Accessing something from an different MacBooks Backup

I had a MacBook that I was doing time capsule backups for.  When I got my new MacBook, I did not want to do a backup from that so I didn't  But now I need something from one of the past back ups.  I know it's there because the time capsule is showing only half of the space available but when I go into time machine it only lets me access the current MacBook backups.  Is there a way to view and retrieve something from my other MacBooks backup? 

I don't exactly understand the situation.
If you didn't run Time Machine backups from the new MacBook why are there two backups on the TC?
There are details on opening other TM sparsebundles in finder here.
Q17 and it will reference you back to earlier Qs.

You can find the file directly from the sparsebundle if you know where it is.

  • APEX Application accessing data from two different databases

    Hi All,
    Currently as we all know that APEX Application resides in database and is connected to the schema of that database.
    I want APEX Application to be running and accessing data from two different databases. Elaborating my question,
    Currently, my APEX Production Application is connected with XXXX Schema of DB1 Database(Where APEX Resides). Now I want to add some pages into this APEX Application for REPORT Purpose, But I want to connect this REPORT APEX Pages to get data from Different Schema YYYY for Database DB2.
    Is it possible to configure this scenario?
    The reason for doing this is to avoid the REPORT related (adhoc queries) resource utilization effect on Production DB1 Database.
    Thanks
    Nil

    1. If you do the joining of two or more tables in DB1 then all data is pulled over to DB1 and then the join is executed: so more data over the databaselink and more work for DB1. Better keep the joining stuff where the data resides and just pull exactly that data over that you need.
    2. Don't know about your different block sizes. Seems a nice question for one of the other forums (DBA or SQL).
    3. I mean create synonyms on DB1 for reports VIEWS in DB2.
    Hope all is clear!

  • Javamail - How do you access mail from a different Google domain

    I'm trying to accessing mail from a different Google Domain (custom google apps domain i.e. email(at)labs.com
    Currently the application is accessing the mail from Gmail and sending it to same mail id
    Does anyone know how to change this?

    I don't actually know, but I would guess that either there's a mail server running at imap.labs.com,
    or else you just login to imap.gmail.com using your labs.com email address.

  • Moving iWeb to my iDisk so I can access it from two different machines

    Hi,
    Wondering if anyone has any experience in updating iWeb from more than one Mac?
    I've just migrated from my old MacBook (running Tiger) to my new MacBook Air (running Snow Leopard). The migration has of course brought over all my iWeb files as well. As my MacBook Air is for travelling, I would ideally like to leave most of the the management of my iWeb sites to my old compouter which will stay at home and continue as usual. However it would be also be convenient if I could alter the iWeb sites with my Air from time to time.
    I've read that all the details and files for iWeb sites are stored in the "Domain" file in /Library/Application Support/iWeb/ , however I now have two Domain files, one on each computer, and I'm terrified to change anything using the new one in case I corrupt the websites...
    Could I move one of these "Domain" files to my iDisk, so the iDisk version could be the "master". That way, when I want to alter something, I could connect to the iDisk using iWeb on whichever computer I'm using (if that is possible), and alter the details there on the iDisk so there are no conflicts.
    It might be an issue that my old Macbook is running iWeb'08 and Tiger, and my new one is running iWeb '09 and Snow Leopard? If this would make it impossible then I'd delete all iWeb sites from the new MacBook Air except I'm afraid that might delete the websites from the server, as both computers are linked to the same MobileMe account!
    I'd be very grateful for any advice, even if it's only how to safely delete the site from the new computer.
    Thanks,
    Sarah

