How to retrieve email and contacts data from time machine from a different computer

My iMac hard disc has died and though I have everything backed up on Time Machine I am finding it difficult to access my Contacts (not on iCloud) and emails from my laptop.
I understand that they are to be found on the Time Machine backup in library/applicationsupport/addressbook and /Library/Mail/V2, but these files appear to be hidden.
From my reading it has been suggested that I use the utility Terminal, but I don’t know where to start with this – any guidance would be most welcome

Retrieving calendar and contacts data from OSX Server Time Machine

Due to a system failure I went out an brought a Macbook Air. My other Mac is away being assessed by a repair shop.
By plugging in the Time Machine drive from the other Mac I have managed to recover my files, videos, photos etc. Contacts and Calendars however are proving to to more difficult.
The old Mac was setup using Mavericks Server as a workaround for the removal of Calendar and Contacts iTunes sync in Mavericks.
The Contacts and Calendars are currectly synced with an iPad and an iPhone.
Is there anyway of recovering the Contacts and Calendars data from the Time Machine backup drive, My iPad or iPhone?
Any help appreciated with this complicated problem.

It sounds as if it is the same, or closely related, to this thread Time Machine Service Page in Server App says "Error Reading Settings"

How to store ,retreive and edit data from an xml file

I am new to XML. I am creating a phone book in JSP with backend as an XML file.How can I store retrieve and edit datas from a jsp file.
Please provide me with examples.I dont want to use bean.
Please provide examples

You will have to do some leg-work yourself. You will probably want to use DOM to parse and manipulate your XML data. Xerces (xml.apache.org) is a good open source parser. There are extensive examples on their site.

HT1203 How can I access my itunes account from a different computer as I need to cancel a subscription and I am on holiday at the moment

Hello
I need to access my itunes account from a different computer as I need to cancel a subscription and I am on holiday at the moment.

If the Computor you are on has iTunes library go to tunes as if u were going to buy a song or film and you can log into your account. At the bottom of the iTunes home page you should see the user that is logged on usually a email address. Click on it to log them out and enter your own apple I'd and password. You can then update whatever you want and log back out after

How to migrate my past user data via time machine (not the latest back up)

Does anyone know how do i migrate my past data from time machine. I read the step posted on http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4413 but does it migrate the latest back up?
How can i migrate a older time stamp data?
Thanks.

If you want to restore the entire computer using a backup other than the most recent you'll need to use your computer's restore DVD (the grey one) or your commercial Leapard DVD to boot the computer. Then look under the utilities menu for Restore. Both Migrate and Setup Assistant automatically select the most recent TimeMachine backup.
Pondini's Time Machine site has everything you've always needed to know about TimeMachine but didn't know you should ask. You might want to take a look before you proceed.

How do I reinstall Lightroom and safely import library and preview data from an older computer?

Since buying a new MacBook Pro back in February 2014, I have had non-stop issues using Lightroom. This is particularly frustrating considering I bought a new laptop specifically to improve my experience with Lightroom. The experience thus far has been anything but. The program freezes every time I try and 'right click' on an item, which means I have no way of reconnecting files or folders that are on external hard drives. It also crashes regularly when I try and open the program. I believe this may have something to do with how I moved files over from one computer to another. I have a growing suspicion that my libraries are corrupt.
It's now been 6 months, and I've uploaded quite a few new folders since then. However, I am ready to give all the last 6 months work away and start with a 2013 backup to ensure Lightroom runs smoothly. I've moved all current library information onto an external hard drive, and deleted the folder from my laptop. I've also tried to delete and reinstall Lightroom, but the program immediately crashes when I try to start it up again.
All this is to say I need some serious help getting Lightroom back up and running on my laptop, pulling in old data from my other laptop properly and bringing Lightroom back up to life on my new laptop. Any assistance or hand holding would be immeasurably appreciated.

