Q: Reconnect to TM backup
In a moment of madness I have just disconnected from my Time Machine backup. [I clicked Remove Disk > Stop Using this Disk]. I reselected the same disk, entered the password, and hey presto I can no longer see my backups. I have not changed machines, time capsule or reformatted anything. I just need to re-establish the link to the backups I have and not start a new one.
Running Yosemite 10.10.5 on a MacBook Pro circa 2012, backing up wirelessly to an Airport Time Capsule version 7.7.7.
Can anyone help?
MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

Click the Time Machine "clock" icon at the top of the screen
Click Back Up Now
It might appear initially as if Time Machine will make a new backup, but after a few minutes it will recognize the old backup file and perform an incremental back that should only take a few minutes.
After that backup completes, you will be able to see your Time Machine backups normally.
