View 5 Replies View RelatedI have been using Time Machine for backups. Now I'd like to use Time Machine to have the same desktop as my last backup on another Macbook.
How do I do it?
At the beginning of November I opened my stickies and a song I had been working on was gone. I have had data recovery attempt to find the lost stickie, but 1) it was not saved as a text file, 2) it is no longer in the stickies database, and 3) I do not currently have time machine. Basically, everyone told me I was screwed except the top of the line place in California who wants to charge me $1500 to just attempt to get it back, with no gurantee. Is there anyway I can recover a deleted stickie? Or is there anyway to restore the stickies database/my computer back to a date when I know the stickie there?

Is there a way in TimeMachine to restore just an individual profile from one machine to another?
running OS X Lion, and try to backup to a Stora NAS with Time Machine. Have (as so many others) struggled to get it to work, now it seems OK, I have a full backup, and two incrementals have run OK.But the restore GUI! I did have it up and working some time during all my backup tries. But now I can't get it to display. I press the "Go into Time Machine" from the TM symbol on the menu bar. I get the connect to disk progess bar, and it seems to succeed, because I see an icon on my desktop "TimeMachine backups" and in Finder I get the Time Machine entry under Devices. But how do I get nice GUI to be able to browse back in time and restore? When I saw it before, I can't even remember what I did to get there, it just appeared... But not now...

I want to verify if Migration Assistant will restore a backup from NAS drive to a new computer. I just got a WD My Book Live Duo NAS drive which supports Time Machine backups for Lion (and Snow Leopard). Unlike backups in Snow Leopard and the WD My Book World Edition (white light), the new NAS drive creates a sparsebundle the first time a backup is initiated. When I open Time Machine, a single volume for my backup appears. I have 3 Macbooks backing up to this drive but when I open Time Machine on any computer, only the backup created for that computer is shown. This raised a question for me that if my computer dies, how do I restore the backup from the NAS drive to the new computer? Is this what Migration Assistant will do? What are the limitations? Does the new computer have to have the same IP address as the old computer? Can I select what gets restored? Â

I have a Macbook Pro (about three years old,) and I'm running OS X (10.4.11)
It has been fantastic and perfect, but in the last few days, mysterious things have begun happening, such as it refusing to shut down, restart, or log out, and my dashboard issue.
More specifically, I had lots of stickies on Dashboard, which contained lots of information that I really really really don't want to lose. Suddenly, (after doing something in disk utility called "repair disk permissions," I noticed that dashboard was completely empty. I can drag all the widgets and star all over again, but what I want is the INFORMATION.
Long story short I accidentally deleted my dashboard from the applications folder and emptied the trash. I don't have the original restoration disks so I was hoping that someone could host the file for me.

Last week, my dashboard icon in the dock disappeared in a puff of smoke. I've not been able to restore it back the way it was before (as an icon in the doc). I've tried to add it as a login app, but of course it opens up on login. When I run the app, I can't right click on the dock item and choose "keep in dock" So, how can I get it back?

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.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI 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.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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?

Surely there must be a way to get rid of unwanted sticky notes! Â

I use stickies all the time, but there has to be something better out there! more features or better? Does anyone know a good alternative to the stock Stickies Mac app?
