TimeCapsule archive feature - how do I access/restore files from archive?

I used to archive feature of the time capsule to back up the time capsule to another disk. Is there a way to restore from the archive with TimeMachine?  When I use the Browese Other Backup Disks option, I do not see the archive as an option.  Any ideas of how to proceed.  I have searched, but no luck finding a response addressing this so far.  Any help is much appreciated.  Thanks, mb

The archive will be a direct copy of the material on the TC.
So plug the USB drive into the computer, and mount the sparsebundle then you will see the backup under that and you should be able to then see it in Time Machine.
Exactly the same as you would do for a disk from the TC.

    How can I access video file from sd card on ipad2?

    Your iPad 2 will see the video if:
    It's in a DCIM folder on the top level of the card (which is how most cameras do it)
    It's name is 8 characters, no more, no less (CKDI9483 for example)
    It's a format that the iPad will play
    I've made mp4's of things, folderized them right and named them 'right' and can transfer them to my iPad, so you can use a computer to make the files conform to what the iPad will see.

  • HT3275 How do I find/restore files from items in secure home folder? How do I find/restore files that crashed when in finder of secure (File Vault) home folder?

    How do I find/restore files from items in secure (File Vault) home folder? How do I find/restore files that crashed when in finder of secure (File Vault) home folder?  When I go into Time Machine, I see earlier dates but can't see files in my User File. I have File Vault turned on and see my home folder as a sparsebundle.  Do I neede to restore this in order to see files in my home folder.  When I click on it to restore it gives me an estimated time of over 2 hours.  Also tried to restore an Excel file I was working on when computer hung, so lost it without saving or naming it.  Does it exist anyplace and can I restore it?

    Thanks. I had pretty much figured out from other posts that I had better turn off File Vault for my home folder and use a disk utility sparse bundel for little information I wanted to secure. The information about File Vault 2 in Lion was new and useful though.

  • How can I access onenote files from the iPhone?

    Hi there,
    I would like to explore the method of manually and regularly moving onenote files from my iphone to my PC so that I can view them on my PC.
    Is this possible? If so, can anyone please tell me how?
    I'm thinking this will require copying a file or something from my iPhone to my PC, but how?
    Thanks

    I wouldn't hold you breath. I understand what you say you want to do, but that is going in exactly the opposite direction that the industry is moving.
    Using MS's cloud based sync is not an "extra step". It reduces the effort to keep things synchronized on your part to nearly zero.
    If there is no 'trust issue' there, as you seem to imply, then it seems you are simply trying to complicate your life by refusing to use the application the way it was designed to be used.
    One Note isn't anywhere near being 'one of a kind'. It's one among many, and not a very good one at. It's bloated, slow, and cumbersome.
    Investigate other options, or use it the way it's meant to be used, but hoping that Microsoft will move in the direction you want to go is pretty much pointless.
    Tools like File Explorer can often do more harm than good. you were never intended to have access to the file system on the phone. One wrong move can really screw things up.

  • How do I access iPhoto files from other programs (i.e. PhotoShop Elements)

    From within many programs, specifically PhotoShop Elements or Adobe Bridge tonight, I navigate to "iPhoto Library" and can not access the files within the library to use in these programs. I can get there from within Finder, just not other programs. This is extremely frustrating...can someone please help?

    Of course - it is a database and you must use the correct access methods
    and for a photo editor like PSE you also need to explain what you are trying to do
    IF -- you want to edit photos within the iPhoto library then simply set PSE as the external editor in the iPhoto preferences - then you edit and save (not save as) and the database is automatically updated -- if you want to choose iPhoto or PSE as the editor then after setting PSE as the external editor set the external editor back to in main window and now normal editing will be in iPhoto but by right clicking on a photo in iPhoto you get a menu allowing you to use PSE for it
    IF - you are generally asking and want the general answer - all open (or attach) dialogue windows have the media browser in the lower left - look under media ==>pictures ==> iPhoto but if you use this method you can not just return photos to iPhoto - you must save as and then import into iPhoto

  • How do I access photo files from Aperture Vault for Lightroom?

    I am considering switching from Aperture to Lightroom on the Mac. Aperture uses Vaults to store its photo files. What is the proper procedure to access these files so that Lightroom can use them? If I switch, the files can be completely removed from the Vaults, but before I finalize the switch, I need to keep the files available to Aperture AND Lightroom (or at least, copies of the files available to Lightroom).

    Jao's suggestion will work, though you have to dig through a couple of package files. The advantage of Relocate Masters is that you can set up a folder structure that reflects the old projects, if you want, or break everything out into a date format.
    Rather than either way of trying to keep files in both systems, the better way to make a transition though is to use Export Masters because it can create sidecars which LR can read, so all your keywords and other metadata come across.

  • How can I access RAW files from a Canon 650D on PSE 9 or 10?

    We have versions 9 and 10 of PSE to install on two computers, upgrading from version 6 on one of them.
    We have two Canon cameras - a 450D and a 650D - and have taken RAWs on both. The 450 works fine with PSE6, but we can't get PSE 9 to take a RAW converter new enough to read the 650 files.
    We don't really understand the difference between CR2 and DNG so don't know what we might lose if we used the DNG converter for the 650 RAW files.
    Pat & Mike

    You'll have to upgrade to PSE11 to get native support for the 650D, or use the DNG converter to make your files compatible with an earlier version.

  • How to access PC files from iPad

    How can I access PC files from my iPad?

