Dear Group,
I am using Mac OS Monterey.
Today I opened my CheckBook Pro app and to my surprise, It was showing my last
transactions was December 29th 2022.
I guess there was a iCloud sync problem between my Big Sur & my Monterey.
So I have a Time Machine backup from January 22, 2023.

Hi Robert,
Nice guess. Tried it, but no dice. I've figured out the problem is that VO is
on, but nothing I do will activate speech. (sigh*(

Hi Donna,
What you might want to try is to hold down CTRl and option keys, and hit the
power button 3 times.
This should get you into a window where accessibility settings are checked or
unchedcked.

first option. It w

It's been like that for about twenty minutes. Anyo

Hi,
You go into System Prefs, Time Machine and uncheck the Automatically Backup
checkbox, close System Prefs, then re-open and check it again. The close is
required to properly apply changes.

Thank you Tim!
When verifying that ™ appeared to be doing things correctly with 10.14 I saw
these messages consistently though I was still able to list the files using
terminal, so I just forgot about it. I’ll go reset this option this week

Success! I finally did get my file back, and it was kind of interesting.
Unchecking, then re-checking the Backup automatically box seemed to do it.
Interesting part was that even after restarting Time Machine, I would always
get the message “no permission to read”, no matter what file I was on,

Herein seems to be the problem. When I find the file I want to restore, VO
announces the filename, kind, and then says “no permission to read”. I'm also
having trouble getting to the windows. Window chooser does show me the one
that’s got Time Machine Controls, but I’m not seeing the calendar to
Hi,
Being "Read Only" should not be an issue. In fact, I expect that the backup
bundle is all read only as you are not supposed to modify its contents. When
you find the file you wish to recover, use the Window Chooser to get to the
time Machine controls, choose the recover date then restore
That’s exactly what I’m doing. I really don’t know any other way.
Thanks, Tim,

Hi,
What process are you using to recover the file? You should be entering Time
Machine from the time Machine Extras Menu in order to recover Time Machine
backup data.

I’ve got a late 2014 Mac mini running the latest version of Mojave. I’ve got
time machine backing up to a network drive, and it seems to be backing up OK,
however it won’t let me restore a file I need. When I go to the list of files,
I keep getting “no permission to read” announced
Just wanted to say thanks to all those who were so helpful using Time Machine.
It took a little trial and error and some sighted assistance, but a day later I
got all my messages back. 9 years of saved stuff. So now the fun going through
all of it to pull out the important ones. Thanks again
Hey all,
I have never used Time Machine, but my computer has been backing up to an
external drive every day. I am trying to go back 24 hours and access my mail to
hopefully recover a lot of mail that I permanently deleted off the gmail
server, but had saved in mac mail in folders that are gmail
Hi all,
Can someone explain how Time Machine works? I have it set up, I have my files
backed up, but how can I browse to a file to restore it? How can I browse
previous versions of a given file? All the resources I looked up describe
interface elements, such as navigational arrows or restore but
Yes, sort of. If you wish to use your drive for other backup purposes as well,
then you should have two or more partitions on the drive. One for Time Machine
backup purposes and the other can be for other backups of whatever you wish.
The problem with putting other files on the same partition
Ok this helps a lot. So to be clear, I can partition my drive for time
machine. Then once it is backed up I can use the rest of the drive as usual?
In other words, time machine doesn't prohibit me from backing up and retrieving
files from the rest of the drive, right?

Just to be clear, you must dedicate a drive or partition to Time
Machine. It will take over whatever you give it and keep archiving until
it uses up all available space on that drive or partition. Once it runs
out of space it will prune the oldest backups first. As Tim points out,
if you start
Hi,
In order for Time Machine to work, the external HD must be formatted MacOS

a partition on the HD dedicated to the Time Machine backup. There should be

I have spent an unproductive time with time machine today. I wanted to go back
and fetch my iTunes library file from before I upgraded to the latest version
of that app. I struck out. When my sighted husband got home, he went in to the

Hi, all,
Has anyone had success using Time Machine inside Mail and other apps? In Mail,
I can't seem to manipulate the time and date selector, for example.
Is there a way to go into Time Machine's folders and examine the data there?
I'd prefer to use the interface, if it's
during the backup?
