Time machine backup preparing is stuck!

Time machine backup preparing is extremely slow if working at all? Could it have something to do with me having just replaced my hdd with an ssd? I restored my time machine backup to the ssd with no problems (didn't seem to be that slow). I also have some files which I manually move to the external hard drive instead of using time machine and they were very quickly transferred. I did an smc reset. I did a full indexing of spotlight. Nothing seems to work. Please help!

Hi there corneliusgdahling,
are you using an Apple Time Capsule or just an external drive for backup? Have you tried removing deactivating Time Machine on System Preferences and re-enabling it?
Sorry for bad English

  • Time Machine backup file is stuck in my trash, taking forever to empty.

    I understand I did this wrong, should have gone to the gear icon in TM to delete. Threw it in the trash and started to empty it. Let it run overnight and it's still only a fraction done. Tried to put it back in the TM drive to delete it properly, but it's now stuck in my trash. How do I get rid of it??

    As Thomas says, your best bet is to erase the drive; that will take a few seconds at most.
    Or, you could try to force-empty the trash folder on the drive:
    Open the Terminal app (in your Applications/Utilities folder). Be *very careful* with this app. It's a direct link into UNIX, the underpinnings of OSX, but without the protections of OSX.
    In Terminal, the prompt looks like this: user-xxxxxx:~ <your name>$
    (where <your name> is your short user name). It's followed by a non-blinking block cursor (unless it's been changed via Terminal > Preferences).
    Type the following exactly as shown, placing the name of your Time Machine partition between the quotes, and be sure to place spaces where shown:
    cd /Volumes/"Time Machine Backups"/
    and press Return. The prompt should then change to include the name of your Time Machine drive. Then copy or type:
    sudo rm -rf .Trashes
    and press Return. It should then ask for your Admin password (which won't be displayed). Press Return.
    If there were many items involved, this may take quite a long time. Unless there are problems, once the deletion is complete, you'll see another prompt (there's no completion message).

  • Time Machine backup problem. Stuck indexing 101. Any suggestions?

    Hi
    I am having trouble with my Time Machine backup and would be grateful for your help.
    I have downloaded the widget and copied the script below.
    Time Machine has been operating without issue since bought, around a year ago.
    The last backup was 18th May. Nothing comes to mind that may have triggered a change on that date.
    I placed the "My Book" backup volume in the private folder for Spotlight.
    The indexing process has been running without interruption for over 24 hours.
    The backup drive is connected via USB
    I have changed the USB port to ensure the connection is sound, which it appears to be
    Starting standard backup
    Backing up to: /Volumes/My Book/Backups.backupdb
    Event store UUIDs don't match for volume: Mac HD

  • Time Machine Backup Stuck on Preparing Backup for 12 hours

    Hello,
    I have a 2011 iMac and am running OS X 10.7.2.  Up until a few days ago, my Time Machine backups (to a USB 2.0 external hard drive) were running fine.  Now, when Time Machine tries to back up, all it does is display the progress bar with the words "Preparing backup..." below.  This message will remain indefinitely (I've let Time Machine run for as long as 12 hours and nothing changes).
    I have done a fair amount of searching online regarding this problem and have tried the steps in Pondini's troubleshooting list ( http://pondini.org/TM/D1.html ):
    1.  I first tried downloading and running the Time Machine buddy widget.  I installed it but the widget was just blank.  So, I went into Console and saved one my logs instead.  My log consisted of a huge string of similar entries.  Three of these entries are shown below:
    1/28/12 12:12:53.629 PM          com.apple.backupd          Error (256): fetching properties: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=256 "The file “yprime.h” couldn’t be opened."

    1/28/12 12:13:20.758 PM          com.apple.backupd          Error (256): fetching properties: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=256 "The file “yprime.mexmaci64” couldn’t be opened."

