Icalendar - most, not all, entries have disappeared - where can I find back up on Time Machine?

For some reason, most of my calendar entries have gone - not all of them.
I have a Time Machine that backs up regularly.
I I wanted to find a recent back up of icalendar, where would I find it on Time Machine, so that I can 'Restore' accordingly?

My contacts have disappeared, where can I find them?

My contacts have disappeared off my phone. Where can I find them?

I assume in settings/icloud you have contacts turned on. If so then open the contacts app on your phone, tap on groups top left, then tap on the circular arrow top left and see what that does.

Where can I find my pictures in Time Machine?

In the Finder I can find my pictures after right-clicking IPhoto and then under Originals. But when I open Time Machine and want to check if my data have been backuped correctly I can find my music and documents but not my Pictures. Where can I find them?

Open iPhoto and select Browse Backups from the File menu. iPhoto's library is stored in the /Home/Pictures/ folder.

Where can I find old emails in Time Machine?

Just need to find an older email in time machine. Where can I find it? i.e in which folder etc.
Thanks heaps.

Bring the Mail browser window forward, then enter Time Machine. Scroll back in the time-travel view to the most recent snapshot containing the messages you want to restore. Select the messages, then click Restore. The messages will be restored to a new mailbox. From there you can move them wherever you like.

HT201269 Where can I find my mail on time machine to restore my mail folders?

I have just synched my first ihpone with my imac. I thought the data would copy from the imac to the ipone bu the reverse seems to have happened. I was using mail folders to store all my important messages and they have all disappeared. I am now trying to resotr ethem using Time Machine but I can't locate them on there. I have looked at previous forums on this but the cmd shift G search advice isn't working.

Hi, I never use TM, but...

RMAN-05556: not all datafiles have backups that can be recovered to SCN

Oracle 11.2.0.2 SE-One
Oracle Linux 5.6 x86-64
Weekly refresh of a test db from prod, using rman DUPLICATE DATABASE, failed with “RMAN-05556: not all datafiles have backups that can be recovered to SCN”
Background Summary:
Weekly inc 0 backup of production starts on Sunday at 0100, normally completes around 1050. Includes backups of archivelogs
Another backup of just archivelogs runs on Sunday at 1200, normally completes NLT 1201.
On the test server, the refresh job starts on Sunday at 1325. In the past this script used a set until time \"to_date('`date +%Y-%m-%d` 11:55:00','YYYY-MM-DD hh24:mi:ss')\"; -- hard-coded for ‘today at 11:55’.
For a variety of reasons I decided to replace this semi-hard coding of the UNTIL with a value determined by querying the rman catalog, getting the completion time of the inc 0 backup. This tested out just fine in my vbox lab, even when I deliberately drove some updates and log switches during the period the backup was running. But the first time to go live I got the above reported error.
Details:
The key part of the inc 0 backup is this (run from a shell script)
export BACKUP_LOC=/u01/backup/dbprod
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target=/ catalog rman/***@rmcat<<EOF
configure backup optimization on;
configure default device type to disk;
configure retention policy to recovery window of 2 days;
crosscheck backup;
crosscheck archivelog all;
delete noprompt force obsolete;
delete noprompt force expired backup;
delete noprompt force expired archivelog all;
configure controlfile autobackup on;
configure controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to '$BACKUP_LOC/%d_%F_ctl.backup';
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT   '$BACKUP_LOC/%U.rman' MAXPIECESIZE 4096 M;
sql "alter system archive log current";
show all;
backup as compressed backupset archivelog all delete all input format "$BACKUP_LOC/%U.alog";
backup as compressed backupset incremental level 0 database tag tag_dbprod;
sql "alter system archive log current";
backup as compressed backupset archivelog all delete all input format "$BACKUP_LOC/%U.alog";
list recoverable backup;
EOF
The archivelog-only backup (runs at noon) looks like this:
export BACKUP_LOC=/u01/backup/dbprod
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target=/ catalog rman/***@rmcat<<EOF
configure backup optimization on;
configure default device type to disk;
configure retention policy to recovery window of 2 days;
crosscheck backup;
crosscheck archivelog all;
delete noprompt force obsolete;
delete noprompt force expired backup;
delete noprompt force expired archivelog all;
configure controlfile autobackup on;
configure controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to '$BACKUP_LOC/%d_%F_ctl.backup';
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT   '$BACKUP_LOC/%U.rman' MAXPIECESIZE 4096 M;
sql "alter system archive log current";
show all;
backup as compressed backupset archivelog all delete all input format "$BACKUP_LOC/%U.alog";
list recoverable backup;
EOF
And the original refresh looked like this:
>> a step to ftp the backups from the prod server to the test server, and some other housekeeping <<, then
cd /backup/dbtest
echo "connect catalog rman/***@rmcat" > /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
echo "connect target sys/*******@dbprod" >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
echo "connect auxiliary /"             >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
echo "run {"                           >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
echo "set until time \"to_date('`date +%Y-%m-%d` 11:55:00','YYYY-MM-DD hh24:mi:ss')\";" >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
echo "duplicate target database to DBTEST;" >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
echo "}" >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
So, my mod to the refresh was
bkup_point=`sqlplus -s rman/***@rmcat <<EOF1
set echo off verify off feedback off head off pages 0 trimsp on
select to_char(max(completion_time),'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss')
from rc_backup_set_details
where db_name='DBPROD'
and backup_type='D'
and incremental_level=0
exit
EOF1`
cd /backup/dbtest
echo "connect catalog rman/***@rmcat"     > /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
echo "connect target sys/*******@dbprod"    >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
echo "connect auxiliary /"                >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
echo "run {"                              >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
echo "set until time \"to_date('${bkup_point}','YYYY-MM-DD hh24:mi:ss')\";" >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
echo "duplicate target database to DBTEST;" >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
echo "}"                                  >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
Now the fun begins.
First, an echo in the refresh script confirmed the ‘bkup_point’:
=======================================================
We will restore to 2013-08-25 10:41:38
=======================================================
Internally, rman reset the ‘until’ as follows:

Notice the slight difference in time between what is reported in the LIST BACKUP and what was reported by my query to the catalog.
Continuing with the backup list, the second archivelog backup in the script generated six backupsets. The fifth set showed:

Notice the availability of the archivelogs including the referenced scn.
Investigation of the ftp portion of the refresh script confirmed that all backup pieces were copied from the prod server.
So what am I overlooking? Having reverted back to the original script to get the refresh completed,

So, technically, you only need the database and archivelogs backed up by the database script and not the noon run of the archivelog backup.
backup as compressed backupset archivelog all delete all input format "$BACKUP_LOC/%U.alog";
backup as compressed backupset incremental level 0 database tag tag_dbprod;
sql "alter system archive log current";
backup as compressed backupset archivelog all delete all input format "$BACKUP_LOC/%U.alog";
Yet, why does backupset 5 of the noon archivelog backup show archivelogs from 10:30 to 10:40 if they had been deleted by the database backup script which has a delete input ? It is as if the database backup script did NOT delete the archivelogs and the noon run was the one to backup the archivelogs (again ?)
No, that is from the morning full backup. Note the 'Completion Time" of 25-Aug-2013 10:54:53
However, the error message seems to point to a datafile. Why would reverting the recovery point to 11:55 make a difference, I wonder.
As do I.
Also puzzling to me are the times associated with the completion of the backups. I don't recall ever having to scrutinize a backup listing this closely so I'm sure it's just a matter of filling in some gaps in my understanding, but I noticed this. The backup report (list backup;) shows this for the inc 0 backup:

I hope this posts in a readable, understandable manner. I really struggeled with the 'enhanced editor', which I normally use. When I pasted in blocks from the rman report, it kept trying to make some sort of table structure out of it .... guess I'll have to follow that up with a question in the Community forum ....

I want to transfer all my iPhoto, iTunes, contacts, etc. files from my MacBook, which I am selling to a MacBook Pro. What is the easiest and safest method of achieving this? Can the files backed up on Time Machine be transferred to the Pro?.

I want to transfer all my iPhoto, iTunes, contacts,documents, etc. files from my MacBook, which I am selling, to a MacBook Pro. What is the easiest and safest method of achieving this? Can the files backed up on Time Machine from the MacBook be transferred to the Pro in some way? I would like to capture the files as they appear on the MacBook, such as "Events" in iPhoto and the various song categories within iTunes without having to rename them all once saved on the Pro, which is the case with photos when I simply save them to thumb drive and import them to the Pro. Sny advice would be appreciated.
Best regards,
Rob.

Michael,
Thanks for all your assistance. There is no need for apologies, Migration Assistant did indeed create a second account for the MacBook data. It has just taken me some time to figure out how to access it. I now have all the MB data in one account and the MBP files in another, which suits me fine. In fact, it is an advantage in my case as it keeps the private and business aspects separated.
I will however try the fatcatsoftware to transfer all the iPhoto files to my iMac, where I keep my main photo library. and it will be of help to keep the events, etc in the transfer. As far as iTunes is concerned, I have HomeSharing on all my computers and this has obviated the need to worry about playlists being transferred successfully. However, HomeSharing did not appear to share the iPhone/iPod apps that were stored on the MB and although these have now come across with the new MacBook account on the MBP, I was wondering whether my iPhone and iPod will be recognised by the MBP and sync with it? Will I need to have the MB account open to achieve this or will the MBP recognise and sync with the iPhone/iPod automatically irrespective of which account is open?
Thanks for the tip on deauthorising my iTunes account from the MB before sellng. This I will do and I believe the best way to remove all of my data from the hard drive is to reinstall the MacOSX operating system software. Is this the right approach to securely delete everything?
Thanks again for sharing your expertise and your guidance through this exercise.
Best regards,
Rob.

Have you updated your iTunes on your computer? WIth a device running iOS7, you need iTunes 11.
When you removed iTUnes, did you see something named 'apple mobile device support' or something like it? (The exact name varies from operating system to operating system). If you see that, uninstall it too. That's the drivers for your iPhone and they should self-install when you plug your device in.
If all that is fine, have you checked your cable and USB port? a malfunctioning cable can keep you from syncing.

Where do i find mail on a time machine copy

where do i find lost mail on a time machine copy

When you open Finder and then from the Time Machine Icon in the menu bar hold the option key and Browse Other Backup Disks. then ⇧⌘G, then ~/Library/Mail/V2, you're not seeing the folder with your old emails? (don't open TM from Mail)
If you see your old mail, then this may be a long-way, but....
BACKUP your current email
Log into the Guest Account (->System Preferences->Users & Groups)
Open Finder, then from the Time Machine Icon in the menu bar hold the option key and Browse Other Backup Disks. then ⇧⌘G, then ~/Library/Mail/V2 and restore the V2 Folder
Now start Mail and set up your accounts (all your emails from the TM should be restored)
You can then Mail->Mailbox->Export Mailbox and save to your Desktop (do this with each Mailbox)
Copy these exported mailboxes to a USB drive
Log into your regular account.
Open Mail and File->Import Mailboxes.
Hope this helps.
