Restore exchange account with time machine

Hello,
Using Mail under Maverick, when making a rules and apply it, this rules doesn't works like I expect, and suppress about 400 hundred mails in my inbox (account exchange 365).
I go to TimeMachine to restore the Inbox like 30 minutes before. I see all the losted mails, but when I clik on Restore, a message say something like "restoring box Outlook 365"... and nothing... My inbox stay empty !
In fact, if it's not possible to restore an Mail Exchange Account with Time Machine, it should send me an alert, or propose to restore the mails to a temporary local box.
Could you help me ?
Thanks for your attention and Best regards
Laurent

Sorry,
I just found the alert of your reply in the spam folder !
Yes, I have a suggestion. Im not in front of the Mac where I have had the problem, but I remember that at the bottom of the "On my Mac" mail folders, there is a new folder created by Time Machine. In this folder, the restored send and received mailbox !
Hoppe it will help you.
Best regards,
Laurent

How to restore email-Account with Time-Machine

Hi,
I realized to my surprise that all my email accounts except the icloud one are gone from mail, after I restarted my mac. I do not know why this happened, crash or something ... - I only know that I only see my icloud account in the inbox.
I read the discussions about restoring mails with TM but what I wanted to avoid is to setup my 5 emails accounts manually again. I want to have them restored via TM (as I already have local copies after them emails in the inboxes I do not really care abouut the mails agains..) . I do not want to setup all the different acount settings again and again.
So the question is: Where are those account informations kept in TM? Can I restore them with mail open or do I ahve to close the mail app on my iMac and then simply restore a certain file/folder with TM (I hope it is such easy ...)
Thanks for support!
Christoph

The account settings are stored in ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Accounts.plist
So try again with Time Machine.
Browse to the MailData Folder, open Time Machine (click in the toolbar
and select Enter Time Machine) the go back to a time before the Accounts.plist file was changed and click Restore.

Restoring my System with Time Machine to a new HD without the Snow Leopard DVD

Hi there,
I changed my HD in my MacBook Pro to a bigger one and then wanted to Restore the System via Time Machine onto that new HD. Sadly I dont have the Snow Leopard DVD that was coming with the MacBook. Though I have another Snow Leopard DVD, that I purchased earlier for my older Mac. Now the Problem:
When I try to Boot the Macbook Pro from the older Snow Leopard DVD it always freezes and says: "You have to restart your Macbook. Press the power button until it switches off and then press the button again". But iwill not boot from the DVD.
Is there another possibility to Restore my System from my Time Machine Backup to the new HD?
Kind Regards

You can't use a machine specific OS X install disk with another model of Mac.
It has to do with hardware drivers being on one disk and not applicable to another machine, why you get the kernel panic.
Is there another possibility to Restore my System from my Time Machine Backup to the new HD?
No. You need the OS X install disk.
Choices depending on what your machine is:
1: If your machine with the missing OS X install disk originally came with 10.6.3 or later, call Apple for machine specific replacement disks, there will be a fee of course. That's the only ones that will work.
2: If your machine originally came with 10.6.2 or earlier, you can choose to buy the 10.6.3 retail disk from Apple online, however it contains no free iLife. It comes faster.
3: If your machine originally came with 10.0 - 10.6.2, and you want the free iLife, then order the machine specific versions from Apple, however it might take longer.
4: If your machine originally came with 10.5, and your now on 10.6.x via the 10.6.3 retail disk, you can extract the free iLife from the 10.5 disks using Pacifist from CharlesSoft if you don't want to buy iLife.
You will need this disk regardless in case you need to #18 Reinstall Just OS X or #20 Erase and Install OS X or perform #4-#6 repair proceedures:
Step by Step to fix your Mac
Is there another possibility...
Yes, once you have gotten a new OS X install disk, consider making bootable clones.
It's software that can clone your entire OS X drive/partition (no Bootcamp or Filevaulted) to another external drive and you can easily hold the option key to boot from it.

How do I restore lost emails with Time Machine?

I would like to know how I restore lost drafts that I had on my mail program 6.6 with Time Machine.
I forgot that when you restore the mail program (was buggy) it saves all your emails except for your drafts. So now I need to find all the drafts that were deleted with my Time Machine.
Where are the drafts store prior to when I have to delete my mail program because of bugs in it?
How do I find them once I launch Time Machine. Can't recall where they are stored in my systems folder?
Thanks for any help regarding this.

From Apple support article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
To restore individual files see Restoring specific files or folders.
Restoring your entire system from a backup
Hold down the Command and R keys at startup to start the computer from the Recovery system. The Recovery menu that appears includes the option to restore from a Time Machine backup. If you are using Mac OS X Snow Leopard, start your computer from the installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility.

HT1338 How to restore iphoto photo with Time Machine?

I am trying to restore a single photo in iPhoto from Time Machine.
I open up iPhoto, then upen up Time Machine. When Time Machine launches, it opens up my desktop, not iPhoto.
I have seen videos of people doing this, but I cannot get Time Machine to open up iPhoto.
What am I doing wrong?

