After restoring all the System I havent enough space for another backup

I have TM in an external HD of 500GB. My iMac Disk is 250.
I perfectly restored everything and now when I start again TM it says that theres no free space enough.
I wonder why TM wants to do a completly backup, when the only thing I want is to continue doing an everyday one.

Maybe this will explain things...
*_Time Machine Always Performs a Full Backup After a Full Restore_*
Actually, this is normal. Anytime your hardware has changed, or you have reinstalled the operating system again, Time Machine will perform a new full backup. Consider the following according to the KB article below:
*Full Backup After Restore*
Bear in mind that in all cases Time Machine will perform a full backup after a full restore. This is normal. Time Machine will resume incremental backups after the full backup has completed. To view previous backups, Control-click or right-click the Time Machine icon in your Dock or Option-click the Time Machine menu extra and Choose "Browse Other Time Machine Disks," then select your previous backup volume. You will enter Time Machine and be able to browse your previous back ups and restore files. [http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1338]
So even on unchanged hardware, if you reinstall your system software and restore your user data, Time Machine starts anew, and you will not be able to resume backing up with the same history as the previous backups.
While there may be ways to fool/hack Time Machine into recognizing previous backups without performing another full backup, they are likely rather elaborate.
Ultimately, though, in a couple of months, all the effort to preserve old backups may seem pointless. After all, Time Machine will eventually purge away that data anyways as it replaces it with new files.
It may simply be easier to begin a fresh series of backups while saving the previous backups until your satisfied that you have enough history built up. Then delete the old backups.
Hope this clarifies some things.
Cheers!

    Obviously, since you purchased it, it is the correct decisions.
    Or do you regularly purchase $800 items not knowing if it is what you need or not?
    If it was the largest available, you couldn’t have purchased a larger one.

  • Not enough space for TM backup

    I recently had to replace my hard drive and installed the operating system and successfully restored to my TM backup. Now when I want to get back on the program so to speak, it tells me I don't have enough space to do it. If I used the backup that is what's on my computer, why won't it recognize it and just continue backing up like it was. Do I have to reformat and backup again?

    No, actually my hard drive went bad and I sent to Apple Care since it was covered. When I got it back it was loaded with the Leopard OS with updates already installed. I then used TM to restore to my original system configuration
    how exactly did you do that? did you use the restore utility on the install DVD?

    After both (1) changing the password for my Iphone 4S and now (2) loading system 6.1.3 for it (and restoring when Itunes said I must)
    - Itunes it will no longer restore all the apps I bought with the old psasword.
    How to get them please?
    ===========================
    Sorry - no - all well, they seem to be all coming back -  back just after I put this question.
    Mysterious to me but very satisfactory.
    Profile doubtless that of an ignoramus.

    Ok, so I was able to find one but the one i'm most diappointed is the "free music" app i purchased and it had hundreds of songs that i didn't put on my desk top to save.  So just so we're clear, I cannot get that app back again with all my songs if it wasn't in the "purchased" place?
    Also,
    my husband has a iphone 4 and i've been trying to connect it to our Garmin GPS through bluetooth.  Now both devices recognize it but once a call is made or received, nothing goes through the GPS.  I've had it working before but it was before a couple of upgrades.  It is currently on ios7.2 upgrade.  Is that why it won't work?
    Thanks

  • My iPhone 4 crashes very often (3-4 times per day) and sometimes (2-3 times per month) all my apps disappear and I have to restore them with iTunes. I downloaded all the system updatings and I also tried to restore my device, but I still have this issue

    If you haven't already, try restoring your iPhone as a new device, not from a backup, and with only the apps Apple includes. Then see if the problems persist. It's possible that a corrupted file on the iPhone is causing the problems, and that could perhaps be coming back onto the iPhone if you're restoring using a backup. Problems with an app could also be causing problems. If the problems persist after restoring the iPhone as "new", then you almost certainly have a defective iPhone and will need to contact Apple for servicing.
    If the problems go away after restoring the iPhone as "new", then you can start putting your other apps back on and see if the problems reappear; if they do, you probably have a badly-coded app.
    Regards.

