Praviliuon dv7 hard drive; need to transfer entire contents to new hard drive

My hard drive is on it last leg and

Hi,
If your current HDD is still working, try making a Image of the drive.
You can use Windows 7 Imaging utility to back-up a copy of your HDD to an external HDD - the procedure is described on the following link.

At the end of this process, make sure you create the System Repair Disc.
You can then load this saved Image to your new HDD by booting from the System Repair Disc, selecting 'Repair Your Computer' and follow Method 3 on the link below.

    Need to transfer Acrobat Pro to new computer, old computer crashed so I can't disable/uninstall.  What do I do?

    Install it on the new machine, if you have run out of Activations then you will probably need to contact Adobe and explain what happened as far as the old computer crash and burning.

  • Computer Hard Drive Crashed - Need to Transfer from IPod to New Computer

    The hard drive died on my old PC as I was transferring files to the new PC. Most data made it but my daughter's ITunes was not one of the things that made it. Fortunately the tunes all still exist on her IPod. How do I transfer them on to the new computer and ensure the music all makes it? She has a combination of music purchased from ITunes and music from CDs. Her IPod is an older mono screen model but I believe we had ITunes 6.x or later on the old machine if that makes a difference.

    Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • Computer hard drive crashed. Need to transfer iPod music to new computer -- how to do this??

    My Windows 7 computer crashed, and now I need to transfer my tunes from my iPod Nano to my new computer. I have both purchased songs and songs I uploaded from CD's.  Can anyone help tell me how to do this?  When I plug in my iPod the iTunes software only shows the songs that I purchased from the iStore, not the ones I uploaded from CD's.
    Help appreciated.  Gail

    You can't do it without third party software.  Do a google search for 'transfer ipod to itunes'.  This is the first hit to come up, but there are others.

  • How can I transfer entire contents of Mail mailbox from one Mac to another?

    I've long wondered how to do this:
    I have two Macs - an iMac and a MacBook Pro.
    I have categorized several hundred emails on the MacBook into a separate "mailbox" by itself. Let's just call it "Project XYZ emails" for the sake of discussion.
    I need to transfer ALL of those emails +en masse+, hopefully still categorized together into a separate "Project XYZ emails" mailbox file, from the MacBook to the iMac. How is this done?
    In the old days, when I used to use Eudora, this was quite simple -- one could physically locate the separate desired "mailbox" file in the Finder and just copy it from one hard drive to the other, and then place the mailbox into the appropriate place of Eudora's file structure on the second computer. Relaunch Eudora and voila, the new mailbox is there for viewing, etc.
    But in Mail, I can't find any tangible "file" on my hard drive that represents a "mailbox" in the Mail program. And that includes control-clicking the application file itself and choosing "Show Package Contents." When I do that, I can see, after burrowing into the folders, a single large file called "Mail" which I think contains ALL mailboxes lumped together. But I can't see a way to separate them for individual manipulation.
    Any suggestions or ideas on how to copy entire mailboxes in Mail from one Mac to another?

    Thanks! Seems to have worked.
    Once I imported tham, I had to fiddle around renaming mailboxes and "moving" the emails to the desired locations, but that only took a minute. So overall, seems like that's the solution! I only wish that the steps to do this were made clearer by Apple in the Mail "help" menu -- where I couldn't find any mention of how to do this.
    A happy ending, in any event.
    In case anyone reads this in the future, let me add in the missing steps, to make it perfectly clear:
    In Mail, choose 'archive mailbox' from the mailbox menu.
    +Copy the newly created archived mailbox file, which will probably be a file with the suffix ".mbox," from the original machine to the second machine.+
    On the second machine: In Mail choose 'import mailbox' from the file menu.
    +The emails will now appear in a new mailbox in Mail listed under the name "imported" or "import." If desired, either rename the mailbox, or create a new mailbox with the correct name, and "move" all the emails into it.+
    Done!

  • WinXP Crashed, need to transfer from iPod to new machine

    My copy of Windows XP Pro crashed, and now I want to transfer my music from my iPod to my computer, with a fresh copy of XP Home. Is there any easy way to do this?

  • I need to transfer Pages documents to new computer.

    How do I transfer  Pages documents to new computer?

