  • Restore an individual iphoto event from a time machine backup in Lion

    How can I restore an individual iphoto event from a time machine backup using Lion.
    Thanks

    If you know the file names of the photos you want to restore you can use  Find Any File  to search your Time Machine hard drive for that file.  When it is found you can drag it from the search window to the Desktop and import into iPhoto from there.
    Due to the nature of the Time Machine backup structure each search can take a while.  The search results window will look like this:

    How to recover the Safari 5.1.7 autocomplete data from a Time Machine backup on Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)?
    To solve other issues (Safari crashing sometimes when saving web pages), I selected:
    Safari - Empty Cache
    Safari - Reset Safari - Selected ALL - Reset
    I could later on recover some Safari autofill data restoring
    HD/Users/~/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist

    but other autocomplete data is missing, including the one when filling web form search fields in web pages, for instance, and also some username and password login data on some web sites.
    How to restore all such data from the Time Machine Backup?

    I also recovered:

    What else should I recover?

  • Is it possible to restore a single deleted note from a time machine backup?  If so how?

    is it possible to restore a single deleted note from a time machine backup?  If so how?

    Hi James,
    I was able to use VI server to invoke LV 6.1 VI's using LV 7.0 without issue.
    After discovering this and mentioning it in a post somewhere, Rolf Kalbermatter indicated that was expected. and I should not be suprised.
    So....
    Vi Server may help you.

    Do you know if the LabVIEW developers can/will create a way to overcome this problem rather than having to convert a VI through all the intermediate versions?
    To the best of knowledge NO.
    For each versino of LV there isw code included that runs behind the scenes when you open a VI from an earleir version which replaces old functions with the new versions. This is called Mutation code. To accomplish its task it has to know everything that changed between version X and Y. Since it is possible to baby step the versions up and the number of user that jump multiple major versions is small, I don't think any effort will go into that work.
    THe largest attachment I have managed to upload was 3 or 4 Meg.

  • Restore an individual iphoto event from a time machine backup!

    Can you restore an individual iphoto event from a time machine backup or do you have to restore an entire library?
    Whilst deleting some old photos from my library i seem to have accidentally deleted an entire event of photos. I regularly backup my iMac using TIme Machine, so was hoping that i could restore this one event. Is this possible and if so how do you do it?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Greetings Martyn,
    You can restore events from TimeMachine if you like.  Read here.
    Rather than clicking on individual pictures, you click on "Events", highlight the events you want, and then click restore.
    Hope that helps.

  • Restoring data from a Time machine backup of a potentially corrupted drive

    I seem to be the queen of failing hard drives, heh. I'm on my third in a year, and will be addressing the root cause of these failures, of course, but right now, I'm wondering how safe it is to restore from my Time Machine backup. Here's the scenario:
    -- Drive started throwing I/O errors, detected via SMARTReporter, about 2-3 months ago. No change in how the machine functioned, all OK.
    -- I continued to back up daily to TM & Crashplan
    -- While traveling for a month (and not backing up anymore, I left TM home), the machine started acting funny. Finder freezing, etc. I decided to clear some caches (by booting into safe mode) and see what happened.
    -- This caused the HD to fail completely. Recovery mode, target disk mode, booting into single user mode and command-lining fixes, and DiskWarrior all failed to rebuild the directory. Failures were in multi-linked files/directories, the catalog file, etc.
    -- I ordered a warranty replacment drive (and a new hard drive cable for starters).
    When I got home, I borrowed another machine and just did a Verify Disk on the TM backup. It came back totally clean. So, my question is: is it safe to restore the data from my TM backup to the new drive when it arrives?

