OS X V10.5 Leopard :: Time Machine Password - How To Recover

Mar 14, 2012

My MacBookAir  was frozen and was cleaned up in understanding that I can recover all settings and backup from Time Machine. But - password to enter Time Machine network was cleaned up too... It was the first long indusctrial sort of looking password that was given to me by the Time Machin during the process of starting it up. I made a note of it but lost the notebook..

Info:
Time Capsule 802.11n (3rd Gen), Mac OS X (10.6.1)

OS X Mavericks :: Recover Keychain Password From Time Machine Backup

Sep 11, 2014

My login.keychain password is not recognized anymore, i am very sure about the actual pwd string and I tried to restart apps and machine already, I believe the file got corrupted somehow, hence various applications such as FTP clients cannot autoconnect to external resources

I am bound to recover from a Timemachine backup, but all discussions are just dealing with recovering items in the keychain file once it is restored, what about the keychain master password? is it contained in the login.keychain file so that restoring that file to the HD will allow me to regain access to the saved items?

OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: Unable To Recover Time Machine Files?

Mar 23, 2012

I'm running Time Machine on a Western Digital network storage device from my iMac.  It works fine.  I can go back any amount of time and recover files as they were backed up then.  But I also want to be able to depend on Time Machine backups to allow me to recover files if my iMac goes down.  So just as a test, I tried to use the Browse Other Time Machine Disks feature from my MacBook Air.  I can't make it work.  It shows me a Choose Time Machine Disk to Browse window, but there are no disks in the choose pane. 

People have been telling me that I have to "mount" the volume, but I see no way to do so.  Clicking Go - Connect to Server - Browse, shows me that the backup disk is there; it's called <mydiscname>-backup.  But when I try to connect to it I get an immediate connection failure. 

 I'm beginning to suspect that there is no way to restore from another computer when the Time Machine backups are on a network storage device?  If this is true, people need to know it and stop using network storage for Time Machine, as it won't be safe if their principal Mac goes down.

OS X :: Recover Files From Another Time Machine

Jul 11, 2009

I was trying to remember how you do this exactly, since it said you could when I was restoring it. Anyways, I fully restored my Mini, and I wanted to get my iPhoto off of my Time Machine. However, it says that I don't have permission to drag it off of the Time Machine...maybe I'm doing it wrong (supposed to use a program to do this?)

OS X :: Recover Time Machine File On Another Computer?

Nov 12, 2009

My MacBook's hard drive died last night, but luckily I have a backup from earlier that day on my Time Machine enabled external HD. My friend has a MacBook, and I have a paper due for a class in about a week, so I was wondering if I could hook my HD to her computer and recover just the word document. I would have tried this by now if the guy at the store who's replacing my hard drive had not told me to be extremely careful when trying this or else it won't restore when I get my computer back.

Mac Pro :: Reinstall Recovery HDD After Full Time Machine Recover?

Jun 22, 2012

I had to recover my primary Macinstoh HD to a new disk from Time Machine, but somehow I now lost my Recover HD on the Macintosh HD.  To do the initial recover I had to install Mac OS X Lion on a 2nd internal Hard Drive, but now I want to use Time Machine and go back to before I installed Lion, because the permissions are messed up and I can no longer use that disk 2nd disk, unless I continually enter the admin password. Now when I hold down Apple - R key during boot I no longer get to Recovery HD. I was able to see Recovery HD using the System Information app, then within the Serial-ATA section, but that Apple_Boot volume is gone.

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?

I just did a clean install of Snow Leopard on my MacBook Pro and I'm at the part where it asks if I already own a Mac. I choose restore "From a Time Machine backup", I select the backup volume but then the system is asking me for the passoword to my Time Capsule. What? I don't remember giving it a password. I tried my system password from my Leopard installation along with a bunch of common passwords I've used and none of them work.

OS X :: Password Protection For Time Machine?

Sep 14, 2009

I have a time machine back up of my mac on an external hard drive. If this HD was stolen/lost would an avergae joe be able to access the data. i.e if it was plugged into another computer would all my files be accessible.

I use a password to login to my admin account and i'm the only user account.

Do i need to add some protection to my external? I realise that a clever mac user could get around any protection.

Intel Mac :: Password Not Recognized After Time Machine Restore?

Mar 20, 2012

Hard drive recently failed.  Replaced hard drive and used Time Machine  to recreate system.  Everything seems ok, but I cannot install software.  It prompts for a password, as it always has, but the system is rejecting my password as invalid.  This is the same password I have had for years (yes..i know). I cannot figure out how to reset it since it doesn't recognize the original password.
