How do you restore a new hard drive from a g drive

I recently had to replace the hard drive on my MacBook...and am now trying to restore my files from my terabyte G-Drive.  Originally, I had to connect my Time Machine with my G-Drive, but not sure how to do that now.  If you have any experience doing this or can give me the steps that would be great!!  Thanks in advance.

This did't help...but I have already restored it...I perservered on my own and found that the procedure was straightforward on the "Finder>Help" pages.  I just searched for "Restore my entire system and that's what came up.
Make sure you are connected to your external drive.  Then, turn the computer off and then after you turn it back on at the gray window, hold down the Command and R keys, until the options come up and then select "Restore from a Time Machine Backup", then click Continue.  That's all I needed to do....everything was restored to the last time I backed up on my G Drive with Time Machine
Now I just have to go back and get all the software updates since my last backup...

  • How do I restore a new Hard drive from Super Duper clone ?

    The Hard Drive in my 2010 iMac died and was replaced with a new one. Thankfully I have a clone made with Super Duper of the old drive. Do I just clone back on to the new internal drive ? The new drive, installed by Apple has OS10.6.8 installed on it now (by Apple ), which is the OS on the clone. Do I need to completely wipe the drive before restoring with my clone ? All that's on the new drive is the OS. Don't want to make any mistakes here.....

    1. Boot from your install DVD or Bootable Clone and open Disk Utility.
    2. Highlight the new HD in the list of drives and select the Partition tab.
    3. Under Volume Scheme select 1 Partition and click on the Options... button.
    4. Select GUID Partition Table in the drop down window and click OK.
    5. Set the Format to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and click the Apply button.
    6. Once thats done then you can do a clean Install, restore from TM or the Bootable Clone.

  • How do you restore a 'new phone' from your previous phone iCloud?

    I got a new iPhone 5 today after smashing the screen on my old one. I needed to use it straight away and wasn't connected to a wifi so i wasn't able to restore using iCloud, I set it up as a 'new phone'. How do I restore it now from my previous phone backup?
    Thanks

    Restoring to an iCloud backup has to be done in the initial setup process.  If you have any data on your phone now that is not in the backup that you want to save you'll need to do that first.  Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  You will then go through the setup screens as you did when the phone was new. When given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below).  Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

  • Can you restore a new iPad 3 from an iPad running iOS 5.0.1?

    I'm going to help someone move his data from an original iPad to a new 3rd generation iPad. The old one is running iOS 5.0.1, and he is without fast Internet access so no software update is possible to get that iPad onto 5.1.
    Does anyone know if the new 3rd gen iPad will restore from a 5.0.1 backup, and be apple to work with no problems?
    We won't be able to get to a wifi connection to update the OS for some time.

    Yes - it is not a problem. Tell your friend to back up the old iPad and sync with iTunes one last time before restoring the new iPad from the backup.
    When he connects the new iPad to iTunes - he should be given the opportunity by iTunes to restore from that backup. Say yes to that and then sync with iTunes as well.
    You don't need to use iCloud. I didn't when I set my new iPad up.

  • How do you autorun a Flash Projector (Windows) from a USB drive?

    I got a Windows Flash Projector (.exe) that I need to autorun from a USB drive. I just want the user to be able to plug in the USB drive to their machine and have it start running without any menus. I've been using the following with no luck:
    [autorun]
    open=KSF_USB_main.exe
    The project is composed of a number of .swf files that load into the "KSF_USB_main.swf" file. There are also PDF and FLV links within some of the movies.
    I have the "autorun.inf" file and all other files (including the .exe Projector file) on the USB drive. When I plug it in to a PC it brings up the "What Do You Want To Do?" window and doesn't autorun.
    I've tried some 3rd party software that creates a menu file with no luck.
    Any suggestions?

  • How do you restore accidentally deleted e-mail from a back-up?

    I accidentally deleted some important e-mails.  I have an external hard drive with backups, but I'm not sure how to go about it nor where they go.  I'm using Entourage on a desktop Mac with OS 6.8.  Does anyone have any ideas?

    If the mail account is a IMAP or Exchange account that is how it works. Those accounts synchronize mail on all devices.
    If the mail account is a POP3 account the go to Settings>Mail>the mail account>Advanced>Deleted Messages>Remove and set to never.

  • Can, and how do you restore from ipod back to recently replaced hard drive on a pc not mac?

    can, and how do you restore music from ipod back to recently repaced harddrive on a pc not mac?

    Note: The information below hasn't been updated since early 2013.
    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • Can I restore a new hard drive from a previous time machine back-up?

    Hi there,
    My MacBook Pro 13 inch is 4 years old.
    The computer began to freeze/stop working, so I took it to an Apple care centre and they informed that my hard drive has crashed and has to be replaced.
    Luckily, I backed up my old hard drive a few days before with an external hard drive using Time Machine. My question is: can I restore this new hard drive with my old time machine backup that is on my external hard drive? If so, how do I do this?
    Thanks

    Of course! If you couldn't, Time Machine would be rather worthless, now wouldn't it?

    To transfer your current hard drive I like the free application SuperDuper. It makes a bootable copy of everything on your hard drive http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html  You'll need a cheap SATA external hard drive case. Put the new drive in the case then format and partition the new drive and clone your old drive to the new one. Check that it's set up right by booting up from the external drive. Then replace your old hard drive with the new one and put your old one in the external case.
