  • 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.

  • How retrieve data from Time Capsule if I buy a new Mac?

    I have new mac and I want to transfer ALL the data thats saved on my Time Capsule, how do I do this? Is it possible?

    Is the data stored on the Time Capsule from a Time Machine backup? If so, when you boot the new Mac it will ask you if you want to restore from a Time Machine backup. When you get to that point, select the Time Capsule.

  • How can I remove backup from time capsule?

    I have a new Imac and transferred my documents and settings via time capsule from my previous Imac to my new Imac.
    I have removed my account and data etc from my first Imac and gave this one to my daughter.
    When trying activate time capsule on my new Imac I can not make backups because there is not enough space.
    Also I can not make the machine understand that the backup on the time capsule is from the data on this new Imac.
    So my only option? Is to delete all the backups from my timecapsule and start new.
    How do I delete the backups from my timecapsule?

    If you want to completely erase the Time Capsule drive and start over.....
    Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
    Click the Disks icon
    Click the Disks tab just below the icon
    Click Erase
    The "Quick Erase" option will only take few moments

  • How can i retrieve bookmarks from time machine?

    Hello. I need major help. This past weekend, I had to wipe the HD on my Macbook Pro. I did have Time Machine backups at the time. Is there any way to retrieve my old Firefox bookmarks from Time Machine? Please help. I'm trying to recover more than two years of work. Please help! :-)

    You would have to find the previously used Firefox profile folder in the Time Machine backup.
    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    The profile folder consists of a part with a random name and a trailing file extension part that shows in the Profile Manager.
    You need to go one level up and locate that folder in the time machine backup.
    */Users/<user>/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/<profile>/
    Then you need to transfer the places.sqlite file to the current profile folder or possibly use a JSON backup to restore the bookmarks.
    Make sure to remove other possible places.sqlite files (places.sqlite-shm and places.sqlite-wal in particular).

  • How can I retrieve data from one table to another automatic in SQL?

    Hi, everione,
    I am having a big problem, trying to create datebase.
    I have 3 tables: SUPERAVATAR, MASTERAVATAR, MEGAAVATAR.
    - SuperAvatars are heroes in an online role playing gaming. They have an ID, ‘superavatarID’ which contain an UNIQUE NUMBER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY to identify them.
    A wisdom – ‘trickster’,’conjuror’,’magician’, etc..
    A current owner… who is the user or player of the game and has that Super Avatar– we associate the link to USERID to know the person.
    SuperAvatars can be fathers or mothers of Mega Avatars.
    -MegaAvatars are the children of SuperAvatars…. They also have an ID UNIQUE NUMBER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY to indentify them.
    A magic power – it can be a ‘Leader’ or ‘Sheep’…
    A ‘parent’ – parent is the number identifying to know to who Super Avatar belongs.
    e.g.
    SUPERAVAT WISD CURRENTOWNER FATHEROF MOTHEROF
    1 Thick 3 1
    2 Mentally Ch. 11 3
    3 Smart 9 2
    4 Genius 16 4
    5 Thick 19
    MEGAAVATARID MAGICPOWER PARENT
    1 MAGICIAN 1
    2 WIZARD 3
    3 SORCERER 2
    4 MAGICIAN 4
    -We see that MEGAAVATAR 1 has a magic power as Magician and his father is ‘1’. ‘1’ identifies the SUPERAVATAR.
    We see SUPERAVATARID…. who has the number ‘1’? the first in the row… who has wisdom – thick and he belongs to the USER with ID number 3.
    -We see MEGAAVATARID… we choose the number 2…. His magic power is as WIZARD… and his father is the number 3.
    We see SUPERAVATARID now… we look up the SuperavatarID 3…. We can see he has a wisdom – GENIUS… who belongs to the USERID 16 and he is father of MEGAAVATAR number 2.
    The list can carry on and never stop.
    I have this Problems:
    We create in this example 3 tables: Users, SuperAvatar, MegaAvatar
    SQL
    CREATE TABLE users(userID NUMBER CONSTRAINT pk_user PRIMARY KEY,email VARCHAR2(50) NOT NULL UNIQUE,password VARCHAR2(15) NOT NULL UNIQUE,subscription CHAR(8) NOT NULL CHECK (subscription IN('ACTIVE' , 'INACTIVE' ) ) );
    CREATE TABLE superavatar(superavatarID NUMBER CONSTRAINT pk_superavatar PRIMARY KEY, wisdom VARCHAR2(19) NOT NULL CHECK (wisdom IN ('THICK', 'MENTALLY CHALLENGED', 'AWAKE', 'SMART', 'GENIUS')), currentOwner NUMBER NOT NULL, fatherOf NUMBER,motherOf NUMBER);
    CREATE TABLE megaavatar (megaavatarID NUMBER CONSTRAINT pk_megaavatar PRIMARY KEY, magicPower VARCHAR2(12) NOT NULL CHECK (magicPower IN('TRICKSTER','CONJUROR','MAGICIAN','WIZARD','SORCERER')), parent NUMBER);
    Now, the 3 tables are created…..
    What happen when we try to insert values to this table?
    In this case we insert to User Table some examples:
    INSERT INTO users VALUES('3','[email protected]','great78','ACTIVE');
    INSERT INTO users VALUES('9','[email protected]','chrisandra)','ACTIVE');
    Now, we insert to SuperAvatar some examples;
    INSERT INTO superavatar VALUES('1','THICK','3','1','');
    INSERT INTO superavatar VALUES('3','SMART','9','3','');
    |
    |
    ‘9’ is the UserID that we already insert to the User table
    What’s the problem?
    We have to insert manually the data from USERID to CURRENTOWNER as we didn’t match or link CURRENTOWNER from SUPERAVATAR Table to USERID from USER Table with a SQL CODE.
    What happen if we have thousands of USERS that they register to this game…? We will never know to how belongs that SUPERAVATAR but if someone do it manually can spend a year.
    I am trying to fix this problem …. I add in SUPERAVATAR TABLE ‘CHECK’ in currentOwner..
    SQL> CREATE TABLE superavatar
    (superavatarID NUMBER CONSTRAINT pk_superavatar PRIMARY KEY, wisdom VARCHAR2(19) NOT NULL CHECK (wisdom IN ('THICK', 'MENTALLY CHALLENGED', 'AWAKE', 'SMART', 'GENIUS')),
    currentOwner NUMBER NOT NULL CHECK (currentOwner IN(SELECT userID FROM users)),
    fatherOf NUMBER,
    motherOf NUMBER);
    ERROR:
    ORA-02251: subquery not allowed here
    It doesn’t work.
    Please HELP, I have exam tomorrow
    thank you
    Desy

