Time machine backup space after I open iPhoto

Hi, yesterday, after I had wrong delete some photo from my iphoto library, I have decided to restore entire iphoto library from Time machine backup.
I have select last backup and I select desktop destination folder for restored library. Then, i have delete original library and cut paste restore library from desktop.
I have backup all with time machine.
Now, when I open iphoto and close it without any changes, Time Machine backup always 450mb...
Is normal?? I have fixed permission and restore iphoto database.

If you're really making no changes at all, not even browsing, I wouldn't expect much to be backed-up.
I don't have a current version of iPhoto avaiable at the moment, so can't check.  But with a fairly small iPhoto '09 library (just under 1 GB), it backs-up just under 1 MB after just opening and quitting.  It's no doubt making some minor changes to lock and unlock things, perhaps keep track of when things were lasted opened, etc. A lot of it appears to be metadata.
That likely explains the database changing -- if anything changes in any kind of file, including a database file, the whole thing gets backed-up next time.
-> Thumbnails/Segments folder 181MB
The backup data regards only iPhoto.
Should I regenerate iPhoto Thumbnails?
Might be worth a try.
Stil, I wouldn't worry about this too much -- as Time Machine deletes all but the first backup of the day after 24 hours, the most space those backups will take is 400 MB/day.  And, after a month, they're further "thinned" to one per week.
Not really a lot in relation to a 32 GB iPhoto library.

  • Time Machine Backup fails after Restore

    Had my 500GB HD on my iMac fail. After being replaced by Apple, I performed a restore from 1TB time machine backup. After this was done, I set time machine back up to back up to this 1TB drive. I want it to append to the previous backups. However, the backup fails due to "backup is too large for the backup volume". It doesn't seem to want to append to previous backups but thinks this is an entirely new backup, which I guess is mostly true. I suspect this has to do with UUIDs of the new and old drives, but I'm not sure how to correct it (I'd prefer not to just wipe the backup disk and start over). I migrated backups before from one extenal HD to another but can't remember what I did... If anyone has steps to fix this, let me know em. Thanks.
    Here's the time machine log:

    yes, that's correct. TM will make a full backup after a full system restore on a new hard drive because the UUIDs of the new drive is different from the old one.
    you may try the following hack to get around it

    I have bought a new computer and backed up off time machine backup now I cannot open photoshop get error code 150 30 help appreciated.?

    Have you updated your iTunes on your computer? WIth a device running iOS7, you need iTunes 11.
    When you removed iTUnes, did you see something named 'apple mobile device support' or something like it? (The exact name varies from operating system to operating system). If you see that, uninstall it too. That's the drivers for your iPhone and they should self-install when you plug your device in.
    If all that is fine, have you checked your cable and USB port? a malfunctioning cable can keep you from syncing.

  • My time machine backup of address book and iphoto etc wont open

    So I'm about to do a bunch of stuff on my computer and want to make sure that my time machine backups are going to be able to be restored and that I can unpartition my bootcamp drive safely.

I really want to make sure that certain apps, such as address book, iphoto, and itunes have been backed up correctly and that they will be able to be restored. When I opened my time machine backup folder and clicked on those three apps, it gave me an error code.

