• 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.

• I moved a folder of bookmarks in Safari on my desk to alphabetize it but could not move again. Now, Time Machine restores not Safari where I started. Restoration is grayed out and the office keeps - not editor of bookmarks. TM works well.

  I tried to move a subfolder of my bookmarks folder to alphabetize it moving it on my desk. It worked, but I couldn't get back in Safari. So I tried to restore the Time Machine Safari but it brought back my desktop and the button restore is gray. I am running Yosemite on one end of 2013 27-inch Mac. Time machine seems to work ok on other issues.

  You can only restore the entire file of bookmarks to a previous state. It is not possible to restore the individual bookmarks.

  Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select, then copy it to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination:

  ~/Library/Safari

  Quit Safari.

  Should open a folder window. Restore the file named "Bookmarks.plist" in this folder from a previous backup of the changes unwanted.

  If you don't have such a backup, but the Favorites are still present on an iOS (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) device that synchronizes with iCloud, then see below.

  Save your iOS devices. Turn off sync iCloud Safari on all devices except those. Quit Safari and delete the bookmarks on the Mac, and then enable synchronization Safari on it. Launch Safari. Bookmarks synchronization of your iOS device.

• Time Machine hangs on the Application file that I deleted

  Hello:

  I'm doing a new installation on my parents computer because Flash Player was completely broken somehow. I can't uninstall or update.

  This isn't my problem right away well. Their backup disk was on his last breath so that I had to get a new and Time Machine hangs first various office applications, which I excluded, now it's of iDVD. I tried that it excludes everything first, but Time Machine has always tried to save. Given that my parents don't use it and it is no longer supported then I thought to uninstall. I deleted the program and demand corresponding is support the file and did a search in the Finder for all of the remaining files. No, zip.

  However, Time machine is still backing up files which I can't find for the life of me. He would make iDVD themes 1, 2, 3, etc. I can't exclude in Time Machine because he's not here. I deleted the partial backups each time and it keeps immediately suspended 19,25 GB on iDVD.

  Please, Please help. I spent a ridiculous amount of time is already and should just get this done.

  I look forward to all points of view.

  Thank you

• Where are the time Machine connects to Sierra?

  Running Sierra on a late 2009 iMac. Time Machine works well and updated regularly. However the Time Machine buddy Widget shows all the information. Study using the Console indicates that the TM log entries are to be absent in Syslog. Nothing shows using the "backupd" as a filter on the system log. Under Diagnostics and usage data, I see information for the type of backup and "NOERROR" for completion.

  Does anyone know what has changed in the Sierra? Or is it my unit?

  Boyfriend of Time Machine does not work with Sierra

  Console is 'redesigned', extraction of newspapers can be difficult...

  But!

  You can copy the lines of command in Terminal to see the logs of Time Machine ("TM on the fly" and "History of TM")

  Since this discussion started I see how activity time Machine Console with macOS Sierra;

  By copying this command (from John Galt) line in the Terminal I can view TM-history-logs for a few days back;

  Newspaper show - predicate "subsystem =="com.apple.TimeMachine"'-info | grep ' upd: (' | cut-c - 1-19 140-999)

  This command line also gives information of a TM running 'on the fly', but after the TM copy I have to put in the line of command again TM start-up for a new copy (I can live with that...)

  By copying this command (from chockosmund) line in the Terminal I see what TM is ding on the fly, but did not get the newspaper story.

  the log stream - style syslog - predicate 'contains a [cd] 'Time Machine' senderImagePath' - info

  This command line is that Terminal shows constantly new TM-logs.

  Thank you John Galt and chuckosmund!

  I have a separate Terminal office-space computer were I can watch how TM is progressing.

  Hope that answers your question.

• Requests for import of Time Machine

  My 2011 running on 10.11.6 iMac died on me, could not return to start.

  Tried to save start, start of recovery and every method I can find on the Internet...

  Fortunately, I have time machine put in place so that all is not lost.

  My questions are:

  1. I have a MacBook Air, but it has not all the apps with my dead iMac. Is it possible to import selected my time machine in the MacBook AI applications? As CS6 Adobe and Microsoft office.

  2. what time machine backup all of my dead iMac? It's basically an exact clone of my machine?

  3. now that my iMac died, how can I clear everything before I have throw?

  Any help will be appreciated.

  Thank you!

  (1) some applications such as high-end you mention install things in every sense and really need to install using good installers.  Unless you need to retrieve all of the Time Machine backup, it is likely, that you miss some critical piece somewhere.

  (2) it is not a clone. There are tools that clone but Time Machine is not a.

  (3) it depends on what is dead and even if he's really dead. Say that it won't boot don't tell us a lot really.  If you really think it's over, you can always enough to erase the disk inside by connecting to a different computer starts. If it will not really same power so the only way to erase the disc is to remove it.  Apple offers recycling facilities, but I'm not clear on the security of their erasure of disks. No doubt they do, but then you agree with someone else.

