TimeMachine's backup not found

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone could help me out with the following issue. Few days ago, since I decided to format my MacBook, I had made the backup through Time Machine before. The backup went right. Subsequently, I formatted using the original CD. So far, I haven't had any problem. But, as soon as I tried to recover my data through TimeMachine, something went wrong. It seemed to me that the backup was executed correctly, but, after the backup was done, I couldn't find where those files are. By checking the hard drive, I noticed that it is half loaded with the backup's files (there are many GBs in there), though I can't find them. Did I do something wrong during the process? What can I do in order to get the process executed right?
Thanks for your kind attention,
Stepphi

i returned them back but still couldnt find them on the itunes specially the songs and the movies.
what do you mean by do it in the correct way can you explain more?

Time machine - backup not found yet visible

Hello,
I am having trouble setting up Time Machine on a new Macbook Air running OSX Yosemite 10.10.
I have an external hard drive connected to a first generation Airport Extreme, and it is running fine and backing up on my other computer, a MacBook Pro which is running OS X version 10.7.5 and AirPort Utility 6.3.1.
Yet when I purchased the new Macbook Air (listed above), which is using Airport Utility 6.3.4, upon opening Time Machine, it is not able to see my backup disk. It just keeps saying "Set up an AirPort Time Capsule that is not listed here." When I click "Setup" it brings me to the AirPort Utility, and I can see my AirPort Extreme, and further, when I click on my AirPort Extreme and "Edit" I am able to see my backup drive under the "Disks" header. There is plenty of space as well.
Any reason why Time Machine is not able to see my backup disk, despite being able to see it in AirPort Utility? I As I said, it is working fine on the MacBook Pro.
Many thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Apple never officially supported Time Machine backups to a drive connected to the USB port of the AirPort Extreme, Generations 1 through 5.
Some users were able to make this work, and some were not up using operating systems up through Mountain Lion (10.8.x).
Apple pretty much shut off the capability to even try this when Mavericks (10.9.x) was introduced, and this continues through Yosemite (10.10.x).

IPad Cloud Backup not found

I have been using a school purchased iPad for a few months, using my own private account, and have enjoyed it so much that I just bought my own. Had to return the school's first, but did a complete cloud backup with it. Double checked it - it completely backed up, had plenty of memory left, and everything was fine. So I did a factory reset on that device and turned it in. Got my new iPad today, signed in and selected iPad Cloud Restore from backup, and it tells me there is not a cloud backup for my account. Seriously? The two iPads were identical in their specs also.
What do I have to do? This should be a piece of cake, but clearly something is messed up here. Do I have to remove that old iPad (disassociate it from my apple ID) first (using manage devices in itunes?) - that seems like it might be risky and might get rid of the cloud backup if it's still there somewhere.
Thanks for any help.

Wasn't using a mobile device to access me.com, or Safari. I am using the *same* ID/password that my iPad was using - the same one (the only one I've ever had) on iTunes too. I am 100% sure it backed it up - it completed the iCloud initial backup process without an error message, then I went back later in the day and looked at "Last backed up: 8:37am", which was the time I completed the backup process. I checked the amount of space the backup consumed, and it wasn't much, but was something like half a gigabyte, leaving me with about 4.5gb of iCloud storage space remaining. All of it seemed to be extremely indicative of actually backing up the iPad. So at that point, instead of backing up a second time, I went ahead with the factory reset on the device and turned it back into the school when that was done.
Now I am getting no other options on this brand new (bought from Apple.com) iPad to restore from iCloud backup. This blasted me.com message is all I see. I tried entering in a wrong email into the login/password, and the error message came up there (where it did not give an error message when I logged in with the correct login/password), which seems to tell me the login/password are not the problem.
This is really enfuriating. I followed apple's rules for using iCloud as a backup, bought a brand new product of theirs, and now none of it is working and I seem to be at risk of losing my backed up photos and programs and settings from the old iPad. Really not pleased with this purchase at this point and need more help. Is there an official place I can call or go besides here?

