Tie Machine  no longer backs up after lion install

After Lion install, Time Machine no longer backs up-will start to back up but freezes after a few kb's-spinning clock will spin 24/7 but backup is stalled

  • Time Machine no longer backs up after archive & install

    I have just had something mysterious happen to my Macbook - it spontaneously shut down, then wouldn't restart past a gray screen with Apple logo. After trying every troubleshooting page I could find, I ended up doing an archive and (re)install of Leopard on my hard drive. (btw, I ran the Disk Utility hard drive diagnostic, and it said the HD is fine, though I'm skeptical because it's making new noises I've never heard before.)
    I finished that install, restarted, everything seemed fine, and I re-connected the external hard drive that had been used for my Time Machine backups before. Now, every time it attempts to back up, it's stuck on "preparing" for 30 minutes, then starts copying SLOWLY and the progress bar says "6 KB of 10 GB." Well, I have a lot more than 10 GB to back up. Then the process halts and I get an error message: "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume." And I can't get any more specific information about the error - can't find a log file or anything.
    I know that there's a troubleshooting article about Time Machine issues with only backing up 10 GB, but mine doesn't even get that far, and besides, this is not my first Time Machine backup - I have no other external drive big enough to transfer my older data to while I reformat this drive as the support article suggests.
    I was thinking that perhaps a system setting got messed up somehow and that maybe I should just forget this archive & install thing I did and instead do a fresh erase & install on my Macbook hard drive and then restore from Time Machine's old backup (a day or so before my Macbook started acting weird). But 1. would that make a difference? And 2. if Leopard gives me an error while backing up in Time Machine, what if I do the erase & install and I get an error trying to restore from Time Machine? That would be a nightmare.
    My Macbook has always been so reliable - I'm very confused about what's going on! Any help would be appreciated.

    Hmm; the external drive had no errors, according to Disk Utility.
    Here are the time machine logs from Console:

  • Time machine no longer backs up after cloning startup disk

    I cloned my startup disk (250 mb) in April 2013 to a 500 mb disk and replaced it with the cloned disk. Before the clone, Time Machine was backing up properly to the 6tb external drive designated for backup.  Since installing the clone Time Machine has not backed up anything.  Everything (all the apps) is working properly on the cloned disk except, apparently, Time Machine. In fact, I cannot get Time Machine to allow me to make any adjustments to the settings. I went on the Apple Support website to see if I can reinstall Time Machine, but could not find anything. Any suggestions?

  • Time machine won't back up after Maverick install

    Installed Maverick today on macbook pro, then have been unable to back up to Time Machine to my Western Digital 3TB drive.  Last back up was successful just before install earlier today. 
    Time Machine Error "Files can’t be copied onto the backup disk because it appears to be read-only.
    and a second message
    Time Machine couldn’t complete the backup to “My Book”. Files can’t be copied onto the backup disk because it appears to be read-only. You may need to repair or reformat the disk using Disk Utility. If the disk can’t be repaired, you must use a different disk for backups. Open Time Machine preferences to select a different backup disk.
    First restarting after Maverick install I received an error message that the disk "my book" could not be repaired.
    When I go to get info on the external drive, under sharing and permissions it sayes I can read only, and I cant figure out how to change this everything to try is grey'd out.
    Any help in fixing the problem and understanding the issue.

    I'm also having this issue. I havn't had it before.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Time machine no longer a "timemachine" after re-installing Leopard

    Time machine worked fine on the first install but I had some network issues like not being able to connect to my iMac G5 from a Windows PC. Mac support suggested reinstalling Leopard after all other suggestions failed. Now, when Time Machine application is enabled it no longer lists a time table. Only "Today" and "Now" is shown and no times. The restore function does not work either. Disk repair utility has not been able to correct the problem and there are no Time Machine .plist files in Library preferences either. How do I correct or fix Time Machine?

    I am having similar issues with TM. After spending close to 3 hours on the phone yesterday with apple tech support and a product specialist, I was able to temporarily resolve the issue (disappearance of my external hard drive icon on the desk top and in finder). I asked the specialist if I should just disable TM and not use it until Apple provides a fix to all of the problems, but all he could say was, I can't advise you on that. I have turned TM off, but did not deleted the TM files from my external HD and the problem started again this morning. I need to go into Monitor to fix this, but forgot the codes they gave me to fix this problem, so i have to call in again!

  • My MacBook Pro is running very hot after lion install.  Are there any hardware changes that will help? What can I do to get it back to normal?

    My MacBook Pro is running very hot after lion install.  Are there any hardware changes that will help? What can I do to get it back to normal?

    I get the impression that most of the users on older hardware experiences similar temperature issues on Lion for a long time now. Awaiting for confirmation from the original poster.
    In the meantime I'm just cautious with regards to pushing the machine to such extreme temps, since something tells me such behaviour which includes monitor flickering and the likes is nothing but abnormal for any type of use...
    Any clues if 10.7.5 does anything on this? If not I'm afraid i see myself going back to SL for good...

  • Time Machine not working after Lion install

    After Lion install at first Time Machine would not back up-then it did, but backed up the entire HD-now Time Machine will no longer function in trying to retrieve any data from Mail or anything else

    After consulting with maker of back up drive (LaCie) I opted to format the drive. Lost some stuff but nothing critical. I then backed up and now all appears to be working, i.e drive is backing up and Time Machine is now functioning.

    Unfortunately, not much to go on here. There are any of  twenty different reasons why backups are not occurring, and no shortcuts that I know of to find out why.

        Feb 17, 2015, 05:36:32 PM    Self test - passed

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Shut down from safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Have an original iPhone 3G. Can you still sync iTunes (10.6) and Contacts after Lion install?

    Have an original iPhone 3G. Can you still sync iTunes (10.6) and Contacts after Lion install?

    An older iTunes will not open the library once used by a newer version.
    iTunes 10.6.3 will work with iOS6 as long as the hardware doesn't post-date the release of 10.7  Use iTunes 10.6.3 on both machines.

  • I can't find iSync after lion install

    I can't find iSync after lion install. I try too sync with my N8 Nokia. The program iSync dont appear in program mapp.

    It's Apple's software not yours and as shown by it's exclusion on the OS X Lion pages is not part of the new OS. Upgrading to Lion is optional.
    It's a trivial matter to copy it back from your Snow Leopard backup, but using it under Lion is not supported at all and WILL stop working sooner or later.
    Why would it be sensible for Apple to include software in their new OS that they know will stop working?

  • Office not starting after Lion install - PowerPC issues?

    I have an Intel MacBook Pro (Intel Core 2 duo)
    It was running OK on Snow Leopard.
    I had Office (do not remember exactly which version, but recent).
    After Lion installing, I cannot open any more any of the Office applications.
    This is the message I get
    You can't open the application Microsoft Excel because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
    What is worse is that not even the Microsoft Autoupdater opens up as well.
    I never used a powerpc chip. I am surprised to read in the System Information that this is the setup for Excel

    As the last line (above) states, you are using Office 2004, and that will not run on Lion, upgrade to Office 2011 or Open Office or Neo Office or Libre Office.

  • No sound in garageband after Lion install.

    No sound in garageband after Lion install, can anybody help please?

    12 hours ago my midi played through Garageband with no problems. Today it does not play. The Garageband window shows that the keys are being played.
    In the moments following I turned on iTunes and all was fine so I burned a disc in my usual factory installed burner, late 2008 iMac, and the message was "no disc burner found". I turned iTunes on and off and same message. Ran Disc Utility and no flags. I am using the Disc Utility that is on my desktop. Is there a hidden Lion disc utility? Nothing worked unless there is a hidden function.
    I was able to burn using Toast. This would indicate that the problems is with iTunes 10, OS 10.7.1
