How to restore files from Carbonite

My computer crashed and I had to reinstall my software. I previously had not backed things up on Mozbackup, but Carbonite backed my files up. now, can you tell me the procedure to restore my addresses and other files from carbonite's backup?

You'll need to restore the Thunderbird profile from the backup.
Check this article for more information on the profile location for MacOS.

How exactly this is done with Carbonite I have no idea.

How to restore files from Time Machine after Clean Install of Mavericks

How to restore files from Time Machine after Clean Install of Mavericks. I know the data is there but seems unaccessable because I may have changed the Computer or Owner name. Is there any way to fix that now?

Hi Linc,
my back-up data is managed by Time Machine; the actual data is on a second internal Hard Drive with a capacity of 1TB - not partitioned. I am using Time Machine and have access to all data backed up since Mavericks Clean Install but not the data prior to this date.
When I open the 1TB drive in Finder I can see a folder "Backups.backupdb/Sigi's Mac Pro/ followed by many folders of backup dates going back to 2010-09-20-103441 and up to 2014-02-07-142414 all followed with folder Macintosh HD. February 7th 2014 was the date of the clean install.
These Backups are followed by backup date folder 2014-02-08-075554 with a subfolder of MacPro-320GB (this is the name I assigned to my Boot Drive during formatting; I suspect I should have assigned the same name as before ie. Macintosh HD) and 2014-02-11 with a subfolder Macintosh HD, these are the ones I get access to by way of Time Machine > Restore.
Weird thing is on Febr 11 when I relised my possible mistake and renamed the Bootdrive back to what it was initially ie. Macintosh HD despite this I have access to all backup data since the Clean Install in both folders MacPro-320GB as well as Macintosh HD but not to any data prior to the Clean Install.
Is there something that Time Machine knows and prevents access or is it simply a matter of renaming the subfolder 2014-02-08-07554/MacPro-320GB to ........./Macintosh HD?
I like to restore selectively and not everything - It was hard work reinstalling apps that were supposed to be the troublemakers (ref my discussion on Maverick problems) but I now need to get onto data specific to some of these apps as well as other data I may have missed. Long story? Yes and sorry.

How to restore files from a backup in windows 8.1

Hello
I did a Factory Image reset recently on my Windows 8.1 PC. I did a backup to an external drive of all my personal files before I did the Factory Image reset.
This backup is listed on the external hard drive as: "Backup files 2014-07-06"
THe properties of this is 322 GB -   765 files   - 17 folders.
THis cannot be all my files UNLESS they were compressed.
The reason i say this is that also on my extrenal hard drive is "Filehistory"
THe properties on FileHistory are: 1.45 TB   - 59,580 files - 765 folders.
I need to restore these files back to my C: drive
I am not confident that the Filehistory has all my files, BUT, since the Backup files 2014-07-06 is so much smaller
than my Filehistory , I do not know what to think.
I have attempted to restore the files from the Backup files 2014-07-06 but get errors that I do not have security clearance. I am the only user on this PC.
I am not very confident that everything is contained on the "FileHistroy" , but I don't really know.
Does anyone have experience with "Backup files' and "Filehistory" that can help me?
thank you!

Hello,
The backup file must have become inaccessible. I am not sure about the error message but it can because of virus infection in your PC that your files must have got damaged. If you are not able to restore backup file from File History, tehn you may try backup recvery software to recover data from it. Try this Windows backup recovery sofwtare - http://goo.gl/kYPP6J
It might help you.
Thanks.

How to restore files from Adobe Reader for iOS (iPad)?

I started using Adobe Reader for iOS to annote and comment pdf files. I used the Adobe Reader for Mac OS to upload the files to the Acrobat.com cloud.
Opening the files on iPad worked pretty straight forward and I started editing the pdf right away. When opening the pdf again a couple of days later on iPad, the app downloaded the pdf again in an older version with a couple of annotations present, but a couple of the more recent missing. This is a very disturbing behaviour since I cannot understand why it would sync an older version of the pdf from the cloud over the newer one. Luckily, this was no very important edit, but I will be very hesitant to use this feature in the future if there is a likelyhood for this happening again. Is there any possibility to recover the file with the original edits from the iPad?
The second thing that I don't understand is the mismatch of files shown in the adobe creative cloud and on acrobat.com when using the acrobat reader. 2 of the files I uploaded can be seen in both the adobe creative cloud and in the 'acrobat.com' cloud (is that a different thing?) as can be accessed from adobe reader on Mac OS. However, there are also files that can be accessed exclusively from the adobe creative cloud and files that can be accessed exclusively from the 'acrobat.com' cloud. I don't really understand the difference and how to sync the two.
Help is highly appreciated. Thanks!

