System restore but no need to restore external HD

I need to do a full restore from my Time Capsule (going to boot from Leopard install DVD, re-format internal drive and restore from Time Capsule).
How will the restore work with my external drive that I use for Movies? This external drive does not need to be restored, but is backed up along with my boot disk to the Time Capsule. When it comes time to restore, will Time Machine only restore the files to my newly erased and formatted internal HD, and ignore files in its back up that were from the other drive, or will it try and restore those too? If it does try and restore them, will it look for my external drive or will it chuck everything onto one drive?

yes. full system restore utility on the leopard install DVD restores the system drive only. all other drives have to be restored separately while booted normally using TM interface.
or will it try and restore those too?
no.
If it does try and restore them, will it look for my external drive or will it chuck everything onto one drive?

  • How can I restore my data from iCal? I didn't make any backup, but I use  time machine with an external HD. I deleted iCal when I deleted my gmail account. I have tried to restore, but I can only restore the iCal software and not the data.

    So what is your question?
    If you forgot your encryption password:
    Warning: Make sure it's a password you will remember or write it down for safekeeping. If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and forget your password, you can't restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable.
    If you can't remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and chooseset up as a new device when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore.
    The above comes from here:

    I am setting up an iPhone 5. I selected "set up as a new phone" but now need to restore from iTunes back up. How do I access the appropriate screen in the iPhone 5 which I am setting up?

    The phone answered this for me - when I connected the iPhone5 to my computer it gave me a choice which included "restore from backup". Problem solved

  • I restored, but I need an AC adapter.

    My Ipod did not come with an AC adapter, but i had to restore it. After I finished restoring I got that icon that tells me I need to plug my Ipod into the AC adapter, but I dont have one. All I have is the usb cable that plugs it in to my Ibook. So now it is stuck there and i tried the Menu/Select reset thing and nothing seems to work.
    What can I do?
    Thanks in advance.

    Basically, you need to plug it in to the AC power adapter at this point.
    All 4G iPods came with one... and they are required for a restore.
    Do you know of anyone who could lend you an AC adapter?
    Otherwise, you'll need to buy one. They're sold almost everywhere nowadays.

    It isn't an issue if you still have the backup, either on your computer or in the iCloud. You cannot restore to a backup that you have deleted.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen                         
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

    Hello calthelly,
    Thank you for providing all the information about the issue you are experiencing with iTunes.  I found an article that addresses the specific error, "iTunes could not contact the iPod software update server because you are not connected to the Internet. Make sure your Internet connection is active and try again:" 
    iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server

  • After a crash, I reinstalled FF, but it looks different. Bookmarks button will not stay on the screen. Thus, I cannot get to the Library, or Restore. I need to restore Bookmarks from external hard drive. I found backups but how does Firefox find them?

    I have found 2 versions of my old bookmarks in my backed up data. One is under Owner/AppData/Local.../bookmarkbackup/bookmarks-2011-10-13 , etc. The other is under Firefox Profile/Cache/E7C5F7B4d01. I don't find these places in the new Firefox program just installed.

    Have you tried to drag the folder that contains your music files. Locate the folder, while iTunes is open, drag the folder to the Library icon, this may help.

  • Upgrade to iOS4, now needs Restored but wont let me restore! (Err 21?)

    Hi there,
    I hope someone can help as the Apple line is closed and I am travelling with my 7 week old son to Ireland tomorrow and at present have no phone!
    I started to Sync my iPhone 3GS as usual and was asked to update to iOS4. No problem. Downloaded then iTunes started to do its thing with my iPhone. A few mins later an error message arrived that a duplicate file existed.
    Tried to sync again but this time it would only let me press Restore. In my summary page on iTunes all note of my serial number, phone number etc were coming up as N/A.
    On pressing restore, it tries extracting software, verifying with Apple, prepares ihone to restore then says:
    The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error ocurred(21).
    From here it just takes me to a link saying update itunes if necessary, restart pc etc. baasically your usual options which have not helped.
    I travel in 10 hours, cannot get to an Apple store before this and will have to fly without a phone to another country. Can anyone help with this problem? Many thanks

    Maybe try this. Check this thread or search with keyword "duplicate file" under iphone.

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602
    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.

  • My iPhone 4S kept trying to reboot yesterday while in normal use.  Now it is telling me to connect to iTunes to restore but it will not restore, I get error code 4013.

  • Someone changed the password to my ipod touch and does not remember what she changed it to. I have been doing reseach on restoring but it says that restoring will delete all data. I don't have any of my photos and songs backed up. What should i do?

    So i don't know the password to my ipod and it's disbled. i also don't have a computer. What should i do? Is there a possible way i could unlock my ipod without losig=ng anything?

    You maybe able to get the photos off the iPod by:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    You will have to then restoe the iPod via iTunes. It may be necessary to place the iPod in Recovery mode to allow the restore.

    I have an iPhone 5S, with iOS 8.1.2  I am trying to do a system restore but the message I get on the desktop is that there is not enough room on the iPhone. How much room is required?
    I had an important app. (Memos by bluemarblesoftware.com) that I accidentally deleted. It of course had many memos, some with quite a lot of information. I did sync my phone on a regular basis and I think the memos should be on the desktop computer. I tried to do a restore function but I got a message saying there was not enough room on the iPhone. How much room is needed?

    generally you need 1.90gb
    what you can do is back up your phone to your computer before doing the update, just as a precaution.
