Restoring original

I'm thinking of buying Aperture and importing my iPhoto library into it.
Once I've done this, can I restore the photo within Aperture to its original version as it was when it was originally imported into iPhoto?
Thanks
Steve

Steve, that will depend on the version of iPhoto you are currently using.
Is your current MacOS X version "Mac OS X (10.6.7)", as indicated in your profile signature? You will get the smoothest transit from iPhoto to Aperture with at least iPhoto '11 (9.3 or later) and Aperture 3.3 or later. Then Aperture and iPhoto will share a unified libary format and you can simply use your iPhoto library as Aperture library and switch without problems between Aperture and iPhoto back and forth. You can revert any edits done in iPhoto or build on the edited versions.
If you upgrade from an earlier iPhoto version to the current Aperture 3.4.5, you cannot import the iPhoto library directly - you would have to export the original versions and edited versions from iPhoto and import them separately. So waht are your versions, and could you upgrade to iPhoto 9.4 or later?

How do I restore original file naming on an import

Through a process of idiocy and confusion, I've ended up with TWO creation dates on my files, e.g. 20140112-20140112-Johnny at the beach. I tried the step back, step back, step back system, or "undo, undo" but that didn't succeed. I've tried creating a new catalogue to re-import the photos from iPhoto, but I've mislaid the File Renaming Panel that my Lightroom tutor's handout mentions as being on the right-hand side of the screen. I can only see Histogram and Keyword list.
When I try and rename the files individually, I don't get an option to merely remove one of the 201401112 key strings, I get a series of checkboxes.
I know I've done wrong, but I want to undo it and not make it worse. I'm scared that if I restore original settings, I'll delete all of my images - all 1400+ of them!
Anyone who can give a solution gets a lovely cake.

I suggest you stop Re-Naming your images on import and place them in folders by the date they were shot. Lightroom can do that for you on import from card or camera or you can do it yourself manually before you import them into LR. You could also put the Sub-folders by date in a top level folder by year or just in one folder named whatever you like.
Not sure why people Re-Name their images when copying them from the card/camera to their hard drive. To me that makes no sense at all. If I have images that I want to separate from others I will manually re-name them and or assign a keyword or rating to them. You can also have collections of images by subject, location, date or whatever you like and those collections can be from any folder imported into LR.
The only time I would even think about re-naming images on import, and or copying to my hard drive, is if I have 2 identical cameras. Which I have in the past. But even then I changed the file naming in the camera having one cameras files start with 1 and the other start with 2

How to restore original values to an iMacros demo file

Made mistake when I tried to edit one of the demo files for iMacros and would like to restore original demo file

Gday again!
This is a supplementary message to my question concerning the drastic obscuring that happened after I said YES to change of settings.
I checked the Console. log and found this information. It might help me to get answer to my question. Here´s hoping!
The Console.log info is:

Restoring original adjustments of a Mac Book Pro 13 last model

Good morning
I just bought a Mac Book pro 13 (last model) and I tried to use assistant migration to migrate everything from my old Mac Book (OS X LIon and updated), by ethernet connexion by cable, but the operation avorted twice. No interesting solution for the moment from the Apple Care telephone ahelp. They seem as bewildered as me.
I am looking for a solution in my old Mac, but before going in the Old Mac to see what's going wrong (I had done, though, the necessary adjustment, like deactivation of all applications opening automatically, never deactivate hard drive, unlink my computer to Dropbox etc..) I want to restore my new Mac Book Pro with its original features (without any trace of the precedent operation, or user accounts etc..)
SO: Is it better to format hard disk and restore original adjustments (as if I had just open the computer) or to use in Disk utilities the command "Reinstall Mac OS X and its application"?
I should think it is the first solution but I liked an advise from more clever folks than me.
Secondary question:
Could the problem be because my new Mac Pro had been configured in the Apple Store with the same user account than the one on my old Mac (and same Apple ID)?
Or is there other possibilities?
Thanks for your Help. I would'nt like to go the Apple Store and have it done for me, and die an idiot. (french expression)

Doing a Clean re-install of Lion would not hurt as yes the failed MA may have placed certain thing on the system before it finally failed, I wouldn't know about that.
If you chose to do that look into creating a Lion Install USB thumb drive so you never have to download the Lion install files again and so you won't need a internet connection to re-install Lion.
IMHO it really isn't a time eater. IMHO it is the only way to have New computer without all the JUNK you have collected on the old one transfered over. It is the only way I setup a NEW computer. Buy the computer, Windows or Mac, Wipe the drive and reinstall the OS CLEAN. Install the programs I want on the new computer and then copy my personal files over.
Now there will be other opinions on this. Some of the Apple Fan Boys will state that OS X is so great that it never needs cleaning or a reinstall. That has not been my experience over the years of working on other peoples Macs.

