Time Machine erkennt keine Festplatten am Air Port

Obwohl im Support Text steht, dass: "Jede an Ihren Computer angeschlossene Festplatte, die zum Ablegen von Sicherungskopie verwendet werden kann, ist aufgelistet, darunter auch Ihre interne Festplatte und externe Festplatten. In Ihrem Netzwerk freigegebene Festplatten werden ebenfalls aufgeführt, einschließlich Festplatten, die mit einer AirPort Extreme Basisstation verbunden sind. Wenn Sie eine Festplatte partitioniert haben, werden die Partitionen aufgelistet."
erkennt Time Machine die Festplatte nicht.

Ist ein bekanntes Problem. Apple hat kurz vor der finalen Version von Leopard das Feature auf Netzwerk-Festplatten zu sichern entfernt. Im deutschen Text hat man anscheinend vergessen das zu entfernen. Es gibt angeblich einen Workaround, aber die meisten sagen er geht nicht (einmal Backup geht, aber restore geht nicht). Angeblich arbeitet Apple daran dieses Feature wieder einzubauen, aber genaueres ist nicht bekannt... leider.

I am connected to time capsule via wi-fi but air port says not connected and disk utility does not see it

I am connected to time capsule via wi-fi but air port says not connected and disk utility does not see it. I had it connected via ethernet and it still did not see it. Then i disconncectd it from ethernet and did the Wi-fi connection and am able to post this message but air port still does not see it.

Disk Utility will not "see" the Time Capsule, so no need to waste any more time on that issue.
but air port still does not see it.
Not sure what you mean by "air port" here.

Really Apple? OSX 10.8.5 disables built-in camera functionality with third party apps such as Skype and Gmail video chat. I do not have time machine on my 2013 MB Air. How can I get back to 10.8.4?

Really Apple?
With the release OSX 10.8.5 Apple has once again showed its true colors, and continued its efforts to create a closed Apple system, which eliminates third party vendors, unless, one can only assume... they pay.
Included in this OSX update is the disabling of the built-in camera to work with third party applications such as Skype and Gmail video chat. No surprise the camera works just fine with Apple apps such as Facetime and Photobooth.
The answer I got on my call to AppleCare to ask for assistance in reinstalling 10.8.4, so that I may Skype again, was we can not do that. You can not go back unless you have a time machine bkup.
Can anyone help me get back to to 10.8.4 on my 2013 MB Air?
I do not have a time machine bkup as this computer is not used to store important documents.
Thank you.

Don't panic. Skype simply needs to update its app.

Time capsule 1st generation - extension with air port extreme

My parents use a time capsule (1st generation) as wireless lan device. As they run a boarding house they wish to provide free internet access to all of their guests (in all rooms). Therefore I bought an air port extreme station to extend the network as this product now (finally) includes the option »guest network«.
The question is the following: *Should I keep the time capsule as basic device connected to the modem and use the air port extreme as extension or do you recommend to set it up vice versa?*
I checked the range of the time capsule: It can be used in already in the first floor but not in the second anymore.
I am really unsure how I should approach this topic and I hope more expirienced users can provide some help to this issue. Maybe you can also give me some security advice. In order to protect kids from misusing this new possiblity I was thinking of using opendns to block certain websites. Maybe there are also betters ways of doing this?

Need a bit more info.
Now this is what happens when I plug it in:
Plug it into power?? The main router?? Sorry I am unclear what you are plugging it into.
It sounds like you have not done the setup.
The TC should be in bridge and plugged into the current modem router you have.. and powered on full time.
If you cannot access it via the utility, I strongly suggest you buy the apple usb to ethernet dongle.. which helps air people no end.. or use any other computer that has a real ethernet port.
Otherwise set to factory and start over. (this will not do anything to what you already have on the disk).
Hold in reset and power on the TC.. wait about 10sec until the front led rapidly flashes. .then you can connect the computer.. and do the setup.. choose bridge in the Network section of the utility and update the TC.
Then you can plug it into the main router and access it and internet at the same time.. either by TC wireless or the main modem wireless.
Please note. .Gen1 TC is only going to last very little time.. it is already well past the average lifespan.. many died at 2years.. most gone by 4years.. plan on storing nothing important on it.

Time Machine Screwed up my Macbook Air!

I used time machine to transfer all my old Macbook to my Macbook Air and everytime I turn on my computer I get the Candy Spinning Wheel of Death....

