Hard Drive Failed - How to get Blog/iWeb back to new hard drive?

Our hard drive failed and none of the data is recoverable. I have a new hard drive and want to do a new post on our blog, but am worried it will delete our old blog (hence all our pix etc too) if I publish from this empty new blog. How do I get the old blog back on our computer from the iDisk I guess? Any help would be great cuz I have no clue what I'm doing!
Same problem with our gallery and iPhoto. How to get those pix back in iPhoto apart from downloading them from the site?

HT4889 Replacing System hard drive with a new one. How to get everything over to the new boot drive?

Replacing System hard drive with a new one. How to get everything over to the new boot drive? Should I use Carbon Copy or does apple have a better untility to do this?
I can't get my current system drive (OSX 10.8.3) to start on the first try. I always have to shut down and restart again to finally see the Apple logo.
Have used disc utility to repair the disc and permissions several times and that works. The next time I boot up, it works fine and I get the apple logo, but then the second time I boot up, it's back to the blank screen again and it only boots after the second try. I have tried this repair three different times now always with the same result. Works right the first try (after the repair) then from the second time on it doesn't work. I just get the white screen until I reboot a second time.
Thinking I should change drives but what's the easist and best way to move everything over to the new drive so it will boot correctly with all my data on it. This is the system drive for a Pro Tools 10HD setup. MacPro 3,1 with 16 gigs ram and OSX10.8.3 on it.
Thanks for any help!

If you have a time machine back up of your current drive you can do this
Shut down your computer, install the new drive. While the computer is off plug in the external hard drive that you have your time machine back up on. Hold Option key while the computer turnes on, let go of the option key once you get a grey screen. Shortly after you'll see a list of bootable drives, select the one that has your time machine back up on it and boot into that drive.
From there go into disk utility, format your new drive too, osx extended journaled ( I think, double check that, its been awhile since ive had to do this), hit format
Exit disk utility and then you can use time machine to copy all your exisit data to the new hhd and then your pretty much done.
There is also a program called Carbon Cloner that will do esentially the same thing however I've never uesed it.

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 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 provides 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.
Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.
You will need to install the old drive into an external enclosure to try and access it.
Any applications purchased from the App Store can simply be redownloaded.

My PC hard drive died and I have replaced it. Need to import the music on my classic iPod, but get a message that it's synced with another library (old hard drive). How do I import the music onto the new hard drive? Senuti (one respondent's suggestion) is just for macs. I have no old hard drive to copy to the new hard drive (another respondent's suggestion.)

Need to figure out how to get windows on a brand new hard drive

So my hard drive for my Toshiba Satellite L505-s59903 ended up fully crashing past the point of every being used again. So i replaced the hard drive, only problem is i never made back up disks for my os. I was wondering is there a way for me to get ahold of the windows 7 recovory disks for my laptop. Right now since i don't have a os for the laptop i have a version of linux running, but i wanted to get back to windows, any help would be great.
also to add i do have a copy of windows XP, but i didn't want to have to use it if i could get the recovery disks instead.
If OS recovery isn't availble is there a way to make a driver disk so i can install the new version of windows?

If you don't care about having an exact restore w/ the recovery partition, or Office 2007 or other software that it shipped with:
download the Win7 iso w/ Service Pack 1 from Digital River (Google for links)
burn it to disk
then go to the Downloads section for your model & d/l all the Toshiba stuff (except Intel storage driver if you still have a HD that uses 512K sectors.   Not an "advanced format" drive. You need the Intel driver for advanced format. It translates the larger sector size of the drive to smaller ones for the older PCs, or something like that. It slows the system down, too.)
go to Toshiba support, downloads; find L505D-S6947, and get the Windows 7 Upgrade instructions for that model to use as a guide to install theToshiba stuff
install your "generic" Windows 7 on the Toshiba
install your Toshiba model's stuff
use to COA number on sticker on the bottom to activate (If you don't have that, buy recovery disks for $30 shipped will be your solution.   You can run the d/l Windows 7 unactivated for 30 days but it will nag you all the time that it needs to be activated and isn't a genuine Windows. And I think that it also takes some mysterious pauses every now and then, just to irritate those who are using it free.)
burn a disk image / backup of it as soon as you have it tweaked and updated and running just right
That should work.   I think I listed all the steps.
You can d/l Office 2010 but I don't think you can get 2007.   If you don't have disks for that, or Quickbooks, and need it, Recovery disks are the cheap answer.
The shipper for the Toshiba recovery disks is pretty fast. I just bought disks for the secondhand L505-ES5034 i3 that I bought with a trashed hard drive and no recovery partition or disks.   I put the Win8 preview on it and then the add-on start button, and I'm liking that pretty much. Excect I can't load any Toshiba software and thus I have no battery life indicator anymore and I have been shut down several times now, haha.

Hard Dive spoiled - How to get the data back on iTunes ?

Dear All,
my hard drive is spoiled and so I have only the data on my Ipod Nano 2GB and IPOD Video 80GB. How can I get the Data on the new Itunes?
Thanks a lot

For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Enable your iPod for disk use.
See: iPod Disk Use.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.
SharePod is also freeware.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

IMac Hard Drive Crashed - Need to get music from iPod to new hard drive

The 250GB hard drive on my iMac crashed - totally fried. It's been replaced and the operating system and software reinstalled. The problem - I have 22GB of music on my iPod (5G, 60GB) that I'd like to get back onto the computer. All music is legal - ripped from my library of 500+ CD's. The iPod is already set to manual updates and for use as a disc drive.
Someone please tell me there's a way to do this without having to rip all 500 CD's again...

Check this link for lots of solutions for that:

If they are songs you purchased plug your iPod in and in iTunes select "File > Transfer Purchased Music From iPod".

How can I get my site back (done with Iweb) on my new hard drive? I had to change my hard drive after droping my computer.

Hard drive failed, how can I reinstall Windows 7?

The hard drive failed on my dad's laptop. Replacing it isn't a problem, but I'm not sure how to get Windows 7 back onto it. His laptop came with it installed already and he doesn't have any backup discs. Will HP send discs so that I can reinstall the OS? I'd rather not have to buy a new OS.

How do I get the os on a new hard drive?

optical drive doesn't work, hard drive crashed. how do I get the os on a new hard drive?

You can connect an external optical drive.
You can use another Mac with a good optical drive together with a Firewire cable if both computers have Firewire ports.
You can have someone clone the installer DVD to an 8 GB USB flash drive.
You can take it to an Apple retailer and see if they will install for you.

Replaced my hard drive and can't get snow leopard back...

I replaced my hard drive and reinstalled the operating system using my "Leopard" install CD. But I had purchased "Snow Leopard" and now have no idea how to get "Snow Leopard" back. Itunes won't work for some reason...everything else is fine. I do have my time machine...but I had so much junk on their I don't want to just restore it... I want a fresh computer with what I had purchased..."Snow Leopard"...so that I can maybe upgrade to Mountain Lion.
Can someone help?

You need to reload it from the DVD you used to install it. If you've lost that, the online Apple Store sells them.
