Video Missing After Reinstalling on New Computer

I backed up my "My Music" directory, deauthorized itunes from my old computer, reinstalled itunes on the new computer and restored the directory "My Music" and let itunes redo the music.
However, while the music is all there, the 10 or so episodes of Monk are not. Does anyone have an idea as to why?
Is video kept in a different location and perhaps I didnt back it up like i thought?
Thanks.

I don't really understand ... you wouldn't re-install on a new computer ... you would install, not re-install ... so I'm not sure what your concern really is.
Nevertheless, any installation or re-installation can be done from the installation disk.

Events and project thumbnails missing after moving to new computer

I just helped a friend to move to a new Mac. I have copied all her personal data to her new computer, so iMovie Events and Projects are present in her new Movie folder. However, after opening iMovie '08, all events and project thumbnails are missing. How could this be? Is there perhaps some library file that keeps track of all this that I need to copy as well? Is there a way to re-link iMovie with the events folder?

Try this:
First, make sure you've quit out of iMovie. Then go to your Movies Folder > iMovie Events > and then into the folder of the even that's giving you trouble. Drag the folder "iMovie Thumbnails" to your trash. Then open the folder "iMovie Cache" and drag the file "Cache.plist" to the trash. Restart iMovie. It should rebuild the thumbnails, and by regenerating the .plist file, it should have the data it needs to reed the new thumbnails into iMovie.
It worked for me. Hopefully it will work for you too.

I had creative cloud installed in a parallels deskto virtual machine on my mac, I delete the virtual machine without deactivate the creative cloud. after reinstall a new VM running windows 8.1. pro 64 bits, I downloaded the creative cloud installer but it does not install ang give an Error code 72, it is assuming that I already are using the Creative cloud in 2 computer, but itis no the case, how to solve this situation?

Dave: I did the Microsoft Update two days before this happened, and rebooted as required. I just created a new restore point and lauched Creative Cloud. Now I get the famous white screen:
It just sits and spins (been 10 minutes now).
Fortunately, I saved away this command (which I've had to use 4 or 5 times already):
del %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE\opm.db
Unfortunately now, I get this (even after closing the above window):
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
So I killed everything that said "Adobe" in the task manager and this time, the command succeeded.
Fortunately, the current apps seem to still work. I can't seem to find the "Creative Cloud" app in the applications on my system, but I launched Photoshop CC, told it to look for updates, and got a list of the 5 prgorams that need updates in the Adobe Application manager:
I will proceed with the updates, holding my breath.

I have a brand new mini mac and a new apple TV. Both have been updated and can see my movies in itunes. I can use Netflix and stream music. I have tried to use my old laptop and it streams video fine. But my new computer only see a spinning circle.

After logging into Adobe, my purchase of Photoshop from 6 months ago is not showing up under "Orders" but does show up under "Products" I have the serial number (and it is displayed in my Products) but not seeing how I re-download the program to new machine? Do I need to download the Trial version, enter the serial number?

Yes, that works.
Which exact version of Photoshop? Standalone or part of a Creative Suite?

Mail has gone crazy. Header's and messages are mixed up. New Mac Book Pro. Migrated files from Time machine running snow leopard. Reinstall or new computer needed?

