10.8: Copying calendars over from an unbootable image

My server's hard disk became corrupt and was no longer bootable, nor repairable to the point where it's bootable.  I have a complete disk image of the unbootable volume.  I also have a bootable image of that same server but it's a few months old and I would prefer to have the more up-to-date information.
I have a fresh installation of server up and running pointing to the same open directory server, i.e. the same users.
Assume that no data in the hosted calendars got corrupted. Can I copy a folder from the unbootable volume to the same place in the new server and have my calendar data back again ?  If so, which folder ?
I will, of course, do this when not booted using that volume, so I won't be replacing files while the calendar system is running.

Most of the 10.8 Server content is stored in /Library/Server. Copying that to the new system should go a long way towards getting you back up and running.

  • Can I copy calendar entries from 1 ipad to another using cloud?, Can I copy calendar entries from 1 ipad to another using cloud?

    Can I copy calendar entries from 1 ipad to another using cloud?

    Thanks Quinn, but it doesn't match what I am needing, so I should explain more clearly.
    I am creating a spreadsheet for research references using Numbers. I want to be able to create all the records on the first sheet, and then create subgroups of selected entries on further sheets. I have done this by copying and pasting whole rows, which works, but it means that if I want to update an entry, I have to update it on each sheet: time consuming and prone to error. On other Numbers Spread sheets I have been able to link content in a cell in one sheet with a cell on another, so if one changes, so does the other. I would like to be able to do this with a whole row, or at least a selection of cells in one row.
    I know I could use a database, but Im not sure which one. I have endNote and evernote which I use, but I would still like to have a basic CSV data type system so it can be easily shared with other people.
    Any other thoughts?

  • Can't see photos copied over from old mac - any ideas?

    I copied my photo library over from my old mac (same method as I used for my iTunes library, which worked) to my new one. I just dragged out the original empty library folder and put the one from the old mac in its place. Non of the photos showed up.
    I figured I would deal with it later and have since added photos from my camera. I am now trying to see the older photos but no luck. My photo library, seen from within iPhoto, has albums for the years listed but without the pictures.
    I did the rebuild but that didn't change anything. I tried importing them but iPhoto tells my I can't import them since they are already in the library.
    Anyone know how to solve this?
    Thanks,
    David

    Do you still have a copy of your original library from the old Mac?
    If so try the following:
    1 - copy it again to the Pictures folder.
    2 - download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administartive name in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
    3 - launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and select that library folder to open.
    Now see if the album gets converted correctly. You can move your other iPhoto library folders to the desktop temporarily until you see if this procedure is any more successful.
    Also update to 10.4.9 with the COMBO updater and update Quicktime to the latest version, 7.1.5. Of course repair disk permissions afterward with Disk Utility.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • How can I delete all of my calendars and start over from scratch?

    I am sure this is an easy question because it seems that others before me have probably been in this situation. I wish to delete my calendars (and todo lists, etc) in iCal. In essence I want to start over from scratch as if I had not yet used iCal.
    Do you have any advice on how I can go about doing so?
    Thanks!
    Rod

    Rod,
    Select the calendar(s) you want to delete in the Calendars list on the left side of the iCal window. Then hit the delete key or select Delete from the Edit menu.

