Can I transfer a local backup to icloud?

I made a local backup of my iPhone on my computer. After I upgraded to iOS 6, the storage of my iPhone was too small to recover everything. Now I have a backup and an empty iPhone. Can anyone help me?
Thank you
Tom

If you have a 16 GB iPhone 4 with only iOS 6 on it you should still have over 10 GB free, which is more than enough to restore your backup. If you are saying you don't have enough room to restore you backup your phone can't have an "empty iPhone" as you said above. Go to Settings>General>Usage and look at the top to see how much free space you have. What does it say?
Even if you were out of space, all you have to do is connect your phone to iTunes and delete some things to make room. For example, to delete your music uncheck Sync Music on the Music tab of your sync settings and sync your phone.

How can I restore a previous backup in iCloud storage for my iPad?

Restoring an iCloud backup requires you to first erase your iPad. If you have any newer data that you want to save you'll need to do that first. Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens on the iPad and when given the option, choose Restore from iPad backup.

How can I transfer/merge the backup-data of one iphone onto another iphone?

I have two iphones and want to merge the backup-data from one to the other without destroying any data on the new one. How can I do it and will this data be replaced automatically or merged?
Thanks for your help!
Toni

As long as you use the same account, you can sync the same apps, contacts, music and other media content. Set up at least one contact and event on your new phone, to be able to merge your contacts and calendars. You can't transfer settings of your 3rd party apps, because this data is stored in your backup, and restoring from your backup will erase your new phone's data.

You can also transfer your mail account settings using the option in the info pane in itunes, as well as the option to replace contacts, calendars, bookmarks and notes during the following sync.

Can I delete the local calendar in icloud

When I go to Calendars I have to open up the "Local calendar in iCloud" before I can open up the "Calendar in iCloud" What can I do to avoid having to do this and what will happen if I delete the "Local Calendar in iCloud?"

You don't have any music stored in your personal iCloud account. If you see cloud symbols next to songs in your song list those are only links to your previously purchased music in the iTunes store so you can download them.

Can I delete the previous backups from iCloud on my iPhone 5?

I just got My iPhone 5 as well as a iPad 4. But I purchased the wrong iPad - before I returned the first one it backed itself up with iCloud and as we'll as the info from my iPhone 4S. It shows that I'm out of storage space but when I go to manage my storage I have info from I phone 4s and my first iPad 4 purchase. I exchanged my first iPad 4 a few days after because I wanted wifi as well as the other 3 or 4 g service.
i Think I'm just taking up space but what's actually stored is just the same crap over and over.

Go to settings-icloud-storage and back up and you can see each back up on your icloud, and delete the ones you don't want.

How can I transfer a local mailbox to another user account on the same computer?

I have two user accounts on the same computer. I actually never really wanted two accounts, but a second one was generated when I chose to use the Migration Assistant to transfer my account from a previous computer to my current one, and I never did anything to delete the second one. Anyway, I have been using Mac Mail to view my work email messages from a Microsoft Exchange server. Awhile back, I was running out of space on my mail server, and decided to download a bunch of my email messages to local mailboxes in order to free up space.
Recently (for reasons that are not terribly relevant) I have decided to switch between the two user accounts on the computer. I have transfered all of my documents, apps, etc. to the new account. However, I haven't been able to find a way to transfer all the email that is in those local mailboxes, so that they are viewable/usable in the new account. Could somebody suggest the best way for me to do this? I am no longer going to use the old account, so the two do not have to be synced. I just want the mailboxes to be available for the new user account (with the same organizational structure).
I am currently running Mavericks (just upgraded last week).
Thanks,
JEG

A quick update....
I copied the folder in ~Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes that contains all of my local mailboxes over to the same location in the new account. When I go into mail, the entire file structure is there, however it does not let me view (or search) any of the messages. The messages can be accessed through the Finder, though.
I tried to "Rebuild" the local mailboxes, but it didn't seem to do anything. Any advice would be appreciated.

Can I transfer Time Machine Backup from WD Hard Drive to Time Capsule?

I have a Western Digital 500 Gb. Hard drive and recently purchased a 500 Gb.Time Capsule which, at the moment, am using only for the AirPort feature. I would like to use Time Capsule for my Time Machine backups and use the Western Digital drive as my Aperture Vault. Is there a way to move the Time Machine file from the WD drive to the Time Capsule drive so that I don't lose the old files? My Time Capsule is connected to my iMac via an Ethernet cable.

Unfortunately, no. Time Machine will backup to a local drive (e.g. via USB or FW HDD) using a folder structure. When backing up to a NAS (e.g. Time Capsule or USB HDD connected to a TC or Extreme), TM utilizes a sparsebundle. You cannot easily convert a folder structure to a sparsebundle. The best plan is to start a NEW backup to TC. Connecting via ethernet is highly recommended for the initial backup.
P.S. You can still access the old TM backups until such time that you want to reclaim the use of the HDD.

How can i keep a local backup copy of all our employees company email files in a single location. I believe this is called Journaling?

We are legally required to store all communications between any employees' and their clients for a period of 7 years. When we used Outlook 2010 this was not a problem with the PST file format. However our recent change to Exchange
server now leaves me with OST files which can only be opened by the original account. Normally, this wold not present a problem but i can foresee possibilities where it might.
Seven years is a long time and the original account in question could long since have been removed. With PST files, it ewas a simple matter to open them using the mail-admin account long enough to export any documents that were required
but from what I have read this may not be possible with OST files.
Additionally, Exchange server OST files can reach sizes up to 50 GB and the conversion from OST to PST seems to add about 10% or more of size. This could end up with a converted PST that would be over the size limit of any version of Outlook.
What is the correct procedure to take in order to achieve this ability to keep backups in some format that they could be searched for specific criteria and exported for printing in order to meet these legal requirements.

You are correct in that Journaling is probably the feature you want to use here. Trying to PST and OST file gives you no guarantee that the messages are all there or have not been modified by the recipient.
If you are using Exchange on-premises, you can configure journaling to a journal mailbox or a third-party appliance or cloud service. If you are using Exchange Online, you cannot journal to a cloud mailbox and your options there are to configure journaling
to an on-premises mailbox or third-party service.
An alternative would be to keep all messages in the mailboxes themselves using something like Litigation Hold. Even if a user deletes or modifies an item, it would be stored in the hidden "Recoverable Items" folder and would be accessible
via the native eDiscovery tools.

How can i transfer a document folder to iCloud?

i read several posts that said to create a my icould doc in mobile docs under library and then drag this folder to favorites. but i can t drag it over there

If you CREATE an iWork document on the iPad or iPhone (with the documents sync enabled on that device) it will immedatly appear on iCloud and all other iPads and iPhones sharing that iCloud account. To get the document into your MacBook, you have to log into iCloud, click on the document, and select "download". You can then open it on the MacBook and edit it.
If you want to put it back to iCloud, you have to save it, then physically drag and drop the file to the iCloud window in Safari. This will upload it, but nothing can be done with it at iCloud.com yet. It is now simply avaialble to be opened on your iPhone or iPad. Once you open it on one of those devices, and then close/save it, it will be available on iCloud.com for viewing or editing.
