Time Machine restore is grayed out even after selecting a file

(step one) I used Migration Assistant to restore a 2009 27" iMac with my Time Machine backup from my 2009 24" iMac that crashed.
(step two) I open Mail on the restored iMac, the inbox loads, my folders in "on my mac" are listed, but the email messages are not there. I click on one of the folders, go to Time Machine/browse other backup disks (which is the same time machine I used in step one) and I can see the old email messages when I "enter time machine".
(step three) When in the time machine interface, the tick marks are grayed out. The mail program is showing and I can select one of my folders and see the mail messages. However the restore button is grayed no matter if I select a folder or a particular email message.
(step four) I cancel out of the time machine interface, go to system prefs/time machine and mount this same disk as the new backup disk. The disk is 1 TB with 178 GB left from the old iMac. The time machine starts a backup and then stops with the error that there is not enough room to backup.
(step five) I go back to step 2 above, and have the same grayed restore button.
Please help! Thanks

Although you can restore messages from a Time Machine snapshot within the Mail application, it generally won't work with messages that were saved by an obsolete version of Mail. In that case, you have to use an alternative method.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
          Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it are subfolders representing your Mail accounts. The names refer to the email addresses you use.
Enter Time Machine and scroll back to the snapshot you want. Select the account folders you want and then select  Restore ... to... from the action menu (gear icon) in the toolbar of the snapshot window. Restore the folders to the Desktop, not to their original location.
From the Mail menu bar, select
          File ▹ Import Mailboxes...
Choose Apple Mail as the format and import from the mailboxes in the folders you restored to the Desktop. The imported messages will appear in a new mailbox. Move the ones you want to keep wherever you like and delete the rest. Then delete the folders on the Desktop.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Time Machine missing backups, grayed out dates

    My Time Machine disk is showing blacked out dates for some of my folders and no backups of those folders and files for those dates...There are earlier and later backups for some of the folders, but missing interim dates even though other folders were backed up. This seems to have happened after the Lion upgrade. Note: It's not a disc capacity issue, as my backup disk is 2 tb.....

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    To access to older backups through Time Machine, read > http://pondini.org/TM/B6.html When you get a new hard drive and install OS X in it, Time Machine creates a new backup instead of connecting it to the old backups you had, so you cannot access to those backups.

  • Gray Screen After Time Machine Restore

    I have an iMac running Snow Leopard (most recent update) I recently tried norton antivirus for the mac but found that it slowed down my mac too much so i uninstalled it with the uninstaller. The error i got was a circle with a line thru it at startup. After following steps on disk repair and permission repair i still couldnt get rid of this so I did a restore from time machine. I used the original disk (not the snow leopard upgrade disk) to reach the time machine restore. After trying 2 different backups I'm now getting the gray screen that asks me to restart my imac. I've unplugged everything else. The internal hard drive and ram are all factory.
    Any suggestions for a frustrated iMac user ???

    HI Corey,
    There are no Mac viruses in the wild. Unfortunately, you selected the worst A/V software possible. Here's a list of Mac users who installed Norton. http://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?search=Go&q=norton
    After trying 2 different backups I'm now getting the gray screen that asks me to restart my imac.
    That's a kernel panic.
    Thing to do now is a complete erase and install from your SL disc.

  • Macbook Pro will not boot after full time machine restore

    I have a 15-inch Macbook Pro, current model with the i7 processor, which I purchased in August 2010. Last week, when I tried to turn it on, it would not boot (just got to the gray screen with the Apple logo and spinning wheel). I took it in for repair and was told that it had a bad hard drive. The hard drive was replaced and I got the computer back yesterday.
    Everything looked good, it turned on, so I did a complete restore from my Time Machine backup on my Time Capsule, following the instructions on this page: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/15638.html
    The restore was successful and the computer prompted me to restart. I clicked the button to allow the restart and now I am back to the gray screen with the Apple logo and spinning wheel. It won't boot again.
    I also looked at this discussion (http://discussions.info.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10924233) and it sounds like the person here was able to get his computer to work after doing the Time Machine restore in the same process I used, so I don't know what else to do.
    I don't live near an Apple store, so it would be great if I could figure this out myself. Thanks for any help!

