Hardware :: Password Protect Time Machine Wireless Backup Disk?
Sep 13, 2009I am using an external hard drive that is connected via USB 2.0 to my Airport Extreme to back up using Time Machine. In order to get Time Machine to recognize the hard drive in question, however, I had to mount it as a drive on the network. Can I put a password on the hard drive that is separate from my network's password? What I want is a situation in which people can get onto my network using a password but CANNOT access the Time Machine backup hard drive.

Oct 26, 2010Within a user account, is there a way to prevent someone from opening a folder (in documents or images, for example) without a password? Ideally, anyone can see the folder, but when someone double clicks to enter the folder, a password pop up would appear before continuing.

Feb 19, 2009I'm still having a little problem grasping hard links. But no matter, here's the problem: there's a file in Time Machine that I want to keep backed up forever. It's too big to fit on my hard drive, and I want to make sure Time Machine doesn't delete it automatically when the backup drive is full.
How can I make it a "permanent" backup?
Mac Pro :: Password Protect Internet Access To Avoid Others To Connect To Internet?
May 29, 2012currently I connect to the internet by doing this: Go to System Preferences / Network. Then I select my internet provider name on the left pane and finally click on the Connect button. That's all. This internet profile has a PPoE service name, an account name and a password. My internet connection uses a cable DLink router (it's not wireless).Â
Question:Â
1) Does the password I mentioned above mean that my neighbors can't access my internet, or are they able to do that and, in this case, I need to set another password somewhere else?Â
2) If I need another password, how and where do I set it,

OS X :: How To Access Time Machine On XP
Oct 26, 2009Unfortunately my 3 month old White Macbook was stolen from my house last week. Insurance has it covered, so when they decide to give me some money, hopefully before the end of 2011... all will have worked out. Even more thankfully new models just came out. Now the problem is that I had a backup on an external hard drive using Time Machine (phew) so no data lost, just that my stolen Macbook was my first and only Mac, and none of my immediate friends own Macs and obviously I cant just plug in the HDD to my XP machine.
I was in the middle of applying for new jobs, I'd like to keep doing that but my resumes are all locked in the Time Machine backups I've done some Googling and I've read that trying to access the files on XP could potentially lead to damaging or loss of the files. I've even tried booting up the ol Hackintosh I made before I went and bought my Macbook but even that isn't working anymore.

OS X :: Need To Access Time Machine Data From PC
Mar 5, 2009The video card in my iMac died a while back, so now I'm only left with my Windows XP laptop. 95% of my data was in the iMac, but fortunately I had Time Machine (TM) backing up on an external HDD. I recently wanted to retrieve some of the MP3s stored in the TM backup, so after installing MacDrive 7 on my PC, I went into the drive to retrieve the music, but I couldn't find it! I see lots of folders with dates on them but no music anywhere.
I tried searching the entire backup volume for *.mp3 and nothing. I tried making hidden and protected operating system files visible and nothing. The TM backup seems fine. I'm sure if I connect it to a Mac I'll be able to access the data. But only having a PC at the moment, how can I retrieve my data backed up by Time Machine and copy it into my PC in a way that Windows can use it?

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Cannot Access Time Machine
Jun 29, 2012getting this message even since updated to Lion OSÂ
"The backup disk image"/Volumes/.........MacBook.sparsebundle" could not be accessed (error 111)Â
After review on the forum here. Did try to verify & fixed the disc, re-setup a TM link wirelessly & wired. Delete com.apple.TimeMachine.plist THEN try again to backup. Still back to square one. Â
Looks like I am out of options before I have "format" the disc like a window user. BTW, I have the FileVault on & not able to turn off since not enough space left. And the worst part is I cannot move mush to spare space of extra 23G....So I have not tried if the FileVault would be the issue of all this under Lion or not..

Mar 4, 2012My main Mac is down until I can muster enough cash to replace the video card. on it. It's a Mac Pro 1.1. I have my sister's G4 1.67Ghz PowerBook I gave her sometime ago running latest Tiger version. i want to access some of my Lion Time Machine back up....specifically Keychain and Documents. Â
Is there a way to do this? I can see the directories through Finder, but actually going through Time Machine to recover these files is not even available to me.

Mar 12, 2012In my Time Machine preferences, it says my oldest backup is Feb. 3, 2012. However, when I enter the Time Machine interface, I can only go back to March 7, 2012.Â
When I look inside the hard drive from my finder, it also only has folders that date back to March 7.
I know that the other data is in there somewhere though, because the drive space is used up more than just a couple days worth of backups. accessing my old backups past March 7?

