My History became cleared after a power-cut - can I find it in Time Machine ?

Normally, after a forced quit, Firefox restores all open websites. After a power-cut, this did NOT happen ... when I looked in History I found it completely empty (although I did not clear it).
I have Time Machine on my Mac ... but where do I look to restore the History ?

How have you searched in Time Machine?
If you can't recover them from there, the you'll need a file recovery application like File Salvage
Note that you won't be able to recover the Library the best you can hope is to recover the photos. The can by the file recovery software may find many files with the same name. In all cases choose to recover the largest file.

  • After the install I can't find the Run Time

    This seems ridiculous.  I generated an executable with the installer (2009) and installed it on a pc and everything worked great.  I now tried to install on a 2nd pc and although the N.I. Run Time folders are apparent, I can't find the button to push to get the Run Time running.  Is there a main file that I should be clicking?
    Solved!

    Your statement makes little sense, maybe you can clarify it for us. (What are "N.I Run Time folders"? What is the meaning of "apparent"?, etc.)
    The run-time engine is not something that needs to be started by pressing a button. All you do is run the executable applications, and it will silently and automatically find and use the correct run time engine. Could you show us a screenshot on what you are looking for?
    (Also, built LabVIEW applications should not show the toolbar with the run button of the development system, because they should run when openend and close when done.)

    If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
    Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

  • HT2810 Apple HD Cinema Display will not come back on after brief power cut.

    My Apple HD cinema display won't come back after a brief power cut.
    There is the little white power light on the front which pulses on three times and then extinguishes, repeatedly.
    The Mac itself seems to power up although it's hard to tell if it's bboting properly, as I cannot see anything on the screen.
    There is power going to both units so I have no idea what is happening.

    This sounds like a very common problem.  If the blinks are one short, one longer, one short..... long pause... repeat.... start searching this forum.   There are also Youtube videos on solving it.  If this is the problem, the solution is easy.  You block both center pins on the 10 pin power connector.   Its crazy but it works.  
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2086442?start=30&tstart=0
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vodDfic8omA
    I just used a very thin strip of paper folded in half and slipped into the display's connector so it covers ONLY the two center contacts, then slip it into the power module very carefully.  Make sure there is some slack in the paper as otherwise it will tear and the contact will still be made.  If it doesn't work at first, try again as the paper made have torn in process.   It would be better to use something stonger like a very thin strip of mylar.   Or you can do what the video shows, but I didn't try that exactly.

  • Picture flickers on and off after a power cut - seems locked

    Just had a power cut in the street and when I turn my apple TV on now the home menus come up on the screen for 2 seconds then disappear for 5, then this repeats.
    The remote won't scroll along although it seems to be paired but more concerened about why the flickering is occuring as I can't use the device.
    Any help?

    Try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds, or resetting it using the reset option under general. You should also try restarting your router.

  • After a power cut macbook pro won't backup to time capsule

    The power supply was interupted for a few hours and since then every time my macbook pro attempts to connect via wifi I get the following message, "Time machine could not complete the backup. The backup disc image '/Voloumes/Data/Iain Watson's MacBook Pro.sparsebundle' could not be accessed (error1)"
    I have tried to back up using ethernet cable again and the same message occurs.
    Can anyone advise me what to do?
    thanks,
    Iain

    Just a reboot of the network.. bad power can cause things to lock up.
    Start in correct order.. modem .. TC .. Clients. 2min gap.. this is assuming the simplest possible setup.
    If you still have issues check the troubleshooting here.

  • System Preferences stuck after Yosemite upgrade- advice on reverting to Maverick from Time Machine backup?

