Importing back-up pix from cd to old database containing no pix

When my hard drive crashed a while back, I managed to recover my iphoto database with all the placeholders and tags, but unfortunately did not understand the proper way to back-up the database and lost all of my photos. Thankfully, I had most of them loaded on my Shutterfly site and now have them on a CD purchased from Shutterfly. Is there a way to import these photos from the CD so they 'connect' again with my old database with all the tags, etc. already in place?
Please say yes!

Afraid not. You'll need to create a new Library and start over.

Anyone know why TV shows are not importing back into iTunes from my backup file?

My whole library was backed up on an external hard drive. Something happened to my library on iTouch and everything was gone except for most recent purchases. Also had new computer so downloaded iTunes again and went to import from my backup files. Music imported but most movies, music videos, and all TV shows did not. Also tried dragging files from backup folder to iTunes to copy but still did not work. Anyone know how to fix this??

iTunes: What are the iTunes library files?
If your backup/restore includes the library files then information that isn't stored in tags, such as playlists & playlist membership, ratings, play counts etc. is preserved. Video Kind (Movie/TV Show/Music Video) is a property that isn't always stored in the tag. If you had restored the whole library (database files & media) then there would have been no need to import anything as you would have restored the database complete with all its information about your media.
See this User tip for a recommended backup strategy.

Cannot Import Back into LR4 from PS

I've been working on my macbook pro for years now exporting files from LR into PS, doing my edits, then saving and having the file automatically import back into LR.
I just upgraded to an iMac and have everything set up, but, now, when I do the EXACT same process, I recieve the error "Could not save as "IMG_1445.tif" because write access was not granted." when trying to save my file in Photoshop.
I have never had this problem before...Any help would be greatly appreciated! It seems pointless to have a workflow that doesn't work!!!
If it has anything to do with it...I also get an error before exporting from LR: "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw Plug-in version 7.4 for full compatibility"
I checked my software and it is up to date. Why would I receive this error when exporting?
Thanks for any insight!!!

Thanks for the tip. I actually figured it out by luck. Turns out that for some reason my external drive was showing as "read only" on the iMac even though it has has full permissions on the MacBook. So, I went to the Seagate support page and downloaded their Mac DNG file for the drive. Works perfectly now!
Thanks for the response, I appreciate the support!

How do you import media and metadata from Windows Photo Gallery database?

How do you import videos and photos and their metadata from a Windows Photo Gallery database into the Elements Organizer, especially metadata that is only contained in the Photo Gallery database file (pictures.pd6) and not embedded in the video and photo media files themselves?
And when you import the metadata into Organizer, do you get all of these available elements?

Also, if the media files in Organizer are ever moved to another PC, is there a way to migrate all of the Organizer's metadata with the files to use with another instance of Premiere Elements?

OK. I think we're getting close to the answer.
The reason I'm asking about this is because for Photo Gallery, media files can NEVER be moved without losing all database metadata. I'm sorry I didn't know this when I started with Photo Gallery and I think I've learned an important lesson: Be sure you can move your work BEFORE you start.
So, to clarify Organizer's behavior, let me ask the question another way. Let's say that in a few years, after I've added tags, people, places, etc. to hundreds of media files in Organizer, I decide to get a new PC. When I move all that stuff to my new petabyte drive on the new PC, do we know if Premiere Elements Organizer on the new PC would be able to read the original Organizer's metadata?

Importing multiple jpeg files from local folder into database LOB column

I have to programatically save multiple pictures (jpeg) from the folder on my PC into Oracle table LOB column. I have to be able to choose local folder on my PC where are the pictures, and press button on Oracle Forms to save pictures in LOB column in database.
I'm using Forms 6i and Oracle 10g Rel2 database.
Is this possible with Oracle Forms or the only way to do that is to use create directory database command and use dbms_lob package which I shouldn't do, because Oracle database directory is not allowed to see my local folder.

As I said I don't know how to use object data type, I just given a shot as below. I know the following code has errors can you please correct it for me.

