I have even reformatted the drive with no luck. Looks like a permissions error. Any ideas? thanks

reformat with a different name seemed to do trick

  • 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 but doesn't give warning/error

    Hi,
    by chance I noticed, that Time Machine doesn't backup up any more, but still doesn't give errors.  In Console I see the following for a now typical run:

    The 5.18 GB are never backed up.  The backup drive (drosera-backup-02) is attached by FireWire.  I have checked the disk with First Aid, I have disconnected and reconnected it.  I removed the backup disk from Time Machine, stopped TM and reconfigured.  I stopped mds, ran backups and reenabled mds.  All to no avail.
    I am at a complete loss and I'd appreciate to get this running w/o having to remove all existing backups.  Any ideas or pointers?
    I'm running Mac OS X 10.7.5 on a Mac mini
    Cheers
    Frank

    Thx.  I had already tried the hints from mds: (Error) Volume: Could not find requested backup type:2 for volume to no avail.  Your tip to rebuild the Spotlight index would probably helped, too.  But just before getting yout comment and after reading http://pondini.org/TM/Works.html and http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/69054/force-time-machine-to-perform-a-d eep-traversal I had simply removed /.fseventsd and reran a backup.  That seems to have fixed the problem (at least for the time being).
    Interesting side note: During the non-backup phase I created a new account on the Mac and ran TM.  This triggered a one-time working backup of the whole system, but all subsequent backups again failed silently.  Additionally the externally attached FireWire harddrive was always backed up correctly, only backups of the local drive failed.

  • Time Machine stops due to computer going into Sleep/Hibernation Mode

    Time Machine stops due to computer going into Sleep/Hibernation Mode then restarts to try to start the Back up process again and again vicious cycle. I have made sure all settings are turned off. I have done one or two backups since the initial first backup. My HDD is almost full and I want it backed up before I try to clone/mirror the drive to upgrade it to a 1TB HDD. Thank you in advance. 

    Set the Energy Saver (in System Preferences) to Never. Then reset the NVRAM, as follows:
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the third time.
    Release the keys.

  • After upgrading to OS X Mavericks Time machine stops working

    After upgrading to OS X Mavericks Time machine stops backing up and sometimes hangs on ,,preparing,, for o days and sometimes stops inmediatly. Report says:
    Backing up to /dev/disk1s2: /Volumes/Backup/Backups.backupdb
    Event store UUIDs don't match for volume: Macintosh HD
    *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSRangeException', reason: '*** -[__NSArrayM objectAtIndex:]: index 0 beyond bounds for empty array'

    Is this a Firewire or Thunderbolt connected disk?  There are know issues with that in Mavericks.  If so try connecting the drive by USB as you continue.
    Is it a WD drive?  There appear to be issues with those drive on Mavericks.

  • Time Machine Stopped Working After Update

    I updated the most recent OSX 10.6.3 and disk utility etc. then suddenly my time machine stopped backing up to external disk attached to Airport Extreme. I have a Seagate drive attached to the AE. I can see the drive and I can see the time machine folders. If i go to TM preferences I can select the drive. But when it goes to back up error message says "backup disk not available." Itunes library is also on same disk (partitioned) and works fine.
    Any help would be very, very appreciated!

    As Jolly Giant says, this is +*not supported by Apple.+* It does work, sometimes, for some folks (including me), but is not especially reliable. I cannot recommend strongly enough that you keep secondary backups, probably to an external HD, via CarbonCopyCloner, SuperDuper, or the like. Also note that your iTunes library on that disk is not being backed-up by Time Machine.
    It's possible your backups are corrupted (that happens on occasion via an Airport, and may be why Apple doesn't support it). Try repairing them, per #A5 in the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip,* also at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum.
    If Disk Utility can't repair them, it's possible +Disk Warrior+ or a similar app can. DW costs about $100, and is probably a good investment for the future, but there's no guarantee.
    Otherwise, your only choices are to delete the sparse bundle or erase the partition and start over, or back up to a directly-attached disk (a much better solution).

  • Time machine stop working suddenly

    not sure if it's related 10.5.6 upgrade but recently, I realize that the Time Machine stops working. I'm using a USB hard disc the backup drive. It's been working perfectly for a few months. But in the past 1 or 2 weeks, it doesn't back up anything at all. It always show "Preparing Backup..."... and that's it
    I don't even know how to trouble-shoot! any help?

    Did you find this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1516
    Assuming you did, how much of your HD is used, and how long did the initial TM backup take?
    Since the initial backup succeeded, have you disconnected and reconnected your drive, or powered-down, or anything?
    And how long has it said "preparing"?
    Also, it's possible you might find something in the system log.
    Use the Console app, in your Applications/Utilities folder. Click on Show Log List at the upper left, then navigate in the sidebar to your system.log (current) or system.log.0.bz2, etc (previous).
    Most of what's in there is just info, and not intelligible to us mere mortals.
    You're looking for messages from backupd, and/or backupd.helper. Copy anything suspicions and post them here. Maybe somebody can decipher them.

  • Reset network Time Machine Server Settings

    Does anyone know how to reset the settings for the Mac Server Time Machine service? Somehow it is jacked up. I can backup to a network Time Machine and restore files through Finder but when I boot into recovery mode and try to do a restore, I can see the backup drive, I authenticate but then get an error saying it can't connect to server name.local. Doesn't appear to be issues with DNS. I have tried setting up a new external drive that hasn't been previously used before and it does the same thing. So I wanted to reset the settings without having to reset all the other services. Does anyone know where these settings for just the Time Machine Service are?
    Thanks,

    Richard,
    I am running a headless mac mini with Lion Server.  Same setup as yours, except externals are connected via USB.  I have no problems backing up our macbook pros over newtork via Time Machine.  My current backup drive is an old 500GB WD Book-whatever.  I have also successfully used a 2TB drive in a generic Rosewill JBOD external enclosure.  Both were freshly formated HFS+ (journaled) with GUID map prior to TM use.  Make sure you format journaled using GUID.
    I also get the "This disk drive may not support Time Machine backup over the network." popup but after ignoring it am able to add the disk (don't bother following the information link in the popup...hello 2005!).
    Not much help, but a note to say that it can be done and don't give up.
    Of note...if you are successful and one day you suddenly can't mount the backup volume on your server, fire up the Terminal and disable then reenable journalling on the volume using diskutil.  The Disk Utility app will check the drive/volume and say it they are fine, but the volume won't mount until you play with the journaling.

  • Networked Time Machine Backup in Yosemite (10.10.1)

    Hello Everyone!
    I am having issue using a networked Time Machine volume with my Debian Box. Prior to 10.10.1 Yosemite update Time Machine was working just fine. Even issuing the command sudo tmutil setdestination "afp://<Remote Server Address>/Time\ Machine/<sparsebundle>" and defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1, Nothing seems to work. Time Machine doesn't recognize the drive. I am able to connect to the drive by going to Go, but Time Machine still doesn't see the drive. My Debian Box is using Nettalk in conjunction with AFP. I followed this link as a guide. If anyone know a work around that would be greaaaaat.
    Thanks!

    A "Netatalk" server is unsuitable for use with Time Machine, especially if it's your only backup. I know this isn't the answer you want. I know Time Machine accepts the server as a backup destination. I know that the developer says the server will work with Time Machine, and I also know that it usually seems to work. Except when you try to restore, and find that you can't.
    Apple has published a specification for network devices that work with Time Machine. The incomplete, obsolete Netatalk implementation of Apple Filing Protocol doesn't meet that specification.
    If you want network backup, use as the destination either an Apple Time Capsule or an external storage device connected to another Mac or to an 802.11ac AirPort base station. Only the 802.11ac base stations support Time Machine, not any older model.
    Otherwise, don't use Time Machine at all. There are other ways to back up, though none of them is anywhere near as efficient or as well integrated with OS X. I don't have a specific recommendation.

  • 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 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 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 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?

  • 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!!!
    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.

  • 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.
