Restore Files & App's From Damaged Start-Up Disk (10.4) to New Disk (10.5)

I appreciate any help all of you can give me. This is kind of a weird one, so I'll try and be brief. I have a G5 that had problems with a malfunctioning start-up disk. I purchased a new hard drive and went to install 10.4 and found that it was an upgrade disk, not an original install disk. As the computer had a former owner, I originally purchased it and all of its software from him but evidently I only got the 10.4 Upgrade disk from him, not the full install. I have since purchased Leopard and installed it on the new start-up disk. Diskwarrior and Disk Utility will both allow me to open my old disk in a read-only manner, but I'm wondering now if there is an easy way to move all of my app's, files, email's, etc. over to the new disk.
I did partition the disk so that I could make an image and copy over the old disk to the new partitioned volume, but since it would then have a copy of 10.4 on it will this cause issues with my start-up volume running 10.5? Will my app's run alright under Leopard? What about running the files from that disk? Also since I had directory issues, I'm worried that by making an image and copying to the new one I may create more issues (Diskwarrior would not replace the old directory due to a disk malfunction).
I could reinstall most of the app's (include Final Cut Studio, Adobe After Affects, etc.) but I'm just not looking forward to going through each one individually. Also, is there an easy way to copy over my user files (doc's, email's, etc.) from that old drive?
The biggest thing is I just don't want to screw up the new drive and install. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Did you do the Super Duper clone before you tried to reinstall the OS? If so, the original install disc is likely earlier than 10.4.11, and that may be why you are getting the message.
When trying to reinstall the OS, did you select the "Archive and Install" option? If not, you might try that. Here's a link that might help:

Good luck!

To restore from an iCloud backup you have to erase the phone and start over. To do this, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go through the setup assistant again and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup. There is no other way to do this.
Be sure you phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this is likely to take some time to finish.

How do I export apps from my iPhone to my iMac? I received notice that there is an update now for the iOS in my iPhone, but that I first needed to transfer some files (apps?) from the iPhone to my iMac. But I cannot find anything in the Help menu on this.

How do I export items from my iPhone to my iMac? Apple sent me a message to my iPhone, saying that there is an update for iOS, to 6.1.3, but before I install this update, I should first transfer some items from the iPhone to my iMac; otherwise I would lose these items (apps?)
I have two problems with this: 1) I don't know what files I should transfer, and 2) I don't how to transfer from an iPhone to an iMac (but do know how to download apps from iTunes Store to my iMac, and then to my iPhone.
Very confusing! Any help/suggestions gratefully accepted.

How can i use my files(apps,media) from my main os to another os in one mac?

When yosemite was released, i was excited to install it but the problem is that i don't want my main os to be compromised because i think that yosemite is kinda new and it's only 10.0 version and Dota 2 does not work on Yosemite and it's very unstable according to Steam forums and many other sites. My main OSX is still mountain lion and the only os x version that makes dots 2 stable. What i did is I partitioned my hard drive into two one for my main os and one for yosemite. Now i have two os x on my macbook pro. Now the problem is i don't want to install Logic Pro X again and re-download many samples and stuff. When i open the finder in Yosemite, i can see my mountain lion disk where all my files located at? Can i use those files without copying it because my yosemite disk is only 40 gb and my projects and sample audios is 60 gb and open apps from that disk to yosemite? Thanks. Sorry for the long text. I just want to give you the background.

If you live near an Apple Store, make a Genius Bar appointment to have the computer tested. Supposedly there is no charge for testing. They can also give you an estimate.

How can I simply restore lost app data from iCloud, without resetting all content. Please someone!!!

I accidentally deleted a timesheet app from my iPhone, I reinstalled the app again but the data did not come back with it. Can someone help me with details how I can restore my lost data for just that app, from iCloud. iCloud is and was set up on my phone and was updated 3 days before this happened. People have suggested I "reset all content and setting" and it will come back. The sounds of deleting all content on my phone worries me. I have no other devices to back up on, so my only back up is in "iCloud"
Is there a simple way I can download and reinstall just the data for the app from iCloud?

Delete all content and settings will wipe your phone. You cannot selectively restore in iTunes or iCloud, it is either all or none. You would have to restore to a backup before you deleted the app to be able to recover the data. However, anything that you did since that time would be lost.

Java 7 Update 25 Client App Downloaded From Web Start Can't Connect Out

Since Java 7 update 25, I have an issue where my client Java application, downloaded with Java Web Start, can no longer connect to a remote server. (The client uses remote EJB to connect various servers). The issue I believe is that the client application is being blocked by security features of this Java update.
A very quick (random?) fix around the problem is to show the Java console. If the Java console is enabled to be shown, the client application can connect fine.
Although showing the Java console is a quick fix, it's not one we particularly want to keep asking customers to do. I understand we may need to define the Codebase and Permissions in the manifest file as described here: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/jweb/no_redeploy.html..
I have defined the Codebase and Permissions in the manifest of the client jar's we build ourselves. I believe this has worked as we no longer see "Missing Codebase manifest attribute for...." in the console for our own jar's. However, the application still cannot connect out. I'm stumbling around somewhat on this issue and trying various things in an attempt to get this to work. Assuming i'm on the right lines and the problem is some jars missing the Codebase and Permissions in their manifests, my question is, should I and how can I modify the manifest of 3rd party jars to include this information? For example, the client app requires many JBoss and EJB client jars - do I need to somehow modify the manifest of all of these jars to include the codebase and permissions?
It goes without saying that all the jars are signed - the application would not start at all if there was a problem here. So the application starts with it's login box - but it simply cannot connect out to the servers.
If anybody can offer any help on this issue i'd be most grateful. As a quick fix, is there a way to get this to work via adjusting Control Panel settings (other than showing the console)? I have played with a lot but not stumbled on a way to get this to work other than showing the console, although ideally i'd like to be able to get this to work without having to do any tweaks to clients Java control panel.