  • Computer wont boot after time machine restore

    Hi Guys,
    I did a time machine restore last night and after it completed and i did a restart the computer gets stuck on the gray screen. I waited like 2 hours and it still doesn't get past that screen. I have tried every boot shortcut including target mode, single user mode etc. One problem is that i have disabled sounds so i cant hear the chime therefore not knowing when to push and hold the "t" or "c" button.
    Am i doing something wrong? when do i start holding c or t?
    Even when i put the mac osx dvd in it won't even boot from that. also tried holding c and booting from the dvd and that doesn't work.
    please help

    Begin with the usual diagnostics in hopes of successfully booting your macbook. As Eric mentioned, have you tried booting with the Option key ?
    If that fails, try the following, before forced to a re-install of the OS:
    1: Boot up the machine via Safe Boot by holding the shift key. Since your volume is off, ideally you want to wait a second or two where the chime would come in. Note that if the safe boot is successful it will take some more time to boot as it checks for disk errors. Make sure and repair your permissions if you get through !
    2: If that fails reset your PRAM, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379

  • Need to re-authorize iTunes after Time Machine restore -bug?-

    After a ganked iTunes/Quicktime update I had to use Time Machine to restore my Mac.
    After trying to re-sync my iPod with iTunes I was informed that this machine was no longer authorized despite it being the same machine.
    I had to re-authorize the machine through iTunes and now have 2 authorized Macs even though it's the same machine and I can't de-authorize the "old version" since it just de-authorizes what you're using i.e. the "new version"
    My worry is that if I have to carry out further Time Machine restores then my 5 authorized slots will fill up and then I'll have to de-authorize all computers which you can only do once a year.
    Has anyone experienced anything similar and I assume this is a bug?

    Yes I've seen that and yes, it's a case of sending Mac OS X Feedback .

  • Can't Boot After New HD + Time Machine Restore

    So a couple days ago my 27" iMac running Snow Leopard started making some weird noises and stalling out. Annoyed, I talked for a couple hours with apple tech support which eventually lead me to run an Apple Hardware Test. This test returned the error
    "Alert! Apple Hardware Test has detected an error.
    4HDD/11/40000000 SATA(0,0)"
    I scheduled an appointment at the Genius Bar, and they replaced the hard drive.
    After that I got it home and did a System restore from my time machine backup. It finished fine, but when I restarted it got stuck on the grey apple screen with the spinning dial thing.
    I called apple back and they had me do a couple things like repair disk, verify disk, and one person had me reboot into this command line mode and type some stuff in. Nothing worked. After that They had me try to reinstall the OS first from archive, and next by erasing the hard drive and doing it. Both times the install fails with a big yellow exclamation point saying that it couldn't install support files and the OS couldn't be installed.
    Any ideas how to fix this?
    I'm currently trying to restore from my time machine backup again, but I'm not hopeful.

    Here's what I got - apologies for any formatting peculiarities.
    The problem: 10.6.6 mac won't boot after time machine restore to disk.
    Further symptoms: Booting with Command-v shows several errors: usually blued and loginwindow collapse with errors from launchd. Errors will be of the style "dyld: Symbol not found: CSSMOID_APPLE_TP_MACAPPSTORERECEIPT" and other CommerceKit / CommerceCore framework errors.
    A solution: Your Framework Security library may be an older version (possible cause with Time Machine below). The easiest way to fix this is to find another, working 10.6.6 Mac, and update the Security library on the broken machine.
    Identifying if you're affected:
    1) Boot the broken machine into "target" mode - hold "Command-t" during boot until the [Firewire|http://itunesu.utah.edu/terms/images/Firewire_Icon.png] icon appears.
    2) Connect the broken machine to the working 10.6.6 machine with a firewire cable.
    3) On the working machine, the disk of the broken machine should mount.
    4) Open Terminal
    5) Run "ls /Volumes" - the name of disk you mounted should be there (in this example, we'll use "Macintosh HD".)
    6) Typing in the path of the broken machine, run:
    <pre>
    nm /Volumes/Macintosh HD/System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Versions/A/Security | grep random_fd | cut -d. -f2
    </pre>
    (this does a dump of the library, looking for the version value)
    If this comes back with the value 22457 (or less?), your Mac is not booting because it does not have the updated version of the Security library, which is required in 10.6.6 since Snow Leopard added the Appstore / Commerce framework.
    Fixing if you're affected:
    1) First, make sure the working 10.6.6 Mac has a correct version of the framework:
    <pre>
    nm /System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Versions/A/Security | grep random_fd | cut -d. -f2
    </pre>
    For 10.6.6, this should be at least "22458"
    2) *Be extremely careful at this point* - Make sure on the mounted disk (not the machine you are working on!) run the following
    <pre></pre>
    2a) Make a backup of the broken library
    <pre>
    mkdir /Volumes/Macintosh HD/savedLibrary
    cp /Volumes/Macintosh HD/System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Versions/A/Security /Volumes/Macintosh HD/savedLibrary
    </pre>
    2b) Copy the working version over the non-working version:
    <pre>
    cp /System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Versions/A/Security /Volumes/Macintosh HD/System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Versions/A/Security
    </pre>
    3) Eject the mounted disk from the working Mac, disconnect the firewire cable, and reboot the "broken" Mac. It should come up.
    If it doesn't, you have problem(s) that are probably outside the scope of this. I'd also suggest restoring your original security library that you saved off.
    Suspected cause:
    It appears that Time Machine never recorded the change to the Security library after the update. If the library hadn't changed, the machine should have failed to boot like it did after restore the moment a 10.6.6 update was applied.
    Inspecting the contents of my Time Machine backups before and after updating shows that Time Machine never updated the Security Framework library - why is still not 100% determined, but restoring from it is definitely broken. Combing through the backup databases on my Time Machine disk:
    (I upgraded to 10.6.6 on January 6)
    <pre>
    for name in 2010-12-30-093337 2011*
    do
    echo -n "In backup on ${name}, version of Security library is: "

