TC Keeps backing up until full; then crashes

Myself and my flatmate share the same TCapsule; however whilst he can successfully perform both an initial 80Gb backup via ethernet and then subsequent hourly backups wirelessly - when i try to do so my initial 120Gb backup runs continuously until the 500Gb TC is full - and then falls over.
*Actions to date*
I have reformated the TC twice now with the same result via ethernet backup.
I tried backing up once based upon wireless alone - same result.
I have reinstalled Airport Utility
*Background info*
500Gb Timecapsule, 2 months old as an Apple provided replacement for one that crashed and was within my AppleCare protection plan.
Both of us operate on 10.6.6 with Intel based MacBookPros
Both initially backed up via Ethernet cable, then left TC to operate wirelessly.
It used to work for me, but has failed to do so on the old TCapsule and the new, therefore i suspect it might be to do with my MAC.
I haven't tried re-installing Snow Leapord 10.6 from scratch as yet - but that seems a bit extreme?
Any thoughts, tests, advice or whatever will be gratefully received!
thanks

Hi, and welcome to the forums.

Most likely, yes.

It may come to that, but not just yet.
Start by verifying your internal HD, per #A5 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum).
Then do a "full reset" of Time Machine, per #A4 there.
Then try again (via Ethernet if possible).

ICal keeps giving error message and then crashing

When I open iCal it says "The server did not recognize your user name or password for account “US Holidays.” Make sure you enter them correctly." and also "The server did not recognize your user name or password for account “[email protected]” Make sure you enter them correctly"
When I click ok it crashes the whole thing. How can I fix this sync problem?? I can't even get to the preferences to check the password.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update

Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.

Battery Problems full then crash then no battery

I've been experiencing problems with my iPhone's battery where I'll have a full charge then it will crash and say that I have no battery. Has anyone else experienced this problem? It has happened to me twice in one week.

Hi Cheffonz,
If you haven't already try resetting the iPhone by holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743
If it has the same issue, try draining the battery completely and charging it completely.
You can also, restore the iPhone to rule out issues with the software on your iPhone. This article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305744 will walk you through restoring the iPhone.

Updater keeps telling me to update-then crashes iPod

When I plug in my iPod mini, I get an update to 1.4 message. I click OK. It runs...then my Mini disappears from iTunes. But it still says do not disconnect. I quit iTunes. Then my Mini shows a folder with an exclamation mark. I restart iTunes, the mini appears again-and so does the updater. I say OK to the updater, and the whole problem repeats.
I don't know what to do. Help please.
iTunes 6.0.1.

I came to that conclusion as well and tried it. But more importantly (for anyone else who may have done this) I had my Mini connected via firewire. Normally not a problem. I have a 30GB iPod as well and I use it for that. However, when I tried connecting my Mini via USB. all worked well. I put a piece of tape over my firewire-pod cable with a note to self...don't use for Mini!

I recently used an external hard drive to back up photos etc from my mac, I didn't do a full system back up. Since then a finder window titled 'client node' keeps popping up every time i hit the spacebar. Can anyone help me please stop this happening?

Click on it, choose Get Info from the File menu, and check the format.
If it's formatted as NTFS, reformat it as MS-DOS, exFAT, or Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as desired, or install software such as Paragon NTFS on the computer.
If it's formatted as FAT32 or exFAT, use the Disk Utility's Repair Disk command on it; this may also happen for a flash drive which is about to fail.
If it's formatted as Mac OS Extended, click Authenticate and provide your administrator password, or change the permissions on that specific folder in its Get Info window.

HT201250 I want to use Time Machine to back up my pictures because my hard drive is full but I'm wondering if once I back up the pictures then delete them will time machine delete them off the back up too?

I want to use Time Machine to back up my pictures because my hard drive is full but I'm wondering if once I back up the pictures then delete them will time machine delete them off the back up too?

