Can you get files out of an .inprogress backup inside a .sparsebundle

I am trying to restore files from a time machine backup to a time capsule. My hard drive died and sent off to apple care to fix and returned brand spanking new. Now I am trying to restore the files from my time machine backup, but time machine won't access the correct backup on the time capsule, keeps trying to restore my wife's laptop to mine.
I am able to mount the .sparsebundle file associated with my laptop and when you open the drive it has a file with Date.inprogress I can open that as a package and see all the files from my backup but I can't copy any of them out. This is pretty frustrating, as I can see my photos in preview, but can't get them to my disk. All I really want is the photos, everything else can be reinstalled. Anyone got any ideas?

don't bother with the inprogress file. I don't believe you can do anything with it.
when you open the sparse bundle there should be folders with your full backups. why don't you use those?

  • Can you get file creation dates for Nomad II .NVF fil

    Hi,
    I have an old Nomad II MG that has several voice recordings of my daughter over the last 4 years, but I don't know the dates they were recorded.
    Is there a way to get the actual date of the recording from the Nomad device? All I seem to end up with is the current date when I upload it into Windows.
    Thanks...

    Hi,
    Newbie to SharePoint, learn quite a lot from the links you provided.
    “I found out that the original dates are only available in SharePoint if the explorerview has been used”, this would make sense because the original creation time is generated
    by the file system in the local machine.
    However, when a file is uploaded to SharePoint library, it will be stored as binary data in the database, as well as the newly created time. It means that it will be a “new” file
    in the SharePoint site regardless of where it comes from.
    Per my knowledge, the only way I can suggest is that you will need to create a client desktop application for the file uploading, which will be a more general way not only for
    uploading a file, but also when we need to migrate files between different systems.
    Thanks

  • How can you get File/Folder information?

    Hello,
    I'm a Windows XP/Vista convert. One thing I liked about XP and Vista is how you could simply point to a file, hover the pointer over it and it would tell you information about it. Also, in the status bar it would tell you the total amount of space occupied by all the files in a folder.
    Is there a way to get this same functionality in OSX? I haven't upgraded to Leopard just yet, but I wonder if it has this functionality built into it. Very simple features, but can 10.4.10 or 10.5 do either one? Or is there a simple utility that will give this functionality to the Finder?
    Also, what's the BEST file manager for OSX out there? I use PowerDesk in XP quite a bit, is there something similar out there for the Mac?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Thanks, but I meant to add, is there some way to get this information other than the way you've outlined? I like how Windows handles it, either by displaying it in the status bar or showing a bubble/popup by just hovering the mouse over the icon. Please tell me that Leopard will do this. I mean, that seems like a VERY basic feature that, well, just makes sense to me. It shouldn't be anymore difficult than that.
    Is this addressed in another way in MacOSX?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

  • Can you get chapters out of PP into Encore if it is a DD5.1 Blu-Ray?

    This is a minor item however annoying.
    I make 5.1 DD audio HD Blu-Ray discs.  Therefore, I cannot use dynamic link (cannot believe this is STILL not fixed even in CS5, but anyway...) so I have to export my video and audio out of P Pro (I use CS4) and then import into Encore.
    Am I correct that however I import into Encore:
    1) As an asset into Encore separately for both the 5.1 audio and video and the select both and right click to create a timeline.
    or
    2) Import the Video (with no audio) directly as a timeline and then import the 5.1 audio as an asset and add it to the timeline.
    Regardless, neither method keeps the chapter marks that were made in P Pro.  Again, not a big deal but it would be nice.
    It is so frustrating that as Adobe touts their 5.1 and Blu-Ray capability that they have still have not made it seamless with dynamic link.
    Thanks,

    Stan,
    Thanks.  I will try the dynamic link for my next 5.1 project.
    As far as minor edits, I am transcoding once I "think" I am done in P Pro and then importing into Encore a separate audio and video stream.  But, if I miss something an don't notice it unitl I am in Encore or the disc is made, I have to as you say go back to the original and then fix it in Pr Pro, re-transcode and re-import into Encore.
    My understanding is with Dynamic Link I would have the added benefit of not having to do that because then the transcoding WILL take place in Encore.
    As far as feature request, I would be less worried about chapter marks carrying over than having an integrated dynamic link process for 5.1 projects.

  • I bought the Adobe Photoshop Classroom in a Book for CS6 by accident and I have CC. I know, stupid mistake. But I can't take return the book. Is is similar enough to CC that I can still get use out of the book? Thank you so much

    Each version of Adobe products builds upon the previous ones.  Some things like filters and advanced features may evolve or become deprecated over time, but the basic tools have remained pretty much the same for decades.  As long as you know there are subtle differences between versions, I think you will still get a great deal of value from C in a B for CS6.

  • Can you get the file name of the current executing TSQL script?

    Can you get the file name of the current executing TSQL script? I wrote entries to a generic log file and would like to include the script name.

    Okay, So What you can do is
    1. Read get the version from your  database and redirect it to a text file(SQLCMD outout can be directed to text file using -o option or windows redirection operator >)
    2. Now you can read this value from the text file either inside a batch file or a powershell script and decide what operations you can do.

  • Can you get a battery replacement at an Apple store while you wait? What would the rough cost be, out of warranty?

    Can you get a battery replacement at an Apple store while you wait? What would the rough cost be, out of warranty?

    I am not sure what device you are trying to replace the battery on, but usually the battery is at least 30% of the cost of the device from what I have read. Apple likes to keep a monopoly on batteries I think. I have never seen them replace a battery at the store, usually they have to ship it out. You can find batteries for sale online, but you will have to crack the device open yourself.

  • HT3787 If you accidentally eject that local file (plain white disk image) from another user, can you get it back?

    If you accidentally eject local file from mobile me from another user, how can you get it back? Or is it stored somewhere else????
    My website was saved on there. And I need it!!
    I didn't realize that was the idisk since mobileme has been gone for so long.

    That's what I was hoping.  I use Time Machine to back up the entire computer.  But I'm assuming it was a disk image, and that wouldn't be saved on the backup?  Or where could I find it?

    Backing up an iOS device will copy some data to a backup file within iTunes, but this excludes all media.  You can also transfer iTunes Store purchases from the iDevice to iTunes but, without using a third-party tool, nothing else.  As long as you do not sync the iPod with your new library, the media that's on it will remain ... for as long as it keeps functioning, is not lost, stolen, eaten by the dog, ...
    You may also have an option to recover your previous library from your old laptop; as long as its hard drive isn't fried, a computer repair store or technician may be able to extract the drive, mount it in an external enclosure, and copy your data to another PC.  Whatever you choose, there is no real alternative to having all your media on your computer, managed by iTunes, and regularly backed up to another device/location.
