Find the time a drive was disconnected

This is not your usual case, but if there is an answer to it, this may help others. Recently I had an external drive stolen from my iMac running mountain lion. I was wondering if there is a terminal log, or something I can find that will show me the time that drive was disconnected. This will help me figure out when the theif was in my home and narrow in on the finding who it was. Yes, I believe it is someone I know. This is very important to me, and I hope there is something out there that can help me find the time this drive went offline or was disconnected. It was just removed (pulled out of the computer "disconnected"), and not ejected, so maybe there is a log of this somewhere..?
Thank you all for your help.

Use the Console application in Utilities and check the System log. This is the info from my machine for a disk just pulled and a correct unmount, the xxxxx just replace my machine name. Disk names may be different on your machine.
Sep 29 15:18:07 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx kernel[0]: disk1s2: media is not present.

Is it possible to find the time a website was visited in safari history?

Is it possible to find the time a website was visited in safari history?

How can I find the time a site was accessed in Safari's history?

I know that Safari's "History" list is in reverse order, that is, most recently visited sites at the top of the list. How can I find the time a particular site was visited?

As of Safari 5.1.7 there does not appear to be a way to view the time in the browser, but it is still possbile to find from the raw history file. Open /Users/[yourusername]/library/Safari/History.plist in a text editor. Depending on how your text editor reads the file, you may see a lot of garbled text, but you should still be able to find the URL that you want the time for. After the URL you may see the page's title, but should also see a left square bracket followed by numbers.
Example:
_?http://www.apple.com/_Apple[377832904.6o
The integer is an Apple timestamp (number of seconds since 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 2001). Find a timestamp calculator online to get the actual time for your timestamp. In the example above, Apple was visited on Dec 21 2012 at 17:35:04 PST.
Cheers.

I use my time capsule for wifi station and back up. However suddely time machien can no longer find the time captule drive , used for back up...

Time machiene can no longer find the back up files on my time captule..
I have have manged to see the files via finder.
dleted the files, and also gave time captule a new name, and pasword.
All seemd fine but somehow the new back up could not be finished.
Repeated all the steps, but now had the computer hooked up to the time captule with a network kabel ( make it go quicker..)
Still no succes...
Seems somhowe acces to the time captule is difficult for the time machien software...

You may find useful advice in this post.

hirogliffix,
take a look at this Apple page — in particular, the “Restoring data from Time Machine backups” section and its “Restoring your entire system from a backup” subsection.

What happens when the Time Machine drive is full?

I'm on my second iMac. My first one (G5, 1984) died, and I replaced it early 2010 with an Intel mac. The transition when exceedingly well largely due to Time Machine. I just hooked the Time Machine drive to the new system, and I was soon back up running!
My home folder has 70GB of data. The Macintosh drive has 105GB of data and 395GB free. The Time Machine drive has 220GB used and 30GB free.
1. What happens when the Time Machine drive is full?
2. Do I have control over what backups get deleted?
3. If lightning strikes twice, will I still be able to restore my Intel mac like my G5 mac, even if backups get deleted?
4. Is there anyway to control what backups/backup files get deleted?
5. Any other thoughts?
Thanks.

Do you mean all of them? The entire Backups.backupdb folder?
That's a large mess. First, even a normal delete will take a very long time, as there are probably hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of files. Your best bet by far is to simply erase them with Disk Utility -- that will only take a few moments. If your TM drive has a single partition, see #1 in [Formatting, Partitioning, Verifying, and Repairing Disks|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/DU.html]. If there are other partition(s) on the drive, see #2 there.
If not, and you only deleted some of the folders, you have a different, worse problem. Unfortunately, Apple doesn't do a very good job of warning folks: +*Never move, change, or delete anything in your backups via the Finder or Terminal.+*
You shouldn't have to delete backups at all, since Time Machine will do that automatically when the disk/partition gets full. But you can do it without harm via Time Machine. See #12 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
A normal delete will take a very long time, as there are probably tens or hundreds of thousands of items, each of which must be individually deleted. A secure delete will take much, much longer, as each deleted file must be overwritten with zeros.

I have set up Time Capsule to use with Time Machine but when I open Time Machine it 'cannot find' the Time Capsule and I have to 'Select the Disk' each time. In the Next Backup tab it always says "When disk is connected" even though the disk is already connected.

