Is this possible without causing problems?

Has anybody had this problem?
Because the hard drive has gone bad, but it still has files I want to transfer and they are picture files so too big to burn to dvd, I want to install a new drive and delete the system files on the old one, then transfer the pic files to the new hard drive. But do systems conflict if they are on both drives? Can this be done?
Some programs don't work on the old drive but the picture files remain accessible.
Thanks...

"But do systems conflict if they are on both drives?"
No.
Presumably you will make a clean installation on the new drive, not clone the system from the dodgy drive.

  • FF 3.6 AND 5 on same Mac, 1 profile - can I uninstall 5 without causing problems running 3.6 or with the profile?

    I upgraded from 3.6.16 to 5, but don't like how 5 handles tabs (auto reloading 'problem loading' tabs when internet connection is reestablished). So I installed 3.6 in a separate folder, e.g. both versions are on this computer. I went back to using 3.6, and let it upgrade to either 3.6.18 or 19 (don't recall which & it's not open right now). I'm having problems with it using too much CPU & Memory, and not sure if that's a difference between 3.6.16 & 3.6.18/19, or if having 5 on the same computer even if closed could be causing the problem.
    Can I uninstall 5 without causing problems with the 3.6 version and the single profile?

    If you haven't tried this, give it a try. It worked for me, hopefully it will work for you. In your version 3 firefox, disable all extensions, I had two plugins (doubletwist and joost, disable those if you have them). Then install firefox 5 by overwriting your version 3 firefox. It should work fine after that. I tried everything before, I gave that a last ditch shot. Oh yeah, before you install firefox 5, clear your cache of everything just to be sure.
    Hopefully that helps.

  • Reduce folders in Windows 7 for pictures without causeing problems with PSE11

    The only way to move files or folders/subfolders without causing problems, that is not creating 'missing files' is to do this from within the Organizer, not the OS (Win/Mac).
    You can create folders and move pictures from the Organizer.
    Note that if you are moving the files of several subfolders into a single one, you run the risk of wanting to move files with the same filename into the same folder ; your OS won't allow that. So the Organizer will rename pictures if needed.
    If you want to do such a big reorganizing task, absolutely do a full backup before. There is no advantage  for such a reorganizing from an Organizer point of view, but if you need it for some reason, it has to be done from within the organizer.

  • Lost Mode and Play Sound are "Pending."  However, iCloud indicates that it connected and backed up to iCloud at a date that is 1 week after it went missing.  How is this possible without locking (Lost Mode Pending an internet connection)

    Hi,
    My wife lost her iPhone two weeks ago while on vacation in London (cell service inoperative in foreign country).  Using Find My iPhone app on my device, I activated Lost Mode and Play Sound.  However, both are listed as "Pending," since it those actions require the phone to connect to the internet (wifi only due to no cellular data coverage.).
    We recently returned home and purchased a new iPhone.
    However, when looking to restore the apps/settings from her old phone using a previous iCloud backup, iCloud indicates that the old phone connected to iCloud and backed up the original phone at a date that is 1 week after it went missing.  How is this possible without locking (Lost Mode Pending an internet connection)?
    If the phone was activated and connected to the internet via a wifi signal, shouldn't it immedately lock, show up on the map, Play Sound, and send me an email that the phone has been found?
    I also read somewhere that if running iOS 7, the iCloud website interface enables you to track previous locations, for instance if the phone moves from wifi hotspot to hotspot.  Is that true?  If so, how do I do that?
    Thank you for your time, and have a great day!
    Sincerely,
    - Matt

    just giving this a wee bump as time is of the essence here and i need advice/ answers quick!
    apologies if i've broke any rules!

  • HT3798 my iPod was originally connect to an old HP. The HP has since died and now I own a Macbook pro. I want to transfer the music from my iPod (originally synced with the HP) to my Macbook Pro. Is this possible without losing the music on my iPod?

    my iPod was originally connect to an old HP. The HP has since died and now I own a Macbook pro. I want to transfer the music from my iPod (originally synced with the HP) to my Macbook Pro. Is this possible without losing the music on my iPod?

    Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time.  It will recognize the iTunes library on the PC as a new library.  If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library.  So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • I would like to copy pictures stored in Events in iPhoto '11 on my iMac to my MacBook Pro which is running iPhoto '09.  Is this possible without losing the organization of the Events?

    I would like to copy pictures stored in Events in iPhoto '11 on my iMac to my MacBook Pro which is running iPhoto '09.  Is this possible without losing the organization of the Events?

    Only way to do it:
    Export each Event to folders in the Finder from the iPhoto 11 machine, copy those folders to the 09 machine. Import them.
    Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.

    I have downloaded Lion onto my MacBook Pro.  My husband and I share a desktop.  Can we download Lion onto the desktop from my Apple ID without causing problems for my husband's Apple ID use?

    Yes. In the future, however, only you will be able to update Lion because it will now require your Apple ID.

    Your carrier has a record of your IMEI number, & you can also get it from the box, if you still have the box. You can also get it from iTunes:

    I have had to compleatly restore my computer and lost my Itunes. I now want to transfer my phone music libry to the computer again is this possible without wiping it?

