Is it possible to view/compare two Time Machine desktop dates at the same time?

I accidentally lost a file on my desktop, inadvertently dragging it onto my browser. I don't know what file I lost, and would like to retrieve it through my Time Machine. I don't want to replace all of the files on my desktop, but I would like to compare the files from two different dates (current date and last time saved) to discover the file I lost. If there's an easier way to make this discovery, I'm open for suggestions. Otherwise, I wonder if there's a way to see or compare my current files on desktop vs. my last save to Time Machine (without printing out a list).
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hey apple_peeler,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you want to find out what is now missing by comparing it with other backups. The Restoring data from Time Machine backups section explains how you can do that.
Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
You can use the timeline on the right side of the window to reach a certain point back in time. The timeline shows the times of all backups on your backup drive. If you don’t know exactly when you deleted or changed a file, you can use the back arrow to let Time Machine automatically travel through time to show you when that folder last changed.
Have a nice day,
Mario

Back up Mac Server with Time Machine Server installed on the same Time Machine Server

I want to back up several Workstations (“Workstations 1-4” in diagram below) and a Mac OS X Server (“MacMini Server” in diagram below) that runs “Time Machine Server” on that same “Time Machine Server.”
Is this possible?
The MacMini server doesn’t seem to find the “Time Machine Server” for backups. I read that this is due to the fact that Time Machine backups via network are organized in another way than “normal” Time Machine backups are.
MacOS server is running MacOS 10.8.5 with server app v2.2.1(169)-
workstations are running 10.10.1, 10.9.5 and 10.8.4

The Time Capsule and Time Machine will automatically keep backups for each Mac separate.
A user on one Mac will not be able to "see" the backups of the other Mac.
You can add a few more Macs if you wish. 4 or 5 Macs would probably be a practical limit, depending on the size of the hard drive in the Time Capsule.

Can I export my sidecar files to two or more hard drives at the same time from one computer?

Can I export my sidecar files to two or more hard drives at the same time from one computer? How do I do this, if it is possible?

Each image is imported into the LR Catalog from just one stated location on disk. And that is where the sidecar gets written.
But if you want, outside of LR, you can have a file sync utility replicate all physical changes within those folders on disk, into other corresponding locations on other drives - which hold a copy of all the same images, and a copy of the sidecars too. This might happen continuously, periodically or on demand depending on the particular tool you use... for example, the Dropbox desktop app.
If you also want to have your LR Catalog replicated, I think this can only be done when LR is not running and using that.

Is it possible to output to div monitor and s-video at the same time?

I'm editing video and want to see the broadcast results on the fly (ie monitor and tv side by side, same image onscreen). Is it possible to output to div monitor and s-video at the same time? Maybe thru a splitter cable. I'm concerned about resolution issues.

This is not possible with a mini.

I connect both hard disks that get power from power supply normally. Also have ever changed the format as GUID. Which always use the power cord . I felt confusion why the issue just happened connect both hard disks with extra power at the same time. If i used one hard disk connect to firewire port . Another firewire port connect other firewire device . No problem at all.

Is it possible to make 2 time machine back-ups on the same disk

Hi, i have 2 MacBook Pros, I have a time machine back-up for the newer one on my 500GB hard drive
I went to boot camp my other mac and it says I have to format the hard-drive, so I want to back everything on the old mac up, is it possible to make a seperate time machine back-up on the same external hard drive as I don't want to overwrite the back-up for my new mac? How can I do this
Thanks

you might have mentioned this before, but once I have partitioned my external drive, how can I go about re-formatting the old mac hard drive and then restoring my data back onto it?
You don't have to re-format it first; you need to erase and restore to "pack" everything into the first part of the drive so there's enough room on the rest of it for +Boot Camp+ to make a partition.
See #14 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
Then use +Boot Camp+ to make the second partition.
Also, would it be better to run the OS X install disc, re-format the hard drive, and then when running setup assistant migrate all my information from the time machine back-up?
No. You'd have to install OSX, then use +Setup Assistant,+ then download and install the "combo" update (and other updates) to get back to the version of OSX you're running. And you might have to re-authorize and/or reinstall some 3rd-party apps.
If i do this, at the moment Im running snow leopard but the install disc is simply leopard, will this matter once I've migrated all my data across?
Do not use a Leopard Install disc to restore a Snow Leopard backup. It can copy everything, but the result either won't start or will kernel panic on startup. You must use a Snow Leopard Install disc.
(And please update your signature, via the +My settings+ link at the right.)

