I'm not bald yet, but will be after messing with Time Machine
Intel iMac Rev B. Two external drives, both less than 6 months old, one less than a week old. Maxtor 750GB, Seagate Freeagent Pro 1TB (bought last week).
Per previous support posts, Time Machine stopped working smoothly after my update from 10.5.2 to 10.5.3. After working that issue out, it seemed to be working again.
Long story short, I can't get TM to work on either drive. I have erased, re-partitioned (in the correct format for the Intel iMac), restarted TM and I get a multitude of issues. Sometimes the initial back up goes through, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes the backups work as they should for a week, and sometimes, stop working after the first incremental backup.
I went out last week and bought the Seagate to confirm the problem wasn't a hard drive issue. I'm finding it next to impossible that I've got two bad drives that won't work with Time Machine, so I clearly think this is an Apple Software issue. As now I've got the Maxtor drive partitioned and doing A and B backups with SuperDuper.
It's getting expensive buying external harddrives. What other support for Time Machine is out there?
**Note - I have not applied the latest 10.5.5 update yet....anybody find that Time Machine works better with that update??**
Thanks.

I let TM run through the night, here are another set of errors:

I'm backing up again with SUperDuper and then will move onto 10.5.5. Hopefully the errors are resolved with the update.

Thank you for the quick response. Booting from the SL DVD, partitioning, and then a full restore has worked.
Great!
It did take a bit for me to figure out how to select the SL DVD - the HD already had a restore on it that was causing the panic. The 'alt' key is a great trick for selecting your boot device.
So is the "C" key. That will boot from the CD (or DVD) in the SuperDrive. -
HT201250 Will restoring a mailbox with time machine delete new mail?
I recently changed internet service provider and chaned the settings in mail to send/recieve with new provider. I removed the old account (pop & SMTP) and the items I had saved in my old mailbox disappeared.
I need to recover some items in that mailbox. I was going to use time machine to recover these files and wanted to know if doing this will delete current mailbox (information/settings).
Some additional advice would be really appreciated on how to avoid losing information in the future.
Can anyone help????Quit Mail.
Go to the FInder, select Go, then GO to Folder. Paste this:
~/Library/Mail/V2/
A finder window will open in your Home Library to the Mail folder.
With that window active, enter TM. Navigate back in time and find the account folder you deleted. Highlight it and click to restore.
Once done, open Mail. The account you deleted should be there with the messages. Create a local folder and move those messages to it. Then, you can once again delete that account from mail.
Messages in a POP accounts are stored on the computer within that account. Creating local mailboxes and moving messages to them will move the messages out of the account. Since local mailboxes are not affected by specific accounts, they won't get deleted when you do delete an account. -

Hi all,
When I open the iphoto library in my hard drive, its says that I have to open iphotos with the "control" option. So I did it and opened a "different library" and try again to do it from the extrenal drive, but again, its says the same thing. Please help! I would like to be sure all my back ups pictures are there and be able to watch them
Thanks in advance!A Time Machine backup of the iPhoto Library is not useabel by iPhoto until you Restore it with Time Machine. To restore the library go into Time Machine, go to the date you want, located your Pictures folder, select the library and use the Restore button.
Be warned that this will overwrite your current library so if it's just a test select Save Both in the window that comes up.

Anyone any advice on how to stop my mail "activity" from continuously caching? is this a problem? I have had inbox issues recently that are not resolved yet but I am not sure if they are related.
Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results. -
I need to setup 7800 Series IP Phones in the CUCM 8.6.2 which by default are not support but will work after install the software. Anyone have document from Cisco as I remember I seen once before.
Hi Ali,
I'll just add this reference to the good tips from my friend Manish (+5)
Support for the 7800 series in CUCM 8.6.2 was first added with this
Device Pack;
Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Device Package 8.6(2)(24104-1)Release Notes
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Device Package Release 8.6(2)
adds support for the Cisco IP Phones
7821, 7841, and 7861 running SIP firmware release 10.1(1).
The steps are in this doc
http://www.cisco.com/web/software/282074299/107528/cmterm-devicepack-8.6.2.24104-1_Readme.pdf
You might as well install the latest 8.6.2 Device pack
cmterm-devicepack8.6.2.24112-1.cop.sgn
Cheers!

