Time Machine not using any more space?
My Time Machine backups go back to Jan 4, and show the expected pattern of hourly, daily, and weekly folders each of which appears to be about 78 GB. The log looks fine.
Time Machine Preferences indicates that it is backing up about 90 GB. On my 500 GB (nominal) USB2 backup drive the space in use has remained at about 101 GB for weeks, despite many Time Machine backups each day of about 1 GB each (big because of a big Microsoft Entourage message database that changes every time an email comes in).
This makes no sense to me. The space in use should be increasing by at least 1 GB per day, and the free space should be decreasing by the same amount, but both stay essentially constant.
Any explanation?
The answer was OS updates that made Time Machine far more reliable.
Beware though -- if an OS glitch causes your Mac to lose its date and time, as happened to me a few weeks ago, you need to turn off Time Machine promptly or it will re-save every file on your hard drive. It took a couple of full restarts after I got the date and time corrected before I could turn Time Machine back on and not have it report that it had to save hundreds of gigabytes of files.

Time Machine takes up much more space than actually data backed up...
Every time I backup with time machine, it uses up gigs of space on my backup drive, regardless of increment or decrement of data on Mac. I could put 200 megs since last backup and TM eats 4 gigs. I don't change the file exclusion selections at all. Just curious if anyone knows why that is?
I find it hard to believe I added 4gb since last backup.
You'd be surprised. Sometimes you add more than you think. Any downloads, recently edited documents, etc all will add to the total. Plus system files such as browser history are updated and backed up as well. If it has been a few days since your last backup, I wouldn't worry. If this is happening ALL the time and you know that you have been barely using your computer, you may have a problem that needs to be further looked into. -
Time Machine backup requires significantly more space than size of hard drive + external
I can't seem to figure out what is going on here. I recently purchased a new Macbook Pro with a 1T SSD hard drive, upgrading from an older MB Pro with a 500 GB hard drive. In the past I've used Time Machine to back up my hard drive and an external hard drive with RAW format photos and video footage that totals 441.56 GB. My internal internal hard drive currently is 487 GB, and I've used a 1TB time machine back up without problem to date.
I used Time Machine to install on the new system and it worked flawlessly, except that the Time Machine backups wouldn't continue. Time Machine--even when left overnight--would get hung up on Preparing Files to Back Up. So, I reformatted the Time Machine disk (lost the old backups) and attempted to back up from scratch. I then got a message that I need 3.37 TB to complete my new Time Machine back up, though the total size of the back up on disk is ~930 GB. I've read that Time Machine needs 20% - 30% overhead on disk to work well, but I can't figure out why it would require 3x the back up size. I'm hesitant to purchase a new 4 TB external hard drive as I suspect this is a software issue. I've tried reformatting the disk twice more (three total), rebooting my computer, etc. but I keep getting the 3.37 TB message. I'm operating Mavericks OS 10.9.4.
I would be grateful for insight on this.
Best,
AlexHi Linc, thanks for taking a look at this problem. I just reinitiated a backup to make sure it's most up-to-date. Without the external hard drive, I was able to complete a simple backup. After plugging the external in again, here's the log I got:

Time Machine not doing any backups.
Hello,
Recently, my TM is unable to do any backups on my Imac. It was working before, however when I initiate the backup now... it starts with the message "Calculating changes" and it sat there the whole night.
When I verify the log it tells me the following:
"No space left on device...Waiting for index to be ready".
Can someone help me resolve this issue... I tried deleteing all old backups but while it got to removing 5 million or so files... it gave me an error on delete..
Can someone help please?
Thanks,_To erase the Time Capsule disk:_
Open AirPort Utility (Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility)
Click Manual Setup
Click the Disks icon at the top of the setup window
Click the Disks tab just below the icons
Click Erase. The "Zero Out Data" option will work fine, but may take several hours.
If AirPort Utility cannot "see" the Time Capsule and you are using wireless for this, try temporarily connecting an ethernet cable from your computer to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule.
_To setup Time Machine backups:_
Open System Preferences (gear shaped icon on the dock)
Click Time Machine
Click Change Disk
Click your Time Capsule to highlight it
Click Use for Backups -

