• Restore the data in the external drive using Time Machine

  Hi y ' All!

  I store my photos in my external hard drive because there is not enough space in memory is internal. This is actually my second drive external hard than my first (Adata HE720) is not the beginning of last year. Unfortunately, my WD Elements has stopped working and I can't restore data using Time Machine, as the drive is not found in Time Machine under devices, and I'm sure that I restored my photo library and many other files from my old external drive using Time Machine.

  Can someone tell me how to recover my old files? I have many other important data here including my photos and I don't want to lose them. I'm fairly positive that Time Machine allows me to get the data as is the point of it.

  Thank you in advance!

  P.S. If you guys have any recommendation on a reliable external drive, please do tell me!

  Hey guys, I found the problem.

  It turns out that I'm never giving time Machine to deselect my external drive to backup; Therefore, there is absolutely no copy done during execution Time machine. I really don't understand why Apple made this the default behavior, but it is what it is.

  So, people, don't forget to go to Time Machine preferences and make sure that you remove the external hard drive that you want to backup under options. Once you do, you can enter the time Machine and your drive will appear under devices.

  See you soon.

• How to back up to external hard drive using time machine

  I just bought a new drive external toshiba with 500 GB of memory. When I tried to back up my computer last night through a time machine, I thought that it worked, but when I woke up this morning, time machine told me that my oldest and the most recent backup is none which means that it does not cross. I tried again this morning but after hitting "back up now" time machine prepares the backup, and then start it, giving me a ridiculously ETA such a 15 hours, then never completely complete the back which is really confusing so I do not know what to do.

  Did you partition and format your new drive before using it? What version of Mac OS X?

• I'm using Time Machine (1 TB), works very well, but because full starting to delete previous backups. Can I add another (LaCie 1 TB) HARD disk for backups? If so, how to proceed. Thank you!

  I'm using Time Machine (1 TB), works very well, but because full starting to delete previous backups. Can I add another (LaCie 1 TB) HARD disk for backups? If so, how to proceed. Thank you!

  You can add another drive to accept backups Time Machine... assuming it is correctly formatted for Mac to Mac OS extended (journaled), but things are not exactly "continue."

  You have not indicated if you intend to add the player to the USB port on the Time Capsule, or connect directly to your computer using USB or FireWire connections. Or the other method works, with the option to connect directly to the computer being the faster connection.

  Once the disc is added, you would go in Time Machine preferences (click the "clock" at the top of the screen on your Mac) to add the disk for Time Machine backups and delete the old Time Capsule disk, since backups will go is no longer this destination.

  Since you have a new drive, Time Machine will do a new full backup of your Mac and then go forward with incremental backups.

• How do I reinstall my Time Machine

  My time machine seems to be full! How is it, I thought that old data will be removed and make room for new data. The text says; You have a space of 1 t, but only 300 free and you have 405 to race.
  Now, I've lost the whole time machine, because I took it away. How do I reinstall my Time Machine?

  I don't understand the question...

  I guess that you are talking about Time Capsule (hardware router with hard disk inside) of Time Machine (software backup on the computer).

  I thought the old data will be deleted and make room for new data.

  When you perform an update of the OS, it gets lost... He really needs wipe the drive and start again.

  Now, I've lost the whole time machine, because I took it away. How do I reinstall my Time Machine?

  Do you need to recover anything from the old backup? Or you want to preserve the old backup, then use archive... plug a Mac to format USB key into the TC 1 TB or more and it will do a full backup.

  If you do not need to backup then simply click on erase and use the quick erase, which will take a few minutes at most.

  

  So just to be clear. Once you clear the disk the old backups are gone... and you can then start a new fresh backup...

  If this isn't what you want to do that... so DO NOT CLEAR... Once you clear, you can't recover.

  But it's the way to start with a new clean backup.

• Use Time Machine to back up files in Windows

  Can I back up files of the window automatically to the Time Machine in the Mac Help. I want to only backup data from applications.

  Thnx.

  Time Machine is not 100% reliable in the backup and restore of Virtual Machines and I would never use Time Machine to back up Virtual Machines and would exclude the folder containing my Virtual Machines to be backed up by Time Machine!

  That said, if the files in question are outside of the Virtual Machine and inside the OS X Filesystem, for example in your Home folder, then Time Machine will back up what the file system of the host that is not excluded.

• Why did all of my files migrate to my new iMac using Time Machine?

  I recently bought a new iMac and used Time Machine to transfer my data from my Macbook.  Why not a not transfer files of Pages, Numbers and Keynote?  Why all three have a? on the dock?

  Files transferred without doubt, but the Dock shortcuts are not connected to them.

  Try to remove these shortcuts from the Dock and replace them with news from your Applications folder.

• Impossible to use Time Machine on Airport Extreme

  Back in June, I brought a laptop HD work to save the laptop. It's something I have done 3 times a year, in addition to using Time Machine on my 1 TB Airport Extreme. Well, when I did that, I went from 'H Time Capsule' to 'Brian's Portable HD. Everything saved. No problem. It seemed.

  Unfortunately, I can no longer use Time Machine on the 1 TB drive. Every time as I try, I get "password to the server": Time Capsule". And the password I try does not work. Arrrggh.

  Is it possible to find the password lost at an Airport Extreme?

  Can or, if it's a no-go, I reset everything on it and start over?

  Thank you.

  Brian

  It would really help if you could provide the version of the operating system that you use on your laptop.

  The reason is that if you can access the AirPort Extreme using AirPort Utility, you can retrieve the "lost password" for the album Time Capsule, which could be the password wireless, could be the base station password, or it might be the disk password... it depends of how you implement the AirPort Extreme.

Specifically, I want to know how I can assure you that Time Machine DO backup files that have changed since the initial AND only the new backup files that have been added to the hard drive since the last backup?  In other words, Time Machine will do it automatically or it will save all the entire hard drive again?

  Time Machine which will automatically

  Yes.

• I need a few files to restore from a time machine backup to a different MacBook Pro that is connected to the same network

  Hi, I recently "lost" my MacBook Pro because of water damage.  Fortunately, I've been using time Machine\Capsule and I have a MacBook Pro that is connected to the same network/device.  I need to restore a few files in the backup TM of the computer 'lost' on computer 'work '.  I was able to 'Browse' the other TM backup (click the icon TM plus the button 'Alt').  The Web browsing is extremely slow (took about an hour to break down / find the file on the network).  However, I tried to copy the file and I get errors of the alias.   Please advise me on what I am doing wrong.

  Thank you
