    Normally, AirPort Utility is not used or needed to set up Time Machine backups......unless a default setting on the Time Capsule to Enable File Sharing has been changed.
    On the other hand, if you open AirPort Utility, a picture of the Time Capsule should be displayed. Are you saying here that the Time Capsule does not appear when you open AirPort Utility?

    Hi Gary,
    I never use TM myself...
    Have you looked through Pondini's extensive TM help site?

  • TS4083 Lost notes and contacts.

    I recently seem to have lost all my notes which I thought were saved on the iCloud, however nothing is there as far as I can tell.  I also just lost my favorites, also saved-I thought.  Any suggestions, thank you.

    For notes and contacts, you can use a computer's browser to log into icloud.com and check the notes and contacts pages.  If empty, then they are gone.  Your only hope is if you've been making backups to either itunes or icloud.  If so you can perform a restore, which will wipe the device first and then download the backed up data.  In the process you will lose whatever data you created since the last backup.

    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your phone.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your phone is new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

  • Cannot restore an older version of photo library from time machine

    I save my photos to an external drive and back up to another drive using time machine.  My photo drive has become corrupted (hard disc failing).  I have gone into Timemachine and chosen an earlier photo library backup version (some months ago) and a new replacement external drive for the photo library, but when I then restore to this new drive, Time Machine advances to the most recent backup (with missing photos), and not my chosen backup, and saves this to the new drive. Is thi snot possible, or am I doing soething wrong?   iphoto8, 7.1.5  & snow leopard, 10.6.8.
    iMac (24-inch Mid 2007), Mac OS X (10.6.8)

    As a test, try restoring it to your computer and if successful, then copy the file to the external.

    How did you try to restore from Time machine?  Like described in this document? This should work, if your Time Machine backups are complete:
    iPhoto '11: Restoring from Time Machine with iPhoto '11 (9.2 or later) and OS X Lion 10.7.2 (or later) - Apple Support
    Earlier Time Machine versions had a glitch and could not make a full backup of an iPhoto Library, if iPhoto was open during backup.
    I am not sure about your iPhoto version, but previous iPhoto versions could browse a Time Machine backup directly from iPhoto. Look for a "Browse Backup" backup item in iPhotos Help. Use this to restore the missing photos.

  • I upgraded to Yosemite and new Numbers.  Can not use my spreadsheet and can not find it.  How do I retrieve from time machine a previous backup?

    I just upgraded to Yosemite on a MacBook Pro and also needed to upgrade Numbers.  However, I can not get a spreadsheet that I had prior to this.  I did backup to time machine.  How do I now restore to get that spreadsheet?

    Open the folder you thought it was in and Enter Time Machine. Go back in time until your find it.
    You can also use the search field in the Finder window in Time Machine to search for the file.

  • Missing songs and Playlists: how to restore from Time Machine

    Here's my story. I synced my iPod a week ago before vacation (and this was backed up with Time Machine). When I returned and launched iTunes, I found that all my playlists and podcasts had disappeared. I also noticed that on my iPod I had ~4500 songs; iTunes has only 4100, so I'm missing about 400 songs.
    If I open up Time Machine and restore my my whole iTunes folder (in User>Music) will that, theoretically, restore all my songs?
    If I've added new Music to iTunes (that wasn't in the TM backup), will those songs be over-written by the week-old backup?
    It's too tedious (and not at all obvious) which songs are missing, so hoping Time Machine can come to my rescue.
    Thanks!

    You can do the following. in "view options" in iTunes add a column "date added". sort by that column and back up all the songs added since the time of the last backup. quit itunes and restore the old library and the old itunes preference file. start itunes and import the songs you've backed up.
    Thanks!

  • 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.

    I'm no Lion expert, but I believe you can boot from the Recovery partition by pressing the Command and R keys on startup, then reinstall.