    Shouldn't be any problem.
    Boot from your SL installer DVD (hold down the C key on startup or hold down Alt/option on start and choose the installer disc).
    OK the language page (if present). From the installer screen, go to the menu bar and choose Disk Utility; depending on the OS version it may be in the Utilities menu or Tools menu.
    In DU, select your internal drive in the sidebar (the top item with the makers name and serial no.). Run Repair Disk. If that comes up as disk OK, click the partition tab. Select the partiton from the drop-down above the graphic; 1 partiton is all you need. Go to the options button and ensure that the partition scheme is GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for G5 and earlier) and the file system to Mac OS Extended (Journalled). Name the partiton (usually Macintosh HD), click Apply.
    When that's finished, select the new volume in the sidebar (indented to the right below the drive) and go to the Erase tab, select Security options and select zero data (one pass is more than sufficient). Click erase. That will take quite some time; probably measured in hours and dependant on the size of the drive.
    When that's completed, close DU and continue with the installation.
    Shortly into the installation process, you'll be asked if you want to migrate data from another source. Select 'from a Time Machine Backup' and follow the prompts.

    That should leave you with the same setup as you had on the previous MB.

  • How long does it take to transfer data from a time  machine back up?

    I am in the process of transferring my data from my time machine back up from my old mac to my new mac and this seems to be taking a long time.  What is everyone's experience for how long this takes?

    That does seem a tad excessive. What connection are you using? Ideal is firewire; Airport would be slowest (quite possibly as long as you say).

  • Restoring a second hand MacBook from a time machine backup of a seperate second hand MacBook

    I just bought a second-hand macbook to replace the macbook my old employer took from me when I changed jobs. I have taken several time machine backups of my old system in the hope I can just setup the machine I just purchased to mirror the other one, including backing up my iPhone via iTunes.
    I have the snow leopard installation disk and can get copies of all the software I had installed if necessary. The old MacBook that was returned to my previous employer is being wiped of everything and setup new. Can anyone explain if / how I can setup my (new) second hand MacBook from another machines time-machine backup?
    Thanks,

  • Any way to restore iTunes and iPhoto libraries from failed Time Machine backup?

    Is there a way to restore iTunes and iPhoto libraries from an unmountable Time Machine backup?
    Background: I received an update alert on my iMac (mid-2010, 1TB) from Time Machine (wirelessly connected to a Time Capsule, 2TB 2013)  that it required an update and required rebooting, of course, it happened when I was in the middle of a project and I postponed the restart for later.  That evening I turned off the computer and coincidentally the next morning, the iMac would not start; it loaded to the Apple logo and about an 1/8 of the progress bar would load before the iMac would turn off.
    The iMac had been fine to that day (OS upgrades and all since 2010) so I was assuming something misfired when I declined the Time Machine update. I tried the PRAM and SMC resets mentioned in the forums but no dice. I then went into Disk Utility to try repairs and there were errors on the hard drive that could not be fixed. My next step was to erase the drive and restore from my Time Machine backup. Before doing that I checked Disk Utility and to my horror,  it told me that my Time Machine backups were unmountable so of course my first thought was that all my files were gone.
    The TC was under warranty so I called support and they referred me to the local Genius Bar. The Genius was great and showed me that my files weren't lost even though the Time Machine backup was unmountable. They recommended I erase the partitions, starting from scratch and I would have to transfer the Time Machine backup files manually by directly connecting an ethernet cable from the TC to the computer. If that didn't work, the hard drive was bad and needed replacement which they could take care of.
    I followed their recommendation and the hard drive is fine. I was so relieved to hear that my files were safe that I forgot to ask about all of the metadata that was lost in iTunes (de-selected songs, playlists, rankings, play counts) and iPhoto (geotags, names, etc). Any ideas / help? I sank considerable time into my music and photos and would love to have that time back.
    FWIW, I'm in the process of buying an external hard drive as a secondary backup to the TC as my confidence is a little shaken on the product line - the first time I ever actually need a backup and the backup is unmountable. My whole point of spending a little more and buying into the Apple ecosystem for a backup solution was to streamline the backup process and avoid these types of issues.