• Time Machine backup migration wizard

  Hello

  I have a MBP (2012 model) running OSX 10.11.6. The hard drive has encountered an error that I couldn't get (invalid node structure). After spending the better part of a day of troubleshooting, I finally erased the drive and reinstall the OS from the OSX Internet Recovery Mode option. After that I reinstalled OSX version accompanying (Mavericks), I was going to transfer all my files from my USB external time Machine drive. I checked using the Migration Wizard, and I had the opportunity to transfer any of the player. Instead, I thought I'd be better to first upgrade to el capitan (it was on 10.11.6 when it stopped working) and install the programs I use (MS Office) before the transfer, so I went through this process. Now when I try to restore the files using Migration Assistant in el Capitan, he can't seem to find the USB Time Machine backup drive - it retains just turn on "the search for Source...". "on the transfer to this Mac screen information. If I leave the Migration Wizard, the USB key is accessible in the Finder. Don't know what to do at this point, but I really need these files (years of family photos are my biggest concern about losing).

  Thank you

  Mike Camden

  OK - I've solved it. For some reason, it wouldn't find the backup disk, Time Machine in the Migration Wizard, when I plugged directly on the port of USB of MBP (although he appeared and is accessible from the Finder); However, on a whim, I plugged into the USB port on my Airport Extreme, connected my MBP to it as a shared resource on the network and is running Migration Wizard again. Migration assistant immediately found and was able to make the Time Machine restore - it took much longer overall than network he would like a USB drive, but I let it run all night, and everything was finished this morning.

• Where my iBook is stored on the time machine

  Hello

  I recently had to install a new copy of OS X El Capitan on my iMac 27 "Office 2010 and I'm unable to locate the file extension which had more than 100 books.  Most of my books were conversions when I went to kindle for iPad and I lose nothing I'd already bought but I cannot locate the library of my iBook anywhere in one of the back-ups in my time machine and I'm worried that I could have lost all.

  I tried to go to GO to the FINDER and now OPTION while clicking on LIBRARY, CONTAINERS , ETC. , but could ' t find my books.

  Hoping that I'm looking in the wrong place. Any advice would be most useful.

  Hello bkings001,

  Thank you for being part of the community of Apple!

  If I understand correctly, you are unable to locate your iBook files after the installation of El Capitan.  I am a big reader and would not lose these files.

  So you're on the right track.  El Capitan stores files in ~ / Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBooks/Books.  You should be able to restore these from your Time Machine backup using the usual method.  If you need a refresher on how to restore using Time Machine, check here:

• Slow down or frozen system when you run Time Machine

  My entire system has been slow and I'm getting a lot of beach balls and frozen software/accidents of spinning. It is also slow to wake up and sometimes freezes when I try to log on my user account. I tried a number of things - routine maintenance, looking at activity monitor to see what is using RAM, reinstall MS Office, upgrade to El Capitan and two trips to the Genius Bar-(who showed none of the software or obvious hardware problems). Sort of, I noticed that when I run backup TM, the machine seems to be the slowest. I bought a new backup disk - thinking it was my external HD itself which was not (it is several years old) - but this does not appear to have solved the problem. And the machine ran faster in the Apple Store at home (of course) when my outside was not plugged.

  Anyone seen this before? Is it possible to 'clean up' Time Machine in case that is what is at the root of the problem?

  The genius of Apple suggested that he could be something corrupted in my user account and not related to TM, but not to delete my account, he had no any solution!

  Thank you

  Please post a report etrecehck in this thread for further analysis.

  your signature is misleading, you can not have 10.11.5 on an iMac G5 or G4 laptop computer, however if you did this would be the problem.

• Cannot remove old Time Capsule for time Machine destinations

  My MacBook Pro moves with me between my home office and the different clients that I visit. At home, Time Machine backs up a volume of Time Machine on my Xserve served to the network by OS X Server. I guess that for the Mac it looks like a Time Capsule, although in my case, it's a RAID 5 with 12 TB of capacity.

  The problem, when I connect to one network other than my home network. As you can see, the window from system preferences Time Machine offer 'Time Machine backup on 'Dominik AirPort Extreme' network', which is not actually present on any network. When I go home, Time Machine continues to try to save this destination does not exist and does not back up the volume on my Xserve. I have to manually switch for my Mac starting the backup on the Xserve again.

  

  How can I make my Mac forget this volume forever? A couple of system reinstalls, to the end that I use the Migration Wizard to copy the configuration of the system from a backup, have not helped.

  On the computer of my wife as a backup destination appears, the good pair:

  

  This simple procedure will erase your settings of the time Machine, including the list of excluded items. The backups themselves will not be affected. If you have a long exclusion list that cannot be easily re-created, you may prefer a procedure more complicated that maintains the list. In this case, ask for instructions. If not, see below.

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

  Right-click or Ctrl-click on the highlighted line and select

  Restart the computer and re-create your settings in the Time Machine preferences window. Falsely, it will show that you have no backups. Don't worry; your backups have not been affected.

  Perform a backup to test. The backup can take much longer than usual. If TM now works as expected, delete the file that you copied to the desktop.

• How to recover a specific photo in photo with Time Machine library

  Hello

  I've always been very careful with my backups and I use Time Machine since I work on a Mac.

  I was wondering how I can retrieve a specific photo I would have deleted it by mistake a few months ago?

  I use Mac Photo enforcement.

  It seems that the only way to recover the entire library, but if I use this file recovered, I wouldn't have the new photo imported after that the backup was performed.

  How to pick up only the photo that I need?

  Thank you

  Roland

  You can not.  Restore the library on the desktop, open it with Photos, locate the pictures you need to restore, export to desktop, open your library of work, import photos and, finally, to remove the library restored to office.

  Tell Apple what missing features you want restored or new features added in Photos via https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html.