Apple used to support restoration of photos via the iPhoto interface with Time Machine, but has halted this support. I believe the reason was the feature was corrupting people's libraries, but I cannot be certain. Your options here are to restore either the entire library or manually go into the library in the Finder and use Time Machine to browse through file histories that way. Alternatively you can access the Time Machine backup directly in the Finder and manually copy the needed files out of it (do not restore in this way, but instead copy to the Desktop and then re-import the image as a new photo).

Difficulty Restoring IMAP emails with Time Machine

I use Gmail IMAP in Apple Mail and I'm finding it difficult to restore my inbox because the IMAP automatically synchronizes with the server after the Time Machine restore. Even when I take my account offline first and then do the TM restore, the emails disappear as soon as the account is brought back online.
How can I get my missing emails back without them disappearing?

This is strange - IMAP should be smart enough not to do that.
Try this.
create a local mailbox on your mac and move those messages there immediately after you restore them. Then take gmail online and allow it to sync. Now move those messages back to the gmail inbox and allow it to sync again. Hopefully, they will stay there.

HT201250 Will restoring a mailbox with time machine delete new mail?

I recently changed internet service provider and chaned the settings in mail to send/recieve with new provider. I removed the old account (pop & SMTP) and the items I had saved in my old mailbox disappeared.
I need to recover some items in that mailbox. I was going to use time machine to recover these files and wanted to know if doing this will delete current mailbox (information/settings).
Some additional advice would be really appreciated on how to avoid losing information in the future.
Can anyone help????

Quit Mail.
Go to the FInder, select Go, then GO to Folder. Paste this:
~/Library/Mail/V2/
A finder window will open in your Home Library to the Mail folder.
With that window active, enter TM. Navigate back in time and find the account folder you deleted. Highlight it and click to restore.
Once done, open Mail. The account you deleted should be there with the messages. Create a local folder and move those messages to it. Then, you can once again delete that account from mail.
Messages in a POP accounts are stored on the computer within that account. Creating local mailboxes and moving messages to them will move the messages out of the account. Since local mailboxes are not affected by specific accounts, they won't get deleted when you do delete an account.

Restoring my iMac with Time Machine

Hello everyone,
I was unable to install an Skype update on my Boot Drive and was shown an error saying that I did not have the necessary permissions to perform the operation. This error has occurred after I recently performed a clean installation of OSX.6.1 during which I partitioned the internal HD and created a Boot Drive for apps only and a Data Drive for everything else including User Accounts. I used Terminal to manually move the User Accounts. The computer was working correctly once I set up all my personal folders. Other app updates worked without error so I'm not sure what I did to initiate the error with the Skype update.
The first time I got an error citing permissions, after installing OSX.6.1, was from the external drive and the remedy I used was to open the Get Info window and “apply all privileges” for User (me). It took a long time to complete that operation as there was a lot of data on the external drive.
I tried this remedy with the Boot Drive for this Skype update before doing any research into the effect. The process of applying privileges was over in a few seconds as the Boot Drive only had 14 Gigs of apps including the OS. I shut down the iMac and restarted and the gray screen with the Apple logo came up and stayed on. The Snow Leopard boot time is usually just under 30 seconds but the gray screen just stayed on for more than 10 minutes and it was clear that it wasn't going to boot up.
I tried booting from the Leopard install disc and use Disk Utility to repair permissions but got the error: “The underlying task reported failure on exit.” I also tried the other options of verifying disc and repair disc and they ran successfully and reported “all ok” but did not help to get the computer started. I also used the Startup Disc selection to select the Boot Drive but get the same hanging result.
Time Machine has a full backup that was made just a few hours before I made my mistake. I have read Glenn Carter's tips for TM use. As I have two partitions on my HD I need to “select a destination” for TM to use but know this can't be right in my case as the whole drive is required and I need to restore the two partitions. Only the Data Drive is big enough to select and that will leave the other partition useless.
It looks like I may have to erase the internal HD with Disk Utility to allow TM to completely restore my computer. If I do this will TM be able to restore the clean internal HD with two partitions from my TM backup? The TM backup is small as it is just all the newly restored apps and User accounts, almost no data – just a few emails.
Does anyone know a remedy to this issue using Terminal to restore the correct permissions?
I think I understand my mistake – the OS can't see the Boot Drive because I removed the system's permissions to access.
Thank you

Hello again Pondini,
I just want to explain the reasons for partitioning the disc: I bought the iMac when Leopard was introduced to the market in 2007. That was my switch from 12 years of Microsoft **** where we always partitioned our drives out of necessity.
I carried some Windows habits with me to the Mac OS, the main one being intense scrutiny of the computer's performance. I was told not to bother about a drive partition for the iMac so I left the computer as it was but I noticed a small, slow drop off in performance over the last two years. I must say it was only barely noticeable and came from the testing of a large number of photo-editing apps. All the time I used Macaroni to maintain the computer. Macaroni works well.
During this time I was speaking to other people doing similar work and noticed that they had partitioned drives to achieve optimum performance. I understood that from the Windows point-of-view.
I had planned to do a clean installation of Snow Leopard as I think that if you upgrade your OS it should always be a clean installation. After doing some research I decided to go with the partition. It was clear that some people said it was not necessary.
Once my current setup is complete I am going to use this iMac for Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop only so the setup will not change, no new apps or anything else...
It was through my inexperience that I made this mistake with the Boot Drive. Once corrected I should be good to go.
Thank you again for your assistance.

