Time capsule backup not working - again!

My 2TB Time Capsule has been causing problems recently - hanging and not backing up completely - and also causing my iMac to hang with the spiining beachball of death.  I have other backups so I decided to erase and start again - but, three times now it has backed up OK for the first few GB - saying it would take one day to complete the 1TB backup.  But, each time it gets to 18.65 GB - and then says it wil take 26 days!  I left it for another day and it had only backed up less than one more GB.
Why is this happening?  Why does it hang at the same amount?  I have even erased it completely - which took 8 hours - yet still the same problem!
I have tried everything that seems relevant in Pondini's list (and deleted time machine .plist)
What else can I do?  This is driving me crazy!

Hi
Thanks for your advice.  I erased the drive in the TC - first attempt was via quick erase then later via an overnight complete erase.
I am now giving up on this backup - which now shows it will take 29 days! It has actually reached 23.7 GB now.  However, as I said earlier it backed up the first 17 GB in about as many minutes - then, on each attempt it has got slower and slower - until now at only 23.7 GB it will take a month!
I have now detached the TC from wirelss,leaving only an ethernet connection. I will try and reformat and start all over again!

  • Time Capsule backup not working anymore after upgrade to Snow Leopard

    Hi,
    after I upgraded to Snow Leopard I started the backup process with the time capsule. Within several days I tried this about 5 times and the iMac crashed or froze after some time doing the backup - but it never completed.
    I then deleted the whole content of the time capsule and started a fresh backup. Now I receive a message after some gigabyte that there was a problem and I should try it again. Again the backup has not finished so far. I tried to reduce the amount of files to backup by excluding folders - no chance. Since the upgrade to snow I was not able to complete one single backup.
    Any ideas or similar experience?

    I have had a similar problem. I have the latest 1TB Time Capsule and backup worked fine in Leopard. I am backing up over my home wireless network. The backup starts, but at some point it freezes with the spinning pizza wheel if I click on anything. Everything freezes with no possibility of force quitting any application.
    I tried trashing the plist for Time Machine, but that didn't work. Tonight I'm going to try a backup with the computer connected to the Time Capsule by Ethernet.
    I can access my existing Time Machine backups on the Time Capsule.
    This is a frustrating situation. But for this, SL works great, but this problem is a critical one.

  • My Time Capsule does not work with existing WiFi

    Following a question solved on March 24 by LaPastenague, but gone bad again.
    Apple AirPort Time Capsule
    I felt the need for a physical backup of my data, as I would not completely trust the different clouds. I use, and have used Dropbox for 4-5 years and are very satisfied with that, but I am still not sure if or when a political lunatic will shut off the internet.
    I purchased the Apple AP Time Capsule 2T, because all my other stuff are Apple, and that it's wireless. My old backup is Maxtor 300 GB.
    Since we stay 2-3 weeks on two locations, one in Norway and one in Sweden (two different countries) we must use Mobile Broadband 4G, cables or fibre connections are useless for us, and we don't have it up to the houses. I have one mini router for each country, we bring with us iPhones, iPads, iMac, Apple TV, APExpress. When we pass the boarder I change the mini router, and the system continues working perfect on the WiFi, except the APExpress that needs to be reconfigured,  but then it works.
    The APTC was difficult to make working as it would not accept to be in an existing network, but with good help from the Apple Community, LaPastenague, with forcing the TC connect to the APE with Ethernet cable in bridge mode, ref "My Time Capsule does not work with existing WiFi" from March 24, the problem was solved and all gadgets worked together in a perfect harmony, until we changed location.
    Now, as I have my second WiFi network, and the APExspress is reconfigured, it's like the TC thinks, I am the base boss here, I am not taking orders from APE one more time, and it simply does not work, not only that, it fluctuates all the time.
    I have a slight feeling that the two WiFi bands are making the trouble as during the configuration of the TC sometime the last figure 6 and 7 pops up, and that has something two do with the two different 2,4 and 5 GHZ bands
    So, I am curious if you have any idea ?
    I am thinking of returning the TC if I don't make it work now, but how do I delete all the data that's on it?

