EFI Update Causes Time Machine Problems

After the EFI update today (10/12) Time Machine will no longer mount its disk image on an external network drive via AFP wireless connection. The external drive is presented through Ubuntu 8.10 with Netatalk 2.03. Anyone else having this problem yet, or better yet have a solution?

Fixed it! Mounting it in Disk Utility and repairing the file system worked. It should be noted however that I can't confirm the update was the cause of of this problem but, its some kawinky-**** huh?

  • LaCie "Eco Mode" causing Time Machine problems

    I just purchased a LaCie P'9231, which is advertised as an Apple Store Exclusive. I've been having problems with it and Time Machine and I'm starting to think its due to the Eco Mode feature. I'd rather have the HD on all the time and turn "Eco Mode" completely off and I've unchecked the "Put the Hard Disk to Sleep..." option in Energy Saver. Still I'm looking at it right in front of me in Eco Mode (so it didn't help). Any drivers to instal or are others experienceing this problem? Thank you so much!!!!

    I just encountered essentially the same problem with a new LaCie "USB 3.0" 3-terabyte d2 drive (part of their new "v3" series). Although it's called the "USB 3.0" drive, it actually has ports for eSata, USB 2.0, USB 3.0, and Firewire 800 -- I use Firewire 800.
    The manual says you can turn off Eco Mode using the LaCie Desktop Manager. I want it turned off because I have several drives and waiting for them to spin up one by one every time I use my Mac is unacceptable. Desktop Manager's Eco tab has a single button that takes you to the Energy Saver pane of System Preferences, where I always have the 'Put the Hard Disk to Sleep..." option turned off. The manual says this will stop the drive from spinning down in Eco Mode.
    Nevertheless, the drive always spins down after a few minutes of inactivity. Worse, it will NOT spin back up when I open the drive's window or drag a file onto it. Instead, it freezes the Finder so that I can do nothing on my Mac -- among other things, I can't drag the drive icon to the trash to dismount it. I have to turn the drive off using its power switch, which of course brings up an alert telling me that doing this might damage the drive and instead I should dismount it first -- and then the Finder comes back to life. According to Desktop Manager, I could also set up the button on the front of the drive so that pushing it will cause the drive to spin back up. I haven't bothered to try that because I am unwilling to have to turn my devices on and off by pushing hardware buttons all the time.
    LaCie tech support just sent me a message telling me that the drive is designed so that you cannot turn off Eco Mode. That is directly inconsistent with the manual, so I assume tech support means that they still don't have the firmware in the drive working right. They released a firmware update in late August that supposedly fixes a wake/sleep problem, but reading between the lines of the tech support messages I received, that apparently relates only to a problem when your Mac goes to sleep -- I have mine set so that it never sleeps.
    Bottom line: unless and until LaCie revises the firmware to allow the drive to keep spinning all the time -- as advertised -- this product is essentially unusable to me.

  • I am trying to update my time machine backup on time capsule, but time machine keeps trying to create an entirely new backup (evidenced by the 200GB backup size). How can I get time machine to modify my old backup rather than create a new one?

    It must have found the old backup corrupt.. so you will more than likely have little choice. You can archive off the old backup if it is still useful.
    You can also verify it. See A5 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    He also has some info on this problem. eg C13.

  • Help, I am about to pull my hair out, can't get into a locked drive and Time Machine problem

    I've screwed everything up, I think.  I had Time Machine doing backups to an external 500Gig drive and somehow it got locked.  I went into Get Info to try and change the access but it won't allow me.  On top of this problem, my original drive died and I can't get into Time Machine to restore.  When I click "Enter Time Machine", nothing happens.  I created an eDisk and a startup disk to another external drive that I'm using now, but since everything that's been backed up is on the other drive that I can't access.  When I try accessing the drive it gives:  "The folder “G-DRIVE ” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents."  I'm not knowledgeable enough to work from the command line, so if I need to do that to access the drive, please walk me though it.  As for the Time Machine problem, I have no idea how to recover anything since it won't even come up, it just sits there.  Outside of blowing my brains out, I don't know what to do.  Any help would be greatly appreciated as I can't afford to take it to Apple to let them try and fix it.

    Hello, not sure how this might affect a TM drive, or not, but...
    Here is what i needed to do for my drive "320GB HD", the last command is just for clean up
    Open Terminal and type these commands carefully with the spaces & change 320GB HD to the name of your drive.
    sudo chflags 0 "/volumes/320GB HD"
    sudo chown root "/volumes/320GB HD"
    sudo chmod 1775 "/volumes/320GB HD"
    sudo -k
    That said, these should be sufficient to do the job:
    sudo chflags 0 "/Volumes/320GB HD"
    sudo chmod a+rx "/Volumes/320GB HD"

  • Time Machine problems

    My question is this: Is there any way to force Time Machine to make a complete backup of all files, not just the recently changed ones?
    My story so far:
    Installed Leopard yesterday. Detected brand-new (and newly Mac formatted Extended Journaled) Seagate 300GB hard drive and asked if I wanted to use it for Time Machine. Answered yes. Thought I was through with worrying about Time Machine- wrong! First backups went OK- so I thought. First one took several hours and seemed to back up the whole drive. Subsequent ones were shorter, which seemed to make sense. After a couple backups had been performed, decided to see if I could "go back in time". The only window to show up was the original backup (which I never bothered to check to see if it truly was complete). This morning I was greeted with an error that it couldn't do the backup because it couldn't complete the library.
    So I come to this forum and read posts advising me to reformat my drive and name it with no spaces (it was previously "Backup Disk"). I did that, erasing all previous backups. Seemed to help, but...
    Now, unfortunately, Time Machine doesn't realize that the backups are not there anymore and will not do a complete backup with my completely empty external drive. I even tried removing the com.apple.TimeMachine.plist file from its place in the directory to see if that would force the program to build a new library. It didn't.
    Not even sure that making a complete backup again will solve all my Time Machine problems but it's a start!

    I had this same problem when I first started using my Time Machine on my MBP. I had a portable drive (Western Digital 160 gig passport drive).
    I was advised by the tech to do the following before the first use of the drive:
    1. Turn off the time machine
    1. format the drive with your disk utility.
    3. configure the time machine for the drive.
    4. Turn on the time machine. Make sure your not backing up anything but your main hard drive. (Your shouldn't back up any other external hard drives). At least not the first time you run Time machine.
    5. start the backup.
    The first backup is always the longest, but it shouldn't take that long, especially if your doing the Macbook Air.
    Hope this helps.

  • Another Time Machine problem after 10.5.3 update

    OK, I have another problem, that I haven't seen listed here. Time Machine will no longer back up my MacBook Pro after the 10.5.3 update. The error message I get in the Console log is:
    6/1/08 3:44:42 PM /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[1395] Volume at path /Volumes/Dave's backup does not appear to be the correct backup volume for this computer. (Cookies do not match)
    How do I change the cookies for my backup disk?
    Thanks in advance.

    I believe I have isolated the problem as a permissions issue which I have logged as bug 5990628:
    Summary:
    Unable to backup over network after upgrading to 10.5.3.
    Steps to Reproduce:
    Configure Time Machine to back up Leopard machine over AirPort to another Leopard machine (with external drive and .Mac account configured in this case)
    Expected Results:
    Backups complete as usual.
    Actual Results:
    Backups are 'Delayed' with errors like this in the console:
    6/6/08 4:25:57 AM /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[2334] Volume at path /Volumes/Time Machine-1 does not appear to be the correct backup volume for this computer. (Cookies do not match)
    Regression:
    Yes
    Notes:
    There are many threads on the subject:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1538633
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1543033
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1547134
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1546079
    The problem appears to relate to being unable to read the cookie:
    6/6/08 4:20:23 AM System Preferences[2315] Failed to create remote cookie file at path: /Volumes/Time Machine/.001b63abcdef
    And this appears to be because the cookie was owned by a different user (likely due to it wanting to connect using a .Mac username instead of a local one), per my explanation below:
    I only ever used Time Machine after upgrading to 10.5.3 so my first experience with it has been fairly ordinary, as the backups were constantly being 'Delayed' with this error in the Console:
    6/6/08 4:25:57 AM /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[2334] Volume at path /Volumes/Time Machine-1 does not appear to be the correct backup volume for this computer. (Cookies do not match)
    The first thing I discovered from a blog post was that my .Mac 60 day trial was causing it to connect using my .mac username (which appeared in the username field in the UI as a string of hex characters); disconnecting and reconnecting using a local user seemed to work but the issue remained.
    I then spotted this in the console:
    6/6/08 4:20:23 AM System Preferences[2315] Failed to create remote cookie file at path: /Volumes/Time Machine/.001b63abcdef
    The 'random' characters are your MAC address and the binary inside is likely this 'cookie' - a random value used to transparently and reliably link backups to machines. Curiously I couldn't modify this file over the network despite apparently owning it (in Terminal):
    $ cd /Volumes/Time\ Machine
    $ ls -la .00*
    -r-------- 1 samj staff 16 Jun 6 04:33 .001b63abcdef
    But when looking at it on the Mac Mini 'server' I saw that the owner was in fact another user:
    -r-------- 1 otheruser staff 16 Jun 6 04:33 .001b63abcdef
    So I ran these commands:
    sudo chown samj .001b63abcdef
    sudo chgrp staff .001b63abcdef
    And sure enough I was able to configure Time Machine as expected and it is as we speak backing up my MacBook over Airport to a USB drive attached to my Mac Mini.

  • MacBookPro ****. iPhoto (Time Machine) Problems

    I took my MacBook Pro in to the Genius Bar and it was sent to the Depot for a new logic board.  I was told to use Time Machine to 'restore/reload' everything.  OK.  I did.
    Then iTunes and iPhoto would not work.  Based on the error I got, I think what they loaded when they reloaded the OS was newer than what I had before their work (but still Snow Leopard - 10.6.8.)  So I checked for updates and about 8 or 9 things needed updating.  So I did.
    Well, now I have two problems
    iPhoto has lost *many* thumbnails.  (Everything else is '09 but iPhoto is now '11 for some reason.)  I'm trying to open GarageBand for the first time now.  (it's '11 now too.)  If I seem confused, it's because the paperwork for repair said that I  had '09.  I questioned this and was told that I was wrong, I didn't have iLife '11.  Perhaps I was right all along.
    Anyway, I tried the Alt+cmd when opening and selecting the restore thumbnail options.  That DID NOT work.
    I'm hesitant to try Time Machine again.
    My Time Machine says that this backup was done on a different machine and do I want to use it.  (Of course, everything, iTunes, Facebook,etc thinks I am on a new computer.)  So I just declined to go any farther before I cause a bigger mess.
    Please help me.  I have projects that I need the photos for and I need to back up while I am working on that and other things.
    Does any one know what to do.  To get into this mess, it took 3 trips to the Genius Bar 15 miles and crazy traffic away and 2 calls to Apple Support.  Seems there isn't one Genius who is especially rounded and knows more than one area.  I need a fully functioning MacBook Pro in *all* areas.
    Thank you to anyone that can help.

    Please don't think people are ignnoring you.  If they are like me, they read your problem and were unable to come up with a solution to help you.  It may take a few hours or even a few days before someone comes along that can assist you.  I feel your pain, feeling completly helpless and anxiously awaiting a fix.  We do have very knowledgable Time Machine users in here.  What I can do is direct you to this website, created by a user in here who is one of those very knowledgeable about Time Machine. : http://pondini.org/OSX/Home.html.  I hope he or someone else comes along soon to help you. Good luck.

  • Mountain Lion time machine problems.

    Not long after updating to Mountain Lion, my time machine backups started failing. When attempting to backup, it is getting stuck at the "looking for backup disk..." phase and causing my computer to freeze.
    To clarify, for at least a few days I had routinely completed a number of backups using time machine after the initial upgrade to Mountain Lion, so I don't think it is a problem with indexing a new backup etc.
    Suggestions? Thanks.

    Ha, yep, I've been poking around on pondini.org/TM but haven't yet found anything on being stuck at "looking for backup disk..."
    Found a discussion of a similar problem when going from 10.6 to 10.7 here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=13852.0. It sounds like after waiting 45 minutes or so the backup disk was finally found and the problem was resolved. I'm going to let it run for as long as possible and see what happens...

  • Time Machine Problem after restore

    I had a hard drive crash, and after repair, I restored from a time machine back.  Everything seemed fine, although a few sets of photos were missing from iPhoto.  After things seemed to be fine I have started doing time machine backups again. 
    My problem is that they take a very long time to complete.  I expected the first one or two to take a long time, but not since then.  I have given it weeks to make sure that it has had enough time.
    Every single time the verifcation stage shows 10s of thousands of files.  Even if I have not made any changes.  In my console log I see:
    6/7/12 11:17:34 AM
    com.apple.backupd[61578]
    Node requires deep traversal:/Users/dersh/Pictures/iPhoto Library reason:contains changes|must scan subdirs|fsevent|missed reservation|
    For every single backup.  It seems like it is not actually fixing this.  From googling around, I expect that this should take a long time the first time or two, but then should finish.  It then says that it is backing up about 600 meg.  The exect number seems to change with each backup, depending on what I am doing, and what changes I have made.  But even if I do nothing, it still is in that range.  It then appears to complete, although it takes a long time.  I would guess that since it is doing the deep traverse it then has to match up a bunch of files, so doing the actual backup takes much longer then it should.  For example it might sit for a good few minutes at "backing Up:  105.2 MB of 580.2 MB" Then it moves on to 107.6.  Finally, the cleanup takes a very long time.  So overall each backup is taking 10s of minutes.  Even if I am not doing anything with the computer. 
    I am using a firewire drive directly connected to the computer.  I have done a repair of the external time machine drive, and have done a verify of the internal drive, with no issues.
    I see that I have plenty of space on the external drive. 
    So, it seems like what is happening is that it doesn't "know" that it has done a succesful backup of iPhoto, each time so it does a deep traverse  and then backsup something like 600 meg of data from there.  How can I get it to "understand" that it has done this?  Can I force it to do it once correctly, so that it will take?
    Any other suggestions?

