Time Machine on Recovery Mode

• Time Machine password recovery

  I changed my password for the iMac and seem to have mistyped the same way twice. Now I can't access any secure function, such as changing passwords, allowing changes to the system prefs, su, sudo, and so on. I have a Time machine backup from before the change and I would like to recover the password by the recovery from that. Unfortunately I seem to be unable to suss out the incantation appropriate to do. Do I have to reboot in recovery mode, and which would allow a specific restore TM backup? El Capitan 10.11.3

  Try to boot into recovery (command-R) Mode and then open Terminal from the utilities Menu bar. And type resetpassword. See if you can reset the admin password you're wrong.

• Mac does not start in recovery; could be related to Time Machine

  I recently bought a new Mac with El Capitan. Last night I finished a Time Machine backup to my old Mac (also El Capitan) and installed on the new Mac Time Machine backup.  When it was done installing, it has stopped working - I just hit a blue screen. After an hour or two, I restarted and it has never progressed beyond the Apple symbol and the spinning wheel.  I tried to reboot into Recovery Mode to try a re - install, but it won't let me.  I then went in Mode safe mode with set reports and he never finished, start the system, he kept having the same error pop up - 'tried to access a file compressed or unregistered type 7' or '8' again and again.

  I am at a loss.  Is it possible that I can boot into Recovery Mode, or otherwise get this machine to run?

  Thanks for your help.

  Start the MBP with the OPTION, COMMAND + R keys.

  Which should translate into a display showing a rotating globe:

  

  Following the directions, you will be connected to the servers Apple and power reinstall the original OSX.  You may need to wipe the HARD drive before installing the OSX.

• My mac reboots, even in safe mode or using my time machine backup?

• Is there an advantage to having a backup disk image of Macintosh HD (for MacBook Pro) to ease/speed of recovery after a disk failure rather than using Time Machine to recover?

  I'm trying to understand the best way to prepare for the recovery of a failure in the drive for a MacBook Pro.

  I do not understand the nuances of the time Machine - I know from personal experience that it is a recovery tool great when your existing drive is intact and you're just trying to restore a file.  But what happens if the drive has a hardware failure and needs to be replaced?

  Is there an advantage to take periodic images of Macintosh HD for quick recovery (and then using the incremental backups Time Machine to catch up to the current position).  Or Time Machine may facilitate a recovery in case of failure of the disc just as easily/quickly that will give it to have a separate image backup?

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  YES!.  If you have a clone boot disk, you can either connect it to a MBP or Exchange it with the internal HDD failed and be back in business quickly.  Time machine, as good as is, can take several hours to restore your system, depending on the amount of data.

  For cloning, I recommend Carbon Copy Cloner.  It is not free, but it's worth the price:

  I use it in conjunction with Time Machine.  (two backups are better than one)

• Time machine does not take into account my partition which is case-sensitive.  Recovery has no data of this partition.

  I have a partition on my drive that is formatted for OS X Journaled, case sensitivity.  When I perform a backup, then recovery, all data in this partition is missing.  Time Machine does not recognize partitions of case-sensitive?  Strange, as the default format for Time Capsule itself is case sensitive.

  You cannot use the formatting case-sensitive with OS X. You will need to repartition the drive to Insensitive in full. You can not do any repairs or restore from a backup Time Machine.

• Pacifist software, stop Time Machine recovery

  Hello

  I have a Macbook updated 2009 level to El Capitan.

  When I try to retrieve a file from Time Machine I get a pacifist message, saying: I need to register to continue.

  I have not consciously responsible for this software and cannot remove it, because it does not appear in any directory.

  Howdy I get rid of it, or can I enroll?

  Concerning

  Alex Koscica

  You can more details on the message would have been pacifist?

  The demo version of the software CharlesSoft would go free...

  http://www.Charlessoft.com/

  old http://www.charlessoft.com/pacifist_olderversions.html

  But, you need to download yourself. Might be another

  software attempts to usurp the name of pacifist to get you to load it.

  Never seen the problem and I used several versions of pacifist.

  And I get software from the sites official and no softonic, etc..

