How can I restore files from /User/ohthatchris/Library ?

I've been having a bit of a saga with Time Machine, and I think I'm almost there but I need a tip or two.
I run TM on a Time Capsule, and have for some time.
I wanted to do some renovation when I updated my air to Mountain Lion, as follows:
Final BU with TM.
Copy of known important files to BU disk (Documents, Applications, etc)
Wipe HD and clean install of Mountain Lion.
Renamed computer (had the messy defaunt name Christophers-MacBook_Air...) and created (the only) user account with different name. These changes were for greater compatibility with my employer's network.
I then restored my important files and applications, and I was pleased that I've free'd up lots of space and I'm running well.
Restarted TM, and noticed that the sparsebundle was renamed with the new computer name, and the other name was not visible.
After a little while I noticed that I needed a few files from my old system, specifically my Chrome bookmarks and some recent notes from Notational Velocity. I knew these were in the old TM files, so I proceeded as follows:
created an account with the same name as my old, pre-Mountain Lion account.
In System Preferences > sharing I renamed the computer as before (Christophers-MacBook...).
Entered TM and there were my old backups! This looked great and I felt like I was home free, but no...
The files I need are in the /User/othatchris/Library/Application Support/.. directories. I can see the new ones in the terminal, but my backups in the TM finder-like window don't include the Library directory. Can I force it to be displayed? Is there some way to interact with the TM backups through the terminal?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Chris

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

HT4859 how can i restore files from backup after i reset my ipod touch?

I rebooted my ipod touch how can i restore my back up files

Welcome to the Apple community.
Rebooting your device is not the same as restoring it, to restore a device go to settings > general > reset > erase all contents and settings. Once you do this you will then be given the option to restore it from a backup or as a new iPod.

How can I restore files from empty trash?

Please someone help me! I deleted my IPHOTO LIBRARY by mistake, and then I pressed " empty trash". Is it even possible for me to recover deleted itens from the trash? I live in Brazil and the closest Apple Store is 5 hours from home. I am not that comfortable with any support companies trying to fix my computer and I can't set up Time Machine alone.
Any tips?

I have heard of it, I know nothig about it, Data Rescue is the one I see recommended the most. I had to use Data Rescue once many years ago on a family members machine and recovered quite a bit, but it was a purchased version.
Try the Wondershare and see if it finds anything (what have you got to lose? as of now you have already lost data) I would try the trial version and see if it recovers anything before thinking about buying the full package.If it does not recover anything then I would not buy it. Maybe then you might try the Data Rescue 3 trial and seee if that recovers anything.
As for Time Machine back up, you REALLY want to have that on an external drive.You can partition your internal drive for a Time Machine back up, but what happens if the internal drive crashes,? Then you have nothing. With an external Time Machine drive you can replace the broken drive and then restore the data.
I have 2 back ups 1 Time Machine, and 1 Carbon Copy Clone (the CCC can be booted from, so if my internal drive goes down, I can still start up from the clone. Drives are fairly inexpensive these days, data can be pricless.
It is not a question of if my drive will crash, it is a question of when, all drives will fail at some point.
By the way, your english is quite good.
I hope this helps and you get your photos back, I would be very sad if I lost all of mine.
Best of luck

How can I recover files from an iPod Touch (4th gen) prior to a required restore?

How can I recover files from an iPod Touch (4th gen) prior to a required restore?
The iPod Touch was working perfectly fine. iTunes suggest that I update the iPod Touch to the latest operating software, and I proceeded to do so. Then a message popped up stating that the iPod Touch needs to be fully restored - and that all data will be lost. The iPod Touch now displays the 'plug into iTunes' screen, and is stuck there. There are irreplaceable family momentos on the iPod Touch. How can I recover files from an iPod Touch prior to a required restore? HELP...

Your only hope is to contact a data recovery company. When it shows the connect to iTunes screen the iPod is essentially deleted.
You can restore from an existing backup

Welcome to the forum: please read the FAQ and forum sticky threads (if you haven't done so already), and update your profile with a real handle instead of "940509".
When you have a problem you'll get a faster, more effective response by including as much relevant information as possible upfront. This should include:
<li>Full APEX version
<li>Full DB/version/edition/host OS
<li>Web server architecture (EPG, OHS or APEX listener/host OS)
<li>Browser(s) and version(s) used
<li>Theme
<li>Template(s)
<li>Region/item type(s) (making particular distinction as to whether a "report" is a standard report, an interactive report, or in fact an "updateable report" (i.e. a tabular form)
With APEX we're also fortunate to have a great resource in apex.oracle.com where we can reproduce and share problems. Reproducing things there is the best way to troubleshoot most issues, especially those relating to layout and visual formatting. If you expect a detailed answer then it's appropriate for you to take on a significant part of the effort by getting as far as possible with an example of the problem on apex.oracle.com before asking for assistance with specific issues, which we can then see at first hand.
how can save pdf file from apex to user local directory on button click?As Tony points out the ability to do so would represent a major security breach. The normal approach is to present the user with a download link that when clicked prompts them with a Save dialog in which they can select a location for the downloaded file.

How can I transfer files from one external HD (WD My Passport) to another external HD (Seagate Backup Plus)? WD drive was improperly ejected and Finder no longer recognizes it. Tried fixing with Disk Utility but failed.

How can I transfer files from one external HD (WD My Passport 2T) to another external HD (Seagate Backup Plus 2T)? WD drive was improperly ejected (although we did tell it to eject) and now Finder no longer recognizes it. Using MacBook Pro and I just upgraded to Yosemite before this happened. Was told at Apple Store to use Disk Utility to repartition, but it failed. It says to backup files and restore. But how do I backup files? Or would appreciate any other suggestions to repair drive.

You may drag & drop between external hds.
Should you run into trouble.
Take the exernal drive appart. Take out the harddrive. Try reading the data via a usb adapter. Put a household finan on the hd.

How can i get input from user in Workflows

Hello professionals,
I'm new to SAP B1 Workflow, i have created some workflows and they all worked fine.
But, I am wondering, How can i get input from user?. For example, i want to display list of options to choose between them and route the workflow based on the selected option. I don't want to use the exclusive gateway and check for some conditions, i want to get input from user.
How can i do that?
Thanks in advance,

Can I restore files from a Snow Leopard

Can I restore files from a Snow Leopard Time Machine backup onto Lion?

Not really a reply, but I have the same question. I purchased a new iMac and installed Lion. I used the Migration Assistant to copy everything to the new machine, but I would like to have a backup copy in case something gets lost.
Why don't you just do a new backup?
Can I restore individual files from the Time Machine backup on Computer A running Snow Leopard to Computer B running Lion?
Yes, via #16 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. But the permissions from Computer A will be restored, too, so the user account you restore them to on computer B may or may not have permission to see or change them.
