time machine How can a make archive so I can restore if needed?
I have had time machine disappear several times in the past
I would like to make an archive so if needed I can restore the oldest parts of the files.

They are mutually exclusive. I run my bootable clones on an occasional basis although they can be scheduled. If you put them on one external drive, partition it so each has its own space.

    Open Time Machine to the date that you know the iPhoto Library is in the format you want and select and Restore it.

    In v6 airport utility "Join a wireless network" is not available once the TC is setup.
    You must reset to factory and try again using the selection options.. and it can fail or not come up.. This is an extremely poor way to setup a TC.. and you should NEVER EVER DO IT.. that is why apple removed it. Since you are joining wireless it makes no difference where the TC is located.. since it would become a dumb AP and turn off its ethernet ports.
    Place it right next to your main modem router, plug in by ethernet, and select bridge mode and create a wireless network. Never use Join a wireless network..
    However for completeness here is the method.
    How do I setup my time capsule with wireless internet?
    Never ever do it.
    If you need internet by wireless and backup to the TC.. then simply plug the TC directly into the Mac.
    Run dual network.. Setup explained here.
    Using Time Capsule hardwired to Mac for back-up only.

  • Preferences are missing for Time Machine,how can I fix this?

    Preferences are missing from Time Machine,how can I fix this?

    Please don't SHOUT!
    We're all users here and you'll get more help if you give us some coherrent information.
    Firstly, do you have an external Hard Drive connected to use for your Time Machine backup?
    Secondly "stacks" is not a programme; it's one method of presenting folder icons in the dock, and is accessed from the 'view options' choice which appears if you click on the folder. Right-clicking the folder will go straight to the options menu.

  • Mail deleted a current inbox and restored an old deleted inbox. It won't restore from Time Machine, and I'm missing archived emails from the old account. I'm pretty sure there is other stuff missing, but it's hard to tell. Any ideas why it would do this?

    Our Mac was working fine last Monday, then Tuesday morning one of our current inboxes was gone, and an old, archived inbox was restored--twice. Other than some trouble-shooting on Tuesday, we've pretty much left things alone as we were busy doing other stuff.
    I tried restoring the files from Time Machine, but it didn't work. I followed plisk restore instructions--nothing. It's a mess. We have no idea what would have caused this. We're above average users--we weren't mucking about with anything. It was just so strange.
    I went back into Time Machine, and it just makes no sense that I can't restore anything. We're now missing important emails--nothing too tragic, but still a pain in the butt. Thankfully the current inbox that was somehow deleted had a back-up on our email server, but the archived/deleted inbox file that was magically restored had all the archived emails that we kept deleted.
    Any ideas would be wonderful.
    Thanks!

    Hello,
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk.

  • I just got a new MacBook Pro, and I tried to bring across my files from my last mac using time machine. After it was done copying I can't find my files anywhere but the space (about 130gb) has been used on my hard drive. Help please!!

    I just got a new MacBook Pro, and I tried to bring across my files from my last mac using time machine. After it was done copying I can't find my files anywhere but the space (about 130gb) has been used on my hard drive. Does anyone know how I can get to them? I did change my user name from 'user' while it was copying, could this have something to do with it?

    You don't want to do that by copying.
    Your best bet, by far, is to use Setup Assistant.  If your Mac is running Snow Leopard, see Using Setup Assistant on Snow Leopard or Leopard.
    If it came with Lion, it's a bit different: Using Setup Assistant on Lion

  • HT201250 Time Machine: How to create a backup at one moment and keep it forever?

    Hello, friends,
    When I'm about to install something on my Mac, I'd like to create a backup with Time Machine, so I could simply restore it in case something goes wrong.
    I know Time Machine saves only hourly/daily/monthly backups, but can I do a "backup now", so this moment with show when I Enter Time Machine?
    Thanks!

  • Time Machine - How to restore into Lion from SL TM Backup?

    I have a TM backup (on a QNAP NAS), from a Snow Leopard Mac Book Pro that I no longer have. I now have a 2011 iMac with Lion pre-installed on it.
    How can I access the Time Machine backup from the Snow Leopard MBP to restore some files?
    When I look at the TM backups on my QNAP web gui, I can see the backups, but the TM on my Lion iMac doesn't see the SL backup. I can't even see where you would tell the Time Machine software to use a different backup source to restore from. TM preferences pane is pretty plain jane.

    And unrelated to your present issue, but valuable information read my post here as well.

  • Time Machine - how to remove a dead disk from Preferences?

    Time Machine Preference pane shows me 3 disks to back up to.  One of these, Drive1 , has not been backed up to for months. It always shows as waiting to backup.  That is because it is dead.  It has been replaced by Drive3.    Preference Pane shows Drive1, Drive2, Drive3.
    How can I delete Drive1 from Preference Pane?  It will always give me the Time Machine Error: "the backup drive is not available"
    Can't see a way of doing this.
    All suggestions appreciated.

    Eric, thank you.  That looks exactly like what I want to do.  But .. I can't  see how to do this.
    Here's a screen shot of Time Machine Preferences.  I want to delete "Vault1" because I lost the disk 2 months ago.  I can't.
    You show an action that I don't have available to me.  My set up is Software  OS X 10.8.2 (12C60)
