Time machine shows wrong date

When i go into Time Machine it says the last back up was Sept 2037! I checked the computers date and time and it is correct. What do i do now?

Marvelous isn't it.
Try the following:
Eject the Time Machine drive
Move the TimeMachine plist file to the Desktop (it is located in /Library/Preferences)
Reconnect Time Machine.
Initiate a Backup.
Check the last backup again and see what date it says. I hope that it is right this time.

Time Machine restored wrong data

OK - the history here is the previous Macbook was replaced because of system problems, including many files with FUTURE dates (eg. 2037). Apple store agreed after repeated issues, they would replace the machine. We did a final time machine/capsule backup before taking it in.
Got the new Macbook and ran the Migration assistant to restore all data from the time capsule.
The data was not correct, and I suspect it was something to do with the future dates.
I can open the sparse bundle backup file and see the correct backup information, but I have no option when I open Time Machine to pick ANY previous backups.
This all started with Macbook problem, and I'm really thinking they should figure this out - but assuming they wont, I'm looking for suggestions on how to safely get the 'real' information recovered from Time Capsule.
Thanks
Dan
PS - OS X Lion on both systems - Macbook Pro 15" i7, 750GB

Possibly. Migration Assistant uses the most recent backup, so if the dates were wrong, you may have gotten the wrong data.
You should be able to see the other backups -- but you may need to start from a different user account (Migration Assistant creates a new account, and the transferred account may not have permission to the backups. See Problems after using Migration Assistant for an explanation.
A better option may be to do a full system restore, from a different backup. See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #14 for detailed instructions. You'll want to pick a backup from before the dates went wrong.

Time Machine Displays Wrong Date of Backup

My computer shows the correct date of November 9, 2008, but the Time Machine Backup displays September 14. Can this be fixed?

Actually, this does not need to be "Fixed". You are probably seeing the date the backup files were first created. Was that the date of your first backup? That is OK, +DO NOT+ change anything on the backup drive directly. If you need to delete/modify files that have been backed up, do so through the Time Machine "time travel" interface.
If you click the Time Machine Dock icon (round green clock icon), you will enter the Time Machine interface and see all the backups that have taken place since you began.
Cheers!

Time Machine shows a backup this morning at 11:58 but I didn't have the external hard drive plugged in. How is this possible?

Because the drive was disconnected Time Machine made a local snapshot on your Mac.

Use Time Machine for transferring data to new drive

2008 pre-unibody 17" 250GB MacBook Pro4,1 - 2GB RAM, 10.6.8, 2.5ghz
How can I use Time Machine to transfer data to hybrid 1TB Seagate SSD?

Hi V.K., was just reading your instructions for jumper25 about transferring all info to a new HD and had a question. I am in the same situation where i have bought a new 320Gb to replace the OEM 120Gb in my MBP. Everything is very straight forward from what you have posted but i only have the original Tiger 10.4.9 install DVD and I am running Leopard 10.5.5. Will I be able to use my Tiger install disk and then use my TM back up even though it Leopard? Or will I need a Leopard install disk to complete? Also is there another way around this problem if i can not use the Tiger disk such as mirroring the 120Gb disk on to my 320Gb?
Thanks in advance for your time and expertise.
P.

Time machine gives wrong size in lion 10.7.4

The hard drive has a total size of 250 gb but time machine gives wrong size of 750 gb??

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Select "system.log" from the file list. Enter "backupd" (without the quotes) in the String Matching text field. Post the messages from the last backup, beginning with "Starting standard backup."
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Do not post many repetitions of the same message.
Some personal information, such as the names of your files, may be included — edit that out, too, but don’t remove the context.

HT201250 Does time machine compress the data in backup?

I have got to replace my internal hard drive so have to back up just everything to an ext drive.
When I use 'time machine' to back up to an external disk, does that disk have to be larger than the file size on my iMac?
Does Time machine compress the data?( eg will 1TB fit on a 500 gig external drive?)
Thanks

No, Time Machine doesn't compress the data. I recently started a new TIme Machine backup, and the first backup required the same amount of space as it was backing up (actually a little bit more during the backup process).

Aggregate table showing wrong data

Hello Gurus:
I am working on an issue, where a report is showing wrong value for an aggregated fact table.
If I try not including it in query, then results work fine. But by default BI server is pointing to aggregate table ( which it should ).
So my questions are
1) Does Aggregate tables are refreshed automatically with DAC?
2) I know data is wrong in aggregate table. How do I verify?
3) How to make a particular report hit regular table instead of aggregate table?
Please let me know.
Thanks.
~Vinay

Alright. So I made some progress on this issue, HOWEVER it is still not solved.
1) Aggregated tables are refreshed daily with DAC. There is a script for that on server which is created using Aggregate Persistence wizard.
2) ONLY one column is showing wrong data. I have verified this using Toad. However I dont know why is it showing wrong data. Theoretically it should be fine.
3) this question is still same.
How to make a particular report hit regular table instead of aggregate table?
Please help me out.
Thanks.

Report showing wrong data

Hi Gurus,
When we are generating report in the answers in one column it is showing wrong data from where i have to start for this issue.
Thanks,
Rafi

Pull that column alone,run report, compare the results with your manual query, and also compare the physical query.
if all are good then try to add other column from any other dim and then do the same as above
repeat till you know the cause.
Pls mark if helps

Time Machine displays wrong 'Mounted At' Name for TC

I made my Time Capsule the primary router in my home network and imported the config file from the Airport Extreme to speed the setup but now Time Machine shows the 'Mounted At' name as "<NetworkName>AirportExtreme" as opposed "<NetworkName>TC" (see below). I can't seem to change the 'Mounted At' Name displayed in the Time Machine Preferences display. Any suggestions?

