HT201250 Can I shut down my mac in the middle of a time capsule backup?

If I shut down my mac when time capsule is processing a backup, will it cause any problems?

Only a minor problem.  The backup will be cancelled, so after you start your Mac up, the next backup will have to do a "deep scan" to figure out what's changed since the last (completed) backup.   That will take somewhat longer than usual.

  • I checked my mail, then opened safari, now the light on the mail icon is on, but I can't open nor quit it! Hence can't shut down my mac

    I checked my email, then opened safari, when I went back to mail, it was gone, the light under the icon is on, but I can't open the email nor quit the application, hence can't shut down my Mac!
    Help!

    Read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3411.  If this doesn't work, just hold the power button down for 5-10 seconds and your mac will shut down.

    Try quitting your mail again

  • Can't shut down my Mac desktop

    Ok, so I bought a Mac to get away from PC's, and only after two days of having it, I can't shut it down. I thought Mac's weren't supposed to have this problem. Here's the deal: I downloaded MS Office and then ran the software update. It said I had to shut down Mozilla in order to finish the install. I have tried force "quitting" Mozilla, but it won't shut down. So, I tried to stop the installation and when I force "quit" it it tells me "The Window can't be closed." So, I tried to shut down my mac and it says I have to stop the install in order to shut it down. Are you serious? I bought a Mac to get away from this problem, unfortunately I am still stuck with silly little issues like this! Please help! What do I do?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions and Mac-computing.
    First, what have you done to try and force quit Mozilla? Do you mean Firefox? Did you try control-click on the dock icon? Or from the drop-down click on force quit? Or command-option-esc?
    How did you download MS Office? From MS or another site?
    How did you try to shutdown the Mac?

  • My mail won't open or close and I can't shut down my mac

    My mail won't open or close and I can't shut down my Mac

    Same here.
    Can't be. This forum covers pre-2006 iMacs; MacBook Pros have a completely different architecture and therefore different issues. For Mail problems, the best place to post is in the forum for your OSX version from the list here:
    Mac OS & System Software
    BTW, my wife and I both use Apple mail and have not had any issues from about OSX 10.6 on. Admittedly, when Mail was introduced with OSX thirteen years ago, it had some real problems, but they seem to have been fixed.

  • Can I shut down my Macbook during the setup screen

    Can I shut down my Macbook May 2010 during the setup screen (The Snow Lepoard SetUp Screen)
    Because I don't want to set it up due to selling it.
    Thanks

    Of course. If you didn't set up the MacBook Pro yet, simply hold the Power button to turn it off and sell the MacBook Pro. Remember to give the DVDs that came with your MacBook to the new owner. Tell the new owner to install iLife from the Applications disc

  • Software Updater doesn't work, can't shut down my mac

    Hi,
    I am using the Mac OS 10.5 and have a problem with my Software Updater. If I open the "Software Updater" from the Apple-Menu nothing happens, if i press on the button "Software Updater" in the "About this Mac" window, again no reaction. If I open the "System Preferences" and click there on "Search" in the window "Software Updater" again nothing happens.
    I have another problem which might occured at the same time as the discribed above. If I shutdown my mac it starts shutting down but then goes to the LogIn menu of my account, if i try to shut it down there it starts shutting down and comes back to the logIn menu.
    The problem startet to occure after I ones interrupted the software update.
    Yesterday I installed the Combo Update for Mac OS X 10.5.6 (before 10.5.5) which I downloaded from the Apple website, but it didnt help. Basicaly before I installed the update the buttons for the Sofware Updater couldnt even been clicked and if I was shutting down the notebook it went to this supernova background picture which I had when i was turning on my mac for the first time.
    Any ideas how i can solve this problems? Searched the web but could find anything.
    Thanks in advace
    Zhe

    It sounds like the aborted software update messed up your system.
    I'd opt for an Archive & Install of Mac OS X using your Leopard DVD.

  • Mail won't display the viewer window, and it will not close (force quit does not show in menu bar).  Can't shut down to reboot because the open mail program prevents it.   Any advice?

