Jim,
How do you do that? When I try it, I always get a message that says the particular volume or folder is a Time Machine backup folder and it cannot be added to the privacy list.

Anna,
Could you describe in more detail where the search field appears in Time Machine? I only see the time line, but no search field.

Actually, I got that from Apple. It's possible something is lost in interpretation.

That was implied in the Apple doc, but you are correct. It does not search through time.

So sorry. Careless on my part. And I was wrong anyway. There is no "Search All Files" in Spotlight. I was thinking of including System Files, but I just tried this and it doesn't work.
But here's what does. Browse to "backups.backupdb" on your TM drive and open it. Now search, using the search field in the folder so the the search is specifying that folder. This searches all your backups. If you find what you want, drag and drop to copy it out.
If you are not specifying the "backups.backupdb" folder in your search, then Spotlight it does not include this folder in your search.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
No you are correct. What I meant was that when you invoke TM, you are passing the current Spotlight filters along and limiting Spotlight to searching TM. They are now working in concert. If you don't invoke TM, then you are not including TM's indexes in the search. Yes, I believe you are correct, that all searching in OSX is handled by the Spotlight engine.

I'm not Anna, but the way to do this is to open a Spotlight Finder search window (Command-option-spacebar) before invoking Time Machine from the dock. Then, once Time Machine opens, the search window will be there for you. If you have the folder that contained the file for which you are searching opened in the search window (for example, ~/Documents) , once you type a text string unique to that file name in the search window, you can click the "wayback" arrow and Time Machine will glide back through individual backups that don't contain the file and stop at the most recent backup that does contain it (just one click). One more click, and you'll go back in time until you get to the most recent backup just before the file was created.
There are some inconsistencies. For example, if most system memory is in use (as reported by Activity Monitor), clicks on the Wayback arrow step back just one backup at a time. Also, I think that Time Machine may actually be doing some indexing as I search, because if I have the whole machine selected as the search target, when I click the Wayback arrow it may scroll all the way back to my oldest backup without finding my file, yet once it's found that file because I've targeted the search on the correct folder, if I return to "now," reselect the whole machine as the search target, and search on the same character string, Time Machine glides right back to reveal the deleted file when I click the Wayback arrow.
Also, searches on text within files sometimes seem to require enclosing the text in quotes, but once the file's been found using that technique, I can find the same file by entering the same character string from it into the search field WITHOUT enclosing it in quotes. (Of course, it only works without the quotes if there are no documents containing words in the search string in their filenames).
Even more strange, sometimes if I enter a text string that I know is in a deleted document into the search window, then click the wayback arrow, Time Machine will glide back to the correct backup but not display any results. Doing the same search a second time DOES reveal the file.
All of this suggests to me that Time Machine is indexing whenever it's open. Another clue is that the fans on my Mac Pro rev up when I invoke Time Machine. I can't tell how many clock cycles it consumes because Activity Monitor's window is hidden by the "starry sky" of Time Machine (on my two monitor machine, with Activity Monitor on the second display, that display blanks out when I invoke Time Machine.
I don't know if the inconsistent results I encounter stem from me not having enough RAM (I doubt that's the reason; I currently have 2.73 GB free).

I'm not sure what it is doing - "indexing" seems likely - but it clearly is creating some sense of order. I tried doing a search on email specifically and I had to wait several minutes before TM would allow a query. In the meantime, I could see the numbers rising on the visible windows as TM was matching up the windows to the initial state it presumed I wanted.

The attached screen shot won't make it to the forum, but I'm sending to you privately as well.
All I do is drag the relevant drives and/or partitions to the window of the "Privacy" tab in Spotlight Preferences. As you will see in the image, the TM partition is there in the Privacy window.

If I use a Spotlight Find File window, type a portion of or the exact name of the file I'm seeking, then activate Time Machine by clicking its dock icon, once Time Machine opens it either speeds through the backups from latest to the newest that contains the file I've deleted. I don't need to look at each backup one by one.
So they have improved the search in Lion. That is good news. -- I still have to use the date ladder. Yesterday I had to go back to the 4th backup to find my test file; now I have to go back to the 5th backup.

I have actually never thought of that, so it may have been a good idea to contact the developer. Please let us know what he has to say about this.

That may be because it's still trying to index that app. When I did this with Mail earlier today, it took a while before it would let me enter anything. I could see that it was indexing all the matching mail. Once it was done indexing, I could use Mail's own search field just as I would normally search.

Hello Daly,
Does it look like this by you?
http://min.us/mbhCzeVl9B
[I uploaded 4 screenshots for you. Use the arrows to navigate between the screenshots which are numbered 1 to 4. If, for some reason, you can't see the screenshots, then please let me know.]
If yes, then it means you have hidden the window toolbar before you entered TM (see screenshot Nr. 2)
To fix this you can do this:
1) Leave TM.
2) Open some folder (I think it does not matter which one)
3) Go with the mouse to View > Show Toolbar
4) The toolbar should be visible now (see screenshot 3) and instead of "Show Toolbar" you will see "Hide Toolbar" in the View menu .
Don't get confused, originally the search field was in the upper *right* corner, but I moved it because I find it more convenient to have it in the middle of the toolbar.
5) Now close the folder
6) Enter TM. The folder that you just closed will now be displayed with visible toolbars and you should be able to see the search field with the small magnifying glass (see screenshot 4).
Did this solve the problem?

Now that I have an iPad and want to sync the calendar on my iMac, I guess I have to get serious about abandoning Now Up-To-Date, which I've used since the beginning. The biggest problem is that I just can't see the entries in iCal because of the colors. Is there no way to make the background white and the text black? Or should i be looking at Google's calendar?

Yes, your mails are coming through and the list is responding.
Try going directly to the Yahoo Group and reading the responses via the web interface.
My suspicion is that you have another computer checking the same account. If it checks prior to the new computer, it may be deleting the email or marking it as read so your new computer does not or cannot download that mail. You can confirm this by going to Earthlink and using their web site to read your mail. If there is mail there that is not reaching your computer, this is likely your problem.

If you are not getting "undeliverable message" back and they are actually shown as "sent", than I would suspect earthlink. I assume they are your IP provider.

Curious problem with application help
Posted by: "James Robertson" jamesrob@sonic.net jamesrob328i
Mon Mar 26, 2012 6:39 am (PDT)
On my wife's MacBook Pro (MB Pro 5.1, 2.8 GHz, OS X 10.7.3), when I bring up application help in iCal, Mail, or Address Book, the table of contents appears, but the individual help documents "cannot be found" when I click the links. Help documents for the other applications I tried (iPhoto, Safari) are available and those that documents that trigger actions do so normally.
If I open another user (guest or my own admin user) on her machine, the same documents are accessible. I took the machine to the genius bar to get a new battery today, and they tried to resolve this by booting from the Recovery Partition and "resetting ACLs" (didn't work) and also by logging in to her user account, launching Disk Utility, and repairing permissions (also didn't help).
They suggested doing an archive and install as the next step. Any other ideas? I wondered about just reinstalling those apps, but of course there's no longer an Install DVD from which to select individual packages for installation. How about deleting some prefs files?
Thanks so much,

Re: Flashback Analysis

Hello,
The issue is old Java runtimes that may be left over on a machine and the
ability to target un-patched old versions.
Randy has provided the general solution. I just wanted to give a short blurb
on the issue.
Example: KP and other HC systems may have unusual build environments, so they
have to concern themselves if there are multiple JRE's on their development
computers [which may or may not be Macintoshes]. They should test their
systems to work with the latest JRE update that their remote customers may
have on all OS's. The Macintosh customer [Doctor, office manager,...] should
just update their Java JRE in general and keep up with security and browser
updates. Note that in this example, the data security, patient privacy and
authentication requirements are more strict. Hope this helps.

Okay...in that case it will take you about 5 seconds to re-enable
Java when you want to go to one of those sites.

