HT3275 Does Time Machine restore iWeb projects?

I was working in iWeb when it suddenly quit. When it restarted, everything I had done this morning was gone.
Does Time Machine restore this? If so, how do I do it?

Have you looked through Pondini's extensive TM help site?

    Does time machine back up all the emails in your apple mail?

    Yes, assuming of course, that you have not specifically excluded Mail from backups.

  • PLEASE HELP!! USE TIME MACHINE & RESTORED IMOVIE PROJECT CANNOT BE OPENED

    Please HELP!!!!  Imovie yesterday didnt save any of my project changes so I redid them today. And after I just closed Imovie again it did not save my changes from today. Thats 2 days of editing with no record of the changes
    I use Time machine but I have never needed to restore anything. I have gone into time machine, found the file, hit restore and  saved it on my desktop but I am not finding the file in imovie.
    When I click on the file and select open in imovie it is not opening or if it is, it is not the file with the changes when it diverts me to imovie. So basically I can see the file in Time machine, I am restoring it to my computer but I cannot locate it in imovie with the changes. I can see the file on my desktop but i cant open it to view other than in imovie which ofcourse isnt showing the changes.
    PLEASE HELP!!! IM DEVASTATED!!!!
    I am working from an external hard drive. Yesterday I had the prompt appear that I had no more disk space (on my computer) so today i deleted a bunch of things and didnt get that prompt. And in anycase i am working off an external.
    Please help me!!! I need a saviour!!!

    Have you tried deleting iMovie's preference file?
    Close iMovie and go to your Home folder(YourUserName)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.imovie.plist
    Drag this plist file to the Trash. Don't worrry; iMovie will create a new fresh one when you relaunch it.
    Reopen iMovie and see if it works ok now.
    By the way, if you have more than one iMovie version on your computer, be sure to trash the correct plist.
    iMovie 6 is 'com.apple.imovie.plist' but iMovie 8 is 'com.apple.imovie7.plist' and I expect that iM9 would be 'imovie8.plist' If you find only the one plist and you have only one version of iM, just trash that one.
    Post back if this does not help.

  • Does Time Machine restore my hard links?

    I have "thousands" of ("ln old new") personal hard links for many different reasons. I decided to test if Time Machine would restore them in an emergency.
    I created a folder with two hard-linked files, ran TM, removed the folder, then restored it using TM. The two files came back NOT hard linked.
    So the question is, does this prove that TM does not restore hard links?

    I'm not sure what Apple can do to fix this. Files and folders in TM backups are full of a web of hard links. That's how TM works; backup snapshots have hard links to the original file in the backup.
    I guess when a file is restored TM assumes there was no hard link on it in the first place, and so removes it. If Apple can set up a way for TM to flag a backup file so that TM knows that it had a hard link on it in the first place, perhaps that hard link can be restored too.
    I've been wondering about this, too. It's way beyond my expertise, but wouldn't using Time Machine to back up a hard link require it to hard link to a hard link? I guess it would need a hierarchy of hard links, and a way to only partly "unwind" them to do a restore?
    I know you can't make an alias to an alias (OSX lets you do it, sort of, but the new alias is actually to the original, not the previous alias, so you lose the trail). So I wonder if you even could make a hard link to a hard link?

  • Does time machine "restore" change all subsequent versions?

    Hi all,
    This evening I some how accidently "restored" a document I had been working on to a version I started about a month ago.  I honestly have no idea how this happened since I hadn't even opened Time Machine when noticed the document was the old version (the program and document had been open on my laptop for days). Anyway, I thought maybe I could just go back to the version from yesterday or a few days ago, but it seems that once today's version is restored to March 28th's version, all subsequent versions are also restored.  Is this right?? Am I missing something here?  If there is any way to find a previous version of this document (that is not the March 28th one!), I would be estactic.
    Thanks!

    Your backups never change. Restore again from a snapshot taken just before the unwanted restoration.

  • Does Time Machine Restore old iLife?

    Hello,
    I am about to purchase a new iMac and then use TM to clone my HD over to the new iMac, and I wanted to know, if I have a newer iLife on the iMac I buy, will the older one replace the newer on when I transfer everything? Sorry if I am unclear. Thanks in advanced!

    Depending on how you do it, no. See #19 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.

  • HT3275 oes time machine back up and restore boot camp and the OS inside boor camp

    running OS Lion on mac book pro using time machine . Does time machine restore when doing a global restoration of the OS and disk, windows inside parallels and windows inside boot camp?

    Why?  Just to make things easier and more stable I guess.  The nice thing for me is that I know I can totally wipe my Mac drive, do a clean install of Mac OS X, and not have to worry about anything on my Windows Boot Camp drive being touched or altered and then having to worry about fixing it somehow.
    If you want to delete your Boot Camp partition you can do so by running Disk Utility - it is very simple.  You could then do a restore from your Time Machine backup and not have Boot Camp there anymore and have your whole hard drive for use just for Mac OS X.

