My hard drive failed and I had to replace it. I want to restore from time machine but there are some applications and folders I want to exclude from the back up. Is this possible?
Yes. Partition and format the new drive, then install Mountain Lion from scratch. When finished you can restore what you want, manually, from your Time Machine backup.
Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless. -
Apple TV mirroring only working for iTunes
When I first got my apple TV, my Macbook Pro 17" worked with display mirroring. After upgrading to OSX 10.8.1, only iTunes will mirror to the TV. I have tried rebooting all devices ...
What gives/
Why did this break!?
Thanks!
seanIt is a "last generation" Macbook pro I bought right before the retina displays came out and the 17 inch disappeared from the apple store. The apple TV was bought 2 months ago. Its the newest version on the latest software as well...

How can I backup only what I want in iTunes?
I have backed up my iTunes library to DVDs but could not figure out how to avoid backing up podcasts (which I delete after listening to anyway) and how to back up my Audible purchases? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Wish I'd known that before I bought an ext HD.
Why? An external hard drive is actually a MUCH easier way to back up your iTunes library.
Assuming you use the iTunes default settings where iTunes copied added items to your iTunes folder and organizes your library (meaning - everything is all self contained in the iTunes folder), then all you have to do is drag & drop your iTunes folder (not just the iTunes Music folder you find inside the iTunes folder) to the external drive and copy the entire thing.
If you want to test that it worked or would like to actually start using it from that location instead, use these instructions when you start iTunes to point it to the new location...

If you are just testing, then close iTunes after you verify it works, and restart iTunes again with the same instructions and point it back to your internal drive (original) location.

Apple: PLease give us what we want!
Wouldn't it be nice if Apple listened to its customers. I keep coming across the same question every time Iweb is updated, such as How to change the look of the navigator menu? How to link to a certain part of a page ect... If it wasn't for all the people who answer our questions, I for one would be screwed! Apple, please listen to us and give us what we have been asking for for a long time!
PS. I hope you guys such as Old Toad, Ethmoid, Cyclosaurus ect.. realise how much we appreciate your help!Wouldn't it be nice if Apple listened to its customers
Don't hold your breath.
I keep coming across the same question every time Iweb is updated, such as How to change the look of the navigator menu? How to link to a certain part of a page ect...
Much can be done now in iweb3 but the iweb team has kept everything 'close to their vest'.
I know how to get thru and into iweb with javascript widget, I hinted here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9198048
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9193217
but an average joe can't, so it is up to iweb team to have an open framework/API that we (the technical people and average joe) can work with... as dashcode for dashboard widget.
FYI, I use dashcode to create my own iweb widgets.

Thanks for acknowledged us, and please give them feedback. -
Will Apple TV work for what I want to do?
Hello,
I currently don't have a DVD player as it broke. I was going to invest in one, but I was thinking of spending the money on Apple TV instead.
Question - can I take the DVD's I currently have in my collection and have them run through my iMac onto my Apple TV? Would I have to download the DVD? Would I have to rip it to run through iTunes? I don't mind the extra step if it means I get the advantages of Apple TV over buying a replacement DVD player.
Thanks,

No.

