MacBook Pro died, can I restore back up from previous OS to New Macbook Pro with Mavericks on it?
My son's (grad student) MacBook Pro's logic board went out two weeks ago. We have a new one coming tommorrow, which has Mavericks.
His back up from the older computer has the previous operating system - is he going to run into any problems restoring his data with the different operating systems?

You shouldn't. That's the reason for having a backup.
The best way is to use Setup Assistant when you get the new Mac. For details read this from the late Apple Support Communities contributor Pondini:
19. I got a new Mac, or a new or erased internal HD -- now what?

HOW CAN I MAKE BACK UP FROM MY IMAC TO MY MACBOOK?
HOW CAN I MAKE BACK UP FROM MY IMAC TO MY MACBOOK?
A couple of things, first could you re-phrase your question? It reads like you want to backup your iMac to your MacBook, if so I'd strongly recommend against even trying to do this. I woudl recommend getting an external HD or better even 2 and creating a Time Machine Backup and on a second HD create a bootable clone.
The next thing please do not type in all caps, this is like shouting....we can "hear" you just fine without the shouting. -
Can't restore back up from iCloud . Any solution please ?
Replaced my iPhone 5 yesterday but it does not restore my back up data to the new phone . Sadly I did not backed up on iTunes . contacted Apple and they are looking this issue but Not sure when will I get reply . Any suggestion please
As the second link indicates, this can occur:
If you are using Advanced Format Disks that are physically formatted with 4,096 bytes, but expose a logical sector size of 512 bytes, then you must update your SQL Server systems with the following fixes to be in a supported state.
If you read further you will see that these disks require 2008 r2 SP1 or later. So, which version and sp level are you running? And obviously your comment about sql server 2012 aligns neatly with this scenario. You can determine the version and
sp level of your instance by executing the statement "select @@version"
In addition, try a little searching. The error message has been discussed previously and the usual culprit is the HD driver or firmware. Example:
2008 sp1 can't access database -
Restoring iPhone backup from previous phone to new one
Hi All,
I have just created a new iPHone in my iTunes it actually the same (1st generation iPHone) but I have updated to 2.0 and in the iTunes instead of restoring to original backup that I did before upgrading. I have selected to create a new Iphone. Now I have new iPHone shows up in iTunes but it's missing all of my camera photos and SMS, call history and favorites, and I'm sure I will find more things that are not on this new iPhone.
The question is:
How do I go back and upload the backup from the old 1.1.4 Iphone into this new one that I have created in iTunesYou know, I don't know if you want to help or just tried to be an * But either way.

I have Time Machine that I used to back up my old computer. It was running snow leopard. My MacBook died, so I got a new one which is running Lion. how can I restore the data from the time capsule to my new Mac?
In technical support, sometimes you have to make educated guesses. I'm sorry that you were offended.
iTunes does prompt when it is going to erase a device, and the message is clear.
She said in her message that she was able to successfully sync the old ipad. This indicated to me that itunes wiping the data was not an issue, because either it had been setup at the apple store (in which case it doesn't actually wipe the ipad despite saying it will*) (*based on a single case I saw), or because the itunes media folder was migrated.
Furthermore, my solution was to tell her how to backup her ipad (by either doing it manually, or as a last resort, by deleting the corrupt backup -- that she couldn't access anyway.)
I got that last part of the instructions from the "Taking Control of your iphone" book which I found samples of when I did a google search for "corrupted backup itunes".
She marked this as a solution, so it worked for her. -
do I need startup discs to upgrade hardware on MacBook Pro or can I restore the hard drive from from a Time Machine backup?
Ok, well go and grab a small 2.5" hard drive enclosure so you can put the new drive in & temporarily use it like an external hard drive.
Download Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper and make a bootable clone of your current HDD on the new HDD.
Once that's done you can test the clone by booting from it. To do this hold Optioni while booting to select the external (new) drive. If everything looks ok, you can go ahead and swap over the HDD's.
So much easier. -

I can't play a DVD from my superdrive via my macbook pro to apple TV via airplay.
I can't play a DVD from my superdrive via my macbook pro to apple TV via airplay. The movie plays fine on the macbook if I'm not trying to airplay. The airplay works fine if I'm not trying to play a movie from the superdrive. I think my apple TV is Gen 2.
If you get a checkerboard pattern it's because Apple block Airplay Mirroring of protected media.
VLC Player may work.

Having a bad day my iTunes library got corrupted and my back up disk has failed how can I restore my purchases from the iTunes store? When I try it tells me the pruchases have already been downloaded to this computer.
Does your purchased rmusic appears under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) ? If they do and you don't have the cloud symbol against them so as to re-download them, then do you still have the entries for them in your library i.e. where you would normally click on them to play them ? If you do then try deleting them from there (iTunes will be seeing them and assuming that you still have them somewhere) and they should then get the cloud symbol for re-downloading in the Purchased link.
If you aren't in a country where music can be re-downloaded then you could try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, -
How can I set up multiple spaces (desktops) on my new MacBook Pro 10.9.5? I have six set up on my other computer MacBook Pro 10.8.5 but can't find how to do it on this new one. Would appreciate help on this. Cheers.
It's not completely obvious. What you have to do in Spaces is to position your cursor to the upper right of the screen, after which faint + (plus) sign appears in that area. Click that, upon which another Desktop will appear.
The + may be difficult or impossible to see with some desktop backgrounds (black, for instance): -
after i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it to play the next song. Or put it in the UP NEXT.
First, make sure these items have checkmarks next to their names in iTunes. Continuous playback only works on checked items. Itunes will play all checked items in a list whether or not they're from the same album.
If you see that nothing in your library is checked and you want to check everything, hold down Ctrl while checking an item. This checks everything.
Next, fixing the "1 of 1" problem is easily. Select all the tracks that make up the book/album. Let's say there are 15. Press Ctrl-I. Doublecheck that the album box is filled in with the name of the book, and if not, type it there. Enter "15" in the box for the total number of tracks. Click OK. Now all the items should be "1 of 15," "2 of 15," and so on. -
I had to reformat my OSX 10.5.8 and I can't restore my emails from my time machine backup from an external hard drive - only the latest (post backup) time machine back ups are available to restore. Please can any help? I can find the mail folder in my libraries, but the Restore Button is grayed out
OSX treats the reformatted drive as a different one; it's the same as replacing it, and the old one is no longer connected.
See #E3 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting to see and restore from the "old" drive.
And, you may not want to restore via the Finder; see the blue box in #15 of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. -

I hope you guys can giv me some support here since I am Apple genuine buyer. I could be wrong last time and now I turn over a new leaf and learn a lesson.
Please noted that I can always create new account to ask for the same questions without mention about "jailbreak" if I want to but obviously I won't do that. Please provide me your support! Thank you! -
