How do i replace my macbook's iCal data with the data from my iPad?

hi,
recently i decided to try iCloud and well, i didn't quite like the duplicates~
so i've decided to opt out, but i accidentally selected "keep all data" when i turned it off~
now i'm stuck with duplicates after i've sync-ed my iphone to my macbook~
i would very much like to replace all the ical data on my macbook with my ipad (it's my only set of "original" data)~
i do know there's an option to "replace all data on my ipad with my macbook" but how about vice versa?
any suggestions?
~K

Greetings Kyrie,
iCloud does not inherently cause duplication of calendars. Once you have a good set of data following these steps you may want to consider trying iCloud again after first flushing all the bad data out of the cloud (meaning deleting all the calendars from icloud.com). But first things first:
If the iOS device is the only place where the data exists, proceed with caution.
Backup your iOS device: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Create a new admin user account on your computer: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mtusr001.html
Go to Apple > Log Out
Login to the new account
Sync the iOS device in the new user and merge all data (not replace)
Launch iCal in the new user -- If the calendar database on the iOS device is intact you should see all the calendars here in iCal.
Highlight each calendar on the left hand side one at a time and then go to File > Export > Export and save the resulting file to desktop. Repeat this process until you have exported all the calendars you want saved to the desktop.
Quit iCal
Put the .ics files you created on the desktop into Macintosh HD > Users > Shared (You can get there by going to "Go" > "Computer" at the top of the computer screen.)
Go to Apple > Log Out
Login as the main user account
Go to Macintosh HD > Users > Shared and drag the ics files to the desktop of your user account.
Open iCal and add one new empty calendar by going to File > New Calendar > On My Mac.
Delete all the other calendars that have the bad data in them.
One at a time, double-click the ics files on your desktop and choose "New Calendar" from the resulting drop down menu. (This will create a new fresh calendar in iCal and import the contents of the ics file into that calendar.)
Hope that helps!

You can setup an iCloud account. You get 5GB free space for storage.

How can I replace my Mac and iCloud contacts with the ones in my iPhone?

I have a new iPhone (iOS 6) and have edited, added, linked and deleted some of my contacts. How can I have THAT list replace all of the other contact lists in the rest of my devices?

If you are using iCloud on iPhone and Mac, that must be already done. If not, you have to setup iCloud on both devices with the same Apple ID.
Before you try anything, download an app like "Contacts kit" or "My Contacts Backup" to your iPhone and make a backup of your list and send it via email to yourself.

How can I replace all music on my iPod with the music in my iTunes Library?

My iPod Touch (5th Generation) contains all the music that I purchased on iTunes with my previous iPod. I managed to transfer all music, including those from CDs, from my old iPod onto iTunes (newest version), so I figured that I would sync my iPod to retrieve them. However, every time I sync my iPod with my music library, I get duplicates of the purchases that my iPod contains, but not of those from CDs. When I go onto the "Music" section in my iPod, no items are shown. I have all the music that I want sorted out in my iTunes Library, so I want to replace only the music on my iPod with the music in the Library. How do I do this, or at least delete the music on my iPod (but not iTunes) so I can sync the entire music library later?

Correction: The music on my iPod doesn't show up in the "Music" section in "iPod" in iTunes.

How to populate a filter field in one page with the value from other page

Take the classic report with form application.
on page 1 (report) I have a filter (dbname) for the records that will appear in the report. Say that, I enter "ap02" in the filter and all records where dbname starts with "ap02" will display. It works ok.
Then I click on "create" button and page 2 appears. I enter all fields except the dbname. This field is generated, at "pre-insert trigger on the table".
What I want is when I press the button "create" on page 2 to pass the value of the generated dbname field into the filter in page 1 so when that page refreshes I will have only one record on the report page (1). I understand that the dbname at the page 2 level still empty because it is generated by the trigger. How do I have access to that info to populate the filter.
Thanks for your assistance

Joe - Work backwards from the value generated during the execution of the trigger. You have the value there so you could save it into a package variable right then (create a package with a variable and assign the value to the variable). Then create a process on the page (after the DML process) to assign the value of your package variable to a page item. Then in the branch back to page 1, pass the item. (Or without messing with the branch, the process could simply assign the package variable directly the the page 1 item -- :P1_ITEM := my_package.my_var; ).
An alternative would be to use the "returning into" feature of DML to capture the PK of the created record into an item. Then the next page process could use the PK to fetch the new row and get the dbname value for passing to page 1.
Another option would be to update session state directly in the trigger.

How can i use my synology iTunes Server with the iTunes from my iPad?

Have anybody the Same Constalation @ home? I like to have Access to my synology iTunes Server from my iPad via iTunes without a thirdparty App, to have Access to the Central Data like Music, etc.? Have some One expirence with the configuration and implementation?

It will almost certainly not be possible. If you don't sign up for AT&T service for the iPad, then replace your Sprint card with a MiFi or Overdrive device from Sprint. This will use your Sprint service, but connect to your iPad using Wi-Fi. It also has the advantage of you being able to use it with any Wi-Fi capable device. IOW, you can use both your laptop and iPad at the same time with the MiFi or Overdrive, but only have to pay for one Sprint account. Of course, all devices that connect to the MiFi or Overdrive will use up your 5GB allotment, unless you use Overdrive in a 4G area. (Overdrive is unlimited on 4G, but has a 5GB cap in 3G areas.)

I do that by using iCloud to house all my contacts. Then simply use the same Apple ID on the iPad and iPhone, and turn on iCloud on both.

How much to replace broken macbook pro screen??

how much to replace broken macbook pro screen??

Few thoughts:
There is a minuscule possibility that you can successfully convince the Genius that the damage was not due to abuse or mishandling. And if it is still under warranty, a new free screen will be yours. Don't get your hopes up too high, though...
If a Retina, the cost will be so high that maybe selling it for parts and getting a new one might be a better idea.
Same may apply if it is very old. Not cause the screen costs arm+leg, but because you will be sinking lots of cash onto a sinking ship.
If handy with tools, can explore PowerBookMedic.com or IFixIt.com for parts prices and howto.

How do I replace someone else's Mac ID with my own? Bought iPhone second hand. Previous owner re-set the phone but his ICloud account stayed on now my phone. He uses his macID on his new iPhone now?? Any ideas, as this issue is blocking my access to iTune

How do I replace someone else's Mac ID with my own?
Bought iPhone second hand on TradeMe.
Previous owner re-set the phone but his ICloud account stayed on now my phone. He uses his AppleID on his new iPhone now and, understandably, does not want to give me his password. Any ideas?? Please.
This issue is blocking my access to iTunes and any other file from my home computer. It keeps on telling me that I have to autorise my computer to pass on files, yet, it seems, for all this to happen, I need to get logged in through the phone's Apple ID. This of course is different to my one on my computer - and I have no password for it.
This phone is not stolen!! I payed still a fair bit for it. Am still in contact with the previous owner. He doesn't know how to fix the problem either.
Would appreciate any suggestion ????
Thanks
SamSings

Settings>general>resets>erase all content and settings.
That will put it back to its out of the box state. Set it up with your own apple Id.

You can copy the iWeb application from the desktop machine to your new MBA. But if it's iWeb 2 it won't work with Mavericks or Mt. Lion. Also copy the Domain.sites file from the desktop to your MBA as that's the file with your webstite files in it.

Try restoring from the backup created at the beginning of the sync process:
Without connecting your phone, open iTunes, go to Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically"
Connect your phone, right-click on the name of your phone when it appears on the left sidebar in iTunes
Select Restore from backup, choosing your most recent backup to restore from
Disconnect your phone and confirm that your photos are back
Go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing.