"Ripping" DVDs is not legal in the U.S. and the terms of use of these forums prohibit us from discussing it. iTunes has no ability to rip DVDs. -
Logic 8! Put down what we want in the next version. They need to know!
I been using Logic Pro 7 since it came out. Apple updated everything else in there app line but not logic. So lets give Apple some ideas of what we want in the new version. If they don't know what we want we will all be complaining when a new version does come out. Below are just some of the things I want to be added or changed.
1. New GUI - Apple I know you can make it great (Need some help let me know). Not just the program but your plug-in's too! I seen you spiced them up in Soundtrack Pro 2.
2. More plug-in's
3. Update your current plugins such as ultrabeat. Get something going like toontrack dfh superior for great real sounding drums.
4. Get some pro engineered samples included (drums, bass, guitar, cello, strings, etc.)
5. Create a better mixer - Let users customize everything about it.
6. More customizable interface
and more coming soon...
I know these are just mostly cosmetic and add-on stuff i listed but I will put some better stuff later. Come on everyone put want you want let them make the best audio program every!My top wishes:
1. The ability to import Sonar projects. Before I made the big switch to Mac, I was using Sonar under Windows. I still have a million unfinished songs I was working on in Sonar that I'd like to import into Logic. Apple does want to make the transition from Windows to Mac easy, doesn't it?
2. Improved user interface. If Apple isn't already aware that Logic's UI needs to be revamped, then, well, we have a problem. Now, people usually figure out Garage Band without any trouble in a short time, at the same time as Logic has an enormously steep learning curve. I think a lot of Logic's learning curve is unnecessary and stems from a very unconventional and non-standard way of working. So ... Logic needs to dump the weirdness and just redo the whole interface as a standard Mac app ... even with some flair.
And then there are the annoyances, like the Cycle feature sitting right on top of the Song Position Line. I must mistakenly click on the Cycle area at least a dozen times an hour while I'm working, with a disruption every time. What on earth were they thinking?
3. Better support for MIDI hardware synths. I have a Motif rack ES, Triton Extreme, E-mu Vintage Pro with some extra expansion ROMs, ... I expected to be able to just hook these synths up and load some instrument definitions that come bundled with Logic (like you can do with Sonar). Boy, was I wrong! Holy Moly! It took me something like two weeks to get those synths set up, with a huge waste of my time poking around the Internet, entering a lot of information by hand, and fiddling with Logic's very confusing Environment. Not doesn't Apple bundle the common synth definitions with Logic, they don't even maintain a central repository where people can share those things. And nobody else has a really good repository either. This is a totally unacceptable mess.
In principle, there's a lot of power in the Environment concept. The problem is that it's too complex to figure out, and Environments are too hard to share, and there aren't enough of them available for download or bundled with Logic.

I dropped my iphone 5 in the water, its dead and when I try to charge it the apple logo comes and goes, thats my only sign of life, I've done many after market repairs but what I want to know is if I should replace the ligntning port or the battery... or just buy a galaxy s5?
If you dropped it in water, and then plugged it in, you may very well have destroyed the battery and/or the logic board. Charging/plugging in to a power source is very damaging to wet electronic devices. There is not much you can do but replace the entire iPhone...and since you did repairs yourself Apple will not do an out-of-warranty replacement.
You can try replacing the battery, the lightning port is another issue, but I would not expect that iPhone to work again. -

I moved from Japan to Australia. I need to change from Japan App Store to the Australian App Store. I get the following message every time I try using My MacID which was set up in Japan: "This Apple ID is only valid for purchases in the Japanese iTunes Store. You will be switched to that Store." At one point... by which path I do not remember... I was instructed to created a new ID. I fill out the new ID forms, but the address is rejected each time... quite confusing. Does it want a new name? But it says I cannot use an apple domain (tag?) even though I guess it has to be an apple address... ? So I have iTunes crdit cards purchansed in Australia, can't spend in AUstralian iTunes Store, get directed back to Japan each time, and can't open a new ID... What am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance. John. Australia.
You must have a separate Apple ID registered in the other store along with a valid bank-issued charge card in the other country, and a legal billing address in the other country.
Sorry... But... You cannot use other countries itunes stores.
You must be within the Country with a Valid Billing Address and Credit Card for that Country to use the iTunes Store of that Country..

I have created a lengthy slideshow with music on my MacBook Pro under Iphoto. What steps do I need to take in order to burn a DVD copy of this slideshow? "Help" does not offer info for this transaction, only if you want to export to another Apple device and it shows that you must first export to Itunes. Can anyone help me with information on just copying to a DVD? I don't want to email it or show it on another Apple device. I want to be able to burn multiple copies on DVDs as a gift...... Can it be done? I'm not real computer savvy

Can you help me on something? I restored my iPod and everything I had was gone. (What I Wanted) But then when I looked at my Usage It said I only have 22.5 GB Available and I Used 6.0 But I didn't. I also looked at my Backup storage and it still had all of my backup from before I restored. I deleted all my backup because it said I used all of my Backup Available. And now when I try and backup it says there is no more room or whatever to backup and Its 5/5.
You are not addressing Apple here. We are all just users like yourself

No app on the iOS device is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod/iPhone/iPad on the iOS device in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected or cellular data is on and connected for, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or continue to show off-line.
- You can also wipe/erase the iOS device and have the device play a sound via iCloud.
iCloud: Erase your device
iCloud: Use Lost Mode
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the device and report to police and carrier if iPhone or cellular iPad
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the erase (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 or later on the device. With iOS 7 or later, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
