Access the user/library from a Time Capsule File

Ich habe vergessen die Mail-Library und das Adressbuch zu sichern, bevor ich den alten Computer entsorgte. Die Dateien sind aber noch im Time Capsule vorhanden. Wie kann ich die Benutzer-Library hervorholen, unter OSX Lion ist sie versteckt und ist nur mit <alt> Gehe zu sichtbar.
I forgot to save the User/library ie the addressbook and the mailfiles of my old LapTop. Now I got the Bakupfiles from Time Capsule but the Lybrary is hidden in OSX Lion! How can I manage this problem?
Thanks for hints.

  • Accessing the Users Library in Time Machine?

    To access the User Library in ML you hold down the options key and click the Go menu.
    I want to access my Snow Leopard User Library stored on my Time Machine.
    How do I do it?

    When I opened TM there was no Users Library.
    However, by opening the Finder I was able to navigate to the HD with TM on it and open the TM folder structure just like any other folder.
    I never realised you could access the contents of TM without actually opening it.

  • I desperately need to access my User Library folder in Time Machine (Lion so = not visible).

    Hi. I installed Lion a few months ago and got a new external drive to back up Time Machine.
    Nobody told me the User Library would be made hidden in the new OS. I have been backing up regularly in the belief that all my work, settings and so on was safe.
    Yesterday my iMac (27" 2.8 Ghz Core it with 4 gib memory) suddenly went mad. Message saying finder had quit whilst trying to restore windows. Desktop was flashing, no icons clickable, no external disks readable. Could access some progs and terminal, but nothing else. Could not get into the history folder to trash various plists and so on as the folder is hidden and the alt Go wouldn't work. The Finder just wouldn't do anything.
    I have sorted it out BUT I have lost my address book entries, my browser booksmarks, my desktop shortcuts and my iCal entries. I need to access my User Library on my Time Machine. Is there a way?
    I cannot believe I have been religiously backing up my stuff but Apple has made it so I can't access my backup of one of the most important folders on my Time Machine???
    Is there anyway of getting into this from Terminal or something? I will never be able to get back all the bookmarks and stuff I've been researching for years. I have it backed up on two different hard drives, both of which have 'invisible' library folders. I have make the folder visible now, for future backups, but it's after the horse has bolted. I am furious, and just feel like bursting into tears because of all the time it's going to take me to get all my work back. I can't tell you how stupid this was, Apple.
    If someone could help I'd be really grateful. I've got older backups but they are so old they won't get back my recent stuff.
    Thanks.

    select Finder
    hole option key and select Go in the menu
    Select Library
    Enter Time Machine
    You should be seeing all the versions of you Library folder.

  • How do I access the data saved on my time capsule?  for example, if i try to view my photos it tells me that i have 2.4gb of photos and gives me the option to "view with iPhoto"....but when i click on "view with iPhoto" nothing happens...  thanks!

    how do i access the data stored on my time capsule?  for example, if i try to view a photo, i get the option to "view with iphoto" but when i click on "view with iphoto" nothing happens.  i'm having similar trouble openning up movies, music, etc.  it appears as though the files exist / saved on the time capsule (because i can see how much storage they consume), but i can't open them.  thanks!

    Unfortunately, Apple removed the feature to "browse backups" in Time Machine backups of iPhoto a few years ago.
    You have to restore the entire iPhoto library to a separate location to be able to "see" it, and then choose the specific images that you want use.
    For complete details, see #15 in Pondini's excellent support document Time Machine -- FAQ.  Check the information in the pink box there.

  • Accessing the hard drive of a Time Capsule with Windows XP

    Hi,
    I have a time capsule configured in client mode so that I could share a printer and a hard drive on my existing wireless network. I now can print from both computers and I can acces the hard drive with the mac that I used to configure the time capsule.
    But I can't find anyway to access the hard drive from the pc. When I use AX to connect as a guest it's giving me an error "user unknown or session desactivated contact the admin (67)". (The config is authorizing guests so it should work)
    What's wrong ?
    Thanks for your help,
    Julien

    FireWire Target Disk Mode requires two Macs.
    Can you remove the hard drive from teh PC laptop? If so, you can use one of these:
    Newer Technology Universal Drive Adapter USB 3.0 - connects any 2.5", 3.5" or 5.25" drive
    to mount the drive on the Mac. most Macs will read PC drives. You can't salvage applications but you may be able to recover data files.