    I just upgraded to Yosemite from Maverick overnight on my mid 2012 MacBook air via app store.  On first boot up this morning, I did NOT choose to encrypt my hard drive or use iCloud during set-up. I was proceeding thru the set-up steps, then got an unresponsive iCloud system preferences window, with a small drop down window to set up an apple id, asking for birthday, security questions, etc.  I have an apple id, and drop down is too small to reveal security questions or allow me to respond.  Quit didn't work, and I started trolling this support site to find out what to do.  I finally managed to force quit it just now. I am NOT a power user, I use my computer for email, photo organization, internet surfing, and some docs and spreadsheets. (I retired and switched to MAC to avoid all the microsoft BS, and haven't looked back. :-)
    After reading all the posts here of people having trouble with yosemite on my critical uses, (email, etc) and the complicated answers to fix things, I am really out of my league. My goal now is to get to where I was last night before the upgrade, and wait until Apple fixes the many issues people are discovering before trying Yosemite again.  I did do a complete Time Machine backup prior to the upgrade.  My questions:
    1.  What issues, if any, are people having after reverting back to Mavericks after a Time Machine recovery?
    2.  Are there any special instructions to do this restore that are not in the standard restore instructions? Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support
    I am a bit concerned to move forward, so any advice or re-assurance will enable me to take the next step.  I am gonna hang out and see what I hear before I take the plunge to time machine restore!

    Yes, Mavericks has smashed people's old backups.. start a new backup in a different location.. or archive off the old backup from the TC onto a USB drive.. wipe the drive and start again. You can then access the backups on the USB any time you want.. plug it into the computer and use TM to look at the files.
    Spend a bit of time reading how TM works.
    And what you can do with it.
    http://pondini.org/TM/Home.html
    Even if you just skim through FAQ.. check out how to mount TM backups from another mac..(effectively your old Mountain Lion install is another mac).

    Keeping your old backup intact makes good sense.. !!

  • After installing Mavericks my Business Mail folder disappeared and Time Machine can't seem to restore it with everything in it. How can I fix this?

    Time Machine doesn't restore my Business Folder in Mail, which is empty after I installed Mavericks. It will restore just the folder but nothing in it. What am I doing wrong? Also, Time Machine doesn't go back more than about a year. I thought it would do better than that.

    Michael - Thanks! I used my wife's iBook, and it did indeed allow me to restore it there.
    Unfortunately, now when I plug my nano into my Cube, it is still telling me that some of the tunes don't copy onto my iPod (in fact, none of them do) because I don't have the current software, and to install the latest by going to apple.com, blah, blah, blah.
    I DO indeed have the latest software and both iTunes and my Cube recognize the nano. I just can't get it to copy them onto it.
    Does anyone have an idea as to what I can do to actually get MUSIC to play ut of this thing! I've had it for a week and a half, and something as simple as getting tunes to load onto it is proving to be the hardest process ever! Arggghhhh!
    The only thing I could think of - and this was late last night, was tha looking at the specs of iTunes 5.0.1, is that it requires a 500MHz processor - and my Cube only has a 450 MHz PowerPC G4 processor - Can anyone tell me if this is the problem?

  • I'm new to audio books. After buying on iTunes can't find or play the book/file on my ios7

    I can't find my audio book after purchasing using iOS 7. I understand with old iOS it was located in music app under More. Have tried buying again but no joy. Can't see it in my purchased section either........

    Same problem.After 30 min figured it out.
    For me:
    hooked up iphone 5 to imac
    Updated ios7
    updated itunes
    downloaded audible.com app and signed in/registered
    went to books tab on iphone while still plugged in
    manual dowload selected audiobooks on syn audiobooks.
    sync and dowload onto iphone
    turned off iphone
    restarted
    audiobooks were under more in music icon on iphone.
    Rather long and silly-but worked.Just had to now redownload all my music as it erased music.
    Seems you can not manually sync music,and audio books-its one or the other.When you click on,the other goes off.Just had to do it sequentially.What made apple a great company seems to be slowly eroding.

