Time Machine backup does not work after 10.7.2 update

Hi,
after updating to 10.7.2 time machine does not perform any backups on my time capsule (error-1). What can I do? Please help. Thanks.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
 Cheers, Tom

Photos gone and Time Machine Backup does not work.

I did a rebuild of my thumbnails at iPhoto's suggestion, then left the room because it took too long. When I came back all the photos and albums etc were gone, not exclamation points but missing.
I thought iPhoto could not find the library so I tried the option + open and chose the proper library. Still opened to an empty library. According to the library file it was 102 GB in size but oddly had no information. I did not panic because I back up ALL the time. When I tried the TimeMachine backup (each of them back to March) they also said over 100GB but when I started to transfer them it totaled only 1019 MB and now I have exclamation points and no photos. So I need help getting back the photos. TimeMachine is the ONLY backup I have. Is this an iPhoto problem or a problem with TM? In older versions of iPhoto there was a folder of folders that had all my pictures by roll number did that change in this version, because I can't find that either? FYI all photos, and library, are (were) on an external drive.
Not gonna lie I am in a bit of a panic at this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I can clarify anything that does not make sense, I tried to keep the explanation as short as possible so people would read it!
Thanks in advance,
FatherTime

Do you still have your original library that started this problem? If so use Time Machine to bring forward the last backup before the problem happened. Do not replace the current library with the backup but select the option to keep both.
Open the recovered library and drag out the Library6.iPhoto file to the desktop and move the rest of the recovered library to the trash. Open your original library and replace the Library6.iPhoto with the file from the recovered library. See if iPhoto will open and recognize your photos now.
If you had any imports between the time of the last backup and your current library they will not be recognized in the library but will be inside the library non the less. You can find their event folder in the Originals folder, move it to the desktop to reimport.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Time Machine Backup does not fit on HDD

Hi,
I have a very odd problem. I do have a 750GB hdd in my macbook pro. My external time machine backup drive is 1TB. After haveing some issues with my system I had to reinstall OSX. Now I want to recover my system from the external drive. When I run through the recovery process formatting the 750GB drive the drive utiliity tool tells my that I have 748GB available. When I get to to the point to chose the target for my recovery partition of the 748GB only 697GB are left. Now, of course) the recovery tool tells that there is not enough space to recovery the system from the external drive.
My old system was quite full. I only had 2 GB free space left. So the size of the time machine backup should be close to the 750GB. But 697GB is just not enough. What happened to the 50GB between formatting the drive and wanting to recover from the external HDD?
Thanks for your help.

Do you mean Disk Utility? If so, that's not how you restore Time Machine backups.
After erasing the HD, quit Disk Utility and select the Restore From Time Machine Backup option.
See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #14 for the gory details.

Time machine backup is not working

I have tried three different times to restore my computer from a time machine backup. Each time it gets stuck on the Apple logo screen once it it is done restoring the information. Not sure what to do.. every time I restart it by holding the power button it gets stuck on the same screen.

Read all the info about restore in Pondini.. I am not sure what you are looking at but he goes through the different methods here.
http://pondini.org/TM/Home.html
See info for setup assistant and migration assistant.
More particular info from inside the OS.
http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
Q14-17
The backup could be corrupt.. and it can take a long time to work over wireless .. it is really important to use fastest possible connection.. if you are talking Time Capsule that is ethernet.. if you are talking external drive that is whatever is the best external drive system you have available.
Pondini also has info on how to verify the backup is working and to fix minor issues.
See A5 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Let me add.. TM is great when it works .. and it is a dog when it fails.. Of late.. it fails alot. Yosemite being the worst possible. If you are trying to restore a computer having loaded Yosemite it is probably no longer possible to recover back to what you were running.

Time Machine password does not work.

Hi all,
I have just bought a 2TB WD mybook external hard drive and now need to set time machine to use it as my backup. This is the first time I have used time machine and it will not accept my password. PUBLIC doesn't work either.
Is there a way I can reset or recover my time machine password?

Time Machine doesn't have a password.
That must be a password on the external HD. If you haven't put anything on it yet, your best bet is to erase and reformat it, per #5 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.

Time Machine backups have not worked since upgrade to Lion OS X

I get the following error message when trying to use Time Machine - "The backup was not performed because an error occurred whilecopying files to the backup disk. The problem may be temporary. Try again later to back up. Ifthe problem persists, use Disk Utility to repair your backup disk."

