Refurb MCP did not import newest backup

I just received a refurb 2013 MCP and used Time Machine with an external HD to migrate my old system. I had MavericKs installed and iPhoto 11 and the last back up was 2 days ago. After Time Machine finished Mavericks was not installed in the new MCP,  I was received an eror that my iPhoto was out of date (and had no way to update it-icon was grayed out with circle and bar across it). I also had to download iTunes and reinstall; which I wondered why I could not do this with iPhoto -downloading it gave me a new iphoto but none of my photos. In mail I noticed that all mail was 10 days old so it seeemd to also have used an older back up. Please help. I am thinking I will erase and restore to the original system on the newer MCP and try again but do not know how to insure a successful transfer-except with USB cables and do it directly.

After Time Machine finished Mavericks was not installed in the new MCP
Then I suggest you install it.

  • I lost my iTunes library on my pc when the hard drive crashed. None of the data on the drive was recoverable and I did not have a backup. How can I get the music that resides on my ipod nano (4th generation back onto the new hard drive on my pc.

    I lost my iTunes library on my pc when the hard drive crashed. None of the data on the drive was recoverable and I did not have a backup either locally or on the cloud. Much of the music is from old vinyl and podcasts which are no longer available.
    How can I get the music that resides on my ipod nano (4th generation) back onto the new hard drive on my pc.
    I have been reluctant to install iTunes on the new hard drive out of fear that I will lose all the contents on the ipod if I try to synch to the new hard drive.
    Help!

    No backup is a huge mistake.

    how do i get a recovery disk or download for os 10.5.8?  my system was installed by an apple store when replacing my hard drive.  i did not get a backup disk.  macbook is a 1.1 from mid 2006 and 10.5.8 is as far as i can go..  use this as a utility backup when my new macbook pro with mt lion screws something up---which seems like a daily event. do i have to install a lesser version of leopard then install the update.  does software update even work anymore for leopard?  im so in the dark and when i look at the console i just freak.

    Hello, your best bet would be to clone your drive to an external drive, which will be bootable.

  • Photos did not import iPhotos library

    When I first launched Photos it did not import my old iPhotos library.  How do I get Photos to import the old iPhotos library, there does not appear to be an option to do so. I can hold down the option button and launch Photos and choose the old iPhotos library but it just opens it and does not import it into the main new Photos library.

    Ok, here is what I had to do.
    open Photos while holding the Option key
    select the old iPhotos library, Photos will now do it's conversion
    after converting close Photos (this step may not be needed, but it's what I did)
    open Photos, making sure it's using the just converted library (you can rename the library if you want to in Finder)
    select Preferences->General->Use as System Photo Library
    Everything seems to be ok now.

    Are you using a separate Apple ID on each device?
    Are you syncing it with your home computer?
    For photos and some other things just go to Settings>iCloud and deleted the iCloud account or use a different Apple ID for the account
    If you sync to your computer use the manual method
    Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
    Go to Settings>iTunes and App store and turn off automatic downloaid and turn off SHOW ALL
    But to really help we need to more how yo use the school device and the ID used on the device

  • I backup to an external hdd with Time Machine, when it ran out of space it did not delete old backups, now my internal hdd says its full when before it had heaps of space. I have searched for extra files but cant find any. Can anyone help, please.

    I backup to an external hdd with Time Machine, when it ran out of space it did not delete old backups, now my internal hdd says its full when before it had heaps of space. I have searched for extra files but cant find any. Can anyone help, please.

    First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
    To locate large files, you can use Spotlight as described here. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
    You can also use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
    Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
    ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means.
    When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

  • 24 minute video did not import

    this and another video did not import. all the regular photos did.
    video from another camera imported a video earlier so I know its working.
    did not get any error message that the file was too big, etc.
    Ideas as to why the videos did not import? File too big? If so, how to fix?
    The videos are on a card on a Nikon Coolpix camera.

    thx. most videos taken are 1-3 minutes. One of the kids cranked out a long video and no one knew what to do about it. Never knew about image capture. Thx for the help. All the vids downloaded fine as you instructed.

  • My AOL did not import my address book on my new IPad.  Any tips?

    I installed AOL but it did not import my address book.  I've tried everything I can think of.  Any ideas?

    Have you tried killing the task? Double click your home button, hold your finger down on the icon until you get a red minus sign, then click it to kill the task. Also try turning your wireless off then back on, rebooting it or reset your network settings on it. Let me know if any of this helps!

  • New LR5 did not import LR4 pictures

    I've read several other threads regarding this and none seem to answer a very basic question:
    I have thousands upon thousands of pictures in LR4 that did not automatically go into LR5 just now (no import window opened up when I first started the program).
    Is there some way I can just get it all done at once?