Migration Assistant will transfer all applications and accounts. So your initial issue (not being able to find any files, music, etc) was because they weren't copied to the account you were logged into - a new account was created and the files transferred to it.
Migration Assitant doesn't overwrite the target computer's operating system but it will copy items into the sysem's library (into the folder called Library - not the folder called System) because some programs install Internet plugins, preferences, preference files, and application support files there. I suspect that's where the problem with the beachballs of death began.
Try restarting your computer and hold down the left shift key until the grey Apple appears. This is booting into Safe Mode. If the computer lets you log in and get to the Finder without the beachball taking over that suggests one solution. If you are still getting beachballs that suggests another.

Time Machine and the New Macbook Air

I am selling my iMac and have purchased a new Macbook Air. Since it does not have firewire or a DVD drive, does anyone know if I can ask Time Machine to restore the latest iMac backup directly to the MBA as a way of transferring my files to the new computer? Thanks.

Where are your backups? If they're on a USB drive, or a Time Capsule, you should be able to use +Setup Assistant+ on first boot. See [Setting up a new Mac from an old one or its backups|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/Setup.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Snow Leopard > Installation and Setup+ forum).

HT4927 How do I retrieve photos from Time Machine on a new macbook air?

My previous mac book pro had all my photos on it. I thought I saved the library to a disk, but was unsuccessful. I also backed up my photos to my Time machine daily. Once my macbook and coffee got acquainted, it no longer worked. I am unable to retrieve my photos from anywhere, nor do I know how to access them from my time machine. When I enter time machine, the date only goes as far back as to when I started back ups with the new macbook. How can I obtain them? I have a lot of baby photos I'm without.

Not for photos as I don't have alot of room, nor am I 100% know what I am doing.

New Air Port Time Capsule Not Working With Old Airport Express

I have been running a home network comprised of a Air Port Time Capsule (A1254) and 5 ea Air Port Express (A1264) for several years with no problem.
The Air Port Time Capsule (A1254) died and I replaced it with an Air Port Time (A1470). Now none of the Air Port Express (A1264) work, all flashing yellow. All other network functions seem to work okay, Time Capsule Backup, Apple TV, Internet …
I am using AirPortUtility 6.3.1 for setup but do not see any way to setup the Air Port Express.

Reset the Express to factory and start over.. they should work.. are you using all 5 in extend wireless mode?
When you reset the Express click on the wifi icon in the top menu area.. and the newly reset AEx will appear in the list.. click it and Airport utility will open and attempt to automagically connect it to the TC.

Bought new Air, Time Machine Restore not working

Bought a new air, have my previous Air backed up on a time capsule, which I want to transfer to the new Air. When I Cmd+R the new Air on startup, I go through the normal procedure to transfer the time machine image from the old Air to the new Air. I do -
1. Restore From Time Machine Backup
2. Select Backup Source - my original Air image
3. Put in my password, it's accepted, I can see my previous Air image and the laptop name is correct.
4. It says "Opening Time Machine Backup"
5. I select the latest backup, which date/time is correct
I get "You can't restore this backup because it was created by a different model of Mac". Is the new Air incompatible? If so, arrrrgh!

See Pondini's Excellent information here...

Time Machine - Deleted Backups/backupdb

I've searched everywhere but I haven't seen this exact scenario. So, here's the deal: I got a new AirPort Extreme, recently, and was reading online that I could attach my external HDD to it, via USB. I'm thinking, "Great! I can take this thing off my desk, to give me more room." I ejected the XHDD and connected to the APE. I could see it under Devices/Shared, and when double-clicking on it, I could access all my files. (I have other folders on the drive; Movies, iTunes Music, eBooks, etc. Using AirPort Utility, I could not select the drive to use as a Time Machine backup drive. I had been using this XHDD for TM backups, for a while, when connected directly to the iMac. I then read "Sadly, we can't do a Time Machine backup and then move it to the AEBS, so we have to do it this way." So, I deleted the Backups/backupdb folder, and everything in it, so I could then reattach the XHDD to the AE and set it up to work for TM backups. I DID NOT delete my other folders. When the Trash finished emptying the 2.5+ million files, I tried to eject the drive, but got a message saying that it was in use and could not be ejected. I thought it might be performing some residual background task. After about an hour, I tried again to eject - No Joy! So, I rebooted the iMac. Now, the volume won't show up on my desktop and it has been sounding like its working (doing something) for the past couple of hours. I can see the drive in DiskUtility, but there is no volume listed under it. Not sure what I should do to get this thing to mount. I'll worry about the TM issues later -- right now, I just need to access the other folders on the drive. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I do have Data Rescue, as a last resort, I guess...

