• El Capitan upgrade crash & loss of backup Time Machine

  I have a 2008 MBP running Yosemite and back up to a Time Capsule. Last week, I noticed weird problems with connectivity and slow performance. Last week, I started receiving messages that the Time Machine backup failed.

  I decided to upgrade to El Capitan in the hope to solve weird problems I saw. I checked in the application Time Machine that my last backup was March 28, so I proceeded with the upgrade.

  The upgrade of the El Capitan crashed and I got an error report. I tried several of the fixes available online (hold Shift and start in safe mode to complete installation, command-R and reloading the OS X). Nothing has worked.

  I finally decided to go back to my backup TM start over and try again. I held command-R and got in the start menu. I chose to restore from a backup Time Machine, which has been connected to my TM. However, my TM shows that my latest backup is 28 July 2015. It is a huge problem...

  How is it, I was warned never between July and March that backups are not working?

  Why TM would show that I had a valid backup on 28 March, when its not available in the restoration of the process?

  I am at a loss. I am trying to restart in safe mode to see if my files are still on my local HD, but who is locked up.

  Can you please advise what to do? Thank you.

  Time Machine is less reliable.

  I advise the people now to create a clone of their computer startup drive bootable using an application like Carbon Copy Cloner... immensely more reliable than TM.

  Which of course is useless for you now.

  My advice is to put the current hard drive of the computer replaced. It is likely that the installation failed (and your previous operating system was in place) because of the disk hard defective... they are cheap and readers are now extremely better than 2008 if the laptop is on the original drive.

  Clean, install the OS on the new drive, then connect the old hard drive to the computer using a sata cable USB... drive bracket / speaker.

  Then you're going to see how good or bad it is... and I hope that you can import (use the migration assistant) and get all of your files.

• Partial access to the backup time machine

  Hello

  I tried to upgrade Yosemite to El Capitan, but failed. If the local bank staff did a clean install for me. Prior to this, internal hard drive for my Mac has been saved using Time Machine, on an encrypted external hard drive. However, Time Machine is unable to restore a back ups (shows the chronology of the previous backups, but the restore button is gray).

  However, backups are visible in the structure of the external hd directories. However, only some, not all directories are available. For example, I was able to copy Documents mailed to the internal hd hd, but Google Drive are not available. More detail in the attachments.

  My question is: How can I solve the problem just described and, in particular, to obtain access to directories that are blocked so far on the external hard drive?

  

  

  Indeed, you have a 'new' Mac... from the hard drive of your Mac "old" has been erased and a new operating system has been installed.

  Time Machine will allow you only to restore a backup, if you look at your current Mac made backups. Since you have a 'new' Mac... (who did not backup, Time Machine is concerned)... you can not use Time Machine to restore the data.

  Instead, use the Migration Wizard on your Mac.  It is located Finder > Applications > utilities > Migration Wizard

  

  Things could be a lot easier, however, if you take the Mac and your hard drive... with Time Machine backups... back to the Apple Store and let the 'genius' accomplish the task it should have done before.

  In fact, when you first turned on the new 'Mac', installation wizard should have appeared and ask you if you want to restore from Time Machine backups.  That would be the best way, and easier to make your 'new' look Mac as your 'old' Mac but fortunately Migration Assistant can perform a similar function.

• Moving backups Time Machine - the operation cannot take place because the backup item is not editable

  I want to change the external hard drive that I use for my time machine backups. I went through the steps listed here:

  Time Machine: How to transfer backups from a current backup disk to a new backup drive - Apple Support

  It seems to work correctly. I shot TM back and adding the new drive. TM is now backing up files on the drive up, but there is a problem.

