TIME MACHINE icon is not showing correctly

Time machine icon is not showing the circle around the clock arms.......it´s only showing the little "sticks" no circle around it.
Works fine, but it does not seem right

now it's in jpeg
No, it's not the animation.....look at the icon: does not have the circle that forms the clock

Time machine icon does not rotate and back up icon on desktop does not show during backup session.

Time machine icon does not rotate and back up icon on desktop does not show during backup session since I installed Maverick. Why? How do I fix it?

That's the new look of it. No way to change it other than file a complaint with Apple. If ENOUGH people do thst they may "fix it".

The time machine Icon does not does not show up in my menu bar

The time machine icon does not appear in my menu bar. The desk top icon for the external hard drive is green. I've checked preferances and the time machine is turned on and the box is checked that has the icon appear in my menu. I've turned off the time machine and rebooted and then turned it on and rebooted again. Nothing seems to work. I'm running Mavericks and I have an Intel I5 processor.

the box is checked that has the icon appear in my menu
Uncheck it and check it again. Any change? If not, see below.
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load 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 log in 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 Steps 1 and 2.

Trying to reconnect airport express to time machine but express not showing up in base station. unfortunately clicked forgot in airport utility and express no longer shows up. how to reconnect?

trying to reconnect airport express to time machine but express not showing up in base station. unfortunately clicked forgot in airport utility and express no longer shows up. how to reconnect?

I would recommend setting the wireless encryption on the AirPort Express BEFORE configuring it for the AirPort Extreme in this case. This issue also comes up often when configuring AirPorts into a WDS.
If setting up security in my recommend order does not work, temporarily connect the Express by Ethernet to the Extreme; make the security changes, and then, move the Express back to the desired location.

TIme Machine - disk volume not showing in history

I have time machine backing up my boot volume, and an external disk that holds my itunes library and iphoto data. The external drive has failed. I have a new drive to restore to, but when I look at the time machine history it no longer shows the old volume attached, it just shows the new one.
Do I have to name the new disk, the same as the one that died? If so, is there a way to find that name (I don't remember what I called it).

tbrinker,
Well, it should be relatively easy to determine the name of the old volume, with a little bit of detective work. COnnect your Time Machine backup drive, and navigate it using the Finder. Inside the backup folder, you will find nested folders going back into the past. Find one that is named with a date that you know would have included the old iTunes/iPhoto volume, and open it.
You will see at least two folder: One named for your startup volume, another for the iTunes/iPhoto volume. BINGO!
Now, all you need to do is re-name the volume on your new external drive. For now, let's disconnect the Time Machine drive. Select the Desktop icon for the volume on your new external drive, and press <RETURN>. This should highlight the name for editing. Re-name it using the exact same name as the folder you found in your older backup (the name of your old iTunes/iPhoto volume), then press <RETURN> again to exit the "edit mode."
With the now re-named volume still mounted, connect you Time Machine drive. When it is available, navigate in the Finder to the root of the new drive (not the Time Machine drive), then click the Time Machine icon in your Dock. You should now be able to go back in time to a point where the window you are seeing is populated with folders (namely, your iTunes and iPhoto libraries). When you find it, select everything, then click "Restore."

In Yosemite time machine icon does not indicate when saving.

I am using an iMac (20 Inch), early 2008, 5 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. Recently I updated from Snow Leopard to Yosemite OS X 10.10.2.
In Time Machine I can back up to an external drive however the Time Machine icon in the Menu Bar does not spin to indicate that it is backing-up as it did with Snow Leopard. What can I do to restore it to its previous behaviour?

Joh,
Since the release of Mavericks, Apple removed the rotation animation.
There is no user capability to change that behavior.

Time Machine icon does not rotate

Hello,
The small Time Machine icon in the upper right hand corner of my iMac no longer spins while it's backing up. Is this something I should worry about?
Tom

Look at the icon closely and if it's backing up there will be an arrow head at both ends of the circle.
Otherwise there's only one arrow head. (Bring a magnifying glass to the job to make it easier to see. )

