How do I replace my software with a backup from my Time Machine?

I keep losing my cursor when I come back from sleep mode, so I am unable to shut down the computer, am forced to crash by holding down the Power Button.The apple store said my hardware is fine, so I might have to reinstall all my software and thus replace my system with a backup version from my TIme Machine. I'm not sure how to proceed with this at home.

Suggest that you take a look at the excellent resource provided by Time Capule / Time Machine guru Pondini.

I had to replace the hard drive in my old MacBook. I replaced it. Installed OSX10.6. Then using the system software I reinstalled data from my Time Machine backup. On completion it asked for my password. It is not accepted. I am locked out how I overcome this?
I was already using 10.7. But only had the disc for 10.6.

Sorry I am new to this. Am I in the right area? I am using my iPhone to make contact. I am worried.

I have an iMac OS X 10.6.8 and have problems with the backup Disk for Time Machine disconnecting itself with the message that I ejected it improperly.. It ejected itself - why?

I have an iMac OS X 10.6.8 and have problems with the backup drive to Time Machine ejecting itself and so does not automatically backup the way it is meant to do. It is connected with an USB cable to my iMac. What could cause this - malfuntioning drive?

The "iLife" apps are not part of any Mac operating system install and are a separate purchase.
Once you get past 10.6.6 you can purchase and download iPhoto, GarageBand and iMovie. iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued.
Snow Leopard 10.6.6 and higher include the App Store application which is what you use to purchase Lion.

How Do I Restore A Replacement iPod Touch With the Backup From A Previous iPod Touch?

I recently received a replacement iPod Touch because of hardware issues with my previous one. I managed to back up my last iPod Touch with iCloud, I also recall using iCloud to restore it from backup after I first updated to iOS 5. All I'm looking to do is to restore everything exactly as it was (app data etc) on my last iPod before I had it replaced. Yet, when I attempt to restore it from back up, it restores with the wrong back up.

See if the lnk given here helps:

How do I restore all of my data to a newly installed hard drive from my time machine backup? Thanks

I had to replace my hard drive, I am new to restoring the data from the time machine. Is there anywhere that the steps are clearly articulated as I am not that versed in this kind of stuff? Thanks for responding.

Here it is: http://www.apple.com/au/osx/recovery/
As far as I'm concerned, the ONLY way to do this is to connect your macbook to your time capsule via Ethernet and restart it holding down the COMMAND-R keys.
This will take you to a restore prompt which will boot from your time capsule. The restore will then be a complete and up to date version of your old hard disk.
Don't even bother with older boot disks. I wished I got this advice from the many enquiries I made over two days! Restore took 2.5 hours.
Only found out about command R by a random google search late at night. So anybody replacing their hard drive and restoring from a time machine backup - do this!

How do I replace the organiser with a new one

How do I replace the organiser with a new one

The problem is to understand your question (or your two questions : do you both mean the same thing ?)
An answer to Hatstead question would help.
1 - Do you really mean using another software to organize your workflow ?
2 - Do you mean using other softwares based on folders rather than databases ?
3 - Or do you mean working with different catalogs ?
If you don't want to use the Organizer, it's not possible to 'delete' it, but it is simple not to use it.
Most other organizing solutions include the choice of selecting PSE editor as the external editor
There are various solutions depending on your platform : Windows, Mac, Linux...
It's important to know if you prefer the folders or database organization to suggest possible solutions.

How do I replicate my software and data my from current Mac desktop to my new Mac laptop?

How do I replicate my software and data my from current Mac desktop to my new Mac laptop?

Connect the two with a Firewire cable: Transferring files between two computers using FireWire. Boot the old computer into Target Disk Mode. Start the new computer normally which should take you to the Setup Assistant if this is the first time you've started it. Use the option in Setup Assistant to transfer data from the old computer.
If this is not the first time you've started the new computer then use Migration Assistant in the Utilities folder to transfer your data.

We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
Have you tried closing all apps via the iPad's multitasking bar and then doing a soft-reset and seeing that helps ? To close all apps :
iOS 7: double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag each app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
iOS 6 and below : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
Soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

How to restore my old Itunes Library WITH the DATA (plays & date added) from a time machine

Hi,
I recently got my macbook fixed through the apple store and the repairers replaced my hardrive, therefore wiping my computer of all its infor, including my Itunes library. Luckily, I had everything backed up on my time machine.
My question is how I can put back all my music into Itunes but also restore my data such as ratings, date added, and number of plays. Of course, I just want all my music back on my computer but stuff like this is what makes my library unique and personal to me. I enjoy listening to my music in order of when I downloaded them, bringing me back to specific experiences and times of my life where I enjoyed the group of songs, but I cannot do that when my Itunes has the "date added" of my songs all on the same date (the date that I'm putting my music back on).
Is there any way to take my itunes from library from my time machine and restore that back onto my itunes? (I've recently updated my Itunes too)
Please, anything helps!
Thanks!

I was also previously having problems doing a full system restore from my most recent backup.
Depending on what kind of problems, they may be damaged.
Long story short, all I want to do is restore my Itunes and just the Itunes from where and what it was like before.
Have you already set up a user account? If so, you might be able to selectively restore your iTunes library from your backups, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
But the user account you've set up may not be recognized as the same one as on your backups; you may not have permission to view, much less restore, the library.
