Reinstall iphoto after hard disk exchange

I have had my hard disc exchanged by an Apple repair shop and now I can not find iPhoto and iMovie anymore! Anybody to have a hint to regain these two app? Thank you

reinstall from the original source
Could be
1 - the restore disks that came with the computer - if it came with CDs and you do not know where they are then contact Apple to see if they can be replaced
or
2 - the iLife DVD that you purchased
or
3 - the app store - log in under the Apple id used to purchase the software or to set up the computer - look under purchases - you might have to unhide or accept the Application first

Reinstall emailaccounts and emails after hard disk crash ?

Ist there a way to reinstall my email accounts and email after a hard disk crash ?
Have a backup available, but unfortunately not the email settings for the mail program, so i cannot do it via "backup".
How do I get my email accounts and emails (they are available in the library) back in the mail program.
If it is difficult doing it manually is there a program which can help?
Kind regards
Ernest

Problems restoring IPhoto Library after hard disk crash

I had a terminal hard disk crash a couple of months ago. The drive was replaced and new (well older) OS was installed. I have since updated to the current versions of the OS and Iphoto to iPhoto'09. My Documents and Pictures folders had been backed-up separately using Apple's Backup 3. My Documents folder was restored flawlessly, but I have been unable to restore my Pictures folder.
I spent some time with MobleMe support and we were unable to resolve the problem. My iPhoto library was backed-up on 2 occasions: the first was a FullBackup and the second an IncrementalBackup. When I run restore I get the following message:
"Begin restore at 2008-12-02 20:06:45 -0330 An internal application error has occurred. The disk archive could not be attached. End restore at 2008-12-02 20:06:49 -0330"
The MobleMe assistant thought it may have something to do with my user name changing when the new OS was installed. We played with this for a while but got no joy.
MobleMe next suggested that I do a manual restore:
"At this point, it sounds like you will need to try to manually restore it. These errors, such as "An internal application error has occurred. The disk archive could not be attached," can occur if one of the increments in a backup has become damaged and cannot be opened. Here are instructions for manually restoring files:"
Using these instructions they provided I have been able to access most of my photos, but I have not rebuilt my iPhoto Library yet. I have read most of the related posts on this form and there are some helpful tips. The problem I have is that I'm not certain how to bring the pictures back into iPhoto while maintaining some of the organization. My photos are spread across 7 IncrementalBackup files (packages?). Within each of these packages there is an Originals folder. Within the original folders there are several subfolders, and some of these subfolders occur across 2 or more of the Incrementalbackup packages. For example Originals:2005 subfolder occurs in 6 of the 7 backup files.
Finally my questions:
1) I'm still hopeful that I might be able to restore from the backup.
2) If not, I need to know how to recompile the the Originals subfolder system so I can maintain some the the organization, and then how I reipmort back into iPhoto'09
Thanks

That Library is gone. What you need to do now is start over with a new Library.
There is no way to restore your Albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc. This is a completely new beginning.
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library' .
From each of the Originals folders in each of the Back Up packages drag the folders of images to the iPhoto Window. Iphoto will import them and make Event folders from them. It will ask you do you want to import duplicates. Say no.
Only import from the Originals folders. Otherwise you will get massive duplication.

It is not clear if you understand what that message is indicating. It is telling you that you need to identify the older version of whatever CS5.5 upgrade you are installing to prove that you qualify for the upgrade. This could be CS5, CS4, etc.

Reinstall ps cc after hard disk broken

I have to change the hard disk on my pc and can't recover the files. How coul'd reinstall photoshop cc? Now I'm using the second licence on my notebook.

sign in with your adobe id and start downloading onto your new harddrive, https://creative.adobe.com/
when you start to activate on a 3rd computer, you will be prompted to sign out from your other two cc activations (including the one on your damaged hd), thereby maintaining your two (usable) activations.

New MBP i5 does not boot after hard disk swap

Hi there,
I received my new i5 MBP today. After booting it once with the installed HDD to check if it's ok, I exchanged the hard disk for the one in my Late 2008 Macbook Pro. After doing this, my Late 2008 Macbook Pro boots fine with the (new) hard disk from the new i5 MBP, but the i5 MBP does not boot with my old hard disk.
To give you some details:
- I have installed 10.6.3 on the (old) hard disk that's not booting.
- The i5 MBP boots fine from the installation DVD
- Disk utility finds and can read my hard disk, no errors
- PRAM NVRAM reset did not help
- when booting in safe mode, I can see the system stop booting after or while loading Extensions.mkext
My guess is, it tries to boot and load the wrong Extensions for the new system (CPU? GPU?). I have no idea how to fix this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Focx,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Inserting the drive from an earlier model MBP will probably not work. The version of the system you have on that HD is designed for earlier hardware so when you put in in your new machine it's going to be recognized. What I'd recommend is re-installing the disk that came with the new machine and of course putting the 2008's disk back in the old machine. Then use Migration Assistant on the new machine and migrate your data from the old machine into the new machine.
This will provide a much more stable system and should work just fine.
Regards,
Roger

