Going from 256GB to 80GB SSD

Hello,
I'm going from my 256GB to an 80GB SSD, and I'll use an external for my file store. When I restore using time machine, do I have the option to pick and choose what I want to restore?

Hi, and welcome to the forums.
That depends on what you want to do. You have 4 options:
Restore your entire system to the exact state it was in at the time of any backup. See #14 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.
Install OSX, then restore your settings, apps, users, and/or data via +Setup Assistant.+ See #19 in the FAQ Tip. Then download and install the "combo" update to get back to 10.5.8. Info and download available at: http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate Be sure to do a +Repair Permissions+ via Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder) afterwards.
Install OSX, set up one user and install the "combo" as above. Then use +Migration Assistant,+ per this Apple article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3322
Install OSX, set up one user and install the "combo" as above, then restore selected items from Time Machine. See #15 in the FAQ tip.
Without knowing just what you want to do, we can only advise that usually your best bet is to do the full system restore, then delete anything you don't want, rather than trying to pick and choose what you do want, especially with applications.

  • Going from 30GB to 80GB

    Folks, I'm thinking of going from my 30GB Video to one of the new 80GB. Not worried about the cost, but more concerned about how easy and upgrade would be ... is it as simply as plugging the new one into the computer and having my tunes library sent to the new device? Thanks in advance for any/all advice!

    Follow the instructions in this article if you want to erase everything from the iPod; plugging the iPod into a new computer and then changing the computer it is linked to will erase music, photos, and videos from it, but won't affect other content, such as notes and data.

  • T410s 1.8" 80GB SSD

    I recently ordered a fully loaded T410s with the 80GB Intel SSD and I'm wondering if it's going to be G1 or G2. I asked the same question over at notebookreview and a person (yankees17) kindly answered that he got the T410s and it arrived with the G1 drive (he ordered on 1/7). When I choose(3/10) the 80GB SSD a message showed me that it may delay shipment by up to 4weeks.
    Can someone from Lenovo tell me if you're still putting G1 drives in the T410s or you switched to G2 (and thus the 4week delay?). I'm considering cancelling my order as I find it outrageous to wait an extra weeks to receive an outdated drive.
    Thanks,

    It's a G1. I would recommend to buy a T410s with the cheapest HDD you can get and then buy a Intel X18-M G2 separately. It's probably going to cost a bit more, but then you get a G2 SSD.

  • HT1414 My Ipad is stuck in an " infinate loop" It goes from the" loading"( white apple on screen) to openning screen. I can slide but can't enter pass code. I let it drain the battery, no good. I have held the buttons, no good, can't enter the pass code

    My Ipad is stuck in an "infinate loop" it goes from the "loading" (white apple) to the openning screen. I can slide to the passcode entery screen but it will not take the passcode. ( when I type it it does not recognize on the screen)

    I suggest try getting it back to your stock iOS and forget about jailbreaking.

  • Transfer iPhoto Library from ext HD to SSD

    I just upgraded my SSD from 256GB to 1TB and plan to move all the iPhoto library in the external HD to SSD.  I use iPhoto '09 ver 8.1.2.
    Does anyone know how to do it?

    I opened iPhoto and it gave an option to "Create New Library" so I did.  When I navigated thru, I got below message:
    "Cannot Create New Library. iPhoto cannot create a new library in this location because you do not have enough access privileges."

  • Installed the update tonight and now my phone (Lumia 928) won't power up.  I've tried a soft reset, but the screen goes from the Nokia logo to a red Verizon screen to a black screen.  What's wrong and how do I fix it?  Help!

    Installed the update tonight and now my phone (Lumia 928) won't power up.  I've tried a soft reset, but the screen goes from the Nokia logo to a red Verizon screen to a black screen.  Tried it 10 times with the same result.  What's wrong and how do I fix it?  Help!

        Oh no Mr.Ected!
    I can see if we can get your phone back on! I understand how important it is to have a phone. Have you tried this to see if we can get it back on? http://vz.to/1DZhteH . If it is still goes to a red Verizon screen and then to black we might need to do a master reset. While the phone is off try this:http://vz.to/1DZhXkU Be mindful this is the last resort because it will erase everything on the phone. If you have done back up assistant in the past you will be able to get you contacts back. Please let me know if you need any more help.

