After apple repair TM creates new backup set instead of recognizing past on

I took my computer in to the apple store for a repair and now it refuses to use my old time machine backups and created a completely new set that took up another 80GB on my harddrive. is there any way to get it to use my old backup, because I can't afford to have it use that much extra disk space.

thanks but that code doesn't seem to work. I get back a bunch of errors but I tried this other method I found in the discussion boards and it seemed to work. Time Machine is trying to backup right now, we'll see how that goes.
by the way, the other method I tried is here:

  • HT201250 How do you let time machine know that a restored drive does not need a brand new backup set and just append to the old one?

    I had an external drive failure and had to buy a brand new drive.  I was able to restore my info onto a new drive, about 1.5 TB of data.  When I go to launch time machine now with the new drive connected and my backup connected, it treats the new drive as if it had different data and wants to create a whole new backup set when it should just append.  How do I get around this?
    I could just reformat the backup drive and start fresh again but would rather not do that if I can avoid it, just in case there were errors in copying etc.

    Hi
    I should have been more clear, sorry.  I work from a laptop.  I have 2 external drives - one for my projects which failed but has since been replaced and restored from a backup.   My 2nd external drive  is the time machine backup drive.
    When my project drive crashed, I bought a brand new drive and restored it using my time machine backup drive.
    Now the data exists on 2 drives - the time machine backup drive, and the new drive.  When I connect the backup drive now, it thinks my new drive has new data, probably since it is a new device/drive, and wants to do a brand new backup, when in fact the data already exists on that very drive.  It shouldn't have to back up all 1.5 TB when nothing has changed!
    Unless there is a way to tell time machine to simply append to the old backup, I think it will try and do a new backup (1.5 TB).  I'm thinking maybe I should just initialize my time machine backup drive now and start over so it is only one backup set of 1.5 TB instead of (2) sets of 1.5 TB!

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

  • Creating new "Collection Set" deselects everything for no reason.

    In Library mode: Creating new Collection Set performs "Select none" (changes source) for no reason.  A new set cannot contain photos (until it has a collection) so there is no reason to change source to it yet.  It is behaving as if it were a new collection.  I often select photos first, then decide whether they need to be in a collection.  If I need to first create a set for it --I lose the selection before I can place them.
    Is this "as designed" and am I overlooking something?

    If Verizon sent you an STB, it should have been delivered via a delivery service (they use UPS around here). Included in the paperwork should have been a return label that would allow you to drop it off at any UPS store, and the return shipping would be free.
    If I were you, I would keep whichever STB and remote look to be in better condition, pack up the other one with any accessories they demand to have returned, and drop it off at whichever service delivered it. Make sure to get and keep some kind of confirmation number that the delivery service has received the box. Though I've never had any problems myself, I've heard a few horror stories about Verizon claiming to have never received the returned merchandise and trying to charge the customer for it. Better safe than sorry.

  • Shortdump when creating new Application set

    Hi All,
    We have a newly installed BPC system (BPC 7.0, SP 02).
    We are facing issues when creating new Application Set. Although on the .Net server it shows that the creation of appset was successful, in SM37 Copy AppSet job is terminated with Shortdump "Raise_Exception, X_Message". 
    I can see the new appset in RSA1, however not all dimensions and applications are copied from Apshell.
    I've seen SAP Note: 1420399, which says that this type of issue happens when the user does not have sufficient access. But we are facing same issue with admin user who has full access.
    Any pointers in resolving this issue would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,

  • Help creating apple script to create folder and set access levels

    I'm trying to create folders in FileMaker Pro using apple script and need some help in setting the access level for the folders.  I want to set both Staff and everyone to Read and Write access.   Secondly I would like to have a function key set on the desktop to create new folders and set that same access level.  The default access is Read and I can not find a way to change that.

  • Cant use existing apple id or create new one on a new ipod, why ?

    Hello, my friend has been using my Apple ID but now he bought a new iPod and he wants to have his own Apple ID but also transfert everything from his old one to the new one. However, when trying to set up the new iPod, it won't take my Apple ID or create a new one and i don't understand why. I think to transfer the datas, i have to restore using his old one's name and that's it ?.But when he puts iTunes on his own computer, is everything gonna be transferred from his iPod to iTunes ?

    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them and can't be transferred between acounts
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

  • Time Machine completed a verification... must create new backup??

    I just saw a notice on my headless MacMini that "Time Machine completed a verification of your backups. To improve reliability, Time Machine must create a new backup for you. Click Start New Backup to create a new backup. This will remove your existing backup history. Click "Backup Later" to be reminded tomorrow.
    That sounds ominously like it should have said "Time machine encountered an error, and you're going to lose all your history when I start a new backup for you, but you really have no choice other than to delay the pain for a day".
    This is a relatively new 2Tb capsule, model A1409, from 9/7/11, which is backing up a Mac Mini (new as of April) and a new MacBook Pro (as of May).
    Is there any way not to lose that backup history? Any way to debug what happened so I can take steps to make sure it doesn't happen again?
    Thanks!
    Steve

    Bob,
    After re-reading my initial reply, please do NOT think I was saying that "you" didn't answer my question about what happened.
    I was trying to imply that sunspots and cosmic rays are indeed sometimes part of our life in IT, and that I was just going to "accept it, lose my history, and go on".
    I do truly appreciate help, and would have hated to have you think that was directed "at" your reply...

  • Create new backup point

    How do you create a new individual/independent backup in iTunes for the iPhone, so that that specific backup never gets updated again? When I click on the "Restore from backup" by right clicking on my iPhone in iTunes I have about 5 backups in there from different dates. For example, I have a backup dated Jan 14 2009 that never gets updated anymore, but I know I can revert back to that date if I need to. For the past few months, no new backups have been created, and instead I have regular iPhone backup that gets updated every day. I'm worried that if I have to restore my iPhone, and then I accidentally sync my empty iPhone, I'll have lost all my data because it will just replace the default backup. Is there a way to manually create a new backup that will then never get updated again, for archival purposes? I've tried the "Back Up" option, but that doesn't seem to create a new backup point.
    Thanks in advance!

    For some reason iTunes seems to overwrite the existing backup with a new one, unless (as has been noted) there is a firmware upgrade. It is possible to keep some old ones and force a new backup file....
    Go to the backup location (mac is similar):
    C:\Documents and Settings\<name>\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    And notice the folder names - Noticing the naming convention.... The folder without a numeric ending is current. It is possible to give it a time/date ending and then it will not get overwritten. So if you have a bunch of folders, take the one without a numeric ending, copy it and just add "-20090321-091358" to the end of the copy. To the system it is no longer the current backup, but it was made on date-time.
    I have done this successfully quite a few times - I usually do it before a firmware upgrade, just to make sure.
    Before you backup again, look at the backup list in iTunes and you should see an "old" backup with whatever date and time you gave it. Your next backup should be the same alpha-numeric string and no date-time.

  • Time machine created new backup file

    After migration, time machine created a new data file in time capsule. How do i instruct it to access the original? Thanks!

    I ejected the USB drive and turned it off, erased the Timemachine.plist file from the shared directory and then turned back on the USB drive. I then went into Timemachine and turned the program back on. Timemachine then started a count down sequence and then automatically started the scheduled backups. The problem is fixed.

  • VERY hot macbook after apple repair

    I recently took my macbook to apple to get it repaired, as a few cracks had appeared by the hinges and screws, the main casing (including keyboard) and monitor casing were replaced, I got the laptop back today, and having used it for a while, it has got very hot (in excess of 100 degrees!) which is very unusual as it never used to get hotter than 80 before the repair (I use a free tool called Temperature Monitor by Bresink, I don't know how reliable this is but I know it never used to go past 80), so I'm just wondering if this is something to be worried about, but the fact that i nearly burnt my hand is reason enough to be worried.
    I also noticed that when i booted windows (boot camp, windows 7 32-bit) for the first time after the repair a few drivers were installed, at the time I just assumed that it was because components had been disconnected then reconnected, but would apple have changed any of the components?
    Thanks

    Read my tip:
    http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=3461358
    Unless something happens to indicate a hardware issue, don't create a problem by trying to modify how the machine cools itself, except with exterior ventilation additions, or better heat conductors.

  • Error create new Application Set based on ApShell (BPC 5.1)

    On BPC 5.1, I'm trying to create a new Application Set based on Apshell, called "UFG".
    At the step where the OLAP database is created, I receive an error message stating the following.
    Error message:The ApShell Role role referenced by the CubePermission permission does not exist in the UFG database.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Time machine backup files gone and can't create new backup

    Last week I noticed on my Time Machine backup HD that the Backup.backupdb files were gone.  Also I am unable to complete backups any longer.  I get an error "The backup disk image “/Volumes/Time Machine-2/walle.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1)."
    This Volume "Time Machine" is connected to an Airport Extreme 7.6.1. I have ejected the disk, disconnected all users, cycled the power on my computer (2.26Ghx MacBook running 10.7.5), Airport, and HD. All it does after I eject is that it give the Volume a new number...ie instead of "Time Machine" it becomes "Time Machine-1"...then "Time Machine-2" and repeates the error message with the new name.  So I cannot start a new backup because of the above error on top of not being able to find my old files.
    Thanks for the help

    Hmmm.. sorry to jump in but...
    I Wish I had seen this before I got mine.
    Mine has been doing this auto eject stuff too.
    I think I just plugged it in and TM let me select it but is it possible
    I should have reformatted it with DU first, like with all the WD drive problems ?
    Is it too late for that ?
    Or just try to return it or get rid of it ?
    TIA

  • MacBook Pro dies quicker after Apple gave me a new charger?!

    Hi all,
    I was hoping I could get some assistance! I have a mid 2012 MacBook Pro. Last month, the cord on my charger broke. Apple gave me a new one (the half with the brick on it/the part that goes into my laptop). After I started using that charger, my laptop dies much quicker now (3-4 hours vs 7-8 usual hours). Is it because of the charger? Or does my laptop need a new battery? Any thoughts/opinions/suggestions? Please let me know! Thanks!

    Are you taking your battery run time from the graphic in the menu bar or is that the actual run time?
    Try a SMC reset:

    If there is no change, run an Apple Hardware Test.  That may offer a clue:

    Open Activity Monitor to ALL PROCESSES and look for any application that may be using a lot of CPU resources.