Your pro doesn't matter.. I presume it is happily working.
Your imac setup has got messed up because you changed from a local (my book being USB type I presume) to network drive. Did you do a clean install of Lion?
Did you use the backup from the Pro on the imac? Otherwise I don't see how the Pro shows up in use previous disk. Where is Pondini when you need him??
You cannot download Time Machine as an App and replace the current version. It is built into the OS.. the only way to do it is a clean install. Unfortunately that might be the only way around the issue.
There is a number of issues that Pondini has covered in the setup issues of troubleshooting.
This is the most relevant I think. http://pondini.org/TM/B6.html
But look at the whole section B setup problems.
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
If it was me, I would store all the info you need.. not using TM but using a straight copy of files.
Then clean install Lion. I doubt any of these issues would exist if you had not installed Lion over existing setup or used a different backup.
See if you can get Pondini to respond.. !!

Since I upgraded to Mavericks, Time Machine no longer finds the Time Capsule Disk on my network

Hi,
Since I upgraded to Mavericks, Time Machine no longer finds the Time Capsule Disk on my network.
Five minutes before upgrading it however performed successfully a last backup.
I found several posts on this forum and proposed solutions:
- restarted both the mac and capsule
- deleted the /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist (twice rebooting in between)
Still have the issue.

What brand of drive is it?

After a recover database, how can I find the time of the last transaction?

After doing a restore and recovery. Is there something in the data dictionary that I can query to find the time of the last applied transaction that took place during the recover process?
restore database ;
recover database ;
For example, if I restored from a full backup on 8/3/2008 with archive redologs, I know my last restored transaction is from sometime on that day, but I'd like a way to know the hour:minute:second of the last transaction included in the backup and redologs that was applied to my restore. Is that possible?
The recover database applies all available redo logs for that day, but I want to know if that includes transaction up to 6PM, or 11:50PM, etc?
Thanks,
Jason

If you did only a "recover database" that would have been a Complete Recovery to the last transaction -- ie the point when the database was shutdown.
For an Incomplete Recovery, you would have to note the Sequence#, SCN or Timestamp of the recovery point.

Help help please... I'm running Photoshop CS, on a Windows XP machine. After re-booting the machine after an unexpected power failure I have been told that the "Configuration appears to have changed since the time this product was activated. To continue using this product I must re-activate it". BUT the activation link informs me that they no longer support the product (neither online nor telephonically). So how can I re-activate this software?

Hello Helios & Eb29075,

HT201250 where can i find the time machine password

Where can i find the time machine password?

There is no such thing.
If you're backing-up to a network drive (Time Capsule, NAS, etc.), that drive may have a password.
If you're backing-up to an encrypted external HD, you'll need the encryption password.
Please clarify what version of OSX you're running (your profile says Leopard, but you've posted in the Lion forum), what you're backing-up to, and exactly what message you're getting and when (a screenshot would be fine).

To find the time required by the process chain to complete

Hi Experts,
I am calulating the average time required by the process chain to compete.
Is there any way to find the time required by the process chain to complete..
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ashwin

Hi,
There is a Tool provided by SAP to do the Process Chain Analysis.
It is basically a ABAP Program /SSA/BWT which provides the following BW Tools:
a)Process Chain Analysis : this tool is used to perform the Runtime analysis of the Process Chains. The analysis can be performed not only at Process Chain level but also at the Process Type level.
b)Detailed Request Analysis
c)Aggregate Toolset
d)Infoprovider BPPO Analysis
So you can go through the program and analyse the runtime of your Process Chains.
Regards,
Abhishek

. .....but i couldn't find the time capsule from airport utility..... why?

Are you using a new 802.11ac Time Capsule - the "tall" one - and are you still using Mac OS X 10.6.8?
You need OS X 10.7.5 "Lion" or later, or an iOS device, to configure an 802.11ac Time Capsule:

HT201250 i can't find the time machine icon on my dock?

I need to restore a file - can't find the time machine icon on my dock?

Is it in the Applications folder?
If so you can open it from there.
If it is you can get back on the Dock by dragging it there from the Applications folder again.
