Copy network from backup disk to internal drive 10.5.8

I have a Powertbook G4 1.25 aluminum firewire laptop I've used for years. Somehow,(I'm using Leopard 10.5.8 ,) my network files have gotten corrupted.
I can not connect to the internet at all any more. I know that my hardware is fine, as I can boot into a Tiger partition and connect just fine.
1) I really don't want to re-install my OS and start all over with drag and drop
2) I have an older backup that works fine, burt have hundreds of new files and programs since then.
3) What files specifically do I need to copy fropm the working backup to my current internal drive to get my internet up and working again?
4) Or other suggestions??
Thanks !

How Do I Solve this Problem when Copying Library from Backup Disks?

I recently had a pc problem that resulted in the repair company having to back up my hard drive (which included my I Tunes Library) onto DVDs.
When trying to upload the ITunes library from the DVD to my new computer (after downloading I Tunes software), about half of my library uploaded fine.
The other half is indicated in my new I Tunes library, but when I click on it it says that such songs "could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
When I attempt to locate it, I cannot find it on the disk. But it must be there, I am guessing, because it loaded, albeit in the inaccessible form, into the new I Tunes library?
When I open the disk in my D drive, I cannot find the songs that will not open; it appears that the people who backed it up, only made it through the "Ds". But again, that is inconsistent with the fact that the inaccessible songs' titles were uploaded to the new I Tunes library.
I am totally stumped. Is there any way to fix this? I am faced with losing half my library.

CAn anyone tell me how to get out of this iphone recovery? thanks!!

Move iTunes library from external disk to internal disk

Hello,
I am currently using a Mac Mini with an external disk to store my iTunes library as well as all the media files, apps, etc. The library is managed (consolidated) by iTunes and is also organized by iTunes.
I am about to buy the new Macbook Pro and with a 1 TB drive, I wanted to move the iTunes stuff (library, media, playlists, play counts, ratings, everything) to the internal drive of the new MBP.
My questions are:
Can I do this migration (from external disk to internal disk of new Mac) as part of the Migration Assistant?
In case I can't do the above, what is the best way to do this after the new Mac has been set up?
How do I ensure that play counts, playlists, ratings, album art are preserved as I have spent considerable time setting those up?
I have 3-4 IOS devices syncing to this library. How do I ensure that when I sync them to the new computer/library, they will continue to work?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
1. See if this support answers your query http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4889 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
3. Make sure complete intune folder is copied over. The Itunes Library.itl file contains all meta data.
4. Maybe someone else can make a definitive comment on this. I used migration assistant and was able to sync my ipad and ipod classic without doing anything special. I presume that it worked because both were syncing to the same library albeit on a different computer.

How do I copy back from backup?

I attempted to restore an application from my backup HD back to my main HD with carbon copy cloner. I am able to select my backup HD in the source window, but my main HD does not appear among the target choices.
Is there special way of doing this?
Thanks

I believe you need to boot from your back-up and then you will be able to copy the file over to your internal drive.
More prosaically, why not just locate the application and copy it over without invoking the CCC application?

How to migrate Mail & Contacts from backup disk of old PPC iMac (10.3.9) to new iMac (10.8.1)?
The Firewire disk is connected and have been able to copy across document folders etc, but Migration Assistant doesn't find the disk so that method no good. Any help appreciated.

Thanks, that looks very comprehensive. Wish I'd seen it before completing Set-Up Assistant initially! Will follow his instructions and report back.

If you mean you want to save them to your iPad, open the photo stream album, tap Select, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll). If you mean on your computer, save them to your camera roll, then import them as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

Can i delete the backup on my internal drive as i have it backed up on a external drive...if so how??

can i delete the backup on my internal drive as i have it backed up on a external drive...if so how??

When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.

How to copy a networked TimeMachine backup to a USB drive and restore from it?

Hi,
I backup my MacBook Air with TimeMachine to my QNAP NAS which offers a TimeMachine backup service and I can restore data from it OK.
Working in IT, and being a bit paranoid about important data loss, I am concerned that if I was robbed or my house burnt down I would most likely lose both the MacBook and the TimeMachine Backup on my NAS :-(
To protect against this I have backup my (linux based) NAS to an external drive that I keep offsite. This drive is encrypted to keep my data secure with a Linux form of encryption (cryptsetup) and hence can't be plugged into a MacBook to try and restore from it - I doubt this would work either as the TimeMachine data is not located in the root of the drive.
So what I have done to test my restore process is to mount the encrypted NAS backup that include the TimeMachine backup folders on a Linux machine and then copy the TimeMachine data to the root of an HFS+ formatted external USB drive.
But, now I am stuck as how to try and restore something from this to my MacBook to see if the copy of the TimeMachine backup is good. If I press the Alt key on the TimeMachine icon, I can select an alternate backup device and when I enter TimeMachine to browse the data, I can browse the structure but there is no option to go back in time !! It seems like it is not possible to restore from this copy of the TimeMachine backup.
Does anyone know if this should be possible, and if so, what am I doing wrong here?

