Applications :: How To Undo TM Backup And Recover Previous Data
Apr 4, 2009My gf connected my external 250GB drive to her computer and somehow managed to choose it as her time machine-drive and backed up to it. Is there any way I can retrieve my lost data? We're talking two complete albums of my own written and produced music, several years of photos and school work plus like 40-50 movies.

Jun 15, 2012I recently bought a new MacBook Pro with Retina Display, and when asked to restore files from Time Machine during Setup Assistant, I receive the error "You can't restore this backup because it was created by a different model of mac." The machine that I had was a 2011 MacBook Pro 15" and I regularly backed up with Time Capsule using Time Machine.
The most important thing for me is to transfer over all of my applications, my iPhoto and iTunes libraries, everything in my keychain, and all of my documents. The reason I'd prefer not to use Migration Assistant is because I don't want to do any of that manually, I'm just trying to find a simple solution that will restore to a previous snapshot with quick, easy steps.

Jun 28, 2014My 2009 iMac running 10.9.3 was having problems with crashing apps and just plain acting weird. I decided to do a clean reinstall of Mavericks using my Time Machine backup. I discovered that the Time Machine Restore erases the disk during the process and that would give me the "clean" reinstall.
After completing the restore, Mail, Calendar, Contacts, App Store, iTunes, Maps, QuickTime Player, and iPhoto did not have their proper icons in the dock nor would they run. Also, all the Utilities including Disk Utility and Activity Monitor showed bad icons and would not run. Trying to open Disk Utility gives a message "You can't open the application "Disk Utility.app" because it may be damaged or incomplete." Safari, Notes, Preview and other non OSX system apps seem to be largely OK.
I downloaded the OSXUpdCombo10.9.3.dmg and reinstalled Mavericks. No change in the icons, but this time Mail did open but then crashed. I tried moving Disk Utility from my laptop to my iMac with dropbox but OSX will not allow me to replace the bad Disk Utility.

OS X Yosemite :: Time Machine Backup Is Incomplete
Dec 1, 2014I have a Mac Book Air that has been backing up to a Time Capsule. I do have other Macs backing up to the Time Capsule which work fine. For some reason it is saying the last backup was the 9th of November. I thought maybe this has something to do with the lack of space. So I have added another disk to the Time Machine and I am not sure whether it is backing up to this one as it is saying the "Backup is incomplete".

OS X :: Can't Restore Previous Folder Icons
Mar 22, 2009Firstly, I apologize for my English. I downloaded some icons for my folders and hopefully I replaced the boring ones with new! However, when I try to change an icon that I just pasted, I cannot. So, the new and nice road sign of a folder cannot be replaced from another icon, even if it is the default one.

View 1 Replies View RelatedOS X Mavericks :: How To Restore Deleted (Previous Recipient List)
Aug 29, 2014I have my own, private, Macbook Air which is not used by my spouse. As a result, I have only configured my own e-mail accounts on this machine. It runs OSX 10.9.4.
We also have a family-used iPad, which is shared between multiple family members, including my spouse. It has multiple e-mail accounts configured, including mine and hers. None of us uses iCloud mail, just mail from external providers.
My wife is used to the auto-fill in Mail on the iPad : Any recipient from the past is used to autocomplete. As a result, she never built an address book since typing most of the names or first characters of her contacts resulted in completing the full e-mail address. The iPad does have an iCloud-based address book configured, which only contains my personal contacts. This iCloud account is also configured on my MBA.
During the past weeks I've put a lot of effort in cleaning up my Contacts, since they were swamped with outdated e-mail addresses. I also deleted the complete Previous Recipient list via Window/Previous Recipients, since outdated e-mail addresses were being suggested while they were removed out of my Contacts during clean up. I cleaned up the previous recipients list, assuming that applies only to the local Mail installation. But it does not.
Since the iCloud based contacts are shared between mail clients, the Previous Recipients list is as well, which was a nasty surprise. Apparently my wife can no longer experience any of her contacts being auto-completed on the iPad or other Macs in our house. This is a big issue (marital crisis) and I want to restore the previous recipients list. In the pre-iCloud days this was possible by restoring the correct file via Time Machine (which I use). But in the current iCloud days, the previous recipients list is, as far as I know, completely in the cloud. There is no (known) way for me to revert to a previous version.
How to restore the iCloud-based previous recipient list? can I restore a local copy that overwrites/syncs correctly with the cloud-based copy?

