How to restore MobileSync Backup from Hard Drive to new iTunes?

I am in serious need of help!
My laptop which had Windows 7 running was crashing down after 4 years. When I brought it to the service center they took my internal drive out to save all the data before too late.
The problem is I never had the chance to backup my iTunes properly, and now that I'm usiing a new computer, how can I possibly retrieve all the old data?
The internal drive from the older computer has now been made into a hard drive. I just downloaded the same version of iTunes I was using on this new computer, but how can I possibly restore my older iTunes library. I don't care very much about the music actually, but the mobilesync backup, like messages, notes and etc.
Thnaks in advance!

  • How can i restore my backup from hard drive, it says files modified by OSX

    Hello
    Before i update my mac i backup all my files to the external hard drive after i update it to OSX (10.9)i can not restore them, due to new update i had to change my hard drive thats how i lost all my files
    please guid me how can i restore my files
    regards

    Not familiar with the Mac file structure either but you can transfer the entire content of your Firefox profile replacing entire content of a firefox profile you created on new HD. For me copying over a few files was out of the question all of the files are updated and I wasn't about to reinstall 150+ extensions and set up configurations for everything and to do that for that 20 profiles and .ini file. Except for 3 most didn't have a lot of extensions but it would be rather impossible.
    I copied everything from the Mozilla folder down in the user libraries so all my profiles were set, it did something similar for application libraries.

    how can get formatted data from hard drive?

    No chance without special tools/knowledge. There are companies that can do it, unless you use multiple format or rewrite data with special erase ustility or unless you have done low level format.

  • How to restore a backup from 32G device to 16G iphone

    I lost my iphone5 few days a go, and then I bought a new 5s. But I didn't remember which capacity I used for my iphone5. I thought it was 16, then I bought 5s in 16G. When I got home, I tried to restore my 5s with the backup from my lost phone on iTunes. However, it said to me that my phone doesn't has enough capacity for restoring. I would like to have my photos and messages back, not necessarily all the apps, so what can I do?

    You will need to select via iTunes, what you want to restore. Look under USB synching:

  • How do I get my external hard-drive recognised by iTunes?

    I have 2 external hard drives, but now iTunes 12 will only recognize 1 of them. When I plug in the second for a back-up, it doesn't show up on the screen. This just happened with the latest upgrade to iTunes 12. I have a MacBook with OS X Version 10.7.5. 

    So there is no itunes 12. You must be having this problem in the future LOL
    So you library is on the external? Make sure itunes is set to look on that drive for it, after checking to be sure the drives have different names, do into the prefs/advanced and set the location of the itunes library file/folder
    I ran itunes on an extrernal for years its always been very reliable.

  • How to restore a failed external hard drive from Time Machine?

    My external hard drive has failed. It will no longer spin up and therefore is unmountable. Thankfully I had added it to my OSX Time Machine backups. So, since disks are cheap, I can just go buy a new, probably larger external drive and restore, right? But how do I tell Time Machine that this is a replacement and to restore to the new drive?
    PS - Yes I did remove the external drive from TM's exclude list and have verified that the backup is there on TM's own external drive.

    give the new drive the same name as the old one. then you can restore anything on its backups using regular TM interface. if you want to restore the whole drive , just select the whole drive in the sidebar, scroll back in time to when the odl time was backed up and hit 'restore".

  • Iphone restore stole space from hard drive?

    I restored my iphone from a previous backup but it stopped halfway cause i ran out of space on my hard drive, i went to remove stuff but realized that the process shrunk my hard drive from 10 gb to 1 gb. I was wondering how to get my hard drive space back? I cant restore the iphone from a backup if it is somehow consistently taking up space.

    When restore from back up fails due to running out of hard drive space it does NOT clean up after itself.  You have to do this manually.
    Look in the folder Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup - here you will see folders that directly relate to your backups, all matching up with the times of your backups, and you will also see a folder or folders relating to your restore attempts, again matching up with times that you attempted your restore.  I did this last night, so I know that you are quite safe to delete the folder with the time relating to when you attempted your restore - just don't delete your actual back up.
    You are going to need the same amount of space as the back up folder that you are wanting to restore so it's worth checking how big this is and freeing up an equal amount of space before re-attempting.

