My Time capsule/time machine stopped backing up and states no disk found-now I can't even get connected to time capsule

My Time capsule/time machine stopped backing up and states no disk found-now I can't even get connected to time capsule.  When I go into sys pref and time machine nothing comes up and it just keeps stating rescan

Go to to your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder in the Finder and then enter  Time Machine.  Go back to the last backup that has the domain file, select it and use the Restore button.

  • I uninstalled itunes, and tried to redownload/install it, now I can't even get it installed, it says " The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" What do I do to get itunes back

    This kind of problem can often be fixed with the  microsoft Installer cleanup utility.
    Unfortunately the Microsoft Installer Cleanup utility has been withdrawn by Microsoft because of compatibility issues with Microsoft Office so you will need to find a copy elsewhere – the installer is msicuu2.exe. You need version 3.
    Google  msicuu2.exe download
    mydigitallife in the above search has a copy of version 3
    Check for malware before installing it.
    After installing, To run the program  – All Programs>>Windows Install
    If you get  permission denied error, Try Run as Administrator – an option if you right click on the program.
    When you run the cleanup utility, look for any instance that you find of iTunes and remove it.
    It is possible that you will have to remove other apple programs if removing iTunes doesn't allow you to install iTunes. Post back with any furtyher error messages if there is a problem.

  • I am trying to load "The Sims" for OS X 10.1 and higher;  first time the game would lock up after the preview, now I can't even get the installer to load after sending the original installation to the trash.  What could I be doing wrong??

    I have "The Sims" suite (The Sims, Livin Large, House Party, Hot Date, and Unleashed). During the original installation, I could not get teh third disk to install (House Party).  I definitely installed them in the correct order.  Then, I went on to load the last two CDs, but when I install the last CD, to begin play, the game locks my system downafter the preview. 
    I sent the entire Application to the trash (I'm assuming installing this in the Applications section of teh HD is correct), and tried to re-install.  Now, the initial Installer on The Sims primary CD will not respond.  I have to force quit to unlock the install.
    I have an iMac with the 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, with 4 GB Memory (4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3).
    Can you tell me if I'm doing something wrong, or if my system does not have enough memory to handle this program?  I already have The Sims 2 and 3 with several expansion packs installed - never had a problem operating or installing them. I still have at least 50% of my internal memory available.
    Thanks,
    Joe

    For some reason SpeedGrade updated through the Application manager. I tried downloading the updates from adobe's website but it won't install. Prelude's update fails before it can even get started whereas the extension manager does install but it doesn't seem to be updating.
    I've done as much investigation as I can think of and I'd rather not create a new user just to check that out but if I have to I will. How exactly do I create a new user on a mac?

    I saved the calendars from different devices.  One or two were saved on my iPad.  The rest were saved on my MacBook.  All of them are gone from 5 devices that share them.  What doi I restore?

  • Since loading FF4 (again!) bookmarks gone (can't import file), no history and cannot use back button!Now I can't even get FF 3 back on my iMac.

    Using iMac with OS 10.6.7. I made the mistake before of trying the Beta ver and same thing happened. But at least back then I could download the older version and recover my bookmarks. (i was finally able to get the older ver 3.6 back up.) Still, I can't import from HTML file or from back-up. Pls help, all my history is lost and i need those bookmarks to do my work!

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Time machine stopped backing up due to not enough space.  What to do?

    On my MacBook time machine stopped backing up and the message said not enough space .  What can I do?

