How do I restore my Logic to how I had it 24 hours ago and it is backed up in time machine?

I installed some loops and samples into logic 9 by dragging and dropping the folder into the logic interface. now my logic loop/libray bin is clutered and the loops do not work. I just want logic to look and behave like it did before I dragged these loops into it. I have backups via time machine. How do I restore to how it was before? when I launch logic and then time machine it jsut goes to the desktop view of time machine?

It's not the Logic app that you need to restore..
You could restore all the various files, caches and so on that have been changed by what you did but..
It's hard to know exactly what has been changed so....
It is simplier just to restore your entire System Drive..
Start Mac while holding down CMD + R
This boots your Mac up in Mountain Lion's Recovery Mode (You can release the keys when you see the Apple Symbol on the screen)
Select Restore From Time Machine Backup
Choose the HD where your backups reside
Choose the date of the backup from just prior to when you 'messed' things up..
Restore...
Be aware that you will lose everything you have created since that date as your Mac will look exactly as it did on the date of the backup.. so manually copy anything important that you created after that date (exluding anything stored in iCloud)  to a spare ext HD before doing this proceedure!

  • ITunes Sync deleted my Calendars. How do I restore them on Lion? Everything has changed. I can't find old iCal Calendars on Time Machine.

    My calendars on the iPhone did not syncronize with iCloud for other devices (iPad, Mac). So I tried to sync iPhone Calendars with iTunes where I got a warning of duplicate entries.
    After the sync my Mac calendars all were gone, on the iPhone, on the Mac. Only the Calendars on iCloud, which are not up to date (!!!) are still available. I tried to restore via TimeMachine but could not find the database for iCal. Everything seems to have changed in OX Lion. Very confusing. Any suggestions?

    Apple have hidden the user’s Library folder to casual viewers, in an attempt to stop new Mac users screwing their machines up. To access it, in the Finder go to the ‘Go’ menu and hold down the Option (Alt) key; the Library folder will appear as a choice. Navigate to the Calendars folder: back it up and then enter Time Machine to restore an earlier verions.
    However, the sync process will probably promptly delete the info, so you will need to go through the process detailed here:

    How can i restore my iphone which was erased by iCloud?? I got my phone back but it wont work when i connect to iTunes.

    The following assumes you've been backing up to icloud all along.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your device.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.
    Let us know if this method does not work.

  • Can I restore a iPhone back up from time machine and if so how?

    I have upgraded my iphone to IOS 7 this morning. However as I was backing up my phone, the cable I was using was removed from the macbook.
    I now have a iPhone back up that is corrupted, and when i try and restore my settings to the new IOS7 upgraded phone, it will not allow my old settings to be placed on the phone.
    I am therefore thinking of using an old back up from Time Machine, but do not know how to access itunes from time machine. Everytime I try and enter iTunes from my Time Machine vault it says Mac OSX requires the application and therefore cannot be restored.
    Please help or tell me what I should be doing instead.
    I have a feeling I will lose my app data and have to manually sort my home screens. Luckily all my contacts, emails, photos etc are synced to iCloud, but the back up of my iphone isn't as I don;t have the upgraded space on ICloud and have a iPhone thta has 16GB on it.
    Cheers in anticipation of your help

    Hi Lawrence. Thanks so much for that advice - I'm really grateful. I hope you don't mind me asking a couple more questions: I have found that folder via Finder - I clicked on Library then App Support then Mobile Sync and within that, there's a folder called Backup and within that, 4 files. I also tried accessing it via the Go/go to folder method you suggested (in case that revealed more which remain hidden unless I use your route) but I couldn't make that route work.
    I presume I'm looking at the correct files but please advise me if it's still possible that I'm not.
    I had already tried to look at these backup files in Time Machine. They appear to be backed up, going back a year. If I can restore one from yesterday, that should solve my problem. However I've looked through them randomly going back a month or more, and they all seem to have been created in 2013, and last modified then. Only one of the files has a more recent 'last modified' date. But surely Time Machine has captured each backup of the iPhone going back over time?   I'm baffled.
    I hope the above makes sense. I'd be really grateful for any further advice.

    When you restore from a Time Machine back up you can pick and chose what is restored. It is not an all or nothing process. Nor do you have to do the partial restores all at the same time. If days after the first partial restore you find something else you want you can restore just that.

  • How to restore particular pictures in iphoto backed up via time machine

    cant we open an app like iphoto via time machine for a particular date ??
    like i want a pic that i deleted from iphoto , how can i do that without restoring full iphoto library???

    As AnaMusic said, iPhoto library can't be opened via Time Machine to restore photos separately, so you will have to restore the whole iPhoto library.
    1. If you don't want to lose changes made after your last backup, copy the iPhoto library, that it's on Pictures folder, to another folder.
    2. Open Finder, select Pictures in the sidebar and open Time Machine.
    3. Navigate through the backups, select the iPhoto library you want to restore and press Restore.
    4. Double-click the iPhoto library to open it on iPhoto.
    5. Drag the photos you want to transfer to your "existing" iPhoto library to the Desktop. You can select more than one pressing Command key.
    6. Delete the "restored" iPhoto library on Pictures folder and copy the "existing" iPhoto library to Pictures folder again.
    7. Open iPhoto and drag the photos on the Desktop to iPhoto, so the photos will be on the iPhoto library.
    If you have any problem restoring the iPhoto library, see > http://pondini.org/TM/E9.html

  • How do I restore email and drafts from Apple Mail in Time Machine after account was deleted.

