  Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

  Thank you for details on the issue.

  You can restore backed up files lost, damaged, or accidentally modified versions. You also to restore files individual, groups of files, or all files that you have saved.

  If you are restoring files from a backup that was made on another computer, the files are restored in a folder under the user name that was used to create the backup. If the user names are different, you must navigate to the folder where the files are restored.

• How can I recover iTunes library on an external hard drive

  Stupidly I deleted my iTunes library earlier today and fight to get it back. (All purchased songs always appear but all songs imported from CDs are gone). I deleted the library and then empty the trash. I have a update on my external hard drive last night so hope I can restore my library iTunes from my external hard drive, but can't get it. Have tried, as a result of aid, online articles, but I do not get any further...

  So far, I saved my iTunes backup folder on my desktop iMac. There was a suggestion to open iTunes, while holding down the SHIFT key (keyboard of Windows) and this should allow me to create a new library or open an existing one - none of these options appeared, my result was iTunes open normally and showing all my purchased songs. The other suggestion is to open iTunes - file - Library - Library to import the backup file, but also no results.

  It seems it should be easy but... not for me to do something. Can anyone offer advice that does not suggest that I have to re - import all the music?

  Thanks in advance

  The file that you must replace is located in the following location.

  / Users/USERNAME/music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music

  Just replace the one on your Mac with the library you want. Don't forget, it's only music, not any what other apps, videos etc., if you want to replace it, replace the entire iTunes Media.

• You can use migration assistant to transfer the time machine backup external hard drive?

  Hello. I just bought a new macbook pro with a 256 GB flash drive to replace my previous macbook pro that had a breakdown of all the systems. My problem is that I have a time machine backup that is greater than 256 GB (it's almost 450 GB) and I try to find out if I can use migration assistant to transfer all the content directly on an external hard drive, then move the content I want on my hard drive from the external hard drive? My goal is to let my music and photos on the external hard drive and for all port hardware I need for work.

  I don't have access to another mac with storage well enough that I have the old HD so could potentially be installed in an external enclosure and extracted files directly from there if it's easier.

  What I intend to do in the long term is to buy a big external hard drive network and put all my photos, music etc over there and use the laptop as expected - that is for files from day to day - then it will be just a short-term problem.

  Any advice would be really appreciated.

  Thank you

  Nick

  Migration Assistant is user to transfer data from one computer to the other.  If I read your post correctly, you want to copy your data from Time Machine on another HARD disk.  Thia may be useful:

  Pondini website covers virtually all aspects of Time Machine.

• How can I restore my time capsule documents folder?

  I use an iMac OS X El Capitan and support up to a Time Capsule airport running.

  One of our user accounts on the iMac ran into problems w access to the apple of the user ID (could not access iCloud preferences, etc.) before doing a clean reinstall of the OS X software, so I opted to try to remove the problematic user account (another account has no problems) and then configure a new user account. It seems (the jury is still pending on that) have toured and account is running normally.

  My question now is to restore a subset of the records of the time Machine to the specific user. Is it possible and if yes, can you give me instructions on how to do?

  Thanks in advance.

  Migration wizard does not have the granularity you need. It is simply not possible to choose more great lines.

  So, you'll need to do it via the standard recovery... method that looks like you have never used.

  This is the basic method of use Time Machine, you will need to learn how do.

  TM open via icon in the dock. If this isn't in the dock it from applications.

  All you have to do is open TM...

  Go to the date when the user has always existed.

  Now in the finder as the interface.

  Go to the user that you want to restore... I suggest that you actually just take the folder of any user.

  Sorry I can't take screenshots inside the TM... so if this is not clear look at a standard youtube video, of which there are hundreds.

  It's the old version... but it is clear and well spoken.

  https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=6bcf54aRBPk

  Restore now all the folder to somewhere else... maybe not even on your hard drive, but on a USB key or a convenient place.

  Once the entire restored user to a location, you can then choose say all the documents in the documents folder and copy it directly to the new user that you created, file documents... same thing for music, even for photos etc... the actual application should always be connected libraries... which will make you within itunes or photos, etc..

  Our great master guru on this stuff is Pondini, who died some time ago... and it is a few obsolete versions... but it is always interesting to read.

  About the use of configuration and migrate...

  http://pondini.org/TM/home.html

  The real using TM

  http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html

  The restoration is Q14-17 and fairly detailed.

  I made an example using method pondini... just iphoto, but gives a good idea how do...

  Cannot access old files on time capsule

  If you want to just retrieve the documents folder say... Then, you can use the same method... Simply select the entire folder.

  The permissions problems arise often... but once the files on your local disk, you can correct them.

