How can i ensure that the time capsule back up all my data?

how can i ensure that the time capsule back up all my data and no any data missed during the back up? becz i was backing up my mac to time capsule for the first time and it takes only 5 hourse for 279GB which is doesnt make sense
any idea, how to ensure that all my data been backed up

well this tells you why you are having issues.. since you have a filevault and unless you are logged on as that user TM has no way to backup the vault.
so that is why the backup is so small.
And you cannot remove the file vault because the disk is too small.. you are in catch 22..
You cannot backup and you cannot remove the vault..
Login as the user who has the file vault and copy the files off the computer to a directory on the TC.. Then just delete the files on the computer.. that will then allow you to remove the file vault.
But never  will I ever use file vaults so I am being theoretical .. please read it up yourself.

You are not doing the background reading you need to understand what you are doing..
read the whole of pondini's info.. or at least skim it so you know what is there.
Avoid like the plague file vaults..
When disks go belly up, as they always do.. your files will be lost. Somewhere they need to be stored in the clear.. so why bother .. put better security on the computer and forget vaults.

  • I am selling my Mac Mini. I recently purchased OS X Lion. When I restore to factory settings, how can I ensure that the operating system will still be Lion, and not the original operating system, which I believe was Snow Leopard?

    If you bought Lion from the App Store, you can't legally or practically transfer it, because it's tied to your Apple ID. Reinstall the original software from the discs that came with the machine.

  • How can I ensure that the audio sample rare of my capture preset matches?

    Hi everyone
    When capturing tapes I get warning that the audio sample rate of one or more of captured files does not match the sample rate on my source tape. This may cause the vidio and audeo of the media files to be out of sync. How can I make sure that the my capture preset matches the sample rate of my tape? Can anyone be able to show me how? Thank you. Faruk.

    Hi
    Fuerther, I have double checked and found that none of my ten projects has sound, although audio meters settings moves up & down. Simultaniously, canvas displays that in- & out of clips are not set , and in browser I see time codes on the images when the playhead stops in timeline. I did not have this problem before. I wonder appreciate if if these issues are interrelated, and if I may have clicked something that has triggered this.
    I would appreciate it if you or other friends could kindly address this problem and help me resolve the isssue. Thank you. Faruk.

  • HT201250 How can I verify that the time machine has backed up all the files on my macbook pro?

    Does someone have experience with the question I have raised on Time machine?

    I use the Time Machine Buddy widget. It shows the log files or you could look in the Console and spotlight for Time Machine.

  • My Macbook Pro will not boot up.  How can I get to the time machine back up?

    When I turn on my Macbook Pro, it gets to the gray screen with the Apple logo and the spinning beach ball and stays there.  I use Time Machine with a Seagate external harddrive to back up my files.  I at first thought recovery meant using Seagates's Replica software, so I followed the instructions, inserting the recovery CD and booting up to the C drive.  The Seagate tecnical support person informed me that I was in error and that because I was using Time Machine, the Replica recovery CD would not be useful to me.  Now I have two problems.  I can't boot up, and I can't get the Replica CD out of the C drive.  So I have several questions.  How do I remove the CD?  There doesn't appear to be a place to use the old paper clip method.  Once I've removed the CD, how do I reinstall the OS?  I don't seem to have a hard copy of Mavericks that should have come with this laptop.

    Restart, hold the mouse button down as it boots, it should be ejected.

