Did you use TM since you upgraded to Mavericks??
That could cause damage to the TM backups.
I am really unsure how to advise you on this one.. but if you need the backups you have to take heroic measures..
I would not use Mavericks.. if the backups were done under Mountain Lion.. get an external drive for the computer and load ML on it.. then get another disk and do a full restore of the backups to a different location.
See the restore info in Pondini for help.
Q14-17 here.
Or boot with the original DVD and use TM to restore .. as per instructions here.

Use Setup Assistant .. or if all else fails use migration assistant.
It may even be worth archiving the TC before you begin so you know all the data is preserved and Mavericks is not just going to wipe it out as soon as TM starts.

    I can't remeber my security questions, and I can't ask for a new password because I can't log in to the email because it got hacked...

    Have you tried logging out of your account on your iPod by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then logging back in to see if that 'refreshes' the account on it and if it then works ?

    Are you talking about an iCloud backup? If so, no, an iCloud backup cannot be viewd, it can only be restored to another iOS device.

    What photos are you referring to? Are these photos that are in the Camera Roll and Photo Stream albums on the device you backed up, or are they in different albums? Are you signed onto the new phone with the same iCloud ID? Are the Photo Stream photos ones that have been taken in the past 30 days?
    When you set up the new phone did you set it up using that backup?

  • I would like to access an old Time machine back up from a Core 2 Duo Macbook, but no longer have a Mac. Can I access the backup from a cheaper old ibook, or would I need a Macbook. Is the OS important?

    I would like to access an old Time machine back up from a Core 2 Duo Macbook, but no longer have a Mac. I am going to buy a used machien to acess this. Can I access the backup from a cheaper old ibook, or would I need a Macbook. Is the OS important?

    right click on the folder that shows with the red negative sign, and select to "get info".  In the long skinny window that appears, look in the "sharing and permissions" section.  In the "name" column, you should see your current user name.  Ensure the "privilege" is set to Read and Write.  If your user name is not in the name column, click the + sign, and add it, ensuring the privileges are set to Read and Write

  • I restored some files last night and now I can't access my backup and it's full.

    Last night I was restoring some image files and everything appear to have gone as planned. The images were back and the time capsule continued to backup my system as before. I got up today and I keep getting a message that my backup is full and I also can't access my backup files. I'm not sure what went wrong. I am running snow leopard and have VMware to run win 7 as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Some questions:
    1) What was the volume (file size) of the restored image files?
    2) What specifically happens when you try to access your backup files?
    3) If you mount your Time Capsule's internal drive (presuming that's where Time Machine is writing its data), how much free space does it have?
    By the way, as your problem seems to be specific to Time Machine and not to Time Capsule, I'd post future questions of this nature to the discussion section for your version of OS X.

  • Can't access iCloud backup

    My iCloud shows 4.8gb of storage taken for my iPhone backup.  However, I changed my password a week ago and it deleted all my contacts and whatnot.  Now when I plug my iPhone into iTunes or attempt to restore from iCloud, I can't access that backup at all.  It says none are available.  How can I get my data/information back?

    You can see any of the content of the backup without restoring it to your device, and as you indicated, the only option in settings is to delete it.  It should contain your camera roll photos, which are included by default.  If they didn't restore, about all you can do is try restoring the backup again.

  • How can i gain access to my data on a Time Capsule after a fresh install of Mavericks? I can't access any backups through Time Machine... They appear purple/transparent, and I can't even select them to view their contents. PLEASE HELP!!!

    So, I've got several thousand photos, and a decent amount of videos of my daughter, along with a lot of stuff for work stored on my Time Capsule, and now I can't access any of it. I did a fresh install of Mavericks on my MacBook Pro last week sometime, and haven't been able to figure out how to get my files back. Please Help!!! My daughter is 2 and a half, and every picture/video I have of her is locked on this thing. I was planning on making some photo/video projects fo my wife for Christmas, and now I'm definitely not going to be able to pull it off. Her birthday is at the end of January, though, so if I could have it by then, that would rule!
    Basically, the bar on the right of the screen has some gray dates, which I can access (all backups after the Mavericks install), and purple dates that go all the way back to March (when I originally purchased and began using the TC) which deny me access/viewing. It's possible that I created a slightly different user name when I reset my MacBook, which I guess is most likely the cause, but I have no idea what to do now to correct it. Thanks for taking the time!

    Mavericks does really nasty stuff..
    Try manually mounting the sparsebundle and extract the files you want.
    Yet another Pondini reference. http://pondini.org/TM/15.html
    We have avoided Mavericks you see knowing that it would cause these kinds of issues..
    You never ever load a new OS without doing a disk image beforehand.. TM is not reliable enough or trustworthy to be depended on.
    If none of the above work..
    I would get a USB drive on the computer and install Mountain Lion or whatever OS you had before you unfortunately upgraded to Mavericks.. Then use TM from that decent installation but mount the sparsebundle and choose the backup from a date well before mavericks was installed.
    Once you have extracted the files.. or even done a full restore you might be able to extract the files you want.

