Restore - back up data and files

I have backed up my hard drive to a LaCie Extreme HD. However, I now need to restore to my mac HD as I had to wipe the Mac HD due to hardware problems. It seems that LaCie do not provide restore capability for OSX10.4 I have managed to copy iPhoto pictures to iPhoto but have been unable to copy the many albums. I have thousands of photos with no albums. Is there a file which contains album information I can copy to iphoto?

The iPhoto Library folder contains the data files that structure your albums and folders within iPhoto, so the best thing to do is to put the folder called iPhoto Library into your Pictures folder in your Home folder, then launch iPhoto while holding down the Option key and point iPhoto to the iPhoto Library folder.

Took a back up in iTunes then restored factory settings and then restored back but photos and songs missing

took a back up in iTunes then restored factory settings and then restored back but photos and songs missing

How did the photos get onto the iPad ? If they were synced from a computer then they aren't included in the backup - the restore would look for them in the directory that they were synced from.
And for the songs (and the contents of the Videos app and any iTunes downloads) they are also not included in the backup, the restore would look to copy them back from your computer's iTunes library. Do you have them in your iTunes library, or can you copy them into your library (File > Add To Library) so that you can sync them back ?

I was told of an application that will allow the use of a second screen to view my data and files, but I forgot its name. I'd like to make the connection because my LCD is broken.

You don't need an application, just plug a compaitble monitor into the display port of your MacBook Pro, set the screen up in System Preferences>Displays

I have a mid year 2007 24 inch iMac and will be purchasing a new 27 inch Retina iMac, what is the easiest way to transfer the data and files from my old machine to the new one?

I have a mid year 2007 24 inch iMac and will be purchasing a new 27 inch Retina iMac, what is the easiest way to transfer the data and files from my old machine to the new one?

Following up on this thread,
I have a new iMac on the way and my current is from 2008, never had a problem but I am sure there are internal issues that I would prefer not to transfer.
I have no issues other then the slowness in certain programs and that is the main reason to buy a new one.
Programs like numbers and pages seem to take a longer time to open after I update to Yosemite.
I only use 272GB of 500 GB, my memory is 4GB and I am upgrading to 8Gb and bought the 4.0 processor.
Question:
Is there a way to manually transfer items or would that be a waste of time in that if there are issues they could be anywhere and would transfer anyway?

Date and file

hi to all
in my program, i am having date and file in select-screen apart form these two i am also having other filelds in selection screen.
after the program exexcution i am updating the one z table with the date on which program was executed.
when ever i am executing the same program after that,
if i want to get the last run executin date from it how to do it?
and i am not storing file name in any table i am creting that file in appplication server.
when ever i am executing the same program after that,
if i want to get the last executinfile name from it how to do it?
regards
raadha

1. To get the last run execution date.
After execting the program , u r updating a z table with program execution date.
So u can get teh last run execuiton date from a select query by using the data stored in that table.
for example, Say if the table is Zlastrun( where u update last run execution date)
Also what are the other fields u uptade in the table.
i assume u are also updating the program name and if so, u can use the below statment.
From that u can get by using the select statmement
select * from Zlastrun into tale it_zlastrun where pgm = C_pgm_name order by ERDAT descending .
Where zlastrun - name of the table
it_zlastrun - name of the internal tale
pgm - field in zlastrun.
c_pgm_name - constant the value should be name of the program.
Erdat - execution date
Plz let me know if this is useful
Thanks

What are the steps to restore all deleted data and settings by remote wipe? Thanks.

What are the steps to restore all deleted data and settings by Remote wipe?

Go to me.com, logon and go to the FindMyiPhone. If it does not appear then there is not much you can do.
Next step would be to appleid.apple.com and change your password to cut off access to your iDisk.

Restoring backed up data to another mac

i have backed up all my files from my macbook on time machine, but now i want to put that data on to a macbook pro. When i open time machine on the pro, there's no data there. please help

you have two options.
1. run Migration assistant on the new computer. It's in /Applications/Utilities. It lets you migrate your user data and applications from a TM backup. this is the best and the easiest option.
2. use TM in a browse mode to selectively restore what you want by hand. to do that control-click on TM in the dock and select 'browse other TM backups". it will let you browse your old TM backups and restore what you want where you want to.
Either way when you are done you should set up TM on the new computer again in TM system preferences. it will start a new backup sequence and you'll be able to access it normally.

Restoring backed up data after Win7 recovery

did a total recovery from the HP Support Assistant - first backed up files to external hd thru same restarted computer as instructed, am ready to put back all my stuff from the external HD - HOW DO I DO THAT PROPERLY? I look at the external and I'm not sure how to do it. HELP please? I dont want to flub this up as I've done before and made things worse!!! thanks so much for your help asap!

