New HD installedby apple/how do i pick/choose what i want to put back on?

Hi.
I had new hard drive installed. i had backed up onto my external firewire hard drive. I need to reinstall tiger from install disc and since i used carbon copy cloner when i bought laptop I don't need 3/4 of what is on on my backed up
external drive and it is using up tons of HD space. How do I pick and choose what i want? AS an example in my mail i have all the emails from my old work account from 3 years. I only want my .mac and sbc mail saved.
any advice? i'm willing to take the time....it needs to be done. there is so much junk on there and programs i never use.
thnks. poww.

Hi
The data you don't need any more you could copy
it to a cd or dvd and then delete that data from
your hard drive
That way you would make room on your powerbook
and still have that data on disks if you might ever
need it again
Hope This Helps

Mac OS X (10.4.9)
Hi....maybe i need to be more clear.
1) the new harddrive came back with my original Panther on it. and no data.
2) do I need to reinstall from the original Tiger disc I have? or just use the firewire exteranl drive with my backed up stuff I want and don't want and act like it is transferring data from another mac?
3)When do i get the chance to pick and choose what i want to reinstall and what i want to put onto a dvd?
thnks....POWW

New problem, Lycos Mail is my home page. When I open a new window I usually get Google search, which is what I want. Now, somehow when I open a new window I get Yahoo search. How do I change it back to Google? Thank you, Randy

A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.

Whenever I open a new Firefox Browser, the other Firefox Browsers that I have minimized to the bottom of the screen all restore, (reopen up) onto the screen with the new opened Firefox Browser, how do I stop this? Just want the new one to open on screen

Whenever I open a new Firefox Browser, the other Firefox Browsers that I have minimized to the bottom of the screen all restore, (reopen up) onto the screen with the new opened Firefox Browser, how do I stop this? Just want the new one to open on screen and the existing stay minimized.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I think when a I updated or downloaded a newer version of FireFox at Firefox's suggestion.

Hmm that does sound a bit strange - I use a system quite similar to yours (XP, FF 3.6.3), and don't see this behaviour.
I would recommend trying to start Firefox in Firefox [[Safe Mode]] (make sure you close '''all''' running Firefox instances first), and see if this problem persists.
If not, it could be some add-on causing this behaviour - restart Firefox in Safe Mode, disable all add-ons, and enable them one by one to find the guilty one.
If it still happens in Firefox Safe Mode, some other program (or something in Windows itself) most likely is the cause. We may be able to help with this too, so let us know what works and provide as much additional information as possible to let us help you solve this.
Please let us know how above works out, and if we can be of further assistance. Detailed feedback is appreciated and helps us to help you better, plus enables us to better help other users with similar issues.

junked old macbook for a new one. changed apple id password from a different mac. i want to login and it asks for name and password. no matter what i type i cant seem to login. why cant i just enter my apple id and password. or is there a way to change whatever name and password are on the new one from another mac so i can login. anything helps...thanks

Just open System Preferences>Users & Groups and unlock the preference pane with your root password.
Set the New Account to be an Administrator and fill in the rest of the data and then click "Create User".
I would suggest using this user to be YOU with admin capabilities. I wouldn't use the root user - too much damage could occur if you're not sure what you're doing. If you have files, etc., that you want to move to this account, simply but them in the Shared folder - or if you 'rescued' some old files and the like from your 'trashed' MBP, you can put them in your NEW admin account folders.
Hope I've explained myself well - call back with any questions!

What a horrible way to treat customers. I was due for updates on my phones and thought I should maybe check some other prices but have been with Verizon for 20 yrs so ended up there. I got 2 new IPhones 5s and the wife couldn’t decide what she wanted so she stayed with old phone but this locked me into a new 2 yr contract . Within a wk one of the new iPhones started turning on and of like 10 –15 times a day. Wk 2 it turned off and would not turn on again . It was my sons who was in college at the time so we talked and he took it in to a Verizon store where he was told I need to come in since the account was in my name. He was away from home , Verizon could see on account it was his phone they said it was not abused, they could not even turn it on , they sold me the phone give him another phone maybe even a loaner till he gets another. So now I need to go to store and explain to 3 different people this is my phone and my son has it and I need a new one. what a waste of time after about 2 hrs and talking to different people and yes they said there were notes on his account from other person he had talked to from different store. So I finally walk out with a receipt in hand and being told I would have a new phone in a couple days. As I sat in my vehicle thinking this is stupid I looked at my receipt and noticed it said droid on it so back into Verizon I went. The salesman said that’s what your son has on his account. My son had activated a friends old phone so he has one since VERIZON REFUSED to give him one. Another hr 3 people and yes they can see he had a new iPhone and notes on it from other store. Sometimes sorry just doesn't do it. I was now late for a appointment . Now I walk out and have been told I will get a new iPhone in the mail in about 2 wk Yes 2 wks again I bought it there just give me a new one and you send old one back. I will also get a new droid that I have to send back because they said they cant cancel it . In about 3 days I get the Droid and sent it back Verizon mistake and a waste of my time . After waiting over 2 wks and not receiving a new iPhone back to Verizon I went . I am now bitter at Verizon after doing 20 yrs of business with them. 3 people 1 hr later I was told it got delivered to my post office . I got the tracking num called the post office and they say o yes that was the droid. Go back in to Verizon another hr of explaining I walk out being told I will get a new iPhone in a couple of days, We’ll see . Once again I got the phone in your store just give me a new one . Do you realize how much of my time you have wasted ? do you care? O what is Your Policy ? How many Billion did you make last year ? I am Locked into a new 2 yr contract . Why don’t you just release me ? After 20 yrs do you think I will ever renew my contract ?

