Mount time machine, how to open and recover .inprogress file

so this is how i fixed and mounted a time machine capsule ( it was extended journaled Case-sensitive) to MacBook Pro ( non-case sensitive) and recovered files from .inprogress file. for me it worked like a charm and lets see if this can help you too.
Found a way to figure it out! (mount drive). So I went to my gf's laptop and created a new backup file for her ( just the file or a new sparsebundle. the info.plist , token and info.bckup are the files that we need from here ). If no mac is available, create a new backup in pc but it has to be to the same time capsule ( the files that we need and create will point and tell the sparse bundle a new path to time capsule ) To het there you go to the sparse bundle Dmg, right click and go to "show contents". So this is how i change it, I open 2 finder windows and got each sparse bundle in it ( old one or damaged and new one), righ click on both > show contents and then replace these files from the new one to the damaged one ( info.plist , token and info.bckup ). That's it. The time machine at least mounted on my desktop and could see the files. Now for opening the .inprogress file; go to Automator >new workflow > and drag in this order; get selected finder items, get folder contents and open finder items. While the .inprogress file i selected, press "run" or play button in Automator. That's it. Now you may try to drag to desktop but it will say "the volume has the wrong case sensitive for a backup" but you should have access. Now for copying or move to somewhere; get another hard drive ( external) and format it to the same as time capsule ( extended journaled case sensitive is my case), once it's done, right click and go to info> at the bottom uncheck "ignore ownership" and close it. Now you can copy from .inprogress file to just formatted hard drive and from hard drive to laptop. Here's the annoying part; it will treat it as a special folder ( when you paste it in you desktop it's gonna ask for password, if you wanna move it somewhere else it's going to do it as well. But at least you can recover the file ) . once this process It's done just reformat your time capsule.
Cheers,

well, after you transfer everything to new hard drive and to avoid the putting a password everytime you move the folders, richt click on drive > get info > check again the "ignore ownership" option and you shouldnt have any problems transfering back folders

How to open and read binary files?

How do I open and read Binary files?

Did you look on The Unarchiver's web site where it has a link to older versions? http://theunarchiver.googlecode.com/files/TheUnarchiver3.2_legacy.zip
The best thing to do is ask your friends what programs they used to produce these files, or at least what format files they are producing. Otherwise it's like being shown a car and given a bundle of 200 keys with no idea to which one to use, or even if any of them work with that car.
Using The Unarchiver will likely not do anything because it too will not know what format files are involved, and they may not even been in an archived format. If they sent you a Word file without telling you (a favorite of Windows users to do -- it drives me crazy when they could have just sent them in plain text), The Unarchiver won't open them. If it's a picture file then using Hexedit will just show you a bunch of unintelligible stuff as shown in an earlier post, though you may see a line of text providing a hint.
As I said earlier, often .bin may be an executable program which needs another program to actually interpret it. That's what Java is trying to do. Still, it may think it can execute the file, but it is highly unlikely somebody would send you an executable program (and if they did I would not trust it). For all you know it may be a Windows virus.

How to open and read many files from a directory and store contents in 2D array?

I want to make a VI that opens and reads the data from various files contained in a directory (200 files each with 2 columns) and store these in a single 2D array. For file number 1 I want to store the data from both columns in the 2D array, but for files 2 to 200 I only want to store the second column of each file. Can someone please help?

Hi Nadav,
Thanks for your help. I have followed your instructions but i cannot get it to work. I used the LIST DIRECTORY to list the files in the directory - that works. However, how do I read each of the 200 files using READ FROM SPREADSHEET FILE without me having to manually select each of the 200 files? So, if I use LIST DIRECTORY to list all 200 files in an array, how do I get each of these to open and store the data in a 2D array? Here is what I have done (File called read_files.VI) Could you please help me? Thank you very much in advance.

How to open and edit CRP files?

Hi,
at my workplace I see the following folders:
C:\Program Files\Novell\ZENworks\Asset Management\bin\UsageLogs
In this folder I see secret files like: 20090115.CRP and 20090115-web.CRP
Each days ZenWorks create this 2 files.
How can I open and edit it? Which software have to install at home for check it? I'm interested in very much what contain this files...
Thanks,

Those files would be software usage metering files. There is no software to the best of my knowledge that opens those files. They are loaded automatically by the collection server into the database.

Full restore from Time Machine - how do I get most recent files back???

Hi all,
I've had some major problems with my hard-disk today (Disk Utility complaining about all sorts of things and not being able to repair them) so I thought I'll just wipe my disk and restore from back-up.
But: when I was asked to choose a backup the most recent one was from 7th November. It said that only full backups are shown (and incremental backups are not shown...). Well, since I had no choice anymore, I selected the most recent one and hoped I could get things back again later. But I'm now struggling to find a decent way of doing this:
All the more recent versions are on the time machine disk - I can see the files in the different folders. But in Time Machine itself, I cannot select any of the back-ups from between 7th November and now - they are shown to exist, but they are greyed out.
Is there any way to return to my most recent state other than restoring the whole thing one-by-one from dozens of different folders?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance!
Sebastian

No, incomplete backups are not shown, including backups that failed, were cancelled, or were made with System files excluded. Other than that, all TM backups are, in effect, full ones.
All the more recent versions are on the time machine disk - I can see the files in the different folders. But in Time Machine itself, I cannot select any of the back-ups from between 7th November and now - they are shown to exist, but they are greyed out.

