Time Machine only shows Finder, I can't see how to get a view of yesterdays Outlook

HI have a MacbookPro 2.53GHz INtel Core 2 Duo with 4GB RAM 1067MHz DDR3 and am running Office for Mac 2011.
There is a Time MAchine installed and it backs up automatically. In the past I have been able to retrieve emails or documents from Time Machine with no problem. HOwever yesterday I accidentally deleted an email and its not even showing in trash. I wanted to go onto Time Machine and look for it but when I enter it only gives me the Finder window and I can't see how to make it show me Outlook. Does anyone know how to get into the application I want?

This is harder than it looks.. you will need to restore the library.
Do a search.. here is first post I found.
Where is the outlook pst file on OSX?
You actually need to recover the files and then see if you can reload it.. but it is likely to mess up your current file.. so you might find this is really messy.

I have given up on computer email.. gmail serves very nicely.. and it is no where near as buggy. Albeit they machine read your mails for ads.. not a big deal to me.

  • Time Machine only shows "Today". Can't access old stuff but no errors

    Maybe I am missing something but I plugged in an external HD and the first time machine went well. It does its thing each hour but when I go into time machine all I see is Today/Now with no ability to restore anything or anything older than today. I know it has older stuff since yesterday it said the same thing and it has taken the proper space on my external hard drive.

    It does sound like you're using a networked attached TM backup device wrt the disk image mounting on your Desktop. This is the case when people have hacked the system to be able to employ a USB2 device to their AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS).
    In the case of the dmg image - when it's mounted via doing a Back Up Now quickly invoke the TM browser and you should immediately see all the TM backups/snapshots. If you keep the TM browser active even after the Back Up Now has completed then browsing will still be possible. However, once you terminate the TM browser you will be back to not being able to use it unless you do another Back Up Now. This is the rather cumbersome method that exists today with networked and AEBS connected USB2 devices, and clearly one of the reasons why Apple pulled the use of networked and AEBS connected Volumes from their web site one week before releasing Leopard GM on Oct 26.

    Time Machine does show the history of my Macintosh HD, but when I try to navigate to the folder I wish to restore the backup history disappears. I've been searching for answers and I have not found one that works for me.

  • Reinstalled windows. Now can;t see how to get Photoshop, Bridge and lightroom back

    After a complete reinstall of my system, I just came to the Adobe site wanting to download my products and can;t see how to do it. Might just be missing the obvious, but I dunno...any ideas? Where do I go to download the Creative Cloud app, and from there I can presumably download the products I have paid for...

    You can check your Adobe account onoline and see if there are links there for your products.  If you purchased them as downloads thru Adobe then they might be.  Otherwise, you should be able to find them thru the following page:
    Download and Installation Help -
    https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install.html
    You will need your serial number as well, which might be found in your Adobe account online if you registered the software.

  • Ipod touch full with 'other files' - can't see how to get rid!

    My ipod touch has 17.5GB of 'other' files but I can't see how and it won't let me sync all of my songs I've clicked through all the summary bits. I've unticked all videos, TV programmes etc so they shouldn't sync onto the device but nowhere can I see anything about other files! VERY VERY VERY FRUSTRATING! Please help!
    Thanks in advance.

    An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.

    I have transferred my files from an old to a new iMac. I have Time Machine on an external HD. For some reason the new iMac is not connecting to my HD. The HD shows up in the finder and has all my backup info on it. I just need to access it. Help would be appreciated. Thanks, jp

    I've reached this far Linc but I can't see and "old" and "current" folder. I appreciate your patience on this. "burge's iMac" is the folder that has the data.

  • Time Machine only showing new Mountain lion backups

    I can see  the older backup files via finders but unable to move them to dektop as getting  'The operation cannot be complete as you dont have permission'.

  • My recent emails used to show on my home page, "my msn". With Firefox 4, they disappeared and I can't see how to get them back.

