Constant errors from Time Machine with error code 36 and 8062

Hi chaps,
I have trawled the internet and spent a huge amount of time on this problem and can't seem to fix it.
This is the first backup on to a brand new external USB hard disk, formatted correctly.
It starts the backup fine and then stops and a random point normally before 5GB with the same error every time but on different files.
First it was failing on garageband so I excluded that, then it failed on a strange pdf that I can't find in User Templates which I excluded with no joy.
I've turned off spotlight for the external disk and tried several different formats, again with no success.
It first errors with 36 and then after 8062
Can any suggest what is going on please?

Are you certain? That's the most common cause of initial backups failing on a new disk (since most new disks come set up for Windoze), and has exactly your symptoms. See #C1 in the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum, and/or this Apple article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1550?viewlocale=en_US

Are you getting the messages shown in #C3 of the Troubleshooting Tip?
If so, do the things in the pink box there.

  • Can't restore from Time Machine backup error message

    My hard drive on my Macbook failed a few days ago. Just makes a clanking noise and won't boot up etc... I installed a new drive, formatted it, and selected restore from Time Machine backup from the installer screen. It started restoring from my backup I had on an external drive and everything was fine untill it got about 6% done then get a message that says "An error occured when restoring from the backup" It is pretty non descriptive. It also says please restart your system and try again or something to that effect. I tried again, same problem.  When I try to copy files over manually I eventually gets some error that says there is a problem with a file and it will quit. Any ideas on how to get my data? I can see all my files on there, but can't get them. My backup disc is just used for backup on this one machine nothing else, so it shouldn't have a problem. Help!

    Good to hear MA is doing something!
    >I have never had much luck with Time Machine...
    Same here, not one good backup or restore, can't tell which.
    You can set any of these to Clone/Update as often as you wish...

  • Console Errors from Time Machine

    Time Machine starts normally, but soon gets stuck.   No progress backing up, and the time estimate steadily increases. The console logs repeat this message every 15 seconds:

    I'm not sure what that's all about, but what jumps at me is /.DocumentRevisions-V101-bad-1
    .DocumentRevisions-V101 is your (hidden) Versions database (all the previously-changed "chunks" of files made by apps that support AutoSave and Versions).
    Seeing -bad-1 appended to the name looks like the database got corrupted internally (in a way Disk Utility can't detect), OSX renamed it, and made a new one.
    First, let's exclude that from Time Machine backups (ironically, the "good" version is excluded automatically!). See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #10 -- you'll have to check the Show Invisible Items box there, then on your internal HD, you should see the "bad" folder you want to exclude. 
    Then run a backup and report your results.

  • Can I restore Yosemite Public beta from Time Machine with Mavericks bootable recovery drive

    I had Yosemite beta running on an SSD in my Mac Book Pro. This drive has failed and is no longer recognized. I do have a Time Machine backup of this drive. When I restored it to a new SSD it would not boot.(formatted to MAC OS Extended (Journaled) with a single GUID partition)  I do not have a Yosemite recovery drive. My question is, can I boot to the SSD using the Mavericks recovery USB drive and do a full restore of my Yosemite drive from Time Machine? I am unable to re-download the Yosemite beta as my code has already been redeemed.

    Yes, this did work. I booted to the Mavericks recovery drive and pulled the backup off of Time Capsule and resolved the issue.

  • IPhoto6 - after a full reistall of Snow Leopard, iphoto does not display thumbnails. I've restored from time machine, rebuilt the library and run through the rebuild thumbnails function with no success. The files are there, I just get a dotted outline.

    iPhoto6 on iMac running SL - after a full reistall of Snow Leopard, iphoto does not display thumbnails. I've restored the library from time machine, rebuilt the library from iPhoto and run through the rebuild thumbnails function with no success. The files are there, I just get a dotted outline instead of the thumbnails. Does anyone have any other ideas on how to restore the thumbnails?

    Try the following:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Restoring from Time Machine with no Leopard install CD?

    I've been having dreadful problems with my 2006 MacBook recently, which resulted in it being sent away for repairs. I got it back today, and to my surprise and delight it had Leopard installed.
    My recent problems have made me realise how much I need a bootable backup. I had been planning to use SuperDuper to make a backup system using an 80GB firewire drive I just bought, but since I now have Leopard, I thought I could just use Time Machine.
    However, I now realise, Time Machine doesn't make bootable backups. Booting from an install DVD and then restoring would be a perfectly good solution for me, but the problem is I don't have a Leopard install CD to boot from! And I assume booting from my Tiger CDs would not help, since they won't recognize Time Machine formatted files. And SuperDuper isn't compatible with Leopard.
    So how can I make it so that my Time Machine backups are any use to me if my computer won't boot from the hard drive?

