How Do I use TM to find a file on my computers Idisk from today's backup?

Where do I find the file that is on my Idisk's Time Machine Backup that was on my laptop this morning when TM backed up????? My Idisk had a problem this morning and when I sought help, they had me hit the stop and restart the syncing. The problem is that even though there was a file on my Idisk on my computer from last night, the Idisk syncing reset every file from the mobileme cloud to my laptop and the file on my mobileme cloud was from 2 days ago. Not the updated one from last night. I teach and my attendance is all taken and stored on the Idisk (and synced) from all my classes. Wed & Thursday attendances were on my laptop correctly. (I know because I checked BEFORE they told me to restart the sync button on preferences. My laptop did its normal BU this morning so I am trying to find the excel attendance file on the backup. Can anyone help????????
I don't know why that happened but it did!!!
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Dear Thomas,
I entered TM and found the sparsebundle under the Filesync library. However, it appears NOT to be recoverable and I tried double clicking on it but it doesnt do anything other than show a summary of what it is.
By the way, I really do appreciate your comments and agree completely. Something strange happened with my syncing of Idisk (which is set to "automatic"). It has been working fine for years. But for some reason, it stopped two days ago and did not let me know. When I tried to put something manually on it (through drag/drop), it never showed up on the Idisk on the cloud which made me notice and check it out by going to Mobileme through the browser. I then went to the tech service for Idisk and they explained that something probably got corrupted so just hit STOP syncing and then hit Automatic again. Which is what I did. Then everything from the cloud went to my Idisk on my computer and for some reason, the latest version of my excel spread sheet for attendance showed two days ago, not last night. so I lost wed/thursday classes. I KNOW it was on my Laptop which is backed up to TM every morning.. Thats why I believe that the latest file IS on my TM backup for this morning. But I can't get to it. Any other help would be appreciated.

  • How do I use Spotlight to find the location of a document?

    Spotlight used to show the location of document when I hovered the mouse over an item in its list. It no longer does this. Now it tells me that a document exists and allows me to open the document, but doesn't tell me where to find the document. How do I use Spotlight to find the location of a document?

    Hi Thomas ...
    Open System Preferences > Spotlight then select the Search Results tab.
    Select the all the categories for the search results you want.
    Restart your Mac.
    If that didn't help the Spotlight preferences may be corrupted.
    Go to ~/LIbrary/Preferences
    Move the com.apple.spotlight.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
    Try Spotlight.

  • How do I use Migration Assistant to get my Mail and Keychain settings from

    How do I use Migration Assistant to get my Mail and Keychain settings from my Power Mac G5 2.3Ghz? I just purchased a new 2.5 MacBook Pro which will be delivered tomorrow, and I want to to know how to transfer Mail and Keychain?
    Thank You in advance for your reading and replying.
    Kindest Regards,
    Sebastian

    Rather than using Migration Assistant, which can cause trouble with the PPC to Intel change, simply boot the G5 in FireWire target disk mode and manually transfer the following:
    /Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
    You might want to look over Kappy's helpful guide for migrating, which covers the full process for a manual migration (including the above files).
    Hope this helps...

  • How can I use an American credit card to pay for a membership from outside the US?

    How can I use an American credit card to pay for a membership from outside the US? My payment page is set up for Japanese credit cards. I can't change to the US store, because the "Select a Store" page just jumps to the "Products" page.
    Has anyone else had this problem? Any help would be much appreciated!

    Hi Batt5721,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums.
    The address and the country on the Credit Card should match the billing address then only payment would be possible.

  • How can I use Applescript to copy a file's icon to the clipboard?

    Hello,
    How can I use Applescript to copy a file's icon to the clipboard?
    Thanks.
    Lennox

    there is no way to do that that I know of. but you can extract an icon of a file to another file using command line tool [osxutils|http://sourceforge.net/projects/osxutils]. you can then call the relevant command from apple script using "do shell script".

  • Using Terminal to Find Locked Files

    Hello all,
    I am a photographer and often use the locking feature on my camera to lock certain images, ones that are good shots.  With Windows, I was able to sort by whether a file was locked or not.  However I am finding that Mavericks does not have this feature.  Therefore I have resorted to using terminal to find locked files.  However I was wondering if I could get assistance in creating a script/command that would take the results of the files I found locked and either copy or move them into a subfolder.
    IE: I have an event folder called BRB-Team1VsTeam2.  I use the command "find . -flags uchg" to find the locked files.  What I need to do now is get the returned result and either copy or move into a subfolder called "locked".
    I tried "find . -flags uchg && cp /locked" but I know the logic isn't quite there but I haven't played with terminal too much to know what I am doing.
    So anyone have a solution to this?  Or know of an application to at least let me search/filter/sort by the file status (IE: Locked vs unlocked)?

