Access to TM backup files

I have a problem (of my own making) with my TC and TM.

Following a travel and home renovation work (over a year) I plugged my TC back in and, unfortunately, I changed the name of it (I had read somewhere that my new OS (Yosemite) did not have certain characters in the name).

Unfortunately, now my TM does not recognize backups. Change the name of return did not help

I see a picture of my old backup sparsebundle in Finder, but how do I access files on it if TM do not see?

Just to be clear, I continued to use my mac in the meantime so I don't want to restore a full backup - but there are some audio files that I would like to restore.

Thanks in advance

Bob

Hold down the option key on your Mac while you click on the "clock" icon Time machine at the top of the screen.

Click Browse other Time Machine disks

Select the hard disk... called 'Data', unless you have changed the name of the player

Click on the selected drive to use... or... you can hear using this drive

See if your old backups are there

  • BlackBerry Smartphones how access information backup file

    Hello

    I installed the software to version 4.5 and therefore lost all of my pictures and addresses.  I see that a backup file was created (named LoaderBackup-(2010-08-08) .ipd) which is now on my computer.  Is it possible for me to access this file to restore photos and addresses, etc.?  I'm ready to go back to the previous version of the software for it.

    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

  • "Failed to process the backup file" - bookmarks JSON file

    I deleted my appdata files without thinking and then allowed my trash. When I opened firefox again all my favorites have disappeared. I used piriform recuva to find my deleted files and recover the backup JSON files 10 bookmark. When I try to restore my bookmarks, I get the message "failed to process the backup file". "Files are 95 KB in size, but when I open them with Notepad that they are empty, however, when you use the Restore tool, it is said ' elements of 480", which I assume is the amount of bookmarks, I had, which means that firefox can see data. The same happens for all ten backups that I recovered.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    What is the name of this file?

    Firefox can only look at the file name for the number of items.

    • < number > _ < hash > .json bookmark-YYYY-MM-JJ_

    The files in the bookmarkbackups folder are currently in compressed format .jsonlz4 (i.e., they show data binary like a ZIP compressed archive) and cannot be easily unzipped for access the JSON text format.
    The files are compressed means that a single error in the file will make it impossible to unpack the file.

    Have you checked all the available JSON backup to see if everything works?

    A backup created manually JSON is always not compressed, so can be easily inspected or opened in a text editor (Notepad > "Pretty Print"), but with a compressed file, it is much more difficult.

    Recovery of a file via an undelete utility is no guarantee that the space occupied by the file has not been used by another file, and so is corrupt.

    One possible cause is a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.

  • Restore the backup files. Windows Vista Expert needed!

    Help!  Recently, a virus wiped out my operating system (Windows Vista).  C drive my PC had literally nothing about it.  Then I got a new VISTA OS installed by a repair shop.  I tried to restore my previous configuration from the backup I had on an external drive, using the Vista Backup & Restore utility.  This "worked" except that he restored the backup files in a separate location on the C drive.  Using the windows Explorer I see all those files that have been restored in a folder named "Thom".

    However the new Vista installation has the user name "Thomas" where a configuration complete, (Documents, Favorites, desktop, etc.), was created.  When I connect, it's the config I see (new office, new files and folders for this new user, 'Thomas'.  I want to use the configuration, (files, folders, office computer), under the former name "Thom", not this new one, "Thomas."

    I'm afraid to just delete the files under Thomas I'm afraid I'm going to destroy my access to Windows in general.  Currently, I show only a user account in the control panel.  I don't have the 'Thom' user in the folder of the user within the new configuration.  How to delete files and folders under Thomas and use files and folders in the folder named Thom that is located on drive C?

    All restoring the backup files are there, they show just a folder on drive C, titled "Thom".  When I connect to my pc it takes me to your desktop created by the new facility.  I need ALL the files in the backup (office, e-mail, files & folders), not the Setup program created by the installation of the new Vista.  I want to be able to connect to windows and have it use the backup files, which are located in this folder named "Thom" which show on the C drive.

    Can I simply combine or merge or copy the files in the folder 'Thom', I want to use in the files of the same name, (contacts, documents, Favorites, desktop), which are under the name of "Thomas"?  Can I remove folders under the user 'Thomas' and all it's files and records and hope that windows then takes me in the files that I want to use?

    I use my laptop, (HP Pavilion, 64-bit), for business and I'm dead in the water until I can access my old configuration.  I am on day 5 of this disaster and I am desperate, please help!

    Hello Reggie999,

    Thanks for the return of the response.  You can move the files/folders in the 'Thom' folder in your new user account 'Thomas '.   Or another option would be to create a new user account and call it what you want, then move the folder in this user account.

    If you create a new user account and move your files/folders to this account, it would be nice to delete the user account 'Thomas '.  Just make sure that you have all of the files in the profile that you have recently created/added.

  • Quicken 2008 backup file does not open

    I am trying to open a Quicken 2008 backup file to restore my date of Quicken. When I go to open the file the error is
    can not open the file, the QDF file is from a later version of Quicken. This is not a later version. I saved the file in Quicken of Quicken 2008 using Windows XP.

    If you right-click on the file and select Properties, in the general tab is there any mention of "Unlock" down at the bottom, or in the Security tab are the correct access permissions for your user access to the file?

  • In Windows 7, signed as an administrator but get access denied to certain files and folders

    I just started my new computer, set up my user profile and installed Quicken. He would not open the Ouicken backup file I had brought my old computer so I started looking for a solution and found that a number of files and folders have been marked read-only. Then, I started to change the file attributes to allow free access everywhere where I found them marked read-only. In some cases, there was an error message saying that the file could not be changed, so I ignored these files. In fact, my question is, why am I like the only user of this computer, being denied access to any file or folder? I gave myself (duh) administrator-level privileges, but Windows 7 does not recognize me as an administrator. Is there something that I missed when you set up Windows for the first time? Just a mess by changing the file attributes? Thank you.

    In fact, my question is, why am I like the only user of this computer, being denied access to any file or folder? attributes? Thank you.

    There are at least two issues here. First, Windows 7 uses a structure of different folders for pre-Vista versions and while there are files and folders whose names are the same as those used in XP, they are NOT records in the true sense of the word - they are JUNCTION points to which any user has not access - there is no point. Documents and Settings is one of these junction points - this is to allow existing applications that use the old pre to win 7 folder structure to run in Windows 7. See here for more information about junction points:

    http://www.Svrops.com/Svrops/articles/jpoints.htm

    Secondly, I think you will see that the records that you have thought we have read-are not only in fact. A folder with the read-only BLUE box is NOT dead, and it's the standard attribute for folders in Windows 7. A read-only file or folder has a CHECKMARK in the read-only box, not a blued outlet box.

  • MY LAPTOP CRASHED AND I HAD COMPUTER FIXED AND HE MADE A BACKUP FILE OF ALL THE PHOTOS, ETC.

    HOW CAN I REINSTALL WINDOWS 7 WITHOUT DELETE OR HURT THE BACKUP FILE?

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.