  • Can't access old backups, but are still there!

    So i tried today to access some old backups, and lo and behold, when i open time machine, the only ones i could get to were the ones from today. I looked in sys.prefs. and it said that the oldest backup i had was, in fact what it should be, but i can't access anything older than today! How can I access my older archives?

    Confirm that an entirely new backup has not been created. If only one backup folder exists, perhaps the Time Machine interface view is slow in bringing up previous backups to view.

  • Can someone access your backups if you share a time capsule?

    I share a time capsule with my boyfriend, and wasn't certain if I remembered correctly from school if he could access my backup on his Mac if we ever parted on less than friendly terms... 1.) There is nothing compromising on the backups, nor is there anything that could be interpreted as such.  2.) He is on non speaking terms with some of my friends and relatives, and there is some data on my MBP that he could come in contact with (due to my being their "IT person" and all that), which would not be all that great, if it were possible.  I myself cannot remember if such a thing can be accomplished, mostly because my schooling was centered on Windows software, not Macintosh. Thanks in advance. 

    You can encrypt your backups.  System Preferences -> Time Machine -> Select Backup Disk... -> Encrypt backups
    Then it does not matter, as long as the other people do not have the encryption keys.

  • Can't access old backup file on iCloud

    When I bought my new iPhone (5s), I did a backup of my old one (iPhone 4). I did the restore and only some of my data came over, including only a fraction of my photos. Now, when I check my space on the cloud, the old iPhone backup is there and it is huge! How can I access this data and manage it? I only have an iPhone and iPad, no PC. The only option I can find through my phone or iPad is to keep or delete the whole mass, but it doesn't show me what's actually there.

    You can see any of the content of the backup without restoring it to your device, and as you indicated, the only option in settings is to delete it.  It should contain your camera roll photos, which are included by default.  If they didn't restore, about all you can do is try restoring the backup again.

  • How can I access my backup Data on my Time Capsule HD?!

    I have 1.77 TB of Data but cannot access!?
    After having problems with several programs crashing, I had do do a complete reset, on my macbookpro.
    I erased everything on my macbookpro's HD and did a complete reset begininng with reloading OSX-Maverick.
    I have also manually reinstalled all my apps, hoping to avoid reinstalling to problems causing the crashes.
    Everything seems to be working fine now... with the exception that I can't seem to access the backup data on my Time Machine.
    I have tried using the disk utility also, but after a 1 min of trying to access the disk, it stops reponding and I have to force quite Disk Utility.
    I need help! The back up data is my life!;-0

  • Can't access my backups due to permissions issues

    i have a number of time machine backups since months but to some reason when i click the 'documents' folder, there is a one-way sign on it and i get a message that tells me i 'don't have sufficient access privileges'. If i do cmd-I, the permissions are 'unknown - read and write, everyone - no access'. i can't clcik the lock or change that.
    is there anyway to get into that backup?
    thanks.

    interestingly the issues was when i was accessing them via time machine. i actually found a solution now which is to access the backup via the finder which allows me to do a cmd-i and change the permissions.
    Were you looking at the backups for a different user? Time Machine maintains the security of each user's data.

  • Wife can't access iTunes on her 'side'.

    We've got our iMac (Intel) set up for two users, me, and my wife. We used to be able to access our own iTunes from either 'side' (her user side or mine) and we share the iTunes library. Now, for some reason, she cannot access iTunes. It comes up with the error message:
    "The iTunes Library file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file."
    What do I do??

    Is the Music Library still in the Shared Folder?
    Also...navigate to the iTunes Music folder on her account thru Finder and do Get Info. Make sure that she has Read and Write access and that permissions are applied to ALL enclosed folders. Also check under Get Info to see if there is a checkmark next to Locked. If so, unlock the folder.

  • Can't Access Recent Backups in Time Machine

    I was in the middle of installing OSX 10.10.1 and the installation hung on "setting up your mac", so I did a restart with the intention of restoring my whole system from a recent backup. I restarted with the option key, selected restore from Time Machine backup, then selected the backup I wanted my system restored from (dated 17 November), and left it to restore overnight. In the morning I discovered it had actually restored from an old backup dated 17 February 2013! And all the backups from that date forward appeared as blank pages inside Time Machine. It actually restored that old backup, then made several backups of the system it just restored. So in time machine I have several accessible backups of the old system (backups made today). Inaccessible backups which appear as blank pages inside time machine from 17 November all the way back to 17 February 2013. All backups prior to this date are accessible in Time Machine.
    I have tried updating the operating system, so I am now running a fully functioning version of OSX 10.10.1, but this did not enable me to acces the recent backups. When I actually browse the backup disc using Finder I can see the backup files I want to restore the system from all appear to be there. When I go back into Time Machine the dates of these backups all appear on the time line along the right hand side, but for some reason I just cannot access them.
    Please help, I have no idea how to restore my system.
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2010)
    2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

    While in Time Machine, press the key combination shift-command-C. The front window will show all mounted volumes. All snapshots should now be accessible. Select the one you want and navigate to the files you want to restore.
