Backup Restore Time Machine after 10.11.3 downgrade to 10.10.5?

I am installing a purchased copy of Capture NX2 photo of Nikon editing software on my MacBook Pro retina 2015.

I learned that I can only install this software on a machine running upward for OS X 10.10.5 (Yosemite) and that after an upgrade to El Capitan software will still work.  (The software cannot be installed under El Capitan, confirmed by Nikon)

I had a Time Machine backup of my 10.11.3 system, lowered to Yosemite with a new installation of a boot USB disk, installed the Capture NX2 without difficulty. Works very well.

Now, I would like to restore from backup Time Machine El Capitan, but maintain the installation of the software (i.e. I don't want to replace all of the disk). Yosemite will not let me restore from backup Time Machine of El Capitan (see the files, but will not allow app or restorations of the photo library)

Is it still possible?  What I need to solve this problem by having an El Capitan and Yosemite a partition on my hard drive?

Thanks in advance!

It seems that the plan was to go down, install the software, then upgrade.

Have you tried to upgrade, and then use the Migration Wizard to migrate the data from the backup?

  • Backup Restore Time Machine does not see RAID external drive

    Hi all

    I have a problem with my iMac restore from a Time Machine backup, and I was wondering if anyone else had the same problem already.

    I had to reinstall OS X El Capitan from scratch, based on education, I received Support from Apple. That worked without problems and my iMac works fine. However, I wanted to restore it to how it was before, using Time Machine. I keep my backups on a LaCie 5big Thunderbolt 2 and never had any problems with it.

    To restore the system, I followed the instructions on the Support page. I restarted my system in recovery mode and selected the "restore from Time Machine backup". Unfortunately the LaCie 5big does not appear on the list of drives, so I'm stuck... When you use the system in normal mode, the external RAID is visible and Time Machine stores backups on it without any problem.

    Any of you are familiar with this problem? I would be very grateful if you could help me with this problem!

    Kind regards

    Valerio

    Hello

    -While the system is booted in recovery mode, confirm that the Lacie 5big network is visible in disk utility.   You will need to disconnect / reconnect the Thunderbolt cable to the Lacie 5big be detected.

    -Once seen, a new attempt to restore from Time Machine backup.

  • Backup Restore Time Machine: not enough space

    Hi all, I am a neophyte tech so forgive me if I'm not clear. I will try to explain the problem as best I can:

    I have an old MacBook 2009 running Mountain Lion. A few months ago, my brother gave me his old Pro and so my MacBook 2009 fell by the wayside. I used an external hard drive with that old computer as my backup time machine, but as I tried to transfer a lot of documents and photos and update of dropbox and download photos of google and to understand each of these things as I went along, I totally messed up the MacBook. Just... things are weird... nothing was, where it used to be and my photos were gone and Yes, much of this is probably down to me trying to understand a bunch of new programs at once, BUT what I want to do is to restore it to the way it was using a time machine backup.

    So, I googled around and I know when I start it up until I'm supposed to press Ctrl + R and choose the backup that I want, but when it gets to the part where I select a destination and click the only option (the Mac HD), an error message appears with a yellow flag saying "this disc is not enough space to restore your system.

    Now, I don't really know what that means, but what I want to do is to get rid of the current way, this computer is completely and attach it to the way it was when I did the last Time Machine backup.

    Someone help me please... this stuff is so frustrating when I can't figure it out for me and I am sure that there is an easy solution. I read a lot about partitions etc. but I don't know what all of this means that even.

    Thank you in advance!

    Boot into Recovery now command + R to start. Choose disk utility and erase the boot volume, it should be named Macintosh HD, unless you renamed it. When the erase is quit disk utility and choose to restore from your Time Machine backup. OS X: on OS X Recovery - Apple Support

  • Difference between Seagate Plus backup and Time Machine?

    Can anyone tell me what the diff between backup and Time machine?

    I'm afraid that if I select "Use as backup drive", I might regret it... then I would understand.

  • corrupted backup iPhone: you can restore old backup from Time Machine?

    Hello

    I recently had my iPhone 6 (last iOS 9.2) stolen and when I bought my new 6 iPhone updated to iOS 9.3.1 and it synchronized, he said that the March 21 backup was corrupt or incompatible.

    Leaving aside Why is it (except if in your knowledge, it has an effect), I was wondering is it possible to go into the Time Machine and find the last iPhone backup (hopefully not corrupt or incompatible) and then use it when you synchronize and put up my new phone?

    So in this case I would lose a week / a month value of the data over the year or so for my backup previously listed on my iTunes currently.

    More important still, I need to get my SMS and notes.

    For now, my contacts seem to have all come finer.

    A big thank you for any help you can provide.

    See you soon

    You should be able to do. Follow the instructions here to find and restore the backup on your hard drive.

  • Restore Time Machine wifi data in neutral

    Help! Today I return MacBook Air of my wife in an Apple Store. They fixed a software problem. Apple wiped the hard drive, but the Air has been saved our Time Machine network. Apple has installed the latest OS X, but not the data of my wife. This, I thought, would be easy and simple.

