• How to restore mail using Time Machine data

  Sunday my iMac that runs 10.8.5, had problems with Apple Mail. Email correctly loaded at 7:30 and was fine, but at 6:30 I opened the program to retrieve e-mail. The program crashed. I restarted the program and it quickly crashed again. After a 3rd reboot it crashed again. I restarted the iMac and when I tried to start the Mail, he acted as I've been setting up Apple Mail for the first time, wanting my e-mail address and password.

  I thought there is a data file that creates that so corrupted Mail, you can go back in time Machine and restore it. OSX does not allow me to change the Mail or restore from Time Machine, it gives me an error message that Mail is part of the OSX system and cannot be changed.  I have 5 email accounts that keeps track of the mail and so far it has only one account setup. I would like to restore all the email accounts to backup Saturday night before all this started.

  Is there a way to do this? Any thoughts on this is appreciated.

  Make a backup, preferably 2 backups on 2 separate drives.

  Quit the application.

  In Finder and hold the option/alt key while clicking on the menu item Go. Select the library. Then go to the Mail folder. Enter Time Machine and restore this file.

  If this does not work, there are additional e-mail folders in Library/Application Support, covers and containers.

• 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.

• Recovering data from a Time Machine to an external drive backup

  How to recover data from a backup Time Machine to an external drive?

  I use Time Machine to back up data (photos, videos) on an external drive (drive A) to another external drive (drive/B) separate that I use for Time Machine backups. After performing a backup, the external drive (drive A) appears in TimeMachine and can I recover files that are on the external drive (A) just as I can for the files that are found on the internal hard drive.

  I need to know what to do if I drop my external drive (drive A) completely and you want to recover the Time Machine backup on a new replacement drive?  When I disconnect my external drive (A) and enter the Time Machine, I don't find a way to access the files to recover.  Still... I know they are there!

• Apple Mail / time bug window machine

  Hello

  I'm having a problem with Time machine and Apple Mail. I had backups for over a year now using drives not 1, but 2, to be sure. I came recently in the situation where I would like to restore some of the emails which account is so more on Apple Mail (it's an old exchange account).

  I tried to open Apple Mail and then let Time Machine run on it (both with 2 drives connected with each other and with each of them separately connected), but there seems to be some sort of bug where the window Apple Mail on the open Machine time gets replicated and shown again 3 - 4 times, full screen and they all say "click on restore to recover...» "but are the Inbox empty names and emails. I can't do any recovery because neither the timeline on the left, nor the Cancel/restore buttons appear usually found when you use Time Machine are: what happens is that Time machine by itself appears to restore a couple of (corrupt) windows in full screen, which in fact, I see on the mission control , but I can do anything with because they aren't even in the environment of type galaxy of Time Machine.

  Has anyone else had this problem (not necessarily with Apple mail)? If so how do solve you this problem? I would like to know if it is really possible to get a recovery of e-mail Time machine with what's happening... It's a shame because in principle, I have all the data in Time Machine, even on separate disks 2 (rotating backups).

  Thank you

  Although you can restore a snapshot of Time Machine messages in the Mail application, it usually will not work with messages that were saved by an outdated version of the mail. In this case, you must use another method.

  Please triple - click anywhere in the line below on this page to select:

  ~/Library/Mail

  Right-click or Ctrl-click on the highlighted line and select

  Services ▹ Open

  the contextual menu.* should open a folder.

  Enter Time Machine and scroll to the snapshot that you want to restore from. The folder named "Mail" are subfolders named "V2" and/or "V3" (according to the version of Mac OS X that was used at the time that the snapshot was taken.) Inside of one of these subfolders are several subfolders representing your e-mail accounts. The name refers to the email addresses that you use. Select the account folders you want and then select

  Restoration of the... to the...

  in the action menu (gear icon) in the toolbar of the Snapshot window. Restore the files on the desktop and not in their original location.

  Import the mailbox in the folders that you restored to the office. The imported messages appear in a new mailbox. Move those you want to keep everywhere where you want and delete the rest. Then, delete the files on the desktop.

  * If you do not see the item context menu copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. In the Finder, select

  Go ▹ go to the folder...

  from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return.

• IMac WITH TIME MACHINE WE BACKUP DATA FILES (MS Money) VMF

  Anyone know how to make a backup of the files to merge with Time Machine data?  I'm just using a virtual machine, no Boot Camp.  OS is XP running Microsoft Money and wish for these data files will be saved, as they automatically on Time Machine backup.  I tried to reset the backup to the shared folder destination, but then could not find it in the shared folder.

  Thank you

  ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

  It is stored in the file package VM, with everything else. So I think you're wondering if you can save the snapshot itself, without having to save the rest of the files for this virtual machine. The answer is probably not "easily", although I'm sure that others with more experience can give you a more detailed answer.

  The long and short if this is probably: If all you want to do, on a regular basis, save the files that are inside the virtual machine that have been changed (for example Money files), you must store them outside of the virtual machine (usually on a shared folder). But make sure you back up the virtual machine itself at least once, and probably whenever you install something again. But of course it depends on how paranoid, you will lose your hard drive (and paranoia is not always a bad thing, aty least in this case).

• Time Machine deleted messages on an external drive to the trash can on iMac are taking place on the hard drive?

  I am struggling with a computer, try to empty the trash with 1million 300,000 Time machine backup files. It runs for two days now and won't install. At this rate, I'll need a week before my computer becomes viable. I don't feel able to go to the Terminal to do the trick. Also at this point, I'm afraid to stop the process again... Backups on an external drive of pigs 400 GB on my drive hard imac... I have so little room to work right now. I deleted some 200,000 files already yet the storage on my imac HD has not moved. The files in the Recycle Bin of the external drive really live on my hd now until they will be deleted if all goes well before Christmas?

