Backup / Restore of RSS preferences

Basic question, I'm sure I'm missing something simple:
I have had to do backup/restore of my machine a few times recently (long story) but each time i restore my safari preferences my RSS feeds don't seem to update - eventually I go clicking thru preferences and thru trial and error they get going again. But the Safari RSS preferences must be stored in a plist or something, right? Are they somewhere special?
Generally, I backup and restore ~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist and ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist. What else do i need to restore to make sure my feeds work again?!
TIA for any advice..

The RSS feeds are contained in a database file found at User Library>Syndication. You may see files in this folder with "damaged" as part of the name. This represents corrupted database files since recreated by Safari.
The RSS process is still evolving. Has me mystified at times at how it updates itself. Perhaps Leopard's Safari version will offer something new?

How to BackUp Restore Large Library "original file could not be found"

I've searched the archives for this with no clear answer, and am reposting to avoid confusing anyone.
I am working on a manual and seamless BACKUP-RESTORE process to manage my large 100-gigabyte-plus iTunes library.
+++++
First, my iTunes folder is in default location:
Boot drive> User> Music
I don't keep any music in this folder.
New music is imported into this folder, copied over to my Music Library, and then deleted from iTunes folder (to keep it and my boot drive clean, and my 100GB Music Library folder meticulously organized).
My iTunes folder is set at default:
iTunes> Preferences> Advanced> Change> iTunes Music folder location
My actual 100-gigabyte-plus music folder is stored on a 2nd hard drive:
HardDrive> Music Library
This setup works perfect.
+++++
BACKUP
To backup, I simply:
1) copy my User> Music> iTunes folder (800mb) to a 3rd hard drive.
2) copy my HardDrive> Music Library to 3rd hard drive
RESTORE
To restore, I simply:
1) copy my backup iTunes into User> Music.
2) copy my Music Library back to 2nd hard drive HardDrive.
3) Relaunch iTunes and every works perfect.
THE PROBLEM
However, if I change the name of my 2nd hard drive (where my 100GB music folder is stored) — iTunes shows everything in place — all songs, art, playlists — but I get following error on every song:
THE SONG NAMED ______ COULD NOT BE USED BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL FILE COULD NOT BE FOUND. WOULD YOU LIKE TO LOCATE IT?
Obviously I don't want to have to do this individually for 30,000 songs and am looking for instructions how to point iTunes database back to my 2nd hard drive> Music Library and complete the restore process.
I am hoping this can be done without changing my work flow — and it is a simple and logical move to tell iTunes where all the original files (missing songs) are stored.
+++++
Previous discussions have noted:
Following this Apple Support Doc
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589
I was able to Quit iTunes, relaunch iTunes holding Option key, and chose my existing library (from my Music folder) — it works, everything shows up — but iTunes still doesn't know where my songs are (on my 2nd hard drive).
If I point the Option+Open iTunes library prompt to my 100GB Music Library (on the 2nd hard drive), it tells me (logically) there is no library there).
I've also launched and manually verifies iTunes> Preferences> Advanced> Change> iTunes Music folder location — it works, everything shows up — but iTunes still doesn't know where my songs are (on my 2nd hard drive).
I anticipate more complications if I reset iTunes preferences to my 2nd hard drive or start dinking around trying to see what works and what does not work.
+++++
At this point I am trying to make THIS workflow, backup-restore process work — so I am hoping someone else has slugged through this and can take a few minutes to clue me in the right direction (or at least tell me there is no way to do what I am trying).

If I simply rename the second hard drive to the name of the original 2nd hard drive — iTunes is successfully restored.
I am still looking for a better way because I want to change the name of the second HD...

Switch Device Wizard vs Backup/Restore Option

If I am getting a repalcement Blackberry (8820)- same model as I currently have; would you reccomend that I use the Switch Device Wizard instead of the backup/restore process? Or would the restore process get me the same data?
I have an Enterprise Outlook email address (from my employer) and some downloaded links for news, weather, finance, etc. I have setup my currently blackberry the way that I would like the new one to be. Is that possible with either the Switch Device or restore process?
For the application loader - if I have Windows Vista Business on my laptop and Office 2003 or 2007, can I download the Microsoft applications to my Blackberry? Is that how the application loader functions?

