Problem After Installing UBUNTU-Time machine

Hi, I beg you could help me!
I have a mid 2012 macbook pro (i7, 13 inches, 8gb ram, etc, NOT RETINA, 750gb)
Yesterday I connected my Lacie 2tb external disk to computer, It started to make a copy...and, it finished.
My setup was 150gb for windows (installed with bootcamp) and the rest for OS X (mountain lion).
Today I made a 80gb partition for UBUNTU, I've downloaded rEFIt and installed it.
After installing rEFIt, I shuted down my MAC, and ran ubuntu installer from a bootable USB.
I've installed Ubuntu, tested, played a little with it and then I rebooted to see if my OS X partition was ok.
First, rEFIt didn't show, so mac started booting linux, after this a LINUX menu appeared showing some operating systems and aksing which to log...
I rebooted again, pressing opt key, and rEFIt, windows, and recovery partition showed...i took rEFIt, entered OS X, and erase from disk utiliy linux partition...
When i restarted mac again pressing opt key, mac and windows partition where showing, nothing about recovery...so I connected LACIE disk, to make a restore of my system, but it showed that my last copy was on the 4 of JUNE (pretty old copy), but in time machine appears that my last copy was yesterday (don't know how to solve that either)... (IF SOMEONE COULD TELL ME HOW TO RESTORE FROM MY LAST COPY, DONT HELP ME WITH MBR RESTORATION PLS!
Well, after booting in my Lacie Disk too, I repaired some errors my macintosh HD had, from disk utility placed there, AND in this window also appeared a mac os hd of about 2gb (which I think its my recovery) but named as disk1 and without any chance of doing something to it...so is there any way to fix MBR?
When i use diskutil list command on terminal it doesn't show recovery hd o disk1 hd...
THANKS

The 2gb partition i talked about it's the one given by using INTERNET RECOVERY, so, it seems that i do not have any recovery partition in my mac, so, problem resumes to restoring system by the last copy in time machine which is not showing in internet recovery, but it does shows in my user account.
Thanks for help!

Problem after migration from time machine

I recently changed the hard disk in my macbook to a bigger one,
and then used migration assistant and my time machine backup to restore the system.
Everything seems to work just fine except aperture.
about 90% of my projects do not show any thumbnails, just outlined gray boxes with a file name
when I click on them I get to see the photo in question but when I click "show master" aperture says "master image offline" (and does not show the photo anymore)
my Library is referenced and the masters are located on the computers hard disk itself (not on an external one) and they are all there !
(i.e. they were perfectly transfered from time machine)
when I first opened aperture after the migration I got a message that the library was corrupted, I clicked repair and this produced a recovered folder
with a recovered project which as far as I can see is empty ?
I tried the 3 trouble shooting tools (repair permissions, repair database and rebuild database) none of which changed anything
I was going to try to restore the library file from time machine but now time machine says that I do not have permission to acces the pictures folder !?
(at least not on any backup older than the last one, which was done after the system was migrated)
I am starting to get stuck here, I found several references online to the same problem but no real solution.
Any ideas?

OK, so I did a clean install of snow leopard from the installation DVD and then used setup assistant to restore from time machine.
Since time machine had already made backups after I migrated for the first time it basically restored the system
to its previous state (with aperture not working properly), it did however restore the admin account which I had already deleted.
This allowed me to access my older time machine backups.
When I tried to restore the aperture library file (after first deleting the current one and emptying the trash)
I got a window saying copying 0kb from 10,68GB that just hung there
after checking my user account I found an aperture library file of about 6GB, I deleted this and did the restore again and let the window saying copying 0kb of 10,68GB run for half an hour, I then found an aperture library file in my account of 11GB. I opened aperture and guess what? exactly the same as before! no thumbnails and no access to masters except for about 10 projects (in fact every time I try this aperture makes previews for exactly 608 photos !?
I might try to copy the libary file from the old hard disk if I find something to mount it, but I am starting tho think that i will just have to reimport the entire library, and forget about the versions and be thankfull that I at least saved the masters :-(

After installing Yosemite Time machine does not work

Time machine no longer works after Yosemite installed. Can this be fixed?

Mine isn't working either. First time I've tried to backup an iMac and it is after 10.10.3 update. It won't complete the backup. File in finder ends in "in progress" - i have tried with two different drives, ran tests on both and on my startup disk. It is a brand new WD 2T My Passport for MAC and basically a brand new iMac (late 2014) - it will NOT complete a backup. I cannot find any answers on the support discussions - how can I get this working? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated - I'm concerned I don't have this machine backed up at all.
Here is what Time Machine is telling me (I tried disk utility on both of the external hard drives I have - and neither had an issue to fix):

After installing lion time machine is unable to make back up

Yesterday I installed Lion and wantedbto make à back up with time machine, but this failled.
I received the following message:
Time machine was unable to acces the back up volume 'volume/timecapsule emd/iMac of Edwin.sparsebundle' That is used for making back ups. (error 111). This is a translation of the error message in Dutch.
Through time machine I tried to acces my pre kous back ups, but again I received an error. This read:
This processen could not be completed. There has been an unexpected error ( errorcode -6584)
When I open finder I can see my time capsule and it says That it is connected.
I expected no problems since I am using à time capsule from apple.
Is There somebody with a solution?

