Question about transfer things from my calendar

I recently upgrade from an iphone 3g to the iphone 4s and i am trying to get all the saved events from my calendar to transfer to the new phone and i dont know how to do it. I use a pc not a mac. Any ideas?

You have to connect your iPhone and in iTunes click the restore button, it should give you the option to restore from back up.

Question about tranferring data from iPhone 3gs to iPhone 4

I just had a couple quick questions about transferring data from my old phone from my new iPhone 4. The reason i am wondering is because i am worried about whether i will encounter any problems when doing so.
First off i have already sold my phone today, i reset all data and settings from the phone and gave it to my buddy so its gone. I did a full sync and backup yesterday so all the necessary files should be on my computer(windows 7). Now, im basically wondering if i will run into any problems if i restore my iphone 4 from a backup. My 3gs was running 3.1.2 on att. Now i know IDEALLY i would have updated it to iOS 4 before backing it up and used the newest version of itunes, but i did not. Does anyone think this will be a problem for me?
Now with that out of the way, my biggest fear is losing my old data(text messages and notes mainly because i am a pack rat for those type of things) so id like to be SURE that none of my old backups will be deleted in any scenario. The reason i dont just restore it right now is because i want my new phone to be as clutter free as possible. I am going to be putting on here only the apps that i used often and would basically like to transfer over the BARE minimum; texts, notes, and highly used apps... So i guess my main question is can you transfer over only certain things like texts and notes after setting up the phone as a new phone. And if i were to set up the phone as a new phone what would happen to my old backups? Would i be able to selectively restore?
Im afraid that it might not be a possibility to transfer only certain things even though it should be.. i should be able to select a text messages folder and put it on my new phone and be done with it... But anyway i dont want to rant. Can anyone explain to me how this all will work?
ULTIMATE GOAL: Transfer only texts, notes, certain apps(and their data) and NOTHING ELSE.
MOST IMPORTANT THING: Not losing texts and notes. I can deal with putting all the old **** on my new phone and cluttering/slowing it down if i NEED to.
Thank you in advance, sorry for the long post.

If the most important thing for you is keeping old text messages, notes, and voicemail, then you'll need to sync the phone from your existing backup. I know of no other way to access those items.
Once you have synced to the new phone, check that you have those items that were important. Then you can reconnect your phone to iTunes, and change the sync settings to remove the apps or other items you no longer want to keep on the phone.
iPhone backups are stored by iTunes; you can see them by opening your iTunes preferences, clicking on "Devices" and then looking in the window. You can delete old backups from here. I don't know how you can open/read the backups though.
I don't expect you'd have any problems syncing from your old phone's backup, but it's definitely an either/or situation. Since you got rid of the old phone already, it's too late to email yourself your notes, or copy the text messages. Your previous backup is your only solution.

Transfer items from one calendar to another (on iMac)

I have a question: how can you transfer all the items from one calendar into another calendar? I thought I had come up with an ingenious solution, but it didn't work (see below).
Years ago, I set up a calendar for my wife and I to use as a "family" calendar. After uploading iOS8, I decided to try transfer all the calendar items from our "family" calendar to the newly created Family calendar. I used the Export command to export all the items in the "family" calendar, and then the Import command to bring them into the Family calendar. BAD IDEA. I got a dialog box telling me the items could not be imported because they were already on the iCloud calendar. This dialog box had to be dismissed by choosing either "Ignore", "Try Again", or "Revert to Server". This dialog box popped up FOR EVERY CALENDAR ITEM. At first I thought I was in an endless loop. I finally put a stapler on my keyboard to hold down the Return key to dismiss the dialog boxes. Even then, it took several minutes to clear the dialog boxes. Apparently, I learned how NOT to transfer items from one calendar to another.

Okay. I have answered my question. The key is to actually read and follow Apple's instructions (i.e. delete the original calendar AFTER exporting it, but BEFORE importing it into the new calendar.)

Question About Transferring Apps From iPad

*****Sorry for the waste of space and time. I finally found an article saying that it cannot be done. Apps stay in the name they were downloaded with.*****
I am wondering if you can transfer Apps with multiple accounts to iTunes with one account stored? I know this may be confusing so let me explain a little bit. Alright, I have an account and so of course I have intalled Apps onto my iPad. Now my girlfriend also has an account and she has installed some Apps onto my iPad. I believe I have three different accounts tied to several Apps on my iPad. Now I know I can transfer purchases by doing this...
My question is, is there a way to correlate all 3 accounts' Apps to one single account? That way I don't have to sign in and out for every account. I just hate having to call and ask for their login information everytime I want to get updates or transfer things from my iPad to my iMac. Obviously some of the Apps were installed on my iPad through their accounts by the use of their funds, and it's not like they would just appear on my iPad without them doing so. There must be a way to do this...

