Hi John Panarese,
Thanks for your reply. I have that in my answers archive now. The problem I'm
trying to solve though, is this. What if I have no idea about the date or time
when a file was deleted. I just know that it has existed somewhere in time on
my machine, and so it should now be
Hi Paul
You may have already tried this, but have you gone into Finder to see if you
can find the file? The way I understand things, you don't have to know the date
it was put on there if it was on your computer say at the last update or maybe

Hi list,
Given that I don't exactly know when my important file was deleted, I'm looking
to find out how I can restore it from my time capsule. I googled it and I tried
the following.
1. I remember that the file once was on my desktop, so I went there to begin

Hi Paul,
After you open up Time Machine and hear that sonogram
sound, you need to use the Window Chooser menu to go to the Time Machine
Controls. In there, there is a scroll area that you must interact with and go
back in time. When you are at the spot you want to view, you then have to
