Reimporting movies when doing clean install

So I want to do a clean install of Leopard from 10.4.11 and have a bunch of movies/projects saved in iMovie '08 that are also shared on my .mac gallery page. I want to be able to reimport those movies/projects into iMovie once I complete the clean install of Leopard and reinstall iLife from my original system DVDs without losing anything. How do I go about doing this? Everything is currently saved in the default locations.

Update :
OK, I managed to install XP SP3 on the machine, but the only way to do this so far is by setting the BIOS option for the SATA to "Compatibility" mode so that it sees the controller as the traditional one, for which Windows XP SP3 has it's default driver.
I will give below a try ( even though I have tried installing it with an external floppy drive :

If you do not have a diskette drive, you can install Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver by the following alternative procedure:
Start the BIOS Setup Utility menu.
Select Config.
Select Serial ATA (SATA).
Select Compatibility.
Install Windows XP and Service Pack 2.
Download Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver from the Web site and extract the driver to C:\DRIVERS\WIN\IMSM.
Run Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver. To do this, go to C:\DRIVERS\WIN\IMSM\PREPARE, and double-click install.cmd.
Turn the computer off and then on again.
Start the BIOS Setup Utility menu.
Select Config.
Select Serial ATA (SATA).
Select AHCI.
Start Windows XP. The Welcome to the Found New Hardware Wizard appears.
Click No, not this time and click Next.
Select Install from a list or specific location(Advanced), then click Next.
Select Search for the best driver in these locations. Then select Include this location in the search:, specify the path, C:\DRIVERS\WIN\IMSM, and click Next. The Completing the Found New Hardware Wizard appears.
Click Finish.
When the System Settings Change window appears, click Yes. The computer restarts.
I'll keep you posted on the outcome of this.

Doing clean install but logic studio does not work. Getting Error message

I have my box Logic Studio 9 upgrade but it will not install on my SSD. Final cut and all other reinstalls worked. Cannot install LP 7 because it is a PPC

Hi
First, get rid of your designer, the page design/code is a mess.
There are a number of problems with the page, not least being the disabling of the back button in all browsers I tested it in, (visitors may visit once with this, but are unlikely to do so a 2nd time).
The menu system is a fixed size so that when the browser is resized it overflows the browser window.
The use of tables for layout is not recommended as it is inaccessible to users using assistive devices.
To put this more politely, if you paid for this, ask for your money back. If you did not pay, then start again and use one of the dreamweaver layouts for your page, for more info, see - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/introducing_new_css_layouts.html.

Acrobat X Pro no longer edits pdf's after doing clean install going from 10.9 to 10.10 on mac.

all other suite programs seem to work just fine. Just not Acrobat X. Was install from upgrade serials numbers. Acrobat X does not work well using Yosemite for me.....

I am not able to edit scanned documents that once could. They were scanned in as PDF files. The files that I once could edit in Acrobat x Pro are no longer editable. Past PDF's that I used change dates and resend no work. I did a clean install going from maverick 10.9 to yosemite 10.10 due to an issue with third party program. Since the clean install I have not been able to see or work on older adobe files that I once could. Everything that had a adobe icon attach to it has disappeared and been replaced with an apple pdf icon. It will not let me select areas as I once could to even copy and paste.
Thanks-

How backup/save software installed on T400 before doing clean install of Windows 7?

Hi
I have a Thinkpad T400 2764-CTO Running Vista Business 32-bit and want to do a clean install to Windows 7 Pro.
Sounds like I can get all the drivers via System Update 4.0, but I'm concerned about how to save/re-install some of the software that came on the machine.
In particular, Intervideo WinDVD and Roxio Media Import. If I go to my Programs folder and copy the folders for Roxio and InterVideo onto a flash drive, and then re-copy into the Programs folder on the C drive after a clean install, does that work?
I've never used Rescue and Recovery on the laptop, and am not sure how it works. Any advice is appreciated.
I'm not sure I even know all the stuff that exists from the factory. Anything else I should be concerned about? Thanks! - Kathleen

