Automatic backups are not working on one drive in Mt. Lion
I am having some trouble with automatic backups from my 2009 MacBook Pro to one drive in Mountain Lion:
* The drive in question is an external 500 GB USB or Firewire drive.
* I encrypted the drive with FileVault 2
* Manual backups work fine to this drive.
* Automatic backups work fine from the MBP to my server at home (running Mt. Lion Server)
I have tried multiple iterations of deleting Time Machine preferences, and even of erasing the external drive, to no avail. The only lead I have is that the MBP logs the following error when I back up to the external drive:
9/4/12 12:01:33.899 PM com.apple.backupd[28054]: Failed to upgrade encrypted tmbootpicker.efi: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=-50 "Could not find any Apple_Boot corresponding to the encrypted volume..." UserInfo=0x7f81e28694a0 {NSLocalizedDescription=Could not find any Apple_Boot corresponding to the encrypted volume...}
For what it's worth, here is the partition map from my machine, including the drive in question (/dev/disk3):
/dev/disk0
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *1.0 TB disk0
1: EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1
2: Apple_CoreStorage 896.5 GB disk0s2
3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s3
4: Microsoft Basic Data MAXIE-WIN7 102.9 GB disk0s4
/dev/disk1
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: Apple_HFS Maxie-HD *896.1 GB disk1
/dev/disk3
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: Apple_HFS WSE-Buffalo-3 *499.4 GB disk3
The error makes sense based on the partition map, but I'm not sure how to recreating the missing Apple_Boot volume. I suspect that missing volume is causing automatic backups to fail(???). Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks.
Please find diskutil cs list output appended to this article. Well, the plot thickens. Now, automatic backups are being skipped on the server backup from the laptop. Thiis started occurring after Time Machine did a lengthy verify (fsck?) of the backup. Automatic backups are working fine from our other three computers. The server backs up to the local disk, and the other two computers use the server. I think the next thing to do is to look at Time Machine preferences...

How can I retrieve photos when it says my cloud and iTunes backups are empty or not backed up?
When I tried to update my iPhone 5s to iOS 8.1, I was forced to choose to restore or back up. Back up wasn't working so I had no choice but to restore. I lost pictures over the last two years. When I tried my cloud, there was nothing. I would get notifications that my cloud was full, but I thought there would at least be some photos in there. When I tried to restore a back up, it said the last time was two years ago. I thought when you're on wifi, it automatically backs up. I've charged my iPhone into my Macbook a bunch of times, so something should have backed up. Is there any hope for my photos?Sorry no backup - no pictures.
Yes phone will automatically backup to icloud when on wifi and phone is charge, but your phone storage was full so it stop backing up.
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview
When your phone was connected to your computer, you should've seen an autoplay which would've allowed you to import your pics to your computer as you would a digital camera Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support -
I cannot get my email forms to work for one of my live sites... They work when I published to business catalyst, now they do not. I have contacted the host and they cannot seem to see the issue, as the other sites they host for me, the forms work just fine... Please help, I am about to punch a hole through my computer...
-TravisWhatever happened, it sounds like you need to reset your phone. As contacts and messages seem to have gone they would be lost anyway unless they were on the SD card and/or backed up using Nokia Suite.
I'd suggest you reset the phone by dialling *#7370# followed by the security code which is 12345 by default (is asked). The phone will reset and you should be able to use it again afterwards.
Let us know what happens..

Today when I attempted to back up my phone and put some new music on there it did not do it how it should. I connected my phone, opened itunes, selceted my songs and pressed sync. It starts backing up everything on my phone even though there is a resent backup. So Im like, ok, well i will just wait. I come back 3 hours later to find that it just finished and that i forgot to put an albem that i wanted.
So i figure, this will be easy and take 5 minites. It did not. It backed up my whole phone again and then i noticed that it is not even backing it up, it just says it is and then never transfers the purchases. So i wait 6 hours to get 20 songs on my phone...
Any idea what is wrong or what i am doing wrong. Here is what i have tried...
Using a different computer.
Cancling backup and going strait to downloading content.
looking on google for an answer.
I have about $100-$200 worth of apps and music on my phone, and it will not transfer to my computer. Help?You can only sync to one itunes library at a time. So using another computer will delete all media content when you sync the first time.
Everytime you sync, your phone creates a backup, the old one will be overwritten. Here's what you can try: Reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes up, ignore the " slide to power off" screen.
Disable autosync, connect your phone, right click on your phone in the device list and choose transfer purchases. This will copy your apps and purchased music to your computer. You can backup manually the same way. A backup can be quite big depending on the media data on the phone, for example movies. Since a backup contains all kind of data (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766) exept media content you didn't buy in the store or photos you didn't take with the phone, make sure you have this content on your computer.
You can download apps a second time (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519) but this does not count for purchased music, you'll have to backup your purchases by yourself (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1382 or http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751)
So, if resetting the phone does not make your backup faster, restore your phone "as new phone" and sync your data back from itunes again. (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414) -

