Can I go back in time with Contacts saved on iCloud?

I noticed that roughly 300 contact on my iPhone were duplicated. When I started deleting the duplicates, both would disaper. I back up my contact and most other things to iCloud (not iTunes). Is there a way to go "back in time" to receive them? Thank you.

You can restore the latest backup on icloud back to your device. But that requires wiping the phone and starting fresh; connect to itunes and perform a restore.

I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard and foolishly upgraded to Yosemite. Is it possible to go back in time with Time Machine and reinstall Snow Leopard. Then upgrade to Lion or Mavericks? Any other ideas on how I can exit Yosemite?

I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard and foolishly upgraded to Yosemite. Now have numerous problems. Is it possible to go back in time with Time Machine and reinstall Snow Leopard? Then upgrade to Lion or Mavericks? Any other ideas on how I can exit Yosemite?

Once you get yourself back to Snow Leopard, if you still want to upgrade somewhat, I would suggest the following:
1. Get an external hard drive that you can use for experiments with new OS versions. You could partition it into 2 or 3 partitions. You could then clone your existing Snow Leopard system to one partition using Carbon Copy Cloner (well worth $40) or SuperDuper ($25).
2. Buy OS X Mountain Lion for $20, through the Apple online store (I don't think it's available through the App Store). Apple has decided to make it very difficult for anyone to get Mavericks unless they have already downloaded it.
You will receive two e-mails from Apple, one containing a PDF with a redemption code, and one with the password you will need to unlock the PDF. Using the code, you will download Mountain Lion from the App Store, where it will appear among your Purchased items.
After ML finishes downloading, its installer app will launch itself. When you see this launch screen, QUIT the install app immediately! Go to your applications folder, find the Install OS X Mountain Lion app, and copy it to a safe location outside of your Applications folder. Keeping one or more copies will allow you to reinstall without unnecessary aggravation if you later need or want to do that. At this point, you can re-launch the Installer in the Applications folder and let it run. You can install it on a clean partition on your external HD, or you can allow it to upgrade the Snow Leopard clone you created on your external drive, or you can do both. This should allow you to test how everything works for as long as you like.
3. If you left yourself a free partition on your test drive, try a clean install of Yosemite and set everything up from scratch (do not migrate anything). This will allow you to see whether your problems with it were related to something in your Snow Leopard system.

How do I delete time machine backups if I can't zoom back in time?

Hi,
I'v been backing up my 250GB HD using time machine very successfully over the years. I store additional home movies that aren't on my HD on my time capsule machine in a seperate folder from the backups that are made daily. My 250GB HD is now full and it has been duplicated and placed on a much larger 1TB HD drive back inside my iMac. Because it is a new HD, time machine is wanting to do a new 250GB backup of it (which is ok), BUT there is not enough space on my time machine drive to do a 250GB backup. I need to delete the prior time machine backups to make space. However, because the HD is new, I'm unable to zoom back in time with time machine and delete backups from the time capsule. When I open time capsule in finder I see a .sparsebundle folder which I assume must contain all my old HD time machine backups. To free up time capsule space, can I simply delete the .spersebundle folder? I'm nervous to do that and don't want to mess anything up, so I'm asking for advise. Any advise would be much appreciated. Thx.

That's a problem, as you now see. When you get this sorted out, see #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for an explanation and some workarounds.

You can see and delete individual backups from an old drive, per #E3 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting. Deleting a lot of them will take a very long time, of course.

Yup, that's an option, too but will also take quite a while. See #Q5 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for details.
Whatever you do, by all means, connect via Ethernet cable if at all possible. It will still be slow, but be 2-3 times faster than a good wireless connection.

IPod 4,1 will not update to iOS 7. I updated my iMac to 10.9.1 (maverick). Latest Numbers version on iMac is not compatible with Numbers on iPod. Ideas? Can I go back a version with Numbers?

iPod 4,1 will not update to iOS 7. I updated my iMac to 10.9.1 (maverick). Latest Numbers version on iMac is not compatible with Numbers on iPod. Ideas? Can I go back a version with Numbers? I downloaded old version of Numbers 2.0.1 from DVD but with both versions the 2.0.1 will not open. So both versions are present but only the new version functions. I tried to drag the new version to the trash but the old version still runs error message and will not open. I did not try to restart with the new version in the trash.

Maybe. See:

Really need to be able to save back to the older versions, in order to output vector files on an older plotter. Running an older application of Mac sign from Softeam, can't get in touch with them. Total pain to upgrade, been dumbing down for too many years.