    Mail does not show the viewer window even when new viewer window is cliced.  I tried to close mail and reopen, but it will not close, and force quit option does not appear in window bar.   I tried to shut down the computer and reboot, but it cannot close because of open mail program it says.    Help!

    Many thanks.  Once I was able to close mail, it reopened and behaved quite normally.  Thank you.  I'll remember the option quit for force quite!

  • Sharing a 74 GB Iphoto11 file with 3 MACs in the house+an 1TB Time Capsule

    Hi. I run the Iphoto 11 and my 74 GB file from my MacBook Pro. But when I am in the office my wife and child cannot work neither import fotos to Iphoto. We have an IMac and a Macbook Air as well. I would like to place the Iphoto file on the our 1TB Time Capsule which we use as a network storage drive (is not used for backup). Please give me a god advice how to solve the issue

    This is a pretty easy setup.
    Basically just plug the new TC WAN port into the old TC LAN port.
    Run the airport utility on the computer and it should recognise that the new TC is plugged into another one.. and setup bridge mode and create a wireless network.. if not you can jump in and edit it at the end of the setup.
    You could also swap things around with the new TC as the main router.. and the old one as the secondary.. but people are experiencing some issues with WAN connection to some cable modems.. so you need to be prepared if you have issues to go back to the original setup.
    You will use an ethernet patch cable to connect them. I recommend if you have them in the same area place them at least a couple of meters apart.. so buy a 2-3M patch cable at least.. (8-9ft). Even better would be to install the new TC closer to the clients that will use it.. to improve wireless in dark corners of your house.. but all that can come later.
    My 2nd question is: Can I move several 100 GB of old data that I rarely use onto the 3TB TC so that I could access the data from either computer whenever I need it, without having the data on either computer?
    This is a lot harder question.. not in how to do it.. it is simple.. copy and paste files onto the new TC.. that is not the issue..
    The problem is backup of the files that no longer exist on the computers. Ironically the TC is problematic for one major reason.. it cannot back itself up.. nor can Time Machine (TM) backup network drives. Even though TM uses the TC to store the backup it cannot actually work to backup the TC. The problems are not insurmountable.. you can use a third party backup.. eg CCC but it will be extremely slow. A better strategy if one of your computers is a desktop is to install an external drive and share it to the network. The data rate will be hugely better.. and TM can backup as per normal.

  • I can't shut down my IPad button on top no longer seems to work

    I can't shut down my IPad. The button no longer seems to work.

    I realize you've stated that the sleep/wake button (button on top) no longer functions but try the follow anyways:
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

  • Mac Crashes in the middle of Time Capsule backup --HELP!

    Been using time capsule for several months without any issues. In fact, it has been great until recently. A week or so ago, my MacBookPro began crashing in the middle of a time capsule back up. Just suddenly the MAC curtain comes down and tells me I must restart. When I restart I get an error message which I have copied into this message. I tried erasing a whole months worth of backups but still get the same problem........is it possible my MAC has gotten a virus?? Anyone who can help, your comments would be greatly appreciated!!!

    Steve --
    Got this problem fixed. It seems the 10.5.3 update corrupted the update somehow. You can perform a disk image repair on the existing backup or just delete all your old back ups and start from scratch which is exactly what I did. Good luck!

  • Can i create mcx for shut down properly mac when battery is less 5 %

    Hi hello
    Can i create mcx for shut down properly mac when battery is less 5 % ?
    Thanks for your reply

    You can create a mailing list by using the "Groups" feature of Address Book. Simply select "New Group" from the File menu. Name the group, and drag the contacts you need into the group.
    In Mail, open up Preferences (under the Mail menu), and click on "Composing". Then make sure that "When sending to a group, show all member addresses" is unchecked.
    The auto reply is a feature that is better done on your mail server, as you Mac can only send an auto reply when it is on, with the Mail application open. If you use dot Mac, you can set up a vacation responder through the web, and you can leave your computer switched off.
    If you really want to leave your Mac on when you are on holiday, you can set up a mail rule (Preferences, Rules).
