Missing Spaces and Time Machine dock icons (Tiger to Snow Leopard upgrade)

I noticed on my MacBook (Leopard to Snow Leopard upgrade) that it has icons for Spaces and Time Machine in the dock to the left of the divider. These are missing from the dock on my iMac that I upgraded from Tiger to Snow Leopard. They are both System Preferences with no option for adding to the dock in the Preferences and the Preference icon in "Show All" in System Preferences is not selectable. I located them in System/Library/PreferencesPane but dragging the preference pane file to the dock doesn't work. I did a Show Package Content but did not see anything in the folder that could be dragged like an application. I can put it on the right with the stacks but is there a way to add a Preference to the dock on the application side?

Time Machine is in your Applications folder and Spaces is in your Applications/Utilities folder. You can drag them to the dock from there.

  • Gmail Offline and Time Machine on Mac OS X Snow Leopard

    Hi
    I am considering downloading my whole Gmail inbox (7GB) to use as Gmail Offline ...in Firefox, because it doesn't work with Safari - btw, any ideas when and if it will?
    But my worry is how Time Machine is going to react to this - will it back up incrementally, or just make 7GB backups every time there's changes?
    If I lose my laptop (or if someone steals it) will they be able to hack the Gmail Offline to reveal its contents?
    Also, if I lose my external, Time Machine hard-drive, will someone be able to access my Gmail Offline without knowing my password?
    Is it encrypted, or just a simple password?
    Thanks!

    That depends on how Gmail stores it's data. Some 3rd-party mail apps (such as Entourage and Thunderbird) keep everything in one big file or database. Those are backed-up in full anytime there's the smallest change. AppleMail keeps each message in a separate file, so only the ones that change are backed-up each time.
    There are some workarounds. You can exclude the database from normal Time Machine backups, and write an Applescript or Automator workflow to copy the database periodically to a file that's included. Or put a separate partition on your Time Machine drive, and have it copy directly to that. You can run it manually, or use an iCal event to trigger it.
    If I lose my laptop (or if someone steals it) will they be able to hack the Gmail Offline to reveal its contents?
    Also, if I lose my external, Time Machine hard-drive, will someone be able to access my Gmail Offline without knowing my password?
    Unless you encrypt them, yes. Most likely, though, anyone who steals either is going to resell it for the value of the hardware, not your emails.
    Is it encrypted, or just a simple password?
    Time Machine backups are not encrypted, and have the same password requirements as your Mac. The average thief won't be interested, and likely won't know much about Macs (and you can't read Time Machine backups with a PC).
    But it's not difficult for someone with Mac expertise to get at either, unless they're encrypted.

  • Time Machine HD not writeable after Snow Leopard upgrade

    Drive worked fine previously. Now getting an error upon mount and when TM tries to backup, that the HD cannot be repaired and is read only. Unable to repair manually or even with Disk Warrior. Needs format. But I don't wanna lose this data and no place to store it. Any solution?

    no. if disk utility and disk warrior can't fix it you do need to reformat it and if you need some data on it you have to copy it somewhere else first (if it will let you). there is no way around this.

  • Can I back up computer with time machine on lion then reinstall snow leopard and restore from backup safely

    Can I back up computer with time machine on lion then reinstall snow leopard and restore from backup safely?

    If your machine came with Snow Leopard or earlier and you have your install disks, yes, you can reinstall SL. However, you will need to erase the entire hard drive so you will lose all your files. Also note that there are some apps (such as Mail) which can't be downgraded "automatically" such as with a restore from Time Machine. Here is some info on TM:

  • Time Machine Not Recognized After Clean Snow Leopard Install

    I've searched for this particular question.
    I was unhappy with Snow Leopard dragging. I wanted a clean install. I did not have the original snow leopard installation for my computer, so I got a different snow leopard DVD. This has apparently caused problems with time machine.
    The clean install in complete. I am now ready to migrate my Time Machine backup onto my iMac24". However, Time Machine is not recognized--at least not in the way I want.
    When I plug my time machine HD into the USB, snow leopard asks if I want to use this for future back-ups. I decline, because I specifically want to restore what has already been backed up. The HD is visible as an external device--and I can in fact see the raw data of my time machine backup stored in folders.
    However, when I enter migration assistant, time machine is invisible. On the page where I am expecting to select time machine, I instead get a perpetually spinning circle icon.
    I suspect time machine is "linked" to the prior snow leopard operating system, rather than to the computer ID. Obviously, this is a bit of a mistake on my part. However, I'm already into the breech and I've got no choice but to go forward.
    Please advise how to redirect my time machine to its new master (same computer, different snow leopard registration)?
    Thanks so very much.

    Retail disk? Yes, it was the snow leopard CD.
    I used a single license snow snow leopard CD install the first time around, when snow leopard was first released. At at that time I "upgraded" my system from leopard.
    This time, I used a different physical disk with snow leopard with a family license. This time I did a "clean" install in which I first erased my hard drive using disk utilities.
    There were no problems with the installation.
    As I say, my time machine hard drive is "recognized" by the computer as an external drive. It just is not recognized when I utilize the migration assistant. It is also "recognized" as a time machine, but only as a potential time machine for prospective use to update going forward, whereas I want it to open up as a time machine for my iMac that I just wiped clean yesterday.
    Thanks for your assistance.

  • Unable to import or copy photos from a time machine back up saved from snow leopard into iPhoto now running on lion

    unable to import or copy photos from a time machine back up saved from snow leopard into iPhoto now running on lion

    The correct method of restoring photos from Time Machine is to restore the entire library.
    The way that TM backs up files makes nearly impossible to go into the backup via the Finder and recover individual files. So you will have to restore a library that contains the photos you need being sure to select the option to keep both versions.
    Then open the restored library and export those photos you need.  Open your original library and import those photos.  After that you can delete the recently restored library.

  • Missing mailbox and time machine

    Somehow I lost a mailbox from Mail. No problem I thought, I've got time machine. So I go to the Mail folder in my library then to the mailbox and start Time Machine. I highlight the mail box and ask time Machine to restore. What I get when I open Mail is an empty mailbox folder.
    Since the mailbox was more important than my recent mail, I opened applications and restarted Time Machine. I went back a couple of days until my mailbox was present and asked Time Machine to restore the Mail program. It did but still with an empty mailbox folder for my missing mailbox.
    So I tried again with Time Machine and actually opened my missing mailbox where I could see all the e-mail and open individual letters. It was there. I highlighted the email and Time Machine said click restore. I did and I don't think anything happened. At least my mailbox folder was still empty when I opened Mail.
    Is there any way to restore a missing mailbox with Time Machine?

    Actually I must have done something right. If I searched Mail for an email address I knew was in my missing mailbox, it could find it and actually open the letter, but it didn't tell me where it was.
    In looking under the mailbox menu down at the bottom it says "rebuild." So I opened my empty mailbox and clicked on rebuild. Like magic, my mail reappeared.

  • Time Machine white background after installing Snow Leopard

    Hello,
    I need bit of advise regarding Snow Leopard Upgrade. I recently upgrade mac 10.5 to 10.6 (Snow Leopard), when I do my normal backup using Time Machine, the background is white. I have restarted my Macbook and also read some of the Mac Forums. I've even followed the steps read in one of the post.
    If Barry's suggestion doesn't work, try these:
    Do a Repair Disk (not permissions) on your TM drive, via Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder).
    Re-select your TM drive via TM Preferences > Change Disk.
    If you're using Spaces, try disabling it, at least temporarily.
    If you have any sort of video out cable, especially HDMI, try disconnecting it, at least temporarily.
    Do a "complete reset" of TM, as in item #B3 Time Machine - Troubleshooting User Tip
    However that doesn't work either. Could it be a bug or if there's something I should do to bring time machine back to normal? I like the warp !!!! Thank you

    Hi, and welcome to the forums. That was me.
    Since then, we've learned that this can be caused by a corrupted Finder preference file, so delete the file:
    +*<your home folder>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Finder.plist+*
    and try again. You'll have to Restart the Finder (use the Force-Quit) menu, and re-enter it's preferences.

