  My computer with two hard drives and 2 starting systems has the car crash in the solid state. When I got the new drive and tried to restore from time capsule, I lost some data. How can I see what backups are on the time capsule? My laptop is also saved to the time capsule. Everything is in 'Data' when I look through the Airport utility. I think that the information that I've lost are still there since I was a Capsule 3 to.

  Time Machine backup to a sparsebundle.

  The sparsebundle will use the share name of computer. So, it should be obvious who is your Macbook and that is your Macpro.

  Open the sparsebundle in Finder and keep open the subfolders until you get to the backup of each separate hard drive...

  You has of course set the exclusion in Time Machine?

  By default, Time Machine will exclude your second drive unless you have included it. Did you?

  Once you get to this level during the backup, you can do a full restore manually whenever you want.

• Restore from Time capsule, but new files on the target machine, won't be wiped out

  I'm trying to move files between two MacBook, however, I have been using the new MacBook for a while (like a year) and a lot of files/images/person of the most recent data on it (dataset B for example).

  So I recently did a full backup on my older MacBook (say A Dataset).  I wonder if I do a "restore" time capsule backup (data set A) against my new MacBook, the new dataset would B be destroyed?

  My desired outcome is to have the dataset A + B all in my new MacBook.

  DataSet B backup, restoration of A DataSet, then restore DataSetB.

  Please, do not restore OS X from A DataSet.

• 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.

• is it better to restore from time machine or from a backup cloned

  I just got my replaced Mac hard drive. Of course, I did a backup first - two, in fact. One is my Time Machine stored on my Time Capsule backup. The other is a backup cloned, made with SuperDuper!, stored on an external hard drive.

  Now, the mac is back with it's all new hard drive, and I was wondering: is there an advantage to restoring from a backup vs the other? Is "Restore from Time Machine backup" a better option than with SuperDuper! to restore the clone bootable? Or vice versa? Or does really make any difference at all?

  Additional info: the TM and Clone were both looking at the same time (give or take a few minutes) and the Mac, at the time where it has been saved, ran the Mavericks. I also asked Apple to install the Mavericks on the new hard drive instead of El Capitan.

  Display?

  Thanks in advance.

  It really makes no difference that you are restoring from.

• iMac in suspension after restoring from Time Machine

  Sorry - closed my previous thread by mistake then publish again for assistance:

  Hi - I had a late 2012 27 "IMac El Capitan 10.11.4

  A few days ago a reboot is required after (I think) an upgrade of the El Capitan, but the machine hanging after the reboot, showing a gray screen, a small circle in the middle with a grey diagonal line in the circle. Under the circle turning another circular graph which gives the feeling that I have to wait for the machine to do something.

  In any case, the machine was stuck in this mode then after a lot of messing around, I went for a full restore from Time Machine (which is held on a NAS). Everything seems to be going smoothly, taking 20hours. He said full restoration and did a restart, but I am now stuck on the circle of greg with the diagonal line through it again that does not heal a re-boot. Utility disk V13 (450) shows on the left:

  • Drive internal
    • Macintosh HD. I can select Macintosh HD disc and verify and repair run correctly. It shows 852 MB free space of 1.11 TB of capacity
  • Disk2
    • System basis of Mac OS x, check disk is fine. It shows 38.3 MB available 1.19 GB capacity

  Maybe some sort of thing disk permissions?

• File restore from Time Machine Yosemite to El Capitan

  I need to restore a single file from a Time Machine backup of Yosemite to my new iMac El Capitan.  The file in question has been saved from a Mac Pro from 2008 to a Time Capsule.  I put Time Machine in the dock and right clicked on it, so I could navigate "Other Time Machine disks" and I am able to see the Mac Pro to backup, then select it.  However when loading the backup, it's for my new iMac and not for the Mac Pro.

  How can I solve this problem?

  Hi jt

  To be honest, the easiest is to go through the Finder. Navigate to the document you want and copy. Then simply paste it where you want.

  The finder will allow you to see all of the back-ups no matter the OS at the time.

  Hope this helps, Greg

• How can I restore my time capsule documents folder?

  I use an iMac OS X El Capitan and support up to a Time Capsule airport running.

  One of our user accounts on the iMac ran into problems w access to the apple of the user ID (could not access iCloud preferences, etc.) before doing a clean reinstall of the OS X software, so I opted to try to remove the problematic user account (another account has no problems) and then configure a new user account. It seems (the jury is still pending on that) have toured and account is running normally.

  My question now is to restore a subset of the records of the time Machine to the specific user. Is it possible and if yes, can you give me instructions on how to do?

  Thanks in advance.

  Migration wizard does not have the granularity you need. It is simply not possible to choose more great lines.

  So, you'll need to do it via the standard recovery... method that looks like you have never used.

  This is the basic method of use Time Machine, you will need to learn how do.

  TM open via icon in the dock. If this isn't in the dock it from applications.

  All you have to do is open TM...

  Go to the date when the user has always existed.

  Now in the finder as the interface.

  Go to the user that you want to restore... I suggest that you actually just take the folder of any user.

  Sorry I can't take screenshots inside the TM... so if this is not clear look at a standard youtube video, of which there are hundreds.

  It's the old version... but it is clear and well spoken.

  https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=6bcf54aRBPk

  Restore now all the folder to somewhere else... maybe not even on your hard drive, but on a USB key or a convenient place.

  Once the entire restored user to a location, you can then choose say all the documents in the documents folder and copy it directly to the new user that you created, file documents... same thing for music, even for photos etc... the actual application should always be connected libraries... which will make you within itunes or photos, etc..

  Our great master guru on this stuff is Pondini, who died some time ago... and it is a few obsolete versions... but it is always interesting to read.

  About the use of configuration and migrate...

  http://pondini.org/TM/home.html

  The real using TM

  http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html

  The restoration is Q14-17 and fairly detailed.

  I made an example using method pondini... just iphoto, but gives a good idea how do...

  Cannot access old files on time capsule

  If you want to just retrieve the documents folder say... Then, you can use the same method... Simply select the entire folder.

  The permissions problems arise often... but once the files on your local disk, you can correct them.

• Can I do a differential restore from Time Machine?

  I have a user who has a file structure that lists many companies, each company has its own folder, and inside each folder there is a file called "Notes.docx. This means that each company has a generic file called notes:

  Companies folder

  File of the company 1

  Notes.docx

  Business account 2

  Notes.docx

  File of the company 3

  Notes.docx

  I've already made conscious, that this is a bad idea because it can identify files specific notes difficult, however this isn't the problem.

  The problem is that there are hundreds of records of the company , and it appears that many files of notes are missing at random. I don't understand not what causes some of them should be deleted, but not all, but that's where we are. To further complicate the issue, that he did not have a Time Machine backup since 3 months ago, so simply rolling the MBP back is not an option. Currently she does is he finds a company that does not contain the file notes that it connects to the time Machine and restores a single file.

  Of course the way he does now is not very effective and will take considerable time. I'm looking for is an option that would make a differential comparison on its records of the society and those who lack the file notes , unroll the previous version of time Capsule. Is this possible? I'm also open to other suggestions, thank you all!

  Time Machine can do in one shot... If you retrieve a directory on the existing directory... Yes, I think it will be...

  Be smart... Copy the directory to a new location existing.

  Then do a restore of this directory of backup TM in the same place... let run and then check the results. Look particularly for situations where known files could be early version on the last copy.

  Moreover,.

  I could do this in two steps.

  1 retrieve the entire repertoire... without doubt, all the records of the company are in the folder documents or something on his computer.

  You can go to TM and retrieve the directory to another location.

  2 copy the directory from the original. Be smart of course use a copy of terminal as rsync command. Just look to the top of the rsync command... you don't need to be pushed eggs... but being smart of course... do not do without a trial on the copy of its directory with all the files of the company first to make sure it isn't wasting. I just googled for rsync command to file update from the source to the target.

  rsync - v h - r Pei t source target

  This transfers only new files and files already existing but put to update the:

  The parameters in detail:

  • -h: numbers readable human
  • -v: talker
  • -r: recurse into directories
  • -P: --partial (keep partially transferred files) +.
    --progress(show progress during transfer)
  • -t: preserve modification times

• Partition missing after restoring from Time Machine

  Hello world

  I use an iMac 27-inch mid-2010 and have a WD1230 external 2 TB disk attached to it. I partitioned the external hard drive to allocate 1 TB as a Time Machine backup repository and the other 1 to to put in music, movies and images files to save space on my system aging 1 TB drive.

  Good thing I put up this way because one day my system comes to refuse to start. I went in the mode utility and used the Time Machine restore feature to help me get back on my feet. After a restoration of 18 hours, the system is now purrs with all files and settings affected. Bravo for the process of Time Machine!

  However, this is the number I noticed during the restoration, formatted system partition on my external drive labeled "STORAGE" which contained my music and movies. I know that the files are there but I need to know how to access these files again as the STORAGE drive is so more appear in the Finder. I did a scan Disk Utility on the hard drive external with no luck either. Can anyone who has gone through this similar situation help out me? Thank you very much in advance!

  Restore using Time Machine to copy a game on the disc that you point to backup. It performs no operations on any drive or partition other than the one to which it is to copy the files. If Time Machine, neither utility restore formatted or partitioned external hard drive (unless it is more what you're saying.)

  It may be possible to recover lost files from this drive using a disk utility such as restore data of Prosoft. As a former tech, it's my go to software. There is no guarantee that it will work. Dril drivel is another recovery program people I know recommend but I never used it.

• 2012 MacBook Pro VERY slow after restoring from time machine

  Recently, I upgraded my hard drive on a seagate drive. I went from 500 GB to 1 TB. The installation went well. Later, I followed the steps to set up the hard drive:

  1. start the computer by using the R command

  2. open disk utility

  3. formatting the new hard disk by the computer specifications

  4 closed disk utility

  Then I restored from a time machine to the top. It took about 3 hours I had about 350 GB of data to restore. Since that time, my computer is moving very slowly! For example, the start-up takes at least 15 minutes for loading applications. Between the tabs in Chrome takes about 45 seconds to a minute. Loading a new web page takes about 3 minutes or more. Open an application like Evernote can take 5-8 minutes. Same shutdown takes about 10 minutes.

  In a previous forum, someone suggested to take a look at errors in the console. I have no idea what it means. Can someone help me figure out what this topic?

  Here is example of them below:

• 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:

• Cannot find files on clone super duper, I can restore from Time Machine backup?

  First of all, my apologies for cross posting.

  I hope I can explain my situation with enough clarity so that someone can help out me. I feel a little bit of panic.

  I've had a Mac mini that I sold so need to wipe. I first backed up using Time Machine on an external hard drive. Then, I used Super Duper to clone on a second hard drive. I didn't need a bootable copy of the training, but need access to data, applications, etc. on it from time to time. My intension was to access the data I cloned and stored on the hard drive of my current Macbook Pro. Well, that day came and I went to access my cloned copy of the mini and only see a list of users. I'm not able to find files, documents, and etc.even if I use spotlight to search for. So my questions are:

  1. Can I view the contents of the double machine differently to see more than a list of users? (that is WHERE IS MY THING?)
     1. I have error somehow in my approach?
     2. If I made the mistake with the super duper close, can I restore my time machine to the top of an external drive on another external drive? I want to restore my MacBook hard drive.

  Thank you!!

  I was running just an another SuperDuper! Clone.
