1 AirDisk, 1 Computer, 2 Users Backup to Disk... 1 Problem
I have an iMac with 802.11n and an AirPort Extreme (N) with a USB harddrive plugged into the back. My iMac has two users, myself and my wife. I have .Mac Backup doing daily backups to the AirDisk for both users. (I just backup small stuff like documents, addressbook, mail, and calendar stuff. Nothing too heavy.) Well, the Backup plan for my wife's user is no longer working. My side works still. On my wife's side, Backup is giving me this error message:
An internal application error has occurred. The destination directory /Volumes/AirDisk/Backups/test - 2007.08.09-21.04.53.017.backXX/Contents/Contents could not be created.
End backup at 2007-08-09 21:04:54.263 -0500
Lovely. The AirDisk is formatted in OS X Extended, we can both still access and edit other files which we keep there. All software is up to date. It's just a matter of Backup apparently not wanting to save my wife's stuff. The weird thing is that everything on my user account is all fine and dandy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm having this issue too. It has to do with fast user switching. When you log in, an alias to the AirDisk is placed in /Volumes. When your wife logs in via fast user switching, a second alias is created, named something like "AirDisk-1". This altered alias name causes confusion for Backup. I wish it didn't.
If you log out of your account, and then your wife logs in to hers, her backup should work. Sometimes I have to reboot to clear out all the various aliases. Plus, after time the AEBS stops sharing the AirDisk and I have to reboot it, but that's a separate issue (I think).

I installed Lion on my Mac Pro laptop. Regarding Time Capsul - I get a messaage as follows: couldn't complete backup due to a network problem. Make sure your computer and back up disk are on the same network and that the backup disk is turned on. Then try again to back up. I have time capsul turned on. bill
I have exactly same problem with my MBP and MBA, after upgrading to Lion. I've tried to fix this issue while cheking key chain issues and network setup, even formating hdd and time capsule firmware upgrade (ver. 7.6.1.). Nothing can help. It is very annoying.

My wife had an iPad for a year and synced to our computer with no problem. I recently received an ipad2 and when I tried to sync using separate apple and iTunes passwords, under her computer user name, it appears I over-road her account and synced all her apps with my apps on my iPad. I then set myself up as a new user on our computer and tried to sync. I now get the error that my iPad is synced to another library. How can I start over without erasing all my data on the iPad?
Go back to her login. Unless you deliberately erased apps, they should all be there, both yours and hers! Then, you need to set up each iPad separately. You will notice that they have separate names for that very purpose.
There is no problem with multiple Apple IDs on the same iTunes on the same computer except... Apps are permanently associated with the ID that was originally used to obtain them. If you choose to update an app from inside iTunes and you're logged into the "wrong" ID, you must log out and back in again.
On the bright side, you can configure either or both iPads to sync with apps and music and movies, etc. from either or both IDs. Further, if you choose to update the apps from the iPads themselves, there is no need to log out/in. The device handles that. All you need is the correct password. In my case, I use the same password for both IDs to make things easier. -