It should work. Make sure you are installing the same version. If you continue to have a problem try contacting Adobe Support thru chat:

How to retrieve version and encoding info from SAX parser

I want to have access to the version and encoding info in a parsed XML document (when using SAX2). Who knows how this works?
If not possible with SAX2, what other solutions are there?
Second question: how to retrieve comments in XML files?
Thanks in advance!

thanks for answering, but ...
LexicalHandler is fine for retrieving the comments,
but does not give me the encoding (specified by
encoding="UTF-8") and version (specified by
version="1.0").
I am feeding my parser with a byte stream, the parser
resolves the correct encoding and i want to have
access to this value!!hi , It is unlikely that you will get the encoding and version . This is being addressed by the DOM level3

Retrieving Freezed and Unfreezed data from a Single Report

Dear All,
I have a requirement where we have 2 types of users.
1. End User and 2. Super User 3. Intermediate Users
We have source system data which will be retieved on a daily basis.
Here Super user freeze the data ramdomly.
We need a report to be generated which with show
1.Freezed data to Super user
2. Unfreezed data to End User and
3. Intermediate User who needs both freezed and unfreezed data.
Can someone suggest the most optimal way to execute this requirement.
Early response will be appreciable.
Thanks,
Sai Gautam

Hi,
you could use the scheduling function of BOE for this.
For the Super Users: The Report will be scheduled after the data has been frezzed
For the End Users: They can run the Report On- Demand on any Time
For Intermediate Users: They can do both. View the Instance of the Scheduled Report and run the Report On- Demand
This could be handled by Permissions in BOE.
Regards

Can somebody tell me how to transfer iPhone/iPod backup data from my old computer to a new one?

Is it possible for me to transfer the backup data of my iPod touch and iPhone from my old computer to a new one? I don't own any Macs, only PCs. My backup data are saved on a PC (desktop) which has Windows XP SP2 as its OS and I am planning to transfer my iPod/iPhone backup data to a laptop with Windows 7 as its OS. Is it possible? If so, can someone tell me the step-by-step procedure on how to do this, including how to find the folder where my backup data is stored. I would be very much grateful. Thanks a lot for those who may be able to help me with this matter. ^_^
P.S. I am planning to use an external hard disk to transfer my backup data to the new computer.

Ah, I see. In that case your life will be much easier if you convert your library back into a portable format before you attempt to migrate it.
The normal location for the iTunes Library.itl file is the iTunes folder at <User's Music>\iTunes though it is possible that you have previously moved the library separately from moving the media folder, or you could have your media stored outside the designated iTunes Media folder.
Here are the typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
In the layout above, with the media folder (everything in the red box) inside the library folder, the library is considered to be portable. You can rearrange things to make a split library portable by taking a number of small steps which don't break the library.
Before you start any media files that are outside of the designated media folder will need to be consolidated. N.b. Your iTunes Media folder location should be on the target drive that you are going to build the portable library on. If you have the bulk of your library is stored in a folder on an external drive that is not currently designated as the iTunes Media folder then change this property (Edit > Preferences > Advanced) before consolidating.
If the library is in the old style layout then it should ideally be be upgraded to iTunes Media Organisation (Library > Organise Library > Rearrange files in the folder <Media Folder>) to ensure that iPod Games, Mobile Applications etc. are brought inside the media folder.
The basic non-fatal manipulations are:
You can connect to an alternate set of library files by holding down Shift (Win) or Option (Mac) when starting iTunes.
You can move the library files to a new location as long as the media stays put.
You can move the library files and the media together if the media folder is a direct subfolder of the library folder.
If you have already moved/copied the media content from a subfolder of the library folder to a different location then you only need to copy the library files for it to appear as if you have moved the entire library in the way allowed above. I.e. just copy the library files into the parent folder of the media folder.
You can rename the media folder to iTunes Media (if it isn't already) if the media folder is inside the library folder.
iTunes uses the name of the folder holding the library files as the window title. Having made a library "portable" you may need to take a final step of renaming the library folder to iTunes or, if the library files have ended up at the root of a drive, moving all of the library files and content folders into a new folder called iTunes.
After each change you need to open, test and close the relevant library before attempting another change. If a change broke the library, undo it or revert to using the previous set of library files.
In essence all you need to do to make your library portable is copy the library files into the parent folder of the media folder on the external/secondary drive and use the hold-down-shift/option-when-starting-iTunes method to connect to it. Other manipulations may be required to normalize the library so that the library and media folders have standard names.
