Finding deleted photo in time capsule

Is it easier finding a deleted photo in time capsule using aperture, than iphoto?
Considering buying aperture

Aperture and iPhoto are sharing exactly the same format for the photo library. To restore deleted photos from a Time Machine backup you will need to restore the iPhoto library or Aperture library. That is the same for both applications.

  • Find deleted Notes in time capsule?

    I deleted the iPhone Notes which appeared in my Mail inbox.  As they contained senstive information, I then deleted them from Trash.  After syncing the iPhone I realised the consequences - no Notes anywhere.  Is there any way I can retrieve them from my time capsule?  I have searched and searched but cannot see them.  Any ideas?

    No. Aperture works just ltke iPhoto as far as trying to go back and find photos that were deleted.
    You must go back in time to the point where the photos were still on your computer and then restore the entire iPhoto library as a separate library, keeping your current library as well. Then, open iPhoto using the "restored" library, browse to find the photos that you want and export them to the desktop.
    Then, open iPhoto again using your current library, and import the photos from the desktop back into the current library.  When you are sure that you have everything back in the current library, you can delete the old library and that you restored, and the exported items on the desktop since you no longer need these copies.

  • Migration Assistant can not find my backups on Time Capsule

    Yesterday I installed a fresh copy of OS X leopard and wanted to recover data from time capsule using migration assistant,the first time that I connected to TC using migration assistant it found everything on my TC and was calculation the size of that account there but suddenly it went away and now when I connect to time capsule it says (migration assistant) that there is 0 backup found. I can myself recover some data from time capsule which I stored just as a disk drive which means that the hard drive of TC is working , the sparsebundle is even there . but no result.
    Even when I want to go to time machine with the icon in menu bar it takes too much time says; connecting to server but nothing happens !
    Please help all the data from years ago are there !!
    null

    For backups on a Time Capsule, you may have to mount the sparsebundle first.
    Open Finder. Click on Time Capsule -> Time Capsule Disk -> yourbackup.sparsebundle. Double-click on it and press Skip when prompted. Your sparsebundle should now be mounted on your Desktop.
    Try to +Browse Other Time Machine disks+ via the ctrl-click on the TM icon.

  • Deleting files on laptop = deleted files on time capsule?

    My Mac Book Pro has a 250G hard drive and my time capsule has a 500G hard drive. My laptop's hard drive is almost full, and I was wondering if I deleted some files from my laptop, would time capsule still keep them? I know it means only one copy therefore not truly "backed-up" but I would only delete less important files, such as old documents from school that I would like to keep on the time capsule but wouldn't be too upset if lost. Considering that my time capsule is twice as large as my laptop's hard drive, I would like to keep some files there and be able to delete them off my laptop to make more room on my laptop. Can this be done, or will deleting the files on my laptop automatically cause those files to be deleted on the time capsule the next time it backs-up? Thank you for your time!

    So its is my understanding that time capsule will not start deleting old back-ups until its full and needs to make space for new backups?
    Not entirely. It routinely "thins" backups according to the schedule on the Preferences window. The first backup of the day is kept for at least a month; all others are deleted after 24 hours. After a month, it keeps one per week.
    So if you delete something that's only been on your Mac for a few hours, the backup may be gone in as little as 24 hours; if it was there for less than a week, the backup may be gone after a month.
    Plus, there are many, many threads in this and the Time Machine forums where Time Machine had to do a very large or full backup unexpectedly, and had to delete many old backups to make room.
    If you value your files, don't do that -- you're playing with fire.
    Your best bet is to get a larger internal HD, so there's room for everything.
    Second best is, get an external HD for the "overflow," and let Time Machine back up both your internal HD and the "overflow" drive.
    Third best is to "archive" some data, to CDs/DVDs or a portable external HD. If you use CDs or DVDs, make two copies, and store at least one in a dry place out of the sun (and one off-site, such as your safe deposit box). Every year or so, read them back in and re-copy them, as they don't last forever (especially the --cheap-- inexpensive ones).

  • Can't find European land in Time Capsule setting

    I have purchased TM from USA and can't find European land in Time Capsule setting.

    Apple sells products that have been "regionalized" for different parts of the world.  North America, South America, Europe, Southeast Asia, etc, for example.
    It is not possible to change a Time Capsule from one region to another. The reason for this is that different regions have different wireless standards and regulations. See this link for all the details:
    List of WLAN channels - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    A Time Capsule purchased in the USA will operate from 100-240 Volts and 50/60 Hz automatically, so power wise, it will work just about anywhere in the world if you have the right kind of AC wall socket adapter. (A power transformer or converter is not needed).
    But, you will have to be careful about using higher 5 GHz wireless channels on the USA Time Capsule while in Europe, since the use of higher 5 GHz channels is not legal in most European countries at this time.  In other words, keep the 5 GHz channel on the USA Time Capsule at Channel 36, 40, 44 or 48.