I have the same issue. I've heard at this time there is no way to consolidate accounts. Let's hope we'll be able to do it in the future!

I'm not sure I understand you entirely, but you could put the CDs on the computer with a CD ROM drive and then boot that computer as a firewire drive to the computer without a CD ROM drive and then copy your music over.

How do I transfer things from one login to another?

So when I purchased my MBP, I was unaware of how to set it up so I could still print from my school printer. However, I found out I have to have my shortname the same as my school username in order to do this.
I have created a second account user on my mac with this guideline, however it is a pain to go back and forth between accounts when at school.
How can I transfer everything from my original login to the second one I created, without using an external hard drive to create a backup?
Or is there any easier ways that someone might know about?
And I have spoke to Apple about this, however it wasn't much help, and they were telling me to bring my mac to them, and that's an hour or more drive depending on traffic from where I live.

Move them to the /Users/Shared/ folder and then into the desired account, or drag one account's home folder to the other account's desktop.

Question about Offset printing from Indesign

Hello everyone, I have a question about printing too a DPX rip platemaker from Indesign. When I print my file to the rip, it seems to bold the text when it should not be bold, I do not know if this is an Indesign or rip error, but if anyone has a solution I would be grateful for any assistance.
I dont know if it's necessary, but the OS with Indesign is Mac OSX, printing to a ripmate on Windows 2000.

Have you applied an outline to the text?
Try unoutlined text
Is the text near an effect like drop shadow or other filter?
Move the text to top layer or above any effects.
Is it just this file or any file?
Need to figure out if it's just this job or all of them or at least let us know.
Have you got the fonts installed at the RIP end, perhaps it's rasterising text that the RIP has not got the font?
You could try exporting to PDF first, that would embed the fonts in the PDF.
Let us know if any of this helps?

Question About Adding Ram from other laptop to T-series Thinkpad

Hi,
I have a question about adding additional RAM. Right now I have a 4gb ram stick in the t510. I have an acer laptop which I do not need and there is a 4GB ram stick onboard (maybe two 2gb ram sticks) there in that older laptop. Would it be possible to add one stick of 2gb ram (or 4gb i need to check if it is 2 or 1) from the acer to the lenovo thinkpad making the total ram in the thinkpad over 4gb????
Thanks in advance

Hi Richk,
Yes, I am using a 64-bit operating system. I am running on windows 7. And as for reported incompatibilities....technically taking a RAM from another laptop and placing it in the laptop should be the same as purchasing a RAM card from ebay or something and putting into the laptop right?

Some question about receiving messages from Skype ...

Hello there,
I have a question or two about recieving messages from Skype users, who are not on my contact list"
1. If I have enabled to only receive messages from people in my contact list, will they be notified when they try to send me an instant message, that they need to add me first?
2. Will I still be able to see messages sent by contacts who are not in my contact list and them see my messages*, if we are both in a Skype conversation group but not on each other's contact list? *The messages either one of us posts in the Skype group conversation
I appreciate the information
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

1. The person sending this message will not receive any notification about failing message delivery. The message will just disappear in nowhere.
2. Messages exchanged in group chats will be seen both by you and the other person, even if this person is not in your Contact List.

Transfer things from ipod to itunes

Due to some trouble I was forced to reinstall my windows (and my old iTunes with it), so now I've installed a new iTunes, but I still have the old iPod with all the things synced with the old iTunes library. Does anybody know how to transfer the things from the iPod to the new iTunes library, because I want to keep adding new thing to the iPod and at the same time I don't want to erase everything I have in the iPod now. I've tried everything I could and nothing solved my problem. I'd be grateful for any advise. Thanks. Moovie

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod:
File>Transfer Purchases

Question about Removing Permissions from the System Folder with chmod

Hi
I have a question about the removal of permissions from the System folder (and sub directories and files).
Background
Since installing a new HD, clean install of 10.6, application of updates and moving over backed up user directories I have had several issues with permissions.
I have read several threads on this and using disk warrior and other tools I have been able to fix most of the issues.
The Problem
The issue that remains is a permissions check using Disk Utility keeps reporting
ACL found but not expected on "System".
followed by an extensive list of sub directories and all.
Attempts to repair take hours and the same errors are reported.
Found Solutions
I have read about changing and/or completely removing the ACL from the permissions from the System using two different commands:
sudo chmod -R -N ./System/* ( to remove all ACLs)
or
sudo chmod -R -E ./System/* ( to replace all ACLs )
My Question is ( to the UNIX gurus):
What is the difference between the usage with -E and -R and which is the best approach for a Systems directory and (subordinates)?
Many thanks!!

