New machine, missing content?

Just purchased a new MacBook Pro and re-installed FCP X. It seems I remember that with my previous machine I had to install some additional content, music, loops, effects. I have totally forgotten where to obtain those. Would appreciate some info.
Thanks.
Tom

Hi Tom. Thanks again. But, the Apple loops for Soundtrack Pro folder and the Final Cut Pro sound effects folder are greyed out with no content, yet updates says no updates are available. My transition from the iMac to a MBP has gone well except for this last glitch. I even purchased a new Thunderbolt display and loving it. Maybe I am being too picky but I like all to be where they should be.
Thanks again.

Time machine missing content

I have an MBA with 256 GB SSD. Updated to Mavericks including iMovie 10 (which filled the disk during conversion of iMovie 9 files).
Just checked Time Machine for possible restore and found, that the content is missing!
The only directories are "Users"(!) this happened possibly through thinning of local backups?!
How can I tell Time Machine to backup the whole boot disk (again)?
Tried
Michaels-MBA:tmp michael$ sudo tmutil removeexclusion /Applications
Michaels-MBA:tmp michael$ tmutil isexcluded /Applications
[Excluded] /Applications
How /Applications (and all the other items) are Excluded and it seems I can't change that?!
Any help appreciated…

You've probably found your solution by now, but if not, according to this test it looks like you were affected with a Time Machine bug...

New Authorization/Missing Content

I just authorized iTunes on a new PC, as well as updated iTunes. I lost most of the songs in my library. How do I access those songs on this PC?

New computer, missing content/content won't sync with iPod

I got a new laptop and I allowed the sync between the computer and my iPod touch. However, not all my content is on iTunes anymore and neither will iTunes and iPod sync correctly. I'm afraid to erase and sync because I've already lost a lot of content off iTunes. What do I do? Plus, I just bought music off of iTunes with my iPod sync'd to my computer and it still won't sync the new music to my iPod. ???

I'm glad that just moving the music library worked for you. When I moved my library, it didn't work automatically as you indicated. When I synced may nano to the new computer with the recently moved itunes library, a message came up asking if I wanted to erase everything on my nano and sync with this new computer. I checked yes and it synced without any problem. However, for some reason the same message didn't come up when I tried to do the same with my iphone. I only synced after I found the sync tab and checked the box that said it was ok to erase the phone's music in order to sync it to the new computer. I think I know why the message came up automatically with my nano but not the iphone. I initially connected my phone to itunes on the new laptop before I had the music library moved over. When the message asked if I wanted to erase the phone and sync with the itunes, which was blank, I said no. I think that is why I had to manually check the "yes" box to sync my phone with the laptop after the music files were moved.
All that matters is that it is working now and I didn' have to make an appt with a "genius" at an apple store for them to show me how to check the box.

How copy contents of iPhone to a new machine?

My old PC died. I purchased a Mac Pro. Now I want to use my iPhone on the Mac Pro. However, iTunes wants to wipe out my music, apps, and other stuff on my iPhone, in order to use it on the new machine.
How can I copy my iPhone contents to my new machine, without loosing everything?

Not sure you understood my question. I do not use my iPhone as a backup device. With regards to my iTune library located on my dead PC, there is no way for me to transfer contents of my iPhone and music, since the computer is dead.
If I attempt to sync my iPhone to the new machine, it will wipe out the contents of my iPhone. Is there a way to sync or copy the contents of my iPhone onto the new machine without loosing anything?

How to transfer Logic Pro X downloadable content to new machine?

Hi, so I've got Logic Pro X installed on two machines, on one I've recently downloaded the 30 odd GB of additional content. Needless to say I don't really want to do it all over again for the other machine.
Is it possible to just copy the content onto the new machine, and if so, which ones do I copy?
Thanks!
Renault Hess

You can.. but you don't want to as it can cause more issues that take more time to resolve than it saves... and in the end you will probably have to download and install all the content anyhow.. so do it the correct way in the first place and save yourself a bunch of possible trouble and time trying to fix it later....

New Machine: Application no longer exports Crystal Reports

I have a web application that was written in C#. We build and debug the application locally on Windows XP machines. Recently we got new machines, which were loaded with XP, but now with service pack 3 instead of service pack 2.
On the new machine, I installed the web application from VSS and it is working quite well.
The only problem is, Crystal Reports will not export on this new machine. What am I missing?
The error I get when I try to export the reports is:
Error in File C:\directory\reportname.rpt: Unable to connect: incorrect log on parameters.
Keep in mind that the application runs fine on the old machine, reports and all. I have searched and searched for a solution to this problem to no avail.
The error is thrown on this line:
rClass.FormatEngine.ExportToStream(req);
I went so far as to give 'Everyone' full control over the entire file system on the machine to see if there was a permissions issue, but that didn't work at all.
Funny thing is, when I add:
oRpt.SetDatabaseLogon("username", "password");
the report exports without a hitch. We don't have that line of code in the application on our other machines and the reports export just fine.
PLEASE HELP! Many thanks.

Crystal Reports has a 3 concurrent processing licenses. Basically it can process 3 users reports simultaneously the other users will be queued until one of the concurrent licenses are released or time-out hit. Now this is different then the job limit there is also a maximum number of print jobs; a print job is not equal to a Processing license. A report with a single subreport in the report header will take two print jobs to run. More subreports or subreports in a repeating section will require more jobs to run the report.
Depending on the complexity of the reports you can get anywhere from 3 (for really complex long running reports) to upwards of 20 (for really light reports) users running reports through a web application. If you are going to be server much more then 20 users I would suggest moving to a Report Application Server (RAS) based application.
Technically a web application that does not close and dispose the report object that runs a report with no database connectivity and only a single text box that reads "hello world" could serve your max print job limit, but would only run 3 users at a time. However this is pretty rarely the case.
So upping your max print jobs from 75 to 1000 may not do anything but create more load on the system (more jobs kept alive) draining resources and slowing the processing jobs down.

