Keeping original iPhone data, songs, etc. when upgrading to 4g?

I have a first generation iPhone, and I really want to upgrade to 4G. Is it possible to recover the things from your original iPhone when activating and switching to the iPhone4? If so, how is that accomplished?

  • Resize movie & keeping original created date

    I have a batch of movies, that were taken with my digital camera, and I would like to resize them but keeping the original created date. I've used ViddyUp! to downsize the movies but that has then put the creation date as today and not kept the original creation date. I wondered if anyone else knew how to keep that information on the movie?

    Okay, I've not found an easy all-in-one way of doing this but what I've done is use VisualHub to change the size of the movie and then use A Better Finder Attributes to change the creation date. A bit of a faf but it's the only way I could figure out how to do it.

  • MTS converter that keeps original created dates

    I moved from Windows to MAC a few months ago.
    I brought from my WIndows PC 500 MTS files which since 2008 I had downloaded from my Panasonic Everio.  They are on my hard drive now.  They are NOT on my Everio.
    I want to import these from my hard drive to Imovie 11.  Why oh why can't Imovie do this just as easily as it does when I take newer movies directly from my camera.  Surely this functionality can be added to Imovie without much headache.
    I have tried replicating the directory structure and creating a disk image.  Doesn't work.
    I have tried two or 3 MTS converters and that - aside from taking forever - is a route but all the converters I find do not retain the original date created and instead suggest the films were all taken on the day I did the conversion of the MTS file.  So I would then have Imovie telling me 500 of my files were created today rather than spread across the last 4 years.  I realise I can change the date of each one manually but A) there are 500 and B) without doing it as I convert each file I cant be sure of the date the original was on as the meta data no longer exists.
    PLEASE can Apple address this in the next upgrade.
    In meantime doesn anyone know of an MTS converter that will allow you to retain the original date created when it converts to a new file format.

    JVC released the Quicktime Components update:
    <http://www2.cli.co.jp/products/ne/update_qtc_for_gzhd7/qtc3e_update.htm>
    which should take care of TOD files playing in Quicktime, but:
    The answer to your question depends on which model JVC camcorder you have.
    Here are a few basics:
    1. If you have a JVC HD Everio that records in the AVCHD high definition file format (.mts file extension), and you have an Mac with an Intel processor, (sound like you do) running iMovie '08 or '09, then it should  be no problem. Simply connect the camcorder via USB and launch iMovie.
    2. If you have a slightly older JVC HD Everio that records MPEG2 high definition (.tod file format), then it is easiest if you record in the special 1440CBR mode, and transfer your video to your Mac using an i.Link (Firewire Connection) using the "Playlist Dubbing" process which is explained in your owner's manual.

  • How do I keep MY folder and song names when converting?

    I am trying to convert a whole library full of my song files and iT is renaming folders and files.
    I also posted this problem in "Using iTunes." Then though maybe I was using the wrong forum. So I am trying here. Sorry if this is bad, let me know.
    I'm lost and confused. During converting files (from MP3 to AAC) iT breaks up my folder full of song files and redistributes the files under newly created folders. For example: I have a folder I titled, "Latin-Mixed." In it are about ten songs by different groups. After iT made the conversions I found ten folders, each was named by the name of the group or artist, and in each was a song file, sometimes with a new title different from mine - like, mine was "01-Compay Segundo-Chan Chan." iTunes changed it to "Track 1." Sometimes the reverse occurs. All I had was a track number, but iT found the full song title and put it in (that part is a plus).
    Right now, I am manually dragging each song back out of those individual folders and recreating my one folder (Latin-Mixed) and putting them in it, trashing all the folders iT made. What a pain.
    Can anyone help me with this?

