  • I need to move 1000 photos from one library to another. How do I do that and keep the ratings and dates they were created?

    I need to move 1000 photos from one library to another. How do I do that and keep the ratings and dates they were created? I tried exporting them, but it loses all info. Also, how do I move the quicktime movies from one iphoto library to another? They were exported as jpgs

    Add both libraries to iPhoto Library Manager.  Then select the events or albums that you want to copy from library A  and drag them to library B in iPLM.

  • I went to Mac Store and had replaced hard drive because I encountered 4HDD ERROR(hard drive failure). I had backed up my old hard drive by TIME MACHINE regularly. Now how can I restore everything I had?

    I went to Mac Store and had replaced hard drive because I encountered 4HDD ERROR(hard drive failure). I had backed up my old hard drive by TIME MACHINE regularly. Now how can I restore everything I had?

    Thanks for your response.
    I had tried COMMAND+ALT+R which led me to directly to INTERNET RECOVERY via wifi. After 1 hour or so it dropped me at the same point.
    I've tried MIGRANT ASSISTANCE as well, it kept on LOOKING FOR OTHER COMPUTERS even though I clicked on TIME MACHINE BACK UP USING EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE
    so what to do now?
    P.S. Guys at MacStore were so careless to even listen to me when I asked them about retrieving back up :(
    Please help

  • How do I keep the time and date stamp of my photo when exporting from iphoto

    Hi,
    I notice the time and date stamp changed when I exported the photos from iPhoto 11 to a external HDD.
    When I looked at the information about the exported photos on my external HDD the time and date changed to the time and date of when I exported the photos form iPhoto instead of keeping the time and date information of when the photo was taken as it appears in iPhoto.
    I thought the time and date stamp is in the meta data of the photo file and can't be changed, am I correct?
    Thanks,

    Kyzelios,
    How can view the meta data from "finder" or do I need a 3rd party app?
    "Get info" function only gives me the creation date which is the export date and time.

  • Copy the SQL Binaries and Data to another drive and then change the drive letter to previous drive letter

    Hi All,
    We have SQL Server 2012 SP1 installed on E drive (which means SQL Binaries, Database and LOGs) are in the same drive E, we are not able to backup the SQL Server because according to Backup Vendor their is a problem with the DISK E which is why the backup
    is not successful, We have added one more drive with the same space, we have stopped SQL Server services and copy each and every thing from E drive to new drive and changed the current E Drive to K and changed the new drive to E, after that when we tried to
    start SQL Service but it was not starting, we have again reverted back the original drive to E and service was successfully started, please note here that SQL server service logon is NT service / local service. Please help us that how to do achieve this as
    we are using the same E drive and OS should not know any thing. Please help us to copy and then change the drive letter to E so that we can delete the old drive.
    Thanks

    We have stopped SQL Server services and copy each and every thing from E drive to new drive and changed the current E Drive to K and changed the new drive to E, after that when we tried to start SQL Service but it was not starting,
    You should not have done this. Even if you install complete SQL Server on Separate dedicated drive few binaries would always go on system drive that is C drive so your idea of moving files to other drive would sure create a problem. As a fact you cannot
    move SQL Server complete installation from one drive to other apart from uninstalling and reinstalling again.
    Copy it back an hope fully you would be able to restart. Why should you take a product which allows you to change sql server drive its a bad product. I guess backup engineer does not how to configure backup agent

  • TS3274 ipad is locked but it keeps repeating time and date?

    Hi,
    My ipad air is locked but the voice says the time and date and camera infor. when touched?

    Thanks King_P, but I tried all that last night but no avail.
    Each time I press the 'Restore ipad' button, it comes up with the message to say my ipad software is up to date and itunes will check for an update the next day.
    Then it comes up with the message, itunes could not connect to the ipad 'ipad' because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the ipad before it can be used with itunes. (This is like a catch 22 situation whereby I cannot perform this action until I restore, but it will not allow me to restore....arrrrrrgh)
    Also, After pressing the Restore button, it comes up with the message 'The ipad software update server could not be contacted. Make sure your network connection is active.' But there is nothing wrong with my connection.
    Also it comes up with another error message, 'itunes could not connect to this iphone (even though it is an ipad). An unknown error occured (OxE8000084).
    Other messages are 'We could not complete your itunes stores request, An unknown errror occured (Ox80092013)....................arrrrgh
    Off to work and will try anything later

  • Best Solution for Backup of Dual System(Mac & Win7) and Data Partition

    I need a professional solution of backup my dual-system, which are Mac OS Mavericks and Windows 7, and a Data Paritition.
    Right now, I have three partitions: Bootcamp (for Win 7 system, NTFS), DATA (for both system files, FAT32), Macintosh HD (for mac os system, HFS).
    Before on PC machine, I may restore the system with Ghost Tool, but since now I am using Macbook Pro. Cannot do that way any more I think.
    Also, the annoying thing is DATA partition, if I make it a FAT32 format, some large files cannot be copied into, but if I make it a NTFS, Mac OS cannot regonize it, right?
    What about using exFAT format? Never use that before, actually. I heard that format can accept large files and also be regonized by Mac OS.
    To sum up, two advices needed. 1. Win 7 partition backup and restore w/o breaking Mac OS system; 2. DATA partition format for both system.
    Thanks a lot. I appreciate your help!

    Also, the annoying thing is DATA partition, if I make it a FAT32 format, some large files cannot be copied into, but if I make it a NTFS, Mac OS cannot regonize it, right?
    Use exFAT instead of FAT32.

