been using SuperDuper to clone off my HD to an external. I bought a new machine and em trying to get my contacts and calenders back and having major issues. I don't know what files to move over.
I tried running Address Book on the backup drive, but it won't run, so I can't export my contacts.
This is all pretty critical as my iphone wiped my contact list on the 4.1 update.
Somehow I have deleted my contacts from my address book and I have mobile me so it has wiped them out on my iphone. I have a current back up on Time Machine. But I can't remember how to restore the contacts.. I know it is an easy process but...I can't remember..
View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to restore my Entourage contacts from backup. My Entourage DB recently became corrupted and during many unsuccessful repair attempts, I lost my contacts along with some Inbox email on the Exchange server. I've just restored the entire DB from Exchange, but after syncing the restored DB with the Exchange server, my contacts are missing. So, it looks like the Exchange server not only won't import/sync the contacts from my local Entourage DB, but Exchange 'wins' during the sync by wiping out all contacts I have stored locally. Is there anyway I can sync my contacts one-way after the DB restore (local restored DB contacts ------> Exchange server)?
View 1 Replies View RelatedRecently my iCloud account was hacked and all my Contacts were erased. This also caused all my Contacts on my iPhone and iMac to be erased as well. I can restore my Contacts from a Time Machine Back up to my iMac "Address Book", however as soon as I connect back to iCloud, all the contacts are erased. I tried to restore my iPhone from an earlier iPhone backup which restored everything, as far as I know, except the Contacts. I don't have a huge number of contacts or groups, so I don't care if the group information is lost. There seems to be some conflicting information on how to do this correctly, so I'm asking what the current best practice is to restore all my contacts from a Time Machine Backup to iCloud.

So I can finally sync with MobileMe (no thanks to Apple, who have still not replied to my email a week later). My contacts are fine, but the calendar only shows my Home and Work calendars. Why aren't the rest showing up? Am I missing something?

Everything was working fine, but now my calendars keep disappearing, even though the data is still there (when I open iCal, i see the calendars, and then they disappear after a few moments and any alarm that I set will pop up the way it was supposed to).

View 1 Replies View RelatedEarlier tonight I opened iCal, only to find that none of my calendars were there. it was completely empty. However, when I changed the view from "Week" to "Month" all of my events were listed (in the proper color) on the appropriate day, but I still had no list of calendars on the left. Subsequent changes between "Day" "Week" and "Month" view continued to display the events properly, but nothing showed up in the calendar menu on the left.
I repaired permissions same thing happened.I trashed com.apple.ical pref (forgot the exact filename)�same behavior. I use .mac to sync between computers, and I use Missing Sync to sync to a Palm T|X.
contacts on iMac show all contacts 3 times. How do I change this in 1 time?

It seems that the contacts app has suddenly become incapable of accessing my contacts in the cloud. Its fine on icloud.com, its fine on my phone, and its fine on my ipads. However, I'm getting an error message right now which I think must be to do with an update to Little Snitch which I did almost immediately before, and which necessitated a reboot. Since the reboot, I am seeing the following
Of course, this also means Messages doesnt work. LS is not blocking any icloud things, and calendars and mail are still working with no issues.

I'm not exactly sure of where to post this... I'm having a problem with my computer (Address Book, I believe) syncing w/ Google contacts. I'm getting the following error messages:
The first image is the original error that comes up. If I click More Info, it brings me to a list of contacts. The "Before" info contains the correct fields for their email addresses (e.g., school, work, etc). However, Google wants to get rid of these fields.
Is there any way I can get Google to accept this fields? Also, can I have Google revert to my Mac's info instead of the other way around (my mac using Google's changes)

