How do I restore my iphoto library from backup

Hi,
I'm trying to find instructions on restoring my iPhoto library from a backup that is not based on Time Machine. I have an external hard drive with the entire user folder information which includes all the photos. I'd like to know if I should delete current file and replace with the backup, or something else?
Thanks much!

The risk free way to do it is to drag the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the Back Up to your Desktop.
Then open it and check it:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
If it's all there and working correctly, then - and only then - delete the one currently in your Pictures Folder.
Regards
TD

What happens if I restore my new iPhone from backup but keep the old phone on?

I currently have an iPhone 5 and have the 6+ on the way. I'm worried about the size of the 6+ so I'd like to test it out for the 14 day period. If I set up the 6 by restoring from iCloud backup can I still keep my 5 up and running. I wasn't planning on transferring my cell service over to the 6 yet and just running off wifi. Obviously iTunes is going to see both phones as being the same device so that would cause a problem but what if I left wifi sync and iCloud backup on the 6 off. Would this setup work? Thanks in advance.

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.

TS4036 what if i only want to restore my contact list from backup

what if i only want to restore my contact list from backup

Welcome to the Apple community.
Firstly, you cannot selectively restore content from your iCloud backup. Secondly, your contacts are not part of your iCloud backup.

When I restore my IPAD 2 from backup, I lost all Emails. what to do?

Following instruction I restore and reload my Ipad2. Everything seems OK but all emails were gone. Is there a way to recover? This give me no confident that everything can be restore after a hardware failure.

Who said everything can be restored when restoring from the backup?
Email account settings are included with the iPad's backup, but email account mailboxes and messages are not.
Move into the 21st century with email account access - stop using a POP account.
With an IMAP account, all server stored mailboxes and messages remain on the server and will not be lost when deleting and recreating the account if needed, which is what is done when restoring an iOS device from the device's backup. Email accounts are deleted and recreated when doing so.

You can restore control file by specifying the path explicitly.
-- In the auxillary server
Make sure you have the CONTROL_FILES parameter in the pfile. The control files will be restored to this path
*.control_files='+LMNPROD_DG01/lmnprod/lmnprod_control01.ctl','+LMNPROD_DG01/lmnprod/lmnprod_control02.ctl','+LMNPROD_DG01/lmnprod/lmnprod_control03.ctl'Create spfile from pfile. Then
SQL> conn / as sysdba
Connected to an idle instance.
SQL> startup nomount
SQL> show parameter spfileStep5. Restore Control file
The below command will create all the 3 control files mentioned in CONTROL_FILES parameter in the spfile.
$ rman target /
restore controlfile from '/path_where_bkp_piece_is_stored/RMAN_CURRENT_CONTROL_BACKUP_0mnbvhlq_1_1.bak';After restoring the control file and mounting the DB , you can use CATALOG command to catalog backup pieces

Restore groups and contacts from backup

I seem to have lost all my addressbook information, ie addressbook is blank. I do have a recent clone of my mac. How do I go about restoring all my groups / contacts back into addressbook using either my clone or time machine?

The bookmarks are kept in a file called Bookmarks.plist contained in ~user/Library/Safari. Copying this plist from your backup will also restore the bookmarks you added to the Bookmarks bar. If you customized the buttons on the toolbar, then in Safari go to View > Customize Address Bar and you can drag any of the buttons onto the toolbar.

Restore bookmarks and toolbar from backup

I recently had to re-install my OS X software and other applications onto my Powerbook. Before doing so, I copied the entire hard drive onto an external hard drive. I now want to go back and transfer my bookmarks and items that I had added to the Safari toolbar from the backup except I don't know where they reside. Any assistance where these files would be located would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Time Machine backup did not restore office suite app from backup

I recently restored to my internal HD from a Time Machine backup.
I had not done a Time Machine restore before, so I did not attempt to customize the restore -- that is, I just accepted the default behavior after selecting the source disk.
I've since found that Time Machine does not seem to have backed up a third party office suite I had been using on my MacBook Pro or a file I had saved to my hard drive from that app. Perhaps I'll find that other files were also not restored.
Does anyone have any idea why those would have been missed in the restore?
Also, given the situation I’m now in would it be best to just download the app and start from scratch? I don’t know how one manually restores an already-installed app (i.e., from its backup), given the many different files that are usually created in many different locations when an app is installed from its original 'package' file.
Thanks.

Delayed response, sorry. What I meant to ask there was how one can navigate quickly to the window that (hopefully) has what one is looking for.
E.g., if I don't recall anything else about a file than its name (& hopefully I remember that well enough to get a search hit from it -- its own kind of problem since a filename misspelling can end you up with no hits), how to locate the desired file quickly -- i.e., without paging through lots of Finder windows.
Any further advice about how to do that?
Maybe I'm misunderstanding how to do this in Time Machine, but the Finder window cascade seems to me like having a file cabinet full of folders, any of which might have the desired file.
Thanks again.

Opening old ical from backup

I had backed up my computer onto an external & then created a new profile on my computer; which I have been using for several months.
I have synced my iPhone several times and added events to iCal, etc, however, I tried to open the iCal I have on my external and try to get them to sync together; but I keep getting the "You can't use this version of the application iCal with this version of Mac OS X You have iCal 4.0.4"
I REALLY want my old events from the old iCal on my external; can anyone help?!

