If the folder was replaced, it was written over.
Nothing short of forensic data recovery (probably involving taking the drive apart to scan the discs seperately) is going to recover anything (if indeed even that will).

you can use use Migration Assistant to migrate your settings and data from the TM backup of the macbook to the new imac. you'll also have an option to do it during the initial computer setup.
This is a one time operation. You can not use Time Machine to keep computers synced after that. each computer has its own TM backup and they don't interact with each other.

sorry, I don't understand what you are asking. please rephrase.

HT201272 Need to sync apps from my friends iphone to my ipad using itunes. How can be that done?Please advise.

Need to sync apps from my friends iphone to my ipad using itunes. How can be that done?Please advise.

Well first you need to sync your iPhone 4 with your Mac/PC so that it will transfer all your music, apps, podcasts, etc. Then sync your iPod Touch and the media you selected during the sync should be there on your iPhone. If you have difficulty in transferring media from iPhone to your computer, try softwares like TransCopy. They will help in transferring data from your iphone to your computer. Dont forget to check that all the transferred data is in the iTunes media folder so that the iTunes can locate the files. Link to Transcopy software :

Thanks Andy,
I wish I could have told my sister about this as she could not open my homepage back before my new iWeb site. She now can open my site without the yet in case denial window does appear = I thank you.
I think my iWeb site works as Noone has said otherwise from any platform etc...

I do agree that should not have to be a consideration for any users so i agree that it would be great if Apple could allow simplicity to run seemlessly.
I have had this problem since Homepage, and here is
what has worked for me. I send out the link, and
then for PC users I send the link with "<" after the address (without quotation
marks. e.g., <http://site.com>).
I also put a note that if that doesn't work, to just
copy and paste the link into a browser. With that I
have only had 1 person say they still can't open.
Everyone else gets it to work.
It's a lot to do and seems like a hassle, but you get
used to it.
Hope this helps!
Andy Martini
PS - APPLE! When are you going to fix this??! It
seems like such a small thing yet you guys have been
stumped for YEARS on this!

I have just lost all my contacts from my Mac and my I Phone. Don't know how. Can I get them back? Not using Time Machine

I have just lost all my contacts from my Mac and my I Phone. Don't know how. Can I get them back? Not using Time Machine

If you have no backups, and data has been lost, then it's lost forever. The rest of your data will inevitably follow if you don't back up.

HT201250 My Airbook can't find my hidden network, and I can't configure it manually, so that I can use time machine. Can anyone help?

I have a Mac Airbook and was using Time machine to back up files. I hid my network SSID and put a password on it. I can find it to connect to the web but not to connect to the Time Machine, and the software will not allow me to manually configure it. So now I cannot use the Time Machine to back anything up? Can anyone help me? Thank you.

Hidden networks are not hidden to sniffing software, thus are not invisible to hackers.
It's only used to prevent confusion or in high traffic locations where a lot of machines are connecting.
When your Mac wakes from sleep or reboots, it might not automatically reconnect to a hidden network as it has to broadcast the information blindly. Hackers can sniff this and then know you have a hidden network at home, so the Mac won't keep asking if the network is there.
Turn off hidden network on your router and use WPA2(AES) with a strong random 20+ character, letter, number, symbol password that makes no sense what so ever.
Like
4kn4vTR®ƒ¥¨ô;øPgk'e4ﬂ‡°·‚·¸º·Ó¨˜¨mwy5 go59=.º“,
Very hard to crack that admin password.
For guest internet access set a easier one, but still long and enterable into all your devices.
If someone has it then you can rotate it for a new one.
Never keep the admin router password in any machine or computer, keep it on paper in a safe place.

HT201250 I want to add another external hard drive to be backed up by time machine how can I do this?

