Reinstalling Yosemite without loosing any of my files or apps?

I know the answer to this is probably fairly simple, but can I re-install the OS without loosing any of my images, music, videos, or applications?
2 question in 30 minutes, almost feels like spamming this place with uselessness.

that was my alias wrote:
Okay, done it.
I wanted to see if reinstalling Yosemite would fix it.
It didn't, and Apple really needs to hurry up on that major update that's been due for at least 3 months.
Fix what? Why do you think an update is "due?"

    Anyone know of a good way to move finalcut pro X to an external HD without loosing any of the project files?

    If you're looking for improved performance, you should move your events and projects to an external FW800 or faster drive.
    The FCP X application itself should reside in your Applications folder on your system drive.
    If you're talking about backing up to another drive, I use a cloning application (SuperDuper) to clone my working drive to my backup drive two or three times a day.
    If you want to install FCP X on another computer, simply download it again from the App Store (using the same Apple ID you used to purchase the app).

  • Reinstall apex without loosing the applications that you created

    Is there a way to reinstall apex without loosing the applications that I created?
    I have some apex packages that cannot be compiled
    Jules

    Jules,
    As the site administrator, export the workspaces to files. Then login to each workspace as an admin and export each of the applications to files. (You should already have these backups anyway). If you have static files, images, css, user interface defaults, or themes that you've uploaded into any workspace you'll need to export those as well.
    After you re-install, reverse the process, starting with installing the workspaces, then install the applications and other components into each worskspace.
    But why do you have to do this? What won't compile?

    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

  • How can i reformat my external hard drive without loosing any data?

    how can i reformat my external hard drive without loosing any data?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    It's impossible to format a hard drive without losing the data. One thing you can do before formatting is to copy the files from the external drive to your internal drive, and then, format the external drive. After formatting, copy the files to the external drive again, and everything will be as before formatting it

  • Since I believe you can't create a Photo album (book) in Apperature, what is the best way to transfer my pictures from my Apperature Library to iPhoto without loosing any picture quality?

    Since I believe you can't create a Photo Album (Book) in Apperature, what is the best way to transfer my pictures from my Apperature Library to iPhoto (in order to create my book) without loosing any picture quality ?

    Since I believe you can't create a Photo Album (Book) in Apperature, what is the best way to transfer my pictures from my Apperature Library to iPhoto (in order to create my book) without loosing any picture quality ?
    Why do you think that? You can create printed Books in Aperture with similar themes as in iPhoto, and with more options to create custom themes on your own.
    See this page - http://www.apple.com/aperture/what-is.html - scroll down to see the example books.
    But if you prefer the iPhoto themes and layout, you can open your Aperture library in iPhoto, if you have both the current version of iPhoto and Aperture. Simply use the command "File > Open Library in iPhoto" and you can create your book in iPhoto.
    And switch back to Aperture by using the command "File > Open Library in  Aperture".

  • How do I split off my Ipad and Ipod from my wifes account that we have both used without loosing all my music, films and apps?

    I currently have an Ipod Touch and Ipad 2 wi-fi that were linked to my wifes account on her computer, she has an Iphone 4, Ipad 2 wi-fi + 3G and an Ipod touch.
    Over the years we have combined our joint music collections on to 1 itunes account - Silly Me!  I now need to change the arrangement so that I am able to log in to my new Itunes account, using my own computer without loosing any of my music, films and apps etc. Anybody got any solutions as I have tried to back up, open a new account etc and then sync and GUESS WHAT? everything disappears. music, films, apps etc. PLEASE HELP

    I'm afraid you can't do that on iOS devices. Any purchases that were done using the single account, in this case your wife's, can only be used if you continue to log in to the same iTunes account. If you now want to use your own separate account you will need to re-purchase any of the apps or media you want to use using your own separate account. Only iTunes on a computer can be authorized to use more than one account.
    Most families use one account for purchases for the very reason that they want to collectively share all the apps and media purchases. It saves money by not having to make separate purchases of the same things for each account.
    Hopefully, in the future, Apple will allow people to consolidate two or more accounts in to one so that purchases made on separate accounts will be able to be shared amongst those people.

    there are a number of scenarios to do it.
    The general idea was covered here:

    Make sure you have a full backup of your iPhone before recyncing with the iMac as during this process all data will be wiped out from your iPhone.
    Going forward you may want to check icloud which makes life easier.

  • Is it possible to reinstall OSX 10.5 without loosing any application that is already installed?

    Hi,
        So I have endnote, office installed on my macbook. And it is out of space (6 GB left out of 120 GB). And I can not locate where the space is eaten up. I want to reinstall the OSX without loosing the data and get the space back. Is there any way of doing this? Thank you.

    It IS possible by doing an Archive and Install http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710
    BUT be aware that archive and install takes up the most space of any installation of OS X because it saves room for a previous system folder. The 6GB you have free is probably not even big enough to do archive and install. Neil is right find out what's taking up that space and then get rid of or move some files off to external storage.

  • Following Windows Update, Photoshop elements 10 editor fails to start.  Can I Uninstall and then reinstall without loosing any catalogues?

    Using Windows 7 Home, and until today have had no problems.
    Windows deleted a whole load of files and now I have problems opening Elements editor.
    Is it safe to simply uninstall Elements and then reinstall?

    Thanks Jeff.  I will install from disc 2 but presumably first i need to uninstall my first attempt (from Disc 1).  However, will uninstalling the product use up one of the licenses as I would like to install on two computers and I don't want to use up both licenses on the same computer.  I have read on this forum about the need to de-activate the program before uninstalling but some clarification on what "de-activating" actually does would be welcome.  Could someone please confirm the steps I need to take to solve this problem.  As I understand it I need to 1) de-activate the first incorrect install (from disc 1), 2) uninstall the product and 3) re-install using disc 2 and then disc 4.  It seems discs 1, 3 & 5 are not needed for my install of Photoshop Elements 10 and Premier Elements 10 on a Windows 7 64 bit computer.
    Following these steps will use up one of my licenses (hopefully not both) and I can then install the programme on my desktop for my second license.
    Comments / suggestions welcome and appreciated.  Thanks