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the word "Starting" (without the quotes) in the String Matching text field. You should now see log messages with the words "Starting * backup," where * represents any of the words "automatic," "manual," or "standard." Note the timestamp of the last such message that corresponds to a failed backup. Now
CLEAR THE WORD "Starting" FROM THE TEXT FIELD
so that all messages are showning, and scroll back in the log to the time you noted. Select the messages timestamped from then until the end of the backup, or the end of the log if that's not clear. Copy them (command-C) to the Clipboard. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message.
If all you see are messages that contain the word "Starting," you didn't clear the text field.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don't post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Some personal information, such as the names of your files, may be included — anonymize before posting.

Web services problem after restoring from time machine!

Anyone have a clue how to fix this issue?

Nothing worked....
Please elaborate as much as possible if you have any idea how to get rid of this nasty pop up every time you browse between pages or different wikis.
Million thanks in advance

I've the problem as well. When visiting my wiki-server I always get this popup message:
The versions of the server and UI don’t match. Try clicking Reload; if that doesn't work, please make sure both server components are up-to-date.

After a harddisk replacement I restored the server installation from TimeMachine back to the harddisk. From thereon I have the problem.
What is the problem exactly and how can I get rid off that message?

Trouble after installing a time machine back up on my new macbook pro

The time machine back up actually worked well. The issue is that the new mac is a macbook pro and the time machine install was from a mid 2009 Macbook air. It is saying that the mail program cannot be used on the operating system. I would assume it has installed an old mail program on my new machine and that is the issue. The machine does not come with a cd to install the upgraded mail so how do I fix this issue?

I accidentally bypassed the restore from Time capsule portion when I first started the computer so had to do this.
You actually don't want to do this. The hardware in your new MacBook Pro is significantly different from your 2009 Air. You may end up with stability issues and potentially a system that won't even boot into the OS. Podini's suggestion is best.

Problem after restoring from Time Machine.

So I just upgraded my imac with a new hard drive. I used a 500mg external drive for my backup. The Time Machine restore happened flawlessly. But now instead of TM backing up anything new from my computer, it wants to back up the entire hardrive (which I can't do, because I don't have enough space. So it seems like it's not recognizing the previous backups...make sense? Please help...

This is normal after you completely reinstall. If you don't have space on the backup drive then you will need to erase the backup drive (use Disk Utility) then allow TM to do a new full backup.
You need a backup drive that's at least twice the capacity of the drive in your computer if you use TM, otherwise eventually you will run out of space on the backup drive. When that happens you have to erase the drive or replace it with a larger drive.
For more help with TM you should read these User Tips at the top of the page.

great Problemes after installing Yosemite (10.10.2 ) with Photoshop CS6....The program crashes --last time 10 times during my work session..wacomtable doesnt work..it is slow...and get error messages about the graphic card....It s a Terror to work with my beloved Photoshop!

The Yosemite upgrade very often damages existing Photoshop installations. Thank Apple for that.
You need to uninstall and re-install Photoshop, then apply all the Photoshop upgrades from scratch.
But first, give us details about your setup:
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
A screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

How to re-activate 'Mail' after complete successful Time machine re-installation except 'Mail' backup keeps getting stuck?

How to re-activate 'Mail' after complete successful Time machine re-installation except 'Mail' backup keeps getting stuck?

Trying to re-instal my email history the 'Mail Message Import' dialogue screen says: 'Mail needs to import your messages. This might take a few minutes. You won't be able to use Mail until the import is finished'.
The problem is: after importing 5,000 messages it stops and the 'Time remaining' only keeps adding up to many hours (17 hours). There are almost 80,000 email messages in my Time machine backup.
How to get this working? I am even prepared to give up my email history if i can only get my 'Mail' application working again.

A lot of problems after installing Windows XP using Boot Camp on a Mac Book

I have been having a lot of problems after installing Windows XP Home Edition (2002).
For one, after installing Windows using Boot Camp with Mac OS X 10.5.1, I opened Windows on my Mac Book, inserted the Mac OS X Disk 1 as in the instructions and got the message: +"This package requires a newer version of the Windows installer. Do you want to update the version of the Windows Installer on your system?"+ When I clicked Yes (I had NO idea what it meant at the time), I got the message: "The required resource 'UPDATE' is missing" and the Installer quit.
How do I fix this problem?
Another problem I have is that there is no sound on the Windows XP, yet it works perfectly on Mac OS X. Is there any way to fix this problem?
A third problem I have is that I can't wirelessly connect to the internet using Window XP, yet I can on Mac OS X. I have no idea on how to fix this, and it's really messing with me. D:<
D: There are way too many problems, and I have a feeling there will be a lot more later on. Help....

Problem after installing 10.4.8

Hello,
I installed the 10.4.8 update today. I have a brand new macbook. When the update finished downloading, my screen just turned blank, my computer didn't react at all. I could hear the fan and that was it.
So, I waited for some minutes, nothing happened. I decided to restart it by pressing the power button for a few seconds.
The computer is working perfectly now and the update was installed. But, how do I know if my computer or the HD were affected? I ran the HD test and it says that the HD seems OK.
Is that a problem with my computer or is it because of the new update? I read a posting that mentioned similar problems after installing the new update.
Thanks...

How did you update? Mac OS X 10.4.8 Update (delta)?
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304200
After installing the delta version of this update on an Intel-based Mac, the computer will restart two times--the first restart after installing this update may take several minutes; please allow it to complete.

How can I fix repetitive 'fontd' crashes after recovery from time machine backup?

After recovery from time machine backup (Disk Utility told me to reformat my internal hard drive) i got annoying repetitive prompts from crashing 'fontd'. How can I fix it? Anyone suffering from the same disease?

Back up all data.
Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them, then boot in safe mode to rebuild the font caches. Boot again as usual and test.
Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.