For anyone else that may be in a similar situation, I can confirm that this does actually work.
I am unsure why I was not able to mount the original sparseimage that I copied to the USB drive before, but I have gone through the entire process again and I could successfully mount the TM sparseimage onto my MacBook and restore files from within it using TimeMachine to my Mac.
This is a Disaster Recovery solution only needed for if both my NAS and Macbook get stolen or damaged so I am happy with this solution for now.
I will try the restore process several more times from my monthly backups to reassure myself that the first failure to mount the sparse image was an anomaly.
This is the process that I have tested:
Configure MacBook to backup to TimeMachine Service running on QNAP NAS device.
Perform regular backup of QNAP NAS Device (Linux) including the TimeMachine backup data to an external USB drive with encryption enabled and store this device safely off-site
In time of loss of both NAS and MacBook, Time Machine data can be recovered to another Mac without the need of the NAS using the following process:
Mount the external drive containing the backup of the NAS filesystem (ext4) which is encrypted onto a Linux host so it is readable - use the cryptsetup luksOpen options to access the encrypted filesystem then mount it.
Mount a n empty HFS+ formatted USB drive on the Linux host
Use Rsync to copy the sparsebundle from the external NAS drive backup disk to the root of the USB Drive
Insert the HFS+ formatted USB containing the sparesbundle into the Mac's USB port
Double click the sparsebundle to mount it onto the Mac as a Volume
Using Alt button and the TimeMachine icon, select use alternative backup disk and you should see the TM backup in the sparsebundle
Enter TimeMachine and you should be able to restore any/all files
Hope that helps someone else and thanks to LaPastenague for pointing me in the direction of some of the answers I needed.

Safely copying files from Target Disk Mode to External USB. Advice?

Just got a new iMac and transferred my system and important files to it from my old iMac. However, a partition on my old iMac has files I want to move to my new iMac so they can be included in Time Machine backups while others I want to move to another external hard drive since I have physical copies of most of those files elsewhere.
I can connect my old iMac to the new via Target Disk mode and copy the critical files from Mac-to-Mac easily and quickly enough. What I want to know is if I’m safe to copy the other files from the TDM-connected iMac to a USB drive.
I’ve read that having other devices connected to your Mac while another Mac is connected via TDM can result in corrupted files. Is this true? Is it unsafe to copy files from a TDM Mac to an external USB drive?
If it is safe, is it best to connect the USB drive to the new Mac or to the old one while it’s in TDM? There’s a lot of data so I’m wondering about transfer times. One method would see files going over Firewire through the new iMac to a USB drive, while the other would go from TDM-connected Mac directly to a USB drive connected to its own USB port. That is:
TDM iMac > New iMac > USB Drive connected to New iMac
or
TDM iMac > USB Drive connected to TDM iMac
I have limited space on my internal drive and I also don’t want to copy-hop from TDM iMac to New iMac then copy from New iMac to USB drive. I'd like to go directly from old drive to external USB drive if it's safe.
So I’m looking for advice on the best way to connect devices in order to cut down on copying time and number of copies, and to do it safely without corrupting data. Any advice is appreciated!

I've used Migration Assistant already to move all of my immediately necessary data and settings over. This other data was on a separate partition and I'm unable to copy all of the data over to my new drive due to lack of space.
Things are complicated by the fact that I need to change some of my externals over to Time Machine ready backups. Previously I was using 1 TB and a 2 TB drive for TM and another 2 TB drive for general backups/archiving. Now I need to juggle things around so that both 2 TB drives are for TM and the 1 TB is used for archiving.
An important point I should have mentioned is that I can't use my old iMac normally due to a GPU problem that seizes the system up. This is the reason I can't just copy stuff directly from old iMac to external USBs.
I'm interested to know if what I described above is safe and if there are any time savings or benefits for copying through my new iMac or connecting the externals directly to the old iMac in TDM.

Advice...Need To Backup and Replace Internal Drive

After a couple years, I have a bad feeling about my internal drive on the Mac Pro.
So....if I use SuperDuper to clone my entire internal drive, and I tell it to copy this to an external drive I have (which also has data on it, but has enough room to copy my internal), then once it's copied over there, and I install a brand new drive for a startup, how does one get the backup off the external drive back on the new blank drive? Do you just reverse the process and use SuperDuper to copy from the folder you copied everything into, onto the new drive?
My head is starting to hurt thinking about all this;)
Thanks
Tom

Boot to your restore DVD or a factory OS X disc released AFTER your machine was made. Make sure all externals are connected. Once you get to the desktop and see the "Install Mac OS X" stuff go to the 'Utilities" menu item and open Disk Utility.
Highlight the new Volume and Select Erase Tab, name what you want and set as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Click erase. You can also setup partitions if you need.
Then navigate to the "Restore" tab, click choose source and navigate to the superduper backup file. Click OK.
Drag the newly created "Named" volume into the destination field. Click restore and wait.
Alternately, if your HD is still working you can boot to the DVD and Disk utility and drag the volumes into source and destination to make a clone with out Superduper. This will save some time. If your old
boot is dead this will of course not work.

Itunes Library reinstalled from backup disk- but doesnt work without DISK

i recently cleaned up some bugs on my computer.
I also installed Avast antivirus.
I turned off the computer- a couple days later when I turned it on-my itunes library was empty.
I reinstalled the library from my backup disk
now lots of songs onthe library have exclamation points- when I click on them it says- we need to find them- then I put the disk back in and all is well.
I bought I new Ipod - 7.0 all good- and it sync-ed great- all songs on the Ipod work
ideally I would like to erase the itunes library and import everything from the Ipod so that I dont have to carry the backup disk everywhere. How do I do that? or another solution? thanks.

Yes...
*Fast backup for iTunes library (Windows Only)*
Grab SyncToy 2.0, a free tool from MS. Copy your entire iTunes library & any other media folders onto another hard drive or network share. After making your initial backup copy use SyncToy to periodically synchronise or echo your library to the backup. A preview will show which files need to be updated giving you a chance to spot unexpected changes and during the run only the changed files will be copied saving lots of time.
