Unable to reinstall HP MediaSmart Photo/Video/Movie after System Recovery

My NoteBook originally came w/ Vista Ultimate & HP gave me a a disk for upgrade to Windows 7.
Doing another System Recovery and while upgrading to Windows 7 it was recomended I uninstall HP MediaSmart Photo/Video/Movie since it might not be compatible w/ W7, which I did. After recovery/upgrade I find out HP has me reinstalling the same version. However, it will not install. I get the following message:
"Error applying transforms, Verify that the specified paths are valid. C:\HP\tmp\src\1033.mst"
product #: HP DDX16 Premium Series
p/n: NK135AV
model # X16t-1200
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit (Upgarde to Windows 7 Ultimate provided by HP. Originally came w/ Vista Ultimate.)

Hi,
The download page for a lot of notebooks often has multiple entries for the same software - for both drivers and other software, just install the latest version.
When you believe that you have installed all relevant software and drivers, you can always check by opening windows Control Panel and then opening Device Manager - look for any entry here that has a warning icon ( yellow triangle ) next to it. If you find any, right click on the problem device and select Properties. Click the Details tab, choose Hardware Ids from the dropdown box and post back with the details shown under Value.
Best regards,
DP-K

Central, wireless, storage of all music, photos, videos, movies?

Hi all,
Please excuse if this is covered elsewhere... i looked and could not find a direct answer. A friend pointed me towards the DS214 play and after some research i am not sure i need to leave the apple family or pay for the Synology name. As a somewhat tech saavy father of 2.5 kids (due May), i wanted to ask other apple parents if they have similar needs with their home enjoyment and see what solutions are out there.
My situation. i have a 1TB imac and a macbook pro. We store all music and tv shows/movies puchased on the imac so apple tv can access them. we have our current iphoto library on the imac where we interact with iphones and ipads, and also apple tv for pics/home videos.
my problem is that i have tens of thousands of pics and a thousand home movies stored on external drives because i ran out of room on the imac hard drive and because iphoto wasn't performing well with so many files in one library. we use iphoto manager (3rd party) to jump between libraries which is fine but not ideal. I hate having different external drives connected for fear they may die one day or a cord gets pulled out or a child breaks one. furthermore, i am using externals to back up my externals, etc etc. it's a physical hardware mess. i want to take my digital family life to the next level using a home HUB of sorts.
Here are a few examples of what we want, thanks in advance for any help!
1. We have an imac and a macbook pro laptop. Is there any way to store the main photo library centrally so that we can edit and organize pictures and videos from both machines and have the changes/updates seamless appear on the other? (thought was to store the iphoto library file on a hub or similar, not on the imac hard drive)
2. We have two apple tvs and would like both to be able to access all movies, music, photos, videos from a central storage. right now they speak to the itunes library on the imac which is fine. but neither can access our archive iphoto libraries stored on external hard drives connected to the imac.
3. Aside from buying a much bigger and more expensive computer, and putting everything back on the main hard drive... my thought was if all these photos (and / or libraries) were stored in a central HUB location i could access them from both a laptop and imac and save myself the space on the computer hard drives and access them interchangeably without worrying about an external drives being unplugged, dropped, etc.
But this goes back to #1 and #2 above, can all these files, found in either one huge iphoto library and itunes library, or several libraries, be stored in a central wireless HUB location and be accessed and shared and enjoyed as if they were sitting on the main computer hardrive?
Lastly, i would like the ability to back everything up... meaning a HUB that had two drives or a partition so it could back itself up. basically swapping out 3 USB connected hard drives used as storage and backup for some sort of wireless HUB, that can be used by a few computers, apple tv and back itself up?
thank you very much in advance. I hope all this makes sense....
best,
JW