    Hallo,

    but i don't understand, how you join these tables ?

    You'll have to watch the video and buy a few tools to extract the driive.
    http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/
    Then use something like this to connect to the other Mac or PC with MacDrive installed.
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/U3NVSPATA/
    You also can get the same adapter elsewhere online for as low as $12 I've seen.
    Likely it's a USB 2,1 which your Mac's can only accept USB 2,1 anyway, no need to pay more for a USB 3 unless you want too.
    No compensation for site or product mention
    You likely should be having a professional or Apple tech attempt to bypass the firmware password if you forgot it, it's the best way to go about things.
    Just because the Mac has a spinning wheel gray screen at boot doesn't mean it's ruined, you just need to bypass the firmware password and then from there fix the machine's cause for not booting, which is likely a software issue from a third party kernel extension file.
    Step by Step to fix your Mac
    You should know that opening the iMac could likely ruin it and will ruin any warranty or AppleCare, and if it's a Early 2011 model or later you can't replace the hard drive yourself as Apple has proprietary software installed on the drive that needs to "talk" to OS X to control the fans speeds.
    Good Luck.

  • Retrieving data from time capsule

    I have a MacBook and an iMac that share a time capsule.  The MacBook hard drive just died.  How do I get the data to the iMac?  For example, my email was only accessed through the MacBook so it's not on the iMac.

    Are you saying you cannot access the Time Capsule's HDD? Or that you cannot access the Time Machine backups? Let's go through both scenarios:
    1. Connect TC via ethernet to the Air. Or log in via the wireless network with the correct network name, password and encryption.
    2. Ctrl-click the Time Machine icon on the Dock and select +Browse Other Time Machine disks+. Click on you TM backup now.
    Let us know if this works.

  • Can I Retrieve Files From Time Capsule?

    I had a MacBook Pro that was fully backed up to a Time Capsule. The laptop was stolen last week. I have some files (photos I wanted to use for holiday cards) I wanted to retrieve while I save up some money to buy a new MacBook. I have two powerbooks and was wondering if it is possible to connect them to Time Capsule to access those other files. They are 10.4 and don't have Time Machine. I suppose I could connect computer to Time Capsule using a USB cable and it would act like any other external hard drive?

    Ok. I just upgraded one of the powerbooks to Leopard. But still no luck accessing individual files... Migration assistant will transfer accounts. All I'm looking to do right now is transfer a few documents, photos, etc. Help!

  • How can I delete .sparsebundle  from Time Capsule?

    Hi, can anyone help me with my problem?
    I want to delete backup of my iMac from TimeCapsule to create a fresh new one.
    But it seems not so easy.
    I've turned off TimeMachine on iMac and tried to delete sparsebundle from TimeCapsule via Finder. Result is infinite waiting for removal in Finder dialog window.
    I've tried to select 'no backup disk' in TimeMachine preferences but got the same result.
    All software and firmware are updated to latest versions.
    I cannot erase the whole TimeCapsule drive as described in other posts here because I have a backup of my MacBook Pro on it and I need to keep it.
    Thank you for any help and information.

    Thank you Bob.
    Finally my old backup has been deleted.
    It seems I was waiting not enough.
    Anyway thanks for advice and care
    Now I'm waiting for my new backup to create.

  • How do i retrieve data from a powerbook whose screen lights up but displays nothing? I have a firewire and a second powerbook...

    how can I retrieve data from my old powerbook? It's screen lights up, but displays only pixelated blankness. I have a second powerbook and a firewire cable....

    It would probably be correct to assume that both PowerBook computers are equipped with FireWire. The article below could possibly be of interest to you. With a bit of luck, the old computer will be recognised.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
    Otherwise, it may become necessary to open the old PowerBook and remove the hard drive. The drive can then be connected to an appropriate external USB adapter, and read via another Mac.
