Can you fix/set the time timecapsules backs up?

Hi,
Just wondering if you can set the time when time capsule backs up?
As we have 5 computers backing up to one capsule and if they all run at once our network kicks everyone off the server.

Welcome to the discussion area!
You might want to take a look at Time Machine Editor to confirm that that you can schedule backups for a given computer to occur whenever you like.

  • How can i ensure that the time capsule back up all my data?

    how can i ensure that the time capsule back up all my data and no any data missed during the back up? becz i was backing up my mac to time capsule for the first time and it takes only 5 hourse for 279GB which is doesnt make sense
    any idea, how to ensure that all my data been backed up

    well this tells you why you are having issues.. since you have a filevault and unless you are logged on as that user TM has no way to backup the vault.
    so that is why the backup is so small.
    And you cannot remove the file vault because the disk is too small.. you are in catch 22..
    You cannot backup and you cannot remove the vault..
    Login as the user who has the file vault and copy the files off the computer to a directory on the TC.. Then just delete the files on the computer.. that will then allow you to remove the file vault.
    But never  will I ever use file vaults so I am being theoretical .. please read it up yourself.
    http://pondini.org/TM/25.html
    You are not doing the background reading you need to understand what you are doing..
    read the whole of pondini's info.. or at least skim it so you know what is there.
    Avoid like the plague file vaults..
    When disks go belly up, as they always do.. your files will be lost. Somewhere they need to be stored in the clear.. so why bother .. put better security on the computer and forget vaults.

  • My Macbook Pro will not boot up.  How can I get to the time machine back up?

    When I turn on my Macbook Pro, it gets to the gray screen with the Apple logo and the spinning beach ball and stays there.  I use Time Machine with a Seagate external harddrive to back up my files.  I at first thought recovery meant using Seagates's Replica software, so I followed the instructions, inserting the recovery CD and booting up to the C drive.  The Seagate tecnical support person informed me that I was in error and that because I was using Time Machine, the Replica recovery CD would not be useful to me.  Now I have two problems.  I can't boot up, and I can't get the Replica CD out of the C drive.  So I have several questions.  How do I remove the CD?  There doesn't appear to be a place to use the old paper clip method.  Once I've removed the CD, how do I reinstall the OS?  I don't seem to have a hard copy of Mavericks that should have come with this laptop.

    Restart, hold the mouse button down as it boots, it should be ejected.

    Lets take this step by step…
    Once the disk is ejected see if 10.9 can boot normally.
    If that fails let us know what happened.
    Power off & disconnect your Time Machine disk and any other external disks just for now (so we know it is safe & not causing this issue).
    Reboot & hold alt - it will take you into the 'boot picker' it will list all available boot disks. Make a note of how many disks appear and what the names are - let us know here.
    You could try picking the 'recovery partition' if available. That should eventually show you a screen where you can select Disk Utility in the list of options…
    In Disk Utility select the 'boot disk' – this is usually the item above 'Macintosh HD' (or whatever your boot disk is called).
    Select the 'First Aid' tab
    Repair any disk damage that is reported via 'verify'. Then select the 'Macintosh HD' & repair the permissions too.
    Recovery mode explained…
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    If you have no recovery partition you can use 'Internet recovery mode' (Command+Option+R at startup) - this downloads enough to repair & install 10.9. Try to use an ethernet connection for the internet - it can be many times faster & more stable than wifi.
    Once that completes reboot, hold alt & select your main boot disk (maybe Macintosh HD) if it is available.
    The recovery partition can also be used to download & install 10.9.3. However you should probably see what state the Mac's boot disk is in. It's possible that erasing & reinstalling is the only option. If you go down this route you can restore the Time Machine backup, but it's better to see if it can be fixed first.

  • Can you transfer files using Time Machine back-up to a new computer?

    I have an early 2006 iMac and would like to get a new one. Would I be able to copy the files that I want moved to the new computer by using my Time Machine back-up? I would only want to transfer a handful of items including my iTunes and iPhoto libraries as well as my iWork files.

    You most certainly can. What you want to do is to go to System Preferences>Time Machine>Advanced> and exclude everything except the files you want to bring over. Then, plug the Time Machine Backup into the new machine and use Setup Assistant; It'll walk you through the rest.

  • After servicing my laptop recently, I can no longer find the time machine back up disk

    I recenty had my macbook pro serviced after the hard drive cable was broken. Upon return, when I attempt to back up to time machine it says backup disk not available and I cannot find any disks to select in time machine preferences. Any idea how to fix this?

    aimehunter,
    if you had Time Machine running without connecting an external drive directly to your MacBook Pro, then it must have been a wireless connection to an AirPort Time Capsule.
    Open the Time Machine pane in System Preferences. Does it show that you have a destination drive selected there? If not, press the Select Disk… button to select your AirPort Time Capsule drive. After that, select Back Up Now from the Time Machine icon in your menu bar to restart your regular Time Machine backups.

  • How can you tell where the time source is on solaris 9?

    we have a time synch issue that needs resolving and I have to check where each server involved gets its time from.
    I know in windows you just run a query of net time /querysntp
    what do you do on solaris 9?

