• Time machine backup missing messages?

  I recently did a clean install on my MacBook Pro. I don't want my my time Machine user account migrate upward, but I would like to transfer my text messages. I know that messages are located in the user/library/messages/archive folder that I can find on my Mac, but there is no such folder on the Time Machine backup?

  What Miss me?

  Hello

  I would be accessing ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.iChat/Data/Library/Messages/Archive on my computer because that's where my Archive is.

  

  See the path bar across the bottom.

  I know some posters have said there is here an Alias that is connected to ~Library/Messages/Archive as you describe.

  If you have two different locations through the current startup and time Machine, you might need to manually open the backup file and then drag the content to where you want to or need them to be.

• How to recover the Time Machine keychain

  I had all sorts of problems with OS 10.11. So I deleted and reinstalled a 'clean' version I was able to retrieve several files of my time machine, but can't seem to get something on the old Keychain data, in particular, the passwords of a previous backup time Machine. In addition, I think that Apple has hidden the user/library, so I can't find it on Time Machine.  I had seen other assignments with regard to this topic, but I think that the most recent is 2013/14.

  Maybe I misunderstood what Time Machine is supposed to do?

  If I have to, I wouldn't mind duty copy every password and paste in websites I need to access.

  Is this even possible or do I have to go to each site and request a new password?

  Thank you

The second keychains folder is located in the folder /Library/ to the root of your hard drive. Both should be in your Time Machine backup, if you did a full backup of the system. To help you recover these please see FAQ Time Machine of Pondini for help with Time Machine. It is a vast site with almost everything that you need for using Time Machine. You will not find a better resource for Time Machine in one place. Due to the disappearance of James Pondini is the site is no longer updated. Therefore, some information may be somewhat outdated.

• How to restore mail using Time Machine data

  Sunday my iMac that runs 10.8.5, had problems with Apple Mail. Email correctly loaded at 7:30 and was fine, but at 6:30 I opened the program to retrieve e-mail. The program crashed. I restarted the program and it quickly crashed again. After a 3rd reboot it crashed again. I restarted the iMac and when I tried to start the Mail, he acted as I've been setting up Apple Mail for the first time, wanting my e-mail address and password.

  I thought there is a data file that creates that so corrupted Mail, you can go back in time Machine and restore it. OSX does not allow me to change the Mail or restore from Time Machine, it gives me an error message that Mail is part of the OSX system and cannot be changed.  I have 5 email accounts that keeps track of the mail and so far it has only one account setup. I would like to restore all the email accounts to backup Saturday night before all this started.

  Is there a way to do this? Any thoughts on this is appreciated.

  Make a backup, preferably 2 backups on 2 separate drives.

  Quit the application.

  In Finder and hold the option/alt key while clicking on the menu item Go. Select the library. Then go to the Mail folder. Enter Time Machine and restore this file.

  If this does not work, there are additional e-mail folders in Library/Application Support, covers and containers.

• Time Machine backup not my home library folder

  After having updated my system to El Capitan in Sierra, I decided to clean my external drive for Time Machine in order to launch a new series of backups TM Sierra.

  The problem is that Time Machine now stops back up when it arrives in the library folder in my home folder.

  He used to work flawlessly when I ran El Capitan.

  I then cancel the backup process which stopped at about half of employment (360 GB 201,85 Gb).

  If I dig in the time Machine ""current " file in the folder Backups.backupdb, I find my record library home tagged a red button with a sign less in its lower right corner."

  It seems to be a weird permissions issue here.

  No explanation of what's going on here? Any solution?

  I would like to launch utility disk-> first aid on the disk and partition just to be sure, it is not a file system inconsistency.

  If that doesn't fix it, I would check then the console logs (applications > utilities > console.app) to see if it is reporting the issue during the backup.

  If you still have no joy, I'd start to screw up files from your library folder (do not empty the trash so you can put back them) until I found what was causing the problem. Use menu bar to access the library in the Finder, and type in the library.

• I would like to add a folder of photos on a USB key for time machine backups

  I have a new time capsule, and I am attaching a USB hard drive that previously held some my time machine backups and all my photos. I would now add the photo of backups auto time folder machine on the time capsule. But in time machine preferences I don't see the folder or the USB key. Although I can see the USB in the finder as well as the time capsule window. I can copy and paste the photo time capsule file it's just I wanted to time machine for backup for me. Any help much appreciated.

  The time Capsule is what we call a 'network' of the road, so when the USB is connected to the time Capsule, which would make it a "network" drive as well.

