Restore data from the Sparsebundle

I'm trying to restore data from my dead Time Capsule to a new iMac. I extracted the sparsebundle from the TC hard drive by plugging it into a Mac Pro. I don't want to have to buy a SATA casement. I have the sparsebundle from the TC hard drive on the iMac hard drive that I want to restore. Can I restore the data from the sparsebundle to the iMac without have it on an external hard drive? In other words, can I somehow point the migration assistant to the sparsebundle that is on the iMac hard drive?

Let it alone. No one can tell how long it will take as that is a function of your data.

I recently backed up my iPad and then I restored it to factory settings. Now, I want to restore it from the back up that I created, but it will not accept my Apple ID password. Is there any way that I can save my data?

Hi,
As I have said in the title, I was supposed to do a restore on my iPad for work. I backed up the device and then I restored it to factory settings as I was instructed. Now that all of that is complete, I tried to restore it from the back up point I created and it will not recognize my Apple ID password. I really hope that I won't lose all of my data, but I don't know what else to do. I have tried entering my password numerous times. I really hope that someone can help me.

Restoring an iPad from an iTunes-generated backup should not require an Apple ID password.
Did you encrypt the iPad backup? If so, then trying to restore will require entering the encryption password.

I used time machine to restore on a formatted MAC. Now the HDD space has reduced by 100GB but I cannot see any of the files. How do I find and delete those 100GB data from the HDD?

I created a new user account just to see if it was my user Library or if there was something wrong with my system. And the new user account is doing most of the same things so I will need to do a full restore anyway.
Not necessarily. I'd suggest downloading and installing the "combo" update. That's a combination (thus the clever name) of all the updates to Leopard since it was first released, so installing it should fix anything that's gone wrong since then, such as with one of the normal "point" updates.

Restoring Data from old phone to S III and getting Yahoo E-Mail to work on the Galaxy S III

I wanted to share some information on how to do a few things on the Galaxy SIII. After spending approximately 6 hours on the phone and On-Line Chat with Verizon Wireless Tech Support they told me the following things could not be done. Well FOR THE RECORD they CAN BE DONE!!!!!
Here is how to Back-up and Restore your Text, Picture and Video messages from your old phone to your new phone:
BEFORE you DEACTIVATE the OLD PHONE:
Make sure you have an External SD card in your old phone that will work in your new phone
Go to the Play Store and install Verizon Messages
Open the Verizon Messages program and click on Back-UP – ALL Text, Picture and Video messages will be backed-up. IF YOU GET A “SAVE CANCELLED” MESSAGE:
                     You may have to Back-up LARGE messages (with picture & Video content) individually.
                    You may also have to backup conversation threads 1 at a time if there are a large number of texts in that thread:
     *****Hopefully Verizon will fix AND INCREASE the LOW AMOUNT OF DATA ALLOWED AT 1 TIME ON THIS APP SOON*****
Once you have everything Backed Up on the External SD Card Remove the SD Card from the old phone and install it in the new phone
NOW ACTIVATE YOUR NEW GALAXY S III:
When you are in the Set-Up Wizard:
           If you are using Yahoo E-Mail and want it to be accessible by clicking on the E-Mail Icon
               DO NOT click on the Yahoo Mail Icon during the E-Mail Account Set-up portion of the Set-Up Wizard!!!
         Instead click on the Other E-Mail Icon and enter your Yahoo E-Mail accounts there – this will assure that the Yahoo E-Mail accounts will
               sync and update as they should AND be accessible by just clicking on the E-Mail Icon on your screen.
To Restore your data from the Old Phone to the New Phone After the Set-Up Wizard is completed:
Make sure you have the External SD card from your old phone installed in your new phone
Go to the Play Store and install Verizon Messages
Open the Verizon Messages program and click on Restore – IF YOU SEE 2 SD CARDS LISTED (ON MINE IT LISTED ExtSDCard and SDCARD0) you will have to copy EVERYTHING from the ExtSDCard to the SDCard0. Next Click on Restore again and ALL Text,
Picture and Video messages will be restored to your New Phone.
I HOPE THIS SAVES YOU ALOT OF AGGRAVATION AND FRUSTRATION WITH YOUR NEW GALAZY S III

What type of mail account is it?
POP, IMAP, etc?
When you got your new phone did you put on a backup of your old phone?
If POP, well POP works by keeping track of what it has downloaded or not. So if it got info from your last phone when you synced your new one, then it knows it already downloaded them, thus won't download them again (just how POP works).

