Questions about restoring catalog

I will be getting a new computer using Windows 7 in a few days. I have a few questions about how to move my photos
and programs into the new computer:
1. I have Elements 8.0 and Photoshop CS5. Do I install those programs on the new computer first, then transfer my photos to the new computer, then restore the catalog? Or do I bring the photos into the new computer first, then install the programs, then restore the catalog? Or does the order make a difference?
2. When I restore the catalog, do I click on the folder holding the backup, or just the backup.tly file?
3. The most difficult question: I currently have a C drive and a J drive on my computer. All my photos are on the J drive; and they're linked to the J drive in the Elements catalog. The new computer will have only one (C) drive. Will Elements recognize those photos, or do I have to do something to change the link from the J drive to the C drive? If the latter, how do I do that?
This was a nightmare when I first copied my photos from my C drive to my J drive in my current computer, so I'm hoping to avoid a major disaster this time!
I apologize for asking so many questions at once.

If you have taken the backup of your catalog from within the Organizer, then you need not worry about your photos. Backup itself creates a copy of these and when you select to restore the backup, these gets automatically restored.

Question about restoring a backup.

Question about restoring a backup. I want to restore an old back up to recover messages and photos. If I restore my iPhone with this old backup, will it delete any CURRENT text messages that I currently have on my phone? Same concern current photos on my phone. Thanks!

Hello,
I'm having a problem ....
My phone was giving me trouble and I had to completely wipe everything from it. I had backup on my PC , but when I connect my wiped phone back to my PC, it couldn't recognize it , so I got a question...something like "this phone is connected first time....do you want to authorize this computer...blah,blah" ,
but than I've got next question, something like "do you want to merge data or you want to overwrite your phone" and I've pressed "merge" by accident
Now....is there any way back from it? How I can get data from all apps back to my phone ?
All app's are there, but all of them are empty ! Please help!

A question about restoring from cold backup(control file backup not clear)

Hi,
I had another question about restoring the cold backup. My database is in noarchivelog mode and after taking a consistent cold backup, all I need to do is to restore the backup right? -Why I got this question is because: when I backup my control file to trace, I see statements like this:-----
-- Commands to re-create incarnation table
-- Below log names MUST be changed to existing filenames on
-- disk. Any one log file from each branch can be used to
-- re-create incarnation records.
-- ALTER DATABASE REGISTER LOGFILE '/uo1/app1/arch1_1_647102958.dbf';
-- Recovery is required if any of the datafiles are restored backups,
-- or if the last shutdown was not normal or immediate.
RECOVER DATABASE
-- Database can now be opened normally.
ALTER DATABASE OPEN;
My database is in noarchivelog mode now so don't know why these statements (of register the logfile) is there in the backup of control file? so when I restore the cold backup of this database, it will still work correct? (there is no logfile I have only CRD files in cold backup -no archive log files.)
thanks

A question about restoring from an old Time Machine backup

My computer has been acting very slow and freezing frequently lately. The spotlight background processess keep hogging the processor, and
It keeps getting catalog b-Tree corruption. I've already done one complete reformat of my drive and a restore from a time machine backup hoping it would fix things, and that didn't work.
I tried a complete reinstall and used the migration assistant to move all my files and settings from my time machine back over to it.
That worked for about a week, then had b-Tree corruption that could only be fixed with disk warrior.
I was suspecting a hardware problem, but I have done thourogh tests of my Ram with memtest from single user mode, and a disk surface scan with Tech Tool Deluxe. Everything checks out.
I am thinking there is some corrupt system file or setting that is getting reinstalled from my Time machine backup that is messing things up.
This all is a leadup to my question:
I would like to try restoring from a much older Time Machine back up (6 months ago or so before I started experiencing problems).
If I do that, can I still use Time Machine to restore individual files and directories from later backups?
I'd like my system settings and applications to be from six months ago, but my desktop files and documents to be from my most recent backup.
Thanks,
-Matt

Yeah, I usually check the FAQs before posting a question.
They do talk about how to restore from an older back up, but not about what happens to your newer files once you have done it. They also talk about accessing files from another computer's time machine backup, but its not clear if that would work on a different fork of the same machine.
I may just have to learn from experience, but I don't want to risk losing any data.
I do recommend time machine though. Its saved me several times.
If anyone else has experience with this let me know.
Thanks,
-Matt

Questions about "Restore System From Time Machine"