    UPDATE
    Happen to have a QNAP NAS from work at the house which has Time Machine support and can select and initiate a backup there, no problem!
    So, it's something about the Mac Mini or drive? I didn't do anything to the Mac Mini in the process other than removing the USB drive and plugging it back in.
    As far as the drive, I dumped it and re-partitioned it with two partitions one for the Mini and one for the iMac. The Mac Mini is backing up to it locally, no problem.

  • Time Machine problem after 10.6 upgrade

    Hi Guys,
    After I installed the snow leopard, I got a prompt regarding the time machine: "cancel backup" "create new backup" "replace backup". I clicked on "create new backup" but that seemed to have been the wrong choice. The time machine said that the last backup was November 28 2008, despite me backing up data every hour since November 28. My question is:
    Have I lost all the data between now and Nov. 2008? Is there anyway to access it?
    Second, can I resume backing up as before instead of the new back up I accidentally created?
    Thanks.

    I deleted the newly created sparsebundle. I also realized that the computer name had been changed and I changed it back to the original one. Here's the new problem. The TM says that I only have 127 GB and the amount of space needed to back up the disk is 140GB. I don't understand. It almost seems like it is trying to duplicate the entire backup. And this time around, I don't even see any new sparsebundle. I am stuck here.
    Something caused TM to decide to start a new "sequence" of backups, as if you'd gotten a new Mac. That means a new, full backup to start with. The only thing that seems to have worked for some folks is a Restart. So if you haven't done one since the latest changes and failed backup attempt, it's worth a try.
    If it still wants to do a full backup, you can't prevent it.
    Depending on how much space you have on the TM drive/partition, your only choice may be to delete the "old" sparse bundle and let TM start over.
    You may be able to delete some of the older backups to make room for the new, full backup, but that's tedious and time-consuming (see item #12 of the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip.)*
    But that still leaves two problems: you'll have to manually "compact" the sparse bundle via Terminal to shrink it; and you'll have to continue to delete old backups this way (and manually compact them) to make room for new ones. Since TM is treating them as if they were from a different Mac, it won't delete them automatically, but will delete the oldest backups from the new set instead.

  • Install an SSD from my old macbook pro into a new one without reformat - time machine problem!

    Hi all!
    I've bought a new macbook pro 13" 2012 to replace my old macbook pro 2010.
    In my old macbook pro 2010 I was using an Sandisk 480 SSD that has everything working and installed, as I sold the old one, I put my hard drive and format it to sell to my friend.
    In the new macbook 2012, I soon I receive it, I replace the HDD with my old SSD an everything works normally except some problems that I'm discovering now!
    MY new macbook boot without no problems and until now every software that I've testes is working ok! Some of them ask me to register again but all of them is working.
    My problems starts with my VPN configuration, the new macbook looses all my VPN connections, but as it wasn't so much (only 6) I'm reconfiguring them as I need it.
    My worst problem is happening with time machine backup. When I start my mac with the tima machine disk, it ask me if I want to inherit the old backups and I click to accept it, but the systems spends a lot of time searching for the time machine disk and them shows an error telling that is impossible to write on the disk.
    I've checked the disk in disk utility and it's mounted as read/write. But I've tried to create a new directory on the disk and receive an error of operation denied!
    What or where should I look to solve this problem?? Thanks!

    You can resolve that by installing the 10.6.6 Combo Updater instead of the smaller incremental updater.
    +BTW, you should never use a version of OS X that's older than the version that shipped with the computer.+

  • 10.5.6 Update Breaks Time Machine backup of FileVault home folders?

