Time machine Active directory

I need to restore an Active Directory user account from Time Machine backup.
Aftrer reinstall the OSX I use "Migration Assistant" and I was unable to find into Time Machine backup the Active Directory user account.
Into this backup I can restore ONLY the local machine account, not network (AD) account.
What's wrong?

I don't use Active Directory, and know almost nothing about it.
But Time Machine, like most backup apps, cannot back up from any network location.
Were you ever able to see backups of that account? If not, it wasn't backed-up.

Date and Time in Active Directory

How to update date and time from internet in active directory server ?

Hey Hadi.Balaghi,
You do this from the command line by using W32TM command
Example: "w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:ntp1.tpg.com.au /syncfromflags:manual" (it's will be updated from ntp1.tpg.com.au server time).
I've provided you a link that explains in simple amazing on any subject time update, it also presents an example.
I recommend you watch the video and learn

PSE 8 Mac & Time Machine Activation

Hello, I Am using Photoshop Elements 8 Mac For OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, All is working ok. and registered and activated ok. But have one issue about your activation process.
I Have made a OS X 10.6 Time machine Backup as Of Today which includes Photoshop Elements activated but My Concern or question is:
1) Should I De-Activate photoshop elements 8 Before I Do A Complete Time Machine Restore Even though the backup has the activation within the Saved backup?
2) If not what do you reccomend on how to do a restore using time machine with PSE 8 Saved in The Backup file?
3) If I We ́re to activate and de-activate many times, would adobe block me from activating again as I Use Time Machine quite often sometimes?
4) is the ́re a limit of how many times I Can activate this product within a give time of period?
all these questions are related to TIME MACHINE FOR OS X 10.6 For 1 Computer

To clarify, the limit is two hard drives, but only adobe knows how many times you can activate/deactivate/activate on those drives before you get the dreaded Contact Adobe message.
Merely including PSE in your backup doesn't constitute using it--it's when you launch it that it activates.

A script/applet to indicate Time Machine Activity?

Hi,
I have just started using the Time Machine, and believe that it should have an activity indicator somewhere unobtrusively (perhaps in the dead 4 mm to the right of the Spotlight "magnifying glass" icon?). I am using a 500Gb LaCie drive for back-up, connected by a FW800 cable to my MacBook Pro. At times, I'd like to pack it up and go, but must open the System Preferences first, to make sure that the disk is not in use by the Time Machine at the very moment. The indicator should also offer a way of halting the back-up, in case I need to eject the back-up disk, pack up the MBP and go. (I do carry it around to all meetings and such during my work-day!)
I have posted a similarly-worded suggestion in Apple's feedback site. Until they do implement such a thing, does anyone know of an existing script or applet (or can write one) that would offer this?
Thanks, Tristan

First, it's great you have submitted this suggestion to Apple FeedBack. That is the only real way to get Apple's attention. More people should adopt this approach for suggestions like this.
1. TM backup activity is shown in two places. It's shown by two rotating arrows in the Finder's sidebar to right of the TM backup volume. The second place is the TM Pref panel itself.
2. The TM backup can be stopped by clicking the "x" icon to right of the backup progress bar in the TM Pref panel.
3. If you pack up your MBP (i.e., shut it down) while TM backup is in progress a warning message window will be displayed and you can either quit the backup or let it complete.
4. One could also use Activity Monitor and simply Quit the backupd process - but don't recommend this.
5. I'm unaware of any readily available script or drop-on Applet for doing what you've requested.
The above techniques shouldn't take too much effort on your part prior to packing up your MBP.
Good luck....

My Macbookpro will not start up. At first it was showing a gray screen with a flashing folder and question mark. I went through the steps to repair with disc utility and this did not work. How do I back up my data, without time machine activated?

I need to back up my files and date before erasing my drive, but my time machine backup is not coming up. How do I access my hard drive to back up my files?

A erase of the drive or boot partition is not always necessary.
Flashing question mark at boot could be a easy fix, sometimes it's the firmware that simply forgot what bootable volume to boot from.
Try holding the Option key down while booting the machine, a choice of bootable options appears, select your OS X and boot up.
When you get in, head to System Preferences > Startup disk and set it again new. This will tell the firmware what to boot from. Test it to see.
Now if you don't have a selection of bootable options, it could be that the drive is dead, or OS X is erased or corrupted so it can't boot.
You'll have to run through this list of fixes to see what's going on, if you need a hardware fix or what, I've also included links if you can't fix it and need to recover your data etc.
(If it's not remmebering your boot selection then also run through the list to reset things.)

