Can you restore just one app?

Could not sync backup after updating to 4.2. decided to set up as new iPad. Really only two apps that had data I would like to recover. Is there a way to recover data from a single app at a time rather than try the complete restore process that hangs about a third of the way.

Unfortunately, there is no way to save the data for individual apps unless those apps use iOS file sharing and you can transfer the files to your computer or send the files/documents using DropBox.
There simply is no practical way to troubleshoot this without just adding one app at a a time to the iPad until the problem creeps up again. That entails deleteing all of the apps and starting over again.

Can I restore just One Application through time machine? (vs. Migration)

Hi. I've reformatted my Mac
Instead of Migration Assistant
I want to restore just ONE application (Microsoft Office)
1. I've plugged in my Time Machine
2. Time Machine is Not Configured
3. I Browse Other Time Machine Disks
4. I Use Selected Disk
5. I go to my latest Restore pane
6. I click around until I find the Application Folder
7. I click on Microsoft Office, and I press Restore
Am I doing it correctly? Or am I simply just Drag and Dropping into my Application Folder on my newly reformatted Mac?
Thanks in advance.

That's probably not going to work. When you installed Office, it almost certainly installed other files in other places, and perhaps some "helper" apps, in addition to the main app. Unless you know what and where all those things are, and restore them, too, it's not likely to work well, if at all.
See [Transferring Applications|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/TransferApps.html] for details.
Your best bet is to reinstall it from the original disc.

How can I restore just one application from Time Machine?

Hello, I have just one application that is really acting quirky and won't load correctly anymore and I would like to restore that application from Time Machine but am just not sure how to do that. Can someone please walk me through step by step on how to restore just one application. Thank you. Jean

Before you restore an application from a Time Machine backup it would be wiser to remove the current installed copy then reinstall from the application's original distribution medium - download, CD/DVD, etc. The reason for this is that Time Machine backs up every hour. By now the bad version of this application is now backed up to your Time Machine backup drive. Restoring from the backup won't resolve your problem.
First, uninstall the old program. If the program came with an uninstaller then use it. If not then start by deleting the application from the Applications folder. Then locate all the support files associated with the application and remove them, too. Look for these in:
/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences
/Users/yourusername/Library/Applications Support
Applications may come with a separate uninstaller program that could also be in your Applications folder. Some applications may install other files in other locations on your computer. If you tell us what the application is we may be able to provide additional help.

Can You Lock Just One Page but not whole site?

I'm sure this was answered -- but now I cannot find it in the topic list.
I want a particular site to be open to one and all. But I want to lock just one page on that site -- which would require a user name and password. My attempts so far end up locking the entire site.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks,
Richard.
Power Book G4 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

if you search this forum for "password one page" you will find some previous posts.
There is one that mentions creating a second one page site and passwording it with a hyperlink in the first site. Might be the way to go. I don't believe you can currently password just one page.
good luck

HT1766 How restore just one app data?

Can one restore just the backup data for a single app? If not, how is this usually handled, say if there is some crash in the app?

I guess the easiest way to explain it is that whatever data or files were in that app on that day that you created the backup will be restored fully and will look exactly like they did on that day.
Lets say you are using a Word Processor app for example. You make changes to say several files on a certain day. You create a backup that night. The next day you made changes to all those files again. You don't backup this time. Something goes bad the next day, and you need to restore from the backup. When you restore from that backup, those files will be exactly as they were on the day that you last backed up.
The only thing is - every file in every app on the iPad is also restored to the way it looked in that last backup. If you have spreadsheet files that you had worked on and revised on the day that you backed up - made changes the next day - that day that you did not backup - when you restore from the backup - those files revert to the way they were on the day that you backed up. The entire iPad will "look like" it did on the day that you backed up the last time.
This talks about iOS backups

This explains how to create a manual backup.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Most of the time - iTunes will create a backup when you sync. It will overwrite the previous backup when it does. I like to be proactive and create my own backups after I sync, just in case.
Finally - You have to make the choice to restore from the backup and have to initiate it on your own. The link that I provided above explains how to so it, whether you use iTunes or iCloud for your backups.

Can't sync just one app?

Am I the only one who is having problems syncing apps? For some reason (I think it's the new version of iTunes that's causing it), I can't sync one app without all the rest of them going onto my phone. I have like 500+ apps in my library, so you can imagine how long it takes to delete them all. I've already had to restore my phone once because I didn't want to spend hours deleting them. Is there any way to get around this?

There is a Remove / Install button to the right of each app. Select remove for the ones you want to remove and Install for the ones you want. Then click Apply

HT1766 How do I restore just one app and its data to a new device without overwriting what is already on the device?