AnAppleADay,
I personally agree that having two separate Adobe cloud storage services (Acrobat.com and Creative Cloud) is confusing and undesirable. However, I am not able to speculate on Adobe products or services in future releases.
There is no direct way to download files on Acrobat.com to your iPad/iPhone. However, you can download files from Acrobat.com via the web browser interface (https://cloud.acrobat.com/files) on your Windows or Mac desktop/laptop computer.
Then you can (a) email them to yourself and open them in Adobe Reader on your iPad, which results in storing the files locally on your iPad, or (b) use the desktop version of iTunes to transfer the files from your computer to your iPad. (It's convoluted. But I am not aware of any other options.) However, if you uninstall Adobe Reader for iOS, the operating system will erase all of associated application data including locally stored PDF documents.
I suspect that your problem is related to changes not being saved to Acrobat.com properly (not about syncing to an older version). When you make a lot of changes to a PDF document (e.g adding annotations or filling out forms), I'd recommend closing the modified PDF document occasionally, which forces Adobe Reader to save the changes to Acrobat.com. You will have less chance of losing changes due to unexpected problems or defects in Adobe Reader.
Please let us know if you know the steps to reproduce the problem (of losing changes) with a particular file on Acrobat.com. We can investigate the problem.
Thank you.

How to Restore Files From Backup HD/Time Machine

I want to restore data from external HD, which backed up with Time Machine, onto new internal HD. If I restore from date prior to 10.6.1 upgrade (which resulted in HD failure) will I be restoring from 10.5? Do I install Leopard on new HD first? Both internal and external HDs corrupted by upgrade but professional diagnostics indicate data on external HD can be accessed.

Could you explain a little more about what you meant by this? The update to 10.6.1 should not corrupt an otherwise OK HD. It is probably worth the effort to try to figure out what caused this in case it is something that would continue to affect the HD's after the restore.

How to restore files from Trash

Hi all,
Somehow there does not seem to be a "restore button" in my trash. I can copy my files manually from the trash to another folder, but I will have to remember which folder that was. How can I restore the file to it's original location automatically?
I could swear that the restore button was once there. Or am I confusing OS X with XP?
Thanks for your help.
Kind regards, Hans.

If you press COMMAND-Z (Undo) immediately after placing a file into the Trash, then the file will be returned to its original location. However, the undo function is only applicable to the item most immediately placed in the Trash, otherwise it will not work, nor will it work for items placed there previously. In effect it's a one-time deal.
There are some third-party utilities that may add more to the undo Trash functionality, and you can look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

How to restore files from an erased hard drive?

hi
I recently got infected with a trojan, and after updating my mac was told ive also picked up malware software.
I moved everything i needed to my hard drive and wiped and reloaded my mac. i then checked my time machine backups on my hard drive and found the malware files on the time machine backups too. so i took what i needed off my hard drive and wiped that, but without realising have deleted my uni work folder containing my essays.....
Is there anyway to recover the files? ive tried using a couple of programmes online but there only trials, so when i find the file i cant restore it.

Are there any free data recovery softwares availible? ive tried about 4 that say theyre free and that can find the files im looking for but i cant recover it without paying?
If not whats the cheapest that you can reccomend?
Also i dont think the file is availible on my Mac book anymore but i can find it on the hard drive i had it stored on. is the last section the one to use for recovering from hard drives?

HT3275 How do I find/restore files from items in secure home folder? How do I find/restore files that crashed when in finder of secure (File Vault) home folder?

How do I find/restore files from items in secure (File Vault) home folder? How do I find/restore files that crashed when in finder of secure (File Vault) home folder? When I go into Time Machine, I see earlier dates but can't see files in my User File. I have File Vault turned on and see my home folder as a sparsebundle. Do I neede to restore this in order to see files in my home folder. When I click on it to restore it gives me an estimated time of over 2 hours. Also tried to restore an Excel file I was working on when computer hung, so lost it without saving or naming it. Does it exist anyplace and can I restore it?

Thanks. I had pretty much figured out from other posts that I had better turn off File Vault for my home folder and use a disk utility sparse bundel for little information I wanted to secure. The information about File Vault 2 in Lion was new and useful though.

How can I restore files from a time machine back-up of my iMac to an EXTERNAL hard drive connected to MacBook Pro. Using Migrat

I would like to restore files from a time machine back-up of my iMac to an EXTERNAL hard drive connected to MacBook Pro. When I tried using Migration Assistant it only gives me my internal hard drive as an option to restore to. The internal hard drive on my macbook isnt large enough to store the files.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
OS X can only restore data to the drive where Time Machine backed up files from.
If you want to restore files from the Time Machine backup onto an external drive, your only option is to access to the Time Machine drive manually (open a Finder window and choose your Time Machine drive in the Finder sidebar), navigate through its folders and copy the files you want to the external drive
