After update of 10.8.3 Time Machine is too slow

Before update it was able to backup 300 GBytes in 2 hours. Now TM is trying to backup 6.81 GBytes and after 45 minutes is just in 165.5 MBytes.!!!!!

    For what the Apple Store's charge you can buy almost buy a new computer.
    Just for giggles I brought my old laptop in for a drive upgrade and asked, they wanted $600 for a drive that only cost $120 at the time and it was a slow 5,400 RPM drive. The new Mac's of a similar make were going for $1000.
    I did the drive replacement myself, got a faster drive of better quality for $300 instead.
    Then another time I asked for a RAM upgrade from 4GB to 8GB, they wanted to charge $400 + $35 for the labor.
    The same RAM is on Crucial.com for $90 and all I need is a 00 micro phillips screwdriver.
    So you see what's going on here.
    I think what you should do, if your out of warranty/AppleCare, is to call up the local PC tech guy who also does Mac's and have them fix you right up.
    They can offer more personalized care which you need. Clone your old drive to the new and everything.
    With Apple they are overworked at the Genius Bar and just place roadblocks so you buy a new machine instead.
    For instance, all new iMac's now have proprietary drive software installed on the hard drives for heat monitoring. So now the only choice a user has is to bring their iMac into a Apple Store for a very expensive drive upgrade, which a person then decides the money is better spent buying a new machine.

  • After upgrading to OS X Mavericks Time machine stops working

    After upgrading to OS X Mavericks Time machine stops backing up and sometimes hangs on ,,preparing,, for o days and sometimes stops inmediatly. Report says:
    Backing up to /dev/disk1s2: /Volumes/Backup/Backups.backupdb
    Event store UUIDs don't match for volume: Macintosh HD
    *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSRangeException', reason: '*** -[__NSArrayM objectAtIndex:]: index 0 beyond bounds for empty array'

    Is this a Firewire or Thunderbolt connected disk?  There are know issues with that in Mavericks.  If so try connecting the drive by USB as you continue.
    Is it a WD drive?  There appear to be issues with those drive on Mavericks.

  • Issues after updating iPhone3GS to iOS5 on TIM cellular data network (Italy)

    Hi everyone
    I have issues after updating iPhone3GS to iOS5 on TIM cellular data network.
    After installing iOS5 I had to switch from apn ibox.tim.it to wap.tim.it
    Since then the phone is unusable for any internet activity that is barely "data demanding" (e.g facebook app take literaly hours to update), everyting requires way to much time... the iPhone is not an iPhone anymore... it's worse than my blackberry with just GPRS on it.
    TIM technical support suggested me to switch back on apn ibox.tim.it, but then I would not be able to use internet tethering anymore (they say because of Apple iOS5) ... to bad I need internet tethering for work.
    I am seriously thinking to switch ISP or phone.
    Anyone did experience same problem / found a solution?

    Hi Raia.D,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The first thing I would suggest is to restart your iPhone.  Then tap the Settings app, and you should see Cellular listed on the main settings screen.  You should see Airplane Mode, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and then Cellular.
    Here are some additional troubleshooting steps to try:

  • Time Machine is super slow, or fails since 10.5.7 update

    Ever since updating to 10.5.7, Time Machine has become virtually unusable. I'm backing up to a 1TB Time Capsule. All backups either fail or take hours and hours to copy a small amount of data. If I leave it on, TM also tends to run continuously... as soon as a backup finishes, it's starts a new one. It's very common for Spotlight to have a very difficult time indexing the backup, often taking hours to update the index.
    I've erased the Time Capsule (via Airport Utility) and started over. I've tried deleting / rebuilding the Spotlight index via the terminal. Neither helped. I don't know what else to do. If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.
    The current attempt to backup has been running for 14 hours. Here's the current log:

    I started over (again) by throwing away the sparse bundle and deleting the Time Machine preferences. It looks like the backup is working, but it is very slow, and the log is still showing errors. I'm guessing it's only a matter of time before it stops working again. Here's the most recent log:

  • Why is Entering Time Machine Backup SO SLOW ???

    I have been using Time Machine (TM) for almost 2 years and when I enter TM - its is SLOW when I go back the timeline. I have the email window open when entering TM and it is taking minutes to fill in only 50 or so emails (I know I have 1000's).
    Any suggestions to help this????
    I have an external hardrive for TM connected to Time capsule.
    Skip

    60 seconds !!! 
    I solved it!
    What I did:
    I interrupted a running incremental backup after 20 minutes by switching off Time Machine in the control panel. In the log the message was:
         Stopping backupd to allow ejection of backup destination disk!
    Then I rebooted the iMac from the Snow Leopard DVD and repaired the SSD and the FireWire Drive. In both cases no failures could be found.
    Then I restarted the iMac from its internal SSD and waited until Time Machine started again (after one hour). Now there was something new in the log:
                  Event store UUIDs don't match for volume: Speedy HD
                  Node requires deep traversal:/ reason:must scan subdirs|new event db|
    This backup took just 12 Minutes and was much faster than the previous incremental backups which took 30..45 minutes.
    Now I tried the ultimate thing: I ordered Time Machine to make a new incremental backup. See what happens:
    30.06.11 21:10:23 Starting standard backup
    30.06.11 21:10:23  Backing up to: /Volumes/Archiv 1/Backups.backupdb
    30.06.11 21:10:32  No pre-backup thinning needed: 1.83 GB requested (including padding), 911.84 GB available
    30.06.11 21:11:03  Copied 9117 files (647.1 MB) from volume Speedy HD.
    30.06.11 21:11:08  Copied 9365 files (647.1 MB) from volume Speedy Medien.
    30.06.11 21:11:10  No pre-backup thinning needed: 1.08 GB requested (including padding), 911.18 GB available
    30.06.11 21:11:15  Copied 2811 files (1 KB) from volume Speedy HD.
    30.06.11 21:11:18  Copied 3059 files (1 KB) from volume Speedy Medien.
    30.06.11 21:11:22  Starting post-backup thinning
    30.06.11 21:11:22  No post-back up thinning needed: no expired backups exist
    30.06.11 21:11:23  Backup completed successfully.
    I don't know what made the difference and I do not know how long Time Machine behaves well from now on. But I hope, that the problem is solved.

