Restoring an older file.
Can I restore from a previous cloud file if a newer one exists? I want to access data from yesterday that was overwritten in today's backup, both on the cloud and on my computer.
You don't restore an iCloud backup using iTunes (or your computer), you use wifi. To restore your iCloud backup you start by erasing the device. Go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go through the setup screens on the iPad and when given the option, choose restore from iCloud backup and follow the prompts. You will get a screen that shows the available backups to restore from, and may have to tap "Show older backups (if visible) to access older backups. Be sure your iPad is connected to wifi and your charger while restoring the backup.

Restoring to older file in Time Machine need newer bookmarks
A month ago I upgraded to Yosemite and have been in computer **** ever since. Last night, I decided to return to Mountain Lion, where life was running smoothly. I erased my drive, turned Time Machine on to restore it back to working level and woke up this morning to find everything good as new. Now, I need all my browser bookmarks, documents, etc that I've added since that old back up. I figured out how to restore my docs and pics from a newer backup, but can't figure out how to do the bookmarks. Anyone know?
Quit Safari.
Hold Option.
Go to menu bar Go > Library.
In the window that opens, double click the Safari.
Open Time Machine from the menu bar at top right.
In TM, go to the date you want, find the Bookmarks.plist file, select it and click Restore. -
I have had a series of Macs. They have been backed up with Time Machine. I am trying to restore TM backup files from the older Macs using my new MacBook Pro. No go. What do I do ?
I am trying to restore TM backup files from the older Macs using my new MacBook Pro. No go.
Migration Assistant (Finder > Applications > Utilities > Migration Assistant) is the tool that you would use to restore backups from older Macs to another Mac.
Details are here: http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html The same info applies for Mavericks and Yosemite. If you are saying that this is a "no go".....where are you getting stuck? What error messages do you see? -
I backed up my iphone5 in the morning and later again on the same day, in the afternoon. I then restored an older backup from the morning. Now all my music files refuse to play even though they still appear on iphone. How can I resolve this?
Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.) -
How can I restore an older version (before the sync)?
I'm using Numbers on my iPad and my Macbook.
Yesterday I opened my Macbook and for some reason it opened the Numbers app but didn't sync.
I didn't really need to work on the file so I just left it open.
A few hours later I wanted to do some work on my iPad.
It prompted me with a "there's a newer version on your Macbook" and asked me if I want to sync to that version.
I actually forgot I didn't do any work on my computer and tapped on the sync button.
Now I lost all of the information since before the sync.
How can I restore the older version on the iPad - before the sync?From your last backup.

I am using I Photo 9.2.3 with OS 10.6.8 When I upgraded to current I photo some of my Iphoto books i put together disappeared. Cant find them anywhere, including in the time machine...I photo cant open older files...How can a find the book entitled "Mom" ? Does Apple keep ordered books on file?
Apple keeps books for a short time (used to be 40 days. I've not seen a recent time frame)
What version did you have?
Books do nor exist except in the iPhoto database so you can not "find" a book vista TM. You restore a previous library (be sure NOT to overwrite your current library) and switch to it

Can not restore all data/files after disk crash.
I have a intel MacBook Pro (2008). Hard drive crashed. I replaced the drive and all is well with that. I re-installed Leopard and the Snow Leopard upgrade. Now I am trying to restore all my files/data from my external LaCie drive. All I am seeing is it says "copying to volumes". I don't see the files or anything on my new drive. What am I doing wrong??
Not sure, but here is a link that may help:

How do i delete Older files from the directory before create a new file?
Hi,
How do i delete older files in a particular directory,
the senorio is count the number of .txt files in a directory and delete the older files if file count is more than 10. (if i add 11th file the very first file has to be deleted)
i have written the code to count the files and delete , but it is deleting all the files instead of older file
public class ExtensionFilter implements FilenameFilter {
private String extension;
public ExtensionFilter( String extension ) {
this.extension = extension;
public boolean accept(File dir, String name) {
return (name.endsWith(extension));
public class FileUtils{
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
FileUtils.deleteFiles("c:/countfile/", ".txt");
public static void deleteFiles( String directory, String extension ) {
ExtensionFilter filter = new ExtensionFilter(extension);
File dir = new File(directory);
String[] list = dir.list(filter);
File file;
if (list.length == 0) return;
for (int i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
//file = new File(directory + list);
file = new File(directory, list[i]);
if ((list[i]).length()>=10)
System.out.print(file + " deleted : " + file.delete());
Thanks,
Jamin RosinaWhat your code is doing now, is deleting all filenames that are longer than 10 characters.
Your problem lies in the line:
if ((list).length()>=10) -
I am trying to restore an older iPod Touch, but do not have the passcode. I am getting an error message saying that I need to free up some space, but I cannot because I don't have the passcode and have never synced this device to my account. Help..
If it is asking for the screen-lock passcode then:
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
Otherwise follow varjak paw recommendation -
How to I restore missing StickiesDatabase file from Time Machine?
I have looked all over for a solution to this. Basically, I am trying to restore a stickiesdatabase file from a Time Machine backup. I put in a new HD and am slowly pulling files over in pieces. The thing is, the backup that had the stickies I want to restore did not seem to back that file up. I navigated to user/library to find StickiesDatabase, and it is not there, even though I went into the terminal and unhid invisible folders and files (other greyed out invisibles showed up so I know it worked). But here's the weird thing, when looking on my current hard drive, I could find that file for my new, empty stickies just fine. Also, I went further to a Time Machine backup from a year ago, and I found the stickiesdatabase file in the library as well. It's like these last two backups I did that had the stickies I want did not include that file in the backup. Any thoughts? Am I doomed? Oh, and I am currently on Mavericks and the backup in question was also Mavericks. And I have a 2008 Macbook Pro if that info is helpful.
There is another, huge thread on TM backups on this forum and exactly this issue has come up. Sadly, no one has a perfect answer. I do not have a spare drive available to test this myself, but I would try something along these lines.
-- Ask TM to restore your full Library and the Masters, if Referenced. I believe that TM will give you the option to not overwriting your current Library, but be careful. However you do, stick this "Recovery Library" out somewhere. (Yes, this is gonna take some time, run it overnight.)
-- Open "Recovery" with Aperture and select the Project(s) that contain the images you want. Export these "Projects as New Library." (Don't export as either Versions or Masters.) I would select the box "Consolidate Masters" and I would probably discard the Previews. Stick this somewhere.
-- Now open "Original Library" and import the "Library" that you exported back into your Original Library as something like "Stupid Lost Project."
-- You should now have a Project full of adjusted, and adjustable images. (N.B. this is basically the technique I use with my laptop. I shoot, load into AP3 on the laptop, noodle, and then export/import into AP3 on the MacPro when I get home.)
-- Clean up. (Delete "Recovery", convert the recovered Project back to Referenced Masters, if you wish, etc.)
One good argument for never throwing those old USB drives away.
I have missed some of the details in the process, so be careful, but I believe that this will work until Apple lets us run Aperture inside Time Machine.
Best wishes. -
Cannot open dashboard from connected client to restore a single file
I have a small business network with an existing Server 2008 R2 domain controller. In order to backup all the client machines with an experience something like windows home server I recently purchased a new server with windows server 2012 r2 and
installed the essentials role.
I'm able to connect client machines (running windows 7) to the new server and get them to backup. I assume (but have not yet tested) that I would be able to do a full image restore by creating a client restore bootable usb key and booting a client from
that, but first I'd like to be able to browse the files in a client backup and restore a single file rather than the full image. It seems that the only way to do that is to run the dashboard as a remoteapp from the client, but when I try that I get this
error:
I thought that I might need to add the remote desktop services role. So I tried doing that and publishing the dashboard as a remoteapp, but the error still appears. Even if that fixed the problem, though, I would be concerned that would mean we
needed RDS CALs for each client which seems like overkill just for the ability to restore a single file from a backup.
So, is there any other way to get to the dashboard or otherwise restore files onto a client?
Thanks.

How to restore backed up files (not lightroom catalogue) from one external drive to another.
I recently backuped my photo files from one external drive to another. The backup (carbon copy cloner) pointed to some corrupt files on the original drive.
I have deleted those files and am finding good copies of them in Time Machine backups.
I want to get rid of the original external drive; use the recent backup as my main external and then back it up onto a brand new drive.
What I am not sure about is how to point lightroom to the backups so it knows to look on the new drive instead of the old drive and all those exclamation marks and question marks go away.
There are close to 60,000 images in numerous folders all with one 'parent folder.'
My best guess is from Lightroom Help - Create and Manage Folders - Locate Missing Folders
Can I point to the one parent folder and all the subfolders will come back?
Is this the process to recover files into lightroom and will there be a problem with so many photos?http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm
