• Restored HD from a Time Machine backup of my old iMac (stolen) from my new MacBook Pro.  Not all the files have been restored.

  My iMac 27 "(2011) so my wife 13 '' MacBook Pro (2011) were recently stolen after our House was robbed.  My wife got a new MacBook Pro and I restored it successfully its data (selected "backup restore Time Machine" during the installation of its new MacBook Pro).  However, I also got a new 15 "MacBook Pro in lieu of the iMac 27".  I have, once again, selected "Restore from Time Machine backup" (selected the iMac as the backup source) when installing my new MacBook Pro.  When it was finally over, I told Time Machine to inherit from the backup.  Unfortunately, none of the files in the My Documents folder or the photos in my photo library have been restored.  Was it a bad idea to try to use the backup of the iMac as a source for the MacBook Pro (both running El Capitan)?

  is it possible that your documents are stored on another drive which was not part of the backup plan? or is the HD in the big enough MBP to inherent the old backup.

  If you open the time machine with the original backup disc, you should be able to browse the content

  

  If the files are found, you can restore by right-clicking (or CTRL + left mouse)

• The merger with Time Machine backups

  I fear I know the answer to that, but would like confirmation.

  I am running Fusion 2.0.4 and have Mac OS 10.5.6.

  As part of support to replace a faulty card from the airport on my MBP, Apple did a new install of the OS and erased my disk. When I started the laptop I told it to restore from a Time Machine backup. He restored all the files under the My Documents folder, except for my virtual machines. He has even restored a text file I had in the 'Virtual Machines' folder, but not the virtual machines themselves. Looking back through the external drive for Time Machine, I don't see the virtual machines to any previous backup.

  I guess I'm watered at this point, although I'm hoping the actual VMs are located elsewhere, and under 'Virtual Machines' files are just links. Does anyone have an idea what I can try, or why the virtual machines are not saved?

  Thank you.

  Jeff

  If your virtual machines were in the "Virtual Machines" folder, where they are. Although it is possible to create a configuration where this isn't quite the case (for example, the link hard to another directory or volume), the simplest and explanation of the default value is that your virtual machines were either not stored (in this case I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news) or in the first place never were in this folder (you can check your drive to backup files/folders - virtual machines tend to be big so should stand out).

  As to why it is, Time Machine in the first versions of Leopard would cause a deadlock (and hang the Mac) in certain circumstances, one of them was a virtual machine. To work around this problem, Fusion told Time Machine to exclude virtual machines. Apple has fixed the bug of Time Machine and deleted merge the exclusion of Time Machine, but it is possible to get into situations where virtual machines are still excluded.

  In general, we do not recommend the use of Time Machine to back up virtual machines - the short version is that it will go quickly through space and that it still does not produce a viable backup. Instead, we recommend that you back up files in the comments (or their mirror to the host and let Time Machine pick them up there), or manually back up virtual machines when they are not running.

• Why finder hide Documents and office files in the home directory of the user by activating iCloud drive? What about the behavior of Time Machine backup or third-party applications?

  I'm under MacOS Sierra. I am connected to my iCloud account. I activated the option Desktop and Documents, but I did NOT activate the option optimize Mac storage, because I wanted to make sure that all my files would be available locally, just in case, I would need to work without an internet connection.

  -J' noticed there now a menu iCloud in my sidebar in the Finder, with links to Documents and desktop.

  -J' also noticed that Documents is no longer presented in my favorites in my side bar of the Finder.

  -This last suggests that files saved in 'Documents' are not saved more on my HD... but only in iCloud, which isn't what I want.

  -Then, sailing in the Finder Macintosh HD/users / 'My account' /, I noticed that my Documents and desktop folders are more visible, as if these files are not saved in my home folder most. Which raises the question: where are My Documents and files on my HD, so they are still?

  -Using a shell session in the terminal and again navigate to/Users / 'My account' /, I noticed that my Documents and desktop folders are still there. Which suggest that records and records of office reside actually still in my home folder under users, but Finder actually hide it and present them as being stored in iCloud only disc. It's very confusing.

  This raises several questions:

  -In the first place, why Apple hide Documents and office files in the directory? Why not view these folders in iCloud and directory?

  -Whence the iCloud folder or drive, reside actually on my hard drive?

  -What time Machine. Is it still back up my document files and folders?

  -What games third-party app mirroring backup of My Documents files and folders? They still work properly? (I use Livedrive backup and Sugarsync for files mirrored across several macs).

  -How can I understand that Apple is doing with my folders and files? Some users might be happy with the iCloud drive concept, without worrying about how it works, but I don't take chances, and I want to keep a good understanding about the functioning of my system.

  Could someone explain what is exactly happening?

  With office and selected Documents, access to these files are now in the iCloud Drive, not in your home folder.

  My guess would be that they do not appear in your file because it would be confusing for many people to make them in two places.

  If you want in the Favorites, open iCloud Drive and drag them in the sidebar here.

  All about iCloud drive has been saved on your Mac. With the exception of the office and the Documents, they are in ~/Library/Mobile Documents. However, if you choose optimized storage, older documents are removed from your Mac. I don't know what is "old".

  ~/Documents and ~/desktop have new metadata indicating probably Finder does not display them in a Finder window, only in iCloud drive. They are not hidden in one of the normal methods of unix.

  I have not tested Time Machine or any other backup program. The folder still exist in your directory home, and they still have all the files, I don't think that changes anything.

• Restoring iTunes only from Time Machine backup

  Hi all

  I just installed a new SSD on my iMac and the only thing I want to really restore is my iTunes library of music, playlists, movies, applications and device back ups.

  Is someone can you please tell me how I can restore only on the iTunes on the new SSD part?

  I was able to locate the iTunes folder manually in the time Machine up which is sitting on my Airport Time Capsule 2 TB.

  Would it be a matter of clicking and dragging the folder iTunes from the drive external hard Time Machine for the new SSD internal?

  Or would I need to use Migration Assistance or another method?

  Thank you very much

  If you have not changed anything, your iTunes library must be stored in the music folder, so it would be as simple as the copy of your iTunes library to your Time Capsule in the folder music of your SSD. In doing so, iTunes will detect your library the next time you open it and you will keep all your data on it.

  Another option would be to use the Migration Wizard, but keep in mind that the wizard can migrate the other files, as well as your old user account.

• How can I recover the mailbox of time machine operating system reinstallation

  I recently had a hard drive replaced on my MacBook Air to 2014.

  I backed up at Time machine on my external hard drive.

  After I reinstalled El Capitan, the only thing I could not recover from my time Machine was my

  Mailboxes.  I tried to import the mail > file > import, but couldn't do what I needed.

  Please let me know how.

  Thank you

  Go to Finder and select your user folder. With this Finder window as the windshield, select Finder/display/display options for presenting or order - J.  When the display options opens, check "show the library folder. This should make your visible user library folder in your user folder.  Select Library/Mail. Enter Time Machine.

• Formatting the HD and Time Machine backups

  My drive external hard Time Machine seems to be failing am so anxious to save my TM backups. I've already lost a few videos which was on a 40 GB partition, but backups on the 'main' score seem ok. In another thread, I discovered that the problem I have copy backups TM externally to another drive on an iMac is a problem because my MBP is formatted Mac OS X extended suburbs and the iMac is formatted Mac OS X extended (journaled).

  So, if I have reformatted the HD (journaled) MBP could reinstall Mt? or TM comes with original formatting?

  I think I have my answer. Looking through the guide of TM of Pondini I see that there is NO possibility of progress as I'd hoped.

  Since it is my laptop computer (MBPro) and information/data cannot be compromised, then it's time for a backup to disk somewhere image. It's just about 200GBs, then I'll have more information TM and hopefully again in the disk image.

  Once I have done disk image I'll reformat the hard disk, reinstall El Capitan and drag/levitate things of the image and/or the TM to backup and I hope have my machine back as is (but with good formatting).

  It is difficult for me to believe that 5TBs of storage here and there and it is not enough.

• How can I restore mac Time machine backup to most recent?

  So, I recently met several problems with my old mac. He started acting upward with the blinking folder and question mark more often. So I did multiple time machine backups and have since then tried to reinstall the OS and many other options, but it looks like my mac middle of 2007 has had its day. So I bought a new mac and tried to restore the back upward on the external hard drive. I get the message that his back is an older version and it cannot be restored and I should use from the other mac migration assistant.

  So the question is: If the first mac is burned and I can not restore settings etc of the time external hard disk machine, how to restore the whole upward? Can I transfer files only?

  Very much appreciated.

  g

  Hi Sir,

  You cannot restore data in time machine just like that. You use the data transfer assistant to recover your old records to your new Mac.

  The data that you used time machine made to your old mac are not available to your new mac. There is limitation of the system.

  Hope this could help you.

• restored my time machine backup mac - restarts not successfully

  After virus/malware unusable safari, I used my 'time machine' backups to restore my entire system (10.10.5).  I had the "restore msg."

  By design, it restarts.  I get the apple logo and progress indicator, but the bar spend about a third of the way and restarting stops there.  I tried

  reboot several times with the same results.  I then repeated the procedure for restoring above with a backup taken a week before and got the successful restore msg

  but had the same result with the reboot.  Don't know what to do next.

  Starts in recovery (command-R) Mode and choose the option Install OS X. Have it reinstall the OS without wiping the drive. Who should make the drive to be bootable again.