    This is a copy of a post that I have here somewhere...
    "Personally I think apple is up to something...."
    My set up was almost since Leopard was out.. Airport Extreme, USB drive connected to it.. 3 profiles on a macbook mid 07, 4 g's ram.. TM would back up will I was logged in every hour or so.. and whenever I logged out it would back up my home folder since I had file vault enabled.. never had a mayor problem.. updated to 10.5.6 about a day after it was out.. TM still backed up while I was logged in but it stopped backing up my home folder that had file vault enabled.. I decided to try a clean back up with another USB drive that I had used for the same purpose and it would not even recognize the format of the drive.. Any ways.. today I got a brand new 500 g's time capsule.. guess what... same thing.. it wont back up my home folder.. I've been with support on the phone since the beginning of the problem spoke to 4 different people 2 different levels, finally one level higher (3rd) the guy told me he couldn't help me because the set up i had was not supported by apple.. today I got to that 3rd level and the guy had no idea.. he even or actually most of them sounded surprise when i told them that i was expecting TM to back up when i was logged off.. .. well he is supposedly going to fwd my issue to their engineers and he or some one else would call me back in around a week becuase of the holly days..

  • Time Machine Problem after Hard drive replacement

    Hi all,
    I am new at this so thanks in advance for any help or direction.  I am running Mac OS X version 10.6.8 on an iMac and am having troubles with my Time Machine since having my 1 TB hard drive replaced under the Seagate recall.  Specifically, the store somehow cloned my drive during the replacement process but now when Time Machine runs it doesn't recognize its prior backups as belonging to itself, starts to perform a full backup and then realizes it runs out of room as shown above.
    I am backing up wirelessly to a 2012 dlink network attached storage device and it was working perfectly before having the hard drive replaced.  The first time took ages but since was working fine.  I have spent 3+ hours on the phone with apple support to no avail (trying to associate the old backups with TM and then just trying to delete them to start over..,) and have since been working through the Pondini pages of troubleshooting TM solutions.
         Specifically, I have followed the instructions on http://pondini.org/TM/B6.html going through the green box steps 1-5 successfully first, but then I am unable to complete the process to inherit or associate the old backups (either pink or blue box) due to this error. 
    If I cannot associate the old backups with this 'new HD computer'  then I think that I need to erase all prior backups so that I have room on the NAS to start TM backup from scratch.  However, this is problematic as I cannot 'see' the old backups to try to delete them through Time Machine itself as the computer does not see itself as existing on the timeline prior to the HD replacement date.  I therefore need a way of deleting the whole thing but clearly not through Finder or Terminal from problems mentioned by doing this in prior posts.
    My NAS is partitioned so that all the Time Machine Backups were supposed to be just in one part of the NAS, separate from the stuff we were archiving from several other computers....(I cannot just reformat the entire NAS).  From reading many of the Pondini troubleshooting posts I think that I need to do something to delete the whole sparsebundle? and think I have located it (see image below) (although I am not sure if it is the one from my prior successful backups prior to Nov 18 or from the more recent failed attempts).
    I am carefully reading http://pondini.org/TM/12.html about deleting but at this point am a bit confused as to the best course of action.
    Ideally, I would love to successfully tell TM that it has already backed itself up and that the Backups.backups folder belongs to it and not some other computer, so it can just proceed with updates.
    Failing that, I think that I would try to delete all prior backups to free up the entire 1.87 TB that are designated and apple formatted for TM on the NAS and then restart TM from scratch.
    Not sure if the Backups.backups folder that I have identified has all the info from before November 18th and then could be used to restore itself as I cannot see it through TM.
    Thanks for the advice in advance.  I would be grateful for any assistance and I am sure others having their hard drives replaced would also benefit.

    Hi all,
    I am a bit disappointed that nobody has offered me any help!  Please?  Pondini?
    Thanks

  • Time machine problems in Yosemite

    I have issues trying to recover files further back than a few days. When i try the time machine just hangs for ages and don't do anything. I have also found that the links to other folders in the side bar also do not work. Is it just my machine or do others have the same problem. Your help in this matter is appreciated as i rely on this backup method to protect all my document and photos. Thank you in advance

    First, I went to the Airport Utility to see if there were any error messages for my Time Capsule.  It's firmware needed to be updated.  I did so.  That did not resolve the issue.  I then tried to access backed up files using an alternate backup drive I use (i.e. not the Time Capsule).  Same problem occurred using it.  That suggested to me that it is not a hardware problem (the two different disks used for backups...which both worked fine before Yosemite).
    Then I thought it might be a "slowness" issue.  I went into Time Machine and picked a date about halfway between today and my oldest backup.  It showed "waiting" for about five minutes and then it went to that date in time.  The problem occurs when I go to pick a folder (like Documents).  Nothing happens.  Single click.  Double click.  Clicking and then waiting for an hour just in case it is super slow.  Nothing.
    I've got to believe it is a Yosemite issue (just like the other handful of problems I have experienced with Yosemite...Java problems, etc.).