Hi, and welcome to the forums.
Ouch!
First, you need to know that Time Machine backups via an Airport Extreme are "iffy" and +*not supported by Apple.+* See Using Time Machine with an Airport Extreme Air Disk (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
Second, Time Machine works best when the backups are in a separate partition. See #3 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum). If yours had been done that way, you could have simply erased the partition via Disk Utility, in a matter of moments.
I don't know what's wrong with the disk now.
Disconnect it from your Mac. If it has it's own power supply, unplug it or turn it off for a few minutes. Reboot your Mac again, just to be sure everything's cleared, then reconnect it (via a different port, if possible) and power it on.
If that doesn't help, what does Disk Utility show for the *Partition Map Scheme* on it (at the bottom of the window when you select it)?
If it's either +Apple Partition Map+ or GUID, that's correct. If not, that may be at least part of the problem. Does it show the correct *Total Capacity?* What does it have for *Write Status?*
If you have a copy of +Disk Warrior,+ or another 3rd-party heavy duty disk repair app, it might be able to fix it.
Otherwise, yes, you may need +Data Rescue.+ Make sure it's a compatible version.

Time machine - backup not found yet visible

Hello,
I am having trouble setting up Time Machine on a new Macbook Air running OSX Yosemite 10.10.
I have an external hard drive connected to a first generation Airport Extreme, and it is running fine and backing up on my other computer, a MacBook Pro which is running OS X version 10.7.5 and AirPort Utility 6.3.1.
Yet when I purchased the new Macbook Air (listed above), which is using Airport Utility 6.3.4, upon opening Time Machine, it is not able to see my backup disk. It just keeps saying "Set up an AirPort Time Capsule that is not listed here." When I click "Setup" it brings me to the AirPort Utility, and I can see my AirPort Extreme, and further, when I click on my AirPort Extreme and "Edit" I am able to see my backup drive under the "Disks" header. There is plenty of space as well.
Any reason why Time Machine is not able to see my backup disk, despite being able to see it in AirPort Utility? I As I said, it is working fine on the MacBook Pro.
Many thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Apple never officially supported Time Machine backups to a drive connected to the USB port of the AirPort Extreme, Generations 1 through 5.
Some users were able to make this work, and some were not up using operating systems up through Mountain Lion (10.8.x).
Apple pretty much shut off the capability to even try this when Mavericks (10.9.x) was introduced, and this continues through Yosemite (10.10.x).

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 Different Mount Volumes

Have an external HD. Always did Time Machine Backups and the volume that would be initially mounted was the name of the external HD. Then I went out and purchased AirPort Extreme station. Set up the external HD through the USB port and started backing up through the router. The mount point is now called Time Machine Backup and I can't change it. New backups are happening but when I connect the HD through FireWire directly to my Mac now I can't see the latest backups. No matter what I do, change the disk in Time Machine, etc... still getting two different volumes pointed to the external HD. How do I reset time machine to its default settings without erasing data on my external HD?
If I do a df in Terminal I see now:
\Volumes\G-Disk
\Volumes\Time Machine Backup
Half of my backups are in the G-Disk and half in Time Machine Backup but I can't browse to the Time Machine Backup at all.

I hate to have to tell you this, but backing-up that way is "iffy" and +*not supported by Apple.+* See [Using Time Machine with an Airport Extreme Air Disk|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Airport.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).

Correct. Time Machine stores backups differently when they're made over a network. See the blue box in #E2 of Start with [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).

Time Machine doesn't see my NAS?

Well after talking on the phone will Apple about the AirPort Extreme's USB port "connection failed." every day. I was told that Time Machine is NOT supported with the AirPort Extreme and that I should get a NAS.
So, I walked into NCIX and picked up the Patriot Javelin S4. It says Time Machine compatible and Mac compatible on it. I have set it up but Time Machine doesn't seem to find the NAS? I am running Lion.

Just because it says it's compatible doesn't mean it is, unfortunately. And, some NASs that were compatible with Time Machine on Snow Leopard didn't get updated for Lion's tighter security requirements.
So, first, check with the maker to be sure it's compatible with TM on Lion (they may have an update).
Then, be sure you're following their setup instructions exactly. Each NAS has it's own mini-operating system, that interacts with OSX, and they all do it differently (even some made by the same company don't do it the same way!).
