Can I restore a memeo auto backup created in Vista on a time capsule onto a Macbook pro?
I have a pc running vista sp2 and using Memeo auto backup software but backed it up to a TimeCapsule (we also have an iMac and a Macbook Pro in the house). The pc has now developed an HDD error and I'm thinking of replacing it with a MacBook Pro but I need to recover or restore all the files (.docx; .xls and winmail files plus loads of .jpgs) to the new MacBook Pro. Does anyone know if I can do this? I'd rather not have to buy another windows based pc. I've checked on Memeo's web site and support areas but can't seem to find an answer. Thanks.
I've never personally done this, but I'm qute sure you can. After all, this would be one method of migrating from the MacBook to the MacBook Air (with the assistance of Migration Assistant).

Has anyone encountered this message on their time capsule/machine? Time Machine couldn't complete the backup because the backup disk image"/Volumes/Patti's Time Capsule/Patti's MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" is already in use"?
If you reboot the computer it should fix the problem. Also see the first link under More Like This to the right of this page:

Automatic Backups for PC (Vista & XP) using Time Capsule
Does anyone know if PCs (Vista & XP) can be configured for automatic backup on Time Capsule?
We have 4 Macs running Leopard and the auto backup is working fine there.
Additionally, we have a couple of PCs running Vista & XP and I would like them to auto backup also.
Thanks for your help!No problem with the Windows part. First map a drive to the TC seems to be more stable then using the Airport utility. Then use the free NT backup utility that comes with XP, you will need to copy the utility and chm and the files ntmsapi.dll and vssapi.dll into a folder on the Vista machine but it will work fine. Also need to enable the Removable Storage management feature in the OS.
Another solution, consider Microsoft OneCare, it has a good backup feature.
Hope this helps -

How many times can you restore from the same backup?
how many times can you restore from the same backup?
As many times as you want till you delete or modify it.
It's YOUR backup, a copy of all your stuff.
Not some copyrighted, access controlled bunch of bytes representing a picture, a song or a movie, with a bunch of lawyers from the entertainment maff1a hellbent on restricting what you can do with it. -

Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the page that opens.
Select the System keychain in the list of keychains in the sidebar of the window. If you don't see the list, click the down-arrow icon below the sidebar.
Then select Passwords in the Category list at lower left. Click the Kind heading in the list of keychain items to arrange it by Kind.
Locate the AirPort Disk Password with the name of your Time Capsule. Double-click the item and check the box marked Show Password in the inspector window that opens. You'll be prompted for the administrator login password. Make a note of the AirPort password, then close the inspector window and delete the item.
Also delete any other AirPort DIsk Password items for that same Time Capsule, which may have had a different name in the past.
Quit Keychain Access and try again to back up. -
I can't restore my iphone 5S backup in my new Iphone 6
I can't restore my iphone 5S backup into my new Iphone6 , through the iTunes .
The system Keeping asking to input the password to unlock the iPhone Backup.
Anyone knows what password the system required ?
I have input the old phone password and apple ID password , but did not work.The password would be whatever you set it to be.
It sounds like you chose to password protect your backup. You would need to remember the password in order to use the backup. -
I want to do a clean install of Mountain Lion. Can I do this without a DVD version of the OS, and can I restore only specific things like iPhoto and iTunes libraries from Time Machine backup.
Mountain Lion is only available as a download, so there is no DVD to purchase. What you can do is download ML and then stop it from installing as soon as it's on your drive. From there you can make your own bootable ML flash drive.
When your purchase and download Mountain Lion, it will end up in the Applications folder and automatically want to install. Press Command+Q to stop the install and exit. The installer will remain on the hard drive.
1) Right click on the installer and choose "Show Package Contents".
2) A folder will open on the desktop. Drill down to Contents > SharedSupport and double click the disk image InstallESD.dmg to mount it on the desktop.
3) From here you can either burn a DVD, or copy the contents to a flash drive. Personally, I would strongly suggest using an 8 GB flash drive formatted as Mac OS Extended. You will be able to boot to it in about 30 seconds instead of at least 10 minutes off of a DVD, and it will install MUCH faster. Make sure the flash drive is empty, or you've copied anything off it it you need as it will need to be erased.
4) Don't just drag and drop the contents you see in the open disk image to the flash drive. It won't boot that way as it will be missing some hidden files. Open Disk Utility. You will something similar to this:
5) To accomplish the above, highlight either the flash drive's single partition (as I did), or the item at the bottom (Mac OS X Install ESD), which is what you will see with the Lion disk image mounted. It doesn't matter which one you pick. You'll then have the option to select the Restore tab towards the upper right. Drag and drop from the left column into the Source and Destination fields as shown above. If you've already erased the flash drive, you can uncheck the box. Click the Restore button.
You've just made your own bootable Mountain Lion USB Flash drive installer. Once you boot to the flash drive, run Disk Utility first to erase the drive you want Mountain Lion on, then continue with the install.
As far as restoring your iPhone and iTunes libraries, I couldn't tell you. So I wouldn't do any of the above until someone else chimes in with a way to do that after a clean install of ML. -
I have music loaded from cd's. They were intact after each sync. After a iTune upgrade, I lost all the music at sync. Can I restore them from old backup in iCloud ?
Unless you'd signed up to iTunes Match then they won't be in the Cloud, only music purchased from iTunes (if you are in a country where music can be re-downloaded) will be there. Have you not still got it on your computer and/or on a backup which you can use to sync it back to the iPad ?

Can I restore from an iTunes backup after setting up as a new phone when a full reboot/restore has been carried out?
As @wjosten says. Note, however, that it is important to NOT sync the phone after resetting it. A Sync will overwrite the backup that you want to restore.

How can I restore from a previous backup? I installed version 8 and is a disaster.
Restoring previous backup will NOT revert to the older version of iOS.
Downgrading iOS is not allowed.

Reinstalled maverick on Mac mini 2010 now can't restore files from previous backups
Reinstalled maverick on Mac mini 2010 now can't restore files from previous backups can't even roll back to previous setup
This is typical Mavericks.
Was the old backup taken from Mavericks install?
Did you already start TM from the new install and thus totally foul up and corrupt your old backup?
You will need to try migrate assistant.. and if that fails you will need to manually pull your files from the old backup if you can still access them.
See Q15 here.
