I am backing up to my time capsule for the first time. It has been stuck on 348mb of 20.1 gb for days. Is this normal or is the machine not functioning correctly?

I am backing up to my time capsule for the first time. It has been stuck on 348mb of 20.1 gb for days. Is this normal or is the machine not functioning correctly?

That seems to be OK via WLAN!
It ist better to do the first backup via LAN-cable.

    Time Capsule error 22 - My time capsule was working fine and didn't notice anything wrong with it until it stopped backing up about two weeks ago. I never changed anything like computer names or the Airport settings. All I get is the following:
    The backup disk image "/Volumes/Data/Linda's Computer 1.sparsebundle" could not be created (error 22).
    I tried resetting the Time Capsule and connecting with an ethernet cable, although the Ariport Utility says everything is working fine through WiFi.

    If the light will not turn on the TC is dead. No matter that the hard disk is running.. it should only run at start up or when it is accessed not constantly.. that means the board in the TC has failed. Apple do not repair them.. They will replace it under warranty or applecare.
    If you have gone over the 12month warranty it will still be covered if you have applecare on any computer or an Apple TV. In fact the cost of the apple TV plus apple care is still cheaper than buying a new TC.. so it is a route some people are taking.. certainly depends.. in some places like Europe or Australia now, there is a recognition that statutory warranty must be longer on a product that is premium to the market. 12months is not good enough. Apple will sometimes listen.
    They might be fixable but I do not know how.

  • Where are my photos?  just tried to access time capsule after my first back up and am unable to open iphoto to verify they were backed up.

    where are my photos?  just tried to access time capsule after my first back up and am unable to open iphoto to verify they were backed up.

    You can't open your backups directly with apps.
    But you can see some types of files in your backups.  If you're still on Snow Leopard (or Lion with iPhoto '09 or earlier), see the gray box at the end of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #15.
    If you're on Lion with iPhoto '11, you can use the Finder to see the iPhoto library, per the beginning of that same link.  All you can see there is the library and size.

  • Backing up a 1TB Time Capsule with a 2TB Time Capsule

    I have a 1TB Time Capsule and a 2TB Time Capsule.
    Can I use the 1TB TC as a network disk (to store my iTunes files and my iPhoto file) and have it automatically backed up on the 2TB TC through Time Machine?

    No you cannot do that.. TM cannot backup a network drive.
    You can do it using a 3rd party backup software.. CCC, superduper.. anything really just not TM.

  • I have a new time capsule (replace my old time capsule).  I want to erase my old one.  My computer does not see the old one anymore, how do I connect it (the old TC is not connected to modem)

    I have a new time capsule (replace my old time capsule).  I want to erase my old one.  My computer does not see the old one anymore, how do I connect it (the old TC is not connected to modem).  I want to erase it and then use it as either a second hard drive (sired/sirelesly?) or as a hard drive/bridge.  So,
    1.  why doesn't my cmputer see the old TC
    2  once i have solved that, how do I erase the old one
    3.  Can I use the old one as a supplemental hard drive
         a.  wired?
         b. wirelessly?
    4.  Can I use the old one as a range extender?
    I know .. a lot of questions but I would appreciate any help.

    1. Because it is either the same IP as the new one or hidden by being plugged in as a second router.
    To access it, isolate one computer from the existing network and plug it directly by ethernet to a lan port of the TC. Use the erase function in the TC to remove all the content of the hard disk.
    Then go to the internet tab, connection sharing and select off bridged. You can then reconnect the TC to the network.. and the computer as well. The TC will act as bridged device.. getting IP from the main router and should then appear correctly in Airport utility.
    2. I covered in 1. But you just go in airport utility manual setup. disk, and you will see the erase function. You can also set it to bridge and leave the erase until you put it back in the network.. but be careful you erase the right one.
    3. You can use the old TC via wired or wireless.. although I would always stick to wired connection if possible. Speed on wireless is 10x worse than wired.
    Also note the reliability goes down dramatically after 2 years.. a series 1 3 years old or more is ebay fodder unless you want to repair it. Do not trust vital data to it.. when it dies you will have issues recovering it.
    4. Yes, all apple routers will function as wireless extenders. when you do that the ethernet ports turn off so it becomes a purely wireless device.. strange apple decision on what you want to use your TC for.

