Time machine trying to restore Safari Bookmarks - can't

SO I've lost a folder in my Safari bookmarks. So I wanted to restore them from Time Machine. But with Apple hiding theUser Library in Lion - can't get to them on the backup!! Pretty insane really.
So any idea how I get to a later backup in Time Machine to see the hidden User Library that in it's wisdom Apple doesn't want us too get to? Which just floors me.

I did the terminal command to unhide it again. But every time Apple issues an OS update - it's hidden again. And the backups on the TC the library is hidden.
SO so far I haven't found a way to access the User library to get to the Safari folder.
I can't find a command to now show a user folder on the TC drive.

  • How to Restore Safari Bookmarks with Time Machine in Lion

    Hi -
    I want to restore my Safari bookmarks.
    I am running Lion and have a Time Machine backup with the correct bookmarks.plist file.
    The problem - as I see it - is that the "Library" folder - where the Safari bookmarks.plist file is located - no longer shows up (by default in Lion) in the Home folder.
    I fixed it so that "Library" does now show up in the home folder but since it was not set to show "Library" at the time the backup I need was done, it doesn't show up in the Home folder for the backup that I need.
    I have tried restoring the entire Home folder but this is not restoring my bookmarks for some reason.
    I even tried restoring the entire hard drive but that did not work either!
    It would seem that the "library" folder - even if it was hidden - would be restored when I did the entire Home folder or the entire hard drive.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Brillianrt! Worked like a charm.
    Then I found an easy solution to alphabetizing that doesn't require 3rd party software in a Macworld article:
    "Without resorting to external tools or dragging links about, it’s actually fairly simple to order the list. Make sure you can see a Finder window, or your Desktop, and the Safari Bookmarks window at the same time. Now just drag the folder (or folders) you want sorted from the Safari window to your Desktop—you’ll see the folder appear when you release the mouse. Switch to the Finder, and open each folder. Set the view to List view, and then close the window (not strictly necessary, but I’m a neat freak).
    Now drag the folder back into Safari’s Bookmarks window; Safari will treat it like a newly-imported folder of bookmarks and add it to the list. Open the folder in the Bookmarks window, and you’ll see your neatly-sorted bookmarks."

    So what is your question?
    If you forgot your encryption password:
    Warning: Make sure it's a password you will remember or write it down for safekeeping. If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and forget your password, you can't restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable.
    If you can't remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and chooseset up as a new device when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore.
    The above comes from here:

  • HT201250 I've been working on a newsletter and have the final version. But I wanted to check something in a version I did last week. If I choose the day in Time Machine, is there any way I can view that document without "restoring" it to replace the final

    I've been working on a newsletter and have the final version. But I wanted to check something in a verssion I did last week. If I choose the day in Time Machine, is there any way I can view that document without "restoring" it to replace the final version?

    You can drag and drop a file from TM to the desktop.
    Let's say your newsletter is on the desktop. First thing to do is to add something to the file name, say Newsletter_1.
    Next open TM as if it is just another external drive by double clicking the icon. (This is not the same as "Enter Time Machine" which you do when you want to restore.) The file hierachy in TM follows the same logic as on your hard drive. Navigate to the date you want, find the file you want, and drag and drop it where you want it to be. Because you changed the name of the most recent version you can both files in the same space.
    I do this often.
    But remember if you make a back up now you will end up with both versions in TM.

  • Restoring Safari Bookmarks

    I'm trying to restore my Safari bookmarks using Time Machine. No matter how far back I go with Time Machine, I get the same bookmark file (dated Feb 09 2007)
    I know I've edited it since then but can't fine it.
    Any help would be appreciated
    Thanks

    What date's shown on the current one in /Users/username/Library/Safari/? If none stored in TM are between that date and Feb 9, I suspect a hosed TM database. I can't help with solving that issue since I don't use TM.

