How do I restore a folder deleted from my dock with TM

Being a new Mac person, I made a critical error. I dragged a folder with all my doc's in it onto the "The dock". The folder still remained on the screen under my Macintosh HD icon. I opened files from both folders so I deleted the one from my home screen. I kept using the folder from my dock without a problem. I decided to empty my trash and had to use the "option" button since it was saying the files were locked (should have taken that as a hint). When it finally deleted it, it deleted my folder from my dock, so now all i have is a "?" with the folder name. I searched and searched in TM for the folder and cannot find it. All I want to do is restore my computer to an earlier time so I can taee that folder out of the garbage. Can I do that? And do I have to reboot the computer with the boot disk in and tell it to restore from TM?

It should be on your backup. Look in "Documents" folder in TM screen You should not have to reboot or use your disk. You should not have to remove anything from Trash. Choose the file in TM and them "restore" by clicking on the "restore" button.
EDIT: All items in your Dock are aliases, so you trahsed the original which generated the "?" because it lost it's link.

How do i restore notes i deleted from iphone5?

how do i restore notes i deleted from iphone5?

Last week, I had serious yahoo mail issues. I'd forgotten that I'd deleted yahoo mail and added it again. Thus turning off notes in the mail settings (notes was not enabled on email). This will save you from buying expensive recovery software that you may only use one time. It will also save you from a long system retore on my iphone which may have cause you to lose unsaved data. This is the easiet way to get your deleted notes compared to the alternatives.
Deleted, lost notes on iphone 5
On your iPhone:
1) Settings
2) Mail, Contacts, Calendars
3) Gmail>turn Notes On
4) Then to All of my other email accounts and checked the notes were on. I.e, iCloud, Yahoo, etc.

Hi Badri,
1.You could not restore site deleted from SharePoint designer in site collection, you can only restore the site deleted from
UI in site collection recycle bin, deleted from end user recycle bin.
2.You can export the site from production server, then import it to test server.

I hope that you aren't complaining about dropped calls INSIDE your condo because no amount of switching or upgrading devices will solve that.
VZW will not guarantee service inside of any structure. There are just too many factors. If the problem is inside then you might want to look at one of the following:
1.) Network Extender (may cause issues for others in a condo or apartment style setting)
2.) A Google Voice Number (Free with a Gmail email address), downloading Google Hangouts Dialer and forwarding your calls to the GVN so that you can make and receive calls over Wi-Fi.

How do I restore an iPhoto library from Time Capsule

My iMac was stolen. I have a MacBook Air running Yosemite version 10.10.2. The iPhoto Library was not on the MacBook. How do I restore my iPhoto Library from a Time Machine backup on my Time Capsule onto my MacBook? I am using iPhoto version 9.6.1.
Two complications:
1. I have several hundred photos from a different iPhoto library on my MacBook.
2. I think the iPhoto library that is hopefully on my Time Capsule is too big to fit on my MacBook. I have 50 GB free space remaining on a 256 GB SSD.
Thank you.

If the library to be restored is too big for your boot drive you'll need to get an external HD, formatted OS X Extended (journaled) with ownership set to be ignored, and restore the iPhoto Library to it according to the instructions in the following screenshot:
With the restored library up and running you can use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to merge the Macbook library into the restored library on the EHD. A possible candidate for the EHD is the OWC Mercury On-The-Go Pro USB 3.0 / FireWire 800. It lends itself nicely for portable use.
Once you are satisfied that the merge was successful you can delete the Macbook library from the Pictures folder.

How can I restore a single image from an aperture time machine backup, do I have to restore the entire library? that does not make sense

I hope there has been found a more efficiant solution for this, how can I restore a single image from an aperture time machine backup, I really hope I don't have to restore the entire library? that does not make sense
any suggestions?

Did you try browsing your backups in the Finder ? That is, do not go and "Enter Time Machine". Instead, navigate to your Time Machine backup via Finder and then manually go to the time period (by folder name) you are looking for ... when you find your Aperture library you can then "Show Package Contents" and find the Master you are looking for.

