Retrieve -- not recover -- a single file

Is there a way to retrieve an older version of a file from Time Machine, without replacing the current version? I'd like to have both. Thanks.

Or, select the desired file and click the Restore button. Then Time Machine will put up this prompt:

  • Recover a single file in Content Services

    I've been asked to document how we would go about recovering a single file in Content Services. The Trash/Archive angle I'm clear on, but what about an extreme case. Lets say that someone created a file, trashed it, emptied the trash, and then it expired from the Archive before the user realized that they needed the file.
    Is it possible, and if so how would one go about getting the file back assuming that there is a full db backup once a day?
    Would enabling BFILE aging help? If so, how?
    On a related note: If archive is set to expire content after 1 month, but BFILE aging is turned off, when does deleted content get purged from the Archive? It's not 1 month, as I have deleted files in the Archive going back to January.

    Archive expiration and BFile aging are orthogonal. BFile pushes the LOBs of documents that are in the archive to bfile. Archive expiration deletes files from the archive after the configured time. If this is not the behaviour you are seeing please file a TAR and they can help check whether your system is configured correctly or if you are running into a bug.

  • How to recover a single file

    As far as we know there is no way to recover a single file out of a database (incremental or full) backup - full database recovery is no option.
    However, the recovery of single files used to be a common task of our user help desk.
    Any ideas how to achieve this with OCS?

    Oracle Files has a two level trash. When users delete a file it goes into their Trash folder - and they can recover such files themselves. If they empty their Trash folder the contents are moved to the Archive. The subscriber adminstrator can recover files from the Archive.
    The subscriber administrator can configure how long files stay in the Archive before they are deleted.
    hope that helps,

  • "not a valid single file Web Page"

    I have been receiving this error message when trying to export a Financial Report to excel. Version 9.3.0.1. The error appear to be hit or miss. Any advice would be appreciated.

    The issue is caused by the following setup: Print Service has not been configured completely with PDF viewer.
    Possibly a registry setting, browser setting or a "MIME type" registration that was required for MHTML documents. As a single file web page is also known as an "MHTML" document (HTML file with embedded graphics). The report generates an MHTML file and then gives the file the Office extension (i.e. '.xls', '.ppt' or '.doc').
    To resolve:
    1. Install PDF viewer and configure to Print Server
    2. Retest the issue.
    3. Migrate the solution as appropriate to other environments.

  • Deleting a single file in Trash goes to Desktop. Why?

    Hi,
    When I delete a single item in the Trash, it ends up on the Desktop.
    Why doesn't it just get deleted rather than be sent to the Desktop?
    Is there any way of deleting a single item in the Trash without deleting all of its content?

    With the file on your Desktop try restarting.
    Can not select a single file in the trash can to delete if the trash can is multiple files.
    There are ways of using Terminal.

    Instead of the move statement you need to use the append work area to internal table statement. you need to have the same structure for the work area and the internal tbale.
    Then use the modify data base table from internal table statement.

  • How can I save a page and all its component parts in a single file, like IE does as an MHT - it's much easier for mailing to people where page address not available?? (as in output from an airline booking site, for example)

    how can I save a page and all its component parts in a single file, like IE does as an MHT?
    It's much easier for mailing to people where page address not available?? (as in output from an airline booking site, for example)
    It is simply too painful to have to zip everything up into a single file to send. MHT format has been available for years now from IE, and with every new FF release it's the first thing I look for. I have been using FF for years, and hate having to come out of it, over into IE |(which I even took out of startup) and key everything in again, in order to send somebody something in a convenient format that they can open with a single click.
    I can't believe this hasn't been asked before, so have you looked at it and rejected it? Have MS kept the file format secret?
    Thanks
    MG

    This is not really an answer just my comments on your question.
    I am sure I recollect efforts being made to get mhtml to work with FF.
    Probably the important thing to remember about .mhtml is that if other browsers do support it they may need addons, and may not necessarily render the content correctly/consistently.
    There are FF addons designed for archiving webpages, you could try them, but that then assumes the recipient has the same software.
    You could simply save the page from FF to your XP pc; then offline open it with and save it using IE, before then emailing using FF, and attaching the .mht or mhtml file that you have now created on your PC.
    As an alternative method, in some cases it could be worth considering taking a screen grab of the required page, then sending that to the recipient as a single email attatchment using either a bitmap or jpeg file format for instance.
    Something such as an airline booking may be designed with a print option, possibly it could be worthwile looking at sending the print file itself as an email attachment.

