iPhoto will not Photos import, how can I recover my files?

My iPhoto library cannot be imported in Photos. When I go into the import function, cannot select the iPhoto library. So, I tried to just open my Finder iPhoto library, and that does not work either. I have thousands of photos in this library I can access is no longer, how can I get back them?

There are no import involved. You simply open the iPhoto with the Photos.app library

Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch Photos. In the menu that appears, select "Choose Library"

  • How can I recover the files and programs before a system restore? my document folders are all empty and my programs will not open!

    How can I recover the files and programs before a system restore?  my document folders are all empty and my programs will not open!

    I know they are there and hidden somewhere, but this restoration took my settings of the computer to 2004! We lost all our data, our software that we use to operate our company at home, our quickbooks that has all our financial data, family photos, videos, Outlook will work not so no e-mail, all turned in time and 6 years ' worth of documents have disappeared.

    What happeneded was that I was trying to upgrade to quickbooks software when I got an error, I cancelled out of the facility, then restarted and that's when I got an error hal.dll something? I thought about a system restore would allow me to go back in time to just before when the error occurred, but he basically took my computer back to factory settings, so all the programs that I installed and paid hundreds of dollars for the past six years has disappeared, Microsoft Office and very expensive construction estimating software that we wil have to pay once AGAIN for If I can't get this program working properly.

    I am a fool! I can't believe what's happening.

    Someone at - it instructions on how I can retrieve either the programs and data that I need specifically or how to go and seek shade from the files I read online on and restore my computer for about 12 hours ago?

    Thank you all!

    Looks like you did a system rather than a system restore recovery.  If you have inserted a disc supplied with your machine and booted from it, you probably erased the disc and installed the original operating system provided with your computer.  Usually, a step in this recovery is to do a full format or quick of your drive.  If you did a full format, your data is permanently lost.  With a quick format, your data may still be there, somewhere but inaccessible by normal means.  Applications must generally be installed, in order to recover the files probably will not help unless you have the original installation media.  Your other data files (images, videos, financial data) may be salvageable, but at this point, it would be advisable to take your computer or your disk to a business/professional who is experienced with data disc recovery.  It will be cheap and there is no guarantee.

    Impatient, remember investigate you a backup strategy for your computer and critical data.  Hard drives can go wrong with little or no warning.

  • I'm trying to install Acrobat 8 Std on a laptop computer that was in need of a restoration.  He asks the file AdobePDF.dll since my Vista CD - I do not have.  How can I get this file or another which will allow my Acrobat 8 work on this laptop with Win 8

    I'm trying to install Acrobat 8 Std on a laptop computer that was in need of a restoration.  He asks the file AdobePDF.dll since my Vista CD - I do not have.  How can I get this file or another which will allow my Acrobat 8 work on this laptop with Win 8.1, which she did before restoring?

    John,

    AdobePDF.dll is in the file Data1.cab. Mine is located in C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Acrobat8\Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional\ You need to extract the file "AdobePDF.dll_64" from the .cab file. You can do this with WinZip or 7-Zip. Everything you need to extract is this file, nothing else... Once you have extracted it, remove the _64, so the name of the file is AdobePDF.dll. Then place the file in any location you want and run the program it when asked. For a file location, I suggest to C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Acrobat8\

    Hope that helps.

    The answer lies in this faq:

    FAQ: Photoshop Elements will work with my camera, or why does not open my raw files?

    PSE12 cannot be updated to the required version of ACR, 8.2, you need PSE13.

    This faq has links to see the whichACR version are necessary for a camera and which is supported by your version of elements.

    It also has links to download the free Adobe DNGconverter which is a stand-alone software to batch convert your files CR2, DNG format raw that your elements version can read and modify.

    Flash Player pop up box "requesting permission to store information on my computer" does not and will not disappear. How can I get rid of him. It is most annoying that there is in the middle of the screen.

    Move the cursor over the video.  Right-click.  Click on settings, click on the box "don't ask again". And then click Close.  This will work.

    For some reason, always worked for me, but in the last two days, it does not work, and it seems to freeze on the

    video.  See if it works for you.

  • How can I recover deleted files?

    Hello

    Yesterday, I deleted the 2 files form the office. I think they were "desktop.ini" file or similar. I deleted them because I thought that some programs created to do something not important.
    Then I realized they were system files that were there from the beginning, but they were hidden files. I don't know how the configuration changed to see these files, I changed didn¡t.
    Anyway, I tried to get back them through the 'system restore', but it did not work. I'm worried because it's a new laptop and I don't know if this would affect the system. I also scanned the disc for the virus, but it did not show anything.
    Please tell me how can I recover these files safely (do not install programs that I don't know who created them).
    Mi computer system is Windows Vista Home Basic.
    Thank you very much

    Diego.

    Diego_21, thanks for posting on the Microsoft forums.

    Desktop.ini is a file of parameters for your desktop, if it is deleted it will be recreated automatically the next time you start upward. If you choose however to try to recover a file of permanent deletion there are many applications of freeware that you can use. Just use your favorite search engine.

    If you need help please reply.
    Kind regards

  • How can I recover old files from Outlook Express to a secondary hard drive to Windows 7?

    Power supply on the old PC Windows XP, which uses Outlook Express consumed. I have installed hard disk Drive 'E' on Win7 unit. How can I recover the files OE on Windows7 unit?

    Original title: OE for Win 7

    See http://www.pcdon.com/080113OutlookExpress-WindowsLiveMail.html.

    Once you have the data in Windows Live Mail, you can choose what e-mail program you prefer and import to Windows Live Mail.

    Some e-mail programs can import only an instance of Outlook Express, which is not an option in this case.

    HOW CAN I RECOVER MY FILES CAPTURED VIDEO?

    I had this prob and Movie Maker did not. I tried Ctrl Alt Del and went to the Task Manager, and then went further with this. I did the backup file. Then I rebooted the computer, I think. When I open Movie Maker again once he said that Movie Maker is not shut down properly you want to restore from where you left off. So I did and it restored! I got about 10 hours of work.
