Retrieving iCal data from Time Capsule back up

My system crashed and onfortunatly i had to install a new system. Now i want my 'old' data back in iCal. What do i need to get back from my Time Capsule back up to get the data back in my iCal???
I already retrieved users -> myname -> library -> calendars but this has no effect at all.
plsssssssssssss help me

Hi,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Try this:
Make a copy of the ~/Library/Calendars folder from your backup and put it on your Desktop.
Rename the folder 'Old.icbu' (without the quotes).
There will probably be a dialog confirming that you want to make this name change.
It should now look like an iCal backup file (which is actually a package).
Double click 'Old.icbu' on the Desktop.
(Hopefully) iCal will open and confirm that you want to revert all your calendars to this version.
Let me know how it goes.
Best wishes

  • Retrieval of data from time capsule

    My MacBook Pro was declared dead yesterday. I bought a MacBook Air to replace it.
    I paid to have data transfer from my time capsule. We are two using it. I got home and found out my data was not on the MacBook Air.
    I need to:
    (1) delete the data that is not mine
    (2) retrieve my data from the time capsule.
    Since my MacBook Pro was dying/ corrupted for over a week, I was informed that some of the backup is partial. I need to go back to the last complete backup.
    Your help in explaining how to (1) delete and (2) retrieve the data would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm nohow a expert on TimeCapsule, however Pondini is and this is his site...

    If for some reason you can't get your data off via that means, there ARE more brutal options available and I've covered them here

  • How Do I Delete backup data from Time Capsule if have 2 computers on 1 TC?

    I have been backing up 2 computers (one desktop/one laptop) to a 1TB Time Capsule. I have now added an external hard drive for the desktop computer and would like to delete that computer's backups from Time Capsule to free up space for the laptop computer. How do I delete the desktop computer's backup data from Time Capsule without disturbing the laptop back ups? Do I drag the desktop computer's backups.backupdb and sparsebundle to trash and empty?
    Thanks.

    Thanks though I am still a bit confused as I had read NOT to delete via Finder, but via Disk Utility (erase). Does it make any difference?
    You're probably referring to the advice never to change, move, or delete anything inside your backups via the Finder, as that can corrupt them.
    A number of folks have tried to delete a single backup that way, and caused all sorts of troubles.
    Deleting the entire sparse bundle is ok.

  • Where does restored data from time capsule get placed

    Where does restored data from time capsule get placed?
    For instance, is the data seamlessly placed where it was missing or corrupted, or does it enter a program under some separate "heading" in the program 1) if letter is restored to Mail, 2) if entire mailbox restored to Mail,  3) if single letter restored to Documents, 4) if several photos to iPhoto, 5) if one folder restored to desktop.

    Cannot answer all your questions, but will answer regarding iPhoto.
    You cannot restore individual photos to iPhoto, you must restore the entire iPhoto Library.
    When you do this, you are given several options. See the shot below for details:
    The restored library will be placed in the default location....the Pictures folder

    How do I retrieve a file from my backup in Time Capsule?
    It depends on the type of file that you are trying to retreive.
    In general.....
    Open Time Machine by clicking on the clock icon on the dock
    Wait a few minutes for Time Machine to fully load
    Use the timeline at the far right of the window to go back in time to a date when the file was still on your Mac
    Click that date
    Navigate using the Finder interface to locate the file that you want
    Click on the file to highlight it
    Click Restore at the lower right of the window to be brought back to the present
    You have to retrieve other types of files differently. For details, see:

  • Recovering data from Time Capsule after conversion from Snow Leopard to Lion

    Had a problem with my iMac, which was running Snow Leopard O/S.  Data was backed up on Time Capsule using Time Machine, although recent back-ups had failed (but earlier back-ups had been OK).  Apple support determined that I needed to re-install the O/S and they walked me through it.  After blowing away all data (believing that once O/S reinstalled, could recover from Time Capsule), the reinstall failed.  Took to Apple store, where they installed Lion at my request.  Then tried to recover from Time Capsule, but couldn't do so.  Sparse file doesn't work (it shows 10GB, which is wrong as it had several hundred GB's before due to lots of photos).  Apple Support couldn't solve issue, believes it was corrupted with the last backup.  Ultimately recommended that I have professional data recovery service recover data from the iMac hard-drive (as opposed to Time Capsule).  Spoke to recovery service recommended by Apple, and it is very expensive (also, given the O/S reinstall, anything they recover will have new file names and no directory structure).  They also said getting data off the Time Capsule is even more difficult and expensive to recover.  I'm not a happy camper. 
    I would welcome any thoughts on what to do.  FWIW, I live in South Florida and there appear to be lots of data recovery companies locally, but Apple support had said that they have only a few authorized vendors that can do it without voiding warranty, so I'm reluctant to even call them.  Thanks.  Steve

