  • HT201250 Is there a way to change the intervals at which Time Machine performs backups (e.g., weekly instead of hourly or daily) past 24 hours, daily for the past month, and weekly for everything older...

    You can edit the interval in Console or install a Pref Pane

  • Is there a way to put system to sleep after Time Machine runs?

    I don't need to run Time Machine every hour, especially since my TM disk is on Firewire and not built in (had a disk fail with TM volume on same disk - bad idea)
    When TM runs, it has to spin up the Firewire external disk, so I just run TM by hand now. I'd like to do this when I go to dinner or to sleep etc
    Is there a way to have the Mac system sleep after Time Machine finishes running?  An AppleScript perhaps?
    thanks

    What is the error message?
    I have not seen one, and that is exactly how I use TM. Unmount, turn off the drive. Turn on the drive, the backup volume mounts automatically and TM resumes its scheduled backups.
    Your Console logs will reveal the times in which TM attempted to back up but could not find the device:
    Dec 21 10:23:04 Johns-iMac.local com.apple.backupd[1216]: Starting automatic backup
    Dec 21 10:23:04 Johns-iMac.local com.apple.backupd[1216]: Backup failed with error: 1002

    Dec 21 11:23:04 Johns-iMac.local com.apple.backupd-helper[1408]: Not starting scheduled Time Machine backup - time machine destination not resolvable.
    The last entry will repeat every hour, until it finds the TM device. Its normally scheduled activity will resume when it does.
    " Web pages that refresh themselves can prevent sleep..." such as the NY Times home page...
    As if I needed another reason not to read that rag.

  • Is there a way to recover files deleted from a time machine backup

    My time machine backup drive was full so I wanted to delete some of the Virtual Machine files created with VMWare Fusion from the time machine backup.  I accidentally deleted them all, instead of just some older ones, so I want to know if there's a way to recover or salvage the files I deleted from time machine.

    If is possible do you have a Time Machine backup, What type of files are missing?

  • Ignore "There was a problem connecting to server" message in Time Machine

    I use Time Machine via a Hard Drive connected to an AirPort Extreme.  It works great when I'm at home, it obviously doesn't back up when I'm not at home.  My problem is when I'm not at home I keep getting prompts stating "There was a problem connecting to server XXX".  It's incredibly annoying.  Is there a way I can force these prompts to not come up?  I know I'm not connected and don't need prompted.
    How can I make this go away? 
    Thanks for the help!

    Well as long as it's turned on, it will look for the drive to backup to every hour. I don't see any other way around it.
    Other option would be to use an add on program that you can schedule TM with. TimeMachine Editor or TimeMachine Scheduler.
    Al least with these you can schedule backups when you are home. I haven't used either, but I'm sure they will work for you.

  • Is there a hot-key to switch tabs?

    How do I switch tabs without using my mouse?

    * Use "Ctrl+Page Up" or "Shift+Ctrl+Tab" to go to the Previous Tab and "Ctrl+Page Down" or "Ctrl+Tab" to go to the Next tab.
    * Use Ctrl + 1 to Ctrl + 8 to go to the first 8 tabs and Ctrl + 9 to go to the last tab (on Linux use the Alt key, on Mac use the Cmd key)
    See:
    * [[Keyboard shortcuts]]

  • How do I turn off hot key commands for the application menu/main nav?

    (I am using Photoshop CC on windows 7 64bit)
    I continue to have this problem which in many ways slows down my workflow. It is a bit difficult to explain so bare with me here.
    When I am working through the different functions and tools like switching from the polygonal lasso tool to duplicating a layer and then nudging the image with the directional keys the application menu/main nav is selected instead of the designated hot key and I need to hit esc twice to exit the main nav selection and go back to the tool I was using... “I did say this would be hard to explain”.
    Let me paint a specific scenario that causes this to happen:
    I want to create a mirror reflection for a product. I first duplicate the product image, then I flip it vertically and drag it to the bottom of the base image. Then I hit the directional up button to nudge it into place but this doesn’t work because by hitting the directional button ‘File’ from the main nav is selected. In order to return to the ‘move tool’ I need to hit esc twice or hit the mouse button once. This may not sound like a big deal and it’s not but do this 500 times a day for a week with the ‘polygonal lasso tool or PLT’ and tell me it’s not a big deal after that. When using the ‘PLT’ you have no option but to hit the esc button twice because if you click the mouse button you place an anchor for the PLT and chance loosing anything you have already preselected with the PLT.
    Anyway, moral of the story is... I have a mouse which is more than proficient in selecting File, Edit, Image, Type and any other main nav query. I would love the hot keys to select just the tools and simply leave the main nav out of it... when I first purchased CS5 this function was not apparent. It was only after an update or maybe I blindly changed a preference and poof... every second hot key I push I select something from the main nav which is a completely pointless and annoying function for me which I have never used and never ever will.
    Please Adobe tech masters, help me! I will be forever in your debt.
    Cheers,
    Tony

