Can I transfer all my files, pictures and music from the computer with water damage to the new one?

A couple weeks ago water spilled on my computer and I took it in with no luck so I'm buying a new one. I wanted to know if there was any way to get all my stuff from the damaged computer to the new one. It breaks my heart to think of all my pictures being lost or my schoolwork gone.

is much cheaper than most reliable HD enclousres and will allow you to attach the bare drive to recover the data to the new Mac via USB.

  • Can I transfer my text messages, pictures, and contacts from a non-smartphone to a new iPhone?

    I don't have a smartphone but I'm buying an iPhone 5

    I don't believe you can. You will probably need to purchase a new AppleCare plan for the new iPhone. But you can call Apple support, ask to speak with someone in AppleCare plan administration, and ask.
    Regards.

  • How can I transfer all my files from Mavericks Thunderbird to Mavericks Mail

    How can I transfer all my files from Mavericks Thunderbird to Mavericks Mail?
    Bonjour,
    C'est ma première intervention aussi je ne sais pas si je peux m'exprimer en français.
    Je tente!
    Lors du passage à Maveicks, j'ai basculé sur Thunderbird car je ne souhaitais pas utiliser POP mais Mail ne le permettait pas (du moins je n'ai pas réussi)
    Aujourd'hui, je souhaite revenir sur Mail et, pour celà, je dois rapatrier toutes mes données de messagerie depuis Thunderbird.
    J'utilise Imap et, pour gérer ma messagerie, j'ai créé des boîtes aux lettres dans Local Folsders
    Le passage par Eudora ne fonctionne pas avec Mavericks.
    L'import de boîtes aux lettres depuis Local Folders de Thunderbird (via le menu Fichier) ne permet de transférer qu'un seul courier par boîte aux lettres de Local Folders. Et c'est ce qui m'empêche de passer à Mail.
    Merci d'avance pour votre aide.

  • What's the easiest way to transfer all my pictures and music from my old PC to my new Mac?

    I just recently got a Mac and wanted to know the easiest way to transfer my pictures and music from my PC to my Mac.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    The best and easiest way is by using Windows Migration Assistant. Apart from that, this app allows you to transfer other things, that you can check in this page > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4796 You have also the steps to transfer your data to your Mac in that page.
    If you don't want to use it, just copy your music and pictures to an external drive and transfer them to the Mac

  • Can I store and see my pictures and music from my iPhone or iPad?

    Can I store and see my pictures and music from my iPhone or iPad?

    The answer to this is NO.. with modifiers.
    You can store your music and photos on the Time Capsule.. which I do presume is what you mean.
    However the TC is not a media server.. it is a dumb as a board file device. And ipad and iphone are not files devices.. Apple has tried hard to remove that layer from you.. albeit you can buy a file browser app.
    So iTunes must be running on the network in order for you to access your music or pictures..
    Using the TC merely as hard disk storage area is not wise.. it was not designed to do it.. and for iphoto at least Apple says don't do it.
    The way to share itunes and photos in the network is using home sharing.
    How to share music and video with iTunes - Apple Support
    There are heaps of articles on sharing on the apple website.. just google home share itunes.
    Now you could put your itunes library on the TC but you would gain nothing.. a computer still must be turned on.. and it will be slow and not able to be included in the backups.
    NOTE.. Apple says you will eventually corrupt iphoto if you put it on a network drive.. it must be local.

    i just did update of software and i lost all of my picture and songs from itune which is un usual .could any one tell me how could i get iphoto working again?

    What did you update with what?  Are we talking a computer?  A device like an iPhone?  You updated iTunes?  You updated the operating system?
    If you updated the iOS on a device, I believe it warns you it will erase the device and you should make a backup first.  Restore from the backup.
    iPhoto is an application pretty much separate from iTunes.  There is an iPhoto forum if you are having problems with that application.

  • Can I upgrade to OS X Lion, and then reformat my computer with the OS X CD?

    Can I upgrade to OS X Lion, and then reformat my computer with the OS X CD? Because if I reformating my mac with the regualr OS X CD, would that erase the Lion? Since I just donwloading the Lion, and don't really have a CD for it.

    If you install Lion then erase the drive that will erase Lion. To purchase and download Lion you must first install Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later to access the App Store where you purchase and download the Lion installer. You might read this before:
    Make Your Own Lion Installer
    1. After downloading Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Lion application. After Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing Lion.
    2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    3. Locate the saved Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
    4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility.
    Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Drag the InstallESD.dmg disc image file into the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable Lion installer that  you can use without having to re-download Lion.
