You didn't have enough battery power left when performing the update, and it died? That's bad.
You should be able to reinstall OS X using OS X Recovery or in the case of an older MacBook Air running Snow Leopard, by using your original System Install DVD and Remote Install OS X from another Mac.
Reinstalling OS X does not erase your user accounts or data.

  • Is there any way to create a time machine backup to an external hard drive with content already on it?  I have a hard drive that i have used for pictures but when i try to run a backup it says i need to start from a blank drive. Can i get around it?

    Is there any way to create a time machine backup to an external hard drive with content already on it?  I have a hard drive that i have used for pictures but when i try to run a backup it says i need to start from a blank drive. Can i get around it?

    It would be much better if you had separate drives for the pictures and Time Machine backups.....but, if you want to use the same drive for both purposes, temporarily move the folder with the pictures to another location for safe storage.
    Run the Time Machine backup on the hard drive and verify that everything is working correctly. Time Machine will format the disk for you in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as part of the backup process.
    Then move the folder with the pictures back to the hard drive with the Time Machine backups.
    When you have tested to make sure that everything is working again, then and only then should you delete the folder with pictures from the temporary storage area.
    Again....it would be much better to keep Time Machine backups on a drive just for that purpose, and other data on another drive for that purpose. This is clearly one of those times when the fact that you can do something does not mean to imply that you should do it.

    If you feel you have been ripped off, you should take the matter up with

  • Time Machine Backup Stops Unexpectedly

    My Time Machine backup has worked pretty much without a glitch for years, but two days ago it stopped working.  About the time it stopped working, I was burning a number of discs with iDVD.  Some of the burns were not successful and required that I reboot the computer (iMac updated to 10.8.3 this morning) in order to get the disc to eject.
    When Time Machine starts running it says that there is 62GB of 1TB available on the backup drive and that there is 1.19GB to be backed up.  At some point, the amout of data to be backed up starts increasing and eventually gets to a point where it exceeds the 62GB available.  Then this message appears:  "The backup disk ran out of space unexpectedly. Time Machine will try to make more space available by removing expired backups during the next scheduled backup."  It looks like the oldest backup is from June, 2010 and I see no problem with deleting these old backups, if necessary.
    I suspect that iDVD has created some file somewhere that needs to be deleted, but I don't know where to look.  I have updated my OS and rebooted the computer, but this has not helped.  Does anyone have any ideas?  Thanks!

  • I have just taken delivery of a brand new 15" macbook pro, tried migration assistant from a time machine backup, music, photos, programs etc. They now take up 350gb of my hard drive but the files are nowhere to be found? can anyone help?

    Set migration assistant to run whilst on a lunch break, given that it needed 2 hours or so, when i returned all programs and applications had moved across from my time machine backup of a now dead 15"macbook pro 2009 edition running snow leopard...When i look at my new system information it shows my new 500gb drive is full of music, movies and photos and has only 168gb free, not enough to run a new migration and i don't have any boot disks for Lion so really don't want to erase the hard drive. To compound the problem i'm in Vietnam where there isn't a genius bar just around the corner, or even an aasp within 700km - what should I do?

    Is the HDD in the 2009 15" MBP dead?  (The original source of your data)  If not, you might want ot take it out and put it in an enclosure.
    You might try spotlight on know files to see if that gives you any clues where your data is located.
    You might down load from the Internet OmniDiskSweeper (free) and open it.  It should show you all of the files you have on your MBP and enable to locate them.
    Ciao.

  • HT3275 "The external disk must be erased before it can be used for Time Machine backups because it has an incompatible filesystem." What if I don't want to erase the disk?

    I'm trying to use Time Machine on my Macbook (which is a year old) to back up onto a 1Tb external hard drive. I have 860 Gb free on the hard drive. But for some reason Time machine presents me with the statement above. How can I back-up my laptop without clearing out the data I already have on the hard drive?

    Time Machine must back up to a hard drive that has been formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Your drive is likely formatted in FAT 32.
    If you want to use the drive for Time Machine backups, you will have to erase it and reformat using Disk Utility on your Mac.
    First, move the files that you do not want to lose to another temporary location and test to make sure they are OK.
    Second, erase the drive that you want to use for Time Machine backups and format it for Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    Third,  move the files back to the hard drive.  Test  to make sure they are OK. When you are sure that the files are safe, you can erase them from their former "temporary" location. (Although I do wonder how you are backing up these files).
    Time Machine will not touch the other files that you have on the hard drive.

