How far back does Time Machine back up?

How far back does Time Machine back up? Thanks.

Thanks Kappy and Tech Guy. I'll try and digest that info--it may take awhile!
Just for info, I am using a Lacie d2 500 GB, presently it has used 263 of the 500.
It is presently backed up until January 2010 which must be the date I hooked into Time Machine. I have a 1TB iOmega which I am thinking of using for the back up drive but feel the Lacie may be the better of the two so may leave it on.
Thanks again. Cheers.

How far back does spotlight go to search sms.

Does anyone know how far back spotlight will search for sms? Does it find sms from 6 or 7 months ago or does it only show more recent and if so any idea how recent. Does this differ in older phones or older IOS's.

Seems so, per my post at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2044448&tstart=0. Can't believe such a f*up.

How far back does history go in safari?

I found something inappropriate on my ipod touch which my young daughter was looking at in safari. When I look at history, it only goes back as far as yesterday. Does that mean someone has cleared the history?

That isn't documented anywhere that I can see, but the history on my iPhone goes back much further than one day.
If there is a ton of entries for yesterday, Safari may have removed some of the older history items. It likely has a fixed limit for the space it can use.
You can always restrict access to Safari on the iPod touch, see this Apple doc -> iOS: Understanding Restrictions (Parental Controls)

How far back does the safari history go

I need to go back to some sites I was working on over a year ago as I have lost my filofax with all my information in. would it possible to find them as I can only seem to view up to 1 year ago

The amount of history Safari keeps is determined by the setting in the General tab of its preferences. If a backup of Safari's History file exists, it may contain older entries.

How far back does a car loan show?

I got repo'd back in 1976, and bailed on a lemon in the middle '90's. Simply put, are auto loans ALWAYS there for lenders to see or find?

No. Negative information stays on your reports for 7 years plus 180 days. Positive trade lines will report for 10 years from the date the loan was closed/paid. You will be more than fine to apply and not worry about either of those past instances.Not exactly. It depends on what type of negative it is. For example late payments can report no longer than seven years from date of occurrence. Collections and charge offs can report no longer than 7.5 years from the DoFD (Date of First Delinquency) on the OC (Original Creditor) account that led to the collection or CO. Chapter 7 bankruptcies will report for 10 years. There is no one set time frame for negatives to stop reporting.

How long does apple keep messages in imessage?

Hello,
Can any one tell me how long does Apple keep messages sent via iMessage in the iCloud (or anywhere else)?
Thanks

So forceful! You have a source for that subpoena and a date I suppose? My Google-Fu must be weak because I couldn't find such a subpoena on the net.
By the way, that answer isn't a "no." "As long as necessary" can be along time since Apple cannot determine when you've read it everywhere you want to and so it's OK to delete.
I was able to pull iMessages from old deleted message threads on a new device. I also come home and sit at my Mac and my message conversation from the day on my iPhone becomes mirrored in iMessages on my computer, attachments and all, where I then copy the things I can't on the phone like ringtones and so on. Anyone can try this at home and I suggest you do. Where are these messages stored all day as I'm using my phone to be later mirrored on my home Mac?
I'm not seeing an error. I'm not just looking at unsent messages. Does it even matter anyway? Apple stores messages and their ToS states that they can do this, you agreed to it, and this policy can change at any time without your consent. Read it, thoroughly. I had to deconstruct it in a law class for a paper. I doubt you did this.
You are defensive but nobody is attacking Apple. Of course Apple stores messages for a long time. Why wouldn't they? Apple necessarily has access to the iMessage servers exactly the same as the servers that store your email or photo streams. There are legitimate business reasons! No one is saying they are abusing this access. This isn't even an issue but saying it doesn't happen betrays a lack of knowledge how this tech works.
If someone sent you a bunch of iMessages, maybe hundreds, and you haven't read them they aren't stored indefinitely until you read them on a device or on a Mac with your iCloud account? Can you say how long? No, you can't and neither can anyone outside of Apple and this is a changing number anyway.
You believe that once a message is sent that Apple immediately deletes it? Why would they when there's no requirement? You might check it from another device later on, Apple can't know if you've read it everywhere you want to. Syncing conversations across devices that are checked at different times requires some amount of storage of historical messages! Deleting a message immediately once sent would prevent this.
Do you thoroughly understand the technology involved? Do you have inside Apple knowledge of trade secrets?
I posted in this thread because I genuinely want to help the OP and you are speaking without evidence whereas my assertion is easily tested by the community in 10 minutes.

HT4910 does Apple keep a back-up of my emails?

someone/thing entered my icloud email account, sent SPAM to all my contacts and deleted all emails (received/sent/draft..) from my account.
do you know whether Apple keeps a backup of the emails or how I could recover them? thanks.

Thank you for your time Woody. Recently the Mac seems to freeze a lot, seemingly due to a problem with the airport, especially if the computer is inactive for anything more than a few minutes. Then yesterday I suddenly couldn't send or receive messages so I got in touch with my server and they reconfigured the mail account. I can now receive messages but can't send them, always getting a timed out message when I try to send an email. I phoned the server again and they said it must be a problem with Mail as we tried sending a message online from the server's webpage and it worked fine, so they suggested I reinstall Mail. So hence my original question. Sorry for the rambling! I'm not very computer minded.

How Far Back Oracle Keep AWR Reports

Hello,
A quick question:
Does anyone know how far back Oracle retain AWR reports in the database? Is this something that we can customize? If it is, can someone offer some insights?
Thanks!

The default settings for 'interval' and 'retention' are (60 min and 7 days respectively),
Sample modification using,
execute dbms_workload_repository.modify_snapshot_settings(interval => 120,retention => 20160);
the parameter value is in minutes.

Friend deleted app (my disk for iphone) and need to get back data from my icloud backup...need help!

     I had this app called my disk (app store name is: Lock photo+video safe - secure folder manager to protect private photos vault & hide secret picture file privacy) This app lets me have two passwords with different pictures and videos in each of them. It's a really great app.
     My friend deleted the app by "accident" and I need to get the app back with all my data. I have a backup of the app on my icloud backup that was taken place two months ago (around same time the app was deleted). It shows up in the cloud saying I have 4gb worth of that app in the cloud. I restore my phone back to that backup but the app data is not there. I wasn't sure if I had to wait till my iphone backs up everything (like music and pictures for example) for it to show up but as soon as the app downloaded I opened it hapilly knowing I have my data back but unfortunately it was not there. In the app itself, there's an option to backup from the cloud but it just brings up this window that says you can back up from the cloud (doesn't have a place to hit that says restore or anything).
     Is there something I am doing wrong? Can anyone help me? I really need that app data back because I have pictures of memories with friends and family inside that app that I do not have anywhere else. Once i get the back back ill be sure to save the photos onto my computer just incase anything goes wrong again.
Thanks everyone for the help!

fwiw
It seems that in a case like this you'd need to reset the device to factory settings and then restore from iCloud backup.
Sadly the reset to factory settings could cause more trouble than its worth.
Apple's iCloud backup, could, but does not let the user restore one app or its data.
You'll also find that even though that App's data is in the cloud, you as its owner do not have access to it.
Hope it helps/