• Time Machine backup external hard drives

  I've been using Time Machine to back up to an external hard drive.  External hard drive backups are visible in TimeMachine when the external hard drive is connected to the computer. How can I see the backups if the external drive is lost?

  External hard drive backup is buried in the backup.

  I strongly recommend using an alternative backup software like Carbon Copy Cloner. Allows you to separate the backups. Time Machine does not work.

• Time machine backup external hard drive

  Hi all

  I'm looking to move my iTunes library to a new drive external hard to free up space on my iMac storage internal 1 TB drive.

  My concern is the Machine of the time's up, is it possible that I can set it up so it will save the new external hard drive which will be my iTunes library folder?

  I am currently using Time Capsule with my iMac, but wonder if I can use it with the external hard drive.

  Any info or advice would be great.

  Thanks in advance

  Backups Time Machine is up as the startup disk (which is actually a volume and not a disc), it backs up external drives or other volumes on the internal drive.  If you want to save to an external drive to a Time Capsule and then use Finder to copy the files or search for third party software that automatically copies files.

• How can I unforget airport Time Capsule?

  I was in the Airport utility and 'forgotten' my Time Capsule airport.  The most convenient airport seems to work very well, but I can see it is no longer in the graphical presentation.  How can I fix so that I see once more the airport?

  Try a cycle of complete nutrition of the network as follows:

  Power off all devices... modem, routers, computers, iPhones, printers, etc. in the order you want

  Wait a minute

  Start the modem and let it run alone for a few minutes

  The device connected to the modem to start and keep running a minute

  Keep the commissioning of the devices at once a minute outside until the entire network is back

  Check if the airport appears now and communicate your results.

  IF... the airport does not appear in the utility AirPort... are you still using OS X (10.7.4) on your Mac, you put in your profile, or you have updated to a more recent operating system?  If so, what system would be that?

• How can I configure my Time Capsule (its predecessor) as an extension of WIFI network?

  I have the previous model of the time Capsule and a new version and two MAC computers. I want to use the Capsule of ancient times to extend my WIFI network. I have a MAC with a new current version of time Capsule in the center of my house. I have a second MAC set up with an earlier version of a time Capsule in my office. I want to expand the network from the center of my home, further, beyond my office. Anyone know what I need to do? THX!

  Place the old TC in the same room as each other.

  Do a factory reset.

  Start from a factory reset. No files are lost on the drive hard in doing so.

  Universal factory reset

  Turning off the TC... That is, remove the power supply cord or the power at the wall outlet, wait 10 seconds... Hold the reset button... be nice... Turn on always even now in reset... and keep holding in for another 10 seconds. You may need assistance because it is difficult to hold in reset and power on. It will show the success quickly flashing led front. Release reset... and wait a few minutes for the TC to reset and return with the factory settings. If the front LED flashes quickly you missed and simply try again. The reset is quite fragile in these... Press the key while it is just click away and not more... I've seen people bend lever or even break. I use a toothpick as a tool.

  NB. None of your files on the hard drive of the TC are removed... This simply clears the settings of the router of the TC.

  Open airport on the Mac utility and configure the old TC... it will automagically want to extend wireless.

  Complete the installation, then move the TC to a suitable place where it picks up good signal from the main TC. There is no need to a position of bad signal... then place it where the speed is close to full... but then covers your current area of dark (wifi not light).

  Fact... Voila... easy as pie.

• How can I save my Mac without my external hard drive?

  I travel constantly right now and do not live in a place I can call home, I have a suitcase and no airport Apple's Time Capsule.

  However I wish I could back up my Macbook beyond the usual Notes and calendar synchronization iCloud, which is done automatically.

  There are a lot of settings that I would not adapt to my own preferences once again, for example.

  What services are there for it?

  I'm looking for something that would provide a restoration, similar to what is offered on an iPhone via iCloud, an identical backup of my Macbook.

  Please help me on this, there is surely an option online for this already in this base world will we live?

  Thank you guys

  You really need an external drive for backups, unless you have a big enough SSD on the computer. If you do then simply set up Time Machine and turn it on. It will create snapshots stored invisibly on the SSD. Of course, they take a storage space. This is really not a good idea.

  You could buy instead a cloud-based backup service. We could use any number of them around you. For example, DropBox and SugarSync ChronoSync are good for the Mac. Of course, cloud storage is quite slow, and the first backup will be very slow finish due to its size. Subsequently, they make only incremental updates.

  You can buy an external SSD that can connect either using a USB - C or USB 3.0 port, as well as an accessory for your MacBook to activate the connection USB 3.0 and USB - C as the C - USB Hub, shuttle HooToo 3.1
