How can I do to use (useful) Time Machine Buddy OUT of Dashboard ?

Hello dear friends,
How can I do to use (useful) Time Machine Buddy OUT of Dashboard ?
I know there must be a way to use it as an application.
I've noticed TinkerTool can do it, but how do you proceed ?
Does anybody have the solution ?
Thank you for responding
With my kind regards
Olivier Herrbach

Dear Dave Sawyer,
You're perfectly right, I posted the same question in two different topics.
I apologize for that, but I was thinking
that more people would respond if I used :
1) The "Time Machine" topic (it can also interest people to know there's a widget for T.M.) ;
— and there are other softwares that Pondini describes, like Backup Loupe) —
2) The "Using Snow Leopard" topic, because I was talking about ALL other widgets too.
In fact, I didn't know which one I had to choose for my question (?),
in the way that both topics were concerned.
I'll try in the future NOT to publish the SAME question in more than ONE place.
Thank you very much for your remark
With my kind regards
Olivier Herrbach

    I have bought a time capsule to use as time machine device. Until now I have used a external hard disk. How can I transfer the the old time machine datas to the time capsule?

    This is really difficult to the point of not really worth it.
    Keep the old TM backups in archive.. and start afresh on the TC.
    Time Machine has a different way of backing up on Network drives cf Local drives.
    Pondini does have a method to do it... but I would not recommend it.

  • How can I retrieve data on a time machine if I have forgotten the password?

    How can I retrieve data on a time machine if I have forgotten the password?

    There are so many passwords.. which one do you mean?
    TC password or disk password in the TC.. no problem.. soft reset.
    Or recover the password.. via the Tesserax method.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3372
    If you encrypted the backup in TM and have forgotten that password you are doomed.. there is no way to recover it I know of.. there is a warning.. very clear.. do not forget the password.

  • How can I make a backup without Time Machine?

    I'm finally upgrading to Mountain Lion, but my Seagate GoFlex harddrive isn't letting me backup via time machine.  do I have to reformat the harddrive to be used with time machine?  or is there an app I can download so I can get a clean install of OS X without having to loose any of my files or apps?

    The disk for Time Machine should be firmatted as HFS+
    If you want to do a backup so that you can do an erase & install, I suggest that you make a bootable clone with either CCC or SuperDuper.

  • How can I restore files from a time machine back-up of my iMac to an EXTERNAL hard drive connected to MacBook Pro. Using Migrat

    I would like to restore files from a time machine back-up of my iMac to an EXTERNAL hard drive connected to MacBook Pro. When I tried using Migration Assistant it only gives me my internal hard drive as an option to restore to. The internal hard drive on my macbook isnt large enough to store the files.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    OS X can only restore data to the drive where Time Machine backed up files from.
    If you want to restore files from the Time Machine backup onto an external drive, your only option is to access to the Time Machine drive manually (open a Finder window and choose your Time Machine drive in the Finder sidebar), navigate through its folders and copy the files you want to the external drive

  • I have reinstalled my OS without time machine (using the disc). I want to restore some pictures in the iPhotos which are already in the time machine i was using previously. How can I restore iPhoto from previous time machine?

    My mac book was incredibly slow. When I went to Mac store, they asked me to reinstall the OS with CD and not with the time machine. I reinstalled the operating system. But when I opened the applications, all those started as fresh applications as usual. I have the backup of all other data in another hard disc. But unfortunately, I forgot to copy the photos before reinstallation. I have those photos in my time machine back up. But when I opened time machine, it started like a fresh (very new) time machine and it started backing up my present OS (the reinstalled one). I cannot open the previous time machine, which is in the same hard drive. I wish to open the previous time machine to get the photos which are backed up previuosly. When opened the time machine disc (manually by clicking the icon), i can see all the thigs which I had previously in my macbook. But unfortunately, i cannot access those through time machine! Can anybody help me please?

  • How can I reinstall Garageband application from Time Machine

    I somehow LOST my GarageBand application. I can see it on my Time Machine but I don't know how to restore JUST that application. I still have my garage band files.

    Which version of mac os x does your new mac have?
    Actually photoshop elements 6 should work on modern intel macs.
    The only problem is that adobe doesn't have photoshop elements 6 installers available anymore, though there may be a chance to get the pse 6 installer if you bought pse 6 as a download from adobe
    and login to your adobe account using the same user id and password as you did back then.
    Otherwise hopefully you have the photoshop elements 6 install dvd.
    Photoshop elements 13 is the current version that adobe has for sale

  • How can i delete a 'backups' from time machine for a computer i no longer have

    i have been using my time capsule for a few years now, everything was great until my imac died and i had to replace it
    when i did, the time capsule worked perfectly, as it allowed me to "migrate" all my backed up data onto my new machine, joy
    but now, as it wants to start its backups of the new imac, there just isnt enough disk space on the drive, and i suspect this is due to every file on my new machine is marked as never have being backed up which means i need like 400G, and most of the time capsule's space is still consumed by the old backups
    how can i remove this old back up from the time capsule without reformatting the whole drive (i have other machines that are still using the backup service and i dont want that interrupted)
    it just seems like, since i am no longer on the old machine, i cant access that machine's backup in order to delete them (through the time machine interface), and i cant seem to find a single tutorial on how to do this that is written in non-programmer speak (i really dont feel comfortable cracking open terminal and command-lining this sort of thing)
    am i just nuts or is this really all that uncommon a problem with no easy solution?!?
    any advice is appreciated, thanks in advance

  • How can I back up stuff on Time Machine?

