Travel Back In Time????

I screwed something up in IPhoto and can't seem to figure out how it happened or how to remedy it....
Is there a way to reset my computer to an earlier activity history (i.e. before the screw up...like yesterday?)- I remember being able to do this on my P.C......will I need a Flux Capacitor or what?
Thanks in advance-
PowerBookG4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Your Flux Capacitor in this case is called Backup. If you have a b/u then you can revert otherwise SOL.
Maybe a post in the iPhoto forums with the details of what you did and want to undo might help you.

Report Open balance for Customers back in time

Dear All,
I would like to have a question: How can I report Highest Balances for Customers back in time? So I have to list Date and Amount, in the last one year, when Customers had their Highest Balances (highest outstanding amount). I have a transaction that can show actual status but I cannot report it for a long period in the past.
Does anyone have an idea how could I do it?
It would be very helpful.
Thank you!
A.

Hello,
Solution Manager does not desal with Customer Balances. Perhaps you wanted one of the banking industry forums, or FI AR/AP?
In any event this question will not help you much in this forum.

When I bring up my Mozillafirefox, all I get is a window with a blank white screen, (and the firefox logo). (After using Firefox very happily for over a year, I had to 'reinstall' Firefox 3.66 about a month and a half ago, (and lost all my bookmarks as a result therein), and hope I can get my firefox back this time without having to reinstall. Mozilla Firefox is still listed as one of my active programs). HELP! Is there a way to get my firefox back without reinstalling? Many thanks!

How do I delete time machine backups if I can't zoom back in time?

Hi,
I'v been backing up my 250GB HD using time machine very successfully over the years. I store additional home movies that aren't on my HD on my time capsule machine in a seperate folder from the backups that are made daily. My 250GB HD is now full and it has been duplicated and placed on a much larger 1TB HD drive back inside my iMac. Because it is a new HD, time machine is wanting to do a new 250GB backup of it (which is ok), BUT there is not enough space on my time machine drive to do a 250GB backup. I need to delete the prior time machine backups to make space. However, because the HD is new, I'm unable to zoom back in time with time machine and delete backups from the time capsule. When I open time capsule in finder I see a .sparsebundle folder which I assume must contain all my old HD time machine backups. To free up time capsule space, can I simply delete the .spersebundle folder? I'm nervous to do that and don't want to mess anything up, so I'm asking for advise. Any advise would be much appreciated. Thx.

That's a problem, as you now see. When you get this sorted out, see #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for an explanation and some workarounds.

You can see and delete individual backups from an old drive, per #E3 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting. Deleting a lot of them will take a very long time, of course.

Yup, that's an option, too but will also take quite a while. See #Q5 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for details.
Whatever you do, by all means, connect via Ethernet cable if at all possible. It will still be slow, but be 2-3 times faster than a good wireless connection.

After Authorized Service Provider my Mac went back in time and I lost everything!

Yesterday my screen started showing weird horizontal lines, so I took it to an Apple ASP for a quick look.
First I created a new Admin account to protect my existing admin account. The guy would be using this one throughout his diagnostic.
The guy opened the back of the notebook, tweaked the cable connecting the screen and the logicboard, and turned the notebook back on.
After that he said he would perform a quick analysis/diagnostic that all ASPs do upon starting a service. The diagnostic showed that my battery needs to be serviced, everything else was fine.
His conclusion was that the screen needs to be changed as the cable cannot be changed without the screen. I got the notebook back, and he recommended I buy a new used computer, as servicing both the battery and the screen would cost at least 700-800USD in itself.
-> So fine, I take the computer back home, and turn it on. I log into my own personal admin account, not the one I had created for the guy.
Result:
* My notebook has jumped back in time: applications and files are missing; settings are odd; and worst of all......
* my Safari no longer opens: it says
Safari cannot be opened because of a problem.
Check with the developer to make sure Safari works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X.
Background:
Last fall I had the same issue: I had upgraded my Snow Leopard to Lion in 2011, and later to Mountain Lion last fall 2012. After doing so, my Safari no longer opened, saying the same as above. Without Safari I could not update anything, as to use App Store one needs Safari as a background software.
So I needed to do a clean install of my Lion and my Mountain Lion, and I did so while partitioning my harddrives to two partitions.
Now:
I seem to be back in time, re-experiencing what happened last fall. Meanwhile I have lost everything I had on before taking the notebook to the service: I lost my Safari, its settings and open browsers, but I also lost a whole bunch of other features, apps, etc.
I tried returning to a restore point in my Time Machine - no difference. The issue with Safari persists.
I don't want to do another clean install, it took a lot of effort and would require me to invest in a new external harddrive of 2TB. If there is a way to restore Safari without a clean install, I would prefer it.
Please help! Much appreciated.