  • How to restore safari bookmarks after osi update

    how to restore safari bookmarks after ios. update

    The only way is to restore from a useful backup, if you have one.
    If you sync the iPad to iTunes and use Time Machine regularly, you would likely have the appropriate backup to restore from. In that case:
    Restore the iPad backup set from Time Machine from a date before you overwrote the bookmarks. The location of the backup is ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/ (you can get to it by pressing Cmd+Shift+G in the Finder and entering this path).
    Connect the iPad, run iTunes and restore from the backup.
    If you use iCloud Backup, then you can restore from iCloud and choose which date's backup you'd like to restore from. You can check if you're using iCloud Backup by opening the Settings app on the iPad, then going to the iCloud submenu and looking at the status right below "Storage & Backup", where it would say "iCloud Backup is off." (or "iCloud Backup is on.", as the case may be).
    In any case, keep in mind that restoring from a backup means you lose all application data changes after the date of the backup.

  • How to access root apps folder again in Time Machine after a restore?

    I just did a Time Machine full system restore which worked, but now it doesn't look like Time Machine is backing up my root level apps folder. All of my root apps were indeed restored, but if I try to go into Time Machine with my (root) Apps folder open, it switches the folder contents to my user apps instead so I don't have access to the root apps in TM. It doesn't appear to be backing them up at the root level anymore either (nothing in the exclusions that would cause this). Any ideas on what happened here? I have just one admin level account on this machine.

    Hi everyone,
    I just reformated the MacBook hard drive using Extended HFS+, journaled partition to get rid of the case-sensitiveness, which is incompatible with just ONE of my softwares. As such, TM partition is formatted as Extended HFS+, journaled and case-sensitive.
    This mis-match is likely to cause trouble in the future. If you have, for example, two files named "FileA" and "filea" in the same folder on the TM drive, and try to restore them to your case-ignorant HD, TM is going to have a problem. I've never tried it, so I can't tell you whether it will overlay the first one it restores with the second, or crash, or what, but it can't be done.
    And you may have some of these without realizing it -- if you ever changed a capital to lower-case, or vice-versa, after a file's initial backup, it's a possibility.
    Indeed, I checked directly in the Time Machine tree on the external hard drive with Apple+I keys, and 'cubytus' was not listed in the permissions.
    No, TM automatically denies everything to everybody, among other things, in it's backups, to keep us mere mortals from messing with them. The original file permissions are kept separately, and TM should restore them along with the files, as they were.
    What you're probably seeing is, the user that you're signed-on as won't have those permissions, once TM restores the files. I'd suggest trying the same procedure as your other, or original user -- see if you get the same message.

  • Unable to boot after Time Machine full system restore!!

    I was having some serious slowdowns with my computer. I did multiple RAM and HD hardware tests, everything seemed to be working fine. I had recently deleted a bunch of files in order to free up some HD space, so I thought that may be the culprit. So I did a Time Machine backup and restored the Powerbook to it's original 10.3 software. All was fine. Then I upgraded back to 10.5 and all was fine. Then I did a Time Machine full system restore overnight and got the message "Your restore was successful, you must now restart your computer" (or something to that effect). Now I get the start-up chime and startup screen (apple logo) but then the computer shuts itself down. I have reset the PMU and PRAM to no effect. I have tried booting up in safe made, also no dice. I have tried starting it up with the time machine HD attached - doesn't help. I guess I'll need to hit the genius bar but wanted to ask the friendly discussion forum folks first. thanks in advance.

    Hi coldengray
    Did you try to start from your System-CD? Hold down C-key during startup, start DiskUtility from the menu and verify/repair disk and permissions there.
    If the CD is not available you can also connect your TimeMachine-Disk, select it as startup volume in System Preferences/StartupDisk, restart and then run DiskUtility from folder Applications/Utilities
    Good luck P

  • Panic... Time Machine deleted everything, restored nothing!