Not a directory"}
    2.  I then tried performing a "full reset" of Time Machine, as explained on Pondini's page.  This didn't fix my problem.
    3.  Finally, I used Disk Utility and clicked "Repair" for my external hard drive --no problems were found.  I also selected my internal hard drive (my main drive with OS X on it) and clicked "Verify"; no problems were found.
    Any ideas what might be going on?  Note that I had emptied about 70 GB of files from my trash and deleted some other movies from my hard drive soon before these problems cropped up.
    Thank you very much,
    Jason

    This issue has been reported a few times, and it's clearly a bug in Time Machine, but I'm not sure what triggers it. TM creates multi-linked directories, and it seems that these links sometimes get broken.
    The first thing you should do is a start a new backup set on another drive. You should do that anyway, because one backup isn't enough, even if you're not having problems with it.
    Was the MATLAB application one of the items you had deleted from the source volume? If so, and if you're sure you'll never want to restore it from a backup, I suggest you delete it from the TM repository by entering TM, selecting it in a snapshot, and then choosing "Delete All Backups of..." from the action menu (gear icon.) You may have to do the same with other items that are giving the same error.

  • 10.5.5 Update - Time Machine Backup Stuck "Preparing" (How do I fix?)

    I gave up on it with 10.5.4. Thought I would try since Apple fixed...it's still not working.
    Background
    1. This is my first backup. I've never been able to do a complete backup.
    2. I have my laptop plugged in via ethernet to the TC.
    3. I'm backing up about 90 gigs.
    4. The firmware on my TC is 7.3.2.
    5. Read/write access to the TC is working fine. I can access folders, create folders, copy files, delete files when accessing through finder.
    Not sure what other info I can provide.
    Please help. Thanks!

    *Unmount the Backup Disk Image* #
    It seems that one of the keys to successful Time Machine backups is a successful eject/unmount of the hard disk following the PREVIOUS backup. If the Console logs indicate that the previous, though successful, backup ended with something like:
    Attempt to eject disk image failed with status: -47, dissenting pid: 0
    Then the very next backup is likely to fail with “Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while creating the backup directory.”
    A failed eject/unmount event usually means that your backup disk image is still visible on your desktop. If it is still there then unmount the backup disk image by either clicking the little Eject icon to the right of the disk image in the Finders’ Sidebar, or Ctrl-Clicking the drive icon on the desktop and selecting “Eject” from the contextual menu. Now try backing up again.
    On the other hand, if after seeing this error message your backup disk image does NOT appear on the desktop, it doesn’t mean that this wasn’t the reason. You see, it is very likely that the current failed attempt to backup DID successfully eject/unmount the disk. In this case another attempt to backup will likely succeed.
    *Excluding Primary Drive?*
    Open the Time Machine preferences. Click "Options". Is your primary HD listed as one of the items to EXCLUDE from backup. If it is, remove it from the list and try again.
    Another poster observed: “Had this myself but it was because for some strange reason my startup disk (the one I wanted to backup) was included in the 'don’t backup these items' list!”
    Let us know if any of the suggestions above helped.

  • Time Machine Backup Stuck in a Loop?

    Since upgrading to ML I've noticed that my Time Machine backup icon seems to be in constant motion.  I've also noticed that it never seems to be backing up as it's been stuck at "427kb of 479mb" for the past hour.  I'm backing up to a Time Capsule and can access the time capsule just fine.

    After installing the new hard drive in my macbook, I once again booted up from the install disc and told it to restore my hard drive using my last time machine backup (which was created one day before the initial crash). Once again, the computer got stuck on the grey startup screen mentioned above.
    Two possible causes:
    You used a Leopard install disk, instead of a +Snow Leopard+ one. All you needed to do was install Snow Leopard over it; but since you've now done other things, your best bet is to just do it over, using a Snow Leopard disc.
    Whatever was going wrong with your internal HD damaged some things on your system, and that damage was backed-up, so is restored along with everything else. In that case, do it over, but select an earlier backup.

  • HT1338 Error preparing Time Machine backup disc- size error usually not being multiples of 512, encryption

    Trying to encrypt Time Machine backup disc getting message  - Error preparing Time Machine backup disc- size error usually not being multiples of 512, encryption.

    I got the same problem.
    But I think it cannot be related to not being a multiple of 512.
    As when I devide the number of bytes 3.000.592.982.016 by 512 is equals 5860533168.
    3.000.592.982.016 / 512 = 5860533168.
    So what could be the real problem?
    With kind Regards

  • Initial Time Machine Backup Stuck on "Indexing Backup"

    I have Mac Mini running 10.7.2.  I just got an external hard drive and am trying to run an initial back up using Time Machine.  I am running my computer in Safe Mode as it won't start in regular mode.  I formatted the HD and began to run Time Machine back up.  HD is connected via USB 2.0 wire.
    It has now been 12 hours and is still on Indexing Backup...  Is this normal for initial back up?  I know it takes a long time for initial but this doesn't seem right.What do I do to correct if it isn't correct?  Should I stop and try again?

