Error OSStatus error -6602 on Time Machine

Hello, i've been trying to setup my TM but im getting the error 'OSStatus error -6602'
I have mounted my external drive (FAT32) and everytime that i select it from the Time Machine list of drives it prompts me for a username/password. I enter the same user/password that was used when mounting the drive (that is the same used on the smb admin) and i get the above error. Any ideas what this means? thank you in advanced.

Thank you very much for your quick reply. It is a network drive, and i just switched to mac so apologies if my terminology is not very accurate. I read on some forums that it was possible to use FAT32 on TM. And in order to see that drive it was necessary to set this line on the terminal.
defaults write com.apple.systemspreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1
which i did. More strangely it worked for 2 weeks, i was able to backup and see my backups for 2 weeks and then it just failed to backup and now im getting the error mentioned above.
What i refer to 'mount' is connect to server smb://drive which then prompts me for a password and then it appears on the finder. That is the same user/passwd that im using when selecting the drive on the TM.
So am i doing something wrong in here? and if i can only use HFS+ why it worked for some time? again thank you very much for your help.

IMovie Export using Quicktime in 1080p gives error OSStatus error -2125

Hi, I am new to using iMovie, started using it few days back. So far i have been unable to "Export using Quicktime" in 1920*1080p option.
I was able to export using "Export to Quicktime" in 640*480p (.mp4 format) option and was able to use "Export Movie" with 1920*1080p (.mov format) option.
Trying to export using "Export using Quicktime" in 1080p always failed so far. I tried at least a dozen times with different settings. Initially i was getting the following two errors randomly, but later, the last 4-5 trials i keep getting only the first error.
1. OSStatus error - 2125
2. Not enough room in the heap zone.
Project details are - it is a 34 min. video and size came to 5.3GB when exported using "Export Movie" (.mov format) using 1080p option.
It indicates 2 hours to export it, takes 2 hours and interestingly, the OSStats error - 2125 error happens at the end of the export. I can see in the finder the increasing size of the file the process is creating. It has been a really frustrating experience with iMovie so far. I even tried duplicating the project with a different name and tried export, did not help.
I have >300GB of free space on my hard drive and 8 GB of RAM. I don't have any heavy applications running on the system.
I read forums about this error and tried the following so far with no help.
1. Tried changing names of the iMovie project few times to see if that helps.
2. Set the sleep settings of the computer as well as monitor to Never.
3. Reached out to apple support about it and they suggested me to setthe sleep settings to never and then try. But that did not help.
I am stuck with this error OSStatus error - 2125.
The settings I am trying with are:
Export to MPEG-4
H.264 video format
20Mbps bit rate
30 fps
One question is, once I exported a project in one format or setting, do I have to create a new project to export it in different settings or I can just use the same project?
Can someone please help? Any help about this is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I am having the same issue. Have been searchin gfor 3 days for an answer. I am able to export as MOV file, but not MP4. I bought QT Pro 7 to convert THE MOV to MP4 and it doesnt work either. I then bought iskysoft Video Converter and it wont convert the MOV to MP4 either. (will convert smaller files)
I have 700 GB of free space on drive. I have tried a movie that is 3 hours, one that is one hour, and one that is 54 minutes..All same thing.. Error -2125. Although it will work with smaller movies under 30 mins.
Surely there has to be an answer to this? It seems it has been an ongoing issue for quite some time, yet there is no solution.

Quicktime Error: OSStatus error 403

I am encountering this error OSStatus error 403 when I launch Quicktime. My OS is 10.6.8 and my Quicktime version is 10.0. Anyone can help?

Hi:
I've been experiencing all sorts of issues with compressor, somewhat like this. I think my quicktime plug-ins are the culprit. Example, I have been exporting directly out of Motion with no problems lately, but when I export to Compressor I see my "Flip4Mac" import window several times, then Compressor either fails to export, or crashes.
I would suggest trying a direct export from FCP or Motion, or whatever your source is. See if that works. Just bypass Compressor and choose your HD DVD option from the export window. It does the trick with Motion.