  • Time Machine Not AVAILABLE !!! Why EVERYTIME I upgrade, this happens and I have to always start from scratch!!!!!

    Apple is SO good on some things and SO TERRIBLE on others. EVERYTIME I get a new macbook pro and/or upgrade to the new OS, my time capsule Time machine backup ALWAYS screws up.... It is so frustrating. So when I try to back up, it says the " the backup on TC is already in use  "....
    Everytime. Does anyone know how I can use the old backup so I just continue on. I really hate having to reset and start over again.
    I have an external hard drive connected to the Time Capsule so It is recognized by Finder. I can click on TC and then see the "xxxx.sprsebundle with today's date. But it won't connect.
    I really would appreciate it if someone can simply explain why this happens and what, if anything I can do about it.
    Sincerely,

  • First Time Machine Backup- Stops Backing up at 51.9 MB

    Hello-
    I've tried setting up Time Machine so many times...with no success. During the first initial backup, it gets to 51.9 MB then stops, well actually, it doesn't do anything different, it says it's still loading, but it's not.
    Please help...

    Have you checked your hard disk is formatted as GUID ?

  • Time Machine backup stopped and now external HD cannot be mounted

    While I was doing a backup on Time Machine, it cancelled itself and said there was a problem with backing up my Macbook Pro. Now, when I go to Finder, I see that my external hard drive isn't mounted. I checked Finder preferences and I already have the option checked to view external hard drives in Finder
    I can view the external hard drive in Disk Utility, and I even tried mounting it from there, but it doesn't. I tried verifying and repairing, and Disk Utility says the external hard drive cannot be verified or repaired.
    My external hard drive is a WD 1TB My Book Essentials.

    There's a chance a 3rd-party disk repair app, such as DiskWarrior, can fix it, but they're expensive (DW is about $100 US), and there's no guarantee.
    You might be able to reformat it, with Disk Utility, and keep using it.  Time Machine will have to start fresh, of course. 
    Or contact WD.  The drive may be dead or dying. 

  • Time Machine did not restore my MacBook Pro, many iOS apps were missing and replaced with "?" in the dock.

    Hi all,
    This weekend I had issues restoring my MacBook pro using Time Machine. I was left with question marks in the dock for the folloing apps in Bold, the others are not on the dock but they could not be found..
    1. Safari
    2. LaunchPad
    3. Missing Control
    4. Mail
    5. System Preferences
    6. Photo Booth
    7. Terminal
    8, Itunes
    9. Disk Utility
    10. iText Express
    11. Notes
    12. Maps
    13. XCode
    14. iPhoto
    15. Calendar
    They were not in Finder, and as the Lauchpad icon was not there I could not check there either. Spotlight was not showing them either. They simply were not there on the Mac.
    I checked on Time Machine and they could not be found there either. I don't believe they were backed up by Time Machine in the first place. I do not have any programmes or applications excluded in the TM preferences.
    Its interesting that all my 3rd party apps were there, all the missing ones are from the Maverics iOS.
    I ended up having to reinstall Mavericks via a VERY SLOW internet connection and hey presto, everything came back to normal.
    It was a very tense few hours as I thought I had lost the lot, photo's and itunes collections etc.
    Time Machine is sold to us by Apple as the perfect solution to keep your data safe and recoverable.... Really?
    I do like Apple products, but this has left me a little unsure about them now, its like the trust and confdence goes when you catch your child stealing and lying to you...The confidence will come back but I guess I will always be a little warey now..
    Apple, please do something about this - I have paid through the nose for a robust system that I can rely on, not one that has aged me by 10 years...

    It appears only the applications where missing. So your own data were safe all the time. However...
    There appears to be a bug in Time Machine that causes it to exclude items that aren't supposed to be excluded. To check if that is the case, you can find more information here: http://pondini.org/TM/D10d.html
    It appears the bug is very difficult to reproduce, mainly because in most cases it is only discovered when people try to restore an existing installation.

  • What is the correct procedure to follow after restoring a Mac from a Time Machine Backup?