    I know in windows you just run a query of net time /querysntpWindows has a default method of time synchronization, and your query may give you information about that. But there are other ways of doing time synch, even on windows.
    what do you do on solaris 9?Solaris 9 doesn't have a default time synchronization method set up out of the box. You have to configure it. So it depends on what you've configured. NTP is common, but not the only method.
    If you're using NTP then 'ntpq -pe' can give you information about what's happening at this point in time. I don't know whether you'd prefer that or perhaps looking at the overall configuration.

  • Can you progmatically set the scaling of a UIScrollView?

    I want to be able to scroll my view to a specific location and scale but can't seem to get this to work. I can scroll to a particular position but scrollRectToVisible:animated: doesn't seem to adjust the scale, even if the specified rect won't fit on the display. Scrolling interactively works fine. Suggestions?
    Thanks

  • Can you fix , the fact that If you leave the firefox update window open for a long period (say 20 minutes in the background), then close all other windowns, then choose to install, it uses this extra time to estimate the download?

    Can you fix , the fact that If you leave the firefox UPDATE window open for a long period (say 20 minutes in the background), then close all other windows, then choose to download update, it uses this extra time to estimate the download? (Mine said, 12 Hours to start with, but took under 2 minutes!)
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often
    == When you install update to 3.6.4 (Possibly for every update?)

    The download should happen in the background (before you get an update window). I wonder why that didn't happen for you...\
    Did you manually check for updates?

  • Airport TimeCapsule wireless works fine, but iMac can no longer find the time capsule disk for backups.

    Hi,
    I have a new Airport TimeCapsule that I set up about two weeks ago in combination with a new iMac running OS 10.9.4.  It ran fine until 2 days ago, when the TC disk image disappeared from the iMac and Time Machine was not able to back up.  I tried to find the TC in Airport Utility and it states the "Airport Time Capsule was previously part of your network. Check that it is still in range of your network and is plugged into a power outlet..."  I've tried restarting the time capsule. I've tried restarting everything in order (modem>TC>iMac) and the iMac still cannot see the TC disk.
    I've had two other issues that I will list in case they are all related somehow:
    1) The time capsule took several attempts to set up when I first bought it.  I had to reset the TC several times before I got all the way through the set up process successfully.
    2) I tried hooking up my printer to the USB port on the airport time capsule and although my MacBook could see it and print to it just fine, my iMac was never able to see it.
    The TC is hooked up to the iMac via ethernet cable.  Does any of this sound familiar to anyone?  I'm about ready to send the time capsule back and just resurrect my old airport that worked flawlessly for years.  This airport TC has been a huge disappointment so far.
    Thanks

    There are some real issues between Mavericks and TC .. (or just network bugginess!!)
    There is a heap of things you can do but it is easier to just run through the whole lot in order. None is necessarily the cure and that is why doing all is important.
    The list is in this thread.
    Airport Utility shows "unexpected error - please try again" when connecting to Time Capsule
    In your case using ethernet can be a problem.. let me say please make sure you have ipv6 set to link-local only in your ethernet setup. I usually only show it in wireless but for you it must be ethernet. The wireless connection seems to be utterly required now for connection.. and hidden away into the airport utility is a switch over from wireless to ethernet. When I made the manual setup instructions above this particular ability (or stupidity) of the Airport Utility was not apparent to me.
    So here is typical Airport Utility (AU) v6.. but it is actually working over wireless only. (The v5 utility was wireless + ethernet).
    I have an ethernet client on the network that is completely invisible.
    Click on the Other WiFi Devices (wrongly named.. it should say other devices).
    And you will see the option to choose ethernet.
    Then the AU sees the ethernet client and none of the wireless clients.. brilliant stuff eh??
    PS this is just a test setup.. never would I have any TC with such an illegal name.. But I hope it shows you what to do.
    Fix the names.. most important.. keep them short.. less than 10 characters all the better.

  • How do you set the time period on IMAP email accounts (razr maxx)

    Hi Guys -
    Does anyone know how you can set the time period that the stock email will keep the already downloaded messages for IMAP email accounts?
    Mine never seems to show more than a couple of days worth at a time. I'd ideally like to be able to see at least 2 weeks worth of messages without needing to download them again!
    On other phones I've had there was a setting in the menu, but either I can't find it...or it's not there. I've found the setting for how OFTEN it checks the accounts, but not the setting I am seeking.
    Your help is appreciated!
    Best Wishes for the Holiday Season.

    Hey Rich.  Once in 'settings,' there should be a "days to sync' under the 'data usage' section.   You don't have that?

  • Can't set the time on the 6500 Slide

    I just bought a 6500 slide and can't do one of the most basic things - set the time!
    I have gone to auto-update but it is shows the wrong time.
    At the time I purchased the handset the sales assistant turned the phone on to check if my sim card was working but he may have saved the incorrect date and time.
    I have managed to save the correct date but can't for the life of me now save the correct time.
    Can anyone help?
    So simple but yet I can't figure it out.
    Thanks.

    Hi racheljc,
    Try this:
    Menu
    Settings
    Time and date
    Time
    From there, you should be able to change the time.
    I hope this helps.

  • Why has iTunes seperated a album which I have copied over from my external hard drive into iTunes? How can you pull all the songs back together into one album again?

    Why has iTunes seperated a album into indevidual songs, which I have copied over from my external hard drive into iTunes? How can you pull all the songs back together into one album again?

    Quick answer:  Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist", or check the "compilation" flag (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085).
    If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields.  If they are not a multiple CD set you still need to make sure the disc number fields are set correctly or all empty.