  • External USB-hdd not recognised by Finder if connected to Time Capsule

    Hello!
    I'd like to connect a small external harddrive (40 GB) to my Time Capsule (1 TB) via USB.
    I've read on http://www.apple.com/timecapsule/wireless.html the followings:
    "... +And if you want to share both a printer and an additional hard drive, you can. Just connect a USB hub to Time Capsule.+ ..."
    While I've connected two printers to Time Capsule - so I already use a USB hub - I've tried with the external USB-harddrive, but it wasn't recognised neither by the Finder, nor by the DiskUtility-app. The external USB-harddrive appears not even if I connect it directly to the Time Capsule!
    Restarting the Time Capsule / USB-hub / external USB-harddrive / my Mac doesn't change anything
    The external USB-harddrive appears only in the AirPort-utility app (5.4.2) in "manual Config" - "Devices", but even here only as a possible archiving device for the internal Time Capsule harddrive.
    The USB-harddrive itself is formated as Mac OS extended (journaled) and it works like it should on my iMac (3.06 GHz, Mac OS X 10.5.7).
    Do you have any idea why the external USB-harddrive doesn't appear when connected to the Time Capsule?
    Thanks!
    Regards,
    Vlad

    Vlad, this might help...
    *Accessing External Hard Disk*
    Open a Finder window
    Select the Time Capsule in the Sidebar on the left.
    Click "Connect As..." in the upper right of the window.
    Enter the Name of your Time Capsule & its' password (Note: NOT your own Username & password).
    Check "Remember password in my Keychain."
    You should now see a blue share folder with the name of your Time Capsule.
    Any hard disks attached to the Time Capsule’s USB port will also appear here as blue share folders. To mount them on your desktop double-clicking their blue folders. If you had a separate password setup for those disks in Airport Utility then enter that password if asked. Otherwise, it should now mount on your desktop.
    Let us know if this solves your issue. If, however, the drive is not showing up either on the Desktop or the Sidebar, you may still need to do the following...
    *On Desktop*
    In the Finder, go to the Finder menu and select "Preferences".
    Click “General” in the toolbar.
    Ensure that all the items under "Show these items on the desktop" are checked.
    Close the preference window.
    *In Finder SideBar*
    In the Finder, go to the Finder menu and select "Preferences".
    Click “SideBar” in the toolbar.
    Ensure that all the items under "Devices" & “Shared” are checked.
    Close the preference window.
    Did this resolve the issue?
    As for Disk Utility, bear in mind that DU won't "see" network attached storage devices unless they are already mounted on the Desktop. And even then they are sometimes not "seen" by DU. If you are going to do any work on a network attached storage device avoid attempting to do it wirelessly. Best to connect it directly to the Mac (USB/Firewire), or at the very least via ethernet.
    Hope this helps. Cheers!

  • HT5022 How to share my photos from time capsule external drive over the internet.

    I saw some article that, i can share my photos from time capsule drive over the internet. Also, heard it can be done through manual configuration of time capsule. Firstly, i do not see such option in my time capsule configuration. I did a factory reset assuming, i might have configured through auto mode for the first time (that could be the reason why i don't see manual option). Now, i don't know, how can i share my images over the internet frome time capsule drive, without using my mac book system up and running all the time.. I wanted to create a secured user id/password to let the other users to access my network share drive. Is that possible?

  • Deleted files from Time Capsule by mistake. How can i recover them?

    I was using DiskTracker to organize the contents of Time Capsule. I deleted some folders from within DiskTracker unaware that this would delete files from Time Capsule itself.
    I have several recovery software but none of them is able to see Time Capsule, as it is connected through my Lan. I have a lot of valuable data and i would appreciate any suggestion or help on recovering these folders. Please note that i have not written or deleted any files since the accident.

    I have the same issue and am about to make another post ... Have you head anything or gotten any tips?

  • Unable to delete files from Time Capsule disk

    A while back I copied my user folder from my iMac on to my Time Capsule disk, which is mounted as a drive on my iMac's desktop. I now want to delete that copy. After some struggling with locked files I have managed to get it so that all I have left is a small hierarchy of folders containing no files. When I try to delete any of these folders, though, I get the error message: "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items." Info says that I have read & write privileges to every folder in the hierachy.
    Can anyone suggest a way that I can get rid of these few remaining folders? They are really bugging me!

    Some of you are going to love this!!
    Ok, after talking with someone at Apple, I was reminded of a simple Unix Command to do the job, even on Time Capsule. Here's what worked for me:
    Time Capsule is connected to my Mac, via an Ethernet cable-- I don't know if this matters or not, maybe it will work over the wireless connection too, let me know!
    You'll need to pull up Terminal in Applications > Utilities. It's a dangerous tool that Unix and Linux people use with skill all the time, but you have to be careful, cause it will cause permanent changes-- that is what I want here, of course. Just be extremely careful, ok? You have been warned.
    type "cd /Volumes"
    press Return
    Now you're in the "Volumes" folder
    type "ls" (as in the letter L)
    press Return
    You should see your Time Capsule folder (whatever you named it)-- type "cd " and that particular name
    Navigate till you can type "ls" and you can see the folder you are trying to delete.
    Then, the command that worked for me is this:
    (Please double check that "myFolderToDelete" is indeed the one that you want to delete!)
    sudo rm -rfd myFolderIWantToDelete
    After a few seconds for the hard drive in the time capsule to spin up, it worked! Yea!
    In fact, to be safe, if I were you, I would even go into Finder first and try to rename that folder, call it "myFolderToDelete" !!!
    Why didn't I try this before? I've used Terminal, I should have thought of it before! bad nerd!
    But the important thing is, problem solved .
    A few things to note is that I was trying to delete a folder full of "Locked" files. If I wanted to delete several locked files that are not currently in a folder, I could make a new folder, and drag those files into it... now you have a folder you can delete. Just rename it "toBeDeleted" or something like that.
    Finally, note that I am not currently using Time Machine (the automated backup program) with this Time Capsule, so I don't know if it will delete the Time Machine backup -- haven't tried that yet.
    Good Luck!