    Thank you for the reply. I tried the Disk Utility to repair my TC's Time Machine backup disk with no luck, it stopped with the message:
    Disk utility stopped repairing "iMac"
    Disk Utility can't repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files.
    It took a night but I was able to copy all the TC Time Machine files to the external hard drive as a backup to a backup just in case. I'm still pretty bummed the TC's backup didn't allow for Disk Utility's restore functionality. Fortunately, the iPhoto library backup I dragged to the iMac from the Time Capsule backup worked without a hitch. On the downside, the "iTunes Library.itl" backup I dragged over is locked so now I'm checking out the forums for any ways to fix that. I temporarily created a new iTunes library with all my apps and music but plan on reverting to the old iTunes library if possible so I can start syncing my iOS devices again.

  • Retrieving work files/data from a time machine backup off another computer

    If I create a time machine backup on one imac (imac 1) onto an external drive, I want to know if I can use this backup on another mac (imac 2) and restore or retrieve the old work files as and when required work from the external drive (time machine backup)? onto imac 2?

    You can't use Time Machine for Restoring on iMac 2 (if you made an TM Backup with iMac 1), but you can easily drag files from the "Time-machine-Backup-volume" in Finder on your iMac 2!

  • How do I restore iCal data from a Time Machine back-up?

    Recently, all my iCal data disappeared, possibly due my efforts to unlink iCal from Google calendars.
    I have read posts here, and have tried restoring ~/Library/Calendars in its entirety from a Time Machine back-up from about a week ago, where data definitely existed .... however, iCal remains empty. What am I doing wrong?

    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select 
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Restore it from your backup.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Accesing "hidden" library folders from a Time Machine Backup?

    My iMac crashed (apparently permanently) while attempting to install Mavericks.  I do have a Time Machine Backup, thank goodness.  However, my iWeb "domain.sites2" file is in a "hidden" directory within the "library/application support" folder.  How can access it from the backup drive itself -- since I haven't got my new/repaired iMac back yet to restore it to??
    (BTW, I'm ASSUMING that these hidden directories will be restored to the new machine when I do a restore from my Time Mahine back-up, right???)
    Thanks!
    Tony

    You should be able to just restore the photos.
    First though, you might consider making a backup of the drive that has the photos on it. I would get another external HD (anything except WD will do), and use CarbonCopyCloner to clone the drive.
    What you would do to restore the photos is just click on the drive that has the Time Machine backups on it, and navigate to one of the backups or the MobileSync folder. In TM the backups are arranged by date; I'm not sure about MobileSync. Then you just open the backup and navigate to the photos, and drag the folder with the photos to your desktop.
    I am sure the people at your local Apple store would help you.
    Sorry for your loss.

  • How do you migrate a FileVault-protected account from a Time Machine backup?

    Recently the hard drive on my Macbook Pro died and had to be replaced. Prior to the hard drive's failure, I had backed up my sole user account to an external hard drive using Time Machine. When setting up the new hard drive for the first time, I used Migration Assistant to restore my user account to my new hard drive. However, when I go to log in to the user account I transferred over, I encounter the following error: "You are unable to log in to the FileVault user account "User" at this time. Log in failed because an error occurred." I am absolutely positive I entered the correct password.
    My next step was to boot from the install disc and repair the hard drive and permissions. The same problem occurred when I tried to login.
    Then I wiped the hard drive and installed Snow Leopard normally without attempting to migrate anything. After the installation, I attempted migration, only to see an error message under the "Users" heading, saying, "User accounts protected by FileVault can't be transferred." Looking at the backups I have on my external hard drive, I cannot see any of my individual files, which I could when logged in on my previous hard drive.
    I have scoured the internet for possible solutions but none seem to fit the situation. The techs at the Genius Bar tried a few things beyond my level of technical know-how and were unsuccessful, and they did not seem too optimistic about my chances. They mentioned that I should consider a visit to a data recovery center if I could not find any way to fix this issue.
    This is immensely important, considering my FileVault-protected account nestled away in the Time Machine backups on my external hard drive contains all of my work. While I am willing to make the trip to the data recovery center, I would like that to be a measure of last resort. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated!

    A google search for You are unable to log in to the FileVault user account yielded many hits, including this one: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4184 which might help resolve your issue. I don't use TM, so that's all I have to offer.
