Had to wipe my mac, can I save my iPhone  data?

I had to get a new Hard drive fitted which is obviously blank. I can get my music back into iTunes via my back up but can I restore my mac's address book and iCal from my iPhone?

Yes - the sync process for contact info, calendar events, and bookmarks is a bidirectional or true sync process.
Before syncing this data, enter one contact in the Address Book and one calendar event in iCal on your Mac. Make these up if needed which can be deleted later.
This will provide a merge prompt when syncing this data, which you want to select.
FYI - the Address Book and iCal include a simple and quick export/backup option which can be included with your computer's backup. I always update my backup for both before and after making any significant changes - additions, deletions, or edits.

  • HT204150 i have deleted all contacts in icloud but still have them on my iphone (which is backed up as well to iTunes) how can i restore the iphone data to the iCloud so it will resend it to my mac book and iPad?

    i have deleted all contacts in icloud but still have them on my iphone (which is backed up as well to iTunes) how can i restore the iphone data to the iCloud so it will resend it to my mac book and iPad? I have switched my iphone to airplane mode so it is not connected to the internet and so icloud can not wipe it at the moment.
    thanks roy

    There's a menu choice (I think under "Files") that lets you sync purchased items on a device back to itunes.  Look for that.
    iCloud does not store music.  If you want to do that you'd have to subscribe to itunes Match, but to get music to the match servers, you need the music in the itunes library on your computer.

    Would like to upgrade to a new Macbook Pro machine/software.  How can I save my quicken data from quicken 2006?

    Users have reported that Quicken 2015 for Mac is an upgrade of the generally loathed Quicken Essentials for Mac.
    I recommend you continue your Quicken operating experience by purchasing Quicken 2007 for Mac directly from Intuit for $15.  It will open your Quicken 2006 file and operate as you have before.

    Deconnevt and then connecting the power tp the Time Capsule gives also no solution.

    Joe

    I listed the commands.. that is how you manually mount the disk.. follow exactly the commands I gave you.
    In finder use top menu, go, connect to server.
    Type in the following.
    AFP://TCname or AFP://TCIpaddress (obviously you replace with the actual name or the actual IP address).
    If that fails..
    try
    SMB://TCname
    Here is the screenshot.
    tardis4 being the name of my TC.
    It should then ask you for your credentials.
    And it should remember them in the keychain and be able to then get TM to connect.

  • I had to wipe my mac clean but not my iPhoto is gone and so are my pics?  how do i get it back

    I had a problem with the internet on my mac and had to take my mac in and they wided the device clean.  I lost my iphoto if I redownload iphoto is there a sign in where my photos are stored?

    You wiped your drive and have no backups, so all your data are gone. Lesson learned: always have backups BEFORE you start wiping drives or deleting files.
    General File Recovery
    If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as MAC Data Recovery, Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro.  Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.  Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk.  Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. Recovery software usually provide trial versions that enable you to determine if the software would help before actually paying for it. Beyond this or if the drive has completely failed, then you would need to send the drive to a recovery service which is very expensive.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.

  • PLEASE: How can I save my iphone texts and "notes" (not "the note") to my computer? I need them for reference and legal purposes. I have yet to find an app for this and iphone doesn't sync either one.

    Greetings!
    I am brand new to using a Support Community -- I'm more of a in-person show me learner but...huge snowstorm and I don't want to
    to make an appointment at a Genius Bar, driving 15 miles, especially since I asked about this once before  and no one there was able to
    give me an "official" Apple answer .  I do hope I am posting my question (and plea) for help properly.
    LOL when I had my first lil' Mac Classic, over 20 years ago, my participation in the techno world was soooo much easier, simpler.
    My current situation: I have soooo many texts on my iphone and I haven't deleted many because I need the information contained in them for
    future reference and for legal purposes.  I would really like to find a means and way to save them other than on the phone itself.
    I've done searches for various apps yet I'm not finding what I think I would need.  It appears Apple does not sync the texts between the iphone and
    my MacBook Pro.
    Also I often use Notes for quick journaling as well as copy and pasting from other apps, usually inspirational, that I know I am going to want
    to read again (always with credit noted ) and these too are taking up space.  If I could email myself I would but the apps I'm using don't offer that and each day there is a new commentary -- no way to go "back".
    I am currently using OS 10.6.8 on my MacBook -- my disc drive doesn't work and upgrading has to be done at the Apple Store so I don't have iCloud yet.
    My iphone 4  is running OS 6.0.1 -- no upgrade until I'm at a wifi connection -- most of the time I'm using my personal hotspot.
    I'm a very busy self-employed Nana raising grandchildren and a great-grandchild.  I don't have a lot of time and certainly not enough for copying and pasting every text as well as note and emailing it to myself.  There has got to be a better, easier way, yes?
    I'd be most appreciative of any and all assistance here.  Oh, someone mentioned to me I ought to get a "stick" for downloading but were talking
    in a language I'm still learning. 
    Thank you!
    Melinda

  • How can I save my iphone backup on my hard drive?

    Hi Guys!
    I would like to save my iphone backup on my hard drive cause I don't have enough space on my computer...
    Could you help me? How can I select on itune where I want to save it??
    Cheers

    Hey there alexsansdrap.c,
    I see that you want to find where your iTunes backups are saved in order to transfer them to your external hard drive. You can find the location of the save files by using the information in the following article:
    Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204269
    Where your backups are stored
    The folder where your backup data is stored depends on your computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your data-backup routine. iTunes places the backup files in these places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your Home folder, hold Option and click the Go menu.
    Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata%, then press Return.
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, then choose Run. In the search bar, type %appdata%, then click OK.
    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Braden

    Hi Anward,
    When you create a file, you could index the name by time or something unique (iteration number for instance).
    So if the vi that creates the file has a loop which keeps tract of the test cycle, then you can place the filename creation within this loop. If it is located within a sub-vi which is called at every cycle, then create the name there. Make sure you close the written file at the end of each cycle.
    Use the "Open/Create/Replace File.vi" located in "File I/O" of the Functions Palette. Wire the option to Create new file.
