After lion upgrade time capsule no longer backs up

Time capsule no longer will back up after lion upgrade is anyone else having this problem?

The Time Machine application is part of the Lion operating system, so you will likely get a faster and more informed response if you post in the Lion support area for Time Machine. There are a number of posts there with issues similar to yours.

Time capsule no longer backing up after 10.6 upgrade

After upgrading to OSX10.6 my time machine (through time capsule) is not backing up anymore. I can connect to the disk through finder and also through the time machine application. I can also see my backups from 10.5 and there are no issues with the wireless or router.
During attempted hourly backup the error message is:
The problem may be temporary. Try again later to back up. If the problem persists, use Disk Utility to repair your backup disk.
Latest successful backup: 27/09/2009 at 15:29
it seems that i am not alone in this post OSX10.6 problem but have not found any solution yet - anyone help?

Just thought i would update after finally resolving this.
Tried many things after trawling the internet, eventually including reformat.
Established it was an error 11 via 'TM error log' and final solution was to change the names of one of my hard drives which had a '-' and a '/' in it.
These names had not caused any problems for 6 months under 10.5 but seem to be the issue under 10.6......
Time Machine has done a full backup and regular hourly ones for the last 2 days
still having a couple of spurious issues with 10.6, cannot force a shutdown from my account if my wife is logged in - i have to log her account out before i can shut down.

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!?

Time Capsule No Longer Backs Up First Computer After Adding Second Computer

I'm new to this forum and I apologize if this has been answered elsewhere.
I have a 1 TB TC. I used it to begin backups on my MacBook Pro (OS 10.5.6). I did the first backup on 1/4/09 and, up until today, it has been working very well, with hourly backups, as it is supposed to. Today, I added my wife's PowerBook (also 10.5.6). After the first backup (by ethernet link), it now performs hourly backups on hers. On my MacBook, however, it reports "preparing to backup" for hours, with nothing happening. Again, everything was fine on my computer, until I added the second one.
Any idea what might be happening?
Thanks,
Marty Hewlett

Problem is solved. It turns out that I had three events that occurred, only one of which caused my problem. As you suggested, adding a second computer had nothing to do with it. A second, unrelated issue had to do with my Cannon scanner driver. An old driver version was producing the Console readout about vendor and device. The real issue was that I had experienced a screen freeze and had to to a forced restart. That likely produced the "deep transversal" discussed in the link to which you referred. In any case, waiting an appropriate length of time finally produced the back up. Everything seems normal at this point. Thanks for the help.

Macbook Pro heating up after Lion upgrade (time machine)

Hello,
After the upgrade from OS X Snow Leopard to OS X Lion I noticed my mid 2009 macbook pro 13" started heating up quickly. After some time trying to figure out what could be the cause I found TIME MACHINE to be the point. The automatic backups takes much longer than on SL, sometimes never finishes. Then I have had to turn time machine off. But this isn't the way I want to go on my Mac.
Any suggestion about this? My backup device is an USB HDD connected to an Airport Extreme.

Removing all old Snow Leopard backups and starting new backups from the scratch (with Lion) seemed to fix the problem.

After Mavericks upgrade Time Machine isn't Backing up anything

Hi Folks,
after being a happy newly upgraded Imac (late2010) to OS X Mawericks, in the last days I'm angry because I'm not able to obtain a valid backup with Time Machine on a 1TB Time Capsule.
Since the middle of last week something happened and backups do NOT finish, time machine hangs for hours.
I get weird results and reponses from what I see on time machine preferences screen.
It starts backing up let's say 180MB, the first 100MB are saved in a reasonable time,then the amount of data that needs to be saved increases to maybe 212MB
but the amount of what is already being saved reaches for ex. 130MB then everything is slowing down... Time to finish backup is to be calculated again and there it stays... Hangin for hours, days... Sometimes finally time machine gives an error saying backup couldn't be completed.
I've tried also to connect timecapsule via ethernet cable, (thinking of a wifi problem) same things happen!!!
Tried to delete whole time capsule backup (anyway no valid backups are shown also older ones from a later date than Mavericks update).
Tried yesterday a disk check with disk utility over wifi and the TC disk is perfect!!
Today I want to try with a USB direct attached Disk, but I have a feeling the problem isn't the HD.
I was looking also for clearing Time Machine Cache, DB or something like that.
I'm worried that something would happen to my internal disk during this time with no backup!!!
Any clue, advice or things to test??
Will be apreciated.
Marcel

Update!
Bought an USB Disk to backup and it Worked! ...at least I have a Backup.
I left Timecapsule inside TimeMachiine configuration to be used alternating with USB disk and doing Backup, unfortunately there no Backup has finished. Most of the times I've needed to stop since it was hanging, some other times I've got an error Message.

Time capsule no longer backing up

I recently got this error message: The backup disc image "/Volumes/Data-1/"my computer name's" macbook pro.sparsebundle" is already in use."
anybody see this or have advice.
It backed up fine last night but wont back up again.
Thanks in advance
Marc

This is a common bug in Lion and Mountain Lion.
Often, simply powering off the Time Capsule, waiting a minute, and powering it back up will get things going again.

Time Capsule no longer backing up either of my Macs

I have two Macs. A MacBook Pro and and iMac. The MacBook Pro is a replacement of an older MacBook Pro. Both were backing up fine for two years prior to my replacing the MacBook Pro. The new MBP has not backed up since I incorrectly chose "Create a new backup" when I first brought it home. Now it thinks that it is a third Mac to backup, and there is not enough space on the TC. iMac had been continuing to backup fine on TC. Yesterday though, on the iMac I moved around a ton of files (while organizing) including emptying a folder that was on my iMac desktop that contained hundreds of files, videos, etc... and moving those files to my Documents, Photos, Movies folders in my Home folder. Since I did that the TC will not back up the iMac either. So now I have two Macs and TC will not back up either. In both cases I get the message that TC does not have enough space to backup the computer. I have no idea what to do next. Is there a way to start over and erase the entire TC? Is that the best course of action now? If so, is there a place where that process is explained step by step in non-technical terms? I have no idea what bundled files means, sparse this or that, etc... Thanks.

Between having a whole extra sparse bundle, and moving lots of things around so Time Machine backed-them up again, yes, you've no doubt filled-up your TC.
First, turn Time Machine OFF on both Macs.
The simple solution is to just erase the TC and start over. See To erase everything on the Time Capsule’s internal disk in #Q5 of Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule. Connect one Mac at a time to the TC via Ethernet (1-3 times faster than WIFI) for the first backup.
For something a bit less drastic, but more tedious, connect the iMac via Ethernet (same reason), and do the following;
Delete the sparse bundle for the old MacBookPro, via the Finder. See To delete all the backups for one Mac in the above article.
For the data you rearranged on the iMac, delete all backups made of it in the old location, per #12 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
In addition, consider the size of your TC vs. the size of the data on your Macs. If the TC isn't well over twice the size of the total used on both Macs, your best bet might be to connect a USB drive to the TC's USB port. Continue backing-up one Mac to the TC's internal HD, but back the other one up to the USB drive.

Time Capsule no longer backs up since I've moved

Hi all,
this is the second time that this has happened. My TimeCapsule was working fine, with no issues, until I boxed it up because I was moving to another apartment. I set it up on the other end, and re-established my wireless network (still with the same name) just fine, but the TimeCapsule will no longer perform backups because it says that it can't find the backup drive!
First it will say that :"there was a problem with the network username or password" and it tells me to go into the Preferences and to "select the network backup disc and re-enter the correct username and password." Which I do.
From here System Preferences will try to find the disc when I click "select disc," and one of two things will happen: it will find the disc, I enter the password, ask it to backup and it fails, OR I get the spinning beachball forever and System Preferences stops responding and I have to force quit.
I don't get it. Literally the ONLY thing that is different is the fact that I moved 16 blocks, and I changed the wi-fi password. Everything else is identical to how it was before! Why can't it perform a backup, and why does my SysPref freeze up half the time!?
Any insight is appreciated.

HT201250 Time capsule no longer works after upgrading to Mavericks

I have upgraded to mavericks and my time capusle no longer back up. Will Apple be sending out a fix. Forums show lots of apple apologists trying various work arounds and some losing data. When will Apple be sending out a fix.
First Mail was crashing and with the new fix finally Mail is working ... when can we expect the fix for TC and mavericks.

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the word "Starting" (without the quotes) in the String Matching text field. You should now see log messages with the words "Starting * backup," where * represents any of the words "automatic," "manual," or "standard." Note the timestamp of the last such message that corresponds to an abnormal backup. Now
CLEAR THE WORD "Starting" FROM THE TEXT FIELD
so that all messages are showning, and scroll back in the log to the time you noted. Select the messages timestamped from then until the end of the backup, or the end of the log if that's not clear. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message.
If all you see are messages that contain the word "Starting," you didn't clear the text field.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don't post many repetitions of the same message.

After lollypop upgrade I can no longer transfer files from LG g3 to windows8 computer using USB charge cord. Can I roll back to Kittcat?

That is definitely odd, grantcool. Let's help restore this important data transfer feature. To confirm, when you connect the USB cable to your phone and computer > Pull down the Notification Bar > Select USB Connected > Can you choose Media Sync (MTP) ?

Time Machine lost all backups after Lion upgrade

After Lion upgrade TM asked me to perform a 13 hours backup; I've agreed but now the oldest backup is 3 days ago. What is happened?
Please can somebody help me?
Thanks

I can't help here, but before I upgraded my old G5 (OS 10.5.8) TM popped up a message saying that old files had just been deleted. That was what TM does when its HD is getting full. But this was strange because I knew that I had lots of TM space, and since the last use of the conputer (about 2 hours before) I certainly had not saved to the internal HD several GB of files. To my astonishment, all but the last 4 weeks of files had been deleted, back to Jan 2010! GetInfo said that the space left was about the same as before the incident, whereas it should have shown a huge amount of free space.
I deleted all the remaining backup files and started again. It shook my confidence in TM's ability ot provide a reliable backup system. Now I regard it as a useful source of recovering old versions of files (eg., text, images etc.), rather than as a means to restore the system hard drive. Fortunately, I have been using Carbon Copy Cloner for years to make bootable backups of the whole system HD which can then be used, by simply cloning back to the system HD, to get back to work using the state of the HD when I last cloned. Alternately, the clone on the backup disc can be simply examined in the Finder to recover individual files.

After installing Mountain Lion, my Time Machine won't back up ... says the sparsebundle is in use

After installing Mountain Lion, my Time Machine won't back up ... says the sparsebundle is in use

Standard problem in ML.. apple do not seem to want to recognise.
Reboot the TC .. if that fails restart the whole network in correct order.. modem.. router/TC... clients.. with 2min gap.
There are other suggestions like changing the password.. all they do is the same as reboot.
Read C12.. most quoted Q in pondini website history. This is asked 10 times a day.
http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
Here is another way to get a useful utility in ML.. rather than toyland version.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.

I DVD Soft Frame template issue after Lion upgrade.

Hello, I've just updated my os to Lion but the Soft Frame template in iDVD, (7.1.2) is no longer working correctly. The light coloured background which covers the right hand side of the frame is missing and has been replaced with black. This issue effects sub menus as well. Existiting and new projects using Soft Frame suffer from this problem... Any ideas would be gratefully received! I have tried re installing iDVD but this had no effect.

OK I fixed it, sort of. The .tif file which provides the background image had disappeared. Even deleting IDVD and its themes and re-installing didn't work. So here's what I did:
1) Make a new background. This can be any graduated colour field which you can make on any paint programme such as GIMP. However I grabbed the background from the `Forever' theme which is beige and adjusted the hue to turn it from brown to the blue which was close to the old 'Soft Frame' backing.
Here's how to find the 'Forever' background:
Go to your hard disk and look for Library/Application Support/iDVD/Themes/iDVD7/Forever-Main.theme
CTRL click on it and select `Show Package Contents'
Expand the contents folder and then the resources folder and look for the .tif file marked Forever-Background.tif
Drag this into your photo editing programme and change the colour to what you want.
Save the new file as tpt.tif on your desktop (there is a reason for this filename)
2) Replace the defective backgounds in the `Soft Frame' themes
Go to your hard disk and look for Library/Application Support/iDVD/Themes/iDVD7/Softframe-Chapters.theme
CTRL click on it and select `Show Package Contents'
Expand the contents folder then the resources folder and look for the file marked tpt.tif and delete it
Drag the tpt.tif file you saved to your desktop into the Resources folder
Now do the same thing in Library/Application Support/iDVD/Themes/iDVD7/Softframe-Extras.theme
And do the same thing in Library/Application Support/iDVD/Themes/iDVD7/Softframe-Main.theme
Next time you launch iDVD it will pick up the new backgrounds.
It took me about 10 minutes.
Now I've found where the backgrounds are stored (if you select Project...project info in the iDVD menu the media pane lists the full path) I realise it is easy to put your own backgrounds into any of the existing projects.
I hope this helps.