One or more hard drives in Server Backup are not connected
A year ago I moved from Windows Home Server to Server Essentials 2012 as a backup solution for my simple home configuration - 2 Windows 7 Professional desktops. It was a perfect solution and works flawlessly - and has saved my tail on numerous
occasions.
The configuration is simple - I have a internal SSD drive from the operating system and a few other applications and (2) identical 4 Terabyte internal hard drives setup as a single storage pool - configured as a 2 way mirror. Every few days when I
log into the Windows Dashboard and check out the alert viewer, I have a single error - "One or more hard drives in Server Backup are not connected". When I follow the instructions - open the dashboard, click storage, hard drives - I see a single
C drive (which of course is connected - it runs the OS) and a single D drive - the storage pool. Clicking on the D drive and "Advanced - Manage Storage Spaces" shows my single pool (a green OK) and the 2 physical drives (also a green OK).
There are no other drives attached to this server - no external USB drives, external hard drives - nothing. Why is WSE showing this message?
Matt MGo into the Server Backup Selections and reconfirm what is selected, then save.
If it persists, change the selection (remove a folder) and save, then go back in and correct it, then save.

Time Machine options are not working. I am unable to schedule automatic backups.
Time Machine options are not working. I am unable to schedule automatic backups. The On-Off button is grayed out. I can perform a backup manually.
Thanks for responding. I have an external disk with plenty of room. It is used only for backup of my computer. I get a backup by clicking on the Time Machine icon at the top of the page and select "Back Up Now." When I click on Time Machine Preferences, there is a box labeled "Options" which allows me to exclude items from backup and notify after old backups are deleted. There is no option to schedule a backup. The "OFF/ON" box is gray. For "Next Backup:" it says "Automatic backups off." I would like to turn it on.

i had a power mac g4 into which i put 3, 320 gb PATA hard drives in a raid slice config so that it worked as one drive needless to sat that i lost the g4 to a surge but the drives are good. now i have an imac, how can i recover the info off those drives. can i put the drives in external cases and plug them all in, will the imac see them as a raid slice then help please
Before you have another accident:
Buy a UPS of good quality and sufficient to your needs.
I would have to assume that the drives were connected to a PCI PATA card, hopefully. Otherwise, well RAID and having drives on the same bus (master and slave).
And no backup, none at all...
Get your hands on a G4.
Data Rescue 3 from Prosoft maybe.
If they were SATA and running on PCI SATA controller, very popular and common really in G4s, more options would be open. -
Usb drives are not working, usb drives are not working
USB drives are not working. Please help
Non of my Western Digital drives are working anymore on several different Mac computers, one Mac can still work with the drive so I am not getting it up dated to the new OS.
If they told me that all my 2 TB drives would no longer work if I got the new OS I would not have updated.
There needs to be a fix, I can't afford all new drives plus they have video on them that I need to use.
Also iPhoto and Garage Band have disapeared I can't find any trace of them??? -
I bought a new 5s and its front and back camera are not working, showing black image. My phone is IOS 7.1.2 updated, and some one insisted that its is software updation problem, and can be resolved by updating to IOS 8. Kindly suggest.
I have the same issue on my iPhone 5s
I've closed the app and re-booted the phone several times but it did not resolve the issue.
Upgrading to iOS 8.0.2 did not resolve it either.
Erasing the iPhone and restoring from a backup did not resolve it.
I'm not sure what else to do. -
Help needed I updated my ipad2 with iOS5 but few of my dashbaords (HTML5) are not working now ,can any one let me know how to downgrade the OS as we have a meeting coming up .. its urgent
Downgrading the iOS is not supported. If you are using Safari this try clearing its cache via Settings > Safari.
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. -
Bookmarks are not syncing to ONE of my Macs, but showing up on other Mac (work), iPhone 4 and iPad 1. Macs are on Mountain Lion. Tried all of Apple's suggestions - and the one Mac is still not updating/syncing Bookmarks or Reading List. What's going on? Do I have to wait to OS update? It seems lots of peolple were having issues before ML, but I as fine. Since ML, I am having all kinds of issues!
Yeah, I literally have tried everything except deleting my iCloud account (I'm close, but that would require so many changes that it is way too painful to consider at this point).
I am still waiting to hear back from Apple Support. Hopefully something can be done, or they can do a reset on their end.
Thanks for taking the time to respond though, much appreciated! -

You might try a "hard reset" where you remove battery and AC charger, hold down power button 20-30 seconds and then reassemble and turn on. Reset BIOS (F10) to default settings, too. -