    The hard drive / start up disk on my macbook pro is almost full.  I have deleted as much as I can, and it's time to start storing stuff on an external hard drive.  I have a folder full of home videos, and I thought that would be the perfect thing to store on my time machine and delete from my computer.  I dragged one video to the time machine and then once it transfered I deleted it from the folder.  When I went to empty the trash, it wouldn't delete because it was "in use." 
    So, how do I transfer documents / photos / videos onto my time machine so that I can delete them from my computer?

    If u want to backup ur hard drive contents just follow this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427. Though as u said u want to back up just ur videos so do this. Format ur hard drive using disk utility to FAT32 then just copy ur files over

  • How can i find missing backup on Time Machine (for Mac)?, How can i find missing backup on Time Machine (for Mac)?

    I backed up my computer on August 8th 2010 with Time Machine. I'm absolutely certain I did. But some reason there's a gap. I have a backup of my computer from just before that date, and just after that date, but August 8th is missing.
    Is there any way to recover my files from this date? What's happening? It can't have started automatically deleting files because I have backups from as far back as June 2010 (when I started using time machine).
    Thank you

    See:
    A  whole  lot  about  Time  Machine for help with TM problems.  Also you can select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for "time machine" to locate articles on how to use TM.  See also Mac 101- Time Machine.

  • How can backup the old deta from time machine to OS X LION??

    Hi there,
    I was using MacPro with older snow leopard just now i install OS X LION,before install i backup all deta to time machines about 70GB,now when i connect i dont know how can backup the old deta to OS X LION,but it just backup the recent deta to time machine,pls guide me how i can backup my old deta to my computer??
    Will be much appreciated !!
    Thanks.

    Sorry, but your post is not clear.
    If all you did was upgrade to Lion, there's no reason to do anything.  All your data, etc., should still be on your Mac, just as it was before.
    Please clarify exactly what you did, and what the problem is.

  • How can i open iPhoto Library on Time Machine after full Backup?

    After i had a full backup to iomega external hard drive i wonted to see photos in iPhoto library by using Time Machine. I can see the iPhoto Library icon on
    Time Machine, but when i click on an icon it does not open the folder and i can't see the pictures stored on iomega external hard drive. All other backed up
    documents i can see and restore if i ineed it. Please help. Thank you.

    Thank You for your help. I did what you sugested and it works. Only one more question. Just to make sure.
    When you wrote:  "Control-Click the iPhoto Library icon and choose Show Package Contents there will be a Masters folder with you photos inside."
    Under Master folder did you mean LibraryiPhoto or something else?
    Thank You

  • How can i extract just documents from time machine backup?

    How can I extract just my documents from a time machine backup?   I had to re-install Lion after the update screwed things up, the Genius Bar guy told me to re-install each App, and then transfer just my data (documents) back but didn't tell me how.   I only see how you can restore the entire snapshot of what was on my MacBook that day, I don't see how to select specifics. 

    Hi,
    Install a fresh Lion OS on your Mac. After this is done, then connect your time capsule. Click on the time machine icon in the dock bar so you will enter in time machine. Select the document folder and any document or all you need. The same thing you can do with iPhoto, Emails, etc.
    Let me know

  • How can I restore my old iTunes Time Machine backup after upgrading to Mavericks?

    I previously had Snow Leopard, and am wondering how I can simply restore ONLY my iTunes library from my Time Machine backup, last made only a few days ago when I had Snow Leopard. However, I seem to be unable to access anything backed up before I installed Mavericks. Any help would be great, because I'd hate to have to struggle to locate 160GB of music manually.
    Many thanks!

    Your choice really. Either way will work. Retaining the older backups gives you a way to restore older files. When I upgrade from 10.8 to 10.9, the backups continued without errors. Depending on what you upgraded from, in 10.8/9 you have the option to backup to 2 separate drives thus giving you some protection in case one drive fails. You can either copy the old backup to a new drive (Disk Utility/Restore seems to work best) or start a new one.

  • HT201250 How can I find a file on Time Machine.

    The file was on my Desktop at one time but has been deleted. Typing it's name in the TM Spotlight field and clicking the Back Button (per the TM tutorial) doesn't work. Has anyone found a specific file on Time Machins that is no longer on the Mac?

    First of all, I don't work for Apple and neither do most people who post here. This is primarily a user community.
    The documentation is correct, even if you didn't have any success. I prefer to use mende1's suggestion, so I don't use Spotlight in Time Machine.
    I understand you are frustrated, as I would be if it didn't work. Computer frustration isn’t one of my favorite pastimes.
    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.