I have an iphone and a New ipad. When I set up my ipad, I had already had my iphone backed up on iCloud. I didn't however, use the backup to set up the iPad, so some of the apps don't have the same data on both devices. This is mostly fine with me. I was able to sync my games so that I can play the games on both devices and not lose any data or progress in the game. There is only one game that I haven't been able to get onto the ipad with the progress that I have made, even though it's been backed up on the iCloud. Now both devices are being backed up on the iCloud. Some information is shared between them, some not. I have no idea why it's arbitrary which info is shared. But I would like to get the one game (and perhaps a few other apps) to sync between the devices. Is there a way to do this by targeting specific apps and their respective data?

The game that we are playing is called Swordigo ... A Zelda type game just FYI. When I installed the app I went into the Settings>Swordigo>sync saves to iCloud>On. That set it up to sync up to three different saves in iCloud because that is what this game offers.
Then my daughter downloaded the app to her iPad ( the original one that I gave her when I upgraded to the new one). We share an Apple ID for purchases.
When either of us launches the game on our iPads - the option to start from either save is already available in the game. The game supports this. Not all games will support it but you make it sound like your game does sync saves to iCloud.
There is a difference between saving data to iCloud and syncing game saves. The beauty of the syncing of saves is that I could download this game to my iPod touch as well and still pick up my "saved" game from iCloud,

Using Airprint on iPad, can you print just one page out of many?

When I print using my PowerBook, the printer utility comes up and I can print only the pages I want to, not necessarily the whole list of pages. But when using Airprint on the iPad, I get no page selection choice, just PRINT or CANCEL. No instructions in the Users Guide for iOS 6.1 or iOS 7, nor in the Artisan 837 Guide either. Is there a way to print just the page or pages I want, and therefore save on paper and ink? Thanks!

Google show that you have to cut what you want to print and then paste it into a new app and print from that app.

Can you migrate just one file(iPhoto) to a MacBook Pro?

How do you migrate from a MacAir to. New 13 in MacBook Pro the iPhoto file, everything else came thru Icloud

Yes, you can.
The iPhoto Library contains all your iPhoto contents, it's in your Pictures folder on the account on the MacAir.
If you just want one photo out, then you can right click on iPhoto Library and "show package contents" and inside is a fodler called Originals, open that and locate your picture and copy it over.
You also can export via the iPhoto program on the Air.
Use a external drive or USB thumb drive depending how much you have.
If your Air is worthless as a machine and you need to access the storage drive...
My computer is not working, is my personal data lost?
As a note, just because your iTunes may have come through iCloud doesn't mean it's safe, supposedly someone here deleted their old machine data and thus all the newer machines iTunes music disappeared....
I don't trust or use the Cloud for anything after reading horror stories like that and others...

Compilations: Can you show just one album cover with mixes/compiations?

Using the current iTunes (11.01) is a misery. I have numerous mix discs and compilations, and for each title eg Royksopp's BACK TO MINE mix, there are about 15 tiles of the album, one for each song. In extreme cases, there may be over 100. Since I have God knows how many songs, easily in the tens of thousands, this is an extremely inefficient way to display my collection.
Is there any way to display albums with just the one album cover and title showing each time? THis is ridiculous.
Thanks in advance.

Wow!
Is that really so?
I'm not questioning your answer. Just want to make sure before I say OK and let it be. I had heard that iTunes/iPod forces you to do things their way, this is an example, I guess!
Thanks for the input.
I guess I'll just have to leave it be!
Is iTunes the only way to deal with iPod? Are there any other programs?

Can you restore groups of apps on your iPhone from your back up

I have had to restore my iphone 4 to factor defaults and then restored from a previous date but can not find a way to reinstall all my app and in the groups that I had saved them into previously.

I knew that but there must be a way of reinstall in the apps as groups or into the groupings. It only makes sense

HT2736 Can you buy just one song or only whole album?

When I go to gift a song it brings up the whole album?

Pool Repair Tech,
When you gift from an iPad, it only allows gifting of a whole album, not an individual track.
But if you log in to your iTunes account on a computer (PC or Mac) you can gift a single song by clicking the little triangle and choosing "Gift This Song" from the menu as shown.

Can you buy just one license for remote desktop

I use the VNC Client 'Chicken of the VNC' which you can get from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/cotvnc/
Tiger already comes with a VNC Server installed - simply go to the control panel, click on 'Sharing' and turn on ARD as an option there. Then click on the button 'Access Privileges' and tick the option 'VNC viewers can take control of the screen with password...' (and put in a password too...).
VNC allows you to have pretty much complete control of the computer remotely - you see a window with the desktop visible on the computer running COTVNC (or whatever). However VNC does not support file transfer too / from or allow you to do things like install software remotely (and whatever else ARD would allow). But you can simulate most of these other ways if required.
Hope this helps.

HT1420 how do you deauthorize just one computer?

Can you deauthorize just one computer you no longer have? And if not when you deauthorize ALL, do you just reload???

when you deauthorize ALL, do you just reload???
No you do not reload. When you deauthorize, your music stays exactly where it is.
You can reauthorize at any time, provided the computer is in working condition and you are able to physically access it (and you still know your ID and password).