Time Machine drive does not show in Migaration Assistant

Help

Dear Pondini,
I found the .exclusions.plist file at the 3/6 backup and it has the bunch of exclusions list...I guess this was the reason. But I really didn't set this up.
Thanks again. Somehow, I don't have "com.apple.mail.plist" in "~/zzang/library/preference". I foundt it under "~/zzang/library/containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Preferences/".
1. I first deleted the current preferences files and copied the com.apple.mail.plist from the backup to ~/zzang/library/preference/ folder.
2. I also delted all the files under ~zzang/Library/Mail.
3. I copied contents under ~Library/Mail/ from backup.
4. I started Mail and saw basic account settings and different mail accounts were there. But all the contents (mail, signature, mailboxes under each accounts (sent, deleted, spam, etc.), mailboxes on my mac, are missing.
5. I rebuilt the root mailboxes and no effect.
6. Hence, I checked copied mailboxes and got information and it only has size of 8KB each. When I copied, it was copying 6.6GB. I don't know what is going on here.
7. Hence, I started again from the process 1 above. It is now copying 6.6GB again.
8. What I noticed when I started Apple Mail, it says it will import mail but it was very short and then went back to the same status. No contents....
I looked at more details...
Original backup has V2 directory and no other directories or files ~zzang/Library/Mail while my current Mac created bunch of other things over there. See below images.
3/6 backup
Copied mail on the computer.

Time machine capsule does not show previous backups

I am unable to see the previous backups on my time machine back capsule. It does show today's backup which is not complete. With a new backup, I also receivee a message stating the disk is full. I was under the impression that TM delated the oldest backup. Thanhs for any help concerning this problem

If you have upgraded to Mountain Lion TM seems to be unable to delete older backups.. I would recommend you start over and do a fresh clean backup.. erase the TC first. If you want to keep the old backup archive it to a usb drive.

Time Machine "Latest Backup" not showing up

I am using a Western Digital 1TB Mybook as a TM Backup on my G5. It has been connected since October 2008 and still has 163Gb of free space. It is still backing up hourly and when I enter TM I can access all backups.
However, when I click on the TM icon in the menu bar, it shows "Latest Backup: --" so I can't quickly scan up there to see when it last backed up.
I've run Onyx and TTools on the G5.
Any thoughts?
Steve

Sounds like a corrupted preference file to me!
Before doing anything after this line, make a note of any exclusions you've made in TM's preference pane.
In Finder, click on "Macintosh HD" then Library then Preferences. Find the file com.apple.TimeMachine.plist and move it to the desktop or delete it. Log out of your account & back into it or restart the computer.
See if things work properly after that.

SWTOR .exe icon does not show correctly

right after updating to 16.0.2 the .exe launcher icon for Star Wars The Old Republic changed from the default swtor icon to the generic 'windows page' icon. this is the exe launcher icon on my win 7 x64 task bar and in the start menu. removed both icons from both places and re-added (rt click 'add to task bar/start menu) from the swtor folder. each time the proper icon changes to the generic windows 'short cut' icon.
any ideas why this would happen and how to fix it? thanks

Worked like a charm. knew about the work-around but had forgotten it... thanks for the reminder and the help, well done!

Times In Month View Not Show Correctly

If I create an event for the AM, iCal displays it as being in the PM under month view. If i go to edit it, it shows up properly in the edit view.
Anyone else having this problem?

hmmm4321,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
It seems that iCal>Preferences...>General>"Show time in month view" may be what you are looking for.

Time Machine icon not present

Just pick up a My Book 500G external hard drive and discovered that time machine icon is not present in the system preference folder. My computer's name is using proper characters under the sharing folder???

In the Finder Preferences set what folder you want new Finder windows to open to:
That should set the Finder icon in the Dock to open to the window you want.
As for the closed side pane, in a Finder window with the side pane showing bring up the View options and click on the Use as Default button:

Hard Drive Showing up with Time Machine Icon

I have two hard drives in my Mac Pro. I use one as the time machine backup drive. When I set that one up it changed the icon to the Time Machine icon. Today when I logged into my computer my normal drive changed from the regular hard drive icon to the time machine icon. Any ideas?

FYI...
The problem was that before I started using Time Machine, I had used the FW portable drive to back up my laptop using Carbon Copy Cloner (which makes a bootable copy of your HD). I didn't erase the drive before using it as my Time Machine backup disk so both the FW drive and the HD had the same disk ID associated with them so the time machine icon ended up being associated with both of them.
I erased the portable HD completely (yes, I lost my TM backups but that's a reasonable loss) and then reviewed the Startup Disk under System Preferences. Only the boot drive was listed there correctly (before the erasure, both drives showed up there).
I did a complete backup using TM overnight and then rebooted the system this morning....all is well now. The boot disk now has it's correct icon associated with it.
Regards,
Vicki

Time machine icon not rotating during backup
