10.5.2 update seems to have removed all TM backups prior to today?

After updating to 10.5.2, I see that my Time Machine drive - which prior to the update had backups dating back to whenever I installed Leopard (November I think) - now only contains backups it made today. Anyone else seen this?

Yes, 'Warn when old backups are deleted' had always been checked.
The Console log revealed some issues. Here's the first backupd events following my update to 10.5.2:
Feb 11 21:56:33 Macintosh defaults[400]: \nThe domain/default pair of (//System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.backupd-attach, Disabled) does not exist

There's more, but that seems the critical stuff. It looks like Time Machine thinks the UUID for my system drive had changed. After the first Backup ran, all backups (since Nov) prior to 2-11-08 were gone, and about 15Gb of space was recovered from the drive.
I have many, many other backup solutions in place, so this isn't mission critical for me. However, if TM can't maintain archived backups, I can't safely consider it for that.

I installed FoxTabs and it seems to have removed all of my Links and Organized Link pages I had set up with FastDial. How can I get my FastDial back?

FoxTabs looked pretty cool and I was interested in using it, but I didn't expect it would remove all of my FastDial information that I have built up over the past 5 years!
I would still like to do this, but I really need the FastDial pages restored, I have links I do not even remember and would be hard pressed to even come close to restoring what seems to be lost. It still shows FastDial as an installed add on, but it doesn't open to it. Please help!

is it compatible with Firefox 5.0 ??

My gen 3 iPod Touch seems to have duplicated all my music since updating to IOS 5 so that it now only holds half as much. What can I do about it? I'm using the same iTunes library with OS 10.6 and all software up to date.

Is the camera damaged? Could be a hardware problem.
Try:
Close the Camera app in the multitasking bar, then try again.
Restart/Reset/Restore your iPod. In that order.

While I was updating my ipod touch there was an error and it said my ipod needed to be restored so I did that but I seemed to have lost all the photos I had on my ipod. Is there anyway to get them back?

- Try restoring from a backup that include the photos. See the restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up
- If you use PhotoStream you should be able to get the last 30 days worth from your PhotoStream. See:

After the last update of itunes I seem to have lost all my music (Cds that I had downloaded into itunes) except the once I had purchased from the itunes store. Can anyone help? Do you know what might have happened?

After the last update of itunes I seem to have lost all the music that I had downloaded from my Cds. It was a lot of music! All I still have is the music that I had purchased in the itunes store. And before you asked. No, I did not have a backup. Never got around to do it.
Does anyone of you have an idea if and how I can maybe get my music back?
Your help is very much appreciated. Would it help if I recover my computer from an earlier date?? I am not even sure if I make sense here.

Hi - I seem to have a similar problem. I was prompted to update to iPhoto 11 yesterday (don't know why yesterday, I'm in iPhoto all the time). So I followed the instructions, library updated, all existing events and albums are there. I uploaded some more pictures and created a few new albums and did some new year spring cleaning, moving stuff around etc. And I started making a calendar.
I've opened it up today, my calendar is still there as are all the new events, but the pictures are empty outlines. If I open up a picture I just get the "!" but I can still see the thumbnails showing in the slider in the bottom - I don't know if that means the source files must still be there somewhere, or if it just means it captured thumbnails yesterday.
I've gone into it via "show package contents" and there just don't seem to be any masters for an upload yesterday. I also just had a look in the last import folder, because of a comment from someone above. As I scrolled down through the folder the images were there and literally disappeared in front of me - by which I mean, the thumbnails were there as I scrolled down and then would turn into empty outlines...!
All my old folders are still there, thankfully (although they're of course the ones that are also all safely back up).
Although I have a timecapsule, my photo library is too big to keep on my hard drive, so I keep it on an external drive - so it only gets backed up when I do it manually (thanks Apple for that, I will never understand why it was designed to work - or not work - that way). So if the pictures have been lost then they are gone for good which is super-frustrating (I just got back from South Korea and was in the middle of sorting out all my shots from that trip). It seems that this can only have happened because of the update - I should have known better than to have pressed yes.
If you have any ideas, I'd be most grateful!

5.0.1 update seems to have destroyed personal content (calendar, contacts, phontos) also from iTunes backup

I updated 5.0.1 to my iPhone 4. Just before it I syncronized the phone with iTunes not to loose my content. However after uploading 5.0.1 I couldn't first connect the to iTunes and when I finally succeeded to get iTunes to recognize the iPhone the version to be syncronised seems to have lost all my personal content. How can I get my calendar, contacts, photos, apps etc. back?

Thanks, but this didn't help me. My phone is a 3GS--maybe that makes the difference. What ended up working was to hook back up to iTunes and right click on my phone's name, click restore backup, click restore at the next prompt, and then tell it no when it asks about activating the iCloud. Now all my data is restored and the phone is working perfectly.

I've just downloaded an update to my Flash player and it seems to have disabled all video function on my Macbook. Any advice?

