Can't get more than one month of backups with Time Machine

I seem to be having persistent problems with TM. I have a 1TB HD and in the past I have been able to get up to several months of backups from around 140GB with exclusions. However, lately I seem to be plagued with "SystemFlipper" messages that start a full backup and result in the removal of previous backup such that I seem unable get have more than just over one month of backups.  This seem to occur mostly at the first backup of each day and then works fine for each subsequent hour after doing the "Full Reset" as per Pondini (http://pondini.org/TM/A4.html). Other days it seems to work fine.
I have been reviewing other related discussion in this forum and cannot seem to find an answer. It is possibly to do with residual pre-Intel programmes is the best I can determine, but the problem is how to find the culprits in my list of applications either remove them all together or transfer them to another HD I use for non-essential data and files. I have done this for a lot of other data and have added exclusions for some file that were giving me identified issues.
Would appreciate any suggestions as I'm getting a little frustrated at having to do a reset so often, and  not being able have a greater time period of backups given that there was a time when I had nearly a year's worth.
Thanks, Dave

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

  • How can I get more than one firewre port ?

    Hello,
    how can I get more than one firewire port ? I'd like to be able to connect my canon HV30 camera as well as my firewire external HD at the same time so I can use firewire to upload the videos I've taken. Is this possible?
    TIA

    Hi ginestre-
    Many FireWire hard drives have 2 firewire ports so that you can daisy-chain devices and connect the camera that way.
    Daisy-chaining is not the most reliable method, but it works, so you could buy a FireWire hub.
    Luck-

  • I can't get more than one window of Firefox to open no matter what I try. Help!

    I recently had a virus and had to do a system restore to about a month ago. After the restore everything worked okay, except for Firefox. Now I can't open more than one Firefox window at a time and the window that is open is having a bunch of problems (right clicking won't open things into tabs, the back button isn't working, etc.). I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, but that did nothing.

  • Can not get more than one computer to access internet

    using airport and can not get more than one computer to access internet wirelessly... currently airport is in bridge mode and internet sharing is set to "off" in network preferences...
    help - what should the settings be in airport and network preferences?

    are using internet connection as dhcp?
    Yes.
    bridge mode seems to only work with pppoe connection to internet which is what my set up is
    But you've never said why you're using bridge mode (I'm not), which -- as I've explained before -- is probably the reason you can connect only 1 client at a time.
    If you'll setup the AX as a regular, main base station, connect using DHCP, and share IP addresses, you should be fine.

  • Can't Open more than One Internet Browser at a Time

    I bought a Toshiba laptop this past spring which I use, offline, at the office.  i've had a problem with it since the day I hooked it up to the internet the first time.  I can't open more than one internet browser at a time.  Windows 7.  I had need to get online with it today and had forgotten about this problem.
    I called Toshiba and they wanted to sign me up to some fee-based service.  They said, without checking anything (or even asking me who I am, or what my computer serial number is) that I had a virus.  Is there a virus going around that causes this problem?  IF so, how could I possibly get it considering I bought this computer in a sealed box?
    My AV software does not pick up any viruses.  I use Avast.
    Can anybody help me? 
    Thanks.

  • Can I use more than one bluetooth device at a time with my iphone4

    Can I use more than one bluetooth device at a time with my iphone4

    Anthony
    I have a Plantronics 975 earpiece that works very well with my Razr.  I
    just got a Panasonic KX-TG7873S phone system for my home, it has a
    "Link-to-Cell" cellular convergence solution, from what I understand it is
    just Bluetooth enabled.  I have paired both device with my Razr.  In
    settings, Bluetooth setting, both device show.  But only one device can
    connect at a time.  If my Plantronics is connected and I choose the
    Panasonic device, the Plantronics device disconnects and the Panasonic
    device then says it is connected.  Both devices work when they
    are connected.  Is it because they are both "headsets"?
    So, to have to remember to connect to one or the other device, depending on
    weather I am coming or going is not practical.

  • HT1657 Can you rent more than one movie at the same time?

    Can you rent more than one movie at the same time on itunes?

    I think Justin is correct and you should have statistics in place and a reasonable partition scheme so that the optimizer selects the correct partitions rather than telling it what to do. You paid a lot for partitioning after all.
    There are some, possibly misguided, examples in the manuals showing how to create a view so you can delete from a single partition without specifying the partition criteria in the delete statement. This in effect turns partitioning back into DIY partitioning i.e. separate tables, union all and pretend its a single logical table using a view. But backwards.
    So to do what you want you just assume the partitions are separate tables, and then use union all to glue the ones you want back together.
    select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2000)
    union all
    select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2001)
    union all
    select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2003)
    union all
    select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2004);It probably goes without saying that as well as making the expensive version of partitioning behave like the free alternative, there is the possibility that it will perform like it as well.

  • HT5019 MacPro laptop display and 2 external monitors (three displays). Can I have more than one application displayed at a time?

    I would like to have my MacPro laptop display and 2 external monitors (three displays). Question, how can I have more than one application displayed at a time? IE: I would like email on one monitor, Finder on my laptop, and iTunes on the other. Possible?
    With extended desktop, it appears that I can only have one application presenting at a time. Sort of defeats the purpose of having multiple displays.
    I am using the HDMI and the mini HDMI connectors.

  • Can I get more than one account on iphone microsoft exchange server

    Hi all,
    I was trying to get more than one account on iphone microsoft exchange server for mail, but it seems to only accept one. Is this true with everyone else out there. I guess I am one of the few people with more than one email account that uses microsoft exchange. I would love to have the convience of accessing them through iphone mail but it seems that I will be forced to use safari for the other two by typing owa... in the url.
    any workaround to the one email account per iphone policy??

    Yu can only have one Exchange Server account per device. This is true to iPhone and any Windows mobile device in the market. The work around is to set your other accounts that reside on an Exchange server using IMAP or POP settings as you used to do before the Version 2 update allowed you to sync directly to the Exchange Server. This methode will allow you to add as many accounts as you want or have.

  • How can I see more than one month history in safari?

    I need to see the safari history longer than one month. Can I change that?

    For previous history entries, no, unless they're stored in a backup.
    For future entries, choose Preferences from the Safari menu, click on General, and increase the time before they're removed.

  • Contacts & iCloud: can you have more than one iCloud account syncing with Contacts on the Mac?

    I want to set up a shared iCloud account for multiple users in a (very) small office environment, where several new iOS devices and, for the moment, two Macs (2012 13" MacBook Pro and 2013 Mac Mini) will be able to read/write to a shared Contacts account – and at the same time maintain a second, personal iCloud account linked to the same Contacts app on one machine, which account's contacts data will remain private and inaccessible to the other Macs/devices which are likewise using the shared account.
    Can this be done? (I.e., can Contacts app on a Mac include separate iCloud accounts?)
    If so, how to set it up?
    Thanks

    Thanks for your answer. There's no problem with others accessing that Mac – it's used by one person only – my question is can you add a second iCloud account to Contacts. Over the past two days I had tried to add the shared iCloud account to Contacts and kept getting failures. But maybe the server was down or the ISP was weird: your response assumes it can be done and so, to my embarrassment, I tried again just now and violá, it's done. Thanks again.
    P.S. Finding a simple presentation that makes clear you can have more than one iCloud accounts syncing to Contacts at the same time was very hard to find, either from Apple or others on the web. Maybe I don't know how to search, but they could do with a clear explanation of this for the uninitiated.
