    Plug an external drive into the computer and use that to expand data onto.

    Hi, how did you get MavX from 10.5.8, since it requires 10.6.8 to get MavX from Apple's App Store?

  • Restoring photo information from time machine

    Somehow, iPhoto changed the title of all of my photos in a particular album to "1921".  So, I need to restore those 279 modified photos that are in that photo album to get the correct title back. When I go to Time Machine and look at the photo album I see exactly what I want. However, when I click "restore", what gets imported is the original photo with the original file number as the title. That's worse than having the wrong title. Why isn't the modified photo imported?

    I have lost about 75% of my photos from 2009 -- earlier years seem not to have been affected, and this year's photos are not affected.
    Here's what happened: In an effort to free up space on my hard drive, I deleted a very large file called "recovered photos." In 2008, I backed up that file to DVDs, but had not thought that anything had been added to that file since then.
    But after deleting that file, I immediately noticed that most of my 2009 photos were missing. The only explanation I can think of is that they were somehow stored in this old recovered photo file.
    The last backup I ran on Time Machine was run on Feb. 14.
    you should back up more regularly than that if you value your data.
    I have never had to restore data from Time Machine so I am not sure how to do it. I have located the missing recovered photo file on Time Machine. Should I highlight that file and click restore? Or should I restore the entire pictures folder?
    quit iphoto and restore the whole iphoto library in your Pictures folder. don't try restoring the Pictures folder itself. that won't work. yes, to restore it you click on TM in the dock, scroll back in time select iphoto library and hit "restore". say yes when it asks if you want to overwrite existing items.
    I posted in the iPhoto forums two days ago, and I have tried the suggestions I received there to no avail. Following those suggestions, I rebuilt my iPhoto library using both iPhoto and iPhoto Library Manager and neither action turned up the lost photos. I am posting here now because I think that restoring from Time Machine is my only chance of recovering those photos.

  • How to restore all aperture photos from Time Machine

    My 2 main Aperture libraries are all messed up (cannot get photos back into their correct projects, some thumbnails are empty, etc. etc.  I think it's time to just restore all the photos from TimeMachine/External hardrive back into one NEW single Aperture  library.  How do I do this?

    I think it's time to just restore all the photos from TimeMachine/External hardrive back into one NEW single Aperture  library.  How do I do this?
    That are two tasks that you want to do in one - restoring from Time Machine and creating a new, merged Aperture library. Ths cannot be done in one go.
    You can use Time Machine to restore your two libraries from the backup. But since Time Machine does not do archival backups of photo libraries, you can only restore the last backup TM made. Depending on when you last ran TM, this may very well be the current versions of your Aperture libraries.
    To restore a library from Time Machine:
    Connect the backup drive.
    In the Finder navigate to the folder with your Aperture Libraries (for example "Pictures") and open this folder as the front-most Finder Window.
    With this window selected, go to the TM icon in the Finder's menu bar and "Enter Time Machine".
    In the TM Time Line at the right of the TM Time Tunnel select the current backup and select the Aperture library in the Finder window. Select to "Restore to" this library to a different folder, so that you do not overwrite your current library.
    Once you have restored both libraries, check, if the projects that you are concerned about are now separated again and are showing all thumbnails.
    To help you to create a new, combined library from the restored library, we will need to know more. There are several options, e.g.:
    Merging the two libraries by importing one into the other.
    Exporting all your originals, project by project, and reimporting them.
    What is your Aperture 3 version number? Do you have the latest version 3.4.5 or an earlier version?
    How to proceed will depend on what you could recover from Time Machine.

  • External hd that I used for data died... it is backed up on time machine... how do I restore all my data from time machine to a new external hd?

    I installed the Lion OS this weekend. After Spotlight tried to index my external hard drive (that I use to store all my data), the external hard drive died. I expected that to happen at some point. The hard drive was an old FireWire 400 LaCie that I had working with my 2009 iMac (FireWire 800) by using an adaptor cable.
    My Time Machine backs up both my Macintosh (internal) HD and my external data HD. I know I need to buy a new external drive to use to store my data.
    But, then what? How do I get all the content from the backups of the old external (data) HD to the new one?

    Another one that Apple doesn't make obvious.

  • If I install new hard drive can I still restore from time machine?