  • Time Machine in Lion, restore in Snow Leopard

    Does anyone know if I use Time Machine to backup my documents and applications within Lion, re-install Snow Leopard and its apps from the disks that came with my iMac whether Time Machine in Snow Leopard will be able to use the backup I made in Lion to restore my files?  I am worried about backward compatibility and I have to "downgrade" back to Snow Leopard.
    I am running a 27" screen iMac.

    I had the same question ..... take a look at the discussion linked below... for a comprehensive explanation on the same.

  • Tiger to Snow Leopard upgrade fails  with buffer overflow

    I'm not sure where to proceed with the following situation:
    I have a 17" MB pro with 1GB memory and 22GB free hard drive space. I booted into the installer from the CD and stepped through the prompts without changing any options to the point where the install starts doing it's magic. Shortly after starting, the install will crash complaining about a buffer overflow during/just after the part where it's finding system files.
    I originally tried to do this with only 10GB free, but after the first failure, I did a repair disk using the Disk Utility and removed a bunch of really old files I no longer needed, which brought the available disk space to 22GB, but this did not help anything. At this point, I'm not sure what to do. I use Carbon Copy Cloner as a backup so I can do a full wipe and install, however I would prefer to avoid that as it is a lot of work to get things back.
    Any assistance is greatly appreciated!
    Error log follows. I cut out a lot of stuff so please let me know if that detail is needed.

    Regarding the need to buy the packaged bundle, I keep seeing folks here and elsewhere claiming that is not necessary.
    That's because they have not read, or concern themselves with the license agreement. Section 2. "Permitted License Uses and Restrictions", section C says on http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/macosx106.pdf
    It's been read forwards, backwards, and upside down. Nowhere on the packaging is there any identification of the $29 (or $49 family pack) version as only suitable as a "Leopard upgrade" version. There are vague mentions about it on Apple's online sales page and in press releases. I've read the license terms thoroughly and the only conclusion that could reasonably be conferred is that the $29 version carries a "single user" license simply because it doesn't say "family pack". There are plenty of reports that it installs over Tiger just fine.
    Granted I've read numerous reports and I installed my copy over Leopard. However - imagine someone who vaguely heard about it, walked into a store and bought a copy, thoroughly looked over the box and the license terms (within the disc), and installed it in good faith over Tiger. There is ZERO, ZIP, NADA on the package that would lead anyone to believe it is anything but a copy with a "SINGLE USER" license where the terms don't preclude installing over Tiger.
    C. Leopard Upgrade Licenses. If you have purchased an Upgrade for Mac OS X Leopard license, then subject to the terms and conditions of this License, you are granted a limited non-exclusive license to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-branded computer as long as that computer has a properly licensed copy of *Mac OS X Leopard already installed on it.*
    The emphasis above is mine.
    While this may not be enforced by a software key, it is there in the license agreement on the PDF included on the CD, when you purchase the under $100 licenses, which are also called "Upgrade" on the store.
    There's an opinion that "Leopard upgrade" only applies to the "Up To Date" versions that require proof of purchase of a recent Mac computer. The reports on those installer discs are that they do in fact check for a valid Leopard installation.
    The following has the most in-depth discussion on the subject of whether or not the license allows for Snow Leopard over Tiger that I've seen so far:
    http://www.mackb.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/mac/26361/the-29-purchase-price-of-Snow-Leop ard
    This is the best description I've heard on it, from someone who identifies himself as "David Empson":
    http://www.mackb.com/Uwe/Threads/Single.aspx/mac/26361?ArtId=1j5mofd.1pw6lllbtpj dwN%25dempson%40actrix.gen.nz
    If someone walks in and buys Snow Leopard, without written notice from
    Apple that they are buying an Upgrade version which requires Leopard,
    and without discussing that point with the seller, the buyer is under no
    obligation to have researched their purchase in advance and know all of
    Apple's publicity statements from three months ago.
    They are buying it in good faith, and the contract (licence) is valid.

