Macbook pro frezzing when time machine runs

Every time I run Time machine my MacBook pro 13 freezing OS Lion 10.7.3 it is a brand new machine.

To be honest,no I don't know why you are having this problem.
It looks like a specific problem with your MBA which could be a hardware problem (RAM most likely here) or a bad sector problem on the hard disk. If you own a copy of TechTool or something similar, run a full hardware systems check. If you don't own TechTool, run the Apple Hardware check from the MBA System install disk.
And, it could be a software problem. I don't know if this sequence will help, but do it anyway because it seems to solve problems on other Leopard systems.
1.) Disable Time Machine back ups
2.) Open Disk Utility and Run Repair Permissions
3.) Run Verify Disk. If it passes go to step 4.
4.) Download the 10.5.5. Combo Updater from http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_5_ComboUpdate
5.) Run the Combo Updater and restart
6.) Run Disk Utility Repair Permissions again
Then enable Time Machine and keep your fingers crossed.
Let me know if any of that helps.

I am trying to restore my old Macbook Pro data using Time Machine on a new Mackbook Air from external hard drive, but when I install I get two different loggin accounts and I only want one loggin account

I restored a Macbook Pro from a Time Machine backup and now none of my passwords are working (and I know they are the correct passwords). What can I do?

I restored a Macbook Pro from a Time Machine backup and now none of my passwords are working (and I know they are the correct passwords). What can I do?

First, make sure caps lock is not on.
Another reason why the password might not be recognized is that the keyboard layout (input source) has been switched without your realizing it. You can select one of the available layouts by choosing from the flag menu in the upper right corner, if it's showing, or cycle through them by pressing the key combination command-space or command-option-space. See also this support article.
If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password. In OS X 10.10 and later, this option also works with FileVault, but only if you enabled it when you activated FileVault. It's not retroactive. Otherwise, see below.
Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities window appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar at the top of the screen—not from any of the items in the OS X Utilities window.
In the window that opens, type this:
resetp
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window opens. Close the Terminal window to get it out of the way.
Select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected. You won't be able to do this if FileVault is active.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but the Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as the login password), there's no way to recover it.

Why does Macbook Pro rename my Time Machine and other external hard drives?

Why does my Macbook Pro rename my Time Machine to "Time Machine I" and then back again periodically. Last night it was one name, this morning it is another. It also does it on other external hard drives - usually by adding a I after the name. It is frustrating for me because I store a large runtime folder on an external hard drive and end up losing a lot of time with my computer not being able to find files because of the renaming.
And even though it still looks like Time Machine under "Get info: - when I open a folder window or Disk Utility it has a new name, and there is no way to change it. I've seen other questions that mention Macs renaming themselves, so it seems like a similar issue. I did try deleting the preferences plist file, but that did not work.
Is this a glitch with this particular model or operating system?
Specs: Macbook Pro A1297 - 2009 model.
Snow Leopard 10.6.8
2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
8GB ram
Many thanks for any advice.

strange, my external HDs were added to the exception list automatically. maybe because they wouldn't fit on the time machine volume.
It seems to depend on when the drives were connected. When you first turn Time Machine on, it only excludes the TM drive itself, and any drives not formatted HFS+.
If you connect a drive later on, that drive will be excluded automatically.

What is the best USB powered portable 1TB hard drive for a macbook pro that allows Time machine to work, windows (thru Parallels software) and mac storage and is available in Australia?

I agree with teh OWC sggestion above, but why must it be USB powered? I find that far more unreliable, and the low power devices slow.
I'd frankly get a good external enclosure and buy a bare drive. But the OWC stuff is quite good - vastly better than some of the majors (WD being aprime example of stuff that's boderline quality and often not compatible)

trying to reconect my Microsoft Enterouge to my MacBook Pro 15th through Time Machine? Anybody know where to find it in Time Machine?

The problem was solved by using the airport utilities manager under the "base station" menu. I opened the "add wireless clients" and checked "first try". The printer connected and the problem was solved.

Why won't my MacBook Pro backup to Time Machine (on my 1TB Time Capsule) when I'm running Lion OSX 10.7.5.? What does it mean when this error pops up: MacBook Pro.sparse bundle could not be assessed (error - 1).???? Please help me fix this!

Apparently I am not the only person having this problem as I have seen many threads about it. If ANYONE OUT THERE CAN HELP ME, I WOULD SINCERELY APPRECIATE IT.
I try and run my backup as I always have, but it HAS NEVER COMPLETED SINCE I UPGRADED TO LION. As many mentions, I updated from 10.7.4 to 10.7.5 hoping that would fix my issue and it didn't help at all. I also unistalled WD SmartWare to no avail. It's really starting to annoy me since I have as much money invested in my MacBook Pro and Time Capsule as I do in my car....
I have more than enough space on the Time Capsule, but Time Machine is still failing and coming up with an error message: MacBook Pro.sparsebundle could not be assessed (error - 1).
Someone, anyone, please help!

. . . sparse bundle could not be accessed (error -1)

Backing up the whole Macbook Pro from a Time Machine was not a good idea

So here's my little story... I've started to had a problem yesterday with a game running with crossover on my mac. Since the game was working fine 2 days ago I've decided to back up my whole computer from my Time Machine. After 5 hours of work the machine restarted and oh! My game work just as fine as it was 2 days ago...
What could go wrong ?? ... Well everything. The first thing I've noticed is that my iPhone 5 would not save anymore... No big deal, deleted all the last saved backup and guess what ? Problem solved. Next thing you know... The notification center was not working anymore... So, after searching a bit decided to reinstall the last update for mountain lion... Problem solved again. The last but not least, Mail app... Decided to check my mail. Whoops.. Crashes. Comptuer restart ... Crashes again. Then it went downhill, super slow... Mail not working... Safari and iMessage went down and iCloud would not work either...
Now ? Factory recovery here I come ! But wait... I have 2 days of file backing ahead of me. 5000 songs + 150 movies + 1500 photos.
Special thanks to Time Machine for all that great work... When you don't need it it's awsome, you can show to all your friends how many backups you have inside this white box...

Reinstall Adobe Reader and reset its preferences to install the plug-in to use it as the default PDF viewer in Safari. Be sure to download the latest version.
Regardless of your sound output preferences the boot chime will always play through the computer's speakers. This is in fact "normal" on the Mac Pro. However, after startup your sound output preferences should remain honored. If this is not the case then there may be a preference problem. However, your description of the problem isn't clear on this.
What was the hardware from which you transferred to the new computer? What OS version had been installed on it? At this point I'm not sure about the third problem.

New MacBook Pro - continue with Time Machine backups or start over?

I'm unsure of how I should proceed here ...
My old (late 2008 aluminium unibody MacBook) died last month and I now have a shiny new MB Pro. I transferred my data from one of two backup drives I have using Migration Assistant but did not transfer the Pictures folder because the new MB Pro only has a 256GB PCIE drive whereas I had upgraded my old MacBook to a 750GB hard drive. The Pictures folder was 175GB - it obviously couldn't be transferred in its entirety so at this stage I haven't transferred anything at all from my Pictures folder.
Both backup drives I use are 1TB Lacie Rugged external hard drives. I have them partitioned as follows -
Time Machine Backup - 475 GB
SuperDuper Backup - 350 GB
Pictures - 175GB (I only have the iPhoto Library on the Pictures backup)
I was thinking that I could simply continue with the existing backups, however, I realise that will be impossible because the existing backups all include the Pictures folder as part of the 'normal' backup process.
So, should I wipe my backup drives and start all over from scratch with the new MB Pro? Obviously, I don't need such a large space for the Time Machine and SuperDuper backups now so I could re-partition the drives and allocate more space to the Pictures folder (which is the one that continues to grow).
Does anyone else have experience of using their iPhoto Library on an external drive with the smaller PCIE drives in the MB Pro?
I would be very grateful for any suggestions as to how I should proceed.
Tricia

Many thanks for your response Ingo2711. It seems as if we faced pretty much the identical situation.
I've never taken much notice of Time Machine - just let it do its own thing. However, when I go to System Preferences - Time Machine - Options - Exclude these items from Backups and then choose the Pictures folder it shows that the space saved is only 1.47GB (my Pictures folder on my old MacBook is about 175GB). I clicked on the Pictures folder in Finder and discovered that it had one folder in it which is the folder I use for Desktop and Screen Saver and that the size of that folder is, in fact, 1.47GB.
So, am I right in thinking that I can just allow Time Machine to do a full backup without excluding anything and it will see that the new system is different from the previous one or am I missing something? I really don't want to lose the previous backups in case I ever need to go back to something.
Cheers
Tricia
BTW, I'm going to download iPhoto Library Manager and see if I can put my photos in chronological order by year and then just keep the current year's photos on my new Mac and keep the rest on the Pictures partition of my backup drive (which is connected via USB 3) - I'm hoping that the access to the external drive won't be so slow over USB 3.

Video died on my MacBook Pro, question on Time Machine

Hi -
The video died on my MacBook Pro (2007 - after some research I see there was a recall on it due to a manufacturer's defect). I hadn't backed up in a few months - so would like to back it up before I take the computer into the store. I have mounted the MacBook Pro on another computer by pressing Option + Power and all seems fine on the hard drive. I did try to run Time Machine though, and the computer doesn't seem to recognize that it has backed up on this same drive previously - it wants to back up the entire computer. Is there a way for the MacBook Pro to recognize the firewire drive and run Time Machine as it did before? I am running OS 10.6.8
Thank you!