  Unfortunately, Time Machine is unable to back up a 'network' of the time Capsule drive.

  If you want to save the data or the USB disk using Time Machine drive, you will need to connect the drive directly to your Mac and then it will be saved with your Mac... assuming that the drive has been formatted for Mac to Mac OS extended (journaled) format. Then, the player will become a "local" drive

  If you need to keep the USB connected to the time Capsule, the only way to back up data automatically on a schedule would be to use a commercial program like Carbon Copy Cloner or ChronoSync.

• Time Machine "an error occurred during the creation of the backup folder"

  Hi all

  In September 2015, I bought a 6 TB WD MyBook to use with Time Machine. Initially, I have me back an Early 2011 MacBook Pro 13 "and now it's an iMac late 2015 5 K. On both machines, the drive is connected directly to the USB port (without hubs was between the disc and the Mac). After about a week or two, I received a message "unable to full backup. An error occurred while creating the backup folder".» I clicked on OK, rebooted the MacBook and she continued to save. This message pops up every week or two weeks, and I ignored him. When I got to the iMac, the message still popped up after a few weeks, and he even got to the point where it would show every day when I woke up to the iMac to sleep after a day at the College. Several clears and even erase the disc course made no difference. I made contact with WD and they sent me a new drive (a 8TB vs the original 6 to). Now, the message popped up again today.

  When I was home from Uni, I was support my MacBook Pro 2015 retina on a FireWire drive, which I had used before purchasing the WD 6 to, using Apple's FireWire adapter Thunderbolt. It worked without any problem. In addition, back up my MacBook Pro via FireWire 2011 worked well for 4 years. Given that the MacBook Pro saved without fault when the drive is connected via FireWire, and problems have emerged only when I started to use a USB drive, I start to think that it is a problem of USB. I turned it off put hard drives to sleep when possibleand have active Power Nap and still get the error.

  Anyone else see this issue?

  Thank you very much in advance!

• How to restore a folder and subfolders using Time Machine (TM)?

  I need to restore a folder and all its files and subfolders, with the latest at a specific date.

  I'm running Yosemite (10.10.5) and plan to upgrade to El Capitan, shortly.

  To the restored file, includes everything I have he would have seen that day.  Some folders/subfolders may not have changed for a long time (years).  Others may have changed recently.

  An example of this is the Evernote database folder.  In order to recover some of the notes that have been deleted or modified, I need to restore my folder of Evernote completely because it was on a certain date.  It must include all files/folders that I've had to this date.

  How can I do this?

  I did a lot of research, a lot of research, read many documents (including Apple) on the use of TM, and I can't find any information that explains how to do this.

  If TM can do, there's another backup system which can, would you recommend for this?

  Thanks for your help.

  I suggest that visit you Time Machine FAQ of Pondini helps with Time Machine. See in particular http://pondini.org/TM/15.html and http://pondini.org/TM/16.html .

• I moved a folder of bookmarks in Safari on my desk to alphabetize it but could not move again. Now, Time Machine restores not Safari where I started. Restoration is grayed out and the office keeps - not editor of bookmarks. TM works well.

  I tried to move a subfolder of my bookmarks folder to alphabetize it moving it on my desk. It worked, but I couldn't get back in Safari. So I tried to restore the Time Machine Safari but it brought back my desktop and the button restore is gray. I am running Yosemite on one end of 2013 27-inch Mac. Time machine seems to work ok on other issues.

  You can only restore the entire file of bookmarks to a previous state. It is not possible to restore the individual bookmarks.

  If you don't have such a backup, but the Favorites are still present on an iOS (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) device that synchronizes with iCloud, then see below.

• Strange/false Machine, Time Capsule, icons in the applications folder on the time

  Hello

  A few days ago I discovered, that the application on my time Machine icons - backup are false. (iMac 27;) OS X 10.11.2; Time Capsule 3TO via WiFi).  If I open the backups.backupdb file on my Machine of time with the finder, the initial backup of my iMac shows these icons as seen in my screenshot. 'Restore' Time machine panel shows the same icons, too.

  All other files are ok.

  First I thought it's because my WiFi network is slow, so I plugged my Time Capsule via the LAN. Same result as above, wrong icons.

  Management of time Machine on a USB HD normal all right...

  I ' v reinstalled Mac OS, created a new Sparsebundle file via Airport utility. Without success, the problem persists.

  However, I am able to restore apps, but it's annoying...

  Anyone know it what is wrong?

  Thank you