    Do you know though if it's possible as a concept to store the iWeb Domain file straight onto your iDisk and therefore modify the iDisk copy directly (as the master) every time you open iWeb on your mac?
    Sarah ~ I've never tried that, but perhaps it's possible. Once you've transferred the Domain file to iDisk, double-clicking it there should open your site in iWeb. And iWeb should remember that location in future so that when you open iWeb (rather than the Domain file), it will open the Domain file that's on iDisk.
    But even if that were to work, I think it's riskier than the normal case of working from the Domain file on your Mac. You'll still need to separately backup the Domain file on iDisk and, when you do a Save or Publish, iWeb will have to update the Domain file on iDisk — which will take more time than usual and perhaps cause iWeb to think there's a problem.
    Perhaps others would differ, but I think it's best to have your "master" Domain file on your Mac and, after updating your site, copy the Domain to iDisk for backup. The Backup app in your Applications folder can be used to do this...
    Once you've created a "Plan" in the Backup app, click on the Plan menu and choose Full Backup — which will add (rather than incrementally modify) a new copy of the Domain file to iDisk. And, as time passes, manually delete previous Domain file backups from iDisk that you no longer need. To confirm that the Backup app has copied your Domain file to iDisk, go here:
    http://www.me.com/idisk
    ...and click on the Backup folder in Home. To delete an unneeded backup from that folder, select the backup and then click the Trash icon.

  • Accessing "globals" from 2 different executables

    For an application we need to access the same set of "globals" from 2 different executables.
    How can this be done?

    hi
    can't be done (as far as i know). each executable has its own data space, so no memory or vis are shared between two executables (well, otherwise the behaviour of an app could change when other apps are opened). to share data between two apps i suggest to use dstp, tcp, udp or just a simple ini-file.
    or: build a single application. the top level vi of the app calls both top level vis of your apps dynamically. then they use the same dataspace.

  • Cannot access data from a Time Machine backup

    Hey all. This might get slightly confusing so bear with me.
    I have a back up on an external drive from Snow Leopard. I sold my computer and bought a different mac with LEOPARD. It said I couldn't restore because I don't have the version of MAC OS that the backup was created on. So I wanted to simply go into the backup drive and pick and choose what I restore. Problem is that it says I don't have the proper access right to do what I want with it.
    So, I wanted to change the access rights to it. I did the whole "Get info" and change all the privileges on it. Still a no go. I even went into the console to change the privs there....no dice. So I even tried a program that is supposed to wipe privileges. No go. The Disk Utility doesn't even have it to where I can even do a permission repair. The option is grayed out.
    I'm running out of options here before I take it to the so called geniuses at the "genius bar" for help. Any suggestions?

    I did go out this weekend and purchased Snow Leopard. Problem is don't have enough space on my current drive to to a full on restore. So I picked a couple files to do a restore through the time machine and still the same privilege problem.
    I'm thinkin' that I should just get on the horn tomorrow with the apple care and see what they can offer. I've had some bad run ins with those techs though, because I am also technical support/sys admin. Those people HAVE to treat everyone like they are dumb. One time I got annoyed because I told him that I understood what he said and that I did A B and C. He has to talk to people that way I guess because alot of people just can't figure out an Apple system if it didn't work like they expected. lol.
    So I strayed from the topic. Funny thing about my music and movie files is I can play them through VLC, but I can't play them through iTunes. How messed up is that? SO, I can play through a non Apple program, but I can't alter it or import it to itunes. And as far as Ubuntu goes, the folders don't even show up as folders. They show up as pieces of papers. They are gone, just heavily secured.

  • Can I download music and pictures from 2 different MacBooks onto one external hard drive?

    I have looked around for the community, but have not found an answer here.  Both my wife and I have 2 seperate MacBooks, but we wanted to put all of my pictures and music and all of her music and pictures onto one external hard drive.  I read on another board that we can, but only if we purchase a Mini.  Is it possible to do that without having to purchase a Mini?  Or is purchasing a Mini the only way to be able to do that?  Thanks in advance for any replies!

    There is no reason that you cannot use a common external HDD for your communal data.  Naturally you would have to disconnect it from one MBP and then connect it to the other when you wish to access the data or perform a download.  
    Any compatible external HDD will do, but make certain that you format it in Disk Utility to Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    Ciao.

  • Can I reinstall the keychain access utility from a time machine backup?

    I recently installed 1password on my macbook and it is up and operating fine. I have discovered however that my keychain access utility is missing.  I was using it to look at stored passwords.  I don't know if I somehow inadverdently removed the utility or if it is the result of the pgm. installation. 

