After I downloaded Mountain Lion my Time Capsule has virtually stopped backing up. It took 4 hours to back up 600MB out 68 GB

Hi Everyone,
My last backup using my MacBook Pro to my Time Machine was July 23,2012 my OS was Lion. Then I downloaded Mountain Lion and it 4 hours to backup 600MB out of 68GB. I tried agian and noticed something I have never seen before, KB's. Before Mountain Lion I could backup 58GB in 4 hours. Whats going on and does anyone else have a similar experience?

Hi Pondini from Florida,
I am on my 5th hour. I took your advice and connected via an Ethernet cable . So far I have backed up 53.92 GB of 68.88GB. It's very slow but it appears to be working. I never had this problem when I downloaded Lion. At least it didn't t take as long and that was on WiFi. Thanks for your help and insight on this issue.
Regards,
Robert A. from Los Angeles

  • Mountain Lion installed Time Capsule not seen...

    After installing Mountain Lion, my Time Capsule does not exist anymore... I use TC as a router, plugged directely to my MacPro, Mac Mini, and a Wi-Fi network to my 2 MacBookPro. After this instalation, I cannot "see" Time Capsule anymore... my iPhone does not accept my wi-fi... my MacBookPros too...
    Please what happened? I cannot even creat a new Wi-Fi, because at the system preferences, network, it is no longer there (wi-fi)
    The internet itself is working, I do not know how, because the green light in TC is on, I cannot "see" TC but the internet is there... How is it possible? Time Machine also do not exist...
    Any help will be perfect.
    Thanks in advance

    Maybe they were using imprecise terminology. Seems to happen a lot.
    You can use Time Capsule without any Internet (WAN, or outside) connection. But you can only reach Time Capsule through a network (LAN, or local) connection - Ethernet or wireless. I guess a lot of people need to learn that "the Internet" and "a network" are not the same thing.

  • Can anyone tell me how to restore my itunes library and playlists? After I downloaded mountain lion my library is missing and my devices can be synced to only one library ...the missing one

    can anyone tell me how to restore my itunes library and playlists? After I downloaded mountain lion my library is missing and my devices can be synced to only one library ...the missing one

    That .itl file actually is the library -- at least the critical part of it although the library is actually many files and folders.
    Try starting iTunes and immediately hold down the option key.  When it asks, guide it to the .itl file.
    It's really hard to say without being able to poke around your computer.  Upgrading should not delete the old library, but still it happens to the very, very few which is why we make backups before updating.  If the old library file is gone then so are your playlists.  You can always see if the following is of any use:

  • Why does my mouse make blank spaces on my screen as I move it?  It started happening after I downloaded Mountain Lion

    Why does my mouse sometimes cause my screen to erase as I move it?  It started to happen after I downloaded Mountain Lion.

    You could try booting into Safe Mode to see if it fixes the problem. To get out of Safe Mode, restart as usual.

  • Time Machine has simply stopped backing up any new files. No items set to be excluded, No error messages.

    I have a Macbook with OS X 10.6.8 and a 500GB external hard drive, which still has 208.5GB available. For some reason, Time Machine has simply stopped backing up any new files (documents, music, movies--anything). No items are set to be excluded from backups in Time Machine options except for the external hard drive itself. Also, no error messages appear, Time Machine seems to run just fine, but when I enter Time Machine, or look through the files on the hard drive, new files just aren't there. I am not very tech savvy, so I was not able to understand some of the answers people gave to similar questions on here. I did go to Pondini's website and followed as many troubleshooting instructions as I could understand (for example I did manage to do a full reset of Time Machine) but nothing changed. Do I just need to erase the entire backup drive and sart all over? If so, what will prevent this from happening again later on? Please help.

    Your TM drive liekly stopped backing up because it hit a series of bad sectors on the drive, to eliminate this all new drives should be Disk Utility > Zero Erased (one step below 7x in Lion) before use.
    Reducing bad sectors effect on hard drives
    Diversify your backups with bootable clones and archives on DVD's etc so your prepared for anything, including using a PC.
    only if you have too of course, but it happens, people just can't afford a Mac anymore.
    Most commonly used backup methods explained
    So make other backups, then Zero Erase teh TM drive and set it back up again and your problem should be resolved.
    If not, then it's data corruption on your boot drive!
    You'll know if it's data corruption on your boot drive, when you go to make the clone, it will hang too.

  • After downloading mountain lion, the time machine isn't working.  Time Machine couldn't complete the backup to "Time Machine Backups".

    I downloaded Mountain Lion.  Now the "Time Machine couldn't complete the backup to Time Machine Backups.  How do I get Time Machine working again?

    I presume you upgrade installed?? Very bad.. clean install ML if you want it to work.
    Are you using a Time Capsule?
    Reset it.
    Reset Time Machine which gets very messed up in the upgrade.
    Read and apply A1, A4 and A5

  • Loaded Mountain Lion and time capsule no longer works, airport utility can't be configured, back ups have stopped, sparse bundle in use errors occur, what a mess!!!!

