Time Machine - Folder Exclude - Error

Hi,
i was using LION & i moved to Mavericks in addition to the very slow performance comparing to LION i have 2 new errors.
1)Time machine error.
2) Wifi auto refresh.
1)Time machine error.
i've excluded a folder from time machine cause there was Music inside ( Tony Music in the attached photo )
I've moved the music to another drive cause i dont need them on my MBP and tried to remove the excluded folder from Time machine but its now working.
each time i removed it and i save then go in it shows as nothing done !!!
it disturb me to see this folder excluded and i dont have it ! CAN Anyone Help ???
2) Wifi auto refresh.
the wifi is not auto refreshing, each time i press on the wifi to move a connection it doesnt show live wifi routers, i should turn it off and back on to see them.

Hi V.K.
Thanks for the quick reply.
I've tried to follow the instructions and I've entered "Time Machine" in the quotes, as this is what I've recently changed the name of my hard drive to be called. Terminal then asked for my password which I entered. However, terminal then returned the following comment:
"chmod: /volumes/Time Machine/.0017f2d8f3ef: No such file or directory"
All I can think of that I recently changed the name of my hard drive from "Maxine" to "Time Machine" today - but I've tried both names and they don't work.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help.

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the word "Starting" (without the quotes) in the String Matching text field. You should now see log messages with the words "Starting * backup," where * represents any of the words "automatic," "manual," or "standard." Note the timestamp of the last such message that corresponds to an abnormal backup. Now
CLEAR THE WORD "Starting" FROM THE TEXT FIELD
so that all messages are showing, and scroll back in the log to the time you noted. Select the messages timestamped from then until the end of the backup, or the end of the log if that's not clear. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message.
If all you see are messages that contain the word "Starting," you didn't clear the text field.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don't post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

When I tried to back up my computer, Time Machine says 'an error occurred while creating the backup folder.' When I check the side of the partition where I manually saved old files, the folders are there, but NONE of the files are.

I haven't backed up my computer in over a year. When I tried to back it up today, Time Machine says 'an error occurred while creating the backup folder.' When I check the side of the partition where I manually saved old photos and documents (including all the pictures from the year I studied abroad/traveled a bunch), the folders are there, but NONE of the files are.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be, or how I could fix it? I really don't want to lose all those photos

So you were doing a time machine backup to another partition on the same hard drive? Just trying to gather some information so i can provide a helpful response.

HT201250 What files and directories, if any, does Time Machine automatically exclude?

Does Time Machine automatically ignore any files that aren't displayed in the Preferences>Time Machine>Options exclude list?

That is not entirely correct: TM does exclude some items. To see the complete list: in Finder's menubar select Go -> Go to Folder.... and type in this path (followed by [return]:
/System/Library/CoreServices/backupd.bundle/Contents/Resources/
In the window that opens, select "StdExclusions.plist". You can see what's in it with any text editor.

How to share more than one Time Machine folder

Hi,
With Snow Leo Server I found how to find how to share more than one Time Machine Folder but I can't see how to do the same with Lion Server, could you help me with that ?
The goal of that is to offer one TM folder per user which is located on a dedicated partition in order to limit the size of TM backups per user (150Gig).
In Lion, in can only share one TM folder for everybody and I didn'tfind if I can set a limit size per user...
Thank you in advance,

I have figured out a way to enable multiple backup targets.
However, it's one of these things I wouldn't want to describe to anyone except true programmer types, because everyone else has a 90%+ chance of messing up their system if they do something wrong.
It involves turning off file sharing, and then editing the plist files in /private/var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/sharepoints/
The gist of it is this:
a) first create all the share points you later want to use for TimeMachine, and set them up for afp-only file sharing, also create one TM target, which you can either use later, or have there so the system has one entry it knows how to handle. I just made a bogus one that I'm not actively using.
b) turn off file sharing in Server.app
c) turn off TimeMachine in Server.app
d) now you can edit the files, the easiest is with Xcode, so you may want to install that first
e) for each sharpoint you made in a) there will be a corresponding .plist file in the location indicated, these are the files that need to be edited.
f) for each of these files
     1) the item0 string property in the timeMachineBackup array must be switched from 0 to 1
     2) a new key of type array with the name timeMachineBackupUUID must be created
     3) in the newly created array an item of type string must be placed with the value of a UUID, which can be created with the shell command uuidgen
g) make sure all the edited plist files are saved
h) turn on TimeMachine in the Server.app again
If all went well, you now should be able to go to one of your networked client computers and see all the time machine share points just created as options for being a time machine target.
Anyway, if you go that route: be careful, don't blame me if you muck things up...