    I can deal with the last question first and easily.
    I am thinking of returning the TC if I don't make it work now, but how do I delete all the data that's on it?
    Open the airport utility .. go to the disk tab and select erase.
    When you select erase you will get mulitiple options.
    Quick removes the file table but does not delete the files,, it takes 2min or less.
    A Zero out data is the secure way,, by writing 0 ie low level drive format.
    It can take several hours..
    7 pass will take a week.. not recommended..
    35 pass erase is ridiculous.. it would take a month.. put an ax through the TC. It is quick and better.
    Now, as I have my second WiFi network, and the APExspress is reconfigured, it's like the TC thinks, I am the base boss here, I am not taking orders from APE one more time, and it simply does not work, not only that, it fluctuates all the time.
    The fact that it did work and has now failed might point to faulty unit.
    The only way to tell is reset it properly to factory and start over.
    Universal Factory Reset.. any model TC or AE.
    Unplug your TC/AE from power or turn off at the power point.
    Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on..  all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. (this is often difficult without a 2nd person or a 3rd arm).
    Release it when the status light flashes rapidly. If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have missed it and try again.
    Note..
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations of the router.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk in a TC.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
    Generally having multiple wireless AP should not cause problems.. but it is better to set channels manually.. so it doesn't go beserk rotating channels.
    Remember to keep all names short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    Sadly though the Apple routers have no logging now and no SNMP and almost nothing to help diagnose a problem, so if it continues .. take it back to apple.. they have given you no other method of fixing it.

  • Why is Time machine backup not working after Mavericks upgrade?

    Why is Time machine backup not working after Mavericks upgrade?

    I had the same problem due to the Fire Wire port.  Apple tested it told me it is OK!, I tried a new cable, and have tested both ports on my back up device.  I find it strange that as soon as I installed Mavericks.  The drive does work using USB.  It could be a coincidence, I don't absolutely know at this point, my back up drive ports could stop working, but I doubt it!

  • HT3728 since Oct 25 my time capsule is not working properly. I enter the time machine to check my backups and the only thing I see is balck screen on every single day since I put it to work on my house. Any ideas on what's going on?

    I am having problems with my time capsule.
    It's not backing up... if I enter the time machine, all I see is a black page, any day I look, since the day I bought it.
    Was not like this before Oct 25...
    Any ideas on what's going on and what should I do to make it work again?

    Check the USB cable first to make sure that it is operating correctly on another connection.
    You may need to use a powered USB hub with the drive since the USB port on the Time Capsule is not a high powered port like you have on your Mac.
    You may need to use the powered hub even if the hard drive has its own external power supply.

  • Why does power nap time machine backup not work on my August 2012 macbook pro retina?

    Hello. I got a MacBook Pro with retina display in August of this year 2012. I have done the SMC ? firmware update and I have 10.8.2 installed on my machine. Power nap still doesn't seem to work. I have the button in energy saver preferences and I have clicked it so it looks like power nap should work. When I am running Time Machine backup with the time capsule and I close the lid (plugged into power) it appears that no progress is made when I reopen the lid. I have closed the lid with activity monitor running and with network displayed. When I reopen the lid it may take up to one minutes to come out of sleep. When it does come out  of sleep I can see that there has been no network traffic.  Eventually, time machine backup resumes and I can see several megabytes per second. When I closed the lid overnight, just to make sure backup didn't restart after lid closing, I saw that no progress had been made in backup when I reopened the lid.
    What options are left if I already have 10.8.2 and I have done the required firmware?  One person has mentioned a clean install but I really don't like to have to reenter all the different passwords and all the different preferences again unless that's absolutely necessary. Are there any other options left to try before a clean install?
    One other bit of information.  I have filevault turned on; however, it looks like others have a working power nap even with file vault enabled.  If this is not an option, the power nap button should be grayed out when the machine is in filevault.
    Thank you for any help.

    Yeah I still have the same problem BTW; it still does not work.
    The second I open the lid and take it out of sleep mode, it starts to backup automagically, but when it's sleeping EVEN when it's connected to AC power, TM backups do NOT work to my OS X Server. 
    I don't understand what the problem is here.
    I didn't before but I do have FileVault turned on now -- should that make a difference?
    In either situation it didn't work, but now that I think about it, I could understand why it wouldn't backup while asleep.  Apparently the encrypted volume will stay encrypted during sleep and even at the lock screen; it's not until you open the lid and log in from the lock screen that it will unlock the encrypted boot volume.
    But even still, I did *not* have FV turned on before, and this still did not work.
    Is there some third party solution that can do what I want this to do?
    Here's my use case:
    1.) I have a mac mini at home that I use when I'm at home; it runs OS X server.app (bought and paid for) and has TM server turned on.
    2.) I have a laptop that I mainly use at work and I don't use at all when I come home (ie. when I'm ready to head home for the day I close the lid and don't open it until I'm back at work the next day, but the laptop does come home with me every day).
    What I want to have happen is this:
    1.) The minute my laptop enters my home wifi lan (even though it's still asleep with lid closed) I want it to automatically backup the boot drive.
    I thought that's what Power Nap was supposed to do, but then I found out that in order for this to work, you have to be connected to AC power; so then I tried that -- ie. every day I come home, I put my laptop in a docking station that has AC power, but TM backups while lid closed / sleeping STILL do not occur!
    Thanks for your help everyone...Looking forward to a solution that works.
    EDIT:
    I found this thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4158709
    "It looks like Power Nap doesn't perform Time Capsule backups when the MacBook Air screen is closed."
    So apparently that is yet *another* requirement to get powernap working.  The lid can not be closed. 
    What is the difference between sleep with lid open and sleep with lid closed!?