Not one of Apple's better messages.
It's having a problem with a particular file, but there's no hint of that.
See #C3 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.

TS1760 Time machine backup does not appear Time Capsule

I have backed up my imac on my Time Capsule using Time Machine. Now, I want to restore this backup on my Macbook so that both computers are the same.
However, when I attach the Time Capsule to the Macbook, I do not see the backup that I just made from the imac. There is nothing to restore.
What to do?

You have to start with the Mac OS X DVD that came with your computer to restore your backup

Time machine backup does not include everything

My external hard drive kept dismounting so I bought a new one. when I checked on the backup, I could not find anything from the desktop or Iphoto or Itunes. How do I get the time machine to back up everything?

Theresa,
I'm glad Eric was able to help you out. If you need TM assistance in the future I'd recommend bookmarking:

Time Machine backup disk not mounting after Snow Leopard upgrade

i recently upgraded from latest version of Leopard to Snow Leopard via retail disk 10.6.3 & then updated combo 10.6.5. Now the TM backup disc will not mount.

Exactly what happens? Do you get a message? If so, what?
Try a "full reset" of Time Machine, per #A4 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
If that doesn't help, the backups may be corrupted. Repair them, per #A5 in Troubleshooting.

My time machine backup does not complete

The error message is
Time Machine couldn't complete the backup to "<our server name>"
The backup disk image "Volumes/Backup/<MyComputerName mini.sparsebundle" is already in use.
Latest successful backup: January 17, 2014
Please help.

On your Server (assuming it's OS X Server), turn off the Time Machine Service then turn it back on. This is what I have done in the past when this happens.

Audio jack does not work after 10.9.1 update

Hi folks --
I have had an issue for a while now that maybe some of you have seen.
I have a 2011 iMac 27, and upgraded to Mavericks months ago, no issues. For the holidays I bought an AppeTV 3rd gen for the wife, and after setting it up on the network, I can no longer play audio throught the audio out jack on the iMac to powered speakers.
Now, the issue is, I cannot tell if it stopped working before the AppleTV got added to the mix, or after a Mavericks update. It has been about 3 months...
The machine is out of warranty, and I have the sneaking suspicion that the audio jack on the motherboard is to blame... but not certian. Has anybody had that issue or seen it be an issue? I consider myself pretty up to date on the Mac support sites like Macintouch and iFixtit, but have not seen anything regrading this issue on this model.
I have done a deep clean with Onyx, zapped the PRAM, and done a few restarts. No joy.
Anyone have any wisdom to impart?
Thanks in advance
Michael

Does the disk also get ejected when you are running Leopard, or only when using it for booting?
Have you looked at it physically for scratches or that dirty film some DVDs had?

Ipad does not work after IOS 7.2 update

After update to IOS 7.2 for my latest generation Ipad (with retina display) the screen repeatedly changes betwen the regular view of my home screen with ipad app icons over to the Apple update screen (black and white screen with the Apple logo in the middle. This occurs back and forth every few seconds. No update is actually taking place and under Genera it says my software is up to date.

Time Machine does not work after installing mavericks

After I installed maverick on my imac, my time machine backups don't work anymore!!!!
I have a normal portable HDD attached to my Imac with time capsule backup from before mavericks was installed.
I also has a Buffalo NAS as a second Time Machine Backup.
TIme capsule does not recognise my Buffalo NAS and tells me that it is not available. It has previous backups from Mountain Lion for sure!
My portable HDD keeps saying "Preparing for backup" for eternity.
Please, APPLE, what is going on with mavericks? Regretted upgrading.
My backup is 31 days behind because of this! Unacceptable!
But what is strange is that I can connect to my portable HDD and Buffalo NAS as a drive. What I have been doing is to copy and paste the important stuff into the drives. But it really defeats the purpose of time machine, right?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Time Machine options are not working. I am unable to schedule automatic backups.

Time Machine options are not working. I am unable to schedule automatic backups. The On-Off button is grayed out. I can perform a backup manually.

Thanks for responding. I have an external disk with plenty of room. It is used only for backup of my computer. I get a backup by clicking on the Time Machine icon at the top of the page and select "Back Up Now." When I click on Time Machine Preferences, there is a box labeled "Options" which allows me to exclude items from backup and notify after old backups are deleted. There is no option to schedule a backup. The "OFF/ON" box is gray. For "Next Backup:" it says "Automatic backups off." I would like to turn it on.