If you're on a BES, your data, including your Browser Shortcuts, Profile Preferences will be restored to your device from the BES when you run the Enterprise Activation.

For a list of databases, check here:
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB03974
No, you can not install applications like Office 2007 on your BlackBerry. For a pretty long list of applications you CAN install on your BlackBerry (most with OTA or Over The Air installations available), check here:

How to restore lost Finder preferences in 10.6.5?

Running 10.6.5 on a MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz i5.
In each Finder window, I had, over months and years, set up a specific setting according to my needs:
Some windows had different background color;
Some windows were set to list view, some to icon view;
Some had icons of a certain size, some had icons of a smaller or larger size;
Various windows were sized and arranged on the screen to meet various requirements;
and most importantly, in each window the icons in icon view were often arranged in a specific organizational pattern.
In fact, this is how I organized my work flow -- moving icons from one area of a Finder window to another to represent their various stages of completion in projects.
I've been using Finder this way for years, never a problem.
But after a recent Shut Down and Restart, for no apparent reason, ALL of my existing Finder preferences were wiped away for every window.
Now, all windows have been reset to have the same background color, all windows the same size and the same location on the screen, all be in icon view, have the icons all be the same (maximum) size, and worst of all all rearranged alphabetically in a grid. All my customization was wiped clean, and all windows reset to what I presume was the default appearance.
No data or files were lost, as far as I can tell. The computer seems to be functioning perfectly as it always does in every other way. The only thing that went wrong was that the Finder preferences were zeroed out and reset.
For most people, this really wouldn't be much of a problem, as they don't really use the Finder icons and windows to organize concepts and workflow as I do; but for me this is a disaster, because now I've lost track of all sorts of "information" encoded in how each window appeared and how icons were arranged.
I could laboriously by hand try to restore each window to how I thought it was, but there are literally hundreds or thousands of windows, each containing in some cases hundreds of icons representing hundreds of work files in various stages of completion, and the whole process would take me weeks to get it back to the way it was, and even then it would certainly be inaccurate, as I'd be relying on my memory.
So my question is: Is there any way to get back and restore my Finder preferences to the way they were before this mysterious "Finder Amnesia Event," or whatever it was? Or do i just resign myself to accepting this setback and go about restoring each window's set-up by hand?

No, probally not.
But there are security issues with 10.6.5 and you really need to Apple menu> Software Update to 10.6.8 right away.
Perhaps that's is what caused it?

How do I backup/restore multiple IPhone on one computer

Hi everyone
Need some help here. I work as a helpdesk and recently most of the IPhones are now due for upgrade. What is the best way to backup the data from old Iphone and restore to new Iphone for multiple users on one computer? Basically everyone expects to hand me their old phone and new phone, and when they get the new phone back, the new phone will have the same data as it was on the old one.
I have done backup/restore just for myself before. Is there a easier way to do for multiple users on the same computer?
Any input will be appreciated
Thanks
Charlie

First of all, thanks for quick reply.
How about backup to icloud and then restore from icloud? I did not bring it up because I do not want the backup/restore to cripple to network.
I would normally ask the users to take their old phone and new phone to AT&T store or Apple store to get it done. But as I work in corp office, and all I dealt with are the CEO, CFO, etc. They want the upgrade process done and without them getting involved (I try to keep it that way to make them happy).
any thoughts?
Charlie

I have a new SIM/service and want to transfer all my contacts from the current 4S to the new SIM in my old 3GS. I do NOT want to backup/restore the entire phone contents (iTunes or iCloud), JUST the contacts. How?

Current phone 4S with service from one provider. Also have a new SIM with another provider, and want to copy my contacts from the 4S across to my old 3GS which I will be using for a bit as an alternative. Definitely do not want anything except the contacts copied across so a full backup/restore is NOT what I'm after, and I can't see (in the iTunes backup) how to only do the contacts.

