Can't enter time machine if switched off

I have been using TimeMachineEditor for years to get only backup a day. But, after finally moving my previous backup to my new time capsule, I find that I can't enter time machine unless it is turned on in system preferences. This never happened before and I'm wondering if anyone knows why. The editor only works (although it isn't working at all at the moment) if time machine is turned off.

Thanks for the reply and I'm thinking that you are right that Time Machine is just buggy. I do have the latest version of the editor and I don't think the editor is at fault. I just did a backup, I think, but when I enter Time Machine it goes into waiting mode which means it can't find the backup even though the Time Capsule is mounted on my desktop. When I try double clicking on the file in the finder, it tells me that Disk Image can't find the resource. Later it will likely work again.
I bought the Time Capsule because I was wary of using a third party networked drive any longer since it erased all my backups a month ago and started over. But it looks like Time Capsule is no better and may even be worse at the moment.

Multiple Yosemite woes: programs won't start, can't enter Time Machine, etc.

Hello Linc et al.,
I have been having Yosemite problems similar to those discussed elsewhere (e.g. iMac 27" late 2013 and Yosemite) (albeit with 10.10.1, Mid-2010 MacBook Pro): can't enter Time Machine, although it seems to be backing up; programs including Illustrator, EndNote, and Boinc don't start, or only after an hour or two (others, including Microsoft Office, seem okay). They will start normally in safe mode, but not for a newly created user. Many permission repairs carried out (seems okay except for a couple recurring printer-related messages), disk is okay, PRAM and SMC reset. Spent some time with various tech support, so most of these have been tried several times.
The solution here com.apple.xpc.launchd & com.apple.mdworker.bundles pollute logs with errors worked through one restart - there were two mystery uids, owning many files - but not through a second.
I have followed the permission repair procedure from another post (discussions.apple.com/message/27015992#27015992); the initial return was 639, and now it is 0. Restarted since then, nothing appeared to change.
Below is what I get from the test suggested in the first thread mentioned, I hope there is something informative here! I'll study it myself, but don't know what might or might not matter.
Thanks,
Barbara

Can't enter Time Machine

New MacBook Pro, OS X v10.7.2. I can't enter Time Machine. I've been backing up regularly to my external drive, plugged directly into my Mac. It seems to be backing up just fine. I try to Enter Time Machine, and nothing happens. No error message, and obviously no Time Machine. Without an error message, I can't figure out what to fix. Ideas?

Restarting fixed it. I tried it after following a More Like This thread. I swear I looked before I posted! Thanks, dannyson, for posting and fixing the same issue.

Can't enter Time Machine on a remote Mini

Using ARD 3.2.2 on a MacBook Pro (10.5.5), I'm able to access (control, send files, etc.) a Mini (10.5.5, ARD 3.2.2/firewall is off). However, while controlling this remote machine, the control session sort of freezes up after I enter Time Machine on that Mini.
After pressing esc, I regain control of the Mini.
Why can't I see Time Machine?

Hi ...
Been having the same problem with my colocated MacMini @ macminicolo.net. But with some help from the tech there, he gave me a great solution. We tried using the VGA adapter that came with the Mini & rebooting, but that didn't do the trick. He then remembered that some of his Unix box customers sent him a custom made dummy VGA adapter that worked for them. He had a spare one. We tied it and it worked like a champ. I was able to get into Time Machine remotely for the first time since setting it up ... and see all the graphics and buttons in TM correctly.
Here is the URL < <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://">http://tvtool.info/go.htm?http://tvtool.info/english/dummy_e.htm > to the article on how to build your own adapter. All you need is a VGA connector, its housing and three 75 Ohms resistors. A little soldering & you're done.
I'm off to Radio Shack to get the parts right now.
Hope this helps.

Time Machine - can not 'Enter Time Machine'

Back ups seem to prepare and progress and complete successfully and are visible on the TM Drive.
Everything worked fine, and then one day, I can not remember if there was anything I did or installed that may have changed this, as one does not know to check it all the time, other than to see the cool transition...
When I click on 'Enter Time Machine' or on the TM Icon in the dock, The screen flashes once, a window of desktop contacts flashes once, and then finder restarts with nothing having happened. It does not enter the Time Machine GUI.
I have searched high and low on discussions, no-one seems to have encountered this before. What can I do ? Anyone seen this , Any Ideas ?

Mmmmm how will i ever get time machine to work again ?
I don't want to re-install the Mac Os.
you don't want to but you might have to. I've never seen anything like what you describe. you can try reselecting the TM drive in TM preferences and see if that does anything (I expect not). you can also try setting up TM with a different drive and doing a full backup. see if it works there. if it doesn't, I don't see any options besides reinstalling.
P.S. do you have any antivirus software? use Filevault?