    I thought it was probably a mistake -- it was certainly a surprise -- but I don't plan on complaining. I chose to interprent it as a gesture of apology for how many things have gone wrong with my hardware in the past year (I'm on my third hard drive, second DVD drive, second main logic board, second set of connectors... thank goodness for AppleCare)
    I really want a restore-able system... I guess I'll have to think about how badly, whether it's worth my paying for the Leopard DVD or going back to Tiger!
    Thanks for your response - it's good to be sure what is and isn't possible.

  • Restored iTunes folder from Time Machine, get error iTunes Library Extras.itdb file

    I restored my iTunes folder from a Time Machine backup (due to my kids deleting some playlists, which I wanted to recover).
    After that completed, I am unable to open iTunes, I get the error: "The iTunes Library Extras.itdb file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission."
    Now, when I was doing the restore, it paused twice to tell me something like: a particular song could not be transferred, since there was already a copy of it with the same name... and something about it being case insensitive. I selected OK each time that happened, made a note of the song thinking oh well I can just get a copy of that song again if I lose it.
    Any ideas? I looked at permissions for the iTunes folder, I have read and write permission.

    Chris, thanks for that suggestion. I would still like for my kids to access my iTunes music, but just don't want them to mess with the playlists etc.
    If I set up another account, then follow the instructions here -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1203
    ... to share the library with them, I'm guessing that they could still make changes to the playlists etc? (it doesn't specify in that article.)

  • Odd sizing error from Time Machine

    Anyone seen this sort of error before. In a window, the following pops up
    Time Machine Error
    This backup is too large for the backup volume. The
    backup requires 2.2GB but only 146.6GB are
    available.
    To select a larger volume or make the backup
    smaller by excluding files, open system preferences
    and choose Time Machine.
    Preferences OK
    Is there a limit to how much Time Machine can backup in a single hit after the initially backup or some other limitation, or have I missed something?

    Made that fix and it gets stuck at this (from the log)

  • HT3275 I cannot restore from Time Machine. Error 8003.

    This is what happened in sequence:
    • I had problems with Microsoftt Word. I checked the disk utilities and got a message saying that I needed to reformat the disk. I erased the disk and reinstalled Lion.
    * I restored all my files from my external disk using Time Machine, and all the files seemed to be restored without any problem, but they didn't appear on my hard disk. Time Machine was trying to backup while I was restoring the disk, and I wonder if this could have affected things.
    • I tried to back up again, but the files in Time Machine were grayed out. I opeed a new finder window and pressed Command + shift + C, and I could see the old back up files. I tried again, but got an errror -8003 message after a while.
    " I checked the external disk with disk utility and it appears to be OK. My hard disk is also OK.
    * I tried going into Time Machine and restoring a few of the applications to my hard disk. I got a message saying they are already on my hard disk (so perhaps the first restore did work after all), but I can't see them anyway. I also got a message saying that the applications on the back up disk were locked.
    My life is on the files backed up in Time Machine. I would be grateful for any help or advice.

    I could solve the problem by restoring everything manually from my back up disk. I still have some issues, but at least all my files are safe.

  • How to restore from time machine with Lion preinstalled?

    Yesterday I got an iMac and OSX.7 Lion was preinstalled.  I set up a time machine disk and performed a full backup, and it will work for file histories, but if my main disk fails how do I restore from this time machine backup?
    I never had to restore in Leopard or Snow Leopard, but I believe the procedure was to insert your optical install and/or rescue disk and from there was an option to restore from a time machine backup.  If I don't have a rescue disc, as no media whatsoever came with the iMac, how do I perform a restore?
    I think if you upgrade to Lion it gives you a recovery partition but I don't think I have that with Lion preinstalled.  At least I can't find it.  Ideas?

    Sorry, I RTFM'd and found this:  "To open the Mac OS X Utilities application: Restart your computer while holding down the Command and R keys".  From there you can restore from a time machine backup.  Sorry for the post.

  • My time machine backup was created on iMac with Mountain Lion and my new iMac has Mavericks installed, will I be able to restore a backup from time machine to new imac and all applications work ok

    time machine backup to new iMac

    Yes, however it's always wise to update your apps to ensure you have the most up-to-date version. Use Setup Assistant to migrate your data, apps and settings to the new iMac, simply follow the on-screen directions. If the new machine has already arrived and you have already run Setup Assistant, connect the TM backup to the new machine and run Migration Assistant (a cousin of Setup Assistant) and follow the on-screen directions. You can find Migration Assistant in Applications - Utilities - Migrations Assistant or you can use the keyboard shortcut of Command + Spacebar and type "Migration Assistant".

