Lost administrator info

I was transferring from my old iMac to new iMac using Migration Assistant. I accidentally overwritten my administrator id. Now, the new iMac only shows one account as standard. There is no id that is an administrator. Anyone know how i can set it up again? I tried reinstalling OS X. No luck, since it needed administrator login to reinstall.

Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions!!
There is no id that is an administrator.This will get administrative privileges back for the account you can log in with: kmosx: I lost my admin user.

HT4059 I recently lost all info on my iPad, luckily I had recently backed up on iTunes. We I restored it my iBooks didn't bring my files. I have the properly labeled files in the collections, just no files. How do I get these?

I recentlyl lost all info on my iPad, luckily I had recently backed up on iTunes. When I performed the restore, everything came accross except my iBooks pages. I have the proper files in my collections, but the information in the files is not showing up.
How do I get this lost information back?

A backup doesn't contain any of your iTunes downloads or the contents of the Music, Videos or iBooks apps. If they are ibooks and they are still in the store then you should be able to redownload them via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app. If they are PDFs and/or epubs from other sources then do you have copies of them anywhere e.g. are they in the Books part of your computer's iTunes library or elsewhere on your computer ?

Lightroom 4.4 crashed on Windows 7 Laptop, lost catalog info, won't import half my images.

Lightroom 4.4 crashed on Windows 7 Laptop today, lost catalog info, won't import half my images.
Not only is LR messed up, it deleted my day's shooting. Can't believe that.
Now it won't import (i.e. re-import) half my files.
Imported half, but had errors importing rest.
Corrupt catalog?
When I try to import the folders, it recognizes that they are in the catalog (I have "don't import duplicates" turned on).
After running through all the folders, it says, "Nothing to Import."
Any help?
Best,
Peter

Thanks dj_paige.
I installed a plugin, coincidence makes me thinks this might have cause a LR4.4 crash.
After rebooting my windows 7 laptop, LR had lost record of half my directories on the external drive, as seen in Library Module.
In Windows Explorer, the folders and images are still there.
I tried recovering the lost folder references in LR by doing an import on the external hard drive again.
It took about a half hour to run.
There was a report screen at the end of the process that said that LR was unable to import something like 1500 images.
I did not save the report screen. Maybe it is part of a log file somewhere to give you what it exactly said?
I do not profess to understand how catalogues work under the covers.
I only use one catalog at this point.
My guess is at this point I should de-commission the catalog (whatever it takes to do that - delete it, etc.) and just do a new, fresh import on my images.
I don't feel I lose anthing this way - I can't see where I would lose anything important. About 5-10% of the RAW images were processed and exported to jpg, just for web use for casual viewing. The jpg's are all still on the external hard drive.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Cheers,
Peter

Lost Song Info

OK, here's my situation:
I have Windows XP. I realised that no album artwork was showing on my iPod nano, even though it was on iTunes (most up-to-date version). This was because the error with the "Chkdsk" thing kept appearing. After I ran that, nothing changed, but after I'd changed some setting somwhere, I thought I'd fixed the problem. But I had to stop partway through the operation so only some of it came up on the iPod.
However, when I went back to it, I somehow accidentally deleted all song info (artist, album, album artwork etc) and now all that appears on both the iPod and iTunes is the song title. This is the case in "iPod", "Purchased" and "Library" sections. Nor is it on my hard drive.
Is there an easy way to retrieve all lost song info quickly and easily?

How many songs are you talking about? You can enter the information yourself for each one if you're up to it. Right click on the song file, then choose get info. On the second tab "info" where everything is probably showing up unknown, you can type in the information. I'm sorry I really don't know of another way to do this if the program can't ID the song to search the internet for details.
Are these whole albums or individual songs? If they're albums, you could burn them to a CD and then rip them into Windows Media Player. You'll get an option to search for the album info. online before you rip the CD. You can enter the artist or album name and let Windows Media Player find the correct song details, then Windows Media Player will enter the info into all of the columns for you. Once you have these albums ripped in Media Player, you can re-import them into iTunes and the tags will be there. (Just make sure you rip using mp3 so you don't have to go through a conversion process to bring them into iTunes.) Album art doesn't transfer from Windows Media Player to iTunes. You'll have to hand add this.
I don't rip in iTunes so I don't know how the program tags unknown albums. If iTunes can search for and add tag information to unknown albums--skip the Windows Media Player step and just re-rip everything in iTunes.

Lost registration info

I have a problem. In a recent move I have lost my FCP original disks (which isn't a huge problem since I have the software backed up) but when I copied all of my software from an old machine to my new MacBook Pro the FCP became unregistered and I can't find the number anywhere. (I usually save a copy of the numbers on my hard disk...don't know why this one is missing).
Question: Is there any place on Apple's site to find all registered software (and hardware for that matter) and the registration (or activation) info?
Rick

Are you saying that you simply copied the apps from one machine to the other? It's unlikely that you'll get the apps working properly without a clean reinstall anyway.

Lost all info on ipod

Hi
My daughter updated to the new 5.1 software on her ipod touch and she lost all her info? can anyone help?

At the start of the update process iTunes asked her if she wanted to make a backup. Then at the end of the update it asked her if she wanted to restore from the backup. Unless she responded Yes to both, the data was not transferred.
If she did make a backup, but did not restore from it, you can still retrieve it by right-clicking on the iPod name in the Devices list and selecting to restore from the backup.
Purchases from iTunes Store should be on the computer normally used to sync the iPod to (or can be re-downloaded for free). Photos, addresses, etc., should also exist on the computer, if regularly synced. If so, you can sync them again to the iPod.

Lost iTunes Info

On March 14th 2006 as I was trying to download a screen saver from apple when my computer went on the fritz. I relaunched the Finder and to my horror my computer had been reset to the factory settings. Thankfulyl no data was gone but getting everything back to normal took a long time. When I imported all my iTunes back in all the information (play counts, last played, date added) was all gone. I assume now the 3.5 years later and with a new computer that is probably not coming back. But is there any way to find out when exactly my music was ripped? Or is that lost in time forever?

You could go look at the file info in the Finder to see the creation date. That is the best that you can do.
If you know about when you put groups of files into iTunes you can change your Mac date and time to the previous date and then add those files back into iTunes. iTunes looks at your current system clock to populate the Date Added column.
if no data was lost then why did you have to import all you tunes again?

Lost Calendar info

I've had some problems keeping my calendars in sync from Mac to iPhone and iPad. Now I have lost some information from my calendar on my Mac. If I do a mobileme sync will I then lose the information stored on mobileme or will I get it back from mobileme?

Could go either way. If data is disappearing by itself that suggests you have a corrupt calendar file on one or more of your devices. With corrupt data, things do not always behave as they are supposed to.
If there is information on MobileMe that you want that is not anywhere else, you can login as a new user on your Mac, go to Apple > System Preferences > MobileMe > Sync > Advanced > Reset Sync Data and reset the sync data from MobileMe down to the computer. This will pull a copy of whatever is on MobileMe down to the new user.
You can then use the File > Export > Export option to take that calendar out of iCal and put it in your normal user.
Once you have the data you want back in your calendar you can then follow http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8933.html to reset the sync data on MobileMe. This will then populate down to all your other devices (assuming the information on your computer is the most up to date.)
Hope that helps.
