OS X Mavericks :: Can't Recover Old Stickies On New Computer
Dec 2, 2014
I saved everything via time machine back up on my external from my old mac book pro (2009)and bought a new mac book pro today and am trying to recover my stickies but I can't seem to do it. I've looked online at all the suggestions on going back into time machine and still can't seem to locate the stickies data folder under any library or preference application/folder to access my old stickies and its urgent that I get them back!

I lost my old Stickies, maybe in upgrading to Lion. I know the database is in my Library, but I cannot find a way to get into my Library in Time Machine.

My Stickies app has many out-of-date sticky notes. How do I delete them?
I tried searching Stickies
I tried deleting the app. No joy! Was informed that app "was required by OS X".
Surely there must be a way to get rid of unwanted sticky notes!
Info:
iMac (21.5-inch Late 2009), OS X Mavericks (10.9)

I know i can cut-paste files, like images or pdfs, onto a sticky note.
Is there a way I can import another sticky note into one ?

My MacBook's hard drive died last night, but luckily I have a backup from earlier that day on my Time Machine enabled external HD. My friend has a MacBook, and I have a paper due for a class in about a week, so I was wondering if I could hook my HD to her computer and recover just the word document. I would have tried this by now if the guy at the store who's replacing my hard drive had not told me to be extremely careful when trying this or else it won't restore when I get my computer back.

I have an imac and a few months ago I wiped the computer using a 7 pass wipe or whatever it's called - i totally wiped everything off the computer as i thought it had a virus. I also then reformatted my external hard drive. My mac and my harddrive now have new data on but can you beleive it, I have lost a very important document which was on my mac before it was wiped and was on my external hard drive and I really need it back.

My computer had a spinning wheel yesterday that would not go away, so I forced a shutdown (had done it before with no problems). However, now my computer goes straight to the diagnostic tool, and when I try to repair disk0s2, it cannot be repaired. I didn't have Time Machine automatically running, and my most recent backup is too old and I don't want to lose all of our pictures. is there any other way to recover files off of this disk?

I've been reading this site for a couple of years, this is my first time typing.
Computer crashed, nothing is accessable, at the advice of my nearest mac dealer, I did an erase and restore with my system disks, but now itunes says "all the music for my account has already been downloaded."
How can I recover this?

In a current hard disk, /Users/me/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library...I see Mail Downloads folder. I don't know where the mail messages are stored. I don't see anything like this in the backup volume. Where can I look for?

Working offline during a flight, I created a new "Mailbox" -- i.e. a subfolder -- within an account in Mail and moved some messages into it. Back on the ground and reconnected with the Internet, that subfolder has disappeared, along with all the messages in it. Where did it go? Is it possible to recover it?
If it makes any difference, it was a Gmail account accessed via IMAP.

OS X Mavericks (10.9.3)

I have an external USB HDD that was originally formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled), it was accidentally erased (using Disk utility) and re-formatted to FAT32. the HDD has not been used since (other than to try and recover the data using various tools), so no new data was been written to it.
Any methods that could be used to recover the data from the drive?i've tried DiskWarrior but that can't do anything with the drive as it's not a "macintosh disk".
Info:
Mac mini, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3), 2.3Ghz Core i5

I just installed the brand new OS X 10.10 Yosemite beta 2 on a USB thumb drive. It almost works.
Now I want to boot my good old OS X 10.9 Mavericks from the SSD.
But there is no option for that, if I reboot the macbook holding the opt key!
I see only "Install OS", "Recover 10.9" and "OS X Yosemite", if I plug in the thumb drive.
But if I boot the OS X 10.10 beta 2 from the thumb drive, I can browser my SSD "Macintosh HD", see all the folders and files, it's still there!
If I choose "Recover 10.9", it says, I can re-install the OS X or recover my Mac from the time machine or ask for online support, what I'm actually doing.
How can I make the SSD bootable again, without re-installing the OS X and losing my data? Yes, there is still an option to restore from the time machine, but it's too long, I need my computer now.
It's a rMBP 15" early 2013.

My login.keychain password is not recognized anymore, i am very sure about the actual pwd string and I tried to restart apps and machine already, I believe the file got corrupted somehow, hence various applications such as FTP clients cannot autoconnect to external resources
I am bound to recover from a Timemachine backup, but all discussions are just dealing with recovering items in the keychain file once it is restored, what about the keychain master password? is it contained in the login.keychain file so that restoring that file to the HD will allow me to regain access to the saved items?

I'm using Snow Leopard (10.6.2) and need to export all my Stickies notes. The only tip I have found is to go to File -> Print All Notes as PDF.
But there is no Print All Notes subMenu!
I also found in MacOSXHints an AppleScript. It didn't work.
Does anybody know of a way to export them?

Now I've had my mac for quite some time but I have never been able to figure out the purpose of the stickies app. What I wanted to know is, if it is possible to have multiple stickies on your desktop at one time? If so, how do I apply this? Can the stickies float on your desktop, or do I use dashboard to get multiple stickies? I am quite confused with this one.

Just upgraded to Snow leopard. Noticed that if I position a Stickies note on my secondary screen and restart stickies it always revert back to the primary screen. If I position it on the primary screen the position is fixed.

Is there a keyboard shortcut for Stickies? (the "post-it note" application in Mac OS x). I can swear I remember using one a couple years ago, but cannot for the life of me recall one or find one using google.

I accidentally deleted the stickies application a while back. I tried to reinstall it but now whenever I try to open it a message comes up saying "You can't use this version of the application Stickies with this version of Mac*OS*X." How do I fix this?

I am a switcher trying to learn the ropes and have a Macbook laptop 10.4.10 OSX.
The first time I opened stickies, I created a new sticky and all was going well. Then I saved it. It got saved as a text file, and the sticky disappeared.
Now when I open a new sticky, it is invisible. I know it is there because in View it shows an untitled sticky. If I choose a particular color of sticky, I can see that in the View as well, but no actual sticky on screen.
What am I doing wrong?
My apologies if I have opened the thread in the wrong category. This is my first post on the forum and this seemed like the best way to start it.

My stickies won't work anymore. The notes are invisible, and when I try to create a new one, nothing happens. I press F10 and it just shows me all the windows of the previous application I was working on. I think I need to reinstall it, but I can't find it anywhere for download.

I use a Mac Book Pro -Intel - running 10.4.11. Was using Word and Excel and had some large items on the clipboard when the computer froze. Could not get the frozen applications to force quit, nor would the computer restart or shutdown from the menu, so I pushed the "on" button, waited 20 seconds or so, then started up. Stickies had disappeared! I had a lot (not the max, but a lot). So far I've searched for stickies using spotlight, verified disk permissions, deleted the stickies preferences & database, checked permissions on "get info", looked for recovered files, to no avail. All I get is the welcome: how to use stickies. I know now that I should have backed them up - but I didn't. So - are they forever lost?

I have about 10 stickies in the Dashboard with info on them. Initially all of the info disappeared (the stickies remained, but blank). I added all the info back in and this morning 7 of them are blank while 3 of them still show the info I typed in.

I think I copied over my old Stickies version from a clone drive, and now trying to open Stickies in SL is giving me an error that I "can't use this version," "You have Stickies 6.0"
How do I get back up to date with the right version of Stickies?
