  • How do I restore my calendars from Time Machine

    I accidentally wiped out all my calendars.  I use Time Machine for backup.  How do I go to Time Machine, find my calendars and restore them?

    Never mind.  I found out how to do it from a previous post.  Sorry.

  • How do I restore my calendars from time machine?  I'm in iCloud.

    I had been getting double entries on my calendar function on my macbook pro.  I went into the calendar tab and deleted one of the duplicate calendar sets, one by one.  But the resulted in the elmination of both sets of calendars, so it's now all blank.  It's also blank on my phone, my ipad, and my imac, as well as on icloud.com. 
    This happened yesterday and I restored the calendar by hand.  What gives?  How to fix?
    Thanks.

  • How do you restore iCal calendars in Time Machine

    I recently updated to iCloud from Mobile Me and when I opened iCal I noticed that the Mobile Me calendars and the iCloud Calendars were the same, so I deleted all my Mobile Me calendars and to my horror realized after reopening iCal that all the caledars were deleted in the iCloud calendar as well.
    How do I restore those calendars via Time Machine? I am running OS X Lion and although I have made the terminal change so I can see my user Library folder, within Time Machine it does not show up.
    Help!!

    Well, I guess they're not really ical backups, per se.
    When i went to migrate MobileMe to iCloud, it said "make sure you back up your calendars first" and I almost didn't do it because I figured I have TM if I need it, but decided just to be safe...
    so I did file>export>export for each calendar.
    Then after the migration seemed to go smoothly, I deleted them.
    Then got into this snafu.
    Fortunately, was able to TM back to the desktop from right before I erased them.
    so I restored them, then imported them one by one, and so far it looks like everything is good.  Knock on wood.
    It's still frightening to me though that an accidental deletion from the cloud turns into a day of screwing around to restore things!!  It shouldn't be that easy to just permanently erase so much important data. I shouldn't have to manually export all my calendars every day if I want a backup...

  • How do I view my calendar from time machine

    Hi
    I just upgraded to mountain lion and I think some of my ical calendar entries are missing. How do I view my previous ical entries in time machine. I'm looking to find a version of my calendar before I upgraded last week so I can compare the calendars. Is this possible? What do I do?
    thanks!

  • How do I restore printer preferences from time machine in Mountain Lion?

    Yesterday I deleted all the printers and and after reinstalling the printer drivers from the printer disc, the printer cannot find the software, so how do retore the printer preferences from time machine?

    The printer is a Samsung CLX-3180 series.  I have downloaded the printer drivers from Apple:
    Samsung Printer Drivers v2.5 for OS X
    Then when I go into System preferences to Add the Samsung printer, I get the following message:
    "Can't install the software for the Samsung CLX-3180 Series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."  Which I don't understand as i have downloaded the new drivers and the CLX-3180 is listed as a covered printer.

  • How do I restore my email from Time Machine?

    I bought a new iMac and did a complete restore from Time Machine but it brought over too many corrupt settings so I have started again. This time I have done a fresh install and want to just restore particular elements. I want to restore my iPhoto Library, Documents and email (with settings).
    Please can post what files I need to restore to recover all my email settings and mail.

    Yes, but as far as I can see it does not give me an option to restore mail. I simply get the option to restore say "Library" and I don't want to restore that as it is full old programmes and settings that I don't want.
    What I want to do is restore all my old email and email account settings. I would have thought someone would know how to do this it can only be a few directories.

  • How do i restore photo albums from time machine backups without duplicates?

    how do i restore photo albums without duplicates from time machine backups? thx

    Worth updating?  Totally a personal decision. For some it would be. For others it would not?
    Upgrading, if there are no problems, does not affect your data. And since bad things do happen you always have a good backup. Especially when doing any upgrade.
    Your password question has nothing to do with iPhoto. Try it in the OS forum