"In particular, Intervideo WinDVD and Roxio Media Import. If I go to my Programs folder and copy the folders for Roxio and InterVideo onto a flash drive, and then re-copy into the Programs folder on the C drive after a clean install, does that work?"
As Maliha said (or implied) that doesn't work. Just copying installed programs doesn't set up the registry entries or any data folders and files they may use in your user files.
You might consider copying your entire user directory to large flash or DVD or external hard drive as a way to preserve your personal data and program data files. Things like Thunderbird mail or Firefox bookmarks are in C:\users\kathleenklein\appdata\... (which may not be visible unless you make them so) and can be plugged back into your Windows 7 install.
"I've never used Rescue and Recovery on the laptop, and am not sure how it works. Any advice is appreciated."
First, have you made your factory recovery media? That ensures that you can revert to factory Lenovo setup if you ever want to. To give the machine to your little brother, for instance. It will burn a pair of CDs and one or more DVDs.
You can/should also use R&R to save a current whole-disk image to external media. That lets you fall back to your current setup if necessary. This is likely to be fairly large. An external hard drive is usually required. Use advanced R&R to set up the target and start things off. Once you are sure that Win 7 is going to work for you, you can get rid of the saved Vista image and use the drive for your Windows 7 backups. You do make backups...
R&R can't (AFAIK) save your Vista user stuff and restore it to WIn 7.
Is this a clean install using Lenovo media or is it Microsoft vanilla? I just did a MS Vanilla 7 install. Since the service and recovery partitions in the Lenovo Visa drive configuration will be useless in a WIn 7 install (if MS vanilla) I used the advanced option and had the Win 7 install delete all partitions and just do its thing. It created a small boot partition and used the rest of the drive for C:
After installing '7, install the latest TVSU and let it pull down the basic/necessary Lenovo drivers and apps. After that you may choose to install the latest R&R. Surprisingly, it can be used to make backups even without the Lenovo partitions present. I've verified that by making a full image and restoring to a bare drive.
It's handy to Install '7, do a MS update, install TVSU, do a Lenovo update, install R&R and then burn a recovery set of CDs and DVDs so you can rewind to a sort of base-usefull-initially-updated condition should that be necessary.
As you probably already know, start here for your Lenovo Win 7 downloads: ThinkVantage Technologies Updates

Will ILife 2011 be there when I clean install Mac os x Lion?

Before I clean install Mac os X lion. Will ilife be there when I'm finshed installing? and with all the intel graphic drivers, do i have to install the driver updates?

No. To do a clean install you have to wipe the HD or bootable volume. BTW, before installing Lion, you should make a bootable backup/clone of your current SL installation so you can go back if the installationi doesn't turn out. IMO, there's no need to do the so-called clean install.

Serial Number not suitable for movement when doing goods issue or sto ?

Dear all ,
I have a issue , when doing sto or goods issue ,
i have a material code serial number profile is off physical quantity is laying 20 and my requirement is active the serial no
and assign to serial number for the material ,
Tcode is iq01 put the material , serial number and category after save when i am doing ma1a putting material ,quantity
and that serial number click on save , geting error like
Stock data of serial number 1234 not suitable for movement
when i am checking iq02 serial number is showing but checking in MMbe there is not showing
Regards
Shiv

hello,
to activate the serial numbers you first have to clear all the stock for this material (MVT 562 / 502 or other)
Than activate the serial in the material muster.
in your situation (if i understood correctly) what you need is:
1. disable the serial numbers for the material (move them to another material)
2. deactivate the serial number in the material master
3. get rid of all the stack - post it with 562 or 502
4. activate serial numbers
5. post the material back to stock - 561 / 501 - than the system will require a serial number for each unit

Using jmf when doing an install

I would suggest you search for some of the good discussions about the hows and whys of redirecting content. There is a lot of information out there that I do not have the time at the moment to summerize here. But to make one brief point.
You can never 'nuke' a redirect once you put one in place and NOT risk getting 404 errors. Working with the assumption that your users have been notified that the page is moved AND that all users who have been such notified bothered to update their bookmarks. That still leaves out the set of users who may not have visited your page in the time frame that the redirect page existed. They will then get the dreaded 404 error because they where never told to update their bookmarks. This also does not account for users who are comming from old links from other web sites, printed material, or anywhere else the URL may have been published.
It is also possibe (but I'm not sure any current browser does this) that the client tool can automatically update a saved URI with new URI when it receives a proper permenant redirect. That is the way the standard reads at least.

Resizing Mountain Lion Partition after doing CLEAN Install

How do you resize the Mountain Lion partition to take up the majority of disk space? I'm happy with ML and want to use it as my *Primary* instead of Lion. I can't figure out how to increase the ML partition but still keep a small partition dedicated to Lion incase anything ever goes wrong with ML. HELP!!!!

more than like likely you will need to reinstall the OS X by holding down command + R when the computer starts.
Hello Carlo,
Thanks for your second response. However, I think it won't be of much help since essentially, I will be downloading the same 10.8.2 installer available from the Mac App Store which more than likely will have the same long shutdown issue. I think this is more of a problem with OS X 10.8.2 given that I did not experience this issue with OS X Mountain Lion 10.8 (GM Build 12A269) which also was released on the Mac App Store.
In addition, I am backing up my findings due to the fact that a good amount of users are experiencing long shutdown times after installing the OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2 update:

After doing clean install on Lenovo Thinkpad W541 I have lost access to CD/DVD burning Software

Where can I get it back? I don't personally need it, but I burn CDs every now and then for my parents because they are still kind of old-school.

