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.

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.

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.

  • How can I restore mac Time machine backup to most recent?

    So, I recently met several problems with my old mac. He started acting upward with the blinking folder and question mark more often. So I did multiple time machine backups and have since then tried to reinstall the OS and many other options, but it looks like my mac middle of 2007 has had its day. So I bought a new mac and tried to restore the back upward on the external hard drive. I get the message that his back is an older version and it cannot be restored and I should use from the other mac migration assistant.

    So the question is: If the first mac is burned and I can not restore settings etc of the time external hard disk machine, how to restore the whole upward? Can I transfer files only?

    Very much appreciated.

    Hi Sir,

    You cannot restore data in time machine just like that. You use the data transfer assistant to recover your old records to your new Mac.

    The data that you used time machine made to your old mac are not available to your new mac. There is limitation of the system.

    Hope this could help you.

  • 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 configure my Time Capsule wireless for backups

    I recently changed the ADSL broadband cable. So it took to move my modem to the other side of the room where my cable connection. When I got the computer, modem, ADSL modem and the TC were a few feet from each other. However - now I have a wireless connection between my mac and the gateway Max Telstra modem and works very well. However, the TC has a yellow light hard now and does not connect to the internet. I can't the airport to recognize it as a base station and I think to be able to return to the company the automatic backups, I need to somehow get the TC identified as a base station. Would that be correct? I don't know if the yellow led indicates that the HARD drive in the unit has failed, but I begin to suspect this. Or - should I be plugging the TC on the modem and then try to have the computer to connect with the TC through the other side of the room?

    There are two ways to deal with the problem.

    However, the TC has a yellow light hard now and does not connect to the internet.

    Amber hard... which means no flashing is a very bad sign.

    Do a reset on the TC.

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

    Plug it into the Telstra modem and see if the front LED will turn to blinking orange.

    If it remains solid amber a failed hard drive is the most likely cause...

    Tell me what model it is... A1xxx of the base unless it is from the top.

    Another suggestion is to purchase a 2.5 "1 TB or 2 TB drive self-powered. That plug into your iMac and use it for backups... It is faster, cheaper and more reliable than the replacement of the TC.

    You has of course set the exclusion in Time Machine?

    By default, Time Machine will exclude your second drive unless you have included it. Did you?

    Once you get to this level during the backup, you can do a full restore manually whenever you want.

  • How can I restore my default browser

    I have problems with my email Go Daddy account. Go daddy said that I need to restore my default browser. I already deleted my history, cookies and cache settings. How can I restore firefox default.

    I'll answer that in a few minutes, but first of all, what is the problem you are having with the account?

    What the function of Firefox Reset done that create a folder of fresh settings, carrying over your bookmarks, saved passwords and some other information but shedding some of your add-ons (extensions and themes) and custom settings. It's quick and easy, but in some cases, you can lose information, such as groups of tabs, it's important to you. This article contains more information: Refresh Firefox – reset settings and Add-ons.

    To see if a reset is likely to help until you do, you could test email from GoDaddy in a totally blank Firefox profile. A new profile inherits the plugins already installed on your system, such as Flash, but otherwise, will look like a new installation. If this does not resolve the problem of GoDaddy, then it is useless to do a reset.

    If you want to try this, close Firefox and starts in the Profile Manager, as described in this article: use the Profile Manager to create and delete profiles Firefox. Any time want spending profiles, close Firefox and come back to this dialog box. I recommend that you use the suggested default location, do not delete anything without first making backups.

    The site works as expected in the new profile?

    I have 2 imacs and a laptop computer and you want to back up all three wireless via time capsule on my existing wifi network. If we can also use the time capsule as my wifi and replace my uverse wifi, that would be great. possible?

    If you want to make sure that you will be able to get the Apple support in case of problems or questions with your backups, you must use the wireless Time Capsule to back up your Mac.

    As long as the time Capsule provides a wireless signal, you can decide who to your 'main' network, then use it wireless Uverse for "guest", or children. If you do not need the Uverse router/modem wireless at all, it is possible to turn off wireless on the device and make it work only as a support modem/router...with Uverse wired.

    At this point, you can start thinking about how you want to configure things and get back in touch if you need some advice on how to do it.  We need to know what operating system that uses the Mac that you normally use to administer the time Capsule, provide good instructions, if you need it.