Looking to fix an apparent system corruption problem on my work machine, I discovered the "Utilities > Restore System From Time Machine" option of the Leopard installation disc. I have some questions that are not answered in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1177:
1. Does this option erase the hard drive and install a fresh system from DVD, or do I need to do that in a separate step?
2. What about software updates - when are they applied?
3. Will third-party system extensions be reinstalled OK?
4. I tried launching the process on my home machine, just to see how it works. At work I have a dedicated disk for Time Machine, but at home I have a Time Capsule, serving two Macs via Ethernet. I've also configured the TC to give us a shared volume; so in normal operation I have two network volumes, <Username>, containing Time Machine's sparsebundle file for that user's Mac, and "Shared". When I boot from the installation DVD and run "Utilities > Restore System From Time Machine", the backup volume list only shows the "Shared" volume. If I select it, I'm prompted for my TC username and password; I enter it, TC spins up, and then nothing. I cannot continue the restoration process, and reselecting the "Shared" volume does nothing. ???
Thanks in advance for your help.
-- Phil

For the record, here's what I've found out so far:
1. The "Restore System From Time Machine" option seems to want to restore everything, including the system, from the Time Machine backup. I wanted a clean system install, so I did an "Erase & install" followed by a "Restore from Time Machine" in the Migration Assistant. That got me most, but not all, of my settings back; exceptions include the printer configurations, the desktop picture, and the Dock settings.
2. Software updates can be applied after the new system is rebooted.
3. Most 3rd party extensions seem to have been restored OK, but some (like MacFuse) were not.
4. I'd still be grateful for any hints concerning how to get "Restore from Time Machine" to work with a Time Capsule.

New Mac user. Question about restoring Lion

I've had my Macbook Air for a few months now (just after the last refresh) and I love it, but I was just curious about something.. I recently had to format my PC laptop and afterwords realized some of the stock programs such as my DVD burning software etc were gone. I swore I had a disc that had all that stuff on there, but I was wrong.
My question is, my Macbook Air came with iMovie & the iLife applications and I really don't wanna lose that stuff if I ever need to restore my Macbook for whatever reason. I know I can do backups, but with Mountain Lion coming out I might wanna do a clean install of it. I guess since this is my first time ever dealing with this I was curious if I would lose that stuff or how it all works since I wasn't given a restore disc or whatever. I know I can just redownload purchased applications from the AppStore, but I never purchased iMovie, Photobooth, iPhoto etc and I really REALLY don't wanna have to buy them just because I restored. So yea...how does it all work? Thanks

The smartest thing you should do is backup your system on a regular basis. If you do this when you do a clean install you will have all your apps, data files, settings etc. I would recommend creating a clone of your system at least weekly (I do mine nightly) using SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner . Also Apple covers the subject of recovery in a couple of advice letters Lion Recovery Disk Assistant & Lion Recovery, OS X Lion: About . Look these over for additional information.

Question about restoring from Time Machine backup because of new SSD

Hi,
I have a 15" Late 2011 MacBook Pro running 10.10.1 with a Toshiba hard drive inside. I want to replace the Toshiba HDD with a Crucial MX100 SSD. I use a Time Capsule to backup. After I install the SSD, I would want to restore my data to the new SSD using my Time Capsule, but I have a few questions:
1) My Mac shipped with OS X 10.7; My Mac is running OS X 10.10.1; Should I use Internet Recovery to start the restore (even though when I start OS X Internet Recovery it will download 10.7 recovery), or should I use a USB drive to start Recovery?
2) After booting into Recovery, do I format/partition the SSD into 1 partition, GUID partition table, Mac OS Extended Journaled, etc before restoring using Time Capsule?
3) Do I need to use Trim? Please tell me your opinion on the OS X Yosemite and Cindori Trim Enabler controversy.
4) How do I install Recovery HD on my new SSD?
5) Please tell me all tips you have about this entire process.
Thanks,
Mike

The ability to load OS X Internet Recovery is provided by firmware independent of the SSD. Just make sure your MBP has the latest firmware, which was released years ago.
You won't need a separate step to install OS X. Answered more completely in (2).
Merely format the SSD Use Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) and as many partitions as you desire. One is sufficient.
Only Crucial can answer that. You might be better off purchasing a SSD from a company known to support Macs, such as OWC / MacSales. I have several of their SSD products and haven't had to devote a moment of thought to Trim.
That's done by virtue of the Recovery firmware. It will recognize that no Recovery partition exists and will create one, after which you won't have to use OS X Internet Recovery (though it will remain an option).
If you obtain your SSD from OWC that's really all you need to know. Mechanically, it's not much more complicated than installing memory. As far as recovering the original HD's contents, restoring from the Time Machine backup is also straightforward. TM doesn't know and doesn't care that it's a SSD.

