Can Time Machine retrieve Keynote presentations that have gone AWOL in the cloud?

Does Time Machine store old icloud presentations? I had one and was going to back it up locally on my HD, and now it's missing from the cloud. I am hoping I can restore it somehow by locating it in Time Machine.
I know I can restore earlier versions of a file if I have the presentation to open. I don't even have that in this case.

1) How Time Machine Works its Magic
2) How do I view or restore selected items?
3) How do I use the (not so intuitive) Time Machine display?

The iWork Public Beta allowed me to share Keynote presentations with anyone via the web. How can I share a Keynote presentation online via iCloud? Must the presentation be downloaded to view?

The iWork Public Beta allowed me to share Keynote presentations with anyone via the web. Now Apple tells me the Public Beta is being replaced by iCloud. How can I share a Keynote presentation online via iCloud? Must the presentation be downloaded to view?

iCloud is not designed for sharing data with other people: you will need a third-party alternative such as DropBox or Sugarsync.

Can Time Machine Backup a Disk that has OS 10.4.11 On it?

I have two startup disks on my computer. One starts up with OS X 10.5.2, and the other starts up with OS X 10.4.11. I also have a third disk that I use as the Time Machine backup disk.
If I have started up with OS X 10.5.2, can I backup the disk that has OS X 10.4.11 with Time Machine? Does Time Machine create a backup that can restore the OS X 10.4.11 disk, operating system and all?

I think you guys are right! One key is that I now understand can't restore a Tiger system from Time Machine. Thanks. I totally missed that.
My 10.4.11 "Tiger" system is on my MacBook internal drive, and my Leopard system is on an external drive. What I am going to do is:
Use Time Machine to back up "Leopard", but not "Tiger"
I'm going to back up "Tiger" using Retrospect. Then use Restore in Disk Utilities to make a copy of the "Tiger" disk on an external firewire drive. I believe that this disk can be a startup disk, if I so choose.
Next move the "Leopard" disk to the Mac Book internal drive. I can use either "Restore" or "Time Machine" to do this. I think "Restore" is the way to go, because I won't have to insert the "Leopard" install disk.
When I am finished, I will have "Leopard" on the MacBook, an external drive, and Time Machine. My old Leopard disk will be archived by Retrospect, and will also reside on a bootable firewire disk.
Whew!
What do you guys think about this?
Thanks for the help, and I think there is a possibility of screwing up when you have two operating systems on two different drives on the same computer. I especially follow your logic on Time Machine being designed for Leopard and not Tiger. Thanks for the clear thinking.
Long term I am going to have to devise a better method of safely upgrading operating systems while at the same time keep my old stuff available. Time Machine seems to be the perfect solution for that delima.

TS4124 I have a problem that when I sync my ipod with I tunes it only syncs the songs that have been downloaded from the cloud.

I have 9000 songs in the cloud and have not downloaded all of them
My ipod does not sync the songs that have not been downloaded.
Do i have to download all the playlists individually?

Here's how iTunes works. You add a file to iTunes. iTunes makes a note of where that file is located, gets information from it about artist, etc, and writes the information to its library file. iTunes doesn't look at that file again until you play it. It knows where to find it when it needs it. However, sometimes things happen so the file is no longer where iTunes expects it to be. In many cases this is because the user has renamed a file or folder in the file's pathway, or moved the file. In extreme cases it can happen because a hard drive is dying.
When iTunes invites you to find the file, it is asking you to do exactly that. If you renamed the file you need to remember what you called it and where you put it and point to it to rebuild the link. Sometimes if people move all their files to different drive you need to point to one and iTunes may be able to find others given that information and assumptions as to where the others should be located relative to that.
It is also possible files have gone missing. In that case you need to restore them from their original source or a backup you make regularly of your computer knowing that some day it is 100% guaranteed your drive will fail and you will be very happy you have a copy of everything on another drive.

How can I transfer a keynote presentation that is too large to email from my IPad 3 or my IPhone 5s to an Imac ?

Normally I transfer keynote presentations from my Ipad to the Imac via email. But if the presentation has many photos the email server wont transfer the file. I'd love to learn if AirDrop or some other method would help me. Thanks.

With Keynote 5 for Mac, using a file transfer service like Dropbox work perfectly.
With Keynote 6 there are many issues with images being lost in the file that this does not work.

What do I do with the music files on my computer that have been uploaded to the cloud?

I want to free up disk space on my hard drive, so can I delete my iTunes songs that are stored in the cloud?

Yes you can. But keep in mind that if you want to play your deleted songs, you will have to redownload them from the cloud. So while you can delete them off your system to free up space, you cannot directly play music from the cloud. It has to be downloaded to your computer first.

Any way to create a smart playlist on iOS of songs that have been downloaded from the cloud?

Of my 72gb library it's hard to remember what has been downloaded from the cloud to my iPhone. It would be great if there was a way to have my tracks be dumped into some sort of playlist to easily access what has been downloaded. Anyone know of way to do this? Or recommendations on an easier way to keep track of downloaded tracks?

These all work fine on my mac but again, I was wanting the smart playlist on my iphone. I could download songs from the cloud on my mac (which wouldnt make sense anyways since it's where my entire library is) but this defeats the whole purpose of accessing my music through my phone and icloud and not having to sync or make playlists on my mac.
Let me ask you guys this, every time you want to listen to something on your iOS device, do you wait for it download? Do you remember everyhting you've downloaded and only listen to those tracks? What's your method for listening to music on your device?
Really dissapointed in Match....it's basically a back up service.

