HT1218 Time Capsule is showing error code -6584)

My Time Capsule is showing error code - "An unexpected error occurred (error code -6584)"; can someone tell me what this means? Correlated, Time Machine does not show any backed up data although it says that ~400 GB out of 1 TB is remaining.

A simple reboot of the whole network.. from off.. modem .. router/TC.. clients.. 2min gap will probably fix it.
If it keeps happening, tell us your OS. (Most likely Mountain Lion.. which has networking ability of wet string and a pair of tin cans).

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"

What is error code -6584 as related to Time Machine?

When I try to access time machine on my Macbook Pro I get an error code -6584. I'm using a 1Tb Time Capsule.

First, if this is your only backup, you must make another full backup to a locally-attached external hard drive. One backup is never enough to be safe, and backing up over a network is less reliable than backing up locally. Then try each of the following steps that you haven't already taken.
1. Restart the backup device. You can do that by disconnecting and reconnecting the power cord.
2. Hold down the option key and select Verify Backups from the TM menu in the menu bar (not the Dock icon.) This operation may take a long time. If the menu-bar icon (a clock that runs backwards) isn't showing, check Show Time Machine in menu bar in the preferences.
3. Erase the backup device. With a Time Capsule, you do that from within the AirPort Utility application; see its built-in help for details. All backups will be lost, so don't do this until you've backed up to another device. After erasing, select the TC again as a backup destination in the TM preference pane. The first backup should be made over a wired connection, if possible.

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".

I keep getting this when trying to open Time machine: An unexpected error occurred (error code -6584). time machine wont even open up. My Time capsule has a green lite and appears fine
Thaks,

This often means the backup is corrupted.
First of all reboot the network.. turn everything off and restart in order.. modem.. TC.. clients.
If you still have issues, hold the option key when you click the Time Machine icon on the top menu and it will bring up verify backups.
Do that.

It seems to be a fairly complex problem if the above don't work.

Rename the hard disk..
Then point the TM to the disk of the TC.

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

I cannot enter my time machine. I have a message with "error code −6584"

I am trying to access my time machine. I have an error message saying that an unexpected error occurred (error code -6584)

Reboot the whole network first and then retry TM.
If that doesn't work then do a verfiy of the backup.
hold the option key and click the TM icon in the top right area.. a menu with verify appears run that..
If still no good there is a long post with more info.. just follow the More Like This on the right to see if other solutions work.

HT201514 Time Machine - Error code -6584, what to do?

I have received the the following message from my Time Machine - The operation can't be completed An unexpected error occured (error code -6584)
What do I do to resolve it?
I have restarted the time machine.

There are several references to the error in discussion if you look at the more like this on the right ..
This one has some answers.. basically option click on the Time Machine icon and use the verfiy backups.

I don't think Pondini lists that particular error but it is caused by a combo of issues.
He has a few answers listed in the post above.
You have listed the OS is 10.7.4 Is this correct??
There was a supplement to 10.7.5 to fix some serious TM issues.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1599
Then just follow some of the instructions in the pondini trouble shooting.
If the backups are corrupted you might need to erase and start again.. this is not unusual with wireless connection.

An unexpected error occurred (error code -6584).

I get this error mesage, "An unexpected error occurred (error code -6584)." when I try yo run Time Machine application. Time capsule is not showing up under Devices in Finder, and no backups are happening?

This means the backup has likely become corrupted.
Reboot the TC just to be sure.. and even the whole network.. restarting in correct order, modem.. TC and clients with 2min gap.
No luck then do a verify of the backups.
See A5 here http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
There is another method.. hold the option key as you click the TM icon clock in the top menu.. you will see verify backups there.
Sometimes it is hard to get past it and the only way is to wipe the old backup and start afresh.
See this thread amongst many.. as this is not uncommon.