  • How to transfer data from macbook pro to an external hard drive, im using (WD 1TB 3.0) ???. I cannot copy anything from my mac to it not a single file.

    how to transfer data from macbook pro to an external hard drive, im using (WD 1TB 3.0) ???. I cannot copy anything from my mac to it not a single file.

    ok - since you'll be sharing it with a PC - connect it to your windows pc - then format from there - instead of NTFS format - choose exFAT.
    or, you can read the link below on how to do it in dos mode.

    once you've formatted it - you can now use it in both your macbook and windows computer.

  • Error with Adobe Acrobat X "error opening the document. The file is damaged and could not recover"

    Good morning,
    I have a problem when generating PDF files with Adobe Acrobat X.
    When I give print a Word document 2003 ... 2007 ... 2010 ... and select a network drive to save the PDF file, I get the following error "error opening the document. Thefile is damaged and not could recover."
    The file is saved on your drive well ... but I always get this error.
    Any ideas???
    Thank you.

    First of all thanks for responding.
    The installed version of Adobe's Adobe OS X and Windows XP machines is thelatest patch level.
    The local system .... works well ... Open Office 2010 ... create a new Word document and save it locally ... and all good.
    The problem is though that same machine ... it enters network (not Windows network. OES2 is a network with Novell network client) ... and to open and create a new document to WORD .... when printing the PDF printer ... select a network drive... and when the document is saved well ... but it shows the error.
    I have an amount of hours lost with this ... I hope you can help me find a solution.
    Thank you very much.

  • I recently updated the iOS on my ipad 3 and lost all my files in the process. How do I recover my lost files which were not previously backed up?

    I recently updated the iOS on my ipad 3 and lost all my files in the process. How do I recover my lost files which were not previously backed up?

    If you don't have them backed up somewhere, then there's little possibility of recovering them. There are some utilities that can in some cases recover an inadvertently-deleted photo, but I've found none that can recover photos or other data from an iPad that was erased as part of an iOS upgrade. You can do a web search for something like "iPhone photo recovery" and you'll find some utilities you can try.

  • My challenge: recovering original iWeb files from 2010-2011 timeframe, which included a blog consisting of original postings from me and comments posted to the web from family and friends. I have the web archive files - but did not move iWeb files then.

    Background:  I started this blog while living overseas and going to sea with the Navy.  Missed the opportunity to move the iWeb files with content attached from the mobile.me server to another server.  Now, I have the original web archive files - good - but not the comments added to them by family and friends - bad.
    My ultimate objective is to create a hard-cover bound book of these files with the comments on the blog ... they document a rather significant experience in my family's life ... to do this, I need to recover the original files with postings.
    Any thoughts or insight would be sincerely appreciated!
    Thanks, cfwnavy

    You have replied to a post that is a month old now and the OP has never replied, so you are probably wasting your time here.
    If you read the OP's post and my reply, you will see that he will not be able to recover his blog and neither will you.
    If your Mac was stolen and you did not back up your iWeb domain.sites files, then you CANNOT get your blog back. 
    If you published your site to a host/server, then you can download it back onto your Mac and you will have to re-build your blog/website from scratch and re-publish, but all your replies and responses to posts will be lost and you can never get these back.
    My advice would be to re-create your blog in another format such as WordPress.com which is free and don't use iWeb again.
    There are plenty of alternatives out there.

  • Could not open error log file ''. Operating system error = 5(failed to retrieve text for this error. Reason: 15105).

    Hello
    When I try to start the SQl server service i get the following error:
    Event id 17058
    Could not open error log file ''. Operating system error = 5(failed to retrieve text for this error. Reason: 15105).
    As a test I have made sure the errorlog file ,and the entire drive it is, has everyone full control permissions, but to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas to resolve this issue?
    Thank you

    Hi,
    Try running:
    SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('ErrorLogFileName')
    Then verify that the account being used to run the SQL Server service account has access to the path output above.  If possible, you could try logging onto the server with the same account used to run SQL Server then navigate to the errorlog folder.

  • My HDD crashed and I had to reinstall my boot and programmes on a new HDD.  I managed to recover my library.itl.  How can i import it with the new version of itunes? When i try imprt playlist, it replies that it is not a validly exported file.

    It should be like the very first time you synced your phone with I-Tunes. It will notice you haven't synced before and just copy everything from your phone into I-Tunes. It shouldn't delete anything from the phone, at least it never has for me. It just puts a copy of everything into I-Tunes and even if you delete an app for example from your phone and you decide you want it back later, you can just go back into I-Tunes and copy it back over. Hope this helps.

  • Hp 6700 option to scan to single file or multiple files does not work-scans to single files only

    Cannot find a way  to scan multiple documents to a single file.  The option on the Scan function does not work!

    Hi @apdamw 
    Have you tried saving the scanned pages as a PDF? When you choose PDF in the format option, you will see the option to choose save all pages to a single file, or create a seperate file for each scanned page. Depending on what option you see, you will need to tick or untick the option.
