How to see all back ups on Airport Time Machine?

I have lots of backups on an external HD.
Looking for a folder/file is easy because I can see all backuped folders and files in the folder set up I have decided upon.
I would like to see all my folders and files as these have backed up on Airport Time Machine. I just want to see these folders and files like this is the case on my external HD.
They must be placed somewhere on Time Machine.
How can I see these?
I am not really interested in going into Time Machine Backups on a date related basis, but on a folder related basis.

Unfortunately, Time Machine is not really interested in working this way. Apple takes the word "Time" in Time Machine seriously.
The best that you will be able to do is navigate to find a folder that you want on your Mac
Then, open Time Machine and use the timeline to see different versions of that folder

How to recover old Back ups made with time machine?

After a recovery with time machine to a very early back up, it completly deleted my old back ups from my back up drive? I had almost everything there. how can i get it back? is there any way?

Hi Patsmith7,
i think I understand what you're asking. You'd like to move the current Time Machine backup to a new HD so that it will never be written over as you continue to use the current HD where the data resides. If that is correct, then just follow the below link which will show you a very simple way of accomplishing this.
If you only want to move a specific date then you will have to follow the same instructions in the link but click on the drop down arrow on the current backup which will show you each instance (date) of the backups. Grab the date that you're interested in and complete the move as instructed in the link to the new HD.

Good Luck and let me know if you have any other questions.

How do I delete from my HD local back-ups made by Time Machine?

Disk Utility shows I only have 102 GB Available space free on my 750GB HD.
About this Mac there are 240GB used for Backups (presumably made locally by Time Machine)
How can I delete these backups to free more available space (currently <15%)?
This article describes the issue but has no info how to get rid of it!!

About this Mac Storag & Disk Utility show only 102GB free.
That makes sense -- the difference is 240 GB, just what Storage shows for Backups.
TechTool Protection says only 14% is Free. (86% full)
That agrees, too.
As for turning Time Machine off briefly, I am reluctant, as I am routing my MBP and LAN and to the Internet via 2 Time Capsules. Will I lose access to internet?
No. All that happens is, the deletion process starts (usually very quick, but may take a while), and no new snapshots or external backups will be made until you turn it back on.
Then it should start making new external backups, but only resume local snapshots when the drive gets below 80% full.
Also it seemed to me that MBP is running slow
There's a chance the snapshots are damaged, and TM is having trouble deleting them. That could explain both their continued presence and slow respose.
Take a look at your system.log. If you don't know how to do that, see the tan box in OSX Log Files to locate it, then the blue one to decipher it. Look for messages sent by the mds, mdhelper, mdworker (spotlight); or mtmfs or mtd (Mobile Time Machine, aka Snapshots) processes, or anything else dire-sounding, like "I/O error," "exited with code," "Failed," and especially "Throttling respawn: will start in 10 seconds."
Copy and post anything suspicious here.

Migration assistant now seeing my User file only back ups on my time machine, nor am I able to drag the entire user folder to my new desktop.

I cannot recover my system on a clean install when I try to either use migration assistant or drag and drop of my backed up user profile. I did not back up anything else. I can see the file on my external drive but migration assitant does not see it as a restore and when I drag and drop the file to my desktop, the system informs me I do not have permissions to transfer all of the files.
What can I do?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Persol

Rats. It's awful that Apple doesn't warn folks about that.
Since I am not able to use them as backups, what is the best way to restore all of my previous preferences, calenders, notes, adressbook, etc.?
Would it be best to replace each file in the library of the new machine with the coresponding folders of the new machine?
That's going to be difficult, but is about your only option (assuming you have no other backups).
Part of the hassle is, you have to do it "piecemeal" -- you can't just delete the old home folder, or any of the "default" sub-folders (Desktop, Documents, etc.), and drag in the one from your backups -- you'll get a message about it being a required folder, so you can't delete it.
So you'll have to do it with the contents of the sub-folders.
Make a large pot of coffee.
For future reference, many long-time users consider a good backup plan to start with a minimum of two full backups, via two different apps, on two different pieces of hardware. These should be updated regularly.
For "primary" backups, Time Machine (built in to OSX) is quite good. You might want to review the Time Machine Tutorial, and perhaps browse Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
#27 in the FAQ link has some suggestions for "secondary" backups.