  I have a new computer to come next week so I'm wondering if I'll just reformat my entire hd in my imac to solve this problem... Any ideas?

  You do all this in the Finder?

  Time Machine has to delete the files from the user interface, normally "browsing Time Machine backup", navigate to the desired folder, and select the option "delete all backups of...» ». This is the approved way that should work.

  If you are manually dragging the items in the trash of in a Time Machine backup, it can choke. Time Machine stores data with many levels of access control permissions & Finder seems to have difficulties to remove to empty the trash. In fact, I think that the TM drive has limits to prevent normal users to change data on this disk.

  Personally, I think your safest option is to abandon the process, restart, erase and reformat the Time Machine drive. Who will lose all history backups but again in a clean condition seems to be better than trying to manually prune the Time Machine data. Time Machine removes old backups when it is full - so you shouldn't really need to intervene like this anyway.

  Wait and see if anyone has a better idea.

  P.S., each disk has its own "basket", so doing drag items should not fill your Mac startup disk. Maybe the operating system is out of memory, try to process all the files, exit other applications & see if that changes anything, you may have to wait just if you want to avoid to abandon the process.

• I want to go back to El Capitan Yosemite, but I don't have a return upwards on Time Machine. Can you please explain what I can do to get back to Yosemite. Thank you

  I would like to return to Yosemite to El Capitan as my v5 Adobe Photoshop crashes constantly, as now seems to be unstable since upgrading to El Capitan.

  Unfortunately I do not have a back up of my laptop on Time Machine (stupid, I know), so how can I do for the reversal, please?

  Make a backup before installing, preferable 2 backups on 2 different disks.

  Go to the App Store purchases tab and download Yosemite. You will be probably get says can't you install it, but download it anyway. The program below to create a bootable USB key. Boot from the Flash drive, run the check/repair disk utility and repair permissions until you get no errors.  Reformat the hard disk using Disk Utility/Erase Mac OS extended (journaled), then click on the Option button and select GUID. Then re-install the operating system. Use the installation wizard to restore your Time Machine data.

• Backup Time Machine greyed out, even if the external drive is attached and backup is present

  Try to restore an old iTunes library and all my music for complex reasons (two on a Macbook Pro hard drive failure, not enough space for iTunes on the SSD space have now). I have a Time Machine backup to an external drive that is plugged, and the backup I need is clearly visible in the Finder. But in Time Machine, it is grayed out and inaccessible. If I try to just copy the iTunes folder, overall I get an error "not enough free space" even if there is lots of space available (119 GB iTunes folder, 165Gb disk space). Any ideas gratefully received.

  System information:

  

  Proof that I'm not a fool:

  

  

  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.

• Time machine won't back up e-mail

  My problem is that the e-mail messages in the e-mail on my iMac iCloud account are not saved to Time Machine. This seems to go back to the upgrade of the El Capitan.

  I have four IMAP accounts in Mail (ICloud, Btinternet, Google and Yahoo), which works very much like email accounts. However, in Time machine only the last three save. Shows mailbox to iCloud in the sidebar on the left, but without display of messages; messages to display to the other three mailboxes and can be recovered.

  I rebuilt, reindexed and removed/re-added, all mailboxes, but nothing changes.

  After reading (and following) advice, I wonder if the problem is in my V2 and V3 files. The three mailboxes that upward are in V3, but on behalf of Apple stubbornly remains in V2 which I thought should now, in El Capitan, be redundant:

  

  However, it is at the limit of my understanding. I remember I had a struggle during the installation of El Capitan initially regarding the mailboxes in the process of disappearance but eventually got mail works again and thought more about it. I don't check if messages have been backed up.

  I have not all messages stored to preserve or migrate. Let me just messages to be saved on TM from this time, as they used to be. It is not a huge problem for me and I'm not ready to go to the lengths of resettlement El Capitan, but if there is something relatively simple, that I can do to make things work again, I'd be glad of any help.

  Try this. Open mail (application) on your computer and you see all your emails. Then, open the time machine. It will open in the mail. You can scroll to the emails you want. From here you can download or get what you want. Go to the dates etc you want and recover

• How to recover emails from comcast to time machine

  I use Safire for browser and Comcast Xfinity to the e-mails and I have a folder named saved emails. I'm trying to find this file in order to recover a decade lost emails. I have a seagate backup drive and use Time Machine to back upward. I was able to locate emails but not the specific file these emails were where is the folder of saved emails. Where can I find these in Time Machine? I clicked on what it labelled library with no luck.

  They were in one of your many libraries?

• Restore Time Machine wifi data in neutral

  Help! Today I return MacBook Air of my wife in an Apple Store. They fixed a software problem. Apple wiped the hard drive, but the Air has been saved our Time Machine network. Apple has installed the latest OS X, but not the data of my wife. This, I thought, would be easy and simple.

  The problem is with the restore / recover the process. The recovery process looks fine. I selected the data to be restored and the 40,000 more files seem to be download nominally and after about 20 minutes, he seemed to be almost done.

  However, the process is at a standstill, apparently at the end. On the page titled "Transfer of information", it says "one minute remaining to 17 MB/s". While the number of MB/s continues to fluctuate (10, 18, 15, etc.), this statement is still. (see image below) It has been like this for more than one 1 & 1/2 hours.

  I am following up the wifi connection and it is strong and fast.

  Should I click Cancel and see what happens? Suggestions

  

  It won't hurt to let you it run for a few hours.

  If it succeeds, then stop and restart the computer and the TC.

  Don't allow TM to do a new backup... it's essential... you must first pick up these files...

  No chance you can do a full restore to a new location. It's pretty simple to do... but the wizard configuration rather than migration.