IMovie deleted itself! No time machine active. How can I retrieve it?

I removed iMovie from the dock. It was not in the applications folder anymore. I was not running time machine when this happened. How do I retrieve it without having to spend $15 on a new iMovie?

Removing iMovie from the dock should not delete it from the Applications folder. However, if you delete it from the Launchpad, it will delete it from the Applications folder.
If you have a retail copy of iLife 11, you can reinstall from DVD.
If you bought iMovie from the Mac App Store, you can open the Mac App Store, make sure you are signed in with your Apple ID, and find it in your installed apps. You can download it from there.

How can I restore an unsaved pages file lost upon laptop dying? Time machine not activated.

Hi,
My laptop died and when it restarted all the documents that were open with pages, except for an essay reopened upon start up. I need to find this essay immediately. I am willing to pay for an app or some other means as long as I'm guranteed it will work? I am not that into computers and technology so I did not have time machine active as I've only really heard about it since trying to locate the file.

Until you have saved a document at least once, it exists only in memory. When your computer died, your file disappeared.
Accept it as a learning experience and a reminder to save your documents immediately on opening them for the first time. That gives your Mac a name for the document and a location to save the file.
Regards,
Barry

Initial Time Machine Backup never ends

Hi all folks,
I try to backup my PB12 Disc (120 GB) to a external 500 GB Disc, connected via FW400, but the backup never ends, I think.
The backup starts with 100MB/min but after 20h (80GB are store to a external Disc) it slow down to 1MB/min.
With the "Activity Monitor" I see only some disc activities and a "mds" and "mdworker" process use some cpu time only (more than 10%).
Where can I get some detail information, a log file, about the Time Machine activity from.
Thanks for any help,
Lutz

Hi all folks,
the initial Backup ends after 2 days (nice to to see, :-(),
but on the boot volume I can go the time walk only.
I split my disc into two partitions, sorry.
Bye, Lutz
p.s.
With CCC I spend 4-6 hours to back up my disks only (100GB).

Time Machine & sleep computer settings

Is it OK to have time machine active and set my computer to sleep after 2 or 3 hours?
Will time machine work when the computer is not asleep, that is will it continue to back up when it is sleeping too?
Is it advisable to set my energy settings to never for computer sleep and just have my display sleeping in order to let TM backup hourly?
Thanks for the advice,
John

Does the Time Machine App. have settings so I can program it to back up when I want it to?
Just on or off.
Does it have a manual option?
If you keep it off you can turn it back on and initiate a +Backup Now+ command.
There is a non-Apple editor:

Safari 5.1.9 and Java 6 are the latest versions available for OS X 10.6.8. To upgrade any further you would need to upgrade to Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.4) through the Mac App Store.

Time Machine backup very slow on WD My Book For Mac external HD

I have been using a Western Digital 1 TB external HD (My Book For Mac) to backup my data today for the first time, using their SmartWare software. Everything went smoothly, I backed up 91 GB of data in 2-3 hours.
At the same time, I have also Time Machine activated, which started backing up my files a while ago, but it is crawling at 8 MB per minute. A quick calculation tells me it will take 180 hours to back up 90 GB (?).
I have 2 questions:
1. Are SmartWare and TimeMachine supposed to be run exclusive of each other?
2. If I just ran TimeMachine, why is it so slow? I use a USB 2.0 connection that worked fine for the My Book's own software.
Thanks for your help!

You should first repartition and format the drive. Most likely it is setup for use on Windows. Try this:
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. If you need to reformat your startup volume, then you must 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 or 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.
Do not use the WD software. If it's you wish to create a bootable backup of your drive as well as keep a TM backup, then you should create two partitions on the drive. One for your non-TM backup and one for TM. For the bootable backup use third-party software such as SuperDuper!, Carbon Copy Cloner, or SilverKeeper - Download at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Note that many WD drive systems cannot be used for bootable backups. You can find information related to this at the WD web site.

Time Machine on different machines

Hi
My recent attempted upgrade of a Snow Leopard Macbook Pro to Mavericks failed and in order to keep working I restored a backup of the machine to a brand new (Macericks) Mac Air, and then unmounted the Time Machine drive from the new Air machine. All good so far (apart from the pain of the Mavericks attempted upgrade).
Next, after eventually finding Snow Leopard install disk, I restored the original Macbook Pro from the same Time Machine backup.
I'm about to try and upgrade this machine (the original Pro) to Mavericks again, I suspect it will work this time as there's no Boot Camp drive, which was there before.
Here's my question - if it does work, can I back up the Mac Air to the Time Machine drive and then pull those changes back into the Macbook Pro? How would I do that?
Many thanks for any help!
Regards
EB

In case it helps anyone else, this is what happened (executive summary: back up to time machine before attempting to upgrade, have your snow leopard/equivalent disk handy and be ready for problems if you have a bootcamp partition I think).
1. My Macbook Pro (MBP) machine was running Snow Leopard. I had installed a BootCamp partition for running windows on.
2. I backed up MBP to Time Machine
3. I downloaded Mavericks and attempted to upgrade
4. The installer told me it could not install on my main partition as I was running Time Machine there
5. I googled that error and found many others had had the same thing. I removed the BootCamp partition using Boot Camp Assistant. There was also a Time Machine related directory on the main partition which I deleted , I'm afraid my log of exactly the name got wiped in the ensuing mess.
6. I tried to upgrade again
7. The upgrade failed, again I don't now have the exact error message but it was no longer Time Machine related. On reboot the MBP again went straight into the attempted Mavericks install, there was no way to boot back into Snow Leopard as was.
8. I realized I needed my Snow Leopard disc and started looking for it.
9. I visit the Mac Store in central London. I buy a new Mac Air (MA) as the assistant tells me I can return it within two weeks.
10. On starting the MA I am asked if I want to load from Time Machine. I do this and within 30 mins the MA looks exactly like my MBP did. I work for the following week on MA.
11. Three or four days later. I find the Snow Leopard disk.
12. I insert the disk into MBP and boot while holding down the C key. Some minutes later the machine starts again in Snow Leopard. I restore from Time Machine. My old MBP is back. Eureka.
13. I download Mavericks. Again. This time the install runs fine.
14. I try and run Migration Assistant to copy my week's work from MA to MBP...
15. MA doesn't have an Ethernet port and I don't feel like going to the MacStore again to buy the USB ethernet adapter so I start Migration Assistant over Wifi
16. Migration Assistant tells me it will take 24 hours or so. It is 9am. I let it run.
17. That evening I come back in and Migration Assistant says it will take about three hours to complete.
18. The following morning Migration Assistant says it will take 56 minutes to complete.
19. That evening Migration Assistant still says it will take 56 minutes to complete. It's is still alive because if I unplug wifi it says it needs to reconnect, but it doesn't seem to make any progress past the 56 minutes (it does reconnect when wifi is re-enabled).
20. I kill Migration Assistant and copy my work over manually.
After all that a couple of unimportant progams no longer work under Mavericks. My Epson scanner no longer works and apparently drivers are not available yet. Oh yes and the old Snow Leopard Expose desktops are gone and replaced by a more complicated and less intuitive 'Mission Control' which I don't like.
Oh yes, and most importantly:
21. I return MA and am refunded my £1575.
I think this'll be my last mac and ubuntu next time.

Time machine slow

Though the upgrade is very nice, the time machine backup seems extremely slow. It has been running now for over 48 hours and only 66/86 GB has been backed up. I am wondering if this might be a function of the wire (from the hard drive to the MacBook Pro) I am using: I am using the USB 2.0 port instead of the firewire 800 port. Might that have made a difference? And, I usually bring my laptop from work to home--its been sitting at work until the backup is finished. Would all be for naught if I disconnected to bring the computer home and then reconnected once I returned to work?

To add to the Slow Time Machine discussion:
I have a dual quad-core and three internal 750GB drives. I'm using the second drive as my Time Machine drive.
It took several hours to do the initial backup (as I expected) and it was about 93GB. I installed Leopard this past Thursday. I'm EST and it is just after 10am EST, but looking in Time Machine, these are what Time Machine shows as being available to me:
Today (now)
Today at 6:00 AM
Today at 12:11 AM
Yesterday at 8:07 PM
Yesterday at 3:18 PM
Yesterday at 9:35 AM
So much for hourly backups. And I know it isn't just that there were no changes made because the current Time Machine backup has been running since 7:35am (about 2-1/2 hours so far). Hard to do hourly backups when each backup takes about 5 hours. I'd hate to see this thing when I'm actually here and doing stuff.
What's the deal with it being so slow? I wasn't doing anything over the weekend (it is my work desktop) and I'm using an Apple-shipped internal 750GB hard drive.
"backupd" cpu usage varies, as expected, but Finder is using between 25% and 80% cpu at any given time. And I'm not doing anything except running iostat in a terminal window. (I'm typing this on a 10.4.10 MBP.)
I did "sudo ls -R <diskname> | wc -l" on my main OSX disk in the most recent completed Time Machine backup directory and it counted 1845424 lines. I have a particular gmail account being IMAP accessed via mail.app (fedora mailing list) and, since that is all I use that gmail account for, all of the email is in one label which corresponds to one folder at the IMAP layer. There's a pretty good amount of traffic on that list and currently I have just under 100,000 emails in that folder. Because there are new emails (and thus new files) in that IMAP folder on my Mac, TM must hard-link each individual pre-existing email file plus add the new ones. So, each time TM runs, it must hard-link almost 100 thousand files in that one directory alone.
It doesn't seem that TM is meant to handle high loads or high volumes of data like this, at least on the current HFS+. It is possible that the ZFS would handle it better but that's currently not an option.
Some may respond that I either shouldn't connect my mail.app to a gmail account set up as such, or that I shouldn't expect TM to handle something like this. But this is exactly the kind of setup that TM should be able to handle.
In the meantime, it looks like TM is going to be slow. (oh, look; it is about 10:38am and TM is now saying "finishing backup" after running for 3 hours. and I "quit" mail.app to give it a break.)

Time Machine Permissions Changed Problem

Greetings-
I'm experiencing problems restoring to built-from-scratch Lion OS installation on a new disk. Before starting the process I ensured everything was backed-up everything using Time Machine, which was backing-up regularly, then did a fresh install on a new disk drive in my machine. I began restoring files (not users) from Time Machine, which began okay, but when I went to restore some folders that were under Pictures on the orginal disk, I got the failure error message that I've seen posted about not having permission to write those files back to my new disk. I've used the same username and also checked that my UID was as before (501).
I read a few posting, and tried to change the permissions on the Time Machine external backup disk to my current user, and after modifying that backup disk, I discovered that my Time Machine backups only go back in time to when I changed the disk permissions! So now even if I look down through the Time Machine volume directory structure, the orginal folders are missing. Time machine made at least one backup, but now I need advice and trying to recover those old directories and backups.
Any advice is appreciated. I've tried some recovery software, but loosing the old structure makes life fairly difficult and heartbreaking. Thanks!

Two weeks after upgrading my system to Lion and transferring to a new hard drive -- I could find the files I wanted to restore from the day before on my external-drive Time Machine but couldn't restore because I didn't have "access to the GlobalNav.lbi."
I did not solve the problem, but while trying various things with Apple tech I stumbled onto the fact that I could access the Time Machine from my partition, on which I have 10.6.8.
Tech was at a loss because my 10.7 Recovery Drive is missing. I'm making a Lion install USB stick (from MacWorld article instructions) and will try to reinstall the system and Recovery Drive. I believe my Recovery Drive was damaged before moving my system to the new hard drive, perhaps by the hard drive that is being replaced by the manufacturer.

Time Machine causing slow system

I have been experiencing a problem since starting Time Machine. The system becomes very slow to come out of sleep mode (20-30 seconds). Every application becomes slow, but the slowest of these seems are the applications that have anything to do with the drives (mounting DVD, system preferences, Time Machine, Activity Monitor, Disk Utility, Finder).
I have tried connecting the external drive (Maxtor OneTouch 4 Plus 500GB) via both Firewire 400 and USB, but neither connection method solves the problem. I have used Disk Utility to verify both drives, repair both drives and repair permissions of both drives, but nothing has helped.
The slow response can be corrected by restarting the system, but the problem comes back and gets progressively worse the longer that the Time Machine is allowed to run.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Let it run, is what I have to say. Time Machine works well with some external hard drives, and poorly with others. I suggest either getting a new external hard drive (which I personally am too cheap to do), or just do time machine back ups at night when I'm asleep. It would save the frustration of slow back up time and still get the job done. Also, you might want to check your time machine preferences. There could be some settings that you could change to help out.