    So you have all you music on the iPhone, right? and you want to transfer FROM the iPhone TO the computer?
    You can't do that with iTunes as far as i know, but you could probably get by that going through "this computer" or something.. I'm not sure, but technically it should be possible.
    good luck!

  • Idoc to Webservice to Idoc scenario- is this possible without BPM?

    Hi guys
    We have a scenario where we need to send an IDoc to webservice and get the response back into another IDoc.
    Questions:
    1. Is this scenario possible without a BPM? or do we need to use BPM (Sync-Async bridge).
    2. Is there a Async to Sync bridge in BPM?
    3. How do I use this bridge in my scenario and customize it?
    Appreciate your quick response
    Regards
    Satya

    Hi Satya,
    >>1. Is this scenario possible without a BPM? or do we need to use BPM (Sync-Async bridge?
    You need BPM
    2. Is there a Async to Sync bridge in BPM?
    You dont need a "bridge", just take a synchronous send step
    3. How do I use this bridge in my scenario and customize it?
    Map the IDoc to request container and the response container to the second IDoc.
    Your need 4 container, receive step, transformation, send step (synchronous), transformation, send step (asyncronous)

  • I have 3 toolbar folders in my bookmarks library, can I delete the two I don't use without causing problems?

    I recognize the two "unwanted" folders but have no idea how they got in the library. In the past year I have had two major computer crashes. The last one required a complete reformatting of my formerly partitioned hard drive. I think the file restores from my offsite back-up service somehow created the duplicate folders.

    What is the title of the other bookmark folder that can not be deleted?
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.

  • I have 1 iMac, two users (myself and my wife), 2 different Apple ID's, and I want to buy Pages from the App Store so we both can use. Is this possible without having to buy it twice?

    I am wanting to purchase the Pages app from the App Store. I do not want to purchase it 2 times, once for me, and again for my wife. We both share the same iMac, and we both use seperate Apple ID's. Is there a way to purchase it under my user, and have it download to her user as well? I have searched all over the forums for a cut and dry answer to this, to no avail. Any help in the matter would be appreciated, as I am a newbie on the Mac.

    No. You need to buy it for your Apple ID and for the other. You will have problems with updates

  • Is this possible without PBR - Routing from Specific Host to Any

    Hi,
    I have an issue where I don't currently have PBR options on my core switch. Now I know I can amend the SDM template and enable the routing one then reboot (I'm also runing ipservices). At the moment though this is not an option.
    I have a host - 10.44.129.34 /24 which is a VM.
    Current Gateway is 10.44.129.1 which is SVI on our Core.
    On the Core I'm looking to say -  anything from this specific host going to any remote network - use gateway 10.44.157.6. Is there a way for me to achieve this without PBR?
    I cannot amend the IP of the host IP either due to licensing issues with the software I can;t think of a way to do this without PBR.

    You can identify the traffic with an extended access list. But I can not think of anything you could do with that to achieve your objective other than PBR.

  • IPad Screen Recorder, will it take Apple modifying iOS to make this possible without jailbreaking?

    Is there something in IOS that makes it impossible to create a Display / Screen Recorder, without jailbreaking?
    I see more and more apps that have built-in screen recording capabilities into their applications. Mostly in Educational Apps and a few drawing apps:
    ExplainEverything, ShowMe, ScreenChomp, and Brushes to name a few. However there are no Apps that can create a screencast of you working on your iPad without jailbreaking. Initially I thought it was the lack of mutlitasking but that was mostly taken care of with the iPad 2. Yet there are still no Apps that can perform screen recordings of the iPad.
    Apple before every developer attempts to create this within their own Apps some well and some badly, wouldn't it make sense to have an Apple developed or Apple / TechSmith partnership to create an iPad Screen Recording capability in the iPad 1, iPad 2 and all future iPads.
    It is a post PC world and I shouldn't have to connect my iPad to my MacBook or PC just to capture my iPad screen (Not just an Image, but real-time screen recording). Even an external piece of hardware small, inexpensivew with either an SD card or SSD Drive for storage that plugs into the iPads and iPhones would be better than nothing. A software App that runs on the iPad is the ideal. So before this type of Universal App can be created, is there something that Apple needs to do or provide hooks for to make this happen.

    There's no way I could find to change the message page. Try the App Store I'm sure you'll find something you like better.

  • I brought a 6  and want to exchange for a 6, the phone is new is this possible without charge?

    At christmas time I brought myself a 6+, I have now decided that it is possible it is too big for my personal use. The phone still has its box and headphones, but the charger has been used. Would it possible for me to return the phone and exchange the phone for a 6 without charge or would there be a charge ? there is no cosmetic damage as the phone has had a case on since purchase and screen protector?

    Hello,
    You have 14 calendar days to return an item from the date
    you received it from the Post (if ordered online)
    you physically bought the iPhone
    Since you bought it at Christmas, it's too late! Even if the box was never opened or anything.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    James
