Backups no longer recognized after changing the HD connection

Hi,
I have been using Time Machine to back up my iMac on a HD installed in a networked G4 for about a year, with both computers running Leopard. There are a couple of other HD's on the G4 that I use occasionally, and Time Machine has been backing those up as well.
I recently removed the TM HD from the G4 and installed it in an external enclosure which is now connected directly to my iMac by FW 800. Now TM only shows backups from the G4, which I don't need, and ignores the earlier iMac backups that I want. When I "Browse Other Time Machine disks" only the G4 shows up.
Is there any way that I can get my iMac to recognize its earlier TM backups in this new configuration?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

When Time Machine does backups over a network, the backups are placed in a +sparse bundle.+ When they're done to a directly-connected drive, they're put in a "normal" folder named Backups.backupdb at the top level of the disk.
Manually mount the sparse bundle by double-clicking it in the Finder; then the "Star Wars" display should find them.
Time Machine may continue backing-up to the sparse bundle (although this appears to be a bug). If it does, you can let it; the only drawback is having to mount the sparse bundle every time you want to see your backups.
But there's no way (on Leopard) to convert the networked backups to local ones; the only way is to use a different disk drive (or partition it, if there's room), and let Time Machine start fresh to the new drive or partition.

  • Lightroom: Why does auto white balance no longer work after changing the camera calibration profile?

    I'm using NEF raw files from Nikon.
    Lets say for example I import a NEF file into Lightroom (v4) and click on 'auto' for white balance. The white balance in the image is  adjusted correctly (somewhat). However, if I then change the camera profile (in the camera calibration section) from 'adobe standard' to 'camera standard' then the white balance in the image becomes very wrong. I then have to set the white balance back to 'as shot' and correct it manually instead.
    Why would 'auto white balance' no longer work just because I change the profile from 'adobe standard' to 'camera standard'?
    Any ideas?

    Works as expected here...
    Which Lr version and what OS??

  • ITunes password no longer works after changing the account information on iPad?

    I gave my iPad to my daughter, who changed the account information so I wouldn't be charged for her downloads.  Now I can't get into my iTunes account with my old password.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  I'm not very tech saavy!  Thanks.

    As Tyler implies: you opened up the phone and furtled about inside it, therefore the responsibility for the state of the phone lies entirely with yourself. Nobody else can help, as nobody can know what you did in there.

  • Firewire drive no longer recognized after upgrade?

    having an onset of problems the last 2 weeks.
    first upgraded to 10.4.6 on mac mini 1.42 non-duo, worked a few days than acted weird with apps crashing. had to reinstall from 10.4 disk. seemed ok. repaired permissions, ect. after reinstall (and a subsequent power outage) a firewire drive attached at time was no longer recognized by mac mini or connected imacG3. reinstalled 10.4.2 on mac mini. installer unable to reinstall 10.4.6., I would like to have firewire drive recognized again. when attached to other firewire drive in daisy chain, says device unrecognized, other wise unable to get any info on drive. what to do?

    I am having nearly the exact same issue as you are experiencing. My Western Digital Dual-Option Media Center 160 GB FW HD is going in and out big time. It seems to be there for a time but then conks out. I have to disconnect the power and now the drive seems to be malfunctioning.
    Same story with my LaCie 52x CD Burner. I placed the Disk Warrior CD in there and the computer recognized the disc at first but then spinning beach balls galore!
    This has to be one of the worst updates to an OS X system I can remember. I can only think PowerPC QA testing has gone through the toilet since the Intel move was completed.

  • Films - Movies not Working or corrupted in iTunes after changing the  album artwork

    After trying to change the album artwork for some movies I own, I realized that such movie unplayable after such change and I cannot even revert what I have done. More, it seems like if you press on the "get info" section of the movie, you will notice that the artwork tab is gone and therefore, it’s like the movie is corrupted after changing the artwork. Any ideas? Has anyone encountered this before?

    Just checked and I have the updated itunes 8.0.1 with the poster frame problem.
    I finally found a fix for the movie album artwork problem.
    After realizing several movies had the same poster frame as one of the movies. I deleted the movie with the common poster frame which had been copied to other movies. The other poster frames changed on the other movies because they no longer had a reference to the file from which the poster frame was copied. So I copied the deleted movie back into itunes and then got to thinking that perhaps there is something else in common with the movies which displayed the same poster frame. I found that I had set the album field to the same title. So I changed the album field file by file, to something else. Then I set the poster frame after playing a few seconds of the video at a point where I wanted the frame set to the current frame. I got a film icon on the movie icon for a few seconds while it changed it. Sometimes I had to repeat selecting the different poster frames for each movie because it didn't take the first time... the second time I selected a different poster frame it was then set to the first poster frame that I selected. So now the movies which all had the same album "Aviation" now are all changed to "Flight Training" Of course, now the poster frames for those movies are all the same poster frame but at least they are correct for the type of movie.
    So if the album name is set to the same thing on several different movies they will all have the same poster frame.