Dear ds store, thank you for replying. If I may clarify, I am not looking assistance on the screen or battery issue, it was just to give the background as to why I had to take the notebook to an ASP and why the guy had to do a diagnostic with the notebook.
The problem is with Safari not opening, and with my OS X going 'back in time' to a restore point where my earlier problem with Safari occurred. I don't understand what the guy did to reverse my OS X to a distant point back in time in last November, and why my Safari problem reappeared even though I had done a clean install to fix it.
Thank you!

Why has my iTunes gone back in time?

Hi,
Sorry if this has been asked before but I couldn't find the right answer.
I loaded up my iTunes (windows Vista) that I have had for over 3 years. No new updates on iTunes or the PC and yet once it was open it was like it went back in time and loaded up all my songs, TV programs, films etc from about 2.5 years ago! Stuff that is not even on my PC (that I know of) anymore!
All new songs etc are not on iTunes at all. Very odd. I wont sync my iPhone now incase I lose all the newer stuff.
Any ideas or help?
Thanks

change your display settings.
control panel->adjust screen resolution->highest(32bit)

Back in time with rman ?

Hi,
I have a rman set of backups from an Oracle database. The database is ok, only the user wants to have that older stand of the data, so I must go back in time.
The rman script to generate the backups is as follows:
rman target sys/manager@EON1 catalog rman/rman@rman << EOF >> $LOG 2>&1
run {
configure retention policy to redundancy 2;
# debug on;
allocate channel d1 type disk;
backup incremental level 0
skip inaccessible filesperset 10 noexclude
format '/u0/oracle/backup/INCR_%s_%p'
database include current controlfile;
release channel d1;
sql 'alter system archive log current';
allocate channel d1 type disk;
backup skip inaccessible filesperset 50
format '/u0/oracle/backup/ARCH_%s_%p'
archivelog all delete all input;
release channel d1;
report obsolete;
delete noprompt obsolete;
allocate channel for maintenance type disk;
crosscheck backup;
release channel;
allocate channel for delete type disk;
delete noprompt expired backup;
release channel;
EOF
My database world is Sybase, a little bit Oracle skills too but no rman.
Can anybody describe me the steps to restore that backup set?
Thanks a lot.
Daniel S

1. shutdown and backup your database (!!!).
2. start in umount mode
3. rman target sys/manager@EON1 catalog rman/rman@rman
4. at the RMAN prompt perform a point in time restore/recover, e.q.:
restore database until time "to_date('19.01.2009 13:00:00','DD.MM.YYYY HH24:MI:SS')";
recover database until time "to_date('19.01.2009 13:00:00','DD.MM.YYYY HH24:MI:SS')";

How can I force Time Machine to make a complete backup of my Hard Drive. I just installed a new external drive for Backup since my previous one failed. Now when I back up, Time Machine only backs up my data folder and the Users folder.

How can I force Time Machine to make a complete backup of my Hard Drive. I just installed a new external drive for Backup since my previous one failed. Now when I back up, Time Machine only backs up my data folder and the Users folder.
When I start a backup. Time Machine says "Oldest Backup: None; Latest Backup: None", so it seems like it should do a complete backup, but it only does a partial.

Hi I'd like to jump in here. Your app showed me this:

          Time Machine details may not be accurate.
          All volumes being backed up may not be listed.

          /Library excluded from backup!
          /Applications excluded from backup!
Aside from the size of my backup drive, which I will increase at some point, I'd really like to have time machine backing up all system folders, especially Applications. How to I reset this hidden exclusions?

I have had to restore my pc to a place back in time when it worked correctly. This meant that iTunes was deleted. I have now downloaded the latest version of iTunes but I cant sync my iPad with it. I get the message that this iPad is synced with another iTunes Library and cant sync to this one. Thankfully all my music library is on iPad. I would be grateful for some help on this issue

[solved] Back In Time restoration process

Hello,
I have a basic question related to Back In Time backup program and the procedure of the restoration process. As far as I understood, Back In Time allows me to create a one-click snapshot of my entire root system (I only need / and not /home) which can then be restored to give me an exact replicate of the system at a given point in time.
So, let's say I save this snapshot on my external hard disk and my system crashes then, i.e. it no longer boots. Thus I cannot launch Back In Time to restore the snapshot.
How would I proceed in this case?
Is it possible to boot from a live disk, install Back In Time and then launching Back In Time in the live environment to restore my system with one click?