Hi MamaTabs,
If you are having issues signing in to iCloud on your Windows machine, you may find some of the troubleshooting in the following article helpful:

Illustrator crashing after 16.0.1update, 16.0.2 update seems to have fixed it

I am running win7 with latest updates, running Illustrator (64-bit) from CS6 Web and Design Premium Suite.
Illustrator crashed 6 times this week after installing the updates from the end of last week (update 16.0.1). The updates that were released today seem to have fixed it, although I cannot absolutely confirm this.
I have spent the past hour trying to break the software doing the same tasks that caused crashes earlier this week, and then far more extreme tasks then I would ever actually do or need to do, and have not been able to recreate the same crash problems.
I have been using Illustrator for nearly 15 years, it's been very rare that I've ever experienced an illustrator crash like what was happening after the 16.0.1 update. I didn't have time to troubleshoot the issue until today, fortunately the 16.0.2 update seems to have resolved the issue. If the issue returns I will follow up with another post - it's rare though that I find an article that says "I've had this problem, but it looks like you fixed it". Thank you Adobe for the fix.

new ones i download work but the old ones dont!!
how do i fix this? i dont want to uninstall every single app
and i have tris.. how can i re-download that?! i cant if i take it off
anyone know how to make my old apps work?

Itunes 12.1.1.4 not run cd rom on windows xp sp3. have removed all cd burning software

itunes 12.1.1.4 not run cd rom on windows xp sp3. have removed all cd burning software.

Thanks Alex,
I performed all of the steps you suggested and iTunes v-12.1.1 installed correctly.
The problem is, that version of iTunes now does not recognize my HL-DTST DV-DRAM GMA-4082N, CD/DVD DRIVE.
When I insert a CD to rip into my iTunes library nothing happens.
If I click on the properties for that D-drive nothing shows using the Explore function.
If I open Microsoft Media Player v-11.0.5721.5262 I can see all of the tracks on the disk, and the player rips the songs to the Microsoft Media Player library which I can then play.
I then reinstalled VLC media player v-2.1.5, and was able to play cd's and watch DVD's. When I performed that install I again received the iTunes banner:
Earlier versions of iTunes worked just fine:
iTunes v-11.4 (32-bit) 10 September, 2014, (6 months ago), size: [106.11 MB], for Windows XP SP3 worked on this same Toshiba laptop.
The latest version: iTunes v-12.1.1 seems to want to be the only piece of software allowed on the 32 Bit XP system.
To me, it looks like Apple does not want any other applications running on this system. Not very thoughtful for customers that cannot afford to purchase more expensive computers when they are on a fixed income. I have been a long time user of Apple equipment when employed by Motorola, development engineering.in my younger years.
Is there any way to get the earlier versions of iTunes back on this laptop?
Thanks,
Jay

My email seems to have lost all the saved messages

Email stated it was updating earlier. Now it seems to have lost all my old messages.

It's a Finder feature, related to Quick Look. You can hit the space bar in the file list to get a preview.
If that doesn't work, you may have an issue witha preference file or similar. I find rebuilding the launch databse works quite well resilving tis kind of thing, as does trashing Finder preferences

I had to erase my data to upgrade my iPhone software from an older version. I backed up first, but seem to have lost all my notes. Does anyone know how retrieve my old notes?

I had to erase my data to upgrade my iPhone software from an older version. I backed up first, but seem to have lost all my notes. Does anyone know how retrieve my old notes?

Is this the note you are referring to:
Not sure if this can help you.
I checked my notes. They are stored here:
MacintosHD/Users/MYHOME/Library/Containers/com.apple.notes/Data/Library/CoreData /ExternalRecords/
xxxxxserie.of.numbers.probably.yours.are.different/IMAPNote/_records/0/
If I go tot this window on finder and enter Time Machine I can go back and find old notes...
If so, am I doing this on my new hard drive on on the time machine? When I do this on the time machine, what is "my home"? Also, I am unable to find "containers".
If I go to users/jeff/library, then I see components, compositions, contextual, etc, but not containers.
Thanks

Sharpener Pro 3 has problems in Aperture as the Pre sharpener continually asks one to buy or activate and the Output Sharpener causes Aperture to hang. Have removed all duplicate fonts and tried using a new user account. Any ideas?

I am experiencing problems with Sharpener Pro 3 as an Aperture 3 plug-in. These are: the Pre sharpener continually asks one to buy or activate and the Output Sharpener causes Aperture to hang. Following discussions with Nik Software I have removed all duplicate fonts and tried using a new user account. Neither of the courses of action worked. Have other users experienced these difficulties? Can you suggest an alternative remedy?

Video no longer plays from sites on comedy central. Site says browser must be updated, but I have installed all updates and restarted the computer..twice.

If it is any consolation this started happening to me today. I am in Toronto. I am wondering if there is a copyright issue here. I have done nothing to solve it - mostly because I suspect this has nothing to do with my computer.
p.s. My speculation about copyright is not correct. Comedy Central plays fine with Google Chrome. Have not yet tested Firefox.

i tried transferring my iphoto library from my old macbook onto my new macbook pro (via external hard drive), but when i open the new iphoto, it seems to have transferred ALL images ever used on my old macbook. so i tried to just delete all those images so i could try a different approach to transferring, but the new iphoto won't let me do anything and every time i try to delete anything it crashes (since the image amount is so high). please help!!
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), iphoto '11, version 9.4.2

To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1229?viewlocale=en_US - I doubt that it will solve your problem, though. You may want to post on the iPhoto forum - that's where all of the iPhoto experts hang out.
Good luck,