  • Apple Applications Crash After Time Machine Restore

    I recently had to do a full system restore using Time Machine. Ever since the restore completed, most of the Apple applications on my iMac immediately crash when I try to open them. Luckily, Disk Utility is one of the applications that does not crash, so I tried to verify/restore permissions, however, when I try to, I am given this:

    In addition to not being able to run about 95% of my Apple applications, I can also no longer connect to my Time Capsule Time Machine backups. I am able to SEE the files in the built-in hard drive, but I can not mount the sparsebundle for the backups of any of my computers. I am however able to access them on a different computer. Also, if I try to use System Recovery from my Snow Leopard install disk again, it can't find any backups on my Time Capsule, even though my other computer can view the files with no problem.
    Any help with any of these problems would be greatly appreciated.

    I had a couple of apps start crashing today, with basically the same stuff in the crash reports.
    Reinstalling Safari (which also reinstalls the WebKit and JavascriptCore frameworks, which seem to be part of the problem) worked for me.
    I found that solution here, after Googling for "Symbol not found: __ZNK3JSC6JSCell17getTruncatedInt32ERi":
    http://www.meproxsoft.de/tag/time-machine/
    I know very little German (even though I took German in high school-- it might have helped if the teacher actually knew English), but I managed to get "repair permissions" and "reinstall Safari" from all that.

  • Reactivate software needed after Time Machine Restore?

    So I'm getting ready to upgrade the HD in my MBP and I am going to try the time machine restore feature (hopefully) to reload the new HD to exact status of old HD. From what I've read this is pretty easy to do. What I can't find in my searches is if all the apps on my HD will need to be reactivate after this procedure.
    Once I restore the new HD does all the software need to be reactivated? I have a ton of apps that I have no idea where the serial #'s are and would be screwed if I had to reactivate them. Or does the restore to the new HD work seemlessly so that it's as if I didn't even swap HDs.

    The only 'problem' I've ever had after a restore was with the MS Office for Mac suite 2011. It required me to either re-enter my activation code or sign-on to my Office 365 account (I did the latter).
    Never had a problem with Adobe products, though. I can't guarantee that you won't, of course, but I've personally never had a problem with Adobe products.

  • Problem after Time Machine restore

    So i just did a time machine restore since i replaced the HD in my old macbook, and whenever i start up the machine it stays at grey screen and eventually pulls up a folder with a ? mark. But if I hold down option at start up and select the drive, it boots fine, even if i do a restart from start up settings in system preferences it works fine. Just if I'm booting after shut down, it won't work without holding option key, Is there something I did wrong, or anyway I could fix it?

    Are the specs for the replacement drive, especially for power consumption, similar to those for the original drive? If not, it may be that new drive takes too long to spin up from a cold start or some similar, specification related issue is causing this problem.
    You also should make sure that the partition scheme of the drive is not MBR & that the file format of the startup volume is "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)." Disk Utility will tell you both of these characteristics when you select the drive & the volume respectively from the list on the left. (Look at the bottom of the window for this info.)
    You can also try resetting PRAM & then reselecting the startup disk in the system preference.

  • Time machine restore resets after 1% completed

    I am at the multi-language welcome screen, I get to the appropriate Time Machine restore backup and it begins. After 1.2% completed, it just takes me back to the multi-language welcome screen. No restart, no chimes, like nothing happened. I'm restoring from a 2-week old backup via USB on my 4 month old 15' MacBook Pro.
    Please! I need this thing for work tomorrow and am desperate, the restore will take 9 hours and I'm getting frustrated.

    Check that the data cable to the drive is firmly inserted at both ends. If the drive is bus-powered but has an AC adapter, connect the adapter. If it's connected through a hub, connect it directly to a built-in port. Try another cable. Failing all that, continue as below.
    Starting from a fresh installation of OS X, set up a new administrator account and log in. You should now be able to enter Time Machine and restore your user data from a snapshot.* I suggest you do this in two stages. Quit all applications except the Finder before you begin.
    Restore all the visible items at the top level of your home folder.
    Hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar. Enter Time Machine and restore all items in the Library folder. Log out and log back in as soon as the restore is complete.
    Any other invisible folders or files at the top level of your home folder that you want to preserve will have to be restored separately. For most users, that isn't necessary.
    You'll have to reinstall all third-party applications from scratch, or restore them from another kind of backup, if you have one.
    You'll have another problem if this is a new computer, or if you erased the startup volume: Time Machine won't continue your previous snapshot series, but will instead try to begin a new one, starting with a full copy of all files. There might not be enough space on your backup volumes for that. There are different ways of dealing with that situation, depending on your needs. The easiest way is to set your backup drives aside, if possible, until you're sure you'll no longer need the data on them, then erase them and start over. Meanwhile start a new backup on one or more empty storage devices. If that solution isn't workable for you, ask for instructions.
    *If you don't see any snapshots in Time Machine, exit the time-travel view and then hold down the option key while selecting
    Browse Other Backup Disks...
    from the Time Machine menu, which has an icon that looks like a clock running backwards. Select the backups of your computer by its previous name. If you don't have the Time Machine menu, open the Time Machine preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked
    Show Time Machine in menu bar

  • Mountain Lion Server Web Server not working after time machine restore

    Our Mountain Lion Server (mac mini) lost its drive yesterday.  We got a new mac mini and did a time machine restore.  Everything in the Server seems to be working (users, groups, file shares, etc) except for the web server.
    Trying to connect to the server results in safari not being able to connect to the server.  Even just clicking on the "view server website" link in the Server app doesn't work.
    We've tried stopping / restarting the services.  We have confirmed that the files in Library / Server with the web pages were restored.
    Are there any gotchas, troubleshooting steps or guides anyone can point me to?  I'd like to get our wiki back.
    Thanks
    Jeff

  • After a time machine restore my iPhoto won't open

    A few days ago my iPhoto went completely crazy.  I had quadruples of some pictures and events.  My photo amount increased at least 300 percent to 222,000 pictures.  After reading about what to do I did a time machine restore to the iPhoto before this problem happened.  After restoring my iPhoto it won't open at all anymore.  I have version 9.5.1 of iPhoto.  I have not yet downloaded the Yosemite upgrade because a program that I use often is not compatible.  How do I get my iPhoto to open with the restores iPhoto?

    How did you do the "restore?" Did you restore the library from the pictures folder?

  • FCP X does not recognize projects and events on USB drive after a time machine restore of the MBP macintosh disk

    FCP X does not recognize projects and events on USB drive after a time machine restore of the MBP macintosh disk.
    I upgraded from an i5 to an i7 15" MBP and restored my files using my time machine backup. All seemed to go ok, except I had to use the migration assistant because on the initial boot the MAC didn't recognize the backup database on the USB device. MAybe this is a hint.
    Since when I start FCPX it too cannot finnd the project or event directories.
    Before my upgrade, I had a choice of files either on the Macintosh disk or the 2TB USB disk.
    Now only files on the Macintosh are accessible to FCPX. The USB drive is visible under events and project but it finds no projects or events.
    Please help if you can.
    Thanks

    Thanks... alas no one has responded.
    I think I have the structure that you are recommending.
    I have a root level directory (Final Cut Events) with the files in them.
    The puzzling thing is that it used to work before the migration!.
    Anyway I'm going to move the contents to the root and see what happens.
    On a slightly different note...
    I also posted a question about CPU utilization. Can I ask a question or two?
    While rendering a short clip, I noticed burst of disk activity when the render started (likely loading the media files into ram since I have about 4Gigs available, then almost no activity while the render is happening, then more disk activity when its done.
    However the cpu activity is not as high as I would have expected since rendering requires a lot of cpu.
    What is your experience? I know some render is done by the GPU, but in my older i5 the CPU was about 100%, now in my i7 its about 50%.
    Please look at the attached utilization for CPU and disk activity.
    Thanks for any thoughts... Barry