How to restore all Logic files from a Time Machine backup

Hello-
I recently had to clear all of the memory on my laptop, in order to free up some room. It was running very slow, and I had far too much clutter on there. I have a MacBook, and back everything up on Time Capsule, so I've spent the past couple of days individually retrieving all of the files that I want on my computer. I naively thought that I could click on the Logic Pro application from a previous backup, but failed to realize that I have to find the drivers and other components that make up the software. Where can I locate all of these files, and how would you recommend going about restoring all of my projects, drivers, etc.? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Smart mailboxes are not a storage location, they are just a kind of saved search. There's not really anything to restore if you can't restore the messages.
As to your difficulty restoring mail, see the [Time Machine FAQ|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1964018] and [Time Machine Troubleshooting|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2057525] guides. Also, try posting on the TM forums for better help.

Can't find the last three weeks of back-ups on my Time Machine -- HELP!

Today I purchased a new 17" macbook pro to replace one that crashed over the weekend. I did a complete restore from time machine. When it was done, I realized it only restored files from 3.8.2010. It's 3.29.2010. How can I find the last 21 days? I know that time machine backs up regularly, everyday. Just can't seem to find the last 21 days. Thanks to anyone who can help!

Hi, and welcome to the forums.
Just how did you do the restore?
If you did a complete restore from backups, you should have seen a list of backups, and selected the most recent one.
If you used either +Setup Assistant+ or +Migration Assistant,+ it would have used the last completed backup.
Have you checked via the "Star Wars" display, to see what the dates of your backups were? (Since you're now on a different Mac, you may have to manually mount the sparse bundle and use the +*Browse . . .+* option in #17 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum).

HT3728 Time Machine back ups stopped because Time Machine is already in use

Suddenly my Time Machine back-ups stopped. A pop up states that the Time Machine can't back up because it is already in use. Any ideas? Should I reset the Time Machine?
Detlef

This is just standard Lion and Mountain Lion.
Unplug the TC power cord.. count to 10.. plug it back in.
If you have issues still. Power off and on again the computer.

How to recover the autocomplete data from a Time Machine backup?

How to recover the Safari 5.1.7 autocomplete data from a Time Machine backup on Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)?

but other autocomplete data is missing, including the one when filling web form search fields in web pages, for instance, and also some username and password login data on some web sites.

How can I see all devices using my airport express?

Is there any way to see all devices using my airport express for wifi connection?

Open Macinotsh HD > Applications > Utilities > AriPort Utility
Select the AirPort Express and click on Manual Setup
Click directly on the word Wireless Clients about 2/3 of the way down the page to see the MAC Address of each connected device along with the IP address that has been assigned.
You will need to do a bit of experimenation to be able to identify which device is which based on the MAC address.
Disconnect all but one device and note the MAC address. You now know that product that is.
Turn that one off and connect another. You now know what that device is, etc.
If you have 4 wireless devices...and you see 5 connected devices.....you may have an unwanted guest.

I have used Airport Time Capsule with my iMac for several years. I recently purchased a MacBook Air and when it tried to backup to Time Capsule it couldn't because Time Capsule is full. How can I now use the 3TB Airport Time Capsule to back up both?

I have used Airport Time Capsule with my iMac for a couple years. I recently purchased a MacBook Air and when it tried to backup to Time Capsule it couldn't because Time Capsule is full. How can I now use the 3TB Airport Time Capsule to back up both the iMac and MacBook Air? I don't mind losing earlier backups. I have excluded some items from backing up, but since the Airport Time Capsule is full, I can't even begin to back up the MacBook Air.

On your Mac.......
Open Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click on the Disks tab at the top of the window
Click Erase Disk
On the next window that appears, select the Quick Erase option, then click Erase
The operation will only take a few minutes.
Now you are ready to start new backups of both Macs. Back up one Mac first, then back up the other. Do not try to back up both Macs as the same time.

How can I see my backed up photos in time capsule
