Access Time Machine with different administrator
I have a 2012 MacBook Pro and am running El Capitan. I had to wipe the drive and reinstall El Capitan. When I set up the drive reformatted, I used a different administrator name. Time Machine, I cannot access all the files that have been backed up before I reformatted the drive. Is it possible to do this?
Pls see this Apple Support document on how to change the name of the administrator. Change the name of the OS X user account and the name of folder on your Mac - Apple Support
Might be a good idea to restart the MacBook then good luck.

Different users accessing the data with different rights
Hello
I just started with Oracle and I don't know if
This is the right way for what I was intending.
I want to allow access to the data (tables, views,...) to different users with different rights.
For example a user with select only the rights and another with select and insert rights.
Database Oracle 10 g Express Edition is.
Here are the steps I did:
-This user will be allowed to select only
create user UserSelectOnly...;
-This user will have select and insert privileges
create user UserSelectAndInsert...;
-This user only contains data
create user BaseDB...;
-creation of test in BaseDB data
create the table tdTest (...);
-definition of role in BaseDB for right to select
create the role RoleSelectOnly;
-granting SELECT privilege for RoleSelectOnly
Grant select on tdTest to RoleSelectOnly;
-select grant (role) to the user UserSelectOnly
grant RoleSelectOnly to UserSelectOnly;
-definition of role in BaseDB to select and insert privileges
create the role RoleSelectAndInsert;
-grant select and insert privilege for RoleSelectAndInsert
Grant select, insert on tdTest to RoleSelectAndInsert;
-grant select and insert (role) to the user UserSelectAndInsert
grant RoleSelectAndInsert to UserSelectAndInsert;
My problem is that the definition of user (BaseDB) works as a database.
Are there more effective ways in Oracle 10 g Express?
Thank you
WilfriedHello Wilfried and welcome to the forum.
First of all, it's a property that you have given time to review the security of the database.
My immediate comments:
You have 3 users:
-This user only contains data
create user BaseDB...;Very well, good thing. Use an administrative account/data owner.
You might consider locking when you do not have administrative tasks in the schema.-This user will be allowed to select only
create user UserSelectOnly...;-This user will have select and insert privileges
create user UserSelectAndInsert...;OK, but no need to take account of their privileges in the names. You could simply call their
SomeUser
AnotherUserYou have two roles
-definition of role in BaseDB for right to select
create the role RoleSelectOnly;-definition of role in BaseDB to select and insert privileges
create the role RoleSelectAndInsert;Seems ok, it's a good thing here for the description of privileges in the role itself.
Maybe I would call them something like
RoleSelect or RoleRead or BaseDBSelectRole
RoleInsert or RoleWrite or BaseDBUpdateRoleShould be updated (and DELETE), as well?
Another approach would be to separate between the tables.
For a group of tables, select, insert, update, delete are granted to a role.
For another group of tables, different privileges are granted to another role.
That is, there is no general answer, correct, it depends on your application.
Often the roles are used for ease of maintenance. In other words, if you have several users who need
the same set of privilege, these are maintained by a role.Maybe you don't want to use roles, but I like them.
But attention not onlySelect on all tables to a single role
Insert on every table to another role
Update on all tables to a third party role.Unless, of course, it gives meaning to your scenario.
My problem is that the definition of user (BaseDB) works as a database.
Are there more effective ways in Oracle 10 g Express?Not sure what you mean. Schema in Oracle and user are often used for the same thing.
In your case, BaseDB is the owner of (all) the tables, no problem.
As mentioned, you might choose to block the account.The main thing is, no application, or ad-hoc user should log in as BaseDB
And the users of your system should be exactly the privileges they need to do their jobs
nothing more, nothing less.Concerning

External drive access time machine files
I backed up an external hard drive with time machine, but now the external hard drive is dead and does not connect to my computer. How can I enter time machine and access those saved files? Because the player won't connect (USB), it does not appear when I'm in time machine.
Mac OSX El Capitan 10.11.4
Thank you
Tracy
Open time Machine and come back a few days in time using the interface
Click on the name of your Mac in the DEVICES of direction on the left panel
Two readers... the two Macintosh HD (unless you have changed the name) and the external hard drive is displayed
You can navigate to find the files you want, or select the entire disk
Right-click on the name of the external drive and select restore to
Navigate to the destination where you want to restore the files

How to set up backup Time Machine with MacBook?
Hello community:
I wonder what is the best way to configure a Time Machine backup with a new MacBook.
Because the device has only a USB port that is also used to load, I don't really feel comfortable that I can only backup wile, the MacBook is on battery. That doesn't seem fair.
One possibility would be to use the adapter USB C AV that she can continue to charge the MacBook while being a USB hard drive is connected. But I'm not a big fan of having to deal with three cards for a simple task like a backup.
Apple promotes wireless with the MacBook. One possibility is to use a (rather expensive) Time Capsule or a NAS that takes care of Time Machine.
There are now hard drives wireless market. Does anyone have experience with these?
I'd be curious to know how you do it.
Thank you!
Ideal for keeping backups Time Machine 'behind the scenes', you want to use the solutions SIN or Time Capsule. You can also use a 802.11ac AirPort Extreme with a USB external HD as well.
Don't forget the partial backups will occur at least once per hour after the first full backup is made to take full advantage of what offers Time Machine. Although the connection of an external disk directly to the MacBook would potentially offer the best performance of overall data transfer, it must be connected.
Unfortunately, I have no experience with hard drives wireless so I can't help you there. Because they would have to connect to the same network of Wi - Fi as the MacBook, all backups would go first the wireless AP, then, on this disc. I can only imagine the performance of data transfer to be a little dismal at best.