  • Time machine backups inaccessible after reconfiguring OS X Server

    I'm having a Time Machine issue.
    I back up to a Mac Mini running Mac OS X Server 4 on Yosemite 10.10.1.  The Time Machine service is turned on and pointing to a volume directly connected to that Mini.  The machine backing up to the server is a MacBook Pro Retina, running Yosemite 10.10.1.
    Recently, the volume holding the backups got full.  I copied the "Shared Items" directory to a larger volume and changed the Time Machine service to use that volume.  Everything seemed to be fine.  At the time for the next scheduled backup, the laptop connected to the server, and backed up a reasonable amount of data.  Subsequent backups have also run without obvious problems.
    Then I wanted to revert to an earlier version of a document on my system.  With the document's containing folder open in the Finder, I chose "Enter Time Machine".  The TM interface opened, and I saw the usual stack of windows disappearing back into the past.  However, after a few seconds, the title bars on all but the most recent couple of those windows went blank, and I was unable to go back to to any backups created before the changes on the server.  The timeline on the right shows backups back to October 5, and nothing is dimmed, but clicking on those older dates does nothing.
    I tried this with several other folders, with the same results.
    I mounted the backup image manually on the server.  I was able to browse the stored backups on that image, and navigate to the same folders, which do contain the content that they should.
    So, it seems as if the backups are intact, but for some reason Time Machine can't navigate to those older backups.
    I tried re-selecting the backup volume in the System Preferences, and I got the dialog telling me that the backup volume already contained backups from this machine, and asking if I wanted to erase and start fresh, or use those backups. I chose to use the backups, and this triggered an immediate backup, which was successful and once again backed up a reasonable amount of data.  But, still the same problem with going back in time.
    I would prefer not to have to start a new backup set if possible.  Any help would be appreciated!  I browsed the various questions and problems on pondini.org but did not find anything that seemed directly applicable.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Quitting Dropbox and rebooting the computer did not solve the issue.
    However, I read on another thread here that there is a workaround, which is to enter the Time Machine view from the window of your hard disk, then navigate back in time, and then navigate to the folder that contains the items you want to restore.
    Time Machine not working with Yosemite
    I tried this, and it seems to work fine.  Folders that behave in the broken fashion I describe above (no ability to scroll back when entering Time Machine from that folder) are accessible by starting from the hard disk and navigating down.
    There are a lot of people reporting this problem in the other thread, so my guess is that this is an Apple bug in Time Machine that needs to be fixed.  In the meantime, at least I can restore most files I might need, except files in an invisible folder like ~/Library.
    Thank you for your help!

  • Second Time Machine backup wiped after Yosemite install

    Following on from my initial thread a few weeks ago (https://discussions.apple.com/activity?streamSource=connections&streamID=1989606) regarding the disappearance of my Time Machine backups from my iMac after installing Yosemite (7 people reporting a similar experience) and having noticed that the data seems to be 'hidden' on the backup drive, my partner upgraded her macbookpro and wow... lo and behold, the exact same damned 'glitch'.
    Having not connected the external to the laptop for a few weeks after upgrading (yeah, yeah, I know) the reminder said something like "Time Machine has not completed a backup since 5th January" so we attached the external only to be given the error that the external didn't have enough room to backup the data and that the last successful backup was sometime in September 2014.

    This is disappointing. Like seriously (insert swearword here) disappointing. No one has any idea what the glitch might be? Two different machines experience the exact same issue with Time Machine after upgrading is more than a coincidence in all my years of Apple fanboy-ism.
    I am annoyed. Just letting folks know that

  • Time Machine backups fail after initial drive connection, cannot eject drive

    I have a Macbook Pro 13" Retina Display, 8GB running OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 and have set Time Machine backups to a 1TB WD My Passport.  When I first connect the drive the backup will run fine, but subsequent backups always fail.  In addition I typically cannot eject the drive.  I've scoured online forums and have completely reformatted the drive, and have even deleted some backup settings files from the hard drive, none of these has resolved my issue.

  • Time machine backup space

    I'm making my first Time Machine backup of my PowerBook G4 since installing Leopard. There is 74.41 GB of data on my main hard drive (Mac OS Extended), but Time Machine says that it is taking 49.9 GB for the backup on my external backup drive. I understand that Time Machine doesn't compress files, so I'm wondering if it is normal that the first backup would take up less space than the original. Or is this an indication that I have Time Machine somehow incorrectly configured?
    Thanks for any thoughts!

    OK, so I figured out the backup space issue. Thanks for your thoughts on that.
    But, I am still getting mystery emails from the distant past (2005) appearing as unread messages in my very recent Mail Inbox Time Machine backups (i.e. from last night and earlier today). I can't remember if I did receive these messages in 2005 or if they have been sitting in virtual limbo since then, only now to appear now in my Time Machine backups (but not in my regular Inbox). Strange, no?

  • My 1st Time Machine backup...are my iphoto pictures really backed up?

    I just got done with my 1st ever Time Machine backup onto an external drive.  I looked at the files on the drive and it looks like everything is there.  When I click on iphoto library though I get this message: 
    The iPhoto library is a Time Machine backup, and so cannot be used as the main library. Reopen iPhoto with the Option key held down to choose another library.
    Are my pictures REALLY backed up?  Is there a way for me to know for sure?  The pictures are the whole reason for me to have a backup, since they are literally the most important and irreplacable thing on my Mac.

    Launch iPhoto.  Use the iPhoto File menu > Browse backups and wait for the backups to load.  When you are reassured, click the Cancel" button at the bottom left of your screen.

  • Time machine backup space too small

    After installing OSX Lion - I had Lion restore my files from the Time Machine. All went well. Except now that I want to keep this machine backed up - Time Machine is attempting to back it up in the 100 gigs or so space that is left rather than overwriting or adding to the old files. Do I have to reformat the drive and do another complete backup or is there away around the problem.
    Thank-you.
    Barb

    Reformat is necessary because the disk has changed and Time Machine doesn't know what to do about it, whether to trust it or not. So reformatting is necessary. The Disk Utility is located in the utilities folder. Thanks!!

  • Time Machine backups fail after initial backup in Yosemite

    After upgrading from Mavericks to Yosemite, I was able to run one backup to my trusty USB drive.  Subsequent backups all start with "Preparing backup", and will write roughly 900KB to disk (or so it says) and then fails.  I created a Time Machine-compatible network drive on my Drobo 5n, and again, the initial backup is successful, and subsequent ones fail.  This is concerning and infuriating.  I'm hoping someone out there has encountered this problem as well.
    Please note: this is regarding backups only.  I see a handful of discussions about not being able to perform restores in Yosemite, but that is not my issue.

    Same here.

    It wants to do a full backup. Fine... so why doesn't it just delete more of the old backups to do so? I don't want to wipe the backup drive and start over now, but that seems like the only way to go.

  • Time machine backup disappeared after upgrading OS from Lion to Mountain Lion.

    I made a full backup of my 2011 Macbook Pro to my network drive through Time Machine in order to upgrade to Mountain Lion. However, after the upgrade, the backup could not be found. As it went through the install, I opted to recover the backup afterwards as I have read that you can do that after the upgrade. But the migration assistant could not find a backup.
    So I looked in Finder at my external drive, and sure enough the backup is gone.
    Some extra info:
    So I don't know if this has affected anything important, I'm not that computer smart.
    Prior to this I've been trying to get Windows 7 to work on bootcamp (still not working). I needed the OS X install disc, but I didn't have the install disc(I had OS Lion installed) and I bought the laptop from someone at work, so I couldn't get the Lion iso pulled from the recovery to a flash drive (it required the previous owners password to his apple account). Therefore I purchased the Mountain Lion Upgrade (Lion being no longer available. I didn't really want mountain lion). So when I started the Mountain Lion install, I had the "brilliant" idea to install it on the flash drive I had intended to use in the first place. Well, I didn't think it was gonna start the upgrade immediately after that. Anyways, after I realised my mistake I redid the install, process was the same, chose the main HD, went well. This was where I opted out of the recover-from-backup option. At this point I tried to restore my backup through the migration assistant. It said there was not enough room on the hard drive. I then noticed that all the memory used up prior upgrading was still in use, but under the old main user. I didn't do much with it, and thinking that my backup had my back, I did a full clean install. Another mistake. After the clean install, the migration assistant said there was no backup. I looked in finder, it was gone.
    I didn't touch the hard drive thinking it is either hidden, or deleted but not written over yet and still could be recovered. I don't know how to explore these options, I can't find anything online about either. Or perhaps there are other options to consider?
    Please advise.