Worst case, just install IMGBurn. Should be perfectly adequate.
Just be sure to do "custom install" and opt out of OpenCandy (or be running Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, which will automatically prevent it). Sorry... the product is fine, but like many vendors the "bundle" is crap.

Doing clean install upgrade to windows 8.1 want to install my copies of premiere elements 11

Go to the main page of adobe.com and look for my adobe and work your way through the links there. You should still have download links in your orders section.

Clean install of ios 6 or upgrade

When iOS 6 comes out wish is the best way in doing it clean install? Or upgrade?
I have nevere done a clean install on a iPad. Be for. So I would like too no what would a clean install do? And do I need to do any thing after the clean install other then too put back all my info I have the new iPad

It is infact possible to do something analogous to a "clean" install of iOS 6. it involves restoring the device on itunes, then upgrading once iOS 6 is out in your area. I'm not sure if there are any real benefits, but anecdotally, I've percieved better performance after restoring my iPad (I've only restored to the same OS version, however). When doing the install, be sure to have the latest version of iTunes as well. Here's a link to a recent article at Macworld.com which guides you through the installation, just scroll down to "Restore versus Update" section:
http://www.macworld.com/article/2010061/hands-on-with-ios-6-installation.html
And to reititerate, it's a good idea to backup before updating.
Have fun!

Can I clean-install MBP 17" C2D 2,1 (currently using OS X 10.5.8) with OS X 10.7.4?

I want to clean-install my old MBP 17" 2.1 (9L31a) but i've lost my OS X DVD. I figured that even after a software update it still uses OS X 10.5.8. My questions is now what will happen when i clean-install this old MBP with OS X 10.7.4 (since this is the only IO X i now can download from app store)? or should i better find a way to get the old OS X 10.5.8? i will give the MBP to my dad and he will mainly use it for surfing, emailing and some text-editing, means it doesn't have to be the most advanced sytem, but clean and fast would be good
thanks for your help in advanced

You can call Apple with the Serial# handy, & possibly get the original Install Discs cheap, or...

    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation

Can someone please upload the original downloads stack .doc file that comes default with a clean install?

Can someone please upload the Downloads Stack.doc file to somewhere for me to download? The document detailing how the downloads stack works. I deleted it by accident hoping to free up space but figured out that the dowloads stack now looks horrible without it. So, can someone please upload it? Thanks. The document with the green down arrow that comes with your mac when you clean install the OS. I don't exactly want to clean install Mountain Lion just for the document so... yeah.

It is not a doc file, but a pdf.
Here it is for you. I'll leave it up for 24 hours, or until you indicate you have it (whichever comes first).

Replace HDD on W510 + clean install and transfer OEM licence

Hi,
I've bought a new thinky W510 and as always I wanted to start with a clean install.
Normally I insert the OEM DVD of W7, type in the OEM licence of the machine and do a clean install.
To my surprise, neither the OEM DVD of W7 nor the OEM licence is present.
How am i suppose to do a clean install or replace the standard HDD by another one (say SSD)?
Since I already paid for a W7 licence, I should receive my licence and install media.
Regards,
Sven Peeters
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
As far as I know, no manufacturer ships OEM DVD of any OS today, if you want to do clean installation then you would need to buy installation media which is fairly cheap, it's even (legally) available for download (the link also includes installation instructions). As for license key, it's under the battery compartment.
Before doing clean install, I'd suggest making recovery discs first.
Hope this helps.

How do you do a Clean install lion

How do you do a clean install of lion? My iMac is 8 yr old and has gotten sluggish. At one point it was suggested that I might want to do a clean install but no one ever told me how to do that since we don't have a disk!

Assuming you already have Lion installed, boot into Recovery Mode (Command-R). From there you can reinstall Lion. Note, however, that a clean install means you first erase the drive you want to do the clean install on, and unless you have a complete backup of everything that's currently on it, you'll lose it all; the clean install will leave you with a fresh operating system but nothing else. To get it all back, make that external clone, then when the clean install is finished on the internal, Setup Assitant will run and you can point it at the external clone to get all your stuff back.
