HT201250 If I wish to see the contents of my I photo in a time machine back up I am getting a 'cant see because its in a Time Machine back up so how can I be sure that I can delete some photos from my mac

I have used Time machine back up and as I wish to delets photos on my I mac I want to confirm that I have backed up ok. However when I go into Time Machine and attempt to open I photo I get the message ' cant see becasue its in a time machine back up'.
How do I get to see whats in the back up... any of them

Time Machine is backup, not an archive. You should not use it to keep permanent copies of things you have deleted from your main disk. Once the original is gone, the Time Machine copy will not last forever. If you want to keep a permanent copy of a photo "offline", you must make a copy of it somewhere.

    I'm trying to purchase and download a movie, but I keep getting message error that I have no space. The error states that I must delete some photos or videos in order to download. I've gone to iPod then edit and deleted some videos, but I'm still getting the message. What is the correct way to delete the videos and should they still be there.

    They wont still be there if you delete them,but if you have those same photos on the main computer.

    Yes, you stop using the same Apple ID under Settings > iCloud.

  • HT4946 how can I make sure that itunes saved my contacts and photos on last back up ?

    How can I make sure that itunes saved contacts and photos FROM my iPhone on last back up ?, i just bought this phone and store transfer contacts from old non-smart phone and dont want to loose them !

    Look in whatever software on your computer handles your contacts and photos. Neither will be part of the backup file. This may be of help:

        I know it's beneficial to be able to check your message content ArmyQueer. Verizon messages offers a wide variety of convenient options to manage messaging. What make and model device is this? When did you download the application on it? Please be aware you will only be able to see content after the app had been downloaded and installed. Content prior to the app being active will not be available. Here's a link with additional info. http://vz.to/1k3gBxd

  • How can i see the content of the cache server 2 ?

    How can i see the content of the cache server 2 ?

    Caching server is backed by an sqlite database.  If you want to see what you currently have downloaded, you can glean some information by accessing the database.  Use this command to connect to the database:
    sudo sqlite3 /Library/Server/Caching/Data/AssetInfo.db
    Once connected, you can use .tables to see the tables in the database but the one with the most information appears to be ZASSET.  Use:
       select * from ZASSET;
    To list the current contents.  You will get a series of records similar to the following:
    26|1|5|0|868991341|402440412.42114|402507221.969799|ffaf18a45cd5dd5e853233629036 5767|30B9108D-ABE4-4061-A2E0-42E91301249B|Fri, 06 Sep 2013 18:21:34 GMT|/content/downloads/14/11/091-9722/ognnjd4fno85m4pbapjtnv23b7rf1mkufx/OSXUpd Combo10.8.5.pkg|
    Note that the final value is a human recognizable name of the package.  However, you may also see items like this:
    125|1|4|0|11622676|406739736.508118|406739736.508125|4f1f9b08b32f9f6211e4569604b 1efef|481BF3D9-99BB-415F-ADB6-860EDD24B08E|Thu, 14 Nov 2013 10:24:30 GMT|/us/r1000/032/Purple6/v4/37/a3/d2/37a3d2f7-2594-8224-7eda-712f17a3fd8b/mzps 6227198657217312566.D2.pd.ipa|
    This is an iOS application.  There is no real way that I know of yet to match the package name (mzps6227198657217312566.D2.pd.ipa) to a product name.
    When finished, type .quit

  • I used Time Machine to recover my Pictures folder. This created a folder called Pictures (original) but I cannot open it.  There is a do not enter roadsign, red disk and white bar on it.  How can I see the contents?

    Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    chmod -R -N ~
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. When a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) appears below what you entered, it’s done. You may see a few error messages about an “invalid argument” while the command is running. You can ignore those. If you get an error message with the words “Permission denied,” enter this:
    sudo !!
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
    Next, boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset the password.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

    I'm sorry, but your sister, unless she had already turned on the "Find my iPhone" feature and the person who took the phone has not disabled it, is out of luck. She should report the theft to local police authorities, including the serial number of her iPhone. While her experience is unfortunate, there are good reasons why Apple cannot do anything else about it.
    I hope she gets her phone back.
    Best of luck.

    Unfortunately... Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...

  • I can see I have mail, but I can't see the contents

    I am getting new mails but when I go into that mail to see the content, I can't see anything.
    Just empty.
    I can definitely see there is some word or sometimes attachment. I can not see those.
    Does anyone know how to solve this matter?
    Thanks you

    Try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • EDiscovery_SharePoint 2013_After a set of content is placed on hold in a location, how do I make sure that anything added to the same location

    Hi everyone,
    After a set of content is placed on hold in a location, how do I make sure that anything added to the same location,that meets the filter (e.g. keyword) gets added to the hold automatically ?
    Right now the only way I can do this is to take off the hold ,re-apply the filter to the source and then enable the hold. That isn't sustainable.

    @arcycapa,
    If you have a Mac, you can download iDentify2 (http://identify2.arrmihardies.com/). It is free. You can use that change or set your contentRating. If you are on Windows, there is a commercial tool called MetaX. or download a free command line tool called AtomicParsley from (https://bitbucket.org/wez/atomicparsley). Unzip the file and run this command (AtomicParsley "C:/Users/Home Videos/name of the file.mp4" --contentRating R) from the DOS prompt without the parenthesis. Please keep in mind the forward slash in the path name listed above. This would generate a temp file. You can rename the temp file to the original file name. Just a word of caution, please make a copy of your original file somewhere. Just in case.
