Mac hangs when backing up to TC across ethernet network

I ended up with a T.C. which I am using over an ethernet network. The T.C. and the Mac are both connected to this network and both correctly get dhcp info from it (e.g. the mac is not directly connected to the T.C. and wireless is off). I can set up the T.C. over the network. However when the backup starts my machine basically stop (I can move the mouse but do basically nothing) and the backup appears to start then hang (given an entire night it stopped at about 3gb backed up). It appears to be a bug with either the mac or the T.C. or both but not sure. Has anyone else had luck with backing up in a similar situation. Any ideas for a fix. I'm wondering if the busy network is causing problems or ...

Sounds like you are connecting the Mac and the Time Capsule to an existing network. Have you tried connecting the Mac via Ethernet to one of the LAN ports (not the WAN port) of the Time Capsule? If that works, then chances are that your existing switch is problematic. Perhaps your existing switch doesn't support gigabit?

Repaired Mac hanging when restoring

Got my late-2011 MBPro back from repair, where a new logic board was installed and prematurely dead battery replaced, "latest registered operating system"(was told that'd be 10.8.2) installed but no new hard drive installed (allegedly). I asked the clerk whether that meant I wouldn't have to restore from my Time Machine backup and he confirmed I wouldn't.
Got home, plugged it in, booted up and....WRONG!! Was taken to the startup screen that shows up on a new Mac, asked about language and keyboard preferences, and whether and from where I wanted information transferred. It took me several tries to connect to my home network and find my Time Capsule, and then four or five tries before the name of my most recent backup showed up in the source list. Clicked on it, and got a screen with types of items to transfer--all of which except "Settings" were indicated as "Calculating." I got tired of nothing happening after 10 minutes, so I clicked on "Continue" and got the "Transferring Your Information" screen, which for the past hour has been hanging first on "transferring your documents" and now "looking for documents and applications to transfer." Finally switched to "Transferring Documents," but the blue progress bar is still endlessly striped like a barber pole. And it's listing the estimated time to restora as "About 153 hours and 52 minutes remaining." Of course, Apple Care is closed for the night. (Don't they know how many users are night owls who save this stuff for AFTER work and family??????)
What the....? Last time I had to restore from Time Capsule (on a previous MB Pro) the machine started up,
PS--now it's up to "158 hours and 36 minutes...."

Oh, God. Just did some more reading (in Mountain Lion and Time Machine) and it looks like I messed up BIG TIME (but nobody told me how to avoid that). I went through Setup Asst. after the "transfer information" progress bar kept hanging and the last time estimate had climbed to 180 hours--so I skipped the transfer process. I had NO intention of setting up a "new account," but because my MB Pro thinks it's a new machine (or has a new HD) when I entered my existing username and password it set up a new account anyway!!!! Went into Migration Assistant to restore from the TM backup on my TC. Even though NO other devices are accessing the Time Capsule I keep getting the warning box saying "some backups cannot be accessed," and no matter what I do the only backups recognized are of THIS machine (the MB Air).
I DON'T want to take the MB Pro back downtown to the Apple Store to have them reinstall Mt. Lion yet again, and I certainly don't want to have to haul my TC along too. What the heck do I do? It's Apple's fault, because they did not warn me the hard drive would think it's a new machine (Setup even asked me to register!!!!) and did not warn me what and what NOT to do to restore from my backup. Heck, they even told me I wouldn't NEED to restore!!! It seems every time I get a Mac repaired I go through hours of grief and frustration followed by a sleepless night because (unlike at other tech support facilities) Apple doesn't believe in 24/7 tech support.
And now I'm going blind typing on this little MB Air (which is my travel notebook)--and am missing all the files I need.
Meanwhile, doesn't anybody HERE stay up late?????

Safari 2.0.4 for Mac -- Hangs when closing tab -- Must force quit

I've had this problem with safari from 10.4.6 to 10.4.9, from what I can tell. It has also reared it's head on my macbook and my iMac(intel).
It typically happens when I have a number of tabs open and I go to close my current tab. It will hang. It also commonly happens when the page viewed has some sort of multi media on it. like youtube. I've enabled debug tools for safari and completely wiped out all plugins and reinstalled the usual, flash, flip4mac and there is the built-in apple quicktime and java.
Here's a part of the sample from activity monitor at time of crash.

ITunes hangs when backing up

I am trying to back up my iphone 4 so that I can update to the new iOS 5. I have downloaded the new iTunes version 10.5 and since then I can't access the iTunes store or backup my device.

Airport error when attempting to import photos across wireless network

Hi,
I'm using the latest version of iPhoto '09 on a MacBook that's connected to my home wireless network through an Airport Extreme. Also on the same network is a brand new Mac Mini. When I attempt to import photos into iPhoto '09 on my MacBook from the Mac Mini, I get an Airport connection error that I dismiss by clicking OK. Immediately after clicking ok, I then get a "Can't find the original photo..." error and I hit cancel. I do this three times and presto the photo imports itself. This occurs every time I attempt to do an import.
My network is not dropping. My Internet connection is not dropping. My MacBook and the Mac Mini stay connected continuously so I'm not sure why I get these errors.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Mark

It has nothing to do with the Airport connection.
This sometimes occurs if you’re importing a file into iPhoto and there’s already a file there with the same name. Digital cameras can produce many, many files with the same name over their lifetime, so it’s not uncommon to have several files called IMG_00543.JPG, for instance. Now you want to import one also called this.
What happens is that iPhoto compares the two files to check for duplicates. However, if iPhoto cannot find the file already in the database for comparison, then you get this message. It suggests that your database is damaged because iPhoto has lost track of this (or these) similarly named files.
A simple test is to rename the file you are importing - just add a character - IMG_00543a.JPG for instance. If this then imports with no issue then you might consider rebuilding your library:
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

No constant speed when backing up to TC via Ethernet or wireless

Hi,
I finally gave in and made an ethernet connection between tc and mbp. I disabled the airport on my mbp and I started time machine for the initial 110 GB backup (parallels vm is excluded). Whar I have expected from this connection is a nice steady flow of data. Instead my activity monitor shows different transfer speeds as low as 500 KB/s up to 12.3 MB/s. But the graph is not a line with some small bumps. It looks more like a printout of a heart beat monitor. Is there anything I can do?
I have had the same problem when I tried to do that job wireless, it was just another scale from somewhere around 10 KB/S up to 6.1 MB/s. How comes?

Sounds like you are connecting the Mac and the Time Capsule to an existing network. Have you tried connecting the Mac via Ethernet to one of the LAN ports (not the WAN port) of the Time Capsule? If that works, then chances are that your existing switch is problematic. Perhaps your existing switch doesn't support gigabit?

iPhoto just stopped working. It loads pictures, but then goes into rainbow wheel forever. Then I try to force quit it, and then the whole Mac hangs up (had to power cycle it to get it back). I am using OS 10.5.8, and when I run software update, it assures me I have up to date software. I have not added any photos since the last time I used it, probably less than a month ago. What gives?

Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Does anyone know how I do this? I contacted my ISP (Telus in Canada) and they did not know anything (not that they usually do).

Why do ISPs insist upon making things so difficult for their customers?
If you cannot get them to understand that you would prefer to use your own router over their piece of cheap junk, perhaps the information in the following will be useful:

Scroll down to DHCP Settings
You will need to log in with proper "technician" credentials. They are provided in the above link as
Username: tech

... but these may or may not work. Try it, and if you cannot get anywhere at least now you know what to ask Telus to do in return for your business.