    Thank you very much.  With your info I gave up on the back up and ran Disk and Permission Repair for the 3rd or 4th time and crossed my fingers and restarted my machine and it WORKED!  I ran time Machine back up and when I woke up this morning it was all done!  Yeahhhh!
    I wasn't sure what was causing it not to start in regular mode and as I'm not too much of a techie I was scared that I was teetetering on the brink of losing everything.  The machine would run so I didn't think it was a hard drive issue, but not knowing for sure I was concerned and after losing everythign once before years ago, I was worried. I have it backed up on line but wanted a 2nd (local) version that wouldn't entail tying up bandwidth for days.  In the end it worked out!
    But the short answer is, Time Machine Backup does NOT work in Safe Mode...

  • Restoring time machine backup stuck at end

    Hello!
    I recently suffered a random filesystem failure and had to reinstall the OS. I was running 10.7, in fact, I turned on my MBP to install 10.7.1.
    After a lengthy download, the installer prompted me to restore from a Time Machine backup, which I'm keeping since my last hardware HD failure. I chose to restore, and the installer detected my Time Capsule, loaded the backup, and started restoring.
    I left it overnight and, come the following morning, the restore hadn't finished yet. Again, I left it while I was at work, and came back 8 hours later to find the screen in the exact same way I left it in the morning.
    After some tests trying to restore the backup (including a failed back-to-Snow Leopard attempted recovery, couldn't connect to my TC), I figured I would reinstall Lion from scratch and use Console.app to check the progress using the system log when restoring using Migration Assistant.
    My first surprise was when I tried to run Migration Assistant using the root user, which made Migration Assistant crash, so I had to create a second administrator user in order to restore my original administrator account.
    After leaving it run its course, I started noticing that the Migration Assistant was trying to restart opendirectoryd, and that it was failing to start, citing error 71 "profile could not be found" (or opened, instead of found, I really don't remember and don't have the log here with me).
    I then went into the terminal to check if the restored data was on disk, which it was, so, after a couple of attempts of launchd to restart opendirectoryd, I pulled the plug and shut the machine down cold (no shutdown process, just held the power button).
    When the computer started up again (I have verbose boot mode on), it stalled at macx_swapon (again, or something like that, I don't remember), and didn't move in the whole hour and a half I let it sit there.
    I tried booting single user mode, but the only thing I got to do was check if the restored data was there (which it was), and try to create my user (which I couldn't).
    I've had success restoring backups from that Time Capsule but for another Mac.
    Is there any way I can restore my computer back to the exact state of the Time Machine backup? FWIW, the TM backup is a data-only backup (i.e. doesn't have the OS with it), so a disk clone is not an option.
    I really would like to avoid going the "fake manual restore" option of creating the same user, moving the files manually and so on, it's a PITA
    Thanks in advance,
    Nico

    Sorry, can'thelp. But:
    I trust  TM only for rescuing individual files. I tried a full restoration of my Lion system, as a test, and everything was restored and seemed OK except half my Mail messages were missing. A few months ago, on OS 10.5.8, TM suddenly told me that it had deleted some files. The files deleted were all from Jan. 2010 to four weeks before! I know that it does this if the TM disc is getting full, but I had not created any large files in the preceding few hours. Also, the TM disc had loads of space left, yet when the message came, TM's GetInfo showed the disc nearly full!. I had to erase the disc and start again.
    I don't find TM reliable. I make my backups in the form of bootable clones, scheduled every day in Carbon Copy Cloner.

  • System Preferences stuck after Yosemite upgrade- advice on reverting to Maverick from Time Machine backup?

