Search application restore in Time Machine is empty

I was looking for in Time Machine to restore an earlier version of Pages, but when I opened the time Machine in the Applications section is empty. Other files (Documents, downloads) watch the content, but only applications have nothing to show. What is problem?

Thank you

Two possibilities:

(1) requests have been excluded from Time Machine backups. Check Time Machine preferences / Options to ensure that Applications are not on the list of excluded items of backups.

(2) Time Machine is defective. The operating system will need to be reinstalled, since Time Machine is a part of Mac OS X.

  • 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.

  • Photos say too old version after restoring from Time Machine

    I tried to update my wife 5 c's iPhone but iTunes (version 12.4.3.1) kept saying unknown error (-50). I read that a possible problem might be something on an xml file in the pictures with a conflict or missing. I thought that this might be a good time to try my first restore with Time Machine. I thought I would restore Photos only a few hours of this day. While I was doing that in the middle of the restore, Time Machine was trying to make it's hourly backup and I got an exclamation point saying that he was unable to save. After the backup is complete, I tried to open the pictures and it says "library old Version, please update your library 'Photos' using iPhoto free library upgrade available at Apple. So I downloaded the file .dmg and still nothing. I don't want even if an earlier version of Photos, I want to what I had and I thought of making a time Machine would be restore was supposed to get back to how I had it. My Time Machine works again but the new backup, he's trying to back up my photo library. I know because I recognize the size of the backups as being the same size as my library of Photos. I went about this Mac and checked the storage. He showed my disk as empty and my regular hard drive on my Macbook Pro (retina 13 "- beginning 2015") showed use of backup almost exactly the same size as my library of Photos. A few moments later my external drive shows correct usage, but big backup on my regular HD space always shows the same backup use suggesting that it stores my library as a backup, or at least that's my guess. One thing that I tried was the Option key pressed when opening pictures to try to select another library that I have an old migrated iPhotos library in my folder of photos I thought that maybe Photos was trying to open. As a side question I was wondering if I could remove the migrated iPhotos library as whenever I click on it, more or less said that he has already been migrated, he discovers in a compatible version of Photos. I hope that I have given all the good news. If I'm missing something I apologize. I'm under El Captain 10.11.6

    What did restore exactly the time Machine? You write "Restore Photos", indicating you restored the Photos app, but the error messages seem to apply to the photo library.  You have restored a library of old Photos?  If you restored the photo library, try to open it directly by double clicking it or dragging it to the Photos icon in the Dock.

  • Requests that are lost during the restoration of time machine

    For example, recently my laptop (MacBookPro7, 1.) Intel Core 2 Duo. 2.4 GHz. memory to 6 GB) came up with a message saying to upgrade to el capitan, and after some research to see if my computer were compatible (OS X 10.6.8) I've updated. However, I found that many things had changed in ways that I didn't like as well as my laptop is slow. So I watched it come back back and followed the instructions of restoration (command-R, choose the time machine backup, etc.). Unfortunately since doing so, I lost many of my applications provided with the computer, and I can not find them even in the applications folder (Calculator, preferences system, overview and a few others), I have also noticed that when I try to access the time machine preferences or system preferences they come in the form of files called content and there is no way to access it.

    If anyone knows how I can find my apps or even be able to access the settings, it would be much appreciated. I'm too scared to try redownload things where it makes things worse. However, I tried to go back and restore from time machine once again, but after having tried several times in vain to get to the right section again once I gave up.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Safari on Mac not save history after restoring from Time Machine

    After doing a full restore on my Macbook Air of Time Machine, Safari is not displayed no browsing history, or he saves history after that I left Safari. I've restored the history file of Time Machine, but it does not, either. I'm not in private browsing mode. I also tried to erase the history, but it does not help.

    Any ideas?

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It makes no changes to your data.

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

    ls -@BOaen L*/Safari | pbcopy

    Copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination.

    Launch the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

    ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

    Paste in the Terminal window by pressing the command-V key combination. I tested these instructions only with the Safari browser. If you use another browser, you may need to press the return key after pasting.

    Wait for a new line ending with a dollar sign ($) below what you entered.

    The output of the command will be automatically copied to the Clipboard. If the command produces no output, the Clipboard is empty. Paste into a reply to this message.

    The Terminal window does not display the output. Please do not copy from there.

  • 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:

  • Mailing address: restore from time machine sent messages

    Recently, I changed my work for a long time to POP IMAP email account.  While I made sure that I have archived all incoming messages, I didn't "Sent" messages would be affected.  They seem to have disappeared.

    Everything must have been saved on Time Machine.  What is the best way to restore old items sent, so I can ideally their search for Mail?  Can I put them in a sent items folder, so I can get all my accounts at the same time?

    As I check iMap messages to extract the server, do I need to archive messages sent at the same time?  Or can I leave them in my combined "sent" folder.

    Thank you!

  • Partition the drive, then restore from Time Machine?

    An iMac that I just died. She used Time Machine as a backup to an external drive. I want to resurrect the content of the iMac on an existing MacBook Pro, I own. Does make sense to partition the hard drive in the MacBook Pro and then migrate all data on the hard drive partition? The MacBook Pro is on OS 10.11.1; the iMac ran an earlier version of El Capitan.

    Does make sense to partition the hard drive in the MacBook Pro...

    and then migrate all data on the hard drive partition?

    Not really.

    Mac OS X is basically a system of multiple users. If you do not create a user, it does not behave differently. Daily use with a user, it can give the illusion that you have the entire machine, but this isn't what is actually happening.

    Mac OS X keeps always files in home directory for each user completely separate from each of the other files of the user (if any) and which is separated from system directories.

    What would be much smarter is to carefully consider the names of affected users. If they are already different, simply migrate data iMac user a new account on the MacBook.

    There is no need to have another partition, another copy of an almost identical system or additional copies of applications - you need the data of the user and must use Time Machine to restore all this user account, and no more.

Maybe you are looking for
