Time Machine: cannot find restored by email

• Weird Time Machine question after restoration

  Hi all

  First post here so go easy on me

  I'll try and make this as brief as possible.

  I've been running an iMac 27 "2010 end (still running Lion 10.7.5, but it is stable so I have not found the need to modernize) and NAS from Synology DS212j with TB 2 * 3 disks for the last 3 years. I've set up time service Machine through DSM on the Synology with a quota of 1 200 GB for my iMac which worked perfectly while all the time, during which I restored the weird file without problem.

  Recently, for a number of reasons, I felt the need to update the OS of El Capitan to provide specific features that only there, so I made sure that my last backup was not serious and went through the upgrade process. It took a while but seems fine, but in the end, I became artifacts of the screen during the exchange between the office computers and for the worse, completely locked Mail machine as soon as you have clicked on an email. A lot of research on Google and all the patches applied but no joy, I decided to restore Lion and watch a clean install of El Crappo thereafter.

  At through the process of full restoration without problem and he has restored from the DS212j without a single question (took about 14 hours but again, it worked) and my Mac was back as if nothing ever happened. Happy days!

  Shortly after that, although the problem started with Time Machine backups do not tell me that there is not enough space on the destination to save my machine...

  1. I look into my quota on the NAS (the bit you set to ensure that backups are not the entire disk) and it tells me that there are 820 used GB which I guess is my backups Time Machine original that nothing should have changed on the NAS.

  2. I don't seem to be able to see the Time Capsule shared queue Station disk even after display in shared folders, it should he appear?

  3. I unhid it and he could ride through cmd & k and using smb / / nom_lecteur/Time Capsule so I can now see the volume in the Finder.

  4. I can see there are 2 * sparsebundle files, one for my iMac and the other for Macbook Air my wife. The file for mine displays a last updated date/time of a few minutes ago, but no size of file. The woman shows well, last time/date and file size (he stayed very well throughout this btw).

  5. when I enter Time Machine on the iMac all my historical incremental backups have disappeared and the only backup who shows also available is the date to which I restored from, nothing before and obviously nothing after because there is no space.

  I have not a clue what going on here, but it seems to me like it after restoring my sparsebundle file (which is always on the NAS and must be intact) is there, but for some reason the iMac cannot see/index / register or see one of the backups that are contained in.

  Apple support tried to help but actually said that they don't support anything other than an official time Capsule and Synology must implement the Time Machine in a different way because he could not find the sparesebundle file, only the tf volume content when it is mounted by trying to start the backup.  From what I read and checked the forums of Synology and the sheets, they don't do anything outside the norm with regard to the Time Machine application, it's literally just a network volume that stores the sparesebundle in the same Apple so designed, then why on Earth after restoring my iMac do not see the content of this sparsebundle file , and why it consumes disk space?

  So, what I'm looking for help, is this (or questions):

  A. How do I look inside the time Capsule (this is what I call the Time Machine shared disk) to see how many files is there and if there is a GB 820 that contains all the data from my legacy?

  B. someone at - it an idea how the iMac see and recognize the original file should be here?

  C. If I were to remove the rare bundle that I peut see, will that potentially be old and will be that free space that is held open and allow me to perform a full backup from scratch?

  D. If C is not the original file remains hidden, no idea how I can find...?

  E. do I have other options that you can think of...?

  Sorry, that was supposed to be brief, but I wanted to make sure I had all the info there to allow people to understand what has happened and what I did to try to resolve so far.

  Thanks in advance

  See you soon

• Time Machine - how to restore the files it deleted?

  I used Time Machine to restore your desktop earlier. In doing so he erased the current Office - which I had not saved. I know, I know. But is it possible to get the most recent desktop and its folders and files again?

  You cannot recover the files that you do not backup.

  NEVER start a major change to a computer without backup in progress...

  In any case... you are where you are now...

  How did you restore?

  If you have used assistant migration did you use the same usernames... If so, the old office went and wiped on... but if get it has used an audit of different username for users on the computer and the connection with the old name. Also, make sure that the name is not incremented. Recover can operate with two users with the same name... the existing and recovered... so it can rename one... for example, aickind (1) can exist with aickind (regardless of your user name on the computer).

  In the Finder, see the list of users. Open them directly from the main boot disk... not your usual list of Finder.

  If you use the wizard to configure the recovery partition... As far as I know you have wiped the computer from the recovery date... After all, it's what you asked to do.

• problem of time machine Airport: finder does not

  Hello

  I use a time capsule from the airport. The connection works fine.

  However, I was doing a few files "organized" in the records of the airport and all of a sudden the finder would not respond. I tried to 'Force quit' the finder and start again or turn off 30 seconds time capsule, but the result is the same for a few days now. When I return to my main folder in capsule, automatically the finder is unresponsive and I have to restart the finder.

  One of the reasons could be that when I was doing 'organized' files (like move one folder to another, etc.) he too complicated (large files) and then the thing all jammed.

  Anyway, if you guys might have a solution for me, this would not lose all my files I appreciate.

  Thank you very much for your time.