Time Machine not recognizing full space available on NAS.
I recently purchsed and set up an Iomega Storcenter ix4-200d NAS with Time Machine support. The NAS has 8 TB storage total, with ~4.6 TB available.
I have TIme Machine support turned on in the Storcenter, assigned to a folder called "Time-Machine." In my OSX Time Machine preferences, I select the "Time-Machine" folder on my NAS as the back-up disk, and my Mac connects to it just fine.
The challenge is Time Machine returns an error saying there isn't enough space on the backup disk to complete the backup.
For some reason, Time Machine is only recognizing 536.36 GB of space available on the backup disk, even though there are ~4.6 TB available. I tried manually moving my iTunes media folder (~700 GB) to the "Time-Machine" folder on my NAS to see if the Iomega NAS was arbitrarily setting a max size to a Time Machine folder. I was able to manually move just under 1 TB of data to the same "Time-Machine" folder that Time Machine says only has 536.36 GB of space.
I tried deleting the Time-Machine store on my NAS, turning Time Machine support off, then turning it back off and creating a new "Time-Machine" folder. I did this several times and still get the same behavior.
I even tried running Time Machine piecemeal, excluding larger folders at first and running a back-up, to see if maybe Time Machine wasn't liking that large of an initial backup. This worked, and then I gradually removed some exclusions and ran back-ups again, so each back-up size was never more than 200 GBs or so. However, after several back-ups, I received the same error message saying there wasn't enough space on the backup disk when the total sparsbundle size reached 536.36 GBs.
Since I can manually move more than 536.36 GB of data to the backup disk, I'm guessing it must be something with Time Machine not recognizing the full space available on the NAS.
Any ideas? Has anyone seen this before?Hello,
not that it helps, but I see the same on the exact same configuration. My message is also about not having enough space, ip-to exactly the same amount of room being available (only 536.36 GB available)?
I tried everything, including a full reset of the StorCenter, but to no avail. The timemachine backup used to work, however I thought that this was just because it didn't exceed the limit of one physical disk in the StorCenter (I've got 4 x 1 TB).
What is strange is that the original author has 2TB disks and still has the same problem? So it likely isn't related to the physical disk size. It seems like the maximum backup can only be 536.36 GB ?? -
Time Machine Not Compacting SparseBundle on Time Capsule
Hi
I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.4 and have a time capsule to hold my iTunes Library and act as my Time Machine repository.
I'm experiencing the problem where Time Machine has filled up my 1TB Time Capsule, and will not back up any more.
I can see that Time Machine has tried to delete some old backups in order to create space - in fact it's deleted ALL my old back ups bar one, probably due to the fact that in deleting each old back up has not released any more space on the Time Capsule as the Sparse Bundle is still massive.
I have done some research and can see that other people were having this issue back in 2008 - so I thought it would have been resolved by now! I thought Time Machine was supposed to compact the sparse bundle image once it had deleted an image these days - but it doesn't seem to have happened.
Can someone tell me if there is some setting I need to select?
I might as well delete the current sparsebundle and just start again - so I don't want to find myself in the same situation in X months time!
Many thanks

I can't get back to some of the earlier logs as the widget crashes and takes down the whole dashboard with it! However I think I remember seeing some messages that stated that it couldn't compact the drive as it was already mounted.
I do use the drive to store my iTunes library as well - so perhaps I had mounted the drive when it ran out of space, and hence it's decision to try and remove all the previous backups.
Perhaps this is a good time to think about creating a disk image on the TC for TM to use so I can keep the backups separate from the other data.
Should I create a disk image and store all the iTunes data in it and let TM use the standard TC or vice versa and create an image for TM to use and then use the native TC for data - or does it not make any difference at all?
Cheers for your help

I've just discovered that different typefaces seem to have different auto-leading in Pages. I am used to default leading being 120% of point size (or some consistent rule), but it seems this is not so any more. The same text in 10pt Times New Roman, which I would expect to line up with 10pt Palatino, for example, doesn't. I've tried using the inspector, at least to get both faces to behave the same for given settings, but I haven't been able to. How much control does Pages allow for this type of settings, and are there any hidden secrets as to how to do so? Many thanks
Message was edited by: Just me thenIf you set the line spacing in the inspector to Exactly and 12 points for 10 point type, it will work the way you want.

