I've messed up my iTunes Library, how can I retrieve it from Time Machine?
I was trying to move my Library to an external hard drive...but had issues. How can I retrieve my iTunes Library from Time Machine as it was originally so I can start all over?
Navigate to your iTunes Library then Enter Time Machine. Time Machine should open at your iTunes Library. Select your iTunes Library/Restore

How can i retrieve bookmarks from time machine?
Hello. I need major help. This past weekend, I had to wipe the HD on my Macbook Pro. I did have Time Machine backups at the time. Is there any way to retrieve my old Firefox bookmarks from Time Machine? Please help. I'm trying to recover more than two years of work. Please help! :-)
You would have to find the previously used Firefox profile folder in the Time Machine backup.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
The profile folder consists of a part with a random name and a trailing file extension part that shows in the Profile Manager.
You need to go one level up and locate that folder in the time machine backup.
*/Users/<user>/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/<profile>/
Then you need to transfer the places.sqlite file to the current profile folder or possibly use a JSON backup to restore the bookmarks.
Make sure to remove other possible places.sqlite files (places.sqlite-shm and places.sqlite-wal in particular).

HT201250 How can I exclude mail from Time Machine backups?
How can I exclude mail from Time Machine backups?
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Mails are stored on ~/Library/Mail, being ~ your user folder. As you are running Snow Leopard, it's easy to exclude your mails from your Time Machine backup.
Open System Preferences > Time Machine > Options, and add ~/Library/Mail to excluded items, so the next backup won't include mails. Note that you have to go to your user folder, in order to access to this directory -

How can I restore iCal from time machine
Hi can I restore the data from iCal from time machine?
The data is in ~/Library/Calendars
The folders have gibberish names; you can't tell which folder is which calendar, so you probably need to restore the entire folder.
But if you have your Calendars synched via iCloud, there may not be anything there, since iCloud is where the "real" data resides. -
HT4927 How do I retrieve photos from Time Machine on a new macbook air?
My previous mac book pro had all my photos on it. I thought I saved the library to a disk, but was unsuccessful. I also backed up my photos to my Time machine daily. Once my macbook and coffee got acquainted, it no longer worked. I am unable to retrieve my photos from anywhere, nor do I know how to access them from my time machine. When I enter time machine, the date only goes as far back as to when I started back ups with the new macbook. How can I obtain them? I have a lot of baby photos I'm without.
Not for photos as I don't have alot of room, nor am I 100% know what I am doing.

Entourage 2008 calendar deleted. How can i restore it from time machine backup?
I have my Entourage 2008 calendar sync with ical. I accidentally deleted Entourage on the left column of ical, and it deleted the calendar on on Entourage. I want to restore the calendar. I have used time machine to backup my hard drive. I just don't know how or what to do.

How can I restore iMessages from Time Machine to a clean install?
Hello,
I just recently did a clean install of Mavericks. I was wondering how to transfer all my saved iMessages from my Time Machine drive to this clean install?
Thanks in advance!Sign out of iMessage and all other IM accounts, if any. Quit Messages. Hold down the option key and select
Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. A folder window will open.
Enter Time Machine and restore the subfolder named "Messages" from a backup that predates the unwanted changes, then log out and log back in.
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, delete the subfolder Containers/com.apple.iChat. -

How can i recover mail from time machine
i upgraded from lion to mountain lion few month ago. i have been backingup to time machine since day one.
last week, formatted my mac, i tried to recover my mail by using time machine, it did not show up any date for recovery.
it there a way to import back these mail? or is there a way to recover it?Although you can restore messages from a Time Machine snapshot within the Mail application, it generally won't work with messages that were saved by an older version of Mail. In that case, you have to use an alternative method.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder selected. Inside that folder are subfolders representing your Mail accounts. The names refer to the email addresses you use. Decide which ones you want to restore messages from.
Enter Time Machine and scroll back to the snapshot you want. Select the account folders you want and then select Restore ... to... from the action menu (gear icon) in the toolbar of the snapshot window. Restore the folders to the Desktop, not to their original location.
From the Mail menu bar, select
File ▹ Import Mailboxes...
Import from the mailboxes in the folders you restored to the Desktop. The imported messages will appear in a new mailbox. Move the ones you want to keep wherever you like and delete the rest. Then delete the folders on the Desktop.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