IPod touch 4th gen question about restoring to factory settings

I smashed the screen on my sons iPod still working but I bought a new one for him. I synced/backed up the smashed one and then connected the new one to the computer (iTunes) and restored it to the apps photos etc from the old one. We run on wi-fi. Now both iPods are working with all the same stuff on them both have the same apple Id and password and are synced to each ogher. My question is if I restore the old one to factory settings on the actual device will it also restore the new one?? Please help and Thankyou for your time anyone who replies.

No. How you sync one iPod does not affect the other. The same goes for restoring your iPod. It will have no affect on the other one.

Question about restore from Timemachine

Today, I did a restore from Time Machine of my "Pictures" folder. I was surprised to see that it blessed and renamed the "new" Pictures folder, "Pictures (original)". Is this normally what it does ie rename a folder like this. Moreover, the folder name seems read only, and defies any attempt to rename it just "Pictures". Any insight would be welcome.
Thanks in advance and a happy upcoming New Year to all.

Well, after about 20 hrs its done "processing" and all is in order. So I guess when you do a full restore from TimeMachine it acts like a new import.

Hey guys.... quick question about Restoring..

I presently have a blackberry pearl 8100 for tmobile. And I just bought a BB Curve 8320..which should be arriving some time next week..My question is..can I use my present restores or backups on my bb curve? because i have alot of text messages I want to keep..
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You are welcome
When you have restored your messages on the new device go to Messages, open menu and select
Options - General Options
Find the field "Keep messages"
and set it to "Forever"
Otherwise BlackBerry will delete old messages from time to time.

Question about restoring from Time Machine

Hi Everyone, first post so i'll make it a simple one.
Thankfully, i have never had to restore too much from my back up (TM) drive, Photos/maybe a movie etc... But i always keep an up to date backup, just in case.
Does anyone know whether or not when you restore an application, for example, if time machine will restore all the necessary preferences/additional information?
Also, I have a new Macbook Pro on the way. I've read up about moving my photos/music over to a new machine. But how would be a good way of moving applications? I'm not sure if i can move Aperture etc... over and keep the full licensed copy i got way back when it first came out?
Basically, will time machine be the solution i need to get my new mac, full of everything i had on my old one?
Many thanks.
Rich.

Be sure you have a full, complete recent back-up of your old system on Time Machine (don't exclude any files or folders). Then, with your Time Machine back-up drive attached, put in the install disk that will come with your new machine, choose your language, and on the next page choose restore from back-up, selecting your most up-to-date TM backup. That should give you the exact same machine on your new computer as your old one.

Questions about punchout catalogs in SRM 7.0

1) Does SRM use any encryption when sending the catalog URL and the user ID and password to the punchout catalog.
2) When the Punch out catalog sends back the data to SRM, are we exposing the SRM server to internet? (opening up a port etc)
This could be a possible security risk
3) How is session management handled? suppose 3 users are using the catalog simultaneously, how does the punchout catalog know , which items to transfer , where?
4) How can we ensure that the punchout vendor is charging the correct prices as agreed in the contract and not changing them?
5) If it is decided that all the items in the catalog be stored as product masters in SRM and a contract is maintained for them, is it possible to do a price check against that contract , at run time when the shopping cart is created ?
6) Can the UNSPSC code sent by the vendor in the OCI data be stored in a std field in the shopping cart?