Hi,
The calendar data is stored in your User profile in ~/Library/Calendars in OSX 10.5.
The following solution does not take into account any syncing issues and as a precaution I'd suggest you make a backup using the option in iCal's File menu and then turn syncing off on any synced calendars before you do the following.
After closing iCal replace the '~/Library/Calendars' folder with your earlier backup and delete the 'calendar cache' file. When you open iCal it should rebuild the cache, which may take a few minutes.
Best wishes

HELP - Restore BB Messenger Conversation from Backup?

Hi All,
I have been having a conversation in Messenger that has suddenly turned out to be very legally important, and I now desperately need to document that conversation. If I don't have some sort of proof of what was said, it could cause quite a few problems for me.
I need to document about 5 days worth of the conversation, but I only had about 3 days viewable in the device. I back up and sync my device to my desktop frequently, so I have backups within the time frame that I need, but when I try to restore the database files for messenger, the conversations are totally gone!
Also, when the restore process failed for the older messenger db, I tried to restore to the latest backup (which I made just a few minutes ago), and even that one is giving me nothing - no conversations whatsoever!
What's up with this? Am I doing something wrong, or does RIM just not think it's worth a few kb of storage on my pc to backup the messenger conversations when I do a manual backup of my entire device?
I'm kind of freaking out, too, cuz everything I read on this forum and others talks about restoring the app, or restoring contacts, but I can't find a single thread that talks about restoring conversations.
I have only a partial backup of the stuff that was on my device an hour ago, and I can't even get that stuff loaded back on now.
Please tell me I'm not totally screwed.

Use the IPD backup file with a PC application like ABC Amber IPD Extractor or MenaStep's Magic Berry to extract the IPD file and get the information you need from the back up.

How to restore ipad2 ios 7 from backup

I have an ipad2 which I backed up on my computer. I copied all files from Itunes folder and ipad2 folder. Also did a backup using itunes. I have the iPad2,2 7.2 Restore.ipsw somewhere in my computer. Is there a way to restore my ios 7 (getting rid of the miserably non-functional ios8) from my backup? If so, how can I find it in my computer? what is the step by step restore procedure? Do I need to turn off wifi in order to get the ipsw to take? Or do I need to restore to factory settings, and then "update" to 7.2? How would I do that? Please help! I've spent the last ten days trying to figure this out and am about to turn my once beloved ipad 2 into a man-made reef (deep, deep in the ocean!).

Sorry, Apple does not support the downgrading of the iOS.
Even if you managed to find it on your computer, when your try to validate the install with iTunes it won't work because Apple only signs the current iOS.
I know iOS8 can take come getting used to, if you'd like to start another thread with our issues perhaps people here can suggest things that will help.

Desktop manager 7.1 fails to restore Contacts and Calendar from backups

Today I discovered that I lost my contact and calendar lists on my playbook after upgrading to OS version 2.1.0.1032.
As a precaution I backed up my device data and apps using desktop manager 7.1 and used windows explorer to duplicate my media folder using the Z:drive option before I started the OS upgrade.
Since I learned how to deal with lost device data and apps on my BB smart phone I was confident that I could apply this knowledge to my Playbook too, just in case something happened.
Well, something happened. My PlayBook backup file became a trap even so the desktop manager manual said: “To restore all your smartphone data or tablet data, click All device data and settings.”
If one ‘thinks’ the phone learning curve can be applied to the Playbook one is doomed as I found out today. The PlayBook backup function for the contact and calendar listing behaves differently than for the BB phone. There is no warning in Desktop Manager 7.1 which says: “This backup file excludes contact and calendar data files which were manually built by the user and are not part of a synced email server”.
So this posting is about letting other users know to be aware of some OS 2.1.0.1032 short comings. If your contact and/or calendar list was manually built, i.e. it was not linked to an email account you might encounter the above issue.
When I noticed that my contact and calendar file did not sync with my email account I started to use my contact list for everything useful to remember not just contacts. There were many extra fields available in the PlayBook contact list which could not be matched with the limited fields found in other synced contact lists. So I built a big ‘Good to Know’ file with all kinds of info hoping that one day I could use it also with BB10.
Unfortunately this OS version wiped my contact and calendar lists which none of the other OS updates were able to do and the ‘Restore’ option via desktop manger 7.1 did not work!!!. So it looks like some engineering wizard at RIM is trying to upset the non-linked contact list users with this release version.
I hope RIM finds this ‘group of moles(?)' and deals with these engineers before they can do anymore damage. Remember RIM, the object is to enjoy new updates not to fear them. It would be nice if desktop manager 7.2 would alert us users with a warning or lets us export these files via another tip like: “How can I back up contact and calendar files for the PlayBook“. I realize as of today that this problem was with me all along but came only to light after this OS release wiped my 2 lists completely. There is also no hint in the PB or Desktop user manuals!
For the time being I will use only my phone’s contact and calendar lists via the bridge as a work around but I hope the responsible RIM manager reads this postings and tells his engineers to go forward not backwards. Tell them to include a backup feature for non-linked contact and calendar data in 7.2. Not everybody has linked data files or if this is RIM’s intention then let us users know upfront that one could loose his/her data.
If you ‘liked’ this posting click the ‘Thumb up’ box near by even so this issue has no solution at this point in time. Let’s hope RIM deals with this issue eventually.

Restore iTunes genius data from backup

Hi, I turned off genius in iTunes, didn't really think it through and am debating turning it on again. I have mirror backups of my library and would like to know if its safe to just restore the library to its old self rather than manually turning on genius and waiting a long time for the results. I'm assuming its safe though deleting the genius data seems to take much longer than expected and I'm wondering whether there is more to it than just a simple restore.
Thanks

No. Contact the app developer to see what the issue is.