Sorry, my bungle - from what devices I am used to - these Apple things still have me confused at times.
The core requirement is the same - to get the contacts from the 4S onto the 3GS without backing up the whole device/apps etc.
And a second part of that is how to get the contacts onto a SIM for a device that DOES store them there. No doubt that will be a problem as it only has name/number combos, not all the fruit the iPhone keeps under a contact. Maybe it can't done. A simple export to CSV or something that could be edited would suffcie if there were an import tool to get it onto the SIM in the simpler format.

Windows Vista 64-bit and the Backup & Restore....

I've recently found out that Backup & Restore is not supported by Vista 64-bit. So, all the backups that did not complete and has the error message (0x8007002), all the backups are of no use. All of my documents, pictures, music, original
music materials, etc., are all gone. Can't even open the error-ed backups! Can my system be restore to it's original settings before the backup fiasco? I am at a lost to what can be done!
Sincerely (feeling hopeless)

Backup restoring procedure in system9

anybody has documents or links which talks about backup / restore complete system9 products . ?

Hi,
I tell what I usually do.
I have EssBase and its apps in a server, and SharedServices in another one, so that, I have to do different backups.
First, make a Full backup for the ...\Hyperion folder with any backup tool (ntbackup and/or veritas in my case) and then, differential backups.
In the other server a use a script to make local copies of the SharedServices folder to mantain 1 copy per day.
On the other hand, you have to backup you SQL bases. I use de ms SQLServer tool for that.
This is a copy of my script to backup SharedServices (anyone who "lost" OpenLDAP service knows what I'm talking about..) that I scheduled to run every day. Please note that SharedServices has its own script to backup the directory, and it works fine.
++NOTE: %HYPBKP% is a system variable that I set in windows
echo "OPENLDAP Backup Log File" >SS_BKP.log
echo "######################" >>SS_BKP.log
Date /T >>SS_BKP.log
Time /T >>SS_BKP.log
echo "######################" >>SS_BKP.log
cd %HYPBKP%
RMDIR /S /Q SharedServices-OLD
REN SharedServices-7 SharedServices-OLD
REN SharedServices-6 SharedServices-7
REN SharedServices-5 SharedServices-6
REN SharedServices-4 SharedServices-5
REN SharedServices-3 SharedServices-4
REN SharedServices-2 SharedServices-3
REN SharedServices-1 SharedServices-2
REN SharedServices SharedServices-1

I hope this help you.
Good luck

Backup/Restore from PC Suite with N71 worthless

Hi,
I have used Backup from PC Suite (Version 6.82.22.0) to backup my N71 data before I gave the N71 to a repair shop. The N71 camera was not working.
After four weeks I got a N71 replacement. A brand new N71 with a different serial number which is not good because some S60 apps now no longer work.
But anyway the real surprise I got was after I run Restore from PC Suite to get all data back. The Restore finished without any error but almost nothing useful was restored!!
No Contacts, No Messages, No phone Setup (Themes, Bluetooth Config, Apps).
Huh???
Is this really how Backup/Restore from PC Suite with a Symbian S60 3rd Nokia N71 us supposed to work??
If yes, than Backup is utterly worthless!!
I am not aware that I did something wrong. I have used Backup regularly and never got any error messages.
But it is painfully obvious that the most important data from the phone are not saved!
All the Restore did was restore some audio and image files and the Notes contents.
Regards,
Gagome

you can check the backup log for the details of the backuped content. or try this tool to view the content of the .nbu.
What's the law of the jungle?

I sold my iPhone4, and I need to restore it before shipping it. The buyer has asked that I don't install iOS6. Is this possible? Does the restore process force iOS6 onto the phone? Before I backup/restore it, it has iOS5.1.1 installed.

Backup/restore tablespaces in noarchivelog mode

In our office there is a oracle 10g box that's used for testing purposes.
It's only got 1 database, but each user has their own tablespace.
As it's not a 'live' box, archivelog and flashrecovery have been disabled by the dba probably in favour of speed.
I have a NUnit test suit that runs across a tablespace, and I am trying to restore the tablespace before each run.
In noarchivelog mode, RMAN allows me to take the tablespace offline, and create a backup - so far so good.
Later on, I am able to take the tablespace offline again, and issue a "RESTORE TABLESPACE" command.
But then I cannot bring the tablespace online without issuing a "RECOVER" command.
I have tried the NOREDO option but it still says that the file needs a media recovery before it can be brought online.
Is there a way to bring the tablespace online without applying the REDO logs ?
Or is tablespace backup/restore not possible because of noarchivelog ?
Thanks.