One Acrobat XI Standard License on two desktop Computers at the same time?

Hey,
I am a bit confused, according to http://www.adobe.com/be_en/products/acrobatstandard/faq.html one license on 2 PCs are OK.
But according to http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/end-user-license-agreements-faq.html and several threads I got via google one license on 2 PCs are limited.
What is right now? I need it for 2 desktop PCs in one company, and they do have to work at the same time of course.
greetings

If you need the two installations to be used at the same time then you need to purchase two licenses. A single user license is exactly that, a single user at a time.

Remote and direct update of master data at the same time

How can I do to acquire and save date in the same time and in the same file when I run continual my VI without interruption.

I've attached a VI that I am using to acquire amplitude from Spectrum analyzerse. I tried to connect amplitude ouput to the VI Write Characters To File.vi and Write to Spreadsheet File.vi. Unfortunately when I run continual this VI without interruption, labview ask me many time to enter a new file name to save a new value.
So, How can I do to aquire and save date in the same time and in the same file when I run continual my VI for example during 10 min.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Your VI does work perfectly. Unfortunately this not what I want to do. I've made error in my last comment. I am so sorry for this.
So I explain to you again what I want to do exactly. I want to acquire amplitude along road by my vehicle. I want to use wheel signal coming from vehicle to measure distance along road. Then I acquire 1 amplitude each 60 inches from spectrum analyzer.
I acquire from PC parallel port a coded wheel signal coming from vehicle (each period of the signal corresponds to 12 Inches). Figure attached shows the numeric signal coming from vehicle, and the corresponding values “120” and “88” that I can read from In Port vi.
So I want to acquire 1 time amplitude from spectrum analyser each 5
period of the signal that I am acquiring from parallel port.
So fist I have to find how can I count the number of period from reading the values “120” and “88” that I am acquiring from In Port (I don’t know the way to count a number of period from reading values “120” and “88”).
Here is a new algorithm.
1) i=0 (counter: number of period)
2) I read value from In Port
3) If I acquire a period
i= i+1 (another period)
4) If i is multiple of 5 (If I read 5 period)
acquire 1 time amplitude and write to the same
file this amplitude and the corresponding distance
Distance = 12*i). Remember each period of signal
Corresponds to 12 Inches).i has to take these
values: 5,10,15,20,25,35,40,45,50,55,60............
5) Back to 2 if not stop.
Thank you very much for helping me.

Before I answer your questions, let me first just say thank you so much for your amazing patience and helpfulness. Whether or not we get to the bottom of this, I am very, very grateful to you.
We will get to the bottom of it, and you're quite welcome. Don't feel you ought to know all this stuff -- none of us were born with it!
By the way, in answer to your original question, yes, you can use the Time Capsule while backups are running. There's no conflict at all.
1) Estimated size of full backup: 205.94 GB
2) My LaCie has available: 11.04 GB of 359.95 GB
That's part of the problem right there; 360 GB is a bit small to back up 206 GB. Ordinarily, a Time Machine drive should be 2-3 times the size of the data it's backing-up, so Time Machine can keep a reasonable "depth" of old backups for you.
It looks like Time Machine is trying to do a fairly large backup, and there just isn't enough room for it.
But something doesn't quite add up. Time Machine should have deleted all but your most recent backup, trying to make room for the new one. But that would mean there should only be a bit less than 206 GB on the disk, not 360.
A clue may be lurking in your logs. Use the widget in #1 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting to display the backup messages from your logs. Locate the backup in question, then copy and post all the messages here.

Time Machine could not complete the backup "Time Capsule". Unable to access disk image backup "/ Volumes / Time Capsule / iMac.sparsebundle" (error 112). How can I repair it?

Its is possible to use two embedded instances of OC4J at the same time?

Hi,
I need to run two web apps at the same time in JDeveloper. Each on must run in its own OC4J instance, in different ports. I don't want to run a remote OC4J instance, I want two embedded instances and JDeveloper 10g comes just with one.
Wny ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Brian

Brian,
no, there is only one embedded OC4J instance possible. The option is to install OC4J stand alone locally.
