Help with iTunes database and Time Machine after Lion clean install

I did a clean install of OS X Lion and think I've given myself problems with my Snow Leopard Time Machine backup and with my iTunes Library database files.
My iMac (2007) had become very sluggish so I opted for a clean install.  Before the install of Lion my Snow Leopard 10.6.8 internal 1TB HD was at about  600GBs.  I was using Time Machine to backup to an external 1TB drive.  I had my iTunes 10.?  library on the same drive.
For the Lion install I partitioned my internal 1TB HD into two partitions - a 250GB Lion boot partition and the rest for Lion data files.
Now I  have two problems - 1.  I can't  work out how to re-connect my Time Machine backups, since they were related to a much bigger original drive, and 2.  I can't seem to find my iTunes database files.
I also don't want to restore any application files at this stage, as I'm determined to do a fresh install of only the applications I need as I go along, and hopefully  avoid the issues of sluggishness I had with Snow Leopard.
I have all my iTunes files in their pre-Lion external HD folder, but that folder does not seem to  have the iTunes Library.XML or iTunes Library files.  I didn't delete them so I'm hoping they were in my iTunes folder on my SL boot drive.  But that drive was deleted during the install, so I'll be depending on Time Machine to restore the database.
Can anyone suggest a way to deal with Time Machine for my Lion install, and a way to restore my iTunes database?  I'd like to keep as much of the Snow Leopard Time Machine data as I can, while continuing to do Time Machine backups from my Lion installation.
Anyone know where iTunes stores those database files, if not in the external drive iTunes folder? Spotlight search doesn't find the files, but is there a way to search my old Time Machine backups without having the Time Machine backups folder re-connected in Lion?
Thanks.

My iTunes folder is organised like this if it helps:
And iTunes uses them from the Prefrences like this:

  • Can someone help with Iphoto 09 and Time Machine

    I don’t understand:
    Browse backups...it worked...I did see all the photos in time machine.
    doesn;t seem to tally with
    After trying yours suggestion I than clicked on iphoto and opened time machine and it was empty.
    The way to access photos in TM is via the Browse Backups command.

  • How to get 10.6 calendar out of Time Machine after a clean install of 10.8

    I recently did a clean install of Mountain Lion on my 2007 2.2GHz Intel, 4GB RAM with 120GB SATA Disk.  First, I backed up all of my files in a 1 terabyte WD external harddrive using Time Machine on Oct. 26; as I used my MacBook Pro during the week Time Machine continued to back up my files as I kept it connected to my laptop.
    On November 1st I disconnected the WDHD and initiated the clean install.  Using a Jonathan Morrison video on YouTube I erased all of my files on Snow Leopard and installed Mountain Lion.  (I only want to import certain data back into my laptop at to keep it free from choking on files and programs that I never or rarely use; I only use it for writing and the calendar and misc: no pictures or movies: I am trying to be gentle with it because of its age.) For the next 9 days I backed up all of my Word docs and files in various cloud storage.
    On November 10th I connected the WDHD again and Time Machine did its backups; as I worked I assumed that iCloud and iTunes was taking care of the internal syncing, of my calendar and notebook, contacts et. al, as I merely connected my phone, signed in to iCloud and opened iTunes and clicked SYNC. After the syncs, I opened Calendar and found none of my events; Notes, likewise, had only 7 notes: on my phone are over 40.
    I began research online and found that the majority of post and responses to the question of retrieving this type of data (Calendar, Notes) was best accomplished by using Time Machine.
    http://chasingaftermoonbeams.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/restoring-lost-ical-events-a nd.html
    This blog informed me that if I turn off my wifi and erase certain files, I can then restore my calendar from my Time Machine back up.  The only problem is that my Time Machine, while it is in the "Star Wars" mode will not let me access anything beyond November 10th.  I went into my Time Machine user files to access my calender files - and they are there -  and discovered that my old 10.6 drive is separate from my new 10.8 drive.  I did a bit of research and found an article on that subject:
    http://creativetechs.com/tipsblog/access-files-from-other-time-machine-backups/
    This article informed me that one can browse other disks in Time Machine.
    The only problem with this solution, for me, was that my new 10.8 drive was the only drive available to choose in the Time Machine "Choose Time Machine Disk To Browse" dialog box.
    My question is this: How do I retrieve the 10.6 Snow Leopard OS X Calendar files (pre-November 10th) from Time Machine and install them on the 10.8 Mountain Lion OS X Calendar?