    First of all, thanks a lot for your help. I AM learning. But you are correct in your closing assumption, not quite clearer than mud. Are you willing to go a little further with this?
    I'll take that as a yes. Here goes.
    You wrote: "No you don't have to drag a folder to the iTunes window. What I an referring to is that you have selected the top tab of the Source column, named "Original" and that is how you are viewing the tunes in the main window."
    What do you mean by Original?
    I keep all my music on an external drive. But this is not my Music Folder. Since iT and I have been struggling, I have assigned my Music Folder on an internal drive but use it as a temporary holding area. As conversions are complete (now, compilations, thank you) I drag them off to my permanent external drive. So I thus clear the main iT window of everything by deleting what was there and was converted. I also have multiple Libraries. This one I have called "Conversion_Lib." So, is what you are referring to as Original, my Conversion_Lib?
    Assuming the last sentence above is true, then my problem goes back to the first question: if I don't drag a folder of tunes into the main window, how do they get there? And if I select the top tab of the Source column (my Conversion_Lib?) then I have a blank window.
    OK. Moving on.
    You wrote: What you could do is take your tunes and assign them to various albums named the way that YOU want the music files to stay nested. For example - X-mas 1 mood 1 - X-mas 2 mood 2, Latin mix Salsa, Latin mix Samba. Assign the tunes to those various folders then make sure that you have told iTunes that those songs belong in a compilation.
    "Assign them to albums..." "Assign the tunes to those various folders."
    You lost me here. Do you mean take a group of tunes on my hard drive (the ones I want to convert) and put them in folders (your "albums?) and name those folders as I want? Like the example you gave above. Which is basically what I have now - but on my hard drive, not in my Music Folder. (Is this where I am losing you?) But, assuming this is the case, what do you mean by "assign the tunes to those various folders?" Isn't that what I just did?
    Next you suggest, "Ok you have sorted your tunes and assigned them to an album named XXX. sort your tunes in the iTunes window with "Album", then select all the tunes assigned to album XXX..."
    Lost me again. Assign them to what album, where? Do you mean create a folder in iT? I'm really lost here.
    If you can get me past these questions, the rest of what you wrote, I think I can understand and actually do.
    You're really being helpful and I appreciate it. I've already learned a lot.

  • Bridge CS4 - keep original file date/time

    Is it possible to set Bridge NOT to change original file modify date/time when editing metadata?
    Something like Irfan can do...
    thanks

    I know what you mean. Since the modified date is the only picture related date that can be used in explorer (and some other tools) for sorting, it's a very valuable field.
    While to my knowledge it's not possible to conserve the modified date in Bridge, it's at least possible to change it back to its original value after you've tagged your pictures in Bridge. For that, you need the free software EXIF Tool GUI:
    http://freeweb.siol.net/hrastni3/foto/exif/exiftoolgui.htm
    There, under "Modify", you can choose "FileModifyDate as in Exif:DateTimeOriginal
    If your only concern is sorting, I would recommend the following strategy:
    Before doing any tagging, use a renaming tool, such as the freeware LupasRenam2000 v.5
    http://rename.lupasfreeware.org/
    In there, sort your files according to the modified date (as long as it's still correct) and then add an increasing AutoNumber in front of your filename. Now, you can always sort by filename and get the correct temporal order.

  • How do I transfer all of my Preferences, etc. when upgrading from CS6 to CC

    Hello,
    I just decided to upgrade today from CS6 to CC. After downloading Premier Pro CC, I notice that NONE of my Preferences, Sequence Presets, Media Export Custom Presets, Effects Presets were carried over to the new version of CC.
    Surely, I do not have to manually re-create all of these presets/settings.
    Can someone please tell me there is an easy way to get everything transfered over from CS6 to CC?
    Thank you,
    Robert 

    The best option is to use Migration Assistant to restore your data from the old computer, and as you have a Time Machine backup of the old MacBook, use that backup.
    The link from where you have posted this question gives you the steps to transfer files from another Mac, but transferring files from a Time Machine backup is even easier. To do it, just connect the Time Machine disk to the new computer and then, open Migration Assistant (it's in /Applications/Utilities) and follow the steps.
    When Migration Assistant finishes, you will have a new user with the data you have restored from your backup, so go to  > Log Out and log in the new user. If you want more information about that process, read > http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html
    If you haven't set up the new computer yet, you can restore the backup through Setup Assistant. See > http://pondini.org/OSX/SetupLion.html

  • Does mac save all files etc when upgrading?

    Hey
    Does my macbook save alle the data that i have on it, when i upgrade from MAC OS X 10.6.8 to LION?
    Or do i have to make a safe copy of i all?
    I have alot of pictures and iworks files that i would like to still have on my mac ...
    Hope you guys can help med out
    / Mikkel

    Not sure what you mean. If you are asking if the drive is erased when you upgrade to Lion, then the answer is, No. If you are asking if a backup of your files is made before the upgrade, then the answer is, No. You should make your own backup before upgrading to Lion.
    How to Install Lion Successfully - You must have Snow Leopard 10.6.7 or 10.6.8 Installed
    A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Utilities. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally. 
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.3.) if DW cannot fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall Snow Leopard.
    B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
    Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the backup volume. Source means the internal startup volume.
    C. Important: Please read before installing:
    If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
    You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
    The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update.  While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
    D. To upgrade to Lion:
    Purchase the Lion Installer from the Mac App Store. The download will start quickly. Lion is nearly 4 GBs so a fast internet connection is essential. Download time could run upwards of 4 hours depending upon network conditions and server demands at the time.
    Boot From The Lion Installer which is located in your Applications folder.
    Follow instructions for installation.