I recently had an external hard drive die on me. It had all my work files on it, so it was really important to me. When I went to retrieve the lost files from time machine, it didn't appear to have backed up anything from that external drive (and before anyone asks it's a different external drive to where my time machine files are backed up onto). I sent my old hard drive away to a data recovery company, and luckily they were able to retrieve all the data. Now I want to check that my new external hard drive does get backed up this time, but I can't seem to find out how to include this in the back up as it doesn't appear to be doing this automatically! Any ideas on how? Many thanks

Check System Preferences/Time Machine/Options to make sure the external drive isn't excluded.

Was able to transfer itunes music from an external drive to a computer, but cannot listen to it without external drive being connected. There are "!" next to the transferred music.

Was able to transfer itunes music from external drive to computer, but they won't play. There are "!" marks next to all transferred songs and a message reads "Unable to locate songs". How do i get the transferred songs to play without having the external drive connected.

Select a single song with a broken link, press CTRL+I to Get Info, cancel when asked to locate the track and take a look at the Summary tab. Post back where iTunes is looking for the file. It begins file://localhost
Where is it really?
Please post back both paths so that I can make suggestions. Full paths please, exact spellings, you can replace your user name with <User> if needed.

HT201210 i lost data messages / photos and other saved data worth 2 months cause there was some problem when i was updating ios7 how can i recover that?

i lost data worth 2 months when i was updating the ios7 software on my iphone 5 .....
unfortunatley i forgot to perform a backup in that time span as well....
is there a way of recovering txt msgs photos and other saved data from a particular span? without backups?

Without a backup there is no way to recover data.
Seems you've learned a valuable lesson about how important it is do regularly backup the device.

HT1212 I did the 10s7 update and now I recieve all my text back after I send them and My wifes text she recieves goes to my phone.When updating it said my phone was now using her appleid how can we change that

I did an update to the 1os7 and now I recieve my wifes text that she reiceves and the text I send out comes right back to me as the recipent..How do I fix this.When updating it said I was using my wifes apple ID

Thanks too all the people who responded. . . . (noone)
Got it sorted though. Seems that Apple has issues with multiple apple id's.
Seems i had to somehow remember and use the original id i had when i first bought my 1st iPhone. . . .
Even after that it was extremely hard to get my apps back on my PC.
If anyone else has the same problem. . . .email Apple. Cya.

When I save a download, the SAVE TO window is no longer alphabetical (ever since last update). Now the window shows files/folders in Last-Used order. How can I change that preference??

When prompted if I want to open or save a download, I choose SAVE and the usual window opens where I can choose a folder to save the download. After the last Firefox update, that SAVE window now displays all folders NOT in alphabetical order, but in Least Used to Most Recently Used order. Why??

Hi Brett555,
We wonder if there is any luck your issue has been resolved, if you've found solution by yourself. We would appreciate it if you could share with us and we will mark it as answer.
I am supposing you have this issue when you try to save files every time not just in office. Since It is possibly that this issue caused by certain software installation, as arnavsharma mentioned that please check your issue under safe mode.
If this issue persists, try creating a new user account and check if the issue persists there.
If it works in a new user account then you need to fix the corrupt user profile. You may visit this link for the steps:

If this issue happened recently, please check any action you took or restore your system to earlier point.

After a crash with Win XP Professional, I am missing all the important Profile files. How can I recover passwords and history if the key3.db and places.sqlite files are not shown in the profile folder?

I only have a large urlclassifier3.sqlite file in the old default profile folder. Help!

Sounds like boot sector corruption to me! I suggest you download Testdisk a product of CG Security. Use the latest version that is NOT beta. Boot the computer to a bootable CD such as Hiren's Boot CD. Run the DOS version. Do NOT write anything to the hard disk, such as a log! Do a deep search for lost partitions. When given the opportunity, look at files and folders. Finally, do a rebuild of the boot sector, and compare that to the current boot sector and backup sector. The write a verified version of the boot sector back to the hard disk. Note: Testdisk 6.11.3, under DOS, will show DELETED FILES IN RED. You can then OFFLOAD them to another drive or USB stick. Good luck.