    I recently used Migration Assistant to migrate the calendar folders but that only created another user; after I deleted that user I attempted to drag the folders to my desktop but recieved a prompt that I did not have permission to do this.  If anyone has any ideas on this problem I would very much appriciate any advice that might assist me in understanding the concatenating process of what I am attempting to do.  It has been quite curious and vexing.

  • How can I restore my iTunes library via Time Machine after an erase/install and upgrade to Snow Leopard?

    Actual problem:
    I reinstalled all my programs that I need without a hitch. Meanwhile, I've been trying to recover the few files (mostly music) I actually store on my computer's hard drive as opposed to on my external HDs. I use one external HD for my graphic files and the other is strictly for Time Machine backups. I tried to recover my iTunes music, but I got a message that says: "The file: "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." I restored (I thought) my iTunes library Username/Music/iTunes." Additionally, I was going to upgrade to Mountain Lion, but I have seen that there were issues with Lion and iTunes libraries so I'm a little wary of this.
    Excuse the long explanation, but I figure the problem may possibly be in the details of the weeks prior this problem:
    I have recently been having issues with my iMac. I brought it in to see a Genius twice within the past month and they couldn't seem to find the problem. (It would restart Finder of it's own accord while I was using Adobe CS programs) I figured it was worth backing everything up via Time Machine and doing a complete erase/install/factory reset. I did so and had a problem again, and brought it in again, third time. The Genius did another diagnostics tests and found nothing and said my erase/install probably did the trick, but time will tell. I am, after the erase/rewrite and upgrade running Mac OS X 10.6.3 and previous to this was still running Tiger.

    So, I didn't update iTunes and the rest of it after installing Snow Leopard. My stupidity, I figured that the OS was more up to date than the one I had previously so that all the programs that come with it probably were more current than the ones I was using. However, now that I have updated all my software, I am still getting the same message from iTunes that I was previously. I cannot open iTunes at all, same "The file: "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." message. I'm confused again. Checked a few other threads and whatnot and cannot seem to figure this out.

  • Mac not recognizing Time Machine after Mavericks Clean Install

    Hello,
    I just did a clean install of OSX Mavericks and I can't access any of my Time Machine backups and am very worried about having lost all my data.
    Before I did the clean install, I backed up data using my Toshiba 1TB External hard drive using Time Machine. It backed up successfully and has been doing so for about a year.
    After the successful clean install of Mavericks, I plugged my external hard drive in, to which I was prompted with "would you like to use this hard drive for Time Machine Backups?" I clicked yes, and it said "Decrypting Time Machine Backups." I got worried and quickly cancelled the decryption process.
    Now, whenever I plug in the external hard drive, nothing comes up. I can't access any of its files. Whenever I open the Disk Utility application, it does recognize that its plugged in, but its grayed out, and I can't do anything with the drive.
    I'm very worried about losing all my data and info and would greatly appreciate any insight about this.
    Thanks
    MacBook Pro
    15inch Late 2011
    OSX 10.9.1

    Solved. Right click on the hard drive in Disk Utility, click "unlock."
    So simple, yet so obscure.

  • Restoring applications from time machine after a clean install of Mavericks.