Ok; I'm not sure what you're doing. 36 hours is rather long. Seems like a new migration. Not what I intended.
Here's what I intended: from the newly-migrated and apparently-corrupt environment, create a new user, not related to any existing user, nor any migration-created user, or any other user for that matter. That is, use  > System Preferences > Users and Groups, authenticate yourself by clicking on the padlock, and then click the + and create a wholly new user. Then log in under that user and establish the mail access.
36 hours? I'm wondering if there's an error or an exceedingly slow network here? Or a really, really slow disk? Or a sick backup? (WiFi isn't the path I'd usually choose, either.)
Failing the attempted second migration, I'd try a different tactic. Does your existing (old) system work? If so, I'd bypass the backup and connect an external (scratch) USB disk drive to the (old) sstem and then boot and use Disk Utility booted from the installer DVD disk or boot and use Disk Utility from the recovery partition or booted from a recovery partition created on some other external storage (details here vary by the OS X version and what hardware you have), and perform a full-disk backup of your original internal disk to (scratch) external storage. (Make sure you get the source and target disks chosen correctly here; copying the wrong way — from the scratch disk to your existing disk — will clobber your data!) In esssence, this will clone your existing boot disk. Then dismount the (formerly-scratch) external disk, transfer it over to the new system, and use it as the source of the migration, by performing a fresh OS X installation on the new system.
Target Disk Mode is also sometimes an option for accessing the disk for a migration, but that requires the right cable, and requires systems that have the same external connection; newer MacBook Pro systems use Thunderbolt for this, and older systems tend to use FireWire. And I'm guessing you don't have compatible hardware.
The details here can and do vary by your OS X versions and your particular Mac systems — if you'll identify the specific models and hardware, somebody might be able to better tailor the above (fairly generic) sequence to your particular configuration.

Missing playlists after moving to new computer

Greetings.
I am soliciting some help.
I have acquired a new computer (Vista, Lenovo desktop) and want to use iTunes on it. So, I downloaded and installed iTunes on it.
I keep all my iTunes things on an external drive (G drive) and so I connected it to the new computer and dragged/dropped the entire iTunes folder over. Then I set it to be the "iTunes Music folder location."
I seem to have lost the playlists (and I have lots of them - 120 GB of music/audio).
Is there a simple way to recover them. I really don't want to start over on playlists...

Bill, I am hoping you can help me out. I too have a new computer with the windows vista platform. i have my itunes music folder, itunes itl and xml on my external hard drive. i went ahead and started itunes on the new computer while holding down shift button to choose the library. when i did though it said it was locked, on a locked disc ,or dont have write permission to open this file. do you know a way of how to correct this, or how to get my music on the new computer with all playlists intact? (i noticed on some posts there was reference to ensuring external drive on old and new computer was same letter, that is also not the case with mine. was G on the old one, now this one has it as an F. any help you can provide i'd greatly appreciate

Adobe Premiere Pro CC Crashes on startup after upgrading to new computer monitors

Hey everybody, I am tech-savvy so go ahead and throw detailed answers at me. I recently updated to Windows 8.1 because Premiere Pro CC (version 7.2.1) crashed on startup in Windows 8. After the update to Win8.1, it worked fine with my old 19in. VGA full-screen monitors. However, after I installed new HD wide-screen monitors yesterday, I opened Premiere Pro and it started up just fine and is stable until it processes a video file. If I'm fast enough, it will successfully import a file from the media browser, but as soon as it "processes" the video in the media browser or the video in the timeline, Windows gives me the error "Adobe Premiere Pro CC has encountered an error and must be shut down". I tried every trick in the book- including changing the monitor refresh rate down from 144Hz to 60Hz, tried using an HDMI cable instead of DVI-D, and tried reinstalling Premiere Pro (restarting the computer at the proper points in the process), and tried setting it to render using no GPU acceleration (Mercury software only). Nothing seems to work. Below are the specs on my computer:
CPU: AMD FX-8120, GPU: Dual AMD HD Radeon 6670's 1GB GDDR3 each outputting to its own monitor via DVI-D Dual Link, Monitors are ASUS VG248QE 24" running 1920x1080p resolution @ 144Hz, 7200RPM Western Digital HDD.

I had this same problem on my HP laptop that has two video cards. I had to dissable the Intel 4000 in order to get Premiere CC to function. However, once this one done, it was no longer possible to use the external monitor (even when I closed the lid, it simply would not recognize the external monitor). Thus, each time I'm using Premiere CC then I have to disconnect the monitor and use device managre in Win8.1 to dissable Intel. It's really a huge pain in the arse. Also, I do not have an option to choose to choose a second monitor in Win8 once the Intel is dissabled. I've updated both drivers - so, I guess that's the only solution there is for my laptop. I'd suggest not using this software with a HP laptop that has two graphics cards.

