Help... I can't retrieve any of my files on time capsule!

When I logged on my mac pro and I could not view any of my files in my time capsule. I use Time machine to back up my files.    However I can still connect to the internet.

Just start with a reboot of the TC.. that is now required practice.

  • How can I copy programs (iWorks) and files from Time Capsule to my HD manually? The problem is that the migration assistant does not recognize my backup file and the user on the TC. (If I open the TC on finder, it it there though)

  • HELP!!! Can't retrieve my Home folder on my Time Capsule

    What a weekend...Firstly got a good dose of the flu and then my MBP Crashed into oblivion!! I hope it didnt catch something from me!
    Anyway I did a rebuild on Saturday night and on Sunday morning I decided to go to my Time Capsule that has always made me feel reassured to know I'm All backed up when I noticed there is no home folder with my personal settings and documents in the user folder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I am stuffed I cant get my emails (entourage), documents etc etc... Now given I am new to OSX but however not stupid, is there a way I can get back my data???
    Any help would be gratefully appreciated!!

    Have you set a specific folder? - Normally it's your desktop.
    For example: /Users/name/Desktop/D.Loads (default ends @ Desktop)
    I set a specific folder on the desktop.
    You can use your browser to find the path.
    In FFox. > prefs. its under "Main".
    @ save files to __________________ ( choose)
    Most other browsers its usually in a equivalent location, general or main.
    Hope that helps, ::tonyd::

  • Can't access files in Time Capsule in WIN7 64 Bit- says folder is empty

    Hi there. I can't seem to access my files in Time Capsule using WIN7 64 BIT, it works fine as a router , i can see the time capsule online and how much space it's occupied, however whenever i click on it , it says folder it empty. I can access the files from OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard).
    I tried to drag and drop new files into the Time Capsule in WIN7 , it copies/paste the files fine for a second and then disappear, and if i go back to the Snow Leopard i can see those folders again , so i am guessing i need enable some kind access/ file sharing option or whatever that allows the files to be visible. Has anyone faced this situation in WIN7 64 BIT ?
    Thanks

  • HELP! Can I retrieve my previous session? I only just ticked the "open with previous session" preference but it seems too late! Can I still get the old pages/tabs I had open?

    That could be a problem, unfortunately.
    But most likely the pages you were on are stored in the History list. Try pressing Cmd+Shift+H to get the History window.
    To help prevent this from happening to you again in the future, I can recommend the extension [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2324/ Session Manager]. It is quite powerful but may not be able to help you any more than the History at this point.
    Please let us know how above works out, and if we can be of further assistance. Detailed feedback is appreciated and helps us to help more users with similar problems.

  • How do I get rid of the Microsoft Setup Assistant loop? I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word, and stuck in a loop?

    I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word (for 2008), and stuck in a loop?
    Whenever I select Word Microsoft Setup Assistant appears, asks for feedback, then after selecting okay (both on saying yes or no to feedback) goes on to a registration page. When I click on this it says I've already registered so I just click okay, and then move on to a update page. After this, if I click on Word, the process repeats itself.
    As I said, I don't have the disk to reinstall, and can't find the Office Settings to delete as many pages have suggested I should try. Safe Boot restarting also hasn't worked... Really stuck and need Word very soon for work.
    If you can help, that would be great, and feel free to ask any questions about the situation as I'm not an expert here.
    Cheers,
    Jack

    First, export your contact from iCloud.com and save them on your computer in a safe spot some where (like you desktop).  Use this to help you do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606
    Next, on both of your devices, go to Settings > iCloud and turn on contacts and select Merge. Then turn off contacts and select 'Delete form my [device]' when prompted.
    Now go back to iCloud.com and select a contact (yes they will all be messed up again) and select Command+A on a Mac or Control+A on a PC to select all of the contacts.  Tap the delete key on your keyboard (or right click /control click a contact and select delete).
    You iPhone, iPad and iCloud.com should not be empty for contacts.
    Go back to Settings > iCloud on both devices and turn on contacts again (you should not see merge this time).
    Next, go back to iCloud.com and import your contacts (those exported .vcards).  You can either drag and drop them into the empty contacts list in your web browser, or you can use the gear icon to import.
    You cleaned up contacts should import correctly into iCloud.com and sync to both of your devices.
    Good luck.

  • Hello all.   Hope someone can help me. I recently downloaded some  updates for my imac.  Since doing this the computer starts up but I get no logon box.  The home screen opens but I can't open any programs or files. I've tried rebooting, no joy. Help!!

    Hello all..   I hope someone here can help.  I recently downloaded some updates to my imac.  Since then the computer starts but I get the home screen opening without the logon box.    I can't open any programs or files and if I click on the Safari tab it disappears from the dock.  I've tried rebooting with no joy.
    I contacted technical help at Apple and was told to hold down the ctrl and alt keys with two other keys, I think the S or P keys when powering up. This worked
    and the computer seemed fine but now the problem has reappeared.  Is there a way to removed downloaded updates from the computer or revert it to an earlier state?   Sorry for the long question. Hopefully one of you clever people can help.   Simon

  • Help, I can't sync any music to my iPhone 5s or iPad 2 ! :( it says it's finished sync but the music is greyed out and not on my devices.. I've tried unchecking the music and doing it manually. Nothing works. I took it to Apple store Robina no help..