Thank you randers4 and Eric Ross. The only problem is that i did this because of the following error:
"To: Clash of Clans. "When I first started on my iPad I didn't log in to game centre (but I thought I had). Then I downloaded it on my iPhone and followed the steps to register, and thus created two games...the one on my iPad which was far advanced and the one on my phone which I had played once but was registered. Now, whenever I play on my iPad it asks to sync with game centre (which I want to do so I don't lose my game but it will be overwritten with the phone game, which I dont want."
And i followed their advice which was:
"If you wish to start another game, you need to reset your device - please use this with caution as you will lose all data from the device.
In order to reset your device safely, please follow the steps below:
1) Go to settings
2) Go to iCloud
3) Go to Storage & BackUp
4) Go to "BackUp now"
5) Go back to settings and go to "general"
6) Go to "reset"
7) Go to "erase all content & settings"
After the reset is done and your device starts up again, it is very important that you do not load your back-up immediately.
8) Skip the Backup (click on "later")
9) Go to the App Store
10) Download Clash of Clans
11) Log in through Game Center and start a new game
12) Go back to settings / iCloud and load the back-up to get all your files back"
As you can see, i was not supposed to restore back up during the set up process. i just hoped there was another way - or maybe i'm misreading the instructions.

Help, how to restore backed-up data from old 3GS to my new 3GS?

Hi I recently got a replacement phone, and when i synced it to iTunes, the prompt to restore my backed-up data came up. However when I tried to restore, it prompted me to update my new phone's software to 3.1 first.
So now, after updating my software, how do I restore the data from my old phone?
Coz the first prompt does not appear anymore.
Would appreciate your feedback, thanks!

Upgrade to 3.1 first, do not sync or backup. After you upgrade, reconnect & select restore from previous backup & all your data will be put back on the new phone.
When you right click on your phone under devices in the right column, one of your choices will be restore from backup.

HELP!!!Can I restore back my photos and documents after I did factory restore setting? [never back up before]

Just wonder, I have tried to do that for my mac pro. [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtUw-vo606w] , once I have reinstall the mac lion, the laptop will be just as the same day when i first purchased it right? Will i be able to restore back my photos ? Please note that, i never back up my photos before.

Yes if you erase/wipe, re-partition the drive before you do a reinstall of OS X Lion all data on your drive will be removed and replaced with just the operatiing system and the standard programs that come with OS X, Mail, Contacts, Safari, iTunes and the like. The iLife Apps, "i" Photo, Movie and Garage Band will not. Those Apps need to be downloaded from the Mac App Store and installed.
All other programs you have bought and installed will need to be reinstalled from either the CD/DVD disc or from downloads from the internet website you bought them from.
Backing up all your music and photos depends on what programs you are using and whether you saved them outside the Apple Apps iPhoto and iTunes database structure.

Backed up data and upgrading itunes

I've backed up my ipad to itunes. Apple erased and updated my ipad to enable icloud.Went to restore ipad from itunes but it says itunes must be upgraded sync now. Will upgrade lose my backed up data?!

My oh my, slightly exceeds your lifespan.. three score and 10 or if you are strong four score..81,000 years hmmm..
Are you using Lion.. 10.7.5 to be exact .. you are subject to a serious bug, created by Apple and not fixed before release to all computers.. great the level of testing Apple does now.. think of yourself as a beta tester..
Here is the patch to update to the patch.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1599
If you are on a different OS tell us.. ML can have similar if not quite so bad issues.
The bug may have corrupted the old backup which is why it needs to be replaced. Unfortunately once it restarts the backup I doubt you can recover what was there.. it seems your backups now need backups if there happened to be anything you actually want.
I strongly recommend at the moment getting another software backup program.. superduper, CCC, chronosync.. something designed to create a single image.. and not self corrupt.

Incorrect dates and file folder size

Here's something strange. I was trying to burn a DVD today and the contents added up to 4.3 gigs. When I opened Toast Titanium to burn the disc, the contents only added up to 4.0 gigs! Why is there a difference of 300 megabytes? So I burned the disc, and it appeared to work OK, but when I catalogued the disc in Disk Tracker, the creation year is 1923?! Any idea what's going on? The date on my computer is accurate. Is this problem on my Mac or is it a problem with Toast Titanium?

Sounds like a case of Apple's +new way+ for measuring the size of storage. Starting with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, Apple has Mac OS X reporting things like hard drive capacity and file size based on how humans count, in Base 10. Previously, Apple was following the industry norm and displaying such information based on how computers count. So...
"kilo" instead of being 1000, was 1024.
"mega" instead of being 1,000,000 (1000x1000), was 1,048,576 (1024x1024)
"giga" instead of being 1,000,000,000 (1000x1000x1000), was 1,073,741,824 (1024x1024x1024)
and so on...
As you can see, as the numbers get larger, the percentage discrepancy between the human number and the computer number gets larger. That's why before Snow Leopard, a 160GB hard drive was reported as only having the capacity of about 149GB. But if you look at that same hard drive capacity under Snow Leopard, a 160GB hard drive has a reported capacity of 160GB. Apple is basically translating the computer number back to human (Base 10) terms.
Third parties have not updated their apps to follow Apple's lead. So Toast is probably still reporting the number as the computer number. The difference of 0.3 GB is about a 7% discrepancy, which makes sense for a capacity in the "giga" range.
So to answer your question, both the Mac and Toast are correct. They are just calculating that number differently.
I don't know what's going on with the date. That may be a separate issue.