Hi, I try to explain my situation and all my troubles with Time Capsules.
Here @ work we have around 20 apple computers all running latest OSX 10.8.2 and I use 3 different 2TB Time Capsule to store and balance users backups.
During last 3 years some user is gone, some new arrived so Time Capsules are still storing unused and unuseful backups.
Moreover we changed computer and users would like to start brand new backup.
Is there a way to manage different users backup? I really need to delete some old Backups.backupdb folder.
If I try to access the time machine from my MBP I just can see of course my folder.
Is there out there some administrative tool to manage what stored in my Time Capsules?
I expected from Apple to have more controls on "Utility AirPort" application, but the only thing I can do on my TC disk in to initialize it... we cannot just initialize a disc every time we need to mange it.
Any solution?There are plenty of third party software..
CCC, superduper and chronosync.. being the most often quoted.. I use TM to a non apple NAS and occaionally free superduper to make a disk image.
Apple made the TC very difficult to use as you seem to want to use it.. in that, you cannot properly partition it. You can create disk images.. see
http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
Q3 he goes through setting up disk images.
If you create a disk image for each Mac, then it makes it fairly easy to delete and recreate an image when you need to. Although you are now going to use the space somewhat less efficiently in that disk images will be of fixed size. I think this is not really as big an issue as it might seem as TM handles multiple computers connecting to the TC very poorly.
I am rather more a hands on person.. I would pull the hard disk out of the TC and parition it properly on a Mac.. and put it back in the TC.. this voids the warranty of course. Which is what makes the TC so useless.. it is a sealed device.. there is no other NAS which seals you out of the hard drive to fix, format, replace, repair.
You can hang multiple hard disks onto a TC via USB.. that will work for wireless but is extremely slow for ethernet.. and certainly USB disks are not without issues.. and latest Mac OS has been making a mess of reliable connection to them..
Otherwise a Synology or QNAP NAS.. Setup different user login for each user.. then use TM or one of the alternatives. -
We're using a PXI-8185 for an autonomous experiment. We would like
to make a backup image of the disk with Norton Ghost so that if the disk
crashes, we can get a duplicate disk running quickly. I've done this
previously with the old Power Quest Disk Image program. (Which Symantec
bought and discard, eliminating their competition. Ya gotta love Symantec.)
Anyway, I've made a ghost image of a test computer using a spare
disk for the 8185, and that boots fine on the test computer. Hence
Ghost and the disk both seem to work. But when I make an image of the
8185, it won't boot. After the bios screen, it just hangs on a blank
screen. I'm guessing that NI uses some kind of disk imaging technology
to preload the 8185's, so is it possible
that that program is
incompatible with Ghost? (Ghost writes hidden ID codes to the disk, so
there could well be program-specific subtleties.)
So, the big question: has anyone made a backup image of an 8185 and
sucessfully restored and used it? Any suggestions on what might be
going wrong?
Thanks for any help. I know this is a bit distant from LabVIEW, but
this group certainly has a lot of experience with PXI hardware, etc.

Dave

There are 10 kinds of people: those who understand binary,
and those who don't.from what you put that they did to your machine they replaced the hdd and used the recovery media to reimage the drive back to factory. hdd and other hardware failures either happen very early or very late in their lives. so it is not uncommon to have a hdd that fails right out of the gate but it is much more common for them to fail later. as for getting your old hdd back i wouldnt count on it. it has probably already been sent away to be recycled.
you may not have had any problems at all with the hdd but from what you wrote that toshiba said it had multiple bad sectors. if these bad sectors are too big they will just replace it since those parts of the disc cant be used.

Where has the backup to disk option gone in iTunes 10.4?
The option to backup your library is gone from iTunes 10.4 (or at least I cannot find it) and that was a feature I used regularly as a secondary backup solution. Where has it gone? Is there no easy way to backup your library to disc now? Is the only way to backup now with time machine?
I logged a case with iTunes support and received a call back yesterday. The agent had no clue that 10.4 did not have the backup to disk function. After i insisted that it was gone, I was put on hold, and he came back with an amazing explanation. All he could tell me is that it was because the "iCloud" would now be the way for users to backup, but at a cost of course. He was unable to give any details or point me to any refrence material on this change. in my opinion, this is an amazing change in the way apple does business. Like the US congress, they changed the rules in the shadows, and did not tell anyone they were doing it. OK, i understand that tech savy users will see this as no problem, but how about good old normal Joe who is not a techie and uses the backup to disk function as his primary backup? Joe will now have to wait for the iCloud to become mainstream, wait for instructions that do not exist today and pay for the ability to backup. Apple has gone the way of all the others now, revenue befoe the customer! This is a very shady way to change a policy and changes how i think of apple as a company. When will they come clean and tell everyone about the change, and how? Bad move Apple!

I have not used Time Machine yet and was thinking of using it after I upgrade to 10.6. But, I am wondering if Time Machine will backup more disks than just the startup disk? Can I tell it what disks (or even what folders) I want backed up?
I have a startup drive plus 2 other internal drives and want to back all those up onto 1 external drive. Is this possible?
Thanks.Hi, and welcome to the forums.