    On my home page there is a heading-Hotmail. Under that the last 8 or so emails were listed. The heading remains, the emails are gone and the+ in a box is now a -. So I can't add the emails.
    Firefox 4 has made things faster, but it's taken away stuff too

    Hi krjc,
    You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]]. Your homepage might have been changed by a particular site. Sites like MSN, Yahoo, etc have been know to ask to become your homepage.
    There are steps in that article to reset your homepage preferences to default. I would try that first to clear out any strangeness. If that works, you can try setting your homepage again to your personal preference.
    If that doesn't work you should look at the article [[Preferences are not saved]].
    Finally, your issue may be because you've been hit with some [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Is%20my%20Firefox%20problem%20a%20result%20of%20malware?s=malware&r=0&e=sph&as=s#w_how-do-i-get-rid-of-malware Malware].
    Hopefully this helps!

  • How can I force Time Machine to make a complete backup of my Hard Drive.  I just installed a new external drive for Backup since my previous one failed.  Now when I back up, Time Machine only backs up my data folder and the Users folder.

    How can I force Time Machine to make a complete backup of my Hard Drive.  I just installed a new external drive for Backup since my previous one failed.  Now when I back up, Time Machine only backs up my data folder and the Users folder.
    When I start a backup. Time Machine says "Oldest Backup: None; Latest Backup: None", so it seems like it should do a complete backup, but it only does a partial. 

    Hi I'd like to jump in here. Your app showed me this:

              Time Machine details may not be accurate.
              All volumes being backed up may not be listed.

    Aside from the size of my backup drive, which I will increase at some point, I'd really like to have time machine backing up all system folders, especially Applications. How to I reset this hidden exclusions?

  • On imac 10.6.8 using current version of Aperture.  How can I access the Aperture Library  on my external hard drive that I use with time machine for backup?  I can only access the application but not the library..

    On imac 10.6.8 using current version of Aperture.  How can I access the Aperture Library  on my external hard drive that I use with time machine for backup?  I can only access the application but not the library..

    Go into Time Machine (the program not the bundle on the extrnal disk) and using Time Machine's browser go to the Folder where the library lives. You could look in the library bundle in Time Machine but that won't really tell you much,
    If you want to make sure it truely has backed up your library you will need to restore it and open the restored library with Aperture.
    If all this still has you confused you need to read up on Time Machine in order to get a feel for how it works, for what it is doing and for how to restore files from it.

  • I have just started using Time Machine. I was thinking about deleting old E-Mails on my Mac to clean. Does Time Machine back up the E-Mails , if so how can I find them in Time Machine ??

    I have just started using Time Machine. I was thinking about deleting old E-Mails on my Mac to clean. Does Time Machine back up the E-Mails , if so how can I find them in Time Machine ??

    If you back up your mac before deleting your emails, Time Machine should back up your e-mails.
    I never tried this so i'm not sure to find them in Time Machine. To browse in your backups simply click the Time Machine icon in your dock. In the right bar, you can select an backup. Than you can browse in finder, in your backkup.
    EDIT: Just browsed and CT above was right. This topic might help you:

  • Time machine working well but I can't find backed up files fast enough?

    Time machine working well but I can't find backed up files fast enough. When I look in Time machine backups I'm looking in a folder and I can't remember what it was, but I go back in time and the finder goes from 98 files to 100 files, how do I find which 2 files were the ones deleted? Going back and forth from past to present is a pain! I need to figure out which file it was faster? Have any ideas?
    With the new "Find" feature it actually highlights what you are looking for such as in Safari. Does Time Machine have a feature to highlight the files/folders that were deleted really from the present?

    It sounds like you aren't looking for any file in particular, but notice a change in number of files and would like to know what changed rather than knowing that a specific file is now missing.
    that's a good point, and it appears that TM is not setup to describe the changes over time. If I recall correctly, it has a plug-in ability, so maybe somebody will fill in that void.