  • FCP X does not recognize projects and events on USB drive after a time machine restore of the MBP macintosh disk

    FCP X does not recognize projects and events on USB drive after a time machine restore of the MBP macintosh disk.
    I upgraded from an i5 to an i7 15" MBP and restored my files using my time machine backup. All seemed to go ok, except I had to use the migration assistant because on the initial boot the MAC didn't recognize the backup database on the USB device. MAybe this is a hint.
    Since when I start FCPX it too cannot finnd the project or event directories.
    Before my upgrade, I had a choice of files either on the Macintosh disk or the 2TB USB disk.
    Now only files on the Macintosh are accessible to FCPX. The USB drive is visible under events and project but it finds no projects or events.
    Please help if you can.
    Thanks
    Barry

    Thanks... alas no one has responded.
    I think I have the structure that you are recommending.
    I have a root level directory (Final Cut Events) with the files in them.
    The puzzling thing is that it used to work before the migration!.
    Anyway I'm going to move the contents to the root and see what happens.
    On a slightly different note...
    I also posted a question about CPU utilization. Can I ask a question or two?
    While rendering a short clip, I noticed burst of disk activity when the render started (likely loading the media files into ram since I have about 4Gigs available, then almost no activity while the render is happening, then more disk activity when its done.
    However the cpu activity is not as high as I would have expected since rendering requires a lot of cpu.
    What is your experience? I know some render is done by the GPU, but in my older i5 the CPU was about 100%, now in my i7 its about 50%.
    Please look at the attached utilization for CPU and disk activity.
    Thanks for any thoughts... Barry

  • Does Time Machine really restore all files of app?

    Hi mac people,
    I have done a clean install, then i don't want use migration assistant to move back things, but when i move back garageband 6.0.5, i open it, then i realise that only app is been restore but all the loops and audio is not, then i search online found that i have to move those things by my own,
    So this problem make me wondering does time machine really fully restore?
    I also wondering how about other apps or files do they really all been restore even they SEEN like no problems?
    Thanks for helping !!!!!

    then i realise that only app is been restore but all the loops and audio is not, then i search online found that i have to move those things by my own,
    If you want everything restored from Time Machine, don't use Migration Assistant but use Setup Assistant - migrate al files when you are first prompted to restore from Time Machine or another Mac, after a clean install.
    you can select what to restore - the settings, the libraries, the user data.
    Since you do not want to use the assistants - to restore Garageband 6.0.5 manually, you transfer all files and folders in the system library:
    /Library/Application Support/GarageBand/
    and the loops from
    /Library/Audio/Apple Loops/
    Your plug-ins from
    /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/
    and the corresponding folders in your user library ~/Library/

  • Where does time machine store content that would be found in the Finder window under "All Images, All Movies, All Documents"? Also, I have many Garageband projects and mp3 files I can't find.

    Where does time machine store content that would be found in the Finder window under "All Images, All Movies, All Documents"? Also, I have many Garageband projects and mp3 files I can't find.

    Easiest way to find time machine files is to open up the folder or application(works for email and iphoto)  they were in - then click on time machine ICON or enter time machine from the time machine menu to go back through the files.

  • Does Time Machine provide the same capability as Windows Restore?

    Hi - I am exploring backup and restore options for the MAC.  I am most familiar with Windows and Windows Restore, where you can restore a Win machine back to the same state it was at a particular point in time ( including the OS and system files. Does Time Machine provide this same capability?  Thanks in advance for your time.

    Yes, it provides the ability to recover personal documents only or a complete snapshot of the operating system with applications, files and settings present during the time that snapshot was taken.

  • HT201250 Does Time Machine backup and restore Bootcamp?

    I am replacing defective hard drive in an iMac that I primarily use as a pc under Bootcamp.  I have to find some way to clone and restore the bootcamp partition.  I was told today by a Genius at the Apple store that I should buy a 2 TB external (which I did for $150)  and run Time Machine.  He assured me that my bootcamp partition would be backed up along with the entire mac partition and that I would be able to restore everything perfectly on the new hd. Now that I am home and continuing my research, I can't find anywhere that says it will work.  Documentation on Time Machine fails to  mention bootcamp.  So, does Time Machine backup and restore bootcamp or not?  And will it be bootable after the restore?  Help!

    I think you've got it! I have never used WinClone so I cannot attest to how well it will work, but it's pretty much all lthere is. You will have to create a new Boot Camp partition on the new drive, and it should be the same size as the partition you cloned.
    Be sure you prep the new hard drive:
    Drive Preparation
    1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    7. Quit DU upon completion and return to the installer. Now install Snow Leopard or restore from your Time Machine backup.