We have an imac and a macbook pro laptop. Is there any way to store the main photo library centrally so that we can edit and organize pictures and videos from both machines and have the changes/updates seamless appear on the other?
iPhoto Libraries must be located on a drive that is formatted OS X Extended (journaled) with ownership set to be ignored for it to work properly and be used by more than one user. It should not be accessed wirelessly as that can lead to library database corruption due to dropouts occurring when writhing to the library's database file. The following is from this Apple document: iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users - Apple Support.
It's recommended that you store your iPhoto library on a locally mounted hard drive. Storing your iPhoto library on a network share can lead to poor performance, data corruption, or data loss. If you use both iPhoto and Aperture with the same library, using a Mac OS X Extended formatted volume is recommended. For more information, see Aperture: Use locally mounted Mac OS X Extended volumes for your Aperture library.
As you know iPhoto has been discontinued and is being replaced by a new application called "Photos". It will have integration with the iCloud Drive and offer library sharing of some kind between Macs. We'll have to wait for it's release sometime this Spring before we know more.

Home video not appearing in Videos/Movies after syncing with first generation iPad.

Why is my home video in Shared Libraries but not Movies after syncing with first generation iPad? It appears in Movies on iPad2 and iPad3. I've already changed Media Kind to "Movie." I didn't have this problem 1 month ago when syncing a new video. Is there a software update issue? iPad says software is up-to-date.

The video app has 4 tabs across the top. If they are not hiding in one of the tabs, i suspect they are missing the type identifier and the app doesnt know where to show them. Glas that at least you can find them.
Next time you sync, take a look in i tunes, and see if they are fully labeled there. I would not be surprised if one the i tunes fields is the key for the pad video app to know which tab to put the, under.

Unable to recover data files from cds after system recovery

My g7 Pav. NB crashed. I made backup cds and recovery media cds. I performed a system restore and the NB started working OK, Now I can't restore any data from the cds. The data on the cds will not "recover".
What now? I have thousands of photos in the recovery/backup cds.
PJC

It would be great If you could share the exact error message that comes out whenever you try to access that particular media CD. Alternatively, you could use another computer/laptop to check and see if that particular CD has problems only in your system.
CD DVD Recovery software would be your last resort if none of the above options would seems working. Download trial version of stellar phoenix CD recovery software from here:

Good Luck!!

Lost photos after system recovery

help please i recovered the system after the tochpad stopped working and other avenues did not assist, problem solved however in my haste i neglected to copy my photos and have since lost them. desperately would like to recover them and will be grateful for any solutions offered. yes i know im an idiot.. thanks

It's possible, but unlikely that they can be recovered. You'll need to contact one of the hard disk recovery companies such as Drive Savers to see about getting it done. I'll warn you that it won't be cheap. Prices start at around a thousand dollars and go up and there is absolutely no guarantee that they will be successful.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

Photo Both video (.mov) file size in Lion

Photo Both in Lion saves videos (.mov) with double the file size of previous versions. I have verified by looking at a 30 second video created pre-Lion (2.1mb) and a new 30 second video created post-Lion (4.1mb) on the same MacBook Air. I have seen even more drastic file size increses on a newer MacBook Pro; more that 20mb for a video that used to be under 2mb.
There are no settings available in Photo Booth. And as stated in other threads there is no method in Mail to resize a video, this option is only available for images. The only functioning workaroud is to open the .mov file in Quicktime and then export for the web. This is OK, but the beauty of Photobooth and the Mail button within was the ability to just quickly fire off a video. Opening another app, exporting and then attaching to an email is no longer simple or beautiful.
Does anyone know why the filesizes have jumped up so drastically? More importantly, does anyone know how to get the file size of videos created in Photo Booth back under control so they can be emailed more easily?

UPDATE: Using any of the effects in photo booth videos greatly reduces the file size. This seems a bit contrary to what I would expect. Adding birds flying around my head cuts the video size in half. Sepia cuts down to 1/3. Black and white, the one that isnt a suprise, is less that 1/4 the file size of just plain old color.
Why can't I just have the nice small video files that Photo Booth used to save??

And scroll down to the bottom and spot the Lightroom 6.0 to buy the standalone application.
You can buy the application as an upgrade or full product (second red box in the screen shot shows the previous version of the software you own and needed to be selected if you are buying the upgrade Lightroom 6.0 ) in case you have the previous version ( Lightroom 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ) serial number registered or noted somewhere.
Here is the screenshot which might help you in buying the product correctly,
You can visualize the first red box where you need to select on the drop down to make the purchase as an upgrade product or the full version of the application.
If you have the qualifying product ( Lightroom 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ), then it would cost you just $79 else $149 in case of full installer.
Try, it might help you get over the plight of buying the product.