Restoring my computer after hard disk replacement

My iMac hard disks were corrupt and new hard disks were installed today. I now need to restore my computer. The computer is currently going through the process of installing OSX mountain Lion 10.8 and I have a Time machine backup that I want to then import from my time capsule.
My time capsule has the back up from my old hard disks which operated on the latest version of OSX 10.9 Mavericks. Should I upgrade the iMac to 10.9 mavericks before using migration assistant it import the time machine backup, or will it be okay to simply start the migration assistant from within 10.8?
I am pretty confused and nervous - the apple support phone service told me to simply restore the time machine backup from disk utility, but this failed and I subsequently read that this was wrong advice as the backup was from a different computer(ie my old hard disks). I am now desperate to get my computer back working again after a nightmare few weeks of logic board replacement and now hard disk replacement.
Any advice would be appreciated.

It would not be a good idea to restore from the time machine backup, because if your HD was corrupted before it was replaced, then the backups are probably corrupted too. If you try to restore by migrating from that backup, you'll just put corrupted files on your new HD.
The best thing to do would be to:
finish the ML installation
download the Mavericks installer and install Mavericks.
figure out what document files you want to save that are on your TM backup, and copy them to your new HD (not by migration).
reformat (erase) the TM hard drive
reinstall your apps from scratch
once you have everything up and running, then make a new TM backup.
I installed a new HD in my Macbook Pro last year, and I did a clean install like this. It does take a bit more effort but it's worth it. Seems to work better, faster, cleaner, without any problems.
How did your Mac get "corrupted"? This is often due to bad/old/incompatible software, particularly junk like MacKeeper or CleanMyMac, or other worthless, overpriced, completely unnecessary "cleaning" or "maintenance" or "optimizing" applications garbage. If you have anything like this on your Mac, don't even think about reinstalling it.
One thing that I found useful after a few "clean installs" with my Macs was to make a list first of everything that you want to reinstall on your mac, including passwords, essential apps, printer drivers, documents, and the like. Once you start doing the reinstalls it can get confusing so having a list first can keep you on track.

How do I restore my 27" mid-2011 iMac EXACTLY the way it was after hard disk replacement?

Hi all.
Recently received an email from Apple saying that the 1TB Seagate hard drive in my 27" mid-2011 iMac is apt to fail anytime. Apparently they used some bad hard drives in the mid-2011 27" iMacs which are problematic so they're offering me a free replacement to a brand new hard drive. I'll be sending in my iMac for the replacement sometime in the next few days.
In preparation for it, I've backed up my entire system using Time Machine into an external harddrive. The backup is up to date & includes all system files. I've also made a Lion install disk on an 8GB USB flash/pen drive using Carbon Copy Cloner.
My question is: When I get my iMac back after the hard disk replacement, will I be able to restore my iMac to EXACTLY the way it was before the replacement using the Time Machine backup & the Lion install disk that I've prepared? When I mean EXACTLY, I do mean EXACTLY, e.g I don't have to re-install all the programs I have, my settings for the programs I have will stay intact, everything is where it should be etc...i.e EXACTLY the way my iMac is right now.
If yes, how do I do it? I've read Pondini's guide: http://pondini.org/TM/14.html
However it is less than clear on certain points, e.g in my case, which one do I have to use to restore my system to the way it was...the Time Machine backups I have on the external HDD or the Lion install disk that I made using Carbon Copy Cloner? And how do I go about doing the restore?
I'd appreciate any & all help given. Thanks in advance!

baltwo: Thanks for your input! I didn't think of wiping the old HDD before sending it in for the replacement..all those sensitive user data! One question: What's a FWHD?
Already answered. Just note that FW is much faster than USB. See http://help.bombich.com/kb/troubleshooting/how-long-should-the-clone-or-backup-t ake for details.
I already have CCC installed so I'll probably try it out. Are the steps outline here the one that I should do to restore the CCC clone when I get my Mac with the new HDD back? See: http://help.bombich.com/kb/overview/restoring-data-from-your-backup#full_volume_ restore
Yes.
Another question: while I'm booted on the backup/clone, and just after I've wiped the old HDD, how do I reinstall the OS to create a generic user account? Will I have to use a Lion install USB disk?
No. IIRC (if I remember correctly), you can either use a saved Lion installer (hopefully it exists on your backup/clone) or use the Recovery HD. If you have the USB stick w/Lion installer on it, use that.

