I accidentally erased the Time Machine app

I thought I was deleting a shortcut, and ended up deleting the entire app itself. Can I reinstall it by reinstalling the Snow Leopard upgrade or will I have to reinstall Leopard, then Snow Leopard?
Thanks for the help, I appreciate it.

no need to reinstall the whole SL. you can pull Time Machine.app from the SL install disk using Pacifist http://www.charlessoft.com/
you'll have to manually reinstall 10.6.2 combo update to bring it up to its current version.

  • Accidentally deleted the Time Machine back up drive!

    After a hard drive faliure, I was trying to get my new hard drive ready to import from an external hard drive through Time Machine. In the process, I deleted my back up drive (the availble room is the same as hard drive's capacity). What I'm confused about, is that there was no warning and 4 years worth of data disapeared all of a sudden. No bar showing the data is being deleted or at least moved to the trash can. Is this possible and if yes, is there any way I can retrieve those data?
    Thanks,
    Amir

    DId you Erase or Format it via Disk Utility?  If so, yes there was a warning.
    If not, what did you do?
    You may be able to recover most of the data, but it will not be easy.  See Data Recovery

  • How big of an external disk do I have to use to back up my mac mini using the time machine app?

    I have a new Mac Mini, and I wanted to begin using time machine to back up my files.  I tried to use an external hard drive that is used for our other machines (PCs) and it would not allow that hard drive to be used b/c it did not have a valid file structure.  I did not know how to fix that, so I was going to buy another external hard drive to support backing up the Mac Mini with OSX10.8.1 and a 500GB hard drive.  I saw somewhere that as lonmg as I had twice the RAM (4GB) it should be ok, but that seemed to be too small.  I was considering buying a 500GB if necessary.
    Does anyone know if I can use a small 8GB flash drive to support the backups or do I need a 500GB or similar external hard drive to backup the Mac Mini with time machine?
    Thanks.

    It is recommended that Time Machine has its Own Dedicated Hard Drive that is at least Twice the size of the Drive(s) you intend to Backup.

  • Is it possible to set up the Time Machine app with the AirPort Time Capsule on an iPad or iPod?

    I coould set it up on my mac, but don't appear on the ipad or ipods. It works only on computers? Please, someone let me know how to set it up.
    Thanks!

    No. The mobile devices are not backed up with Time Machine or Time Capsule. They are backed up either to iCloud or iTunes only.

  • Can't open Time Machine.app

    I cant open the Time Machine app to make a restore. I don't get any error messages or see anything in the console?
    (Repaired permissions etc.)

    This is very strange. I'm not sure what could be causing it in one user account and not any other. Try emptying out the entire contents of home/Library/Preferences and home/Library/Caches, and see if it launches then.

  • How can I have the Time Machine animated wallpaper as my desktop background?

    I really love the animated stars when you go in the time machine app. Is there a way to have this as your desktop background?
    I've found and tested a few apps that do this (animated desktop pictures), but I really want the time machine animation.
    I've also found an app that lets you use the old time machine animated picture, but I don't even nearly like it as much as the new one.
    If anyone knows... please tell me

    Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
    Open Users & Groups
    Click the Login Items tab (next to the Password tab)
    Click the + buttton at the bottom of the list
    Use the Finder interface to locatet the Time Capsule drive and open it on the desktop
    Click Add
    Now the Time Capsule drive....named "Data", unless you have renamed it, will mounta and appear on the desktop when your Mac starts up.

  • HT201250 Time Machine App does not start under OS X Lion

    I tried to restore an item from my back-up, however the Time Machine App does not start.
    I use the latest version of OS X Lion 10.7.5 (Build 11G63).
    I used the work around by opening my back-up volume with the finder and copied the wanted item.
    However, this is not the correct approach I think.
    Does anybody have a solution to my problem?

    Just the last addition to my question.
    The modifications of the access rights took very, very long. In the end I cancelled the process.
    Nevertheless, time machine now works correctly. As far as I can see it.
    If annybody runs into similar problems. The solution is I think just to modify the access rights on the back-up volume to read and write access for everyone.
    Probably OS X Lion added an undocumented feature to the time machine.

  • I'm running Pages version 5.2 on a Desktop Mac version 10.9.2. with the Pages app open how do I use the Time Machine to go back five hours to see the work?

    I'm running Pages version 5.2 on a Desktop Mac version 10.9.2. With the Pages app open how do I use the Time Machine to go back five hours to see my page? Can I access Time Machine within an app like Pages? How do I enter Time Machine within the application? It always takes me to the Finder. I apolgise for the mumbo jumbo. I simply do not know how to use Time Machine. It makes sense when I follow the Tutorial but then I lose it.

    OK. You've kind of skipped over the reason why you want to go back five hours, but my assumption would be that you've made changes to a Pages file that you want to revert.
    There are two ways to tackle this. From Pages itself, open the current version of your document, and from the File menu, click Revert To, and Browse All Versions. You'll then be in the Time Machine interface for that file, and can browse back to the version you want.
    Or, outside of Pages, you can select the file (or the folder it was originally in, if you've since deleted it) and enter Time Machine from the TM menu (it sounds like you've already tried this?)