Could you have renamed your internal HD on or about November 7? That's one possible explanation for what you're seeing. If so, TM would treat it as a separate disk: there would have been two disks listed in the pop-up menu above the list of available backups (item e. in the green box in #14 of the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip* at the top of this forum).
If that's a possibility, boot up from your SL Install disc again, and go through the process that far. If you find two disk names listed there, select the other one and see what dates are available. If you find your recent backups, do the restore again from one of them.
If not, reboot normally, then try the +*Browse . . .+* Option, per #17 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip* at the top of this forum.
Restore what you need from the latest backup you can find that way. That will get the most recent version of everything. You can't restore your home folder that way, but you can restore each sub-folder and it's contents that way.

How to open and play .exe file in Mac?

I am a new Mac user from of course Windows. I have a CD product catalogue which comes in a .exe format. There seemed no way that I can view the contents in Mac.
Does anyone have any solution for this?
Any help is most appreciate

As Thomas A Reed points out, an exe file is a windows application. I don't know why a product catalog would be in an exe file but I suppose it's possible. It seems more likely that the exe file is an application that either downloads the catalog or opens and displays a disk file containing the catalog; in the latter case you may already have the actual product catalog on your disk drive. Your might try using Spotlight to search for files with names containing key words related to your product catalog name. You also could use Spotlight to search file contents for key words you may recall from the catalog contents. Finally, is this possible: Use your old Windows PC or borrow one and run your "product catalog." While it is running, check for an option to export the information you need to a file in a format (say, text) that is readable on your Mac.

How to open and edit "*.txt" file with "Notepad"

Hello guys!
I'm facing problem with SharePoint 2010 Enterprise and got no clue how to solve it.
What I want to do is to open "*.txt" (which is placed to "Documents Library") in "Notepad", so I could edit it and save (publish) directly to SharePoint from "Notepad".
If I upload any Microsoft office File, such as "*.docx", "*.xls", etc - it works as it should - document opens in appropriate application and everybody is happy.
But, when I create documents library, put some "*.txt" file there and click on it - it opens in new browser's tab as text, so I cannot edit the file.
What I tried to do is to activate feature "Open Documents in Client Applications by Default" - not happy.
Edit "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\XML\DOCICON.XML" - I've modified "txt" entry as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<DocIcons>
    <ByProgID>
    </ByProgID>
    <ByExtension>
<Mapping Key="txt" Value="ictxt.gif" EditText="Notepad" OpenControl="SharePoint.OpenDocuments"/>
    </ByExtension>
    <Default>
        <Mapping Value="icgen.gif"/>
    </Default>
</DocIcons>
Still not happy.
So, how do I make this stuff work?

Found this link which has more information on this scenario:

How to open and winzip repair file?

I have a problem. Zip archiv write error: unexpected end of file during unpacking on 60 %.

The program has a standard 7zip restore function, try using it or try to open with Winrar.
You can use the recovery files (the menu WinRAR> Operations> Restore archive) or call the same function key combination <Alt + R>. Restore to WinRAR is permissible only files compressed in archives in RAR and ZIP.
If none of this does not help you, use Zip Repair Toolbox

Download pdf = how to open and not save file

hi
in my app i have to download a file. at the beginning the file is called with blazeds as a ByteArray.
var saveReference:FileReference = new FileReference();
saveReference.save(pdfByteArray, 'Report.pdf');
i like to open an application associated on the Operation System when the user download the file. eg download the report.pdf => the pdf reader opens.
i tried hard but could not find a way to force this, in my app the save file dialog opens.
the only report similar to mine i could find:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/569350/flex-filereference-download-is-it-possible-to-op en-associated-application/569596
maybe you could help me. thanks
joe

Don't think it's possible, due to security reasons (instantly being able to run a downloaded file spells out massive problems).
there is a topic here:
http://www.justskins.com/forums/download-file-open-pdf-from-flex-ui-87457.html
which seems similar to yours.
As they say in that topic though, you could just have a link that opens a new window to the PDF.

How can I enter time machine and recover my Files.

I recently had to take my imac in for the seagate replce issue that Apple had, and recieved my machine back with a new drive and OS on it. When I plug in my external drive with my backed up time machine files, I am still unable to enter time machnie and recover the files. Please experts give me some help.

See Pondini's TM FAQs for starters.

How can I get my time machine to allow me to recover files again? After upgrading to OS X, the time machine still backs up the files; but, I'm not able to navigate within the time machine or select any folders or files for restore.

How can I get my time machine to allow me to recover files again?
After upgrading MBA to OS X, the time machine still backs up the files; but, I'm not able to navigate within the time machine or select any folders or files for restore.
I've searched and can not find a solution to the problem that's being encountered.

Yeap that all makes sense now.
Do you only have the current backup showing in the TM display?? Won't it fill in the rest?
Over wireless are you waiting for the indexing to finish.. ??
Previous backup may not show for a couple of hours.
Long short of it.. Mavericks version of TM is a pain.
Sometimes it is easier to completely ignore the TM backup and do the restore manually.
I have posted the details here. See if this helps.
Can't access old files on time capsule

I install LION on my mac pro 2008 and it's alway's pop with " there was a problem connecting to the server " Time Capsule" .How can i remove this popup. My Time machine is working fine and also rename it. But the popup keeps on coming with the old name.

I installed LION on my mac pro 2008 and it's alway's pop with " there was a problem connecting to the server " Time Capsule" .How can i remove this popup. My Time machine is working fine and also rename it with less than 7 karakters. But the popup keeps on coming with the old name.

I have a BT Infinity router plugged into the Time Capsule, not sure where the radio settings are?
They are able to use the network settings of the TC i.e. they can connect to the internet via the wifi through the TC but when they try and connect to the AirPort Disk this is where it is not allowing a connection.
I don;t have the drive shared out at all at the moment, is this necessary? How do I do this if so?
I have attached the screen shots of all the settings.
Thanks again for your help.
