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 read only error & dissapears

I have been running time machine on a MacBookPro MacOS x 10.5.8 for 2 years.
Last week for the first time I got the "External Drive is Read Only" error. I followed the instructions in Troubleshooting on verify and repair but it didn't work (details below). I bought a new external drive configured for MAC OS Extended Journaled format and it worked for 5 days before giving me the same error and the same problems reported on verify. I don't want to use the install disk again because it didn't work last time (and it is 10.4.9 not Leopard - I upgraded by download).
I am at my wits end here. Given that the problem occurred on two different external drives I suspect a problem with my OS.
Details of errors (more or less the same both times):
Time Machine Error - Time Machine "Backup volume is read only"
Finder initially showed that the back up folder was read/write for my user ID and the drive was read/write for the system (not sure because the drive now doesn't appear in finder or in Time Machine ("storage location cannot be found" message)
Disk Utilities: Repair disk option was unavailable Verify disk was available
Verify disk showed a lot error messages including a lot in red: e.g. "Incorrect number of directory hard links" "Incorrect number of threads" "Invalid Directory Item Count" "Invalid volume file count" - on the second drive (not the first) it could not complete the verify - error message Verify disk failed: Error: 'Filesystem verify or repair failed.'
Repair disk was available on the Installation disk (10.4.9) - I ran it on the first external drive but it could not repair ANY of the errors. I haven't tried to run it on the second drive

I upgraded to Leopard by going to the Apple site and purchasing the upgrade from there. It was a download.
I never heard of that. I've always been told that OSX isn't available that way. (It must have been a massive download!)
I will try Apple support but I am in Australia and it can take a while for things to get here.
Yes, but if you ever have to reload, or even do a +*Repair Disk+* on your boot drive, you'll need it.
The Disk utility is v 11.1 (252.4) dated 2007.
Yes, that's the right one (I was afraid you had a Tiger version).
I did not format the second drive myself. I purchased it as a Mac only external drive. I checked the format before and in Disk utility - it is definitely Mac OS Extended (Journaled) in both the disk and the partition. The Partition Map Scheme is "Apple Partition Map" which is supposed to be alright for an intel machine (which mine is). Should I change it to GUID?
No, that's fine for TM. Only if you want to install OSX on it do you really need GUID. It's likely not a problem here, but most drives come with various software from the makers, often backup and/or management apps. On occasion, some will be running occasionally or constantly, interfering with TM or other things. That's why we usually recommend that a new drive be erased and reformatted.
I did format the first drive myself before I used it. My memory of how I set it up is a little fuzzy but it worked for a long time. After the Time Machine failure, the Disk Utilities showed different format for the drive and the partition - which bothered me a little and was one of the reasons I bought a new drive. I was thinking about reformatting the drive but now I won't until I know what has gone wrong.
That could have been part of the problem with the first one, but it's doubtful.
So what do we do now?
I don't recall hearing that DU wouldn't even offer +*Repair Disk+* on a drive it could recognize. But if DU won't repair the file system, and you don't have +Disk Warrior+ or other such apps, your only choice is to erase it and let TM start over. In this case, it's probably worth the time to see if DU can write to the entire disk.
Select the top line of the drive, then click the Erase tab. Then click +Security Options+ at the bottom, then +Zero Out Disk+ and OK on the next screen, then confirm.
That will, of course, take quite a while. If it fails, the disk is toast. But it should be covered by warranty, at least.
If the zero-out succeeds, it doesn't necessarily mean the disk is good, but since it's new, it probably is. TM will, of course, do a new, full backup, which will also take a while.
What sort of disk is this? LaCie had a run of bad power supplies lately (your symptoms don't seem to be the same, though), and WD has some firmware updates. You might want to check with the maker for driver and/or firmware updates.

Time Machine "read-only" error across multiple drives

Hello,
I've been having an ongoing problem for more than a year now. I continually get a "read-only" error message from Time Machine. To be specific, the message is: "Time Machine could not complete the backup. Files can’t be copied onto the backup disk because it appears to be read-only. You may need to repair or reformat the disk using Disk Utility. If the disk can’t be repaired, you must use a different disk for backups. Open Time Machine preferences to select a different backup disk."
The problem is, this has happened with three separate backup drives. They are all G-Tech 2TB 4th Generation G-Drive external hard drives. So I'm wondering if there may be a Mac OS software problem, or perhaps a hardware problem.
There's a lot to this story, so if you're game, read on.
First, about a year ago, I noticed that my Mac Pro frequently spontaneously ejected the backup drive, for no apparent reason. I didn't deal with the problem right away because I was having other, pressing troubles with my display (which took forever to solve).
In early-mid 2013, I tried a few disk repairs of my backup disk, as well as erasing the disk (and correctly formatting as Mac OS Extended Journaled). The disk was failing to mount at that point, so G-Tech sent me a replacement drive (a refurbished drive of exactly the same type).
With the replacement drive, I was getting the same "read-only" message. So I tried a few times erasing/reformatting/repartitioning this drive. No luck.
So I was sent yet another replacement drive. I experienced the same problems, and in addtion, I once got a message saying the backup drive was full when it actually wasn't. So I tried a) using a different firewire cable, b) using this different cable on a different port. Same problems.
In the meantime, I did some backups with an old Glyph drive, using the same FW800 port, and the same cable (the 2nd cable), and I had no problems. The reason I don't use this Glyph drive as my normal backup drive is that it is only 500 GB and not large enough to back up all three of my MP internal drives.
A couple other items of note: back in August of 2013, one of my MP's internal hard drives had to be replaced (it was determined to be having multiple input/output errors). Also, I've had a intermittent problem with the MP spontaneoulsy ejecting a couple different Lexar USB flash drives, even after I reformatted them repeatedly (but this has never happened with my ADATA flash drives). I suppose these things may be unrelated, but for the sake of completeness, I thought I'd include them.
So it seems like maybe it's a compatibility issue the G-Tech Drives? I'd be surprised...but I'm stumped. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

Time Machine Read Only Error

My time Machine started throwing an error today: Files cannot be copied onto the backup disc because the drive appears to be read-only.
I've found some info on this forum where people suggest to delete the sparsebundle, but when I go in FInder to TimeMachine >> Shared Items, there are no sparsebundle files to be found. I'm running the latest 10.8 release and TM is on an external USB disk.
Any ideas?

I just installed Leopard and tried using Time Machine on a new Seagate FreeAgent Pro external drive that I formatted with Disk Utility to be read/write. Time Machine says it's read-only. "Get info" in Disk Utility says it's "writeable," but "get info" in Finder says that it's "read/write" for me, but "read only" for "(unknown)" and "Everyone." Did I somehow not configure the external hard drive correctly when I used Disk Utility to partition the external? I see Apple Help says, "The disk used for backing up must be in the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format, and must have Access Control Lists (ACLs) enabled." I selected "Extended (Jounaled)," but I don't see where to choose "Access Control Lists (ACLs)," nor does Disk Utility's help menu recognize "access" or "ACL."

Hello,

HT1175 My full back up reads 250gb but my time machine has only backed up 149gb what do I need to do to fully back up?

I am using my time machine for the first time. I have bought an external backup mobile drive 1TB.
I have turned time machine on and it has save only 149gb of 250gb. How do I get it to save 250gb?
How do I see what it has actually saved and once stored how do I view and restore certain files back to my laptop?
Many thanks Christine

Time Machine does exclude some things automatically, such as system work files, most caches and logs, your trash, etc. That's usually a few GBs, though, not 100!
If the backup completed normally, then it backed-up everything it needed to. It sounds like you have something extra-large (and somewhat hidden) taking up a lot of space. See Where did my Disk Space go? for some common culprits.
For other info on Time Machine, you might want to start with the Time Machine Tutorial, and perhaps browse Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. Questions #14-17 and 19 there cover the various ways to see and restore from your backups. That's a lot of not-so-light reading, so don't hesitate to post back with any other questions.
By the way, Time Machine is the software that performs backups, to various places. A Time Capsule is a piece of Apple hardware combining a wireless router and hard drive, and is a good way to make wireless backups with Time Machine.

My boss cannot create a new subfolder by pressing "new folder" until he's already saved the file to his desktop. A "read only" error appears the first time. Is there a way to create and save to subfolder directly? It's Mavericks/Macbook Pro

Hi, when my boss wants to save a new file in a new subfolder, he presses "new folder" but cannot create a new one because a “read only” error box appears. Once he saves the file to his Desktop he clicks on “save as” again and then he can create a new subfolder by pressing “new folder.” Is there a way to create and save to a subfolder directly without having to first save somewhere else?

Your server file handling has nothing, and really nothing to do with Adobe software. If files don't get locked for (over-)writing and/or lose connection to the program opening them, then your server is misconfigured. It's as plain and simple and that. Anything from "known file types"/ file associations not being set correctly, MIME types being botched, crooked user privileges and file permissions, missing Mac server extensions, delayed file writing on the server, generic network timeout issues and what have you. Either way, you have written a longwinded post with no real value since you haven't bothered to provide any proper technical info, most notably about the alleged server. Either way, the only way you can "fix" it is by straightening out your server and network configuration, not some magic switch in Adobe's software.

Time Machine backups only work after restart

Hi
Getting frustrated as Time Machine backups only work after a restart. Work for a few hours and then get stuck with Backing up: XXMB of XXGB. I have left it on this for many hours ie overnight without completion
I have a Mid 2014 MBP 13 in running 10.10.2
I backup onto an external USB via a hub.
Things I have tried with review of Pondini great site which has helped with different TM backup problems.
Disk permissions and repair of SSD on MBP (were errors but did not solve issue)
Direct USB connection
Backup via Airport Extreme
Re-index spotlight
Reformat USB disk
New USB disk!
Below is log (backupd filtered) of latest backup attempts including final completed occuring after restart.
Any help gratefully received

Backup completed successfully.

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. I don't recommend running it on older versions of OS X. It will do no harm, but it won't do much good either.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message. See, for example, this discussion.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. Try to test under conditions that reproduce the problem, as far as possible. For example, if the computer is sometimes, but not always, slow, run the test during a slowdown.
You may have started up in "safe" mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal 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 and start typing the name.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, a series of lines will appear in the Terminal window like this:
[Process started]
        Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
        Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
        The test results are on the Clipboard.
        Please close this window.
[Process completed]
The intervals between parts won't be exactly equal, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
Wait for the final message "Process completed" to appear. If you don't see it within about ten minutes, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, press the key combination control-C or command-period to stop it and go to the next step. You'll have incomplete results, but still something.
12. When the test is complete, or if you stopped it because it was taking too long, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but whatever else you're told to do may not be. For others who choose to run it, I don't recommend that you post the test results on this website unless I asked you to.

"Hide" External Drive for Time Machine use only

Hi everyone,
I have an AirPort Extreme with 2 External Drives connected to it on wi-fi. One with 500GB I use for "File Server", so all computer in my network can store files on it. The other one, with 1T I use as Time Machine backup ONLY (over wi-fi).
It's all working perfectly. But when using a computer on the network, I was able to see that the Time Machine drive is 'visible' to be used as a 'file server' as well if the user wants to.
Is there any way I can 'hide' this external drive, so it can be seing only by Time Machine?
Maybe it's not possible but it is worth asking.
Regards!
Ricardo

That may not last. Backing-up that way is "iffy" and +*not supported by Apple.+* See Using Time Machine with an Airport Extreme Air Disk (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum). As it says, if you continue backing-up that way, strongly consider keeping secondary backups, if you don't already.

Time Machine backup only when system is idle

Many times when I wake up my Mac and start to use it, Time Machine does a backup. This is annoying since it slows down the system. Is it possible to configure Time Machine to only do backups when the system has been idle for a few minutes?
Thanks.
Andy.

The Time Machine Buddy widget is nice. I discovered that there were some errors about a VirtualPC disc image plug-in. I've not used VirtualPC for a long time so I deleted the plug-ins and the errors went away. The backup is still very slow. One of the knowledge base articles said that the preparing step should be relatively short. My preparing step takes a long time, each backup. My "small" backups take 10-12 minutes.
I have two volumes that are being backed up. Two separate physical discs actually. One has the OS (Earth) and one has my home directory (Moon). I'm backing up to a time capsule through a wired network.
The backup shown below took 12 minutes.

Time Machine will NOT work with Airport Disks!

It looks like Time Machine will not work with Airport Disks after all. All references to Airport have been removed from the Time Machine page:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/timemachine.html
It also specifically says: "You can designate just about any HFS+ formatted FireWire or USB drive connected to a Mac as a Time Machine backup drive. Time Machine can also back up to another Mac running Leopard with Personal File Sharing, Leopard Server, or Xsan storage devices."
Surely, they would have included the Airport Extreme Base Station in this list if it was supported.
I really hope there will be another firmware update for the AEBS which will bring compatibility with Time Machine, because Time Machine was the only reason for me to buy an AEBS. (I only use it as a small backup server, I don't even have wireless networking enabled. There were other solutions, e.g. from Synology, which are faster and more reliable than AEBS disk sharing, but Synology stated their network drives would not be compatible with Time Machine.)

