Since Lion, time machine says 'backup delayed' all the time??
Why, even after I have just completed a back up using time machine, is there an exclamation point and it says 'backup delayed'. It never did this before I upgraded to Lion and it doesn't show me the 'oldest backup' in preferences anymore..just a dash mark..almost like it's not been saving my backups? Anyone else experiencing this? Is it keeping track of my backups?
For those interested..I reported the bug to Apple and this was their reply. It is a known bug..so we just have to wait for the fix:
This is a follow up to Bug ID# 9975887. After further investigation it has been determined that this is a known issue, which is currently being investigated by engineering. This issue has been filed in our bug database under the original Bug ID# 9411363. The original bug number being used to track this duplicate issue can be found in the State column, in this format: Duplicate/OrigBug#.

Time Machine says Backup Delayed After Upgrading to Lion
Time Machine says Backup Delayed After Upgrading to Lion on both my Macs. It backs up fine when ever I connect to the USB drive but now seems to want to back up hourly when before weekly was OK. When it does not compleye an hourly backup it reports a delayed backup - failure on both machines. How do it revert back to it reminding me to do weekly backups?
I'm having the same issue with Time Machine on OS X Lion!
According to this webpage: http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/LionChanges.html
Backups (i.e., Time Machine, SD, CCC, etc.) will only save the current "Version" of files.
The above statement sounds like the issue @iJRB and myself are having after upgrading to Lion where Time Machine shows the following error message below within "System Preferences > Time Machine"
@iJRB: Is this the error message you are seeing? -
Why is Time machine saying backup disk disconnected? Using MBP 17" Lion 10.7
Why is Time machine saying backup disk disconnected? Using MBP 17" Lion 10.7
Do you have an external drive connected?
If you do has it gone into sleep mode? There is a setting in the OS to put drives to sleep if they aren't being used. Energy Saver "Put the hard disk to sleep when possible".
Also most external drives have a built in sleep function that if they aren't being accessed for a period of time they go to sleep by themselves. -
Can anyone help: my iphone 4 says no signal all the time
Hey guys,
Can anyone help me? I have done a factory reset on my phone and ever since, my phone will not regester any signal what so ever.
It just says "no signal" all the time. I have tried to reset network settings on it, but that doesnt work. Ive also tried to change carrier as it keeps telling me "your selected mobile network is restricted, you can choose a different network in settings." so ive tried every other network there is, but up until I did a factory reset it was working perfectly well on O2 if anybody could help itd be much appriciated.
Thanks in advance
SarahMarc,
Here's my story. Received iphone 5.... went to verizon and had them turn it on to my account. On to apple store to buy apple care. Put on Zagg sheild cover in the mall. Returned home. Played with phone.. no service. Tried to call myself via house phone.. no luck. No mail box set up. Can't set it up if I cant use the phone. Bummed. Called Verizon. He (David) suggested I return the phone to Apple store. Made an appt at the genius bar for the next day. In the store I had two bars, gal next to me had 4 bars on Iphone 4s with Sprint, Guy across had ATT with 3 bars. Now I had a new phone. New one was great - now had 4 bars in the apple store. Left... went to ZAGG, reinstall cover sheild then to Verizon and had them set it up with my phone number. Worked great while out and about.
Get home -- no service. Bummed again.... I checked the Verizon map and I was on the cusp of G4/G3. My phone was reading -- "o" and flipping to no service. David had told me he would call me back later that day, after I made a swap of my phone. David did call and suggest I get a signal booster. I placed an order for one. It arrived in two days, set it up - easy - and waited for all the lights to turn blue.... WALAA! Called the special number and the phone works great from home.
I get G3 service at home and when I am out LTE service. Funny - the LTE service light comes on right when I am exiting my driveway to the road. But I am glad that I have service from home. David called me again to check on how things worked out. So far I am good with my phone and service.
Signal booster from Verizon was my fix. Hope my story helps someone in the same situation. -
How can we take backup of all the RDL'S existing at Report server dynamically at one time
How can we take backup of all the RDL'S existing at Report server dynamically at one time ? I want to take backup of all the reports existing at the report server dynamically at one time only. currently I'm able to take backup of the reports folder wise
using VBScript. and I have to pass the folder names again and again. I want this to be happened for all the reports of all the folders at single shot only using VBScript.Hi DineshRemash,
Based on my research, we can store the following VB Script to a text file, then modify the file name extension from .txt to .rss.
Dim rootPath As String = "C:\Reports"
Sub Main()
Dim items As CatalogItem() = _
rs.ListChildren("/", true)
For Each item As CatalogItem in items
If item.Type = ItemTypeEnum.Folder Then
CreateDirectory(item.Path)
Else If item.Type = ItemTypeEnum.Report Then
SaveReport(item.Path)
End If
Next
End Sub
Sub CreateDirectory(path As String)
path = GetLocalPath(path)
System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(path)
End Sub
Sub SaveReport(reportName As String)
Dim reportDefinition As Byte()
Dim document As New System.Xml.XmlDocument()
reportDefinition = rs.GetReportDefinition(reportName)
Dim stream As New MemoryStream(reportDefinition)
document.Load(stream)
document.Save(GetLocalPath(reportName) + ".rdl")
End Sub
Function GetLocalPath(rsPath As String) As String
Return rootPath + rsPath.Replace("/", "\")
End Function
Then navigate to the folder contains the script, we can directly run the below command from the run menu:
rs -s
http://aa/ ReportServer -i download.rss
We can modify the rootpath to point at whaterver fold you’d like to download the RDL files.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