  All the best,

  Florent

  PS: I'm using an Imac, Yosemite, version 10.10.03

  Nothing will fix itself without some spoil your files... Something has stuck at halfway between the two and is now corrupted. Unfortunately, Finder can not work around the problem... If you did this correctly, you can use disk utility to solve the problem... but you cannot run disk on TC utility because it is a network drive.

  You have three choices I see...

  One that suits that I listed last.

  1 make the cleaning of the Terminal file. It's hard I think because you do not know which files you were moving around in time. And work of the terminal is for real experts or you can do more damage than you started with.

  2. use a windows computer connected to the CT... that sounds crazy, I know, but you will not crash explore like you do finder. Fix up (remove all the files that are half way moved). If you have been for example copy of records. (travel is not a method Apple uses... so what do you mean by moving?)

  Delete the moved folder... Make sure you have all the files elsewhere of course.

  3. There is a way around that could save...

  In airport utility go to the disk tab and select archive.

  You need to connect a Mac to format USB stick capacity equal or superior to all the files on the TC, including backup (tell me, you need not backup)... you can't be selective. And start archiving. Once you have it on a hard drive which you can then plug your computer... you can run the utility disk on it and fix the problems before opening finder... Once you have done this... Erase the zone folder on TC and copy it to the back of the USB drive repaired. This method may work best... it will cost you a USB... BTW, which is how you should have done this...

  Now the rap on the fingers. You can stop reading now...

  NEVER USE A NETWORK DRIVE TO YOUR HAND WITHOUT A BACKUP FOLDERS.

  When you handle files... do you not understand that each file must be copied TC - computer - TC. If you do more wireless... corruption is inevitable.

  All the key files should be on the local drive... A USB plugged into the computer is fine... but active faster the better... libraries and files will end by corrupted if you use files on a network resource and access more wireless... even on ethernet, it can not not... but more wireless, it's inevitable. Apple didn't build protection in the TC to work as a file server. You use software designed for local use.

  Always save... If this happened and you had the worst backups that could happen is that you need to clear the TC and copy the files back.

  Keep this and you will eliminate not only a few files but loads of them... maybe all.

  A time Capsule is not designed for running your files of overload... Plug in a USB key or faster in particular the iMac is great hassle since you can use in powered car and hide behind the computer... The TC is for your TM backups. Dragging files to it... you have now no way back up since the TC cannot save itself and Time Machine backup network drives impossible.

  End rap.

• Two Time Machine drive backup restore to a single hard disk?

  Hello world

  I have a 2011 iMac that has a SSD running OSX and holding all of my applications.

  I also have a mechanical hard drive internal 3TO with my user on it and all my documents and files.

  I just bought a new iMac with a merger of 3 TB drive only and I need to restore everything as it is now (from two readers) on one drive in the new iMac.

• Time Machine does not restore files in numbers

  I just tried to restore a file of numbers with Time Machine. I had just edited and saved.  But then I realized that I had made a mistake.  So I wanted the version that I had for a few months before.

  But even if I went back several weeks, when I clicked on restore, I got was the last version. This precedent has lost.

  Is this a problem with the figures?  Or a time in El Capitan problem Machine?  (And I can solve it?)

• I threw backups time machine in finder - no space freed up.

  So, I realize after looking on these forums of discussion that what I did was stupid, BUT here's the deal...

  We have a backup disc that we have used for a couple of computers and I wanted to delete an old backup of one without having to change the computers, if you are using A laptop, I threw a couple old files to laptop B backup into the Finder. He asked that if I wanted to delete all the files that are locked, I said, go ahead.

  After throwing away ~ 400 GB of old stuff, space on the backup drive has not changed. I looked both to the trash and the. Record of cops on the drive and there is nothing there, even when I toggle the visibility of the file.

  I realize now I should have deleted the backups correctly, but how can I rectify my current situation - How can we recover the free space on the backup drive?

  Thank you in advance for your help!

  You can erase the external hard drive using the disk utility application (located in/Applications/Utilities). I strongly suggest making a backup to another drive before doing this. In fact, you should do that before doing anything else, because now you're sitting there with no backup at all.

  Good luck.

• Restore the iPad App via Time Machine?

  Let's see if I can explain it clearly without writing a novel...

  We used iBank on a series of iPads in Quicken replacement.  iBank was wonderful.

  A few days ago, we decided to accept the upgrade to the new version of the App.  The upgrade has changed the name of the application of Banktivity 5.0.3.

  After the update the app is more responsible, is back with ' an error occurred during the migration of permanent storage' and when we hit OK you get the spinning wheel of death, eternally.  Fearing yet another Apple HW question I made the mistake to immediately an iPad manual backup because I did not know when the last of them automatic was and I didn't lose anything else on the iPad.

  The iPad is running 9.3.1 model number MD516LL/a H/W.

  We have iTunes to save 'automatically' iPad 'to this computer.  We do not use the cloud.

  I had an exchange of mail with the support of the IGG, but when we walked in the restoration of a previous automatic backup on the iPad, they were out of their depth.  I have no complaint with their support, they do not know where are stored the backups or how to proceed.

