Time machine - On backup disk change still looking for the old one

Hi,
I had a backup disk from my D-Link NAS, which died, I bought a Synology Diskstation and enabled Time machine.
I can see the hard drive in time machine preferences, I can select it and everything seems to be ok. Until a backup is performed, at the moment system says it can't find the original (D-Link) disk. Even in console app I can see it search for the afp for D-Link.
I tried to disable time machine, reboot. Also remove the /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
Also using command line util tmutil it fails.
tmutil destinationinfo
====================================================
Name          : Backup
Kind          : Network
URL           : afp://backup@DataCenter_AFP_Backup._afpovertcp._tcp.local/Backup
ID            : 16EE688A-9FE1-40EE-8495-84BC56FD63B7
tmutil removedestination 16EE688A-9FE1-40EE-8495-84BC56FD63B7
but It won't remove it, destinatininfo prints the same result
I tried to set destination with the new afp path, but no change.
Any idea what else I could try?

That device is unsuitable for use with Time Machine. I know this isn't the answer you want, and I also know that the manufacturer says the device will work with Time Machine, and that it usually seems to work. Except when you try to restore, and find that you can't.
If you want network backup with Time Machine, use as the destination either an Apple Time Capsule or an external hard drive connected to another Mac or to an 802.11ac AirPort base station. Only the 802.11ac base stations support Time Machine, not any older model.
If you're determined to keep using the NAS for backup, your only recourse for any problems that result is to the manufacturer (which will blame Apple.)

    Hi Terri571,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    See these steps for setting up Wi-Fi syncing between your iPhone and new computer:
    iOS: Syncing with iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
    Wi-Fi syncing
    Open iTunes
    To set up Wi-Fi syncing, connect your iOS device to your computer with the included USB cable. Select your device under Devices on the left-hand side.
    In the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi".
    Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it. The iOS device will sync automatically when all of the following are true:
    The iOS device is plugged in to power
    iTunes is open on the computer
    The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network
    While the iOS device appears in the left-hand column of iTunes, you can select the content tabs and configure sync options.
    Click Apply or Sync to sync the iOS device.
    If the iOS device does not appear in the Devices section or you are unable to sync, please see this article for troubleshooting.

  • Changed my apple I'd email address but my iPad still asks for the old one

    Changed my Apple ID email on the computer I run ITunes on. Opened my iPad and tried to update an App and it asks for my old email as username and therefore won't accept the new password.

    I think it might be because I have not had this ipad linked to my Apple ID for over 90 days? Only got it a couple of weeks ago. It's so frustrating!
    Thank you for the prompt reply.

  • Time Machine error: backup disk image could not be created

    Iet up my new time capsule day and it's working great. Now that I've got everything sorted out, I'm ready to do the initial time machine back up on it. I went into preferences, changed the backup location to my TC and clicked 'back up now'. Very quickly I get a message that the backup failed: "Time Machine Error - The backup disk image could not be created".
    I've searched the apple support area but haven't been able to figure this one out. Can anyone help, please? This is an initial backup. (FYI, it worked great on my old external drive.)
    Many thanks

    I had the same problem. I installed my Time Capsule, fired up Time Machine and got an error that said "The backup is too large for the backup volume. The backup requires 436.8 GB but only 182.2GB are available."
    Coincidently, these are the same sizes as the space used and the space available on my iMac's drive.
    I looked in /Volumes and saw that the sparsebundle was being created on the local disk and not on the main disk. Trying to backup again gave me the "Time Machine error: backup disk image could not be created." message.
    I poked around the forums, and found a post about the machine name setting in sharing. I decided to give it a look, and lo and behold, I did not have a machine name. So I gave my box a name, kicked off Time Machine again, and it worked.

  • Why is Time machine saying backup disk disconnected? Using MBP 17" Lion 10.7

    Why is Time machine saying backup disk disconnected? Using MBP 17" Lion 10.7

    Do you have an external drive connected?
    If you do has it gone into sleep mode? There is a setting in the OS to put drives to sleep if they aren't being used. Energy Saver "Put the hard disk to sleep when possible".
    Also most external drives have a built in sleep function that if they aren't being accessed for a period of time they go to sleep by themselves.

    I got this error while my mac was backing up to time machine: he backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/Sanjeev’s iMac.sparsebundle” could not be created (error (null)). Please could someone help

    Has the backup been working ok??
    If that is the case simply reboot the TC.. or if that fails, reboot the whole network, restarting in correct order..
    modem.. wait 2min
    TC.. wait 2min

  • HT3275 Time machine error, backup disk image "/volumes/data-1/.sparesbundle " already in use. I don;t know what this means, can someone help?

