Lost my calendars on my computer, how do I download them from .mac?
Hi,
I lost all my calendars from my computer and am desperate to get them back. They were published online on my .mac account. How do I download them from there back in to my iCal? And how do I prevent the online calendar from being overwritten by the empty calendar on my computer?
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Here's the way that I would get your calendars back from MobileMe:
1. Open the MobileMe System Preference pane
2. Select the Sync tab
3. Click the Advanced button (bottom right)
4. Click Reset Sync Data button
5. Select Calendars from the Replace dropdown
6. Click the left pointing arrow, ensuring that the text above reads: "On this computer with sync info from MobileMe
7. Click Replace button.
Once the sync has finished, you should have your calendars back on the mac.
Good luck!

All of my music was on a hard drive that failed. How do I download them from iTunes match to my new hard drive? I know how to do it one song at a time, but I want to know if there is a way to do it for all 10,000 song files at once?
There are some recovery programs out there if you google them - many with free trials. I haven't tried them so I have no opinion.Read any professional tech and user reviews you can find before you try one. I have read here in the past that some have worked for people who have posted here.
To help in the future, have you considered using Jump Desktop - Remote Desktop? I know it won't solve the problem you're dealing with now (unless notes were taken on your computer.) It's in the app store. It's the #1 paid app in the business category and the reviews are great. It allows you to see anything that's on your computer on your ipad. If you take your notes on your ipad then you might want to email them to yourself, put them on Word in your computer, for example, and then if you need them in class, you remotely connect your ipad to your computer and you will see your notes. This way you won't have to rely so much on the cloud. The explanation would be too long here, but you might want to take a look at it. You can use the free trial on jumpdesk.com and then if it works for you, buy it in the app store.
Meanwhile, it's hours since you sent this post. Hopefully others who can help solve your problem who are on this forum now can help you. I hope you get your notes back. Don't give up too quickly.
Hope this helps. -
how can i download photos from mac to other hard wear device
Depends on the actual device.
If it's an iOS device you can sync via iTunes.
Other devices: Export from iPhoto to the FInder and send them from there.
This User Tip

has details of the options in the Export dialogue. -
(It's fifteen minutes before class starts)
I tried to back up all of my devices before making the update to 7.0.6.
My iPad was ejected and iTunes told me that it couldn't be updated due to some error (this was yesterday). Then when I plugged it back in, it said I needed to restore my iPad, and I couldn't get to the home screen or anything, it just showed a "Connect to iTunes" icon. So it restored a really early version (with notes from last semester but not from this semester), even though I'm sure I've backed it up at least twice since I got it (1-13-14).
I got onto the Cloud and downloaded some important lecture notes before performing the update just to make sure that they would all be up to date, but those are on my computer, which I am currently not at, so I can't download them. I saw that my iPad was syncing with my Cloud, so my college notes were all showing up, and I didn't stick around to make sure that the current ones showed up (but they're on my cloud, so wouldn't they?).
Also, I use Branchfire's iAnnotate PDF, and all of my highlighted articles for research papers and summaries are gone. I'm missing important articles that had notes for two seminars, and they're all gone. I'm confident I can recover things from the cloud, but iAnnotate doesn't use the cloud. Is there a way to find those again?
What I'm curious about right now is if there's a way to download from the Cloud to my iPad, because that's where my notes are.
Does the cloud sync FROM my iPad? As in, if it isn't on my iPad will it delete documents from my Cloud? Or if it's in the Cloud, will it sync to my iPad if it's absent here?
This is really frustrating, especially because I TRIED to back everything up just to be safe. I tried everything, and I still lost all of my important files. This is beyond frustrating, it's devastating. This is unacceptable.There are some recovery programs out there if you google them - many with free trials.

The title pretty much says it all. I deleted some songs from my hard drive that had already been added to the cloud using iTunes Match, and now, when I try to play them, I'm asked to locate the files. The songs are still available on my other devices, so I didn't delete them from the cloud. How do I reconect the songs on my computer with the files in the cloud?
Apple provides a brain-dead simple way to backup all your personal data in the form of Time Machine that keeps incremental backups going back at least several weeks, if not months (depending on the size of the backup drive). Why more people don't use it is a puzzle to me. In this day and age of person, and very important, data being digitial (sometimes exclusively) backing everything up becomes imperative. Ideally a good backup scheme should incorporate multiple backup solutions in case of very serious emergencies, but for most people, and in the case described in the OP TM is a very good solution. If a file is deleted, then found to be needed again, just go to the date and time in TM just before the file was deleted and restore it. Simple. But it doesn't work if you aren't backing up. So... backup, backup, backup. You'll thank yourself that you did when you finally need it.