    My Apple Mail email account was deleted by a support person and I lost several hundred emails and close to 1100 drafts that I desperately need. I have been using an external drive for backing up in Time Machine. 
    I do not know how to get my emails and drafts out of Time Machine and onto my Apple drive.
    Any help would be appreciated  HUGELY!

    Command-R to the rescue.
    Just hold down Command-R during startup and Lion Recovery springs into action. It lets you choose from common utilities: You can run Disk Utility to check or repair your hard drive, erase your hard drive and reinstall a fresh copy of Lion, or restore your Mac from a Time Machine backup. You can even use Safari to get help from Apple Support online. And if Lion Recovery encounters problems, it will automatically connect to Apple over the Internet.
    When boot into Recovery and select item 1, you will be given a choice of a point to recover from.

  • How can I restore stickies which were not backed up on Time Machine?

    I accidently deleted some text on a stickie note.  That note was not backed up in Time Machine. That text is also gone from the Stickies Database.  Everything that I read online leads me to believe that I can find this deleted text in this file... com.apple.Stickies.plist.  Is that correct? 
    If so how do I retrieve this text?  Is there a tutorial somewhere?
    The notes online say that I can open the file in Omni Outliner and then use NVU to convert it to text.  How does that work?
    When I open the file in Omni Outliner, I get this...
    Now what do I do?  Any help, or suggestions on how to recover this data, either using the method described above or otherwise, would be helpful.
    Thank You.

    Take a look at Pondini's excellent Time Machine data ...

  • Backed up with Time Machine, reinstalled OS X, how do I import contacts?

    Hi all,
    I backed up my MacBook with Time Machine, and reinstalled OS X 10.5.5 on it, then upgraded to 10.5.8. How can I re-import all of my contacts back from the Time Machine backup?

    There is no AddressBook folder in the backup. There's an Application Data folder, but no AddressBook folder is inside of it.
    EDIT: Thank god! I misread the post, and now my addresses are all back! Thank you SOOO much. Definitely adding that link to my favorites. One more thing. It's not about contacts, but it's about the Time Machine backup. How can I get my applications back? I tried copying and pasting the Microsoft Office 2004 folder to my applications folder, and it worked, but when I tried to run it it gave me an error. When I edit again I will tell you what it says.
    Do you know what folders/files I need to copy for this?
    You can not restore applications like MS office by hand from TM backups. they restore stuff all over the system and you need to get all those files. you can only restore by hand applications that were installed by drag and drop. fro MS office and any other app that used an installer you need to either reinstall them from scratch or run Migration Assistant (located in /Applications/Utilities). it will let you migrate all your apps from the backup. you can not pick and choose which ones to migrate though. MA also lets you migrate all your users (with all their data) but you seem to have decided to recreate them all by hand so uncheck that option.

  • HT4500 how do I transfer files I backed up with Time Machine in an external disk  to a PC?

    I back up using Time Machine in an external hard drive in my Mac Air. I need to open those files in a PC, but I can't open the files. How do I open them from a PC?

    TimeMachine first saves a complete state of your Mac's boot drive, then it saves incremental updates consisting of changes and uses placeholders (file names with no content) for those files that didn't change between states.
    Now it will do this until there isn't enough room on the drive and then it starts deleting older states.
    So it does it like this so there isn't any duplicated files wasting precious drive space.
    Now what does that have to do with your problem? Well there is no TimeMachine software for PC's that can decode this mess and get to the files you want.
    However if you understand a bit more details about it, then you can perhaps recover your files.
    TimeMachine uses the same drive formatting as on a Mac, OS X Extended Journaled otherwise known as HFS+ or JHFS, and Windows PC's can't read that format natively.
    However there is third party software called MacDrive which you install into Windows that can read that drive format.
    The next trick, if it works, is to look a the TimeMachine folders and find your data, but have to recall when it was created as to go back into the correct folder or else you will find the empty placeholder with the same name and no data.
    Next if you can recover files, is being able to open those files in a compatible PC program, which a lot of Apple software and OS X based software might not have PC versions.
    Neutral formats like Mp3, jpg, .mov, .doc, .txt and so forth can be opened on other platforms using other programs, however the more platform or proprietary the files are in, then the harder it is to find a PC version that will work.
    What you can do is to use the TimeMachine drive on a temporary Mac (OSX version has to be same or later than on the TM one) and restore the users accounts/software to that Mac and then go about retrieving data or simplifying the data or transporting it into more neutral/cross platform formats.
    LibreOffice is excellent for this as it's the only Office suite that's cross platform with Linux, Windows and OS X, plus works with OfficeMac/Office Win files. So pasting into that will preserve a lot of formatting etc, that will be lost if you just pasted into txt format.
    I've been aiming to create a transition to Windows User Tip, perhaps one day I will.

    Yes, that's for network backups only. 
    What can I do to make sure that the backups are OK?
    You can tell if the File System (the various directories, catalogs etc.) is ok by repairing your backup drive, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
    You can "spot check" whether the Time Machine "Star Wars" display seems correct.
    You can do a full system restore to another disk per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions, then start up from it and see if things are there and seem to work.
    You can keep "secondary" backups (always a good idea).  See #27 in the FAQ post for some suggestions.
