Load from Backup Disk

Just purchased a new Mac Air and I trying to load from my Backup Disk and it will not accept my Apple ID and/or Password. I know what I entered is correct, it's the same ID and Password I used to log on to this support site. Any thoughts?

You can redownload it from there. There are VERY SPECIFIC instructions to get the download to work, and then you'll need your original product key to reinstall.

Loading from Backup Disks--Unauthorized to sync music

I recently had to reformat my computer after a virus problem. I was able to backup my entire library and I can listen to everything just fine on the computer. When I tried to sync it to my library, I get the error message that it could not sync because I am not authorized to play them on this computer.
Please help!

I'm about to do the same thing - had a virus and had to reformat. BAcked up to an external hard drive and now the hard drive is not being recognized by the computer. Assuming the tech gets it working, any tips for transferring the music back to the reformatted computer? I downloaded the latest itunes and synched with my account already. But let me know if there is a trick to getting it to synch. thanks!!
btw, my ipod died the same day, and had to register a new one, or could have downloaded from my ipod, probably easier.

How to migrate Mail & Contacts from backup disk of old PPC iMac (10.3.9) to new iMac (10.8.1)?
The Firewire disk is connected and have been able to copy across document folders etc, but Migration Assistant doesn't find the disk so that method no good. Any help appreciated.

Thanks, that looks very comprehensive. Wish I'd seen it before completing Set-Up Assistant initially! Will follow his instructions and report back.

Itunes Library reinstalled from backup disk- but doesnt work without DISK

i recently cleaned up some bugs on my computer.
I also installed Avast antivirus.
I turned off the computer- a couple days later when I turned it on-my itunes library was empty.
I reinstalled the library from my backup disk
now lots of songs onthe library have exclamation points- when I click on them it says- we need to find them- then I put the disk back in and all is well.
I bought I new Ipod - 7.0 all good- and it sync-ed great- all songs on the Ipod work
ideally I would like to erase the itunes library and import everything from the Ipod so that I dont have to carry the backup disk everywhere. How do I do that? or another solution? thanks.

Sounds good. Will this work for the iPhone apps, too? When I copy the whole iTunes folder, will the recopy correctly in the new iTunes?
Yes...
*Fast backup for iTunes library (Windows Only)*
Grab SyncToy 2.0, a free tool from MS. Copy your entire iTunes library & any other media folders onto another hard drive or network share. After making your initial backup copy use SyncToy to periodically synchronise or echo your library to the backup. A preview will show which files need to be updated giving you a chance to spot unexpected changes and during the run only the changed files will be copied saving lots of time.

Uploading from backup disks, iTunes 8.2.1.6

I uploaded smoothly from 2 of my 3 backup disks: the third would stick on one particular song which was identified and iTunes would give an error message and eject the disk, not uploading anything, and leaving me at risk of losing all the contents of the disk. However, I located the offending song, and then manually highlight, one screen at a time, all the songs before and after it and moved them manually to the library. It was a little tedious, but I got 99.999% of the contents of the disk. What a relief!
Unfortunately, very little works as smoothly as advertised and it's all quite fragile: one is at constant risk of losing one's data for some reason or the other.

Thanks,
Seems the problem was the iTunes8.2.6. Why THAT came with OS10.6.8ComboUpg when my old G5 PPC OS10.5.8 had iT10.6.3. - Idunno - guess that's rhetorical now. Downloaded iT10.6.3 would not install ! Software update finally worked (?), and gave me a bunch of stuff, including iT10.6.3. Short-story-long, Radio's all there, by 5am I was so freekin happy. What I learned from the days of SCSI - Never quit bangin on the thing.
ps: How'd you guys know I had a CAT?

Remove disk from backup disks in Time Machine, old backups no longer accessible

I accidentally removed a disk from my backup disks in Time Machine. It said it wouldn't delete any backups, but after reconnecting it, I cannot access any previous backups through the Time Machine interface and it says "Latest Backup: None". The data is still visible on the drive.
What can I do? I really need these backups.

How to install OS X from backup disk image?

I created a disk image of my OS X Leopard disk as a backup, but later discovered that I could not boot from the mounted disk image, nor could I use it to burn a new bootable OS X disk. What did I do wrong?