How can I download lion from Mac app store in recovery mode on an imac?
I bought a mid-2007 imac from a friend, who the computer was working perfectly for. When I went to start up it wouldn't start up (past the gray screen) from the regular HD no matter how many tricks I tried (resetting SMC, PRAM, etc), so I went in to recovery mode. I verified and repaired the disc more than once (even though it said it was fine), and tried to reinstall lion from the online recovery function but it said "item temporarily unavailable." I basically tried every combo of things possible before erasing the HD but nothing worked, so then I decided to erase the HD.
SO that happened, and now I can still boot up in recovery mode and it -seems- like if I can find a way to reinstall lion (which was the last os running), I may be back in business.
however, see the problem with "item temporarily unavailable."
I decided to purchase it from the Mac store online on a different device and it says it will email me a link in 1-3 business days (really??! That long to save me with an EMAIL LINK???), and my thought is that maybe I can log in to my email from the safari window and download it that way. I'm just afraid that I won't be able to access the Mac app store if that is where it downloads from.
Ultimately, I'm trying to avoid a trip to the Apple Store because this thing will be a nightmare to lug on public transportation. My questions for you are as follows:
- how likely do you think it is that I'll be able to successfully download lion from the email link in recovery mode?
- Do actual discs with lion exist anywhere in the wide world? If so, how can I get one?
- would it be worth it to grab an old lion usb stick from amazon?
- is there ANY other way to reinstall lion or install a new os on this thing without physically taking the computer anywhere?What a silly company , i have the same exact problem with my macbook pro and i've checked every topic that mention this problem and they didn't solve it .

I don't have my contacts, calendar, etc. on iCloud, how do I move them from MobileMe to iCloud?
I had a MobileMe account. Now I have iCloud. But my contacts and calendar aren't synced on iCloud, I only have 1 contact, myself. Why isn't the account moving? I went to www.me.com/move , but it takes me to find my iPhone sign in, then I can get to iCloud from there, but i can't see a way to sync or move my old mobileMe account to the new iCloud.
I think I may have it....I signed on to my old mobileme account from my pc, i have a pc, iphone, and a mac....then i see the option to move it to icloud, I hope this works lol...thanks

How can I download photos from Mac iPhoto? (Programme error)
With five discs to choose from, and advice to use discs 3-5, I wonder whether I have made a mistake in installation - disc 4 didn't work so I installed 3 and 5, which seemed to be duplicated. Has this caused the programme error?
And what exactly has Adobe PS ELements to do with iPhoto? Or are you merely mixing up the names? You did install the correct discs as listed here. If you have specific questions regarding the usage of PSE, ask on the product forum.

I am backing up all my pictures (from a long trip to Italy) to the iCloud from iPhone......I want to download the onto my iPad before I leave space on my iPhone.
How do I download them from the cloud???
You have to talk to me like If I am a second grader please. Lol!!!!Hi Susu55,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
I would suggest importing your pictures to your computer, and then sync your iPad to the computer.
The article below will show you how:

HT4759 I lost all my contacts in my iphone. How can I get them from my icloud back to my iphone?
All my contacts got deleted from my iphone 4s. How do I transfor them from icloud back to my phone?
joephilipose,
If the contacts are still in Address Book on your computer, but just not on the phone, you can tell iTunes to force replace the contacts on your phone with those from your computer. You can do this by going into the Info tab when your iPhone is connected, and checking the Contacts box under the Advanced section at the bottom of the page.
You may also want to backup your Address Book information as well. It's a good idea to make periodic backups of your contact and calendar information in case information accidentally gets deleted or changed. You can find out how to backup your Address Book data here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
To backup your iCal information, follow the steps in this article:

HT4859 I lost part of my contacts. How do I recover them
I lost part of my contacts. How do I recover them
On your Mac sync your contacts with iCloud. On your phone add Contacts to settings/icloud.
Or, if you have a version of OS X prior to Mavericks connect the phone to your computer (assuming it has the latest version of iTunes), click on its name in iTunes, click on the Info tab, and check to sync Contacts. Then click Sync. -
How can i download music from my computer to my i phone
how can i download music from my computer to my i phone?
If the music you are wanting to have on your iphone was purchased through itunes you can then go to your front display to settings>itunes and app store from there you have a toggled switch that allows you to automatically download music and apps by toggling the switch. You will need to toggle the switch below these switchs that allows for cellular data to be enabled if this has not already been enabled. This then will automatically download music and apps directly to your device with no additional charge to you.
Good luck.
