Entering Time Machine using Screen Sharing
I use a G4 as a filserver, thus it does not need a monitor, and is just stacked under a desk. Now I want to use Time Machine backup for my files. That works.
To enter Time Machine to retrive a file, I need to use Screen Sharing. But Time Machine does not render correctly! I can see that its on - and trying, but no universe, and no buttons or stacked finder windows.. Anyone?
My Intel MacBookPro could run Time machine remotly on my PowerPC G5
But none could run it on the PowerPC G4.
So I wonder whats the logic..

I am assuming that this issue is related to Mavericks, but since entering Time Machine isn't something I do every day I cannot be certain. The problem could have crept in before I upgraded to Mavericks but without me noticing.
Anyway, I am running Mavericks and I cannot enter Time Machine. My set up is Time Machine on a Time Capsule with a USB connection to a 2009 Mac Pro.
When I try to enter Time Machine the screen goes black/full screen and then nothing. If I hit ESC I exit full screen and find that Finder has opened and that the Time Machine Backups disc will be shown mounted on the desktop. This is of concern if I am unable to rely upon my Time Machine back-ups. (I do have clones via Super-Duper on a couple of portable hard-drives, including a clone immediately prior to installing Mavericks.)
There is a second, much more minor niggle, which is that under Mavericks my TM back-ups will not run in my Mac Pro is asleep. Not a big issue, but niggles are never good.
I like Mavericks and I like Time Machine, so I hope I can make them get along! Any advice much appreciated.
Many thanks

The solution works for me too (the probelm lies with running dual displays) -
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. -
When I enter time machine (on Time Capsule) i see the stack of screen shots and the time line. However, when I roll over the mouse pointer, the time line does not activate. The cancel button does not get me out of the app: have to alt+cmd+esc. Ideas?
I have never seen it but then I run SL which is much more reliable than Lion..

Time machine won't backup. Says disk doesn't have enough room. Shouldn't it delete old info to make space for new.
When I click on "enter time machine" it takes me to the last backup 7/22/11 and doesn't allow me to go further back.No idea's?
I'm starting to think I just need to delete the sparsebundle file altogether and start over again... -
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

Cannot open Time Machine restore screen (Star Wars)
I've got a Late 2006 iMac (amongst others) running Lion 10.7.5 which I backup to a NAS drive and for some reason I can't get into the Star Wars restore screen to access the backed up files. When I select Enter Time Machine it connects to the NAS which is a Netgear ReadyNAS Duo and sometimes it makes Finder the focus application but then nothing. The machine seems to backup just fine, no errors connects and disconnects to the NAS. I thought at first it may be the NAS or the backup set where the problem lay, but I even connected a USB drive to it, again it backs up but will not open Time Machine to restore anything. It is driving me mad all the other machine I have work just fine, and the problem is this one has some homework files for my which I need to recover.
Thanks in advance.PCRinAZ wrote:

Is that the one in several languages? If so, that's a *kernel panic.* They're usually hardware, but not always. Disconnect everything, except keyboard and mouse. Reconnect one at a time to see if you can find the culprit.
If that's no help, disconnect everything again and run the Apple Hardware Test, from the separate disc that came with your Mac. Instructions should be printed on it (in very tiny type).
If it passes that, you might want to download and run the Rember app, a free and much more extensive memory test: http://www.kelleycomputing.net/rember/

