How can I copy files from Time Machine without going through Time Machine

I had to do a clean OS X El Capitan on my iMac install because something prevented it from closing properly. I now El Capitan without any of my old files and applications.

I want to copy my Time Machine backup, but the record has been marked by a red dot. I can't transfer manually. I don't want to go through a Time Machine, because the last time I did it, it just restore the old configuration that basically had the problem that stopped my computer of closing.

How can I manually copy the files?

Do not restore complete.

You can 'enter Time Machine"to select files and folders to restore.

Alternately, when restoring from Time Machine backup, customize the restoration as follows: under Select the information to transfer, select only your previous user account. Do not select 'Applications', 'Computer and Network Settings' or "Other files and folders". Deselect these choices. Potentially corrupt applications, lists of properties and changes in the operating system will be migrated and will be any problem that may have been caused by them.

  • How can I copy files from project Waveburner to another internal drive?

    How can I copy files from project Waveburner to another internal drive without losing the connection to the files audio orig.?

    Thank you for your time,

    Since no one answered my call, I sat and researched and studied WaveBurner behavior and I can myself answer my question and solve. Since there were a lot of people asking similar questions on WaveBurner files I will post what I learned.

    Whenever you drop your audio files in the list window to make your WaveBurner CD copy not copy your audio files, but relies on the original audio file, where they are located. So whenever you move the files orig. and you open WaveBurner, it can't find those and displays an error window to suggest it will search for the missing file or if you know where he is now lets you find manually. WaveBurner usually place the .wb3 project file that contains everything including your home folder.

    For this reason, I reserve now an audio file WaveBurner also folder in my home folder. In order to save themselves from WaveBurner cannot find the audio file, all audio files that I do, I put in my folder of audio files WaveBurner first, then copy them in WaveBurner from there.

    When I need to use a bigger hard drive I copy .wb3-WaveBurner projects based, but also my

    Sound folder WaveBurner for the home folder on the new hard drive.

    WaveBurner is now all audio files without problem.

    I hope that this will be a unique problem to someone else. Happy WaveBurning.

  • How can I transfer files from my old pc sony Vista for my laptop new HP 17-j003

    How can I transfer files from my old sony pc running vista for my laptop new HP 17-j003 Windows 8

    Welcome to the HP, Roodie forum.

    There is an easy way to do it using Microsoft Windows Easy Transfer :

    Transfer files and settings from another PC

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    If you do not want to transfer files using the easy transfer method, you can manually make the copy.

    1. You can connect the systems on the same network,
    2. Define the folders that contain your data transfer to 'Share' on the network
    3. Map the drive on your new Vista computer system network
    4. Copy the data you want to transfer

    On the Vista Machine:

    • Open a Windows Explorer window,
    • Right click on the folder that contains the data you want to 'share' (transfer)
    • Click Properties > share > share and follow the instructions to allow the folder to be shared on the network

    On the Machine Windows 8:

    • Windows key (opens the start screen) > anywhere type 'computer' >
    • Click on "computer" to open the "Computer" File Explorer window >
    • Click map network drive and follow the instructions to map the drive

    Don't forget: If your account name is different on the Vista computer, you will need to click on "Sign in using different credentials" and then enter the name of the account on the Vista computer AND the password for this account.

    You can do this with the upper or lower level folders folder level - as long as the folder is shared, you should have general access to the data it contains.

    There are cases where you will not end up being "owner" of the data transferred - you will have to perhaps enter and adjust the property for files / folders after they are copied to the computer of Windows 8.

  • How can I download files from HUS and VIP for my Bernina Version 6 software?

    Original title: download embroidery files

    How can I download files from HUS and VIP for my Bernina Version 6 software? Currently, I'm only able to download ART and PES files.

    joydesigns.org (a HUS file extensions) and comcast.net (a VIP file extensions). I get a message that says "windows cannot open this file, use the web or select the program from a list". I downloaded supposed solutions to problems of conversion and lived to regret it. So, I don't know what I can do to download these special files.

    In your original post, you said you wanted to download files to use with your software Bernina HUS and VIP.

    HUS files are Husqvarna Viking embroidery files.   VIP files also are Husqvarna; Here is the Viking/Pfaff home embroidery Format.

    You have reason to believe that your Bernina embroidery software should be able to use the Husqvarna Viking files?

    On the site joydesigns.org, the design of the Dove who has the instructions "Click on the dove to go to the download page for design in .hus format" actually will download a zip compressed file if you click the icon ("FlyingDoleB.zip").  When you click on an image to download the file, you must select the option to save these files in a location that you will remember and then right click and select "extract" all to join the HUS of the file (not all downloads from this Web site are HUS).

    Once you have the file HUS, you right-click, select open with > choose program, then select your Bernina software in the list (or browse to its location in C:\Program Files).  If you check the box "Always use the selected program to open this type of file" you can double-click on these files in the future.  Of course, it depends on software Bernina being able to recognize the files of HUS.

    VIP files on some comcast getaway site should be handled in the same way.
