Folders locked in Time Machine after changing hard drive

2008 iMac running Lion 10.7.5
I have had a larger hard drive installed on my iMac and all the data migrated to the new drive.
Time Machine has done a complete new backup but I can't access any of the older backups on Time Machine from the old hard drive.
The error I get trying to open any folder in TM prior to today is (Movies is an example)
The folder “Movies” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents.
My local Apple expert states that - "The backups get protected using the Hardware UUID of the hard drive. In your case, your old backups are protected using the UUID from the old hard drive. OS X is supposed to 'adopt' the old backup once it confirms that the data is the same as what is on the new drive. However, it doesn't always work."
I have since found a workaround on techsurvivors - by changing the permissions in Finder/Get Info on the Time Machine Drive ie
Open Time Machine drive in Finder
Do get info on any locked folder for specific backup date.
Unlock it but do not close the Get Info window.
Click on the black plus sign in the lower left corner of the Get Info window.
Click on the administrators or your account if it is bolded, then the Select blue button.
Click on the little arrows to select "Read and Write" for the account.
After doing this on one folder - Movies - for one backup ie June 11 2013 I was able to restore some movie files using Time Machine as normal.
I don't really want to have to repeat this for all the locked folders for every backup.
Is there an easier way to change the protection of the backups on the Time Machine drive? Or am I stuck with this workaround.
Thanks

How do I restore software after new hard drive installation?

I just replace the hard drive in iMac 17" and need help restoring the OS. Apparently the Snow Leopard cd is in the drive because when I turned it on, after a few minutes of churning, the message appeared: this computer does not have enough ram to install OS X. It has two 512 mb ram cards and worked before.

Restart the computer, when you hear the startup tone hold down the Option Key and choose the SL disc. After you select the language then choose the Utilities menu-Disk Utility and format the drive as Mac OS Extended (Journaled), Once you have formatted the drive then exit Disk Utility and complete the SL installation. The SL disc must be an upgrade DVD it cannot be a Snow Leopard DVD that shipped with another Mac if it is it WILL NOT WORK!

Restoring data after new hard drive installed

I just got my MacBook Pro laptop back from Best Buy after having a new hard drive installed. I did not have them restore my files, as I have backed up files on my external hard drive- WD My Passport for Mac. I never originally did anything to the external drive in terms of setting it up, partitioning it, or anything. I just plugged it into my laptop and assumed it was doing the backing up. Also, now that I have my laptop back, I wanted to see if the external hard drive did what I hoped it was doing- backing up my files. I have have now plugged My Passport in hoping to restore my laptop and have discovered that I can't open some files from my iWorks files, as it appears that I may now have to reinstall that app. I guess I was assuming this app would have been saved to My Passport. In order to fully restore my files myself (trying to be more computer independent) what should I do? I have been reading some of the other questions people have asked that seem to be related to what I'm trying to do and read about partitioning My Passport. Should I go in now and make the one partition under the Volume Scheme on My Passport and then switch the name and the partition scheme from Apple Partition Map to GUID Partition Table? The message I'm getting is telling me that partitioning this disk in this way will delete all the data on this disk, so I cancelled and reset everything back the way it was, concerned I would lose all my data. Any help is greatly appreciated.

You can download iWorks from the App Store. Since you purchased it previously it should be a free download.
Repartitioning or reformatting a disk will erase all the data on it.
If you are already testing your iWork files it sounds like you have restored or can restore the files. Other than iWorks, what did not get restored?

How to restore files after a Hard Drive crash?

I just had my Hitachi 320 Gb Macbook HD crash (out of the blue started clicking when restarted, and the folder with question mark appeared).
Good news is that I have a duplicate of the entire HD (using Retrospect "duplicate" function) from about a week ago.
I have installed a new HD in my MacBook and I'd like to restore all my old files without losing any bookmarks, preferences, having to re set up email etc.
I thought I could just drop the whole Retrospect duplicate on to the HD but that didn't work, then I loaded the OS X disc (10.5.6) and tried getting everything on to the HD using Migration Assistant, but nothing showed up in the Migration Assistant box......?
I know all the data I have backed up is good, I'm just looking for the best way to avoid having to manually drag everything over in case I miss ssome things, or there are some preferences etc that are stored someplace and I miss them?
Also, does the user name have to be exactly the same for this to work (my name was mis spelled by one letter on the old HD, should I make my new user name match?
Thanks for any help!
Alan.