    I had recently upgraded from Mt. Lion to Mavericks from app store. But after few months I thought it was being buggy and slow. Last week after taking a complete time-machine backup I formatted the computer and clean installed Mavericks again. Now I am trying to restore just few handpicked applications one by one. Most of the apps are either not working or asking me for keys. Is there any other way to restore apps from Time Machine? Because all I see is that it just copy pastes the folder from the backup, and does not restore the prefe

    If I were you, I would not restore your applications from the backup, more if you want the preferences back. Performance issues will be back and you may need to reformat the hard drive again.
    Instead, the best thing you can do is to reinstall your applications manually, so you will not be transferrind files you do not need

  • Migration Assistant and Time Machine Problems on Clean Install of OS Lion

    I just completed a clean install of Mac OS X Lion. However, the Migration Assistant application does not detect my time machine backup on my external hard drive when I try to copy my files to my mac. Is there a way where I can transfer my files?

    Are you sure its not shown?  It should have a yellow or green icon, and list the name of the system and HD that was backed-up, not the one it's on.
    If not, try to repair the backups, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.

  • Correct way to restore from Time Machine backup - Lion clean install

    I did a clean install of Lion, and am wondering — what's the correct way to restore files in my Home folder to my new installation?
    For example, I simply dragged over my iTunes folder from the "Latest" Time Machine backup.
    Perhaps instead I should restore from the backup differently? For example, open the ~/Music folder, then open Time Machine.app, and restore that folder through that?
    I always thought that manually dragging the "Latest" backup from the disk should do the trick the same way? Or an important question is — can some files be somehow excluded?
    I did everything through dragging, and haven't noticed problems... BUT, perhaps I should go back and re-do everything the "right" way if there is one?
    (I purposefully avoided doing a Restore, as I didn't want any of the caches, Applications and Library items restored — wanted to start fresh.)

    For convenience mostly. I use the Terminal a lot so I have lots of "dot files" that are at the root of my home directory and hidden.
    One problem is that many of those programs have data in Music, Photos, etc all organized by databases somewhere in ~/Library. You have to make sure to get them re-joined. It can be done. You just have to be careful with it. If you lose your iPhoto archive in the process, the first thing someone is going to ask is why didn't you use Migration Assistant.
    Until recently, I performed all my major MacOS X upgrades using this manual procedure and, for me, the extra hassle was worth the cleanliness. I have lost a couple of software registration codes that I couldn't ever get back. C'est la vie. I would keep my old Library folder around for quite some time until I was sure I wouldn't need anything out of it. These days, I'm too busy and too lazy. I just use one of the automatic methods.

  • Can not fine external hard drive for time machine sence lion was installed

    I can not fine external hard drive for time machine sence lion was installed, it don't reconise it at all.

    I have a Mac Mini (late 2009) and I have an iomega 1TB external hard drive connected to my mini via firewire and usb (usb allows me to use the usb ports on the external 1TB drive to daisy chain other devices).  Since I installed Lion, my Time Machine  and this 1TB drive (and its partitions) is finicky.  Sometimes it is mounted and sometimes it is not.   This issue has only surfaced post Snow Leopard and in the Lion era. I am not the first to say this but the whole reason I went Mac was b/c of Vista.  I am beginning to think that Lion is the new Vista.  Sorry for the latter, just venting... b/c this ain't the first issue with Lion.

  • Reloading apps after Lion clean install

    I plan to do a clean install of Lion but I am not 100% how I would get all of my apps re-loaded. I have some install disks for some of the apps, so no problem, but I do not have the install disk for others. Can I do a Time Machine back-up of the apps in SL, then "re-install" from Time Machine in Lion? My guess is no, as some of the app installers may place things in various directories that I would not get by doing a Time Machine "re-install", I would like to confirm this.

    I would backup either by TM or some other method. After installing Lion you can restore your Home folder and applications via the Setup Assistant.

  • How to handle security with Auto-Versions and Time Machine?

