Can I restore iPad from time machine backup without my MacAir

All my gear has been stolen including my MacAir and iPad(4thGen). Fortunately I just found my iPad under my car seat.
Now I would like to restore my iPad. The thing is I do iTune-backup through my MacAir then I backup my MacAir with TimeMachine on to external HDD at home.
How could I retore iPad without my MacAir.

You will need a program like:

  • Restore iPad from time machine backup

    Hi All,
    Unfortunately I recently had my macbook and ipad stolen after a burglary at my house. Thankfully I carry out routine back ups using my time capsule.
    However I replaced my Macbook Pro for a Macboo Pro Retina and the hard drive is not large enough to completely restore the computer entirely from time machine.
    I am looking at restoring my itunes to the new macbook together with the iPad and iPhone back ups so that if I plug the new devices in they will sync and (hopefully) everything will be seamless.
    I managed to get the itunes onto the new macbook however the back up for the ipad and iphone do not seem to be listed under 'devices' in the itunes preferences.
    Does anybody have any idea how I can get these back ups so I can sync my ipad? I had photos and videos on the device which I would like to put on the new device.
    Many thanks for any help you guys can give me.

    As a follow up, Axeman I would like to thank you. Your advice helped solve the issue.
    I ended up having to go into Terminal to make hidden files/folders visible. When I then entered the Time Machine backup I was able to see the library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    From here I copied all the back ups visible, then pasted straight into the coresponding local folder on my Macbook.
    Enter iTunes and look under preferences and devices and all my back ups were immediately listed.
    A quick restore from back up and everything is back and running as though there was never a problem.
    Hope others find this useful as well as I am sure there are people out there who face a similar problem.

  • Can't restore files from Time machine backup?

    I kinda successfully restored my files from Time Machine after a clean re-install of Snow Leopard (Time Machine thought they were new files, though, so backed up the 26 GB... waste of space), but now I'm trying to restore the files of the other user on the computer. In her pictures folder, I can't copy the iPhoto Library because I don't have permission to access it! The same problem occurred on my account too, but I was able to go to my Time Machine drive and manually change the permissions for the files I wanted, which doesn't work on her account.
    I have made a Youtube video of the error:

    Can anyone assist me in restoring the files? That's all I need help in. Thanks

    But if I transfer everything with the Setup Assistant, won't I once again be experiencing the problems I had?
    If the problems were caused by your data. But that's extremely unlikely. It may have been an app, or, much more likely from your description, something corrupted in the Leopard OS. That's one of the problems with upgrading a sick system without knowing what or where the causes are. It's a bit like a brain surgeon operating on himself: if he isn't in tip-top shape to start with, his condition is likely to change, and not for the better.
    Most of us would have recommended first simply doing a +*Repair Disk+* on your internal HD; if that didn't help, installing the "combo" Leopard update; if that didn't work, doing an +Archive and Install+ and re-installing the "combo."
    After a clean re-install of Snow Leopard, my Mac worked fine again (except for the TM trouble). So it probably had something to do with my old files.
    Probably not. Much more likely OSX was somehow damaged. And you got a whole new one.
    How come I could read the files on my external HD and yet not be able to copy the files?
    Time Machine uses special "deny everybody everything" permissions on it's backups, among other things, in an attempt to keep us mere mortals from moving, changing, or deleting things and corrupting them.

  • Can I restore Espionage from Time Machine backup?

    I called AppleCare for assistance with Espionage and was told that my version was out of date. The AppleCare support rep said I should uninstall Espionage and install the new version. Unfortunately, I did.
    Now it turns out that if you do that, all of your encrypted files are permanently lost. I asked AppleCare for assistance in undoing the damage they caused but was just told they don't provide support for 3rd party products.
    Anybody out there know how to restore Espionage and its data files from a Time Machine backup?

  • Entourage 2008 calendar deleted. How can i restore it from time machine backup?

