Icloud stuck at calculating sizes

i'm getting a grey spinning wheel in mac mail, adjacent inbox icloud box. In checking Account info, icloud is stuck on icloud - calculating sizes. This is preventing mail coming in my MacBook yet mail is coming into both my iphone and ipad. Why? A fix someone, please?

I'm having the same problem. Any solutions?

Time machine - 1st backup - stuck on calculating size

Hello,
I'm running Time Machine for the first time on OSX Lion.
I've bought a external 2,5inch HD of 1TB.
I formatted it to Mac Os X Extended (Journaled). I added the disk as a time machine backup and ran the "backup now".
It's stuck on Calculating Size for about 30 minutes.
Does this take this long? Can't remember it took so long under SL.
thanks in advance,
greetings

I am having the same issue. When I attempt to restore my information from time machine, the restore seems to go well. But..right around the moment of 70% or so on the progress bar, (with about 20 minutes remaining) the "restore was successful" box pops up and prompts me to restart the machine. Upon restart I can not get past the white apple screen. I've tried just installing OSX
When you do that, has all your data been restored? If so, just download and install the "combo" update to get back to 10.6.6.
and then using migration assistant, but migration assistant does not recognize my time machine external. Any thoughts?
Try repairing your backups, per #A5 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).

Migration assistant from TimeMachine stuck on "calculating"

Hi
I Have just done a clean install of Mountain Lion on my 2011 iMac and am now trying to restore user info (I.e. files) from a TimeMachine back-up using migration assistant.
Migration Assistant has spent several hours, apparently stuck, on "calculating" for the size to migrate for the "Users" component. If I click continue, nothing gets migrated. Have restarted the process, and yet again it has been more than 3 hours and still it appears to be "calculating".
My questions:
- is this normal?
- if so, how long should I wait before giving up?
I have about 240Gb of music and photos on here that I'm hoping to restore.
Thanks for any tips!

Hi ndt,
That's what happened to me too. Time Machine keeps calculating file sizes when I tried to restore (using migration assistant), after a clean installation of Moutain Lion.
Yes I already did what Andy did to solve his problem, which is create a new admin and restore from that new account. This is required because Migration Assistant wont restore (overwrite) to an account with same username. Somehow, it gives me an infinite loop of calculating file sizes.
My solution was re-installing (clean) Mountain Lion. During the installation, use the Migration Assistant that comes with the installation set up program. Do not skip that process. For some reasons, it can calculate the file sizes and restore successfully.
Hope that is clear.
Thanks.

Time Capsule / Time Machine stuck on 'calculating changes'

Time Machine has not backed up to my Time Capsule for the last several weeks on my MacBook Pro. It is constantly stuck on 'calculating changes' for hours. I have tried other suggestions I have found in the forum like verify and repair disc on both my internal HDD and on the time capsule drive. No errors were found on either drive. I normally backup via wifi and I have also tried plugging directly into the time capsule with an ethernet cord. It doesn't make any difference either with wifi or ethernet.
The time capsule drive is full, but I just assumed that Time Machine would erase the oldest backups and continue. I don't know if this is an issue with the problem I am having. I downloaded the time machine widget as suggested in other posts on this topic, the log is posted below. There are errors about the disc being full and an error writing to the backup log. I don't know why it can't right to the log or what could be wrong. After looking at the logs, it appears that what is shown below just continues to repeat about every two hours (time machine seems to give up after about 2 hours and starts over again with the same result).
I am thinking of erasing the time capsule disc and trying to start over, but would like to figure why this has happened before I erase the disc. I am also worried about erasing my only backups, even if they are three weeks old. Entering time machines still seems to give me all of my older backups like nothing is wrong, but I haven't restored from one so they may not work if I tried.
Any help would or insight into this would be greatly appreciated.

Ordinarily it will. Do you have other data on the drive? If so, it appears that other data has completely filled the drive, so much so that Time Machine can't even start the hidden log it keeps there.

Usually when that happens, the backup crashes.
First, cancel the backup. If it won't cancel after a few moments, see #D6 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html].
Then connect via an Ethernet cable if at all possible. Time Machine needs to do some intensive work, and it will be slow even via Ethernet, but 2-3 times slower via WIFI.
If there's other stuff on the drive, you could copy some of it elsewhere temporary and delete it. You only need to free up 50 MB or so.
But your best bet is to delete your oldest backup(s), then "compact" the sparse bundle they're in, to make some space. See #12 of [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html].
Since it's been several weeks, you may want to delete roughly one old backup for each of those weeks, then "compact" the sparse bundle. If you only delete one, then Time Machine will have to delete more, but it will delete one, dismount the sparse bundle, compact it, then remount it to see if there's enough room. That gets repeated over and over until there's enough space.
Once this is sorted out, if there is other stuff on your TC's internal HD, see #Q3 in [Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule|http://web.me.com/pondini/TimeMachine/TimeCapsule.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).

Folder Information: Calculating Size slow

I'm trying to clean up my HD. When I select a folder and use Apple-I to find out the size I get the display "Calculating Size" but it takes a very long time to actually calculate the size, even for small folders.
Any ideas why? or a workaround.?

I'm using 10.5.2 and I don't have this issue. +Get Info+ calculates the size immediately!
It just calculated my entire audio folder's size in no more than a second, which is over 40gb...
Cover Flow is enabled, by the way
But I have Spotlight disabled! Which was killing my performance. I think Spotlight is causing lot's of headaches with Mac users, which might be the case here as well..........

Stuck in calculating time remaining, what do i do, its my second airport time capsule that i purchased as the first had a faulty hard drive, why is this soo hard!

This is my second airport time capsule as the first i purchaed had a faulty hard drive, so now, its been a while i keep trying hoping it will work but its always stuck in 'calculating time remaining'. i thought it was my wifi so i connected directly to the capsule using an ethernet cord, bought an adaptor as i have the new macbook air (4m old) 13 inch, still not working. Help please,i am thinknig of just returning it and getting a less expeecsive and easier one to use.

Mavericks is the pain here.
It can lose the network connection half way through a backup.
When you connect by ethernet (good to get that.. hope it is the thunderbolt to ethernet).. did you turn off the wireless.. this is important.. nothing changes if the wireless is still on.
I recommend you start over. Keep the wireless on for this part.
Stop the backup.
Factory reset the TC.
Redo the TC setup but this time use all short names, no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
I know the airport utility will suggest apple names..
Fred Blog's Airport Time Capsule.
Don't fall for it.
Use TCgen5
For wireless name use TCwifi (or if you want more control, TC24ghz and change 5ghz to TC5ghz).
Wipe the current TM setup.
Use A4 to reset it. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
With wireless off now and just ethernet connection try the backup again.
No luck manually mount the TC hard disk in finder. Go/Connect to Server.
AFP://TCname.local (replace TCname with your new nice short name.. and use the domain which is local by default).
OR
Use AFP://10.0.1.1 (Replace with whatever IP the TC uses.. but it must be static.. easy for router mode.. not so easy if the TC is in bridge mode).
The Computer will request the password.. type in whatever password you used for disk access.. by default it ithe device password. If you did not change it then default is public.
This setup has worked for other people.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5951390?tstart=0
I cannot guarantee you won't need to reboot the TC oocasionally as it does fall over.
There are other bits that I keep forgetting..
Make sure ipv6 is set to link-local for both wireless and ethernet in the computer.
Once you finish the main backup the short incremental backups can work over wireless.. so just turn wireless back on.

Time machine calculating size

Time machine calculation size forever (at least all night) and never concludes. Have to force reboot to recover. MAC os 10.7.4.

This simple procedure will clear your Time Machine settings, including both overt and hidden exclusions. The backups won't be affected. If you have a long exclusion list that can't be recreated easily, you may prefer a more complicated procedure that preserves the exclusion list. In that case, ask for instructions. Otherwise, do as follows.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with a file selected. Copy it to the Desktop. Then move it (the original, not the copy) to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your administrator password. Reboot, recreate your settings in the Time Machine preference pane. It will show that you have no backups. Don't be alarmed; that's expected. Run a backup to test. If TM now performs as expected, delete the file you copied to the Desktop.

Battery stuck at "Calculating..." even though it's 100%?

For some reason, when my battery reaches 100% charge, it sometimes stays stuck at "Calculating..." as seen here:
http://aycu31.webshots.com/image/8630/2000656755147425725_rs.jpg
This happens occasionally. If I pull out the cord and put it back in, then it turns green again for a few seconds then back to orange as if it were still charging.
How do I fix this?

I'm having the same problem. Any solutions?

Stuck on "calculating changes"

Hi there,
I have time machine set up on an external USB drive and I'm stuck on "calculating changes" when I try to make a backup. It was normal until a couple of days ago, when the drive suddenly disconnected from the Imac in the middle of a backup (I think it was due to an oscilation on the power supply or something like that, not physically disconnected). Ever since then, I'm not able to make new back ups.
I already ran a disk test (on disk utility) and it is normal. I also tried to remove and add the disk on the time machine preferences, but still nothing.
I got a log from Time Machine Buddy:
*Starting standard backup*
*Backing up to: /Volumes/Backup e Dados/Backups.backupdb*
*Event store UUIDs don't match for volume: Macintosh HD*

Do you mean you ran +*Repair Disk+* (not permissions) on the TM drive? If not, try that.

That's normal after a disconnection; it just means Time Machine isn't sure it got everything the last time.

These mean Time Machine is indexing your backups (because of the abnormal disconnection). It should complete that and proceed with the backup, which will probably take a lot longer than usual.
If Disk Utility didn't find a problem with the file system, the drive itself may be damaged. How old is it?
If you haven't yet, try cancelling the backup, ejecting, disconnecting and powering it off for several minutes. Then Restart your Mac and try again. Make sure all connections are snug and secure; try different ports, cables, and combinations of the two (a plug that works fine in one port may not make good contact in another).