Several tries produced the same results. I then went to a different hard drive and opened applications for the problem hard drive.
You lost me there. What is the "different hard drive"? A clone? Of the same Mac?
Which is the "problem hard drive," the replaced internal?
It appears the restore brought back everything but almost all application icons are grayed out with a slash across them, not third party stuff either but iTunes, Safari, System Preferences, Mail etc. When clicking on them I get the pop up "You can't open the application ____ because it is not supported on this type of Mac"
This almost sounds like you got PPC stuff restored onto an Intel, or vice-versa. -
i just did my first ever TM backup to an external drive. When I click on the TM icon at the top right of my screen on of the options is "Enter Time Machine". What does that mean? What does that do?
It is the same as clicking on the TM icon in your Dock - it launches the TM application which is what you use to do restores.
A whole lot about Time Machine for help with TM problems. Also you can select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for "time machine" to locate articles on how to use TM. See also Mac 101- Time Machine. -
Error Using Screen Sharing (Not iChat)
I have a PowerBook and a G4 tower, both 10.5.6 and when I am using screen sharing I get an error: "Connection Failed to "********" Please make sure that Screen Sharing (in the Sharing Preferences section of System Preferences) is enabled on the computer you're connecting to...). This worked at one time. Sharing is enabled on both computers, the firewall has been turned off. Still it will not connect. Anyone have any ideas?
If you see: Apple Remote Desktop in the Services list in the the Sharing pane, select it. Also, you might need to assign permissions.
Setting permissions for screen sharing
Use the Sharing pane of System Preferences on the computer you want to share to set up screen sharing accounts and assign permissions to them.
To set up screen sharing accounts and permissions:
On the computer you want to control, choose Apple > System Preferences, and then click Sharing.
Select the Screen Sharing checkbox.
Select “All users” or “Only these users,” depending on who will be allowed to share this computer.
If you select “Only these users,” click Add + and select Sharing Users, Network Users, or Address Book from the list, and then choose a user. Or click New Person and assign a name and password to create a new sharing user.
Click Computer Settings and select to allow anyone to request permission to control the screen of this computer, or to allow Virtual Network Computing (VNC) users to access the screen after entering a password.

Timemachine does not show time line when choosing 'Enter time machine'
Hi all,
I have been using TM with my Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server without any problems until today. TM still does the backups OK, but when I select 'Enter time machine' the user interface does not get deployed fully. I will show the Finder window in the middle of the screen, but the timeline does not appear. Not happens next; the underlaying desktop stays visible. When I close the window by clicking the red button I see briefly flash a part of the TM bar at the bottom of the screen and then it returns to normal desktop use.
Does anybody know why TM will not start the restore interface and how I can get it fixed?
Thanks a bunch for any replies.

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 ?tibbs01 wrote:
Oh dear, no response to my post.
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? -
Upgraded to Mavericks, Enter Time Machine and cannot see any previous backup at all
MBP, upgrade from 10.6.8 to Mavericks.
After "Enter Time Machine", the time line on the right side of the screen does not show any previous backup at all.
In Finder, I can see the backup folder and the inside contents.
In Time Machine Preference, I did select the disk for backup again.
Any idea ? Thank you.Thank you for your reply and the links.
I did this:
1) I have two ext. USB drives for the MBP time machine backup, did not occur to me to try the other one which is the very first disk, let's call it disk 1, I used for backup, the other one I started using after a year or so.
2) reboot with the disk 1 connected
3) do a "Backup Now", and I forgot the exact dialogs and what they say.
4) something like, "choose a disk for the backup", I chose disk 1
5) it knows I had two disk for backup and ask me if I want to use two disk for backup, click yes
6) the time machine pref. says something like initial backup (after new system installed?)
7) after it done, I can see the previous time machine back up and the time line goes back to where it was before.
8) connect the disk 2 and "Backup Now", it just went to backup right away, after it's done, I can see the prev. backups and the time line too.
Thanks again for your help. -
How to delete a file from time machine without entering time machine mode ?
Is there a terminial hack or a third-party app to delete a backed up file from the finder and at the same time from time machine without having to enter time machine mode, and is there a shortcut to do so ?
Please post your code using code tags (click on CODE above the text area, when posting)
response.setContentType("application/octet-stream");Why octet-stream? Set the correct mime-type.
String disHeader = "Attachment; Filename=\"filename\"";The filename should just be the file's name. Not the complete path to the file! This will tell anyone where the file is located on the server. It's also inconvenient because by default,the browser will suggest it as the name for the download.
Your way of writing to the output stream is just plain wrong. See this snippet (picked from [http://balusc.blogspot.com/2007/07/fileservlet.html])
BufferedInputStream input = null;
BufferedOutputStream output = null;
try {
// Open streams.
input = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(file), DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE);
output = new BufferedOutputStream(response.getOutputStream(), DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE);
// Write file contents to response.
byte[] buffer = new byte[DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE];
int length;
while ((length = input.read(buffer)) > 0) {
output.write(buffer, 0, length);
// Finalize task.
output.flush();
} finally {
// Gently close streams.
close(output);
close(input);

