Had a new hard drive installed on my Mac. Now how to get ALL my music/photos from iPhone to Mac?
I had a hard drive crash on my Mac laptop over Xmas, and had a new one installed. The iCloud contains all my purchased music, but I need to sync from my existing iPhone to get all the songs I previously had uploaded to my library from CDs. (Don't want to do that again if I can avoid it!) My iTunes library (actually on iCloud now) is about 600 songs short. Is there a way to do this? Every time I attempt to sync, I get a warning that all my songs on the iPhone will be wiped and replaced with what's in the library. That's exactly the opposite of what I want to do.
The iphone is not a backup/storage device. It simply mirrors the selected content of your computer. The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to backup, not good, then you can purchase third party programs to retrieve the other music, at your risk.

Had a new hard drive installed on iMac. No back up. How do I transfer my music, audio books on my iPhone to the Mac
Do you have the original hard drive?
If you purchased the music and books from the Apple iTunes store you can redownload (most of) them again. -

Had a new hard drive installed and want to move book marks to new drive
I had a new hard drive installed and want to move my book marks from the old HD to the new HD
Not sure how to access the FireFox book marks on the old HD and how to install them in the FireFox on the new driveSee [[recovering important data from an old profile]] in particular the section "Copying files between profile folders" and the one below it that describes the files in the profile folder.
The article shows how to find your current profile folder, you will need to find the equivalent folder on the old drive, the path to the current profile folder should show you where to look on the old HD for the old profile folder. The actual folder name for the profile folder will be different, but the path to it should be the same. -
I just had a new hard drive installed on my iMac
i just had a new hard drive installed on my iMac (due to the Seagate replacement program) i was able to migrate my back up(i think) but its now acting like a new computer and i can't get past the registration screen. I filled everything out but the "continue" button won't highlight and let me cxontinue.
Ah the mac wants to play games..
Ok, You should be able to click on continue twice so to skip it.
What version is the OS you restored? Or did you just perform Migration Assistant on it? -
i just had a new hard drive installed. After loading everything back on my computer from external drive, i came to the "select wireless network screen. I've misplaced the WEP password for my internet. Is there anyway to find it on another computer?
Maybe. What kind of other computer are you talking about? What operating system is it running? What kind of wireless router are you using?
Your best bet may be to just reset the router and set it up again.
Just so you know, WEP is a very old security system for wireless and is considered insecure. If you have it available, use WPA2. -
had a new hard drive installed last month. now iphoto won't start up, popup says "you can't open the application iphoto because it may be damaged or incomplete". can this be repaired without going to the repair shop?
What installed iPhoto there in the first place? Was it the same version of iPhoto that came with the Mac? Was iLife added at a later time from a Mac Box Set? You can selectively install iPhoto, and then apply the appropriate iLife update without taking it to the shop, after removing the application, or recover it from your backup.

I have had a new hard drive installed. On start up I transferred all my settings and documents from my time capsule. Once complete I have two user accounts. Mine and guest. I cannot access either. Mine says password incorrect even though its not. Any idea what is wrong here and how I can reset my password. I don't have a start up disc. Thanks very much
From System Preferences/Help:
Reset your login password using your Apple ID
Before you can use your Apple ID to reset your login password, make sure that FileVault isn’t enabled on your computer.
Also make sure that an Apple ID is associated with your user account, and that an administrator has given you permission to reset your own password using an Apple ID. For more information, see this help topic:
Associate Apple IDs with your user account
Make sure your computer is connected to the Internet.
In the login window, click the question mark in the password field, and then click the arrow in the dialog that appears.
Enter an Apple ID and password, and then click Reset Password.
I don't know if it works. -

Got a new hard drive installed and since then, I cannot get purchased song into my itunes. It is telling me that my write access or permission are wrong. I have changed all and nothing works. HELP!!!!!!
Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps. -
My hard drive died on my MacBook Pro. So the Apple store installed a new hard drive for me yesterday. Now I can't find Pages or Numbers at all. Do I have to purchase these? Thanks for the feedback!
Did you purchase them or did they come with your Mac?