  For some reason, TM has begun to put backups "freely" for lack of better in the external hard drive, and not in the backups.backupdb folder for a week, then returned to save them in the backups.backupdb > ComputerName > files from backups. So in other words, when you click on the hard drive in the finder, it opens the player and you see a folder named Backups.backupdb and then a bunch of mixed in which files are backups time machine named 2016-01-24-XXXXXX, etc.. When you go to the folder Backups.backupdb, there's a more random "loose" time machine backup file 2016-01-23-XXXXXX, and then another folder with the name of computers and in the folder are all TM backups except loose ones I mentioned earlier.

  It seems that TM is working properly now, but I don't know why he put the files from the first days outside the backup folder. However, when I do drag, I get the error:

  The operation cannot be completed because backup items is not editable

  I want to just put all the files in the right folder so that I can A) keep my disk organized and (B) ensure what TM can find everything correctly should I have to go back.

  No idea what is happening and how to fix it?

  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."

• 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.

• To access the backups Time Machine another computer

  I have spent a good hour looking for a solution to this problem, but have developed empty-handed.

  If I understand correctly, backups of access from another Mac time Machine, I need to connect the backup drive to another Mac and select "Browse Other Time Machine disks... "in the Time Machine dock menu and choose the drive.

  The backup drive appeared as expected and I clicked on "Use selected Disk" to enter the time Machine.

  At this point, the computer between what seems to be Time machine, but shows a Finder window to the hard disk of the computer rather than the backup drive and shows not all dates before "today (now)."

  A thread has suggested that I open a Finder window and select 'Computer' in the menu to reach before the opening of time Machine. It did not work.

  Another thread has suggested that I have use the Migration Wizard rather to recover files and folders, I need. This is not ideal, but I tried it anyway, the result being that the Migration Wizard app remained "Looking for source...". "without finding the backup drive.

  Before formatting my drive on the original Mac, I had checked for if ensure that I could access the Time Machine backup while it was plugged into the backup drive (which he successful well).

  I use the latest version of El Capitan 10.11.6 on a MacBook Air (mid 2011). Backup is a MacBook Pro (mid-2010) who ran as El Capitan.

  I would appreciate any other suggestions!

  So, I discovered the solution, which has been in a simpler way that I expected. Before opening, Time Machine, it is necessary to find the sparsebundle Disk Image in the backup disk in the Finder and open it with "DiskImageMounter." Then, you must select "Computer" in the Finder menu reach before choosing the option "Browse Other Time Machine disks... "menu to the dock of time Machine. The first finder window it shows in the Time Machine view still belongs to the computer, but now it shows the previous backups, who are all from the backup drive!

• Backup Time Machine put on for the question of the judgment

  I use time machine - mac pro to 2008 - 1 TB drive with its own power supply - 500 GB of backups.

  Have had a few teething problems that don't seem to point to any problem-

  Before stopping - if I just saved all the files - I always ask a time machine backup.

  If I was just on the internet - I'm just asking for a backup...

  Anyway I've asked immediately rather than wait a minute--but with problems at startup - decided to wait for the minute - about 15 seconds in the time-out has heard that the drive reports the time machine was starting a backup, so I canceled the stop & waited until the backup is complete.

  So the question is if a time machine backup was cut by a stop - is there a point where it would cause problems with the next on power.

  (I noticed that on a power which had a problem - time Annex machine backup was for the same time that commissioning - and I had stop watch at the same time I started up the next day)

  Issues of time machine were related to my problems with Finder/Spotlight.

  I put the drive time machine in the private domain of Spotlight.

  A ran a disk check - no problem

  Went into the preferences of time machine and instead of just turn on--changed the drive -.

  time machine turned on

  forced a return to the top

  Entered time machine - deleted the backups of an IPHOTO library which had damaged (had deleted from the hard drive)

• Opening iPhoto library from a backup Time Machine in pictures

  I'm trying to make sure I have backups of all the photos of my old iPhotos library (something that I can open the individual files in the Finder, not just a copy of "iPhoto" Library). I turned on my old iMac that is not used much more to make copies, and when I open 'Photos' my iPhoto library is not linked. When I hold "option" at the opening of the Photos app, I see these options:

  

  I think I'm trying to access the old iPhoto library, so I click on it, but then I see this message:

  

  I tried to go to disk utility to repair permissions, but the problem persists. My next thought was to open an old Time Machine backup and try and open the backup iPhoto library, but when I do that, I see this screen:

  

  Any suggestions on how to access my old photos? What I am doing wrong?

