Time machine just stops.

I upgraded to leopard a few days ago, and have been trying to get time machine working. Whenever I try to back up, it goes until about 13 or 14 GB have been copied, and then stops suddenly. Sometimes it says that the latest back up failed due to an unnamed error, but usually it just doesn't list any. I tried what the sight says to do, re-partitioning the drive so it uses GUID instead of the other one it came with. I have also tried with two different drives, a Toshiba External USB 250GB, and a DiskGO Edge External USB 160GB, and they both fail at about the same point. To be clear, I have the drives set up according to this article, TS1550. I spent a lot of money on these drives, I would like at least one of them to work as the back up drive. One last thing, the DiskGo was recommended by a certified Mac distributor.

Welcome to Discussions.
Double check the partitioning scheme in Disk Utility as sometimes the formatting doesn't "take". Click on the upper icon for your drive. At the bottom right of the window "Partition Map Scheme :" should be GUID. If it isn't try following the directions for formatting this article

  • My time machine just stopped working. No power. I had it since 2011

    I had my time machine for about 20 months, and it just stopped working. no power. I have a lot of backups on it. Anyone had the same issue? I read on some forums that it was reccurent, and that apple is not addressing this issue. Please help. Too expensive to just go in the trash.

    Do you have any computer with current applecare?? If so apple will replace the TC as it is covered.
    Less than 2years for a current TC.. that would be Gen3 or early Gen4 is a little bit short for these models.. mostly they do last to 3years now.
    What is the A1xxx model number from the rubber foot?
    Leave it to cool for several hours.. overnight.. and start it fresh after that..
    Pay particular attention to everything..
    The boot sequence should go something like this..
    Power on.. green front led.. change to solid amber after a few seconds.
    All the ethernet LEDS will flash green for a moment.
    Front LED will start flashing amber and the hard disk will spin up.. place your hand on it to hear it spin up.
    Other things happen and eventually if there are no errors the front led will go solid green... but flashing amber is fine.
    Do you get any LED on at all?
    Where in the world are you?

  • Time Machine just stopped working, Disk Repair & Read Only errors

    So my TM backups have been running fine for at least six months now.
    Today I started to get this error:
    "Disk Repair
    The disk "xxxxxx" was not repairable by this computer. It is being made available to you with limited functionality. You must back up your data and reformat the disk as soon as possible."
    followed by
    "Time Machine Error
    The backup volume is read only.
    To select a different volume, open System Preferences and choose Time Machine"
    I've searched high and low for a solution to no avail.
    Here's what I've tried so far.
    Attached disk to iMac, repaired the disk. It now verifies with no errors.
    Changed permissions on the disk to 644 through terminal as per an Apple article.
    Rebooted iMac several times, zapped PRAM.
    Anyone have any ideas as to why this is suddenly happening? I would really hate to have to reformat the disk and start from scratch. This is very frustrating, I've changed nothing.
    Here's the log from Time Machine Buddy:
    Starting standard backup
    Disk image /Volumes/FreeAgent Drive/Thomas Torrillo’s iMac_002332917af9.sparsebundle mounted at: /Volumes/Backup of Thomas Torrillo’s iMac

    What to do if Time Machine reports you don't have permission
    This was posted in the Apple Discussions by V.K. I have only modified it slightly to be more generic.
    The problem seems to be that 10.5.6 changes permissions on a file so that even the root user doesn't have write peivileges. I have no idea why they did this. The workaround suggested in [an]other post will probably work, too, but i did something less drastic. Instead of deleting the file I changed permissions on it, and it worked just fine. An added benefit is that the permission change seems to stick, so you don't have to delete the file every time you change a drive.
    [Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt [enter] the following command:
    sudo chmod 644 /volumes/"TM drive name"/.xxxxxxxxxxxx
    The name of the file .xxxxxxxxxxxx is based on the MAC address of your computer and will be different for every computer. Put the name of the TM drive in the above and keep the quotes.
    You'll have to enter your admin password (which you won't see) which is normal.
    This was edited by Kappy just for cleanup.
    Enable Finder to Show Invisible Files and Folders
    Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following command line then press RETURN.