• How to transfer Time Machine backup to the new external hard drive

  I'm upgrading to a 1 hard external to the Western reader to with 5 TB of Seagate.  This is because Time Machine has used the 1 TB drive.  How can I transfer the files from backup Time Machine from the old to the new drive so that backups continue to have access to the old files.

  Although the documentation Apple says you can copy Time Machine backups in the Finder, it is very slow and sometimes does not.

  This technique works only if the volume that you copy to the same size or larger that that you are copying to.

  First of all, please open the Time Machine preference pane and click the Select Disk... button. You may be able to unlock the settings first, by clicking on the padlock icon in the lower left corner of the window. Log in as administrator.

  Remove the volume you want to copy in the list of backup destinations. Then turn off Time Machine.

  Launch disk utility, open the built-in Help and search for the term 'Double '. Follow the instructions. All existing data on the destination volume will be deleted. That shouldn't be a problem, because you do not want to mix non-sauvegarde and backup data on the same drive anyway.

  If the volume you are copying has been encrypted by Time Machine, you must first unlock it. Click the release button in the toolbar of the disk utility window.

  Turn Time Machine back on and select the new volume as a backup destination. Alternatively, you can continue to use the old volume, if you wish. Both will be alternated when both are available.

  ATTENTION: If you copy the volume is corrupted, as shown by the ERD or first aid in disk utility, while corruption is copied to the new drive. Do not copy data from a damaged on a faulty disk volume. Put aside the reader and do not use until you don't know that you no longer need the data. Then securely erase it and bring it to a recycling center. Do the same if the restore operation fails with "disk errors."

• Time Machine backup fails because "there is not enough space on the «DiskStation «»

  My backups regular TimeMachine to DiskStation stopped working a few months ago.  I thought it was because I ran out of space but now I installed an extra 1 TB RAID and I always get this error message.

  Here is the chronology of events that led to the error message.

  16/01/10 23:09 - Backup started manually (1.47 TB TB 2.45 available):

  

  16/01/10 23:11 - preparation of backup... (1.47 TB TB 2.45 available)

  16/01/10 23:15 - "backup: zero KB of 63.8 MB, calculating time remaining..." »

  16/01/10 23:22-2.1 MB saved 63.8 and the first estimate of the remaining time: 'about 4 hrs.

  

  16/01/10 23:50 - now 2.3 63.8 MB MB, 16 hours left (I'm ready for bed).

  16/01/10 23:55-5 minutes later and it backed up 419 MB!

  16/01/11 00:55 - an hour later and it is up to 6.72 GB but the gas target increased to 7.39 GB (I went to bed)

  16/01/11 06:50 - next day morning and it's up to 23,76 GB and the goal is now to 26.13 GB

  

  16/01/11 18:49 - I go home at night and it failed.

  

  

  

  Here is the view viewfinder of the TimeMachine file that I am trying to backup (note, a lot of disk space):

  

  This is the view of the Inspector of it:

  

  System details:

  -MacBook Pro 2013 with OS X 10.11.2

  -LAN WiFi Pace 2Wire998 router with DiskStation connected by Ethernet, MacBook Pro by WiFi

  -Synology DiskStation DS411slim with 4 x 2.5 "hard drives installed.

  A device third-party network attached storage (NAS) or a router is unsuitable for use with Time Machine, especially if it's your only backup. I know that's not what you want to hear. I know that Time Machine accepts the device as a backup destination. I know that the manufacturer says the device will work with Time Machine, and I also know that it usually seems to work. Except when you are trying to restore and find that you can't.

  Apple has published a specification for network devices that works with Time Machine. No third party provider, AFAIK, does meet this specification. They all use the application of Netatalk incomplete, obsolete Apple Filing Protocol.

  Apple does not endorse any device third-party network for use with Time Machine. See this support article.

  Network backup, use as destination an Apple Time Capsule or an external storage device connected to another Mac or a 802.11ac AirPort base station. Only 802.11ac base stations support time Machine, not older model.

  Otherwise, use Time Machine at all. There are other ways to save, although none of them are nowhere near as effective or as well integrated with OS X. I don't have a specific recommendation.

  If you are determined to continue to use the device with Time Machine, your only remedy for any resulting problem is the manufacturer (who will blame Apple, neither you nor anyone else but herself.)

• Corruption of the spotlight for a time Machine backup

  My time Maxhine back up not ended. I realized that I got and I canceled the back upward.

  I used my second disc for the back and finished. When I went about this Mac it was completely blue. I reindexed my hard drive. While the result is not perfect, it is now. And I saved since.  My concern now is:

  1. are my ups back corrupt and if so it ruins so any chance of

  2. a successful restore, time machine? Because it looks like my hard drive needs to replace.

  Thank you

  Try to use the Time Machine application to see if the backup is loading properly. If so, your backups should be good. You can also go into the Time Machine menu, while holding down the option/alt key and select verify backups. For more information of reset, see A4 & A5 in the first linked article.
