Viewing a backed up sparsebundle to recover a file

I'm reading this link from James and hoping someone can help me figure out how to find a file on a sparsebundle that is on an external drive.
This is an archived backup and is not the current sparsebundle that I am backing up with as there was an issue with Time Machine that I had to fix. I backed these up and I /need/ to get in here to see if there is a file there.
Thanks.

Synced media like app and music are not included in the backup that iTunes makes.
You can redownoad iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
You can only redownload the current version of an app.
If you need an earlier version such as you have a 2G iPod (those can only go to iOS 4.2.1)
Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

Deleting a back-up sparsebundle while retaining other computer back ups on time capsule

I have a late 2009 2TB Time Capsule that has 3 computers backing up to it which are fine, however one of the machines I will no longer be backing up to the Time Capsule and want to delete the sparsebundle for that particular machine. However it weighs in at 900GB and i've tried with it directly connected via Ethernet on one of my other MacBooks, Wirelessly on my iMac but it sits for hours saying its immediately deleting but no luck.
I tried showing packages on the sparsebundle and remove the bands but that takes just as long regardless if i select 20 or 200 or 2000 of the bands at once to delete.
is there a good way to delete this sparsebundle and recover the 900gbs to the timecapsule so my other back ups do not get limited?
Thank you,

How to quickly remove the sparsebundle using Mountain Lion and Time Capsule
1 Go to Finder and under Shared locate your time Capsule
2 Click on Time Capsule and Finder will reveal all your sparesebundles
3 Select the one you do not want and right click on this - select Show Package Contents
4 Select the folder called bands - right click and select Move to Trash
5 Watch all the bands disappear....
6 Go back to step 2 - select your sparebundle, right click and select Move to Trash
All gone. Now go back to Time Machine and start again...
Enjoy.

IPhone Calendar List View Extends Back Only One Year

My iPhone calendar List view extends back approximately one year despite the fact that I have calendar entries extending back to 1999 and that older data is visible under the Day and Month views. This is a problem because the only search mechanism in iPhone calendar is through the List view. Therefore, any search I conduct extends back only to the data in the List view ... which means back only one year.
Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on how I could change this such that the List view extends to include ALL of my calendar entries and is in conformity with the Day and Month views? (I wanted to ask if anyone knows how to "correct" this, but perhaps Apple has designed it this way to speed-up the searching in List view ... I'm not certain.)
I am currently running the most recent iOS update, am syncing my iPhone calendar via MobileMe, have upgraded to the new version of the MobileMe calendar, and have ALREADY reset my sync. history, deleted my iPhone calendar and re-synced it, etc. These don't resolve the problem.

I've noticed that the date to which the List View will "look back" will change depending on software updates or syncs.
For instance, a few weeks ago my List View went back to December 2009 ... now it goes back to Jan. 2010 (i.e. I lost a month of "look back"). I do not specifically recall what triggered this change, but I reset my sync. log during this period.
If you make no changes to the sync. log or update the software, the List View start date will stay constant I believe. For instance, if the List View goes back to Jan. 1, 2010 right now it should stay that way until you reset the sync. log or update the iPhone software. Theoretically then the List View can "look back" much longer than 12 months assuming you make no changes to the sync. log or update the software. Of course, this doesn't address our issue here, but I thought I would point out that there seems to be a consistent pattern here and not some random bug screwing things up.
I'm still thinking that this is the way Apple intended it to work. In other words, that Apple felt it necessary to limit the calendar search feature to approximately 12 months worth of calendars. I hope I'm wrong.

I was trying to back up my mac by using my external hard drive. Without realizing it, time machine erased all my backups from my other computers. Is there any way to recover these files? I can't even get the external hard drive to work on my pc.

I was trying to use my external hard drive to back up my mac computer. It had files on it from my pc computer. Time machine erased all my existing files. (I thought it was only going to erase the duplicate files and rewrite them). Is there anyway to recover these files from my external hard drive. My mac has renamed the hard drive time maching and it will no longer show up on my pc. What can I do?

Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

Access 2010 on 64 Bit Windows 7 Access "Not Responding" when changing from forms view to design view and back

I am running
Windows 7 64 bit
Access 2010 32 bit
Developing an application with a split FE BE with both files local but continue to have the message "Not Responding" when switching from forms view to design view and back as well as if I try to connect to a subform or object on the sub form.

I have seen this behavior when the form's RecordSource is a complex query such as a crosstab or a query with several nested queries. To test if this is your case, remove the RecordSource and see if the form starts acting normal again.
Then again, if the form has several subforms they might be slowing up the loading time.

My macbook pro hard drive went bad and i bought a new one and installed it. Now i have the old corrupted hard drive in my hand and i am looking to recover my files from it, any suggestions please? too bad i never backed them up.

After you have installed the OSX on the new HDD in your MBP, install the old HDD in an enclosure and connect it to your MBP via USB. Then try to drag and drop your data to the new HDD.
If this proves unsuccessful, you may look for data recovery software on the Internet. There will be free trails to see if it will work or not. If the trial suggests that it will work, then you will have to purchase the software.
The last resort is a professional data recovery service that will offer NO guarantees and charge a lot of money.
As you now can appreciate, backups eliminate such predicaments.
Ciao.

Keynotes '09
Version 5.1.1 (1034)

How exactly did you shut down your laptop? Not a hard restart (holding down the power button), I hope... if that's the case, then it is extremely unlikely the file is still intact on your computer. If it is, it would be an image on your RAM, and it is time-and-resource-intensive to recover it if it is even there. RAM memory is disposable and always being written over. Sorry dude...
If it wasn't a hard restart, Keynote should have made a backup, unless you 'Force Close'd it.
It really all depends on how your mac was shut down.

HT4759 How do I view my backed up ICloud files

How do I view my backed up iCloud files on my iPad

You can't view the files in an iCloud backup. You can only see the data in the backup by restoring it to your iPad.

Can I no longer view my back cover (or additional) artwork in iTunes 10.6???

Hello, I have gone to great effort to scan in and add back cover artwork to many of my albums.
It used to work that I could view the back cover (or any other additional artwork) that I added to a song by clicking a set of forward and backward arrows that were to the left and right of where it says "Now playing" or "Selected item". Now with iTunes 10.6 (maybe before) I can no longer flip through my songs that have more than one artwork graphic added. I've tried right clicking, opening the artwork into the separate window… nothing. There doesn't seem to be a way anymore to view my back covers.
Can anyone else confirm this, and if this is the case, can you all help me get on Apple's case and tell them to put this feature back in?
Thanks,
Andrew Jung.

In the release notes it says:
Improved album artwork handling, downloading, and display
This does not seem like an improvement to me.

Is it possible to view data backed up to iCloud (such as contacts from an old iPhone) without actually restoring the data to a device?

Can I view contacts backed up to the iCloud from my old iPhone without actually restoring the data on a new device?

If you have a backup, yes, You can restore the new device from the old backup. Without a backup, no.
Without a backup, and without the device, you no longer have any of your data to put on anything anymore.
You can redownload purchased content from the iTunes and App stores - just use the same AppleID as you did with the old device.

Column view jump-back

When copying files to another drive using spring loaded folders and column view the view snaps back to the root of the target volume. Seems like it only happens when the source object is selected from the same or a finder window.
Please check attached screen recording:
http://www.terning.net/finderbugs/column_viewjump-back.mov
This bug has been around for a while. Maybe even back in 10.4.x. Don't remember exactly. I have done an erase and install of OS X (for other reasons) and the problem still persists.
Can you reproduce this bug as well?

Yes, I've seen that. I'm pretty sure its a bug. I'd suggest going to bugreport.apple.com and letting Apple know about it. Make sure you include the steps to reproduce, as well as a link to the movie you have made (or attach it to the bug report). Good luck...