    Lets take this step by step…
    Once the disk is ejected see if 10.9 can boot normally.
    If that fails let us know what happened.
    Power off & disconnect your Time Machine disk and any other external disks just for now (so we know it is safe & not causing this issue).
    Reboot & hold alt - it will take you into the 'boot picker' it will list all available boot disks. Make a note of how many disks appear and what the names are - let us know here.
    You could try picking the 'recovery partition' if available. That should eventually show you a screen where you can select Disk Utility in the list of options…
    In Disk Utility select the 'boot disk' – this is usually the item above 'Macintosh HD' (or whatever your boot disk is called).
    Select the 'First Aid' tab
    Repair any disk damage that is reported via 'verify'. Then select the 'Macintosh HD' & repair the permissions too.
    Recovery mode explained…
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    If you have no recovery partition you can use 'Internet recovery mode' (Command+Option+R at startup) - this downloads enough to repair & install 10.9. Try to use an ethernet connection for the internet - it can be many times faster & more stable than wifi.
    Once that completes reboot, hold alt & select your main boot disk (maybe Macintosh HD) if it is available.
    The recovery partition can also be used to download & install 10.9.3. However you should probably see what state the Mac's boot disk is in. It's possible that erasing & reinstalling is the only option. If you go down this route you can restore the Time Machine backup, but it's better to see if it can be fixed first.

  • How can I verify that the PCI-6534 is using all of its onboard memory?

    When using a PCI-6534 under Windows 98 with NI-DAQ 6.9, I need to transfer a small buffer (8126464 bytes) to the adapter, and get it into the onboard memory. The board is configured for 32 bits output, and I'm using handshake mode. DAQ_GET_DEVICE_INFO tells me that there is 33554432 bytes for each Group. DIG_Block_Check shows that 2031587 words (8126348 bytes) are remaining to transfer. Is that in the PC system memory or the PCI-6534 on board memory? How can I tell if it is safe to reuse the (PC side) buffer? Also, How big is the FIFO on the PCI-6534?

    When you call DIG_Block_Out, NI-DAQ first downloads your data into the 6534 memory. Only after the download is done (which should happen at about 80 MB/s) it starts outputting data and DIG_Block_Out returns. So it is safe for you to reuse your PC memory buffer as soon as DIG_Block_Out returns.
    This is assuming your entire buffer fits in memory. If it doesn't, NI-DAQ will download all the data that fits and start the transfer, and as more 6534 memory becomes available the DMA channel will fill it up.
    The 6534 has a 16 sample FIFO and an additional 32 MB of memory for each handshaking group. So for 32-bit transfers you can fit 8 MSamples, for 16-bit transfers you can fit 16 MSamples (per group), and for 8-bit transfers you can fit 32 MSamples (per group) in the 6534
    memory.

  • How can I ensure that the audio sample rate of my capture preset matches?

    Hi
    1. I have found that none of my ten projects has sound, although audio meters & settings moves up & down.
    Simultaniously, canvas displays that In: Not Set- & Out Not Set. Below those reads: Video V1: 00:03:42;13 Audio A1: 00:03:42;13 A2: 00:42;13. These happen on the images of all my ten projects when the playhead stops in timeline
    2. In Viewer the In & Out sets show a thin red line connecting them.
    I never had this problem before. A/V of all projects were doing just fine till last night.
    I wonder if these issues are interrelated, or if I may have clicked something wrongly that has triggered this, which I don't remember now.
    I would appreciate it if you could kindly address this problem and help me to resolve the isssue. Thank you. Faruk.

    The red line indicates the audio must be rendered. This may be caused by several things but your playback settings may be set too high for your system to handle. You may have too many audio tracks for your computer to play in realtime.
    Select one of the audio files in the timeline, get properties, not the audio format and sampling rate.
    Now got to Sequence>Settings and determine if the settings match your audio settings.
    Your online help system can guide you through adjusting your system settings, user settings and sequence settings.

  • How can I ensure that the tabs I pin as apps get saved for when I reopen Firefox?

    On my desktop computers (Macs), they get saved. On my laptop (also a Mac), they do not. Is there a setting a need to change?
    Thanks,
    Nick

    App (pinned) tabs and Tab Groups (Panorama) are stored as part of the session data [1] in the file sessionstore.js [2] in the Firefox profile folder [3].
    Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.