Updated to 4.0 version and when it finished loading I got 4 identical Firefox icons on my desktop. I went back in time on my computer to go back to an order version and Firefox won't open or is very slow to open.

Do a clean (re-)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
* Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
* It may not be necessary to create a new profile, so first try if it works with your current profile and if not then create a new profile.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

HT201250 How to change Time Machine back up time

Is there a way to change the hourly Time Machine back up time to once or twice a day?

Tidy wrote:
Now I have my original back up on time capsule which time machine can't see and it keeps starting over again to make a new backup - so my time capsule disk shows two separate backups one the original one of 2 days ago named for my computer and a new one almost the same gigabytes (139gb) which it has called Macintosh sparse bundle ????
It's possible the first one is damaged, but that seems unlikely, unless you turned the TC or Mac off while it was trying to do a backup. But even that shouldn't cause TM to start a new one (absent any messages to that effect). And it shouldn't be named "Macintosh" unless you've changed your computer name to that via System Prefs > Sharing.
A clue may be lurking in your logs. Use the widget in #A1 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting to display the backup messages from your logs. Locate both backups in question, then copy and post all the messages for each one here. (Since the first backup has been a couple of days, the widget may not show the messages for that backup; if not, the pink box shows how to use the Console app to find them.)
With the messages from both backups, we may be able to see what's going on.
I'm thinking that I should just leave time cap ON and see which it backs up to then delete the other one.
Let's see what we can find first.
I assume connecting iMac to time cap via Ethernet cable would not be a problem?
Correct. Doing the first, full backup via Ethernet is recommended.
Also if just turning time machine off is enough to disrupt time capsule backups how about turning the iMac off, which I will have to do once in a while.
Neither should be a problem, unless a backup is in progress and either the TC or Mac is shut down abnormally.

I was copying a movie project to my hard drive from and external and I received a notice that it wasunable to do so due to my time machine being too full. Now when going to time machine, I am only able to go back in time 3 days?? Why? JMB

Not sure where my old backs up went, in time machine. I am only now able to see 3 days ago? Did it delete any old stuff after it gave me a message when I was attempting to download a movie project to my hard drive, and it told me that I was out of space? Is there any way now to go back in time? JMB

See Pondini's TM FAQs for starters.

I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard and foolishly upgraded to Yosemite. Is it possible to go back in time with Time Machine and reinstall Snow Leopard. Then upgrade to Lion or Mavericks? Any other ideas on how I can exit Yosemite?

I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard and foolishly upgraded to Yosemite. Now have numerous problems. Is it possible to go back in time with Time Machine and reinstall Snow Leopard? Then upgrade to Lion or Mavericks? Any other ideas on how I can exit Yosemite?

Once you get yourself back to Snow Leopard, if you still want to upgrade somewhat, I would suggest the following:
1. Get an external hard drive that you can use for experiments with new OS versions. You could partition it into 2 or 3 partitions. You could then clone your existing Snow Leopard system to one partition using Carbon Copy Cloner (well worth $40) or SuperDuper ($25).
2. Buy OS X Mountain Lion for $20, through the Apple online store (I don't think it's available through the App Store). Apple has decided to make it very difficult for anyone to get Mavericks unless they have already downloaded it.
You will receive two e-mails from Apple, one containing a PDF with a redemption code, and one with the password you will need to unlock the PDF. Using the code, you will download Mountain Lion from the App Store, where it will appear among your Purchased items.
After ML finishes downloading, its installer app will launch itself. When you see this launch screen, QUIT the install app immediately! Go to your applications folder, find the Install OS X Mountain Lion app, and copy it to a safe location outside of your Applications folder. Keeping one or more copies will allow you to reinstall without unnecessary aggravation if you later need or want to do that. At this point, you can re-launch the Installer in the Applications folder and let it run. You can install it on a clean partition on your external HD, or you can allow it to upgrade the Snow Leopard clone you created on your external drive, or you can do both. This should allow you to test how everything works for as long as you like.
3. If you left yourself a free partition on your test drive, try a clean install of Yosemite and set everything up from scratch (do not migrate anything). This will allow you to see whether your problems with it were related to something in your Snow Leopard system.

Can i set a pdf document to print back to back every time?

have had a look through the help menus but no luck, just wondered if i could change the print settings so that when people open the document it automatically prints back to back every time? thanks in advance.

No.
If you could, what would you expect to happen when someone without a duplex printer prints it?