Apr 29, 2012For a couple of years I was backing up my old MacBook using Time Machine to a 1T Time Capsule. I had two profiles on my Mac, but eventually I deleted one of the profiles. I always thought I could use Time Machine to go back into the Time Capsule and retrieve files from that deleted profile from a date before it was deleted, but it seems it will only access my main profile.

OS X Yosemite :: Cannot Access Backed Up Data On Time Machine
Dec 3, 2014I recently upgraded to Yosemite on my iMac and now I can not access backed up data on my time machine. Time Machine will open normal, but does not allow me to click on different favorites to the left in Finder. I tried my other iMac which was also upgraded to Yosemite and even though this Mac is connected to the time machine via cable, I still can not access favorites in Finder. Seems like Time Machine is frozen.

Dec 31, 2008The following error message appears when I attempt backup using TM;
"You do not have appropriate access privileges to save file ".0019e33d49f6" in folder "Time Machine Backups".To view or change access privileges, select the item in Finder and choose File > Get Info."
Spotlight can't locate this file, I've ran disk utility to verify and repair the internal drive, verified the external, no problems on both counts. I even tried allowing read & write privileges temporarily to everyone on both drives, but no luck.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Time Machine Unable To Access Network Disk
Jun 11, 2012I have a USB disk attached to my Airport Extreme, and use it as the target of my time machine backups from my mac book pro (connected via WiFi). For the most part things work fine. But if my macbook goes to sleep, after it wakes up it often (not always) gets the next time machine backup to fail with a message saying that it cannot access the disk. At first I found a brutal method of correcting it: I would disconnect from WiFi, go to my AE and power cycle it. After it came back the macbook never had any problem with the disk. A little more exploration indicated that Lion wasn't unmounting the disk properly. The following works (but sometimes requires a few iterations): I'll go to finder, eject the disk, and disconnect from Airport Extreme, and then go to the terminal and do sudo diskutil unmountdisk disk1 (I first do a diskutil list to find out the right disk)Â
and then ask time machine to backup again. Many times I have to repeat this a few more times before it "takes". Has anyone else run into this? It clearly looks like a bug in Lion, since it never happened until I upgraded.Â
PS. I understand that Apple says that they don't support time machine backup to network disks. But they do to a time capsule! It isn't really different.

OS X Mavericks :: How To Access Time Machine Backups After Doing Erase / Reinstall
Aug 25, 2014I recently did a complete erase of my hard drive and re-installed Mavericks. I chose to start clean rather than use any Time Machine back-ups. I used the same external hard drive for my new Time Machine back-ups. Now I cannot open any back-ups/items prior to the re-install via Time Machine. They are listed along the right hand sidebar in Time Machine (star wars view) but will not open when clicked on.Â
Some files I can access if I go to the actual backup folder - ex a Pages doc BUT ff I try to open the iPhoto library from the back-up folders stored on the external drive, I get the following error message -
I cannot open the iPhoto "package" to access individual photos from these back-ups.Â
So - how can I get Time Machine to allow access to the pre-install back-ups??Â

MacBook :: How To Access Information Backed Up Using Time Machine From Old Computer
Jun 24, 2014I have a new macbook pro and I would like to have access to my old files and pictures that were on my old computer. I backed up my older mac onto an external hardrive using timemachine. Can I access those files without "downloading" it all onto my new computer? If so, how? If I can't, do I just need to get a new external hardrive and manually copy those files onto it from my old computer? I still have it and it is still working, just slowly.Â

If I open the external hard drive from the finder, I can see the backups on the drive.

OS X :: Password Protect A USB Key ?
Jan 4, 2011Is there a way to define a password on any USB key, so the computer asks for a password each time the key is mounted on the desktop ? Will it also work on any PC (not just Macs) ?
I suspect it isn't currently possible.
If it isn't possible, how do you protect the files on a USB key ? I don't want to compress the files and encrypt them...
OS X :: Looking For Time Machine Password Protection
Apr 7, 2008 I use Time Machine to back up my data and am very satisfied but have one problem with it. Is there anyway to password protect the backed up data or even the entire external hard drive?
My user account is password protected but it appears as if anyone who has physical access to my external hard drive can access all of my information. If this is the case, how can I protect my data?
