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.

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.

HT1911 how can you retrieve your passcode for your ipod if you have forgotten it?

how can you retrieve your passcode for your ipod touch if you have forgotten it and it became disabled?

You cannot retrieve it.
You can do as the manual tells you to do and restore the ipod.
If you are unable to restore, then type "unable to restore" into the search bar at the top of this page by Support and read the resulting help articles.

How can I retrieve a photo from Time Machine?

My husband needs pictures he had stored under his profile. I deleted everything due to space limits on the Macbook Air, but everything was backed up through Time Machine 1st. Now he needs those pictures and I cannot figure out how to find them and restore them to my computer. When I try, I get a message that says I don't have enough space to restore entire library. Please help. I just want to find the darn pictures that he needs and bring them back. I'm so confused and I want to go to sleep soon. Thanks!

Were his pictures in the iPhoto library?
If so, quit iPhoto, open the folder containing the iPhoto library, then open Time Machine.
If not, just open the folder where he had stored the photos, then open Time Machine.

We have a 3rd generation iPod nano which we have forgotten the password to. How do I reset it to factory settings so I can sync it with our iMac and iTunes?

How do I reset our iPod nano 3rd generation to factory specs so we can sync it to our iMac and iTunes? We have forgotten the password and have given up on the guessing game after too many attempts. I have been through the support, tried trouble shooting, but it doesn't seem to sink in... What is the "simple" way to get our nano back for a new set up?

I should add that I have tried the online on how to restore but it says it has to be through iTunes and iTunes doesn't even recognize the iPod at this point. The iPod is an iPod 2 classic I believe.

How can I enter data in an input schedule on a member in the EPM Add-On that is not a base member?

Hello, all,
how can I enter data in an input schedule on a member in the EPM Add-On that is not a base member?
E.g. I want to implement a top-down-planning scenario and I have the following hierarchy:
Europe
     Germany
     France
     UK
     Spain
     Italy
How can I enter a value on Europe in an input schedule in order to allocate this value afterwards?
Thanks in advance and best regards
Gerd

Gerd,
It should be something like below -
EuropeInput
Europe
     Germany
     France
     UK
     Spain
     Italy
EuropeInput shall be kept out of hierarchy and should be a base level member. Users will enter the numbers in this member. In your script logic, you will make use of this member to allocate the data in Bas(Europe) i.e. Germany, France, etc.
Effectively, after allocation the same data will be rolled up to Europe.
Many top-down planning would use such work-around as BPC doesn't allow writing to parent node.
Regards,
Ashish

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

HT201210 how can i retrieve texts from an earlier back up without changing all the other settings on my iphone?

how can i retrieve texts from an earlier back up without changing all the other settings on my iphone?

You can't. Restoring from a backup is all or none.
You can use a utility such as this one to extract the messages from the backup on your computer but you can't re-transfer the messages to the Messages app on your iPhone.

How can I remove an icloud email address if i have forgotten the password?

How can I remove an ICloud email address that's on my IPhone if I have forgotten the password? I have tried to reset the password through Apple ID but I no longer have access to the email address and its not recognising my birthday

If all you want is an additional email address you can create up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account.
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.
More information on aliases here:
http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
If you want to keep her email separate from yours she will need to create a new Apple ID, and use it to create a new iCloud account either on a separate computer or on a separate User Account on your Mac.

Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
 Cheers, Tom