  • Touchpad not functioning correctly

    I have an Envy 17,(Windows 7) and the touch pad is not functioning correctly.  I have had it do similar things in the past but they seemed to fix themselves after a few minutes, but this time it just keeps messing up. I CAN click on programs to open them but once in a program, I cannot click on anything. I CAN click on links when online, but they always open in a new tab and when I attempt to click on a new tab, the tab completely closes out. Once a program is opened, I cannot close/minimize/maximize it using the touchpad, nor can I access File/Edit/other menu options.  I also cannot click in a typing field. (I'm using a different computer to do this post)I can barely move the curser around.  It jumps or freezes up.  I move it up about an inch and as soon as I take my finger off the touchpad the curser goes back to where it originally was.  I've tried restarting the computer but that hasn't worked.  I've attempted tried some other things as well, but since I cannot click on anything with the touchpad and can barely move the curser, I am at a loss for what to even try.  Everything was working fine this morning.  I literally got up from the computer, made breakfast and sat back down and it was all glitched up.  No one had touched it...  I had not recently downloaded anything nor have I made any updates to the computer.  Thank you, Neyephe

    Hello there, It sounds like there is a hardware issue with your touchpad, which you need to replace. As stated in the warranty, the touchpad may only be replaced by an Authorized Service Provider. If you cannot find any places that are authorized, you may contact the HP Support Center via phone and arrange a date for your touchpad to be replaced. In the meantime, you can buy a USB mouse to navigate your laptop. Best wishes getting your issue fixed! Best Regards,Shawn

  • Forgot password to access my Airport Time Capsule, can't restore Time Machine backup

    It is stupid, I know, but after the first time I setup Time Machine in my Airport Time Capsule (6 months ago) i never had to use the password because it stayed stored in my Keychain.
    Anyway, couple days ago I had to format the hard drive of my MacBook Pro and I did it thinking that I had a complete data backup stored in my Airport Time Capsule (encrypted data). It was late when I realized that I did not have the password written/stored anywhere. Nothing to do about it, just move on and start all over again.
    I need to clean up my Airport Time Capsule and set it to factory default. I already accepted that I will lose all my data and it is okay. So far all I found was how to reset the wifi user/password but nothing about deleting stored data or reset to factory default without having the encrypted password. Can you please help me? Thanks in advance!  

    The encrypted data is not related to the Time Capsule.. that is purely Time Machine.
    Very sorry for you.. it is one big danger when you encrypt.
    Reset to factory.
    Factory reset universal
    Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
    N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
    Wipe the hard disk. Open the airport utility go to the disk tab. Click on erase disk.
    Select just quick erase.. it just deletes the file table and is not secure but fine for your purposes.

  • Time machine would back up only the first time after I shut off my imac and started it up again.  Then it would fail or claim it could not locate my external Hard Drive even though it's icon was showing in the time machine dialog window.

    Time machine only ever backed up the first time it runs immediately after I start up my computer after it has been shut off.  All other back up attemps fail.  Recently it stopped recognizing the icon for my external hard drive in the time machine dialog window where you select the hard drive to back up to, and turn on and off the time machine function.  Now the external HD icon only shows up on the desk top but no longer in the dialog box. I just tried shutting the computer off and turning it on again and now the light is on, on the external hard drive but the icon does not even appear on the desk top.
    The external hard drive is a 1TB Seagate. The drive still has plenty of unused capacity.  I ran a diagnostic test on it. It said the disk needed repair but the repair function would not work. The message stated that it could not be unmounted and repair is not available because the disk can't be written to. The Mac OX utility said the disk can still be opened but can't be changed nor repaired.  The external HD is not S.M.A.R.T. supported.
    I haven't tried replacing the cable yet. Is that the next thing I should try?

    What Mac OSX version are your running ("iOS" as shown in your profile cannot run on a Mac computer)?

  • Time Machine: Repeated errors when backing up for the first time using a new external firewire drive