I had done that as well (used Carbon Copy Cloner too! ) but I was concerned in the case I had to buy a new computer with a later OS (and being unable to mount the old drive/OS on the new computer to transfer the data - I ran into that issue earlier) - but I see now there is also a Migration Assistant that can help with that if I do indeed have to buy a new machine. Thank you!

Migrated Mac to new Macbook Pro- Does the Time Machine backup follow?

Had old macbook pro with backups on TM. Migrated computer to new macbook pro. Does the old TM backup follow or should I delete (to make space) and restart with new backup?

When your next backup to the same drive starts, you'll get the option to continue using the backups. See #B5 in the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.
Even if you choose to continue, TM will probably do a new, full backup. So if your TM drive isn't well over twice the size of the data it's backing-up, your best bet may be to erase the drive with Disk Utility (don't try deleting via the Finder) and let it start fresh.

Macbook Air Freezes when Time Machine backup starts

My Macbook Air (OS 10.5.5) has started freezing up whenever a Time Machine backup begins. I get the dark shade screen telling me that it has crashed and to hard power off. Everything was working well before, including the Time Machine backups, and the only changes I have made are the Apple updates. At first I thought it was random crashes, but I soon discovered that turning off Time Machine stops the problem (though obviously does not fix it). I've tried restarting and turning Time Machine back on, but it still makes the computer crash within a minute of the start of the backup process. The backup goes to a Time Capsule. I have not seen this problem on any of my other macs on the same network including a Macbook Pro that backs up to the same Time Capsule. Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be and how to fix it?

To be honest,no I don't know why you are having this problem.

Thanks, Linc. Based on earlier posts around the same problem I assumed it was something to do with the computer. TC is up to date and restarting it seems to have corrected the problem, at least during the one TM backup that's gone since.
BTW, I have two internal 3 TB HDs, one with all content, the second which mirrors the first and is updated every night. I'm using the TC/TM as the backup to my backup. I also take a new full copy offsite weekly. Curious though, what do you think of backing up to cloud storage?

MacBook Pro Not Accepting Time Machine Restore

I'm officially stumped. Let me explain...
In preparation for upgrading OS 10.9.5 to Yosemite, I completed a full backup of my MacBook Pro, purchased in August 2010. The following morning, (I'd not yet upgraded to Yosemite), I noticed that the Drive Pulse monitor for Drive Genius was red. I checked the log and it said there was a volume consistency error with Mac HD. I ran Disk Utility and verified the disk - it said there was an issue (don't remember what) and to boot into the recovery partition and repair the disk. I did so and the drive could not be repaired, so it told me to format it. Good thing I'd just backed up last night, right?
I formatted the drive and then from within the recovery partition, went to restore the drive from the backup. It said there was an error and the backup couldn't be restored. I tried restoring the previous backup - same issue. Ok, so I then tried to reinstall the OS from the recovery partition. It wanted to install 10.8, which the App Store said was not available. I then created a bootable USB drive with Mavericks on it. The OS installed just fine and within the OS setup, I selected to restore my backup from the previous evening. The system went through the whole process of restoring the backup, only when the system restarted, nothing was there. Hmm... I tried using Migration Assistant, same problem. I then made a bootable USB drive of Yosemite, which installed just fine. Tried restoring the backup both during the OS install and using Migration Assistant - no luck.
I took the MBP to the Apple Store today. They first ran a diagnostic on the hard drive - it passed. They then reformatted the entire drive, which included wiping out the recovery partition. As part of the format, they first formatted using the Apple partition table and then re-did the format using GUID. Next up they re-installed the base OS that came with the system, which was 10.6. The OS installed fine, but 10.6 couldn't be upgraded to 10.9.5, so they did a restore using 10.9.5. They then told me to try the restore again when I got home, which I did. No luck. Apple Store also said if things don't work, come back with the MBP and the Time Capsule since they can manually pull data out of a backup and put it back on the system.
Two additional pieces of info to mention. When I log into my Time Capsule (I have the 3TB version), the backup for this MBP is there. I can open it, navigate through it, etc. Second piece of info is I just successfully restored a backup of my girlfriend's MBP onto my MBP. I'm currently trying again to restore my backup, but does anyone know what's going on or have any suggestions?

There is definitely nothing in the drive - and I very rarely use it...

Air is dead after migrating from Macbook Pro Maverick via time machine

I backed up my Macbook Pro on Time Machine. I then used setup assistant on new Macbook Air. Everything went great with transfer, but upon restart, I get slight light on screen, but no apple, icon, and resetting of any form does not work. No sound. Help!

That's annoying. What resets have you attempted?