    Keychain Access doesn't get accidentally deleted, unless the permissions were horribly wrong on it for some reason.
    First, try to find it:  Go to /Applications/Utilities, or click spotlight search and do a search, or click launch pad and look there.
    If it is really gone, then yes, you can restore it from Time Machine.  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427

  • Corrupted user account - access files from a different user?

    I am writing with a problem that I've had for about a week now, and which I have been working with an Apple tech support person to resolve, but I figured I would give this forum a shot, as well.
    Last Sunday, my Finder suddenly died on me - I think it was the result of a corrupt file. I first noticed it when I would mouse over my desktop and get a perpetual beachball. I couldn't open a Finder window (or use any applications that rely on accessing my files - iPhoto, iTunes, etc.; the only application that seems to work fine is my internet browser), and when I restarted my computer, I got the same issue when it was back on. I called Apple support and have been working with a senior support rep. We did an archive and install, recreating my old user account named exactly as it had been before. Once I was logged back in, though, I again got the beachball on my desktop. The other admin accounts on the computer do not have the Finder beachball problem, so it is linked specifically to my account. Paul (my tech support friend) recommended that I buy an external hard drive, and if we can't figure out a solution short of backing up my files and erasing my hard drive, we'll do that.
    My question is as follows: will I even be able to access the files on my account from another account if the finder in my account isn't working? I really only want to back up my work files, music, and photos. I can get everything else back. There are now two (or maybe three) admin accounts on my computer - can these accounts access each other's files?
    I appreciate any answers to my question (or any advice you might have for how else I could resolve this situation).
    Thanks!

    Assuming the problem account has short user name "foo", and one of the other working accounts has short user name "bar", try this:
    1) Log out of the foo account.
    1) Log in as bar.
    2) Open Terminal and enter this:
    su foo (press return, enter foo's password when prompted)
    rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Finder.plist
    exit
    See if foo's Finder works now.

  • Restoring Pictures from Previous MacBook Backup

    Hi,
    I recently upgraded to a MacBook Pro and I back it up with the same Time Machine ext. hard drive that backed up my previous MacBook. 
    I'm trying to restore some pictures from my old MacBook backup, is there a way to access the MacBook backup on my MacBook Pro to do this?
    I tried playing around with Time Machine but the Pictures folder it displayed had a red minus on it and couldnt be opned.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    P

    Hold down the option key and select Browse Other Backup Disks from the Time Machine menu. Select the MacBook in the list that appears. You may get an error message that you don't have permission to access the files. In that case, proceed as follows.
    Turn Time Machine OFF temporarily in its preference pane. Leave the window open.
    Navigate in the Finder to your backup disk, and then to the folder named "Backups.backupdb" at the top level of the volume. If you back up over a network, you'll first have to mount the disk image file containing your backups by double-clicking it. Descend into the folder until you see the snapshots, which are represented by folders with a name that begins with the date of the snapshot. Find the one you want to restore from. There's a link named "Latest" representing the most recent snapshot. Use that one, if possible. Otherwise, you'll have to remember the date of the snapshot you choose.
    Inside the snapshot folder is a folder hierarchy like the one on the source disk. Find one of the items you can't restore and select it. Open the Info dialog for the selected item. In the Sharing & Permissions section, you may see an entry in the access list that shows "Fetching…" in the Name column. If so, click the lock icon in the lower right corner of the dialog and authenticate. Then delete the "Fetching…" item from the access list. Give yourself read access if you don't already have it. Click the gear icon below the list and select Apply to enclosed items from the popup menu.
    Now you should be able either to copy the item in the Finder or to restore it in the time-travel view. If you use the time-travel view, be sure to select the snapshot you just modified. If successful, repeat the operation with the other items you were unable to restore. You can select multiple items in the Finder and open a single Info dialog for all of them by pressing the key combination option-command-I.
    When you're done, turn TM back ON and close its preference pane.