Can't "Enter Time Machine" on an older G4

I just installed 10.5.5 on an older G4 tower (AGP Graphics). The G4's original 350 or 400 MHz CPU has been replaced with a 1.2 GHz CPU. 10.5.5 and Time Machine backup are working without a whimper.
However, when I attempt to Enter Time Machine, the frontmost Finder window changes size, and a copy of the window appears in the center of the screen. But Time Machine's star-field background and the bottom and right side controls do not appear.
My guess is Time Machine wants more graphic power than the built-in ATI Rage 128 Pro.
I don't care about Time Machine's fancy graphics. I just want to be able to find and restore files. What can I do?

I am having the same problem with my MacBook Pro (512 MB VRAM GeForce) when I try to restore my mail. I have only the Mail.app window above my desktop without the Dock and Menu bar showing. I can't do anything else except pressing the escape key to exit time machine mode. I don't have this problem when restoring other files.
So, I don't think it's a graphics problem but I couldn't figure it out. I just discovered the problem today and didn't find any solutions on the internet.

Can not enter time machine

I'm able to make backups but when I click "Enter Time Machine" or if I try to go to Applications-> Time Machine... nothing happens. I need to restore a malfunctioning application and I really need to figure out why this won't work. I appreciate any guidance.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
As Guest, test. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on some Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.) Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Can I turn Time Machine on and off

I will be doing video editing and do not want Time Machine to run when I am editing. Is there a way to manually start Time Machine backup when I am done editing.
Thanks
Kirk

Open Time Machine Preference and turn TM off. Go back to the TM Preferences when you are done to turn it on. To initiate a backup immediately, ctrl-click (or right-click) the TM icon (top menu bar or Dock) and click Back Up Now.
Excellent idea to turn it off when video editing. I do the same thing as well.

How can I enter time machine and recover my Files.

I recently had to take my imac in for the seagate replce issue that Apple had, and recieved my machine back with a new drive and OS on it. When I plug in my external drive with my backed up time machine files, I am still unable to enter time machnie and recover the files. Please experts give me some help.

See Pondini's TM FAQs for starters.

Should Time Machine Be Switched Off When Using FCE?

I have just started using TM and wondered whether its hourly backups are likely to interfere with the operation of FCE and similar apps?
I suspect they won't but as it's something new to me, I thought I had better get an expert opinion.

The Time Machine forum has an excellent FAQ submitted by Pondini.
In it he mentions what would appear to be an excellent free app for myself and others using Final Cut etc.
This is the TimeMachineEditor which allows you to customise TM so that you are not stuck with the automatic hourly backups and can arrange more suitable times or intervals.
http://timesoftware.free.fr/timemachineeditor/
This is the interface which can allow backups at 2, 3, 4 ........ hourly intervals or daily etc. at a specific time.

Using "Enter Time machine" with Mail does not show 'restore' tab

I recently upgraded to 10.5.6 and while in Mail, I used the menu 'enter time machine' and instead of the familiar animation, the preview pane of the mail showed the message "click restore to restore your mailbox 'x'" BUT THERE WAS NO restore tab!
I only had my original desktop background with the Mail preview panel in the center.
I took a screen shot but don't see a way to attach images like on other boards.
In all other applications, 'enter time machine' would switch me to finder and go through that great time machine animation with the 'restore''now' and 'cancel' tabs at the bottom.
Anyone know why this has happened?

Hi Barry,
Sorry to confuse anyone. What I meant was that with Mail.app in front or focus, if I click on the TM icon in the dock OR if I use the menu bar TM icon and from the pull down if I choose 'enter time machine' Then all that happens is the Mail window shrinks a bit, the dock disappears, in the Mail window, in the preview panel there is a grey message saying 'click restore if you want to recover your inbox' if I highlight another folder or mailbox I created it says 'click to restore that mailbox'
But there is no "RESTORE" to click anywhere. I can see my desktop background and the icons of files on my desktop. It looks as if Mail window shrunk a bit onto my desktop with no dock. Hope that gives you an idea.
With any other application as focus, when I click on TM icon in dock or the drop down menu from menu bar, it switches to finder, then goes through that breathtaking animation of the whole desktop dropping down and the finder window trailing into infinity.

I have a new mac book pro/LION and can't access my back up data when I click on "enter time machine". I need the back up data that I could access on my old mac book pro (that is now broken). Tnx so much

I have a new mac book pro/LION and can't access my back up data when I click on "enter time machine". I need the back up data that I could access on my old mac book pro (that is now broken). I can only access time machine back up data that I've obtained since starting the new mac book pro. Tnx so much

Try doing a click-and-hold on the Time Machine icon in the Dock, then select "Browse Other Time Machine Disks".

Why can't I enter time machine?

There are lots of possible reasons.. without more info we cannot help.
What OS is on the Mac?
Is this a new setup and has never worked? Or an old setup that has stopped working?
Is mavericks involved at all? Did you clean install or upgrade install it?
What is the target device for Time Machine?
You might like to read some yourself..

Can't use time machine due to corruptness even after reinstalling snow lepoard how to fix?