  • Setting up Time Machine with Snow Leopard and MyBook World Edition II NAS

    I have just successfully set up Time Machine on my MyBook World Edition II NAS. It's not so straightforward, and the information on the Western Digital support site is either unhelpful or flat-out wrong, so here's a post that will hopefully save people in a similar position a lot of time and frustration.
    Here are the key facts:
    1. The MyBook World Edition II NAS does support Time Machine -- if you upgrade to at least firmware Release 1.01.14 (9/29/09). See http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/updates/?family=mbworld. Amazingly, the Level I support people at Western Digital told me that Time Machine is not supported! I had to point him to this link.
    2. MyBook World Edition II comes with a built-in user, WD_Backup, which appears to be the only user that can be used for the backup.
    3. Follow the instructions here: http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/updates/docs/en/appletimemachine.pdf. BUT, what the instructions don't tell you is the password for that user, which Mac OS will ask you for during the Time Machine setup. On my device, it was "admin" but other posts say the password can be "backup" or "wd_backup."
    4. Ignore some of the misleading statements in the Western Digital "knowledge base." For example, it says Time Machine is not supported. That used to be true but with the firmware update, is no longer true. Also, some instructions direct you to make a partition on your drive for Time Machine using Disk Utility. This is not possible, as far as I can tell, because the MyBook World Edition II shows up as a "share," not a "device" in the system, and therefore Disk Utility does not see it.
    5. The reason I wanted to set up a partition, where I could limit the disk space, is that I read that Time Machine creates daily backups, with incremental versions of documents. Thus, the Time Machine backup will eventually fill up whatever space is given to it. Since I could not partition the MyBook World Edition II, what I did instead was to enable the "Quota" functionality and then put a disk quota on the WD_Backup user. I hope this will do the trick. (I have the further issue of having two Time Machine backups, one for me, one for my wife. How our Time Machines will battle it out for the disk space, I have no idea.)
    I hope that the Western Digital people will create greater flexibility for Time Machine users in future firmware updates.
    Anyway, hope this helped.

    You do need to know that Apple may not support this: Here's the official word: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1733 (Leopard) or http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/15139.html (Snow Leopard).
    You may be able to get it to work successfully, but there's no guarantee it will work well, or in the future.
    From a post in another forum (found by V.K.):
    The technical reason why Apple limits Time Machine to 10.5 AFP volumes appears to be to prevent disk image corruption. There were additional features added to AFP in 10.5 to support Time Machine. These presumably allow the disk image engine to force disk image journal data to write out all the way to the disk. Without such features, a network interruption can result in a corrupted filesystem on the disk image despite journaling. Remember, journaling relies on the journal being written all the way to disk before the changes take place. If you can't guarantee that (e.g., because of network/NAS buffering) then the journal is useless. Time Machine appears to rely heavily on disk journaling to deal with network drop-outs, interrupted backups, and the like. Take this away and your data is at risk.
    If the NAS you are using supports these features it should report them to the OS and you should natively be able to choose that volume. If you have to trick the OS to use the volume it means the NAS does not support it.
    To summarize: if you care about your backup data you should avoid using non-natively supported AFP servers.
    That post obviously applies to Leopard; Snow Leopard appears to have added some requirements, that are also not supported by all NAS devices: some that were working with Leopard no longer work with Snow Leopard.
    As long as you understand the risks, it's your call. But do yourself a favor and maintain some sort of secondary backup, such as a "clone" via CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper, or some other backup app. (Many of us do that with any backup app: no app is perfect, and all hardware fails, sooner or later.)

  • Unable to restore from Time Machine after an erase and reinstall - MacbookPro cannot access my old Time Machine backup volume. Desperate for help please?

    My MacbookPro would not move past the Apple logo and spinning wheel for a number of hours.  After trying the numerous suggestions to solve the issue I eventually opted to erase and reinstall feeling confident my Time Machine backups would come to the rescue.  After a successful erase and reinstall I tried to restore all my data from my TIme Capsule using Command-R during start up and by using the Migration Assistant.  Neither worked and I have received messages to the effect that the backup volumes on my Time Capsule cannot be access because I have entered a wrong password or because the backup volume is damaged.
    When I open my Time Capsule in Finder and click on my sparsebundle I get an eror message saying that the disk image could not be opened and that the resource is temporarily unavailable.
    Desperate for some help and comfort that many years of personal data have not been lost.
    Thank you.

    Recently i bought and instal external hard drive for the pictures, movies and music, configured time capsule to back up this data, and I did it to speed up my Imac (the hdd was full, so I erase all content from it). Throug the time machine I can reache movies but I cant viwe particular picture in iphoto library and restore it. Imac have os x snow leopard and iphoto 11?