Hi Kedar,
1) For enabling the xml variant of the oci, we need to pass two parameters in the call structure.
~xmltype = ESAPO3.5
~xmlDocument -????
What should be the value of the xmlDocument parameter?
As per the Document :"In this parameter the XML file that must correspond to one of the schemas above is transferred as a Base64-coded character set."
So should it be a file name or file path??
Also where do we get the file ? Could you provide an example of this parameter maintained in SRM?
The value is as defined, it looks for the schema used, in the case of ESAP0-3.5 it should be the OpenCatalogInterface.xsd as defined in the documentation. I will attach the xsd for you to see, it should refer to the xml file contained within the HTML form submitted
2) Does the OCi support any version of xml, provided a suitable reference file is provided? can it support pidx or cxml?
I am not sure here, basically, we take the xml document passed and move it into the integration engine where it is parsed using the transformation BBP_OCI_XML_TO_RFC, i.e. inside function MAP_XML_TO_ITABS we call this if the xmltype = ESAP0-3.5
IF xml_type = 'ESAPO-3.5'.
Transfrom OCI XML data via XSLT to RFC structures
    TRY.
        CALL TRANSFORMATION bbp_oci_xml_to_rfc
          SOURCE XML IV_XML_DOCUMENT
          RESULT sc_items = lt_sc_items.
      CATCH CX_ROOT INTO lr_exception.
     CATCH cx_xslt_runtime_error.
        RAISE xslt_failure.
    ENDTRY.
ENDIF.
I guess if the XML type is not interpreted then you'll get an xslt failure
3) When the supplier is sending the UNSPSC code, which field in the shopping cart is it copied?
I didn't see any field by the name External category ID in the std. shopping cart. Is this copied to the Product category field?
It is (I think, I haven't fully checked this in the coding) reffered to the Product Category field, the mapping for external product category is decided in Form map_product_category
IF NOT iv_ext_schema_type IS INITIAL OR
     NOT iv_ext_category_id IS INITIAL.
    PERFORM get_external_category_guid USING iv_ext_schema_type
                                             iv_ext_category_id
                                    CHANGING cv_category_guid
                                             cv_error.

Question about system catalog tables in oracle 11g database

We have a customer issue and in order to trobleshoot that we need following information. We would really appreciate any input. I opened SR with support and they asked me to open a discussion here. Please see following.
what is the meaning of the part# column of the sys.tabpart table and what are the possible values that can be entered into this system catalog table. Our findings are that Oracle may have varied the meaning of this column as the data that we are seeing returned is now > 2gig which does not make sense for a partition number.
Our stored procedures use this information to retrieve information from the Oracle system tables to process a partitioned Oracle table. Our research has found that the limited description for this table (and columns) can be found in the following Oracle member at the following location:
dpart.bsq --> ...... oracle database path... \RDMS\ADMIN folder
The comment within this file notes the following:
" this value is "partition number (see discussion below)"
However, there is no additional discussion to describe what the value means and the possible variations. We need this information to move forward with our problem diagnosis and
to see what kind of updates we need to make for our stored procedures....
Thanks a lot in advance.
Avni

I ran the following....
list expired archivelog all; - This showed all of the archivelogs that we were not able to validate...
delete expired archivelog all; This deleted the expired archivelogs that were reported from the previous command...
I then crosschecked the archivelogs by running the following:
crosscheck archivelog all;
Thank you for your help!

Question about Restoring from an iTunes Backup

I just did a restore from an iTunes backup on my iPhone 5 and noticed that the restore process seemed different than before. iTunes went through the restore process and once it appeared that it had finished restoring, I went to the home screen and all of my apps from the previous backup were missing. Then iTunes went into the syncing process and I saw each of the apps download onto the home screen one by one. Before I thought the restore process covered all of this in one action, whereas now it seems to do the first part of the restore then the app syncing. Is this what a normal restore from iTunes backup looks like?

Question about restoring from backup

The local Apple store swapped out my iphone 4 for a new one yesterday because of issues with the headphone jack. When I restored from backup, all texts, contacts, call records, etc. moved over perfectly. However, it didn't copy my books, music or photo album (my camera roll is intact, just not my photo album). I was essentially able to recreate them, but was wondering if I should change any sync settings. Thanks.

No iTunes content on your iPhone is included with your iPhone's backup - no music, movies, tv shows, podcasts, 3rd party apps, or books, and the same for photos transferred from your computer. This data should remain on your computer so it isn't necessary to include this data with your iPhone's backup taking up double the storage space for this data on your computer's hard drive.
Your selections under the various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes should be included with your iPhone's backup. After the backup for a previous iPhone is transferred to a new iPhone or after an iPhone is restored with iTunes from the iPhone's backup, this must be followed by a sync with iTunes to transfer your selections under the various tabs for your iPhone's sync preferences with iTunes back to your iPhone, which should be automatic when transferring a backup to a new iPhone and when restoring an iPhone from the iPhone's backup.