problem of Time Machine with SSD external
Hello
I recently installed an external SSD connected via the port of Thunderbold to run my system (iMac 21 "mid-2011, OS X 10.11.4) via the cloned disk. Now, I want to save my data on this disk via timemachine. However, I can only address the disk drive HARD internal as target to be saved on timemachine. Also in the Options menu of timemachine external SDD drive does not appear. What can I do to change the HARD drive inside the external SDS to be saved in a systematic way to another drive to external hard drive connected via a network cable? Thanks a lot for any ideas you may have!
Best regards
Klaus
If I understand correctly what you did, the external SSD is the drive that you start the computer with. As such it cannot be too much to your Time Machine drive. Since the internal hard drive is not the boot drive, it is the logical location for backups Time Machine, which is what Time Machine. Time Machine is not 'see' the SSD external because it is the boot drive.

changing disk ex hard time machine with time capsule
Hello
I apologize for a such a basic question, but I would just check.
Ive recently bought a Capsule 3 TB to replace external HARD drive that I used for Time Machine on my rmbp.
What is the process of "disengage" the existing Time Machine drive?
I am not embarrassed to transfer my old back ups to my new time capsule, unless it is a good idea, but I would like to be able to access it on the existing drive should I need to.
I mean do 1). I turn off time machine under preferences, (2). Remove the disc previous time machine, then editing (3) Time Capsule or I missed something?
I can't find much information about it
Thank you!
When you install the new TC for TM a dialog box will appear asking if you want to use the old and the new objectives. Just say no, and the old target is not used then deleted the plist.
It is very difficult and often fruitless old copy backup TM for the TC, so I think your plan is the right one... Start a new backup on the TC.
We recommend you make by ethernet because this backup TM base is essential to recovery then. Wireless is slow and much less reliable.
The older TM backups are always accessible by clicking on the TM icon in the dock, then select
Browse other discs of TM.

Greetings - my Time Machine backup from a computer, I sold will not let me access it. The State that I am not allowed. Hello? I am. Unlocked position of stalemate in the information window. Someone help? Thank you.
-
I'm sure that there is no way to do it, but I really want to tell TM to start to throw the old backups to a certain level of ability. Say that when reached 3 TB backup, empty the oldest to make room for a new back-up.
As it is now, this depends on the size of the volume and depends on the size of the volume on hardware. And material in the case of a Drobo is not a fixed target - the call of the use of this thing is that you can add a disc at any time, or share a big drive for a small capacity. But it seems that I must find a giant empty place to put my backup file so I can trash the small volume and make more great news - and give them everything. I can't understand this cleary - I'm not a nuclear engineering-, but it seems it would be an easy thing to add to the TM preferences: "remove older backups in the file size reached BLANK."
Sorry if this sounds naïve - I was up late.
No.... for better or worse Time Machine trades lack of possibilities of configuration for simplicity. He wants that the volume of backup everything himself and will eventually occupy all, after which it will start deleting older backups when it needs the space. I don't know any settings or "hacks" to accomplish what you are looking for, nor recommend it if I did. Apple may make changes to TM it any time they want. Any non-compliant change would probably break, potentially leaving you with no backup.
If you think that it would be useful, you might suggest that you describe Apple to be considered as a future enhancement. You'd have to convince them that its benefits would exceed the extra complexity, minor as is. Apple has certainly been devotes much more attention in the Almighty cloud at the expense (to me) of external storage and multiple volume support, so I think that any suggestion will probably be met with indifference. Don't let me dissuade you of if; It's a very good idea.

Using Time Machine with connection once a week
I would like to connect an external drive once a week, have Time Machine make an incremental backup and store the drive off-site. Would this work?
This will work... assuming that you perform a full backup of the Mac on the first pass, but you must be prepared for backups take significantly longer than normal because Time Machine will have to catch up on the value of one week of changes to your Mac whenever it backs up "gradually."

Remote Access Time capsule with windows 10 pc
I have my time Capsule connected to the router of the provider internet I easily access from inside my home network and with a Mac, I'm not able to access remotely with my Windows 10 PC and my iPad Time Capsule (I only am not able to Set up hold File Manager app). My internet provider to put in place a connection port on the router and I tried several TCP 20/21/80/8080/548 ports without success.
Any suggestion wich port to set?
Thank you
Aldo
You will need a computer that uses AFP (Apple Filing Protocol) to access from a remote location Time Capsule. Windows 10 does not have this feature, so you will not be able to use the time Capsule to access from a remote location using a PC.
Although it is not officially supported by Apple, you can usually access the time from an iPad Capsule using the navigation application. The navigation instructions are there, and they do not work for me when I try this:

Time Machine - an exclusion different backup for the backup drives different time machine
I hope someone can help me.
For these past years, I used 2 Time Machine backups to keep all safe. I have 1 backup x who lives at home and is 3 times the size of my disk. I also have a second drive of laptop that I travel with, which is partitioned to give a little time machine backup, more than 1.5 TB of "overflow storage (for movies, video files, etc).
Recently however, I realized that my "storage of listening" actually contains a large amount of data I wouldn't lose (especially the photos of my children because they were born), so now I want to save this drive as well.
If my ideal situation is to have a huge drive I leave at home. This contains backups of the computer AND 'excess of storage' backup. It's pretty simple to implement.
But can someone tell me if my trip backup, will try also to the other partition of the backup drive? And if so, is there anyway to give different time machine backups different exclusions.
Hope that makes sense and hope that someone can help me.
Thank you
JohnYou will need to manually change the exclusions when you going on a trip. There isn't a way to change automatically.
