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

Three ways to make the House/library folder Visible

A. this method will make the folder visible permanently. Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder, and paste the following at the command prompt:

chflags nohidden ~/Library

Press RETURN.

B. click on the desktop, press the Option (⌥) key, select library in the Finder menu go.

C. go to the folder in the Finder menu select go. Paste the following text in the path field:

~/Library

Click the OK button.

There is more than a bunch of file on the computer. The major is a key ring, located in the folder/Home/Library folder. 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 Due to the disappearance of James Pondini is the site is no longer updated. Therefore, some information may be somewhat outdated. But you will find the method to restore a single file or a folder from a Time Machine backup on his site.

  • How can I PREVENT Time Machine back on the wake from sleep?

    I leave my machine on the work week and when I finished the night, I SLEEP there.

    In the morning, he has no need to backup first thing. But Time Machine insists on execution from the moment I have a mouse and he wakes up from his sleep.

    It was fine when it was new and fast, but now he is old and slow (especially - but mostly because I really push to the limit with multiple Safari Windows opens and executes a large number of software design at the same time, I have to do for work).

    My question is simple:
    How to tell Time Machine to does not have a return on the wake from sleep? or;
    Say this do not back up from 06:00 to noon? or;
    Is it a third party plug in that allows me to customize the time Machine more?

    Another idea on what just said or it to no return for even the first hour or two when it comes in the morning or even in any time to sleep during the day. Automatically.

    I also have my drive main external file mirroring AND use Super Duper once per day to fool the internal drive (I total plan control) AND back up all files off site (I total plan control). But, Time Machine is also always at hand to get it done. If only I had a little control over it, so she did not have the necessary step back up the minute I sit down. Significantly slow down my work time productive morning!

    Time Machine really shouldn't bog down your machine that badly.

    If Time machine running interferes with your ability to use the machine, then something else is wrong. It shouldn't affect performance in this way.

    If it's all just "annoying"... Well... Why is this a big deal?

    Maybe you should run a report Etrecheck and post the results here. If something is moving your system, which can help us identify what it is.

  • Door key lost in the time machine backup

    Dear community,

    Because I had trouble with the speed of my MacBook Pro (and nothing else developed), I had to set up entirely new.

    Before installing El Capitan, my MacBook Pro (starting 2011) ran on Yosemite 10.10.5. I made two backups with time machine, generated a bootable El Capitan installation USB key, in format Macintosh HD, installed at El Capitan and ran all the updates. The system works well, everything works perfectly and my Mac is fast again. Now, I manually copy things that I need in my system of charges.

    Here, the problem is: I can't find the old keychain file in the time machine backup!

    Keychain works with the keys stored in iCloud. However, the other buttons are gone.

    As I discovered, ~/Library/Keychains is hidden. I did it visible on my system running. However, this does not work in the backup file. It remains hidden or - worse - have not been stored in the backup. I don't know that I have excluded from time machine backup only two totally different folders (dropbox and movies).

    You have any ideas how I can find my keychain (login.keychain if my search was right) in the time machine backup?

    Thanks a lot for your help!

    Time Machine, please press the shift-command-C key combination. The windshield will show the mounted volumes. All snapshots should now be accessible. Select the one you want and search for files to restore.

    If you need to restore from a backup of the hidden user library folder, first select a snapshot, and then press shift-command-G. A go to the folder dialog box opens. In this document, you enter the path to the folder. The dialog box will help you by automatically filling parts of the path when you start typing.

    The path starts with the slash character ("/"). Enter that. The rest of the parts is separated by slashes.

    The next part is the date and time of the current snapshot. Enter a '2', and the rest of the date should be filled in automatically. Press the right arrow key to access the end of the path. Enter a slash to start the next game.

    Next is the volume name (usually "Macintosh HD" unless you assigned a different name.) Start typing, then jump to the end and enter a slash.

    The next part is 'Users', followed by a slash.

    Then is your short user name. It is also the name of your home folder, which is represented by an icon of the House in the sidebar of a Finder window.

    Finally, enter "Library", and then press return. You should now be in the library folder. From there, you can move like in the Finder. You can also select another snapshot of the same folder.

  • Where are the time Machine connects to Sierra?

    Running Sierra on a late 2009 iMac. Time Machine works well and updated regularly. However the Time Machine buddy Widget shows all the information. Study using the Console indicates that the TM log entries are to be absent in Syslog. Nothing shows using the "backupd" as a filter on the system log. Under Diagnostics and usage data, I see information for the type of backup and "NOERROR" for completion.

    Does anyone know what has changed in the Sierra? Or is it my unit?

    Boyfriend of Time Machine does not work with Sierra

    Console is 'redesigned', extraction of newspapers can be difficult...

    But!

    You can copy the lines of command in Terminal to see the logs of Time Machine ("TM on the fly" and "History of TM")

    Since this discussion started I see how activity time Machine Console with macOS Sierra;

    By copying this command (from John Galt) line in the Terminal I can view TM-history-logs for a few days back;

    Newspaper show - predicate "subsystem =="com.apple.TimeMachine"'-info | grep ' upd: (' | cut-c - 1-19 140-999)

    This command line also gives information of a TM running 'on the fly', but after the TM copy I have to put in the line of command again TM start-up for a new copy (I can live with that...)

    By copying this command (from chockosmund) line in the Terminal I see what TM is ding on the fly, but did not get the newspaper story.

    the log stream - style syslog - predicate 'contains a [cd] 'Time Machine' senderImagePath' - info

    This command line is that Terminal shows constantly new TM-logs.