Stuck on calculating changes - Waiting for index to be ready

I've got a Time Machine which had my disk properly backed up (~500 Gigs). Then, I used Entourage Time Machine to save my email database to a set of local XML files (tens of thousands of new files). Since then, it's stuck on Calculating Changes; I tried stopping it, removing the .plist file, stopping/restarting the service, etc. I restarted it again and now it's once again on Calculating Changes for 12 hours now. Time Machine Buddy says "Waiting for index to be ready". Could it possibly really be doing what it needs to do or is it stuck somehow and is there anything else I can do??
thanks in advance,
Mike

did that - repaired the disk, no problems found.
Uh, you need to check your internal, too, if you didn't. It's probably ok, but it's best to be sure. Then Restart your Mac.

A few of those may not be a problem, especially after a failed backup. The backups have to be indexed for TM to work right.
why isn't the index ready - could it have anything to do with Spotlight (which is also going like mad, but at least now gives a time estimate) - is that the index it's talking about??
Perhaps. Both Spotlight and Time Machine use the mds process to index.

Ok, so I disabled Spotlight, deleted all the .Spotlight files on all volumes, and restarted Time Machine having excluded the Entourage database and 56 Gigs worth of .xml files of individual messages.

Normal after a failed backup; Time Machine's not sure what was where when the "lights went out," so has to compare everything on your system to the backups to figure out what needs to be backed-up.

The deep traversal completed. It found about 20 GB to back up (plus 20% for workspace -- the "padding" in the message).
Error: Flushing index to disk returned an error: 0
That's another problem writing the index to the TM drive.
Try a +*Repair Disk+* on it again, and make sure all connections are snug and secure, and try the backup again.
If this continues, it's beginning to look like a problem with the disk or connections. Try different ports, cables, and combinations of the two -- cables do deteriorate, and a plug that works fine in one port may not make good contact in another one.

Time machine is getting stuck whilst 'calculating changes'

Updated my external HDD to use for TIme Machine. 3 weeks later and TM is trying to back up but getting stuck on 'calculating changes. I can't access or eject the drive whist that's happening so have to just pull the USB and restart.
After that it's fine, but I'm worried that not ejecting properly might damage the drive or the content. Any ideas?

Time Machine stuck in "Calculating Changes"

I am backing up time machine to a 1 tb Seagate GoFlex Desk. It is formatted to MacOS extended journaled. It works about 80% of the time, but a couple of times a day I check and it is stuck in "calculating changes". The only solution i have found is unplugging it which gives me the message "You need to eject". I just reinstalled the os hoping that would take care of it, but no dice. I did try logging out to see if that reset it, and it got stuck at my blank desktop background. But when I unplugged the harddrive, it finished logging out. Anyone have any solutions to these very annoying problems?

Hi jtupnsmoke - I have the exact same problems and am also using the Seagate 1TB Flex Drive- have had unplug the drive and have had the improperly ejecting the drive message, etc. I'm stuck in calculating changes once again. It is the only problem I've had that I wasn't able to fix with help from all of the great people on these boards. I'm about ready to plug in my old OWC Neptune external drive and see if it makes a difference.

Icloud stucked on verifying of non-existing account

HI
I am pretty amazed how can icloud be stucked like this.
My nephew, 16 years girl, by mistake have entered wrong non-existing
email adress for icloud-apple id.
instead ......@gmail, she entered [email protected]
ANd icloud some how have accepted and start to ask all the time
PAssword and verifying account with pop up window on every 3 second, not letimg you
TO work anything else and so annoying.
WE have try to erase account in icloud settings, but find my iphone was already on
and was keep asking password for not existing and not verifyed account.
For the story, to be more stucked, we have made Erase all settings and data, but after initial
start up screen have stucked on asking user and password for non existing account.
I really dont know how to solve this problem, please help me....

Sounds like 3 issues you have
1)You do not want users to check content into accounts which they have named? Can you use only predefined accounts and turn the accounts field into being a select not select and edit?
2)Account permissions are hierarchical so if you have RWD to account 'documents' then you will have at least those permissions in documents/tim documents/sam documents/<whatever>. Also do you have permissions assigned to 'all accounts'
3)You do not like the way that accounts performs its hierarchy calculation based on substringing. Too bad I think that is just the way it works. best practice would dictate that root accounts and permissions are not assigned to very commonly occurring patterns unless you want the permission inheritance.

Time machine stuck on 'calculating changes'

I have been using Time Machine backups to a 2TB Time Capsule for over a year, and one of my 4 computers has recently stopped backing up. The other 3 are still backing up fine, and I ran disk utility on the Time Capsule which stated that it was working fine as well. Backing up my MacBook Pro is now stuck in an endless (over 24 hrs) 'calculating changes'. I have tried directly connecting it via ethernet to the Time Capsule, but still have the same problem. I'd prefer not to start from scratch as the base backup is around 250GB. Any advice?

Well, I repaired the disk -- but still having the same problem. Seems to be getting stuck at the same place in the log:
