Upgraded to snow leopard and now all my time machine backups are gone

Could this be related to the upgrade? This backup is fine as I have nothing to recover, but I don't understand why time machine won't perform an incremental backup. There are 340GB on the disk with 160GB available. The error message I receive is "This backup is too large for the backup disk. The backup requires 275.15 GB but only 160.90 GB are available." Shouldn't back up just be making an incremental backup (erasing GBS?)

Normally, yes. How did you do the upgrade? If you erased your HD, installed Snow Leopard and used +Setup Assistant, Migration Assistant,+ or just drag & drop to restore your data, everything on the disk is considered changed, so Time Machine must do a full backup.
The 275 GB figure includes about 20% for workspace, so the estimated size of the actual backup is about 230 GB.
If that's a full backup, see #D3 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum) for the common causes.
If it's not a full one, see #D4 there.

  • I recently upgraded to snow leopard and now every time i open iCal i get multiple events to update in iCal

    I recently upgraded to snow leopard and now every time i open iCal i get multiple events to update in iCal.  Except I don't know where these are coming from or why.   I've check iCal preferences and Help - can't find a way to stop this from happening automatically.  Any Clues?  Also, some of the events are already on my calendar and have been for quite some time.

    Greetings,
    What do you mean by "events to update"?  Do you mean invites to new events or changes to existing invites?
    Troubleshooting:
    1. Your profile indicates you are running 10.6.7, 10.6.8 is the current version Apple > Software update.
    2. First make an iCal backup:  Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal 1 at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
    3. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
    Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
    ---NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
    3. Launch iCal and test.
    Hope that helps!

  • Upgraded To Snow Leopard And Now The Mic Is Not Working

    I upgraded to Snow Leopard, and now my mic input is not woking on my 2 year old MacBook Pro. Can you tell me how to fix it?

    Dainis,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    You haven't provided much information so there is no way for us to trouble shoot your issue. I'm guessing you plugged a mic into the port, if so go to manufacturer of the mic's web site and see if that device is Snow Leopard compatible. Otherwise our hands are tied on how to help you.
    Regards,
    Roger

    Did you restore your phone with itunes or check new phone.  You can always reconnect with itunes and restore your phone to old settings and it should replace everything because it is on your computer

  • Can i revert to snow leopard from lion without a time machine backup?

    can I revert to snow leopard from lion without a time machine backup?

    You can with a Snow Leopard DVD, but if you don't have that or a Time Machine backup there's no way.

  • Upgraded to Snow Leopard and now Logic 9 crashes ALL THE TIME

    I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard.. and now when I open a new Logic File and hit record on an AUDIO track. It crashes. It's fine with MIDI, just crashes on audio.  It also won't bounce, and it won't save, it just freezes and vanishes.  I've spent the last 3 hours reinstalling it to no avail and have tried it with 9,0,0 and the new 9.1.4,, help!

    Probably needs the latest Pro Apps support package for Snow Leopard, sorry, I don't have the file name. There's one for Leopard and a separate one for Snow Leopard.
    Did you check to see if it shows up in Apples' Software Update?

  • Upgraded to Snow Leopard and now I can't back up

    Recently I upgraded to Snow Leopard after my hard drive crashed in my MacPro. I had the hard drive replaced and then imported the old information to the new one via Time Machine. All went well. I have been backing up on a Lacie 160 GB external hard drive for years, and like it's designed to, when it's full, the older backups got deleted to make way for new ones.
    Now when I try to back up to the Lacie since the upgrade and the installation of the new internal drive, I get error messages that tell me the device is too full, and I cannot back up.
    Does anyone know how I would go about solving this? My thought it that by deleting all of the old backups on my Lacie, I would then free up enough space for Tim Machine to start working like normal again. But I do not want to do this until I talk with people more experienced than I about the advisability of this action. Any advice?

    Hi, and welcome to the forums.
    See #C4 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).

  • Installed snow leopard and now all red colors look rusty orange.

    All I did was install snow leopard on my mac pro and now all reds will shift to orange on one display and pink on my other. I've been using the exact same setup with just leopard and didn't have this problem so I am assuming it has definitely something to do with snow leopard. Anyone else have this problem? I've calibrated to the best of my abilities but it's still present. I can actually still see reds on say, a thumnail, but as soon as I enlarge the picture it will change color. I've looked on forums and have not found a solution.
    Thanks!

  • Upgraded to snow leopard and now cannot print

    I purchased an iPhone 4S which forced me to upgrade to snow leopard. I have two Epson printers and an Epson scanner.  Now I cannot print.
    I downloaded Epson updates for the new system from the Apple website hoping that would solve the problem.  It did not.
    Current print issues:
    The print dialogue boxes look like inDesign options, not photoshop or "regular" print options.
    I cannot print :  Error:/System/Library/Printers/Printjobmgr/Contents/MacOS
    Any suggestions on what to do next?  This is very frustrating. 
    Thanks in advance.

    Open the System Preferences program and select the Print tab. Delete the printers and then try installing the printers again.
    I don't know what you mean by:
    The print dialogue boxes look like inDesign options, not photoshop or "regular" print options.
    If this persists you might want to take screenshots and include them.

  • Upgraded to Snow Leopard and now iPhoto 11 crashes.

    iPhoto worked fine until I upgraded my iMac to Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and installed iLife '11. Now when I put the SD card from my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH20 into the reader, iPhoto (9.1.5) immediately gives me the spinning beach ball until I Force Quit. Even launching iPhoto without an SD card in the slot results in an "iPhoto Not Responding" message, although when the SD card is not in, at least I can see my existing iPhoto pictures behind the spinning ball.
    The funny thing is that (1) the updated iPhoto still seems to import pictures from my iPhone 4 okay and (2) my brand-new MacBook Pro imports from the same SD card fine via iPhoto. Unfortunately, my iMac is where I want my photos stored, not on my MacBook Pro.
    I have tried various suggestions from other posts but nothing works: restarting iPhoto with Option key down and creating new library... deleting iPhoto preferences file... making sure Bluetooth is turned off. Also, I've tried opening Image Capture to import the photos, but strangely all I see is my card mounted as Canon_DC Mass Storage (although I'm not using a Canon, but my previous camera WAS a Canon...) but no photos come up in the main window and "import" is not choosable.
    FYI, the SD card says SD High Capacity 4GB Class 6 Patriot Memory. My iMac has lots of space on the HD and the memory is adequate.
    Anyone have any suggestions??! Anything else I should tell you? Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi Terence,
    Sorry, I thought importing from my iPhone was working, but it's not now. I've also tried connecting my camera directly via USB (rather than putting the SD card in a reader) but it also just beach balls endlessly until I force quit. Here is the beginning and end of the report (i've put a line in between to separate). Thanks again for your help.

  • Clean install Snow Leopard and transfer files from Time Machine?

    Hello,
    I have a computer that is getting s fresh clean install of Snow Leopard. I know how to go about doing this. However, I want to be able to transfer the files back using Time Machine. The Time Capsule has backups from 3 computers. How do I select the right computer files from the backup? The Mac Pro also has a second hard drive intsalled. Is it best to wipe it clean and then load the data from the Time Machine?
    Thanks!

    If you have a second HD with nothing on it, why not do the fresh install on that, then use Setup Assistant to bring over all the files from the HD you've been backing up to TM rather than  TM itself? That way, you have the most direct transfer and a backup of the original too.

  • Just Upgraded to Snow Leopard and some kits in my Garage Band are missing

    So I finished upgrading a few days ago. And yesterday I went to hop onto GarageBand and saw that the kit's I had from Leopard from when I first got my mac weren't installed so I installed and when I got on after the install they were all missing and gone. So...I haven't tried it yet but should I throw in my second install disk, will that get my missing kit's back or what should I do?
    Thank you for the help.

    I also noticed (having attached my first Midi device so that I can use Garageband) that a bunch of instruments is "greyed" out with a link arrow inviting upgrade to the full instal version. Rather than do that over the internet, I did a custom instal from my iLife'09, which took a while but seemed to go ok.
    Then when I tried to access the "greyed" instruments, the arrow link to the online upgrade was still required - so I clicked "yes" to that and left it installing overnight. Next time I launch Garageband, the additional instruments were no longer "greyed" out, they were missing altogether.
    The custom instal from the disk and the online upgrade have therefore left me with the basic set of instruments and no obvious way to go further. What have I done?