    Thank you John Galt and chuckosmund!

    I have a separate Terminal office-space computer were I can watch how TM is progressing.

    Hope that answers your question.

  • Remove the Time Machine backups in a certain amount of time

    I have an iMac in the House which is not backup because I have just updated to El Capitan, then now it says that the time Machine doesn't have enough space for a new backup (no doubt because my 200 + GB photo library moved to the new application Photos). Therefore, I need to get rid of some my time Machine backup. My MacBook Pro has almost 1 TB of backup files and I want to delete some, but I don't want to delete ALL my files backup, just in case I need something from him.

  • Where my iBook is stored on the time machine

    Hello

    I recently had to install a new copy of OS X El Capitan on my iMac 27 "Office 2010 and I'm unable to locate the file extension which had more than 100 books.  Most of my books were conversions when I went to kindle for iPad and I lose nothing I'd already bought but I cannot locate the library of my iBook anywhere in one of the back-ups in my time machine and I'm worried that I could have lost all.

    I tried to go to GO to the FINDER and now OPTION while clicking on LIBRARY, CONTAINERS , ETC. , but could ' t find my books.

    Hoping that I'm looking in the wrong place. Any advice would be most useful.

    Hello bkings001,

    Thank you for being part of the community of Apple!

    If I understand correctly, you are unable to locate your iBook files after the installation of El Capitan.  I am a big reader and would not lose these files.

    So you're on the right track.  El Capitan stores files in ~ / Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBooks/Books.  You should be able to restore these from your Time Machine backup using the usual method.  If you need a refresher on how to restore using Time Machine, check here:

  • Once again the value of the Time Machine

    I did install clean and fresh for the new OS El Capitan, erasing any ssd drive, where I imported all the data external Yosemite Backup by usb drive.

    I used the airport Time Capsule for 2 years in Yosemite and now I want to connect to El capitan, but I wonder if I lost inside TC previous data.

    My field of application must Add new backup of El Capitan, keeping the previous Time Capsule content (of course if there is free space!)

    This may occur for use transport CANADA data if I forgot import specific data.

    How can I join TC El Capitan please? Suggestions?

    Your original (from Yosemite) backups for the past two years are still on your time capsule to the sparsebundle disk image.  You have done a clean install of OS X El Capitan and retrieved the data and the settings you wanted from your Time Machine backup.  What you need to do is then open Time Machine preferences and choose "select disk" - and re - select your Time Capsule.  A new backup will start (and it will be a full backup) - but it will not overwrite your original historical backups of Yosemite - they will remain separate within the sparsebundle.  A quick glance-, it may seem like they are gone - but Time Machine will show you only the backups for the latest version of Mac OS X by default.  You can 'Browse other backup disks' hold down the option key when you click the Time Machine icon in the menu bar.  If you need to restore your whole machine to Yosemite or to a point before installing El Capitan - the "Time Machine backup restore" option in the recovery partition will allow you to review and select the old backups of Yosemite.

    To "do" to ensure that your time capsule is not running out of space.  If space is low - there is a risk of Time Machine, remove older backups.

    If you believe that there is a lack of disk space on the time capsule - another option would be to create a new folder in the root of the time Capsule and name it "old backups.  Drag the sparsebundle existing in the new folder.  The move operation must be almost instantaneous.  Time Machine will no longer see the sparsebundle and will not attempt to clean or to crush it.  When the next backup run - it will create a new image of sparsebundle containing a full backup to the root of the time Capsule.  You can always restore (if necessary) of the sparsebundle you have hidden in the folder "old backups.

    A third option (if disk space is very limited) would be to move the sparsebundle existing in the folder "Old backups" and allow Time Machine to create a new sparsebundle.  At the same time - you can copy the old sparsebundle to another drive somewhere - and then delete it from the time Capsule to free up space.

  • How to remove backups Time Machine to a specific drive

    I can't find how to better use Time Machine in my situation. Here is my configuration:

    I have a 6 TB external drive dedicated as a Time Machine backup. It backs up my internal drive as well as the three external drives (A, B, C). Player "A" is always connected and is constantly supported, but readers 'B' and 'C' are linked only from time to time to archive older files.

    I recently made a few changes on the disc 'B' and left connected so it was saved, but Time Machine tells me I don't have enough room... it seems he's trying to save the whole 1.3 TB of data rather than the 15 GB or if I've changed.

    I'd like to time Machine would be just delete old backups from the 'B' drive specifically, but except that, what I would do is manually delete older backups for just the "B" drive get rid of enough space to do a new backup, but I get an error when you try to delete the files off the backups. How can I get rid of backups for a specific player?

    Thank you!

    Visit Time Machine FAQ of Pondini helps with Time Machine. You will use the Time Machine application in your Applications folder for managing backups. There is an excellent explanation on the site linked above that explains how to remove backups or backup files.

  • How to calculate the time to SELECT

    I want to know how to calculate the time taken by the SELECT query.

    For example: I run a select statement in TOAD (oracle version 9i) who takes 40 seconds to run, but in the output window, it displays few records. It says "list 1 of 500 records, more records exist". This table has total 20 million records.

    Now my question is: have you my SELECT query took 40 seconds? or it took 40 seconds to SELECT 500 records.

    If it took 40 seconds to SELECT 500 records then how to calculate the total amount?

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    To avoid the exit which is probably not really need you can make

    begin
      for c in (select * from xy /*your query */)
      loop
        null;
      end loop;
    end;
    /
    

    This gives an estimate of the time to recover all the lines.