Applications :: Restore Stickies Database Back To Previous Date?
Dec 2, 2009At the beginning of November I opened my stickies and a song I had been working on was gone. I have had data recovery attempt to find the lost stickie, but 1) it was not saved as a text file, 2) it is no longer in the stickies database, and 3) I do not currently have time machine. Basically, everyone told me I was screwed except the top of the line place in California who wants to charge me $1500 to just attempt to get it back, with no gurantee. Is there anyway I can recover a deleted stickie? Or is there anyway to restore the stickies database/my computer back to a date when I know the stickie there?

OS X :: Create New Backup - Time Machine Asks To Reuse Previous
May 28, 2010I have two computers using one Time Machine Disk. The physical disk is connected to my Mac Mini, and it's shared over the network to my MacBook Air. The picture below is the backup disk in case you didn't guess. The notebook is my MacBook Air. So the MacBook Air backs up just fine, but every time my Mac Mini tries to back up, it pops up with "Would you like to reuse the backup "*DIRECTORY TO MACBOOK AIR'S BACKUP*" with this computer?" also shown in the picture below. So I click "Create new backup" and it seems to backup in the Mac Mini's backup folder like it should... until next time. I just want it to back up normally, both of them, without asking me anything first. Until now, I've just disabled automatic backups for my Mac Mini and would backup whenever I felt needed.

ICloud :: It Continues To Use Previous Apple ID - Cannot Get In To Change
May 18, 2012Because my email address has changed, I changed my Apple ID (on my Mac) and set a new password. ICloud messages keep popping up, on the Mac and Ipad telling me it cannot sync and asking me to log in, but providing the old Apple ID in the prompt. I have tried the old password, the new password and a lot of other words, but cannot log in to make any changes. It offers the option of resetting the password for the old Apple ID, but I don't see the point in doing this. I want to get into iCloud somehow, make it use the new Apple ID and do this on my iPad also. I do not use a mobile phone as part of this network.

ICloud :: Getting Error Message Asking For Previous Password
Jun 8, 2012I changed my Apple ID and iCloud ID today. But when I use iCal on my May 2011 iMac running Lion, the iCloud calendar shows up in iCal; however, I keep getting an error message asking for a password for the previous iCloud ID. I have removed the iCloud calendar from iCal twice and reinstalled it with the current ID and password. Everything works; but I still get the dialogue box asking for the passwork for the previous ID. It requires me to cancel it several times before it final disappears. How do I remove the previous ID so I won't get the error message?

View 2 Replies View RelatedHardware :: Fresh Leopard Install - Connecting To Previous Time Capsule Backup?
May 5, 2009From time-to-time I obsessively reinstall Leopard on my MacBook Pro. I clone my drive to an external, install Leopard totally clean (erasing everything), and then drage back the contents of my home folders. I don't transfer anything from my Library folder, I like to start completely clean and rebuild my settings manually. Yes, I'm obsessive, like I said from before.
So now I've got my clean Leopard install. Everything is perfect. How do I back up to the existing sparseimage that's on my Time Capsule?
I realize it will be a fairly large first sync, but I'd love to still be able to grab deleted files from last October if need be.
Anyone know of settings or .plist trickery to make this happen? Can I simply choose that sparseimage in the Time Machine system preference?
OS X :: Inserting A Data Cd Shows Blank On The Desktop?
Feb 22, 2010This has happened to me twice in a week on two separate machines, with two separate discs. When inserted into the Mac, the "blank disc" window comes up, even though the disc is full of files. The "get info" window shows 8k of space taken up on the disc.
How can this be, and what can I do to fix it?
Both machines are running Leopard.