I would like to access an old Time machine back up from a Core 2 Duo Macbook, but no longer have a Mac. Can I access the backup from a cheaper old ibook, or would I need a Macbook. Is the OS important?

I would like to access an old Time machine back up from a Core 2 Duo Macbook, but no longer have a Mac. I am going to buy a used machien to acess this. Can I access the backup from a cheaper old ibook, or would I need a Macbook. Is the OS important?

right click on the folder that shows with the red negative sign, and select to "get info". In the long skinny window that appears, look in the "sharing and permissions" section. In the "name" column, you should see your current user name. Ensure the "privilege" is set to Read and Write. If your user name is not in the name column, click the + sign, and add it, ensuring the privileges are set to Read and Write

LR5.7 on Mac 10.7.5. I was importing DNG and JPG from an SD card. After import, several of the DNGs showed old photos which I imported months ago, but the JPG's were correct.

Using LR5.7 on Mac 10.7.5. I was importing DNG and JPG from an SD card. After importing, a few of the DNG images were old photos I had imported months ago, but the matching JPG's were correct new imports. The metadata was correct for the new imports. I tried a new SD card and it happened again. ???

it appears the actual image is probably in place, but the *preview* is incorrect. clicking on the image to zoom in causes (the normal) "Loading...", followed by a zoomed in view of the *correct* image. zooming back out gives the normal view of the correct image. (*very* good to know!)

Please see the bold. If you're out of icloud storage, then you won't be able to backup to icloud unless you purchase more storage, but yet you said you backup to icloud.
If you really did backup to icloud no data would be loss - sounds to me that it didn't backup since you had no more free icloud storage space.

How do I get iTunes to recognize a new device if I accidentally did not hit new device when I first hooked it up? I hit the button that said I wanted to back it up from my old info

How do I get iTunes to recognize a new device if I accidentally did not hit new device when I first hooked it up? I hit the button that said I wanted to back it up from my old phone. The new phone is my husbands and I don't want to back up my phone info on it. I re connected it hoping it would prompt me with the option again and it doesn't , it just shows up as a back up to my phone. How can I get it to give me that option in the beginning again

First of all, I think the first time you sync an iPod that's formatted for Windows on a Mac, the sync process reformats it for Mac. You can check what it is now by looking for the iPod with Disk Utility. If it's Mac OS Extended, it's formatted for Mac already.
Also, there is no current iPod updater app these days. iTunes handles it through the Restore button. If you are not able to use the latest iTunes because of your Mac, I can understand. The latest version of iTunes should run with 10.3.9 or later, if the hardware can handle it.
You said the battery was low so let it recharge for a while.
You should also reset the iPod. It's part of the 5Rs, which you should go through as the starting point for iPod trouble-shooting.

Can some please provide instructions on how to import an iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Mac without getting a bunch of duplicates? I tried transferring my pictures using an external hard drive and then copying it to the Pictures folder on my Mac

Can someone please provide instructions on how to import an iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Mac without getting a bunch of duplicates? I tried transferring my pictures using an external hard drive and then copying it to the Pictures folder on my new Mac. I ended up getting a bunch of duplicates. My old Mac has an older version of iPhoto while the new Mac has iPhoto '11. Is that the cause of the problem? Please advise. Thanks.

Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

How do I import my video files from old iPhoto - in time machine - to new iPhoto? Photoes came across, video said incompatible.

how do I import my video files from old iPhoto - in time machine - to new iPhoto? Photoes came across, video said incompatible.
i have moved from a mac pro to a mac mini,
Mini now has mavericks and latest iLife stuff, I clicked import, was all good, then at end, no videos came across.
Is Mavericks,/iPhoto having a compatibiltiy issue with some video formats....???
Your help is appreciated gang.: )

Please describe exactly what you did. In moving to a new machine no importing is involved. The best way is to simply connect the two computers together and drag the iPhoto library from the old one to the pictures folder go the new one and launch iPhoto