  • Can Time Machine restore a deleted page???

    Please help me...
    I accidentally deleted a web page from my iWeb site. I don't want to restore the entire site from Time Machine... just the one page. I've updated the blog and other pages since I deleted the page "gallery" that I wish to restore.
    Does Time Machine save individual pages with photos? If so, where?
    Can anyone help??

    You'll have to restore the domain.sites2 file in your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder from a time that would have the missing page. Select Both in the restore window:
    Click to view full size
    Then you can merge the old and the new domain file into one file with iWebSites. Then drag the missing page from the older site into the newer one and delete the remains of the older site.

  • Time Machine "restore" experiences with Logic 8 .... anyone?

    Hi All
    Purely ... in anticipation ....
    Has anyone had an "at the coalface" experience of re-building their Logic set-up (& OSX etc)from a Time Machine back up? It hasn't actually happened to me yet but in the middle of a large project recently there was a moment when I thought I was going to find out... thankfully the crisis was averted!
    I'm sure many users here are in similar boats - ie. I have VSL / PLAY / Kontakt 3 / Melodyne etc etc. So there are a long and boring list of installation & authorisation procedures to navigate if ever there were the need to start from scratch in the event of a major crash scenario.
    I wonder if I am being naive in assuming that Time Machine is the reliable one stop shop back up that it's supposed to be?(ie. in my case backing up - my main HD - audio drive - sample drive - project drive) In a "crisis" (and assuming any hardware problems are fixed or replaced) does Time Machine put everything back in it's rightful functioning place with one simple "restore"?
    Anyone had any real world Time Machine experience? ..... or handy hints?
    Is there anything further we should be doing?
    Thanks for any feedback
    Dick

    TimeMachine has saved my arse twice now.
    First time I had a project that all of a sudden would not open up in Logic.
    I restored the project from one that was a couple of hours old in TimeMachine and all was good.
    Second time I had a catastrophic hard drive failure on my main audio drive (an external FW800 500GB maxtor). Drive was totally unrecoverable. Replaced it with a new Lacie drive and renamed it to match my old audio drive. TimeMachine saw it and automagically restored everything from my old audio drive.
    However!! I still have one major gripe with TimeMachine: my backup drive (1TB Lacie) is full and TimeMachine only allows you to backup to one drive which is a serious limitation! If anyone knows of a way to span backups over multiple drives I'd very much appreciate it. Because of this I don't consider TimeMachine to be a serious backup solution for professional use.

  • Update from 10.7.2 to 10.7.3 blown - Time Machine Restore blown

    Hello,
    summary of events:
    Update form 10.7.02 to 10.7.3 went wrong
    After Time Machine Restore no more Recovery Partion
    Lost about what to do
    On Saturday, I startet to update 10.7.2 to 10.7.3 on my MB Pro 15" (2007) Apples Software Update showed the combo update, and so I started download and installation. Just before that, I had run Time Machine on an external USB drive, so I was relaxed.
    After about 2 hours, the update was still running with no progress. After another hour, I forced a restart. Not very suprisingly, after the login, the wheel beneath the Apple logo kept on running.
    So I restarted from the Recovery Partition, selected my Time Machine-Backup from the external USB drive, selected my internal HD as target and clicked on "go".
    While the progress bar showed progress, I waited. Then it seemed to be complete and the MBP restarted. Now I got a folder with a question mark. My heart rate did not yet accelerate, since I had a back up, right?
    So I restarted again trying to boot from Recovery Partition - BUT, there was no longer a Recovery Partition. Or at least, nothing I could boot from.
    What options do I have? I could get my hands on a DVD that contains an Lion installation from the app store, but that is not the most recent version, as far as I can tell. If I would go that  way:
    Does the version of the Lion-app matter?
    Will it create a Recovery Partition?
    If not, how else could I restore a complete Time-Machine backup?
    Any help and suggestions are very welcome :-)
    Regards
    Jimbo
    Naturally, I a am mad as **** at Apple. First, that they abandoned physical media for Mac OS distribution, and secondly that some not so bright lad thought it not necessary to secure the availability of the Recovery Partition under any circumstances short of phyical damage. This really *****, guys!

    Ok... I'm not sure if the following suggestions will work with Filevault 2 enabled. I guess you can try after you create a backup for safety.
    You can recreate the Recovery HD two ways. One is to reinstall Lion using a bootable USB thumb drive of the Recovery HD created with the Lion Recovery Disk Assistant. Or from a bootable USB thumb drive with the Lion installer restored to it.
    A second way, which I have used many times, is to follow the instuctions at this site using Terminal commands. Step 3 is what you want to follow. The instructions use the RecoveryHDUpdate.dmg file downloaded from Apple to recreate the Recovery HD. It works great!