  • HT201250 i am using for first time the time machine and an external hard drive because I want to erase my macbook and start from zero files. do i keep my files in the portable hard disk when I connect it again with the macbook or the time machine will era

    i am using for first time the time machine and an external hard drive because I want to erase my macbook and start from zero files. Am i keeping my files in the portable hard disk when I will connect it again with the macbook or the time machine will erase all?
    I would like to know if after I erase all my data, empy hard drive inside the macbook, the time machine will erase all my files that I have saved in my "WD "My passport" external hard drive

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Time Machine has to erase the external disk in order to make backups. Before setting Time Machine up, copy the files of your external disk to the hard disk of the Mac in order not to lose them, and then, set up Time Machine. The first backup will start automatically.
    If you want more information about Time Machine, read the Pondini's site > http://pondini.org

  • Will a system restore from Time Machine erase any of the data that is currently on the Mac and not in the Time Machine?

    We had a lot of data on our Mac (i.e. photos, iTunes libraries etc) which we backed up via Time Machine. The hard disk corrupted so we had to get it wiped. When we got it back, my parents started using the mac as per usual but they didn't do a full System Restore from Time Machine. So, if I do a full restore now, will it erase any of the new photos, musc etc that is currently on the mac?

    The Time Machine restore will only restore what is on Time Machine.  Making a clone is probably a better means of ensuring whatever data you want recovered gets recovered together with Time Machine.
    Generally speaking, applications that are newer than the operating system from Apple that are included with the operating system are not supported.  So in your data recovery process from your clone, you'll have to be careful what data you choose to copy back.

  • I have an Apple Macbook and will be backing up the entire system to an external hard drive utilizing the Time Machine application. when I am doing this, will the data on the external drive that I am using be erased?

    I have an Apple Macbook and will be backing up the entire system in order to upgrade to a newer OS. I will be using an external hard drive to do this and there is already data on it. To complete the backup, i will be using the Time Machine application. Does this application wipe out all of the existing data on the external hard drive, or will it create a new "folder" for the backup?
    thank you

    No, but as steve359 states you should use a dedicated hard drive for backups. It you need a temporary backup then you can use the drive provided it has sufficient space for all your data on the hard drive.
    When Time Machine finds that the drive has data on it already it may decide to erase the drive before continuing, which is another reason to use a dedicated drive.

  • HT201250 Is there a possibility to recover erased files from an external hard drive that was reformatted by the Time Machine?

    Is there a possibility to recover erased files from an external hard drive that was reformatted by the Time Machine?

    Basics of File Recovery
    Files in Trash
    If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location.  OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
    If you empty the Trash the files are gone. If a program does an immediate delete rather than moving files to the Trash, then the files are gone.  Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When files are deleted only the directory entries, not the files themselves, is modified. The space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage, but the files are still on the drive. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.
    General File Recovery
    If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro.  Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.  Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk.  Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
    Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.

  • Links and Migration Assistant from the Time Machine

    I have a MacBook Pro with one internal hard disk and two external Firewire hard disks.
    The first external hard disk is the Time Machine back up disk.
    The second external hard disk is the target for my recovery efforts.
    The is how it went:
    1. Erase the second external hard disk writing zeros to it.
    2. Did a Time Machine volume restore from the first external hard disk to the second.
    3. The Time Machine crashed gloriously within 2 minutes, and 0.7% of the files restored.

    The target hard disk is unusable.
    4. Erased the target disk and wrote zeros to it.
    5. Used Carbon Copy Cloner to copy a plain Leopard image.
    6. Used Migration Assistant to get my users, applications, etc. to migrate from Time Machine.
    I chose all the options to migrate data and settings.
    7. The reason to use Migration Assistant to get the data from Time Machine was because I suspected that the Time Machine backup might be corrupted. (The volume restore fails every single time.) I was trying to see if Migration Assistant would also crash. My reasoning was that a successful Migration Assistant would not prove anything, a crash would point to corruption in the Time Machine backup.
    8. I booted from my internal hard drive and so far I've found the three weirdness:
    a. A password stored by Safari reverts to an old value.
    b. iTunes shows me the License Agreement to Agree/Disagree.
    c. QuickTimePro registration is blanked out.
    So, the question is:
    *Did Migration Assistant modify my internal drive because of links?*

    Stefano,
    1. Boot from the Leopard installation disc by pressing the letter C while doing a restart.
    2. Choose the language.
    3. Click on Utilities on the Menu bar.
    4. Select Restore System from Time Machine.
    5. Select which Time Machine backup is the source for the restore
    6. Select which disk is the target for the restore
    a. Consider that the restore may fail leaving your target volume unusable
    b. Consider that the restore will rename the target volume to the name of the source volume,
    so you might end up with duplicate names.
    Hope this helps.
    Roberto

    Hello, I'm just wonder why ZCM registers all linux device names in lower case, independent if the host name on the device itself is written in upper or lower case. Is this how ZCM did it all the time or is there a specific reason for this ? Rainer
