Old backups of aperture

HI All
I used to use Aperture on my imac, however when I moved over to my macbook air, I chose not to buy it for my air.
However I lost some of my data when I upgraded to mountain lion and now only have backups of aperture, I thought it was possible to view these in Iphoto by upgrading the file, but it says I need that latest version of Aperture in order to convert them
This seems a stupid investment, eg to spend all that money on aperture only to upgrade my files to then delete aperture from my hardrive - I dont actually want to use aperture as I have adobe bridge and iphoto.
Any ideas please?

In order for iPhoto to be able to read the Aperture library the Aperture library needs to be upgraded to the latest release. The only way to upgrade an Aperture library is with Aperture.
You could go into the Aperture library and import the original masters into iPhoto but this will only get the masters. Any work you did to them in Aperture will be lost.

How do I transfer my entire library from an old version of aperture (1.5)?

I need to transfer my entire aperture library from an old version of aperture (1.5) on my old imac (G5) to my new imac with Aperture (3.0).
I have got a backup in the form of a vault, but aperture 3.0 doesn't seem to be accepting that to create a full new library in 3.0.
Any ideas on how to transfer my library? cheers

Incomplete information:
When i go to File>Vault> Restore Library, it does not recognise the vault as it was from a previous version of aperture and suggests that i 'import' the vault instead.
Fair enough. But when i try and import the vault, it shows the vault in that light grey colour, which means that i can see it, but it won't allow me to select..

Can't see old backups on Time Machine

Originally, I noticed the issue when I went to do a backup and it failed because there was not enough space on the disk. Then I went to see if I could delete old backups. In Time Machine it shows today and one other backup, 6 days ago. It should be doing backups regularly. I have had the iMac and my external drive for years. I did update to Mavericks OS several months ago. That is the only change I can think of. I have seen older backups and used them before now. Not sure why I can't see them anymore and why it says my disk is full. Why isn't it deleting the old backups if it's full?
So I guess I have three main questions:
1 Why can't I see the old backups?
2 Why aren't the old files being deleted if it's full?
3 How can it be full if there is only one backup?
Thanks

These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the word "Starting" (without the quotes.) You should now see log messages with the words "Starting * backup," where * represents any of the words "automatic," "manual," or "standard."
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Note the timestamp of the last "Starting" message that corresponds to the beginning of an an abnormal backup. Now
CLEAR THE WORD "Starting" FROM THE TEXT FIELD
so that all messages are showing, and scroll back in the log to the time you noted. Select the messages timestamped from then until the end of the backup, or the end of the log if that's not clear. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ If all you see are messages that contain the word "Starting," you didn't clear the text field.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don't post many repetitions of the same message.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

CUCM 8.6.2 Not Deleteing Old Backups

Have set "Number of backups to store on Network Directory" to 1
backup user has permissions to delete (tested with sftp client)
but backup still keeps old backups.
thanks

Hi
You'll need to review the logs either on CUCM (DRF logs) or on the SFTP server. I'd start with the SFTP server, try to see what requests are failing or if CUCM is not requesting that the files be deleted at all.

How do I get my new iphone restored with my old backup? my old iphone had ios5 and the replacement phone i got has ios4 and it wont let me backup my phone because it doesnt have ios4... i cant get ios5 without restoring my iphone and backing it uo

Basically, i need all my old stuff from my iphone 4 with ios5 onto my new iphone 4. The new phone i received only had ios4. I went to get all my contacts and backup from my old phone onto my new phone and it wont let me because my new phone is only ios4 and my backup from my old phone was in ios5. I cant get ios5 on my phone without creating a new backup of my new phone, which has nothing on it. If i restore it as a new phone and backup virtually nothing from my new phone, will that get rid of all my old backup stuff from my old iphone?

Bottom line is you CANNOT restore to a phone from a backup that has a more recent iOS which is what you're trying to do. Just can't be done.

Can't delete old backup - says it is in use

I just replaced my iPhone 4 with a 6 (yay!). I loaded the 4 iCloud backup onto the 6 (two days ago) and now the 6 is backing up as a separate phone backup on iCloud. I want to delete the old backup. However, when I try to delete the old 4 backup it says that it is currently in use restoring a phone and can't be deleted.
any ideas why it would still be "in use" even though my old 4 is powered off and my new 6 is running on it's own backup now?

Hi Aaron,
Please wait for up to 72 hours and then try to delete the old backup again.
With kind regards,
David

[Windows Server 2008 R2] [Windows Server Backup] How to remove an old backup set

Hello,
long time ago I made a backup of some files of a server on a network location running manually a command like this one:
"wbadmin start backup -backupTarget:\\Server1\Backup\MyServer\wbadmin_Effe -include:F: -user:DOMAIN\myself -password:******** -quiet"
Now this network location is no more available because that machine is definitely broken.
I have no problems to run and create backups on a local drive or on other network locations.
My only problem is that now, in the main window of Windows Server Backup, when i click "View details" under "All Backups", I can still see that backup as the oldest available... that's a bit annoying.
It appears also if I run the command "wbadmin GET VERSIONS".
Does anybody know how can I remove this backup version set from my server?
Thanks,
Alex.