DOUGGENHmmm, their info may be out of date, but their site said SSL should be OFF & Port 110.
Some notes on mail...
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.
You may have multiple entries.
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, enter the part after the @ sign in the search bar, hit enter
The Password rejection can confuse people since it's a catch all meaning...
This Password, Username, Authentication method... is not recognized on this Port to this Server, more than one entry in Keychain for each in/out entry, or a server end problem.
If using a browser to login via WebMail works it's not Name or Password, but one of the other ones.
The receiving email ports are:
IMAP is port 143
IMAP-SSL is port 993
POP is port 110
POP-SSL is port 995
Outgoing ports are...
SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users. -
I am considering installing the latest version of OSX Mountain Lion but am concerned by the number of users that have had severe problems. Has Apple sorted this out?
As I told you, you have to do some steps before upgrading to OS X Mountain Lion.
First of all, make a backup of your files using Time Machine and/or Carbon Copy Cloner. If you make both, good, but if you only make one, it's OK, too.
OS X Lion and OS X Mountain Lion aren't compatible with PowerPC applications, so you have to check if your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com If you have to update an application, do it before upgrading, because the Mountain Lion installer moves unsupported applications to a separate folder.
After doing that, open Disk Utility, select "Macintosh HD" in the sidebar and repair permissions. Then, verify the disk to check if it's OK. If everything is right, just open the App Store and purchase OS X Mountain Lion -
Backup Error - 0x810000E4 Windows Backup has encountered a problem with the backup catalog
Dear all,
I'm trying to backup my files onto a 2TB big external USB disk. My computer is Dell Latitude E4300.
When I run the backup, it runs normally but ends with this error:
0x810000E4 Windows Backup has encountered a problem with the backup catalog
When checking the zip files on the USB drive, it seems that only some of the files have been backed up. The same confirms the restore option when I browse the files in the backup.
When I start the backup again, it continues - i.e. acknowledges the files already there and backs up a additional files but again fails after some time.
Any ideas please.
Thank you,
TomasHello Tomas,
This is not expected.
Could you please collect the backup failure traces from %windir%\Logs\WindowsBackup and send them to my mail-id -

Recurring disk permission problems.
I am having recurring disk permission problems on my MacBook Air (Rev. A 1.6GHz/OS X 10.6.6).I am using Onyx to verify and repair disk permissions, but after about a week the computer seems to slow down and respond strangely. I run Onyx again, and it repairs many disk permissions, but the same thing happens again after about a week. Below is the log from a repair disk permissions that I ran through Onyx earlier today.
What can I do to fix this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Can I delete the files/folders in 'Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup'?
Hi!
I have just tried to backup and update my iphone to iOS 5.1. The backup seems to have worked but when it came to restoring the iphone, I think the hard disk ran out of space and so it failed. I saw this and so I freed up around 3Gb of disk space and I tried it again. It again failed. Again I noticed that there was no space left on the hard disk. I assumed that to continue the restore it probably won't need that much more space (as it had already done most of the work) so I freed up a few more Gb.
Again it failed. When it fails, itunes leaves the partially restored elements on my hard disk meaning that my 'Apple Computer' folder is now 28Gb!! I cannot afford to delete anything else from the hard disk. I am using a PC by the way. I have noticed that in the folder 'Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup' has 5 folders in it which is the same amount that I tried to restore the iphone (before the last restore attempt there were 4 folders). These folders amount to 20Gb. From this I am assuming that the actual backup that I made is infact in 'Apple Computer\iTunes\Mobile Backups'.
Can I delete the folders in 'MobileSync\Backup'? This would free up 20Gb of disk space giving me enough to properly restore (in theory!).
Thanks for your time!!
Nickyour advice worked for me and saved me what ever evil lurked behind my thought to just delete the backup and get back my very lmited space on my 250GB Mackbook Pro using daisydisk pro https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/daisydisk/id411643860?mt=12
Why DaisyDisk?
DaisyDisk remains the tool of choice for film makers (including companies like Pixar), digital artists, IT professionals and hundreds of thousands of Mac users worldwide when it comes to disk space management. Constantly improving since its initial introduction, the app easily blows away competition in terms of speed, efficiency and user experience.