  • Restore MobileMe calendars from Time Machine

    The new MobileMe Calendar  and Time Machine don't play nice together. This Apple Tech Note says:
    'Important: Do not rely on traditional methods for backing up calendar data, such as exporting the iCal database, Time Machine, MobileMe Backup, or iTunes backups of iOS devices. Any changes to the data in the cloud will be more up-to-date than data in those backups and override a restore done from those backups.'
    So if you accidentally delete your calendars,  they are deleted on MobileMe: you restore the cached versions from TM, and MobileMe promptly brings them up to date by deleting them again.
    However it is possible to restore from Time Machine by following the following steps:
    Turn off your internet connection. Make sure that it really is completely off.
    Restore from Time Machine. This should restore your calendars to list under your MobileMe username.
    Now carry out this process with each calendar:
    Select a calendar listed under your MobileMe login name.
    From the File menu choose Export...>Export. An .ics file will be saved at your designated destination.
    Create a new calendar with the same name as the one you've just exported from, choosing 'On My Mac'.
    From the File menu choose Import... Select the .ics file and choose to import it into the calendar you just created (make sure you don't import it into the MobileMe version).
    Now your calendars are listed under 'On My Mac' as well as under your MobileMe login name.
    Reconnect to the internet. Your MobileMe calendars will disappear as before. Now carry out the following process with each of the 'On My Mac' calendars:
    Select your 'On My Mac' calendar. From the File menu choose 'Export...' then 'Export...'; from the sub-menu. This will create an .ics file at the location chosen in the Export dialog.
    From the File menu choose 'New Calendar' then your MobileMe login name in the sub menu.
    A new calendar called 'Untitled' will appear in your sidebar under your MobileMe login name. Change its name to that of the calendar you exported.
    From the File menu choose 'Import...' then 'Import...' from the sub-menu. A navigation pane will open: navigate to and choose your exported .ics file.
    iCal will ask you where to import this to. Click the drop-down menu and select the MobileMe version of your calendar (make sure not to choose the 'On My Mac' version). Import.
    Your calendar contents will appear in the MobileMe version of the calendar but this may take some time. You need to leave iCal running until the rotating icon at the top of the sidebar disappears.
    You can now delete the 'On My Mac' version of the calendar (control-click it in the sidebar list and choose 'Delete').
    You should back up your calendars periodically by exporting the .ics files as in step 1 above and keeping them safely.

    Kevin,
    Can I use Time Machine to go back and restore my old calendars so I can find that data that I lost!
    You may be able to find the individual events in Time Machine, but depending upon the number of "Files" in the "Events" folder, they may be difficult to identify.
    I don't want to replace the information in my Calendars, only look back at some old ones!
    The data will be located in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars folder, which (depending upon the number of calendars) will have corresponding folders with alpha/numeric names for each one of your calendars. Open the alpha/numeric folders and you will find an Info.plist file and an "Events" folder. You can use Text Edit to open the plist file, on your current calendars which will help you to identify/narrow down the correct calendar. The "Events" folder will contain separate event files for each event with icons that display the date of the event. It will help if you know the date of your lost event(s).
    Use Time Machine to recover the individual event. If/when you find the event(s) restore to your Desktop, double click the event and import it into iCal.
    Also, I did a Backup in iCal. Where are those files stored?
    If you did a backup using iCal, and do not remember where you specified for the backup, use Spotlight to identify where the backup file was placed. Use .icbu for the search term.
    Good Luck.

  • How do I restore RSS feeds from Time Machine (OS X Lion)

    I inadvertently deleted some messages from a RSS feed in Mail.
    It seems that they are located in /users/*username*/library/mail/v2/RSS.
    I entered Time Machine and navigated the this directory in a backup and selected 'Restore'.
    It seemed to work but when I went back into Mail, nothing had changed.
    I tried earlier backups but the same...
    Any one have any ideas how to accomplish this?
    Many thanks,
    Jeff

    Try with Mail open and active, then enter TM. You should be in the Mail window within TM. Select the RSS folder and back up in time until you see the messages. Then select the messages and hit Restore.

  • HT2477 HOW DO I RESTORE MY BOOKMARKS FROM TIME MACHINE

    I just got a new hard drive put into my macbook pro....im lost with this whole time machine thing. how do i restore my bookmarks and playlists?

    Do you only want to restore your bookmarks and playlists?
    Or, do you want to restore your entire user? When you installed and ran startup, it should have asked if you want to restore from a Time Machine backup. That would have been the simple way.
    The bookmarks are stored in your Library/Safari folder. In Finder, hold down the option key while selecting Library from the Go menu.
    Enter Time Machine.
    Navigate to the Safari folder and restore the bookmarks.plist file
    Then, navigate to your home folder, Music and restore the iTunes folder.
    You only mention playlists and not the actual music. If you've already imported your music, I'm not sure if restoring the playlists will actually work as they are indexed on the music files. If your music is stored someplace other than your iTunes folder, restoring the iTunes folder may work. You may also need to restore the com.apple.itunes.plist which is in your Library/Preferences.