    I've upgraded to OS X Lion, which of course now has the new automatic "versions" system.
    Today, I created a text file in TextEdit, containing highly sensitive data that I must keep absolutely secure (well, you know -- as best I can.) The file was eventually copied to an encrypted sparse disk image (.dmg) and the original on my desktop deleted trashed and emptied.
    But before that happened, Lion had already saved two copies of the file through the new versions sytem --and-- one copy in regular old Time Machine! So much for keeping the file secure. (OK -- not "copies" but delta data. Whatever. )
    EDIT: OK ... I found how to "Delete all backups ..." from within Time Machine. (I feel silly for not finding that before!) But the real question here relates to manual and auto-save versions from the likes of TextEdit and any residual data that may leave lying around, despite the file seemingly having been deleted.
    My questions should now be fairly obvious ...
    Does "Delete all backups" from within TimeMachine also delete all data from the "versions" system? One would assume so. But I don't like to assume.
    Can one somehow pre-emptively flag a file to not be recorded by versions or Time Machine?
    Someone in some post noted that a file could be "locked" to prevent these issues altogether. But I can find no informtaion about such a thing, either by further googling or poking around in menus locally.
    EDIT: Good grief! You spend ages trying to find something, then you post on here and it magically appears. You can click the title bar of TextEdit to produce a pull-down (that's new!), which shows an option to "Lock".
    So this one is just about answered by myself -- except for the part about whether "version delta" info is also removed when "Delete all backups" is used from within Time Machine.
    Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks.
    Bryan.

    If you're dealing with highly sensitive data, you should enable FileVault on your primary and backup volumes. That's the only way to ensure that all copies of your files will always be encrypted. Needless to say, you have to be very sure you won't lose the password. Optionally, you can store an alternate decryption key on Apple's servers, but then you have to trust Apple.
    That said, in my opinion it's too soon after the release of Lion to trust FileVault completely.

  • ITunes Library and Time Machine over network

    Hello everyone,
    I've got a 2008 unibody MacBook running Mountain Lion, I've been using Time Machine on a SeaGate external HDD, in addition to storing my iTunes Media on the drive.  This external drive was always plugged into my computer via USB.  Well the drive crashed so I've been looking into alternatives.  I bought an Extreme Base Station and was hoping I'd be able to plug a similar external drive and achieve the same results wirelessly.  After some research, it seems this is very unreliable.  I've also come across a WD MyBookLive (NAS) which has a lot of software built in to act as an iTunes server and work with Time Machine (which sounds perfect), however I haven't gotten either of those functions to work.  I'm guessing this might be a firmware issue on the MyBookLive, but it's also not letting me update it.  What can you guys suggest?  What would be the best way to make this work?  Thanks in advance!

    I could see this being a real issue for me. Is there any news on this front?
    Here's my background/intention with TM:
    1. I purchased a brand new MacBook for a family member, it's her first Mac experience
    2. My wife and I have have MacBooks which we adore (Plus 3 iPhones in the family, Apple TV, AirTunes, the works -- Don't brand me as a "Mac Hater" which these forums love to do as soon as you point out an oversight. let's stay on topic, please!!)
    3. We have a 500GB USB drive on my Wife's system for TM use
    4. I have a 150GB USB drive for my own TM use.
    5. In an effort minimize the amount of USB devices needed, I want to share my wife's 500GB drive for all of us to use TM with it. Seems logical, no?
    6. Well, it's a MacBook it is mounted on so it will go to sleep at times, even go on the road.
    Now, before people get excited (which they love to do here when you point out a potential issue with our beloved Macs) I fully understand the drive will not always be available. This is already the case as my TM drive is at home and I am at work with my MacBook as I type this. TM is not freaking out and will work happily when I mount the TM drive.
    However, will my stepdaughter have a corrupted backup if she has the remote TM drive mounted when my wife puts it to sleep? Even if no backup is running?? My SD is rather sharp, she understands that to do a backup she needs to mount the share and click "back up now" on TM. But should she forget to unmount when she's done is in for disaster??? That wouldn't make sense but from I'm reading here it sounds like the case?

