HT201250 Can I change the schedule of time machine backups?

Time Machine is great but is there a way to change it so that it backs up at the end of every day (instead of every hour). I have found some software available that will edit the setup (free online) but would rather use something Apple 'guaranteed'!

Ohhh, no way!!

  • Can I limit the amount of Time Machine backups?

    Is it possible to limit the amount of Time Machine backups? I have a 2 tb drive to store back ups...it's nearly full. I'd like to use the drive for other things as well.
    Hope this makes sense.

  • How do I change the frequency of Time Machine backups?

    Time Machine backs up far to often for me.  I think it slows my computer down when it is backing up.
    There must be a way to change the frequency

    So far I have not seen Time Machine cause any slow down on my Macs nor have I seen it on any Mac for the users I help to support.
    I suggest you download and install EtreCheck from http://etresoft.com/etrecheck

  • Can you change the legth of time (or number of rings) it takes for on iphone 4 to time out making an outgonig call?

    Can you change the legth of time (or number of rings) it takes for on iphone 4 to time out making an outgonig call?
    Mostly it's to call in for radio contests. The Iphone is really good at making a quick call, but it seems to timeout after 15-20 rings. I realise this is a small thing, but free tickets is free tickets.
    Most commenst I see is abotu incoling calls, not outging.
    Thanks.

    No. You can't do this with any phone.

  • I login in ftp server, but my session will be closed very soon, can i change the ftp session time in mozila?

    I login in my ftp server by use of Mozila browser, but my session will be closed very soon, can i change the ftp session time in mozila?

    Do you mean you browse the FTP server in a tab? That usually works for anonymous FTP downloading, but if your server requires a login, it might not work well because Firefox doesn't do anything special to keep the session alive.
    Would you consider using an add-on such as FireFTP? It's a traditional FTP client that runs in a tab.

    Can I change the moments and time for photos?

    By editing the EXIF data. You'd need an EXIF editor for this...if using Windows, you can use Windows Exploroer. To do so on your phone, you need an app, like this:

  • I have created a new partition on the Mac HD for Lion as I would like to dual boot. Do I need to install Snow Leopard on that partition before installing Lion? If so, can I use one of my Time Machine backups to do this?

    Can I set up 2 different time capsule backups? one for the lion partition and one for the snow leopard partition?
    No, you can't partition a Time Capsule's internal HD.  Both partitions will back up to the same sparse bundle. keeping the backups for each partition separate.
    Time Machine will not take the two OSX partitions as two different computers, but for best results, exclude the Snow Leopard drive from backups on the Lion partition, and exclude the Lion partition from backups on the Snow Leopard partition.
    There may be some files on the Lion partition that Time Machine on Snow Leopard won't like, among other things.  See #10 in  Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions for details.

  • Can I increase the capacity of Time Machine with an external hard drive connected to Time Capsule?

    Can I increase the capacity of Time Machine with an external hard drive connected to Time Capsule via the USB port?  My current Time Machine has a total capacity of 1TB.  I'd like to double or triple its memory.  I don't want to use the external hard drive in lieu of the Time Capsule hard drive.  I'd like to use it in addition to.  Just don't know if/how it's possible.
    This is another one of those questions that I've searched the web for answers, and have gotten tricky answers back.  So now I'm trying to introduce a clean slate to the mix.
    Thank you for your time!

    Well, what you mentioning is possible.  However, I don't know whether it's supported (as in, "easy to set up.").  Time Machine officially supports backing up to a locally attached drive, to a machine running a Time Machine server (i.e. running OS X Server software), and to a Time Capsule.  I don't know that it officially supports a drive attached to an AirPort or to a Time Capsule.  Though I know some people have gotten it to work.
    Best I can say is to try it.  Plug the drive into the Time Capsule, ensure it's shared on the network, and then try and set it as a backup target from a machine in the Time Machine backup panel (you'll need to ensure it's mounted first).  If it works, you're all set.

    If not then you might be better off asking in the iTunes For Windows forum, you may be more likely to get better help there.

  • Can Yosemite read a snow leopard Time Machine backup

    Can Yosemite read a snow leopard Time Machine backup. Once I installed Lion over SL and it was a disaster since I could not get any docs or photos back, so had to put SL back on my old iMac.
    Will 10.10 give the same problem or is there a way to migrate the old 10.6.8 data to 10.10?
    Thanks

    Yes, you can do that. The only limitation is that you can't encrypt the backup volume.

  • Can I move all data from time machine backup to another external drive & work from it?

    Hi all, the harddrive on my macbook died (2nd time in a year) & I had a new one put in that's much smaller than the old one.  Can I move everything from my time machine backup onto a seperate external drive and work directly from that on my laptop/imac?  At the mo. I don't think time machine will recognise my computer as it's a new drive etc.  Thanks Jenny.

    What exactly do you want to do?
    Is it that you wish to extract an older version of some documents to edit, but leave the original intact?
    You can Restore an older version from TM and choose not to replace the current one.
    Or, do you wish to install the OS on your new drive, and migrate all the information from the TM backup to the new isntallation?
    EDIT: Ok, re-reading your question, I think macjack probably has the right idea.
    However, see Pondini's Time Machine FAQ # 16

  • Can't change the date and time

    On a recent trip abroad, my N96 automatically switched to the local time on arrival, but it failed to switch back to UK time when I returned. Now my phone is stuck 3 hours ahead, and it won't let me change the date or time manually. When I select Settings | General | Date and time, and click Open, 'Change' flashes up briefly, but even if I'm fast enough to click it, nothing happens.
    I've tried reverting to the Factory Settings, but that did not resolve the problem. I've also checked for Firmware updates, but there aren't any. Any suggestions for fixing this would be very welcome...

    Your operator doesn't seem to support time autoupdate while the operator you connected to while abroad does.
    Go into the clock settings and set auto time update to "off". Then set the time zone to "GMT 0:00 London". This should bring the clock's time back to what it should be. If it doesn't, at least you can do so manually now (having auto time update set to "on" removes your ability to set the date and time manually).