Boot from the external drive that contains the duplicate. Use Disk Utility to prep the new drive:
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
When formatting is completed use the Restore option of DU to restore your clone to the new hard drive:
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4.Check the box labeled Erase destination.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the new drive.
Source means the clone drive.

Syncing Issue after changing Hard Drive

Hi, I believe people have been asking this same question couple times, but I couldn't really see anything that will reallyl answer my question.
So here it is.
I have replaced my laptop's hard drive which I have my iPhone sycned to.
I know I can copy everything under "iTunes" folder in "Program Files" folder, and some copule more under "Users"
Though that way I think it'll keep everything. (which is not really what I wanted)
I would like to keep only the Apps, so that way I can reset the way I organized my songs and videos.
So I was wondering, if I should copy everything under those folders, then delete all the songs.
Or is it possible to just get the Apps files back.
My problem is more concerned with that I don't want the Apps to be recynced to my iPhone as I believe that way I will probably lose my savings and settings in the game after re-syncing as a new one. (or will it?)
I hope I have made my questions cleared enough to answer.
Thanks.

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

Speaker problem after changing hard drive

Hi,
Yesterday I changed my powerbook's hard drive to a nice big 250Gb one and proceded to install Leopard on it. However, ever since I've changed the hard drive my speakers have been making a horrible loud noise. When I plug headphones in to the jack the noise from the speakers stops and I get perfect sound through my headphones. The noise starts as soon as I turn the powerbook on but stops for a short period during the boot sequence.
Any ideas ?
PS: I'm not 100% sure I put the screws back in the right place but I had no screws left after putting the powerbook back together.

Bienvenue!
First, try resetting your PMU: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1431
If that doesn't do it, recommend you reopen the powerbook to ensure that all cables are securely attached.

IMovie -Problem restoring events after external hard drive failed.

iMovie 09 – The external hard drive failed where I stored my 2012 events. I do not have a backup copy of these events. I bought a new external drive and named it exactly the same as the old drive. Then I uploaded archived original video clips to it recreating the events. I used the exact same event names. However when I view the projects I made from the original events, I get “this clip’s media file is not currently available”. The file path I created should be the same as the old, so why does the project not recognize the recreated events? Any suggestions what I could try?
If I were able to retrieve and copy the old events from the failed drive to the new drive, would that work?
Has anyone successfully dealt with this problem?

That's a very interesting scenario that you've described. I've been concerned about a potential situation arising where I may need to restore Events from a backup drive. However, your situation is somewhat different in that you've had to re-import the Events to a new drive from an archive.
My main video drive is a Maxtor One Touch III Turbo comprising two 500GB drives set up as a RAID 0. So, effectively it appears as one drive totalling 1TB, with data being written to both drives simultaneously (but not mirrored). However, if one drive fails, the other becomes ineffective as it contains only partial data about imported clips (the remaining data being on the failed drive).
I backup the Maxtor to a portable 1TB drive by cloning it using SuperDuper. My thinking has been that, if the Maxtor fails then a simple rename of the backup drive to the same name as the Maxtor is all that will be required for iMovie to retain the linkages between Events and Projects. I hope this is the case!
I hope you get a solution to your predicament - sorry I can't offer any useful advice!

Problems after changing hard drives

Hello, I have a Toshiba L655 part.no PSK1JE (if necessary also put the serial no).I changed my hard drive by putting a new SSD, but I have problems in choosing the right drivers. I tried on the site, but I downloaded the drivers are not installed, as if they were incompatible. Could you kindly link me all the drivers needed to run my notebook? So save them and next time I have them all available. Thank You.

Satellite L655-121 (PSK1JE - 03H00HIT)
Downloads here.
For the laptop to work as designed, you need to install essentially all of the drivers and utilities at that site. The order is important. So start with a fresh install of 64-bit Windows 7. You should install the Intel chipset utility followed by the ATI display driver. I would install the other Intel drivers next.
Install the Value Added Package before any other Toshiba utility.