    I have my Entourage 2008 calendar sync with ical. I accidentally deleted Entourage on the left column of ical, and it deleted the calendar on on Entourage. I want to restore the calendar. I have used time machine to backup my hard drive. I just don't know how or what to do.

    Quit iCal.
    In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, copy the text on the line below into the box that opens, and press return:
    ~/Library/Calendars
    Enter Time Machine and restore the selected folder from the last snapshot that was taken before the deletion. Relaunch iCal and test.

  • HT201250 (1) Where is the "Time Machine menu" and the choice to "Enter Time Machine" (mentioned in the "Restoring data from Time Machine backups" section)?

    1) Where do I find the "Time Machine menu" and the choice to "Enter Time Machine" (as mentioned in the "Restoring data from Time Machine backups" section in the Mac Support article "Mac Basics: Time Machine")?
    2) How would I restore e.g. a particular photo from a backup I made with Time Machine? I can see how this is done with Word documents, but can't see how to do it with photos?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    1. The Time Machine icon is on the menu bar.
    2. If you want to do that with individual photos, it's the same way as for documents. If you want to do it with iPhoto, you have to restore the whole iPhoto library, not only one photo

  • Error 150:30 after restoring CS4 from Time Machine backup

    Do I need to uninstall CS4 and reinstall?
    Unfortunately yes.
    Also run the Cleaner Tool prior to reinstalling
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    Restoring from Time Machine backups invariably breaks the activation mechanism (Error 150:30) and there's no easy way to fix a 150:30 error other than via re-installing.

  • HT201250 Circle and cross through iTunes icon afte the seagate hard drive replaced and restored data from time machine backup.

    Circle and cross through iTunes icon: had the seagate hard drive replaced and restored data from time machine backup. Why does the iTunes icon have a circle and cross through it? As though incomplete? tried everything and still Circle and cross through iTunes icon.

    No it isn't something you'd find on the computer, it has to be custom installed from the 10.6 installer disc or Software Update if it wasn't before.  It allows you to use older PowerPC applications on your Mac.   On the other hand double check the version of iTunes you have does not require 10.7 minimum either.

  • HT4901 Can I restore my calendars and reminders from iCal?  If not, can I restore them from Time Machine?

    Apparently I allowed iCloud to delete all of my calendar and reminder information from my Mac.
    Can I restore it from iCloud, if not can I restore it from Time Machine?

    It sounds as though it's not in iCloud anymore.
    You may find that restoring from Time Machine results in the information simply disappearing again. You might try this: disable iCloud syncing, restore from Time Machine, re-enable syncing and choose the merge option when presented.

  • HT201250 How can I exclude mail from Time Machine backups?

    How can I exclude mail from Time Machine backups?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Mails are stored on ~/Library/Mail, being ~ your user folder. As you are running Snow Leopard, it's easy to exclude your mails from your Time Machine backup.
    Open System Preferences > Time Machine > Options, and add ~/Library/Mail to excluded items, so the next backup won't include mails. Note that you have to go to your user folder, in order to access to this directory

  • I have replaced my old hard drive with a new SSD drive. Can I restore a complete Time Machine backup

