File exists in TM, but TM doesn't see it

Hi all,
I wanted to test out TM. I backed up my HD 3 days ago using TM (firewire 400 connection) and deleted a file.
Today, I went to the finder to look for it and it is obviously not there. So I click the TM icon and went back in time. Nothing!
I checked out my TM drive and the file does exist! I can even copy and paste it out of the drive onto my desktop. But when I try to get it via TM, it does not recognize it. I even used the exact file name (with extension) and it just doesn't work.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Chris

I have the same problem. Yesterday I connected my iPod Touch to my PC and iTunes prompted me to update the ipod's software to 1.1.2 (I think thats the new one?), I accepted and it proceded to download it. When it finished downloading it tried to update the software but for some reason it failed. An error message came up saying that the ipod will have to be restored. I went ahead and tried to restore it, it gave an option for restore and update, that didn't work. My iPod won't even turn on now, it just shows the iTunes icon and the USB cable. When I connect to my PC iTunes says its in recovery mode and the software tries to do the update, the iPod screen shows the Apple logo and the updating icon, the screen goes blank and the process starts again, after a couple of attempts an error message appears on screen saying an error occurred and gives an error code of 1611 (or something like that).
Holding down sleep and home together doesn't do anything.
What is up with it? I've tried the same thing in my girlfriend macbook and the exact same error happened.

    Hi BobRz
    Thanks for you suggestion but it didn't work - are there other ways for solving this problem? Or is it because my files that I want to copy and paste onto my hard disk etc are too big? (However there is space on my hard disk and it works on a PC)

  • "A copy of this account already exists in Contacts" (but it doesn't)

    Running an early 2013 MacBook Pro Retina, on the latest version of Yosemite (10.10.3). I can't enable Contacts for my Exchange account in Internet Accounts. I already have Mail and Calendar selected, but when I select the checkbox for Contacts, it deselects itself a moment later (i.e. the checkmark disappears on its own). I checked out Console to try to get to the bottom of the error, and it tells me that "A copy of this account already exists in Contacts." It doesn't - this is my only Exchange account in Contacts.
    I've tried deleting and re-adding the account, rebooting, fixing permissions, and checking for disk errors. No luck. Any ideas? Thank you.

    I think I fixed this. The first time I deleted the account and re-added it, I chose the option to only delete it from my MacBook. I just tried again, and chose the option (in a dialog box that pops up) to delete the account on all devices. After that, I re-added the account, and Contacts now works.

  • I have photo's in a folder but elements doesn't see them.

    I have tried to import the folder's files but no luck, still doesn't see them.  I have tried to; Show hidden files, Reconnect, All Missing files, Untagged Items, all with no luck.  Any Ideas

    Hi,
    Which operating system are you running on?
    Which version of Photoshop Elements are you using?
    What error message are you seeing when you try to import them - file not supported or already in catalog?
    What type of file - raw? If raw, which camera produced them (Make & model)?
    To see if the file is already in the catalog, go to the Find menu and select By Filename. Enter part of a file name that you are trying to import and see if it can find it.
    Go to the View menu, select Media Types and ensure they are all checked.
    Are you seeing the photos in other folders ok?

  • I have a big problem! My ipod touch is stuck! it won't open, all I see when I open it is the itunes icon with a USB cable and an arrow! What can I do? I've tried connectingit with itunes, but itunes doesn't see it. plus i have windows 8

    Can't connect my ipod toch to itunes!!! It doesn't see it! I use windows 8, don't know if that's the problem. Anyways, my ipod is stuck! Every time I open it, it stays stuck with the image of a USB cable with an arrow pointing towards an itunes icon. but whatever I do, my computer doesn't see it, and neither does itunes. What to do???!!!

    The the remaining items of the following, you may have to let the battery fully drain.
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Logged into chat, but user doesn't see the room or participants

    I am trying to help a user with iChat. He is in France and I am in US. He has a mac.com address.
    The problem is he can sign into a chat room and I can see him in that room, but he can not see the chat room window nor the participants. He will get IMs from people that are apparently in the room, but he has no idea where they are coming from.
    I can find how to hide the participant side window but unable to find any way to show/hide the chat window. iChat has not been hidden as his buddy window does show up.
    There are differences in terminology on the menu bar and drop downs between French and English so even with screen sharing, it is not easy. Menu items are under different headers.
    I have seen this before with some users, but usually a quit and reloading iChat will clear it up. There are a lot of cases of people thinking they exited a room, but their SN is still there until they quit iChat.
    If I get information, I said I would let him know a solution.

    Hi,
    EDIT:-
    I can recreate this.
    On my G4, which used to be my prime iChat computer, I have several Rooms listed in Go to Room in the File Menu
    One of these had been added to Auto Join list but not ticked.
    I did this (ticked) but no window showed.
    On the MacBook Pro I used another account/Screen Name to log in to the same room
    After finding from Snow Leopard I had an illegal character, I corrected it on both computers.
    The G4 still did not show the Room Chat window.
    However the MacBook Pro showed My G4 Screen Name as being there.
    I did find that if I went to iChat File Menu > Go to Room and Deselect the Auto Join and Quit iChat my G4 would not sign back into the room when that screen Name was logged in to AIM again at iChat Launch.
    I hope this is the same for your Buddy.
    8:39 PM Thursday; September 3, 2009
    Please, if posting Logs, do not post any Log info after the line "Binary Images for iChat"
    The G4 makes the sound as to getting a new message but the window still does not appear and the G4 therefore cannot reply. Nor can I leave the Room.