Is there anyway to restore lost game data and achievement from the Game Centre after doing a full restore without backup?

I recently restored my iPad to fix issues with the Facebook account attached to my iPad clearing all saved data and I didn't backup with iCloud because I wanted to get rid of the Facebook account that I could no longer access and remove or attach with games. Game achievements are shown in the Game Centre but when I play the app it starts at the very beginning of the app with no progress is there anyway to retrieve my progress?

No. Not without a backup.

Multipart/form-data and file attachment

Hi ,
This question has probably been asked before, but if not then here it is. Any replies will be appreciated:
Q. When using "Enctype=Multipart/form-data", with file attachment alongwith other form fields, is it mandatory to attach a file ? What if user selects no file to attach?
Q. If no, then how can it be possible that a form can be submitted without attaching a file since when I try to submit a form with no file attached to it, it gives me error message saying :java.lang.NullPointerException
Q. Does it mean that I can't have a form with a blank "File" input field, if the form's Enctype is "multipart/form-data"? Since users may not select a file to attach to the form, in other words it is an optional.
I hope I was clear enough in explaining my questions.
Thanks in advance.

I am using Orielly's file attachement pacakge.
Here's what I am doing in my JSP page: It does the following:
int maxFileSize = 10 * 1024 * 1024; // 5MB max
String uploadDir = "/direct/files/upload/";
String FormResults = "";
String FileResults = "";
String fileName = "";
String fileName2 = "";
String paramName="";
String paramValue="";
File f;
int filecounter=1;
first get the form fields using following code:
MultipartRequest multi = new MultipartRequest(request, uploadDir, maxFileSize);
Enumeration params = multi.getParameterNames();
//Get the form information
while (params.hasMoreElements())
     paramName = (String) params.nextElement();
     paramValue = multi.getParameter(paramName);
     if (paramName.equals("emailconfirm"))
          emailconfirmation = paramValue;
     else if (paramName.equals("Requester"))
          Requester = paramValue;
     else if (paramName.equals("TodaysDate"))
          TodaysDate = paramValue;
     else if (paramName.equals("Extension"))
}//end while
Then it gets the file information using the following code: I have two file fields in my form so that's why I am using a filecounter to find out if user has attached two files or just one:
Enumeration files = multi.getFileNames();
while (files.hasMoreElements())
     String formName = (String) files.nextElement();
     if (filecounter == 2)
fileName2 = multi.getFilesystemName(formName);
     String fileType = multi.getContentType(formName);
          f = multi.getFile(formName);
     FileResults += "<BR>" + formName + "=" + fileName2 + ": Type= " + fileType + ":
Size= " + f.length();
     else
     {     fileName = multi.getFilesystemName(formName);
          String fileType = multi.getContentType(formName);
          f = multi.getFile(formName);
          FileResults += "<BR>" + formName + "=" + fileName + ": Type= " + fileType + ":
Size= " + f.length();
     filecounter=filecounter+1;
Then after composing the mail message I send email with the form fields and file attachments using following code:
Properties props = new Properties();
MimeBodyPart mbp1 = new MimeBodyPart();
MimeBodyPart mbp2 = new MimeBodyPart();
MimeBodyPart mbp3 = new MimeBodyPart();
URLDecoder urlDecoder = new URLDecoder();
String to1 = urlDecoder.decode(toemail);
String from1 = urlDecoder.decode(fromemail);
String cc1 = urlDecoder.decode(ccemail);
props.put( "mail.host", host );
Session session1 = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
// Construct the message
Message msg = new MimeMessage( session1 );
msg.setFrom( new InternetAddress( from1 ) );
msg.setRecipients( Message.RecipientType.TO, InternetAddress.parse( to1, false ) );
msg.setRecipients( Message.RecipientType.CC, InternetAddress.parse( cc1, false ) );
msg.setSubject( subject );
msg.setHeader( "X-Mailer", "ExceptionErrorMail" );
msg.setSentDate( new Date() );
mbp1.setText(mail_message);
mbp1.setContent(mail_message, "text/html");
// Send the email message
FileDataSource fds = new FileDataSource(uploadDir + fileName);
FileDataSource fds2 = new FileDataSource(uploadDir + fileName2);
mbp2.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(fds));
mbp3.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(fds2));
mbp2.setFileName(fileName);
mbp3.setFileName(fileName2);
Multipart mp = new MimeMultipart();
mp.addBodyPart(mbp1);
mp.addBodyPart(mbp2);
mp.addBodyPart(mbp3);
msg.setContent(mp);
Transport.send( msg );
//email sent...
//delete the two files from the server..
File f2 =new File(uploadDir + fileName);
f2.delete();
File f3 =new File(uploadDir + fileName2);
f3.delete();
//End of code
So when I don't attach a file and submit my form , I get the error message that I mentioned in my previous post.
Any more ideas?
