I recently crashed my iMac and have restoring it through Carbonite and Time Machine. Recently I recovered a file from Time Machine and since then the TM icon is missing, thus I have no TM. I've used Finder Find and Spotlight and have manually gone through everything I can think of including System Preferences. I rebooted many times with the external HD plugged in and unplugged to see the the iMac will find it. Here's the curious thing. When I run Disk Utility the TM Hard Drive will either flash or show up in the list so I know it's on here somewhere. I pray someone can help me. When I go to TM in System Preferences it want me to pick a drive but all that shows there is my main HD.