    Should Airport Utility now be defunct for my time capsule because I have upgraded OS to Mountain Lion? I have tried every fix I can think of but AU will not set up. I'm also getting repeated time machine back up failures and now I have a new "sparsebundleinuse" error which is totally useless to me, I have no idea what a sparse bundle is, I have no idea what it's suddenly being used by and there's no information to say what to do about it. Apple is killing me here!!!

    I've tried to but on the install for Airport Utility 6, after the download I get through the introduction then the license then I get "airport utility can't be installed on this disk. The version of Mac OS X on this volume is not supported" and that's it, no more options!?

  • I have downloaded Mountain Lion and Time Machine says that my Free Agent Goflex (Seagate) external 2gb drive cannot be used as it is read only. I tried disc utility to repair permissions but that block is greyed out. The disc verifies as being OKI

    Since installing Mountain Lion, Time Machine says says that my Free Agent Goflex (Seagate) external 2gb drive cannot be used as it is read only. I tried disc utility to repair permissions but that block is greyed out. The disc verifies as being OKI What next?

    Ok, I solved this problem! I ejected the drive and then disconnected it both from the power supply and the USB connector. I then reconnected everything and powered it up again and Then went into TM preferences and chose the drive as the backup. TM did a new backup (well over an hour) and now works as advertised.

  • HT201250 My time capsule has failed a back-up

    Having issues with my time capsule not sure what to do about it. The error message says time machine couldn't complete the backup to the time capsule (Mac mini.sparsebundle” is already in use). I don't know what this means or how to fix the problem. Any help would be appreciated.

    It means that there are bugs in Mavericks.
    The down and dirty fix:
    Make sure that no other Macs are backing up at the time
    Pull the power cord from the back of the Time Capsule
    Count to ten slowly
    Plug the power cord back into the back of the Time Capsule
    Wait a few minutes and try another backup
    Please report on your results
    Or, post back if want to try a bit more elegant "fix"

  • Mountain lion and time capsule. Extremely slow after upgrade...

    After upgrading to the new system, I was trying to copy my iphoto library to my timecapsule, but at this rate, it will be completed within 20 hours... And I´m only transferring 11 gb... I also checked my connection speed to the timecapsule and it´s at 450mb... So, why is it going to take 20 hours??? This is an issue that needs to be adressed... I have the brand new Timecapsule. It´s also not doing a backup while I´m transferring...
    Hoping this will be resolved immedately...

    I noticed that Time Machine erased all of my previous backups and started fresh.  I woudl be willing to bet that the sluggishness you expereinced was because Time Machine was making a full backup.  It proably became more quick once it finished this since it could perform incremental backups thereafter.

  • Time Capsule deleted after upgrade to Mountain Lion

    After I upgraded to Mountain Lion from from Lion my time capsule has no data. What happened and how do I get it restored?

    The Time Capsule or the Time Machine backup? If it is the Time Capsule, try restarting it.

  • Cannot download Mountain Lion- "an error has occurred"

    When I attempt to download Mountain Lion it gets to about 79MB, stops, and I get the following, "an error has occurred." No explanation of any kind. This was over Wifi, but I also tried using ethernet. Same result. This same thing happened when I updated to Lion. The same thing happens when trying to download using my laptop. The only way I was able to get LIon is to take my laptop to the library and download from there and transfer it to my iMac.  I really don't want to do the same thing for Mountain Lion. Here is my setup:
    iMac8,1 model ID
    Wifi router  - Qwest 2Wire (over 5 years old)
    Currently using latest version of Mac OS Lion

    I talked with my service provider (Qwest/Centurylink) and through some persistance they admitted that my 2wire router/modem (about 5-6 years old) has a 2GB file download cap on it. My solution was to buy a new router and modem. After that I was able to download Mountain Lion just fine. Hope this helps.

  • Time Capsule has green light, but unable to access the internet

    My Time Capsule has a green light, but all devices (wired and wireless) are not allowed out to the internet.
    When I connect my iMac directly to my internet router, I am able to access the internet, so I have isolated the issue to the Time Capsule.
    The Time Capsule receives an IP address from my internet router via DHCP and I can see this address in the Time Capsule config, but for some reason the Time Capsule is not allowing internet access to both wired and wireless clients.
    Thank you.
    --SN124B

    Verify that you have a working Ethernet cable.
    Then verify that the Ethernet cable is connected from one of the LAN <-> ports on your main router to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule.
    Check again to make sure that the Time Capsule is configured in Bridge Mode
    Power cycle the entire network as follows:
    Power off all devices in any order you want
    Wait a few minutes
    Start the modem or modem/router first and let it run a full minute by itself
    Start the main router next the same way
    Start the Time Capsule the same way
    Continue starting devices one at a time until everything is powered back up
    Check the network