OK
So I misread on the your instructions about the PW reset, did it, no harm in that. I did also select the options to reset all the permissions for all the accounts and the ACL issues were not resolved. My bad, I forgot to note that.
You do suggest getting and expert opinion but alas these are rather elusive. In most cases the Apple solutions is to do a complete reinstall... I have found that unless you completely wipe a drive and rebuild everything there are often artifacts left behind. Since I have full and redundant back-ups I would rather explore and hack a little instead of a dull old system reinstall. The irony is the system issue I had was it was the result a reinstall and combo update on a new drive. I recognize the risks of entering the realms of the System folders but I am willing to explore knowing full well that I have a path to recovery.
Thanks again for your insights. I come to the forums looking for insights and ideas but not a lecture...

How to transfer things from ipod touch to computer if you have an iphone synced

i have an iphone and an ipod touch, my iphone is synced to the computer but the ipod hasnt been plugged in for a long time so the computer is saying it will wipe it clean because it is from a different computer or account even though they are the same. i have songs and games and movies and books on my ipod that do not show up on my computer because i had a virus on it so everything was wiped clean before i could back everything up on discs. how do i transfer everything i purchased on the same account from my ipod touch to my computer so that i can transfer them to my iphone?

Choose Authorize Computer from the Store menu, plug in the iPod touch, choose Transfer Purchases from the dialog box that appears, or if none, from the File menu.

Yet another question about transfer from iPod to PC

I realize there have been a couple similar questions regarding this, recently, and I have read the answers and the guides within help. The trouble is this: My hard drive on my PC died!! I had to replace it. So, the new hard drive has no music library at all. I need the new library to match what's on the ipod, for further music downloads and automatically updating the ipod, etc.
I followed directions in "Copy Music to New Computer". At the point where it says to go to My Computer and double click on the iPod (while it's connected, of course) and you're supposed to see a few folders here. One of them should be a folder called iTunes. You're supposed to be able to drag it into your My Music iTunes folder. However, that folder does not appear!! Only Calendars, Contacts, and Notes folders are there. There definitley is music on the ipod. So, why is there no folder there? I can't figure any other way to get this stuff back in my library.
Please help.
I could re-import most of it ,I guess, and start over, but if I can't get the stuff that's only on my ipod, the library still won't match. And next time I download new music, and iPod updates itself from my library, I'll lose stuff.
Any ideas?

Try this.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), there's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.

Question about transfer from Mini DV Tape

How many GB's does the transfer of a 1 hr mini dv tape to Final Cut Pro takes?
As a single 1-hour-long clip

Hmmm… I'm glancing at two charts I have that are rundowns of formats and their resolutions, bit depths, storage requirements and other technical data. One says 11.25 GB, and another says 13.0 GB! Neither clarify if they include audio data in that or not, either way the information is conflicting.

Question about migrating data from mac pro to new macbook

Hello all,
I ordered a new macbook today and i'm very excited. It will be the first time i've had two apple machines simultaneously. My question is in regards to getting my new macbook all stocked up with the files and apps currently residing on my mac pro.
1. I don't know if by using migration assistant if the data is removed from the old machine and added to the new. I don't want that. I want everything currently on my mac pro to remain, unchanged.
2. I'd normally use target disk mode, but no firewire on the macbook, so, no dice there.
3. My startup disk and apps and such reside on one HDD in my mac pro, while my home folder, or user files, or whatever, reside on a separate HDD. will this cause a problem.
Your input is much appreciated.

It can be done with USB, but it is slower and less reliable.
Ethernet works great, IF you have two FUNCTIONAL machines. The great thing about Firewire Target Disk mode was that if the HD/OS was corrupted, or the computer was for some reason unbootable you could still get data off of it quickly, without tools or special equipment. Firewire Target disk mode has saved my rear several times on every machine I have owned.
The hard drive is fairly easy to remove on the aluminum Macbook. I would remove it and install it in an external Firewire enclosure temporarily to transfer your files quickly and reliably, then put the drive back in the Macbook.
Firewire allows two operating modes. One is asynchronous, like USB which suffers from latency, bus contention and collisions.
The other is isochronous mode, and it lets a device carve out a certain dedicated amount of bandwidth that other devices can't touch. It gets a certain number of time slices each second all its own. The advantages for audio/video should be obvious: that stream of data can just keep on flowing, and as long as there isn't more bandwidth demand than the wire can handle, nothing will interfere with it. No collisions, no glitches.
