• File restore from Time Machine Yosemite to El Capitan

  I need to restore a single file from a Time Machine backup of Yosemite to my new iMac El Capitan.  The file in question has been saved from a Mac Pro from 2008 to a Time Capsule.  I put Time Machine in the dock and right clicked on it, so I could navigate "Other Time Machine disks" and I am able to see the Mac Pro to backup, then select it.  However when loading the backup, it's for my new iMac and not for the Mac Pro.

  How can I solve this problem?

  Hi jt

  To be honest, the easiest is to go through the Finder. Navigate to the document you want and copy. Then simply paste it where you want.

  The finder will allow you to see all of the back-ups no matter the OS at the time.

  Hope this helps, Greg

  Hello. I recently got a new computer and transfer all my files across using Time Machine. Whenever I try to connect to any CC (including CC) program, the program stops immediately and an Apple error happens. I have uninstalled and reinstalled CC twice with no result and removed all Adobe products on my computer and nothing works.

• Is it possible to remove a file from your time Machine?

  Is it possible to remove a file (s) from your time Machine?  When I tried, I got a pop up says that backs up the items cannot be changed. How do you get the room on your Time Machine disk?

  Time Machine takes care of its own needs of storage itself, without interfere you in the process. When the TM drive is running out of storage space, TM will remove older backups if necessary.

  Time Machine backups are very sophisticated in what is backed up at what time. It is not as simple as just delete the backups 'elders '. Let TM its magic in itself.

• I've restored my Mac from a time machine backup. Now Dreamweaver bounces on the dock but will not start. What should I do?

  I also had problems with Captivate after the restoration.

  My Dreamweaver is CS6 for Mac.

  Thank you, that's good ideas! But my problem has proved to be different and much simpler kind of thing I expected and your solution would solve. My Mac not TOTALLY restore backup. Technology on the Apple store recommended re - install the operating system to a new version and then all my software and files from my time machine. If that's what I did. I don't remember that Mavericks does not include Java runtime, and I never realized that some of my Adobe products require it. Download and install Java and now my Adobe products work as expected.

• How to clean the files of time machine restore after reinstall

  Just did a wipe and reinstall on an iMac 2011 (10.8.5) mountain running Lion.

  I don't want to do a full restore from Time Machine; I just want to take a few important files (cache profiles, e-mail, etc.). [Did the reinstall because my system was flawed and nothing else I did fix it.] [The story is here:beachball recurring in all applications in Lion, finally freezes iMac]

  When I open Time Machine on my 'new' machine and turn it on, he says he has no previous backups, but begins to make its first backup in 120 seconds. There is no option to "enter" Time Machine and recover individual files.

  I then turn off Time Machine because I'm afraid that it will make a new backup and erase / unrecoverable my previous backups.

  The drive Time Machine target exists in disk utility. A 600 + files (backups, no doubt!) and verified without errors.

  Before the clean and reinstall Time Machine worked perfectly. I have test-recovered some files and everything was good.

  How do I introduce my iMac 'new' to my old backups Time Machine?

  Thank you

  Use tmutil inheritbackup such as described by the end Pondini in his FAQ, here: http://pondini.org/TM/B6.html. Follow the instructions in the blue box, entitled "inherit a backup. The is short and simple but please follow carefully.

  I believe that you won't always be able to restore individual files until that Time Machine backs up new, then let him. Once this is done, you will have access to your old backups.

  Alternate procedure: since you can not keep this old backup after the restoration of the individual in any case files, you can hold a key option key while clicking the Time Machine in your Mac's menu bar. A option «Browse other backup disks...» ' will be displayed. What to choose.

  Do you mean the file exist in Time Machine - or that they were on a non-time drive machine.

  Time machine is not for permanent backup of the files you want to delete from your hard drive - daily backups are consolidated/cleaned in weekly backups - so if you had a file in the middle of the week - then deleted before the end of the week - time machine will not it also on the weekend date, the file did not exist on the hard disk.

• Restore specific files of Time Machine on El Capitan

  Hello

  I want to restore specific files from a Time Machine after then reinstalling OS.

  In Time Machine that only highlight the buttons front and rear back 1 week and the sidebar, but it develops, is RED and is unclickable. I can find files by searching for them but I want to restore all of my documents and specific applications to try to remember all is not practical. The sidebar being red means it's inaccessible and if not, how can I access content on specific date, the function used to work in Yosemite and back ups I'm looking are El Capitan so don't know why I can't access it. Thank you.

  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.

• How to recover the Time Machine keychain

  I had all sorts of problems with OS 10.11. So I deleted and reinstalled a 'clean' version I was able to retrieve several files of my time machine, but can't seem to get something on the old Keychain data, in particular, the passwords of a previous backup time Machine. In addition, I think that Apple has hidden the user/library, so I can't find it on Time Machine.  I had seen other assignments with regard to this topic, but I think that the most recent is 2013/14.

  Maybe I misunderstood what Time Machine is supposed to do?

  If I have to, I wouldn't mind duty copy every password and paste in websites I need to access.

  Is this even possible or do I have to go to each site and request a new password?

  Thank you

  Three ways to make the House/library folder Visible

  A. this method will make the folder visible permanently. Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder, and paste the following at the command prompt:

  chflags nohidden ~/Library

  Press RETURN.

