• 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.

• delete the backups time machine (all) on an external HD is from another machine

  I have an external hard drive with backup TM to a second computer I want to free up space on deleting all backup sets. I understand that simply by moving the folder to the trash and empty it is not the recommended method. So, should I enter TM with the drive connected, navigate to the drive that has the backup sets, and right click on the folder that contains these and click on 'delete all backups? They take about 500 GB. No idea how long it will take to remove them? (I tried this method a moment ago, the computer has become impossible to use, and finally I was able to cancel the process. "If it takes hours I'll try tonight.)

  Thank you very much.

  If backups TM are the only items on the disk, you can just reformat.

• Start Windows after the backup time machine!

  Hey guys

  I have a MacBook Pro MGXA2 and I used time machine for the first time for the backup of the stuff, but after completing the course, my Windows boot option missing from the start menu

  Now I have MACINTOSH HD and a new option named: option to START EFI!

  in disk utility, I have a Macintosh HD and BOOT CAMP

  boot camp disk is always seen in utility dish! I have many pic in the bootcamp drive

  now the questions:

  How can I access inside the car of bootcamp to retrieve my files from disks in windows?

  is it possible to bring back the old windows boot camp player option to the boot menu?

  Thanx

  Welcome to Apple Support communities

  1. You can access your Windows partition with Finder. Simply open a new Finder window in OS X and the access to your Windows partition (often called "BOOTCAMP").
  2. Out of curiosity, what happens if you choose 'Boot EFI'? Note that newer Macs run Windows in EFI mode, so maybe Windows still works.

• Retrieve the backup Time Machine to iPhoto with El Capitan

  I had issues with my hard drive and decided I do a backup of my computer using Time Machine, install a new hard drive and reinstall my OS X. Once I had installed my new hard drive, I used my old one (via a 2.5 USB eSATA cable) to install from the recovery partition and I was prompted to install OS X El Capitan. All this went well and I've been operating pretty quickly.

  The problem: I have a file "iPhotoLibrary.migratedphotolibrary", I found in my new Time Machine backup the Photo app does not recognize. I saw that you can always download the latest version of iPhoto, if you can find it in your App store, but I never bought iPhoto isn't in my tab "purchased."

  Possible solution?: I have earlier versions of Mac OS X in my tab 'Bought' in the App Store. I can download one from OS X, put on a bootable disc, partion of my hard drive and install OS X on the new partition? I say, older versions will iPhoto and I can open my file "iPhotoLibrary.migratedphotolibrary" and export my photos from there?

  I really want to do: Have a way to import my file into the new Photo on El Capitan app.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Visit Time Machine FAQ of Pondini helps with Time Machine. It is a vast site with almost everything that you need for using Time Machine. You will not find a better resource for Time Machine in one place. I think you want to point 14 or 15 to learn how to restore a single file from a Time Machine backup.

• Cannot access my backup time machine on external hard drive once I changed my hard drive

  Since I changed my hard drive on my mac pro book I can't access the time machine back up on my external hard drive. All the shows when I connect the hard drive, but I can't access it.  Any ideas?

  I use El Captain MacBook Pro (15-inch mid-2012),

  By changing the hard drive, you have also lost all preferences, including those for Time Machine. You can have success by cloning back from the old system to the new drive to get back them.

  Or, simply erase the backup drive, reconfigure Time Machine preferences, then let time Machine do a new backup.

• To access the creative clouds of another computer

  Our crew is planning on a new short film shooting soon. To change, I was intending to travel to the home of my partner. Is it possible to access and download my creative cloud from his PC programs? Then when I go home and resume my subscription as usual on mine?

  You are allowed to download/install Adobe software on two machines.  So, it should be possible to do what you describe.  I would recommend disable you and uninstall before returning so that the option remains open to again at some point.

• Upgrade to Yosemite with backup Time Machine El captain

  I have a machine on Mavericks I would take to Yosemite.  I already have the application installed.  I wish it were a mirror image of my machine El Capitan.  Can I switch to using a time Machine Yosemite El Capitan?

  THX

  No, but you can upgrade to El Capitan. At this point, you can go to Yosemite, but you can't make a mirror of the El Capitan system. You can't mix and match OS X versions.

  You can restore the backup Time Machine of El Capitan is what your folder.

• 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.

• 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."

• When you reply to a post in a yahoo chat room, I suddenly said... you have been disconnected from the chat because you have accessed YAHOO! MESSENGER from another computer or device? That is what it is?

  When you reply to a post in a salon political discussion of yahoo, I suddenly get the message... you have been disconnected from the chat because you have accessed YAHOO! MESSENGER from another computer or device.  I did not as far as I know?  Thank you, Charles

  Hello

  The message "you have disconnected because you access Yahoo! Messenger from another computer or device." appears when you try to connect twice with the same Yahoo! ID. Someone knows your password and he at the same time connecting with you or you have Yahoo Multi Messenger and accidentally logging in twice. One solution is to change your Yahoo! password or not to use Yahoo Multi Messenger with the same ID.

  Good luck!

• can I remove the old time machine backups

  can I delete older backups time machine in car

  You can, but it is not recommended... and will be a long and tedious process with a very real risk that your entire backup file may be damaged. Is not worth the time and the risk in my opinion.

  Really, you have three options viable, listed in the order of most expensive on toward the bottom.

  (1) add a new time Capsule and begin to go upside backups... you keep your backups downside... you have to buy a new time Capsule

  (2) add a USB drive to your existing Time Capsule and start backups to go.   Upside down... you keep your old backups.  Downside... the USB will be slow compared to time in car Capsule.

  (3) clear your Time Capsule drive and start over with backups upside... no extra charge. Downside... you lose your backups.

• That the restoration of a backup time machine, a previous password change?

  That the restoration of a backup time machine, a previous password change?

  It could, if the last backup was performed before the change of password, and she understood this password file.

  But if you are missing a password, see this article on the search for your password with the keychain:

  Cess.html http://www.Macworld.com/article/2013756/How-to-Manage-passwords-with-keychain-AC

  The fact that Time Machine does not have backed up prior to the change, or discarded a way to backup older you may have missed an opportunity to save, if you have changed it.