    Broadly speaking you can supply more space.. or delete the old backups to regain existing space.
    You have posted in the TIme Capsule area.. but I am not sure if that is what you are using as people mix up Time Capsule (TC) and Time Machine (TM) on a regular basis. TC  is hardware router with a disk in it for backups to be stored.. TM is the software on the Mac that does backups.
    So TC is not exactly flexible.. but you can add a USB hard disk to it.
    This is not always a great idea.. but can work for people using wireless which is slower even than USB.
    The internal disk of the TC can be upgraded.. only do this if you accept the risk and most likely it is no longer under warranty.
    You can buy a TC with a bigger hard disk and sell off the old one.. except you might already have 3TB one in which case you will need to run two.
    You can use a local drive instead of a network drive.
    So buy a USB drive and plug it into your computer.. this is a good solution for desktops.. less great for laptops which are carried around as you forget to backup.
    OR
    Wipe the current backups and start anew.. You can also archive the old backups wipe the existing disk and start over.
    Tell us which you prefer and if it is more difficult than go and buy a new disk and plug it in tell us.

  • Time Machine stopped backing up files 2 years ago!

    So... I recently tried to restore my Macbook to an earlier time and discovered that Time Machine stopped backing up my files (documents, music, photos, etc) years ago! When I select a time period (say Sept 24, 2013) the actually files included in the backup are from no later than 2010. Why did this happen? I thought Time Machine backed up everything. I did not exclude anything and it certainly backed them up at one point. I'm not sure if there is some way that I am missing to retrieve information that was "backed up" a week ago.

    A backup was listed for a week ago,  it's just that when I went into the files looking for what was missing (music, for example) there is nothing new since 2010. That's years worth of new files missing all the while thinking that Time Machine was backing them up. My external hard drive was connected and Time Machine was performing that backups as usual without any indication that something was going wrong. There are dozens of backup slots over that time frame that are missing the new files.

  • Time Machine stopped backing up to Time Capsule

    Three weeks ago, my Time Machine stopped backing up to My Time Capsule. I get a Time Machine Error that says the backup disk is not available. When I go into Time Machine on my Systems Preferences and click Select Disk, I get None. If I then go to Set Up Time Capsule, Airport Utility finds my Time Capsule.
    I click through where it asks whether I want to change some settings for this Time Capsule. I click all the way through, changing nothing. And of course, I haven't resolved the problem. I don't want to go back to factory settings because I have archived a lot of old home movies on the Time Capsule and am afraid I'll lose them.
    The only changes I've made recently that may affect this have to do with a mobileme account. I've been using one mobileme account for work for several years. Three weeks before I started having problems with the Time Capsule, I started a MobileMe account for the family. Now, when I sync all of our machines, the system looks for a new local host, which I have created. About the time I started syncing my computers is about the time the Time Machine stopped backing up.
    Can switching between the two local hosts be the source of my problem?

    Turns out my Hard Drive went down. Not sure why.

  • My Time Machine keeps backing up and won't stop.

    My Time Machine keeps backing up and won't stop.  The problem started when it said I was out if space.  It is supposed to delete the oldest backup.  Now I cannot even backup at all.  It just keep going and never stops, although it really does not work at all.  I have used the disk utilities and iI have Zeroed out. The TC is a 1 TB and is about 13 months old. Right now it says "79.9 MB of 104.9 MB" and "backing up 961,837 items". I do not have the check mark in "Notify after old backups are deleted." It will stay stuck like this for hours and hours.  The TC is plugged into a U-verse router and the 27" MAC is plugged into the TC.

    So you already wiped the old backup and started again??
    If that is the case it did a fresh full backup ok?
    How much free space is on the TC now?
    Do you happen to have multiple network links? Meaning do you have TC bridged to the U-verse router.. with both ethernet and wireless working at the same time. I discovered this one all by my loansome.. having multiple paths does not seem to worry most things on the computer.. but it totally kills TM.
    I had the same sort of thing happening in testing a TC I am fixing. So I have multiple ethernet and wireless. The incremental backups became extremely slow.. by turning off wireless and one ethernet so there is only one route to the TC.. it flys again.