  • Accessing tables from different schema in CDS and AMDP

    Hi All,
    We are working on a HANA system which has several schema replicated from SAP R/3/Non SAP systems. We have BW 7.4 SP9 deployed on the same system and accessing the HANA views using latest BW virtual objects such as Open ODS , Composite providers etc.
    We are also using the BW system for few ABAP based data processing developments. We are currently accessing HANA views in ABAP programs by creating dictionary views based on external HANA views.
    We would like to however use recent possibilities of CDS and AMDP for better life cycle management of ABAP based solutions. The open SAP course on this subject was of very good help. Thanks a lot "open SAP team" for that. I would however have few open questions,
    As I understand AMDP gives us full flexibility of writing sql procedures within ABAP development environment, but can we access tables from different schema into AMDP code. If yes, then sample code would help.
    If the answer of first question is yes, then how do we manage transports between development and production systems where the schema names would be different. Currently in open HANA developments, such transport is manged using Schema mapping.
    Can I also use different schema tables in CDS views.
    We are updating few tables in ABAP dictionary after applying processing logic in ABAP program as detailed in step 1. With the new approach using AMDP, can we directly update database schema tables which will give us an optimization advantage.
    New ABAP HANA program interfaces are quite promising and we would like to use them to optimize many data intensive applications.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Anil

    Hi Anil,
    I can only answer 1. and 2. (and would be interested into 3. as well):
    1.
    Yes you can access tables from a different schema and also HANA views. In this case no 'using' is needed.
    Examples:
        RESULT = SELECT
        FROM
              "SAP_ECC"."T441V" AS t,
              "_SYS_BIC"."tmp.package/AFPO" AS a.
        WHERE ...
    2. In this case, if you need schema mapping: You could use HANA (projection) views which just forward to a different schema, also see example.
    Best regards,
    Christoph

  • How do I access  data from one user account to another?

    I want to access data from a different user account. How do I make all the files available?

    I have another post here in the forum that explains in detail about the rez problem. It was read by a lot of people with no responses. 1 thing that might be important is that I was using a Wacom drawing tablet when this problem started. I removed the Wacom software and no help.
    My Apple 23" Cinema display has very large icons but the display prefs says it is at 1920 x 1200. It's not just a low screen rez but the dock and all icons will scroll on the screen when I move the mouse.
    The resolution will not change to anything else. The rez is fine on other user names.
    I have booted from the Apple DVD and run disk repair, repaired disk permissions. Booted and run Tech Tool.
    Booted from the Disk Warrior cd and ran that.
    I have zapped the PRAM. I have plugged the display into the other port on the video card.
    When I change to the problem user name it is fine for about 1 second and then changes to the "problem". I have never seen this before and I have been using a Mac since 1990.

  • TS4002 Can't access iCloud from iPhone/iPad

    I cant access my iCloud account from iPhone or iPad, but I CAN access it from both my MacBook and my pc.
    I've updated iTunes, and iOS 5, and each time I go to iCloud.com- it brings me to the page that reads the prompt; "set up iCloud on this device" well, I have followed the directions from the prompt over and over, and I can't seem to be able to access the screen with the prompts; "mail, "calendar," "iWork," and "find your iPhone."
    I've already checked my settings and confirmed my username/pass work are correct
    Any ideas?

    On an iOS device, you cannot go to icloud.com with safari (you can using a computer).  You must use the various apps (like mail, Calendar, Contacts) to access the data the iCloud syncs.

  • I have 2 different MacBooks (owned by 2 people) connected to my Time Capsule. I want to use the Time Capsule to back up both MacBooks separately from each other. Can one person access the hard drive of the other person, on the same Time Capsule?

    I have 2 different MacBooks (owned by 2 people) connected to the same Time Capsule over a wifi network. I want to use the Time Capsule to back up both MacBooks separately from each other. Can one person access the hard drive of the other person, on the same Time Capsule? Is there a way to ensure that the files on the 2 laptops are kept private from each other? Thanks!

    Security on a Time Capsule is a bit like installing a lock on a tent. It will keep the honest folks out, but probably not the others.
