New Computer.... Where are my Keywords, etc.?

My old OS got really sick and needed to be "renewed". I had to install a new HDD with a new OS, etc. I was on Windows XP and the new OS is Vista.
This all required a fresh install... basically no old application files were transferred.... The old HDD is still intact and useable..... but not its OS.
I installed LR2.7, and it works OK... but I do not know where to find thinngs like my Keywords files, etc.
I have read the Tech Note on where the catalog and preferences is located, etc.. but I am not so sure about any other files that were on my old HDD.
Can someone help me know what files need to be moved, find the old files, and tell me where to put them in my new OS?
Thanks
Frank

They are wherever you put them.
Did you copy them from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one?

Try the process in the post at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1061905. If you are successful, then backup the software and put it in your archives for future use (write the SN on it). This should be done with any software you download. Companies do not generally keep old versions of software around on their sites. They generally expect you to archive it for the future or purchase a new version. That is even true for free software. So try the site and see if that does the job for you.

Opening Lightroom for first time from new computer where library is on external hard drive

There has to be an easy way to open my lightroom library from my new computer where the library is already on an external hard drive because that's where I was told to put it to make this whole process easy. Well, I can't find any information on how to do this and I'd rather not mess up my photos!

Could you be specific about the problem you are having? What happens when you try?
Also please be sure to state your operating system and what version of Lightroom.

Where did you put them?
These are not part of the sync process at all, as the manual tells you. You should be importing them to your comptuer regularly as you would with any digital camera.

I bought a new device where are my pics from old device

I have an Icloud acct and I was told that my pics would transfer to my new Iphone, where are they and what do I need to do to find them.

iCloud would back up photos and videos in your Camera Roll, so if your old pics are in the camara roll, you can transfer them to your new device.
Read this note of information from Apple support, you will find the way to do it.

ITunes can't find music on my new computer, songs are 'unchecked' & won't play

I had iTunes installed on my old computer, and had lots of playlists set up. When I recently bought a new computer, I used an external hard drive to transfer all my music files to the new computer, and then I installed the latest version of iTunes on my new computer. When I opened iTunes, all my songs and playlists were listed, but all the songs had little exclamation points in front of them, and all were "unchecked" -- and therefore none of them will play. When I try to play a song, I get a message telling me iTunes cannot locate the file, and I have the option to locate it manually. I obviously don't want to do this tedious task for each and every song -- there must be a better way. Any solutions?

I suspect you missed out a step in the transfer process somewhere that was designed to avoid this situation...
The exclamation mark shows if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .
Ctrl-click on an empty check box will check them all...

New computer, files are on old, external USB HD, can't get LR2 to recognize them

Installed LR2 on my first iMac 2 years ago and set it up so all my photos live on my external, USB drive. Bought my new computer, re-installed LR2, plugged in my original USB HD and I can't get LR2 to look at the files.
I looked around in the help and deleted my library file from the new computer's HD. Now when I start up, it asks me
All my photos are on my USB HD (I can see them in Finder) but I really don't want to have to re-import them to LR2 again.
thanks!

You have to find the catalog that LR worked with before you switched computers.
You see, LR cannot "see" image-files that are on a hard drive unless it has the catalog to go with these images.
For LR to work, you always need two things: the image-files and the catalog (and your previews).
So, where is the catalog? Best way to go about it would be:
Attach the external hard drive to your old computer and open LR. Go to Edit > Catalog Settings > General Tab. Select "Every time LR exits".
Close LR and the backup dialog will come up that lets you choose a back-up location. Select your external hard drive as the location.
When LR has finished the backup, connect the external drive to your new computer. In your OS navigate to the location of the backup and double-click the file with the ending "lrcat".
LR will open with this catalog, and if you haven't changed the location and/or the names of your image-files or image folders it will find the images.

PS: Make sure that the external hard drive on the new computer has the same drive-letter as it had on the old computer. If it doesn't do the followin:
In the Libarary Module you should see question marks besides your folders. Right-click the folder that is top-most in the hierarchy and point LR to the location of this folder on your hard drive.

How do you sync w/ a new computer without loosing game data etc.?

I recently switched from a Windows computer to a Macbook Air, and then.. i tried to sync my iPad with iTunes, and this is what it says:
I like the order my apps are in on my iPad, and I don't want to risk loosing any of the apps data, all my music, all my videos, and all my photos (But i have my photos saved on a USB drive)
I already transfered my purchases with File > transfer purchases
But, is that enough to verify that I won't loose the order of my apps on my device or loose the data?
Please respond... thx

I am sorry if I wasn't clear in my earlier post. I already knew how to transfer purchases. I had movies that wasn't originally from iTunes on my new computer that I wanted to transfer to my iPad, but then this message popped up:
It wouldn't transfer with "Transfer purchases".
I transfered my apps, music, etc. to the new computer already. But I am afraid that I will loose my game data... I also did home sharing. The iPad is synced with my old computer's library. Is transfering purchases from the iPad to iTunes enough to ensure me that I won't loose my game data?
Thank you for responding...

Question re: moving iTunes library to new computer where files have different file path?

Hi everyone-
I just got a new laptop and need to transfer my iTunes library to the new computer.
On my old computer, the hard drive was partitioned into a "C" drive and an "F" drive. The new laptop is just "C."
Since my iTunes library was on the "F" partition on the old laptop, the file path for all the files is going to change when I transfer to the new laptop.
I can find dozens and dozens of articles online about how to move iTunes to a new computer, but none of them seem to address the file path issue.
Does anyone know where I can find detailed instructions on how to make this work?
Thanks in advance.

Quit iTunes.
Move the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder to the F: drive.
Hold Shift & launch iTunes.
Select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder you moved to the F: drive.
Everything should still work fine.
Now go to iTunes prefs > Advanced.
Set the iTunes media folder location to the iTunes folder you just moved to the F: drive.
iTunes menu File > Library > Consolidate library.
This will copy all your media into the iTunes folder (F:\iTunes\iTunes media\ folder)
Let it finsh.
Quit iTunes.
Then you can copy the F:\iTunes\ folder to the new computer.
If you copy it to /Music/ folder, just start iTunes and it'll work.
If you copy it elswhere (such as another drive) hold Shift, launch iTunes, select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder.
