Lost Images-Time Machine-Backup??

Thinking I was Backed Up, I erased the Picture Folder.  Sadly, this erased iPhoto and 2500 images. I have restored 700.  I think the other images are in iPhoto Library#1.  When I try and restore this folder I get a message saying ``...you don´t have permission to access...`` I bet my images are in this folder that for some weird reason I cannot access.  Can anyone help figure out how to access this iPhoto Library#1???  Thanks,   Tim

Terence, Thanks for you response.
I have tried the whole thing: the iPhoto Folder in Pictures.  No joy.  I only get the 700.  There are another 2000 images somewhere.  Since there are 8GBs in that iPhoto Library#1 and I am not allowed permission to open it, I was guessing the missing images might be in there.  I have tried all  the ways that I can see of getting to those 8gigs.
Any ideas?  Thanks, Tim

  • Lost login keychain; Lost previous time machine backups with Lion install

    I downloaded Lion and it would not install on my 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4 gb 1067 mhz ddr3 Mid-2009 Macbook Pro.  I got the exclamation mark with hard disk irrepairable error.  I took it to the local Apple store.  They did a number of hardware tests and after several false calls saying it was ready (when I arrived to pick it up and tried to set up OS (select language etc) I got spinning beachball), I finally brought it home with Lion installed.  All seems well, and I restored the data from Time Machine backup done under Snow Leopard.  To my surprise, I find old versions of the login keychain - last updated 2010.  I had 2 separate time machine backups going back six months, but when I tried to browse one for the newer keychains, I find that all previous Time Machine backups have been removed and all I have is the Time Machine backup from Lion install.  So there are two related problems: one is that I lost keychain data and the other is that I can't restore from Time Machine backup since the only backups that seem to be there have restarted with Lion. Another factor, is that the technicians had to reset my user password in order to set up Lion and I subsequently changed it back to my own password. Any solutions to locating old time machine backups or restoring recent keychain entries?

    How so I know...
    Time machine preferences shows last known backup as NONE
    NOTE:  I found a section in the time machine prefs to use another backup file and all seems ok now
    Thx

  • Lost my time machine backups

    Updated my macbook to snow leopard (yes, behind the times) and now my external hard drive's time machine partition is grayed out. I have data on my old backups that I need. The genius bar suggested data recovery software, after we tried disk utility's repair function. What software will likely work to recover my time machine? The other partition in my external hard drive still works, but I removed that data to make sure it's safe.
    Thanks.

    Take a look at the Console app - select all messages and then put "backupd" (without quotes) in the search field - you might have to go back to compressed log files as it depends how long ago something changed. when you put something in the search field, only those messages that contain that string will show in the main window - hopefully this will give you all the things that involved backupd which is the process that runs when backups are done and a clue as to when and what happened
    Console.app is located in /Applications/Utilites

  • Aperture 3.4.3: Referenced images lost in time machine restore but previews remain

    Dear Aperture Community,
    I recently purchased a new iMac and used a time machine backup of my old iMac to move my files over to the new Mac. All seemed to work well, and I have been using my new iMac happily for a couple of weeks.
    I have Aperture 3.4.3 with about 40,000 photos in my database.
    However, I just noticed that a small handful of semi-recent photos (~100) have a badge showing that "The referenced image’s master has not been found" (the yellow triangle arrow badge). I tried "Locate Reference Files" for all photos to redirect to the new hard drive name, but that failed to locate the ~100 missing images. I tried to inspect the Aperture library by Control-clicking on the Aperture library and choosing Show Package Contents - indeed the ~100 images were not there, but the ~40k other images were.
    I can imagine that this issue may or may not be due to Time Machine, but I certainly never deleted any images. I always import my photos directly into Aperture.
    How can my thumbnails and high resolution previews of the 100 images still be visible in Aperture, and yet the masters be lost?
    I'd like to recover the images. Worst case, I will use Grab to capture the previews, which are of course much lower resolution than the originals, but at least I'll have something...
    Thanks for your help!

    thanks for the reply Frank:
    Masters.  I do not know.  I left it as the default.  I assume that means managed?
    Error message was the LONG error code with the jist of it being related to what sounds like a PLUGIN error. I don't have the EXACT coding right now as I am not home.  I've googled the code +/- other stuff on it and according to discussions here and elsewhere (albeit all archived), it looks like it was related to my plugins. 
    as far as the restore is concerned, I am POSITIVE that the restored library was the NEW library not the original.  But keep in mind, Time Machine only lets me restore the backup to the exact place where the file was before.  I am just worried that somehow Time Machine backup hosed my Aperture library somewhere along the way.  This is why I was wondering if there is something else I need to restore with my time machine backup besides the library file/database itself?
    Thanks for the quick reply.