  • Will my iphone 3gs transfer music when upgrade to iso5

    I have a Power PC G5 running  10.4.11.
    I want to upgrade my iphones 3gs from ios4 to iso5.
    I have itunes 9 - which according to itunes is the latest one I can have.
    Itunes says I can, my concern is that when I upgrade the phone I will no longer be able to transfer music over. I know it wont over wifi- which is no big deal. Will it work when its plugged in?
    Thanks all.

    To use iOS 5, you need iTunes 10.5.x.
    To run iTunes 10.5.x, you need OS X Leopard.
    Don't update the 3Gs unless you first update iTunes.

  • I just bought a 4s. I attached to my computer and now the data/songs/etc from my ITOUCH are on it? How do I get it off and get my contacts back!

    Sorry, if you reset your Sync Key your data was deleted from the Sync server. Your data is gone.
    Mozilla keeps just one "copy" of your data, there are no backups made to be "restored" if the user makes a mistake such as this. Plus, the Sync service isn't made for or intended for "backing up" your data for the purposes of restoring that data after a format of a PC. Yes, some users do that, but "you" need the Sync Key or you're SOL, as now. Mozilla didn't intend Sync to be used in that manner.

    You should backup before you do it, then you won't lose anything.

  • Lost tags, etc. when upgraded from Elements 2 to 6, and XP to Vista on new computer.

      I was using Photoshop Album 2 on old XP computer. About a year ago, I got new computer with Vista and I installed Photoshop Elements 6 on it. I had copied files from old computer onto a flash drive, then from the flash drive to the new computer. The pictures came over fine, but I lost all of the tagging. Any way to get that back?

    You need to find the PSA2 catalog file, and copy that as well. I believe the default name of the file is My Catalog.psa, but I don't know where it would have been stored. You could search your hard disk for *.psa (turning on the feature to search in hidden fodlers). Then, you will have to convert the catalog to PSE6 (File->Catalog->Convert).
    Or, in PSA2, File->Backup Catalog and then in PSE6 File->Restore Catalog

  • Itunes keeps downloading the same songs over and over again on a shared library

    I have a share library on a NAS box, and until now, little problem. But now, iTunes keeps downloading the same songs etc, when I go to another PC, even though the library is shared between the other PC, is the same.
    Plus, iTunes repeatably asks for my Password to log in, even though it is correct.
    Share Library on NAS box, mapped drive paths to drive letters.
    Keeps re-downloading songs and podcasts I all ready have on the NAS box, if I open iTunes on different computer.
    This is new behaviour. Has not happend like this till today.
    Keeps asking for my iTunes ID and Password, over and over again, evertime I run iTunes, or my iPod.
    Thanks in advance.

    Adriana,
    If your .mac account is set to be type .mac (don't laugh, it can be set to be POP, or IMAP), it functions essentially like an IMAP. As a .mac, the Inbox is actually on the server, and when you display the Inbox, you are displaying everything on the server. Any downloading you observe is purely for purposes of display, according to what selections you have made in Mail Preferences. What you report seems perfectly normal, for a .mac account, and for an IMAP account.
    Often an exchange account is also an IMAP account, and thus the behavior would seem normal for that type of account.
    Again the Inbox is on the Server, and not on your Mac. Do not confuse this with selecting to Keep copies for Offline viewing -- those copies are refreshed from the server whenever you sign on.
    Neither a .mac nor IMAP account folder will contain a MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded file . However, your POP folder should have such a file or two, to control duplicate downloads of messages remaining on the server -- POP was originally designed to remove upon download, but now that many people use more than one computer, it is logical to sometimes leave messages on the server to be download onto other computers.
    In the Finder, open Home/Library/Mail and look for a folder named to begin with POP and including the server and/or email address in the name. If there is not a POP folder, then the account has NOT been set up to be something other than POP. If there is a POP folder, it should contain the MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded.
    More info, please.

  • Please fix the sensor! I want my original iphone back!

    I want my original iphone back!! I LOVED my original iphone. I never even upgraded to 3g or 3gs because it always just worked for me. I was excited to try the new iphone 4, thinking it was time to upgrade. I'm so sorry I did it. I am now on my 2nd iphone 4 and am even more unhappy than I was with the first one. I didn't have dropped calls on my first one but the time keep changing to another time zone randomly and didn't change when it should. Now with my second iphone 4 I'm having the sensor issue CONSTANTLY. I've tried it with case, without case, it doesn't seem to even matter. I put people on hold, speakerphone, disconnect, mute. It's a nightmare.
    I have been a loyal apple advocate since in the early 80's but this product may just shake my support. PLEASE fix this issue. Don't tell me to buy a case! It doesn't fix the problem.
    Unhappy. : )

    I wonder if all the people reporting the problem hold the phone between their shoulder and their cheek?
    (I have to admire such courage. You wouldn't catch me using my £600 phone whilst intentionally leaving go of it!)