The configuration file is xml..
So you can edit the name.. directly .. save the file and import it.. it isn't a great way to do things but I have tricked stuff before like that..
But in this situation it is still a different product.. if it was from one TC to another I would say go ahead.. or one extreme to another .. sure.. but you are using an identical configuration .. for two non-identical products.
syDN ..
That maybe the name which is listed in a local DNS table in the TC.
In mine it has the TC name.
<key>syDN</key>
<string>Tardis4</string>
... Changing it has what effect. I don't know.. you can try.. change it and see what happens.. but that is still working around the idea that a factory reset and redo of the setup maybe faster and will surely be better.

Time Machine shows no last backup date or oldest backup date

Hi,
Sorry for the long title and if this question has already been posted, a search didn't show it up. I'm running leopard 10.5.6 on my iMac 2.4ghz intel, and the time machine icon in the menu bar has stopped showing the date of the last backup and when I check in sys pref no date info is shown for the most recent of the oldest.
Anyone have any idea how to cure this.
Thanks.
Jez.

I have been using TM for about a month with a new LaCie d2 Quadra. I do not know how this is calibrated for dates. When I activate TM it shows today. For anything back from there it dates everything January 17, 2009 6:45 PMCDT until it goes back to February. In the spot indicating the latest backup it is Jan 17 09 6:45 PMCDT for today. What do you think is responsible for time and date being the same and the actual backups are dated with the wrong date going back until clicking back in time it's the Jan. date until March 20,2009 January 17,2009 6:45 AMCDT. I tried the com.apple.TimeMachine.plist idea. No change.

Hi,
sounds like the timezone setting in the WLS server is messed up. Is this happening with the integrated WLS in JDeveloper or a stand alone (remote) server ? In WLS you can set the timezone in setDomainEnv.cmd or setDomainEnv.sh in WLS_HOME\user_projects\domains\<domain_name>\bin
(on Windows)
set JAVA_OPTIONS=%JAVA_OPTIONS% -Duser.timezone=BST
(on Unix Based OS)
JAVA_OPTIONS=${JAVA_OPTIONS} -Duser.timezone=BST

Time Machine Recovery (after data recovery)

Several months ago, Disk2 and Disk3 in my 2007 MacPro 1,1 (OSX 10.7.5) became unreadable by the computer. To make matters worse, the Time Machine external backup became equally as unreadable. All at the same time! Drive 1, with the operating system, seems to be unaffected. The two unreadable drives showed up as "media" in disk utility, but didn't show up in Disk Warrior or any other similar programs (partition repairing) using the "terminal." I sent the Time Machine drive (WD Mybook Essential 3Tb) to DataRecovery.com and they found no phyical issues with the drive. There was, however,"Data Corruption in the file tables and data area" (according to the evaluation report). This was corrected and the TM drive was supposedly completely recovered.
Upon receiving the external drive (now replaced by a newer 3Tb Mybook), I replaced disk2 and disk3 with new 1TB drives (formatted with a single partition) and tried to perform a restore for these two drives. No such luck.....The drive was readable by the computer but would not actually enter into "Time Machine." I examined the actual drive and found an inordinate amount of Unix executable files, especially when going into the individual backups. The drive does show that they recovered 870Gb of information, but nothing seems to be readable much less recoverable.
I'm wondering if there is a workaround for any of this or whether I should contact the data recovery people to resolve this. I appreciate any help on this as it's become expensive and a bit deflating.......I still hold out some hope, though. Thanks. The drives were most likely corrupted by a generator that kicks on once a week (automatic maintenance) and temporarily cuts power long enough to turn the computer off...I've since gotten a UPS.

A general look at backup files......

Restoring iTunes from Time Machine after losing data on iPhone. Help please

Hello,
I updated my iPhone 5S to the latest 7.0.5 today but for some reason it wiped my iPhone and I had to restore from an iTunes backup. However I then realised the last time I made a backup to my computer was 3 months ago, so when it restored it was only correct upto 3 months ago. All my SMS messages in that time has disappeared plus photos and old conversations I had stored on my Skype app. Strangely notes I had made in the "notes app" were still up to date?
I then tried to restore from iCloud however it made a new backup in the meantime so also has a backup of my iPhone as it was 3 months ago.
I do have an Iomega Ego backup drive plugged into my Mac Mini so Time Machine does back up my Mac Mini every hour.
So my question is, can I restore iTunes as it was before I updated my iPhone to 7.0.5? Will that bring back all my old text/SMS messages, photos etc..? Or will it not work as I have now updated my iPhones to the latest OS?
If it does work how do I actually restore iTunes, are their particular files I need to pick and is there a risk with doing this? For example will it cause conflict issues on my Mac Mini and iPhone.
Apologies for all the questions, never had this happen before and I'm a bit relucatant to try it just in case I do something wrong.
All help appreciated, thank you.
I have a Mac Mini running Mavericks and an iPhone 5S that now has the very latest update 7.0.5.

If you don't have a backup of your iPhone that you made with iTunes right before you updated to 7.0.5, then you can't restore your iPhone from that backup. You can't restore from a backup that you don't have.
Notes.app is synced via iCloud, so that's why you still have it. Music on your phone syncs via iTunes.
If you have your music in iTunes on your Mac, then all you need to do is select the music you want on your phone and then sync your phone via iTunes (either with a USB cable connecting your phone to your mac, or via iTunes wifi sync).
If that music is in your external HD backup, but not in your Mac, you have to move it from the backup to iTunes in your Mac.