    Here is the basic idea, adjust as necessary. The -d option limits the depth into the folder you are searching. You don't need it; I just added if you want to limit the depth into subfolders.
    find /search/path -d 1 -flags uchg -exec cp {} /destination/path \;
    You could roll this up in an Automator workflow, Service, or Folder Action if you want:
    By checking the "Show this action when the workflow runs" you can choose the destination folder at run time. If always the same, leave it unchecked.
    A Folder Action would work on the items added to a particular folder. The find command would have to be modified.
    A Service could be used to pick the source folder, or to add a shortcut command.

  • How can I using functions implicit in dll file in java code ?

    How can I using functions implicit in dll file in java code ?
    I'm developing a program that interfacing with fingerprint hardware.
    I have the finger print already, and I have to the SDK that have all functions for managing this fingerprint.
    These SDK functions are represented in dll files.
    I want to know how can I use these functions in java code .
    I looked on this link of sun forums :
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=305171&messageID=1215613
    but I don't Understand the meaning of native code.
    Thanks for help.

    please please please please please please please please help me:
    After reading a lot of articles, tutorials, and overviews about JNI (Java Native Interface)
    I found that these steps
    1.     Develop the Java code
    2.     Compile the Java code to a class file
    3.     Generate the header file
    4.     Implement the native method
    5.     Create the shared library or DLL
    6.     Run the Java program
    Is the common steps in JNI development
    The most powerful link was
    http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jni/html/start.html
    and
    http://www.netbeans.org/kb/55/beginning-jni-part2.html
    and the pdf oh this link
    http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/edu/j-dw-javajni-i.html requiring IBM registration to download it.
    But I have already the DLL, and want to the stright forward way to use its functions by java code only.
    I don not to write any C++ code .
    Is this possible???????????????????????????????
    The name of these dll is �zkemsdk.dll�
    It developed by ZKSOFTWARE company for managing a finger print �NP1500A�of

  • How do you use the windows User32.dll Library functions to read variables from other applications that are running

    I am trying to read a text box from a programme running at the same time as my Labview application using calls to the Windows
    User32.dll. I believe I need to find the window handle for the 'form' containing this text string and use this together with
    various other defined input variables to access the sting.
    I have no experience of using this 'Call Library Function Node', but have an understanding of the 'C' programming language. Does anyone have
    example Labview code showing how this might be done.
    Thanks

    If you're trying to access information that's being displayed in the window of another application and that application has no ActiveX interface, then yes, Windows calls can be used. There's a very good example on calling DLLs that ship with LabVIEW. Open the Example Finder (Help->Find Examples) and switch to the Search tab. Enter "Call" in the search box and open the VI "Call DLL". Run the VI, select any of the examples, and click the "Open Example VI..." button. That shows you how to call a DLL.
    Now, given that you have no experience in calling DLLs, have only an "understanding" of C (which to me means you have never written something like a DLL), and don't seem to know that much about what Windows functions you may need, you're going to find this route pretty difficult, especially since you have to deal with Windows API calls, which are not always that easy to do from LabVIEW.
    Let me propose an alternate solution. Go over to http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/ and download AutoIt. This is an automation tool that allows you to automate just about anything you want. It has an ActiveX interface that you can call from LabVIEW. I've attached an example VI that shows you how to use it to get the value of a text box from one of the tabs in the computer "System Properties" control panel applet.

  • Use Spotlight to find a file

    I can use Spotlight to find and open a file or document, but sometimes I want to see where on my hard drive a particular  file/document is.  When I was using Snow Leopard the path would be shown at the bottom of the window.  How do I find the path using Spotlight in Mavericks?

    Highlight the result in Spotlight, a preview appears, hold the command key down and the name will appear, continue to hold it and the path will appear.

  • How can I use regular expression to open files of certain types in java?

    Ok this is the problem I am facing:
    I have a command line input of something like "/usr/foo/bar/*.html"
    and there are multiple files in that folder that end with .html.
    How can I use the input to go through/open all the .html files in Java?
    Help would be greatly appreciated thanks!

    Or if you have to do it in java, check out the interfaces java.io.FileFilter and java.io.FileNameFilter
    http://home.tiscali.nl/~bmc88/java/sbook/0128.html
    class HTMLFilter implements FilenameFilter {
        public boolean accept(File dir, String name) {