Can't boot OS X 10.6 dvd after changing hard drive

Hi everyone!,
I upgrade my hd on my 13" Macbook Pro 2.26 today. Now when i try to Install the DVD that came with the box called "Mac OS X Install DVD Mac os VERSION 10.6 dISC VERSION 1.0. My question is: Do i have to buy the Snow Leopard OS in order to install the OS in a new hard drive or is it something wrong on my computer? Thanks in advance!

It would be helpful to tell us what happened when you tried to install OS X. At this point I can only make broad suggestions. First, boot from the installer DVD as follows:
Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
2. Restart the computer.
3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Prepare your new drive as follows:
1. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
2. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
3. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
4. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
5. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
6. After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Complete the OS X installation.

Restore iTunes after a hard drive crash.

My computer crashed last week. Luckily I have been able to recover some of my data. However, I'm not sure if I will be able to get my iTunes back. And of course, I never did a backup thinking that this would never happen to me. On the up side, 90% of my library is on my iPod. If I am unable to recover the remaining 10%, would Apple allow me to download that data again if I still have my receipt?

If I am unable to recover the remaining 10%, would Apple allow me to download that data again if I still have my receipt?
Sorry, but officially Apple does not allow redownloads of purchased items other than iPhone/iPod touch applications. It's your responsibility to make backup copies in case something goes wrong with your system, as unfortunately it apparently did in your case, and you lose all the information on your hard drive. The official statement of their policy can be found here, among other places. If your hard drive was erased and you don't have a backup of all your purchased items and don't have them on your iPod, you're probably out of luck and will need to repurchase your tracks.
You can try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service and explaining what happened. Reportedly in some cases Apple has allowed redownloading on a one-time basis. But don't count on it.

HT201250 How to restore laptop from time capsule after replacing hard drive

How do I reload all my programs and files from a time capsule after changing hard drive? Also Apple store reloaded with Snow Leopard and not Lion. Will that be a problem? Thank you

Plug the external drive into a computer by usb or whatever box you have available..
When you say blank, is it correctly formatted.. we recommend HFS+ which is Mac OS Extended (jorrnaled)
Make sure you use GUID type disk setup not MBR if it came from PC world.
Copy the files via finder from TC to the external drive.

Trying to restore my Mac OS after a hard drive failure and my password is no longer recognized, however I can log in by double clicking on the Lion Icon? How can I reset my password

I am trying to restore my Mac OS after a hard drive failure and my password is no longer recognized, however I can log in by double clicking on the Lion Icon? How can I reset my password

First, make sure caps lock is not on.
Another reason why your password might not be recognized is that the keyboard layout (input source) has been switched without your realizing it. At the login screen, you can cycle through the available layouts by pressing the key combinationcommand-space or command-option-space. See this support article.
If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
Otherwise*, boot into Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. In the window that opens, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window opens. Close the Terminal window to get it out of the way.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
*Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.

How do I restore my data after my hard drive was replaced?

The hard drive in my iMac failed after I upgraded to Mountain Lion last week. The drive has been replaced and I'd like to restore files from my Time Capsule, if this is possible. However, when I enter Time Machine, there is a long wait while a dialogue box says "Connecting to backup volume" and then, when it becomes available, there are no previous dates before today listed and I can't move backwards, as I've done previously. I know that backups exist because I've used Time Machine before to restore files I've worked on to previous versions - and the capsule is still telling me that it's very nearly full of data. Is there a way to restore to a new hard drive, or is that asking too much of Time Machine? Please forgive my ignorance. I'm worried that I've lost a LOT of irreplaceable files.

Hi again. Okay, so I'm a little embarrassed because I just needed to wait and have faith. I'll leave this here for anyone who is panicking like I was today.
Essentially, I had to allow Time Machine to install a new back-up on the Time Capsule. I resisted this for a while and thought I'd made a mistake in allowing it when it had to discard an old back-up to fit the new one onto the machine. At this point, I was worried that I was losing a valuable older back-up in place of one of an empty-ish drive. But, once this back-up had completed, I was finally able to travel backwards and see the contents of my previous hard drive. I've currently restored my desktop and some personal files and tomorrow I'm going to go for the big targets, like my iTunes library.
Thanks, Apple.