  • Time Capsule does not work and i can not not mount it anymore, even after follow all apples instructions at FAQs

    My Time Capsule suddenly stopped working, and i can not even mount it anymore. When i ask for a backup, the time machine keeps looking for a disk with no success.
    I tried all the FAQs suggestions:
    1) I change the name of the disk using Airport Utility;
    2) I updated it using Airport Utility.
    Now i can not even try to erase the disk because after to update it, the disk in not listed anymore.
    Now i can just read a "internal disk needs repair" message. that wasn't there before, having in mind that the first response was "there is no space at the disk for a backup".
    What can i do?

    The TC has a fault..
    Power it down and let it cool off overnight. Power it on again the next morning and check if it works.. no luck factory reset.. do all the tests quickly as you have 10-20min before the Temp rises to kill it again.
    No luck it is dead.. give us the actual model number.. A1xxx from the base.
    How old is it?? Beyond 3years they do become dodgy.

  • Restore from Time Capsule slow not working properly help!

    I bought my time capsule about two weeks ago. I have backups from most of those days on my time capsule. Since then I had to clear my hard drive and re-install my operating system. I did not think this was a big issue since i had the backups on my time capsule. However, whenever I try to do anything with a restore it is EXTREMELY SLOW. I only once got it to where it said it would restore, and I had and estimated time of over 15 days. That is just not even reasonable. I have tried restoring from several sources: restore from backup (after booting from disk), migration assistant, time machine. They all are very very slow and I only have about 100gb that was backed up. Does anyone have any tips on how to get this working. I have spend over 6 hours on tech support. I am connect via ethernet cable and I just do not understand why this is so slow.

  • Help with Time Machine Backups not working..

    Let me preface this by saying I have spent the last day scouring the internet for solutions to my problem. I have tried every option that I have run across and have had no luck in resolving my problem. As a last resort, I'm turning here in hopes that you can be of help.
    I have a 2012 Macbook Pro running Moutain Lion.  I use an external HD for my time machine backups.  I am having an issue with Time Machine not functioning.  The initial error message I receive when I attempt to use TM to backup is:  "Time machine couldn't coplete the backup to Rick's backup disk". "Unable to complete backup. an error occurred while creating the backup folder".
    I searched the forums and net and found several things to do to try and resolve this issue.  My computer will freeze out and not let me erase, or re-partition the the hard drive, so I switched it over to an older macbook of my girlfriends and am successfully able to erase, and re-partition the drive (using disk utility) as suggested by several forum postings I have read.  I am able to run disk verify and disk repair and both say the disk is "ok" with no issues.  The moment the erase and partition is done, her computer prompts a message : "Would you like to use this disk for Time Machine Backups" which tells me it is working properly.  When I move it back to my macbook pro and attempt to run TM backup, it will now work and copy about 10g of my 120g before shutting down with this error message:
    "Time Machine couldn't complete the backup to "Rick's Backup Disk".  An error occurred while copying files. The problem may be temporary. If the problem persists, use disk utility to repair your backup disk."
    If i attempt to re-run TM at that point, I get the original error message:
    "Time machine couldn't coplete the backup to Rick's backup disk". "Unable to complete backup. an error occurred while creating the backup folder".
    If I move the TM back to my Girlfriends computer and attempt to run TM, it will function properly and backup her entire harddrive.  When I erase and try again on mine, I always end up back with the same issues.  It's clearly something in my macbook that is screwing it up.  Can anyone please offer some help! I'd be much appreciative.

    Not one of Apple's more informative messages. 
    There's a problem with a file on your system.  See #C3 in the above link. It will show you how to locate the message(s) that describe the problem, then help you fix it.    If that doesn't help, post back with details, including all the messages, what you've done, and the results.