    I just upgraded to Yosemite from Maverick overnight on my mid 2012 MacBook air via app store.  On first boot up this morning, I did NOT choose to encrypt my hard drive or use iCloud during set-up. I was proceeding thru the set-up steps, then got an unresponsive iCloud system preferences window, with a small drop down window to set up an apple id, asking for birthday, security questions, etc.  I have an apple id, and drop down is too small to reveal security questions or allow me to respond.  Quit didn't work, and I started trolling this support site to find out what to do.  I finally managed to force quit it just now. I am NOT a power user, I use my computer for email, photo organization, internet surfing, and some docs and spreadsheets. (I retired and switched to MAC to avoid all the microsoft BS, and haven't looked back. :-)
    After reading all the posts here of people having trouble with yosemite on my critical uses, (email, etc) and the complicated answers to fix things, I am really out of my league. My goal now is to get to where I was last night before the upgrade, and wait until Apple fixes the many issues people are discovering before trying Yosemite again.  I did do a complete Time Machine backup prior to the upgrade.  My questions:
    1.  What issues, if any, are people having after reverting back to Mavericks after a Time Machine recovery?
    2.  Are there any special instructions to do this restore that are not in the standard restore instructions? Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support
    I am a bit concerned to move forward, so any advice or re-assurance will enable me to take the next step.  I am gonna hang out and see what I hear before I take the plunge to time machine restore!

    Yes, Mavericks has smashed people's old backups.. start a new backup in a different location.. or archive off the old backup from the TC onto a USB drive.. wipe the drive and start again. You can then access the backups on the USB any time you want.. plug it into the computer and use TM to look at the files.
    Spend a bit of time reading how TM works.
    And what you can do with it.
    http://pondini.org/TM/Home.html
    Even if you just skim through FAQ.. check out how to mount TM backups from another mac..(effectively your old Mountain Lion install is another mac).

  • Time Machine Backups are stuck in my trash...

    OK, benefit of hindsight. NEVER try to delete Time Machine backups by putting them in your trash. That aside... I did that. So... How the **** do I get them out?
    - without having to format the drive Time Machine is on... (this is full of other files)
    - I don't mind deleting all my backups...
    - Have tried emptying trash in every conceivable way inc. using Clean My Mac
    Somebody? Anybody?

    Try restarting and then emptying.
    Try holding down the option button while trying to delete the Trash. If that doesn’t work, here is some more information.

    You also might want to un-install CleanMyMac. Those type of programs can ruin your system by deleting necessary files.

  • How do I restore a Time Machine backup to a new hard drive in an iMac 5.1?

    Hi all,
    I recently had a hard drive failure in my mid-2006 iMac 5.1 and have now installed a new drive.  The iMac was previously running an up-to-date version of OSX 10.7 - Lion.  However I've struggled to restore the machine from its Time Machine backup, trying using both Setup Assistant which has never allowed me to overwrite my startup files with the restore, and several attempts using Migration Assistant and following Pondini's Migration Problems tutorial, which worked partially, but has left me with a series of files/folders, many of which have Permissions problems.
    The most recent attempt, using Migration Assistant is giving me a new error message:
    You can't transfer from your other Mac to this one because your other Mac uses a newer version of Mac OS X.  You must upgrade this Mac before you can transfer from your other Mac.
    I'm getting it that the Time Machine data is more current (in terms of OSX) than my desktop machine - which I have prepared using my Snow Leopard start-up disc (but wonder why this is the first time that I'm getting told this on attempting to restore).  But how do I get my iMac to a state whereby I can restore from the Time Machine?
    I can't upgrade the Mac using Software Update as this will only get me to OSX 10.6.8 (which is where I currently am, although some applications don't seem to want to work in this state - App Store, Safari on occasion); I can't download OSX 10.7 from the App Store as it is no longer there, and I can't install OSX 10.8 as my iMac is not compatible with this release.  I seem to be stuck in an infinite loop from which I don't seem to be able to get out of.
    Can anyone help at all?
    Many thanks in advance for any contributions & apologies if I've omitted any crucial information that might be needed to help me out.
    Paul

    Thanks den.thed,
    Apologies for not replying back sooner - I've been away.
    Although your suggestion helped me in getting a copy of Lion that I could use, it didn't help with the restore from Time Capsule issue.  I had to download the Lion app onto my MacBook & then transfer it across but it wouldn't let me upgrade my OS for some reason, so I ended up wiping the iMac completely and restoring via my Snow Leopard install disk.  For some reason, this time, it let me have the option of using Setup Assistant to access the Time Capsule for a complete restore.
    Now, over a week later, with various bits of tweaking and reinstalling some apps that didn't seem to come across, I have my system back.
    Thanks for the help anyway.
    Cheers,
    Paul
