Can't access my data after restoring

I had the Seagate Hard Drive on my iMac replaced. The Apple Store restored the original Snow Leopard system. I used Migration Assistant to restore files. It prompted me to create new user name. It restored Applications under one user name and Desktop, Documents, Photos, etc under different one, and now won't give me access to my data. What can I do? Thanks in advance!

When you boot from a Snow Leopard DVD, you answer a few questions like langauge...and finally get to the installation screen. On the top menu line are some utilities. You select disk utility and erase the volume you are going to install to. When it is complete, you can quit disk utility and continue on with the installation. You will reach a point where it asks if you want to transfer your data from a disk or other mac.. This is where you select disk and then select your external drive.
All your data will come over. When it is done, reboot and run software update. There will probably be a gigabyte of stuff waiting for you (like 10.6.8).
I assume all your stuff is on an external disk.

TS3899 Can't access my email after restore and iOS upgrade

I restored my iPad -which wiped out my email accounts - and upgraded t latestt iOS
I re-entered my email account properties but now I can't receive or send email any longer. Error states it can't access the pop server.
I've checked account settings are same as iPhone and pc which are accessing email just fine
Help to troubleshoot / fix appreciated
Thx
Rob

The easiest thing to do is to restore from backup if you have one. The backup will continue the email settings. Do you have a recent backup?

I have lost all my notes data after restore. Anyone know how to retrieve notes after restore?

I have lost all my notes data after restore. Anyone know how to retrieve notes after restore?
I havent' took any backup of my notes in icloud. The moment I enter the password after restore my notes will be empty. The only option to get notes back is that after restore skip entering icloud password. But any time I enter icloud password anywhere again my notes will be empty. I have huge data saved in my notes. Apple need to look into this issues very seriously. This is the 5th time I restoring my iphone today just to get my note back.

I have the issue with losing all my notes and I don't even know why. I can't remember changing any email account info. What happened to them?
Ipad 3rd io7
Please Help!
Thank you,

HT1414 I can not sync my iPhone after restoring it - my computer only gives me the restore (again and again and again) option. I have no music and only a few aps now on my iPhone. Any tips before I go to the genius bar?

If you restored as new, without using a backup, and still only get an option to restore, there is a hardware problem or the phone was previously hacked (jailbroken, downgraded iOS, unauthorized unlock). Your only option is to take it to Apple or whoever provides iPhone service in your country.

Can i access my data on time capsule from some other network

can i access my data on time capsule from some other network that is my data at home from office over internet

There is plenty of info out there if you google..
Here is a summary I just put into another thread.
Remote access has been added back into iCloud that was in MobileMe..
Read the info on setting it up from cloud service.. BTMM.
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/back-to-my-mac/
If you want to do it without the cloud service, you have one major issue.. the public IP for WAN..
The internal IP of the TC.. which will default to 10.0.1.1 btw.. is irrelevant. It is the IP of the WAN which you use to access the TC over the internet. And here you have a problem.. the TC does not include dyndns service. So unless you have a static IP address from your ISP, this will cause you grief.
(If it is offered by your ISP.. get a static IP.. that eliminates all the issues.. and is far superior. Even dyndns service has issues if your public IP rotates too often. It is generally an extra cost item and requires a business account but some ISP offer it cheap or even free.. I joined an ISP that offered static ip for free because it gives me the ability to remote access my network without all the hassles you will see below.)
There are ways around it.. setting up your own domain for instance.
http://dyn.com/support/airport-time-capsule-with-dynamic-dns/
But it is easier to simply use a different router.. almost all of them have dyndns service available.. place the TC behind the router in bridge and forward port 548 TCP to it.
This is a bit old but still relevant.
http://gigaom.com/apple/access-your-time-capsule-over-the-internet/
Note .. there is no ftp, http, ssh (there is actually but it isn't accessible), or any other service to allow connection other than AFP.. so you must use a Mac in remote location to access the TC.
The setup for the two methods is slightly different in the TC.. in the first instance, you need to turn on WAN access via disk sharing page in the manual setup.
In the second case you do not need this.
Remember security and put strong passwords on the disk. There are still security questions about this.
If security is important.. there is a third and better (IMO) method and that is vpn.. you will need to buy a vpn router as TC also missed out on that.. establish a vpn with the main router and that will allow you access to your network.. you will also then be able to use SMB remotely not just AFP.
Also if this office is a large company they should be running a firewall, which would block your access to home. You should check your IT admin people for what is allowed.. generally the only acceptable method is vpn otherwise you can drag viruses and trojans right into the network without the firewall catching them.

Can I access the data backed up on my time capsule remotely via the Internet?

Can I access the data backed up on my time capsule remotely via the Internet? Let us say I have all my music or photos on my time capsule at home and I want to access it while I am outside over the Internet can I do this?

See remote access methods here.
https://discussions.apple.com/community/wireless/airport?view=documents
I am not sure what format these files are in.. but if they are itunes or iphoto.. have a care.. it is easy to corrupt them.

You need to follow the BTMM via icloud instructions.
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/back-to-my-mac/
There are plenty of other ways to do it.. but issues to do with Apple not using a dynamic DNS client so if your ISP does not allocate you a static public IP there is no way to find it, if the public ip rotates as they are designed to do hourly or daily.
Do a google search, remote access time capsule..
Or use the more like this on the right hand side... there are plenty of posts and even youtube video which go right through it.
BTW your school system may simply block the port.. if I was a school IT admin.. I would. You are dragging files across to the internal school network bypassing the firewall.. that is unacceptable risk to the whole school system.

Can't access personal data on OEM partition

My laptop comes with a SSD and a normal HDD. One fine day I switch on my computer and it says 'Insert bootable device' I thought that my SSD had crashed and since it assumed it had the OS I wasn't able to boot into Windows. So I removed the normal HDD put it into an enclosure to retreive my personal data. The HDD (750 GB) has three partitions, one is a Lenovo partition (29.30 GB) with applications and drivers and there are two OEM partitions (14.75 GB and 655 GB). I presume all my data is in the 655 GB OEM partition and I can't seem to access it. How can I access the data on OEM partition and recover my personal files ? Any advice/suggestion would be welcome.

Hi
I think that the os might be on the hdd(655gb) partition and as it has been marked as a oem partition, bios is not able to access the boot files on the c drive. Since data comes first, use ptedit32.exe to change the partition type of 655gb partition to 07 from 12 and then assign it c you might have to reboot and then you could copy the data from the hdd and keeping the partition unhidden, try to boot from it in laptop.

You have Acrobat Pro on your system. It will try to open PDFs, and of course it will fail. You must uninstall it. Then, you will need a PDF reader. So install Adobe Reader. That seems quite simple, but perhaps something is wrong. If anything goes wrong with these two steps (1) uninstall Acrobat Pro (2) install Adobe Reader, then please let us know the details.