HT201250 Circle and cross through iTunes icon afte the seagate hard drive replaced and restored data from time machine backup.

Circle and cross through iTunes icon: had the seagate hard drive replaced and restored data from time machine backup. Why does the iTunes icon have a circle and cross through it? As though incomplete? tried everything and still Circle and cross through iTunes icon.

No it isn't something you'd find on the computer, it has to be custom installed from the 10.6 installer disc or Software Update if it wasn't before. It allows you to use older PowerPC applications on your Mac. On the other hand double check the version of iTunes you have does not require 10.7 minimum either.

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.

I lost my iPhone 4S. Is it possible to restore the data from the 4S-Backup to my old 3S?S

Hello,
I lost my iPhone 4S. Is it possible to restore the data from the 4S-Backup to my old 3S? How can I do it?
Thank you very much.
:-) Michael

Thank you very much for this information.
I have the newest version of iOS 5.1.1 on my 3S. But I get the data from the last backup of my 3S. The programms are at the same level like the 4S.
Is it possible to get the data from Time Machine?

How to restore my data from the blackberry protect back up archive

Hi, my phone recently crashed, so I reloaded my OS & tried restoring my data from the blackberry protect app but noticed I could only restore from my last backup. I'd like to restore from another backup point in my archive & not my last. How do I go about it?

Only backups which are displayed can be restored to your phone. If you don't see any older ones, something might have gone wrong with the backups being loaded to the site. Perhaps you have an older backup done with BlackBerry Desktop Software which you could reload?
Cheers.
- If my response has helped you, please click "Options" beside my post and mark it as solved. Clicking the "thumbs up" icon near the bottom of my response would also be appreciated.

My PC Harddrive died along with all the CD's that I have saved to the Itunes library. My IPOD touch has the library still so I would like to send the data from the IPOD to the PC to restore my library. Is this possible?

Yes, by using a third-party utility such as Phone to PC or Phone to Mac.

HT201250 (1) Where is the "Time Machine menu" and the choice to "Enter Time Machine" (mentioned in the "Restoring data from Time Machine backups" section)?

1) Where do I find the "Time Machine menu" and the choice to "Enter Time Machine" (as mentioned in the "Restoring data from Time Machine backups" section in the Mac Support article "Mac Basics: Time Machine")?
2) How would I restore e.g. a particular photo from a backup I made with Time Machine? I can see how this is done with Word documents, but can't see how to do it with photos?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
1. The Time Machine icon is on the menu bar.
2. If you want to do that with individual photos, it's the same way as for documents. If you want to do it with iPhoto, you have to restore the whole iPhoto library, not only one photo

Can I restore the deleted statistical data from the database tables?

Hi all,
I have deleted the statistical data from the database tables like(Ex: RSDDSTAT, RSDDSTATWHM,..) by mistake through RSA1> Tools> BW Statistics for Infoproviders--> Delete.
Is there any way to restore the deleted data back? Thanks in advance.

Now I'm really confused-
Your first post said
"I have deleted the statistical data from the database tables like(Ex: RSDDSTAT, RSDDSTATWHM,..) by mistake through RSA1> Tools> BW Statistics for Infoproviders--> Delete."
but your last respsonse said
"I have deleted the BW Statistics data, not the actual data in RSDDSTAT tables through
RSA1 -> Tools -> BW Statistics for InfoProviders -> clicked 'Delete' bin to delete data."
If you used the RSA1 -> Tools -> BW Statistics for InfoProviders -> clicked 'Delete' - then you deleted the data from the RSDDSTAT tables. This assumes you accepted the default date range that would have popped up after the clicking on the Delete button which specified to delete thru the current date. If this is what you did, the data is gone. Your only hope is be to recover from a DB backup.
The data in the RSDDSTAT tables is what is used to feed the BW Statistics cubes, generally on a daily basis.

HT4859 If I got a new iPhone and backed up the data from the old one, it should show up once the new one is set up right? Does an "incomplete" status mean it did not back up and can not be restored to the new iPhone?

If I got a new iPhone and backed up the date from the old one, it should show up once the new one is set up right?
And does an "incomplete" status on iCloud mean it can't be restored to the new iPhone?
Help please

What I mean is still track my stolen one. I don't know if this will make sense to you but I'm thinking that if I restore the back up data on this phone..on my stolen phone it will like forget the icloud account or something and think this phone is the stolen one so when I go to track the stolen one, it will show that phone as the one I have now because I restored the back up from that phone.