HT201250 Can Time Machine backup files stored on external hard drive

Can Time Machine back up files that are stored on external hard drive and save them on a different external hard drive?
I have my pictures stored on an external hard drive connected to my iMac. I want to make an exact copy of the pictures folder on a separate external hard drive. Can Time Machine do that?
If yes, how?
If no, what's a good way to create a mirror of the folder on External Hard Drive #1 (the original) on External Hard Drive #2 (the backup)?
I am not opposed to manually copying every couple weeks or month, but (1) it's less convenient and (2) I got an error message the first time I tried this saying the files couldn't be copied because some of the files being copied had the same name as each other (not exactly that, I'm at work and don't have the message in front of me right now, but that was the gist of it).
Thanks!

1. Yes, if both drives are formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
2. Reformat the drives if needed, open the Time Machine pane of System Preferences, and remove the drive with the pictures from the list of items set to be excluded.

TS1550 can time machine back up discs other than the start up disc

My question is, can Time Machine backup your entire system. By entire system I mean my startup disk and all my internal hard drives and the 3 or 4 external hard drives I have hooked up to my computer. I'm working a lot with videos, pictures and music which is very space intensive, so I need to back up all my information not just start up disk. Can Time Machine take care of that?

To answer you question directly, I don't think so.
To offer my $.02, don't rely on TM. It puts all your data into one big file. When it works, it's great, when it fails, even just a little, it's useless.
You may want to look at SuperDuper or CarbnCopyCloner. They cost a little bit, but you can make bootable backups, schedule backups, easily backup more than one HD, and the backups will be readable on any Mac. Your backups will be individual files, not just one large file that can only be read by TM.

Can time machine back up a computer with multiply hard drives?

I have a MacPro with three hard drives in it. I have been very impressed with how Time Machine works on another iMac I have and want to try using Time Machine on the MacPro - BUT - I want to know if Time Machine could handle backing up three different hard drives, and, if so, in the unfortunate event that one of those three hard drives fails, could I get Time Machine to restore just that one drive and leave the other two untouched?
Thanks - Rob

Yes, if the drive is large enough.
See #1 and #2 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.

Also yes. OSX drives are restored per #14 in the FAQ, other drives per #15 and/or #E3 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting

I have a keynote presentation that includes a significant amount of video. When I edit the keynote slides (not the video slides) how can I save the changes without re-saving the videos (because that takes a VERY long time)?

I have a keynote presentation that includes a significant amount of video. When I edit the keynote slides (not the video slides) how can I save the changes without re-saving the videos (because that takes a VERY long time)? I edit the presentation depending on the audience to which I am presenting.

If you add a new slide with just a text box (therefore a very small amount of data), to an existing presentation then save, Keynote will only save the new content to the file, it wont save pre-existing content as its already included in the file.
The time taken to "save" will be very much shorter than a "save as" when all of the existing content is saved again.

On slide No. 13 of my Keynote presentation, I have varous pictures that go through automatically just as I programmed them, but if I I want to get by clicking to the next slide , it does not let me. How can I program so when I want goes to next slide?

Keynote is programmed to execute all of the effects in a build sequence before it will move to the next slide.
If you want tobe able to move to the next slide at any time in a sequence of builds, you will need to set all of the builds on that slide to: "on click". You will then need to execute each build by pressing the space bar or click the left mouse button for each object.

I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots. Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
See Pondini's page for more explanation: What are Local Snapshots? http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.
The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library. Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots.

Can Time Machine back up a second external hard drive that is attached via usb to a Time Capsule?

Can Time Machine back up a second external hard drive that is attached via usb to a Time Capsule?
I have a iMac with 10.7.4

I want to back up the data on the external Hard Drive that is attached to the Time Capsule to the Tim Capsule using Time Machine.
Thanks for the clarification. Unfortunately, that will not work. You will need to connect the drive directly to your Mac if you want Time Machine to backup the drive to the Time Capsule.

Time Machine freezes/stalls now that I have a new external HD

I have been using a LaCie HD for years to back up my computer with Time Machine. All has been fine. I have an iMac/OS 10.5.8. But a few months ago, I got an EZQ 1 TB external HD to store my video. The Time Machine is still set to store my backup on the LaCie. But now, every so often, Time Machine will freeze up and stall while trying to back things up. I can't force quit anything, so I need to do a hard restart of the computer. It takes forever to reboot, and when it does, it can't find my EZQ HD. What's going on? Thanks for the info.

Possibly, directly or indirectly.
Is Time Machine backing-up anything on the EZQ drive? If so, exclude it for a while and see if the problems stop.
How are these drives connected to your Mac? If they're not on separate ports, try that if at all possible, at least temporarily. If a hub or daisy-chaining is involved, try connecting directly if at all possible. Those should narrow down the possibilities.
If not, it's possible that OSX is having trouble with the EZQ, slowing things down, but not too badly until Time Machine also needs some resources. What happens if you eject and disconnect it -- do the problems stop?
Another way to see what's happening is to watch your CPU usage via the +Activity Monitor+ app (in your Applications/Utilities folder). When it starts, select either +All Processes+ or +Active Processes+ in the toolbar, and sort the list by the +% CPU+ column, so the highest numbers are on top, and select the CPU tab towards the bottom. For this purpose, also select +View > Update Frequency > Less Often+ or Normal from the Menubar.
Various processes will "spike" up and down normally as they do things, then are idle, so you need to watch it for a while and get a feel for the processes that are using the most CPU, and the +% Idle+ at the bottom.
Let it run; try to keep at least the first few lines visible at all times, so you'll be able to see them when your Mac slows down or freezes. When that happens, see what process(es) are using the most CPU.
If the process(es) involved aren't familiar to you, post their names here (and or check this out: http://triviaware.com/macprocess/all)