    I have replaced my old hard drive on a MacBook Pro midyear 2010 with a new SSD drive. I have a complete system backup of my old drive in an external hard drive using Time Machine.
    Questions that I would like to get answered.
    1) Can I connect my external hard drive to the macbook pro and use that to boot up my machine by pressing and holding down the Options key? Once booted up successfully, can I use Disk Utility to format the new SSD and then restore the complete time machine backup?
    2) If that is not possible, can I use my old drive which I can connect using a USB adapter and use that to boot up by following the same strategy as listed in Step#1 above?
    3) If neither options are possible, do I need to use a bootable USB drive for Mavericks OS X to boot up the machine,
    I have Mavericks OS X ( 10.9.6) and I do not have a DVD of the OS.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Let me first document the steps that did not work and then I will document the steps that worked.
    1) Replaced the hard drive with SSD.
    2) Connected the original hard drive using a USB adapter to the MacBook to make it behave like an external device.
    3) Powered on the machine and on hearing the chime pressed Command-R to start in recovery mode.
    4) Chose the Disk Utility option to erase and format the SSD. The format chosen was Mac OS Extended Journaled.
    5) Once the formatting was done, then clicked on the "Restore" tab in Disk Utility
    6) In the Source field, dragged my original hard drive from the left pane and placed it in the field
    7) On the destination field, choose the new SSD drive. Clicked on "Restore". Gave me a warning, accepted the warning and the restore was under way.
    8) I had 236 GB to restore so took 3.5 hours before it was done.
    9) Disconnected the external hard drive ( my original internal HDD), shut down the machine and powered on again.
    10) Heard the chime and after that it was a white screen with no Apple logo.
    Was visibly upset and started thinking what my next move will be. Then tried these steps
    1) Again powered off the machine.
    2) Connected my internal HDD once more as an external drive
    3) Powered on and on hearing the chime, pressed Command-R as before
    4) Once the OS X utilities screen popped up, this time chose Install OS X
    5) Erased the contents of SSD once more and reformatted it using Mac OS Extended Journaled.
    6) Installed OS X by following the prompts.
    7) Once the OS was installed, I was presented with an option on how to transfer data to this new Mac
    8) Chose the option to move the data from my original HDD.
    9) Took another 3 hours to move the data.
    10) Removed the original HDD once the transfer was complete, powered down the machine and started it once more.
    11) Booted successfully and all my content is now accessible on the new SSD.
    Moral of the story - It is the spirit that counts.

  • Restored iMac from Time Machine Backup - OS Updates out of whack

    Hi all.
    I just had to get a new hard drive, as part of the Apple Seagate Replacement program.
    I have installed Snow Leopard on my new drive, rebooted and restored from my Time Machine backup.
    Once I rebooted from that, my "About This Mac" stated I was using OS version 10.6.2 and I had to re-install updates to bring me back up to 10.6.8.
    How can this be, as I thought a full restore from Time Machine would also restore all updates?  Seems weird to me.
    Thanks,
    B.

    It shouldn't screw up your files. If you are experiencing problems, maybe you should erase the disk and restore your Time Machine backup again, but now restoring the whole backup instead of restoring it after installing Mac OS X. Note that Migration Assistant sometimes doesn't work properly and it can create problems on Mac OS X.

    2) Is there a way of restoring from my Time Machine backup without actually using my original install disks first?
    If so, how would I do this, as the pane which says "Do you already Own A Mac" only comes up after installing the software from the DVD.
    As you have problems after restoring the backup, I recommend you to start from the Mac OS X DVD that came with your Mac and restore the backup:
    1. Insert the Mac OS X DVD that came with your computer, and press C key while your Mac is starting.
    2. Go to Utilities menu > Disk Utility, select Macintosh HD in the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase the disk.
    3. Close Disk Utility, go to Utilities menu, select the option to restore the Time Machine backup and follow the steps.
    This will save you time searching a solution and it's safer than using Migration Assistant. After restoring the backup by this way, your computer will be as it was before replacing the hard drive

  • Restored system from Time Machine backup disk but the system could not start-up

    On MacBook Pro early 2008, restored the entire system from Time Machine backup disk to the entire disk.
    The previous system on the backup disk had FileVault turned on.
    The restore completed successfully and I was prompted to restart the system via the new restored system disk.
    I heard the normal start-up sound, then the Apple logo, but it stuck at the logo screen. And the cooling fan run at almost full speed?
    I have been waiting for a few hours, guessing it might FileVault the disk.
    Finally I have to shutdown the machine as it stuck at the logo screen forever.
    Anyone has the same issue? Any ideas?

    BTW, I also tried Repair the system disk, Fix permissions via Disk Utility.
    I guess I must lose some files either during the backup or the restore.
