New hard drive - dont want to lose my webpage

Recently had to replace hard drive - lost everything - if you're reading this, pause 1 minute and back up all your pics and videos. Anyway, my webpage is still on .mac, but no info on iweb. Is there way to download from .mac back to iweb? I am worried if i create a new page within iweb and upload, i will then lose all my old pages - is that true? Is there a way to lock old page created and start over but not lose the old pages? thx for help, and if you didnt already backup your pics and videos!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Unfortunately there is no way to import a published site back into iWeb. You will have to recreate it from scratch. But you can use the existing files in the online site to help recreate it in iWeb. See this page for more information: http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWebRetrieveWebsite.html.

I am due to upgrade my iPhone 3 to iPhone 5. I have icloud which co-ordinates my phone and mac what happens when I get a new phone - I dont want to lose all my contacts, notes, addresses etc. Do I have to disconnect icloud and how? What happens?

I am due to upgrade my iphone 3 to iphone 5. I have icloud which is co-ordinating my iphone 3 and Mac Pro updating each other. What happens when I get a new phone - I dont want to lose all my addresses, notes etc. What is the procedure and step by step action? The new phone arrives - then what?

When I upgraded from the iPhone 3GS to iPhone 5, I simply did a Backup of my phone using iTunes, plugged in the new iPhone 5 into my Mac, and did a Restore of that backup to put everything back. This procedure is documented around the web. Also, the new phone will ask you for your Apple ID and when you enter it, all your iCloud info will be downloaded to the phone. It worked pretty well for me.

I upgraded my computer, new OS on a new hard drive. Want to get my bookmarks off Firefox off my old drive, but can't find the file.

I upgraded my computer, by adding a second hard drive for a new OS, and kept the old drive as the data drive. I assumed that I could install Firefox on the new drive and import my bookmarks from the old Mozilla install on the old drive. I can't find the files on the old drive with my bookmarks. Should they still be there, or when I reinstalled Firefox, did I lose everything even though it was on another drive? I can't find any backup files on the old drive, and would like to restore my old bookmarks. Is there any way to do this?

You need find your profile folder in the old drive, the way must be:
# First show the hidden files and folder:
#*[http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files]
# Then go to:
#*<old drive>:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
# Enter in your profile, then enter in the '''bookmarkbackups''' folder.
# Copy the most recent json file(bookmarks backup)
# Then restore from them:

I'm installing a new hard drive and wanted to restore it from Time Machine. When I restart w/ "command" /"R" it returns to orig. startup disk.

I'm trying to load a new harddrive using timemachine when I restart the Macpro using "command"/ "R" keys it restarts to orig. startup disk and not to restore option.

If you installed a brand new hard disk, there is no recovery partition. OS X Internet Recovery should enable you to boot with ⌘ R but this does not work on all Macs, just ones with updated firmware that enables this function. Yours may predate that ability.
Read this: from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
Some computers that did not ship with OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion installed may have a software update available that allows them to use Lion Internet Recovery.
Therefore, without a recovery partition, your 2008 MBP cannot boot OS X Internet Recovery.
Boot from your original system installation disc, then restore from your Time Machine backup. It will create the recovery partition on your new HD.
Time Machine backup volumes are also bootable, so you should be able to boot from the TM volume using Startup Manager. Connect the TM volume then an Option key while starting the MBP.

Installed new hard drive and want to restore from time machine.
Get as far as 'select a destination' then it goes no further - just keeps 'searching for disks'
Help anyone please?

1. Be sure your drive is attached and mounted.
2. If you have already written any data to the drive, back it up before proceeding to the next step.
3. In the Finder, choose Go > Utilities. The /Applications/Utilities folder will open.
4. Launch Disk Utility.
5. Click the icon for your external hard drive in the sidebar on the left.
6. Click the Erase tab along the top of the window.
7. From the Volume Format menu, choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
8. Enter a name for the external hard drive in the Name field.
9. Click the Erase button.
Make Sure that you choose the correct drive

HT4759 what do we do if we have iweb? I have got a new host but I heard Lion wont have the software.. I dont want to lose it as its fabulous.

how do we keep using our website made on iweb since Lion doesnt offer the software? I dont want to lose all the hard work I've put into the site.

You will have to move your website to another server, but you can continue using iWeb. See this information from Old Toad:
Info About iWeb Curtesy of Old Toad
As you now know iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.   On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. HOWEVER, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ MobileMe Gallery
Currently if the site is published directly from iWeb to the 3rd party server the RSS feed and slideshow subscription features will work. However, if the site is first published to a folder on the hard drive and then uploaded to the sever with a 3rd party FTP client those two features will be broken.   All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.   There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
   However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: iW14 - Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.