We're also seeing this. The 7u25 update completely derailed a trial program we were conducting, because no one could log in to our application via WebStart once they upgraded Java.
Our login code crashes because SwingUtilities.isEventDispatchThread() throws an NPE.
We tried theskad81's fix but it didn't work for us. We worked around the issue by hosting u21 on our site and pointing our WebStart page there instead of at Oracle's update site.

Restore files to HD from iPod

In the process of upgrading to WIN7 and loading a new iPod, I had my files perfectly transferred and organized. I then went to copy the HD files to an external for a backup copy and lost a huge chunk of music! Can I copy the files on the iPod and paste them back onto the new laptop or an external?

Not sure how you lost music, or how you did this
+I then went to copy the HD files to an external for a backup copy and lost a huge chunk of music!+
You can try a 3rd-party ipod manager program. This is an old list, but will give you a start on researching it

Retrieving/restoring in app purchases from magazine no longer in app store

Hi
I purchased three issues of a magazine that no longer exists in the app store. I recently went to reread them and they are gone; I had downloaded them to my iPad. I would like to learn how to get them back. iTunes and PixelMags have not been helpful; the publisher has not written back. I regularly backup my iPad and so perhaps the magazines are there somewhere?
Any ideas? Thank you.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Moving files,apps,etc. from iMac8.6 to a Mini

Is this possible? I am trying to upgrade a friends computer from
a iMac 8.6 to a Mini 10.4 and wonder if this is possible the way
I transported files from my G3 to my G4 powerbooks, through firewire?
Put on discs and transport that way?etc.

As said in the other thread where you posted, there are a few ways you can copy material off one system an onto another. The most popular is Firewire Target Disk Mode (as explained here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583) but not all systems can run that way. The mini can, but you need to check that document to see if the specific model of iMac is listed.
If not, then you can copy files etc off using CD if you have a suitable burner the iMac (and version of MacOS) will support, or other media such as Zip or Jazz if these are available, or via ethernet, though this isn't so easy if the iMac is running an earlier version of MacOS that OS X.
In the other thread you mentioned AppleWorks - which will run on a new Mac mini but can't actually be installed on it since the installer requires OS 9/Classic. Thusly, if you have a working copy of AppleWorks 6, you would have to copy the application itself over and it will run in OS X. AppleWorks 5 won't.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106657 explains the basics from the iMac end of ethernet file sharing once you have a simple patch cable to connect the two systems.

My old MacBook Pro crashed before I could back up my iTunes. How can I restore all my music from that computer to my iTunes on my new computer?

My old MacBook Pro (2007) crashed on me before I had backed up all of my music on my iTunes to another source (my iPod has also crashed so I cannot use the iPod to sync all my music). I now have a new Windows 8 laptop and have downloaded iTunes onto it with my Apple ID. Is there any way for me to recover all of my songs from my old iTunes account and put them in my new iTunes? I had thousands of songs and would like to recover them if possible. Is the only way to do this by getting an external hard drive and paying someone to get all that information off my crashed computer onto the external hard drive?
Thanks in advance for your help!

You can transfer songs that you didn't buy from the iTunes store but it requires third party software such as Suneti. This is one of the best programs I know for the task and unfortunately I'm not aware of any freeware programs that transfer music from an iOS device to the computer.

How to move all app data from one user to another? (One mac)

Hi. I've been having this problem for a while. So recently, I've made a new account for myself, since I was using my mom's user account. I don't want to keep all of my files, emails, and icloud on her user, since it's used by everyone in my family. I use iMail now because hotmail blocked my email because "Someone hacked me" and they kept it locked for all these months, and I can't give enough proof to show it was mine, since I forgot every email I've sent now.
And iMail is pretty cool, adding your own rules and stuff. Except you don't need a password to log in. I just deactivate my iMail via system preferences as a log-out, and then re-activate it as a log-in.
So, back to the question.
How can I move ALL app data from my mom's user account to my new one? Her acount also has pictures of our germany vacation. So not every file.
You see, I game on my mac mostly because steam is really complicated, using internet just to play a game that doesn't need internet and stuff.
And steam doesn't have a lot of casual games.
So I want to move my game data, save files and every little piece of application info that my games have on my mom's account to mine. I've asked this question on Yahoo answers, and all I got was an answer of "File IS data, or datum itself, You are wrong. I cannot give you an answer." -.-
I'm not experienced with terminal either, so I'll need a ton of explanation of how to use it if that's how it can be done. It really really confuses me and I'll just give up.
Thanks in advance.