I've upgraded from Leopard to SL and had found that my C2D 2.4Ghz MBP 15" hasn't been snappy ever since. Even my friend's MBP 13" latest 2.4Ghz loads SysPrefs faster than me.
Would wiping the HD and restoring from TM using the Snow Leopard disk help at all, or would I get the same thing and have just wasted my time?
I run OSX Tiger on my Macbook, and my harddrive is partitioned in two (a windows and a OSX partition) with an old Bootcamp trial.
The trial has run out, and I can't really find any way to restore my drive to a single partition without it.
Is there anyway to do this?
EDIT: I'm looking into the "man diskutil", but I don't really know how to do it.
I have 2 discs that came with my imac, which I believe are the system restore CD's. Any tips on going through the process? I might be selling my iMac so I want to wipe out the drive (320gb).
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm the kind of person that would rather attempt trial and error before conceding to follow some step-by-step guide. But this time it cost me. I deleted my OSX partition and am now left with Windows XP. When I boot from my OSX install disk it eventually asks me where I would like to install the OS, but only offers me a choice of the (25gb) Windows partition. I see no options listed that how to create a partition at that point.
So I assume I need to create a partition from within Windows first. I went to Administrative Tools > Disk Management and found a list of several partitions. Two of them are around 200MB in size but the other two are ~25GB and ~125GB. The latter is obviously the remnants of my OSX partition but when I (right-)click on it the only option offered is to delete it.
I've got a double whammy. My external hard drive for backup died in late November and while I was waiting for a new power supply connector my iTunes music library 'went missing' in early January. And to add to the weirdness, only part of the library disappeared, about 60% is still there andplaylists, play counts etc are all gone.
The external drive is working again and I had hoped to restore from its last backup of 25 November using Time Machine. Under my username there is nothing but a "sparsebundle". Everything else on the Mac is fine so I'm loathe to restore the the entire sparsebundle. Is there some way to just choose the music folder?
New mac user here. In setting up my new mbp I was trying to put an icon to the HD on the desktop. White trying to do this I dragged and dropped it directly from devices in the finder onto the desktop thus deleting it from finder. I was wondering both how to restore it to finder and then how to create an icon to it on the desktop.

thats pretty silly of apple to allow us to delete 'system preferences'...
I upgraded my mac, to the latest version of the OS. Half way through the update, the power went, and my whole system, is messed up.
I thought, its ok, ill re install it from the disk, ill only lose software that i have installed, all my data is backed up, its fine. After 1 hour of installing mac OSX.5 the loaded, fine... but a few problems.
The software that came on the mac, is not there now.
My mac keeps restarting my Airport.
My question, if i use the disks that came with my mac, can i have the software back on OSX.4 and then upgrade it like when OSX.5 came out? Would i have hte software back?
When starting Safari it take 3-4 minutes to load Google - Then when I type in the search box, within the first letter or 2 it locks up again - sometimes says "Could not contact Spell Checker"
I updated from 10.3.9 to 10.4.11 3 months ago and all has been just fine but now I am getting these errors. Also when Safari is acting up, Mail won't operate properly.
If I set up a new user, everything works great. But I'd like to restore my Local Preferences if possible without losing anything.
I upgraded my old PBG4 to a new MBP yesterday. On my PBG4 I have an external drive with Time Machine backup. I noticed in setting up the new machine that I could migrate old user data to the new mac, and one of the options was via a Time Machine disk. Does this work, even if you're going between machines?
The old computer is a PowerPC laptop and the new one is Intel. Are there differences in things like drivers and stuff or would all the data and settings transfer over no problems? I always figured that the restore from Time Machine was to restore a backup onto the same machine (i.e. recover from a crash or OS corruption) but don't know if it works from going between an old machine and a new one?
Just a quick question.... when you install a new OS you have the opportunity of copying all your stuff over from another drive via Migration Assistant. Where does it dump all the files? Does it mirror how it originally was, only in the new OS, or is it put all in the Home folder?
Secondly, when we install Snow Leopard we're supposed to get 6GB more space than before. Would this be the case with any type of install, be it erase and install, archive and install or just upgrade?
Basically I'm wondering how you go about getting the extra 6GB space plus having all my stuff and settings as it was it was in the previous OS?
My computer HD failed and I cant start my macbook at all. The computer boots and shows a question mark on a folder and the HD clicks so I assume thats the problem. I'm getting ready to order a new one and I can't find my original install disks. Can I do a fresh install of the OS on a new HD with just the Leopard install disk? I have a set of Mac Pro install disks, but don't know if they will work (missing divers?).
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm relatively new to a Mac and have a question regarding minimizing/restoring application Windows in Snow Leopard.
In Windows you can minimize an application using the icon on the taskbar, and you can restore it the same way. In OSX you can restore an application window using the icon, but you can not minimize it that way.