Hi,
I'm thinking of buying a new mac-mini to replace my current one which acts as an iTunes server and records TV programs using eyeTV. I connect using screen-sharing/VNC to be able to do stuff on it (like handbrake etc.)
I have eyeTV with a satelite receiver and I want to change the setup so that:
- the new mac-mini continues to work as an iTunes server (and handbrake workhorse)
- I can use the HDMI output (inc. audio) to show eyeTV's live TV full-screen app
- I can connect using screen-sharing/VNC to the mac-mini and see my normal desktop to be able to maintain it etc. but this is a headless display (no screen is connected to the display-port).
- recorded media I'd play through the appleTV2 still + rentals etc. unless anyone knows if eyeTV software can offer up iTunes content? I don't like the eyeTV recordings in general as it seems very slow to me for access when there are lots of recordings and wouldn't be available in other apleTVs in the house AFAIK.
The main benefit that this gives me is that I'd no longer need a seperate satelite box to watch live TV and can add more eyeTV hardware to get additional TV channels all through the same HUD on the TV for ease of access.
Does this seem possible in theory & practice (ie are there any gotcha's to consider?)
- can I force the HDMI output resolution to 1080i as I go via an amp to the TV and the appleTV2 drops to low-res in this configuration so I have had to find a workaround for that.
- does the mac-mini have IR input that can be programmed?
- Does eyeTV software remain stable for long periods?
- Does the HDMI out have any handshake issues that would need a reset of the display (somehow)?
thanks in advance for any thoughts/contributions
LeeI think the easiest way to do this is to have the EyeTV app running in one user account and sent via HDMI to the TV, and use a separate user account for Screen Sharing. Both logins can be active at the same time and with Lion you can connect via screen sharing to which ever login you need.
With regards to the Mac video resolution changing, when it is not the current input on your AV receiver. This is 'normal', if the Mac sees no signal it drops down the a lower level. What you need is to buy a HDMI Detective Plus which tricks the Mac in to always seeing a signal and hence it will not drop down the resolution. See http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=8005
The Mac mini does have an IR receiver. This can be used with the EyeTV app, iTunes, and similar. Yes I believe EyeTV would run for prolonged periods quite happily, it is has been around for a long time and had most of the rough edges polished off. However one issue you will have to deal with is that it does not automatically update its program guide data. For this you might have to write or modify an AppleScript. Elgato support or their user forums will be a lot of help.
You can set EyeTV to convert recordings to an iTunes (Apple TV) compatible format and then delete them from EyeTV.
The HDMI Detective should solve your handshaking problems. -
OS 10.8.2 - Click on Enter Time Machine - nothing happens
Not sure if recent history matters, but including it. Last week I had a problem with my display. Took it in to Apple and had it repaired - new logic board installed. Before taking it in, I decided to back up onto iCloud, which I had never used before. I also have Time Machine back-ups on a WD Passport external drive, but I am always worried something could happen to it.
After my 6 year old MacBook Pro came back, I found that the calendar was stuck trying to access the server. I wasn't able to quit Calendar or even Force Quit it - I would have to shut my computer down to make it stop. If I opened it, it resumed trying to access the server for ever. A couple of days later I disengaged from iCloud to solve this problem. It warned me that I would lose my data. I wasn't worried because I also had recent Time Machine backups on the external drive.
Now I would like to reinstall the data I lost using the back ups on the external drive. But when I click on the Time Machine icon in the top menu bar and click on Enter Time Machine, nothing happens. I tried opening it from Finder. No go.
Any suggestions? Or should I head back over to the Apple Store this weekend for help?
Thanks!I have muddled through this and now have my calendar info back. After posting the question I started closing windows and found that my external drive was no longer connected, though I hadn't intentionally disconnected it. I restarted my system, reconnected my external drive, and then was able to enter Time Machine.
I didn't find my calendar data file.
I decided to try to recover the data from my iPod, but the sync didn't restore the information onto my MacBook.
I figured since I was facing a trip to the Apple store anyway, why not reconnect to iCloud and see what happened. This time it entered "connecting to server" and within two minutes it had connected and I had my appointments and birthdays restored.
Don't know why I had the issue in the first place, but will keep my fingers crossed for the future.