    Okay, found it. There were so many .lrcat files to pick from, but apparently the rest were all backups. It's working now. Thank you for your help, but I had one more question:
    Once this is done in a few minutes and I make sure it's all within LR5, is it reasonably safe to get rid of the .lrcat backups and the main one as well?

  • My hard drive crashed. I slaved the old drive, but did not make a backup of my bookmarks. how can I transfer my bookmarks from the old drive to the new one?

    My original hard drive was replaced due tom multiple errors. Before it crashed completely, I installed a new hard drive and slaved the old one to allow me to access the data and transfer it to the new one. I did not backup the bookmarks. How can I pull the old bookmarks from the old drive to the new installation drive???

    Since you said you were able to transfer the data from your old drive to the new one, you probably still have the old Firefox Profile. Please read this article to see if it helps:

  • Iphoto albums did not import to photos app

    I updated to OS X 10.10.3 as suggested.  This replaces iPhoto with the Photos app.  The Photos app said it was adapting my iPhoto library to Photos.  I have 15,700 photos.  The process was very slow so I left it running. 
    When I returned several hours later, the Photos app was open but had no library.  I was offered the 4 basic options including import.  When trying to import photos, the finder window showed the old iPhoto library, but it was greyed out.  How do I get my 15,700 iPhoto images into Photos?

    Don't use the import panel, switch to your iPhoto Library.
    Either drag the iPhoto Library to the Photos icon in the Dock,
    or quit Photos, then hold down the alt/options key while double clicking the Photos icon in the Dock.  Select the iPhoto Library from the Library chooser panel.
    Photos should have migrated your library automatically, Either it did not migrate the correct library, because your iPhoto Library could not be found or opened, or your iPhoto Library has a corruption.
    Where is your iPhoto Library stored? In the default location, your Pictures folder, or on an external drive?  If external drive, is the filesystem correct (MacOS Extended (Journaled)) or do you keep the library in a partition that is formatted for Windows?  Is the drive locally mounted or a network volume?

  • CC 2014 did not import all preset

    I migrated several presets and everything worked sort off. Importing did not work completely. I have a lot of custom patterns, that where not migrated over. What can be done to correct this problem?

    If you have saved pattern sets in  *.pat files you can load these into Photoshop. If you the source files you can define the patterns again. If you still have Photoshop CC installed you can try copying your CC preferences patterns to your CC 2014 Preferences. On Windows 7 the file on cc is:
    "C:\Users\UserID\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC\Adobe Photoshop CC Settings\Patterns.psp" you would copy that to:
    "C:\Users\UserID\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 Settings\Patterns.psp"

  • Virtual Copies did not import with images

    I imported a large group of images from last October and 14 of them had virtual copies created from them, mainly the final copies of images I was using. When imported into a new catalog I created in Lightroom 4 beta, only the raw files came over, not the virtual copies. I do notice that they have all been updated to the 2012 process and I did not tell it to do that. Could this be the problem and do I need to remove and reimport them? This could be a big problem for me as I really like to use Virtual Copies. Thanks for your help.

    Virtual copies are kept only in the Catalogue. They won't be in the xmp data of the master files. They will, however be in the converted catalogue that you'll get when you start using the release version of LR4.
    The other problem (all 2012 process version) seems like it was probably caused by your not writing out the metadata into your master files while they were part of your LR3 catalogue. You might need to do that in LR3 and re-import in LR4.
    Note: it's a bad idea to use the same master files in each catalogue. Make copies and import those in LR4. Much safer.

  • I added another email address to my computer but firefox did not import the bookmarks for the new email address

    I have firefox as my default browser (formerly it was internet explorer), and I use earthlink total access as my sign-in home page and email. I added my wife's profile to this computer, and during this procedure the bookmarks for her account are imported also. But when we sign in with her access, the home page displays correctly for her earthlink profile but the firefox bookmarks keep coming up with my bookmarks and toolbar instead of hers. I do not understand why firefox is not acknowledging this new profile with the correct bookmarks.

    Thanks for your response. We originally had internet explorer as our browser, I use a laptop and my wife uses a pc. both have windows xp. The Earthlink total access is a software we downloaded years ago which gives a homepage format with email access and some other features. The IE toolbar is shown at the top of the page and has a tab for bookmarks. Whenever we switched computers (both have Earthlink access formats for each of us) the screen would show the proper bookmarks for the given sign-in person.
    Then we changed to Firefox, and it recognized these IE bookmarks, mine on the laptop, and my wife's on the pc. Now I added her sign-in Earthlink setup so she could use the laptop, but the bookmarks on the laptop show my bookmarks and my firefox toolbar. We did not change anything else, and when we had IE this was automatic for whichever of us was signed in to the device via Earthlink account. The bookmark data was already on the laptop for each of us, yet Firefox does not switch it over as IE did. So I wonder why Firefox does not behave as IE did for browser features
