• Problem restoring from Time Machine complex

  BACKGROUND:

  I never tried to do a restore from Time Machine.

  PROBLEM:

  2009 iMac internal drive is unreadable. *

  Previously saved on Time Machine before the problem of disk internal.

  Replaced the internal drive with 500 GB ssd

  When I try to restore the iMac via Time Machine, after providing the Time Capsule password, I get the following error:

  "There was a problem connecting to the server"Xxxx - airport-Time Capsule.local.""  Contact your system administrator.

  When I try to connect the iMac to time Capsule, which sees the iMac, after providing the Time Capsule password, I find myself in the same place above.

  When I try to use the Migration Wizard, same result.

  * I am told by the technology that has installed the new SSD, the system on the old internal drive is corrupt... but the data files are always accessible if the old drive is installed in an external enclosure that appropriate connector and wiring.

  Then... :

  1. How can I check the Time Capsule password?

  2. What is the answer to ' there was a problem connecting to the server "Xxxx - airport-Time Capsule.local." "  Contact your system administrator. » ???

  3. what other methods can I use to restore the backup?

  1. How can I check the Time Capsule password?

  The password is fully accessible using a soft reset.

  Press the reset button on the TC 1 s (that is, between 1-3 s).

  All passwords will be at default for 5 min.

  You can access the passwords via airport utility... No other router in the world, it is so easy and, therefore, has such low security like the Apple.

  

  Everything is revealed.

  

  2. What is the answer to ' there was a problem connecting to the server "Xxxx - airport-Time Capsule.local." "  Contact your system administrator. » ???

  The correct answer is $$ @ # $% * (! TC darn stupid..!)

  There's a good chance you have permissions issues. This makes life that little bit more difficult, but all will be revealed.

  I highly recommend you plug the TC by ethernet on the computer and do a full factory reset on it... and then set it to the top of all operating system has been installed on the iMac.

  No files are lost on the hard drive and you will delete all the other problems.

  So if you can't access the backup, it really is a permissions problem.

  3. what other methods can I use to restore the backup?

  Connect the original on the Mac disk using a USB key on his birthplace of SATA. See if you can get your files directly from the original source.

  You can also do something similar... Buy a USB... format correctly in Mac extended if it isn't already... and connect it to the TC... didn't check the TC on the disk. In any case, it's a good idea to protect your backup. You have to start no new backups on top of the old before you get your files.

  

  Plug this drive into the iMac and set permissions... you can not do this TB... only with the drive connected locally. You should then be able to access the backup.

  Migration is the best way to make the transfer, assuming that you have loaded a new computer specific OS...

  Just be careful of issues using a different user or the same user as the original computer.

  See here the instructions of Migration... which are a little outdated but show details much more than what apple has documented.

• Problem restoring from backup files

  Because I had to reformat, I tried for days restore files from backups. Backups are on a removable hard drive, I have: who is connected to my computer, and I can see the files by right-clicking on the folder.

  So I go to the center of backup and restore, click on restore files and get the message, "There is no backup on this computer." (Even though I know there are).
  If I click on advanced restore and restore files from another computer and check files from a backup made on a different computer. I'm sailing on the 'I' in the car. In the Date and time column, he later shows several backups, but in the other column, it says: "backup location is not available."
  How can I get the program to recognize that the "I" drive is, in fact, connected to the computer?

  I gave up and called the neighborhood guru. He discovered that it is possible, by searching the backup files, to copy the selected files directly in the records desired on the main drive, without going through the restore function. I don't know why it works like this, but I get back my files. Thank you for all the time spent on my problem.

  I synced my phone this morning. I discovered a few hundred or two of my contacts, 34 are only there. I'll do a restore from a backup. I discovered that although I was backed up my phone several times during the past two months, only two are listed, this morning and the other in January. [angry face] I select the backup of this morning. It then gives me the error message "itunes can't restore iphone because not enough free space is available on the phone." I click 'OK '. (I have 25 GB free on the phone.)

  Then it reboots my phone. The error message that it could not connect with the phone because it is locked and needs the password. I enter the password and click "Retry." iTunes will connect with the phone. He soon begins to synchronize, even if I have in preferences to prevent automatic synchronization of the iphone.

  When it is finished syncing, I check my contacts. Still only 34. I go through the steps again. It is an infinite loop. He still made things even. Judge on three occasions.

  I restarted my computer, stopped, and then restarted the phone.

  What is happening, but better yet, how can I solve this problem and find my contacts?

  Thank you.

  If you are / use iCloud to synchronize your contacts, they are not in this backup.

• Cannot repair the photo library. The best way to restore from iCloud library?

  The photo library of the system is damaged and cannot be repaired.

  It is said "Photos has attempted to repair the library"Pictures Library 2015 ", but can not open it." .

  
  

  I first met problems with this library a week before and at the time where I could repair and open the library successfully, but lacked a month value of photos.

  Given that it was successfully in the iCloud library, I left it to re - sync - but this process suspended several times before the end, and the photo library of the system now seems to be permanently damaged.

  I have no project of marked or impression of faces in the photo library of the system, then I would be happy just to restore from iCloud.

  My plan is to put in place a new - empty - library and then that designate the library of the system.

  If I understand this right, the new (empty) system Photo library will now resynchronize with iCloud and will copy all the contents of this library of back to my Mac.

  Is this correct? It is the most effective way to restore my library?

  And while I'm here - what is the best way to manage a very large library? I had my photo library become corrupted ten three or four times over the past years and have found it necessary to divide into single years to prevent this. I overlooked this piece of household by the end of 2015, and now it's happened again... Surely, there must be an easier way to manage libraries of images of several years?

  Is this correct? It is the most effective way to restore my library?

  Yes, if you don't have a useful upward on your Mac.

  How do you call a large library, I've never had a corrupt Library, I think that your problems are not the result of the size of the library, but rather something else. From my experience it is recommended to maintain a local upward, I use Time machine, but also have a second to the top using a third-party backup solution.

• After restoring from Time Machine MacBook Pro displays all my pictures, Documents etc. as 'other '.

  I recently installed a new HD in my mid-2010, MacBook Pro that the original was defective, I then restored from a time Machine up which was recorded on an external drive. My MacBook is now going great but I noticed the problem with how my saved items are displayed, I have about 110 GB of Photos, documents, etc. and all are showing as 'Other' when they should be distributed in the divisions 'Apps', 'Movies', etc.. I'm not sure how to solve the problem, I tried a Migration Wizard, but it says 'User needs Attention' so don't know where to go from here really. Any ideas?

  If you use the 'about this Mac' view, be aware that there is a bug in the program that it generates and should not be relied upon.  Sometimes, but not always, he will correct a reindexing of Spotlight:

  Hi Isakale,

  I understand that you're having trouble for OS X installed and restored from your Time Machine backup. In a situation where you work with a configuration of non standard volume for your OS X installation, you can consider installing OS X of the recovery of the Internet, the upgrade to the desired version of Mac OS X via the App Store, then your Time Machine data migration using the Migration Wizard, rather than recovery.

  Migration Wizard copies all your files to your new Mac so that you do not have to the do it manually. If your files are currently on a Windows PC, follow the steps in the migration of the PC instead. If your new Mac uses OS X Mountain Lion or earlier, follow the steps of Mountain Lion instead.

  Move your content to a new Mac
  https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT204350

  Recent Macs include the ability to run directly from a Web OS X Recovery version. Your Mac will automatically use this feature when the recovery on the startup disk system is not available. For example, if your boot drive is a problem, or if your boot drive has been replaced or deleted. Recovery of the Internet allows you to start your Mac directly from Apple servers. This system starts running a quick test of your memory and the hard disk to check for hardware problems.

  Recovery of the Internet initially asking you to select a Wi - Fi network and enter a password for the network if necessary. Then Internet recovery downloads and starts from a system recovery image. From there on, offers the same options and utilities like system recovery on a startup disk.

  Some Mac shipped with OS X Snow Leopard can use Internet after installation of OS X Lion or later and a software update.

