Getting (incrementally) backed up files from external HD to new mac

Hi everyone,
The hard drive on my ibook died. I was running Tiger, and regularly backed up all the files on my home folder to an external hard drive. I use the software that came with the computer (Backup) to do this.
Yesterday, I purchased a MacBook. When I attach my external hard drive and try to open my backed up files, all I see is one full backup folder and many, many incremental backups. I understand, on a conceptual level, what incremental backups are. But I have no idea how to use them to retrieve my files.
So, my question is this: how do I retrieve files that were backed up to an external hard drive (from my old computer) and transfer them to the internal HD on my new computer? Migration assistant is absolutely no help here since I can't access the internal HD on my old, dead ibook.
Many thanks for any tips,
RB

If you used Backup to create the backup, then use it to restore the files.

  • How do i transfer files from external harddrive to new mac

    Okay I'm getting a new macbook pro with retina display tomorrow, but i currently own a macbook pro. I backed up everything on an external hard drive from the macbook pro. Question is, how do I get all my stuff from the external to the new macbook pro with retina?

    Well, I would skip the Firewire since it isn't essential. Connect the backup drive to your new Retina when it arrives, but before you turn it on for the first time. When you then turn it on you will begin in the Setup Assistant where you will have an opportunity to restore your files from a backup drive or another computer. Select the appropriate option. You can then restore (migrate) your Home folder, third-party applications and support files, and system preferences. Once that is completed when the computer restarts you will be all set up in your old Home folder.
    Note that you will be transferring files over a USB connection. Depending upon how much data you are transferring this may take a very long time, so be patient. A USB drive's typical transfer rate is about 12 GBs/hour.

  • Transfer iTunes files from external drive onto new iMac

    I had all of my iTunes files on an external hard drive with an old eMac. I want to transfer the files to my brand-new iMac.
    It's easy to copy the iTunes Library folder from the external drive onto the iMac hard drive, and change the preferences so that new songs are stored onto the iMac, but it doesn't change the settings for iTunes. Then, if I "Add to Library" I get two copies of everything: the file that's on the external drive PLUS the file that's on the new iMac. If I delete all of the "old" duplicates, it will mess up my playlists.
    Isn't there an easy way to point iTunes to the new Library on the iMac and have it change the location setting for all of the songs?

    okay, let me rephrase my question:
    when you moved your files from the old Mac to the external, did you
    (a) drag the entire iTunes folder from <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music to the external
    or
    (b) use the +consolidate files+ command to move the files to the external
    if (a), connect the external to the new Mac and launch iTunes while pressing option on your keyboard. when prompted, click on +choose library+ and select the iTunes folder on the external.
    if (b), copy the iTunes folder from <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music on the old Mac to <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music on the new one, overwriting the iTunes folder in place there. connect the external to your new Mac and fire up iTunes normally.
    if you want to move the media files from the external to the internal disk of your new Mac, go iTunes > preferences > advanced and point +iTunes media folder location+ to the iTunes folder in <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music. also on the advanced tab, make sure there is a tick in the boxes next to +keep iTunes media folder organized+ and +copy files to ... when adding to library+.
    then file > library > organize library > consolidate files. this will copy all your media files to the location you specified earlier in the advanced tab. when done, you can (if you want) erase the external and use it for other purposes. or keep the files there and use the external as your backup.

    The only thing is we need to buy this software. if there is a free solution to inter change files between NTFS and HFS it would be better,
    Don't use NTFS, remove your data off it first and change the format to something the Mac and PC can read, but doens't cost money or require software.

  • HT4889 I am trying to migrate my back up files from external hard drive to my MAC

    How to migrate back up data to my mac from external HD?

    Drag and Drop via the Finder?
    Applications -> Utilities -> Migration Assistant?
    The backup program's restore functionality?
    Those are all guesses, as we do not know how the files were backed up, what kind of system they came from (Mac, Windows, Unix, Other,...).

    It's likely that the drive is malfunctioning or that there is an internal hardware fault, but to confirm, see below.
    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • How do i transfer files from external hd to new hd in macbook pro

    Hi Totally new to upgrading Mac.  I Backed up my hd to a an external hd. Upgraded my hd to 1tb. How do I make the transfer? The new hd does show in disk utility. Do I have to format this hd? Really not sure what to do next. Thanks

