• Loading iTunes library of old, defunct macbook to new macbook using backups Time Machine

  Hello. How can I get iTunes library from my old Macbook loaded on my new Macbook using the backup Time Machine that exists from the old machine. The new mac is connected to the time machine, I can open Time machine, see the backups, but get nowhere when you attempt to load the library in iTunes on my new Macbook. I see the file .itl from the old machine to backups... where can I go from here?

  The iTunes library on the new machine is empty, so save is not a matter of concern.

  Thank you!

• How to recover or re - use a backup Time Machine disconnected?

  I had a hard drive will... "Brown" (overcooked SSD, don't know how it happened; "I think it's just a bad disk). Unfortunately, my Time Capsule (backup drive - this is not really a TC of Apple, if it matters) is also very picky. Well, I had a new SSD and cloned the old on SSD so I'm back in business on this effect, but in the process, I unplugged my wayward backup disk in Time Machine (as in, I accidentally said the temperamental player is NOT the source of archive TM). Is it possible to "bless" the backup of this wayward drive to retrieve archive it? I have access to all the files, and I recognize that I really need to get a new, reliable, drive; but in the meantime, is it possible to make the TM to accept the folder Backups.backupdb active as long as the backup plan "current", rather than simply to start with a new in this space?

  BTW, I use OS X 10.11.5. I followed the instructions to Time Machine: how to transfer backups from a current backup disk to a new backup drive - Apple Support, but am concerned about the fact that it is trying to create a new backup rather than press archives, I already. I probably missed in all care, is there a way to fix it?

  The answer might involve several steps.

  but I am concerned that it is trying to create a new backup rather than press archives

  It's still the right to go forward... Once you change the configuration of Time Machine... It will say that it will start a new backup, except if it finds an existing valid backup when it starts. If you have no other choice to the allow him to proceed... If you find it has created a new sparsebundle and started on... cancel the backup, and then try to inherit the old backup.

  See Pondini... a bit outdated but it has information not available anywhere else.

• I want to use Time Machine to format a new disk

  I had a hard drive failure (it was always a secondary drive) and I want to format a replacement with Time Machine backups of the drive it is replacing. How can I do this?

  You use utility disk to format, then Time machine to restore the files.

• Is there an advantage to having a backup disk image of Macintosh HD (for MacBook Pro) to ease/speed of recovery after a disk failure rather than using Time Machine to recover?

  I'm trying to understand the best way to prepare for the recovery of a failure in the drive for a MacBook Pro.

  I do not understand the nuances of the time Machine - I know from personal experience that it is a recovery tool great when your existing drive is intact and you're just trying to restore a file.  But what happens if the drive has a hardware failure and needs to be replaced?

  Is there an advantage to take periodic images of Macintosh HD for quick recovery (and then using the incremental backups Time Machine to catch up to the current position).  Or Time Machine may facilitate a recovery in case of failure of the disc just as easily/quickly that will give it to have a separate image backup?

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  YES!.  If you have a clone boot disk, you can either connect it to a MBP or Exchange it with the internal HDD failed and be back in business quickly.  Time machine, as good as is, can take several hours to restore your system, depending on the amount of data.

  For cloning, I recommend Carbon Copy Cloner.  It is not free, but it's worth the price:

  I use it in conjunction with Time Machine.  (two backups are better than one)

• Using Time Machine or the Migration Assistant to transfer information from and old Mac to a new one

  I had to think about upgrading a Macbook Air to a Macbook Pro and have done research on how pretty much everything (files, account icloud, etc.) to move to a new computer so I know how to do it when the time comes. I didn't save my current computer at the time I got it and didn't know whether it was necessary to do it before the transfer. Also, I found two different ways to move information from one mac to another, one way being using the migration wizard, the other via the time machine. The problem is that I've never used time machine (I checked my settings and it is turned off). I was curious to know which option would be the 'best' way and if not never back up my computer would be a problem. (If its possible, could someone also please explain how to back up my computer?)

  Thank you for taking the time to read this and I look forward I hope to get a reply soon!

  I use Time Machine often (and have used since its introduction).  I also upgraded my Mac hardware quite often (about every 18 months).  Whenever I move to a new machine, I use the Migration Wizard (and not Time Machine).  I've never had a problem.

  Then I suggest that you need not Time machine specifically in order to change computers.  However, you really need to keep backups simply because the material is not, and without a backup, you are subject to lose everything you have on your computer.

• 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 can I know if an external drive has been used for Time Machine and what computer it came with too?

  How can I know if an external drive has been used for Time Machine and what computer it came with too?

  I have several laptops and iMacs. I spent the relocation of the year and only used the MacBook Pro.

  Now I'm trying to figure out which drive goes with which computer

  I connected just a disk seagate 1.5 t and the first thing he did was to ask if I wanted to use it as a Time Machine drive.

  (1) if it is the TM disk accompanying this computer don't would not it have just started upward automatically?

  (2) what happens if I would have said yes?

  (3) I don't even know if it's been activated for TM. Is there a way to tell? It may hold just for iMovie files and other programs associated with a computer from my past.

  All readers of backup Time Machine contains a folder named: Backups.backupdb. If you open this folder, you'll find another folder with the name of the computer that has been saved. If several computers have been saved on the same disk, you will have several folders.

• 'Time Machine' backups on disk could not be ejected because it uses "Photoshop".

• Securely erase SSD using Filevault

  I am about to sell my MBP of 2009 with a 1 TB SSD.  I know that I can securely erase the drive as a traditional mechanical flat disc and if recommended someone following that sounds quite secured using filevault.  I'm aware that it can take a while to do but I am not hurry and eager to go through the process if indeed offers an additional layer of security if someone decides to hack.  I would that all expert opinion on it given that I don't consider myself a genius of Apple, or a guru on the SSD technology and encryption:

  1 turn on Filevault and implement a complex password of decription. (Note that it may take hours to encrypt the drive)

  2. once the drive is encrypted, start in recovery mode and erase the drive.

  3 reinstall the operating system and then turn on Filevault with a different password. (Shouldn't take as long to encrypt because there is very little data)

  4. boot into recovery mode, once more and wipe the drive.

  5 reinstall the operating system.

  Theoretically, all the old original data are an encrypted mess.  Also, the first Filevault password was erased and encrypted after the second installation of the OS.

  Probably no reason to go beyond 2 except to the reinstall the OS.