  • Imported playlists but itunes doesn't see songs

    I have dutifuly exported playlists both by right click playlist/export playlists and by file/export as xml and neither of those formats imported see any of the music. I have to find them all manually now. Any thoughts?

    I'm looking for an answer to this same question. I imported a previous iTunes library. The playlist folders are in tact but are empty. No song info appears.
    Can someone direct me toward a solution. The iTunes tutorial doesn't offer tips on this.

  • I installed Aperture on my new mac but it doesn't see my Aperture Library

    is there a way to point the app to a previously created Library?
    It exists on an external drive because it is too big for my internal hard drive but I can find no command or option to open an existing library... just import my 30,000 photos all over again... and they won't fit. I found a post that concerned merging 2 libraries and I had hoped that would be the solution but the menu items mentioned aren't available to me (I'm using Aperture 1.5). When I chose "File / Import --" my only option is to import a project not the library ...it stays grayed out.
    Any ideas anyone?
    thanks!

    thanks Tony,
    I clicked on the Library and that did it .. (I never found the "switch libraries" menu item) but this worked great ...
    but just to give a complete solution ... I was looking for a option to use 2 screens and decided to look in the Preferences file and at the top was an option to designate a library .. to point to one. I guess I needed to look a little harder... thanks for your time and help,

  • Hidden files appear in finder but I can't see them on my desktop

    I have been having this recurring issue where when I have a Finder window open, I can see several files when I click on my my desktop sidebar icon, but when I try to find them on my desktop they do not show up anywhere. What is going on? Is it something I did/didn't enable or a bug?

    Hi,
    I am having this issue too. I can, for example, save a Word doc as a PDF to the desktop but it never appears. If I go back to Word it says 'do you want to replace the file of the same name?', And if I do this a couple of times it will appear.
    There are quite a few similar responses online about this but no definitive answer. Anyone got one?

  • Time Capsule set up and wifi network OK but MacBook doesn't see capsule as airport device.  Do I need to do a hard reset and start again?

    I recently bought a Time Capsule and sucessfully set it up in accordance with the instruction book.  The home network and guest network seem to work fine but my MacBook cannot find the Time Capsule wirelessley.
    Initially I set up the time capsule connected to the MacBook with an ethernet cable.  The Time Machine got 30GB way through a 60GB initial back up and then stopped for no obvious reason.  Since then the capsule has not been visible to the MacBook.  I have tried to reconfigure through Airport Utility but even after reperated rescans the capsule remains invisible.
    Any help would be extremely welcome.

    1. i would restore the express to factory defaut by holding the reset button on the unit with a paperclip while you are powering it on
    2. if it restored, you should be able to see it in your wifi icon at top of screen as "airport express"
    or you can see it in airport utility
    3. then if you want to connect it wirelessly to your time capsule, you would choose "extend network" and put in relevant security and password....this would make the express a wireless access point, fed by your time capsule(main router)
    if you chose to do it wired which is a better way if you have access to ethernet port at wall, you would choose "create a wireless network" and then under the "network" tab you would choose "Bridge Mode".....this would make the express a wired access point, fed by your time capsule(main router)

  • Printer sees wifi, Laptop sees wifi, but laptop doesn't see printer

    I'm trying to connect my new LaserJet 100 color MFP M175nw all in one to my laptop. I've already set it up via USB on my desktop and that went off without a hitch. I got the printer on the wifi (I can print out a Network Summary and Config Report that list the printer's IP and specifically say it's connected to my network) but now I'm running into problems getting my laptop to "see" the printer. Each time I try to run the install, I get the "Can't Find Product(s)" message. I've got my firewall off and I've tried using the troubleshooting methods on the HP site but nothing seems to work.
    I've tried manually adding a printer through Windows, but it's not able to find the printer by IP address or hostname.
    Please help before I beat the nice new printer with a bat "Office Space"-style.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    It looks like we fixed it. This is what we did:
    1) Installed the HP software via USB on the desktop
    2)Confirmed that the printer was on the network by pressing the WPS button on the router and pressing holding the WiFi button on the printer for 2 seconds, then seeing a connection successfull message on the printer
    3) Still on the desktop, added it as a wireless printer through Windows (Start > Devices and Printers)
    4) Shared the printer with all users on the network
    5) Switched to the laptop and used WIndows to add a printer. Once we shared the printer from the desktop, the laptop was able to see it.
    I am going to go back and try connecting the laptop to the printer via USB to finish installing the scanning software etc. But I was able to print a doc wirelessly so I'm satisfied.

  • I set up photostream but ipad doesn't see pix

    I've followed all the suggestions in the troubleshooting guides but nothing changes the outcome.  I get a message on the ipad the "Photo Stream uploads and stores the last 30 days of photos on iCloud and downloads them to all your devices."  Obviously I have omited some part of the procedure.

    Can anyone advise what I can do to troubleshoot this?

    Thank you for that link.
    I checked the first two  /usr/bin/ldbadd and /usr/bin/ldbdel and no package owns them. So I ran:
    sudo pacman -S --force lib32-libdbus
    because now I got:
    :: Replace lib32-dbus-core with multilib/lib32-libdbus? [Y/n]
    because I just enabled multilib in order to upgrade skype (which worked). Anyhow, the install of lib32-libdbus worked fine, but
    pacman -Syu
    still gives all the errors above. Should I try to rename all those files?
    Your title however is misleading - nothing says files are missing, the problem is those files are already there but pacman doesn't know why.
    Well, I also see this:
    error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/local/ldb-1.1.16-1/desc: No such file or directory
    as well as another. So something does appear to be missing to me.