Simple process. If an iPhone go to the Apple Store and not Verizon
the phone from Verizon will be a refurbished device and not new unless under the 14 day worry free guarantee
good luck

I have an ipod touch 5th generation, bought a new laptop and authorised it. when i try to sync it says it's not possible because there isn't enough space to hold everything in the itunes library.it won't give me the option of choosing what i want to sync.

I have an ipod touch 5th generation 64g . Just bought a new laptop and authorised it to use itunes library. When i try and sync my ipod it says it can't do it because there isn't enough space on my ipod to hold everything in the itunes library. I already know that i can't fit everything on my ipod but when using my old laptop i was able to choose what i wanted to sync. Now i don't seem to have the option of choosing what i can sync, it just refuses to do it as there isn't enough space. Why is this???

Hello, peppertwist.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

HT4859 How do I recover from Icloud - I want to "roll back" my phone to the 3rd of October

How do I recover from Icloud - I want to "roll back" my phone to the 3rd of October

If your device backs up to iCloud, and that would happen every day assuming "conditions" are right, then you probably only have the latest backup available for a restore. You won't have one taken October 3 available.
I say "latest backup available" because, although Apple mentions up to 3 backups are available for restore, most users report having only one when they try performing a restore. Certainly expecting going back 5 days would be outside the limits.

I've used up several gift cards playing games on my iPad. Now I want to put back in my main credit card that I use playing games and it won't take it. Says there are too many cards associated with this apple ID. I have no idea what to do now -- anybody?

You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

HT1414 How do I get iOS6 off my iPhone and put back iOS5.1.1??

On an iPhone4 that had iOS5.1.1 (and worked perfectly, by the way), I upgraded to iOS6 and that was when my iPhone 4 became just an iPod with short battery life.
How can I dump iOS6 and get iOS5.1.1 back on my iPhone 4?!
Help!

There is no legitimate way to downgrade iOS.
Apple do not support downgrading.

How does an Endpoint Choose what Zone on a Gatekeeper?

Hi,
If I am configuring a gatekeeper cluster of 2 gatekeepers, and I have 3 local zones on the gatekeeper, how do endpoints that register to the gatekeeper choose what zone to go in?
Can you have multiple 'local' zones on a single gatekeeper?

In gatekeeper call routing we have something like yes or no terms that is how a gatekeeper will route a call based on an incoming Admission Request message (ARQ) message
Start:E.164 number match-yes-Target zone=matched endpoints zone- via zone processing -send ACF
NO Match
Tech-prefix match-yes -strip the tech-prefix-hop-off tech prefix - targetzone=hop-offzone
NO Match
ZONE-PREFIX match-Is arq reject-unknown prefix set? -send ARJ
No match
Target zone=matched zone
Here are the good documents;
The behavior of a gatekeeper when it processes a call request in the form of an admission Request (ARQ) from an H.323 endpoint.

I had all my photos neatly in events on the MAC; with this new upgrade, all photos are renamed by location not what I want; how do I change this back?

MAC; OS X Yosemite 10.10.3.
All my photos on the MAC were in events named by me.
Now, with this upgrade, all my photos are without my event names and named by iphoto by date and location (sometimes incorrect). I do not like this at all. I want to return to my events. How can I do this??

Moments in Photos are the new Events, i.e. groupings of photos sorted by date taken.
When the iPhoto Library was first migrated to Photos there was a folder created in the sidebar titled iPhoto Events and all migrated iPhoto Events (which are now Moments) are represented by an album in that folder. To open the sidebar if it's not already open use the Option+Command+S key combination.
There's a way to simulate events in Photos.
When new photos are imported into the Photos library go to the Last Import smart album, select all the photos and use the File ➙ New Album menu option or use the key combination Command+N. Name it as desired. It will appear just above the iPhoto Events folder where you can drag it into the iPhoto Events folder
When you click on the iPhoto Events folder you'll get a simulated iPhoto Events window.
The downside to the simulation is that the Albums/Events can only be sorted automatically by Title. But they can also be sorted manually, either in the sidebar or in the folder's window at the right.
Ask Apple for more sorting options in Photos via https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html.

How do I retrieve data from the cloud to put back on my iPad after it was restarted, I.e. my calendar, notes, reminders?

I took my 1st gen iPad to an Apple store because of some glitches in the operating system, and I had forgotten my restrictions pass code. They backed up my data on the cloud, then took everything off of my iPad to basically "start over" with a new iPad. Now I don't know how to retrieve my calendar, notes, reminders. Somehow my contacts are there. I went to general settings and made sure the cloud was turned on, but I don't know how to pull from the cloud what we had previously backed up. Thanks for ANY suggestions:)

When you have forgotten a restrictions password, you can no long restore from a backup that had the restrictions turned on. You can only start over with a full reset.
But you can sign back into icloud (Setting>icloud) and turn on the services you have used before (calendars, reminders, etc...). That will sync down the data to your ipad.