  So, that's where it gets interesting/frustrating.

  I try to use Time Machine to restore the App from a previous version in iTunes and then sync to iPad.

  I do not see the backup files to iPad specific laptop I use for backup "automatic" iTunes "to this computer.  I see the list of applications on the iPad iTunes in the ' users > Shared > iTunes > directory of Mobile Applications.  I'm going back in time in Time Machine to find the last backup the previous version of iBank has or Banktivity iTunes before 5.0.3... in the hopes of restoring just that specific app and data...

  ... Previous Time Machine backups have iBank or Banktivity listed in the applications!  I have looked far and sought to my heart's content, but none are here.  All other applications will appear in the list, but not iBank or Banktivity.  Now, I'm stumped... Why would not appear anywhere in the last backups?

  Having lost all historical and current in the iBank data are a pretty big disaster if I don't want to take the risk of ruining more by doing a partial or full restore iPad without understanding why the previous of iBank versions and/or Banktivity do not appear in the lists before the last manual of Time Machine backup?

  The iPad is an ideas, thoughts or suggestions would be most appreciated.

  Real applications are not stored in the backup (which contains the content of applications, your settings, documents, photos etc), restoration (backups are stored in ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/on a Mac, a backup is not designed to be readable by the user) would look to pick up the application of the section My Apps from your iTunes library - so looking for a old backup iPad in Time Machine won't help your find the app.

  As to why the app does not appear in your Time Machine backup of your folder "Mobile Applications", looking for the correct name of the application (the name that shows in your iTunes Apps my chapter cannot be the same as the file real .ipa computer/time Machine; some of my friends have very different names)?

• 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.

• corrupted backup iPhone: you can restore old backup from Time Machine?

  Hello

  I recently had my iPhone 6 (last iOS 9.2) stolen and when I bought my new 6 iPhone updated to iOS 9.3.1 and it synchronized, he said that the March 21 backup was corrupt or incompatible.

  Leaving aside Why is it (except if in your knowledge, it has an effect), I was wondering is it possible to go into the Time Machine and find the last iPhone backup (hopefully not corrupt or incompatible) and then use it when you synchronize and put up my new phone?

  So in this case I would lose a week / a month value of the data over the year or so for my backup previously listed on my iTunes currently.

  More important still, I need to get my SMS and notes.

  For now, my contacts seem to have all come finer.

  A big thank you for any help you can provide.

  See you soon

  You should be able to do. Follow the instructions here to find and restore the backup on your hard drive.

• 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

  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.

  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.

• 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.

• Time machine is really back up everything?

  -What time machine does NOT back up?

  I know that it backs up the files and such, but what about my general settings and preferences? User login and pass? IPhoto library? My iTunes?

  Like... If I throw my macbook a bridge and buy a new one, will a time Machine, complete restoration make it the same as my previous macbook?

  I just want to know if I can count on just time machine to backup everything or if I should be back up certain things elsewhere in addition to using time machine.

  Thank you!

  Time Machine does not back up what this either in the trash or it backs up hide either.

  Having said that validates a Time Machine backup will restore the system as it was at the time it was made.

• Corrupt movies iPhone, Time Machine BU Confusion

  Many different questions from here a big problem.

  Recently, I had a lot of problems that my laptop is running out of hard drive space. It is overheating and there are a number of other issues.

  I tried to back up my iPhoto library, exclusively pictures of my iPhone and most of these shorts of the same phones, a c 4 and 5.

  I found a handful of films that seem to be corrupted and no matter what I do will not move on the backup drive. I've placed in a folder on my desktop and then dragged and dropped the entire library without those annoying movies on the backup drive and renamed. I can now go to iPhoto and open and browse the library saved, no problem.

  These films have played fine in iPhoto and when you open them from the desktop. However, most of them is HUGE, 200-500 MB for 2-5 minutes of film. That's happened? How to register these important films and fix the problem?

  Another big question, I want to delete this library and create space on my burdened portable computer but I am concerned about Time Machine and how he backs up. I know it is progressive but somehow erases the oldest backups after a while?

  I do not understand that like the idea of backup of my laptop medium I want to doing everything that I never go back to the time, I started to back up.

  What is the best way to back up your computer hard drive this old back ups are never deleted?

  How can I back up all my external drives so that they are also protected?

  I do not understand that like the idea of backup of my laptop medium I want to doing everything that I never go back to the time, I started to back up.

  And you can have that, assuming that you allocate enough space for the task.

  Time Machine keeps a restoration up - that is, you have the option to revert to a previous state, but how far back you can go is determined by the amount of space time Machine needs to work with. After all, each return until requires space, no? Thus, the limit is the amount of space that you allocate to the back upward. More space the more distance you can restore.

  There are several other backup applications, if the courses and the main difference is that when the disk is full they stop just back up. Then, you will need to allocate more space, either remove the material from the back upward. So same-same really.

  If you want to archive material, store it outside to a back up, move it to another disk - but remember that the disc must be saved ip too.