Unable to send photos/videos or share contacts using iMessage

I have recently been unable to send photos/videos or share contacts using iMessage on my iPhone 4S, although I can send simple text messages. Everything else seems to be functioning as expected. I have tried quitting messages, resetting my network settings and rebooting the phone, none of which has worked. Any suggestions?

You mention iMessage, then you mention text message. Are these messages you are sending in a blue bubble? If so, then they are iMessages. As far as adding content. That would make it an MMS, and you would have to add data to that. You need to either have cellular data on, or be on Wi-Fi for that to work, and to have MMS turned on in the Message Settings. If they are regular text message MMS, then you also have to have a SMS/MMS plan from your carrier.

IPhone photo/video library glitch - wrong file extensions, name shift, lost files etc [LONG story - sorry]

I have a 5s running 7.0.4. and my computer is running Windows 8.1.
We had a baby and my phone filled up fast with pictures and videos, so I decided to offload them onto my PC. I connected my phone to the usb port, and directly copied from the DCIM folder to my hard drive.
Something happened during the first attempt, and the process was interrupted. So I went into each of the sub folders, and selected all files, and started the copy process again. I told the computer to skip any existing files.
So all the file counts matched in each folder, and I figured it was safe to start deleting from my iPhone.
On my hard drive, I separated all the MOV files into my Videos folder. But in Windows Explorer, the thumbnail view showed several MOV files with no thumbnail - just the generic icon.
As I sorted my photos into various folders, I also noticed a lot of generic icons instead of thumbnails for the JPGs. I started to feel concerned that my files had become corrupt during the transfer. But then I noticed a PNG file that was a few hundred megabytes. This was odd, so I added the MOV extension to it. Sure enough, it was a video with the wrong extension.
I renamed every PNG and JPG file that had no thumbnail to add the MOV extension. Every one was a video with the wrong file extension.
Then I went to the video folder, and all the MOV files that had the generic icon were actually JPG files.
Well I was just happy to see that the files were not corrupt.
One more time before I deleted things from my iPhone, I did a spot check to see that the largest videos were on my hard drive. I found a few videos that were not copied over, despite the file counts having been accurate. So I copied the videos again, and compared file sizes and date/times when there was an overwrite prompt. Most were matches, but several were the same file name with different sizes and dates.
I didn't know what was going on, but I just wanted to get the files on my computer. So I renamed my local copy where there was a name collision, and copied the videos. I deleted the videos from my phone as I went along.
I felt pretty confident that I had all the files copied now, so I began mass deleting my photos.
I went to the Photos app on the phone, and watched the thousands of pictures disappear, and the glorious free space grow on my phone.
But wait... there was still 1 video in the Photos app. I thought I had gotten all the MOV files off the phone...
I have a photo info app installed, so I was able to see the file name of the video. I searched for that file name in the DCIM subfolders, but the folder that had that series of files (the IMG_3000-3999 files) listed the files with that particular video skipped. It was clearly still on my phone, because I could play it.
Then I noticed it was a 45 minute long video of my baby. About 5 GB. So I figured it must be due to the file size that it wasn't visible from explorer. (Can't explain why that would be, but M$ keeps changing crap too. I never freaking know what to expect from them either.)
After having deleted all the jpg, png and mov files from the DCIM folder, there were still about 26 files in my camera roll on the iPhone. And I could still view the video.
I decided I wasn't concerned about the photos, I just wanted to figure out how to get the video onto my computer.
So I selected all the photos in the photo app (skipping the 1 remaining video) and tapped the trash can.
Poof! One item remained, and it was one of the garbage photos. My video is GONE! ^#@*&#($^@Q&%( And no, I didn't fat-finger it. I was very careful to select the correct thumbnails.
Looking back, I know that I should have just started the entire file copy process from scratch when funny stuff started happening like mismatched file names. But I am a sleep-deprived new mom and just wasn't thinking clearly. It would be nice if I could have used my file/directory compare program to check the iPhone against my laptop, but it is not compatible with devices, only removable drives.
And no, I don't use iTunes. I stopped using iTunes years ago when it would randomly decide to delete contacts from my phone just because they didn't exist on my computer or some sh-- like that. I have always just manually synced all my stuff and have never had an issue like this. To say I am sad to lose that video is an understatement.
I googled "iPhone undelete" and "iPhone data recovery" and downloaded a trial for one of the likely candidates. It turned up a bunch of garbage, but not my video.
Anyways... I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this type of scenario? Has anybody identified what could cause this to happen? I would like to avoid this in the future. (I will avoid this type of loss, because I know now what I could have done differently to be more careful. But it would be nice if I didn't have to get all neurotic about checking 60GB of photos/videos side by side each time I copy them to my computer...)
I have seen other threads on the forum here regarding corrupted libraries and such, but I am not sure this is the same thing.
One suspicion I have is that it might have to do with the iPhoto app being installed on the phone. I can't articulate why I think that is worth considering. But when I looked at my Video folder, I ended up with many duplicate videos, and all the duplicated videos' file names were 2 numbers apart. As if all the file names got shifted at some point. Very strange.
Thanks for listening to my rant. If anybody has an idea, I am interested. If anybody else has lost precious memories due to this, we should talk. If it is a widespread problem, maybe we can all get together and pound down Apple's door?
As an aside: Why am I unable to select Apple Support Community to post this question to?

