photoshop, your Bible program, and use 10.7 for everything else on your internal, and a second partition act as an exact clone of your internal.     You will probably need to contact Adobe to register your external hard drive as the registration code for its Photoshop. Partitioning is described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61301
Cloning is described on my FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
Lastly, I'd make a second clone of the first to ensure you don't lose data in the future, and manage both clones.
2. More complicated would be to export your applications to all 10.6 compatible formats. Mail would have to be copied to an IMAP account.    Addressbook exported to vCard. iTunes and Office are thankfully already compatible. Once that is all setup, you would clone your machine twice. Next you'd erase and install 10.6.   You'd then copy your Users -> yourname -> Music folder from the backup, and the Users -> yourname -> Documents folder on your backup to your 10.6 Users -> yourname folder, and copy the supporting preferences of Photoshop, and your bible program to the relevant folders.   Lastly you'd open Photoshop and work with Adobe on reregistering your Photoshop to your 10.6 machine.   In the future always keep at least two clones of your data before installing any updates, and read the tips on upgrading like those on my FAQ*:

Flash no longer works for me since installing Firefox 3.6.19. I am running Mac OS 10.4 on a PowerPC, which is not supported by the latest Flash version. Do I need to go back to the previous version of Firefox?

If I do need to go back a version, any suggestions or links on doing this w/o losing any bookmarks or settings? Complete uninstall/reinstall? I've not had to do this kind of thing before. Thanks!

You might try using the add-on 'NoSquint' which allows numerous zoom options specific to each page you visit & keeps your settings - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint/
If you want to go back to 3.6x, you will find it here:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
In most cases you can simply "upgrade" (meaning downgrade) directly from the installation. It would be a good idea to save your passwords & bookmarks just to be on the safe side.

HT201304 i need to go back to the spanish App Store

for some reason im in an App Store that doesnt allow me to buy things, i need to go back to my App Store, im in spain please explain how. tx

If the app store thinks that you are in another country then try going to the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on your iPad and tap on your account id, tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account, and then select the Country/Region section and select Spain.

Release 4 is not compatible with Trend Micro Virus Software. I need to go back to the former release. How do I do that?

Need instructions for de-installing release 4. Or, do I need to completely remove Mozilla and start over?

1. First Uninstall Firefox 4.0 Using the Add and Remove Programs function found in control panel. Make sure not to delete your personal settings while uninstalling.
2. Download Firefox 3.6 from this page by [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html clicking here].
3. Install Firefox 3.6 and you will be back to the old version.
* Please note Firefox 3.6 will only be supported until at least the middle of 2011.

Nikon Df/Back to the future?

Hey,
Having spent an entire summer weeding strawberry plants to purchase my first SLR (a Pentax ME Super), the new Nikon Df sure does take me back to the days of film. I remember how many years I drooled over the Nikon F3, and after all those years have passed I finally have an opportunity to have that F3 in a digital package; to bad I switched to Canon equipment. Maybe Canon will come out with the new F-1?
Any thoughts on this new Nikon DSLR?