    It's early 2011.
    I have been able to purchase the upgrade under my username at the upgrade price. I didn't know that Lion stays under the previous owner's Apple account. I mean I got that when I tried putting the Lion Iso on a bootable drive (for the purpose of bootcamp) it said I needed the username and password of the Lion purchaser, but I went to get my own license then, but it was Mountain Lion at the upgrade price. I didn't think it had anything to do with my backup.
    So looking back, that seems like a warning Apple should have put out for people to be wary of. "Hey, don't buy a laptop from someone and then upgrade, you'll lose everything." That's a load of crap. I thought I had no worries as long as I had a backup. I've never needed a backup, then the one time I thought I was in good hands. Nope, I try to do something, and it takes everything from me. That was a lot of data worth of stuff. 550 Gigs! I was shocked and in complete disbelief the moment I realized what I had done.
    I just don't want to give this up.

  • HT3275 Continue using Time Machine backup history after switching disk from local to Airport Extreme?

    I have been using Time Machine on my iMac for backups for quite some time. The disk I've been using is a single disk connected via USB. Now that I got an AirPort Extreme base station, I wanted to switch the disk drive to the AirPort Extreme, but continue to use my existing backup history and not start a new one.
    When I did that, Time Machine complaint that the disk does not have enough space left to do the initial backup. Again, I don't want to start a new backup history but rather seamlessly append to and continue with my existing backup history that's already on the disk.
    Is this possible and how?
    Thanks,
    Torsten

    As the other poster says, that's usually unreliable and not supported by Apple. See:  Using Time Machine with an Airport Extreme Air Disk.
    When I did that, Time Machine complaint that the disk does not have enough space left to do the initial backup.
    That's because Time Machine stores backups differently when they're done over a network.  See the blue box in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #17 for an explanation.

  • Can't Access Time Machine Backup Files After Reinstall

    I just completed a clean reinstall of Mountain Lion. Obviously I've missed some important step(s). When I enter Time Machine, I can see that there are older back ups by the dates on the right hand side of the screen, but they are greyed out. I'm confident the files are there, the issue is being able to access the files.
    I've seen some notes about "reassociating Time Machine" with my "new" computer with some terminal commands, but I get lost with the instructions I've read and it sounds like if I do it wrong there is a pretty good chance I could really cause some damage. For the time being, I've turned off TM, but the dirve is still mounted and available.
    For some reason, I was able to access and resotre my Documents folder - I just can't get into all the folders/files. Prior to the reinstall, I did visually confirm that I could see and access all my backup files.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Can't restore Time Machine backup after iMAC (Lion) Refresh

    I recently did a refresh of my iMAC with OSX Lion. I have been using time capsule to back up my iMAC as well as my Mac Mini for the last 6 months with what I perceived to be no issues.
    When I got to the part in the MAC start up to restore from backup it couldn't seem to find the iMAC backup, only the Mac Mini backup so I skipped that part. I then tried to use Migration Assistant later and the same thing, I couldn't find it. I used finder to locate the Time Capsule and was able to find the backup, but when I double clicked on it said "Mac OS X can't repair the disk "Time Machine Backups". you can still open or copy files on the disk, but you can't save changes to the files on the disk. Back up the disk and reformat it as soon as you can".
    Even though it said that it open a new finder window and I was able to find the backups and I proceed to copy of the files over. All seemed well until I opened iPhoto and it wouldn't open (just hung). I did a library restore/repair by clicking Option + Command when opening and after it ran iPhoto opened. When I browsed around though some recent pics that I uploaded either weren't there or corrupted and all my faces were gone.
    I did a fresh install again and tried all over and the same thing happened. Any help on getting back my old backup? Seems to be corrupted or something, but I'm not sure.
    See previous post before this... I was told to post my problem here - as I originally posted on the iPhoto forum before I realized I had a time machine / capsule problem.

    Help would be appreciated.

    Hi there,
    I had a look through and I tried to do option A5 - which is repair or verify disk. I dragged the sparebundle for the mackup to disk utility and after trying to do a repair I got the message "disk utility stopped repairing "Time Machine backups".
    Does this mean that my backup is corrupted and useless for a restore with time machine?
    Yes. 
    And that also means copying via the Finder may not get everything.  Corrupted is corrupted.
    Assuming you copied from the most recent backup, you might want to try copying just the iPhoto Library from an earlier one -- that might not be damaged.  If you have room, put it somewhere else, like your desktop.  Or if you have an external HD, that would work.
