My computer broke and I got it fixed. It doesn't say that the hard-drive was replaced, but I can tell my data is gone, including Pages that I bought. Is there any way of getting that without paying for it again?

Or if you purchased Pages as part of iWork on a disk, reinstall from the same disk.
Best of luck.

Hard Drive was replaced, but now can't get Apple Backup to restore data

My iMac had a damaged hard drive, so I replaced it and reinstalled Mac OS 10.4, along with iLife 06. My iMac is now up and running again (prior to hard drive replacement it froze and was then unable to get up and running again without repeated attempts at powering down and then up).
Here's my problem. Prior to the replacement, I'd been using Apple's Backup program to backup all my iPhoto and iTunes files to an external harddrive. The files are on the external harddrive, but when I use Backup to restore them, the opened and allegedly restored files have no data in them. (I've been using "restore to alternate location" and putting the restored data in a shared folder on the iMac. Backup runs, and says the data is in this shared folder, but when I go to import data from them, they are empty.)
Fortunately, I did a wholesale copy of my old desktop to my external hard drive in July when it became clear I'd have to replace hard drive, so I was able to get most of my photo and music files restored from that. But from July to October, I used Backup exclusively to save new pictures or music and now I can't find a way to get that data restored (short of trying to pull off the old damaged harddrive).
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I have to admit that the lack of response is somewhat frustrating...

My computer was formatted but I need to access my old content on my itunes backups. Is there any way I can acquire these iTunes backup files ever again?

I tried recovery software but had no luck!

You reformatted the drive in your computer. The backup files you want to access were overwritten when you re-formatted the drive. They are gone. There may be data recovery services that can get them back. Search google if you want. This has absolutely nothing to do with using an iPhone at this point. You deleted files on your computer...

My macbook pro crashed and the hard drive was replaced. How do I restore my backup pre- 9.6 iphoto library to the 9.6.1 iphoto library? They look completely different.

My macbook pro crashed and the hard drive was replaced. How do I restore my backup pre- 9.6 iphoto library to the 9.6.1 iphoto library? They look completely different. When I look at my backed-up iphoto library folder I see lots of files and folders: ALbumData.xml, Attachments folder, etc. The 9.6.1 iphoto library doesn't appear to be a folder at all. Help!

iPhoto 6 and earlier libraries were regular folders with the kind of files your reporting. With the advent of iPhoto 7 the library folder was changed to a package similar to the application packages but have essentially the same files and folders inside. There's no reason to have access to the inside of the iPhoto Library so Apple changed them to packages.
Do you have a backup copy of the iPhoto Library from before the HD crash. If so restore it to the Pictures folder in your Home folder. If you previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 or earlier download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 on your library before trying to open it with iPhoto 9.6.1.

Hi, I'm new at this but I am hoping someone can help me.I have recently been away for 5 weeks and my Tom Tom required updating.When I clicked to update it, it required a pc. As I didn't have access to a pc it wouldn't work is there any way to do this without a pc? I was without this app for 3 weeks! Thanks, Lea

The process to update your Tom Tom is a big data file, you will need to be connected to a Wi-Fi network for it to download. If will take about an hour.

I imported the info from my phone to my wife's phone by mistake. She lost her contacts, texts, and photos. Is there any way to get that stuff back? Could it be stored on our Mac somewhere?

I imported info from my phone to my wife's phone by mistake. She lost her photos, texts, and contacts. Basically my phone is her phone now. Is there any way I can get her stuff back on her phone? We also have a Mac computer. Could that info be saved on it?

If there's no backup, then there is nothing to restore.
In iTunes, under Edit > Preferences > Backups it should list the name that was assigned to the device.

If an email alias was deleted, is there any way to get that alias back?

I was a .Mac and a MobileMe user and long ago I had created an email alias and subsequently deleted it. Is there any way to retrieve it for use now?
As an anecdotal observation, I have wondered why so many providers do not recycle (or allow to be reclaimed) deleted user names, email addresses and email aliases. It seems a waste to permanently "retire" such valuable and limited resources. I admire Twitter for allowing such flexibility.

There have been complaints of this sort from people trying to create completely new aliases: I don't know whether this is the same thing or is related to yours being a previously existing on.
You could try MobileMe Support (I know you're on iCloud but there is no free support for that unless you happen to have AppleCare, and MobileMe Support have helped some people). Go to http://www.apple.com/support/mobileme/ww/ and select your country. In the next window click on a category to expand it, then on a subject to get a link to 'live chat'.

I made a big mistake. I downloaded a Windows version of Adobe Acrobat for my Mac. Is there any way to get that changed?

I made a big mistake. I paid almost $500 for Adobe Acrobat and realized the whole time I was paying for a Windows version of the software. Is there any way I can change the software without having to buy a new license for the program?

HT204150 I had a backup in iCloud dated 8-23-2013. When I updated my iPhone, it seems as though all my saved info has gone away. Is there any way to get that info back?

I backed my iPhone up on 08-23-2013. I lost my phone and I had to get another one. When I went retrieve my info it is was no longer there. Is there a way to retrieve?

Check the iOS version on your new phone (Settings>General>About>Version). It must be the same or higher as the one you backed up or you won't be able to access the backup without first updating your phone.

Is there any way to get a glass cover for my high res anti glare display?

This may sound silly but I wasn't expecting the high res anti glare macbook pro to not have a glass cover over it. to many this might not be an issue, but I need to be able to use a digital drawing pen over top the surface of my monitor. My previous macbook was the first of the unibodies from 2008 and that works fine. But I guess I should have gone with the hi res glossy. So are there any solid screen protectors available or am I going to have to see about returning this computer. :|

Why don't you instead just use a piece of rounded edge glass in the rare times when your doing that?
Your one of the very few that has to actually draw on their screen, most use a drawing pad Walcom tablet, iPad or import a scan or image into Adobe Illustrator rather than hold their hand up to the screen for hours.
Don't you know you can command shift 3 or 4 to snapshot a image of anything on the screen? SnapZ Pro X will record video?
Seems to me your doing things the wrong way.
The anti-glare MacBook Pro is awesome when you take it to various places and can still see the screen and can't adust the enviroment to suit.

Is there ANY way to get a signed certificate for a cert created by JSSE?

We have tried to send Verisign certificates generated using JSSE, but they complain that the certificates are corrupted. After several conversations with them, we believe that the problem may be that not only do they require the key algorithm to be RSA, but they also require that the signature algorithm be SHA1. Well, when you specify RSA as the key algorithm, the keytool defaults to MD5withRSA as the signature algorithm.
If you try to override that default by using -sigalg and telling it to us SHA1withDSA (which they claim they can accept) then you get this error:
keytool error: java.security.InvalidKeyException: No installed provider supports
this key: sun.security.rsa.RSAPrivateCrtKeyImpl
So, is there a way to use JSSE to generate a certificate that can be signed by a CA (in this case Verisign)?
THANK YOU!

try using keytool as follows: keytool -keyalg
RSA -sigalg SHA1WithRSA <the rest of the
options...>
I think that might be correct as someone else suggested doing that too in the security forum.
I'll post back if it turns out to be the correct solution.
