Restore the sparsebundle timemachine on virtualbox

Hello!

First of all, sorry for my bad English, I'm from the France... ;-)

I'm on mac pro early 2009. I got another mac in the past. I've tried for a few days to convert this old mac timemachine sparsebundle vdi.

This sparsebundle is password protect, but I remember :-)!

The sparsebundle is located on my synology NAS (outside the record of timemachine used now)

My old mac was a mini in Mavericks.

Then I started the installation on VirtualBox with hope Mavericks my sparsebundle will be discovered by restore from time machine (at the beginning of the installation process).

I first converted my dmg sparsebundle and attach this sata drive dmg but this sata drive is not found (by time machine or utility disks restore utility).

Then, I convert this dmg/DVI: same result (no = no results!).

I decided to finish the installation of the Mavericks, just to try and do not stay on a failure.

In this way, when Mavericks was fully usable, I discovered that my vdi file has been unreadabled... (Mavericks offered to initialize it).

My second try was a method I used on real mac successfully... but not here :-(

In my VM fully operational Maverick, I created a new great drive hard virtual vdi. I mounted my sparsebundled and I copied files and folders located in the folder "Last" of the sparsebundled at the root of the virtual hard disk. I have shut down the virtual machine, put the new virtual hard disk as disk drive only sata hard and load the installer dmg Maverick perspective.

I started the virtual machine (the disk hard not bootabled at the moment) and start the installation process on the hard disk of vdi. The actual computer, I have had success with this methob, but here, towards the end of the process of this fail with an error message ("please contact the software publisher").

I'm lost now and I have no more ideas! Maybe I failed in my approach to the first method (why my vdi is not readabled?). I'd rather ask for help here before trying another action beacause my sparsebundle is 40 GB and all try to take some time.

Thanks to people who can help me!

  • Restore the database on the two houses of Oracle

    Hi all

    Oracle 9iR2

    OEL 5

    I have our database of PROD rman backup, the SID is also named PROD.

    I want to restore it to a different server, but I want two database restored the same SID on the same server.

    For example, I create OracleHome1/u01/app/oracle and OracleHome2 another/u02/app/Oracle.

    Then I'll bring backup rman for each House, create two identical databases. Is this possible?

    Thank you very much

    No, 32-bit guest OS cannot use hardware virtualization assisted using a type 2 hypervisor. VirtualBox is an application and type 2 hypervisor. What you need is the Oracle VM x 86 Server, which is a type 1 hypervisor where you can run a 32-bit guest with the support of paravirtualized system.

    The following will give you a good overview: paravirtualization (PV) - Xen

  • How to restore the calculator application to drag it to the top of the screen to control

    Can how I restore the calculator to drag it to the top of the screen to control center? It seems to have been removed from the bottom row? Thank you

    Are - what you got to remove the calculator of your applications on the phone? You can find the calculator on the phone itself? If you find it, then try a reset. Hold down the home and sleep/wake together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will restart. There are no settings to change what appears on the display. See if the reset solves your problem.

    EDIT: what exactly you see in the Control Center? If you see only controls the music, then drag to the right to see the rest of the access to the control center.

  • Many problems, try to restore the Iphone 7 - help!

    I'll try to make a long story short:

    I backed up my iPhone 6. It was a 128 GB, which took some time.

    I have connected my iphone 7 (also a 128 GB) to iTunes. I got an error message that says something to not received data from the device. After a google search, I decided that I had to put my phone into recovery mode to restore the backup of the iphone 6. I did it. Then I got an another error message that says that I should update my iTunes. Updated my iTunes on my computer, I rebooted my computer and tried again. This time, he acted like it was going to work. My computer went through the lengthy process of installing the software and my new iphone restore 7. At the end of the restoration, I got a different error message saying that it was impossible to complete the restore.

    Now my iphone 7 is stuck in this mode where everything he says is "data recovery cannot take place. "Restore to your iPhone, please backup." He won't do anything else. When I connect it to iTunes, it says "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because it is locked with a password. You must enter the password on the iPhone before it can be used with iTunes. "However, when I push my iphone home button 7, enter the password and then check the password, I will just go back to the screen that says"data recovery cannot be completed... ". "and the error message remains on my iTunes.

    I tried several times to get the iphone 7 in recovery mode, but I can't. I hold down the sleep and lower volume button, the Apple appears, I keep pressing the buttons, the Apple disappears, Apple appears again, I'm all in now the buttons, the Apple disappears and then nothing happens.

    I got a phone call from Apple in the AM, but I'm really frustrated that I was stuck with a device $ 700 that I can't do ANYTHING with all day. No indication at all is appreciated.

    Same old IPhone backup issues that have been around for years. This will be my last IPhone if I eventually return. My iPhone cannot be saved to icloud for some reason any and my iPhone 7 will not restore from iTunes backup. What a joke after so many years. ITunes has got to be the worst application ever created.

  • How to restore the Notes

    I recently started to use my writing notes and jotting down ideas, but last night I was not sure if my notes would be shared with my Mac friends since I have not got one for me and his had used for synchronization and sharing of music. I decided to disable iCloud notes with a warning noting that "all the iCloud notes would be deleted, you'd like ongoing?", I read it with a change of mindset, thought I pressed 'Cancel', but instead he deleted notes. I am very sure that I didn't quite save my iphone. Is it possible to restore the notes at all?

    iCloud only synchronizes the data (Notes) using your Apple ID only.

    If you deselect the Notes option in System Preferences > note, used to synchronize your Notes on YOUR devices.

  • can application not available I restore the data from an encrypted backup?

    I had to get my iPhone repaired, so I did a full backup to iTunes and reset Once it was fixed, I have restored the backup, but a few apps "could not be restored. In the case of the one that interests me, the app no longer seems to exist on the App Store - I found a link for it from a review of old, but the link is dead: the app no longer exists. Since it is an application that stores data on the heights of our children, and I had used it for a few years, I would like to be able to recover at least the RAW files of my support, even if the app no longer exists. It is not a large amount of data. The backup is encrypted, so none of the files have names that are meaningful, it is impossible to guess what file is associated with that particular application. Any suggestions?

    If you have the app in the iTunes library on your computer you can restore it from there.

  • Cannot restore the resolution of the laptop

    I have an old 15 "Macbook Pro mid-2010. I still mostly run for daily work snow leopard.

    I have hooked to an external monitor and experience the resolution on the external display. I used an external display several times before, but without twisting his resolution.

    In the past whenever I have disconnected externally internal display by default my good laptop back to its native resolution, which seems to be of 1280 x 1024.

    But since my experimentation with a resolution from the outside, it is no longer the case. Resolution "reads" 1280 x 1024 in System Preferences, but the screen is severely "letter-put in a box" with large black bars on each side, no amount of clicking on the various resolutions and return to 1280 x 1024 don't restore correctly display without black bans.

    I tried to zap the PRAM, thinking that that would restore the screen settings internal. But it does not work. Any ideas?

    Try a SMC reset. Article covers when necessary, but this will not affect anything.

  • I can't restore the pre-FF34, same subject through search bar: config does not help.

    Today, my search bar came to randomly search bar 'new' post-FF34. Despite repeatedly activating / deactivating the browser.search.showoneoffbuttons in all: config, then by restarting the browser to a dozen times, this topic stubbornly remains with the new search. Does anyone know how to do so that he can keep looking for old? Or download the about: config switches to work again?

    The underlying code for the browser.search.showOneOffbuttons has been removed since Firefox 43 - there is no way to return to the range of older research.
