Can't see TM's back up after formating iMac...

I've just formated and reinstalled my iMac. I'd a permissions problem and I couldn't fix it, so I just reinstalled being confident because I had everything backed up thanks to TM.
Now I had a problem because I can't see the whole back up since I got thins iMac last Nov. 2007, I can just see what it happened during the last couple of days.
My question is, could somebody help me explaining me exactly how I have to do it in order to being able to se the "old iMac"?

Hi dasle;
How about some more details about your disk configuration?
Also can you tell us exactly where you directed TM to backup the files to?

MacBook can't see my home wireless network after upgrade to OSX 10.8.5

After upgrading to OSX 10.8.5, my MacBook does not detect any wireless nertworks. My iPad and iPhone work fine, my router has been rebooted, WiFi is turned on, and the ethernet connection is how I am writing this message to you via broadband. There are a half dozen wireless networks in range (according to my iPhone) but the MacBook cannot find the router I am sitting next to. Any ideas on how to correct this issue?

It appears an SMC reset was required:

Here is your other post: MacBook can't see my home wireless network after upgrade to OSX 10.8.5
If you reply to it and marked it "solved", perhaps with a link to that post (copy and paste it, or just say you performed the SMC reset) it will help others find a solution. Thanks!

My phone is lost. How can I see what is backed up to it?

iOS backups are not viewable, by design. If you backup using iTunes, to view the contents of your backup requires third-party software. iCloud backups are not viewable at all. This is what gets backed up:

HT4859 How can I see what I backed to iCloud or iTunes?

How can I see what is backed up to my iCloud? Pictures are what I am trying ti find.

Your photo stream photos will appear on your iPad in the my photo stream album; photos from the last 30 days will still be in iCloud but cannot be seen on icloud.com.
Camera roll photos are only in iCloud as part of your iCloud backup. However, you can't see them unless you restore the entire backup to your device.

HT201514 I recently updated the Imac software, now i can't see my Wd back up drive in 'time machine' Its connected via firewire and i can see its connected if i check firewire on my mac.

I recently updated my IMac software to the latest version, now i can't see by WD back up drive in time machine. its conected to the firewire port ok and i can see it if i check firewire connections. The drive works ok on an old windows laptop. Any ideas.

It's a good idea to eject and disconnect external HDs, just in case, but that shouldn't cause a problem.
Why when setting up time capsule, does it only look for WIFI drives through airport.
I think you're confusing Time Machine (the backup software) with a Time Capsule (Apple hardware combining a wireless router and HD). Unless you have a Time Capsule you want to back up to, there's no point to clicking the Set Up Time Capsule button, if that's what you mean:
I've attached the Firewire bus from system profiler, dont understand why i can see it there but not in TM.
There seems to be some sort of problem with the drive, since Disk Utility thinks it's fixed, but immediately the problem returns (per the first sample you posted).
How old is the drive?
If it's within the warranty period, you might want to contact WD or the place you bought it.

HT1692 I have my calendar sync set to "all events" but I can only see 4 months back, the rest is blank.

I need to be able to see last years calendar entries. The setting is already set to "all Events". Still I can only see 4 months back?

You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

Can't see what I am typing after logout from Xorg

Hello,
I noticed this problem a few years ago , I thought that it was related to my computer, of something I was doing wrong, but I noticed that this problem appears every time for me, with every computer. I'll try to explain it, but it will be hard
So, this problem appears at least in the two following cases:
- After editing the .xinitrc file, I start Xorg as user (typing startx) without any xf86-video-driver installed, it crashes (as expected), and comes back to tty.
- After editing the .xinitrc file, I start Xorg as user (typing startx) with the right xf86-video-driver installed, it works. I see my windows manager (Openbox) I click "Logout" to come back from X to tty.
But, once I came back to tty, I can't see what I am typing in the terminal (like a freeze). My commands are executed (I can logout) but I don't see what I am typing. If I try to edit a textfile using nano, it seems to be frozen. The only solution after that to see what I am typing is to logout, and login again. The only solution to edit a textfile using nano after that is to reboot my computer...
Haven't to noticed that ? Am I doing something wrong ? Isn't it a bug ?
Thank you

Can't see anything in external drive after renaming a folder

Hi all,
I can't see anything on my external drive after renaming a folder. I have the drive set up as a Windows drive with access through the volumes folder (I had to transfer large amount of files from a PC and have it be readable on my MacBook Air); I read a FAQ to set it up a few months ago and it has been working fine since then. I saw the same issue come up with a PC HD on a PC, but the solution was for a PC. I don't see anything else like that in the support community (or if it's there, then I'm not searching for it the right way). There is no partition on the drive and it still shows as having the same amount of data written on the drive as before the accident.
Many thanks in advance!

If you upgrade the your router, it would be the firmware that will be upgraded. For more information regarding upgrading the firmware, try this link.
For your external drive, you might need to map the drive again with a different name.
Hope this helps.