  • Can't copy some files from Windows 7 to Mac OSX over network

    Hi,
    I'm running the latest version of Max OSX v10.8.4 on a brand new Macbook Pro.
    I have followed the setup instructions at http://www.7tutorials.com/how-change-workgroup-mac-os-x-easy-networking to access my Macbook from Windows, and http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/24950/how-to-share-a-folder-in-os-x-with-windows/ to share some folders from my Macbook to Windows.
    I am now trying to copy some files from my Windows 7 Pro (SP1) computer to my Mac, and have hit the following problems:
    I can view my Macbook in my list of local networked computers on WIndows, but I cannot access it. Clicking on it causes Windows 7 to try and access it, but then I get a message after a minute saying the network path could not be found. However, if I manually enter the IP address of my Macbook in the Windows address bar (\\192.168.0.191), I can view and access all the shared folders. I can never access the Macbook via it's computer name (\\MACBOOK-ROB).
    I cannot copy some files from Windows to my Macbook shared folders via Windows. There is nothing to distinguish these files from the hundereds of other files that I have successfully copied to my Macbook. They are pictures and music with no special characters in the filenames, not overly long filenames or folder paths, no access restrictions, or any other security restriction that I can see. However, every single attempt to copy these files to my Macbook results in WIndows reporting that access to the destination was denied.
    I have tried both these above scenarios on WiFi and Ethernet, and the results are the same.
    So:
    Why am I unable to access my Macbook by it's computer name on the network? How can Windows see it, but not access it?
    What are the limitations on transferring files over SMB that is (presumably) causing these specific files to fail?
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    I have a fix for inability to copy files. I had the same problem moving a lot of old files across my LAN from a Windows XP machine to a Mac Mini running Mountain Lion. After confirming copy of some special file, I would get an error that terminated the copy operation, and info on the Mac side would show a locked folder.
    I finally decided to eliminate all special files on the Windows side, before copying, by running
         attrib -s -h -r /s /d [drive or folder]\*.*
    in a command window. Running attrib /?  tells what the arguments mean, but it doesn't explain that you need the *.* to make the command go through the hierarchy clearing the special attributes on all the files.
    After I did that, and then used drag and drop between two Windows Explorer windows (one on the Windows drive, on on the target drive on the Mac), the whole move operation ran to completion without stopping either for error or to ask for confirmation.
    I do not have a fix for the inability to access some computers by name rather than by IP address. I'm looking into the possibility of activating bind on the Mac but I haven't done anything yet.

  • Why has iTunes seperated a album which I have copied over from my external hard drive into iTunes? How can you pull all the songs back together into one album again?

    Why has iTunes seperated a album into indevidual songs, which I have copied over from my external hard drive into iTunes? How can you pull all the songs back together into one album again?

    Steve MacGuire a.k.a. turingtest2 - iTunes & iPod Hints & Tips - Grouping Tracks Into Albums - http://www.samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp (older post on Apple Discussions http://discussions.apple.com/message/9910895)
    Quick answer:  Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist", or check the "compilation" flag (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085).
    If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields.  If they are not a multiple CD set you still need to make sure the disc number fields are set correctly or all empty.

  • I have Elements 13 (I have the hard copy) installed on my iMac using Yosemite. I do all my iPhoto work on an external drive where I have copied my iPhoto Library, can I also install Elements 13 on my external harddrive or drag Elements 13 over from my iMa

    I have Elements 13 (I have the hard copy) installed on my iMac using Yosemite. I do all my iPhoto work on an external drive where I have copied my iPhoto Library, can I also install Elements 13 on my external harddrive or drag Elements 13 over from my iMac so that I can do work with Elements 13 via the exteranl hard drive? Thanks tb

    Yes you can store images on an external hard dive and have them referenced in Organizer. It’s best to export copies to separate folders/subfolders and that will ensure iPhoto does not get corrupted.
    Alternatively you could continue to use iPhoto with the Elements Editor set up in the iPhoto prefs as your external editing app. Then there is no need to use Organizer and no need to duplicate your images.
    You can then call up photos directly from iPhoto as normal with the additional option e.g.
    Double-click on a thumbnail to edit in iPhoto editor.
    Control (right) - click on a thumbnail to edit in the elements app.

  • Issue with Copy of events from Outlook Calendar to SharePoint 2010 calendar(mapped in outlook)

    There is a issue while copying events in Outlook mapped SharePoint 2010 Calendar.
    This issue only seems to happen when user copies an event from his Outlook calendar to the SharePoint 2010 calendar. 
    He is able to create a new event in the SharePoint calendar from Outlook. 
    He tried below steps, but still no success
    1.
    Open your Outlook calendar.
    2. Open the event you want to copy.
    3. From the File menu, select Info.
    4. Click the Move to Folder button.
    5. In the Copy Items To dialog box, scroll down to the SharePoint Lists item and select the SharePoint calendar to which you want to copy the event.
    6. Click the OK button.
    7. Click the Yes button when prompted to continue. 
    Please let me know if there is any possible solution for it.

