Did Time Machine restore, now two apps have white slash in circle over icon in dock

Yesterday morning my disk drive failed in my macbook pro, so I bought a new drive, installed it, installed 10.6 on it, then at the end of the install used my Time Machine backup (luckily it was from Sat night) to restore me on the drive. Ran a couple of rounds of Software Update, and I seem to be pretty much back to where I was. (Except that gmail had deleted my mail from the server!)
Now my Numbers (iWork '09) and Xcode icons in my dock have a white slash-line-in-circle over them, and they are greyed out. Both apps still seem to work just fine, and when launched they get the white light next to them. When Xcode launches, the icon goes back to its bright color and the white slash/circle disappears, only to return when the app is Quit. With Numbers the icon stays in its weird state while the program runs merrily along.
Can anyone out there un-puzzle me?
(While people often write whining and/or ranting complaints about this and that piece of apple technology, which sometimes get deleted by the moderators as violating the TOS, would it be ok if I write a slobbery mash note about how I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE Time Machine? THANK YOU APPLE! When a windoze user loses a disk, they are SCREWED. Every PENNY that I have spent over the years paying a little more for Apple technology paid back a hundredfold yesterday!)

I installed from a 10.6.0 disk, and selected Restore from Time Machine backup at the end of the install. Then the first thing I did was install the 10.6.8 ComboUpdate, and after rebooting then did all of the other updates that came up in Software Update.
(Oddly enough, I had the ComboUpdate dmg in my downloads directory, and when I tried to install it, the Installer failed immediately. The one that SoftwareUpdate downloaded from Apple took a long time to download, but it worked just fine. I used that dmg to update a couple of dozen machines back when 10.6.8 was new and had no problems.)

I used my not empty hard drive for the time machine, so now i only have stuff from time machine, everything else is gone!!! please help, does this mean everything else is completely gone?

Did mac format everything that was there? if not, why cant i see it when i opebn the drive, and if it did format it is there a way to bring it back? my whole life is on that harddrive!!!!

If you clicked through a warning that Time Machine was going to erase the drive, then yes, everything that was there before is gone. Restore from one of your backups.

After Time Machine restore,now apple logo and spinning gear

Ok, so my iMac crashed recently. I used Time Machine to restore. I got the "Successful" message,and clicked to reboot. Upon re-boot, it gets to the grey screen with the apple logo and the spinning gear and it freezes up there. I've turned off and on numerous times and get nothing different. I'm frustrated to say the least....
I know I've seen a topic here somewhere similar to this, but can't find it now. Is there anyone out there that can help me figure this out? I've done the disc utility and everything checks out fine...
Thanks in advance

Does it boot into Safe Mode?
If not, does it boot into Recovery System? If so, launch Disk Utility there and repair the HDD.

Leopard. Did a full restore from Time Machine. Now I can't access my other internal and external drives. I get the following error: The folder “Capture Video” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents. I have repaired permissions pn the main harddrive. When I try too click on a disk I get the previously stated error. I can't even open up information to see what permission/access there is. It simply will not let me see the content. It shows the content of my main hard drive when I have clicked the other harddrive's name.

Solved:
sudo chflags 0 /Volumes/"FCP Time Machine BU"
sudo chown 0:80 /Volumes/"FCP Time Machine BU"
sudo chmod 775 /Volumes/"FCP Time Machine BU"
sudo chmod -N /Volumes/"FCP Time Machine BU"

My time machine backup disc has apps from Mountain Lion that won't open now that I have Yosemite. They all say need to be upgraded to Yosemite. Go to app store. But app store sees that I have yosemite so doesn't even show me an udate option. How can Update these files??

How do you know they won't run in Yosemite? You're not trying to fiddle with stuff in your backup from the Finder, are you? If so you are likely to render that backup unusable.
WHen when you restore them from your backup, they should be updateable.

My Macbook Pro was stolen, and I have replaced it with a Macbook Air. New hard drive is too small for a Time Machine restore. How do I restore my more-expensive apps (ie iWorks) on my new Macbook without repurchasing them?

