MacBook Pro :: How To Restore From Tm
Apr 16, 2010I was just curious does restoring from TM with system slowdowns? Or is restoring from TM just bring all those slowdowns back onto your drive?

Mac Mini :: 2011 Will Not Restore Via Internet Restore?
Apr 8, 2012So here's my question:I've owned my share of MacBook Pro's, so I'm somewhat familiar, but not an expert. I got my mini last Friday from cowboom (a Best Buy affiliate), and since it's a pre-owned, it only came with the power cable and HDMI to DV-I adapeter. For those that ordered these, a majority of the people posted that it did not come with an OS, but the Internet Restore option fixed the trick. So I powered it on and got the flashing folder with the question mark. No OS. I did the Internet recovery and ran it through all the way to the the reinstall Lion screen. When asking what drive to install it on, there were no drives. I closed the installer and ran the disk utility and the only available drive was some basic drive that had a capacity less than 2GB. No other drives. I booted from my Lion that's on USB, but there's no drive to install it on. Any suggestions? I checked the warranty and the warranty cannot be verified. Some buyers said they had warranty from 8 months and up. One said his warranty showed starting from the day he restored his mac. I'm guessing because it was never registered I made an appointment tomorrow to take it to apple but is there something that can help avoid the trip?

Jul 1, 2008The 10.5.4 update appears to have killed my MBA. On boot I either get a grey box in the middle of the screen in four languages telling me I need to restart my computer, or I get a blank pale blue screen. I left it on the pale blue screen overnight but it never moved on from there...
Have everything backed up on Time Capsule, but I'm new to Macs, so can you advise on next steps, how I would go about getting my MBA to a state where I can restore from backup, etc?
Pointers to apple support sites welcome but I'm on my iPhone so searching isn't great.

MacBook Pro :: Clone Or Restore From Old To New
Jun 25, 2012I have a 2010 MBP (OX10.7), and just ordered one of the newly released MB Retina. I will get it sometime in July. All my regular files and settings are both on an external and on sugarsync. If I just needed to restore those to the new MB- it would be no big deal.
Besides the everyday use of a MBP, I am a analytics professional. So, on my MBP, I have lots of programs (usual and unusual), a Mysql database, a Windows 7 partitiion (via parallels) with Office for Win, a few other analytics programs like R, datamining and some of their extensions and GUI interfaces, apple scripts, etc.
It is these that take hours to reinstall and get back to normal.
When I get the new MB Retina can I restore/transfer those as well? Are there any downsides to doing this? Do I use migration assitant? Something better?

Dec 9, 2014I'd like to change my HD with a 250 SSD but, before I buy it, I want to be sure that I can restore my backup, which actually is on a NAS (Network Attached Storage), to the brand new SSD.
I read that I shouldn't have any problems but I want to be more than 100% sure since I don't want to waste money Do I need to have already installed on the new hard drive the same OS version of the backup, or I could simply restore to the raw ssd?

MacBook :: Restore OS Without Recovery HD?
Sep 9, 2014I'm running OSX 10.6.8 on an old 2007 Macbook. I replaced the HD on the computer a year or two ago (I rarely ever use the computer) and I must have reformatted the drive to exclude the Recovery HD. Now I want to restore my Macbook to factory defaults (delete and wipe everything) and I can't because there is no Recovery Mode to boot into.
Nothing happens when I hold Command+r on reboot, and when I hold Option on reboot I only see my Mac HD, which confirms that the Recovery HD does not exist. What else can I do to restore my Macbook? I tried to download and install the Recovery drive that boots off of a flash drive, but it requires OSX 10.7. Do I need to upgrade my OS and then boot from a flash drive? Is there really no other way to just DELETE everything?

View 2 Replies View RelatedOS X :: Time Machine Restore On New Macbook Pro
Oct 24, 2008I just got a new Macbook Pro and would like to transfer accounts/data from my old machine that was backed up using Time Machine. On the initial boot, I chose to transfer over my entire account and did not check off the options for applications or files and folders. Right now it appears that its transferring everything, including documents which is what I want.
My question is I am assuming it will transfer over my applications too (they reside in the Applications folder under my account, right?) Will all the applications transfer over and if so, will they be accessible by all accounts or will I have to do it over? If I screw up will I be able to try another restore from the same backup or will it be overwritten?

View 10 Replies View RelatedMacBook Air :: USB Broken - Cannot Backup Or Restore?
Feb 1, 2009About 2 weeks ago I discovered that for some reason neither my Iphone or Ipod Touch would show up on iTunes when I connected it. Initially I thought it was an iTunes error but then quickly realized that neither a USB drive nor my 500GB HDD would recognize as well. Well, I thought that it might have been a software error so I proceeded to do a reinstall, everything was backed up on my Time Capsule so I had nothing to worry about. But guess what? My MBA wouldn't even recognize the SuperDrive. I tried to do a network reinstall but for some reason it would always just HANG upon trying to wirelessly connect to a remote PC for reinstallation.
So basically right now I don't know what to do. All my files are backed up on Time Capsule which is good. Although I can't wipe the MBA or do a reinstall because I can't access the reinstallation CD. I have sensitive sources files on my macbook air related to work that I'm uncomfortable just handing over to the genius bar. Any suggestions on what I should do? Any alternatives on how I might do a reinstall and then be able to bring it in to the genius bar to get this USB fixed. This single USB Hub is the Achilles heel of the MBA, I am now 100% assured of that. Also SPECS: MBA 128SSD RevB.