I transfered my iTunes library from 1 computer to another and am now missing content. How do I get it back?

I transfered my iTunes library from my old computer to my new computer using iCloud and an missing content. My iPhone still has my full library on it. I've synced my phone but the missing cntent wont transfer over. How do I get my complete library on my new computer? My old computer had windows 7; the new one windows 8. Dont know if this makes any difference.

Delete the garbage that has been created on the new computer.
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer. Launch iTunes, everything will now be as it was on the old computer.

I have an old hard drive from a ruined computer attached to my new one but i cant find my old bookmarks which i want to install on the new machine. help please!

my old computer was running vista, and i had hundreds of bookmarks in many folders, but i cant find these when exploring the old drive. I presume i cant use the import facility as i wouldnt be able to access the firefox browser itself on the old drive, but i was hoping the bookmarks would be stored somewhere accessible

thanks for the suggestions weather15 - the firefox help site you directed me to explains what ought to happen but i cant make it work. I shut my firefox browser on my new machine and attach the hard drive from my old machine. I can explore the contents of that drive but when i search it for the suggested folder " %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\" nothing is found. when i try and open firefox from the old drive, the browser opens that is the new version that i have on my new computer with no saved bookmarks! Am I doing everything right?

Safari problems on new machine

Hello. I just bought a Dual-core G5 and am having some issues with Safari (and to a lesser extent, Firefox). I have none of these problems on my G4 Powerbook, and they're both running the very latest OS updates.
Here are the issues:
1. When I log out of Hotmail, it doesn't log out completely and go back to the MSN Homepage. Instead, it gets stuck on an "almost logged out page" with two buttons at the bottom -- "Try Again" and "Done". The same thing happens in Firefox, actually -- but only on this new machine. There must be some browser setting needed to automatically get past this, but I've got cookies fully-enabled, etc. Any ideas?
2. I think that whatever setting is affecting #1 is also affecting my ability to log into FREDMIRANDA.COM. When I try to log in there, it accepts my username & password and tells me I successfully logged in. But I really haven't been logged in because when I go to read a forum that requires login, it tells me to log in again. No matter how many times I log in, however, the site doesn't recognize it.
3. Whenever I start up Safari on my new machine, which happens to have two monitors, the browser window ALMOST goes back to where I'd placed it before -- in the upper-left corner of the 2nd monitor. Why doesn't it go EXACTLY to that loction, which is where it was when the program last shut down.
If you can help me figure out what's going on and how to fix it, I'd certainly appreciate it...
Regards,
ALF

another thing you might try is (after quitting safari) opening up:
/applications/safari.app/contents/resources/english.lproj/brower.nib
in interface builder and ensuring that the browser window is positioned where you want it. save the layout. note that this will affect all users.
on the other hand, this might be a multi-monitor issue (can't help there).
hmm...this other business is peculiar. it'd probably be better to start with firefox, since it's more self-contained. are you sure all your settings are identical on both versions? running:
diff -u g4firefoxprefsfile g5firefoxprefsfle
should give you a quick overview.

How can I copy the Mail "rules" I have already setup on my old MacBook over to the new machine?

Setting up my new MacBook Pro. How can I copy the Mail "rules" I have already setup on my old MacBook over to the new machine?
Is there a file I can copy & paste?

Thanks Barry & all,
Is it enough to just copy the rule-related files ??
i.e.
Library/Mail/V2/MailData/RulesActiveState.plist
Library/Mail/V2/MailData/SyncedRules.plist
Library/Mail/V2/MailData/UnsyncedRules.plist
What you suggest copies the local mailbox content + all the settings ...
while what I need is much less... and I'd like to be able to sync rules also in the future
by copying something light and simple ... not the entire Library/Mail folder
Many thanks,
Stefania

Moving my photos and PSE catalog to a new machine... and upgrading

H
I am seeking advice on the best way to do the following:
- move my photos from my current laptop to a new laptop
- recreate my current PSE catalog on the new machine
- do both of the above while also upgrading to PSE 11 on the new machine.
The last time I did this sort of action -- moved my photos to a new machine -- it was sheer bedlum. Hoping to avoid the pain this time.
Do I first need to move my photos to the new laptop -- recreating the exact smae file structure that I have today -- amd them export and import the PSE catalog? I want to repeserve the album structure and tagging that I have created.....
Any help/pointers appreciated.

The recommended way to move to another computer with a new OS or PSE version is to use the built-in backup and restore function in PSE.
- Start with a clean catalog : reconnect missing files, repair, optimize. That's good practice even if it is not strictly necessary.
- Do a full backup on an external media (external USB drives are safe and affordable). If you have several catalogs, do as many backups. Warning ! each separate backup must be in its own separate folder.
- Now, you have installed your PSE version (possibly a newer version) on the new computer, you can do a restore from each catalog backup. That will restore the catalog and the picture files ; if you have checked the option to keep the folder tree structure, it will be kept.
The smart thing about this process is that not only everything is restored, but if you have upgraded to a newer PSE version, the catalog will be automatically converted to the newer version ; furthermore, you have a backup!

Edit:
This shows why a backup from the organizer is often a better solution than external backup solutions. Suppose your old computer crashes, you can restore to a new computer and newer PSE version easily. It's also a good way to update a secondary computer (a laptop for instance) to the same 'sync' than the master computer.

I upgraded to 5.01 and lost all my CD music files. Worse, I have had to change my computer and while I can see a list of files in Itunes on the new machine I cannot download them. What's to be done?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipad- without syncing : File>Transfer Purchases
In some countries you can redownload some itunes content.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