  • Problem with tiger to snow leopard upgrade

    Hi,
    I wanted to upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard and bought a retail 10.6 Snow Leopard install disc MC223Z/A. on the box. 2Z691-6428-A on the disc.
    It would not let me install it unless I erased and partitioned the destination disc thus losing my settings and preferences like the old Archive and Install as it suggested in the article mentioned below..
    I tried this after reading this article
    http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9137147/Upgrading_to_Apple_s_Snow_Leopard _OS_What_you_need_to_know.
    I presume now that the article was written for upgrading from Leopard and not Tiger.
    Perhaps I missed something when I tried.
    Any ideas from the experts.
    Regards from UK,
    Alan

  • 1st Gen Intel IMac - Will Tiger to Snow Leopard upgrade work?

    My IMac dates from late 2006 & was purchased when Apple first started selling the Intel Dual Core machines. Here's my specs:
    Model Identifier:    iMac4,1
      Processor Name:    Intel Core Duo
      Processor Speed:    2 GHz
      Number Of Processors:    1
      Total Number Of Cores:    2
      L2 Cache (per processor):    2 MB
      Memory:    2 GB
      Bus Speed:    667 MHz
      Graphics card is an ATI Radeon X1600
      Current Tiger version is 10.4.11
      Disk space not an issue, have > 177 GB available
    Snow Leopard supposedly requires only 1 MB of RAM, but I've seen other discussions with commenters recommending 2 MB minimum (kinda took me back to my PC days..."look at the specs on the Microsoft package and double them"). I haven't opened the Snow Leopard package yet, so I can still return it if necessary. So what do the community's experts think...will I be able to do the upgrade without any problems, or am I setting myself up for a world of pain? Thanks in advance to all!

    Yes you can, as the great Kappy guy sez, but the Core Duo only supports 32 bit mode, not 64 bit mode. & 10.6.x is as far as you'll ever be able to upgrade it.
    Do max the RAM out if it isn't already...

  • Flash, Adobe Air, Time Machine, Safari not  working with Snow Leopard

    Really need some help with this.
    Did an archive and install of Leopard then installed Snow Leopard. No problems yet.
    90% of Video sites would not work. Uninstalled and reinstalled Flash. Uninstalled ShockWave, could not reinstall with 10.6.1.
    Attempt to install adobe air, received this message: "couldn't write the application to hard drive - please verify and try again." performed verify disk, disk permissions, repair permissions all ok.
    Attempted to install Air again, same message.
    Tried to use Time Machine to open Safari from a week ago, received message: I did not have permission.
    Using Macbook Pro, 2g memory, 80g hd, with 42g free.
    Backed up on ext. HD,
    Oh, one more, getting a lot of spinning wheels when using Safari that causes a lockup and hard re-start.
    I have an expensive piece of software that uses adobe air and I create videos for my business and I'm not able to do so now.
    Can anyone give me any ideas what I can do.
    Thanks,
    Z

    After a couple of days of problems with Snow Leopard and flash, safari etc... I figured out the problem is with my account.
    I created a new admin account and everything seems to be working. Well almost.
    a couple of things I've noticed are right clicking on dock icons does nothing, no option to quit or keep in dock.
    Apple Techs', had me change my account months ago to fix a problem with safari crashing. It didn't really work and more problems resulted.
    *So now my big question is: How do I move need items over to the new account.* I don't want to move everything over as I might bring what caused the problem in the first place.
    What I need are several apps,(like ilife, iwork, firefox, devonthink, 1password etc.) downloads, desktop, docs, files, and book marks.
    *What is the best way for me to do this?* Is there anything I need to do re: Snow Leopard on the new account?
    I feel like I have a new and functioning Mac again just around the corner.
    Looking for your help, thanks,
    Z

  • Entering Time Machine - slow after update to Snow Leopard

    Entering Time Machine via the icon in my top menu bar has never been fast. However, last week I moved from Leopard to Snow Leopard (since fully updated). Tonight I needed to restore a file from yesterday's backup, so I selected "Enter Time Machine." The "universe" with the timeline along the right loaded, but several minutes passed and I was still not able to use the arrows at the lower right to move backwards in time. Nor would the timeline at the right show any date markers other than "Now," "Today," and "January 2010" and "January 2009." I let it sit for several minutes with no apparent progress. Even the "cancel" button took nearly 60 seconds to function.
    As an alternative, I tried running the Time Machine application from my apps folder. It was slower to bring up the "universe" but did, after a couple of minutes, get me to a window with a functional timeline.
    Any idea what the problem might be? I feel like entry into my Time Capsule has gotten slower and slower, but tonight was really egregious.