  Maybe someone will post and will advise long which will show you

  you a list of things currently running on the computer, which may point to which

  the point is that you see; and maybe offer indicate you its location.

• Time machine - external hard drive recovery

  I used time machine to back up my mac and an external hard drive. If I unplug the external drive and enter time machine, I can see no longer the external hard drive.

  If my external drive is lost or stolen, how access backup?

  You can not. If you are worried he'll get lost or stolen, get an external one, make a backup and keep this one in a very safe place.

• I can not fire first aid in Recovery Mode

  I upgraded to Sierra this afternoon. Because I'm disorder obsessive-compulsive, I ran first aid on Macintosh HD, despite the quite well running system. Said disk utility it found corruption, and should I run first aid in Recovery Mode. I restart, press command + R and go into Recovery Mode. I open disk utility, but I can't select "Macintosh HD" to perform first aid. It is grayed out.

  How can I select Macintosh HD in Recovery Mode to run first aid?

  When mode of recovery, that on the mac? (Apple menu, about this mac)

  have you tried r instead of command + R?

  You have a time machine backup drive? If so, can you boot option for that?

• 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.

• boot into recovery mode

  I have a Macbook Pro MD101B/a man. The vehicle currently has el capitan later. I'm trying to prepare it for resale. When I try to open it in recovery mode, it comes up with the connection to the network, I select the right network and password and then nothing happens except the screen displays the network and a logo of the world. Is this correct? I expected to get to the usual window showing disk utility, time machine backup restore, etc., but it does not show that.  Just leave forever with the projection of the network?

  Just mystified as to why Im not getting options I was expecting.

  TIA

  It's normal. The Mac is from recovery of the Internet.

  It will take some time. Wait until the OS X Utilities window appears.

  Then reinstall the OS X, the original version that came with the Mac.

• IMac G5 will not load into recovery mode

  I have a 2005/2006 IMac G5. I started it yesterday, after a few years in the area. He started well, so I ran the updates. After the system shuts down, it has not restarted. When I turn it on it come to la? and file screen. I tried both Internet recovery mode and recovery mode, but it ends finally in the? and file screen, the screens of recovery mode to jump. I have an external hard drive with time machine back ups. When I restart with the hard drive attached and hold down option, a screen with a return of arrows and an arrow appears, but no hard drive does not appear above them. Any help is appreciated

  There is no recovery or recovery Internet in Mac G5. You can install the system is Leopard (10.5) and this can be done from the installation discs. The system initially installed a Tiger (1.04), once again, the only installable from installation discs. Either type of installation disc can be started from to perform an audit on the hard disk in disk utility. You cannot start from the Time Machine disk because it does not contain an operating system.

  Your first step is to boot from the floppy to install for any system you have installed - insert the floppy disk, and then restart holding + command + c. When it is loaded (which will take some time) go to the Utilities menu and choose disk utility: run the ERD. If it is able to correct any errors, you should then try to install from the disc.

• Backup Restore Time Machine does not see RAID external drive

  Hi all

  I have a problem with my iMac restore from a Time Machine backup, and I was wondering if anyone else had the same problem already.

  I had to reinstall OS X El Capitan from scratch, based on education, I received Support from Apple. That worked without problems and my iMac works fine. However, I wanted to restore it to how it was before, using Time Machine. I keep my backups on a LaCie 5big Thunderbolt 2 and never had any problems with it.

  To restore the system, I followed the instructions on the Support page. I restarted my system in recovery mode and selected the "restore from Time Machine backup". Unfortunately the LaCie 5big does not appear on the list of drives, so I'm stuck... When you use the system in normal mode, the external RAID is visible and Time Machine stores backups on it without any problem.

  Any of you are familiar with this problem? I would be very grateful if you could help me with this problem!

  Kind regards

  Valerio

  Hello

  -While the system is booted in recovery mode, confirm that the Lacie 5big network is visible in disk utility.   You will need to disconnect / reconnect the Thunderbolt cable to the Lacie 5big be detected.

  -Once seen, a new attempt to restore from Time Machine backup.

  See you soon
