Time Capsule isn't talking to Time Machine. Need HELP!

I am experiencing a problem with my Time Machine & Time Capsule
For starters, I'm not much of a techie ....
Have been deleting data stored on Time Machine to make more room for backups. Started getting error message: "Backup volume could not be mounted”
Even though I had not changed passwords, I did this,
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2048 and it didn’t work.
So then re-set up the Time Capsule.
That didn’t work and I got a different set of error messages.
Now, “Connecting to backup volume” takes long time then I get this error message “The storage location for Time Machine could not be found”
Did this : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1337
Didn’t fix it.
I can copy files to the drive, the WIFI still works, I just can’t use Time Capsule on it.

It's the container that Time Machine puts your backups in. It's an odd, special sort of disk image.
I tried both A4 & A5 with no success. Can I completely wipe the airport and reinsall everything?
You can, but that will delete everything.
What happens if I simply delete the sparsebundle?
That will delete only your backups; nothing else. Then you can start over with Time Machine.
How much "other" stuff do you have there? Were you deleting old backups to make room? If so, that's going to be a problem again, sooner or later. The reason is, Time Machine will, by design, fill up all the empty space available to it, then begin deleting the oldest backups when it needs room for new ones. That's great, unless you want to put other things there.
There are a couple of ways around that problem. One is simple: connect a USB drive to your Time Capsule, and put your "other" data there.
The other is to make a (normal) disk image on the Time Capsule's internal disk, to "reserve" a fixed amount of space on it, then put your other files in it.
For future reference, you can delete selected Time Machine backups, or all backups of selected items. See #12 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.

Photo Recovery in Time Machine - Need HELP !!!

Hello Everyone,
Problem - How do i recover back all my photos that's in my iPhoto application inside my Time Machine Backup ? Do i need to recover the whole system back from my Time Machine backup to get all my photos back ? It's Important for me. Thanks alot ! If I open iphoto in TimeMachine its Empty... = (

Open iPhoto then launch Time Machine. You should now be able to restore your pictures. If that doesn't work locate your iPhoto Library in your pictures folder and restore it from there.

So mein Problem:
Ich hab meinen late 2011 er iMac meinem Dad geschenkt, der hat auch einen 2011 allerdings 21 Zoll. So ich wollte genau so vorgehen. Starten mit CMD+ R Taste, Backup aus TimeMachine auswählen. Tja nur sitzt da irgendwo ein Hund drinnen. Er Zeigt mir zwar die TimeMachine Platte, die per USB angeschlossen ist, aber er findet kein TM Backup drauf.
Ich hab jetzt 10 Stunden gesichert, auf 2 verschienden USb Platten. Gerade am 21 Zoll gesichert, nach 5 Stunden. 27er Aufgedreht, CMD+R gestartet, voller erwartung und wieder nichts.
Dann hab ich clean aufgesetzt und wollte mit mit integration machen. Da steht seit 30 minuten - Nach Quelle Suchen.
Leute, ich nehm gleich den Kübel und schmeiss den Mist ausn Fenster... ne spass ohne, ich verzweifel langsam.
Hat bitte jemand idee, anregungen etc pp.
Danke
Lg Tom

OK. I think you will find a solution here: How can I see my backups, or the backups for a different Mac?. Then use this one to restore your backup: How do I restore my entire system?.
I hope I understood you correctly.

Time machine restore help

I've recently been having issues with my early 2008 black Macbook. I ran the apple HW diagnostics and determined it is a bad hard drive. I went out and bought a new 500GB SATA HD, and attempted to restore my system using a Time Machine backup. I booted into the Leopard Disc that came with my computer, formatted the drive, and ran the Time machine restore. Everything appeared to go fine (took about 2 hours, no error messages). However, after the machine rebooted and attempted to boot into OSX an error similar to this popped up. http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/7792/pict0017lo8.jpg
Any thoughts as to why this is happening? I don't really want to start over with a clean install, that's why I have Time Machine!
Other information:
My computer originally had Leopard, and was upgraded to Snow Leopard.
I have boot camp setup on my mac for Win 7. (I know this isn't backed up or restored as part of a time machine backup, which I'm O.K. with.)
Thanks in advance for all your help.

Any number of possibilities. First, did you prep the drive properly:
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.)
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Any brand new drive should be setup per the above because they usually are configured for use on PCs rather than Macs.
Second, depends on how you went about the process of restoring your system. Select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for "time machine." Look for an article specifically about performing a full system restore. Also, see User Tips for Time Machine for help with TM problems. Also you can select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for "time machine" to locate articles on how to use TM. See also Mac 101- Time Machine.
What you saw was a kernel panic screen. Panics at startup may be indicative of a hardware problem. You might give this a try:
How to run hardware diagnostics for an Intel Mac
Boot from your original OS X Installer Disc One that came with your computer. After the chime press and hold down the "D" key until the diagnostic screen appears. Run the extended tests for a minimum of two or three hours. If any error messages appear note them down as you will need to report them to the service tech when you take the computer in for repair.
Some "common" error indicators:
SNS - sensor error
MEM - memory error
HDD - hard disk drive error
MOT - fan error
To assure the problem isn't with your backup you might consider installing OS X by itself. If all is OK, then you can complete the TM restore using Migration Assistant.

HT1338 lost word document. time machine no help. suggestions?

lost word document. time machine no help. suggestions?

Need more info. How do you think you lost a Word Document?
Try Easy Find, Search program, and search for *.doc*. That will turn up all Word Docs with both the .DOC and .DOCX extension on your complete hard drive.
If it is truly lost, Deleted, then you are basically SOL. Unless you do have a recent TM backup that has that file included.
As for recovering it from TM do a search for Pondini TM FAQs.

Macbook Pro -yosemite install stalls at disc select with ''This disc is used for Time Machine Backups' - help !

Having downloaded Yosemite it installed fine on my iMac but on my Macbook Pro installation has frozen at the Disc Selection stage (where you want it to install) with the message 'This disc is used for Time Machine Backups'.
I cant find a way past this to complete the installation.
Any ideas anyone ?
Many thanks.

Time machine needs its own partition to operate. So you are not going install a OSx Lion on that volume.
If there is enough room you may be able to partition the drive on the fly with DiskUtility
Are you saying you clean installed Lion and you are trying to move your user Data over with TM via the migration Assistant? Please explain.

Time Machine needs "work space" after reinstall of Snow Leopard

Hey all,
I had to completely nuke my hard drive and reinstall Snow Leopard after my hard drive got corrupted and my MacBook wouldn't boot up. I restored my system from my Time Machine backup, and after installing all updates, everything on the system seems all hunkey-dorey.
Except for Time Machine. Whenever TM tries to do a backup, it tells me that it needs 250GB of storage for a backup - as if it's completely ignoring all my old backups. I'd prefer not to wipe my external drive, so if there's a way to get TM to work again without a wipe, I'd love to hear it, but I suppose if I have to, I have to.
One more thing, according to the Time Machine Buddy widget, TM detects that it has a migration, but the UUID doesn't match. Here's the full log.

You reinstalled OS X which causes TM to backup the drive from scratch. This is normal.

Installed Snow Leopard now my Time Capsule isn't functioning.... HELP

Good news- my lovely wife bought me Snow Leopard for my birthday last week.
Bad news- since I've installed it my Time Capsule isn't backing-up....
I've tried two overnight, yes overnight, attempts at backing-up, plus countless other aborted attempts. Time Machine, manages to 'calculate changes' and on one of the occasions even started to back-up but managed only 470MB before failing to register any change for the next 7 hours....!
This is driving me nuts!
I've been into my local Apple re-seller (I wish I was in the States) and suggestions have been:
1. Change the computers name.... the idea being it'll see it as a whole new back-up. Hasn't worked.
2. Erase all my back-up to date and start again..... Really, what and risk losing everything.
Can someone out there help me..... please.
Merry Christmas.

Time Capsule, no time machine, need to transfer pc data

Greetings,
I have a macbook pro accessing a time capsule wirelessly.
Time capsule being used as wifi network, and wireless hard drive. I am not using the "time machine" backup settings.
I have a 1Tb usb seagate external hard drive formatted for my pc. I would like to use this drive to transfer pc files to my new mac world.
If I plug in the pc drive to my macbook the drive shows up on the desktop and i'm able to copy the files to the time capsule wirelessly. however this takes days, and there is a chance the files might corrupt.
If I plug in the pc usb drive directly to the time cap, it does not recognize it.
How am I suppose to transfer 3Tb of pc files to this wireless time cap drive?
How do you switch files from pc to mac without it being impossible?
This is a terrible situation. Must I use my tiny 2gb usb thumb drive to transfer 3 TB piece by piece? Some of my files are huge. the total is even larger, 3 tb etc...
any help would be great. the guy at the store said i could just plug in the pc drive to time cap, it would recognize it and i could dump the files. doesn't seem so.
is there a special way to do this?

ok i did that.
it states the following
ethernet adapter wireless network connection 2:
connection-specific DNS suffix : home
ip address.......... ##.####.##
subnet mask...... ###.###.##
default gateway...... ####.###.##
all ### are number combinations IP address numbers etc...
You have ### out the numbers.. so I am unable to tell you anything.. I need the numbers.. they are essential but giving them to me will not expose your computer.
Here are mine.
You see they are private addresses.. no body can link to them.. they are not routable on the internet.
Any IP in the private address range is non-routable..
What you need to do is put the IP of the gateway into Windows Explorer (not internet explorer although it is the same thing in the end).
\\gatewayIP
With a TC it is by default, 10.0.1.1 but if you have bridged it then it is something else.. find out what and plug it in.
If what you are seeing is ipv6 addresses please turn off ipv6 in the PC. Do not use it unless it is necessary.. it adds a big layer of confusion.
i still don't see any drive on the network, and can't figure out how i should do so
Method is above.
does it matter if the drive is formatted for a mac sinc it's in TC?
Nope,, it is a network share via SMB.. the format is totally irrelevant.
i don't even know if my pc has the right drivers for the ethernet i can't figure it out. the green light is on when i plug it in, so there's that.
Did you turn off wireless? Do you have internet?
If yes, to both questions, the ethernet is working fine.
In the airport utility. Go to the file sharing and change the workgroup and guest access.. as I suggested already.. did you do that?? Change to SMB names?
Here is the Mac version utility screenshot but the PC version is nearly the same.
Please give the main summary page as a screenshot.

Time Machine recovery Help!

Hi forum.
I have Time Machine setup on a MacBook Pro backing up to a Time Capsule.
Now the user has lost his iphotos and we want to get them back from the backup.
When I "enter" timemachine, I cannot navigate, it seems the interface is locked on "today". The Arrows dont work and the timeline on the right shows no other date than today.
Yet on the timecapsule, there is a sparseimage 500gb with 245GB free. Mounting the sparseimage there is a folder for the computer and a ONE SINGLE file in there called DDMMYY.inprogress . That file is 136MB big and was last modified on the 27th of November (looks good my data must be in there).
Problem: I cannot access this file. How can I access it?
If I try to copy the file to another drive it says "cannot copy the file Error -1426"
Help!
Is there anyway to view the contents of this file directly?
Thanks for any tips
the wumpus
PS - sofar, Im not impressed with Time Machine. I set it all up to backup, it backs up fine for months, and when you need it it fails you. Sofar 0/10 (given Im doing things corectly...)

You mean going into the pictures folder and entering time machine?
As I said, I tried that and I cannot navigate inside timemachine at all (the arrows dont work) nor do I see any dates.
Or did you mean something else?
Thanks

Time Machine needs file sharing mode

I have a Time Capsule (1rst Gen 2008, 500 Go) 56GB left, connected through Ethernet.
I just rebuilt the index but i still find odd it needs 4 mn to backup 10MB every hour
I have strange errors
mds[78]: ERROR: _MDSChannelInitForAFP: AFPSendSpotLightRPC failed -1
and
mds[78]: (Error) Volume: Could not find requested backup type:2 for volume
also,
1) i need to enable file-sharing (with airport utiliy), or Time Machine won't start
2) the name of the disk is incorrectly spelled in Time Machine preferences (with a "-1" at the end, as if there were two disks with the same name. There are not)
3) Time Machine seems to be using afp for the backup
com.apple.backupd[3242]: Attempting to mount network destination URL: afp://MyDisk
i wonder if there is a problem in the way Time Machine is configured
Any ideas ?

Time Machine Weirdness - HELP!

Using a mid 2010 MacBook Pro with 10.9.4 installed, all updates present. Attached a WD 750GB My Passport to the Macbook Pro, reformatted the passport to MAC OSX Extended Journaled. Check both MacBook Pro and Passport with Techtool Pro 7 latest version plus Disk Warrier 4.4... Everything seems to check out on both notebook and External HD.
Opened Time Machine in preferences, chose the WD / HD and began an initial back up on Sunday morning. It's now 12 noon on Monday and I only have 117 GB backed up so far...
This is when it gets weird. I've turned off the screensaver, put everything to the max in terms of power, clicked the "put the hard disk to sleep" to off etc.etc. and just dimmed the screen thinking the hard disk would stay awake.
However, every few minutes Time Machine hangs and stops backing up files... If I walk over and click the arrow on the system preferences box, which is open to the Time Machine box showing progress, then magically, it will start backing up again. I click the box itself not any buttons. Few minutes later, I go back, it's hung, I click on the box, it starts again. This is just not the way it was intended to work... BTW, Don't think it's the My Passport... I use my passports on my iMac (2 of them backing up in tandem) my other brand new MacBook Pro retina and my daughter's macbook.
My worst nightmare is to have this initial back up go on till Wednesday and then it gives me an error message,
Anyone seen this before, anyone got any ideas? I'm stumped!

Time machine need more space than necessary.

Hi.
Can anyone help. I have a two 1TB external hard drives one backs the other up. Until now it has been fine but suddenly time machine has decided theres not enough room even though there the same size drives. Ive deleted the backup drive and the time machine preferences but it still wont work. I have one drive with 930GB on and time machine says it needs 1.1TB of space. Why dose it need an extra 170GB. Help?
Thanks

Since Time Machine keeps copies of previous versions of things you've changed or deleted, it needs much more space than the data it's backing-up.
The extra 170 GB is for "padding" -- workspace on the backup volume, and in case the original estimate isn't accurate, or more files are changed or added while the backup is running.
#1 in the link Carolyn supplied explains this a bit more, and recomends that your backup drive be 2-3 times the size of the data it's backing-up.

Time machine partion help please!

I know this isnt the most accurate place to post this, but it ties in with time machine.
i have a 500gb external hard drive, partitioned in 2. one half is a bog standard hard drive for both windows and os x, the other is os x journaled for time machine.
How do i get the time machine partition to use the entire 500gb drive, without erasing the data on the partiton?
its fine to delete the data from the normal hard drive partition, as its been backed up to the new drive.

BennyboyOxtoby wrote:
yes luckily its on the top. so i can click on the 2nd partition, click the minus symbol, and then drag the time machine partition down to the bottom?
Great! Then it's easy. Just be careful.
why does it work this way? is there a technological reason for it? or is it just because the draggable sections only support being pulled down rather than up?
It's because a partition is nothing like a folder. Partitions occupy contiguous physical space on a disk; and the directory is first in each partition. Even an "empty" partition isn't quite empty -- there's a whole directory structure on it. Depending on the Format of the partition, it may be about 200 mb. If you've ever done a +*Verify Disk+* or +*Repair Disk+* (not permissions), you'll see references to all the various parts. That structure can be expanded as you add data, of course, but it can't be moved, so you can't expand a partition "upwards" on the disk.

Time machine needs reinstalling?

Greetings,
I wanted to enable Time Machine for the first time today.
So I go to System Preferences and click "Time Machine". One thing is weird here: a first click only shows "Loading Time Machine" in the title bar but doesn't open the pane (I can wait forever). I have to click a second time to open the pane.
Then, the padlock is invisible (I only see the "Click the lock to make changes" prompt but not the padlock). Moving the mouse over the padlock makes it showing. At this point, I'm thinking the prefs pane is corrupt.
And... that's all... Clicking the padlock (which is closed) doesn't ask me for the admin username and password and doesn't open the padlock so I can't do anything, except using the "Show Time Machine in menubar" checkbox.
So I'm thinking of reinstalling the Time Machine prefs pane using "Pacifist" (archive and install isn't an option for me because my internet connection is too slow for all the updates). However, I see one problem: my install DVD is around 10.5.0 and my installed OS is 10.5.8. I'm guessing the Time Machine prefs panes are different for these 2 OS versions. What can I do, otherwise?

Hello,

Hello, and thanks for your answer!
I've followed your advices (mostly: I've not put the finder and desktop plist files to the desktop, I wanted to do it at the very least. However, the problem has disappeared before that).
So, I can now finally access Time Machine (thanks again, BDAqua!). However, all seems to indicate it hasn't been installed correctly (I'm speaking about the preferences pane). While Time Machine is actually working (does the backup), it has several weird glitches:
1: in System Preferences, the icon is the generic System Preferences icon instead of Time Machine's icon.
2: the prefs pane's title shows "com.apple.prefs.backup" (or "Loading com.apple.prefs.backup" when it loads). Along with point 1, it seems to indicate it can't access the resources in the bundle, I'm wrong?
3: both in the status menu and in the prefs pane, the dates are weird number-formatted (instead of expected dates, they show like "22065118000". I can't explain this number, it doesn't even seem to be the number of seconds since 19 january 1904 (a standard base date in computers, as you may know)).
4: the ON/OFF switch doesn't show.
For points 2, 3 and 4, I've taken a screenshot:
http://homepage.mac.com/anic297/timemachine.pict
Most of these problems aren't annoying now that Time Machine works in its basis. The only problem that is still annoying is the one about the dates. I'd like to see "Last backup: <correct date>" in the status menu instead of "Last backup: 2207019000", as it is now. Macs were more easy to control and repair in Mac OS 9 days!
Any idea?