In my case number of weird things happen whenever I try to copy pictures/videos from my iPhone from direct USB...
1. JPG files are wrongly named as MOV and vice versa.
2. I copy only folders but in addition files with no extension are copied in the main folder, very strange.
3. Whenever I open one of the folders, strange icons like this () start appearing which cannot be copied even.
Unfortunately I used to delete a lot of files with wrong extensions in the past because I never new they could be fixed.
Apple should answer this!
Note: I am using Windows 8.1 and use a direct USB cable without iTunes to copy the media files directly from My Computer.

Slideshow and video (.mov) files

When I import photos (.JPG) and movies (.MOV) from my camera to the ipad, they appear as an 'ALBUM' and I can run a slideshow on the ipad that will show both photos and movies in the sequence that they were taken. However, when I import the same photos and movies onto my pc, and then sync the ipad with the pc, the movie files show as 'unable to be synced'
The same photos and movies still show as 'ALBUMS' and are duplicated on the ipad under both 'PHOTOS' and 'ALBUMS'.
I can run a slideshow under PHOTOS that will include the 'imported' movies.
Does anyone know why the sync rejects these movie files - the ipad is happy to accept them from the camera?

Unfortunately, if you don't have (or want to use) the CCK, you may run into problems with a lot more cameras. In most cases, this is caused by the so-called “H.264 level”. While CCK does import videos with, theoretically, incompatible levels (that is, over 4.1), iTunes in no way synchronizes the same videos without your manually decreasing the level first. Most Canon cameras that record 1080p24 videos belong here (they use level 5.0); the most notable exception is the new, high-end Canon EOS 5D Mark III, which not only records audio into AAC instead of the far more storage-unfriendly PCM, but also uses lower and iOS-compatible H.264 levels (4.0 for 1080p and 3.1 for 720p videos).
That is, first, try finding out what the H.264 level of your videos are and change them with Subler. If Subler can't change it, use other apps to do it. Read http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/making-stock-videos-application-play-every-mp4 -files-possible for a full tutorial (the Subler link is at the bottom). It's about synching for the "Videos" app; however, the same also applies to synching photos back in the "Photos" tab.
BTW, what camera model is that?

Can't print jpg files sent in emails - they're autosaved as HP MediaSmart photos

when someone sends me a .jpg file in an email, it comes thru as HP MediaSmart photo, and the only options are for "play". "rotate", edit or trash. There are no options for printing or saving. And you can't right click. So I can't accept any .jpg files sent to me.

Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand that you cannot print jpg files sent in your emails. With your HP Officejet 9620, on Windows 7. I am happy to look into this issue for you! I am assuming you have the HP Officejet 8620, as I cannot seem to find a HP Officejet 9620 online. If this is not your printer, please post your printer's Product/Model Number. To find your printer's Product/Model Number follow instructions in this link. Finding Your HP Product Model Number. According to this guide, Using HP MediaSmart Software Photo Features, you should be able to print your photos by doing the following: For home printing, just select the photos you’d like to print with HP MediaSmart Photo’s drag-and-drop print option. With one easy click or touch, you can add your print-ready photos to your printing queue. To print your photos from HP MediaSmart Photo, click Print Photos on the bottom of the MediaSmart Photo window. Click the album or slideshow from which you would like to print, and then click the add photo icon for each photo you would like to print. With the Print Picture controls, you can zoom in or out on the image, and move the image left-right or up-down to change the composition.If you change your mind about printing certain photos, click and drag the photo to the trash can or click Clear All to remove all the photos from printing. I would also recommend our HP Print and Scan Doctor, if you are unable to print from other programs as well.

Now that I have backed up, can I delete items from my desktop? One of the reasons I got the time capsule was so that I could free up some space on my computer. I am confused about whether the backup will one day remove my photos/video

I purchased a 2TB time capsule yesterday. I set it up as a router and did the backup no problem. I then navigated the backup folder and found that all my photos/video that I am nervous about losing are on there. So far so good.
Taking a step back, the reason I bought the time capsule was 1.) I needed a router 2.) I have a mac and 3.) I am running out of disk space on that mac (I shoot and cut a lot of video and have years of high quality pictures on my mac hard drive)
Can I now delete them from my mac computer to free space? I have used standard external disk drives in the past, but the whole "Back Up" piece of things has me confused. I love the idea of backing up my computer so I want to keep that functionality, but will the drive still function as a static external hard drive? Or do I need to move that material in seperately as a folder outside of the backup folder?
I am nervous that if the backup overwrites information as the disk space becomes limited that in 10 years when I fill this drive up, that I will lose all of my photos that are part of the backups that I am running now.....
Or worse, I am nervous that if I remove things from my mac right now, that the next time that a back up is performed that it will lose this data as it is not currently on the device I am backing up? How does this work?
I apologize, the back up is a very new concept to me and I want to make sure I do not goof anything up.

That's an entirely different thing from backups. A backup is an extra copy, in case the original is lost or damaged.   Additional space is just that -- more space for originals.
While it's possible to use the same disk (such as the TC's internal HD) for both things, it's dangerous -- when (not if) something happens to the TC, you risk losing the originals that are on it.   To be safe, you need (at least) two copies of everything important, in (at least) two different places.
Many (including me) recommend at least three copies (originals plus 2 backups). While it's not common for the Mac's hard drive to fail about the same time as the backup drive, it does happen. There are several threads here where it did, and very expensive data recovery was needed, but in some cases everything was lost.
So as the others recommend, getting an external HD for the stuff there isn't room for on your Mac is one solution for not having enough space. But you might explore getting a larger internal HD.   If possible, that might be bettter.
Then, also get another external, for "secondary" backups, so you're doubly protected. If you get a portable model, you can take it offsite for even better protection. See #27 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions for details and some suggestions.
Can I now delete them from my mac computer to free space? I have used standard external disk drives in the past, but the whole "Back Up" piece of things has me confused.
You're not the first or only one.
There are different types of backup apps, so there are different answers for the different types.
As the others have posted, Time Machine will, sooner or later, delete it's backup copies of things that are no longer on your system. Depending on how long the original was there and when backups were run, that can be in as little as 24 hours, or as long as there's room.   So no, don't take the chance with data that's important!
Is there helpful information on how to add an external drive to your backup set up?
See the green box in #2 of the FAQ article. All you have to do is format it for a Mac and remove it from the exclusion list.
           Once I set it up, will I need to leave the hard drive plugged into my mac in order for the data to be backed up?
It can only be backed-up while it's connected.
           If I do, and a back up is performed without the hard drive attached to my computer, will it remove the backup of what was on the hard drive
No (unless you leave it disconnected until Time Machine starts deleting old backups).
It will back up the external when it's connected, and not complain if it isn't.