Mac book pro stops responding after Maverick OS restart. Currently have a circle with a line through it after 20+ hours. Tried to shut it down and use the Time Machine to restore but no response. How can I restore with Time Machine if it will not start?
sonjadg,
you can purchase a replacement pair of grey installation DVDs for your MacBook Pro from either Apple or iFixit. If Startup Manager is only showing an OS X Installer volume, then it sounds like the Mavericks installer had a problem midway through its installation process. To fix this, you’re going to need to erase your internal disk and reïnstall your original version of OS X from the grey Mac OS X Install DVD, use Software Update to get it back to 10.6.8 (presuming that your MacBook Pro originally came with Snow Leopard), and then restore from Time Machine. -
My iPhone 5 will not send photos but will send text. I went to settings and everything seems good to go but I cannot send photos to anyone via messages...please help
When you said you went to Settings and everything seems good. Does that mean the MMS was turned on? If so, and this is only being experienced when dealing with SMS/MMS, then you should contact your carrier to have them check to make sure your account is provisioned for MMS, and that everything is alright with your account. SMS/MMS is a carrier function.

On imac 10.6.8 using current version of Aperture. How can I access the Aperture Library on my external hard drive that I use with time machine for backup? I can only access the application but not the library..
Go into Time Machine (the program not the bundle on the extrnal disk) and using Time Machine's browser go to the Folder where the library lives. You could look in the library bundle in Time Machine but that won't really tell you much,
If you want to make sure it truely has backed up your library you will need to restore it and open the restored library with Aperture.
If all this still has you confused you need to read up on Time Machine in order to get a feel for how it works, for what it is doing and for how to restore files from it. -
We had a lot of data on our Mac (i.e. photos, iTunes libraries etc) which we backed up via Time Machine. The hard disk corrupted so we had to get it wiped. When we got it back, my parents started using the mac as per usual but they didn't do a full System Restore from Time Machine. So, if I do a full restore now, will it erase any of the new photos, musc etc that is currently on the mac?
The Time Machine restore will only restore what is on Time Machine. Making a clone is probably a better means of ensuring whatever data you want recovered gets recovered together with Time Machine.
Generally speaking, applications that are newer than the operating system from Apple that are included with the operating system are not supported. So in your data recovery process from your clone, you'll have to be careful what data you choose to copy back. -
After restoring backup new macbook with time machine Firefox will not start. says missing profile
after restoring backup on new macbook with time machine Firefox will n to start. It says it is missing profile although profile exists and profile manager will not start. Also reinstalling does not help. Direct after starting Firefox it says profile is missing and then quits Firefox. Please help edit
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

working in adobe illustrator - computer crashed - will not soft boot or reset PRAM - should i reinstall from CD snow leopard 10.6.3? I have an extra hard drive in my MAC with time machine on it set to do auto back ups. How do i recover ?
Well first you have to figure out what is wrong with the machine and solve that problem first.
Your post is very vague on what occured, and there are many types of "crashes" it really depends upon what see on the screen and what the hardware does, we can't see it to tell you, so you have to tell us.
I suggest you run through these user tips and provide more information about your hardware.

If this is going way over your head, there are local PC/Mac techs that will assist you for a fee, Apple only does hardware repairs and is advised to use them if you discover it is, especially if under warranty/AppleCare.
Hard drive and RAM upgrades can be handled yourself or by a outside tech in many older models of Mac, but don't expect Apple to cover the new parts.

When you restore from a Time Machine back up you can pick and chose what is restored. It is not an all or nothing process. Nor do you have to do the partial restores all at the same time. If days after the first partial restore you find something else you want you can restore just that.

I backup to an external hdd with Time Machine, when it ran out of space it did not delete old backups, now my internal hdd says its full when before it had heaps of space. I have searched for extra files but cant find any. Can anyone help, please.
First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
To locate large files, you can use Spotlight as described here. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
You can also use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.