    My Imac internal HDD was severely damaged, so I rebuilt it using the last SuperDuper clone I had. Unfortunately, it was rather old, but my Time Machine is current. I started a restore on the contents of my user account, and it informed me I didn't have space for both the current and restore contents. I selected 'replace'. The first thing it did was delete the desktop icons, then told me I didn't have sufficient privalages to restore it. Another strange thing is it selected 350GB worth of files that needed replacing. No way that much has changed since my last SuperDuper clone. I'm assuming its not going to attempt to replace files that haven't changed.
    Anyway, my first problem is that I have insufficient privileges. I only have the one user account. Perhaps it is looking for 'admin', but as far as I know I never set a password for 'admin'. Is there a default? Bottom line, I'm in deep trouble. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Scott's answer is a bingo! As for your other question...
    I don't see why your Keychain should have anything to do with your privileges, since all it is is a utility to manage your passwords. As long as you remember the password that your administrative account has, Keychain doesn't make a difference.
    If you go to Applications:Utilities and open up the Disk Utility, you should be able to select your Mac OS X boot drive and Verify / Repair Disk Permissions, which may help out with Time Machine. It sounds like a lot of your files have gotten screwed up and if Time Machine isn't getting the right access it needs to one of its important files, that may be why it can't restore your back up. Give Repair Disk Permissions a try, and if you still can't get it to work, I'd go with a clean install and a restore from Time Machine.
    The reason why Time Machine might be trying to fix 320 GB of files is that your machine may have made teensy weensy changes to your files, as Mac OS X's Unix base is prone to do to keep your machine running well. Since Time Machine is looking for your files exactly the way it backed them up, you confused it by restoring with SuperDuper, which made the files look like they did before your Mac system changed the files and Time Machine registered those changes, so Time Machine wants to replace the files with the "newer versions", or it may be so confused as to want to simply ADD the new files and keep the existing ones too. Backing up with two backup systems is fine, but trying to restore from both can definitely complicate things!

  • Time machine won't restore back to lion

    Mountain Lion is causing me big problems. My external firewire 800 hard drives will not stay mounted and my fans are running at full speed after waking from sleep. Restarting fixes these problems until it sleeps again. Sometimes it takes several restarts.
    So I am trying to revert back to Lion the day before I foolishly upgraded to ML and Time Machine will not allow me to restore any of my old backup prior to ML. How can I get rid of ML without loosing data and taking up tons of my time?

    Time Machine will not allow you to go back to a previous OS version, unless you are running that version. So if you are running Mountain Lion, it will only restore to ML back ups.
    Others have done what you want to, if you have a OS X LION install disc/usb. You will have to manually copy over data as you should always back up your system regardless.

    "Time Machine does not provide bootable backups. Therefore, this is not the solution.
    If you bought Lion, you should be able to re-download it from the Mac App Store. (Sadly, Apple pulled the ability to actually buy Lion off the store). You should be booted to another volume other than the one you will be installing to. You may have to disable the installation on the disk you wish to move back to Lion. I'm not certain, but suspect that trashing the ML System folder would do the job. The Installer will probably notice the missing OS and allow the Lion install. If not, then you'd have to go to the root directory of that volume, make invisible files visible and trash the 'Kernel' files and try again to install Lion.
    Ideally you can use the Time Machine backup to restore just about everything else. But you may find everything works fine after the install.
    I beta tested 10.8 Mountain Lion and know that it had a couple remaining bugs upon release. That's what updates are for. I expect there will be a rapid release of 10.8.1 update via the Mac App Store. It may well be worth hanging in there with 10.8. It is most definitely an IMPROVEMENT over Lion, whose Finder bugs I absolutely hate. (But that problem may soon be solved with the 10.7.5 update coming soon).
    If you look around the net you'll find there are instructions for creating a bootable Lion installer DVD or USB thumb drive as long as you have the Lion Installer on a hard drive. Here are a couple with illustrations:

  • Time Machine will not restore backup files.

    trying to restore a backup to a new internal hard drive and time machine sees the  external hard drive with the backup but no folders. tried a couple of different  external hard drives and even installed new OS on the new internal drive. the original OS and the new are both Maverick and after three days of swaping drives and installing fresh installs of maverick and talking to tech support, i'm convinced the issue is in Maverick. anyone have a suggest without buying a third party package like Carbon Copy?

    I got something simular. I restored the whole TM backup and the mail messages from august '08 till 15 jan '09 didn't import. I can see them clearly sitting in Time machine but the restore button won't lit up. And I cannot go back in time cause it only ofers me the today option. What to do?

  • Why does Time Machine fail to restore and keep the original file after I have provided my Admin password?

    I'm attempting to recover a group of lost files from Time Machine. The files are backups from a mobile app within User/LibraryMobile Documents/.
    I'm able to find the lost files, but Time Machine failed to restore them after I select 'Keep Both' and then enter my Admin Password. The screen returns to the desktop and the finder window for the file I'm trying to recover, but nothing else happens.
    I hope someone can help.