  • Time machine backup not working right!

    I am running Snow Leopard on a reasonably new imac 20".
    I have been having problems getting my computer to backup to our timecapule. We have it programmed to automatically backup, but it is coming up with the error message: the backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk.
    I have looked in the console, and initially found an error message relating to a flashplayer/sys file (sorry can't remember all the detail, and it doesn't seem to be there now). I set it to exclude that file from backup, and crossed my fingers. Still no joy.
    It is now showing the following error message:
    Dec 14 22:08:21 00-25-4b-8d-28-95 com.apple.backupd[427]: Error: (5) getxattr for key:com.apple.backupd.SnapshotState path:/Volumes/Backup of Sebastian Jonsson’s iMac/Backups.backupdb/Sebastian Jonsson’s iMac/2009-12-03-053418
    It keeps repeating, the only difference is the numbers at the end.
    I have no idea what to do now. Can anyone please help me, I'm worried about not having my info backed up properly.

    I have the same problem which has just started when all was working fine. I have done I think all the things suggested in Time Machine - Troubleshooting User Tips but I still get the same error message.

  • Time Capsule update not working for a few MAC addresses

    Whenever I update the Timed Access Schedule list of MAC addresses, some of the Wireless MAC Addresses I include go back to unlimited access ("Everyday" "all day") after a while.
    In other words, the "update" list configuration is accepted and works for some time; but the filter applied to some of the MAC addresses simply stop working after a while; therefore, those MAC addresses go back to the status of unrestricted access.
    This is happening consistently and I am not being able to program some MAC addresses in my local network to follow the schedule I wish (i.e., accessing the network only within previously specified.
    Has anyone experienced such a problem? Is that a bug? Any hints on how to solve this?

    Does anyone know what may cause such an issue?
    If you restart the TC does it work again?
    Check the connectivity leds on both ends if possible.. certainly each port on the TC has small, micro small LED.. is it green when you are plugged in??
    You will need to connect a computer and attempt to ping the TC.. see if it passes packets.
    How old is the TC? The model number from the rubber foot please.. A1xxx
    And also if you can check the log from a computer if there are any issues.

  • Time capsule wifi not working

    My time capsule wifi is not working.  I believe the issue happened around a couple upgrades ago. 
    I've searched the internet the found that others have downgraded airport utility and time capsule firmware.
    Airport Utility - 5.6.1
    Time Capsule - 7.5.2
    OS x yosemite
    I'm able to see the time capsule and backup but I can't see the wifi SID.

    That is gen3 and getting well past the 3year reliable period.
    I think you are simply due for replacement.
    You can update the firmware to 7.6.4 although on these old units I recommend no greater than 7.6.1
    And I doubt it will fix anything. There is no reason 7.5.2 should not work.
    I am unsure how you are getting 5.6 utility to work in Yosemite.. but try using the native airport utility.. which is 6.3
    Please open the airport utility and set fixed names for wireless and the base station that are short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    Then lock the wireless channel but put no wireless password onto the TC .. if it still won't work, sorry it is dead on the wireless side and it is time to replace.

  • Time capsule ethernet not working

    For some reason, all of a sudden my ethernet is not working on my time capsule. My wireless is running fine, but my xbox and tv box are not getting any connection. This does not make any sense to me.
    Does anyone know what may cause such an issue?

    If you restart the TC does it work again?
    Check the connectivity leds on both ends if possible.. certainly each port on the TC has small, micro small LED.. is it green when you are plugged in??
    You will need to connect a computer and attempt to ping the TC.. see if it passes packets.
    How old is the TC? The model number from the rubber foot please.. A1xxx
    And also if you can check the log from a computer if there are any issues.

  • Time capsule is not working!!!! help me!!!

    Ok my time capsule is showing an amber light and will not connect to internet i've had it for 6 months and it was working now it will not.
    ok so I know my internet is working because i have a hard line on one computer and that one is connected. I've been told to open airport utilities and the network then to switch IP address,subnet mask, Router and DNS server. So I switched utilities info with network info and it did not work(has worked in the past). I really don't know what to do Im not very tech smart so please help me!! school starts soon and i need my network up.
    oh and I've talked to my internet providers they are unhelpful, they say the internet is working so its not their problem..and i understand that but a little help would be nice...oh and I have talked to a friend who works for apple and she could not help so please help!!...lol thanks

    Under Internet Connection in the Airport Utility, what have you got for Configure IPv4?
    Have you tried Renew DHCP Lease?
