Machine that gets Time Machine Error ALL THE TIME

Lets try and list out all the machines that cannot get Time Machine to work all the time.
Here is mine:
Machine:
1st Gen Macbook Pro (June 06)
with upgraded HDD (160GB) and 2GB RAM
TM HDD Tried:
ALL external HDD (USB and Firewire)
Error:
The back up volume could not be found
Other Notes:
Tired clean install, archive install, nothing works

Is the Drive formatted with a GUID partition? Look in Partitions in Disk Utilities. If it isn't GUID, set it to GUID, reformat, and try TM again.

  • Time Machine backups: Get too many Backups all the time (constantly Backing

    My Time Machine back ups are always backing up, everyday, on the hour, everyday. I want to slow it down or schedule it to where I want to have it, to do its back ups, such as in the middle of the week at 3pm every wednesday or twice a week at 3pm to do the Back ups instead of every sec or min or hour evryday.
    Right now I have an external 2nd HD and I have the back connected to that 2nd HD and whenever the Time machine does its back up to that 2nd HD it makes a loud irritating crackling noise, and I think its because I need a new 2nd HD but haven't enough money yet to get a new one but plan to hopefully soon but for now I would like to control this Time machine back up schedule, How do I do this? am I able to do this? Does anybody have a solution?
    Thank you,
    Mrs.Trisha Foster

    You can't via Time Machine. And yes, that sort of noise from your external is a very bad sign. You can get even big externals for under $100 these days, so do it ASAP.
    It also sounds like the problems with the drive are making your backups run very slowly; normally they run hourly, and are very quick and unobtrusive.
    Under normal circumstances we usually advise against it, but there is a 3rd-party app, Time Machine Editor, that some folks use for this. Some say it works for them, others have had troubles with it, especially getting TM to work properly after they remove it.
    Since this is temporary, a better bet might be to turn TM off, and just do manual backups as rarely as you dare (via the TM icon in your menubar, or by right-clicking the TM icon in your Dock.)
    But please get a new drive soon. It's impossible to predict when it's going to fail completely.

  • TS3694 Why is the IPAD not updating to the new Operating System. I get this 3014 error all the time. Help please?

    I just updating to the new operating system.  My Ipad is having problems updating to the new operatinng system IO6 I think.  Anyways I keep getting this 3014 error.  Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

    ever since up upgraded to firefox 6 i have had problems. i get this error all the time Script: chrome://browser/content/tabbrowser.xml:537
    MAKE IT STOP!!!

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Is it ok to leave Time Capsule on all the time?

    Hi
    Is it ok in terms of the life of the hard drive to leave Time Capsule on all the time? I know it has to be on to run the wireless back ups and for the Wi-Fi to work but i have heard quite alot of people saying that you should turn it off for a couple of hours occasionally.
    Is this true and will that increase the TC life?
    Thanks

    Yeah it definatly spins down but it does get super hot?
    I thought that about no on/off switch.
    Thanks for the advice.
    Ouch super hot.. that is not good.. the only one in my experience that did get super hot was gen1 with 1TB hitachi disk.. because it was just a very poor combination and the disk is extremely hot running.
    The latest gen3 and gen4 should be warm.. maybe hot during a backup but certainly not what you would call super hot. In later ones, that is a sign all is not well with the power supply and it will fail. Even fixing the cooling at this stage the damage may already be done.
    What gen is yours and how old? If it is outside of warranty I would take steps to keep it cooler. Not shutting down overnight... actually actively cooling it.
    The most effective way is to force the fan on.

    Placing fans outside the TC is useless unless you can seal it to the device and force air through it. blowing on the case will do nothing.
    A better solution is to use an external power supply.

    That removes a lot of the waste heat load.

  • Mario kart Nintendo Wii online error all the time,...

    Hi all,
    I have a problem with Nintendo's Wii Mario Kart. I never had this issue with BT Broadband ADSL, only since being on Infinity option 2. When I try to go into an online game with Mario Kart Wii it keeps coming up with an error 91010, Disconnected from data during data transmission. Error Code:-91010. I have looked it up on the internet and it must come down to an Infinity problem. I have tried going back to 802.11 b/g/n (Recommended) but that makes no difference also I have activated the DMZ Enabled with Wii and also activated ports 1-65535 on TDP/UDP but still no luck, the error keeps popping up all the time.
    Has anyone come across this problem before and resolved it?. I would like some help because its becoming very annoying and I luv having a blast on Mario kart Wii online its a real shame.
    Thanks,

    Carn't believe the oldie Scoobs and the gang could not solve it, man, there was me just thinking I could get them on the job, looks like they have already tried!. I am just hoping this will solve it, be a shame if not cause it would be a waste of chrimbo saved up monies!. . Thanks though for the help. My next question would be if Wii online games are having these issues why dont BT get on the case and sort the matter!. 
    It may not fully solve it, but it WILL definitely help
    It only appears to be Mario Kart on the Wii, that's why it's so unusual - other games will also perform better as they'll be over ethernet too

  • My ifaBook G4 will not type fast and makes errors all the time, why?