    Format the new 1TB internal drive 1 partition, Option: GUID, Format: OS X Extended Journaled, give it a name and click Apply.
    Then head to Erase and move the slider one notch to the right, then click erase and come back in a few hours.
    What this will do is write zero's to the whole hard drive and then it reads it back and if the driver can't read a sector of data, it's mapped off never to be written to again.
    This is a lenghtly process, but has the benefit of your precious data being placed on perfectly working magnetic sectors and reduces a lot of issues later on down the road.
    Once that is finished, quit Disk Utility and install OS X using your AppleID and password on a reliable, fast, Internet connection (preferably via Ethernet cable)
    Once that is done, reboot and setup. If your backup is TimeMachine or bootable clone, then hook that up first and reboot again so Setup Assistant see's it and you can use that to transfer your programs and accounts/files over.
    If you want to start brand new, with no contamination of older programs, then install programs fresh first from original sources (best actually) and then manually transfer personal files from backup checking to see what they are.
    If the account names are different, then drop the files into the DropBox folder of your new account's Public folder, this way the permissions and whatnot will change.
    When you use Migration or Setup Assistant, it copies all your crap and unwanted history along for the ride.
    Some like a clean start on a new machine, leaving sins of the past behind them.

  • Transfer files from External Harddrive to new iMac

    Had old powerbook, saved all data onto External Harddrive. Purchased new iMac and need to transfer Address Book and iCal information from ex. harddrive to iMac. I can't seem to figure it out. Can anyone help?

    Well, I would skip the Firewire since it isn't essential. Connect the backup drive to your new Retina when it arrives, but before you turn it on for the first time. When you then turn it on you will begin in the Setup Assistant where you will have an opportunity to restore your files from a backup drive or another computer. Select the appropriate option. You can then restore (migrate) your Home folder, third-party applications and support files, and system preferences. Once that is completed when the computer restarts you will be all set up in your old Home folder.
    Note that you will be transferring files over a USB connection. Depending upon how much data you are transferring this may take a very long time, so be patient. A USB drive's typical transfer rate is about 12 GBs/hour.

  • How to move iPhoto Library from external drive to new mac?

    I have exported a copy of my iPhoto Library from my old mac to an external hard drive. How can I import entire library into iPhoto of new mac? When I click Import to Library, I'm unable to highlight iPhoto Library file listed on my external hard drive in Finder. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Is the iPhoto library on the new computer empty? If it is, quit iPhoto and just drag the iPhoto library on the New Computer to the trash and drag the iPhoto library from the EHD to the pictures folder on the new computer - there is no importing involved - you NEVER want to import an iPhoto library into another iPhoto Library
    If you want to run the new computer with the iPhoto library on the external drive simply launch i{Photo while depressing the option (alt) key and use the select library to point to the EHD

  • How to sync files from iPhone to a new Mac hard drive

    Please help,
    Thanks,
    Andrea

    You should back-up all important info/music/pics to an external source for this very reason. If you did not do this, then you are going to have problems.
    The iphone music and pic sync is one way - computer to iphone. You can e-mail the pics to yourself one at a time. The pics are optimized for iphone so they will not be the same quality as the original. Only itunes purchased music can be transfered from iphone. With iphone connected, in itunes click File>Transfer Purchases.
    You can set up your mobileme on your new computer:

  • Transfer applications from external to my new mac

    iv removed my old hard drive from my macbook (which i have sold) and am about to buy a new 13"mbp. unfortunately i couldn't buy the new machine before selling the old, so im presented with a problem... i could just install the disk in the new machine (its a 320gb 7200rpm, so in the long-term i'll be doing this in any case), but i'll want iLife 09 on there, and its possible there are system files that are required for the new machine that wont be on my old system (10.5.7, from a 2007 macbook).
    The main thing is that i want all my files, and applications and settings, plugins etc on the new mbp, but because i dont have the old laptop i cant use migration assistant. the disk is in a usb enclosure currently.
    So, do i install the old disk and then try and update iLife, or will i run into problems? Or, can i transfer my applications and all their settings via some other means? i have a (full!) lacie firewire external which i could perhaps employ.

    ok... coming at the problem from a slightly different angle - what will happen if i simply install the other drive in the machine? (As i said in the original post, i do want this bigger faster drive in the mbp eventually). Then the OS will be current, but it'll be on iLife 08 and there might be system software missing(!). Will it work or will the laptop explode?
    How about this - could i create a new version of the mbp OS from the install disc and put this on the external, then somehow merge over the old one?
    thanks for your help

  • I have backed up my disk using Time Machine.  Now I want to delete the backed-up files from my hard drive.  But when I do and reconnect the external hard drive, the files are also deleted on that.  What do I do?

    I have backed up my disk using Time Machine.  I then deleted the back-up files from my MacBook hard drive.
    I then reconnected my external hard drive and find the files I deleted from my hard drive are also deleted from
    my external hard drive.  Can someone tell my what what happened?  I'm confused.

    Hello,
    Time Machine is not a good way to do that, when it eventually needs more room it deletes old Backups to make room.
    If you really want to keep Files but remove them from the Internal Drive, then I'd get another external drive to copy or clone them to that is not used for TM.
