Getting (error code -6584) when starting time machine

Hello, I have an early 2011 mbp running Lion. I tried this morning to start time machine and got the error described above. I have access to my time capsule but the program will not start. This is the first time I start time machine since installing lion.
What could be wrong?
thanks in advance

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".

  • 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

  • After a full restore from Time Machine, I get "error code -6584" when trying to go into TM.

    I took our iMac in, at the direction of Apple, to have the hard drive replaced. When we got it back, I restored from Time Machine (on Time Capsule). One file on the desktop, a spreadsheet file, has reverted to a version five months old, with the loss of considerable data, so I don't know which files I can now trust. Also, when I try to go into Time Machine, I get "error code -6584" and am unable to access my backups
    This is potentially very very bad. What can I do?

    Solved:
    sudo chflags 0 /Volumes/"FCP Time Machine BU"
    sudo chown 0:80 /Volumes/"FCP Time Machine BU"
    sudo chmod 775 /Volumes/"FCP Time Machine BU"
    sudo chmod -N /Volumes/"FCP Time Machine BU"

  • "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).

  • HT3728 I keep getting error code 6584 on my time capsule - should I do a hard reset?

    any help???

    This error has to do with the backup requiring a verification.
    A hard reset is ok, but I doubt it will fix the problem.
    Look at the info for verify in Pondini.
    See A5 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    There is also a long thread looking at this particular error.

    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause these errors. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
    Verify that access to ports 80 and 443 are allowed on your network.
    Verify that communication to albert.apple.com or photos.apple.com is not blocked by a firewall, or other Internet security setting.
    Discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps underAdvanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.
    Restore your device while connected to a different network.
    Restore using a different computer.

    Error 1611
    This error typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, this error may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    If you also unsuccessful on another computer then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. It would see that your iPod needs service as specified in the article.

  • Error code -10810 when starting up any app

    Getting error code -10810 when I click to start any app in the Application folder. Only thing different I did this morning was upgrading coconutBattery. I'm guessing that's the culprit but would like to know what the error code means.

    From LSInfo.h in LaunchServices.framework
    kLSUnknownErr = -10810 /* Unexpected internal error */
    Essentially, Launch Services is hosed. I would suggest blowing away your Launch Services cache.
    1) Quit all running apps
    2) Go to /Library/Caches
    3) Move any file to the trash that has "com.apple.LaunchServices" in its name. (i.e. 'com.apple.LaunchServices-0230.csstore')
    4) Go to ~/Library/Preferences
    5) Move com.apple.LaunchServices.plist to the Trash
    6) Restart
    Hope that helps.

  • Getting error code 150110 when installing Reader on Win7 and there is plenty of disk space.  Help!

    getting error code 150110 when installing Reader on Win7 and there is plenty of disk space.  Help!

    Hi pat27,
    Are you still facing this issue?
    Do you have any previous version of Reader installed, if yes and it is 9 or above. Uninstall that using Adobe Reader cleaner tool:  http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Once that is uninstalled restart your machine and try install again.
    Also you may try to create a new user profile with Admin rights and try to install again.

  • I keep getting error code 4450 when I'm trying to burn a CD from itunes.  It keeps my CD and won't eject it and says "cancelling burn" forever then itunes locks up and my cd is ruined and NO songs on it.

    i can't burn cd's in iTunes anymore. I get error code 4450 when I'm trying to burn a playlist. Songs from my own cd's, or bought in iTunes (have not burned 7x's as I can't BURN any cd's at all!),  Then my cd gets stuck in the drive. and it says "cancelling burn" forever and then itunes freezes up. I have a Dell with Windows 7.
    -I've slowed down the burn as slow as it can go
    -I have bought 3 different brands of cd's
    -i have the latest version of iTunes.
    Can someone help me?

    I have Windows 7 on a Dell.  Open and play iTunes in the compatability mode and use Windows XP (service pack 2).  Disregard any messsages to disable the compability mode.  This has worked for me.  I have also reinstalled iTunes and played with burn speeds etc.  These ideas did not work.  Compatability mode works.

  • Get error code 0x80070643 when I try to install Sql Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (KB2528583)

    I keep getting error code 0x80070643 when I try to install Sql Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (KB2528583)
    Operating System is Windows 2008 R2 64 bit

    Hi JamesRead,
    According to your description, when you install SQL Server 2008 R2 service pack 1, we need to verify if
    you must have administrative rights on the computer.
    There are multiple files available for the download, you will be prompted to select the files you need. We need to verify if you run the SQLServer2008R2SP1-KB2528583-x64-ENU.exe. Or you can install SQL server updates from the command
    prompt and check if it can install successfully.
    You can prepare an installation of database engine instance to include product update:
    setup.exe /q /IAcceptSQLServerLicenseTerms /ACTION=PrepareImage /UpdateEnabled=True /UpdateEnabled=True /UpdateSource=<path where the update is downloaded> /INSTANCEID=<Instance ID> /FEATURES=SQLEngine
    For more information, you can review the following article about installing Updates from the Command Prompt.