How can I sync apps again after getting a new computer without deleting?

HI folks. So I had to reinstall my computer but I have a backup of everything on a hard drive. My question is what I need to copy over to make sure that my apps can sync again without deleting my apps on my iPad currently. Every time I got to check the apps for sync it tells me the ones on my iPad will be deleted which I do not want. Looking for assistance. Thanks.

Itunes remembers what u have downloaded (free and paid apps) so if u have to 'authorize' the computer again as a new computer, (u r allowed 5) itunes will just reinstall apps and app info eg saved games scores etc will be still there after restore or update.

I do not have my discs for install. My main computer is dying and purchased new computer. How can I reinstall on new computer without discs?

Hi,
My main computer is dying - keys do not work and video is gone.
I purchased a new retina Macbook pro and want to reinstall Logic Audio Pro 9. I do not have my original discs. I can still access the program on the original Macbook to deauthorize if necessary.
But how can I reinstall wihtout the discs?
Any help would be great. Thank you!

Carbon Copy Cloner -or-
You could remove the HD and put it in an External Enclosure -or-
Maybe try using Apple's Migration Assistant -and finally-
Once you have the new computer set up you may want to use Time Machine

IPhoto missing after reinstalling leopard

After reinstalling Leopard on my new macBook, iPhoto is missing from the Applications. Has anyone any ideas how to solve this? I can't find the individual install for iPhoto either on the install disks.
Thanks

Terence Devlin wrote:
so I'm buying my own copy of Leopard
Why?
Because the copy of Leopard she has is unlicensed if she doesn't have the install disc.
Do I have to erase the installed one before I install my new copy?
If 10.5 is working why are you going to re-install?
Well, security for one. I would never, never, never use a pre-owned Mac without completely erasing and reinstalling everything from scratch. Who knows what hacks, security holes, pirated software, or other junk may have been left on it by its previous owner. We already know that the seller included a stolen copy of Leopard. Maya would be doing everything right by buying a fresh copy of Leopard and reinstalling.
And if iphoto is going to be missing, could I install it from the Tiger disk that came with my desktop?
System Restore Disks are particular to the model they come with. Also, it's a breach of the licence.
That's wrong. Software on a system restore disc may be transferred to a different Mac as long as the software is no longer installed on the first Mac. And while some have reported difficulty getting OS X to install on a different model, I think it's likely that the iLife apps will work.
If Maya has no system restore CDs for her iBook at all, she should contact the seller and demand them. If the seller told Maya that Leopard or any other Apple software is included, and then included no install discs, the seller defrauded Maya.

About 100 songs/items missing from iTunes on new computer

I recently used Copytrans to transfer all my music from one computer to another. After a while of using the new computer, comparing it to the other computer, about 100 tracks/files were missing from iTunes. How can I find out what's happened to those missing files?

Do you know which songs are missing? If so, search and see if they were uploaded somewhere unexpected.
If you don't know which songs they are, I would compare your library to the old computer and just burn an mp3 CD of the songs you're missing.

ITunes and Audible compatibility after transfer to new computer

I've had a serious compatibility problem between iTunes and Audible eversince transferring to a new computer. This after iTunes and Audible worked seamlessly for two+ years on my old computer.
At first iTunes would not accept my Audible username/password, then after reinstalling and updating both iTunes and Audible Manager I received a "you cannot authorize any more computers for this account. You must deauthorize at least one other computer . ." error message. I've deauthorized, then authorized my computer twice in an attempt to correct whatever is causing this (two computers are automatically authorized when I've done this) but I still get the "you cannot authorize . . " error message whenever I try to import my Audible files.
I'm using an external HD (from the old computer)as my music folder location for iTunes, however Audible is downloading to my computer's HD. Can this have something to do what's going on? I've also tried disabling the firewall with no success. Have also made sure Audible and Apple are both "allowed" in Firefox's content. Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

I would try copying over the tracks from your XP computer again as the files from the first transfer may be corrupted.
