Airport Utility/Time Machine, cannot open Airport Utility
Cannot open Time Machine. I go to set up, Change Disc, click on Time Capsule and notice pops up to enter name and password. There is only space for password, no space for name. When I go to Utilities and click on Airport Utility message pops up "The application Airport Utility quit unexpectedly". Clicked relaunch and same message pops up. How can I open Airport Utility which should then allow me to open Time Machine?
Sorted, it was an issue with the channel on the TC not matching the channel on the router. I manually matched them and now all is good.

Time Machine cannot back up my Mac.
Time Machine cannot back up my Mac. Error reads: "Files can’t be copied onto the backup disk because it appears to be read-only. This was the 2nd time I tried today. The first time it said something about 'hidden files.' I haven't had trouble before.
Restart the Time Capsule. Launch AirPort Utility and check for a firmware update.

Time Machine cannot complete backup to MyBookLiveDuo
Time Machine cannot complete backup to MyBookLiveDuo
I am trying to use TimeMachine to setup a backup from a mid-2011 iMac running OSX 10.9.3 to a 4TB WD MyBook Live Duo drive on a network. I have 3 other MacBooks setup to use this shared drive using Time Machine as well as a PC using WD backup software.
The backup from the iMac is failing with a message “The backup disk image /Volumes/TimeMachine/PM’s iMac.sparsebundle could not be accessed (error(null)).”. After looking through Pondini I change the name of the iMac from "PM’s iMac" to "Family" but the problem is not fixed.
In fact the iMac seems to still uses the old machine name in the error message.
In the console I see the following messages

Time Machine cannot find my external back-up drive when I click on the "select disk" button. No drive is listed. I have run a Time Machine back-up to this external drive in the past. Any suggestions
Does the disk appear in Disk Utility?

Lost disk image in Finder (Desktop) for backup disk on Intel Mac Pro OS 10.7.3. Time Machine cannot find the internal backup disk. The volume is grayed out in Disk Utility, though it CAN verify the volume. How do I get it back on my desktop?
First, restart the Time Capsule by disconnecting the power adapter and reconnecting it. If other devices on the network can see it, you can skip this step.
From the menu bar, select
▹ System Preferences ▹ Network
Click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the window and authenticate to unlock the settings, if necessary. Click the Advanced button, then select the TCP/IP tab in the sheet that drops down. Click Renew DHCP lease.
Try again to back up. -
HT3275 Time machine cannot complete my backup
Time machine cannot complete my backup because 'an error occurred while creating the backup folder'. How do I solve this problem?
Failed again this morning. I checked my logs and one thing it showed was, "Error: (-50) Creating directory..." I saw this...

Re: Time Machine Issue-Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while creating the backup folder.
Jan 29, 2012 10:42 AM (in response to HMR529)
one thing you can try
Open system prefs and go to spotlight, in the privacy section add your Macintosh HD and any other drives you back up. Give it a few seconds then remove your Macintosh HD and any other drives you added. Close system preferences. Watch the spotlight symbol on the top menu bar "looks like a magnifying glass". It should have a dot in it as in is indexing all your drives again. When the indexing is over (it can take a long time of your drive is big) now try to create a new backup with time machine...."
As usual, it's gonna take a couple days to see if it works. I'll let y'all know...and y'all should try it also, and let us know. -
Time Machine Cannot Back up My Applications
Dear Friends. My time machine cannot back up my applications and library although I do not put them in the lists of excluded files. I have macbook pro with retina display and I use Western Digital for my time machine. Please, help!
Triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your administrator password. Reboot, recreate your Time Machine settings, and test. -
HT3275 My Time Machine cannot complete a backup.
My Time Machine cannot complete a backup. The error message reads "The backup disk image "/Volumes/Brad Blocksidge's Time Caps/Macintosh.sparsebundle" is already in use. Suggestions???
Most common error reported here.. absolutely stock standard what you expect with Mountain Lion.
Restart the TC will fix 98% of them..
Pull out the power cord.. count to 10.. plug in the power cord.
Check the info here for further info.

My time machine is sending me a message; "The backup disk image "/Volume/Data/Dave's Macbook Pro "sparse bundle" is already in use". As a result, the time machine cannot complete a backup. Any suggestions?
Look at the more like this column on the right.. this is the most common problem reported here.
You need to restart the TC.. that is all..
Pull out the power cord.. count to 10.. plug in power cord.
There are a few occasions where this fails.. see C12 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html -

My mac book air connects to my network and gets internet access but airport utility cannot find my airport base station to set up time machine
airport utility cannot find my airport base station to set up time machine
Normally, AirPort Utility is not used or needed to set up Time Machine backups......unless a default setting on the Time Capsule to Enable File Sharing has been changed.
On the other hand, if you open AirPort Utility, a picture of the Time Capsule should be displayed. Are you saying here that the Time Capsule does not appear when you open AirPort Utility? -
Mac OS 10.6/Time Machine cannot 'see' HD to re-install or restore
Upgraded my Mac Mini to Snow Leopard a couple weeks ago and had no problems. Then yesterday the computer froze up (the mouse still moved and icons in the dock expanded with the mouse but NOTHING was acknowledged when clicking to tabbing to any commands; could not even click from screen to screen for various functions that were currently open ... yet the mouse moved fine). Tried to restart computer and all I get now is a gray screen with a flashing file folder with a question mark in it.
Have tried all attempts listed here and in Support to (1) re-install Mac OS X 10.6 from the original disk, and (2) restore my computer from my Time Machine. Have tried many, many times now for both options and in ALL cases the computer cannot see or find my computer. The only disks it can find to re-install or re-store to are the 2 external hard drives I have. If I disconnect these, the computer can find NO disks to re-store to. (I've now let my system search for disks for over 3 hours this time around, and it still cannot find any disks to install to.)
So what's happened to my Mac Mini and "where" has this disk gone to? Why can't my Time Machine or Mac OS X installation disk find (or see) my Mac Mini?
(Really do need a new computer and was seriously thinking about just buying the new iMac this week, so maybe this is the sign. But would still like to get the last few files off my Mac Mini that I was working on when it crashed -- don't think Time Machine actually had time to back these up ...)
Cheers, and thanks for any suggestions and help!Karl
It sounds like you are having trouble with your internal Hard Drive.
Whilst this is quite serious, sometimes you can fully recover from the situation, depending on what happened.
One of the most useful and reliable rescue utilities is DiskWarrior:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/11707/diskwarrior
If you are lucky it may be something as simple as a damaged HFS+ wrapper, which can be repaired and have you back up on your feet again in relatively short order.
It pays to periodically check the *S.M.A.R.T. Status* of your drive, at the bottom of *Disk Utility.*
This is a self diagnosis function that may indicate impending problems. However if the disk has sustained physical damage, such as caused by a hard knock, nothing will redeem it.

Time machine "cannot be found"
My time machine disk "cannot be found". It is plugged in via USB, but doesn't show up on the finder. I have tried checking the cable, turning the disk on and off, shutting down the entire computer and turning it back on, plugging it into a different Mac, and nothing I do it working.
Is the disk dead? Is there anyway I can retrieve my pictures from it?There is a couple of thigns you can attempt, first is open Disk Utility (Applications - Utilities - Disk Utilities) and see if the disk is seen. If it is then first do both a SMC and PRAM resets following the instructions in https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3603, repeat each reset 2-3 times. Please post with the results