I need to erase my hard drive and start anew, will time Machine(external drive) and all the discs I got with my computer be enough to restart things. And secondly does RAM memory cards go bad. Here's the info on my IMac:
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac6,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.16 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2

Why do you feel you need to do this? That is such a 'Windows thing' to do!
And secondly does RAM memory cards go bad
Very rarely, but nothing in life is guaranteed (except death and taxes)! If you purchased RAM from a reputable source like Crucial or OWC it will carry a lifetime warranty. -

The light on my external Time Machine drive is on all the time. Up until about six onths ago it only came on when it was backing up. The drive is working perfectly and backing up regularly, but the light is driving me mad. I have tried to find an option to put it out but so far have not managed to do it. The drive is a Seagate 1TB Freeagent and has 913 GB free so cannot be anywhere near full. Can anyone offer any advice or guidance to turn the light off?
I suggest that you contact Seagate technical support.

Hi, i had backed up my data and then when i restored my phone with the restore backup option, all the photos, music where there but no apps. Al my apps are disappeared. Can you please tell me where are my apps backed up?
Apps (like other synced media like music) are not included in the backup that iTunes makes. Thus, restoring from backup if the apps are not in the iTunes library there are no apps to restore to the iPod.
Redownload the apps into your iTunes library.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
And then restore from backup.
Make sure that in iTunes>Preferences>Devices the box that say "Prevent iPods..." is checked otherwise when you connect the iPod to the computer the previous backup (with your app data) might be overwritten. -
I have requested for free up gradation of mountain lion os. My mac meets all the eligibility standards. I applied it on 25th and haven't got any code till now. Pls help
After you press download, check your Launchpad. The icon will show up with what looks like a white dot where you'd expect to see a progress bar. That white dot actually is the progress bar, as ML is a 4GB download and can take anywhere from 1 to 15 hours, depending on your connection speed. On the average 1.5Mbps economy connection, it will take about 7 hours to download.

I restart my mac air accidentally during reinstallation, after I restart the machine again, I lost all the drives in my computer including win OS. what can I do?
This is not a reply. I just want to elaborate on this problem.
My computer freezes occasionally when it is used after being sleep for a while. The spinning ball appears and everything is totally disabled. Nothing on the keyboard works.
The mouse moves, but does not work.
The only solution is to turn the power off and on (losing all data in open applications.)
I kept the System monitor running on the side to find out which program was running when the computer froze. The Monitor as well as all other applications froze, but the data showed:
Firefox 18.4%
Activity Monitor 0.9%
Firefox Plugin 0.2%
This is all the information I have. By the way, I am using iMac with OS 10.6. -
My Time Machine says backup drive is too small
After upgrading to Lion I created a new backup. My Time Capsule had 400Gb free, and the full backup is 270gb. However after a day or so time machine cant perform a backup because there isnt enough space on the drive. It says it needs another 270gb. The size of the backup hasnt changed since snow leopard so im not sure why this has happened. I feel it could be to do with File vault 2 which I enabled after upgrading to Lion. Also after I did the full backup it said on the TC that it was only 22mb in size, but this has now changed.
Many thanksgooober wrote:
What is strange is that I had the exact same problem with Time machine after I moved my Time machine drive from being directly connected to my Macbook Pro to connecting it to our Airport Extreme.
After I moved the drive, I got an error message stating the same - yet there was plenty space left on the drive!
That's a different problem. Time Machine stores backups differently when done over a network. See the blue box in #E2 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
And I hate to have to tell you this, but backing-up that way is unreliable and not supported by Apple. See Using Time Machine with an Airport Extreme Air Disk. -
Time Machine shows Backup Delayed
My time capsule / time machine have been working perfectly
Totally hands off, hourly backups etc etc
Now I have the problem that every backup is delayed as the backup disk is not available
Once I select the backup disk manually the hourly backups resume as normal
When I re-start the problem is back.
So unless I remember to manually select the time machine disk I get no backups
This was working perfectly, before I restored some files from the time machine
HelpWhen did you start seeing this issue? Have you downloaded Mac OS X v10.6.8 and Mac OS X v10.6.8 Supplemental Update? If you plan to upgrade to OS X Lion, you will need Mac OS X v10.6.8 Supplemental Update but I must be honest with you:
Early adopters to OS X Lion, like myself, have found issues like the one you're having with Time Machine on OS X Lion. Backups are showing as "!" in the menu bar and error messages "Backup Delayed: Time Machine could not find backup disk" and Time Machine isn't keeping records of past backups. When I noticed this once installing OS X Lion at first run of using the new OS, I had to reformat and erase my external 500GB G-Drive Mobile FireWire 800 drive and the issue still hasn't been fixed.
If deleting the corrupt preference doesn't work, try submitting feedback on Apple's Support page for Time Machine by visiting the link provided:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/timemachine.html
The nice thing about the transition between OS X Snow Leopard and OS X Lion is the OS installs itself over Snow Leopard without you losing any of your files unless you find a way to do a "clean install".