  • Upgrading iPhoto Library from Apple Time Capsule

    I have put my iPhoto library onto my Time Capsule, and I know I need to upgrade my library. Every time I open iPhoto, I am asked to upgrade my library, and I click on upgrade, but it never finishes. After several minutes of attempting to upgrade, the app just quits on its own. I would like to access my photo library. How can I fix this problem?

    How is the TC connected to your Mac? (It must be a fast hard wired connection like FireWire, USB or ThunderBolt for iPhoto - a network or wireless connection will not work)
    Is it being used strictly as an External Hard Drive - or is it the destination for you TimeMachine backup? (if so you can not have your iphoto library on it)
    Probably the fix will be to put it back on your internal drive - or on a separate EHD formatted Mac OS Extended (journaled) with a fast wired connection

  • How do I share the Photo Library on my desktop with another User. I have Apoerture set up on my wife's user account but cannot figure out how to access the photo library from her desktop.

    I just got a new IMac. I transferred all the photos from our old PC to the Aperture Library on my User account. My wife is set up as another User. She can access Aperture from her User account but there are no photos in the Library. How can I share or giver her access to the photos so that she can work with them on Aperture from her User account?

    Move the Aperture library to separate disk or disk partition with plenty of space for all your photos. On a separate disk or partition it will be possible to set the "Ignore ownership on this volume" flag. Then two users can write to the same Aperture library without permission problems.
    The procedure is describe here for iPhoto libraries, but this will work for Aperture libraries as well:
    iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users
    If you want to use a drive for your Aperture library, that has been used with a PC, format it for Mac, before you move the Aperture library there. This can be done with Disk Utility.

  • Accessing the music stored on my Time Capsule from other devices (iPad, MacBook)

    I have cpoied my music onto my Time Capsule/Airport.   I am trying to figure out how I can access that music from the other devices I have connected to the network including my MacBook Pro and iPad 2.

    I have a Time Capsule that, among other things, is my primary storage space for music. I don't keep anything on my macbook, I just point iTunes to the Capsule and play everything off of that. Here's my question and I apologize if it's rudimentary.
    How do I backup the backup?
    What backup? If the only copy of your stuff is on the Time Capsule, you have no backups!
    I have a couple of other EHDs from before I got the Capsule. Specifically a LaCie. It's just sitting with nothing to do now. Is there an easy way to copy the 100+g of music from the Capsule to the LaCie or another EHD? I'm sure this is an easy thing to do and I'm just OCD enough to not be able to figure it out.
    You can "archive" the TC's contents to a USB drive connected to it. That has some serious downsides, but if you have no other copies of your data, it would be a good thing to do quickly, then figure out a better alternative. See [Time Capsule: Using AirPort Utility 5.3.1 or later to make a copy of the Time Capsule disk|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1281].
    Time Machine, like many backup apps, cannot back up from a network location. I've never used it, but the Chronosync app might be suitable.

  • How can I access the user library of the other users on my iMac?

    I am in the process of changing the HDD on my iMac (Seagate 1 TB - free of charge exchange from Apple). As I have had some problems with my kids' user accounts I want to set it all up as new when I get it back.
    Challenge is ofcourse that they have played some games and they want to keep their levels etc, and this is stored in their users' Library. How can I access this from my own account or from a back-up? I have both a Time Machine back-up and a CarbonCopyCloner.

  • How to access the hard drive in my Time Capsule via ethernet, not wireless

    I have a new Netgear 802.11ac router with ethernet ports. I also have an older (4 years old) Time Capsule that I replaced with the new Netgear router. My iPhoto library was recently corrupted (long story there). I don't have a backup except on my Time Capsule. How do I access the Time Capsule's hard drive over ethernet so that I can copy the iPhoto Library off of it and onto my Thunderbolt external hard drive? It's the only chance I have to save years of photos (my iPhoto library is 258 Gb large). I don't want to do this wirelessly. I've tried using ethernet cable from the TC to my Macbook Pro and to one of the ethernet ports on the Netgear router, but to no avail. I'm sure it's got to be simple but I've almost given up trying different configurations.