    Hi,
    I have done a test as your steps. I am able to copy an event from my Outlook calendar to the SharePoint 2010 calendar.
    1. I suggest you test in another compute, perhaps your Outlook results to that issue.
    2. Please create a new site collection, then test again, compare the result.
    3. Maybe it will take some time before the copied event displays in the SharePoint 2010 calendar. So, wait a minute, compare the result. 
    Best Regards,

  • HT5029 Is there a way to copy an event from a subscribed (non-iCloud) calendar to an iCloud calendar?

    Is there a way to copy an event from a public, subscribed calendar to a private calendar? I've tried the "Copy" entry as well as the calendar selection list, but neither work for me for non-iCloud subscribed calendars. It seems like I should be able to copy and event from one calendar into another.

    Hi,
    It works here.
    Control-Click the event and select 'copy'. Click on the calendar you want to paste the event to, so it is highlighted with a grey background. Then select 'paste'.
    Best wishes

  • Copy my MAC Calendar file from iCloud to my iPhone 5S

    If it is already in iCloud just go to Settings/iCloud and turn on Calendar. It will then remain in sync with your Mac calendar and any other devices that are connected to the same iCloud account.

  • How do I copy my appointments from my imac calendar to my new iphone5 calendar?

    How do I sync or copy my appointments from my imac calendar to my new iphone 5 calendar?

    Through the iTunes program.  But, with the iPhone 5, you need to have iTunes version 10.7.  You also need to have an Intel-based iMac running at least OS 10.6.8.
    If you have an older PowerPC iMac (G3, G4, G5), running OS 105.8 or older, you can't sync a new iPhone 5 with it.
    If you have an Intel-based iMac, running at least 10.6.8, and iTunes version 10.7, when you connect the iPhone to your iMac through the phones included Lightning to USB cable, iTunes should automatically launch.  When the iTunes window appears, in the column on the leftside of the window, you should see Devices, and under that, the iPhone should be listed.
    If this is your first time syncing the phone, it will walk you through it.  At the top of the window you'll see buttons for Music, Photos, Videos, Apps, Tones, Mail and Contacts, and other items that you can click on and decide what items you want to sync to the iPhone.
    Here is a link to the iPhone discussion forum:

    Enjoy your new iPhone 5.
    Good luck.

  • Batch Number Not copied over from Production order to Confirmation

    Dear Experts,
    In the production order, I specify the batch # for the components.  But when I do the confirmation, the batch number for the components is not getting copied over. 
    Can anyone suggest what has to be done.
    Regards
    Tom

    Dario, I have not saved my confirmation.  But when I execute CO11N and go to "Goods Movement" tab, I expect the Batch to be copied from the production order for the components.  But the batch field is Blank.
    How do we make the batch field to be copied over from the production order.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Can you run Preview from 10.4 on 10.5 if you copy it over?

    Hi,
    Given a few of the annotation limitations on Preview that ships with 10.5 I am currently adding annotations to pdf's via vnc to a 10.4 machine.
    I am wondering if anyone knows if you can safely run preview from 10.4 on 10.5 if you copy it over? Does it mess with your plist?
    Thanks in advance..

    It won't run "as is" you'll get a notice about it being the wrong version. However, a you can make it run if you want (I did because it does not have the "mushy looking pix" problems). See this:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5899045
    Scroll to the bottom and see KCunningham and my comments on altering the info.plist and version.plist inside. I named my copy OldPreview, and it and the new Preview co-exist just fine.

  • I copied a calendar item from Outlook to the Calendar app.  I can't delete it and the reminder for the meeting repeats itself every few seconds.

    I copied a calendar item from Outlook to the Calendar app.  I can't delete it and the reminder repeats itself every few seconds.  How can I stop the reminder?  How can I delete the calendar item?

    Can you access in on icloud.com and delete the event?  If not, and force-quitting didn't help, try going to System Preferences>iCloud, uncheck Calendars, choose Delete from Mac when prompted (they will still be in iCloud), then restart your Mac and go back and check Calendars again.