  Thank you!

  Are these old libraries or backups Time Machine? TM backups cannot be opened directly, you must first use TM to restore the disk

  and where are these libraries? On the main drive or on an eternal drive? If on a DHM what format is and how is it connected?

• Duplication, but restoration not Photos of Time machine

  I have a large collection of Photos stored on my external HD that contains thousands of faces defined. Trying to solve a problem of random reboot on my new iMac, by Apple, I eliminated the files of faces in the Photos on this computer, but believe that the face IDS are intact on the external hard drive because it has not been used recently for TM backups. The last time that he saved, he supported Photos that still had the names linked to the faces. Before I take the Time Machine, I want to copy the Photos, including the names of face, of a flash drive for safes (and possibly add that the names back into the Photos once that resolve us the problem of random restart). But I can only figure out how to 'restore' Photos of Time Machine. I don't want to restore the old file Photos, because the Faces can be the source of our problem of ransom-restart. Instead, I just want to download my last copy of TM's Photos, including the names, on a drive connected to the iMac. Can someone tell me how to download the most recent file of Photos of my external hard drive to a flash drive without updating the files of Photos now running on the iMac? Thanks for the tips!

  You can not copy pieces of backups TM TM don't just clone files but save changes and maintains a database showing how to reassemble the file from a specified date - you can use the software TM to restore the things - you can restore to an alternate location and then select the restored library - however It is not recommended to make changes to the content of the photo library using external software because the library is a very complex SQLite database and any change can corrupt him causing loss of data

• Backups Time Machine missing after model clean install

  For a Mac using Time Machine to back up, is there a way to clean install OS X for a new internal SSD and keeps backups Time Machine historical which have been made using the previous internal SSD?  While as I use it to back up the new internal SSD TM, TM will show the backup history of both the previous internal SSD and the new (up to the capacity of the disc from the TimeCapsule).

  MacBookPro8, 2 I used Time Machine on a time Capsule TB 3 towards the rear for 2 years. No problems and shows 2.24 available 3 TB.

  Last night I did a clean model 10.11.5 install a new SSD, and a transfer application, the user accounts Migration Wizard, etc. Since the previous flash SSD disk internal (format / installed the new SSD, attached to the internal SSD previous via USB flash disk, then started in Recovery Mode to clean the installation model to the new internal SSD and when prompted did the previous internal SSD Migration Assistant).

  Everything no problem above went very well. But now when I "TimeMachine enter", I see that the most recent backup made (before the clean install).  The right navigation (which goes in reverse chronological order of the lower part of the screen to the top) seems to show the date on which the previous backups have been identified.  But if I click on a date, TM Finder main window does not scroll from that date. The top / arrow down buttons to the right of the main window of Finder TM also do not respond to clicks.

  So far as I can tell, I've lost all TM backups except the most recent. I have all saved data elsewhere outside time Capsule, so between that and the 1 backup, I can see in TM I have not lost anything.

  If I had done the Migration Wizard from the TimeCapsule rather than the previous internal SSD flash drive, would that have kept all historical TM backups?

  Thanks for any idea

  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.

  If you need to restore from a backup of the hidden user library folder, first select a snapshot, and then press shift-command-G. A go to the folder dialog box opens. In this document, you enter the path to the folder. The dialog box will help you by automatically filling parts of the path when you start typing.

  The path starts with the slash character ("/"). Enter that. The rest of the parts is separated by slashes.

  The next part is the date and time of the current snapshot. Enter a '2', and the rest of the date should be filled in automatically. Press the right arrow key to access the end of the path. Enter a slash to start the next game.