I tried the TTS method, and it was only marginally quicker than a data_only impdp.
I suspect this is due to the nature of a fresh nunit test database, where the metadata (huge tables structure, stored proc, etc) is often larger than the table contents itself.
In the grand scheme of things it might even end up slower, as i need to drop the tablespace including contents if i want to use TTS to load up the backed up dbf.
From the comments I'm guessing that there's no way of just updating the timestamp of the tablespace without applying the REDO logs then ?
I've tested other methods as well.
Flash recovery could only work on a table or db level, I can't take the db offline as there are other users on it with their own tablespace/schemas. (it was an old dev's box, we're reusing what we can)
impdb with the truncate and data_only flag seems to be the only viable option so far, with TTS up for consideration.

Erase and sync issues (backup/restore)

Hello.
I have an issue with the backup/restore with my iPhone.
Sometimes, it is difficult to find an answer that fits your problem exactly on the forum! Lots of good stuff though!
This post will be little longer than normal, but I need to get all the facts on the table.
I'll try to keep this brief. Please hear me out!
From another post ...
https://discussions.apple.com/message/12273122
Kwopau stated ...
if you do a restore, you only have 2 options, Restore as new, meaning nothing will go on it
and you will just have to start fresh and no contacts will go in there.
The other option is "Restore from Back up _______" it will completely restore your phone
from your last back up and everything will be on there.
End of quote ...
Here is my situation.
I have a 3g 16GB iPhone.
I am still running IOS 3 (not IOS 4).
I do not use sync. I manually manage the music and books with iTunes.
I have an HP laptop.
A while ago, I had to completely rebuild the computer.
The computer has a new computer and user name (I don't know if this matters in iTune/iPhone matchup)?
I have not been able to connect the iPhone since then.
Let me rephrase that.
I can connect with iTunes. I can see all that is on the iPhone.
When I try to add or delete music or books on the iPhone with iTunes or set the manually manage check box, I get the following message ...
The iPhone "myname's iPhone" is synced with another iTunes library.
Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with the this iTunes library.
Most commands appear to be grayed out, I can't add or delete anything.
I do not have anything in current iTunes library at the moment.
My fear is this.
If I do the erase and sync as suggested (iPhone message above) to the iPhone and then use the new iTunes library, will I be able to use the backup (I just created) to restore to the iPhone that I just reset?
If so, will it have contacts and all the other stuff?
I can afford to lose the music and books, and perhaps the apps on the iPhone.
I cannot afford to lose my contact list.
I need to find another way to backup the contact list, Outlook, etc?
If there other posts relative to this, please point me to them.
I am afraid to pull the trigger for fear that iTunes will not recognize the iPhone after the erase and sync and then not allow me to restore.
Perhaps someone can put my mind at ease and convince me that it will all be good if I proceed!
Thanks for you time and help in this matter ...

Do you know how to transfer purchases? Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes. Click on the iPad nema on the left side of the iTunes window to select it. Then go to File>Transfer Purchases. That should put all of your purchased iPad content into the iTunes library on the PC.
Here are instructions in a very short, easy to follow article.
Transfer iTunes Library to a new computer
This discussion will be helpful to show you how to make the PC work wTunes from the iPad.

This is the discussion from which I borrowed the some of the text in my post from the discussion above.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
What puzzles me is that if you had updated with the PC, I would have thought that you would have backed up and synced with that PC as well, but read the articles and instructions and post back with questions.
You can email the pdf files to the iPad, or use iOS file sharing, and open and save them in iBooks or another pdf reader app, but start with getting your stuff onto the PC.

Backup - Restore process of a Site Collection in SharePoint Online

Hi, I have a couple of questions.
1) What do I have to do to get a backup-restore of a site collection in SharePoint Online?
2) Can I myself perform a backup-restore or just backup a site collection without using any 3rd party tool?
Any inputs on these will be helpful. Thanks in advance!

Hi,
what you can instead of backup and restore site is to save it as template, check this thread
