Will Time Machine preserve my dock and the app that were added in it?
I want to restore my operating system (Mavericks) and I made a backup with Time Machine... But I don't know if time machine will preserve all my customs, for example the applications that I added in my dock or the favorites from Finder and so on... If not, than a restore is not a good alternative
Time Machine preserves everything! All files and settings are retained, including dock layouts.

I recently updated a friends iPhone 3 to I cloud , however some contacts have disappeared. These seem to be the ones that were added onto her phone and not her sim. As I have done a sim import. This is the first time she has ever done a back up and sync.
This information will explain it:

i and my brother have different apple id's but are using the single itunes library on our home PC.When i am syncing my iphone most of the times the apps that were purchased with my brothers apple id is also getting on my iphone.
How do i differentiate the apps that were purchased with my apple id and sync accordingly.As i want only the apps that were purchased in my apple id.
I am aware of the fact that i can click on the app and check with "getinfo" to see with whose apple id it is brought.but there are hundreds app which i cannot check one by one.
How do i filter the apps with apple id and sync?Connect the device to the computer.
Open iTunes.

Running my 3rd generation iPad on iOS 7.0.4, I saturated all the available iPad screen space (which would be the 15 home screens or desktop worth of space) with apps, and the apps that got bumped out of the last screen space mysteriously disappeared. Where are those missing quick lauch app icons now? The apps are still installed and can be searched/accessed through the finder, but they no longer have a user friendly access. How can I solve this problem?

Hi Hexonxonx, thanks for trying to help, but next time please read the entire discussion, in oder to better comprehend what is being asked. The reason being is that your answer added nothing to what had already been mentioned.
Like I said, I was aware it was possible to access the apps through the finder, but the question revolved around how to recover the quick launch app icons for certain vanished apps.
Wow, kind of a snotty response to someone who was taking their own time to offer help. Whether you thought it was helpful or not, didn't deserve such an unkind retort. Maybe when you realize we all just users here trying to help others like you, who have issues and we don't get anything in return for the countless hours some people here spend offering that assistance, you'll maybe be a little less quick to be critical.
Just sayin.......
Oh and Meg offered the right answer. Put your Apps in Folders, which will create extra space for the apps which have disappeared. -
I am in Brazil and the APP that I want to buy is available just in US Apple Store. How can I do to buy this app?, I am in Brazil and the APP that I want to buy is available just in US Apple Store. How can I do to buy this app?
You would have to move to the U.S. and find a place to live. Then you would have to get a credit card billed to that U.S address. Then, as long as you were inside the borders of the U.S., you could buy from the U.S store.

Before I downloaded the iOS 7 upgrade I could turn off the apps that were running in the background by double clicking the bottom button to bring up the apps. I would hold down on 1 app, X's would appear on each and then I could close them. How Now?

Because my first response would be....Oh, sure.....
Because I am sorry you are having a hassle with the intenet. There is nothing more frustruating than having to deal with a slow response, or a makeshift connection....hope it gets fixed soon!!!

I updated to Mavericks yesterday and since then, my computer has been exceedingly slow!
Windows and applications take forever to open. I get the spinning pinwheel of death every few minutes.
The notes that were in the email app. are gone! where are they?!The notes are in the Notes application. Restart the computer and see whether there's an improvement in performance.

My time machine hard drive has stopped working after the latest update and the Disk Utilities says,:
Error: Disk Utility can’t repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files."
How can I back up my files before reformatting when I can't even open the drive's folder?
Thanks for the help.I think my time machine is not working correctly and I dont know how to get it back... I really need to get back my photos!!!!!
Exactly this was the way I USED to make restores of files and photos..
but know I CANT!!!!
When I am inside iPhoto y click on the Time Machine icon at the Dock and it goes to this...
at my right side there are the backups but when i click them nothing happens they are like NOT CLICKABLE...
PLEASEE!!! Help me!! -
Time Machine, External Hard drive, and the Windows Partition
Is it possible for me to back up my mac with Time machine, and also back up my windows partition on the same HD? I just got the External HD today, so I'm very new at this. Thanks for your help.
Time machine does not work with windows drives.
however the way I have backed up my bootcamp partition is to use diskutility to make a dmg of the windows partition. I then only make regular backups of my user account on the windows partition.
You could partition the new external drive and make 1 partition hfs+ and the other fat32. Then when booted into windows it will see the fat32 partition on the external drive. Then you can carry out backups from within windows to that partition.
Timemachine will backup your mac partition with no problems. -
Time Machine backing up fine but the app won't launch
Hi all,
I've been able to set up Time Machine with an external WD 120GB FW disk, and it appears to be backing up fine - the 'backupdb' folder exists on the HD and the TM system preference pane shows last backup date etc.
However, try as I might I cannot get the actual application to launch. I right-click on the dock icon and click 'show Time Machine', I click on it form the Applications folder - nothing. There is no bouncing icon and no 'error -43' that others have reported.
I can't see anything in system.log that might indicate that it is attempting to launch and fails.
Is anyone aware of an issue that would stop TM from launching at all?
Thanks in advanceDear all
I discovered what was preventing Time Machine from launching.
I use Cocoatech's PathFinder as a Finder replacement. It is set to close the Finder at launch. With out the Finder running, Time Machine cannot run. Backups still work fine (as I discovered to my great relief when my HDD recently died) but the browsing app will not launch without Finder.
So, if you use PathFinder and need to open TimeMachine.app, just relaunch the Finder in order to do so.
Hope this helps someone.

I wiped my Mid 2009 MBP and decided not to restore from time machine backups but now I need access to a few of the files from the pervious backup, how do I access those files? The previous backups are purple and inaccessible from the time machine window.
Details: I use a G Drive to do my Time Machine backups.While in Time Machine, press the key combination shift-command-C. The front window will show all mounted volumes. All snapshots should now be accessible. Select the one you want and navigate to the files you want to restore.