  • Time machine backups have slowed considerably since my installation of Mavericks -- why?

    Ever since installation of Mavericks, time machine backups have slowed to a crawl.  The message preparing backup used to to take 10 seconds to a minute, now it takes 5 minutes.  The status of the backup used to show 10mb's of 80 mb's backed up, and take under 1 minute, now it takes 5 minutes.  Finally cleaning up notice, and the time to clean up has increased significantly.  My backups go to an external HD (7200rpm) connected vis firewire 800, that has approx 180 gigabytes available of its 1 terrabybyte capacity. 

    I upgraded to Mountain Lion a few weeks ago. Everything was fine with Time Machine until a few of days ago.
    Same problem others described: extremely slow, taking hours to back up just a few MB.
    I verified the Time Capsule drive and my Mac hard drive - no problems found.
    I then erased the Time Capsule and started Time Machine. It did the full backup in a fairly reasonable amount of time (several hours, but not unexpectedly long).
    When it started its first incremental backup, it reverted to the same problem: extremely slow, but it did finish eventually.
    I then shut down the Mac and restarted (power cycled) the Time Capsule. Then I started up the Mac and told Time Machine to back up now. It backed up 30+ MB in just a few minutes, so it seems back to normal. We'll see how it goes when the next scheduled backup starts up.
    But you might try rebooting the Time Capsule (and your Mac).
    By the way, when it was in the middle of the extremely slow backup, I disabled Norton Anti-virus and it didn't seem to speed it up any. But I left it disabled after I rebooted the Time Capsule and had a successful incremental backup, so I'm not sure yet if Norton is a factor.

  • Suddenly, time machine is very slow. Used to take up a minute and now more than half an hour. Does anybody know how this can happen? Indexing the back-up disk is off, but Timde Machine keeps on indexing!

  • I've lost my photos (crashed hdd, iPhoto library on Time Machine corrupt too).  Is there a way to create a picture from the thumbnail that remains in iPhoto?  The quality is obviously poor, but better than nothing.

    I've lost my photos (crashed hdd, iPhoto library on Time Machine corrupt too).  Is there a way to create a picture from the thumbnail that remains in iPhoto?  The quality is obviously poor, but better than nothing.

    Time machine should have a good copy - how are you determining that it is corrupt
    If you want the thumbnails as photos right click on the iPhoto library and make a copy of the data folder and then import it into a new iPhoto library - it contains your thumbnails

  • After 10.8.1 update, time machine is VERY slow

    I have read in these rooms, as well as in tons of other forums, many time machine problems folks had after upgrading to ML. I did not have those problems. I use a regular external disk connected via USB. It's worked great for over a year. Since the upgrade to ML, my time machine did about half a dozen backups. They all worked at the "normal" speed that they always had. Today, I got the 10.8.1 patch, and when I started the time machine backup, it took forever. It looked like I suddenly inherited the problems everyone else had been having before. After 2 hours I had backed up about 200 MEG of the 27 GIG backup. I tried some forum-suggested tmdiagnose, and shutting Sophos, but nothing changed the situation.
    Has anyone found anything that really fixes this? Or are we just stuck until Apple believes enough of us really got broken?
    Thanks.

    Re: OS X 10.8.2
    Here are some rough comparative measurements of Time Machine/AFP throughput. Source machine is a modern iMac running OS X 10.8.2, connected through a Gigibit network to a modern Mac mini running 10.8.2 either as a stand-alone client or with Server 2.1.1. In Activity Monitor, I visually monitored the Network, getting a rough number for the average throughput. The Server software is installed on the mini's internal drive; the 10.8.2 client is installed on an external FW800 drive. The destination of the Time Machine backup is a freshly-erased 900 GB partition on another daisy-chained FW800 external drive. To switch targets, I merely restarted the mini using the correct startup volume, all other things being equal.
    APF Target: OS X 10.8.2 (File Sharing Preference Panel):
    1) Finder copy to a shared folder on the target's Startup Volume: 50 MB/sec
    2) Finder copy to a folder on an external HD (connected to the target via FW800): 35 MB/sec
    3) Time Machine: Create initial sparse bundle: 5 minutes.
    4) Time Machine copy rate: < 5 MB/sec.
    APF Target: OS X Server 10.8.2 (Server 2.1.1: Time Machine & File Sharing services enabled):
    1) Finder copy to a shared folder on the target's Startup Volume: 100 MB/sec
    2) Finder copy to a folder on an external HD (connected via FW800): 35 MB/sec
    3) Time Machine: Create sparse bundle: 30 seconds
    4) Time Machine copy rate: 35 MB/sec.
    Notes:
    1) Time Machine throughput to a 10.8.2 client is 5x slower than on Server 2.2.1.
    2) Creating the sparse bundle takes 10x longer on 10.8.2 client than on 10.8.2 Server.
    3) Time Machine throughput to a 10.8.2 client is 7x slower than a Finder copy to the same external volume on the same machine.
    4) On 10.8.2 Server, AFP throughput to the Startup Volume is almost 3x faster than to an external FW 800 drive.
    5) So worst-case Time Machine throughput to an external drive on a 10.8.2 client is 20x slower than the best-case Finder transfer to a startup-volume share on 10.8.2 Server.
    Does anyone else see these throughput discrepencies?