Deleting Files on Airport Extreme Base Station Hard Drive
Posted by: "Arjun Singhal" arjunsinghal@yahoo.com arjunsinghal
Mon Mar 26, 2012 9:28 am (PDT)
Hi
I have a 2 TB Hard Drive connected to my Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS) which I access using a network cable (1000 Mbit/s). The Hard Disk has its external power source and I have about 600-700 Gigabytes used on it. We use this drive for network storage in office as well.
The reason I do not use a Time Capsule for network storage is because it does not allow us to access the files without being on the network, i.e. in case very quick access to the files is needed, all we need to do is disconnect the drive and plug into the computer using a Firewire cable. (The drive is firewire compatible).
The problem I am facing is while deleting these files from my Macbook Pro running OS X Lion. It keeps saying the Operation could not be completed as the folder is in use. I am now having to go into every folder manually and deleting every file twice, before it is able to delete everything, because the message keeps popping up.
What I am feeling is that OS X Lion is spending resources indexing the files, which is why this is happening. And I do not need these files indexed, because I am trying to delete them.
Does any one have a possible solution around this?
Regards,
Arjun

Starting Over

Greetings all:
So my son is home from college and his MBP is a sick puppy. Mail
doesn't work, Safari works intermittently, even Firefox has issues.
We've backed everything up on to Time Machine, planning to wipe his
HD clean and start from scratch with a completely new install of
Lion. The next step would be to restore everything back on to his HD
from Time Machine.
Question 1: If were do restore everything from Time Machine (except
for Mail, Safari and Firefox), is that a simple operation of
selecting the items and Restoring? The key issue is assuring we do
NOT bring back whatever problems were resident in the first place, be
they at the OS level, or the application level for Mail, Safari and
Firefox.
Question 2: Is this a better/worse usage of Time Machine? Or is it
better handled by Carbon Copy Cloner?
Question 3: If we restore from Time Machine, I'm assuming that he
either re-generates plist and prefs, unless we restore those, too,
right?
Question 4: Now that you get the idea of what we plan on doing, is
there a better way to be doing this or are we on track?

The only effective way I've found of ridding my system of errors such as
you are having is to manually re-install ALL apps and limiting any
restore to data only.
I've gone through it several times, and, no matter how meticulous I
think I'm being, I still manage to bring back previously existing
issues. Until I bit the bullet and did a wipe and 'hand' install of all
apps, my system was not right.

Howdy.
I'm with Harry!
Don't restore applications and preferences.
Restore data, bookmarks, addresses, documents, songs, pictures,
databases, etc.
This means you can restore the Users/son's account folder except for
the users/son's account/Library folder.

The best use of Migration Assistant is to migrate *user data* from backup to the newly cleaned and system-reinstalled drive, and although I've done this from other machines and external drives, I believe it is supposed to be possible fro a TM backup as well.
So -- wipe, reinstall, then Migrate user data *should* work fine. All the *applications* will be newly installed from the Lion install process.

You probably can not find out who it is, if it is a PC server. I assume that PC server comes from when you Get Info on it.
Can you disconnect it? Yes, follow the instructions that have been given in this thread to require a password for your network. If you find later on that one of your other WiFi devices can no longer connect to your WiFi network, you have identified who or what it is.

I have used both Macs and PCs over the years, although I am still almost a Mac newbie. And I have been away from my Mac for a few months, and so have lost some of what little I knew. I actually started with a MINI but before the Intel one came out. But my MINI died, or rather it's HD died. I have Mac Pro desktop, that is several years old. When I got it it was the most powerful computer, not just Mac, I could find. Right now my two PCs are more recent than the Mac Pro.
My problem with Macs is that I am always more Mac Newbie because I have been using PCs for so long. I started with them back in the MS Dos only days. In fact I was a Commodore owner before that, having owned a Voc 2. then a CBM 128. I skipped over the C 64.
I was an electronics tech, then an electronics teacher, hence the OldTechie handle. I am retired now,for ten years, actually. I would like to advance my Mac Savvy to a greater extent.
Old Techie.