Hi Alex,
The command will remove all backups existed on your server. If you cannot get Shadow Copy ID and there are "good" backups existed on you server, you could not remove the old backup versions.

How can I see the old backups of my previous Macbook done by Time machine in a Time capsule with my new iMac?

How can I see the old backups of my previous Macbook done by Time machine in a Time capsule with my new iMac? I've changed from a Macbook to a iMac because that one stopped working and I cannot use it anymore. I've been able to import all the data of the last backup of the Macbook when setting the new iMac, but I cannot access now to the old backups of the Macbook and there are information that wasn't in the last backup and I would like to recover. Thank you very much.

Yes, you can ..

? How to setup as new device for testing and reverting back to old backup

I need to do some testing to see if my backup may be causing poor responsiveness from my home key.
I have already done a full restore but nothing has changed. I would like to create a new device and install a few apps to see how things go. Then, I want to erase all the settings and install my old backup if there is no change. I want to ensure I will have access to my all my backups as I dont want to lose them. I have tonnes of apps.
How can I accomplish this task?

Plug in to iTunes, select your device, select restore. When it is done, say Set up as New iPod. When you are done, simply repeat the process except select Restore from Backup when it is done.

I want to set up my time capsule on a completely new network & location without losing the old backups. How do I do this?

I want to set up my time capsule on a completely new network & location without losing the old backups. How do I do this? I cannot find anything in the user manual.

The TC is very hard to just move.. it retains too much of the old network setup.. buried deep in the bowels of the firmware configuration files.. or even on the hard disk special partitions used by the TC.. invisible to you btw.. !!
Do a factory reset and setup from scratch.
That factory reset will have no affect on your backups.. even if you rename the TC.. not a bad things since you also want clients to respond to the new network.. simply reset TM to the new TC name and location.
See A4 here.
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Factory reset.
The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
Factory reset Gen 5
Hold in reset for about 5sec until the status light flashes quickly.
If your AirPort Time Capsule still doesn’t respond, do a similar reset to the Gen1-4.
Unplug your AirPort Time Capsule .. hold in reset and power the TC back on.. without releasing the reset.. wait until status led flashes rapidly.

How to delete the old backup in time machine?

Hi all,
As I have use the TM for a year,the backup folder is on a network dirve. HOw can I delete the old backup (eg 6 months ago) in order to release more space?
Thank you
Gary

Hi, and welcome to the forums.
I'll assume you mean a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device, not a Time Capsule or external HD connected to a Time Capsule or other Mac on your network.
If so, you can delete individual backups via Time Machine. See #12 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). That may not seem to gain any space, since the backups are in a rather odd container called a +sparse bundle.+ It won't shrink automatically when you delete things, but the space will be reused for new backups.
You may be able to limit the size of the backups by limiting the amount of space available to Time Machine on the NAS, but you'll have to use whatever facilities the NAS supplies, not OSX. Some allow the disk to be partitioned as on a normal disk, or allocate space to shares.

How do I stop a copy of backup files? Time Machine filled my extern HD, I bought a 2TB, drag and drop the old backup files and now my iMac has been stuck in "preparing copy" mode all night.

My 235 MB external HD was full, I bought a new 2TB and dragged and dropped the old backup files to it. Now my iMac is frozen in "preparing copy" mode. How can I 'unfreeze' it? How should I move the backup files from one external HD to the other?

This has been answered here so may times (especially by pondini, e.g. in this thread Time Machine stuck in repeating "preparing files" cycle), so please search this forum the next time before asking such a question.

How do I remove old backups from my iPhone?

I have a fairly full iPhone 5. When I look at my iTunes Wi-Fi Sync, it shows backups from 2 old computers that I no longer use. I need only one of the three backup files my phone is holding. Note: I am not asking how to go into iTunes and delete old backups. I need to delete them from the actual phone.

The three backups I refer to in my original question are listed in Wi-Fi Sync as backups that are waiting to complete. The list is 3 computers my iPhone has been used with. I no longer use 2 of these computers, so I no longer need these backups. They are ONLY listed on my phone not in iTunes so I cannot delete them in iTunes. They are on my phone as backups that are waiting for me to reconnect to those computers to complete.

I am trying to update my time machine backup on time capsule, but time machine keeps trying to create an entirely new backup (evidenced by the 200GB backup size). How can I get time machine to modify my old backup rather than create a new one?

It must have found the old backup corrupt.. so you will more than likely have little choice. You can archive off the old backup if it is still useful.
You can also verify it. See A5 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
He also has some info on this problem. eg C13.

I have a new Macbook Pro, how can I access my old backups from previous Macbook??

Hey, I reccently got a new Macbook Pro, because my Macbook died. How can I get access to my previous backups to get uni work and stuff from it? There is almost 2 years work of stuff on there that I need access to.
Is it also because I am now on Lion?
cheers

Try the advice on this thread.
The problem is that you're using a different Mac. The best approach would have been to use Setup Assistant to suck your data from the old backup into your new Mac. Since you didn't do that, your manual approach may be the best option.