Problems while restoring iPhoto library with Time machine

Hello,
I've had some problems in iPhoto 11 for a while. Pics being removed or altered in different ways.
I then decided to restore my iPhoto library to an earlier date using Time machine. I used a one week old backup and after 2 hours or so when it was done, no pictures in the folder anymore! I panicked and restored once again, this time on the whole "Pictures" folder. Now i cannot even open the folder, i get this message - "The folder “Pictures” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents."
I am the system administrator.. ive checked the "get info" option and made sure that all users can "read and write" in the folder.
When I try to restore the Pictures folder again i get a message telling me that it cannot be restored because the folder is being used... even if i dont use it!
I really need help to solve this... 60Gb pictures are gone
Please help me! What can i do? Is there any way to do a complete system restore for 1 week so i get rid of these problems? Or what would be the best and easiest fix?
Sorry if i placed this thread in the wrong place, but i think there are multiple problems that belong in different areas...

First ry the following on the library:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder:
User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.
If there's no improvement continue with: Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, and if needed Option #1 and Option #2.

How to Restore Safari Bookmarks with Time Machine in Lion

Hi -
I want to restore my Safari bookmarks.
I am running Lion and have a Time Machine backup with the correct bookmarks.plist file.
The problem - as I see it - is that the "Library" folder - where the Safari bookmarks.plist file is located - no longer shows up (by default in Lion) in the Home folder.
I fixed it so that "Library" does now show up in the home folder but since it was not set to show "Library" at the time the backup I need was done, it doesn't show up in the Home folder for the backup that I need.
I have tried restoring the entire Home folder but this is not restoring my bookmarks for some reason.
I even tried restoring the entire hard drive but that did not work either!
It would seem that the "library" folder - even if it was hidden - would be restored when I did the entire Home folder or the entire hard drive.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Brillianrt! Worked like a charm.
Then I found an easy solution to alphabetizing that doesn't require 3rd party software in a Macworld article:
"Without resorting to external tools or dragging links about, it’s actually fairly simple to order the list. Make sure you can see a Finder window, or your Desktop, and the Safari Bookmarks window at the same time. Now just drag the folder (or folders) you want sorted from the Safari window to your Desktop—you’ll see the folder appear when you release the mouse. Switch to the Finder, and open each folder. Set the view to List view, and then close the window (not strictly necessary, but I’m a neat freak).
Now drag the folder back into Safari’s Bookmarks window; Safari will treat it like a newly-imported folder of bookmarks and add it to the list. Open the folder in the Bookmarks window, and you’ll see your neatly-sorted bookmarks."

If I restore my Mac with Time Machine, will I lose any new data?

About a month ago I had my computer sent in to get some work done on it. They fixed the problem, but I didn't notice until later that it had lost my Apple ID.
It was still the same computer all of my files were on it, but I had to resign in on everything with my Apple ID.
Is there a way to use Time Machine to restore my computer back? My only problem with using the system restore is I think that will cause me to lose all of my new data like, songs, docs, photos, etc...
Is that the case? or is there a way to restore without losing that information?

Try something stronger, such as DiskWarrior or TechTool Pro.

Restoring macbook pro with time machine

I have a macbook pro and I since putting Leopard on it (Archive and install) I am having all kinds of applications crashing and freezing. I am making my first time machine back up right now. What I want to know is if after the back up is done I want to do a clean install of Leopard and the restore my data and applications.
Will I be able to restore all my applications as well as my data from time machine? Or will I have to go to all my applications websites and re-download the programs?
Thank you
Joe

Joe,
With a complete Time Machine backup, you can completely restore everything. When you boot to the Leopard Install disk, and after you have used Disk Utility (from the installer's "Utilities" menu) to format (erase) your hard drive, you can use the "Restore From a Time Machine Backup" utility. Open this from the "Utilities" menu, just as you do Disk Utility. Obviously, you'll need the backup drive connected and powered on at the time.
This said, I'm not sure that you want to use this. If you have a damaged system, that damage will undoubtedly be reproduced in your Time Machine backup. There is even the possibility that the backup is not "viable" enough to be restored in this manner.
I recommend you give it a try, anyway. Restoring from a Time Machine backup takes considerably less time than a "normal" installation; you will only waste minimal time, if the restoration or the resultant installation fails.
If you do run into problems, you can reinstall normally (from the Leopard disk) and restore your files from the Time Machine afterward. In this case, I recommend that your applications be reinstalled again manually.

HT201250 How to restore email accounts from time machine backup?

I'm attempting to recover email accounts that were lost in a clean install. I have opened mail, launched time machine and accessed the latest backup. I selected restore.
