Can I restore system 10.6.8 OS with time machine?

Try to install El Capitan on a six year iMac, which ran 10.6.8 resulted in the machine to be locked in a loop in the installer. I was not able to get the machine to reboot normally. I read that I can reinstall the system from Time Machine in El Capitan. I can do it in 10.6.8?

I don't think that Time Machine of any version will reinstall a system.  This Lion and systems to do is to install a boot partition of emergency which replaces the old optical drive boot and allows you to install a system on the main partition (download files from the Internet) and then use Time Machine to reinstall files independent user of the system.

    1 n ° put them on a regular external drive and the value of Time Machine to back up as well; the files you want to keep should be at least two disks in case one of them goes down.

    2. they will not be usable until the restoration.

  • E-mail restoration with time machine

    Goodday!

    I have a problem with the email backups in Time Machine. Maybe someone can help me?

    Using iMac 21.5 OS X El Capitan 10.11.3.

    For more than a year I do (automatic) backups with Time Machine on an external drive. Works perfectly, the time that I needed.

    I now wanted to look for an older email. Open the Machine from the time to Mail in my Inbox, but all the backups that I can scroll to have an empty Inbox...!

    Only the last screen shows my present e-mails in the Inbox, but all other screens even since the last backup, see the empty Inbox.

    Read on the internet that more people suffer from the same problem.

    Someone has any idea how to solve this problem?

    Thank you!

    Eric

    All mailboxes are empty in the snapshots, or just this one?

  • I can't get my new WD external hard drive to work with Time Machine.

    My Seagate 1 TB external hard drive, connected to my Airport Extreme, use the USB port, was completed (it stores up to 3 1 iMac and MBP), so I bought a Western Digital 2 TB hard drive to replace it. I formatted correctly, connected to my MBP, then connected to the Airport Extreme. When I opened the time Machine, it didn't appear. By selecting "Set up the new TimeCapsule" open Airport utility. By clicking on the router button gave me change. By clicking on the "Record" button showed my new hard drive. The "setup" button is grayed out, unless I unchecked and double-checked all of the options. He warned me that I would be offline for a while, but it did nothing; My wife MBP and MBP my son not a never lose their connection to the internet, and I lose mine, either.

    My Mac guy, who never met a problem he couldn't fix it, is puzzled. So I am. We tried all the usual ideas, restart my MBP, restart the Airport Extreme, reformat the external hard drive, with different numbers of partitions (and Yes, I chose the GUID), but we can not simply Time Machine to connect with the hard drive. It is a Western Digital My Passport Ultra. This external hard drive is not compatible with Time Machine?

    What version is your AE? Backup is supported only on the sector of Tower model.

    You are self feeding Ultra Passport? It really must be external powered... or plugged into a powered hub.

    My passport readers have been consistent in the past... but sometimes strange things... That is, they can change the USB chip without warning, resulting in questions. The USB hub can help.

    There is also something... Plug the USB key into one of your computers and start backup TM on this... proceed very long... but we need to start... Cancel backup... and then plug it into AE and see what happens.

    I have an IMac with time machine and time capsule. If I buy a large external hard drive can back up all my Lightroom Info but also everything else to go to time machine, & that it saves on hard drive new, after he made a backup to time capsule?  This way, I would have two backups.

    Hi marinersr,

    I'm not sure the backup machine capsule/time, but according to me, that it backs up all data on your hard drive.

    Yes, you can back up the Lightroom catalog on the hard disk external.

    You can set the time of the backup under the catalog settings > backup > he would invite to the backup, when you exit Lightroom > click on select next to the location and specify the location as your new hard drive.

    If you want images of both original backup, you can configure to create a second copy of the images on your external drive during import.

  • How can I restore my computer to factory settings with using the computers original disc?