• My Favorites are lost and Firefox can not restore from backup with this error msg "Unable to deal with the backup file.". Someone please help.

  I use Firefox 12 on my Macbook Pro, it crashed and when I rebooted, all my favorites have disappeared. When I tried to restore from the backup files, he returns with "Failed to process the backup file." Someone help please I would have lost years of bookmarks.

• Restore from Time Capsule

  I use a Time Capsule as storage for Time Machine backups. After a frost, my 2008 iMac is started directly with OS X Utilities and asking me to choose amongst, among other options, backup restore Time Machine.

  When I chose it, I get as far as being able to see a 'Time Machine backups' backup that I used previously (an external Seagate HDD) and who stay tuned for iMac & called 'Data' on the network "Bryans-airport-Time-Capsule. I don't remember selection/modification of such a cumbersome name, but on this basis, I think that it's okay to training for my backups.

  I then get to a list of backups, showing several iterations from today. The option ' restore from ' is gray, but seems to read "Macintosh HD on Bryan's computer," which leads me to believe he's looking for on my main HDD iMac, not on the time Capsule I thought I configured correctly in 2015. And when I select the more recent, I am led to a "search records...". "screen reader that can never find anything. Below, it reads "select the drive where you want to restore your system. If you want to use an external drive, you can connect now. »

  My best guess is it is only for his own HARD drive restore, and that is not that it is due to the fact that this problem began in the 1st place. But since I don't know, this brings me to here and hope someone can confirm if this is true (or likely to be true).

  Alternative to 1 restore screen was to attempt to repair/remove disk using disk utility. I did that in the hope I could fall on a way to solve the problem, but options screens was beyond my understanding and I didn't not blindly try things. At least, not yet.

  Any guidance or insight is immensely appreciated.

  Given that you are unable to select the internal hard drive as the place to "restore to", it sounds like your hard drive may have failed.

  If disk utility can't see the player he is most likely needs to be replaced.

• Update iPhone 4 iOS 7 and restored from iTunes, but still called to restore/establish new

  With the help of iTunes on OS X, I first saved my iPhone 4 and then selected Update.

  When it was full, the phone rebooted, then once I had entered my language and region, he gave me 3 options to Set Up iPhone:

  • -Set Up as new iPhone
  • -Restore icloud backup
  • -Restore from iTunes backup

  So I proceeded to restore from iTunes, by using a backup from before the upgrade.

  My problem: applying the restoration has not gotten me a more far - the phone brings back me to the page select a language, then back to the above 3 options. I tried once again sync in iTunes, but also backup to restore, nothing helps. WiFi is on, and I can see my mobile operator name in the upper left corner, so the phone is certainly up and running, but I can not go beyond the stage of installation.

  

  Which will be * restore iPhone *? It takes back me to iOS 4? With my phone already restored and now successfully upgraded from iTunes, how can I'm past the stage of configuration?

  You cannot restore an iPhone with iOS 7 aboard a backup performed on iOS 6 or an earlier version. Most likely, it is the cause of the problem.

  Apple did not provide an easy way to recover from this condition. If you are not able to carry out these instructions, please someone more experienced to help you get. One option is to take an appointment 'Genius' on an Apple Store.

  Starts the Internet recovery mode by pressing the key combination command-option-R to start ringing. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.

  Note: You need an Ethernet or Wi - Fi connection permanent Internet to use recovery. It will not work with modems USB or PPPoE, proxy servers or networks that require a certificate for authentication.

  In the OS X Utilities screen, select

  Utilities ▹ Terminal

  in the menu bar at the top of the screen, not one of the items in the OS X Utilities window.

  Follow the steps in this thread to ASC to split the fuser unit. The long string of letters, numbers and dashes you will need to enter will be different in your case. Copy and paste into the command in the Terminal window.

  This will remove all data from the fuser unit, then you had better be sure of your backups.

  Quit the Terminal, and then repair the Fusion drive (see "Troubleshooting" on the linked page.)

  Quit disk utility. Then you should be able to install OS X and restore your data from a backup in the main screen.
