I have Time Machine that I used to back up my old computer. It was running snow leopard. My MacBook died, so I got a new one which is running Lion. how can I restore the data from the time capsule to my new Mac?
In technical support, sometimes you have to make educated guesses. I'm sorry that you were offended.
iTunes does prompt when it is going to erase a device, and the message is clear.
She said in her message that she was able to successfully sync the old ipad. This indicated to me that itunes wiping the data was not an issue, because either it had been setup at the apple store (in which case it doesn't actually wipe the ipad despite saying it will*) (*based on a single case I saw), or because the itunes media folder was migrated.
Furthermore, my solution was to tell her how to backup her ipad (by either doing it manually, or as a last resort, by deleting the corrupt backup -- that she couldn't access anyway.)
I got that last part of the instructions from the "Taking Control of your iphone" book which I found samples of when I did a google search for "corrupted backup itunes".
She marked this as a solution, so it worked for her. -
I used the Migration Assistant to move data from my Time Machine to my new Mac. Most data seems to have been transferred successfully but none of my iPhoto pictures have been transferred.
My Time Machine now shows the earliest available Back-up to be after the Migration Date. My iPhoto pictures seem to have either been lost in the migration process or are locked in my Time Machine prior to the earliest back-up date now accessible.
Any advice on recovering my old iPhoto pictures would be greatly appreciated.First go to iPhoto Preferences, look in both General and Advanced tabs to make sure that things are set to import from camera into iPhoto.
Then if that doesn't help, connect the camera and open Image Capture in your Applications > Utilities folder and see if you can use Image Capture to reset the import path from the camera to iPhoto.

I have recently transferred data from my old PC to my new Mac Book Pro (Mavericks OS). Each transfer creates a new User account (titled 'Owner', 'Owner 1', etc). I want to merge / consolidate the files from these newly created User accounts into my main user account. Is there a tutorial for this process, or any tips? Anyone?
Four transfers. After the initial attempt with Migration Assistant failed (after hours and hours of wifi transfer) I did "mini-transfers" of more manageable, smaller bits of files -- my music in one, photos in another, etc. Since posting my question in this forum, i contacted Apple support, chatted with Angela, and she suggested getting an ethernet-USB adapter for my mac, connecting my external drive with ethernet and transferring files manually -- that is, NOT using the Migration Assistant at all. She sent me this link to help: Switch Basics: Migrate your Windows files to your Mac. I appreciate your response, tho', Csound1!

I just purchased a new iPad air and need to transfer the data from my old iPad to the new one. I have to return my old iPad to my company on Mon 2/17/14
Connect the old iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy your purchases off it and over to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, then take a backup of it (File > Devices > Back Up) and restore that backup onto the new iPad (restoring a backup onto a different device won't copy passwords, so you will need to enter your email account passwords, router password, and any passwords stored on Safari on your new iPad).

This is my first Apple product and probably the last - IOS 8.0.2 issues
I got a very bad taste of poor Apple software releases (IOS 8.0.2) in my Ipad, I expected the release to make things better but looks like I am in living **** with this update. Here is a short list of litany of issues
1) Safari crashes "a problem occurred with the webpage so it was reloaded" and crashes. I tried Google Chrome, it just crashes as well. Tried restart, clearing cache etc without any success
2) Multitasking gestures doesn't work, pinch to home screen works sporadically (very unreliable, I need to turn off and turn on this feature to make it work again)
I found so many issues in few minutes of use that I almost want to throw the ipad to the thrash. I didn't expect such a poor quality product and service from Apple.If you use the Mail App and configure a Yahoo account you can then select up to 5 pictures from the Photo App and mail them as a single e-mail.

How do i transfer my data from my old ipad to my new mac
how do i
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.
Any attempts to sync the iDevice on the new computer without doing this will wipe the device and replace the existing contents with contents from the new, blank library.
iDevices are not storage devices, they are merely mirrors of the content in iTunes. -
I began having problems with my iphone 5 after I updated to ios7. It began having several issues e.g. freezing, turning on and off by itself and the home button was not responding.
It is a long story because I had to talk to apple reps etc. to make a long story short; my iphone is now in recovery mode and only works when it is set as a new iphone.
Now my back up data on itunes will not back up into my iphone 5 and my iphone is still in recovery mode.
How can I restore my itunes back up data into my iphone 5?
How can I get my phone out of recovery mode?
How can I recover my potentially lost data, contacts, sms, etc., due to backing up my iphone and trying to fix the issues with apple reps?ArmanG wrote:
Should I just let the energy run out and then plug it into iTunes and see what happens?

I just got a New Home Computer, and all of my iPod data is stuck to my crappy old laptop. How can I transfer all of my data, including non-purchased items to my new computer?

Also make sure you copy your iPod backup to the new computer. You can find its location here:

Yu really want to move/copy your entire iTunes folder (and subfolders), not just the music. -

I just recently purchase an ipad with retina display it is also my first apply product and I am not liking it. First it won't stay connected to my wifi and it won't pair on my nokia N8 phone via bluetooth. Any suggestion? Thanks!
No one from Apple here - this is a user-to-user forum for the Apple Thunderbolt Display. If you don't like your iPad, sell it.
If you want to ask questions about your iPad, go to the iPad community forum.
