How to Restore notes from Backup?

Hi!
Yesterday I've upgraded my mac from 10.7.1 to .2.
Before upgrade I had all my notes in mail (synced in MobileMe) but after fisrt 10.7.2 reboot all my notes where deleted (on Me server too).
"Amen, I'll restore them tomorrow from Time Machine" I tought, but there was a surprise! If I go in Time Machine and I copy two .mbox archives of notes (one on Mac and one on MobileMe) in library folder, when I restart mail, program doesn't see them!!
How can I restore all my notes without restoring from time machine?
Thank you!!!!

How to restore "notes" from icloud backup

I was trying to clear data from my old computer (to give to my little sister), and I accidentally deleted all my "notes" from the "mail" program (not just from that computre, but even on the icloud apparently)!
Is there anyway to restore the notes back to my phone & new computer from my last icloud back up?

How to restore iPhone from backup, not working right

Hello, today I updated my iPhone to the latest version (6.1.2?) and after it was finished, or not finished, it came up on my PC saying it could not be updated and had to be restored for some reason. So, I restored it, knowing my phone backs up everytime I sync it. It last restored at 4 o clock today, before I updated it. So, I went to restore from backup, it started, ran for about a minute, then popped up saying it could not be restored from backup because the backup could not be found on my computer. I see the backup very clearly on my iTunes, it's there. Now it shows up like a new iPhone and it's wiped out. I had very important documents on my notes, plus text messages I needed, and this isn't working. I'm livid about this, please help.

hi can you help me please????

How to restore notes from the iPad 2

how can i restore notes in the notes app on the ipad 2

The only possibility of restoring your notes would be to restore from a backup that contains those notes. If you have a recent backup, you could try that. Bear in mind, when you restore from a backup - you restore to the exact condition that the iPad was in on the day that the iPad 's backup was created. So if you have more recent data in another app that you need to keep, make sure that you transfer that data or those files to your hard drive before you restore from the backup otherwise those files will be lost.
This explains how to restore from a backup.

How to restore iphone from backup?

I recently updated to 4.1 but lost all my contacts... how can I restore them from my itunes backup? thanks

Maybe, unless there is a problem with your iPhone's backup and it sounds like there is a problem with it or you wouldn't have lost any contacts.
Although contacts are included with your iPhone's backup, contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book application on your computer and should be available on your computer with or without an iPhone or any cell phone. Not a good idea to depend on your cell phone alone for this data, which can be lost or stolen.
To restore your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup, select Restore under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. When prompted to update your iPhone's backup, as the first step after selecting Restore, decline this prompt.
Go to iTunes > Preferences. Under the Devices tab, how many backups are shown? If more than one, what is the date and time shown for each backup? If there is more than one backup, you may not want to select the current backup - select a previous backup when restoring your iPhone with iTunes. After the firmware is re-installed, you will be prompted to restore from the backup, which is the default selection. If there is more than one backup available, the most recent backup will be selected by default. If more than one backup is available, you can select from another or previous backup.

How to restore library from backup on external hard drive

I am helping my wife move her library to a new computer after the old one crashed. I backed up my wife's music library to an external hard drive by simply copying and pasting all the files in her My Music >> iTunes folder into the external hard drive. When she got a new laptop, I tried placing those same files from the external hard drive into the My Music >> iTunes folder on the new computer (overwriting the few default files that were there), but that didn't seem to work. iTunes does not acknowledge that any songs have been added. I also noticed that almost all of the files say "(protected)", although I'm not sure if that is having an impact on the failure.
Additional information: some of the songs are iTunes purchases and some are from CDs we imported. Because restoring involves more than just iTunes purchases, I can't simply plugin her iPod to the new laptop and use the import purchases feature.
Finally, I see a great deal of information in customer support about restoring from a CD or DVD, but not from an external hard drive, although an external hard drive is mentioned as one way to backup iTunes music, so I believe there must be a valid way. Any literature on that would be helpful as well.
Thank you.

EmmanIsaac,
Do you just want a new drive that can be read by Macs and PCs? I would suggest taking a look at MacMall and shopping for, at least, a 1TB drive (they're cheap these days) and, when you get it, format it as FAT32 on a PC. Then you'll be able (with some limitations) to share the drive on both platforms.
For the limitations on using FAT32, see here.
Good luck,
Clinton

How to Restore Files From Backup HD/Time Machine

I want to restore data from external HD, which backed up with Time Machine, onto new internal HD. If I restore from date prior to 10.6.1 upgrade (which resulted in HD failure) will I be restoring from 10.5? Do I install Leopard on new HD first? Both internal and external HDs corrupted by upgrade but professional diagnostics indicate data on external HD can be accessed.