Backup not found

i backed up my iPhone through itunes, because I was thinking of starting all over as a fresh phone... But once that was done i realized there wasn't any point in doing that cause im missing all my information...
Anyways after that i decide to finally restore from my backup which i save everyday ever since i got my iphone (so i basically backed up my iphone 730 times over 2 years) so I go ahead and restore and then when it prompts me to choose the desired backup, I don't find any of my iPhone 2G backups,
At that moment i felt like crying (I had 2 years of picture memories in my iphone, like 1000 contacts, notes... and now i have none)!!
If you are aware of a solution, Please let me know!! I would be really thankful...

i returned them back but still couldnt find them on the itunes specially the songs and the movies.

Time machine fails backing up with a "backup disk not found" error after upgrade to Lion 10.7.2

Time machine fails backing up with a "backup disk not found" error after upgrade to Lion 10.7.2. I've erased and reformatted the drive; reconnected Time Machine(it saw it) and began a new backup. The backup starts again but fails before completing with backup drive not found error. I used the 10.7.2 combo update. Any help on how to fix this problem would be appreciated.

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
After waiting since October for a fix, I have now upgraded the firmware on the Time Capsule and installed the new Airport Utility, released yesterday, and the situation is even worse.
Up until now, the Airport Utility had an option to disconnect all drives manually and the Time Capsule would then work until the next reboot – a temporary (?) work-around.
Now that option does not exist in the new-look Airport Utility. And the Airport Utility installation can’t be rolled back and the old utility won’t restore.
The sparesbundle is still not accessible. Anyone worked out a work-around in the new environment yet?
I have another Time Machine backup working fine to a trusty old Lacie Drive so erased the one on my Time Capsule to see if that works. I have renamed the Capsule and the Time Capsule Drive. But to build another full backup will take at least two days and I shall be away from tomorrow and am reluctant to leave the Capsule and computer up and running for a week. And I’ll bet the sparsbundle will still be nowhere to be found.
How can Apple screw up so badly when they are to become the richest company in the entire world and – soon – will have more cash in the bank than the entire United States? Can’t they afford someone who really can sort this out? Especially when a Firewire connected hard drive – my trusty and simple LaCie – works fine.
Words, almost, fail me.

I'm sorry for repeating this, but i have not found a clear answer. i have a macbook wit iTunes library, an iMac, and a time capsule. how can i transfer my itunes library from TC backup to the iMac? thank you -

i'm sorry for repeating this, but i have not found a clear, step-by-step answer in several hours.
i have a macbook with iTunes library, a new iMac, and a new time capsule. how can i transfer my itunes library from TC backup to the iMac?
(sharing the iTunes library between the macbook & iMack requires both machines and seems silly ...)
thank you -

No.

I get errors trying to set my IPAD back to the factory setting. error: backup session failed. If I try to sync I get 3 more errors - 1) the IPAD cannot be synced, an internal error occurred. 2) required file not found. 3) folder specified instead of fi

Any help with errors setting IPAD back to factory setting? I received this error when trying to back up - backup session failed. Has any one had the following errors when trying to sync to computer?
1) the IPAD cannot be synced, an internal error occurred. 2) required file not found. 3) a folder specified instead of file.

Hi Andreas,
yes there was a archive backup at nearly the same time. It has also got an error:

Why HTTP 404 Page not Found when trying to Backup Configuration?

Good day:
I bought this RV082 VPN Router. After configuring it, I tried to save its configuration using the System Management's Backup Utility. When I set everything up and ready to proceed, as I click on the Backup Configuration button, I get this Page Not Found error.
After several additional retries, and cold startup of my laptop, I still get this.
Then I wondered, "Why don't I try to upgrade the firmware instead?".
Guess what: I get the same page not found error.
Can anyone tell why is this? Using Windows 7 Pro 32-bit.
Thanks in advance!
Javier.
P.S. I have replied to another thread about not getting connected with Quick VPN to the RV082, which is another painful trouble I've got with it.

Hi Rybak,
Thanks for your reply.
Try to clean the Cache for TFS 2013 manually(delete the content of the folder only, not the cache folder itself):
Clean the Cache folder on Server machine. The folder path is:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 12.0\Application Tier\Web Services\_tfs_data.
After cleaned, on Server machine, click Start and select
Run… to open the dialog box, then input iisreset.exe and click OK, wait it run completely.
If clean Cache cannot resolve this issue, please try to repair your TFS 2013 Update 4 Server, then check the result.
Additionally, you can run TFS 2013 Power Tools BPA to scan the installation of your TFS Server.