  • Going from iphone 4s to 6 want to know if i can save and or tran my voicemails and voice memos to put on my new phone

    going from 4s to 6 can I save my favorite voice mails and voice memos to put on my new phone via pc or cloud

    If you are planning to set up your iPhone 6 by restoring the iCloud backup from the iPhone 4s, your Visual Voice Mails and Voice Memos will be restored.

  • IPhone 4s Voice Memo App has 5 second delay when the record button is pressed. When it starts recording, it goes from 0 seconds to 5 or so seconds recorded. This happens randomly and often and sometimes has the delay but starts at zero. Solution Anyone?

    After iOS 7 update, my iPhone 4s Voice Memo App has 5 second delay when the record button is pressed. When it starts recording, it goes from 0 seconds to 5 or so seconds that it shows has recorded. This happens randomly and often, sometimes it will have the 5+ second delay but starts recording at zero seconds. Besides the delay it has been working fine as far as saving and playback is concerned. I have plenty of storage on the phone itself and it NEVER had this problem before I updated to iOS 7. I've reset the phone a couple times by holding down the power and home buttons at the same time. The reason I have an issue with this is that I'm always recording song ideas, melodies, and scratch takes; what I'm saying is when I come up with an idea I need to be able to know that when I hit record it will start right then so I don't forget anything that has just popped in my mind.
    Does anyone have a solution or suggestion?
    Thanks

  • My ipod 5th gen ios 7.0.6 crashed and keeps going from the apple logo, going to a black screen, back to the apple logo, then back to the black screen and so on. Furthermore, my laptop doesn't recognise that the iPod is connected. What do I do?

    Please help me out as this is very irritating. This has been happening for the last 20-30 minutes. It had roughly half battery left.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Hello jared1915
    If you are stuck in that loop, the next step would be to restore your iPhone. Check out the article below to get your iPhone into recovery-mode and restore it in iTunes.

  • HT4623 The software update option is not on my phone.  It just goes from "about" to "usage".  I have an iPhone 3G.  Every time I try to update it on iTunes, nothing changes.  I have version 4.2.1, no matter what I do.  Any suggestions?

    I have an iPhone 3G, and cannot update my iOS.  In the General tab, "Upadate Software" is not even there.  It just goes from "About" to "Usage".  When I try to update on iTunes, it always remains the same.  iOS 4.2.1.  Any suggestions?  (My PC uses Windows XP).   Also, my WiFi has completely quit working.  Works fine on the other iPhones in the house, as well as the XBox 360, so I am sure it's my phone.  I tried everything I could think of, including restoring the iphone to factory settings & then updating, but no luck.  Thank you! for any help you can give!  I plan to get an iPhone 5, but wasn't ready to do it quite yet.  Hopefully my phone can be rescued until I'm ready.

    That is the highest you will be able to go with 3g. You need 3gs or 4 to go any higher (multi processors and more memory needed).  Version 4.2.1 marks the end of your updates for that device.

  • I had to get a new iphone and want to know how to tell if my pictures from my previous phone were backed up on itunes.  when i connect my c even if i'm going from a 4 to a 5s?

    i had to get a new iphone and want to know how to tell if my pictures from my previous phone were backed up on itunes.  when i connect to itunes, does it automatically sync / backup even if i'm going from a 4 w/IOS 6 to a 5S w/IOS 7?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes you can probably delete the 2 incomplete back ups they are unlikely to work.
    However, I'd be inclined to back up to a computer as well and restore from there, if you are changing your phone.

  • I just jazzed up my 2 Ghz iMac with 10.6.8, and 4 gigs of memory. I'm VERY happy with the results (fast!), but now I have a thin yellow line way over on the right side of the screen, which goes from top to bottom. This is really strange! Any input?

    I'm VERY happy with the results (fast!). However, the really strange thing is this - there is now a thin yellow line, way over on the right side of the screen, which goes from top to bottom, and stays there no matter where I go or what I do. I've never seen anything like this! It was not there before I did the upgrades. Anyone out there ever heard of such a preposterous thing ~ or have any ideas on how to get rid of it?