  • How can I restore photos from Time Capsule/Machine w/o getting lots of duplicates?

    Hi All,
    I recently "lost" some photos and tried going into Time Capsule/Machine to restore them.  I went to applications, opened Time Machine, got the "Star Wars" like screen, scrolled to the appropriate date (I thought), clicked on that date, went to my user name, clicked on Pictures and then clicked on iPhoto Library.  It asked me if I wanted to create a copy called iPhoto Library2 and I said yes. 
    Next I clicked on restore and it began restoring my iPhoto Library from that day.  Unfortunately it created copy after copy after copy of each photo, hundreds!!  And it broke down each photo into faces. Again and again and again. Bottom line is that since I must have picked the wrong date my pics weren't there.
    I decided to delete iPhoto Library 2 and there were some 130,000 items to delete.  Then it took about 24 hours to secure empty my trash.
    So my question is how can I avoid this next time?  I really want to get these photos back but am afraid to try it again.
    Thanks in advance for any advice!  They are of my 19 year old niece's visit to Australia so the pressure is on!
    Kindest regards,
    Becky

    You might post this query on the iPhoto forum and perhaps someone there can provide an answer.
    I tried this on my MBP and it seems that you have to restore the entire iPhoto Library.  What I did was put the current library in a separate folder on the desktop and then I restored the library from a prior date.  If you were to do that, you then could extract the desired photos and then delete the restored library.  Then place the current library back to the original location and import the desired photos.
    Not tidy but it seems it will work.
    Ciao.

  • Retrieve deleted files from Time Capsule

    We've got the Time Capsule and I tried to set up user accounts with password for the File Sharing. There's a pop-up window that said something like 'any existing files in the time capsule would be deleted/inaccesible'. I clicked "OK".
    The thing is my brother's files were already in the Time Capsule and he didn't have any backup. So the original files were the ones in the Time Capsule. I thought he would have other backup such as in the Time Machine but even when we open his Time Machine it says "the storage location for the Time Machine cannot be found".
    Now he needs the files and I'm clueless as to how to get the files back. Please HELP!

    you have wiped the time cpasule drive and your only hope now is data recovery software like [data rescue II|http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php] or [file salvage|http://subrosasoft.com/OSXSoftware/index.php?mainpage=product_info&productsid=1]. I don't know how well they are going to work with a time capsule though so you are going to have to find that out.

  • Lost photos in Time Capsule

    I have a Time Machine backup on an Apple Time Capsule (the flat white one), and there are a few photos I simply cannot find!!!  I've been through the various photo folders and photo library. Where else can I look? They are photos of a family dog in his puppy years!!
    Thanks

    Does the library open and there are no photos in it?  If so, iPhoto may have just created a new library after encountering a problem with the original one. You can check by holding down the option key when launching iPhoto. If there is more than one library, check each one for the missing images. (You may also want to check the Pictures folder and the trash for any other libraries)
    If you are sure the library that you are opening is the original and should contain the photos, check the file size of the library. If it's in the GBs than chances are rebuilding the library will recover them (Hold command and option while opening iPhoto, then select the option from the menu)

  • Finding password email in time capsule backup file

    My iMac died last week and is in the Apple shop getting a new logic board and hard drive.
    In the meantime, there is a web site that I want to access, but I don't have the password. My iMac always recalls the file when I used to log in from there.
    I've used the "Back-in-Time" application to access some files from my Time Capsule while using my laptop. Is there a way to find a web site password? (I've already tried the 'forgot your password' link, and for some reason it did not send the password to me).
    I also know I have an email in Apple Mail with the password on it. They sent it to me when I originally joined the site. Is there a way to search for specific emails from "Back-in-Time"?

    Can I use it as storage (iTunes library, iPhoto pictures, iMovie stuff...) directly from iMac ? Is it visible as a normal network drive where I can store files ?
    Yes, but as Bob says, your best bet will be to create one or more +disk images+ (via Disk Utility, in your Applications/Utilities folder) for that data.
    The reason for this is, Time Machine is designed to use all the space available to it for backups; once it's full, TM begins deleting the oldest backup(s) when it needs room for new ones.
    Thus making +disk image(s)+ will reserve a certain amount of space that Time Machine can't fill.
    Also, be sure you have other backups of any data you put there. When the TC's disk fails (and all disk drives fail, sooner or later), you may lose anything on it.