Music Files Deleted After Hard Disk Failure and First Sync After Hard Disk

Hi,
I recently had a hard disk failure and lost all of the data on my hard drive. I replaced the hard drive and reinstalled all of the software including iTunes. I am running Windows XP Home. The first time I plugged my iPod Nano into my computer after the hard drive replacement it synced to iTunes and since iTunes had no music files it deleted all of the music files on my Nano. How do I get them back and why on earth would iTunes do such a stupid thing??? My Nano contained many songs that I bought from iTunes and I want to get them back. I have found some third party software that will undelete the deleted files but it costs $69. I don't feel that I should have to pay to correct a defective feature in iTunes. Does Apple have an undelete utility? Can I redownload the songs that I purchased from iTunes?

*The first time I plugged my iPod Nano into my computer after the hard drive replacement it synced to iTunes*
When you connected did you get a message that your iPod was linked to another library, and then press Erase and Sync? When an iPod is set to update automatically and you connect to a computer with an empty iTunes and accept the message above it will erase the originals completely (as you have discovered). Also as you've seen, none of the recovery programs are particularly cheap so you have to decide if in your particular circumstances it's worth it to get your songs back. It may be if you have a lot of purchased tracks which you will have to pay to download again. If they came primarily from your CDs then it's most likely not as you can re-rip them.
*Can I redownload the songs that I purchased from iTunes?*
If you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on any of the links on this page you'll find a space at the bottom to email your query: iTMS Customer Service

Songs greyed out after hard disk failure

Hi,
I've been looking though the many, many () posts on here regarding songs greyed out and unplayable but none seem to match my exact problem.
I recent had the hard-disk fail on my macbook so, as a temporary mesasure I had to use a smaller, spare hard-disk I had lying around until I could buy a replacement.
Having de-clutered my life some time ago from keeping my music on CDs I had a lot of music on my phone which I didn't want to lose. I downloaded iExplorer and attempted to move my music across however a lot of my songs are now greyed-out on my iPhone and do not appear on iExplorer.
Did I lose everything?

Many thanks!
Your advice pushed me to reinstall.
I entered the licencing info from a popup that appeared after launching LR5 and just did what required. It worked just ok!
At first installation, I closed the popup with the idea to check my LR-Photo-archive in first step. Once I could check that all my pictures were ok, I entered manually the licence data from <help> + <LR registration>; registration steps and program behaviour were slightly different and were unsuccessful each time I tried.
I have to tell that my current LR5 licence is issued from upgrade from LR4... may be licence number required were first previous one or I entered the bad one...
Anyway, happy that recovery and reinstalling process ran properly.
Thank you again.

How do I transfer iPhone content back to laptop after hard disk crash

My old hard disk crashed a week ago. How do I transfer all my iPhone content (music, apps, podcasts, ...) back to my laptop after having a new hard disk installed?

I do have all the backups, but this means that I'd have to individually look up each App, then download it again. Isnt there a simpler way? Doesnt Apple keep an index of some sort of all the items I have purchased, so that a one-click procedure may restore the latest versions of all of them with ease?
A few years ago I adopted the strategy to keep everything on the web. With now over 20 GB on the web, it just doesnt make sense to do this any more. After the mess up with my hard disk, as far as my documents go, every time I edit any of them, I simply back them up individually onto 2 separate external drives, and burn them on CDs once a week. Having had 4 major hard disk crashes since 1989, I dont really trust automated backup programs any more. I'm much happier if I know where EXACTLY my documents are at any point in time.

Satellite A200-137 - Can not install windows after hard disk crash

last week my a200-137 crashed and now i have new hitachi 500 gb hdd on it, same as before the crash.
I install with Toshiba recovery DVD windows Vista on it and after succesfull install i have to start windows, it says preparing windows for first use then i have to wait a moment and then i get the message that windows installation is not completed. But it is complete!
After trying for 3 times installing with recovert I tried to install windows xp.
After a couple of minutes and transering files, I get the message no disk found! It says that there is no hard disk on the laptop!
But when I start up the boot menu or the setup menu I can see the 500 gb Hitachi hard disk!
So why can windows not find the hard disk and why can I not start windowds visat after installing with the recovery dvd?

> So why can windows not find the hard disk and why can I not start windowds visat after installing with the recovery dvd?
On this virtual way it is not easy to say why you cannot install recovery image. It would be interesting to know if the same will happen when you replace HDD with the same or identical one.
Which capacity has had original HDD?
If possible try to obtain original Microsoft installation disc and check if HDD will be recognized by Vista or Win7 and of course if you will be able to install and start preinstalled OS.
About WXP installation: it is well known that WXP installation will not starts properly due to missing SATA driver that must be loaded before WXP installation starts.
Check this forum and you will find hundreds of threads with detailed explanation why this happen and what can you do about it.