    Still restores only the first 7 files of 955.
    I appreciate your efforts to help. That's a lot of files that are lost!

  • Time Machine won't restore a critical backup - disk space not sufficient error

    Using Time Machine Restore Backup says my Macintosh HD has 55 GB available. I need to restore a 50GB Time Machine Backup from an external disk to the Macintosh HD device as the transfer destination of the restore copy it it gives me a message 'This Disk does not have enough space to restore your system'. In fact trying to restore all my many time backups over the past months give the same error even though the backup size is less then my Macintosh HD destination.
    So I used the Time Machine software to delete many of my documents in the backup that I want to restore, now it is 30 GB through the Time machine finder, but restoring still gives me the same error. However, time machine made a new backup of my system today of 30 GB but when I go through the backup process using this, there is no error about there not being enough space.
    It seems although the finder in Time Machine recognises that file is just 30 GB, in the restore process it doesn't recognise that file has been reduced to 30GB

    If you're trying to add a large amount of data all at once, and you get an alert of insufficient space, then from the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Time Machine
    If the padlock icon is closed, click it to unlock the settings and authenticate. Turn Time Machine OFF, then back ON and close the preference pane. Restart the computer. Test.

  • After clean install of Snow Leopard, Time Machine did not restore all files.  When I try to restore these files I get "Not enough disk space" error.  What do I need to do to get these important files back onto my Mac from my external hard drive??

    For what the Apple Store's charge you can buy almost buy a new computer.
    Just for giggles I brought my old laptop in for a drive upgrade and asked, they wanted $600 for a drive that only cost $120 at the time and it was a slow 5,400 RPM drive. The new Mac's of a similar make were going for $1000.
    I did the drive replacement myself, got a faster drive of better quality for $300 instead.
    Then another time I asked for a RAM upgrade from 4GB to 8GB, they wanted to charge $400 + $35 for the labor.
    The same RAM is on Crucial.com for $90 and all I need is a 00 micro phillips screwdriver.
    So you see what's going on here.
    I think what you should do, if your out of warranty/AppleCare, is to call up the local PC tech guy who also does Mac's and have them fix you right up.
    They can offer more personalized care which you need. Clone your old drive to the new and everything.
    With Apple they are overworked at the Genius Bar and just place roadblocks so you buy a new machine instead.
    For instance, all new iMac's now have proprietary drive software installed on the hard drives for heat monitoring. So now the only choice a user has is to bring their iMac into a Apple Store for a very expensive drive upgrade, which a person then decides the money is better spent buying a new machine.

  • Unable to access time machine backup. The folder "Documents" can't be opened because you don't have permission to see its contents.

    My MacBook Pro with 750GB storage refuses to startup due to a problem with logic board (unfortunately I'm in Singapore and there is no Apple store here and zero customer support).  I'm trying to access some of the files from the time machine back-up using my MacBook Air with 120GB storage, but I'm unable to open the backup.  I receive an error message "you don't have permission to see its contents". Unable to access time machine backup. The folder “Documents” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents.
    I don't really want to migrate the data from the time machine to the MacBook Air as I simply don't have sufficient storage space on the MacBook Air.  The iPhoto library which I'm trying to access is 200GB, which is more than the size of the MacBookAir.
    Is there any way I can view the photos and documents stored on the time machine backup.
    Thank you very much.

    When you setup the Mac, you created a Admin user account with say name X
    You ran Migration Assistant and it migrated user Y from the Windows machine.
    User Y has different permissions than User X.
    User X can't normally access User Y's account.
    So what you do is log out of User X via the Apple menu and into User Y, this way you have permission to access the files.
    If you want to transfer files from User Y to User X account
    Transfer files between user accounts on the same machine instructions
    Finder > Go menu > Computer
    A window appears with your boot drive, double click on it to open
    Inside is Users folder, double click to open it
    Inside is your User accounts, double click on the one you want to send files too
    Double click on the Public folder drop the files into the DropBox folder,
    The permissions will change and can be used in the other user account when you log into it and moved to the appropriate folders.
    Applications are typically installed and kept in the Applications folder which is a global access folder all users can access to run them from, but not all users can modify unless they are a Admin user.
    Windows programs won't run on a Mac, but they can be instaled into a virtual machine program that is running Windows.
    Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?
