• Cannot switch between multiple Time Machine backups

  I generally save my 2010 Macbook Pro to a 2012 Time Capsule, which is attached to my router via an ethernet cable (most recent) wireless. On a trip, I make the additional backups on an external hard drive. However, when I go home and try to return to the TC, my internal HD is now on the time Machine "Exclude" list and cannot be removed (greyed out). When I try to save, I get a message saying "no disks are available to back up."

  What has happened a few times, and the only solution I could find was to delete my original Time Machine backup and put a new (which took forever).

  Any ideas why my HD internal is added to the exclusion list after using Time Machine with an external hard drive?

  Time Machine backups on a network drive or a disc attached locally stored in different formats. Switching between them was not in the overall theme of the design of this service of OS X.

  I suggest that you set up Time Machine to use multiple disks.

  FWIW, in my case, I backup destinations, Time Machine on a Time Capsule and an external hard drive of 2 bolt of lightning. When both are available, the time goes 'take turns' Machine backup on each drive.

  If a disk is not available, it backs up to that which is, and which ignores the backup of the other. When the two are connected again, backups continue on both.

• I need help restoring iTunes from Time Machine

  I lost part of my iTunes library by removing certain albums by mistake and turning off the trash. When I tried to restore the Time Machine's iTunes folder, I got a message that I didn't have enough space. So I tried to simply restore the .itl file. I did once all the missing albums appeared in iTunes - but all the individual pieces were not there - got of exclamation points. I tried to locate to point iTunes to their new location - but I can't find where restoration placed. They are not meed to be in the iTunes media folder or all previous libraries.

  The .itl file is just a style text file with a list of the locations of the files for the track.  You must also restore the real media files.  If you let iTunes organize media, it should be quite systematically arranged in your iTunes folder in Time Machine and you can restore files individual album since you have no space to restore the entire media folder. If they are compiling or several albums of artists tracks can be spread out a little.

• How can I know if an external drive has been used for Time Machine and what computer it came with too?

  How can I know if an external drive has been used for Time Machine and what computer it came with too?

  I have several laptops and iMacs. I spent the relocation of the year and only used the MacBook Pro.

  Now I'm trying to figure out which drive goes with which computer

  I connected just a disk seagate 1.5 t and the first thing he did was to ask if I wanted to use it as a Time Machine drive.

  (1) if it is the TM disk accompanying this computer don't would not it have just started upward automatically?

  (2) what happens if I would have said yes?

  (3) I don't even know if it's been activated for TM. Is there a way to tell? It may hold just for iMovie files and other programs associated with a computer from my past.

  All readers of backup Time Machine contains a folder named: Backups.backupdb. If you open this folder, you'll find another folder with the name of the computer that has been saved. If several computers have been saved on the same disk, you will have several folders.

• "C:\Users" folder is shared when you share a folder in the directory?

  So everyone seems familiar with this problem, but has anyone seen an answer yet?  I've been whinging about it since the launch of Vista, but I am yet to see a resolution that does not involve a work around.  I was surprised to start seven RC and find the same question he still had.

  I'll reiterate for those who want clarification (and warning)...

  If you share a folder in the C:\Users directory, the displayed share will be the folder C:\Users (through which you will need to browse to find the folder you shared ACTUALLY).

  Not only is this a major security design flaw, it represents also reflect seriously illogical on behalf of the Member States.

  Advanced use of sharing seems to overcome this deficiency (only the folder you share ACTUALLY appears) however I have noticed even apparently random times the C:\Users folder appears shared despite exclusively using the advanced sharing?

  In any case, I wanted to raise the issue again in the hope that somehow, somewhere, someone could provide information about the position of MS in this regard, and if there is no intention to solve.

• 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.

• Folder by default, Time Machine

  I had this problem in Mavericks and now it also occurs in ElCapitan:

  I am in the Finder and want to enter Time Machine. The Finder currently on the top window can be anywhere on any of my internal or external drives.

  I will go into the Time Machine and the window comes down to my home folder. I then went back to the window, that I intend to display.

  This behavior was not there before the Mavericks, and I realized that it was a matter of Mavericks. Why then done in El Capitan? Is there some prefs to remove file or a way to solve this problem, while Time Machine opens the window that I am consulting?

  You can try to delete the .plist, but it may not work.

  Delete the /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist file (in your library folder level, not the library folder inside your home folder, where are most user preferences).

• Time Machine backs up with different users

  Hello

  I have 4 users put in place on my iMac and regularly run a time machine backup.  Having never had to use the backup, I wanted to check.  The backup TM covers all 4 users, or is it just back up the files for the user who is logged?

  Thank you

  The best way for you to get an answer to this question is for use you to try actually TM to restore a deleted file.

  I am amazed at the number of people assumed that their backups are working properly, but the first time they check is when they try to get back it after a HARD drive failure...

  Anyway, unless you deliberately excluded them for a reason, you should find that all the user files are included in backups of TM. Default TM backup almost everything, apart from a few temporary files and caches.

• Time machine access after a clean installation with different user name

  Hello

  I did a clean install upgrade to El Capitan in Yosemite. I chose a user name. How can I connect my new account to the old Time Machine?

  thx for your help

  Rainer

  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.

• Time Machine backup not my home library folder

  After having updated my system to El Capitan in Sierra, I decided to clean my external drive for Time Machine in order to launch a new series of backups TM Sierra.

  The problem is that Time Machine now stops back up when it arrives in the library folder in my home folder.

  He used to work flawlessly when I ran El Capitan.

  I then cancel the backup process which stopped at about half of employment (360 GB 201,85 Gb).

  If I dig in the time Machine ""current " file in the folder Backups.backupdb, I find my record library home tagged a red button with a sign less in its lower right corner."

  It seems to be a weird permissions issue here.

  No explanation of what's going on here? Any solution?

  I would like to launch utility disk-> first aid on the disk and partition just to be sure, it is not a file system inconsistency.

  If that doesn't fix it, I would check then the console logs (applications > utilities > console.app) to see if it is reporting the issue during the backup.

  If you still have no joy, I'd start to screw up files from your library folder (do not empty the trash so you can put back them) until I found what was causing the problem. Use menu bar to access the library in the Finder, and type in the library.

  Could someone please advise how I can reset the login screen, any help will be much appreciated.

  Thank you very much

  Charlie.