Welcome To  Discussions alansky1!
Did you use the procedure posted below to create the Disk Image of the Leopard 10.5.x install disc?
Insert the DVD that you wish to copy.
Open Disk Utility, from the Utilities folder.
From the list on the left side of the window select the original DVD that you wish to copy.
From the DU contextual File menu select New: Disk Image from Disk....
Name the disk image and choose Image Format: DVD/CD Master.
Save to the Desktop.
When the Disk Image is finished, you can eject the original DVD.
Back in Disk Utility, from the list on the left side of the window select the new Disk Image. This may be a .cdr or a .dmg.
From the Images contextual menu, select Burn.
Insert a new blank DVD and click Burn.

How Do I Solve this Problem when Copying Library from Backup Disks?

I recently had a pc problem that resulted in the repair company having to back up my hard drive (which included my I Tunes Library) onto DVDs.
When trying to upload the ITunes library from the DVD to my new computer (after downloading I Tunes software), about half of my library uploaded fine.
The other half is indicated in my new I Tunes library, but when I click on it it says that such songs "could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
When I attempt to locate it, I cannot find it on the disk. But it must be there, I am guessing, because it loaded, albeit in the inaccessible form, into the new I Tunes library?
When I open the disk in my D drive, I cannot find the songs that will not open; it appears that the people who backed it up, only made it through the "Ds". But again, that is inconsistent with the fact that the inaccessible songs' titles were uploaded to the new I Tunes library.
I am totally stumped. Is there any way to fix this? I am faced with losing half my library.

CAn anyone tell me how to get out of this iphone recovery? thanks!!

Importing mail from backup disk

Hi
My G5 iMac running 10.4.11 has packed in beyond repair, so am getting a new iMac with Snow Leopard installed. Fortunately I was able to do a complete backup before my iMac completely stopped working.
How should I transfer all my email / folders / account settings to my new iMac?
Phil

Hi Phil:
I did restore (actually migrate using the SD clone) from a G4 to an Intel-based iMac. If you restore the whole clone, you will restore to OS X 10.4 (not what you want, I assume).
As I recall, I cloned my G4 using SD to an external drive. Then I fired up the new iMac (it had OS X 10.5 at that time), hooked the external HD to it, and used migration assistant. Migration assistant gave me the option to "point" at the clone. In my case, everything worked very well!

Putting iMovie events back on the computer from backup disk

I moved some events to an external disk, and now I want to bring them back to my computer since I will be working with the video and dont want to leave my backup drive down here in the office (I store it in a fire proof safe).
HOw do I do this, I see the folders when the external drive is connected, and there is certainly metadata it's reading since all the years and months and stuff is there. So now I want it persisted locally.
As well, is there a way to see all the stuff that's on an external drive as well when it isn't connected, it let's me keep a better handle on what I have without having to power up the drive all the time. of course if I ever clicked on it and it was stored external, it would tell me so.
Thanks.

Can I do it for free? Is there anyway? I really need these back on and I dont have the money to spend it on that...sorry....any other ways?

Itunes locks at same spot when restoring from backup disk

Restoring from itunes library a movie, but halfway thru it locks up, tried making more hard drive space, rebooting, but each time it locks at the same spot while trying to restore this movie. The Disk is not scratched and was just made last night, other items on disk have been restored to library.
Movie was backed up from mac library and trying to restore it to windows itunes library (same itunes account), and successfully did this with another movie on same disk.
This movie is 2 1/2 hours, the first was 90 minutes.

Getting the same problem here..
“The iPhone “iPhone” could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (-1).”
I have not jailbroken the iPhone, i only have dozen or so apps, synced it every other day. tried the DUF mode before connecting it to the pc.
also, i tried downgrading back and restoring with the following ipsw packages: IOS 4.3.2, 4.3.4, 4.3.5 and 5.
different error code appears with each ipsw. that didn't work either!
in the last attampt it got through the whole progress bar (so it might now be a problem with the firmware), but then it err and gave me the same massage.
I thought those things only happens to Blackberry

Copy network from backup disk to internal drive 10.5.8

I have a Powertbook G4 1.25 aluminum firewire laptop I've used for years. Somehow,(I'm using Leopard 10.5.8 ,) my network files have gotten corrupted.
I can not connect to the internet at all any more. I know that my hardware is fine, as I can boot into a Tiger partition and connect just fine.
1) I really don't want to re-install my OS and start all over with drag and drop
2) I have an older backup that works fine, burt have hundreds of new files and programs since then.
3) What files specifically do I need to copy fropm the working backup to my current internal drive to get my internet up and working again?
4) Or other suggestions??
Thanks !