I had to install a new hard drive because my old hard drives boot files became corrupted, and i want to get all of my music files off the old hard drive and regain all my play counts/ratings/playlists

Greetings everyone
as the title says, ive had to install a new hard drive and i want to transfer my old itunes library onto the new drive, maintaining all playlists/play counts/ratings etc, album artwork if possible. The old hard drive is installed as a slave drive and is completely acessible, but due to the boot files being corrupted i cannot use it as the main drive and therefore operate my old itunes. Also, my ipod no longer contains my music library as itunes synced without my permission and wiped it.
The only thing i have tried is copying all of my old music files from the old drive by selecting 'add folder to library' and then the old drive, then replacing the new itunes library.itl file with the one from my old itunes. This restores all my playlists and playcounts but when i try to play any of the songs it says that the files could not be found, and i dont fancy locating 8500 music files individually!
Thankyou for taking the time to read my post, any help will be greatly appreciated.

Ah, my reply was based on the assumption that you had a default installation of iTunes.
i.e you had all your music in the iTunes media folder inside your iTunes folder.
If your iTunes folder is so small compared to the amount of music you have, you must have a different arrangement.
This complicates you situation considerably.
iTunes can cope with moving around as long as all the music is in the iTunes media folder, not not if it isn't.
Your first step should be to get iTunes working on the old drive. This will involve editing the xml library file so that the drive letter is correct and then rebuilding the library from the xml file.
Then you will need to consolidate your library which moves everything into the iTunes media fodler. After that you will be able to use my first suggestion.
Step 1
Find the iTunes folder on the old drive and copy the two library files somewhere else so you can find them again. That's iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Library.xml.
Now open the copy of iTunes Library.xml with WordPad.
Look for lines starting:
Location
These contain the paths to tracks.
You will need to use a find/replace to change the drive letter so that it is correct.
Make sure that you include enough in the "find" so that you only change the right thing.
Maybe /c:/ and replace with /d:/ or whatever.
After that, tell iTunes to use the library on the old drive with a shift key start.
Hold down the shift key and start iTunes, keep holding the shift key until you are prompted to choose a library. Navigate to the iTunes folder on the old drive and choose iTunes Library.itl.
Then use the method in the following article to rebuild your library;
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
Unfortunately the date added will be today for all tracks.
If iTunes works correctly after this, consolidate your library
File>>Library>>Organize>>consolidate
This copies all tracks into to iTunes media folder and could create a problem if you do not have disk space so don't do it if you are unsure about free disk space.
Check that iTunes works OK and then use the first method.

New hard drive and old ipod touch...I want my music back :{

My computer crashed 3 weeks ago ( I lost everything and had to install a new hard drive, so it's like a brand new computer) I read some instructions about this issue but I wasn't sure if i re download itunes and I am unsure what the steps are to get my itunes library back on my computer. Do I reinstall itunes? How do i sync my ipod to my computer? I just need plain old good help because I don't want tp lose everthing! Thanks! Also I am not the brightest with computer so please dumb it down for me...lol!!!

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just this reason.
Use your backup copy to put evefrything back on your computer.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy , not ggod, then you can transfer itunes purchases form an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases.
In some countries you can redownload some purchases:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

My old computer is spoilt. so i bought a new one. now when i try to sync my iPodtouch with my new computer it says "do u wanna erase" the things on my iPod. i clicked NO. but i really wanna update my iPod to io5 but i can't as i dont want to lose my stuff

Before you restore the iPod from the backup that Dave had you make yu have to transfer stuff from the iPod to the computer since the backup does not contain the apps themselfes, music, synced phots and some other stuff. To see what a backup contains see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
To transfer iTunes purchases:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- For other stuff you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support CommunitiesA lot of thos are paid, especiall for more than a limited number of items. It is harder to find one that does synced photos.

Want to buy a new hard drive

Sorry if this is a repeat of a question I asked earlier but I can't find it in communities. I have late 2008 Mac Pro that I recently bought used and want to upgrade it. Thru other discussions I have figured out that my hard drive is dying. I have nothing to lose on this system and want to start fresh with new hard drive that might even be better than the original. My system info is:
Mac Pro 3,1
Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Processor speed: 2.8 ghz
2 processors
8 cores
L2 cache (per processor): 12 MB
Memory: 4GB
BUs Speed: 1.6 GHz
Boot ROM version: MP31.006C.B05
I want to know what hard drive I can purchase to maximize this desk top. I want replace the graphics card so that I can use it as a desk top flight simulator. I know nothing about purchasing hard drives and would appreciate every bit of information anyone can give me. I have a blank canvas here and really want to make it as good as possible.
Thank you in advance.

I have itunes directory on an external hard drive and want to direct a new installation of itunes on windows 8 to use it. I tried holding down ctrl and clicking itunes and after many tries got it to work one time. When I went back in later it had reverted back to a blank version of itunes and I cant get ctrl to work again. Any other ideas?

This is sometimes caused by a problem with the iTunesPrefs.xml file, normally found at C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunesPrefs.xml. Try dragging this to the desktop and trying again.
Alternatively the problem may be that you have McAfee AV and it is preventing iTunes from updating the same file and thus causing the problem. See Why does iTunes delete my itunesprefs.xml? for details.