    Well if you got the Phone Pggray43 at a Local Corporate store in your Area)  you should be able to return it as long as you have all the contents.!  Phone, Charger and any other accessories that came with it the Box of Course.. As long as you have not went past the 14 Day return.. the store can go over what you used as in Air Time and Data..
    Now if you've went past the 14 Day return you be Liable to pay a E.T.F =  Early Termination Fee the fee for this is around $300 so hopefully you have not went past the 14 Day return window the Manager if Available is the one I would talk to tell them your on Social Security and you just can't afford a phone as this I'm sure they'll work with you to get something solved..
    Hope ya have Good Luck.! b33

  • TS2655 imac can no longer find the time capsule to add it...how do i fix this

    my imac can no longer find the time capsule....i had to delete the old network and re add the time capsule to create a new one and now the imac keeps searching for the base and cant locate it

    If you mean that Time Machine can't find the Time Capsule, I'd try using the Time Machine panel of System Preferences to redeclare your backup disk.  If that's not what you mean, please explain.

  • Im syncing my iphone to itunes because i cant unlock the phone due to water damage so that i can take what is on it and put it on a new phone. how can i ensure that everything was taken from the phone and where can i find it in itunes?

    my phone recently suffered water damage so that the screen does not reigster when i slide to unlock. I am sycing the data from the phone onto itunes so i can put it onto a new phone. How can i ensure that i took everything off of the old phone before i restore it and where can i find all of that stuff when i sync with the new phone?

    iTunes will only store a back up of the iPhone and you find this by following the steps below:
    Windows
    Edit>Preferences>Devices
    Mac
    iTunes>Preferences>Devices
    The link below can show you what is stored in an iTunes back up:

  • Airport TimeCapsule wireless works fine, but iMac can no longer find the time capsule disk for backups.

    Hi,
    I have a new Airport TimeCapsule that I set up about two weeks ago in combination with a new iMac running OS 10.9.4.  It ran fine until 2 days ago, when the TC disk image disappeared from the iMac and Time Machine was not able to back up.  I tried to find the TC in Airport Utility and it states the "Airport Time Capsule was previously part of your network. Check that it is still in range of your network and is plugged into a power outlet..."  I've tried restarting the time capsule. I've tried restarting everything in order (modem>TC>iMac) and the iMac still cannot see the TC disk.
    I've had two other issues that I will list in case they are all related somehow:
    1) The time capsule took several attempts to set up when I first bought it.  I had to reset the TC several times before I got all the way through the set up process successfully.
    2) I tried hooking up my printer to the USB port on the airport time capsule and although my MacBook could see it and print to it just fine, my iMac was never able to see it.
    The TC is hooked up to the iMac via ethernet cable.  Does any of this sound familiar to anyone?  I'm about ready to send the time capsule back and just resurrect my old airport that worked flawlessly for years.  This airport TC has been a huge disappointment so far.
    Thanks

    There are some real issues between Mavericks and TC .. (or just network bugginess!!)
    There is a heap of things you can do but it is easier to just run through the whole lot in order. None is necessarily the cure and that is why doing all is important.
    The list is in this thread.
    Airport Utility shows "unexpected error - please try again" when connecting to Time Capsule
    In your case using ethernet can be a problem.. let me say please make sure you have ipv6 set to link-local only in your ethernet setup. I usually only show it in wireless but for you it must be ethernet. The wireless connection seems to be utterly required now for connection.. and hidden away into the airport utility is a switch over from wireless to ethernet. When I made the manual setup instructions above this particular ability (or stupidity) of the Airport Utility was not apparent to me.
    So here is typical Airport Utility (AU) v6.. but it is actually working over wireless only. (The v5 utility was wireless + ethernet).
    I have an ethernet client on the network that is completely invisible.
    Click on the Other WiFi Devices (wrongly named.. it should say other devices).
    And you will see the option to choose ethernet.
    Then the AU sees the ethernet client and none of the wireless clients.. brilliant stuff eh??
    PS this is just a test setup.. never would I have any TC with such an illegal name.. But I hope it shows you what to do.
    Fix the names.. most important.. keep them short.. less than 10 characters all the better.
    No spaces and pure alphanumeric.
