Time capsule indexing does not stop

I'm running OS 10.6.8 and Time Capsule V. 7.6.4 when trying to backup, indexing does not stop for hours. Have backup dating back to June 13, 2011 and up until now, all worked fine. What has gone astray and how can I fix it?

7.6.4 is not the greatest.. IMHO you should take the firmware back to 7.6.1 at the latest.. and if your TC is Gen1-3 you can go back to 7.5.2
None of the updates in 7.6 onwards are relevant to snow leopard. And it slows the system down.
Your backups could have become corrupted.
Do a Verify .. See A5 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
As the TC age the disk can get a bit slow.. if it is filled up it will be extremely slow.. if you use wireless it will be slow.
Do an archive of the TC to a USB drive, if you need all the backups.. then wipe and do a one pass format of the TC disk.. and start a fresh clean TM backup.

My iphoto library, located on time capsule ( +/- 50G) does not load at all after upgrade to OSX to Yosemite ?

Dear all,
I am guessing, this is not the end for accessing to my iphoto (last update) library, my life memories, but after upgrade to OSX Yosemite, my iphoto library, located on time capsule (+/- 50G) does not load at all. I have sent the report to Apple.
I am, worried to save or see my pictures back.
Thanks fo your help.

Hi Larry,
Sorry, for the delay, in the meantime I have restored my previous OS.
But to answer you, basically , I use the time capsule as both a backup volume and an external drive.
It's a 1 To Capacity.

That is a bad idea
1 - since you have files on the same disk as your backup you have no backup for those files which apparently includes you photos - having no b means it is just a matter of time until you lose them
2 - The TimeMachine backup grows until it fills the volume it is on - when the TC is full iphoto (and maybe other programs) will stop workig due to lack of space
You need at least two external hard drives - one for the iPhoto library (this one needs to be directly connected with a fast wired connection like Thungrbolt, Firewire or USB and be formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) ) and a separate EHD for you TM backup

Time capsule now does not work with Lion just installed.

Just downloaded Lion to Mac Air. Time capsule now does not work. Where is the problem?

Restart the TC.. lion is stupid.. it forgets what it is connected to with alarming frequency ... like someone suffering dementia.
If it continues to have issues, plug the TC directly to the lion computer by ethernet (if not already) and try again. Change the wireless to manual in airport utility and change the wireless name.. to force a new configuration. Once setup you can just use wireless.
In the end you may need to reset the TC.. just hold in the reset button for about 10sec. It should then become available.. a reset does not do anything to data on the hard drive but you might need to restore any passwords.

Extra hard disk via USB time capsule (2TB) does not show in finder etc

I've found hunderds of questions that look alike but not one has solved it.
I have a Time Capsule with 2 TB hard disk. In all descriptions of the TC Apple states that an extra drive can be attached through the USB.
I did that. Wanting to create an extra network drive. I connected a (Apple formatted) WD Essential to the USB. With te newest airport configuration programm I do not see the hard drive. I do see it with version 5.6. BUT: I cannot see what is on it and so (not) select anything. I don't see it with the finder. I did do everything to make sharing possible. When connected directly to IMac it works fine. In airport I selected sharing etc etc. I don't want the disk to be used as a backup system (via Time Machine). Just an extra network disk. Please help.

I don't have a Time Capsule; I have an AirPort Extreme Base Station, which is similar except for not having the built-in storage. Since your question got moved from the initial category (where you posted it) to Time Capsule, maybe someone else who has a Time Capsule will pop by with some advice. If you don't get any more replies (other than from me), you may want to summarized what you learned so far, and post a new question (in this category). New questions often get more views and responses.
With a Time Capsule, you can share the built-in hard drive as general network storage (not just for Time Machine purposes), is that correct? Does that work for you? Can you set that up using the latest version of AirPort Utility?
If you set that up, I'm guessing it would appear in a Finder window in the same way. The Time Capsule appears in the Finder window sidebar, under SHARED. When you select it, the Time Machine's built-in shared volume appears to the right, and you can mount it using whatever security settings you used. If you have an external drive attached to the Time Capsule as well, and it is set up to be shared, it appears as a second shared volume. It is still just that one Time Capsule under SHARED in the Finder window's sidebar, but to the right, there are now two shared volumes. But I don't have a Time Capsule, so I'm not sure about that...
I don't know why the latest version of AirPort Utility does not see the external drive volume? If possible, I would try another USB storage device (even if it's a 4GB thumb drive), to confirm it does work, and it's not a hardware problem on the Time Capsule's USB port.
Also, if you have not tried so far, you may want to reset your Time Capsule (to give it a fresh start).

New Time Capsule 2Tb does not do FULL backup

I've been using a 500Gb USB drive and decided to upgrade to a Time Capsule 2Tb.
Installation goes without a problem. Everything the manual says should happen, happens. So far so good.
Starting Time Machine, I'm asked if I want to replace the previous Time Machine or use both. I select replace.
Using an ethernet cable to speed the process, Time Machine starts making the initial backup. This should be full.
However, after it finished - no apparent error messages, Time Machine just closed on its own - I decided to check that some of my most important files had been backed up. I have 3 VMs. Only 1 had been backed up!
I'm assuming there will be other files that haven't been backed up. But why isn't this a FULL backup??

It is all the information that was backed up in the first one. After it started backing up after the second time I deleted that .plist file, it only backed up 4MB...it seems to be doing that now.
Edit: an interesting error seen in the time machine widget is "Could not mount recovery partition"

HT201514 My Time Capsule/Router will not recognize the other Apple wireless devices that I own. The older Air Port goes online immediately and recognizes each one by name. The Time Capsule/Router does not finish the start up--long yellow flashing light.

I recently purchased a MacBook Air and an Airport Time Capsule. The Time Capsule does not recognize my old iPhone, my old iPod Touch and my new MacBook Air. The old AirPort Extreme works perfectly on the network, so I know it's not my internet. It also recognizes all my devices by name and hooks them up to the internet. Is the Time Capsule broken or is there some secret trick I need to know to get it to work?
Ellen H.

Check the Ethernet connection to the AirPort Express. Make sure that the Ethernet connection from the Comcast modem is connected to the WAN port on the back of the AirPort Express. The WAN port is the one with the circle of dots shown over the port.
It sounds like you are connected to the Ethernet LAN port.

Time Machine BU does not stop

I have been having problems with TM where the back ups do not complete; TM gets stuck. The problem has gotten to the point that the only way to stop the BU is to restart the computer. Most of the errors listed in the Time Machine Buddy widget involve an Error: (-36) although the message following this is not always the same. The most recent failed back up is listed below. I reformatted the external drive and things worked OK for about a week. I reformatted again and this time the problems started after several hours of successful back ups.

Stopping backupd to allow ejection of backup destination disk!

Yes, Verify did find errors and Repair fixed them. I excluded the TM disk from Spotlight indexing as suggested. When trying to exclude the private/var/db/receipts file, the search found five files pertaining to Apple Discussions; I excluded all five from the BU. Despite this, the same error messages were obtained (below). This time however, the BU seemed to work, although it took a very long time.

I have a new Macbook pro, about 2 months old, and at times running video, the fans starts and does not stop. how do you get it to stop.

I have a new Macbookbook, about 2 months old, and at times running video, the fans starts and does not stop. how do you get it to stop. Also i am thinking once the video is done the fan should be slowing down and getting quiet on its own.

Your fan(s) will run at high speed (i.e., loudly) while video is playing, and you can't get around that.
If your fans are not slowing down within 2-4 minutes after CPU- and/or GPU-intensive usage ends, and the application that was showing the video is still running, Quit that application. (In fact, if you're accustomed to Windows, you may not realize that simply closing a Mac application's window does not quit the application. You still need to use the Quit command in the application-name menu. There will always be a bright dot beside or below the application icon in your Dock for each application that is open.) Quit the ones you aren't using, and see whether that allows the fans to slow down without restarting the machine. If that doesn't do the trick, reset the SMC:

Unable to update when executed, table gets lock Execution does not stop Execution even for an hour

Following is my Query unable to update when Executed table gets lock Execution does not stop even for an hour.
update Employees
set Status = 'Close'
where statusid IN (select statusid
from MyView
where DownloadedDate ='2014-07-27 00:00:00.000'
here Employee contains 3,00,000 of records and Subquery return 1,50,000 Empid
i tried in various ways but not able to solve, statusid column have no index on, i tried using cursor but it does not work.
plz let me know how to solve this Issue, THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Hello,
You should better post your question to a more related Forum, like Transact-SQL or SQL Server Database Engine; this Forum is for samples & community Projects.
Have you checked the execution plan if indexes are used?
You could update the data in chunks, e.g. 10.000 rows per execution. For this you have to add a TOP clause and a filter to update only those, who are not updated yet.
update TOP (10000) Employees
set Status = 'Close'
where statusid IN
(select statusid
from MyView
where DownloadedDate ='2014-07-27 00:00:00.000')
AND Status <> 'Close'

Setup solution database - "2007 index does not exist"

Hi all,
after setting up the solution database following the Implementation Guide on a Solution Manager 7 SP 19 system, I created some test problem and solution articles and linked them.
When I try to do now a full compilation for the first time via SAF Diagnosis, Goto > Indexes, then the error message "2007 - index does not exist" comes up.
So, I checked the customizing and did the customizing again. I assigned the Knowledge Base SDB to a higher level than its sub knowleged bases SDB Problems, SDB Solutions like this:
SDB
- SDBATTACHEMENT
- SDBICS
- SDB PROBLEMS
- SDB SOLUTIONS
- SDB SOLUTIONS DOC
Anyway, the same error message
I checked some threads but it didn´t help so far.

Did anyone solved this issue?
How can I activate the index?
Any hints/ ideas are highly appreciated.

Hi guys, just to get the thread up.. quite important.
Is there anyone who can share some ideas?

Synchronization does not stops

Hi all
After installing MI, MAM etc, during the Synchronization for the data (5000 measurement points), the data comes but the Synchronization does not stops or takes a very long time to stop. Confirmed about the data by tracking the memory and also by restartign the device once the memory is stable, the data exists.
Similarly while creating measurement documents for 150 docuemtns syn works fine, but for 300 documents the data gets successfully posted but the sync does not stops unitl we manually restart the device.
We use Symbol 9090 and program memory available is 2 to 3 MB.
Is it a memory issue?? Did any one had come accross this problem??
Thanks
Raj

Hi Raj
Surprised that these recomendations doesnt work. Anyway i have one more recomendation which is related to TIME AGENT. If you are using any of the Agent feature, which is made available recently in MI then this could also result in an endless sync. The Time agent which is one of the several Agents, can never have a value TRUE for the History parameter. As for the possible solution, please change the value of AGENT_HISTORY in the TIME_AGENT parameter set to FALSE and then assign this parameter set to a device configuration which inturn in assigned to a device. Please test this new scenario with a fresh client installation and not with an already synced client. This should solve this endless problem.
Or other way of testing this is In the client there is a file named <b><i>agents.properties</i></b> in the MI settings folder. Here there would an entry called TRACE_AGENT#AGENT_HISTORY=TRUE. Please set his value to FALSE. Let me know if this works.
Best Regards

Windows service Hyperion S9 BI+ 9.3 Core Services does not stop 100%

Hi there,
we run core and interactive reporting on a win2003 box and run them with windows servcies.
Most of the times when I stop the "Hyperion S9 BI+ 9.3 Core Services" windows service it does not stop completely.
In the windows taskmanager I see java.exe and rmservice8.exe still running.
I have to kill those processes manualy to stop core completely.
Is there a reason or a cause for this behaviour?
And does anyone know -if this behaviour cant be avoided - how I command line driven stop the processes which still run?

Sorry I seem to have posted into the wrong forum.

Create timer function that does not use start-sleep

Hey all I would like to create a timer function that does not use the start-sleep command because this freezes my GUI. I've wrote the start of a function but it seems to move on before the specified time has finished.
Here's what I have:
$Global:timerCounter=0
$Global:timer = new-object System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherTimer
Function Timer{
param(
[parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
[int]$time
$timer.Interval = [TimeSpan]"0:0:$($time)"
$timer.Add_Tick({
$Global:timerCounter++
if($Global:timerCounter -ge 1) {
$Global:timer.Stop()
$timer.Start()
Then in my script i would like to call Timer -time #of seconds. It seems that when I call it the add_tick is registered and then started but it continues on with the rest of my script. Is there a better way of doing this without using start-sleep?
Thanks!

Okay the issue I'm having is that I have code after the $timer.start that I don't wan't to run till a powershell job is done. In all the examples I've seen it has to come to the end of the code then it starts the tick. So in your example it comes to the
end of of your code and showsDialog() then starts ticking.
So:
add-type -AssemblyName system.windows.forms
$form=New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form
$btn=New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Button
$form.Controls.Add($btn)
$btn.add_Click({$form.Close()})
$btn.Dock='Fill'
$btn.Font='Lucida Console, 20.25pt, style=Bold'
$btn.Text=[DateTime]::Now
$timer=New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Timer
$timer.Interval=1000
$timer.add_Tick({$btn.Text=[DateTime]::Now})
$timer.Start()
$form.ShowDialog()
#I want to do other things here but only after the ps job has finished
Thanks I really am trying to figure this out.
Here is the code I'm working with I guess I'm unclear on how to order the timer and the rest of my code:
if($syncHash.mainCopy){
$syncHash.mainJobDone = $false
$syncHash.writeHost = $false
while(-not $syncHash.mainJobDone){
[System.Windows.Forms.Application]::DoEvents()
if($syncHash.writeHost -eq $false){
Write-OutputBox -Message "Copying"
$syncHash.writeHost = $true
$syncHash.inProgress = $syncHash.mainCopy | Where-Object {$_.State -match 'running'}
$syncHash.currentCopyTime++
}elseif($syncHash.currentCopyTime -ge ($syncHash.averageCopyTime * 2) -and $syncHash.collectionCopyTime.Count -ne 0){
$syncHash.Unusable += $syncHash.currentMainCopyMachine
$syncHash.computersNotForInstall += $syncHash.currentMainCopyMachine
$syncHash.inProgress = $null
$syncHash.mainCopyTimedOut = $True
Write-OutputBox -Type WARNING: -Message "$($syncHash.currentMainCopyMachine) is taking too long. Removing Job.."
Add-Content -Path $log_path -Value "$($syncHash.currentMainCopyMachine) taking to long to copy to"
Stop-Job $syncHash.mainCopy
}else{
$syncHash.inProgress = $syncHash.mainCopy | Where-Object {$_.State -match 'running'}
Write-OutputBox -Message "." -NoNewLine
############################# ############# So I need it to wait right here I have other code other than in this block ############# that needs to run $syncHash.currentCopyTime++
if(-not $syncHash.inProgress){
$syncHash.mainJobDone = $true