Could you explain a little more about what you meant by this? The update to 10.6.1 should not corrupt an otherwise OK HD. It is probably worth the effort to try to figure out what caused this in case it is something that would continue to affect the HD's after the restore.

HT4847 How to restore "Notes" from iCloud

How do you restore only "Notes" to iphone or ipad from backed up iCloud?

Backups will be at one of the following locations:
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista/7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Mac OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
But you won't be able to read the files as it is a SQLite database, readable only with 3rd party software with ability to extract data from the backup (such as iPhone Backup Extractor).

Reinstalled Windows - how to restore iTunes from backup?

OK, here's the short succinct and none-waffley version of my question:
Under OSX there's a whopping big (xml?) file stored in the iTunes Library folder, but where is that on Windows? I've read about a Library.itl file, is that the same thing? If so, where on earth is it please?!?
And now for those who don't mind reading a bit, I'd like to explain my problem (a blank looking iTunes library after reinstalling Windows / iTunes) in a bit more detail. A lot of hard work and many listening hours went into crafting those smart playlists and I'd rather like to get them back if that's at all possible?
Here's what I've got to go on:
- the "iTunes music folder" is on a disk partition that remained untouched during the reinstallion process, so all my music's still there (else I wouldn't be quite so relaxed about it!!!)
- my "My Documents" folder is also on another untouched partion, but I don't think iTunes saves anything there does it?
- before reinstalling Windows I backued up my "Documents and Settings" folder from C drive. I assumed everything I'd need for restoring iTunes would be stored in the "Application Data" subfolder (or whatever Windows calls this in english - it's Anwendungsdaten in german)
So after reinstalling iTunes and before starting it for the first time, I copied my backup of "Docs & Settings/Rich in Berlin/Anwendungsdaten/Apple Computer/iTunes" to the corresponding place on C drive (and also the same named folder from "Local Settings"). Then I started iTunes, remembered that this is a PC not a Mac and saw an empty library window. Which brought me here.
As I wrote at the beginning, I suspect Library.itl has something to do with it. Can anybody confirm this and/or tell me where to find it, please?
Cheers

iTunes operates as a database of information for your music files. The actual music files are stored on your PC, not within iTunes. iTunes keeps absolute references of the music file location and other information in its database file. This allows iTunes to use music files from any location on the PC: different directories/folders on the main HD, another internal drive, an external drive, or a network drive (or any combination of the above). Each song reference has a specific and hardcoded path so iTunes can find and play (or sync) it. Move the file, change the path, re-map the drive it is on, and iTunes will lose the file (giving you the '!' of a ‘Broken Link’). Lose, move or corrupt the ‘iTunes Music.itl’ file and your complete Library will ‘vanish’.
If you delete, corrupt, or otherwise lose your ‘iTunes Library.itl’ file, you will end up with a ‘blank’ Library within iTunes. Nine time out of ten, your underlying music files are still on the PC. They can be ‘re-Added’ via the File==>Add Folder/File menu command, but you will lose some of the music meta-data. Recovering your Library via backup copies of the iTunes database file, or from importing the XML file is always preferable.
The iTunes music information (meta-data) is stored in two places: the actual individual song files themselves, and the iTunes Library database file (‘iTunes Library.itl’). There is a corresponding XML file that is created by iTunes, but not directly used. See: What are the iTunes Library files?.
Song attributes stored directly in each music file are as follows: Artist, Album, Song Title, Year, Comments, Compilation tag, Lyrics, Genre , Grouping, Composer, BPM, Album Artwork, Bit Rate & Kind (Both not tags - inherent to the file itself).
Song attributes stored in the iTunes Library database file only are: Playlists, Ratings, Play Count, Last Played, Date Added, Date Modified, Equalizer, Volume Adjustment.
While it appears that all of the music attributes (except for Album Art) are also written to the XML file, when ‘Importing’ the XML file back into iTunes, it will not capture the Ratings, Play Count, Last Played, and Date Added attributes. The XML file can be somewhat useful, but it is usually better to have legacy copies of the ITL file for restoring your complete Library.

How to restore contacts from backup?

My husband's contacts on his iPhone 4S somehow magically got deleted - so he claims. If I plug his iPhone into my Mac how do i restore his contacts?

I managed to work around this. Not sure exactly what I did differently, but somehow I got Address Book to display separate "iCloud" and "On My Mac" lists, and then I could drag and drop groups from "On My Mac" to "iCloud". Left a lot of duplicates, again, but the "Look for Duplicates" menu command cleaned them up.

Yes, I was aware of this but the phrase "Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library." is what worries me. Will this eliminate my Notes, Calendar Events, etc or will it apply mostly just to the music?