How to limit the amount of disk space Time Machine will use?
On Yosemite, how do you limit the amount of disk space Time Machine will use?
I'm using a Seagate Goflex Home 2tb drive connected to my router as a Time Machine backup drive. I use this for three things 1)Time Machine 2) an occasional backup of windows document subdirectory 3) backup of music and photos for long term storage. Doing something like re-partioning the drive is not an option. I'll just go buy another drive for time machine's sole use. In addition, using software from Seagate is not an option. I don't want to use their software for different reasons (mainly the GoFlex home is really designed as a "media server" which I don't use. I, of course, use iTunes. ) On the Mac, I'm only using about 250GB total but time machine is rapidly using up space.
Apparently using a terminal command like below, used to work, but no longer works under Yosemite.
For a limit of 100gb the number below would be 100 x 1024
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine MaxSize 102400
To remove the limit, use the following command:
sudo defaults delete /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine MaxSize
Now, I'm not too familiar with terminal and I'm not about ready to issue a command without knowing exactly what it is going to do.
Is there an easier "switch" someplace or an app that does this?
If I don't limit the size, at some point there will not be any space left for windows backups and additional photo and music files.Hmm- added "sudo" and there was no error reported:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine MaxSize xxxxxx
I guess we'll see. -
I have just upgraded from a Macbook to a Macbook Air. I have been using a iomega external hard drive for Time Machine, which use a Firewire. However, Macbook Air's do not have a Firewire port and i cannot find an adaptor anywhere. Can anyone help?? Thanks
There has never been a reliable firewire ---> USB adapter suitable for external high speed storage. This was a major issue when the MacBooks lost the firewire port a number of years ago (Apple subsequently brought it back).
The only high speed port on the Air is the ThunderBolt port. There are external ThunderBolt drive options out there, but they're somewhat more expensive than traditional USB/FireWire options. -
Hello, the 'Save As' dialog box used to allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory when the focus is in the folder contents box but it does not work any more, please help. BTW the same 'Save As' dialog in other applications still allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory.
cor-el,
I kept forgetting and procrastinating about following your instructions, since I have internet access only for limited amounts of time and usually I am busy with important tasks when I am.
Out of the blue, the problem corrected itself (the Save As box started to open full screen, then shrunk down to a normal size and the edges can now be dragged to a custom size).
Even the copy and paste problem in the filenaming area seems to have been less troublesome lately even though there have been no updates to Firefox in a few weeks.
Even though I marked the solution as not helpful, the problem has in fact been resolved. I will save the solution instructions in case the issue returns. -
My Photoshop Elements does not start any more. It gives response "Photoshop elements cannot start or continue because of missing file(s). Please reinstall." How do I get the installing file again (I bought it from Adobe via internet the first time december 2013?)
Did you download the Basic/Free version?
I also thought the Trial period was as long as you needed!?
What is your Warranty and Return Policy?
You get to use VueScan for as long as you want before you buy it, so we recommend you test it before you buy it to make sure it meets your needs.
All sales are final and there are no refunds.
Isn't this a bit harsh? Naah I actually prefer to solve problems, and if I offer refunds, people give up too easily. If I can't solve your problem after you send a few Problem Reports (see above), I'm happy to give a refund.

Any way to force Time Machine to use existing backup after inheriting?
Hi,
The hard drive in my iMac failed last week, and a replacement drive as well as a new logic board were installed. I installed OS X onto the new drive and then used Setup Assistant to recover all data from my Time Machine backup. Of course, once everything was back in place, Time Machine wouldn't recognize the backup as its own (per Pondini's site, this is because the logic board replacement makes Time Machine think it's a whole new computer).
To resolve this, I issued the Terminal command to inherit a backup, but this wasn't enough so I also issued the command to associate a backup with the computer. This seemed to work, and I was able to kick off a new backup. Time Machine did a complete scan and determined that it needed to back up everything on the computer as new. Because there's not enough space on the Time Capsule, it then started deleting old backups, one after another, until I noticed what was going on and stopped it after a couple hours.
So my question is this: is there a way to get Time Machine to use the old backup data to do an incremental backup? I'm not sure why it thinks it has to save everything; I could see it saving a copy of the OS, since that was installed from scratch, but all the user account data has been restored from backup so it should match what's in Time Machine. If there's no way to do this then I guess I'll just delete the Time Machine archive and start over, but for versioning purposes it would be nice to have the old Time Machine archive data.
Thanks!
Here's some log data:

What happened is I needed to retrieve something from Time Machine prior to starting a backup (the first backup after restoring everything). However, Time Machine wouldn't connect to the Time Capsule, so that is why I used the tmutil commands. Probably if I had instead started a backup then it would have asked me if I wanted to inherit.
Well, if there's no way to avoid a full copy then I guess I'll delete the archive and start over.
Thanks again for your help. -
Time Machine is using a lot of space
My TM says there is only 255 Gb available on my 465 GB (500 GB) external USB HDD (210 GB used). My Finder says my internal HDD has 464 GB available out of 596 GB (132 GB used). I only started using it a few days ago and the used space seems to be growing fast. Why is TM using so much more space and what happens when it runs out?
I'm having the same problem.
I have a 320GB internal hard drive and a 320GB external. Until recently, the "free" space on my external was very similar to the free space on my main drive (about 50% full). But then in the last few weeks, suddenly my external is almost full.
All I've done in the last few weeks is add a bunch of music to my iTunes, but that was only 5-10GB of space. I find it strange that Time Machine is using so much more space, even though it does have all the incremental backups.
2 questions:
1) Anyone know why it might be using so much more space?
2) Is the 'rule of thumb' that an external drive should be bigger than the internal one, because of all the incremental backups?