Re: Can I delete the files/folders in 'Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup'?in response to nickcrowney
Delete iOS backups this way: iTunes>Preferences>Devices...select the backup/backups...hit delete. Do not mess with your backup folder. -
I'm attempting to create an image of my hard drive, so when i reformat i can restore my computer to the way it was before the format. The problem is, when ever i use the disk utility to create an image, it always comes back with an error message saying resources are busy. What does that mean and how can i go about creating my image???
You are probably trying to create the image on your startup volume by copying files. You cannot create an image of the OS that way. Furthermore, an image file is not bootable so even though you may create one you will have no way of restoring the image.
The proper way to accomplish what you want is to create a clone of your startup volume on a bootable external Firewire drive. You can clone the drive as follows:
How to Clone Using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the backup or destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (journaled, if available) and click on the Erase button. This step can be skipped if the destination has already been freshly erased.
4. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
5. Select the backup or destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Select the startup or source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
8. Select the destination drive on the Desktop and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. At the bottom in the Ownership and Permissions section be sure the box labeled "Ignore Permissions on this Volume" is unchecked. Verify the settings for Ownership and Permissions as follows: Owner=system with read/write; Group=admin with read/write; Other with read-only. If they are not correct then reset them.
For added precaution you can boot into safe mode before doing the clone.
Before reformatting the internal hard drive be sure to test your clone to be sure it will boot the computer. Open Startup Disk preference in System Preferences. Select the icon for the system on the external drive then click on the Restart button. Once you have started up from the external drive you can format the internal drive using Disk Utility.
Why reward points?(Quoted from Discussions Terms of Use.)
The reward system helps to increase community participation. When a community member gives you (or another member) a reward for providing helpful advice or a solution to their question, your accumulated points will increase your status level within the community.
Members may reward you with 5 points if they deem that your reply is helpful and 10 points if you post a solution to their issue. Likewise, when you mark a reply as Helpful or Solved in your own created topic, you will be awarding the respondent with the same point values. -
Computer was restarted because of a problem..
After installing mountain lion my computer started saying this to me. It seems to take a few hours for this to occur. If my computer is left running idle for hours I see this message on the screen - "Your computer was restarted because of a problem."
There are some other problems I have run into that seem to be related. I would almost say that they are all linked to my external hard drive, but there are similar problems happening that (as far as I know) have nothing to do with my external hard drive. I will relate a few scenarios (all that have happened on a regular basis for almost a month now) and how they relate.
1. I open itunes and play a song from the library. Whether it is playing or not, if I leave it idle to use another program, when I come back to it after about 10 minutes and click on another song, hit play, or pause it, the program freezes, I get the spinning wheel and it does not respond. I have to force close. When I try to open it again, it won't load. Sometimes I even get an error message when I try to reopen that say something like, "you do not have permissions on the drive or folder". All of my music is on an external drive
2. Again if left idle, Safari will freeze when trying to upload images. Now this is the one that makes me think that this is not just some annoying hard drive thing. If i try to upload something, the upload window will come up but none of the will load and then i get the spinning wheel. sometimes i can click around on a few folders. I can make it to my external drive, nothing comes up. I can make to the desktop too, but nothing comes up on that either. As far as I know, nothing from safari is on my external drive.
3. Working in FCPX or Adobe PR 5.5 yield the same findings. if the program is left alone for more than about 10 minutes, it is no longer able to run even after force closing.
The MOST annoying thing about all of this is when i try to restart or shut down my computer. It wont do it. I have to hold the power button or unplug my computer.
I was told on a similar discussion to make this and post the problem details so here they are.
Thanks

com.apple.kec.corecrypto 1.0Please read this whole message before doing anything. This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it. Step 1 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.” While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin. Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem? After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it. *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing. Step 2 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in 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.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.