How can iTune-synched photos be deleted from iOS devices if the iTunes computer is no longer available?

How can iTunes-synched photos be deleted from iOS devices if the iTunes computer is no longer available?
This can happen because the iOS device is on travels distant from the iTunes computer, because the iTunes computer is on travels distant from the iOS device, because the iTunes computer has failed permanently, because the iTunes computer has been stolen, etc.

KRDHarris-
The only possibility I can think of, is to consult with an Apple Store Genius. See if there is some kind of Apple proprietary software or diagnostic tool that can do it.
I do not think you want to, but you could go to Settings-General-Reset-Erase All Content and Settings. If you decided to do that, you might be able to restore from a previous backup when you get home.

How can I restore a folder in SM35 - Very Urgent

Hi All,
How can I restore a folder in SM35 ?, because I created a folder in transaction AFAB and this transaction just process in background (under folder - SM35) and then I deleted this folder wrongly.... I tryed to execute again the transaction AFAB but it didn´t work, it means no folder was created...., the mesage is AA729.....
Thanks....
Edited by: Sandra Mota on Mar 7, 2008 8:26 PM

Hi,
Once you delete the session in SM35, it is not possibel to restore it back.
Check if you have also deleted the logs? Logs can exists after deleting the Session, provide you have not deleted the logs too.
It is not possible to create one more session using AFAB.
still if you want to do it, then in the selection screen at least change one of the parameter (Company code, Fiscal year, Posting period).
IF you still do not want to change the above input parameters, then there is another option, i.e. create a new assest and then run the AFAB with the radio button in REPEAT RUN.
Hope this is clear

How do I restore smtp mail setting from time machine?

Earlier today I was fooling around with my smtp mail settings and managed to mess them up.
How do I restore smtp mail setting from time machine?
I'm using Lion 10.7.4
Messages and incoming mail works fine. It's just the smtp mail setting that's the problem.
Any help greatly appreciated.

The mail rules are stored in your ~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~mail/Data.MailData folder, in a plist called SyncedRules.plist.
If you're signed into iCloud D&D, that's where you'll find it.
If you're *not* signed into iCloud, then you probably have a folder called something like ~/Library/Mobile Documents.####### where the # signs are actual numbers. Digging into that folder, you'll fild the SyncedRules.plist file.
Thing is, I don't know how Mail uses rules without iCloud; if there's a "local" rules location. There probably is, but someone else who's not using iCloud may have to help you there...

How do I restore my Ipad 4 from my desktop computer? My charger was broken. I bought a new one but now it won't charge. I have a BATTERY bar in the middle of the screen that is flashing RED and I have a symbol on the bottom that looks like a charger.

How do I restore my Ipad 4 from my desktop computer? My charger was damaged so I bought a new one but it won't charge. On my Ipad, I have a BATTERY bar in the middle that is flashing RED and an icon on the bottom that looks like the end of a charger. I have tried to force into reset mode, by holding the sleep key and home button SEVERAL times but it does NOT work. I have plugged my Ipad into my desktop computer, but I do not have a screen on my desktop that is coming up. THIS HAPPENED BEFORE AFTER I DID AN UPDATE AND WAS LOCKED OUT AND I USED EITHER ICLOUD OR ITUNES TO RESTORE, NOT SURE WHICH AND I FORGOT HOW.

Hi MrsMoosie,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPad. If your iPad isn't responding or doesn't appear to be charging, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful, in particular the following portion:
If you don't see the charging screen within an hour, or you see the connect to power screen, check your connector, USB cable, and power adapter. Make sure that everything is plugged in firmly, free of debris, and not damaged. You might want to try a different USB cable or power adapter.

I did a back up from my iPhone 4 on iTunes but I don't seem to be able to restore on my new 5c

Restoring from an older iOS to a newer iOS version is fine. It's going the other way that would be a problem.
You do need a late version of iTunes on your computer to be able to work with the new iPhone. The current iTunes version is 11.1.3. If your iTunes is old, download the latest from
