Select What You'd Like Restored?

I've got a copy of Final Cut Studio 2.0 arriving in a couple of days, and I'd like to install it on top of a fresh OS install (probably the paranoid former PC user in me).
My question is, using Time Machine, is it possible to restore just portions of your backup? My system has gotta really cruded up with stuff I no longer need (shareware, downloads, etc.) and I'd like to be able to do a fresh OS install, and then restore my emails, bookmarks, a few applications and some other things.
I've looked around, and I've found the question asked a few times, but never thoroughly answered.
Any help is much appreciated.

Yes you can. According to this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1177 you can use Migration Assistant to move backed-up info off of Time Machine back to a fresh install of the OS.

    You should be using either the Character or Paragraph Designers to select the required font and apply it using a style. Directly applying a font creates a formatting override and is not a recommended procedure.

  • Latest itunes version: how to select what you want transferred

    how can you select what to transfer from your mac via itunes to my iphone 4?
    I am lost in the new version of iTunes  10.11 and need to switch off the transfer of music to my iphone. how can i do that, so that it only transfers and syncs the email accounts etc.?

    First, the latest iTunes is version 11.0.1.  There is no iTunes version 10.11 as you indicate in your post above.
    If you're running iTunes 11.0.1, then you can see all the iPhone tabs just as you did before by clicking on the iPhone icon in the upper right when the iPhone is connected to iTunes.  Or if you would like the old appearance of iTunes with the sidebar, you can do View > Show Sidebar from iTunes' menu.
    You can select what does and does not get synched on the iPhone's tabs in iTunes just as before.  For example, if you don't want music synched, click the music tab in the upper right while in the iPhone area and uncheck "Sync music".

  • How Do You Print What OS X Renders and What You See Like the Lines on a Table on OpenOffice?

    Hi. How do you print what you OS X's graphics is rendering (what you see is what you get). I'm trying to print a calling card on OpenOffice Apache, latest but it would not print the guidelines (the lines when you use table, columns and rows) and it would only print the letters.
    Thank you in advance.
    God bless.

    If the lines are printing but they are too faint to see them easily, then there could be a rendering setting that could improve the line density.
    But if the lines are not at all visible then maybe the application is set not to print them. So check the Preferences or the printing options for OpenOffice? There might be a setting about the printing of gridlines.
    FYI - MS Excel has the gridlines disabled for printing but they can be enabled via the Excel print dialog.

  • HT204389 There used to be a little microphone icon in a text message that you could press and it would allow you to speak what you'd like to text and then it would write it into that text message.  That icon disapeared a few weeks back.  How can i get it

    There used to be a small microhone icon while writing a text message which allowed you to speak the text you'd like then it would type it for you in the message.  I didnt have to use Siri, the icon was right in the text box itself.  That icon disapeared a few weeks ago.  Anyone have an idea how to get it back???

    Hi Grumpy_MoFo,
    Thank you for posting. Having read you post, I do think it will be unlikely that we will be able to get you this MP3 player. This is due to the length of time that has pass from this was on offer. I would still like to look into this for you. Please could you email [email protected] with you BT account detail, please also include a link to this thread.
    I will look into this and reply to you directly.

  • What happened to print preview and the ability to select what you want to print?

    I've tried all of the suggestions and still no print preview.

    Does this also happen if you use the Print items in the file menu?
    *Tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu bar.
    Does anything open at all?
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Need 'What You Hear' recording option for Notebook(Vista)-Does Xi-Fi for Notebooks provide th

    Hi,
    I have an Audigy sound card on a Dell desktop and it has the "What You Hear" recording option within Vista. I need the same option for my Dell Notebook, unfortuntately, this notebook uses a Sigmatel card within the motherboard. What device or application to i need to buy in order to get the "What you Hear" recording option to be available?
    What am i attempting to do?I often record li've webcasts in which the video portion comes through a Li've Meeting or Lotus Same time application using a Screen Recording Application?BUT the Audio comes from a conference which i use a VoIP software to dial into. I need to be able to record the sound that's been generated through my computer as an internal source. I need to be able to select 'What You Hear' as the default recording device so that the screen recording application i use can also record the audio been played through the PC?Appreciate any help here. Thanks?Kevin

    If it'sis not a Creative card, "what u hear" will be called something different. Maybe "stereo mix" or something else. The device just records anything coming from the soundcard. Play around and see if you don't have something similar to "what u hear" with a different name.

    I got a "new" iphone from the Apple store when my dog bit the phone and cracked the front.  This new phone will not play any music, ie no sound will come out.  I can watch videos with sounds but no music from any of my playlists.  I checked with Apple and was told to try to restore my iphone.  I did all the necessary prep work like backing up and syncing and then hit the restore button on the iTunes page.  A file menu icon popped up with a blank in it and I do not know what file I need to put in the window as where it needs to find a file to restore the phone.  I never got a message that said are you sure you want to restore the phone.  I need some help if anyone knows how to do this or should I just go back to the Apple store (which is over an hour away)?  Thanks

    I am syncing my iphone to my iTunes account and then I do a backup and also making sure all updates are current.  Then by going to the my phone and then going to the right and selecting the restore my iphone.

    I have copied many photo's from another laptop to my Mac.  The older photo's are in directories with names that help me select what I need to view. I would like to have all my imported new photo's also bee added to the directory structure I have in Finder but my new photo's are all in iPhoto.  I want to use directories for storing and iPhoto for viewing.  Is this possible or do I need to have all my photo's in iPhoto??
    Mitch

    iPhoto is not a Photo Viewer. It's a Photo Manager and designed for looking after the files while you organise the Photos. It really works much better if you let it manage those files. If you use iPhoto you never go near those files because iPhoto is your start point for anything you want to do with your Photos - the point of the pplication.
    You can run iPhoto in Referenced mode, where it does not copy the files to the Library, but I caution you that you are making life a lot more difficult for yourself by doing that.
    How to, and some comments on why you shouldn't, are in this thread

  • What do you NOT like about Oracle Portal?

    Using a theme from a post on AskTom, I thought I would start one that details what customers don't like about Portal.
    I've got a few:
    PPE
    When load balancing, it forces us to use NAT in the load balancer. Extra configuration, extra time, etc.
    Java or MOD_PLSQL?
    Mod_plsql has been around for a long time. It is robust and stable but a simple Dad for Portal is a mix of Java and Mod_plsql. It is not nearly as clean and stable as a mod_plsql application.
    SSO
    SSO should be part of the middle tier, not the Infrastructure. It just adds another hop and another thing to manage.
    PTLConfig
    ssoreg is for SSO registration of Partner applications. Easy enough. But wait, it doesn't work for Portal. You have to run ptlconfig for it.
    SSL configuration
    Wow, what a pain. A Java application or Mod_plsql application is easy to configure for SSL. Not true with Portal.
    OC4J Portal In Process
    Showing the status with opmnctl won't show in-process things like Portal. It can only be seen in OEM.
    Explicit Path
    In the HTML Portal generates, it has the full path to everything. I tried just changing the hostname in the httpd.conf file but that doesn't work either. We used setup.exe OUI_HOSTNAME= to change the host name of an install which works ok. When using multiple middle tiers, you have to use the real host name for each server and then use a VirtualHost all because Portal uses the full path instead of a relative path.
    Migration of code
    Portal doesn't really support the idea of multiple environments which every large company (which is a big part of Oracle's customer base) uses. Migrating a page group with all content from Test to QA isn't something built in like it should be.
    I've got some more complaints about Forms, Reports, Discoverer, and SSO but this is just about opportunities for Portal.

    heh. why so negative?
    what about a thread about what you LIKE about Portal :-)