    My Mac mini time capsule is showing an error Time machine error, backup disk image "/volumes/data-1/.sparesbundle " already in use. I don;t know what this means, can someone help?

    I had a similar problem and I solved it as follows -
    In Time Machine - > I deselected time capsule Data Disk as a destination.
    Then I pulled the power plug on the Time Capsule, twiddled my thumbs for 15 secs, plugged the power back in.
    Went back t Time Machine -> Re-Added the Time Capsule Data Disk as destination. And then tested by selecting Backup Now.
    All went well and the backup picked up from before the problem.
    BTW - I also have a USB drive connected to Time Capsule that is an alternate disk for Time Machine to backup.
    In Mountain Lion the GUI lets you add more than one Time Machine backup destinations very easily so I think it a good idea to have redundancy.
    Hope this helps.

  • Personal Domain changed but iWeb still remains with the old one

    Hi,
    recently I changed my Personal Domain on MobileMe. Unfortunately iWeb still remains with the old one: Even if I create a new iWeb-Domain the problem occurs. I also checked whether this is a local iMac problem or not but it isn´t unless I have the same issue with my MacBook Air using the same MobileMe Account. Every time I open iWeb the 'Settings Page' shows the old personal domain name (displayed in brackets behind the MobilMe Account information). At MobilMe the new Personal Domain name displayed as the active one.
    Any Ideas?
    Thanks in advance
    Mikl

    I have this same problem.. Any help would be appreciated!!!

  • Renamed a 2012 license server but it still looks for its old name

    I renamed a Server 2012 machine that I had installed remote desktop licenses on. The server shows the licenses are available under the new name, but when you log in remotely, it's still looking to the old name as the license server. There isn't any remote
    desktop configuration function on 2012, so where do I tell it to look to the new name for licensing? When I do licensing diagnosis, it still shows that it's looking for the old name.

    Hi,
    If the server is part of collection in a RDS deployment then you would set the licensing server name in Server Manager -- RDS -- Overview -- Tasks -- Edit Deployment Properties -- RD Licensing tab.  If the server is standalone (not part of RDS deployment)
    then you may set the licensing server name in the local group policy (gpedit.msc).  The setting is under this path:
    Computer Configuration\ Administrative Templates\ Windows Components\ Remote Desktop Services\ Remote Desktop Session Host\ Licensing
    -TP

  • Why is it that I downloaded Firefox 4.0 but I do not have the orange firefox box in the upper left hand corner of screen. My screen still looks like the old verison of firefox. My screen does not look like the one in the video. looks nothing like the one

    My Firefox 4.0 does not look anything like the videos you show about the features of the new Firefox. My screen looks totally different than yours. It does not have the orange box in the upper left hand corner of the screen. My screen still looks like the old version. I have the logo on the top of my screen with Ask a Question a vertical line Firefox Help - Mozilla Firefox.
    Under this line I have File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. Below this line is a tab with Ask a Question Firefox Help and a +. My husbands screen looks identical to the orange Firefox Box in the upper left of screen. I would like my screen to look identical to the ones shown in your videos. I only have one version of Firefox 4.0 my husband does have the Firefox 4.0 plus the Beta version. How do I add the Beta version? I have Windows Vista running systems. Please help. Thank you

  • Exhcange 2010 to 2013 Outlook client still looking at the old CAS

    Hello,
    Exchange 2010 SP3 and Exchange 2013 Version 15.0 (Build 913.22) Living in Co-Existence mode.
    When I move a test mail box from 2010 to 2013 the outlook client continues to look for the old CAS server. IT appear recycling Exchange Application pools and/or a forced AD replication solves the issue. repadmin /syncall. I would like to have this resolved.
    I have thousands of mailboxes and recycling or replicating after each mailbox is moved is not acceptable. I see multiple posts on these forums that talk about the issue but none with a solid solution. Can any one point me in the right direction?

    If I move a mailbox and delete the old outlook profile and recreate it, yes it will connect with the 2013 CAS server 9 out of 10 times. But randomly the outlook client when closed and restarted will try connecting back to the 2010 CAS server, when this happens
    the users gets prompted for their credentials. I have had a ticket open with Microsoft for 4 days now. Spent about 6 hours on remote sessions. I have performed dozens of exchange migrations, 2003-2007-2007-2010, this is my first 2010-2013, I have no way
    to explain this behavior.
    Recreating profiles is not a legitimate fix, I have thousands of mailboxes, it just isn't feasible. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you for the reply DareDevil57!
    All of my DNS/SRV/autodiscover records public and private point to the new 2013 CAS server.  
    All remote connectivity test are green.

    This article describes my scenario exactly however no real solution is offered. Only manual fixes. Give the size of this environment it will not work.