Restoring original settings?

i recently got a 2nd hand mac mini and i was connecting it to my 40 inch sony bravia and as i was changing the display settings it got stuck on a setting that my display did not support and now i cant see what i'm doing, is there anyway of fixing this or a way to restore original settings?? please help

ok. boot again and hold the shift key. that should boot into safe mode. could take a little bit longer than normal boot. then select system preferences and change the resolution to a working available one, reboot and see if it can display the chosen resolution then select a compatible res.

Audition - Restoring Original

Premiere Pro CC v7.2.1
Win7 Pro 64-bit
In Premiere, you have a clip which was edited via "Edit clip in Adobe Audition".
Premiere never changes the original clip, it creates a separate audio file which Premiere uses.
You later reopen the project in order to restore that clip to the original.
There does not appear to be a "restore original audio" menu item for the clip.
How do you restore the clip audio to the original?
Thanks in advance.

Jim - Before submitting this as a Feature and Bug request to
Feature Request/Bug Report Form
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
Please let me know if the following correctly summarizes the situation.
If it does, I hope you and others will also submit it. Thanks.
In the Premiere Pro CC v7.2.1 timeline, when you edit a clip via "Edit Clip in Adobe Audition",
Premiere never changes the original clip. It creates a separate audio WAV and PKF in the bin.
If you re-edit the clip, Audition creates a new WAV and PKF with "Audio Extracted" appended to the filename.
This leaves multiple WAV and PKF files for the same clip which is annoying.
If you later reopen the project in order to edit the original, there are issues.
In the timeline, if you select the audio part of the clip, the "Edit Original" is grey.
In the Project window, if you select one of the WAV files for the clip in the bin,
the "Edit Original" menu item for the clip does not edit the original - it opens Windows Media Player.
This Is A Bug. In the timeline, one should be able to select the audio, then select "Edit Original", and have it edit the original.
Also, it should delete all the previous multiple WAV and PKF files.
There Is Also A Major Feature Missing. One should be able to "Restore Original".
Specifically, in the timeline, one should be able to select the audio, then select "Restore Original", and have Premiere place the original audio back.
Premiere should also delete all the WAV and PKF files for the clip.

Need help restoring original desktop after crash and new install

Question: is there a way to restore my original desktop?
My system starting giving me kernel errors. I was running Member when it crashed. I did a restart and the mouse would no longer work. Tried starting in safe mode. Mouse still refused to work. Removed most of my memory and restarted but mouse still would not work. Finally got the mouse to move in safe mode. Set my system to start from a different hard drive. This time the mouse worked fine. Ran memory check from this secondary driver and ALL memory checked out fine. Restarted computer with the original drive and once again the mouse would not work.
Finally, I re-loaded OS 10.4 plus ran all updates. I first tried to load it keeping all the setting but this made the system lock up and the computer would not restart without the CD. Finally, re-loaded 10.4 and archived original desktop.
Question: is there a way to restore my original desktop?
I found a folder that has the desktop stuff in it but some seems to be missing...
AND I cannot find any of my previous mail that had been saved. I'm sure (I hope) that it is here, but don't know where or how to set it back up.
I still don't know what caused the original problem...

Hi, Edward.
1. You wrote: "I first tried to load it keeping all the setting but this made the system lock up and the computer would not restart without the CD. Finally, re-loaded 10.4 and archived original desktop.... I cannot find any of my previous mail that had been saved. "If you performed an Archive & Install of Mac OS X and did not use the "Preserve Users and Network Settings" option, then everything that was in your old user account, including your Mail, is gone. Before performing an Archive and Install without that option, you should have made a complete backup of the affected hard drive using a comprehensive Backup and Recovery solution.
While it's unclear what you mean by "archived original desktop." If you mean you used Create Archive to create an Archive (.zip file) of your previous Home > Desktop folder before performing the Archive & Install, then only the files and folders that were saved on the Desktop at that time would be preserved. Mail was saved in your Home > Library > Mail folder, which the Archive & Install replaced if you failed to use the "Preserve Users and Network Settings" option.
If any e-mail files are still on the hard drive in question, then the instructions in my "Data Recovery" FAQ may help you find them, but I suspect they are all gone.
2. You wrote: "I still don't know what caused the original problem..."Earlier in your post you noted:"My system starting giving me kernel errors."and"Finally got the mouse to move in safe mode."If by "kernel errors" you meant the following message:
That indicates a kernel panic.
See my "Resolving Kernel Panics" FAQ. This FAQ includes step-by-step instructions for identifying and resolving some of the most common causes of kernel panics. The FAQ is a roadmap: start at the beginning and work systematically through the end, i.e. the "If all else fails..." section.
Since the system appeared to work properly in Safe Mode, this would also imply an errant Startup or Login Item could have been the cause, which is addressed in Step 4 of the "Troubleshooting kernel panics" section of my FAQ.
Good luck!