  • Time Machine stopped backing up certain files

    Hi, I am running OS X Server 10.5.4. (Yes, upgrade is planned)
    Time Machine has been running fine, backing up everything, etc.
    However, at some point, Time Machine stopped backing up certain files regularly. The affected files are all Frontier databases (frontierkernel.org). They are 'open' files, and I wonder if this is the cause. However, I know that they used to be backed up regularly, without problems. So, maybe Time Machine was updated in 10.5.4 to change this behavior?
    If I quit Frontier and then reopen it, Time Machine will back up the files. So, this tells me that TM can back up open files... sometimes. But, if I let the machine run for days, TM often skips these files, even though they have been updated on disk.
    I've checked and these files are not set to be excluded from TM.
    Any ideas? Thanks.

    These aren't the cause, but might indicate a problem with, or communicating with, your TM drive. Try the things in #D2 of the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.
    Everything else looks normal (assuming the files in question are on the 06-0834 drive).
    Since the same files are backed-up sometimes but not others, it's probably also not something corrupted (usually, corruption will cause the backup to fail, but rarely a whole folder won't get backed-up).
    So we're back to your original suspicion that they weren't backed-up because they were open. Normally, an open file will be backed-up. In the case of large databases, that's often a problem, as the entire database is backed-up if only a single small change is made, often taking up a lot of time and disk space. There are a many threads here about that.
    There does appear to be an extended attribute that will prevent TM from backing up a file. XCODE seems to set that on it's "build" folders, for example. Perhaps the Frontier package sets it while the files are open, and removes it when they're closed? If so, maybe there's an option somewhere to disable that?
    Can you check with the Sourceforge folks about that?
    Otherwise, sorry, but I'm out of ideas.

  • Time Machine stopped backing up my user directory

    After many successful back-ups Time Machine stopped backing up my user directory.  After reading many blogs I delted everything (it took days!) and started with an empty externel HD.  To my suprise the new back up has the same problem.  HELP!

    I have the SAME problem with my imac 7,1 (2007) running os 10.8.5. What is the fix?
    i checked and i do NOT have FileVault  enabled.  so, why is TMachine NOT backing up? this is a rather horrifying discovery. i only learned
    about it when i tried to restore some downloaded files. Thanks for any help.

  • Time Machine stopped backing up.  What do I do???

    Time Machine stopped backing up 3 days ago. Even though the desktop Icon periodically revolves to show a backup is occurring, when I go into Time Machine I see the last time it backed up was 3 days ago. I have it backing up to a 1 Terrabyte drive and there are still close to 300 GB available. It has been working fine up until 3 days ago.
    One suspicion I have: I installed a demo version of MacScan which erased all my cookies. I may have done this on the day Time Machine stopped working correctly. Does Time Machine depend on any cookies?
    Help

    Help!!!
    Is it possible that MacScan went into your TM backup and corrupted it by removing files (cookies, etc.)? If you modify the contents of the TM backup improperly, you can totally hose the entire backup. In general only TM should be allowed to modify it's own contents via the TM app.

  • Why time machine stopped backing up my application folder?

    Help! About a month ago time machine stopped backing up the application, library, private and system folders and only back up the users folder. what happened? I cant seem to make machine back up everything anymore.

    Since a few days I have exactly the same problem.
    "Time Machine stopped backing up the application, library, private and system folders and only back up the users folder."
    I did all the checks without success. Thereafter I deleted the backup disk and started a new copy on a new formatted disk.
    Same result.

  • HT201250 Time Machine stopped backing up system folders

    A couple of months ago, Time Machine stopped backing up my System folder and my Library folder. What is going on?

    Your system folders.  Some people don't want them (and/or other things) to be backed-up. 
    i don't see any option to change what time machine backs up and what it doesn't back up.
    That's where you can tell it not to back up certain things, or to back up external HDs.  See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #10.
    I don't recall seeing those folders not being backed-up unless they were specifically excluded.   Is your Applications folder getting backed-up?
    Perhaps the preferences file has been damaged.  Try a "full reset" of Time Machine, per #A4 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
    EDIT:  Note that when TM does back them up for the first time, it will be a fairly large backup, and seem pretty slow.  That's because those folders contain many thousands of mostly small files.
