Can't Access Old Files

When I try to access files from Time Machine I get the message "This operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to access "item"." What causes this and how can I access these files?
Thanks in advance

So I did it exactly as I am explaining for you.. went back to beginning of the year and located the library.
Created a new directory called recovered iphoto under the desktop.. and did a simple copy and paste to it.
Then you change libraries in iphoto and you will be able to see all your photos.
You will see from the location which library you are looking at.
To change back go to the switch libraries and relaunch.
I am sure this is only one method.. but by locating the file yourself you will be able to see if the file exists or not..
I do always commend the method that pondini has worked out.
http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
Q15 and then read the particulars for iphoto.
http://pondini.org/TM/15p1.html
But my instructions will get you around the problem of the TM not being able to see earlier dates.
Please do read Pondini's info about how TM works..
Although you may not follow it all the home page on the TM .. how it does its magic is required reading.
http://pondini.org/TM/Home.html
When the system goes through a major change.. And Mavericks is the worst culprit then it can really do some damage to your old backups.
But you should also plug into the TC by ethernet.. and wait a while.. Mavericks version of TM can take ages to populate the TM display for dates earlier than Mavericks install (they don't register at all at first).
Also note Pondini's comments about using Disk Images.. or clones.. as this is far more secure method to backup.. and know that your stuff is not going to be suddenly deleted by TM.

  • How can I access old Entourage emails to import them into Mac Mail after upgrading to OS Lion?il

    How can I access old Entourage emails to import them into Mac Mail after upgrading to OS Lion? I don't really want to go back to Snow Leopard in order to access the old Microsoft Applications, but they simply aren't supported in Lion.

    In Mail you can select Import Mailboxes... from the File menu. There is an import from Entourage feature.

  • Can't access old ver. 9, 11 & 13 clips after Windows upgrade

    In Sept. 2014 I downloaded PE 13 from B&H, worked fine and was able to access old PE9 & PE11 clips.  In Dec. 2014 had problems with Wind. 7 Home Ed. and had to upgrade to 8.1 (decided on Pro).  Installed 8.1 Pro end of Dec. 2014 and bought PE 13 DVD from B&H to reinstall after I backed up my hard drive.  Problem after install of 8/1 Pro and installing PE13 from DVD I can't access and restore old clips from 9, 11 & 13.  Tried everything I can think of....any suggestions PLEASE!

    Very good, I completely understand.  Please understand "I am not a computer geek!"
    With the old computer system, you have Premiere Elements 9, 11, and 13 projects. And, you import media into each and see thumbnails for each of your imports in the project media area of the program (in version 11 and 13, called Project Assets).  CORRECT!  Please as we go forward I have the PE 13 that was downloaded from B&H and worked perfectly with my previous assets in PE 9 & 11.
    When you go to open a project in one of these programs and go to the project media area, do the source media thumbnails still show as before with image in the thumbnail? Or does the thumbnail have a display of circular arrows? If the present as before, can you drag the file from the project media area to the Timeline? If you cannot, it that the problem? NO!  (First info is when I set up my new PE 13 after copying all data to a 1T desk drive and loaded Windows 8.1 Pro to replace my Windows 7 Home Edition, I set up the PE 13 and used 64 bit as suggested.)  NOW...When I locate my previous Project Assets on the 1T drive they show as "red blocks" with a play arrow in them where previously were thumbnails, but I can't retrieve them.  As such there is nothing to add to the timeline.  Last night I added to the NEW PE 13 a 22 min program I'm working on.  I have all those assets, thumbnails and everything is working as wonderfully as it did in 9, 11 and downloaded 13.
    Now in response to a previous question you asked:
    1. When you open Premiere Elements 13 Expert workspace, go to Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime, do you see a list of presets when you explore
    the Presets" field there?  NO.... I can get to /Computer but there is no QuickTime there!  I did download QuickTime yesterday after your suggestion.
    2. You wrote
    Restarted PE13 and received the message "The selected file cannot be played becuse your system does not have the required compresser/decompresser (codec) installed.
    Where are you getting the selected file---- from Premiere Elements 13 Expert workspace Project Assets to where it was imported originally from a hard drive save location?
    Or other? What is the specific full name of one of these files that is giving the error message?
    With everything I've been trying, I'll have to recreate this series of events to answer directly.
    When you did the switch from Windows 7 Home to Windows 8.1, did you go 64 bit to 64 bit or 32 bit to 64 bit in operating system?  Help me with a way to determine what the bit was on 9 & 11!
    Were two separate computers involved or did you manage to change the operating all on one computer?  All on one Computer
    The major focus for me right now is to make sure I know what file triggers the ".....not have the required compressoer/decompressor (codec)"? And to know that
    you are in the Premiere Elements 13 Editor and not the Organizer 13 workspace.  Help me understand!!!!  I know the difference between "Add Media", "Project Assets", "Organizer", "Editor" and "Workspace".  But "Project Assets" and "Workspace" are part of "Editor", so I don't understand your question.

  • HT4859 Can't access my files uploaded to iCloud, yet iCloud shows 2 out of 5 gigs used. How can I access my files?