    So I have found a common denominator to this phenomenon. After having the same problem, I started to recopy my playlist of 500+ songs in groups of 10-20, 30+, 75+, and then over a 100+. Any music I have purchased from iTunes won't copy, but everything else did. Unsure if I made a playlist called "Purchased" at some point or this is an iTunes default, I also noticed it had some of the songs contained in my other playlist and was showing on my iPhone. Regardless of what I did such as dragging music from that playlist to the other and clearing songs from that playlist, I removed it altogether from the iPhone itself vs. doing through iTunes. After that, music copied fine to my playlist.
    So, my theory is that iTunes is getting tripped up on purchased tracks already showing on the phone and all songs are showing grayed out/dotted circle because iTunes can't resolve the conflict with purchased tracks.
    Hope this makes sense and is helpful.

  • HT1751 After "Restoring iTunes Library Backup" it wont link to the files in the iTunes folder. I've followed the correct procedure, and iTunes lists all my music correctly (but with no artwork), but can't locate any of the files. Using Windows 7. Help ple

    After "Restoring iTunes Library backup" it wont link to the files in the iTunes folder. I've followed the procedure as described, and the iTunes folder is in the correct location. iTunes lists all my music correctly (albeit with no artwork), but can't locate any of the files.
    I've been restoring my iTunes folder from a backup hard drive to a new computer on which I've downloaded the latest iTunes (10.7). If this is a newer version than the one I backed up with could this be the problem? (I had the latest (to my knowledge) iTunes when I backed up the folder about 3 weeks ago, was this version 10.7?)
    Or is the version of iTunes (within recent updates) not an issue when restoring a library?
    Using Windows 7.
    Any help please?

    From the top of the page where the scripts live...
    The general method of use is to download the script to a folder of your choice, e.g. your Desktop, Downloads folder or create a folder at ...\iTunes\Scripts. Select a playlist or highlight some tracks in iTunes and then double-click on the script to execute it. If no specific tracks are selected the script will try to work with all tracks in the current playlist. Some scripts offer a choice of track by track confirmation of changes or fully automatic processing of the selection. Many of the scripts can optionally display a progress bar while running.
    You are strongly advised to backup your entire library, or at the very least the iTunes Library.itl file, before use. Test the behaviour of your chosen script on a small group of files first to make sure it does what you want before applying it to large numbers of files.
    Most builds of Windows will execute *.vbs scripts when you double-click them. If that doesn't happen then you might need to visit the Add/Remove Programs or Programs & Features control panel to enable the Windows Scripting Host. I can track down details if you have issues.
    Backing up and restoring data is an area that is often glossed over. Most people don't try to learn much about it until they've lost something important. (Me too )
    If your iTunes library was in the usual layout then normally copying the whole iTunes folder from the User's Music folder in the old computer to the User's Music folder in the new one will usually work fine. Ideally this is done before iTunes is installed so that there is no empty library to replace, and all settings are picked up from the old library. This post contains more details.

  • Help! Can anyone offer any advice re color settings?

    Hi all, I just don't know where to begin! Take a look at the screenshots attached.
    The two images look completely different. Photoshop CS5 renders the image entirely differently. I now notice that in my old copy of CS3 the image renders way closer to what I see in ACDSee AND in Lightroom. I have NEVER managed to even begin to understand this stuff. There's the monitors, the computer, Photoshop, Lightroom and ACDSee and they all have to interract with one another and... help! Is ACDSee almost accurate? How can I make CS5 look like the images I see in Lightroom and ACDSee? Should I? Then there's the printer I use online to consider. HELP! Can anyone offer any help? All the options under color settings both on CS3 and CS5 are identical and I even tried saving the ones from CS3 and loading them into CS5, just in case, to no avail.
    Can anyone offer any help? I also uploaded screenshots of the different settings in ACDSee and in CS5 and CS3 in case that helps. Is it something to do with the Proof Setup settings? They are both set to Working CMYK. Oh, my aching head!
    Thanks a lot for any help anyone can offer!
    Phil

    Thanks. I think I DO understand the basics of color management. I have attempted to callibrate my monitors many times and even paid someone to do it once all to no avail. I end up with washed out renderings which are different on each of my monitors and look NOTHING like the prints I get. All I'm trying to ascertain is why CS5 would render so entirely differently than ACDSee, Lightroom and even CS3. Even XPlorer2 agrees with everything other than CS5! And yet all the settings in CS5 SEEM to be the same as in CS3 so what else could be causing the washed out look? I'm also noticing CS5 is sometimes showing things marginally out of focus compared to other apps but I won't even get ionto that!
    Thanks, and if anyone else has any thoughts on why this would be I'd appreciate it.

  • My Macbook Pro can't find any of my files!

    Hi there,
    Since yesterday, my Mac suddenly can't find any of my files anymore. All the folders are there, but all the files are missing. There are 2 big question marks on the top of the finder window and when I click on them it says that files cannot be found. I have no clue what to do now. The only thing I did before this happened, was deleting my downloads folder, but nothing more. It's weird that all the folders are visible but the content not. Anyone experienced this too? What can one do in a case like this?
    Thank you for any help!
    Raphaela

    Did you run a disk check on it? You might have data corruption. The big question mark on the top of the finder window, I believe is a short cut, not the actual file. Did the actual file move? Did you rename the file? Did you change anything, like your username? Did KIDS use your machine? KIDS can do some silly stuff to your computer without even realizing it. I know this option may sound OFF BASE, but do you have a faulty trackpad, or use excessive hand lotion? (I have seen both of these cause undesired file moves, renames, etc...)
    I would run a disk check, and if available, use Disk Warrior, Drive Genius or similar to rebuild the directory.
    If that does not help, I would search for the file using Spotlight, or a 3rd party app like Find Any File.