    Your backups may be corrupted.
    Try to repair them, via Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder).
    Mount the sparse bundle by opening the TC in the Finder and double-clicking on the sparse bundle. Drag the sparse bundle into Disk Utility's sidebar, and do a +*Repair Disk*+ (not permissions) on it. If it finds errors it can't fix, run it again (and again), until it either fixes them all, or can't fix any more.

  • Recovering data from Time Capsule

    My computer died and I'm trying to retrieve my data from my Time Capsule. A friend loaned me their old Macbook (circa 2008) which has 120 GB capacity. (Like I said, it's old....) I set up the largest partition I could, but it's only 45 GB (37 GB available). I have the Time Capsule all set up but, when I ran Migration Assistant, I realized I need 176 GB to migrate everything. My music folder alone is 125 GB, so I can't even migrate that.
    Are there any work-arounds that don't require me buying or locating another Mac with sufficient capacity for this migration? Can I set up an external hard drive and migrate all the data directly to that drive, bypassing the internal hard drive completely? Is it possible to download portions of the data piecemeal (copy it off, delete, repeat)?
    Thanks in advance!

  • How can i format my MacBook Pro hard disk and recover my data from time capsule?

    Hello,
    My MacBook Pro is running slow, more and more. Everything started with the "upgrade" to Lion.
    Can I re-format my hard disk and recover from Time Capsule only the data and applications I really need (including Snow Leopard as OS, maybe)?
    Thanks

    The problem is that it is a Western Digital 3.5 inch internal hard drive housed inside a hard drive caddy. So the only way to connect it to my computer is through a dock.

  • How retrieve data from Time Capsule if I buy a new Mac?

    I have new mac and I want to transfer ALL the data thats saved on my Time Capsule, how do I do this? Is it possible?

    Is the data stored on the Time Capsule from a Time Machine backup? If so, when you boot the new Mac it will ask you if you want to restore from a Time Machine backup. When you get to that point, select the Time Capsule.

  • Retrieving data from time capsule

    I have a MacBook and an iMac that share a time capsule.  The MacBook hard drive just died.  How do I get the data to the iMac?  For example, my email was only accessed through the MacBook so it's not on the iMac.

    Are you saying you cannot access the Time Capsule's HDD? Or that you cannot access the Time Machine backups? Let's go through both scenarios:
    1. Connect TC via ethernet to the Air. Or log in via the wireless network with the correct network name, password and encryption.
    2. Ctrl-click the Time Machine icon on the Dock and select +Browse Other Time Machine disks+. Click on you TM backup now.
    Let us know if this works.

  • Brand new iMac want to install previous data from Time Machine back up, brand new iMac want to install previous data from Time Machine back up

    I am waiting on a brand new iMac to repace my 2007 iMac. I have a Time Capsule and use Time Machine for auto back ups. What do I need to do transfer all data from my older iMac to my new one? I am not running Mavericks on the older iMac but have upgraded all along till the Mavericks free upgrade. Do I need to update the older Mac to Mavericks to make the restore easier.
    Thanks for any guidance,

    PowerPC = PPC, this is the architechture of microproccors that Apple used prior to 2006 when they transitioned to Intel based microprocessors. Apple supported PPC based apps from 2006 to about 2012 when Lion (10.7.x) was first introduced. They gave users 6 years to upgrade all of their legacy apps to Intel based apps. Even after 6+ years some users still complained because their old apps would not run with new versions of OS X, that is technology though.
    You might still have PPC based apps, if you do and you want to use them they need to be upgraded or replaced. I have noted a link to an article that will help walk you through to see if you have any PPC based apps. If you do then you can decide if you want to continue using them or upgrade.