    Plug the TC directly into the netgear by ethernet.
    Then do a factory reset. This will not harm your existing backups in any way.
    The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
    Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
    Connect to the TC by wireless.. this is just to do the setup..
    Put the TC in bridge mode.
    The TC will now appear as a client in the Netgear and should be accessible.. if not there is something else going on.. the Netgear may not be working properly with the TC. It happens.
    I am not sure what equipment you have.. but if you have a thunderbolt connected hard drive.. how are you then connecting by ethernet to the Netgear.. as I understand it, unless your hard disk has a thunderbolt passthough port.. and you have tested and found the ethernet does still work with the hard disk in the chain.
    There is no reason you cannot do it direct to the TC if you have enough ports. But the TC should be reset as above so it is in router mode. That is the only way you can connect to it as otherwise it is bridged.

  • Can't access a second library on a Time Capsule

    Okay,
    so I set up a second iPhoto library using my MacBook & saved it on my Time Capsule. All is working okay.
    However, I have tried accessing this library using my Girlfriends MacBook but am having no joy. I have tried holding down the option / alt button on opening iPhoto & chosen to open with a different library. Unfortunately, when I do this I can't see any of the data on the Time Capsule or any folders to select to open from. When I open the Time Capsule in Finder I can see everything no problem though!
    As always, any advice would be great!
    Thanks in advance........

    Sorry for the questions.....trying to understand
    Can you tell us what steps you are taking now to access the Time Capsule hard drive?
    What happens after each step?

  • Can I plug the hard drive from my Time Capsule into my PC?

    My laptop's hard drive recently died and the chance of being able to recover any data from it is pretty slim. To make matters worse, i've been meaning to buy a new Time Capsule for a while as mine is no longer functioning correctly (won't let me connect even with a solid green light).
    I'm hoping that's the fault of the rest of the Time Capsule, and not the hard drive and its contents. So, would it be possible to plug the Time Capsule's hard drive into my Windows PC and somehow recover the data from there?
    Thanks!

    The only files you can recover are ones you put there.. so the only way and the only person who knows the answer is you.. where did you put the files?
    Did you put them in a new folder under the share, data.. then that is where they will be.
    If you put them inside the sparsebundle.. you are dead. But if you created a new directory inside the sparsebundle you might still get access to it.. there is only one way to find out.. have a go.. !!
    BTW if you did this, that is why you have issues.. putting files inside a sparsebundle will destroy it. Not a great idea. But it is allowed.
    Who can know these things.. YOU.. and YOU ALONE.
    You might find it cheaper in your case to repair the TC..
    If it is Gen 1 or 2, type "Time Capsule Power Supply" into ebay.. without the ""
    There are some there to help you fix it.
    Or a repairer could help.

    It is much easier to get your files back from a working TC.

  • Can I access the same library from 2 computers?

    I just purchased and installed Photoshop Elements 10 on my main computer at home.  Awesome tool!
    I just loaded up over 25,000 pictures taken over the last 12 years and am slowly going through the task of tagging them.  My question is as follows:
    If install on a second computer, how do I access the library from the main computer?  I am thinking that I can tag come pics during my lunch hour and get through this faster at the office but how do I move the library from one computer to the next? 
    I don't think the library is actually "moveable".  Does it not just sort what is already on my main computer? 
    All suggestions welcome!

    If your photos and catalog file are on an external HD, then you would have to bring the external HD wherever you want and PSE will work, provided that the drive letters are the same on both computers. (Example, if the external HD is E:\ on your home computer, it would have to be E:\ on the other computer).
    You can move the catalog file and everything else in that folder via Windows. If you need to move the photos, this must be done in PSE (Folder Location View).

  • I have had a time capsule for years and it worked well.  Now my airport utility states it is unable to find any airport wireless devices.  When I rescan, I get the same response.  I access the internet wirelessly through my Time Capsule - that part works.

    My time capsule is currently not backing up my MAC.  My airport utility states it can't find any airport wireless devices.  But I can access the internet via my time capsule.  I was trying to reset my time capsule but it won't let me since the airport utiity states it can't find any airport wireless devices.

    i was having the same problem. i held the reset button on my airport express for ten seconds, waited for it to restart and than unplugged my internet modem for 15 seconds and waited for it to restart and my wireless worked. but when i go to setup everything through the airport utility everything goes to crap and i have to start over again. i don't get it.

  • How can i see photos with apple tv from my time capsule files?

    I have photos in my time capsule and i want to display them on my apple tv without a computer. Some sort of browsing in my time capsule from apple tv. Both are in the same wifi net, which uses time capsule as basis,

    Unfortunately, you cannot do that. In order to share photos with your Apple TV, you need to select them through the advanced menu of iTunes on your computer.