Receiving error (OSStatus error -6602.) setting up time machine on NAS

I have a Macbook Air and a 1TB WD My Worldbook and have been unable to setup time machine for backups, I keep receiving the following error - Operation could not be completed. (OSStatus error -6602.) It is connected to my airport extreme - dual band any thoughts on what I need to do to get this to work. I had to uninstall itunes 10 and downgrade to 9.2.1 so I can see my shared folder and what saved me was that I manually copied my itunes library to the network drive.
I am new to Macs and know tech basics so please be gentle.
Thanks for any insight.

I had the same problem. WD does indeed support Time Machine set up on the WD World.
The acrobat file walking you through the 15 second set up [hurrah] can be found here: http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/updates/?family=mbworld [click on the user guide link to download].
My problem was that I was trying to login using my user name rather than the wd_backup that is required via Time Machine.... did not read the set up instructions very carefully.

Copy error -36 when copying from Time Machine disk to Mac

Since using OS X 10.6.(.6), I can't copy certain files from my Time Machine disk to the Mactintosh hard disk without getting a copy error -36. The error doesn't occur with all files: for example pdf files will copy without problems, but Filemaker Pro files and iCal files don't. May be it's important to mention that when I retrieve files from the Time Machine disk, I have to mount the "sparse bundle" with my user files first and then drag the files to the desktop or an other place. This is because I'm running File Vault. If I try to retrieve files that were backed up under OS X 10.5, I get no copying errors at all. So it looks as if Snow Leopard has something to do with it. Is there anybody who has seen this problem before and knows how to solve it?

Ok, I finally was able to complete the Disk Utility Repair, and it says everything is ok. Still the problem in restoring presists.
One thing I noticed is that most files that Time Machine restore chokes on have an added set of permissions added to the file or folder with the same user name as mine, and the permissions level says "Custom". Thus it has 2 sets of permissions defined with the same user name, one with Read/Write and another with the same name that says "Custom." Am I explaining this well? Maybe this is a clue?

Error "The Connection Failed" in Time Machine, Migration Assistant and Restore From DVD

I am receiving this error when trying to connect to my Time Machine Backup in my Time capsule. I input the proper password to access my Time Capsule and It returns me to the screen with the caption "The connection failed" under the Time Capsule name in the "Select your Disk" screen. What would cause this error. I am connecting via WIFI (AirPort) and have full signal. I am using Mac OSX 10.6.8
I recently had my 1TB hard drive replaced and I am attempting to restore using Time Machine, migration assistant or from the startup dvd (tried multiple ways, no success). The initial setup of mac OSX 10.6 would not let me connect or other attempts after erasing hard drive and reinstalling OSX from disk.
Worked on it all weekend and don't have enough beer to drown the frustration, any help is appreciated.

You are correct TM is not at all easy to do a full restore.
To answer your question: Yes TM disk does show up in finder.
After my initial startup setup I was able to start TM and access all my previous backups. I migrated some files and was able grab the data from finder. Not satisfied with that I tried to do a restore to that previous date, to no success. I then erased the HD and reinstalled OSx and tried again from the setup screen. That didn't work, sulked over some beers. I then tired with Migration assistant...same result (more beer).
In starting TM after trying MA, only one backup was showing in the Star screen (today). None of my previous backups were showing. Since exiting TM it has been "Making Backup Disk Available" ( xGB of 6.29GB). Considering the size, I can only assume that these are my previous backups.
I have reviewed Pondini's posts, FAQs, and tutorials. I am a little scared to try and locate the drives through Terminal as in Pondini's TS #6 guide. If I can get my previous backups to show up, I will be happy with dragging files from Finder to restore my data and slowly work at restoring my settings/applications.

"An unexpected error occurred (error code -43)" when launching Time Machine

Hi! When attempting to launch Time Machine, I get the following error:
The operation could not be completed
An unexpected error occurred (error code -43)
My machine is a 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon running 10.5.8
What's strange is that Time Machine DID work just the other day. It would launch automatically when I plugged in my external HD (Maxtor One Touch) though I didn't set it up to back up yet. After I reformatted the drive to Mac OS Extended (Journaled), Time Machine started giving me this error and won't launch. Any ideas here? Thanks!