    Hi all,
    I did a Time Machine backup of my entire system (Time Machine Backup 1) before bringing my Macbook Pro to the Apple Store to to have it tested.   After the TM backup I wiped the laptop leaving only the OS (Mountain Lion) on it so that I could determine whether the problems with my system were hardware or software related. The computer passed all tests.
    After bringing my Macbook home I did a fresh intall of all the software and everything worked fine.  At this point I did another Time Machine backup (in the same location as the previous backup) so that if I ever had problems with my system I could revert to this working backup (Time Machine Backup 2.0).  I used my laptop without issue and created a number of new documents.  I did not transfer the documents from the previous time machine backup (Time Machine Backup 1).  As time progressed I did regular Time Machine backups (backups 2.1 etc.) installed a few new pieces of software and started having system issues again. 
    At that point I did another Time Machine backup (in the same location as the previous backups) (Time Machine Backup 3) so that my new documents would be safe.  At this point I could see all of my TM backups in finder.  Then I used Command + R while booting up and restored my system from what I thought was the clean backup (Time Machine Backup 2).  In fact it the TM backup I used was not the correct backup (It was one of the backups between 2.0 and 3 and I needed to go back further).  I was concerned, at this point, because I did not (and still do not) know what type of effect restoring the system from an old Time Machine backup would have on the Time Machine structure going forward  I was unsure whether doing so and having an "old" system backed up might break the structure so I stopped Time Machine from running a new backup. 
    When I attempted to look for one of the older versions of the Time Machine backups I discovered that there were no longer any listings for TM backups in their previous location.  In fact, the only thing I could see was one line in the place where the multiple backups were previously.  I took my laptop and NAS (where the TM backups were stored) to the Apple Store and the "genius" said something about the TM backup being "parsed"?  He also described it as a "broken window" and he "sees the broken glass but has no idea how it broke".  He also said "neither he nor anyone at Apple would be able to assist me" and that I'd have to go to a data recovery place.
    Fortunately I did use a second drive to backup the original system (Backup 1) but I really don't want to lose the files created ater Backup 2 / prior to Backup 3.
    Does anyone know what happened / how I can get my Time Machine backups back without forking out tons of cash?
    thanks

  • Time Machine Backups external drive developed problem which the disk repair utility cannot fix, so suggested reformat. I can't reformat because the "Resource Busy". How can I reformat this drive?

    My Western Digital external hard drive which I use as a Time Machine Backup stopped working. I tried repairing the disk using the Disk Utility program,but got the message that the utility can't repair the disk and to erase and reformat the disk. When I try that, I get the message the operation can't be completed because "Resource Busy", even though Time Machine is turned off. Any suggestions for repairing the drive/disk?
    Thank you.

  • Time Machine backup to my NAS drive (MyBookLive from WD) stopped working after Lion Upgrade

    After my upgrade to Lion OS, I noticed that Time Machine backup failed to connect to my MyBookLive WD NAS drive. It was perfectly working while the machine was still on Snow Leopard. This is the error I am getting.
    "The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features.
    Open Time Machine preferences to select a different backup disk."
    Any help with workaround would be greatly aprreciated. Thx for your help and support.

    OK I ran into issues.  I'm doing the play by play on Q18 for copying a locally connected backup to a network connected backup - so I start the backup with the backup disk connected to the TC and then stop it when the XXX of YYY copied shows up.  I disconnect and connect the disk directly.  The problem is I don't seem to have permission to mount the sparsebundle:
    So I get info and click the lock and enter my admin password and change the everyone from no access to read and write.  Then I try to open the sparsebundle and I get:
    So I did that twice with the same effect.  Then I noticed I can mount the sparsebundle if I leave it connected to the time capsule.  So its mounted - good.  Then I go into disk utility and try to erase the mounted "time machine backups" drive and it didn't like that much - I wish I took a screenshot but I didn't.  It basically said I can't do that.
    So now I don't know what to do.  I'm currently starting a backup set fresh and this time letting it run to completion however I excluded my entire user account so the backup size is only 25 GB.  When it finishes then maybe I can move the disk local and go in and see if I can mount the partition and erase the contents and copy over my backup file into the sparsebundle.
    So does anyone know why I can't access that sparsebundle the way Pondini says I should be able to?  Any suggestions?  If my latest attempt doesn't work then I'll just do a full backup and say to heck with my history although that would be unfortunate.
