Hi,
How can I use Time Machine to find about 40 Safari tabs I lost when I accidentally closed the window but didn't realize it for a couple of weeks?
Thanks!
macOS High Sierra (10.13.6), Safari 12.0
You are welcome. Quit and reopen Safari if you haven't done so already. Try opening a new tab, then go Safari/View/Show Tab Overview and see if they show there.
If you are syncing with iCloud, you can try restoring the iCloud tabs.db files. There are 3 of them. If you restore them, that will remove the existing iCloud tabs.
Enter Time Machine and go to a backup where the tabs were open. Paste the below into the search bar and then restore the three files.
~/Library/Safari
Thank you. I went into Time Machine to a date I thought would have the tabs. I went to Library/Safari and found the three files. I highlighted all three and clicked" Restore." Assuming I did the right thing, where will the tabs appear? They're not in any of the Safari windows that were open before I entered Time Machine.
Thanks again.
