Hey I use snow leopard.. thanks for the tip.. currrently I'm trying my osx 10.5 disc
No, that's not going to work. To restore a Snow Leopard backup, you must use a Snow Leopard install disc. If your iMac came with Snow Leopard, that one will work. If not, a retail (white) one will work, and doesn't violate the license, since you don't install OSX from it, just use the installer utility).
The backups will probably install, but your Mac won't boot (you don't get a warning up front that it won't work, unfortunately.)

HT1414 i need help :( trying to restore iphone and this comes up :/
this comes up when i finish the restore cant go any further i dont know what to do im desprate please help
The SIM card that you currently have installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone.Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information.It sounds as if your iphone has been hacked/unofficially unlocked and has now been locked back to the rightful carrier.
You would have to contact the carrier to whom the iphone is locked to see if they offer unlocking and if you qualify. -
I need help trying to restore the purchase.
I downloaded a Artist lesson and it stopped during the download I could not find it anywhere and so I downloaded the latest version of garageband and it won't let me restore any previous purchases. The restore purchase section is grey and won't let me click on it. Please help!
Is the "Download more sounds" button active? See
"Expanding GarageBand for Mac (v10.0) content with an in-app purchase"
If neither of these buttons is active, there may be a problem with your Apple ID. Are any restrictiins active? Are you in the same conutry you were, when you bought GarageBand? -
My Firefox history has disappeared and I need help trying to restore it. Please help!
CCleaner, out of no where, decided to delete most of my Firefox history the last time I used it. There's a tiny part of my browser history that's still there, but most of it's gone. If someone can PLEASE help me, you have no idea how grateful I would be.
Firefox doesn't keep backup copies of the history like is done with the bookmarks, so if you didn't create such a backup yourself then you are probably out of luck.
I don't know if Windows keeps previous (shadow) copies of the places.sqlite file.

HT1414 i need help trying to restore my iPhone
i changed my passcode and typed in the wrong passcode to get in my phone and has put a lock on it. i went to itunes to restore it and it says i need to put the passcode in on my phone first to select my device through itunes. im not able to put in my passcode trough my phone.
It will only do that if that is not the computer you normally sync with, or if you set the passcode since the last time you synced with that computer.
Google "iPhone recovery mode". You will need to force it into recovery mode and restore. -

I have had to restore my ipad to factory settings, having made a backup on my pc first. When Ihave tried to restore from my pc I have no apps!! Please can anyone help me get them back with all their data. I don't have wifi at home and I have never been able to sync my pc with my ipad, although it works with my iphone! I copied all of the apps before I restored using itunes, but no idea where they are copied to. Any help would be hugely appreciated to get my daughters games back. Thank you in advance )
Hi Skydiver119
Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to my problem.
Yes the purchases were made though my apple id.
I have looked at a few other questions on this topic and I have read that the app data is stored in the backup file but the apps themselves need to be synced back onto the ipad. Someome has mentioned right clicking on sync my ipad but I don't know where to find that to right click on!! Lol.
Again, I really appreciate your time and if by any chance you know where I can 'right click' I would really appreciate you letting me know as I can't get my ipad to sync with my pc at all, although it is being picked up in itunes and it has backed up to itunes okay. GGrrr. Maybe I have something wrong in the settings which is not making them compatible? -
Updated my iphone4 with ios6.1 software. App store is not working. Tried rebooting, restoring, changing date, signing with another apple id etc. but no luck. can someone please help?
I guess I will wrap this up. I have abandoned iPhoto and viewing my Photo Streams using it and moved to Adobe products (Bridge + PS). So that's that.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

My iphoto library inexplicably disappeared! i am panicked but i do back up by time machine to an external drive and also to JustCloud. I am trying to restore my iphoto library from a back up on feb 28, 2014 and it says it's copying but then gives me a message that it can't do it because i "don't have authorization to access iphoto library"?! what does this mean? i really want to get my library back on my mac. Also if anyone knows why this happened or where my photos might be on my computer, i'd appreciate help with that, too.
Thank you Terence for your help. I was able to restore my backup from my time machine ext drive to a new 1tb seagate ext drive. so i felt sort of ok. but yesterday that older ext drive i used for time machine wouldn't open! i called applecare and they trouble shooted with me and said it's probably a goner and data is probably corrupted. it's only a few years old and i'm very careful with it. my husband accidentally dropped my new drive last night -- i know, unbelievable, i was SO upset, poor guy -- but I'm so stressed with all of this. i have 10 years of photos and videos. so now i only have the one newer drive with a backup. i have to buy another one today to backup again so i at least have two backups. i tried to delete a ton of files last night to free up the 30 gb of space i need to get my full library back on my mac. i have 90gb free and deleted 7 years worth of photos i had on picasa that were in my "pictures" folder and also a ton or random photos and videos i had in that same pictures folder and thought that would give me the 30 gb but it hardly freed up any space at all! do you know why that is? all of this stuff is really a pain and really stressful. thank god i did have a backup in the first place but now i am panicked the one i have left will somehow crash. especially after my husband dropped the drive lastnight! it didn't fall far and fell onto a wood floor and seems fine, but after my older ext drive crashed yesterday -- and i lost my entire iphoto library a fewweeks ago off my mac -- i feel cursed. any answers you have would be great. thank you.

I have a PC that runs Windows XP, I can not down load any new up dates. It appears that an earlier copy of Bonjour is either MISSING from location or is damaged rendering it null. I have tried to download iTunes 10.7 and get stuck. I am so frustrated and well am in need of help. I don't know what more I could short of purchasing knew computer. I even went as far as trying full restore, that one file just cant be fixed. Any Ideas left for me to consider?
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