When you reformatted, it got a new UUID (Universally Unique IDentifier), which may be confusing Time Machine. Try just reselecting it, per +Time Machine Preferences.+
If that doesn't help, try a "full reset" of Time Machine, per #A4 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).

What is Time Machine error code -6584, What is Time Machine error code -6584, What is Time Machine error code -6584

My mac book pro crashed badly after latest Apple update. I have had to reinstall the the operating system to get my mac book pro working again. Thanks to Apple support team who where helpful and actually got my mac able to load up. I am now trying to restore all my documents from Time Machine but keep getting this error message error code -6584 -Help needed

Thanks guys but I am scr***d. All my business documents are back up on Time Machine. Tried the Verify option says back up drive is not available. Am I missing something?

"Permission denied" error when trying to open Time Machine sparse backup image

Hello,
After a hard drive failiure, I'm trying to access my Time Machine backup from a different computer, but when double-clicking on the sparsebackup file I get the following error:
The Time Machine backup was done wirelessly, to a hard drive plugged in via USB to an AirPort Extreme router. I've now connected the hard drive (via FireWire) to my backup computer.
I suppose I could plug the drive back into the router and see if that works, but restoring via WiFi will take FOREVER — the sparsebundle is 750 GB.
I've tried repairing permissions and rebooting, but that did not solve the problem.
Any ideas?

I think you will need to connect to the USB attached to the airport..
But you can use ethernet not wireless.
If you are using a Mac without an ethernet port then get a thunderbolt to ethernet or if no thunderbolt, then usb to ethernet adapter.. that is the second best by a long way.
I have always been able to open the sparsebundle on disks .. So unfortunately the sparsebundle could be corrupt.. you can try to repair it.

What does an unexpected error occurred (error code -6584) when opening time machine

After a terminal hard drive fail in my 2007 imac which was backed up to time machine I tried to restore some data onto my replacement imac 2.9 late 2012.
I did this via migration assistant - it was a long process about 4 hours - so I went to bed and left it running.
When I returned to the imac I found I had my old programs back but none of the data assosiated with them - word but no documents, garage sale but no templates and itunes but no music...
This is my entire music collection of around 300 gig and all my Garage Sale templates which represent years of work.
Is there anyway to bypass or overcome the error so I can at least get the data mentioned above back?
any help greatly appreciated
best wishes

To fix the error code -6584 you would need to verify and repair your Time Machine Backup.
Go to System Preferences > Time Machine.
Hold down the Option key on your keyboard and click the Time Machine menulet and then selecting "Verify Backups".

Errors when trying to use time machine backup

Here is the error I receive when trying to back up my computer with Time Machine. Is there any way to fix it without completely wiping the Time Capsule and starting over? My husband would love it if we could find a way since all of his back up information is on it too!

Here is the error that I am encountering:
The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/**Name of Bundle**.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1).

Error stopped copying backup on time machine

An error message was given that it could not copy the backup on my time machine. It worked for years without any trouble.

Since you didn't tell us what exactly is that error message, have a look here http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html for troubleshooting.

HT3275 The error message I get with Time Machine is 'Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while creating the backup folder.' Any idea how I solve this problem?

I am a little perplexed. The Time Machine does seem to be backing up my data but I continually get the following message displayed on my screen 'Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while creating the backup folder.' I am using a WD My Passport for Mac portable hard disk drive.

Error using migration assistant and time machine

Daughter dropped water on our old macbook pro. Got a new one and trying to restore using backups to our time capsule, but we are receiving this error using the migration assistant: "Make sure that all of your network devices are connected and turned on. It appears that some backups are already in use. If you don't see the backup you need, make sure it is not currently mounted by another machine and try again."
any suggestions on how to transfer the data from time capsule to new macbook?

Do you see the backups in the Select Your Disk window?
If so, can you connect to them?
Make sure Time Machine is OFF on all Macs on your network. If any backups are trying to run, cancel them. If they won't cancel after a few minutes, see #D6 inTime Machine - Troubleshooting.
Also be sure no other Mac is looking at them. If you continue to get that message, disconnect all users, per #C12 in the same article.
If none of that helps, the backups may be damaged (could have happened when the old Mac died). Try to Repair them, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting
