Time Capsule: Error: (-36) SrcErr:YES

Got 120+GB backed up and then this error message. I previously had "keychain" permission problems as well but those I fixed with a clean system install. I'm so frustrated with this, everything worked so well for a year and then I did a "software update" for MS Office and kaplooey. I'm left with these errors after a week of working on others. Since it's working fine "other than" a backup decice perhaps my best route is an external non TC backup purchase? Sigh...any help would be great!

  • Time Machine Backups Failing w/ Error: (-36) SrcErr:YES

    Machine History: 
    2008 iMac
    2.8 GHz Core 2 Duo
    4 GB of 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    Version 10.7.5 OSX
    External G-Drive 500 GB HD connected via Firewire.
    Late yesterday my iMac started acting crazy.  On reboot the machine did not come back up and was hung up on the Apple Logo.  The circular progress meter was spinning and the system would not boot into the OS.  At this point I started the system with the command key and R to get to the ulitlity menu.  At this point I initiated a full system restore back to a backup dated June 10th 2013.  The restore ran clean with no errors and the system came back up.  At this point I wiped out my G-Drive so that I could take a full backup of the system.  I partitioned the G-Drive 400 GB for Time Machine and 100 GB to manually backup photos and other files.  I created the partition and manually backup family photos since it seems that at times I've added photos into iPhoto and they don't get added into the backup sets. 
    At this point I noticed that the Spotlight Indexing job was running in the background.  The same time the Time Machine Full backup was running and initated and I'm not sure what happend.  I recieved a generic error stating that the backup could not be completed at this time.  Backups to disk will not run and recieve the same error.  It appears that there are a ton of files on my mac HD that have this Error: (-36) SrcErr:YES error.  I've tried a few things:
    Using Terminal to mv or cp the files locally on the mac HD.  This fails with I/O Errors
    Using Terminal to mv or cp the files to the backup HD connected via FireWire.  That fails with I/O Errors.
    I've confirmed that the files are readable by the application.  iMovie in this case.  I was able to play the video content.  So I belive that the files are in fact ok and good. 
    I've manually ran a full reindexing of spotlight.  I suspected that the indexing was out of sync and that Time Machine was having a hard time with the metadata.
    I've also confirmed that JPG file had this error in the /var/logs/system.log.  I was able to open the JPG with preview and iPhoto with no issues.  But, I can not copy or move the file to any locations on either the HD or the Backup HD. 
    Permissions on the files are rw-r-r.  In another case I changed them to rw-rw-rw and that still did not make a difference as I would have expected. 
    My fear is that my Mac HD is getting ready to take a DUMP literally.  Most of the stuff on the machine I don't care about however I do care about the family photo's and videos.  To this point I've been able to manually backup my photos to the external disk.  I have not yet backed up my videos.  Starting to get stressed about that.  I was about to take the PC in to Apple Care at the local store but wanted to disucss here as well.  Any help would be appreciated.

  • Error: (-36) SrcErr:YES Copying /.journal to (null)

    Not a huge concern since TM is still backing up successfully, but I didn't see this specific error in the troubleshooting guide. Maybe I'm a little OCD but when I see any errors in logs I get a bit twitchy.
    Anyway, my TM log is:

    I guess my question is... or questions are, what does that error mean and how can I make it go away?
    Thanks a bunch.
    Oh, and if it matters... the volume I'm using as my TM is an external firewire drive.

    That's odd. /.journal is a hidden file, and not a standard one on an OSX drive.
    Do you have any idea what it is?
    You could look at it via #A3 in the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.
    As you say, it's not causing the backup to fail, but you can exclude it, per the green box in #C3 of the Troubleshooting Tip.

    A wireless printer connects to the network just like your computer, or iPhone/iPad, etc. connects using wireless.
    The printer must be set up intially to scan to "find" available wireless networks, then your specific wireless network needs to be selected. Then the password for the network needs to be entered.
    Once the printer is configured to join the network, it is always connected to the network. No further configuration is required.

    Time Capsule error 22 - My time capsule was working fine and didn't notice anything wrong with it until it stopped backing up about two weeks ago. I never changed anything like computer names or the Airport settings. All I get is the following:
    The backup disk image "/Volumes/Data/Linda's Computer 1.sparsebundle" could not be created (error 22).
    I tried resetting the Time Capsule and connecting with an ethernet cable, although the Ariport Utility says everything is working fine through WiFi.

    If the light will not turn on the TC is dead. No matter that the hard disk is running.. it should only run at start up or when it is accessed not constantly.. that means the board in the TC has failed. Apple do not repair them.. They will replace it under warranty or applecare.
    If you have gone over the 12month warranty it will still be covered if you have applecare on any computer or an Apple TV. In fact the cost of the apple TV plus apple care is still cheaper than buying a new TC.. so it is a route some people are taking.. certainly depends.. in some places like Europe or Australia now, there is a recognition that statutory warranty must be longer on a product that is premium to the market. 12months is not good enough. Apple will sometimes listen.
    They might be fixable but I do not know how.

  • Time capsule error 111

    hey
    im having a problem with my time capsule error 111
    worked fine until last week and i heard it was an error with lion which i upgraded 6 months ago and worked fine until last week.
    I've tried some of the things said on these discussion boards but until now nothing....any other suggestions??
    thanks in advance

    I bought MacBook air last June 2011 with snow leopard os, then bought 3rd Gen time capsule 2tb. Tried to use it as backup but error 109 appeared. Then, I tried all tips in the net but nothing happened. I upgraded to lion os, tried to reinstall and back up again but error 111 appeared. Now my time capsule is just a router and one big paper weight. This apple product is an epic fail. It's really frustrating.

  • I can't connect to Time Capsule- error message: Backup disk is not available. Was working fine before.

    I can't connect to Time Capsule- error message: Backup disk is not available. Was working fine before.

    Restart it.. Does this all the time with Lion and even worse ML.
    Restart the whole network if that doesn't work.. do it in correct order.. from off.. modem.. TC.. clients 2min gap.

  • Time Capsule Error:  Unable to complete backup...

    For the past two days I've been getting the following Time Capsule Error message whenever it attempts to back up my system, "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while creating the backup directory." I can't get any more information about the error than that. If I reset my TC, will it lose all of my previous backups? Restarting my Mac didn't help. All other functions are fine, i.e. WiFi is good and I can still print to my printer hooked up to it. Any ideas?

    I'm having the exact same problem. If a b/u does kick off, it shuts down the Mac. I get the darkened screen with the window that says a reset is required.
    Anyone know how to fix this?

    First one is good.. anything Pondini responds to listen. https://discussions.apple.com/message/17748380#17748380
    A simple reboot of the whole network.. from off.. modem .. router/TC.. clients.. 2min gap will probably fix it.
    If it keeps happening, tell us your OS. (Most likely Mountain Lion.. which has networking ability of wet string and a pair of tin cans).

  • Time capsule error 11 - as listed in console log

    I haven't been able to do a wireless backup in about a month. The last times this has happened, I reset the TC and started all over with an ethernet backup. This is not a solution I want to use every month or so - it's not worth all the trouble because my TC is a long way from my computer. Could you check the following log and see if it's a file that is screwing up the backup. That appears to be the same problem for other people in the forums. Thanks!

    Thanks, yes just done that and it works OK. It is installed alongside AU 6.0 and appears in the Applications/Utilities folder as Airport Utility 5.6.app. Neat!
    It was the advanced tab that is missing in 6.0. This provides access to "Logs and Statistics", which is what I wanted to see.

  • Time Machine / Time Capsule Error: Backup disk image could not be mounted

    So I'm trying to back up to time machine, which used to be working fine, but I have this problem happening on two computers now (which probably means the error is in my Time Capsule.)
    The Time Capsule shows up on my "shared" list in my finder windows.
    I can connect to it, and open the folder inside, and SEE my two disk image files in there.
    But Time Machine gives me a "The Backup Disk Image Could Not Be Mounted" error. No other information.
    If I double-click on the disk image file directly, I get an error "The Following disk images failed to mount" and then it lists the file and says "Resource temporarily unavailable."
    Help, please.

    I'm caught in the same loop, with no end in sight. I've only been using Time Machine and Time Capsule for 2 months. This week it stopped working. First error message:
    "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume."
    Checking the Time Machine preferences, "Last backup" would read "backup failed"
    When I got this error, all the wireless functions went offline, even thought the TC light was still green.
    I would shut down, shut down the Time Capsule, shut off my modem reboot everything in order.
    Next error message:
    "Disk repair. The disk 'Backup of [my computer]' was not repairable by this computer. It is being made available to you with limited functionality. You must backup your data and reformat the drive."
    Then: "Time Machine Error: The backup volume is read only. To select a different volume ... Time Machine preferences ... "
    I spoke to someone at Apple, who sent me the Time Machine Troubleshooting page:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3275?viewlocale=en_US
    I went through:
    1. updated my system software
    2. updated the TC firmware to 7.4.1
    3. dragged the sparsebundle to DiskUtility. It took a while (more than an hour?) but said the disk could not be repaired. When I tried again, the repair function wouldn't run.
    4. tried to delete the sparsebundle, but it would choke at almost the end, sometimes it would just crash the finder, sometimes say "Sorry, an unexpected error occurred," sometimes "Operation cannot be completed because the item 'bands' is in use." I even tried to Stuff the bundle with 'delete original' checked, but the stuffing, after about 15 hours, jammed near the end (stuffed 20 gigs of 35 gigs).
    5. tried to reselect the TC, and run backup anyways ... now it can't find the volume, back to the error messages and crashing Finder
    6. checked password in Keychain, all ok.
    Now what??
    Do I use Airport Utility to erase it? At least TC is still showing up there. Or press the rest button on the back of the Time Capsule to reset to factory defaults?
    I've resigned myself to losing my backups. Now I would just like to get it up and running again.
    In hopes,
    Linda

  • Time Capsule Error - Disk not Avalable

    Just got a new 1TB Dual band Time Capsule. Wireless works, can see the disk on the time capsule, and use Time Machine to select the disk to use for backup. Thing is, when I enter the password and click ok, the fields like "Available, Oldest backup, etc., fill in, then go blank. When it try to back up it errors out. Then the icon in the menu bar shows an triangle with and exclamation point in it. Any ideas how to fix it?

    Figured it out.
    It seems as though you have to tell the time machine which user accounts have access to the time capsule. Specify the account name, as listed in your user accounts, with password. If you do this it will allow the time capsule to work.

  • Time Capsule error when interrupting a regular hourly backup

    Okay... So it's supposedly common knowledge that if you interrupt an hourly Time Capsule backup (not the big initial one) by putting your Macbook to sleep, the next time you wake your computer up Time Machine is supposed to just pick up where it left off. Right?
    Not for me. I got Time Capsule right when it was released and it worked like a charm for a whole entire month... Until one day I made the mistake of interrupting one of its backups. When I got back to my computer I got an error saying the backup could not be completed. I thought it was no big deal until I actually tried to start a backup again. First it stayed on "Preparing" for a long time... Then a similar error message. I tried again and again and got nothing but error messages. Nothing I tried worked.
    I decided to erase the Time Capsule disk and start over, essentially losing a month's worth of backups. Once again it worked for a few days until once again I put my Mac to sleep while it was doing a regular backup. Once again, coming back to my computer resulted in an error message. Once again it couldn't recover no matter what I did. I decided to try again from scratch, erased the drive, did the big backup.
    Today, after three days of it working just fine, I had to leave my house in the middle of a backup. I paused for a moment wondering if I should do it, but then thought, what the ****, you're SUPPOSED to be able to interrupt it.
    Um, no. Error message again. Except today I decided to run Disk Utility on it, which did work in reviving its backup abilities... HOWEVER something very strange happened. Spotlight started indexing the backup disk image-- something I'm pretty sure is not supposed to happen. It insisted on doing this every time I mounted the disk image, and only when it was finished indexing would it agree to dismount itself after backing up (like it's supposed to). Aside from that, Time Machine no longer asks for my password when I choose the Time Capsule disk... It just chooses it. It also doesn't alert me when I delete a file stored inside the Time Capsule disk (to tell me it will be permanently deleted) but instead sends it to the trash. And when recovering a file from Time Machine, the disk image doesn't dismount itself once it's done-- I have to do it manually.
    In short, it's not acting normal, as far as I can tell.
    So my question is twofold:
    1) why the **** can't I interrupt the backup without getting an error? It's not supposed to work this way. Does this work for anyone else?
    2) What the **** happened to the disk image now that I've got it to work again? It backs up fine and everything but it's acting weird.
    Thanks... Hope someone has any clue what this all means!

    I have a very similar issue. Spotlight is now indexing the backup volume on Time Capsule, and it is taking forever.
    Nobody else using Time Machine / Time Capsule here? I can't believe that.
