Moved to new TM disk, now no history available

Hello,
I recently had to move my Time Machine backups from one external drive to another. The new drive connects to my MacBook Pro just fine, and the Time Machine prefpane correctly identifies the oldest and newest backups and will make new incremental backups. But when I enter Time Machine, all the old windows are blacked out, and there are no dates listed on the timeline. If I hold down the Option key and click "Browse Other Time Machine Disks", no drives are listed, regardless of what is currently designated as my TM disk.
I'm using the same computer with the same MAC address. I looked at this page but saw nothing applicable:

How can I restore access to these old backups?
-Ken

Thanks for the reply, James.
I believe I moved my Time Machine backup using SuperDuper. When it was done, I did a Get Info on both the source and destination drives and saw that both were using the same amount of space.
I've tried entering Time Machine from my internal hard drive's root folder, my home folder, and others, as well as navigating to those folders once in Time Machine. No dice.
Oddly enough, as I was writing this message, I tried taking a screen shot while in Time Machine. Something locked up, and I had to do a force reboot. When the Finder came back, my old backups were once again accessible. Even after an incremental backup (only 1.07 GB!), they're still there. I'm not sure what I did, other than pore over this thread for advice that wasn't applicable:

Site files moved to new (identical) server; now iWeb gives "Publish Error"

Our school district just replaced the web server where our teachers publish iWeb sites. All user accounts, passwords, IP addresses, and content moved over just fine, but now when teachers try to publish updates to their existing sites on the new server, iWeb throws a "Publish Error: Unable to communicate with FTP server..." error. Test Connection in the publishing settings works fine, as does logging in to the server using an FTP application, so we know the user accounts are okay.
An interesting twist: I published my existing site (that was experiencing this issue) to a local folder on my desktop, and used a standalone FTP application to upload and replace my iWeb site files manually; when I went in and set the iWeb publishing settings back to FTP server, it was again able to publish updates to the site without issue.
We're looking into a permissions problem on the files that were moved from the old server but so far have not been able to find any differences.
Does anyone have any ideas what may be going on? We have a couple hundred people this is affecting and if it's something we can fix on the back-end instead of having to manually replace all of those site files, that would be a great thing!

The only time that I had to move a bunch of sites to a new server I was instructed by tech support to download all the sites/files and upload them to the new location.
I would assume that, if you don't do this, the permissions could get messed up.
My hosting service uses Webshell4 to manage files on the server. To change permissions you need to select the site folder in Webshell4 and click the "CHMOD" button to get a window that allows you to do this.
Read permissions should be checked for User, Group and Other.
Write permissions would normally be set for User only.
You could try this with one site to see if this is what's required but your hosting service tech support should really help you with this. That's what they are there for.

Moved itunes to another disk now everything is gone

ok so my (C) disk was low on space, so I went to iTunes, and moved itunes to another drive. after I went throught that whole process, I copyed the iTunes folder from the (c) drive to the (d) drive (the new drive) and then after it had finished pasting, I deleted the iTunes folder from the original drive. I then opened itunes and it now is empty what do I do in order to get everything back? thankyou in advance.

I'm confused.
You moved iTunes to another drive and then then you copied the iTunes folder to the D: drive?
How did you first move iTunes to another drive?
Then why did you copy the iTunes folder after that? Isn't this moving iTunes to another drive"
Hold Shift and launch iTunes.
Select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder you copied to the other drive.

IPhoto library moved to new external HD- now doesn't show up in iPhoto

Hello- Yesterday I successfully added a Maxtor One Touch II external hard drive to my system, and partitioned it for a bootable backup and extra storage. I did backup the entire computer at that time.
Today I moved my iPhoto library (my first step in making some room on my internal hard drive) to the extra storage partition on the external. Everything went fine, I was able to work with my photos and made cd backups of about 2/3 of the library. Since all looked well, I did start trashing images and data from the old iphoto library in the Pictures file from the years that I had backed up on cd.
After a computer restart, I opened iPhoto to a vast grey emptiness. It is obviously not finding the new library on the external HD, but it is not giving me the dialog box to give it directions. The new library folder shows up on the external- how do I direct iPhoto to the new location? It does not appear that iPhoto has created a new empty library in my Pictures folder, the only thing there is the old (now incomplete) library.
Thanks!
Power Mac G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) iPhoto 4.0.3

Looks like I'm back in business!
Yesterday, I'd tried renaming and changing the location of my old library folder with no results. In my panic, I totally missed the instructions to hold down the option key to get the dialog box and never tried that.
However, when I tried it this morning- still nothing! I found the new library on the external HD and clicked on it, but still no pictures. So moved the old library again, and I shut everything down (again) and restarted- and now it's working fine. I quit iPhoto and opened it several more times to make sure it was still working and it is.
Thanks for taking the time to respond!

I added a new hard disk now iPhoto doesn't work - help?

I had to have a new internal hard drive and even though some of my work was recoverable from the old disk I cannot now use iPhoto or iPages or Keynote or Numbers. What can I do to recover these apps?

Reinstall them from source.

Assuming your library was in the standard layout before you started move the rest of the iTunes folder to the root of the external drive, move the iTunes Media folder inside it, and shift-start iTunes to connect to library file at \iTunes\iTunes Library.itl.
See Make a split library portable for some background.

My Windows 7 Professional desktop system hard disk got corrupted and I took the opportunity to install an SSD for a new system disk and reinstall Windows. The system is up and running on the SSD, with my old system disk now used for storage as it is still readable. The only Adobe product I have reinstalled so far is Reader XI but I would like to reinstall Elements 8 and Acrobat 9 without taking up more licences as both are also installed on my laptop. Can you point me to the best way to do this? - Thanks

If the reset doesn't work:
FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTune (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port. Do not release button until you see picture of iTune and plug (very important)
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTune has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTune.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note: Data will be lost

Unless you can set the Time Capsule's drive to have it's ownership ignored
you won't be able to use the library on the same volume as the Time Machine backups.

I just moved to a new house and now i can not send emails but i can receive them...

New houses can do that.
We need more info - what email service is this issue about. Do you use several (gmail, yahoo, icloud,...) and is this issue the same for all? If you also use a computer or other device, is this issue common to them all?

If prefs are the same as Settings on a MAC, OK, it would have been more
clear to me if you had said Settings since I didn't see anything related to
prefs. On a PC, I know what you mean, On a MAC, wasn't sure.

+You may have already done this, but do you have the first AirPort Express configured to "Allow this network to be extended"?+
Could not find that setting anywhere.
It's in AirPort Utility, AirPort panel, Wireless tab.
When I'm within the range of the base station I connect normally, but further away the connection drops despite the fact that the other Airport is very close and light is green. Interestingly, my PB Pro has signal almost everywhere in the house, but my iPhone and Mac Mini don't. Most likely just a hardware difference?
In AirPort Utility with the second Express, in the AirPort panel, Wireless tab, have you checked "Allow wireless clients"?
The second AP does show an IP address: 10.0.1.3.
With a "Configure IPv4" setting of "Using DHCP", that suggests that the second Express really is connecting to the first Express. In that case I have no other explanation of your your problem.

What is it doing on the desktop?
You burn the DVD selecting Burn in iDVD.

Of course this assumes that you actually have iDVD, as it is no longer included in new Macs running Lion:

Cannot get the Apple.. what?
Model and actual device you are talking about?
Apple covers a pretty huge range.. If you mean extreme.. did you reset it to factory and start over.. that is always necessary when you change a network. You cannot pick up a router from one home and network and plonk it into another and have it work.. aint gonna happen.
You also need to power down any pure cable modem for 20min or so to get it to forget the old MAC address that captured the IP so the Apple ??? has a chance to work.
