How to clean the files of time machine restore after reinstall

Just did a wipe and reinstall on an iMac 2011 (10.8.5) mountain running Lion.

I don't want to do a full restore from Time Machine; I just want to take a few important files (cache profiles, e-mail, etc.). [Did the reinstall because my system was flawed and nothing else I did fix it.] [The story is here:beachball recurring in all applications in Lion, finally freezes iMac]

When I open Time Machine on my 'new' machine and turn it on, he says he has no previous backups, but begins to make its first backup in 120 seconds. There is no option to "enter" Time Machine and recover individual files.

I then turn off Time Machine because I'm afraid that it will make a new backup and erase / unrecoverable my previous backups.

The drive Time Machine target exists in disk utility. A 600 + files (backups, no doubt!) and verified without errors.

Before the clean and reinstall Time Machine worked perfectly. I have test-recovered some files and everything was good.

How do I introduce my iMac 'new' to my old backups Time Machine?

Thank you

Use tmutil inheritbackup such as described by the end Pondini in his FAQ, here: http://pondini.org/TM/B6.html. Follow the instructions in the blue box, entitled "inherit a backup. The is short and simple but please follow carefully.

I believe that you won't always be able to restore individual files until that Time Machine backs up new, then let him. Once this is done, you will have access to your old backups.

Alternate procedure: since you can not keep this old backup after the restoration of the individual in any case files, you can hold a key option key while clicking the Time Machine in your Mac's menu bar. A option «Browse other backup disks...» ' will be displayed. What to choose.

  • 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.

  • Time machine restore bugs too?

    I have MacBookPro Early 2015 with ElCapitan 10.11.4 installed on it. Offlate, MBP started erratic behavior, to be insensitive and frozen in the workplace.  Do not take the keyboard or touchpad controls.

    I took the latest TimeMachine backup.

    My question is if I restore the Mac with latest TimeMachine backup, he would restore the bugs too? If Yes, then what is the method to solve the bugs. And then, what is the use of Time Machine restore?

    If Yes, then what is the method to solve the bugs. And then, what is the use of Time Machine restore?

    The easiest solution is to simply remove the software that is causing the "bugs".

    The system itself and not operating not cause the problems you are having. They are probably caused by third-party software, but could be a problem with your trackpad or hard drive.

  • Win 7 hangs after Time Machine restore - Fusion v8.02

    New to the group, but a user of merger for a long time on a MacBook Pro 2009.

    It's a little complicated, but here are the facts:

    I have experienced a complete hard drive failure but had the system saved Time machine. After installing the new drive (Samsung 850 EVO SSD, 500 GB), I installed Snow Leopard from a dvd. I then did a restore from Time Machine since the last backup and most things worked very well. However, when I started Fusion (v8.0 at the time), I got the blue screen of death in Windows 7. After a few attempts, he found a remedy that helped win 7 to start normally and everything seemed to work fine. So I decided to upgrade the OS to El Capitan, and I'm back to the blue screen of death of Win 7. Nothing I've tried has worked to get Windows started, I can't start even in Safe Mode.

    I tried a manual uninstall complete Fusion 8 and reinstalled, but no change. I don't have much on the partition for Windows, really, just 3 programs I can not run in OS X, no storage data here either. Time, as I see it, I have two choices: 1) do an another Time Machine restore and downgrade of El Capitan by returning to the previous configuration. (2) do a complete reinstallation of Windows 7 and Fusion.

    If there is a way to just do a reinstall of Windows, I'm ready for that, too. (However, since the upgrade of the El Capitan I can't use the optical dvd drive with all disks based on Windows... already reported)

    Any help would be appreciated.

    As a follow-up, not long after my post, I get a call from VmWare support. (I submitted a ticket) Most excellent service. She takes control of my computer remotely and speaks to me through a new facility and a new virtual machine. I had downloaded a new version of Win 7 for installation and all went well.

    During the conversation I forget I wanted to install Win 10, but my system was apparently not compatible due to a graphics card or driver. She informs me that she has a solution for this and I am trying to install Win 10.

    Besides the support of VMWare!

  • Temporary files of Time Machine

    Had some problems with temporary files of Time Machine, which fills my boot drive with over 400 GB of files.

    I tried the command "sudo tmutil local disable", restart the mac, and then the command 'sudo tmutil enablelocal' but nothing happened.

    Then after trying more than those I lost the file '. '. MobileBackups' which I can't see from the finder by Go-> go to folder-> ".» MobileBackups"not through terminal.

    I also launched the drive and the authorization of repairs without success.

    How can I delete these files now?

    Hello NowApple,

    I understand that you are having problems with the removal of the Local snapshot that belongs to your time Machine upwards. It's something that you can get rid of by disabling Time Machine. When you turn that off, this disabled the Local Snapshot function and it is removed from your Mac. When you turn back the Time Machine, is activated again. Take a look at the information below for more details.

  • Can I clean the hard drive before installing Windows Dell & as I've heard doesent clean properly. And how to clean the drive of DART?

    Can I clean hard drive before installing Dell Windows 7 / as I have heard it is not clean everything properly. So how to clean the hard drive?

    Or can I restore my office before you install Windows 7 in the first place when it's new?

    Kind regards

    Bert Pooler

    Yes, you can restore the State as it was when new...

    Your computer is equipped with a recovery instead of disk partition...

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

    For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

    You may need to try several times to get everything above to work. If after several attempts, you have no chance, or the machine indicates that there is no recovery partition, your only option is to contact the computer manufacturer and ask for the model recovery discs...

    After the reset, you should get all the updates from Windows Update EXCEPT for hardware devices. Then, you install a good antivirus. ONLY AFTER you have done this, if you replace the stuff of backups or install anything else.

    My password, connect will not connect to it, the only option then is to use the 'comments' that does not give me full access.

    Could someone please advise how I can reset the login screen, any help will be much appreciated.