Restoring original Blueberry iBook G3 with Mac OS 8.6

I recently got a Blueberry iBook G3 and need help restoring it. It has all original documentation and CDs. It has 160 MB of RAM and a 3 GB hard drive. It doesn't have an AirPort card. When I try to restore it it boots and loads to a preloaded desktop (on CD) and then shuts down without giving me any messages or options. I want to install the original software and then upgrade to Mac OS X.

I don't have another battery or a charger (only one). Anyway, it works with Mac OS X (i installed it and it worked), but I want the original software on it. Also, the logicboard is working correctly

How to restore original OS?

I got an old 3000 C200 laptop. It came with Vista Home Premium but as I needed to run old DOS programs, I installed WinXP PRO instead. I didn't touch the service partition and now when I look on the disk management window, I can see two partitions: ServiceV002 = ~6GB and C: = ~70GB
I don't need to run DOS programs anymore and decided to roll back to the original image of the OS with Vista. To do that, I press the LENOVO CARE button while BIOS loads. On the menu that comes up I choose the "restore option" (F11) and.... After a few seconds of black screen, regular WinXP boots up
Why is that? How do I get to the restore application?

From lenovo (they might charge you a small fee), another x220 owner that created the recovery media, from a lenovo certified repair center (they will have recovery media available).
Currently own: X220T, X201, X200, T61 X2, X61T X3

Howto restore original nokia software after hard r...

I have an N79 phone. Recently, due to some problems I had to hard reset my phone. I took backup of all my contacts, messages, etc. which I could restore easily using PC suite. However, I lost some software which had been originally installed by nokia. Most notably among these were the Ngage games and wavesecure. How do I get these back ? I especially need wavesecure.

Have you restored the backup? If yes, did you get the wavesecure software again? If no then you can get this software from here.
As for Ngage games you will have to visit www.n-gage.com. But the licence which you got would not recover unfortunately!
Please thank me by giving 'KUDOS' star. It will help me to serve you better.
Currently using N82 and 5230. Next would be N?

Need help restoring original track data in Match

Truly hope someone can offer advice! I know there are several threads about changes made to track data while Match is syncing don't stick, but I have a slightly different problem:
I upgraded TuneUp and without knowing it, TuneUp startet "fixing" my entire library by deleting many composers and ruining other carefully edited information
By the time I realized what was happening and shut it down, some 2.000 tracks has been wreaked havoc upon
I restored the library from Time Machine, but apparently Match had had time to sync so that the wrong edits were flushed back to my library
I have now tried several ways of fixing this:
Restoring the library and using one of Doug's scripts to add a space at the end of all track names to make "my version" the latest, but this process takes so long that it times out and by then Match has again ruined my track info
Turn off Match, restore the library, make changes to some track info for all tracks, and turn Match on again. Under this approach, Match seems to treat the cloud copy as the "original" even if I made changes to my local copy later
Restoring the library, allow Match to start syncing so that my local library is viewed as part of the Match set, then disconnect the internet connection and make track changes, turn on again and sync Match again. Still, the Match changes are flushed back to my local library
Unless there are other suggestions, I see no way out by let Match stay turned off... Anyone with better insight than me into how Match treats changes and which take priority that could help?
Bjorn

Hi,
I'm not sure this will work. I use an app, no bearing on this issue, called Ivolume which adjust the volume of the tracks. To get match to recognise volume change and that the file has been update, Ivolume adds information into comments box. My understanding is that this change allows latest file to replace the one in the cloud.
My thoughts are that you have matched turned off, restore library pre problems then add a comment for those tracks affected. Once done turn back on match. A long shot but worth considering.

Error 23 trying to restore original iPad from iTunes

Pulled my original iPad out of my bag after returning from vacation and it had an alert on screen saying it required activation. It connected to my home wi-fi fine but failed when trying to activate. After a bunch of retries it went in to recovery mode.
I installed latest iTunes (I'm on Windows 8.1 Pro) and started the restore process. However at the stage where it states it's verifying the restore with Apple (or something to that effect) it fails with the following message:
The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (23).
I'm stuck. Tried everything I can think of. Any ideas?

That may be due to a problem preventing your computer from communicating with Apples servers.