  B. click on the desktop, press the Option (⌥) key, select library in the Finder menu go.

  C. go to the folder in the Finder menu select go. Paste the following text in the path field:

  ~/Library

  Click the OK button.

  There is more than a bunch of file on the computer. The major is a key ring, located in the folder/Home/Library folder. The second keychains folder is located in the folder /Library/ to the root of your hard drive. Both should be in your Time Machine backup, if you did a full backup of the system. To help you recover these please see FAQ Time Machine of Pondini for help 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. Due to the disappearance of James Pondini is the site is no longer updated. Therefore, some information may be somewhat outdated. But you will find the method to restore a single file or a folder from a Time Machine backup on his site.

• Time Machine - backup is no longer, only 32 GB left 4 TB

• Time Machine and FileVault

  Why the Time Machine and FileVault don't get along? Can someone explain this to me? Far as I can tell this is not only a specific model of mac or time capsule as doest get along. Its all models and all versions of operating systems. How can I use both and they not interfere with each other? Is this possible?

  Time Machine can't save files encrypted... so, it must operate within the system. so, it can have full access to the files. It can then encrypt the backup.

  But Apple has changed the way filevault works over the course of the history of Mac OS... whenever there is so unique problems.

  Read the pondini to vault from file. Q25 here. http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html

  What is important to understand, is that Time Machine backup never the outside file Vault... he should save the files without any encryption so as soon as something happens... He's lost. And encryption of backup is not related to filevault.

• I had to restore my mac from my time machine backup. Now don't launch Captivate (7.0.1.237), it is not yet bounce in the dock.

  Captivate Mac was working fine a few days ago, then after my restore from backup it will not start. It is not I need QUICKLY! I'm on deadline! One of my other Adobe products also has trouble. Since the restoration, Dreamweaver bounces in the dock and but does not entirely. What should I do?

  It turns out that it was a simple problem that I feared. My Mac not TOTALLY restore backup. The tech on the Apple store had recommended to re - install the operating system to a new version and then all my software and files from my time machine. If that's what I did. I don't remember that Mavericks does not include Java runtime, and I never realized that some of my Adobe products require it. I downloaded and installed Java, and now my Adobe products work as expected.

• Time machine: old back to merge with another of

  Hello

  I have a problem my back disc is full. And I have similar backups. whenever time machine backs up all the files (I thought it automatically adds only new... boh.) Anyway could you suggest me how to merge the old backups in order to keep a backup with older and newer files in the corresponding folders? Can I do it manually, but what paths of files across? I know on the restoration in disk utility, but is used to copy a disc shape to another, I read. I have all in one disc, and I want to do new backup now that the mac is new. Thank you very much. Guido

  I suggest that you forget about 'fusion' backups Time Machine. Time Machine backups are complex, they contain several levels of permissions and access rules to prevent users from editing, display or delete data belonging to others (or system files).

  Time Machine also manages the size of backup itself, so even if you manage to make "a big backup" eventually he will get full & TM will remove the oldest copies (often without warning).

  Apple don't support editing, merging, or otherwise change the backups Time Machine.

  You would be wiser to upgrade the old backup in a safe place and start a new backup to a new disk. If you need old files you can retrieve them from the old backup.

  Another option is to make a copy of your important data for archiving. Simply copy these files to another disk instead of depend only on the Time Machine backups.

• 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.

• Backup from Time Machine not recognized

  Hello. I have a mid-2011 21 "iMac 2.8 GHz i7 with 16 GB of RAM, running 10.11.4, El Capitan. My old 1 TB HDD (HARD drive) was giving me problems (grinding and draw and he had considerably slowed down), so I backed up the computer with Time Machine (which I did for years), and I bought a 1 GB SSD from OWC replacement kit. I installed it in the hard drive, location in my iMac, reinstalled the operating system, and the new drive is running great. No problems with it.

  The drive Time Machine is a disk HARD Seagate 2 TB external drive connected by USB to the computer.

  So, my next step is to transfer the old news of Time Machine in the new drive. I tried first Assistant Setup in recovery mode, but the Machine of the time in the car was not found (recognized). When I started normally, the drive of the Time Machine is visible on my desktop, and backup files appear in there.

  So, then, I ran on the drive disk utility. I could not launch 'repair' the disk as a whole (the button is dimmed when I click on the disc), but I fix the partition on the disk. No not found errors.

  Then I went in the Migration Wizard to move the files. But I had the same problem as before - Migration Wizard does not see the Time Machine drive.

  So. I tried to enter Time Machine 'Star Wars' show on the computer and dated backups appear on the right side of the screen, but then, when I go to look at, it does not appear that there is something in them.

  I kept the old drive HARD and (in panic), I ordered a box to put the old drive, and I'll try to get the files this way. But, I still want to use the files on my Time Machine drive.

  At this point, the only thing I have to save my documents, my pictures and family videos and music. If only I could get in the 'Home' on my Time Machine backup folder by clicking on the player, I will manually install the files 'Desktop', 'Documents', 'Movies', 'Music' and 'pictures '. I don't know if this is possible, and I have never done this. I don't like not everything 'Applications', or anything else, so I'm willing to do the grunt work on those reinstall the old way. Can manually install you the items in the folder to the home page of Time Machine in another drive?

  Any advice you can give literally will save me! I'm kinda at a loss on what to do. The last time I used Time Machine to do this (to transfer the files on the iMac 2011) it worked like a charm.

  Thank you! Clay