  • My 2008 Mac Pro is no longer recognizing memory in the B card. Is it simply a defective card or should I look elsewhere for an answer.

    My 2008 Mac Pro is no longer recognizing memory in the B card. Is it simply a defective card or should I look elsewhere for an answer? It was working unntil sometime early this year. Thank you for any enlightenment you can provide.

    I'm not sure I understand. You swapped the A and B modules. The B module does not show up in the A modules slot? That would indicate the module is bad. If the A module doesn't show up in the B module's slot, then the slot is bad.

  • My telus email no longer works after installing the new os Yosemite

    my telus email no longer works after installing the new os Yosemite

    This is a problem between Telus and Yosemite.  Telus, of course, blames Apple. 
    Check the box that says "Allow insecure authentication"  That will get your email working.
    However, this box will get un-checked when you stop start Mac Mail.  The next time you start Mail, you'll have to re-check it for each Telus account.  (This is the bit that Apple needs to fix.)

  • No effect after changing the message mapping

    Hi everybody,
    i'm using PI 7.1. After changing the attributes in my message mapping i can no see any effect in my result.
    Should it be a cache problem? Where can i delete the caches?
    regards,
    Sid

    Hi,
    I guess there can be two things.
    before going to the tcode sxi_cache...
    Please go to the IR, Click Environment, Cache Notification and then select author as your id.
    Now see if any are in red status. if so click on the change and click Repeat Cache Notification.
    Now press refresh.
    I guess this will resolve your problem

  • ORA-12545 error after changing the host name as IP address in Tnsnames.ora

    HI,
    I tried to connect PHP and oracle in Red Hat linux. I got error ORA-12545 after changing the host name as IPAddress in Tnsnames.ora file. In sqlnet.ora file also i have entry for tnsnames in Directory_Path. I struggled so much but i couldnt solve that. Please give me ur valuable suggestions....

    12545, 00000, "Connect failed because target host or object does not exist"
    // *Cause: The address specified is not valid, or the program being
    // connected to does not exist.
    // *Action: Ensure the ADDRESS parameters have been entered correctly; the
    // most likely incorrect parameter is the node name. Ensure that the
    // executable for the server exists (perhaps "oracle" is missing.)
    // If the protocol is TCP/IP, edit the TNSNAMES.ORA file to change the
    // host name to a numeric IP address and try again.
    Seems you specified wrong IP address.

  • Concerning Epson Printer 4880: after changing the Ink from Photo Black to Matte Black I'm not getting the Epson Software in Photoshop and Lightroom. I can not select the paper medium, I don't see my profiles. What is wrong?

    Concerning Epson Printer 4880: after changing the Ink from Photo Black to Matte Black I'm not getting the Epson Software in Photoshop and Lightroom. I can not select the paper medium, I don't see my profiles. What is wrong?

    That is priceless!!!  Thanks!  I sure needed a good laugh after spending/wasting hours & days trying to either get my c6280 to give up on its Ink System Failure fixation, or find a decent replacement.  Unfortunately I need the Smart Web Printing feature that I guess only HP has, or I'd try a different brand. And now even HP has very few models with that available.
     My error msg is a little different from those previously stated, but close:  0xc18a0201.  Even tho there were frustrations with my c6280, I did like several of its unique features which are hard to find now under $100.  I hate how HP (& I suppose other brands also) are CONSTANTLY changing models & then of course ink cartridges.
    Oh heavens, I've had the c6280 a whopping 2 1/2 years!   I'm sure they want us poor slobs to have to buy a new one every year & a day!  To say nothing of the exorbitant prices for ink.  And now if this one is really dead in the water, I have SIX unused #02 ink cartridges which I cannot return---I got them in a combo pack, & for some reason have wound up with THREE lite pink & THREE lite blue cartridges, while having to buy extras of the other colors, that ran out before the others!!!   Yeah, & what's with that not being able to print in BLACK if a color runs out????
    Anyway I really loved your essay!   It's a classic!  And says it all!  I hate that we have to be 'slaves' to the electronic 'wonders'!!!