    My Iomega 500GB firewire external drive failed on me last week and I have just replaced it with an identical model. I used to use the old drive with Time Machine on my MacBook Pro running 10.5.8 with no issues, until the drive had a hardware failure and stopped spinning up, hence the replacement.
    Two days ago I tried using Time Machine for the first time with the replacement external drive. The backup failed and each subsequent backup attempt has failed since then with a different error each time. The drive cannot be ejected using Finder (Finder says disk is in use and cannot be ejected even when no processes are running except for Finder and Time Machine has been disabled), by dragging it to the dock (hangs computer which can only be fixed by a hard reboot), in Disk Utilities (drive cannot be unmounted) or in Terminal ("no such file or directory").
    The first backup attempt failed after 3 hours of "preparing" with the message "The backup was not performed because an error occured while creating backup directory".
    I tried repairing the disk in Disk Utilities and Disk Utilities said the drive was OK ("the volume Time Machine Backups appears to be OK"). I tried ejecting the drive (hard reboot of computer and disconnecting the drive), plugging it back in again and trying again.
    This time it started backing up, then failed after a few minutes with the message "an error occured while copying files to the backup volume". I had a look at the troubleshooting suggested on http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/C3.html and followed instructions. It failed again, so I did a full reset as per http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/A4.html.
    It failed again, so I tried reparing the drive again in Disk Utilities and again it said it was OK. I tried using different cables and ports (Firewire 400 instead of Firewire 800), and backups still fail.
    I have turned off anti-virus scanning (Sophos). I have tried excluding it from Spotlight but this causes an error message from Spotlight. I have tried trashing the com.apple.TimeMachine.plist file and rebooting. I have tried selecting deselecting the drive as the back up in Time Machine preferences, selecting "None", then "Stop Backing Up" then quitting preferences, rebooting, disconnecting the drive, reconnecting the drive and selecting the drive again as the backup disk in Time Machine preferences. I have tried erasing the drive completely, rebooting, and trying to back up again.
    None of these have worked. This is a brand new drive and I do not want to have to replace it again if I do not have to.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you.

    Hello, some possible clues...
    Should you click “Start New Backup”? Not yet! If you see the dialog above, your existing Time Machine backup is corrupt, and you might not be able to recover data from it. But you can save a copy of the corrupt bundle and, perhaps, extract some data from it if needed.
    Ask yourself if Time Machine has saved data you might need before deciding what to do next:
    If you are sure you won’t need anything backed up before today, click “Start New Backup” and let Time Machine do its thing.
    Otherwise, click “Back Up Later” and save a copy before letting Time Machine start a new backup. Just look for a file called “computername.sparsebundle” (for network backups) or “Backups.backupdb” (for local ones) and create a copy with a different name. You can open sparsebundle files with DiskImageMounter and browse them like any other disk. More information is available here.
    There you go. If you click “Start New Backup” when you see this dialog box, Time Machine will erase all of your old backup data and start a new bundle. It won’t be corrupt, but it will be empty.
    Note that you can manually initiate a Time Machine backup integrity check by option-clicking the “Time Machine” icon in the menu bar and selecting “Verify Backups.”
    http://blog.fosketts.net/2010/08/11/time-machine-completed-verification-backups- improve-reliability-time-machine-create-backup/
    According to This Time Machine resource   “This appears only on Snow Leopard, and started with the Time Capsule Backup Update 1.0 in mid-May of 2010.  It also seems to have been included in the 10.6.3 v1.1 update and 10.6.4.”
    So, what can you do about it?  Grin and bear it, it seems, until Apple fixes it.
    One thing you can do to make the backup take less time is to connect your machine to your Time Capsule or other backup drive via Ethernet for the duration of the initial backup.

  • Hyperlinks Are Not Functioning Correctly

    I have a problem with the some of the hyperlinks in my
    WebHelp Pro project not functioning correctly once the project is
    compiled. What happens is that when I click on a hyperlink the text
    doesn't change from blue to purple. Not all the hyperlinks on a
    page are affected; some may work while others do not.
    When I look at the HTML code, I see two different things
    happening, and both things may not occur in the same code:
    1) In some documents the code reads "a visited=0000ff." The
    value should be 800080.
    2) In other documents "font color=blue" is being added to the
    HTML code for a particular hyperlink. Other hyperlink code in the
    same document may be unaffected.
    I have checked the font color in the editor to make sure it
    was set to "automatic" before I created the hyperlink. I removed
    the hyperlinks altogether, recompiled, then opened the document
    back up and recreated the hyperlinks. The problem still exists.
    Every document in my project is using the default.css style sheet.
    I use the same paragraph style throughout the project, both on the
    links that work correctly and those that do not.
    Has anyone ever experienced this problem? And if so, do you
    know the fix? I could manually edit the HTML code before publishing
    my project, but that is just a bandaid fix.

    The hyperlink color is controlled by the style sheet. I edit
    my style sheets in a text editor. Make sure you clear your browser
    history before testing the color changes.
    FWIW, I like my links to stay blue--I usually have the color
    change to purple in hover just to indicate that what is moused is
    indeed a viable link.

  • ICal not functioning correctly

    First of all, I have been using Entourage which I sync with iCal so that I can sync my calendar with my iPhone. I would like to discontinue using Entourage but for some reason, iCal is not functioning correctly. First, the calendars do not appear in the left hand window and I cannot seem to figure out how to get them to appear.
    Second, when iCal opens off of the dock, there is nothing showing on the calendar at all. When I change the view (i.e., month, to week) then all of my scheduled events appear. When I go back to the original view, everything appears. When I attempt to sync with MobileMe, I get a message at the website that "a script is not responding." I don't know whether the two are related or not.
    Any help?????

