  • How can i change the backup intervals on time machine

    how do i change the backup intervals on the timemachine? i found one answer that told me to go into system>library>launchdaemons, but i dont have the file com.apple.backupd-auto.plist in the launchdaemons folder to change the second increments. what am i missing and what can i do to change it like others have?

    Hello Oilfield Dan:
    This will change your TIme Capsule backup intervals:
    sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.backupd-auto StartInterval -int 14400  To every four hours.  My issue is that when I run this it won't change it.. Still does it every hour.. Do you have any thoughts on WHY this will not change... Even with reboots, resets, poweroff.  UNIX should do what you tell it but this is not working. I do not want to use the GUI Time Capsule interval changer. I want to have total control. Does anyone know???? THANK YOU.

  • How do I find the Library folder on time machine back up disk

    I had to rebuild my iMac and wanted to start fresh.  I'm useing mountain lion and had everything backed up with time machine.  The problem that i'm having is that I can't get the aplication support floder to show up in the library folder that you find under user menu.  I know if you hold down the option key while youpull down the go window it will show up on your Mac, but how do I get to the one that is on your time machine backup, useing Moutian Lion?  Thanks for any help.

    Once you have the folder open in the Finder, enter Time Machine and you'll see the snapshots of the folder.

  • TM problem "Unable...Error occurred while creating backup directory."

    TM has faithfully created backups until 2/3/09 to my Western Dig 300 GB external, USB connected. It still has room for 238 GB data. Now it gives me this error message:

    I downloaded CarbonCopyCloner, thinking I may have to erase External drive and start over,...but it also failed with a LONG< LONG error message. Can anyone help?

    mounted or unmounted? I suspect it's the former.
    I've never booted up from Leopard install disk. Can you give me steps?
    while the problem seems to be with your TM disk you can try repairing both of them from the install DVD. insert the DVD and reboot normally. hold "c" at the chime. you'll be booted into leopard installer. once past the language selection screen choose 'disk utility" from Utilities menu at the top.

  • 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.

    Hi Peter,

  • HT3275 How do I correct this problem - Time Machine could not complete back up. An error occurred while creating the backup folder? The problem started on 5th March but I had backed up to an iomega HD since I got my iMac in October.

    I have had a problem since 5th March with Time Machine on my iMac. I have had no problem since I got the computer in October backing up to an iomega HD but now I keep getting a message that "Time Machine could not complete the backup. An error occurred while creating the backup folder". Anyone know how to correct this?

    I had the same "Error creating the backup folder" error - many times over.
    I went into the Disk Utility, selected the Backup Disk and ran Verify. It checked out OK. But if not, could have run Repair.
    Then did a complete shutdown and restart of the iMac and then tried "Backup Now" from the Time Machine icon's menu - it worked fine.

  • I have an iMac OS X 10.6.8 and have problems with the backup Disk for Time Machine disconnecting itself with the message that I ejected it improperly.. It ejected itself - why?

    I have an iMac OS X 10.6.8 and have problems with the backup drive to Time Machine ejecting itself and so does not automatically backup the way it is meant to do. It is connected with an USB cable to my iMac. What could cause this - malfuntioning drive?

    The "iLife" apps are not part of any Mac operating system install and are a separate purchase.
    Once you get past 10.6.6 you can purchase and download iPhoto, GarageBand and iMovie. iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued.
    Snow Leopard 10.6.6 and higher include the App Store application which is what you use to purchase Lion.

  • A fatal error occurred while creating an SSL client credential. The internal error state is 10011.

    Need help.  I have my pilot lync 2013 pool up (in coexistence with 2010 production environment) and can log into Lync 2013 environment with a lync 2010 client but am not able to with a lync 2013 client.  It just prompts for password but will not
    take it. I'm sseeing this on my front end server multiple times:
    A fatal error occurred while creating an SSL client credential. The internal error state is 10011.
    Came across this http://www.logicspot.net/index.php?id=50 and tried disabling TLS 1.2, which I did and verified but yet the issue still exists.
    All my certs are good coming from internal CA.  My signin logs show below but keep in mind, this works just fine if using a 2010 lync client to my lync 2013 servers.  Issue only occurs when trying to connect using a lync 2013 client.

  • I had itunes played from my PC to my music system that is connected through a nework.  It use to work fine, but now I get an error message that say "An error occured while connecting to the Airplay Device "Stereo".  An unknown error occured (-15000)".

    When trying to play itunes from my PC to my stereo connected to an Airport Express, I gen an error that says "An error occured while connecting to the Airplay device "Stereo" an unknown error occured (-15000)".  This has happened before and for reasons unknown to me, the problem corrects itself, then it starts again/  Makes me wish I did not have my music on itunes.

    moehadi, Welcome to the discussion area!
    This is typically caused by a firewall or Internet security software running on your PC. Please read the comments in "Error -3256 or -15000 when streaming to AirPort Express base stations using iTunes".
    Also there is "iTunes 8: Unknown error -15000 when attempting to stream music to devices connected to AirPort Express with AirTunes".

  • A fatal error occurred while creating an SSL client credential. The internal error state is 10013.

    Hi All
    I am seeing the below event appearing in the system log on all our Exchange 2013 servers regularly. I am not seeing any connectivity issues between any clients and the servers and no other issues have been reported at this stage.
    Log Name:      System
    Source:        Schannel
    Date:          10/04/2015 9:21:17 AM
    Event ID:      36871
    Task Category: None
    Level:         Error
    Keywords:     
    User:          SYSTEM
    Computer:     
    Description:
    A fatal error occurred while creating an SSL client credential. The internal error state is 10013.
    I am not sure if its related to the public certificate we are using or if its related to the one provided from the local CA.I have searched and found other links that suggest it could be related to SSL versions being disabled etc.
    All servers are running Windows 2012 R2 Datacenter. The Exchange CAS servers do also sit behind a pair of F5 BIG IP Load Balancers 
    Any suggestions on where to look?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    According to the event log, the issue is related to Schannel instead of Exchange.
    Please try the following steps:
    1.In Control Panel, click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Local Security Policy.
    2.In Local Security Settings, expand Local Policies, and then click Security Options.
    3.Under Policy in the right pane, double-click System cryptography: Use FIPS compliant algorithms for encryption, hashing, and signing, and then click Enabled.
    4. Ran gpupdate /force
    If it doesn’t work, please go to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA and grant "Network Services" Read permission to "MachineKeys" folder. Then restart server to have a try.

    When i upgraded from LION to MOUNTAIN LION it made NO difference at all to my MyBook Live !!!
