My PC with iTunes on it got fried (lightning).  I have a 2nd PC with iTunes on it.  How can I move my devices to that iTunes (I have recovered data from the drive)

I had a primary PC that had iTunes on it that got fried by lightning strike a few months ago.  I have several devices (1 iPod, 1 iPad, 3 iPhones) that were synched with that iTunes install.  I had a secondary PC with a separate iTunes installation on it (separate music library.)  I recovered the hard drive so I can move the music to the secondary PC, but how can I sync my devices with that 2nd installation of iTunes without losing all of the information on those devices?  (I haven't saved or synched those devices since the summer.)  Can I keep the playlists from from the first PC?
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

  • How can I move one years worth of Raw photo files to a different hard drive and perserve the edits

    How can I move one years worth of raw photo files to a different hard drive (to manage space) and preserve the develope module edits and still see them in  the Library module?

    The easiest situation, is where this year's worth of images is grouped physically inside one parent folder (something many people build in from the start, in any case).
    If there is a parent folder on disk, but you are not currently seeing that inside LR's Folders panel, you can make this visible to LR by right-clicking on one of the folders which live immediately inside that, and selecting "show parent folder". This gives you a single "handle" by which to manipulate the whole grouping.
    Then it is just a matter of moving this parent folder. It's usually as simple as dragging it from one place to another inside LR's Folders panel, however this is a little more difficult when it's a question of another drive which does not yet appear there.
    So an alternative method will likely prove more straightforward: physically move the whole year folder into the other drive using your operating system's Explorer/Finder. The folder (and subfolders, and all the contained images) will change with ? icons inside LR, and it all goes "offline". This is because LR's records of where everything is, are known not to currently work (the former location is now not available). But all the edits, thumbnails, keywords, collections etc are still in place because these things are still remembered in the Catalog - and the fullsize previews are still cached also.
    Then right-click on the parent folder in LR's Folders (the top folder which shows a "?") and select Update Folder Location. Then browse to the other disk and identify where this folder is now to be found. LR updates all its records and the whole grouping carries on just as before, only using a new  storage location for each image concerned.

  • I'm told there is a virus associated with Adobe Reader. How can I tell if my machine is effected and if so what is the cure. I'm running OS X10.6.8 on an iMac with safari 5.1.5

    I'm told there is a virus associated with Adobe Reader. How can I tell if my machine is effected and if so what is the cure. I'm running OS X10.6.8 on an iMac with safari 5.1.5

    There are no viruses currently affecting the Mac but there is something called Flashback which is malware that has been doing the rounds and affected many Mac users. Apple have released some updates to Java that should remove it and improve protection. Run Software Update to see if there is anything for downloading.
    A few precautions that can help prevent your Mac becoming infected:
    If you use Flash only download it directly from Adobe.
    In all web browsers disable Java (but do leave Javascript on as that's something else).
    In all web browsers make sure downloaded files aren't set to automatically open after downloading.
    Consider disabling Java completely (launch Java Preferences in the Utilities folder and disable it - you'll likely rarely, if ever need it. If you do just turn it on and off again when your done).

  • My iphone 4 is dead with water damage. Is there a way to recover data from the dead phone.

    My iphone 4 is dead with water damage. Is there a way to recover data from the dead phone. Could any one help where exectly the memory chip (not RAM) resides in the phone. Is it on the motherboard or a seperate component in the phone?

    The iPhone's internal components are soldered together. There is no way to recover data from your phone if it refuses to power up.

  • How to recover data from failed drive that's part of mirrored raid

    Hi Guys,
    hope to get help from someone knowledgeable out there. I have a macpro and recently experienced a failed drive. I set up that failed drive as part of a mirrored raid, this set is not my primary drive and so my computer is stilling up and running but now am wondering how I access the data from the mirrored drive. Should the mirrored drive automatically mount on my desktop whereby I would be able to access the files? This is my first drive failure and I was under the impression having a mirror would duplicate my data and allow me to access it in situations like this. I'm a bit of novice in this area and not sure if the data is truly on the "mirror" or if there are things I need to do.
    I launched disk utility and was able to see the mirrored drive and I selected "mount" drive but it would not mount; I then selected "verify" and got "unrecognizeable filesystem" Is this normal? Am I suppose do something to get access to the mirrored drive? Do I install a new drive in place of the failed drive and expect the raid to rebuild automatically whereby I then see the data?
    Your help is much appreciated.

    Even with a mirror, you still need a backup.
    Along with Disk Utility, you still need 3rd party (TechTool Pro 5, Disk Warrior 4.1.1+).
    And if you like to use RAID and esp mirror RAID, consider
    http://www.softraid.com which is a step above (the pdf guide, manual you can download and they have a demo, so worth the read). SoftRAID can also import/convert an Apple RAID to its own format which has been known to recover drives and data.

  • Can I move my iPhone 4 sim card to another iPhone 4 from the same carrier?

    I just shattered the screen on my iPhone 4 (AT&T model).
    I have a second iPhone 4 (also an AT&T model ... a friend switched carriers and got an Android. I have their now unused iPhone 4).
    I want to know if I can swap my SIM card out from my iPhone 4 into their iPhone 4.
    I think, in theory, that I should be able to do this, and if I restore their iPhone with my iTunes, that it should sync, and recognize it as if it were my same phone.
    HOWEVER ... I had a problem with some features when I went from my iPhone 3Gs to my iPhone 4 when I upgraded: saying this device has a different serial number or UDID or something like that ... I think the problem was with my MobileMe account, but I'm not sure.
    So I just want a qualified confirmation from someone who actually knows whether or not what I have proposed should work as I expect it to -- that with my SIM card, iTunes and my carrier will just recognize the new phone as if it were my old one -- or whether I'm way off-base in my understanding of how this should work.
    Thank you for any assistance.

    Because the iPhones are both locked to AT & T you would not even need to restore the iPhone just insert the new SIM card in and restart. It will work fine.
    If you want all your data from the smashed iPhone just back it up in iTunes and restore the other phone from that backup, but this is not necessary to just make your SIM work in the other iPhone.

  • How to recover data from hard drive of failed notebook

    I have a broken F767NR laptop. Broke due to something other than the hard drive. What is the best method to extract the data from the notebook hard drive inside the laptop since the laptop won't turn on? Anyone with any specifics would be helpful!

    http://cgi.ebay.com/2-5-HARD-DRIVE-SATA-EXTERNAL-ENCLOSURE-CASE-USB-2-0-New-/160526605521?pt=PCC_Dri...
    Something like this would work.   Pull out your hard drive and put it in the enclosure.  Hook it up to a working computer and you should be able to see all your folders and files.

  • How can I move an event in ical to another calendar without ical resending the event invite to everyone

    I have 2 microsoft exchange calendars that I use for work. One is provided by my company, the other is provided by a customer that I do contract work for. The customer prefers to send invites to my email address provided to me by them. Which means that the invite appears on the exchange calendar provided to me by the customer.
    That's fine, but I would like for the event to appear on my work calendar so that I can get reminders on my iphone (long story short, the customer does not allow me to connect to their exchange server via my iphone due to security reasons).
    So, I go into iCal, open the event and change the calendar for the event. Unfortunately, that causes iCal to resend the invite to everyone involved in the event. This causes alot of confusion, obviously, as now everyone is wanting to know why I sent an invite for an event that is already scheduled.
    How can I move events to another calendar without iCal sending another invite to everyone?

    If you change anything in a repeating calendar entry it will give you the option of disconnecting it from the series. So may any random change, choose to not change the series.

  • With 10.2 I can only use system speaker output for audio, NOT my RME FF400 I used previously. The FF400 works fine with other apps. How can I set this device in FCP 10.2? (it is set in both system preferences and midi)

    With 10.2 I can only use a system (e.g. speaker) output for audio, NOT my RME FF400 I used without any problems previously. The FF400 works fine with other apps (some like TwistedWave) setup in the program, and others (like Spotify) using system preferences & audio midi setup. How can I set the FF400 to be the sound output device in FCP 10.2? N.B. The FF400 is set as sound output device in both system preferences and audio midi setup.

    From the fcp.co forum. See if this does anything for you.

    I have the solution! Well it at least worked for me. This is the response I got from Apple, Can you please try the following steps towards fixing your audio issue, and report back with your results?
    1. Open the application Audio Midi Setup (located in Applications : Utilities)
    2. Select the Output Tab for the current output device
    3. Select the Configure Speakers option
    4. Select the Multichannel tab
    5. Change the setting to Stereo Now mine was set to stereo but the left channel wasn't showing left. re-clicking on stereo reloaded the settings and after clicking apply it worked. 

  • When you transfer app purchases from in my case an iPad to iTunes does it include data from the apps?

    For example the app Ladida that records your voice and makes it into a song. I have lots of songs saved in the app from some of my baby cousins, does that get transfered with the app to iTunes so that if I ever need to sync it back to my iPad the songs will all be there??

    No. App data gets stored on the device and is backed up when you backup the device. If the app doesn't provide a way to save the data via say the File Sharing system, or email, then you need to keep the app on the device. If you remove the app any data associated with it will be deleted from the device, and at the next backup it will also be removed from the backup set.

  • How to recover data from the hard drive?

    I've always heard that data is never really gone from the hard drive even after you delete it. How do I recover that data? My problem is some photos (my honeymoon photos) have been deleted from my computer and they have also been deleted from the recycle bin. I sure would like to recover them.

    First stop using your system, then get a copy of a program that will recover files like Data Rescue 3.  If you have a time machine backup you may be able to restore them. 

  • How to recover data from hard drive?

    All my data was saved in an external hard drive and it got deleted, don't know how. Is there a data recovery program that you recommend me?

    Try using one of those listed here. Don't write anything else to the drive until the files are recovered or you choose not to recover them.

  • Recovering data from hard drive

    I have a satellite A205 and I need to run the recovery disk and reinstall the operating system because I get an error message every time I try to start the computer.  Since I can't get the computer started, is there an easy way to access the hard drive with another computer to get the data that I don't want erased?  Or is this a job I should take to a professional?

    If you are capable of removing the hard drive, you can use an external enclosure or cable adapter to connect the drive to another computer and copy the data. 

  • How can I quit my iPhoto screen that as crashed and locked on. The locked screen has no iPhoto file list on the left and the part of the screen that should have uploaded photos is blank except for the rotating download icon in the centre of screen. Help?I

    My SD card reader has caused my iPhoto screen to be locked with no list of files on the lefthand side and a blank main photo area apart from the rotating download icon operating in the centre of the photo part of the screen.
    I have tried to quit iphoto but when I restart it the same locked screen appears.
    I believe I caused this problem when I removed my SD device without first ejecting it when the blank screen appeared without downloading my new photos.
    Can anyone help a 66 year old computer illiterate fool ?.
    Regards

    Use Force Quit (under the Apple menu at the top) to close iPhoto.  Then try opening it again.  If it locks up again force quit and try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists.
    If the problem does not persist try the following: make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and  apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
    If the problem persists in the test library do the following:  make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