  • How can I restore a single image from an aperture time machine backup, do I have to restore the entire library? that does not make sense

    I hope there has been found a more efficiant solution for this,  how can I restore a single image from an aperture time machine backup, I really hope I don't have to restore the entire library? that does not make sense
    any suggestions?

    Did you try browsing your backups in the Finder ?  That is, do not go and "Enter Time Machine".  Instead, navigate to your Time Machine backup via Finder and then manually go to the time period (by folder name) you are looking for ... when you find your Aperture library you can then "Show Package Contents" and find the Master you are looking for.

  • Time Machine Backup Error. Time machine could not delete the backup disk image .sparsebundle

    Time Machine is giving an error message.  Time Machine couldnt complete the backup.  I am using the Seagate GoFlex Home.  Error message states Time Machine could not delete the backup disk image "/volumes/Go Flex Home Backup/iMAc.sparsebundle".  Does anybody have any ideas?

    I have deleted all files in the Time Machine backup via Windows, Finder, and GoFlex UI.
    I think this is your problem.. you need to follow the exact setup from seagate to get TM running again.. please read the manual... I do not have one but I do have another brand of NAS and setting up TM involves a fairly complex set of instructions.. because it is not a native Apple device.. your computer does not recognise it as TM capable.. you need to use the work around the manual will explain.

  • Where is my I Photo Library in Time Machine Backups as I seem to have lost photos after installing Lion?

    Can anybody tell me how I can locate my photos from I Photo in the Time Machine backups as I seem to have lost most of 2011 after installing Lion.
    Many thanks

    To recover individual photos open iPhoto and use the File ➙ Browse Backups menu option.
    Click to view full size
    That will take you into iPhoto in Time Machine where you can search for the phtoos and restore them.
    To restore the entire library, close iPhoto, go to the Pictures folder, enter Time Machine, go back in time till you get the library you want to restore, select it and use the Restore button.

  • HT201250 Any ideas on how to recover my Time Machine backup with a lost password?

    I am trying to migrate my Time Machine backup to a new Macbook, but lost the Time machine administrator name and password.
    My old Macbook still connects to Time machine, so the information (administrator and password) is in that computer somewhwere - I just can't find it.
    Is there a way to find that information in my old machine or otherwise get into the Time Machine files?
    I am using a Seagate external drive connected to a wireless router.

    I have a similar problem.

    Did you ever find out how to reset the Time machine name and password? I would appreciate hearing from you.

  • HT3275 Time Machine backup not completed  because "the backup disk image ....sparsebundle already in use"

    Time Machine backup not completed because the "backup disk image"/Volumes/Data/MacBookAir.sparsebundle" is already in use. ??

    Reboot the TC.. this is most common issue since Mountain Lion.
    Look at the More Like This just on the right column.

  • Since upgrading to Lion, my time machine backups are failing - error message: The backup disk image "/Volumes/Jackie Scanlon's Time Caps/Jacqueline Drabczynska's MacBook.sparsebundle" could not be accessed (error -1). Any ideas?

    Since upgrading my Macbook to Lion, the time machine backups are failing - error message: "The backup disk image “/Volumes/Jackie Scanlon's Time Caps/Jacqueline Drabczynska’s MacBook.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1)."  I have rebooted the TIme Capsule and it worked OK, but don't want to do that every time.  Any suggestions?  Thanks

    Any new info on this? 
    I had the exact same problem and went crazy and spent a hecka lot of time trying to deal with my brand new 2TB Time Capsule and almost brand new MacBook Pro.  Then I thought I fixed it...and I tried SO MANY things, I don't really know what did it...except taking out any apostrophe's in names of stuff that Apple puts in there...BUT...now it's back.
    Grrr...

