I am trying to restore files created using Backup in Tiger.  How do I do this on a Snow Leopard machine which is connected to the Tiger external drive?

I have an external disk that was used on Tiger iMac. I used Backup to save files. Now that I have this external drive connected to a new IMac running SnowLeopard, how do I restore files?

Backup 3.2 is still usable if you have a MM account and can download the upgrade.  Otherwise you'll need to restore them via Tiger.
If the backup is not archived, then the individual files may be accessible directly.

  • I have an issue with time machine, it doesn't find the Lacie external driver it use to use. it is the same drive that I usaly use for time machine back ups. It is corectly plugged. What can I do ?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to back up my macbook with time machine on the Lacie external driver I usualy use for this, but today my computer doesn't find the driver. I haven't done back up in 6 month.
    Today, the Lacie driver is pluged and running, but the computer just does'nt find it.
    what shall I do ?

    Some things to consider:
    Is the drive mounted, i.e., visible via Finder and/or on the Desktop?
    Is the drive still selected in System Preferences, Time Machine? If not, use the "Select Disk" button.
    Is Time Machine still turned on (System Preferences, Time Machine)?
    Can you see the drive (and mount it) using Disk Utility (in your Utilities folder)?

  • Why can't I open PDF files created in Adobe X using Adobe XI? How do I fix this?

    Why can't I open PDF files created using Adobe X in Adobe XI?

    I try and open them in Reader (double left click on the file) and all I get is a single screen with two overlapping frames neither of which have anything to do with the subject although the presentation title is at the top.  One of the frames had "Adobemail.com" on it. Our work computers were recently up-graded to Adobe XI and this was the first time I tried to open a presentation that has worked fine in the past.  I would have thought that Adobe XI would have been backward  compatible, but it doesn't seem so. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have an 08:00 First-Aid class tomorrow and need this presentation.  Apparently Adobe forums are off-line for up-grades.  Thanks

  • I have DSL on my PC and would like to use it with IPad2 - how can I do this

    I have DSL on my PC and would like to use it with IPad2  how can I get this set up.

    All you need is wireless. If the DSL modem does not provide routing services or does not provide wireless, then you need to get a wireless/wired router. If the modem provides wireless, then that's all you need. Consult the user manual for the DSL modem or talk to your service provider.

  • I upgraded to iTunes 10.5 on XP and now it and applemobiledeviceservice.exe use 100% CPU. How do I fix this?

    I upgraded to iTunes 10.5 on XP and now it and applemobiledeviceservice.exe use 100% CPU. How do I fix this?

    When I called Apple Support to ask about the 100%  CPU usage, they wanted to charge me because my Ipod was out of warranty.  I insisted on talking to someone and finally got to talk to a software engineer for free.  He said that he had never heard of the problem in his three years at Apple.  Nonetheless, he sounded really interested and suggested that it might be a conflict with anti-virus software.   I deleted the antiviruse and that DID NOT HELP AT ALL.
    It seems as if Apple could care less.    There is no official response.   Their primary response is to look at the Forum.   At least you find out that the problem isn't your fault, it really is Apple!!!!
    So far the best solution is just to delete iTunes and use Mediamonkey to sync your pod.
    Apple, please fix this!!!!!

  • When trying to move file and use command and drag, it doesn't move the file just creates a short cut.

    When trying to move file and use command and drag, it doesn't move the file just creates a short cut.

    Using command creates a copy.
    If you want to just move a file, click on it, hold it and drag it to the new location.

  • I performed a time machine backup without plugging my labtop into a power source. My computer died and all the settings were changed, ie the clock and date were changed back to 2001. So I tried to restore my computer using a previous time machine backup.

    I performed a time machine backup without plugging my labtop into a power source. My computer died and all the settings were changed, ie the clock and date were changed back to 2001. So I tried to restore my computer using a previous time machine backup. (which I now know was wrong). However, when time machine tried to restore it said there was not enough room to do a backup. It seems that it did a half backup because some essential  files such as system profiler are now missing. Can I undo this restore...? What can I do to fix this

  • Is there a way to load a movie file created using FlattenMovie() function ?

    Is there a way to load a movie file created using FlattenMovie() function ? I tried with NewMovieFromFile() , everything went well but the movie video track somehow had been corrupted.
    The thing is I could nicely convert the original Movie data structure using an export component. But the one I recreated after saving disk did not converted well ( It produced only sound ). Plz help I seached all over the documents to unerstand 'How to use flattened files' but could not.

    I tried to update my iphone 3gs from ios 5 to 6 but because of software crash and while restoring with ios 6 it is not activated. Now I degrade it in ios 4 and can not use any app. How can I update this iphone?

    Downgrading the iOS is not supported, and likely has caused the problems you are experiencing.
    You'll need to go elsewhere for support.

  • I received an email containing a spreadsheet created using Mac Office 2004 on my new MacBook Air equipped with Mac Office 2011.  When I saved the document, my Finder lists the document without the .xls file extension. Why?

    I received an email containing a spreadsheet created using Mac Office 2004 on my new MacBook Air equipped with Mac Office 2011.  When I saved the document, my Finder lists the document without the .xls file extension. Why?
    All other .xls documents created by Mac Office 2004 retained the .xls file extention when I migrated them over to the new MacBook Air.

    I know what happened.  When I saved the document I somehow hit the Hide File Extension box.  Sorry to trouble this group. I simply resaved it w/o activating the Hide File Extension feature.

  • Lost all my data when tried to restore windows from image backup. What to do now(for free)?

    Dear Friends,
    My Server: HP DL380-G7, OS: Win Server2008 (original).
    10 days ago when one of my web application is not working I tried to restore my file in old state. So I apply "Windows image backup" services. After completing the process I found that I can't boot. And later when I installed a new OS I discover
    all my data from dives gone even from my attached USB hard drive.
    HELP ME!!!!! Its my greatest mistake in my 7 years career.
    What to DO!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi,
    Above all, whether the USB disk is also included in your system state backup? If so, the restore will also restore the USB disk back to the status when creating that backup.
    As data is gone from the USB disk, please make sure there is no any new file wrote onto that disk. Then you can try some third party data recovery tool which could help get the files back. Generally such kind of applications are not free but you can still
    search for any application with free version or trail version. 
    If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

  • Trying to restore itunes from straight backup

    I'm trying to restore my itunes library after a reinstalling my entire mac.
    I've a 10+ year old itunes media library kept on an external HDD, and have always regularly backed up my home folder using a Lacie app called Silverkeeper (this includes all the itunes library files kept in the mac music folder).
    I have copied the lot back into Mac HD/ music/itunes.
    I can't find the Itunes Library file in the backed-up user/music/itunes folder.
    Everything else is there; xml, itdb files, artwork folder, previous itunes libraries etc.
    Does OSX not let a 3rd party app copy the main library file? Where could it possibly have gone?
    How will I get all the playlists/ settings back? Using my ipod?

    I gather all my devices will completely re-sync from scratch?
    i expect they will.
    I'll look into a more apple-endorsed method of backup from now.