Yes, someone stole my original apple id in 2009. Now i bought another iphone in late 2012 , Created another apple id due to Apple not being able to help me access my original apple id. Which now since 2 months ago someone or company, or bank stole my second apple id. My iphone 4s with Sprint has no celluar connection supossedly due to no internet that is what sprint said but I looked it up on apple and it stated that there is a cellluar block on my iphone4s.
So I guess I will have to go in person to Sprint so they can explain that to me and why I was lied to on the phone earlier. Back to my 2nd stolen apple id that I registered my macbook,airport express router, and iphone4s and apple TV. So who ever stole this apple id obviously took over all my mac products I had registered to it. Enough about that back to trying to use time machine....Everytime i do, my macbook just starts acting all screwed up. I bought a WD external drive for Mac but I believe someone must have claimed it too. Since there is 75gb on it that I can't access. Kind of like my Macbook stating I can't save or have access to the Root . That is another thing after reinstalling snow lepoard which works great until I update it. Which is a problem because everytime I update it to 10.6.8 All the permissions are changed the graphics look horrible and I get redirected so bad its not funny. The email account is a joke. Also I notice my stationary for email is in Spanish not sure why and on Iworks the document samples are also in spanish. Now I dont speak any other language except ENGLISH AND HAVE LIVED IN UNITEDSTATES MY ENTIRE LIFE. But my internet provider Fibrant which swears they are local shows it is in the UK also when i try to access my email for that account it states it is not safe , certificate is expired and someone might be trying to impersonate my server. Needless to say it is getting old. I had this same problem with Timewarner and Att except att would just remove my ethernet driver then laugh when i would call and ask what the problem was. Then later I find out when I had DSL that somehow the phone number they had listed was change to being a digit off from my DSL account which again they laughed and thought it was funny. Enough about that. I need to know how to get access to my Apple id. I gave up on the first one but the second one I did have access to until I registered all my apple products. What is up with every thing I have with a usb port being corrupt. I have also notice anywhere in town where I live my phone is English until I come home it is arabic,hebrew , spanish any language except English. Shouldn't I be safer in my home??????????????? But I am not I am safer in town or anywhere but my home. EVerything states international in my home and this has been going on since 2009.....No one can tell me why. My power from Duke reads that OTHER Is costing me the most $$ every month what ????? This is a joke. But yet no one can tell me why or how to fix the problem. Going on 5 years , I have been cut off from everyone I know. Can't keep contacts on a phone or email accts. They all disappear. All so I am in Eastern time zone but all my computers and tv seems to think I am in pacific timezone. No one can fix this problem either. So if anyone has any suggestions on how to fix at least one of my 5 year problems I would be grateful. I try to create a new email account but either I am locked out right after or someone turns it into an alias account which doesn't help me. When I was layed off in 2009-2010 I went back to school/college. Needless to say they took my School email acct too.
Back to my iphone 4s problem. My icloud email account gets alot of spam starting about 2 months ago and I can't stop it. I try to foward it to Spam @ me but it hasn't helped.My iphone can only connect to the internet with wifi. Sprint swears that there is not a block but according to apple there is.
About my macbook and apple ID how can I upgrade my Macbook from 10.6.3 to 10.6.8 with out all the permissions being changed and corrupt?? I have tried several times and it is always the same. I won't to connect my iphone to itunes to try to restore it but it states I have to update it to 10.6.8. When I do that my computer is alot worse off. Also how can I use TimeMachine with out my Macbook getting messed up? Something in my house has taken over anything with a usb port actually years ago and probably now something kept turning all my computers and phones or any electronic I owned it to a printer. I actually can't even use a printer in my home thats the funny thing. When I try to connect one when I used windows it stated I had no rights to it and couldn't use it. Since I switch to Mac not much better. When I try to print a test page it is all crooked and too small of half off the page. So it is upsetting that I can't use a printer but something keeps turning all my electronics into printers. If anyone knows how to fix this problem that would be great or to stop all this international stuff going on in my home that would be wonderful. I try to buy brand new pcs but soon as I start them up something had already taken over. This is with nothing electronic in my home on. Turn everything that a power switch off or unplugged it. Still I lost rights and access to anything in my home. Now if I am away from my home and try to use one of my laptops they look completely different and almost usable. Unfortunately I can't afford to move. I thought about it but I am still in bankruptcy and don't have the money. In the last 4 years I have not been able to reinstall in backups that I have created. Not sure why oh wait it states I have no rights to do that. My macbook I lost access to a week after I bought it and connected my iphone too. You don't know how many times I wish I had never backed my iphone 4s to my Macbook. Right after I could not log into it. Even used the disk to reset the password nope still couldn't log into it. Try to type the formula for resetting the password and nope it didn't work either.
Any suggestions would be appreciated---Need to gain access to my apple Id that would be a great start

Didn't really read much at all of your post. Much, much too long, irrelevant details and & no paragraphs.
Can't use time machine due to corruptness
Post over here -> Mac OS X v10.6 - Snow Leopard forum