    The error in tht stsi title to this que.  This mat ess is what I getg all the time when I want to type anything on my iBook.  Do I need a new key  board or what?
    Often the entire page disapears, the cursor will not follow the flow of script ever and always jumps off the page or at the beginning.  What is going on?

    Hello,
    Try resetting the PMU and see if that helps. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1431
    If not, then it would look to be a fault with the keyboard. try cleaning the keyboard first with some compressed air. if that don't work then it would require another keyboard.

  • MacBook Pro 2011 get hot and noise all the time and slowly ?

    hi. why MacBook Pro get too hot and make a noise all the time i have Yosemite ,mac late 2011 and became very slow?

    Games are very CPU/GPU intensive applications and will heat up the MBP.  That will result in the fans increasing speed in order to dissipate the heat.  This actually is an expected result and for the type of application, is 'normal'.
    I you plan to play a lot of games, consider getting a cooling pad twhich will tend to mitigate the heating.
    Ciao.

    I would try these things;
    1. Run Repair Permissions from the install disk.
    2. Run Hardware Test from the install disk.
    3. Try creating another user account and see if the problem continues.
    3. Do a clean install of the system software if steps 1 & 2 find nothing.

  • I get an Invalid URL all the time for different sites. Why is this happening and how can I stop it?

    No matter the site, it comes out of no where. I clear cache from browser, flush the DNS, change browsers, but nothing works. It eventually corrects itself after 10 minutes but puts a damper on the work day as I have to stop work all the time.

    Hey Klaus,
    That only showed the end of the URL. In the browser, the actual URL was appfirst.com/blog/wp-admin/post.php.

  • G5 quad 2,5 ghz errors all the time

    hi there!
    well i was so happy with my new machine till the day the errors started. first of all there were several kernel panics and it booted with open firmware itself. i tried to reset the ram and tried booting with plugged off every cables of no need. no changes - so i´ve read in some threads that there might be a software problem - everything installed new - after 1 day the same problems again - hardware test runs ok every time i try - then i checked the ram - i´ve got 4,5 gb inside. when i´m running only 2,5 it´s ok - but when i´m running all the 4,5 gb i always have the kernel panic and restart computer or open firmware bootings - i hope nobody of you have the same problems, but maybe someone can have some hints for me!
    so much thanks yet!!
    yours,
    joerg

    hi!
    thanks for the reply - i´ve bought it in an apple store - the ram manufactorer is samsung - the ram is from the same store where the g5 quad is from - i´ve already tried to figure out which ram is bad - the store told that there can be something wrong with the ram and that i should bring the bad to swap - but i´ve tried all the ram changing and changing, but everything worked - only when i put in the whole 4,5 gb i have the troubles! that´s what i can´t get in my mind!
    yours,

  • "Unknown Error" all the time, every time on render of project, any codec

    Trying to render a feature length documentary for a film festival (ie.. I don't have time for this). The project timeline runs 1 hour and 20 minutes. If I try and export or queue the timeline in media encoder to h.264, QuickTime or Select "Match Sequence Settings" as my output format, the media encoder fails to render with the very informative "UNKNOW ERROR" every time at random point in the render procedure. When rendering it as an mpeg once, I am able to see one place where it crashed. It is a place in the timeline where the are no transition, not cuts, no overlays, absolutely nothing out of the ordinary. Yet, it crashed there this time. Next time, it will crash elsewhere.
    I am trying to render the timeline on segment at a time. So far, each smaller segment of 20 minute blocks seems to be rending just fine and goes past the points where other renders failed. Looks like Media Encoder can't handle large projects.
    Here's all the requested information for a complete diagnosis of the problem.
    Error given to me by Media Encoder : "Unknown Error" --that's it. The time rendered varies between 43 minutes and 3 hours.
    - Encoding Time: 00:54:04
    05/03/2015 05:59:03 PM : Encoding Failed

    I need this timeline rendered and I'm not interested becoming a forensic-level technical authority on Premiere to get it. This problem has come and gone now for months and is intolerable. I pay for software and I expect it to work, and at least give me something more useful than "UNKNOW ERROR." There is no such thing. As a former developer, I can say with authority that simply dumping to a message that says this is lazy and sloppy programming. Buffer underruns, stack overflows..whatever. Everything is caused by something. I can't begin to diagnose this problem unless Adobe provides software error handing that gives me some idea of what happens. Where did it happen in the timeline? What routine/subroutine gave the error? Was it a codec error? Come on....these things are not unknowable.
    Adobe, PLEASE stop coming out with new features when you can't make your existing pay by the month software reliable! Maybe FCPX is worth another look.

    UPDATE:
    tried rending the entire project as Quicktime ProRes 422 (since that is what clips were recorded in originally anyway) and Media Encoder gto 89% complete....and the entire application CRASHED. WHO-HOO! Way to go, Adobe!!!!!
    Here's part of the crash report if it means anything. Maybe I'll try it again and see if anything changes! Can't get any worse.
