My Mac crashed. I got a new hard drive. I reinstalled Lightroom. Fortunately ircats are stored on an external drive. How do I import all of the old catalogues from external drive into a new LR catalogue. I have done it before. It has just been many years and I can't recall how.

If you had stored your catalog files on an external drive, then all you have to do is double-click on them to open them and use them.
Or you could move them to the internal drive and double-click on them once the move is completed.
To create a single catalog file from multiple ones, you could use File->Import from Another Catalog

    Hi, raneth's boyfriend!
    Unfortunately, iTunes was told to restore all data from an old backup onto the new phone, and that cannot be undone.
    However, prior to this, iTunes 10 would have also asked to make a backup of the phone before doing the restore.  If the user elects to say "yes" to perform the backup, then iTunes would have backed up the phone before erasing it.
    Hopefully, that backup will still be available in iTunes, and if so, it would be backed up under the new phone's name prior to it being erased and restored (if the name of the new phone is different to the name of the old phone).
    To check if iTunes has a backup of the phone prior to the restore, look in the Devices category in iTunes Preferences.  All backups made are timestamped and are identified with the iPhone's name at the time of the backup.  Look for:
    • a backup of the phone using the new phone's name prior to the erase and restore, or
    • a backup with the same date and time as that when the phone was erased and restored (not the date and time AFTER when the phone was erased and restored!).  This may be the case if the new and old phones have the same name.
    If a backup is available, you can erase and restore again using that backup. The phone will be restored with what would hopefully be the original image of the new phone.
    If no backup was made prior to erasing and restoring the phone initially, then there is no way to
    undo it, meaning your phone's original data has been lost.

    How can i transfer all my data 250 GB from external hard disk to MAC pro

    The simple answer is just connect the external hard drive and drag the files from there to wherever you want them to go. If you need to do something more specific, you'll have to provide more details.

    how can I transfer all my music and apps from my computer to my new iphone?

    This is one of the most basic of functions of the iPhone.  This is a good time for you to read the User Guide.  All the instructions on how to operate yor phone are included.  I suggest you read through it.

  • I have a new computer and I want to use the "MasterPassword" again. How do I import all of the saved website passwords/logins from my old FireFox computer?

    I have a new computer and I want to use the "MasterPassword" again. How do I import all of the saved website passwords/logins from my old FireFox computer?

    A couple of methods.
    The first is to copy 2 files, key3,db and signons.sqlite from the profile folder of the old computer t the profile folder of the new computer. For details of how to find the profile folder see the [[profiles]] article.
    The second method is to install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2848/ Password Exporter] add-on on both computers and use that to export/import the passwords.

  • Hi i just buy a macbook how can i transfer all my musics and apps from my iphone to my new itune?

    hi i just buy a macbook how can i transfer all my musics and apps from my iphone to my new itune?

    1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
    also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

  • How can i sync all my music and playlists from my iphone to my new computer

    how can i sync all my music and playlists from my iphone to my new computer

    Yes.  You can sync everything that is currently on your iPod Touch to your newer one. Just plug it in and sync it like you did with the old one.
    If you want to retain your App data, see this article for information on backing up your current iPod Touch and restoring the backup onto a new one.

    If you purchase the iPad, keep in mind that some Apps may not be compatible with it.

  • HT4623 hi i have an iphone 4s and has not been a year yet no water damage but there is a white cloudy screen around the edges and will start going crazy with different colors and all someone please gel what is wrong with it?

    hi
    i have an iphone 4s and has not been a year yet no water damage but there is a white cloudy screen around the edges and will start going crazy with different colors and all someone please gel what is wrong with it?

    I switched the usb port and did the whole recovery holding of the buttons ect... And it worked, the computer detected the phone and i was able to click restore. However, the computer says preparing iphone for restore and it is still doing the restarting thing where the apple fades away and then comes back like it is restarting. If i can somehow get past this i will be able to go back to factory settings and resolve my problem, but this is where i am stuck.

  • How do I get old emails from Time Machine into a new Mail?

    I have (I hope) email data in Time machine as of April 8  which I can't figure out how to get into my newly reinstalled version of Mail. 
    I took over my brother-in-law's iMac on April 8, and closed his User ID, saving it in a .dmg file.  Now that he has a new computer, he would like his old emails, so I reactivated his user ID, and reinstalled his email accounts in Mail as of May 27.  When I look at the Time Machine Backups drive, there is a data folder for April 8, but when I open my newly re-installed Mail and click on Time Machine it only goes back to May 27.
    Is there a way to get at the April 8 data?
    Thanks,
    jrguest1

    I set up an admin account for myself, logged on to it, and then followed the procedure in the help file to delete his account, saving it as a .dmg file.  Then, when he asked for his old emails, I followed the procedure in the help file to restore a deleted user account and copied the contents of the .dmg into it.
    I'm not entirely confident I got the restoration sequence right, since I find the order of steps in the help file confusing. But everything except the Mail data seems to be recovered.
    Another source of trouble may be the email account settings:  when I opened Mail under his log-on, there were no accounts set up: I recreated them using his email address and password, but Mail may well be treating these as new accounts, rather than re-opened old accounts.
    Thanks, John

  • HT204387 I would like to download my old contacts from my Samsung into my new iPhone 5C. How do I do it????????????

    I have tried using the bluetooth on the iPhone to search and pair with my ol samsung phone but it is rejecting the pairing? I would hate having to download the contact info manually. Is there a way to do this?
    Additionally how can I get teh iPhoen to work with a hands free bluetooth decise that ie especially helpful when driving. The earphones supplied with the phone are in my view quite a dated alternative.

    I think it recognises *some* non-Apple Bluetooth devices, but the number of devices, and the functionality supported, is very limited, and extremely poor and inflexible when compared to other manufacturers' devices.

  • How do I import all my songs, apps, etc from my old pc to my new iMac?

    Had originally copied songs onto a memory stick from old computer (PC), and copied to itunes in my new iMac.  Seemed to work fine but when I went to sync my iphone 4s, it is evident that all my apps etc are still in the other computer.  Is there any way to sync it all over ????

    The apple store will do this for you.
    You can call apple support and they will help you.
    You can type " move itunes library from pc to mac" in the google search bar.

  • How can I stop all of my old emails from downloading to my new iphone?

    When I upgraded to iphone 4S a few years ago, hundreds and hundreds of old emails suddenly downloaded to my iphone, and I couldn't stop it. I can't remember how I resolved the problem then -- but it is happening again with my new iphone 6. My badge is showing 1,000 new emails. How to I correct this?

    So the .ini file might read:

    StartWithLastProfile=1
    [Profile0]
    Name=default
    IsRelative=1
    Path=E:\Z - THUNDERBIRD\Profiles
    Is that correct for location of:

  • How do I convert PDF files of mdepreciation schedules from ATX software into excel spreadsheets? Can that be done with Adobe?

    I am a CPA trying to convert depreciation schedules from ATX software PDF files into excel. Is that possible?

    Hi Henry,
    The ExportPDF online service allows you to convert PDF files to Excel format. I'm not familiar with ATX software, but in general, the quality of the conversion depends on how well the original PDFs are written.
    If you decide to give ExportPDF a try, and it doesn't work out for you, you're welcome to cancel for a full refund within 30 days of subscribing.