Can my tunes library me associated with more than one iCloud account?

Can my iTunes library be associated with more than one iCloud account?

No, but as mentioned in my answer to your other post, you can share the same iTunes ID with your family and maintain separate iCloud accounts with separate IDs.

Can I go back to SL with Time Machine after I did one back up with Lion?

So I installed Lion and need to go back to SL. My Time Machine did one backup in Lion, but I was wondering if I could some how go back in time and just make my computer the way it was before Lion? If so how? thanks!

See Kappy's going back to SL from Lion guide.

Little white box on the numbers, stops playback, can drag it back in time but not forward, can't figure out how to delete it, how do I get rid of this thing?

On the numbers that show where you are on a track, appeared a little white box. It stops the playback, I can move it left, or back in time, but not right, or forward in time. How can I delete this thing?

Thanks for the replies. Yes it's the end of song marker-I didn't put it there. It appeared, a bug I guess?
In this instance it could only be dragged left for some reason. I was working on another file and it did let me drag it right, maybe the the non-dragability was a bug too. It's all moot, because I went back to the file and it's blank! But I can start again, I have the WAV.
I am a novice of long standing with antiquated hardware and software, but I'm having fun and creating some useful audio. Really appreciate the help.

Back in time with rman ?

Hi,
I have a rman set of backups from an Oracle database. The database is ok, only the user wants to have that older stand of the data, so I must go back in time.
The rman script to generate the backups is as follows:
rman target sys/manager@EON1 catalog rman/rman@rman << EOF >> $LOG 2>&1
run {
configure retention policy to redundancy 2;
# debug on;
allocate channel d1 type disk;
backup incremental level 0
skip inaccessible filesperset 10 noexclude
format '/u0/oracle/backup/INCR_%s_%p'
database include current controlfile;
release channel d1;
sql 'alter system archive log current';
allocate channel d1 type disk;
backup skip inaccessible filesperset 50
format '/u0/oracle/backup/ARCH_%s_%p'
archivelog all delete all input;
release channel d1;
report obsolete;
delete noprompt obsolete;
allocate channel for maintenance type disk;
crosscheck backup;
release channel;
allocate channel for delete type disk;
delete noprompt expired backup;
release channel;
EOF
My database world is Sybase, a little bit Oracle skills too but no rman.
Can anybody describe me the steps to restore that backup set?
Thanks a lot.
Daniel S

1. shutdown and backup your database (!!!).
2. start in umount mode
3. rman target sys/manager@EON1 catalog rman/rman@rman
4. at the RMAN prompt perform a point in time restore/recover, e.q.:
restore database until time "to_date('19.01.2009 13:00:00','DD.MM.YYYY HH24:MI:SS')";
recover database until time "to_date('19.01.2009 13:00:00','DD.MM.YYYY HH24:MI:SS')";

Can I use Labview real time with PCI 6013?

How much does Labview real time cost?
Do i need to have some additional hardware to use labview real time with PCI 6013?

You can not use the PCI-6013 board with LabVIEW Real-Time.
We offer three platforms for LabVIEW Real-time. PXI embedded controllers, 7030 data-acquisition plug-in boards (7030/xxxx) and FieldPoint. For more information on these options go to www.ni.com/products and then choose Real-Time from the menu on the left. There are PCI versions of the 7030 boards. Each 7030 board has a data-acquistion board attached to it (6030E, 6040E or 6533). When you embed a LabVIEW Real-Time program on the 7030 you will be able to access the daughter board. You can not access other boards from the embedded program. If you want to use several daq cards in your real-time system I would recommend a PXI chassi and PXI daq boards.

Scrolling a page at a time with contacts

I converted a movie into keyframes but can't go back in time...

I imported a video. I chose to make it a movie clip so I can access its keyframes. Because I can't do that if it's embedded or something. It has 1800. When I get close to the end I want it to jump back to frame 300. but it does not want to ( please... I need help within 3 hours or I fail an exam at school f**k !

I had an issue which started very recently; I went into Time Machine to perform a small restore, I found that I couldn't move back in time and whats more the cancel button no longer worked; I had some difficulty getting out of the Time Machine interface.
After looking at settings, the machines Hostname, performing a restart - nothing cleared the issue.
As this was a recent change in operation I thought a little about the software changed in the last week; my Antivirus has upgraded.
Looking at the setting I explicitly excluded the Time Machine drive from any scans; now everything is fine!
So, if you are having issues, aside from the other checks, any Antivirus may be having a side effect and an impact on Time Machine.
