Time Capsule Error: Out of the box and unable to complete initial backup

I have bought a new 500gig Time Capsule a week ago and have been experiencing problems completing an initial backup. I have been following similar threads and have taken recommendations to look at the console. Below is a typical example of what I have found happens before Time Capsule/Machine crashes.
Aug 31 11:49:55 macbook /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[5965]: Error: (-36) copying /Applications/iWeb.app/Contents/Resources/Themes/Kids Pink.webtheme/Shared/dv1679003_A.jpg to /Volumes/Backup of macbook/Backups.backupdb/macbook/2008-08-31-105555.inProgress/5F6873B6-0869-411 6-BA84-A962B534EFAF/Macintosh HD/Applications/iWeb.app/Contents/Resources/Themes/Kids Pink.webtheme/Shared
Aug 31 11:49:55 macbook /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[5965]: Stopping backup.
I have attempted to exclude the iWeb application from backup but, after I reset the TIme Capsule, erase the previous (uncompleted) backup and commence the initial backup, the console shows that the backup encounters yet another problem with another " .lproj " file.
I have attempted to search for all files with the .lproj file extension but finder doesn't seem to be able to locate them all. It also seems a bit pointless to exclude all of these when the idea is for Time Capsule to do a full backup of the complete system.
Need help, please!

Try using Disk Utillity to repair permission first. I appears Time Machine is choking on the file "dv1679003_A.jpg". If it's just a permissions issue that will fix it. Otherwise, drag that file to the trash (without emptying it yet) and try backing up again.

My Foxtab page websites slip out from the boxes and are all muddled up. I have uninstalled and reset but still does it. My system is Windows 7

For about 4 weeks my Foxtab will not work properly. I fill the boxes with websites but they slip out from the boxes and when I click on one of them I get a different website. I have uninstalled Firefox and set up[ again but this makes no difference.

If the FoxTab extension isn't working properly then you need to contact FoxTab for support.

I just took my new MacBook Pro out of the box and the screen will not work. Display is, black no life to the screen at all

So I just ordered my first Mac book Pro. I took it out of the box and hit the power button to do the start up and the screen will not work at all. I shut the computer off and back on again. I plugged it in and unplugged it. I've done everything I can think of and the screen still stays blank with no life at all

Is the battery charged? Press the little button on the left edge, near the front. If no green dots, no charge.
Does it charge? When you connect the MagSafe charger, does the pilot light on the plug light up?
Does it actually start? Should sound a chime after you press the power button on the top/right corner. If it chimes, does the Caps Lock pilot light when you press it?
If it starts and Caps Lock does flash on and off, have you tried pressing the screen brightness control for awhile? F2 turns up the brightness, may be turned fully down.

Ok i literally just took my ipod 5 out of the box and the home button is not working help me pleasee!

I would go straight back to store, state the problem and ask for a replacement. Good luck.

"Not Enough Storage" just came up. Eveything frozen (Close, Settings in the box), and unable to slide to unlock and slide to power down. Help!!

Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. If you see the silver apple it's rebooting.
Might unfreeze it however you'll still need to remove some content from your device to free up some space.

Two Macs using separate Time Capsules on same network - The operation couldn't be completed. (OSStatus error 2.)

Six hours of configuration and I'm out of ideas.
Here's the layout:
Cisco Cable Modem connects to my ISP. It uses DHCP to distribute IP addresses which is necessary as ethernet throughout the house is piggybacked on coax and the ethernet to coax adapter has a mac address and needs to take an IP address (DirectTV - not my idea). Though not my preferred config, this seems solid.
Cable Modem connects via ethernet (though this crazy coax adapter) to Downstairs Time Capsule (call it DTC). DTC is set to create network without using DHCP so that no duplicate IPs are dished out. No problems so far - everything works. DTC has a MacMini hooked up by parallel ethernet and the MacMini is set to back up to the DTC disk, called "Combo Time Machine". Back up is running smoothly, no problems.
On the same network there is another Time Capsule connected, called Upstairs Time Capsule (UTC). UTC is set to create network in bridge mode so as to repeat the network created by the DTC (to increase range). All of this is, network-wise, is working fine:
UTC is connected by parallel ethernet to an iMac which I want to back up to the UTC disk, called "iMac Time Machine". This is where the problem starts. It seems logical that one Mac could backup to one Time Capsule while a different Mac back up to a different Time Capsule, even though everything is on the same network, right?
So here's what I see while using the iMac to try to configure Time Machine upstairs:
Looks good, right?
It's as if the Time Machine software confuses the two Time Capsules - it's asking for the Downstairs Time Capsule disk password, not the Upstairs one as it should be. Still, I try the password and here's what I get:
"The operation couldn't be completed. (OSStatus error 2)" means nothing to me... little help?

I have an idea this is going to take some working out.
What IP is the upstairs TC and what IP is the downstairs one?
Can you ping them both please by name and by IP address?
Can you manually mount the share you will use for time machine in the iMac upstairs..
In finder go, connect to server.
Type in the name AFP://user@TCname
You will then be asked for the password and it should be able to be stored in the keychain. Then select that for TM.. if TM still carries on, reset it and try again. See A4 here.

Clean Install VS Time Machine for "out of the box" performance

Hi all ^^
Just under a year a go I made the leap of PC to Mac and have never looked back, im super happy with my Mac however I have been experiancing a decrease in performance since Ive been using it, back when I was using a PC I clean installed the OS once a year and then proceeded to add my files back, thus restoring my PC to full performance.
Ive been reading around these forums looking at Time Machine backups, hoping to see 'how much' gets restored when you perform a recovery from time machine, and from what I have read is that everything gets restored. So my question is purely for some advice and clarification
"If I want to restore my Macbook to its "out of the box" performance, Is it viable for me to use a Time Machine back up?"
if not
"If Time Machine Back ups wont help restoring performance, Would it be possible to Clean Install and then extract purely the Files from my TM Back up?" I read another user had issues, the Mac recognised the files belonged to another mac and he couldent use them.
So I wont waffle on any furthur, but im looking for the easist way to clean install or restore performance to my Mac, a long term solution I can use each year
Please and Thank you
Em

Thankyou for your answer
Im quite a clean freak when it comes to my PC, I keep my desktop bare, things I dont use remain unloaded.etc
I think as I am without a Defrag or Disk Clean up tool I feel abit helpless to maintain optimal standards. I not very experianced with the in's and out's of computers but all I really want on my Mac are my Files, Applications and the OS, nothing more.
I appreciate your time and experiance, so ild ask instead: In your experiance is it worth performing a clean install? I have hadly any junk on my Mac, and from the tone of your post you beleive a program such as MacKeeper would be sufficent?
Futhurmore a clean install once a year isnt worth it? I depend alot on what people have told me, so I may have fallen victim to a rumour :S

Broke out of the box and itune update not working

Just got apple tv delivered today but it wasn't working out of the box... flashing white light..
So i connected it to itunes via micro usb and itunes won't restore it looks like the .dmg is missing..
This is really bad, surely apple have noticed the software update is missing???
Did this update work for anyone?

It's impossible to know how much work there is putting it back, it sounds simple but it might not be, it's been down a few days now, I suppose it depends on how much inconvenience it is to return it for another.

Time machine will online back to to a drive called "data" Time capsule back up drive is stuck in "Waiting to complete first backup". What to do?

So I can't get my time machine to do its first backup to the time capsule drive. It has been 4 days now and still says waiting to complete first back up. It did back up to a drive called "data" but it doesn't let me go back in time like it should.
What to do?

Hi blainerab,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact issue and configuration you are describing. If you are having issues with Time Machine and/or setting up Time Machine to work with your Time Capsule, you may find the following articles helpful:

Ink Cartage Error Out of the Box

I kept getting this error when setting up my printer. Then I realized the it was manufactured incorrectly. The color ink goes on the left and the black ink goes on the right. My printer came with the black holder on the left and the pink holder on the right. I can provide picture if need be. This can very confusing and frustrating when setting up. I ruined the ink cartages that came with the printer trying to figure this out. I had to go buy new ones because of this manufacturer error. I'm out $35 because of this.

NetBeans 6.8 - Glassfish error out of the box

Hi, I've just installed new NetBeans 6.8 and got problem running sample project PetShop. The error message I got is:

I just took my iMac 21.5 inch out of the box and it won't start.

It just beeps in three tone increments. The screen remains dark; I don't see any Apple splash screen or anything. Help!

I FIXED IT!!! I manually reset the ram cards.

Time capsule sparse bundle reading "temporarily unavailable" and Time Machine files are not in order; what can I do to check on my backup systems?

I have my time machine set-up with my time capsule/airport. I cannot open my backups in the time capsule as it reads "spars bundle temporarily unavailable." Also, my time machine backup files are missing some files and not in oder by name as designed. It seems something is is not working. I have don a disk repair on the time capsule. I have closed and reopened my computer. Still unable to open time capsule. Does anyone know where else I need to check for errors?

There are two key but related bugs in Yosemite..
The big one IMHO at least is the network one.. and the secondary one is TM which is itself unreliable.
To fix the Network ones we have a long list of things to do.. but you do apparently have access to the TC so for now that is not the major one.
However some of your statements mean I am a bit lost on what you have done.
I cannot open my backups in the time capsule as it reads "spars bundle temporarily unavailable."
If you cannot open your backups how can you find that the backup files are missing. The files are missing from the sparsebundle which you cannot open??
my time machine backup files are missing some files
You cannot repair the disk of the Time Capsule.. only the Sparsebundle can be checked.. that means that you have accessed it and mounted it for disk utility to check it.
I have don a disk repair on the time capsule.
So I am confused about the comments.
What I would recommend is the standard set of fixes to Yosemite.
Factory reset universal
Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
Setup the TC again.
ie Start from a factory reset. No files are lost on the hard disk doing this.
Then redo the setup from the computer with Yosemite.
1. Use very short names.. NOT APPLE RECOMMENDED names. No spaces and pure alphanumerics.
eg TCgen5 and TCwifi for basestation and wireless respectively.
Even better if the issue is more wireless use TC24ghz and TC5ghz with fixed channels as this also seems to help stop the nonsense. But this can be tried in the second round.
2. Use all passwords that also comply but can be a bit longer. ie 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
3. Ensure the TC always takes the same IP address.. you will need to do this on the main router using dhcp reservation.. or a bit more complex setup using static IP in the TC. But this is important.. having IP drift all over the place when Yosemite cannot remember its own name for 5 min after a reboot makes for poor networking. If the TC is main router it will not be an issue.
4. Check your share name on the computer is not changing.. make sure it also complies with the above.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. but this change will mess up your TM backup.. so be prepared to do a new full backup. Sorry.. keep this one for second round if you want to avoid a new backup.
5. Mount the TC disk in the computer manually.
In Finder, Go, Connect to server from the top menu,
Type in SMB://192.168.0.254 (or whatever the TC ip is which you have now made static. As a router by default it is 10.0.1.1 and I encourage people to stick with that unless you know what you are doing).
You can use name.. SMB://TCgen5.local where you replace TCgen5 with your TC name.. local is the default domain of the TC and doesn't change.
However names are not so easy as IP address.. nor as reliable. At least not in Yosemite they aren't. The domain can also be an issue if you are not plugged or wireless directly to the TC.
6. Make sure IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open the network preferences, wireless and advanced / TCP/IP.. and fix the IPv6. to link-local only.
There is a lot more jiggery pokery you can try but the above is a good start.. if you find it still unreliable.. don't be surprised.
You might need to do some more work on the laptop itself. eg Reset the PRAM.. has helped some people. Clean install of the OS is also helpful if you upgrade installed.
Tell us how you go.
Someone posted a solution.. See this thread.
Macbook can't find Time Capsule anymore
Start from the bottom and work up.. I have a list of good network practice changes but I have avoided Yosemites bug heaven.
This user has had success and a few others as well.

Yosemite has serious DNS bug in the networking application.. here is the lets say more arcane method of fixing it by doing a network transplant from mavericks.
http://arstechnica.com/apple/2015/01/why-dns-in-os-x-10-10-is-broken-and-what-yo u-can-do-to-fix-it/
That is all to cover the network side of things.
Time Machine issue is a harder one because there is no simple work around I can give you.
My recommendations are to stop using a TC and test TM to an external hard disk plugged into the computer.. Do a whole new backup and see if that is fully working and accessible.
Or change over to third party program for backup.. I do recommend Carbon Copy Cloner as I use it personally but SuperDuper has a good reputation and there are others. It is far easier and quicker to test a bootable clone made with CCC as you simply boot from the backup.

6 hr battery life on a Droid Eris out of the box

Hello eveyone.
I need help I just changed my blackberry storm for the Droid Eris.
Right out of the box and charged the battery lasts 8 hrs tops then it's decresed to 6 hrs.
THhis drop was due to my twitter and facebook usage which is very low and some emails that come in now. I cant surf the net due to the battery drop.
My old storm would go on for 2 days 1 full day with heavy usage. This is a new phone...what gives?
Thx.

It isn't the phones fault. It is due to an under amped battery. It is a strong phone that needs more juice. I would be hard pressed to believe the motorola droid or any other android phone has a huge difference in battery time. If there is a huge difference you don't use the phone as much as some of us do then. I purchased the 1750 battery from seido. Would have got the next one up the 3500 if it had been the price it is now. I recommend buying two and an external charger. I am getting ready to buy another 1750 and charger. This will increase the life of the battery for two reason primary reasons. Proper time for charging and the fact it isn't in use makes the charging cycle much better and effecient. I work in a hospital and get my phone searching quite often, from one netowork type to the next. I can get a solid 12 hours with 20% left at thend of the night when I get home. I have FB chat up litterally all the time bloo, I don't twitter that much but I get updates. I get mail pushed via gmail now. I do use wi-fi off and on as well. Since I'm in doors I don't actually leave the gps on, waste of power in general. Any of the newest smartphones have an underpowered battery. BB doesn't use use the web in the same fashion as android does and it isn't multitasking which is one of the big killers ont he phone. Use a task killer, select the improtant apps to ignor and make sure it cancels stocks and mp3 store, waste of cpu there. You can maximize the power you get with the battery you have, but the 3500, will add a small bit of thickness, but who really wants a hardworking model for a phone. She (the phone) just doesn't feel the same. Sorry to ramble so much, but it gets me when people say it is the phones fault or HTC is the cause. I disabled sense UI for a week and used the open UI that android has. I lost an hour and a half on the average daily, so I have to say from doing that and then turning it back on and getting the missed time back sense UI isn't the cause. I didn't notice any extra pps running when I used the open UI so I have no idea why it acted that way. It coudl have been caused by background jobs that the Sense UI uses but wasn't since it wasn't enabled and the services still ran, now that I mention that I need to check that out. It is the wrong battery fo the job, plain and simple. Replace your moto droid batteries and you will see a huge difference too. You can charge the new batteries for less time(4 hours or less pending on charger) and they will say full, but you get bad results when you short change your batteries charge time. To get the most out of my batteries, I charge them for a full 8 hours, the reason I am getting another battery and ext charger with dock.(http://store.androidcentral.com/mobi-products-cradle-w-spare-battery-slot/5A100A6693.htm) and the battery I am getting (http://store.androidcentral.com/seidio-innocell-1750mah-extended-battery/8A37A6399.htm) or the bigger battery (http://store.androidcentral.com/seidio-innocell-3500mah-extended-battery/8A37A6374.htm) You can find better prices but these are for reference. A note on airplane mode: It disable all radios in the phone. You will not receive calls and txt/mms messages. Basically it turns your phone into a PDA. You can enable the wi-fi for access. Since I replaced my battery I don't do it that often but sometimes I find it neccesary to use airplane mode for some of the remote desktop use I do on my phone.

Out of the box iphone dfu restore

Hello guys,
Soon ill receive my fist iphone ever, its gonna be 4s, so i wanted to ask for a little bit of help from pro users
I saw this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdwz1w47HqE
And as i dont have an iphone 4 to compare it to 4s for any speed related issues shown in this video.
I want to make and DFU restore or just basic restore just to be sure everything works as it should, but i dont know which one is better.I suppose it should be DFU,
but to be sure, i wanted to ask you guys for recommendation.
Thats it for 1st question, another one would be if i should do that straight out of the box without even turning on device, or should i turn in on,activate it set up some things and after that do DFU restore or basic restore.
Im looking forward to any helpful comments and i want to apologize for my bad english
With best regards
Radim.

Well it's completely up to you, but I suggest that you activate your phone out of the box and then DFU restore. But honestly, iphone 4S should be clean installed out of the box. Apple doesn't put junks or trials into their OS out of the box. Only Microsoft vendors does that (HP, Toshiba, Dell, Sony, etc)