    The problem is with the restore / recover the process. The recovery process looks fine. I selected the data to be restored and the 40,000 more files seem to be download nominally and after about 20 minutes, he seemed to be almost done.

    However, the process is at a standstill, apparently at the end. On the page titled "Transfer of information", it says "one minute remaining to 17 MB/s". While the number of MB/s continues to fluctuate (10, 18, 15, etc.), this statement is still. (see image below) It has been like this for more than one 1 & 1/2 hours.

    I am following up the wifi connection and it is strong and fast.

    Should I click Cancel and see what happens? Suggestions

    It won't hurt to let you it run for a few hours.

    If it succeeds, then stop and restart the computer and the TC.

    Don't allow TM to do a new backup... it's essential... you must first pick up these files...

    No chance you can do a full restore to a new location. It's pretty simple to do... but the wizard configuration rather than migration.

  • Import mail backup from time machine

    Hello world

    Performed a 'clean' installation when replace my HD with a new SSD. Upgrade to El Capitan and all my apps are fees/updated downloads to date. I copied on my own top Documents folder manually.

    Any advice? All I want now is the TM saved email from the mail.

  • Restore Time Machine tips

    So, got a mac mini and 3 weeks ago started to have the full boot disk.  We continue deleting some files iTunes, photos, some of the videos, additional programs, but nothing seemed to have more than 2-3 GB gone - and then it would be up to 300 MB of space in one day (it doesn't seem to stick, even if we took off 20-25 GB of music, photos and videos. program).  Therefore abandon us this path and moving to an iMac with a much bigger disk (3 to vs 750 GB).

    Question I have is the best way to approach - as part of the attempt to find the space, we have removed some iTunes files and movies, I want to keep.  My thought was so start the new computer, and then on Wizard migration use to take a TM backup before we started to delete stuff, say 3-4 weeks ago and that restore.

    Curious if this makes sense and/or the traps on this.  Also, the other option, when first setting up I think is to do time Machine.  Are there specific advantages or disadvantages of one way or another do?  In theory, I could try just move the photos and videos in another drive to drive hard, but not sure I have everything on my second TM while backup it should have.

    Thoughts/advice?

  • 'No available backup disk', Time Machine is not more Time Capsule

    I have a time Capsule 2 TB and it has been used by Time Machine for many months.

    A few days ago the Capsule detached from his power and today is now connected to the new.

    Time Machine reports the error "backup disc not available."

    Time Capsule lights are green, AirPort Utility is showing this device being lit also.

    Time Machine knows how much space is available on this unit. However, it is not able to use this device to register older backups or to create a new.

    I don't see this device in the Finder, although I couldn't see him there when everything is working well.

    Airport utility indicates an IP address for this device and I can ping.

    What to do now? Isn't it at least possible to mount to access the files on it?

  • Backup a Time Machine backup?

    When troubleshooting a Mac in the past, I had the frightening experience of him erase my Time Machine backup.  Fortunately, I was able to restore the backup on the disk.

    Now I'm troubleshooting a Mac, I have my external drive Time Machine and a blank disk.

    For security reasons, before making troubleshooting more away from the Mac, I want to back up the Time Machine disk to the blank disc.

    Of course, I could just drag - copy the folder of documents from one disk to another, but it can cause all sorts of permissions problems. Would it not possible (or better) to use a backup like Carbon Copy Cloner for this application?

    Try using disk/restore to copy the backup to a new location. Please note that this will reformat the destination partition.

    You can then go to system PreferencesTime Machine and add the blank disc as a backup drive.

  • First external USB disk backup from Time Machine and Time Capsule

    I have a new USB drive from 4 TB to use for backups Time Machine plugged on my almost full Time Capsule.  The Capsule is connected to my network using Ethernet, so it can be used to back up my MacBook Pro and iMac (via ethernet) (wireless).

    I would like to initial backups by directly plugging the USB directly on my iMac and my MacBook Pro.  I currently have the USB plugged into the Capsule of time connected to the ethernet. The initial backup for my iMac took 2 hours to make the 35GBs of 1.6TBs to back up so far.  So potentially 2 + days of initial backup...?

    There must be a quicker way.

    Box: to recover from my iMac support precedent (after a crash), which stood on a 3 TB USB2 drive plugged to the Capsule, it was estimated to take 36 hours.  I fly over the drive and plugged into the USB port on my iMac and the recovery only took about 8-10 hours, so it does not work for recovery.

    I tried to make the backup of the iMac by plugging the USB drive of 4 TB directly on the iMac. I then moved the dUSB Time Capsule drive, but he seemed to start when plugged into the TimeCapsule. If possible, I must have done something wrong in the order.

    It is extremely difficult to backup directly to the USB port and then move it to the TC because TM backup differently at local and network drives.

    People have figured out ways around it... but you think that it cannot simply... After saving 1.6 TB of data.

    Here see Q18.

    The fact is... It is not a reliable method.

    It's a little slow... is the gigabit connection and the wireless is turned off?

    Your sidebar... is absolutely true... you can easily go elsewhere... because you can mount the sparsebundle to the computer.