Backup drive and transferred files not found

I recently purchased a time capsule. I transferred some files from an older hard drive to the TC (they appeared on the TC) and then backed up my PowerMac G5 (wired directly) and my MacBook Pro (wirelessly) to the TC. The initial backups for these two computers worked fine, but I am now encountering two problems.
1. The files I originally transferred from the old hard drive now don't appear on the TC (although it looks like they might be there based on the amount of TC drive space occupied). Is there anyway to access these older files (assuming they are still there)?
2. Frequently when I try to enter TC from the PowerBook Pro, it says that hard drive not found. Also, it doesn't back up automatically. The only back ups are those I have done manually. The TC seems to be working fine with the wired PowerMac G5.
I would appreciate suggestions on either topic.

1. Have you changed the file sharing access on your Time Capsule since you copied your files? When you use the Time Capsule file sharing without accounts setup you have access to all of the disk. When file sharing with accounts is enabled you have access to a Shared file (where everyone has access and where your Time Machine backups are kept) and then to your own personal file (where only you alone have access). You no longer have access to anything that is not in the Shared file or your account file. If you have enabled account access then I would suggest turning it off which would then give you access to the whole disk and then moving the files you are referring to either into your Shared folder or your Account folder.
2. Go to System Preferences, Time Machine, and then Change Disk. Select the name of your Time Capsule (this won't overwrite or delete any of your previous Time Machine backups). This should hopefully fix the problem.

Cannot inherit backups as sudo tmutil not found in terminal

I get a "sudo: tmutil: command not found" message on terminal when I am trying to inherit backups as per the fantastic instructions on the website by pondini. What does it mean and how can I correct it?
My old backups on time machine are not highlighted on time machine so cannot restore them. This is either because I have restored the OS or repaired the external HD used for backups.

Lets' see....The thread is titled "Cannot inherit backups as sudo tmutil not found in terminal".
The OP just replied "Any idea what would be equivalent for 10.6.8 to inherit backups? Or is it even possible to do so for 10.6.8?"
The question was asked in the post right before mone. I should have highlighted that, I guess. Sorry.
To answer your second comment, I DID "go to the website" and looked for information. Including finding this thread.
DId not find an answer.
For anyone out there looking for an actual answer beyond "go find it yourself", the fact is that you CANNOT reconnect a backup in SL. THIS asnwered my question and I hope it helps others looking for the same.

Need help-WLC4402. Both primary and backup images not found

I didn't find any procedure to upgrade from bootloader.
1. Run primary image (version Not Found)
2. Run backup image (version Not Found) (active)
3. Manually update images
4. Change active boot image
5. Clear Configuration

Antonio,
The only way to recover this WLC is with the TAC - you need to up load specific files, only they will give them to you.

HT1926 My itunes won't open because it says "This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem" Can someone help? I don't want to delete it altogether due to needing the phone backup

I was given notification to upload the latest version of itunes recently, so I clicked installed. However it has since corrupted my itunes and I get the error message:
"This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem".
In poor timing, I have also accidently damaged my phone and have a new one to restore it to an old back up.
It is because of this I am reluctant to completely delete itunes off my computer and start again for fear of losing my back ups.
Is there another way to fix iTunes so I can open it again?
Thanks

When I start my computer I get a "AppleSyncNotifier.exe Entry Point Not Found message. I also get an error message when trying to sync with iTunes that a backup session cannot be started. How do I fix this?

In the last few days when I start my computer, I get a box that opens with "AppleSyncNotifier.exe" Entry Point Not Found in the title.
It says: "The procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQlite3.dll.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and still get an error message when trying to sync my phone with iTunes
"iTunes could not back up iPhone ####, because a session could not be started with the iPhone."
The last time I tried to sync my phone (iPhone 3G S) with iTunes, everything seemed to freeze up at Stage 4 of the sync process.
Any advice????

With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
Reboot and see if all is well
In case that your OS is Windows 7 (64 bit)
1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
3. Open new windows explorer, to to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
4. Paste file "SQLite3.dll" to the location.
5. Reboot your computer, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
Good Luck