    Original title: ' ideas: insert an error code or give a brief description of what you're trying to accomplish or difficulty. " __ »

    I want to know how I can restore my computer settings to factory with using the original disk of computers or to create a recovery disk

    Here you are options to reinstall Vista:

    Vista Media recovery obtaining and/or using the Vista recovery on your computer Partition to factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • Restoring my data to a new SSD with Time Machine

    I'm going to buy a new SSD hard drive, and I backed up all my data in Time Machine on an external hard drive. Is it possible to restore all my data only through Time Machine? I have a bootable USB key with El Capitan on that, I'm not worried about the operating system. Wouldn't time machine recognize my computer as a completely different machine? This treatment?

    If it is possible how I would go about it?

    Your new SSD must be in the format GUID extended journeled using disk utility. Boot into Recovery (R command).

    Install OS X and use the Time machine to restore all your data.

  • Can I back up files with time machine iCloud. Seems not so, are there alternatives?

    I want files on mac, in the clouds and on local separate media seems quite difficult to achieve for a sensible backup plan.

    I looked for solutions and there are various tips on if time machine backup of documents Mobile ~/Library but I can access in time machine.

    Presumably, someone has solved this problem - hopes!

    If you have active disk iCloud it written copies of the files in the cloud on your local disk, these in turn are backed up by Time Machine, you don't need to do anything else to make it work.

    If you need to access your documents using Time Machine backup do you via the Finder > iCloud drive and not in the hidden mobile documents folder.

  • How can I restore system from a disk?

    My computer is having problems.  With absolutely nothing open to the commissioning, my CPU usage is between 80 and 100%.  I tried a system restore, but restoring earlier was only 12 hours earlier and the problem has persisted for nearly a week.

    I can not get my PC working properly and I would try to restore from my recovery disc.  (If this does not require a complete restoration in terms of personal loss files/info/etc.  (- PC is of ' 08, and that's when the recovery disks have been created) is it possible to do it, or do I have to turn my PC on, say Best Buy and have someone to look?

    Do not use a DEPARTMENT store.

    If necessary, bring it to a local and trusted computer repair shop.

    For any informstion on how to use your recovery disk, contavt from your computer manufacturer.

    This isn't their recovery process, Microsoft.

    You would normally start from the 1st disc and follow the instructions:

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • How can I save a USB on my time capsule with time machine?

    Hello

    I just bought an external USB flash/thumb drive, believing I could extend the memory of my currently complete macbook (OS X 10.7.5), while maintaining an up-to-date backup of everything on my Time Capsule. (I was planning on dumping my pictures/videos on the new USB and free up space on my macbook).

    I already formatted the flash drive USB is now 'Mac OS external (journaled). I then tried to remove the exclusion of preferences list flash drive Time Machine (by selecting 'options' and then selecting the '-' button to remove the disc highlighted). He appears to remove the USB key at this point and allows me to save and close the options box, however it is always not backup external USB drive on a Time Capsule format.

    Subsequently, on rechecking the box Option Time Machine preferences, the disc that I just removed from the exclusion list, is back on the list!

    The impression that I'm going in circles... Is there something that I am missing, or another way to automatically back up this drive?

    Thank you very much.

    First of all, unless you intend to keep the reader flash connected all the time, is really no interest in what you want to do. Simply copy the data from a backup other than the Time Machine backup disk drive.

  • Can I transfer files recorded to Macbook Pro in time machine?

    Hi all

    Memory ability in MacBook Pro arrives at his ability and the machine seems to get slower.

    I need to transfer a large number of files Image of MacBook and on time Machine. Some time ago I was informed by the Apple support, that it is operating is available, but I don't really know where to start.

    Could someone help with this or perhaps direct me towards a step by step procedure?

    Thank you

    Brian

    If the time Capsule currently is the repository for your Time Machine backup it is strongly recommended that your data not be not stored here also. If you store your data on the Time Capsule that will make it difficult, if not impossible for Time Machine clear disk space when he needs to do when space is low. In addition to your data bank on the same disk as the backup cannot be saved.