    To turn off the display of invisible files and folders enter or paste the following command line and press RETURN.

    Alternatively you can use one of the numerous third-party utilities such as TinkerTool or ShowHideInvisibleFiles - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

  • Time machine has stopped backing up to time capsule. message is that sparse bundle is in use

    Time machine suddenly stopped backing up to time capsule returning this message:
    The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data-1/xxnymacbooknamexx MacBook.sparsebundle” is already in use.

    Complex procedure that will almost always solve this bug:
    Pull the power cord from the back of the Time Capsule
    Count to ten
    Plug the power cord back into the back of the Time Capsule
    Wait a few minutes, then try a backup again.

  • Time Machine has stopped making backups

    Time Machine has worked fine for me fore many months, the backup disk being a 1 TB external firewire drive.
    But now Time Machine will not make a backup. I keep getting the same error message: "Time Machine Error. This backup is too large for the backup volume. The backup requires 88.7 GB but only 58.5 are available."
    I thought Time Machine just deleted the oldest files on the drive to make the room it needs for continued backups. So why isn't it doing that now? How do I get it to go back to doing that?
    Thanks for any help!

    My Time Machine backup disk is an external 1 TB firewire drive with only one partition, dedicated entirely to TM, and it backs up the two internal drives in my G5. One of these two internal drives has about 600 GB of data on it and the other about 400, so together they would be enough to fill the external Time Machine backup drive.
    Yes, that's too small. Our "rule of thumb" is, TM needs 2-3 times the space of the data it's backing up. See #1 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.
    Now I have discovered that there is something wrong with the Time Machine backups as well. I decided to go into TM to see just how far back in time the backups go, but it will only allow me to go back as far as yesterday. It acts as though there are no backups older than yesterday afternoon.
    That's probably correct; your TM disk is too small, and there's just not room for more. Here's the situation: A full backup has nearly filled the disk; something fairly large has been added or changed, and there just isn't room for it, in addition to the full backup.
    The 88.7 GB it's requesting means it's trying to back up about 74 GB (it adds 20% for workspace, etc., on the TM disk).
    This is getting stranger all the time. At this point should I just give up trying to fix the situation, erase the backup drive, and start all over again?
    That probably won't help much, if at all. To confirm what's going on, Click here to download the +Time Machine Buddy+ widget. It shows the messages from your logs for one TM backup run at a time, in a small window. Navigate to the last backup attempt, then copy and post all the messages for that run here.
    You need to do one of the following:
    Get a larger drive, at least 2 TB.
    Get an additional drive; use one for TM backups of one of your internal HDs, the other for a different app to back-up the other internal HD.
    Exclude a lot of stuff from Time Machine (at least 300 GB).
    Use a different app, such as CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper, to back up your internals to separate partitions on the 1 TB drive. These will be exact copies only; no previous copies of things you've changed or deleted.

  • HT2284 My Time Capsule just stopped working.

    Thank you in advance for any help. My Time Capsule just stopped working and I do not get the 'Connection Failed' error message as the Time Capsule is not showing up in the finder window. The light continues to flash amber on the Time Capsule. I am using it with my iMac running Lion. Any help will be really appreciated.

    This is just typical Lion.. reboot the TC.. if that doesn't work.. reboot the whole network from fully off.. in order.. modem.. router/TC.. clients. 2min gap between each.
    If still has issues.. press reset on the TC and redo it.
    Download a utility that has tool properties..
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Just ignore the toyland version in Lion.
    Next time it happens go to disk page in the utility and hit disconnect all users..
    C12 and C17 can suggest some other things.

  • Time Machine never stops filling the drive. I have a total of 1TB to backup onto a 2TB drive using time machine. It just keeps filling the drive until it runs out and insists on a bigger drive

    I have around 1TB to backup. I have a 2 TB backup drive. Time machine fills it in the first pass. It just makes no sense at all. Every hour, time machine mysteriously finds a few hundred more gigs to backup even though i have not used the computer. Now the disk is full and it's demanding a bigger backup drive. This is the second time this has happened.

    Michael Oliphant wrote:

    There's clearly more than 1 TB to be backed-up.   Either another internal HD (all internals are backed-up by default), or an external that's not excluded.  
    What's shown for Estimated size of full backup under the exclusions box in Time Machine Preferences > Options?

  • Time Machine, just doesn't stop running on my machine

    I have three internal SATA drives, one of which is dedicated to Time Machine backups, the initial backup seemed to go okay, but now when Time machine runs, it never stops, the little syncing arrows go round and round in the side, and no amount of clicking or stopping it will bring it to an end. Meaning I need to restart to get the thing to stop the hard drive clicking away.
    Very annoying, anyone have any ideas, other than Time Machine being a big let down?

    Thanks for all the help, I don't really feel like do another huge update to try and fix something I'm not actually that sure about, the more and more I think about it, the less and less I think I'll use Time Machine, I've already stopped using Spaces and CoverFlow, and I think like Dashboard on 10.4, I'll probably shelf Time Machine for the time being.
    At least Quick Look is decent.

  • Time machine has stopped backing up to my Western Digital Network Drive

    I have a WD 1TB World Edition drive which pretty much worked plug 'n' play when I bought it in early Jan backing up with with Time Machine instead of the bundled software. I've had a few troubles backing up, but largely due to router problems. Time machine has worked great with the drive, as promised.
    Until a few days ago, when it stopped backing up altogether. The usual backup icon stopped appearing on the desktop and it came up with error message saying the backup file cannot mount or something like that. Strangely, the shared folders on the drive still show up and I can access all the mp3 files, etc I have loaded up. So, I checked the router, cabling to the drive, rebooted the drive, resetted the drive and checked the settings using MyBookWorld. This stopped the error message showing when I tried to backup and the backup icon now shows on the desktop again. But it won't backup !!! It just stalls and in Time Machine says its configuring without doing anything. I have tried hooking up to the drive directly, still no joy.
    I'm now at the end of my tether. Does anyone have any ideas? I have asked WD support and they were next to useless. Thanks !

    Hi, and welcome to the forums.
    Time Machine does not back up reliably, if at all, to most network drives, except Time Capsules or a shared drive on another Mac running Leopard or Snow Leopard on the same local network.
    Here's the criteria they must meet: Disks that can be used with Time Machine. And be careful here: just because some 3rd-party hardware claims to support Time Machine doesn't necessarily mean that Apple supports it, or that it will work in all circumstances.
    We've seen a number of problems reported with that drive. Have you downloaded the firmware update that's supposed to make it work?
    with error message saying the backup file cannot mount or something like that.
    The exact message might help.
    Time Machine says its configuring
    Is the word "configuring" or is it "Calculating changes"? "Configuring" sounds more like a message from WD, or perhaps your router, than one coming from Time Machine.
    Click here to download the +Time Machine Buddy+ widget. It shows the messages from your logs for one TM backup run at a time, in a small window. Navigate to the backup in question, then copy and post all the messages for that run here.
    You might also try to Repair the backups. I don't know exactly how you'd get to them on a NAS, but try the procedure for a Time Capsule in #A5 of the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.

  • Time Machine has stopped working - ideas?

    A couple of days ago Time Machine stopped working on my iMac.  It continues to try to backup, but each time gives the following error message - "The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk. The problem may be temporary.  Try again later to back up.  If the problem persists, use Disk Utility to repai your backup disk."
    After getting this message several times I used Disk Utility.  It told me everything is fine with the backup disk.  I shut down and restarted the iMac and the backup disk.  No luck.  Just for fun, I tried Disk Utility again; still says the backup disk is fine.
    Any ideas how to proceed from here?  Any other info you need to diagnose what might be happening?

    There are a lot of error messages on Console, beginning May 27.  Most of them are the same, and relate to an application called FocalPoint 2.  Here is the most comon error message -