  • Need help...reinstalling from time machine after booting to white screen w/ flashing "?" in a folder!

    I looked on line after seeing the flashing folder and found did the boot up holding the "Command" and "R" keys. I was set to reinstall OS X from my last time machine back up I had on an external drive. I was able to select the external drive and the back up, but when the next screen came up w/ where to install the back up, my internal hard drive did not come up. It is the factory installed HD, not off shelf. I had to plug in another external HD so I could at least try to install the back up. Please help....why won't the computer allow me to save it to my internal drive? Thanks.

    The flashing question mark is the firmware telling you it forgot (or can't see) the bootable OS X volume assigned to it.
    You can hold the option key down on a wired or built in keyboard and boot the computer, a lit of icons appears and if you see your OS X one, click the arrow.
    Once inside, head to System Preferences and set the Startup Disk again. Reboot to test if this worked and if so then your done.
    If you option boot and only see the Recovery HD (and BootCamp if installed) then something is wrong with the Macintosh HD partiton that contains OS X, files and programs.
    You have a backup of your data on the TimeMachine drive since the last time it was connected, however if you have more recent files and/or don't want to take a chance deleting your only copy on the boot drive, then you can do this.
    .Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    Then attempt to fix your issue in place
    ..Step by Step to fix your Mac
    Or erase the Macintosh HD partiton in Recovery HD and then restore from TimeMachine
    If that fails then you can erase Macintosh HD partition and reinstall OS X fresh
    Erase, formatting, OS X installs on Mac's
    and return files from the backup you made from the external boot drive.

  • How to access iTunes library in time machine after changing corrupt HD_

    Hi,
    have a mini with 2.66GHz Intel Core Duo where several months after installing Mavericks it seemed not to be able to handle it anz longer. Whatever the szmptoms and mz attempts to save the thing, I brought it to the Service Center which finally said the hard drive needed changing.They copied the content onto a new 750GB one, but then found that thez couldnt move the itunes folder. They said I should just retrieve it from my time capsule.
    Back home, time machine says it doesnt have a location set up for time machine, kind of telling me that my mini is not being recognised as my old computer.
    There s threads and sites that tell you how to avoid a full new backup after hd change when you ve managed to copy the data directly. I couldnt find anything about retrieving specific data from the time machine that were not successfully migrated when changing the hd.
    Any pointers, please?
    Thanks,
    H

    Hey,
    no I have not. I was kind of afraid that if I set up time machine, it'll create a new "account" and won't let me access the old backups in time machine. While user name hasn't changed, nor password, it seems that the service center has not copied my "preferences" or "profile" for the lack of a better word. It looks to me that time machine doesn't recognise the mini being the old one.
    i just linked up itunes again and at least through  itunes match I can see my library in icloud. But I don't want to download 130GB from icloud if I have them on my time capsule 10 feet away from the mini...

  • Restore iTunes library from Time Machine, after full hard drive wipe

    I had to do a full hard drive wipe on my MBP running 10.6.6, so I made a full Time Machine backup before hand. I reinstalled os x (10.6.3) and used migration assistant to restore my files from the Time Machine backup.
    Most of this process has been painless, however, when I open iTunes it's empty. I have all the music files, iTunes Library.itdb, iTunes Library Extras.itdb and iTunes Library Genius.itdb. Is there a way to restore my previous iTunes library with these files? I feel like this should be a pretty basic thing to do but I haven't found much/any documentation of it online. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Take the files that you list and the iTunes music folder from the TM b/u and drag them to the iTunes folder. To put it in simpler terms - drag the iTunes folder from the TM to the same location on the internal HD.
    By default the path should be HD>User>Your Account>Music>iTunes(your iTunes files are here)>iTunes Music (your music files are here)
