Migrate directly or from a backup?

When dies a Mac - if the hard disk is OK - should migrate directly or from a backup?

The new Mac check the old file system log to make sure that everything is OK and put the data back in an audited?

I think that if the Mac died suddenly, I don't know if that hardware problem may affect the data on the hard drive, then perhaps that supports to switch over to a backup. But then there is always the possibility that there could be a problem with the backup. (We have a backup that is no more than an hour old.)

Thank you in advance!

If possible I would like to migrate directly, the backup is a good option when you cannot.

  • can I delete the files from the backup.backupb folder?

    I'm trying to restore a backup time machine on a hard drive that is smaller than the backup. It is safe for me to delete unnecessary files from the backup.backupb folder?

    Actually, no. Deleting files directly from the sparebundle will lead to file corruption.

  • Restore from iTunes backup application corrupted

    I have an update application that can be bad and want to restore from a backup iTunes just that App. Is this possible and if yes, what is the process?

    Thank you. Best regards, R.J. Wilson

    Synchronize the iTunes app.  You may need to remove the application on the device first otherwise iTunes may think it's already there.  If it is a current application, you can also re - download it directly from the iTunes Store with your device via iCloud.

  • Cannot restore from a backup

    I cannot restore from a backup and don't know why.

    I have a Crucial SSD of BX100 in my mid 2010 MacBook Pro. It is divided into two partitions. I got Snow Leopard on a partition and Yosemite on the other. For some reason any I've never understood the Snow Leopard guarded beachballing partition. This happened if often that I decided to wipe the disk and reinstall from my backup, do it before the beachballing began to occur.

    But I can't restore. I wiped the drive of a Snow Leopard system, repaired and reformatted. The drive is not Core Storage, this is Mac OS extended (journaled). When I try to restore the restore on it works for about two minutes and then stops. Finally, I get a message saying that the disc has been ejected incorrectly.

    I noticed that when I receive information on the drive, an element appears different from other readers and which corresponds to the element, owners enabled: no each other drive I've seen says owners enabled: Yes. Is it all just because there is no system on the partition?

    Also "ignore ownership on this Volume" must be checked or unchecked?

    Suggestions welcomed, I am baffled by this.

    Snow Leopard erase and install

    1. Insert the Snow Leopard DVD in the optical drive and restart the computer.
    2. Immediately after hearing the chime hold down the C key.
    3. Release the button when the Apple logo appears and wait for loading to complete.
    4. After the installer loads, choose your language and click on the continue button. When the menu bar appears select utility drive in the Utilities menu.  After disk utility charges select the entry out-bumpy in the list aside (mfgr. size ID and disc drive.)  In the right side of the disk utility window, click the Partition tab.  Set the number of sheets to (1) on the menu drop down. Click the Options button and select GUID, click on OK, the value of the Mac OS Extended journaled format type. Finally, click on the apply button.
    5. Once the format is complete, quit disk utility.  Continue with the installation of OS X and follow the directions.
    6. Once installation is complete, the computer will restart in the installation wizard. After completing the Setup Wizard, you will use a new installation of Snow Leopard. Open the software update and install updates recommended.
    7. If you plan to sell or to give to your remote computer, then proceed as follows: once you reformat your hard disk and reinstall Snow Leopard, the computer restarts with a welcome screen. To leave the Mac in a State OOTB (Out Of The Box), do not continue with the Setup program. Instead, press the command and Q keys to stop the computer. The installation wizard will guide you the new owner through the installation procedure, after that it turns on the computer.
    8. Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 v1.1 updated Combo. If necessary. It is not necessary if you are selling or giving your computer away.
  • Will there be a direct upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 8 final version?

    Migration to Windows XP 8

    Will there be a direct upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 8 final version?  If so, are there details around this yet?

    If by "direct" you mean that you don't have to reinstall your applications, then almost certainly this option will be available.

    If you simply mean "l will be able to use an upgrade rather than a full license" - it's a lot more muddy waters, but I suspect that MS is going to cut the rug under the judicious XP and only allow upgrades from Vista and Win7.

  • Migration of data from LMS 3.0.1 (SA) 3.1 (Master)

    See you soon

    David

    It should work perfectly. However, problems can still the case. After migration, the DCR mode will be set to return to standalone as the dcr.ini will be restored from the backup. You must return to master. In fact, I recommend that opt-out of all the slaves of the master prior to the migration.

  • You forgot to turn off pairing Apple Watch - I can restore from a backup of Icloud?

    Hi, I have a 1st generation Apple Watch Sport 38mm.  Recently, I sold my 6 s Iphone in anticipation of the arrival of the Iphone 7.  In my haste, I forgot to turn off my Apple Watch match before sending it away.  I have been using a loaner phone while I was not able to restore from Icloud because it doesn't have enough memory so I have just set up as a new phone.  When I paired my watch with her that I had to reset as I was not able to select a backup (because it's not because I didn't have it odd).  I'm afraid now that I've lost all my previous data.  Do you know that if I can restore my Apple Watch from a backup to Icloud - I won't be able to try this until I get my new phone, but just pray that I can choose a backup for my watch from my phone when I put in place?  Thank you very much

    Hello

    When you pair your watch with your new iPhone (after restoring your backup to iCloud), you can choose the option to restore from backup if he is offered throughout the entire upward:

    Set up your Apple Watch - Apple Support

    (There is no backup separate from your watch - it is part of your iPhone backup).

  • All software/programs reinstall it from a backup hard drive?

    I just bought my wife a MacBook Pro computer refurbished GroupOn.  It was made in 2012.  She has an old computer MacBook 2008.  We did a full backup on an external hard drive.  All software/programs installed will be reinstall from this backup?  We discovered that iLife is not on the computer is restored to nine... apparently when they wiped the computer, everything is gone, but the basics that come with Mac OS Yosemite.  Please advise... Thank you

    It depends on your backup, how you did and how you plan to restore.  Two computers running the same version of operating system?

    Some simple applications can simply be dragged from drive to drive. Some install components in every sense, and only a clone will restore everything. The problem is a clone of a 2008 computer cannot boot a computer from 2012. A regular drag and drop saving is not a clone, or Time Machine.

  • After trying to synchronize with my laptop and failure, I've restored files from a backup and make me "this connection is Untrusted" I have not found a solution.

    I uninstalled Firefox 40, deleted the profiles folder, reinstalled Firefox, restored Firefox 40 and profiles from a backup and I still get this message. I even downgraded to a previous version and restored the profiles for this version and still this nasty error pops up on everything I try to do. I can't find any info on where are stored other files of files I'm not restore or change which still linger. I've never seen anything like this. That's after spending 3 weeks completely updated and change Firefox according to my needs and dumping Chrome, that's what I get. It seems I have to go back to chrome that I need a browser that works. I tried everything I can find this issue nothing works. I am really upset over this especially after that spent all the time from Chrome to Firefox. I really need an answer or I'll have to remove Firefox and return to Chrome, as much as I hate to do this. It still works!
    Someone has an answer for this? Is their draw at Mozilla to help with this? Help!

    Sorry for the delay in answering your question.

    Another possible reason for "sec_error_untrusted_issuer" If Firefox is not configured to trust your security software, such as Avast, BitDefender, ESET or Kaspersky. If you use one of these popular products, reinstall your product can take care of the problem, or some manual adjustments may be necessary. If you use one of these, please mention which for more specific suggestions.
