backing up apps data : iPhoto, iTunes, Palm, bookmarks...

[dnanian]

When you do a "Backup - all files", all those files are backed up. Every application stores its files in different locations, so it's not possible for me to document how to "restore" individual application files: the application developer would know what files need to be copied back.

To answer these few:

- Purchased music can be copied, no problem, and will be accessible from any iTunes that has been activated with the iTMS account.
- iPhoto is just a set of folders, backing it up is fine
- Palm -- don't know, sorry
- iCal, Address Book -- both of these are in Library/Application Support, under their appropriate folder
- Bookmarks -- in Library/Safari

Certainly, though, restoring the whole backup will restore your iTunes, iPhoto, Palm, etc files: they're all there, on the backup, exactly where they're supposed to be.

Hope that helps!