Evetually yes.
If your pictures have been in the same location (same folder, same subfolder, ...) for more than a week, then copies if them will remain in your TM backups until it fills up. They are then vulnerable to being deleted.
If they've been there for less than a week, TM could delete them as early as a month from now. If they've been there for only a few hours, chances are TM will delete them tomorrow.
This is why TM is not the best tool to use to archive data that you will be deleting from your main hard drive. Copy them to a dedicated external drive, or burn DVDs.

My signal is not working it keeps saying I have full signal then searching!!!

My signal is not working it keeps saying I have full signal then searching!!

Hello my fellow iPhone 4s users...
i have been going around the web for solution to the lost signal. Upon further investigation and diagnosis with my iPhone and other iPhone with a combination of chnage of sim between phones, resetting the network, hard reset and restoring a few times, it still persist. My analysis is that the iOS 5 >Settings>General>Cellular Data is the culprit. It does not have an option of switching between Edge and 3G (unlike the previous iOS lower than 5.0 or 5.0.1) It always stays on 3G. Now comes the trickiest part of my analysis. For networks having mid to low signal in areas, the updated dual antenna of the iPhone 4s switches automatically between 3G and normal signal. However, since it has no option to go down to Edge, it "automatically revert back to the original signal status". Sometimes from a very strong signal to a low signal area, it shows full bar of signal. but when you try to send an sms or make a call, it fails.
Conclusion:
I believe Apple has been digging deep with their softwate developers and checking the hardware of the iPhone 4s. And if my analysis is correct, they may have to incorporate the option of EDGE and 3G again.
Temporary Solution:
For low reception/signal areas, actually NONE... we have to wait for the update by Apple.
So either use our iPhone 4s as an expensive iPod on poor reception/signal areas and transfer our sim cards temporarily to another phone or have your phone put to AIRPLANE MODE on-off again.

HI:
It does not sound like a battery problem.
Try a couple of things:
1. Reset the SMC
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
2. Reset (if you can) the PRAM
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
If that does not help, delete the mouse in system preferences, turn it off, restart, and turn the mouse back on.

P.S. I only needed it once, but I have an old USB mouse in case my Bluetooth one decides to quit.

Hello StephanieeLovezYou,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone. I would be concerned too if my iPhone was only turning on when connected to power. I found an article with steps you can take when you encounter an issue like this. I recommend following the steps below:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.

I have a iPhone 4 and lately it has been shutting down randomly when I still have battery left. It also doesn't turn back on, until I plug it in to the charger. But when I plug it in, the low battery sign shows up then comes to the lock screen with 68%.

My iPod touch crashes. There is no rhyme or reason as to when the crash occurs. It will not reboot until reconnected to a power source. Once connected to a power source, it reboots and works well. When disconnected it will work then crash again.

My Ipod Touch 4th generation (8gb, iOS 5.1) crashes for no apparent reason. There is no rhyme or reason to when the crash occurs.
Once it crashes, the only way to reboot the iPod is to connect it to an external power source (computer or AC outlet). Once connected, it will reboot and operate normally.
When disconnected from the power source, it will operate for a variable periods of time (maybe minutes, maybe hours) then crash again. It can't be rebooted until again attached to an external power source.
Has anyone experienced a similar situation? Thanks for your help.....

I hate to let you down. I live a long way from any Apple store, so I returned the iPod to the seller. I really don't know if I'll buy another.
I know it's probably an isolated incident, but this kind of experience leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

If it is itunes on your computer - stop people from connecting their phones to your computer, do not connect to others.

Back up disk is full, can I keep backing up?

My 1TB back drive is full so I get messages now from Time Machine saying the disk is full and the oldest back up will be deleted to make room for the latest back up... the oldest back up is usually pretty old, like May 09 or something so I don't mind it being erased.
My question is, is there any harm in just continuing like this without upgrading to a larger back up disk? I don't mind it deleting these 6 month-plus old files because I would never use them anyway.
Just trying to avoid buying a 2TB disk as I use a raid drive and would have to buy 3 in order to fill it!
Thanks.

no, there is no harm. you can just let TM do its thing and keep deleting old backups to make room for new ones.