    Not a problem in the Adobe software. Something is wrong with your input devices or you have something on your system that instates global, system-wide shortcuts that may conflict with application specific ones. You need to figure out what it is.

    Two questions for itunes.
    one is there a hot key to rate songs quick? instead
    of click the stars.
    You can rate the current song by clicking on the iTunes icon in the dock and selecting the number of stars (e.g., see Figure 3.43 under item 4 of this web page. If that's not good enough for you, take a look at some of the script options at . Most of those are set to add or delete rating stars (or half stars), along with some to demand ratings for unrated songs. You could search through, or modify these scripts, and then assign them to shortcut keys if you like.
    Two. When i party shuffle i hear an artist come on
    and i want to go add another one of that artists

    Option click on the arrow beside the artist's name in iTunes and you will get a display of all tracks tagged with that artist in your library

    nas on airport extreme not recognized by time machine. same nas was previously used as time machine backup on different airport extreme. are there any configuration files that i can delete to fix this problem ?

    Time Machine has been working just fine, but in the last week or two it has given up the ghost. I reset the connections to the drive, and it will basically save a few bytes of data and then hang.
    Although Apple originally announced, prior to the release of the first 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Stations (AEBSn), that it would support Time Machine backups to AirPort Disks, they removed that option before they did finally release the base station for sale.
    Since then, Apple has posted (as you have noted) that they DO NOT support Time Machine backups to AirPort Disks. As far as I know, they have not changed from that position and those who do these backups find that they become corrupted over time. Sorry, but it sounds like you just confirmed that for yourself.
    1) Has one of the recent updates either on the AE (firmware) or OSX disabled this function?
    No. Again, this feature has never been supported by Apple for every generation of AEBSn released.
    2) Are there any changes I can make to get this working again?
    If your data backups are critical to you, then you will want to use a different solution for your Time Machine backup destination drive strategy. I would suggest that you connect your WD My Book directly to your Mac in the mean time.
    Your other options would be to either use a Time Capsule (which interestingly does support TM backups to AirPort Disks) or a non-Apple solution like the Drobo FS or HP MediaSmart server.

  • Photos deleted a ton of photos (several events/categories/albums in iPhoto). I have backups on Time Machine but I can't go back further than the date I installed Photos, even though backups are there. Anyone have any ideas?

    I have been looking forward to an improvement to iPhoto but have found Photos to be worse than useless, unfortunately. It uses all my resources, crashes and freezes constantly. Not only that, the events/albums/categories I have spent countless hours sorting have been completely eliminated. Without this, the app is of no use to me. So, fine, I'll revert to iPhoto, but a ton of my photos are now missing. It shouldn't be a big deal, because I use Time Machine regularly, but Time Machine won't let me restore any time past the date I installed the OS update (the backups are there). Any suggestions?

    Your Time Machine backup lets you go back to directly the moment after you upgraded to MacOS X 10.10.3?  There must have been some interval between the upgrade and the first launch of Photos.
    Try, if you can see the original iPhoto Library in the first backup.  Directly after the migration it will have a filename extension ".migratedphotolibrary", but this library should still work with iPhoto, nothing changed but the extension.

  • Is there a keyboard shortcut to launch firefox 3.6.3 with windows vista? Hot key (ctrl + alt + key) does not work.

    The hot key (ctrl + alt + key) does not work. This is in Windows Vista.

    Thank you Morbus and Cor-el, for your prompt replies. Here's what I did: I've placed the Firefox icon in the quick launch toolbar. So I right-click this firefox icon>Properties>Shortcut tab>in Shortcut Key field, add X (the word "None" changes to "ctrl + alt + X")>Apply>Okay>and that closes the dialog window.
    Then, to try the new launch short-cut, I press and hold down, in order, ctrl, then alt, then x (holding all three down) . . . and nothing launches.
    I thought this would do it! So any further thoughts would be a splendid help ---- many thanx!