    I have the same problems. Also, I can't enter a "multi day' event, the system tells me there is a fault and it cannot synch. I was automatically updated to MobileMe, but the system isn't performing as promised.

  • CUC Cluster not functioning correctly

    Saw a few posts and documents relating to this issue but they don't match up perfectly with my particular scenario.  Basically, the customer could no longer log into the Unity Pub so we had to do a rebuild as nothing was working.  The sub took over as it should, a co-worker rebuilt their Pub and the split-brained effect never went away.  In, fact they arn't communicating at all almost a week later.  Here are the things I've checked so far:

  • Setting up a Time Capsule for the first time and replacing it with an existing Router

    Hey there,
    I have got a new TC which I will be setting it up for the first time. I have a very old beetle router. I would be using the TC as a wireless hard drive and also as my WiFi Router. After reading the setup guide, I am confused about which option to choose. Moreover, available references on the internet do not provide any clear-cut solution.
    My basic aim is to replace my router with the TC and use its in-built WiFi hardware. Since I have an EPSON printer which is connected to my router wirelessly, I am not willing to change its settings. Please guide me which option to choose regarding the same.
    Thanks in advance

    Since you have a modem/router, you must continue to use the Beetel modem/router on your network.
    The Time Capsule can connect to the Beetel modem/router using a wired Ethernet cable connection and produce a separate wireless network.  You would NOT want the Beetel router and Time Capsule to both try to produce the same wireless network if they are located close together, since this will likely create interference problems that may prevent devices from connecting to either the Beetel orTime Capsule wireless network.
    The exception to having the Beetel modem/router and Time Capsule produce the same wireless network would be if you can locate the Time Capsule at least a room or two away from the Beetel modem/router.  An Ethernet cable can be run up to 300+ feet or about 100 meters with no signal loss, so you should be able to locate the Time Capsule anywhere you want.
    Are you able to consider this option?
    Another option.....if you cannot locate the Time Capsule in another room......would be to configure the Time Capsule to use the same wireless network name and password as the Beetel network and turn off the wireless on Bettel modem/router.
    Important.....there is no guarantee that the printer will be able to connect to the Time Capsule wireless network, so you should expect to start over and set up the printer again.
    Yet another option would be to turn off the wireless service on the Time Capsule and use the Beetel wireless to back up your computers to the Time Capsule, which will act as a wired hard drive for the network. If you select this option, the Time Capsule can be located close to the Beetel modem/router.

  • Time Capsule Backup Problem (frist time)

    Hi,
    Background information,
    I am using a 32 day old 2TB Time Capsule, The Computer I am using is a white Macbook early 2009 - 120 gb HD and i have USED 80 out of 120 -  , it is connected via wifi to a ADSL +2. The Time Capsule I am running is connected directly via the modern to the TC using a ethernet cable. I have the latest version if OS X Lion and the latest update and firmware of TC. I am backing up directly to the TC’s drive.
    The Problem,
    A couple of days ago i started to do my first backup of my Macbook, I started at 8 am in the mourning in which it took till 10pm at night using wifi, i am un-bale to use ethernet cable... However this backup did not fully complete and at around 4pm that same day when I was trying to backup It said it had only "5 seconds left" until it started to increase the amount of data that the TC had to backup. It got to 10pm and fail the first backup with an error message, which I do no have, I think it is something to do with the disk being disconnected. So I tried again the next day, when it started the gage said it only had to backup initially 250mb, which i would assume this means it's completed it's first backup, as the day progressed it still was backing up, and was presenting the same issues as before, that is it said it "only had 5 seconds left", however once again it began showing that it had to backup more data, at the end of the day it had to back up 6.5 gb which it did but hadn't fully finished.
    A quick side note: I have been able to successfully make a backup on a early 2010 iMac.

    The first Time Machine backup of a Mac will always involve transferring a lot of data.  Over Wi-Fi that means it will take a long time.  I'm not sure why you say you're unable to use an Ethernet cable, but I recommend that you use one for that first backup.  Connect it just before you go to bed, turn off Wi-Fi to assure that it's really using the Ethernet connection, and start the backup.  It should be complete by the time you get up.  At that point you can disconnect the Ethernet cable, turn Wi-Fi back on, and do all future Time Machine backups over Wi-Fi.
