ICloud :: Lost Most Of My Notes - Any Archives Of Backups To Recover?

Jun 25, 2012

I just realized looking at my iPhone that most of my notes have disappeared or were duplicated a number of times. So I checked my email on my Mac where I could usually find my notes and they are missing there too. Does iCloud include archives of back ups where I can recover the notes? If so, how do I recover them?

Info:
PowerBook, Mac OS X (10.4.5)

OS X :: Time Machine Backups Missing / Unable To Find Backups

Sep 30, 2008

My Time Machine has been making the usual regular backups for a few months onto my Time Capsule. I just found that all the backups prior to about a week ago have vanished. It's not a disaster (I think) as I assume that the current backups reflect what's on my iMac (I haven't had to delete files from it yet).

Where did they go? Why did they go?

A possible connection: My TC is 500GB; my iMac 1TB. I recently put extra files for temporary use onto the iMac hard drive - Time Machine said (in effect) 'that's too much, try removing certain folders from the backup'. I excluded said folder and things seemed okay, but it would be at around the time I did that that my old backups have gone.

OS X :: Unable To Find Backups / Time Machine Backups Gone

Nov 4, 2009

Just wondering if anyone has had a similar problem with the Time Machine. I bought a 500gb Time Capsule last July and it has been running perfectly until a few days agp. I noticed that all my backups were no where to be seen (when entering Time Machine on my MBP) and that it was doing a full backup.. The backup took the guts of 36 hours.

I've come home today to find that all backups are gone again and it is doing another full backup!!!Any ideas what is wrong here?

Intel Mac :: Erase Time Machine Backups?

Feb 11, 2012

I thought I could use a 1TB External drive to back up my 320GB startup disk, and use the rest of the empty 680GB for storage. However, Time Machine started taking up 600GB of spaceon the External drive! I was like "What the heck!?" So I put unwanted Time Machine Backups in the trash and emptied it. Nothing, they're stuck there now. 

I'm planning on wiping the disk clean and starting over, but for future reference is there a proper way to delete Time Machine Backups? Surely there must be; (I mean, who would have known Time Machine would take up MORE SPACE than the drive it's backing up in the first place?

Info:
Mac OS X (10.6.6)

Intel Mac :: Transferring Previous Time Machine Backups To New?

Jun 10, 2012

Today I bought an iMac to replace my 2009 Mac Mini. Since the iMac had already been set up, I just transferred my data from Time Machine to it through Migration Assistant. A couple hours later I noticed that all my previous Time Machine backups from my Mac Mini didn't transfer over and that Time Machine had reset itself up.

Is there any way I can transfer over those previous backups from my Mac Mini to my new iMac? I know OS X Lion has a feature to do this, but both computers are running Snow Leopard. I am using a WD 2TB My Book for all my TM backups.

iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2010), Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Intel Mac :: Time Machine Backups And External Drive?

Jun 29, 2012

I have an iMac and send all my Time Machine backups to an Iomega 250gb external hard drive. Now Time Machine says the drive is full and cannot complete the back up- how can I delete some old back ups to make room for the latest one?  And once I have room- restrict it to back up only once a week?  I really want to use the drive for the music and photos- but fear not having a complete backup before i update to Mt. Lion.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

IMac (Intel) :: Can Time Machine Manage 2 Separate Backups?

Jun 21, 2014

I have an iMac 27" desktop.  I also use 2 external HD (Seagate type, 3 GB each) each connected via USB 3.0.  And lastly I have a 2TB Time Capsule that also serves as my wifi. 

Originally I set up my Time Machine preferences to backup my iMac onto my Time Capsule, no problem, worked great.  Left it like this for a long time... 

then I decided I wanted to use Time Machine to back up my External HD #1 (where I moved all my video project files), onto External HD #2.  This worked great, and I left these settings in place for a while. 

then I decided it was time to back up my iMac again, so I went into my Time Machine preferences ended the current setup so that I could return to the original settings (backing up the iMac onto the Time Capsule).   

...and so problem began. 

My thinking was once I got a recent backup made with iMac to Time Capsule configuration then I would go into Time Machine preferences and re-establish the External HD #1 to HD #2 settings... thinking I could continue on this way manually, each week or so, and therefore have 2 different Time Machines each from 2 different sources. 

Well, once I ended the set up of HD #1 to HD #2 I couldn't get Time Machine to successfully return to the original iMac to Time Capsule setup.  At this point I called apple support; they were able to walk me through some steps to get the Time Machine backing up my iMac onto the Time Capsule, but it required me to delete the original time Machine backup of the iMac on the Time Capsule.  Which led to reestablishing the backup (which in this case took almost 2 days to complete).

Intel Mac :: Is There A Recover Key Sequence Like Cntl-Alt-Del

Apr 4, 2012

There are times when my iMac locks up (like just now while I had iTunes playing and I looked at my calendar and clicked to see what invitation was pending).  All the input devices locked up (mouse, trackpad) and so the only thing that would have been left was a hot key sequence (if one exists) to recover from the lockup.  Is there one?