    Be more precise: is it is new mac, and want to transfer data? is it another PC running Windows/Linux of someone else or yours?
    Note that Pages format is not recognized on other platforms, you must first export it is a rtf or doc or PDF format. If a mac-to-mac transfer, you may copy Pages files just like any other format. You may connect the two macs or mac and pc via wilreless network or via an ethernet cable or, if both macs, via firewire cable, if both have one (not always) or you may use an external drive as an intermediate support for migrating.
    If you more precise in offering details about what you need, perhaps we may be more useful. It is also important to know what size? if you have, say, 1 GB of files, a wl connections would suffice, if many GBs, perhaps a wired connection is better, it will be faster. All details are important.

  • Need to capture entire contents of a mini DV

    What is the easiest way to capture entire contents of a mini DV? Must I create an offline clip and specify the media start and end points and do a batch capture, or can I use Capture Now?
    Thanks,
    John Link

    If you use Capture Now, it will get everything minus any preroll needed to start a new clip on a timecode break.
    If you change Device Control to Non-Controllable Device, in the Capture Settings, you will get absolutely everything but there will be no source timecode. Should you ever need to recapture that will make it very difficult/almost impossible to recreate your work accurately.

  • Need to transfer photoshop elements to new computer; how?

    I have purchased a new laptop and need to transfer my Adobe PhotoShop Elements to my new computer.  How can I do that I have the disk.

    Just install it on the new machine and use the serial number to activate it.  You are allowed to have two activated installations, so if you want to you can leave it on the old machine as a backup.  If you want to removce it or otherwise disable it on the old machine then open it and choose Help -> Deactivate.

  • For 2 weeks, I have been unable to use sync & it says that server maintenance is underway & will resume automatically; need to transfer history to a new laptop

    For about 2 weeks, I have been unable to use sync. I keep getting a message that says server maintenance is underway & will resume automatically. How long will this maintenance last? I urgently need to transfer my history to a new laptop and return the one I am currently. My deadline for this is tomorrow as I have run out of time to complete this process

    I have reset sync and the messages have stopped coming (I hope I have not messed things up). However, I still don't think sync is working (how do I confirm?).
    I don't recall all of the exact words of the error message but it was similar to this: sync operation failed server maintenance is underway and will resume automatically. To check server status (click on something). Each time I clicked on the button provided, I was directed to a mozilla page which informed me that most people are able to use firefox sync and that additional capacity was on the way.
    To confirm if rectification of the error had occurred, I tried getting sync on my other laptop to update and I got a similar error.
    Yes this has been going on everyday for 2 weeks. I have been given a new laptop where I work and was given some time to transfer all my files. The deadline expires today and am to return the old one tomorrow.
    Is there a way I can permanently reset sync to just take in my most recent history and passwords?
    Thanks for responding

  • Need to transfer books from a new pc to ipad  1 without losing old books

    i am sure this has been asked and answered but i am new to this community. I just lost my PC and the external hard drive i had. I have just got a new pc and want to transfer books i have there to my ipad but i keep getting a message that says if i sync the pc and ipad i will lose all my old books and only get the ones on the new pc. That is a LOT of books i would lose.
    i am not a young computer genius, so if someone could please give me an easy step by step way to just add the new books without losing anything i would appreciate it.
    by the way, these books are "files" on the new computer. They are not from teh  Kindle store. Almost all are epubs.
    thanks

    There are some instructions on this page for how to sync to a new computer : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
    Even if they aren't ibooks that you downloaded from Apple, if they are in the iBooks app on your iPad then you should be able to copy them over to the Books part of your computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases.
    If you have music, films etc on your iPad which aren't in your new computer's iTunes library then you might be able to redownload some/all of your iTunes purchases via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes. For music, films etc from other sources (and if you can't redownload all of your iTunes purchases) then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • Does anyone know how transfer entire library onto new computer

    can anyone tell me how to transfer the entire music library from my ipod onto a new computer inluding the playlists? Windows Vista home pro

    Easiest way is to copy the iTunes folder (NOT the iTunes Music folder, the one above that) from your old computer to the new computer.
    Yamipod (3rd party software, free) will copy your music from yoru iPod to your computer but not playlists.
    I believe TransCopy will transfer music and playlists but it is not free.