    I'm planning on updating the hard drive in my macbook to a 320gb drive. I currently have a drive with around 120gb of space. I know there are programs available to back up the entire hard drive. But, I've been having issue with my computer lately and I would rather just start over and just back up microsoft office because I don't have the key anymore and my iTunes library. Can I do all this from just my Time Machine back-ups and reinstall everything else? Or is the best way to make a bootable back up to my new drive and then install the hardware in my mac book.

    I did this just a few weeks ago. I replaced my 80g hd with a 320g hd. I used time machine to backup my computer. All I had to do was swap hard drives. Use the install dvd to start computer. i then used disk utility to properly format the new hard drive (mac journaled). Then I used the restore option. That was all I had to do. Everything from my old hard drive was put on my new one in about one hour. Time Machine backs up your entire hard drive unless you excluded anything. So you can have a clean install of everything just the way it was on your old hard drive just by using Time Machine.

  • Can´t recover all my mails from Time Machine

    Hi!
    When I upgraded to Yosemite I did a backup with Time Machine before. After the upgrade I had some issues with my mail accounts. I already figured it out but  trying different things I erased a pop account.  When I added again, I lost most of my mails from that account. I talked to the server´s owners and they told me that the account is pop so the server doesn´t have a backup of my mails.
    I have a backup with Time Machine, but it does´t let me recover mails from before the day I erased and added the account again, so when I recover mails I only recover a 10% of them.
    Does anyone know how can I recover all my mails? I assume that they must be on the backup, right?
    Thanks!!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try restoring the library as a whole, keeping both copies. Then open the restored version with iPhoto. That will have all your albums, keywords, titles, slideshows, etc. that existed at the time of the TM backup.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • HT201250 My macbook pro crashed and I had to install a new hard drive. I restored from Time Machine backup all the files from my old hard drive onto my new one.

    Does it really back up the whole new drive or does it only back up what's been added? It seemed like it was doing the whole thing when I tried it. I stopped it. Don't want to use up all the space on my external. Is there something else I need to do or did I mess up by not doing the migrating thing? thanks!

    If you installed a new hard drive, it has nothing on it and yes TimeMachine is going to take forever to restore everything back.
    I guess you'll have to erase and start over again now.
    Too bad, you should have made bootable clones in addition to TimeMachine, they can restore in a hour or two depending upon content, they are also option key bootable.
    TimeMachine has to go through and calculate all the files it needs to bring forward, the files are strewn all over the drive. The read heads are moving all over the platters all the time from fast sectors to slow ones, not matching what's occuring on the internal drive.
    With a clone the files are defragmented and optimized, the drive reads one file, moves the heads a tiny bit and reads the next all the while transferring exactly to the internal drive, they are more in step with one another, thus it's much faster restoring from a clone than TM.

    Remember that you are moving mail over the internet, and you are uploading (slower). If the quantities are large you must use caution.
    1. Copy, don't move, in the event of a failure the original will still exist, delete it later.
    2. Limit copies to <500 emails
    3. Single copy operations are more reliable than multiple.
    Take your time.
    Thanks, but impractical. Many of the folders have more than 500 emails. Total is about 2 GB (which I have free on iCloud btw)

  • Installed a new hdd, want to install from time machine

    I just had a new hdd put into my 2009 macbook. I was trying to reinstall all my files from time machine but only 60 of the 200gb appeared.  What is my best course of action?
    Thanks

    No, there isn't any way to connect them, but it doesn't really make any difference - if you installed from disks, you use Software Update to keep it current. If you use the app store version, you download the latest update.
    The thing that probably matters is that your serial number represents your license to use the software.

    1. Be sure your drive is attached and mounted.
    2. If you have already written any data to the drive, back it up before proceeding to the next step.
    3. In the Finder, choose Go > Utilities. The /Applications/Utilities folder will open.
    4. Launch Disk Utility.
    5. Click the icon for your external hard drive in the sidebar on the left.
    6. Click the Erase tab along the top of the window.
    7. From the Volume Format menu, choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    8. Enter a name for the external hard drive in the Name field.

      I want upgrade my software to snow leopard. If I install it will I lose all my information on my computer?

    It is always a good idea to backup your data prior to ANY update/upgrade.
    That being said, 10.6 is designed to upgrade without the loss of data if you are moving from 10.4 or later.