  • Mac book and problem after hard drive update!

    Hi
    I am new to the forums so please be nice
    My friend updated the harddrive on my ibook and i got some discs for Leopard osx so thought I would give it a go, although the discs say imac on them he assured me they would install.
    When I try to install it just says it can not be installed on this machine?
    Do I have to buy a specific version of leopard?
    On the discs it says mac os version 10.5.2, AHT version 3A140?
    Thank you any help will be appreciated.

    Hi Everyone,
    It is a macbook not ibook, sorry my mistake.
    I did not know it would be breaking or violating anything, if so I apologise!!
    I will obviously need to buy the software specifically for my macbook is the answer, thank you for all your answers.
    If i buy the software do I still have to ask for macbook or is the retail version for any mac machine?
    Sorry - I wasn't trying to be harsh. The software on the restore discs is licensed (or should I say licenced) for use on one computer. I think a lot of people might dispose of or sell them after their machines expire or they upgrade to a newer version of OSX.
    This gets really complicated.
    There are currently 6 different iterations (all the machines at the same issue date should use the same install version) of the polycarbonate shell MacBook. Each one would require a different set of install discs. Several of these came out before Leopard (10.5) was on the market and the install discs have Tiger (10.4.X). If your machine was of a vintage before Leopard was on the market, you can install using any retail version of Leopard. I have a copy of Leopard with the original 10.5.0 version. The current retail version of Leopard is 10.5.6. This should install on any MacBook which came standard with any version before 10.5.6.
    Are you confused enough now?
    If you could identify which iternation of MacBook you have, I think people here could give you a better idea of what your options are for installation of the operating system. You could put your old drive back in, run System Profiler and find out which MacBook version you have. Mine says MacBook 3,1. My guess is that any retail version of Leopard should work since you identified your OS as 10.4.11.

  • Mac Mini and iMac all 5400RPM drives?

    Why are the iMac 21" and Mac Minis all 5400RPM drives and not 7200?
    I'm planning to get either one and won't be doing anything intensive. Web surfing, email and I'll be running a Parallels VM to have access to MS Remote Desktop (needed for TS gateway).  Although web surfing, the VM and OS X will all be on the same drive, will this slow the machine too much?
    For what I'm doing, would 7200RPM make any difference?
    Will 4GB RAM be enough for the above?

    I purchased a Mini some time ago and sold it about 4 weeks later - the slow 5400 rpm drive was driving me batty - I definitely noticed the difference. It writes and reads at about 2/3rd of the speed. Granted, I do a fair share of video and graphics editing, so if you don't need that, it may not make a difference to you. I've never used Parallels, so I wouldn't be able to comment on that. From what I saw on the website, the Mini will be offered with a fusion drive - I wouldn't mind checking that out. As for RAM, Mountain Lion is a bit of a memory hog and 4 GB should be considered a minimum.

  • Keeping custom templates and configurations on different drive

    What I'm trying to do is keep one set of DVDSP layouts/templates/etc on a partition that all of our editors/graphics artists can access instead of adding 8gb or more on each station. I figured out how to link each station to the stock palette elements, using the preferences, but I didn't see a way to let DVDSP know that the configurations folder has been moved to a new partition. And in terms of custom templates, where are those normally saved? In the same folder as the stock templates? I'm unsure where to point DVDSP to set the custom elements. It's default is /Users/drive/Library/Application Support/Final Cut Studio/DVD Studio Pro. I see that DVDSP wants to save custom templates in the user folder library and the general templates in the general library, but what if I want both on a non-local drive? Can I simply create two folders (templates/custom templates) and make sure that our editors save to the custom folder when using DVDSP?
    And lastly, will the custom configurations stay linked if I move the configurations folder to the new location on the shared media partition?
    Hope this makes sense,
    Steve

    Steve
    Look in DVDSP Preferences > Destinations > Show: Palette Elements. You'll see the location destination of stock and custom elements.
    Hope that helps !

  • Syncing iPhone to empty mac - apps and data and contact details

    Will syncing my iPhone to a new empty mac wipe all my apps and their data and my contact book details?
    My laptop died so I brought a new MacBook. I want to sync my iPhone with the new MacBook but i'm scared of losing my app data (e.g. game saves) and contact details on the iPhone.
    I know that the music on the iPhone will be wiped but will my apps (and the data saved within them) and my contact details be uploaded to my mac or wiped from the iPhone?
    Thanks

    Syncing to a different computer will remove and replace all iTunes-managed media content - that includes music, videos, and apps. As a result, you will lose your app data that's currently on the iPhone. No real way around that, unfortunately.
    For contacts/calendars, you need to create one 'dummy' contact in Address Book on the new Mac, and one 'dummy' calendar appoint. That will result in you getting prompted to Merge or Replace the data when you first sync - choose Merge and your contacts/calendars will be transferred from the iPhone to the Mac. If you try to sync with a completely empty Mac, that will erase the contacts/calendars from the iPhone, too.

  • Windows Xp Keeping Mac up to date in Windows.

    I am going to be installing Windows XP using Boot Camp. I was wondering if I need to use a virus program and keep the windows side up to date like on a pc. I am only using it for finances and not to surf the net other then a banking site and credit card site. Any tips you might have would be nice.

    Treat it as though you would a real PC with msWindows - because that's what it is in this specific case (of tumming under Bootcamp. Apply all the normal protections like anti-virus, firewall, anti-spyware etc.