My Macbook Pro was recently stolen, and I have replaced it with a Macbook Air. I attempted to simply do a restore from the Macbook Pro's Time Machine backup, but since the new Macbook Air's hard drive is significantly smaller, a Time Machine restore was not possible. I even tried to choose only settings or only my User Profile (option) when restoring, but the backup was still too large to do a restore onto the new machine. How do I restore my more-expensive apps (ie iWorks) onto my new Macbook without repurchasing them? Also, I reaad somewhere that if you went to the Mac App Store and attempted to repurchase the app and clicked BUY, it would simply alert you that you have already purchased the app (and trigger a re-download)... NOT THE CASE... So I just dropped another $19.99 for a second copy of Pages... Not my intention....
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

you should get a usb backup drive as well. time machine has limited use in my eyes. it saves things. but older things can be errased ad space drops without telling you
nothing beats data redundancy. 2 saves is. 1. and 1 is none
im personally not fond of time machne though i use it only for a recovery parameter for a mac
id never ever myself consider time machine a genuine data backup tool. though most do consider it as such
drive clones such as superduper and carbon copy cloner can clone your entire drive for emergency recovery. and you can boot from them as well o. another mac

Why did Mail do an upgrade/import after Time Machine restore?

I just did a full Time Machine restore of my Mac after a hard drive issue (Yosemite). Everything looks OK overall, but when I launched Mail.app, it did a full upgrade/import, as though I'd just upgraded from an earlier version and needed to update the database. Is that normal? Why is it necessary? Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
exclamation point when trying to view an individual image).
The exclamation point is an indication that iPhoto has lost the link/file path to the original file. Are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
Click to view full size
If you're running a "managed" library try the three fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in the User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select last three options.
Click to view full size
Fix #3
Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now?

Long story short....I restored my computer to an earlier point using time machine and now all of the previous back-ups are gone. My question has to do with itunes...is it possible to restore my itunes library to the most recent backup because the restore that I did was in march and the latest backup was in may....the reason being is that there were app that i had downloaded that are in my most recent back-up, that were not in the backup I restored to. Is it possible to just restore one application ie)itunes?

Missing apps after Time Machine restore after internal HD crash.

2 TB internal HD on 2011 iMac crashed. Apple store replaced hard drive. It took 25 hours to restore from the Time Machine backup. Immediately I noticed that many of the desktop icons were missing and were replaced by large question marks. These include App Store, Mail, Firefox, iTunes, iMovie, iDVD, Safari, Quicktime Player, Photo Booth, Garageband, and Facetime. When I select Software Update... I get no response. I have no install media as it all came installed on the iMac I bought last year. I am on Mountain Lion. I turned off Time Machine to not confuse matters more. thx

Was able to get Firefox from a locally networked old Powerbook. Connected to internet and downloaded iTunes 10.6.3. Bookmarks and all music seems to be ok. Now I just need a was to find which app is missing for "Software update..." and "App store...".

Have you updated your iTunes on your computer? WIth a device running iOS7, you need iTunes 11.
When you removed iTUnes, did you see something named 'apple mobile device support' or something like it? (The exact name varies from operating system to operating system). If you see that, uninstall it too. That's the drivers for your iPhone and they should self-install when you plug your device in.
If all that is fine, have you checked your cable and USB port? a malfunctioning cable can keep you from syncing.

Thanks for your reply! I must apologise for the quality of my post. I inadvertently posted it before it was corrected.
I am very disappointed with this iMac. It is only 18 months old and this will be the third visit to the workshop. I had expected more from Apple and from their repair agents. Luckily I have AppleCare.

First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.

My brand new back up drive is connected but now time machine has disappeared after working perfectly for a week. - no icon, not appearing as an option to save to - have rebooted everything a few times.

It's not clear whether you were able to do any backups to this drive at all. If not, it's probably not formatted properly. See #5 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions for instructions.
If you did get any successful backups, there may be a problem with the drive, or the backups may be corrupted. Try to repair the backups, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