    Excellent apple networking on Lion or ML is usually the issue.
    Reboot the TC.. if that don't fix it.. reboot the whole network.. modem.. router.. TC.. clients.. restart in that order.
    There are tools.. download the real tool if you have lion..
    For ML you are stuck with toyland.. AU 6.1 .. good luck with the plastic hammer.

  • Time Machine Backups of Encrypted Disk Images, Part 2

    Hi:
    If Time Machine is backing up a hard drive that contains a subset encrypted disk image as part of its contents, and this encrypted disk image is mounted (in an unencrypted state) where the enclosed data has been changed/manipulated in any fashion, what and when does Time Machine backup?
    In other words, does the data in the encrypted disk image only change when the encrypted disk image is unmounted? Or is it somehow backed up real time even when the encrypted disk image is mounted on the desktop in an unencrypted state while Time Machine is working?
    Sorry I can't explain this very well, but hopefully the gist is clear.
    Thanks!
    (OS 10.8.2)

    Time Machine doesn't back up a disk image file while it's mounted, whether encrypted or not.

  • Should my Time Machine backup drive have a disk image on it?

    My Macbook Air recently went in for repairs and got a near-total refurbishing (thanks Apple!)—new logic board and new SSD drive. When I went to restore it, it turns out that my network-attached drive (on an AirPort Extreme) was NOT creating a reliable Time Machine backup, and had not been, since last April, even though the Time Machine menu bar tool would regularly report that a Time Machine backup was complete.
    Meanwhile, I also had a second, portable drive that I would periodically plug in and run a Time Machine backup on as well; it was more current (early February), so I didn't lose too much work. But Time Machine wouldn't recognize that drive to let me restore from scratch the way that I've done with Time Machine before. I could go in and pull files from it manually, which I did, but how tedious! What I ended up doing was restoring from last April from one drive, then pulling over newer files from the other drive.
    Obviously I'd like to avoid this sort of thing in the future. Now, as I'm making some changes to how I do all of this (I bought a new super-small portable drive that will be my main Time Machine backup; I no longer trust network-attached storage to work flawlessly with Time Machine, at least if it's not an Apple Time Capsule), I want to make sure that my backups are reliable.
    In the process of all of this, I noticed that the old Time Machine backup (the one on the NAS) had a disk image on it, while the other drive didn't. I've just finished running the first round of Time Machine on the new drive, and there is NO disk image.
    Thus, my question: is this disk image required for Time Machine to work the way it is supposed to in a catastrophic loss and restore? And if so, how do I "force" Time Machine to create this image on my new drive?

  • Time Machine backups to OS X Server 10.8 fail with "The backup disk image "Volumes/Backup6/macname.sparsebundle" is already in use" Error

    Connecting about 100 Macs running Mavericks and about half of them are getting "The backup disk image "Volumes/Backup6/macname.sparsebundle" is already in use" error. 
    Screenshot -
    https://www.evernote.com/shard/s87/sh/d03288e2-4ad7-4466-957b-2b9b4fcdea55/71afa 07540fd89e5f9a7eabfc96b4f1e
    This was happening with our 10.8 environment and when we migrated to Mavericks, I rebuilt the OS X MacMini Server. Seems worse now with 10.9
    Most discussions advise in restarting TimeCapsule or network device.  However restarting OS X Server everyday is not a solution.  Any advice in resolving this issue is appreciated.
    Thanks!  Corbin

    I also had to restart the server and client after applying the "fix" I described above. Basically, no user should have multiple, simultaneous file sharing sessions on the server. But even clearing the user sessions does not resolve the problem beyond the next Time Machine backup, so I also tried disabling and enabling file sharing, but the problem also returns after doing this. Only restarting both the client and server after clearing the sessions has worked for me when I have this problem. The problem may return much later, but this work aroudn definitely works as a temporary solution.
    Next time I encounter this problem I will try restarting just the server or just the client, because it is unlikely that the problem exists due to something on both systems. Server 3.x is definitely not as stable as it should be, but for my use, it is getting the job done.