Can't see desktop with blue screen after login

Hi
we have a server 2008 ent SP2 that sometimes when use remote desktop or via vmware console to access this server, after login we got blue screen and can't see desktop. after force reboot it recovery.
From application log, we find some error:

Hi,
In general, event ID 1530 means there are some data in the user profile are still be accessed when the user log
off from the Terminal Server. Please check if any of the data is still remained in the user profile supposed to be deleted. You can use Process Monitor or Process Explorer in order to find the software which is using the data and find the solution. If there
is no such data remained, the Windows have possibly stopped the process and deleted the data when log off. In such a case, you can ignore the Event 1530.
In addition, I recommend running SFC /Scannow from an elevated command prompt and check a dump file for Windows
Explorer under C:\Localdumps.
Besides, you can also download
Autoruns to troubleshooting Explorer issues. Please run Autoruns as Administrator, go to Options menu, Filter, select Hide Microsoft Entries and Ok. After that, open the Explorer tab,
and you will see all DLL that are running inside File Explorer, so start disabling and testing if Explorer crashed.

Third party app can only see but not use library after current update

An application that has been using the iTunes library to play music from play lists can no longer read and use the library but can only see the library. This is happening since running the iTunes update to 12. I have corrected the problem by reloading maverick and loading music into iTunes after a fresh install. The app works again with a fresh mavericks install. So, now what is the order of operations to backdate to an earlier version of iTunes? My library can no longer be read by the mavericks install as it has been updated by iTunes 12.
I am using an external drive FYI.
I was thinking I would use the mavericks install and create a new library on the external and move the music folder to the same directory and then add the whole directory. Then one by one import the play lists.
I don't know what to do about the artwork directory? Do I move it and replace the same folder in the new mavericks library directory? Will the above process complicate the assignments?
If apple reads this... The version update that did away with coverflow was the beginning of iTunes decline. It wasn't broke. It was close enough to perfect as a library management tool. You should make the next version closer to that one.

I had a similar problem when trying to install Zinio.air. I have made it all work out. What i did was remove Adobe Air 15 entirely from the Utiliites and Library/ accounts and preferences. I then downloaded Adobe Air 13 and installed and then clicked on Zinio .air and it all installed ok. I also had to temporarily change security settings from Apple approved to Anywhere. All functioning now.

Can't see each other on network after installed OS 10.9.3

After i installed OS 10.9.3 on all of my Mac stations, they can't see any of the Mac anymore. The network router works fine, but they just won't see each other. I found these problem after install OS 10.9.3 to 2 of my Mac Pro. They can't connect to the Macbook Pro runing lower version of OS 10.9.2. Please help.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Can't see photos in my emails after updating to iO7

Hi,
I just updated to i07 and cannot see most photos within my emails now. It worked fine prior to the update, even emails with many photos, but no longer. Sometimes I can see a photo, but if I check another email that has more than one and they are not visible, when I go back to my previous email I can't see that one again either. Sometimes it even locks up the phone as if it's overloaded (like a Windows product), but I have plenty of room. Sometimes it shows nothing, sometimes it shows a "download" and sometimes it shows just an outline of the photo, but it won't do anymore than that. I did the update that immediately followed it, hoping that would help, but it did not. I've reset my phone, turned it off and on, made sure the "load remote photos" was turned on and cleared everything from online, etc. I've emailed to others with iphones and they could view the ones I can't. Has anyone else had this problem? I receive a lot of emails with photos for my charity, so it's important that I figure this out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have spoken with AppleCare several times about this. None of the five tech people I've discussed this with had ever heard of the issue before and assumed it was a problem I was having with my device, but when I told them to google "iPad no lyrics" they did see the discussions on the topic. I also had to keep stressing with everyone I talked to that the lyrics were still present on iPods and iPhones with the same upgrade, but no iPads displayed them now.
The last person I spoke with (yesterday) connected me with a senior advisor named Matt who did some research. When he checked he saw that it had definitely been reported numerous times; the engineers are aware of the issue because there are escalated tickets concerning it, but there is no official response yet. He said that Apple typically doesn't take features away - it adds them - so it was probably an error which will be fixed in a subsequent upgrade.

TS4036 can I see what was backed up when I did my storage upgrade icloud?

I upgraded my icloud account, and my iphone backed up. Now that I have lost my phone how do I see what was successfully backed up or not?

The only way to see what was backed up is by restoring form the backup. All of you purchased content, app data and camera roll photos should be in the iCloud backup, but you can't actually see what is in the backup anywhere.
Take alook at this.

Can't see audio wave in viewer after FCP5 project updated into FCP2

After updating my project from old FCP 5 version running on Tiger to FCP2 running on Leopard, I can't see the audio wave picture inthe viewer window. Is there an explanation for this?
Thanks assistance.
Ray

You can try clearing the waveform cache in your project folder. Press Shift Q to open the System Preferences window. Look for the location that is set as your Waveform Cache location, then use the Finder to navigate to that folder. Remove the cache files from there, and then try relaunching your project to see if that solves your issue.

Set up and migration assistant can't see time machine back ups

Hi. Trying to cut this short.
I Tried installing osx 10.8. Halfway through the installation it told me I didn't have enough free space. Helpful.