  Next is the volume name (usually "Macintosh HD" unless you assigned a different name.) Start typing, then jump to the end and enter a slash.

  The next part is 'Users', followed by a slash.

  Then is your short user name. It is also the name of your home folder, which is represented by an icon of the House in the sidebar of a Finder window.

  Finally, enter "Library", and then press return. You should now be in the library folder. From there, you can move like in the Finder. You can also select another snapshot of the same folder.

• Restore Safari bookmarks without time-Machine?

  Hello, all the

  Out of nowhere, one of my main folders Safari bookmarks disappeared. I'm a fairly knowledgeable Mac user and have no idea how they were deleted.

  I do usually external manual backups readers when I did some import an audio works and not very often otherwise (if I don't have a backup from a few months ago) but I added several important bookmarks since it went past 'poof '. It is also a way of saying that I have never set up Time Machine.

  So, how can I restore my bookmark.plist over current (tonight) without Time Machine. I know that Firefox - when I used to use it - kept many old .plists and you could scroll just to find later. It seems that Safari would keep much as well even without Time Machine configuration. At least I hope so.

  Thank you

  MacBook Pro 10.8.5

  Safari 6.2.8

  Is the .plist bookmark empty or missing?

  If lack then a drive recovery application can be able of recovering them.

  If it is empty while you are out of luck

• The problem of migration of Time Machine. Help!

  Dear Group,

  I have a situation that requires advice.

  Try to restore my iPhoto library (119GB) backup Time Machine from an old macbook that crashed.

  But my new macbook is only 150 GB, has no space and too costly to extend storage.

  I tried to copy the library directly from the backup files, but that doesn't seem to work with some 50% missing/illegible photos.

  I bought an external hard drive (1 TB) and I was wondering if anyone knows how can I move the iPhoto (119GB) library in the external hard drive?

  Apple migration assistant only allows me to migrate on the new macbook that is too small to contain pictures.

  I hope to migrate in the external hard drive and access my library of this player in the future.

  All tips are very much appreciated!

  Is that iPhoto iPhoto or iPhoto Photos?  https://www.Apple.com/support/Mac-apps/photos/

• Loading iTunes library of old, defunct macbook to new macbook using backups Time Machine

  Hello. How can I get iTunes library from my old Macbook loaded on my new Macbook using the backup Time Machine that exists from the old machine. The new mac is connected to the time machine, I can open Time machine, see the backups, but get nowhere when you attempt to load the library in iTunes on my new Macbook. I see the file .itl from the old machine to backups... where can I go from here?

  The iTunes library on the new machine is empty, so save is not a matter of concern.

• Backup Time Machine "Curriculum vitae".

  Hello

  I recently updated my iMac hard drive. I used the migration to OS X feature (which rocks, by the way) to migrate data from the old hard drive to the new hard drive.

  I use Time Machine for backups. Can I safely reconnect the external target for my time machine previous backups and keep adding "restore points" for backups? Or, should I just start over and delete this external drive?

  Thank you

  Mike

  You can use the same backup.

• How can I change the network address of my Time Machine drive?

  Hi people,

  This is my second question in 12 hours. Thanks to help I received here, I abandoned my doomed attempt to use my old AirPort Extreme and a USB key for Time Machine backups.

  I've used my ReadyNAS for Time Machine backups, but it has never been reliable. I think I have tracked the question and I would like to try again. However, Time Machine remembers the old network address for the ReadyNAS unit (smb://NAS_TimeMachine.local/ReadyNAS) and does not 'see' the same unit at current address (afp://[email protected]/NASTimeMachine). You could collect that networking is not something I understand.

  I think that this can be also responsible for the boring 'There was a problem... "messages that I receive at startup telling me the drive could not be mounted.

  Is there a way to force the time Machine to forget the old address and 'see' a new?

  See you soon,.

  Grant

  (PS I have also posted this question on the legacy of networking community, but I think it's a better place for this)