    Depends on what kind of files. You have to have an app on your ipad that can open those files and share them.
    You can download the icloud control panel and use that on your pc.
    http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
    itunes also supports file sharing:
    To transfer files from your computer to your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad:
    Connect your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad to your computer.
    In iTunes, select your device (below Devices), and click the Apps button.
    Below File Sharing, select an app from the list, and click Add.
    In the window that appears, select a file to transfer, and click Choose.
    The file is transferred to your device, and can be opened in the app you selected in step 3.

  • If I preformed a factory restore, and didn't restore from time machine, how can I access my files that were backed up?

    I wiped my Mid 2009 MBP and decided not to restore from time machine backups but now I need access to a few of the files from the pervious backup, how do I access those files? The previous backups are purple and inaccessible from the time machine window.
    Details: I use a G Drive to do my Time Machine backups.

    While in Time Machine, press the key combination shift-command-C. The front window will show all mounted volumes. All snapshots should now be accessible. Select the one you want and navigate to the files you want to restore.

  • How do I access time machine from different user account

    Hi there.
    Last week I had to take my comupter into the local Apple Store because I was having problems with Boot Camp.  The genius at the store had to delete everything from my hard drive and reinstall it from my external hard drive.  As part of the process she created a "Apple" user account.  I now want to restore some files (unrelated to this Boot Camp story) from my time machine archive.  However, all the files prior to this Apple Store encounter are red -- and it says I do not have permission to view them.  When I click "get info" it says that the "Apple" account has the read/write access to them and the option to unlock them is greyed out.  How can I get these files from the archive and get them onto my main user account where they belong?  The "Apple" account does not have a password so I think I can easily log on as that account, but I don't know where to go from there.
    PS The files in question are iTunes libraries.
    Thanks for your help.

    Ok, I fixed it.  Here's what I did.
    I logged into my computer under the Apple account.  Then I went into Time Machine.  I found my old files under Users-->"my main account".  I was able to restore those files to Users-->Shared.  Then I was able to log back into "my main account" and retrieve the files from the shared folder.  It worked!  Hope this helps someone else some time!

  • How to restore files from Time Machine after Clean Install of Mavericks

    How to restore files from Time Machine after Clean Install of Mavericks. I know the data is there but seems unaccessable because I may have changed the Computer or Owner name. Is there any way to fix that now?

    Hi Linc,
    my back-up data is managed by Time Machine; the actual data is on a second internal Hard Drive with a capacity of 1TB - not partitioned. I am using Time Machine and have access to all data backed up since Mavericks Clean Install but not the data prior to this date.
    When I open the 1TB drive in Finder I can see a folder "Backups.backupdb/Sigi's Mac Pro/ followed by many folders of backup dates going back to 2010-09-20-103441 and up to 2014-02-07-142414 all followed with folder Macintosh HD.  February 7th  2014 was the date of the clean install.
    These Backups are followed by backup date folder 2014-02-08-075554 with a subfolder of MacPro-320GB (this is the name I assigned to my Boot Drive during formatting; I suspect I should have assigned the same name as before ie. Macintosh HD) and 2014-02-11 with a subfolder Macintosh HD, these are the ones I get access to by way of Time Machine > Restore.
    Weird thing is on Febr 11 when I relised my possible mistake and renamed the Bootdrive back to what it was initially ie. Macintosh HD despite this I have access to all backup data since the Clean Install in both folders MacPro-320GB as well as Macintosh HD but not to any data prior to the Clean Install.
    Is there something that Time Machine knows and prevents access or is it simply a matter of renaming the subfolder 2014-02-08-07554/MacPro-320GB to ........./Macintosh HD?
    I like to restore selectively and not everything - It was hard work reinstalling apps that were supposed to be the troublemakers (ref my discussion on Maverick problems) but I now need to get onto data specific to some of these apps as well as other data I may have missed. Long story? Yes and sorry.

  • HT4859 Can't access my files uploaded to iCloud, yet iCloud shows 2 out of 5 gigs used. How can I access my files?

    I recently had an issues with my old iPhone 4s. I took it in to the apple store but the night before made sure I backed up my files to iCloud. After doing so I made sure my files were backed up because it went from 0 of 5 gigs to 2 of 5 gigs used. When I got my new phone, also an 4s, I tried to recover my contacts and pictures from iCloud, yet nothing happened. When I logged into icloud.com it shows no old contacts, actually none at all. I also can't figure out how to access my old pictures and files on icloud.com. When I go to icloud's settings on my iPhone it clearly shows 2 gigs of files yet when I try to restore the files to my new phone nothing actually gets added to the new phone. How can I access these files???? Anyone have any idea??

    just tried restoring from backup and it didn't list it as one of the backup options after i wipe out the iphone yet for some reason it shows up when i go through settings>>>manage storage. thanks anyway. i may have to bite the bullet and sit and wait for a few hours at the apple store, argh...

  • The circuit of my macbook is dead yet the hard drive is fine.  I need to access a file from the hard drive, how can i do this? is there a cable i can connect to another mac that will let me transfer the file?

    The circuit of my macbook is dead yet the hard drive is fine.  I need to access a file from the hard drive, how can i do this? The mac turns on the screen freezes as bright blue.  Is there a cable i can connect to another mac that will let me transfer the file?

    There is another option if the Macbook will start up in Target Disk Mode.
    Restart the computer while holding down the T key. If you see the firewire symbol moving around on the screen you can connect this one to another one in TDM. You will need a suitable cable to connect the two Macs.