  • Can't restore folders from Time Machine after Lion

    Hello guys,
    after upgrading to Lion 10.7.1 I can't seem able to restore some old folders from Time Machine
    Here's what happens: I log in TM, I can scroll through my old backups, I can choose the folders I want to restore, I can click on the folder, but when the systems tries to restore it, it stops saying that I don't have the privileges to access file A in the folder (and then all the procedure is stopped).
    Oddly (at least for me) if I try to restore just that same file A (and not the whole folder) that I should have no privileges for, from the same old backup, I can do it, but I have to give the system my password: It pops up a window saying something "Finder is willing to make some modification, can you authorize?"  (forgive i'm translating the alert from another language) and then I can restore it.
    Has anybody else this problem and how can be solved?
    Many thanks
    Ps: I did a simple upgrade on Lion, no partition, no blank disk, and never changed anything in my user preferences, it's always the same, administrator
    Pps: Before Lion I could restore easily exactly the same folders and files I tried to restore with Lion

    But if I transfer everything with the Setup Assistant, won't I once again be experiencing the problems I had?
    If the problems were caused by your data. But that's extremely unlikely. It may have been an app, or, much more likely from your description, something corrupted in the Leopard OS. That's one of the problems with upgrading a sick system without knowing what or where the causes are. It's a bit like a brain surgeon operating on himself: if he isn't in tip-top shape to start with, his condition is likely to change, and not for the better.
    Most of us would have recommended first simply doing a +*Repair Disk+* on your internal HD; if that didn't help, installing the "combo" Leopard update; if that didn't work, doing an +Archive and Install+ and re-installing the "combo."
    After a clean re-install of Snow Leopard, my Mac worked fine again (except for the TM trouble). So it probably had something to do with my old files.
    Probably not. Much more likely OSX was somehow damaged. And you got a whole new one.
    How come I could read the files on my external HD and yet not be able to copy the files?
    Time Machine uses special "deny everybody everything" permissions on it's backups, among other things, in an attempt to keep us mere mortals from moving, changing, or deleting things and corrupting them.

  • Can't restore system (with Time Machine) after Hard Drive recall

    Hi, so first a bit of history...
    - Purchased my  iMac in 2010
    - Upgraded iMac to Mountain Lion in 2012 (I downloaded it so don’t have install disks)
    - iMac hard drive was recalled 2013 (Seagate 1TB) – before taking the iMac back, I made sure Time Machine was up to date
    I got my iMac back yesterday – I’ve now tried to restore it twice from the Time Machine. On both occasions the progress bar has got close to the end, then just frozen.
    Any ideas? I’m wondering if the Mac store restore these recalled Macs with the original OSX it was purchased with, and since my back-ups have been on a newer OSX that might be it. But even if that is the problem, I have no idea how to fix it.
    It may have been answered already, but I can’t find any same questions on here.

  • After renaming clips, where can I find the original name?

    Hi
    Sorry, I asked this before but got an answer more about custom naming. So...
    After importing my dslr clips with their uninformative date and time names, I often rename them so I can tell what's on them. But sometimes I want to know the original name which doesn't seem to be in the 'Info' panel anymore since I renamed it. I can 'Reveal in Finder' which will show the original clip but you'd think FCPX, since it keeps track of the clip, must have the name squirreled away somwhars. Anybody know?

    elmer

    Thanks for the reply.
    I don't get where you mean. I see where to apply a custom name, I'm saying, after I've changed the name either in the Browser or Info panel, I don't see where the original name is and I'm asking where I can still find the original name in FCPX.
    I know I can "reveal in Finder' to see the original clip with its name but there must be another way in FCPX itself.

  • Recovering bookmarks and reading list after upgrading to OS X Mavericks; no help from Time Machine

    Hi,
    I upgraded to OS 10.9 Mavericks today. Everything seems fine thus far, except for Safari's bookmarks and reading list. Bizarrely, ONE of my old bookmarks was left on the bookmarks bar, while all other bookmarks (except those pre-loaded by Apple) and the entire reading list are wiped.
    I'm aware of the path for finding the plist (~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist) — however: Time Machine won't let me go back to before the OS X upgrade. The windows all backups before the upgrade are completely black. As far as I can tell, this goes for all files, not just those in the Library.
    My browsing history was preserved. Also, I head iCloud enabled for Safari.
    I'm stumped. Any suggestions?

    While in Time Machine, press the key combination shift-command-C. The front window will show all mounted volumes. All snapshots should now be accessible. Select the one you want and navigate to the files you want to restore.