    It does take a while over a network; there's a lot of "setup" that seems to be required.
    You might try the things in #E4 of [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).

  • (Non-Time Machine) backup software recommendations for Snow Leopard

    I have been a long time user of Retrospect Desktop backup software, up to and including version 6.1. It has saved my skin at least twice when I've had catastrophic hard drive failures. I've been using 6.1 successfully in Leopard, under Rosetta. However, as I prepare to upgrade to Snow Leopard, I discovered Retrospect 6.1 will incompatible. According to Roxio:
    +Snow Leopard stores some files, including some applications and all files in the /System/ directory, in a compressed format. Retrospect can only restore files in their uncompressed format. This means that a complete OS restore will require an additional 4-5 GB of available storage space on the destination. When /System/ files are restored uncompressed, the Mac OS X may complain about certain files, such as fonts and kernel extensions, not being installed properly.+
    Naturally I thought about upgrading to Retrospect 8, which is supposed to be compatible with Snow Leopard, until I read the disaster stories of bug-ridden unfinished Retrospect 8.0 software being released as golden master without a manual. These inexcusable problems persisted through 8.0 and 8.1. Version 8.2 is in beta and addresses restoring from previous version backups and PowerPC compatibility, but it remains to be seen if Roxio will salvage Retrospect and return it to a position of respectability. (Too bad EMC bought Dantz years ago.)
    In any case, I'm now looking for other backup software. I need software that does incremental backups, can restore the system to a previous state existing at the time of a given previous (not necessarily most recent) backup, and supports user-defined rules for file inclusion/exclusion, as well as automated scripts. Automatic verification of the backup by comparing original files to the backed-up version (like in Retrospect) is nice, though probably unnecessary most of the time. Time Machine is nice but in my experience doesn't support some of these features and I'm not entirely comfortable relying on Time Machine alone because I've encountered some problems in the past where my backups were lost.
    I'm considering Carbon Copy Cloner, but not sure it does true incremental backups and can restore the system to a state that existed at the time of a previous -- rather than most recent -- backup. Also considering Intego's Personal Backup and ProSoft's Data Backup 3.
    I would love to hear any recommendations you might offer regarding these or any other backup software solutions.
    Thanks.

    Time Machine can do all that except the scripts - I'm not sure what you're wanting to script - and it doesn't have rules for exclusion, but does let you exclude any items you specify. From the sounds of it, though, you're trying to make your backups more complex than they need to be. Keep it simple and there's less chance for something to go wrong.
    I'm not entirely comfortable relying on Time Machine alone because I've encountered some problems in the past where my backups were lost.
    You shouldn't be comfortable relying on any single backup program. Backup software is still software, and as such can have bugs and suffer failures. For optimum safety, you should use two different backup programs to maintain a minimum of two separate backups.
    I'm considering Carbon Copy Cloner, but not sure it does true incremental backups and can restore the system to a state that existed at the time of a previous
    CCC does do incremental backups, but restoring to a specific state might not be entirely possible. When a file is added, it is simply added to the clone when CCC runs its next backup. There's no way to know which files were added when, AFAIK. When a file is removed, it is moved from its old location in the clone to an identical path inside a dated folder in the same location as the clone.
    Personally, I rely on a combination of TM and CCC. I keep one backup with TM, which lets me go back to any time I want. I also keep several CCC clones of just my user folder (everything else is easy enough to recreate if necessary), with one of them in the safe deposit box at the bank at all times.

Maybe you are looking for