    I recently had an issues with my old iPhone 4s. I took it in to the apple store but the night before made sure I backed up my files to iCloud. After doing so I made sure my files were backed up because it went from 0 of 5 gigs to 2 of 5 gigs used. When I got my new phone, also an 4s, I tried to recover my contacts and pictures from iCloud, yet nothing happened. When I logged into icloud.com it shows no old contacts, actually none at all. I also can't figure out how to access my old pictures and files on icloud.com. When I go to icloud's settings on my iPhone it clearly shows 2 gigs of files yet when I try to restore the files to my new phone nothing actually gets added to the new phone. How can I access these files???? Anyone have any idea??

    just tried restoring from backup and it didn't list it as one of the backup options after i wipe out the iphone yet for some reason it shows up when i go through settings>>>manage storage. thanks anyway. i may have to bite the bullet and sit and wait for a few hours at the apple store, argh...

  • All my desktop icons are Adobe Reader icons, can't access related files

    I was trying to open a file this morning, and when a pop-menu asked what application I wanted to choose (from a list) to open it, I clicked on Adobe Reader - just as a guess.   After that,  just about all my desktop icons are Adobe icons, and when I click on them, the pop up menus says I can't access the file.   These icons also show up on my menu of all my MS Office programs like Outlook, Word, Excel,  etc. 
    Tech support at Adobe recommended I use System Restore, but it also is now an Adobe icon, so I can't open it.    If anyone can help reverse this, I'd greatly appreciate it.
    Thanks,
    David

    Hi,
    This also happened to me this morning. Now all my icons are PDF symbols and Reader opens when I try to open any other program. I uninstalled Reader it and it fixed itself but when I reinstalled the program the same issue occurred.
    I wanted to make PDF reader the default application when openning PDF's vs. Distiller, tinkered and broke my computer.
    Any clues on how to bring everything back to normaL?

    Thanks Lawrence. I've spent over 3 hours on the phone/chatting to online support and none of it seemed to help as it all revolved around resetting emails etc but can't do any of it without my access to my old email. Now my phone won't take cloud because they advised to set up new apple ID and use that, but can't sign out of old one completely. Also doesn't help because my phone and laptop are set up on the old one. Thanks for the help.

    Can I access my files stored in the hard disk connected to airport extreme when i am away? How?

    You can't technically. iPads cannot directly read HDDs like a computer can. 
    You will need an app liie FileBrowser to do this. Of course all file operations will be done through the App itself.

  • How can we access the file/directory system in the server

    Hi friends,
    I have made a text editor attached with an audio player for my project.
    Both text editor and audio player are implemented in applet and put in to a
    jsp page using jsp:plugin. Text editor and player are separate applets running
    in the same page and from same server.A client who is using this editor may
    want to save the edited text files to the server as well as hear audio files from
    directories in the server.
    My question is how can we access the file/directory system in the server
    like we do in the local machine.When the user cliks save or openfromserver button
    in the editor, folder/files in the server must be displayed as we do with FileChooser.
    I am using Apache Tomcat 5,wiindows 2000 server, jdk1.5.
    manu

    You can't access it directly. But your applet can make net connections to the server, and the server can provide that kind of functionality. Generally this is easiest by making HTTP connections and having the server provide the functionality via the web server. (So in your case, JSPs or servlets on the server would list/deliver/create/modify/delete files, and the applets would invoke those JSPs and servlets.

    You can, but how are you going to back up those other files?  When (not if) your Time Capsule fails, you risk losing them.  See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for details.
    Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?
    Not sure what you mean.  You have to connect a computer, either via Ethernet cable or wirelessly, to read or write to the disk. 

  • ERRORS Muse not menus working, JSON, can't open old files

    Using 2014.4CC
    I built out a site, went to save an upload to BC.
    Midway thru upload, got a JSON error .. see screenshot below. It exited, reopened the file and happened again.
    Renamed the folder at ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Adobe Muse CC to force a refresh of prefs ... Muse would open, but no menus, can't open pages, exit, etc ...
    So I uninstalled Muse using the uninstaller in Apps folder, cleared the folders in ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Adobe Muse CC
    Reinstalled Muse from CC app ... opens, can create a new site, but open any old ones, the menus still don't work.
    How do i get a fresh install and open my older files again?

    All menus grayed out ... can't edit old files, can only create a new one ....
    What folders do i purge and install Muse? This all started with a JSON error above ... using late Muse app 2014.2

  • How can I access video file from sd card on ipad2?

    How can I access video file from sd card on ipad2?

    Your iPad 2 will see the video if:
    It's in a DCIM folder on the top level of the card (which is how most cameras do it)
    It's name is 8 characters, no more, no less (CKDI9483 for example)
    It's a format that the iPad will play
    I've made mp4's of things, folderized them right and named them 'right' and can transfer them to my iPad, so you can use a computer to make the files conform to what the iPad will see.

  • Can I access local files?

    I am writing an application using Adobe Air that will have to utilize and store media files locally on a user's computer.  My marketing team now believes that a downloadable application that will be installed on a user's computer will be a dealbreaker for some users due to the fear of a virus, so now they are suggesting that we will have better sales numbers if people just need to log into a website to use the application.  No problem, Air applications can be embedded into a website.  But can an Air application embedded in a browser still store and manipulate files on a user's computer?  Storing media files for a large number of individuals can become cost prohibitive, so rather than store them online, we would like to create a folder on a user's system to organize their files.  Is this possible with a web-embedded Air application?
    Thanks.

    AIR applications are always installed on the user's computer. You cannot run an AIR application on a website. On a web page, you can include a link to download or install an AIR application.
    AIR applications can access local files.
    Flash Player applications can also access local files, but the user first grants permission. For example, see the FileReference.load() and FileReference.save() methods (added in Flash Player 10):
