Before I get drop-kicked, I did a pretty wide search on the subject. Most of the solutions generally involved digging into the Terminal and then I just sort of got lost from there. I have a massive appetite for distraction.
I'm curious if there's a simpler method for getting my 3G to sync to iTunes as if my HDD crash never occurred (I'm running OS X10.6.2, iTunes 9.0.2) I could care less about photos, or songs (restored my library via my iPod), but I'm looking to retain my apps, if that's possible.
....A little backstory, I've had my mid-2007 MacBook had been chugging along just fine. At the time, I was an active duty Marine, and brought it along with me on a number of field ops and a 7 month long WestPac with the Navy. No issues, solid machine. One evening, roughly a month ago, the OS freezes in a manner I had not seen before (complete lockup, Windows Me style). I go to reboot and I get the sound of the last dieing throes of the HDD.
Long story short, Toshiba is ****. No warning, whatsoever of impending doom. Had a partial backup, probably going to opt for a professional data restore, at around $1000. The good news is, this was an excuse for a 500GB Seagate 7200.4, which aside from running a little hot, is an outstanding drive.