  • My brother accidently reset all the system certificates how to restore them?

    my macbook pro has all the system certificates reset and i am not able to find any of the system certificates on my keychain. i tried to repair it through keychain and it told me to reinstall the software what should i do ? is there another way out of it.

    If you have a backup of your phone that predates the loss of your photos, you would need to restore your phone using the backup, you cannot selectively restore content from a backup.

    how come? Documents also have on hand to buy as photo and check the box
    So what?  The second-hand shop you bought it from didn't follow the right procedures.  You also didn't follow the right procedures to make sure that iPhone was not in Activation Lock.  It's like buying a car for cash but not getting the title signed over to you.  It's not your car if you don' have the title.  And that's not legally your iPhone if the previous owner's Apple ID is still registered to the device for Find My iPhone/Activation Lock.
    Only a proof of purchase from the ORIGINAL retail store would do any good at all.  Return the device to where you bought it and demand your money back.  If they refuse, either get a lawyer and/or turn in the device to local police.  If you're in possession of stolen property, then the cops won't care about where you got it from.

  • TS3474 my i pod is still on a white screen after restoring with the two buttons and also restoring on i tunes and it still has a white screen

    my i pod is still on a white screen after restoring with the two buttons and also restoring on i tunes and it still has a white screen

    I've been struggling with mine all morning with the same issue.
    Mine would not wake up from sleep (will just white screen).
    It will boot using a hard reset (i.e. the power button and volume down button being held down for 8 or so secs). I restored and synced it multiple times but it still has a problem waking up and just just goes to white screen.
    I saw a post suggesting a loose connection which I had my doubts about (as it will wake with hard reset) - bit BINGO! If I wake mine (with index finger) whilst applying pressure to the top of the screen area (with my thumbs) it will wake up. When I become frustrated enough I'll take it apart and see if something has become loose.
    Hope this helps.

  • WhatsApp claims I have no storage on my phone to restore a backup while I have more than enough space for the backup size required. What do I do?

    Hello community,
    I used to have storage problems on my phone, and chose to delete WhatsApp since it consumed nearly a whole gigabyte on my phone. I thought that through deleting it and reinstalling, it would get rid of the overload of data and start fresh. However, once I got to the page to restore from a back-up of my messages, I didn't have enough space on my phone. So I did further research into how to free up some space (turned out I had a lot of deleted photos hiding in my phone which should've been totally gone) and managed to get nearly 500 MB free. So I went back to my WhatsApp app, and tried to restore the back-up since it says the size of the back-up is 360 MB. However, it still gives the following error message that it had given me before:
    "Sorry, there isn't enough room on you iPhone to restore from your iCloud backup. Make room by deleting existing videos or photos and try again."
    I didn't (and still don't) understand why it says there is no room on my phone even though I had about 450 MB free. I have tried switching my phone off and then back on. Still, I get the same message. I have also tried deleting WhatsApp again and re-installing it but still I get the same message, still when I have enough room on my phone. By now, I have already consumed my storage on other apps so I don't have much space left anyway, making the error message reasonable.
    I would really appreciate if anyone could just throw me some possible solutions that could solve the problem of WhatsApp not recognizing that I've got enough space for it on my iPhone to restore all my messages. I would like them back because I have some important and nice message threads I would love to have retrieved. Remember, I have already tried switching my phone off and back on and also deleting WhatsApp when I had sufficient storage. Currently I don't have enough storage, which makes sense for the error message to appear, but if anyone gives me a possible solution I will make way for enough storage and try the solution.
    Also a weird thing is that at first, I still got notifications of messages people sent me through private chat (so not group chat). I don't know what it exactly means, but hopefully that helps with finding a solution.
    If you think that I might as well post this question on a WhatsApp forum, please tell me, because it does indeed seem like it lies on the app and not my phone.
    Thank you all anyway for reading and wanting to help.
    Shaynidw.