  • Satellite L40: How do I recover files from Hard Drive

    Hi
    Can anyone help me please. About one week ago I started experiencing a clicking sound coming from my Satellite L40 laptop. My laptop froze and when I restarted it, I was directed to the system setup with a message at the bottom saying
    "Pri Master Hard Drive Disk SMART status bad, Backup and replace.
    Press F2 to presume."
    I have pressed F2 but I haven't a clue what to do?
    Can anyone tell me how to backup my files before my hard drive has completly gone or if it has gone can I use another device to get them off.
    I have tried to use the recovery disk but the disk is not responding??
    Please help
    Pete

    Hi
    This messages looks like an warning notification from the S.M.A.R.T.
    It does mean that your HDD will eventually fail.
    It could happen next days or it may not happen for a few months but the SMART capability has detected that the drive is going bad so it should be replaced as soon as possible.
    It looks like your notebook is not very old so the warranty should cover all replacements.
    I see only one way to access and backup the data. Possibly you could buy an external USB SATA HDD enclosure and could connect the HDD to another computer.
    Im not sure if you will be able to access the HDD due to the malfunction but if you want you could try this.
    Good luck

  • How to restore a backup from time machine in 10.6.8

    I am running 10.6.8 on my MacPro (early 2008). I have 4 internal hard drives. The main boot drive has 10.6.8 and the secondary drive with a system has Lion. I cannot completely upgrade to Lion on my main drive until all my software is compatible.
    My main boot drive started acting like it's in slow motion 2 days ago. No matter what I do (DiskWarrior, Disk Utility, zap PRAM, fix permissions) nothing seems to help. Every mouse click or movement gives me the dreaded spinnin wheel and it hangs for about 5 min and then does what it's supposed to do. I have logged into a new account w/ no special 3rd party apps or utilities and it still does the same thing. Hard drive diagnostics say my hard drive is ok. I have tried reinstalling the 10.6.8 combo update but that hangs after a few minutes of  starting. I am stymied.
    I thought about restoring a Time Machine backup from 1 day before this happened, but before I attempt a full disk backup, need to ask what to do so as not lose everything.
    I assume I must boot up from another disk or hard drive, correct? Can I simply select all the system folders and apps folder or do you think I should do a complete restore?
    Thanks.

    Could be a failing drive, could be Lion when you boot doing something
    Disconnect all other drives etc., except the 10.6.8 boot drive, lets flush everything.
    hold Shift upon booting, this is Safe mode and fixes things, reboot
    then SMC reset, PRAM reset
    https://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/26871.html
    Run all of OnyX checks, maintainance and cleaning then reboot at the end

    If you have AppleJack already installed hold command S at startup of 10.6.8 and Applejack AUTO and press enter.
    http://applejack.sourceforge.net/
    This mega cocktail will do plenty to rebuild everything and may catch your issue.
    If your still having problems I would try to isolate it, if it occurs only if your connected to the Internet, or after the machine has booted Lion etc.
    Narrow it down. It might be failing sectors on the drive, this has been known to cause beachballs as the hardware is trying to read from failing sectors, once it gets the information it should be transfering it to a new better sector and mapping off the bad one.
    You can expidite this process when you fresh install, by erasing the entire drive (or Free space only) with Zero function in Disk Utility before laying large amounts of data on the drive. (like a OS or partition)
    Good Luck

  • How to restore a backup from TM to a ssd?

    Hello folk,
    I'd like to change my HD with a 250 SSD but, before I buy it, I want to be sure that I can restore my backup, which actually is on a NAS (Network Attached Storage), to the brand new SSD.
    Is it possible? I read that I shouldn't have any problems but I want to be more than 100% sure since I don't want to waste money
    In case it's possible, how can I do that?
    Do I need to have already installed on the new hard drive the same OS version of the backup, or I could simply restore to the raw ssd?
    Thanks in advance,
    Daniele

    This additional backup you mentioned could be saved, for example, on a external USB storage?
    Moreover, in the article you linked, at the "Restore an entire system" section, it's written that I would need to use the Recovery mode.
    So, in order to answer my last question ("Do I need to have already installed on the new hard drive the same OS version of the backup, or I could simply restore to the raw ssd?"), I'd definitely say that I do need to have already installed any MacOS version on the new SSD so as to restore the entire system, right?