Time Machine Read only error launches airport

I have a partitioned external and use Time Machine on an OSX10.5, and SilverKeeper for the OSX10.4.11 Mac. Everything's been fine until yesterday. Backed up the 10.4 machine with the designated partition, drive 'hung', computer crashed. So, now, the partition for the Time Machine computer doesn't work, the MAC Silverkeeper appears fine and I get the "Time Machine Read only error" on the MacB Pro 10.5. I can "read/write" for the other partitioned, can verify and repair. No go to repair the "Time Machine" partition. And here's the best part: If I choose "NONE" in Time Machine Preferences to unchoose that particular drive, The computer launches the Airport Express Utility and offers my Airport express as a choice for a drive. What's up with that?

Time Machine Folder

After installing Yosemite my entire Time Machine Folder is now in the trash. I tried to return this to my new Time Machine DB folder, but I get a message that it cannot be changed. OK, so how do I return my backups to my backup drive. I cannot afford to loose the backups.

I keep getting this when trying to open Time machine: An unexpected error occurred (error code -6584). time machine wont even open up. My Time capsule has a green lite and appears fine
Thaks,

This often means the backup is corrupted.
First of all reboot the network.. turn everything off and restart in order.. modem.. TC.. clients.
If you still have issues, hold the option key when you click the Time Machine icon on the top menu and it will bring up verify backups.
Do that.

Hello,
http://pondini.org/TM/C6.html

After a full restore from Time Machine, I get "error code -6584" when trying to go into TM.

I took our iMac in, at the direction of Apple, to have the hard drive replaced. When we got it back, I restored from Time Machine (on Time Capsule). One file on the desktop, a spreadsheet file, has reverted to a version five months old, with the loss of considerable data, so I don't know which files I can now trust. Also, when I try to go into Time Machine, I get "error code -6584" and am unable to access my backups
This is potentially very very bad. What can I do?

Solved:
sudo chflags 0 /Volumes/"FCP Time Machine BU"
sudo chown 0:80 /Volumes/"FCP Time Machine BU"
sudo chmod 775 /Volumes/"FCP Time Machine BU"
sudo chmod -N /Volumes/"FCP Time Machine BU"

Time machine back up error -1?

How do you cure the Time machine back up error -1?

See Pondini's TM FAQs, for details.

Time machine backup fails; error creating folder. Western Digital drive requires password which is perhaps/likely the issue. I can't eliminate the password/encryption.

Time Machine backup fails on new WD external drive (My Passport Studio); error creating folder (after several hours of Time Machine apparently working).
Background: I purchased a Western Digital drive from an Apple Store to use for Time Machine backup. I followed the Western Digital instructions that came with the drive for Mac. I didn't get the Time Machine prompt which the instructions indicated I would receive--namely to select whether I want to encrypt my Time Macine backups. (I already have a Time Machine backup I use at another location, which is perhaps why I didn't receive a prompt.)
I decided to install the Western Digital utilities and security software that comes on the disk--with a view to potentially encrypting the disk (since I still wanted to have an encrypted backup since I was mobile). I forgot that (from experience 2-years previous) that I shouldn't install Western Digital software because it just makes life really complicated.
I tried several times to do a Time Machine backup with failures each time (error creating the backup folder). I tried to get help from WD but I don't think the technicians were following what my issue was. Potentially I was not helpful in explaining it. I deleted the WD applications from my system after the first contact with WD. However the problem persisted--I still had an encrypted hard drive. After three phone sessions with three different WD techs I still could not get a solution. (By the second call I was not at all interested in having an encrypted drive--I just wanted to format and restore the drive to an unencrypted state so that I could have SOME kind of Time Machine backup.)
I still don't have a solution--either to get Time Machine working with the WD encryption/password on the drive, or to remove the encryption so I can backup. Right now my options are to return the drive to the Apple Store -- or get a return authorization from WD. Seems crazy since the drive is fine and I have the working password.

Never install "helpful software" provided by WD and Seagate (or any HD mfg.)
All such stuff is fluff and nonsense that interferes with normal HD operation.
Always when you buy a new HD, format it for Mac and then use it to TM backup or clone a HD, or archive data.
Less is more on HD new out of box. A "blank brick", no fluff and cotton candy software