Here's how you can potentially use your AirDisk with TimeMachine (beware that YMMV), but it should work as it works with every other "unsupported" device.
1) Mount your AirDisk so it appears on your Mac
2) Open Terminal.app
3) change directories to the AirDisk's root folder located in "/Volumes"
ie: cd "/Volumes/AirDisk Name"
4) execute this command to "bless" the drive to be used with time machine:
touch .com.apple.timemachine.supported
5) Start TimeMachine and if all went well, it should recognize your AirDisk drive and use it for TM.
This should also work on NFS shares, SMB shares, AFP shares, basically anything. It has worked up until the last developer seed, so unless they yanked this at the last minute, it should still work.
Now, the reason why Apple removed this feature may be due to the unreliability of the AirDisk, so be cautious.

Time machine backups only updates in PVM or full bkup

time machine backups only updates in Parallels VM (vista) or full bkup file.pvm each time from scratch?
how upgrade 10.7.4 to 10.7.5?
where found xcode for this os x version?

Thanks for the inputs, however looking at those links and it is not possible to associate / inherit old backups at 10.6.8 as tmutil is a new command at 10.7
I tried deleting the /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist file as per A4 'Full Reset Of Time Machine', but when I went back into the TM interface it still only showed todays backup.
I then realised that when restoring my system using Migration Assitant, I created a new 'temp' admin profile (internal user ID 501) to pull everything back so I could retain my original admin profile / name (given internal ID 502). I logged in using this temp admin that I hadn't got around to deleting and wo and behold TM was showing all the backups. I then logged out of this temp admin and back into my main profile and the backups are still showing
So, it was either deleting the plist file and then requiring a log out that fixed it. Or going back to my temp profile, launching TM which then fixed something somewhere? Either way now fixed.

Time machine allows only time capsule

I try to use a drive of another machine for backup. Time Machine has only one option, this is a time capsule. Since I don´t have it, I cannot backup my data. The option for Time Machine is being switched of everytime I try to select another drive.

Time Machine needs AFP file sharing, networked Mac running 10.5.6 or later and the Time Machine drive to be formatted with some flavor of Mac OS Extended with GUID partitioning.
Mac 101: Time Machine
Note: Every available disk that can be used to store backups is listed. If you’ve partitioned a disk, the available partitions are listed. Time Machine can’t back up to an external disk that's connected to an AirPort Extreme, or to an iPod, iDisk, or a disk formatted for Microsoft Windows (NTFS or FAT format). If you select an NTFS or FAT-formatted disk, Time Machine prompts you to reformat the disk. Choose a different disk or reformat the disk in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. Because reformatting erases any files on the disk, only do this if you no longer need the files or if you have copies of them on a different disk.
If your backup disk is on a network, the network server must use Apple File Protocol (AFP) file sharing and both your computer and the networked backup disk should have Mac OS X 10.5.6 or later installed.
The most common format for a Time Machine backup disk is Mac OS Extended format, but Time Machine also supports Mac OS Extended (Case sensitive, Journaled) and XSan formats.
If the disk is partitioned using the Master Boot Record (MBR) partition type, some partitions may not be available for use with Time Machine. The GUID Partition Table (GPT) or Apple Partition Map (APM) partition types are recommended.

Acrobat read-only error message

http://forums.adobe.com/message/4117896
Hello I am following on from a previously reported issue.
We have a client who are using Adobe Acrobat 9 and have .PDF's saved in a Share Folder. Is the creator of the document but is still faced with the read only prompt when trying to save the document after making an edit (e.g rotating). Upgrading to Adobe Acrobat 9 isn't an option.
Folder permissions in both Share and NTFS is okay.
User's profile has full control of the folder it is being saved in. I've also ensured the reading pane is Windows Explorer is off when they're opening it.
Have run a repair on Adobe Acrobat 9 and tried with other documents with the same result.
Saving locally does not have the same issue.
Please advise a solution for using .PDF for Adobe Acrobat 9 in a Share Folder environment.
Server is SBS2008 and user's PC is Windows 7 Professional.
Eagerly await a fix.

I am having the same issue. Acrobat X was working fine for me for months, then out of the blue, it starts having this problem TODAY! (There must be something about the month of November when people have this problem with Acrobat! )
Each time I open a PDF file in Acrobat and make an edit, (such as highlighting text or adding a link to a web page), I cannot save the file by the same name. I get the "read only" error message:
"The document could not be saved. The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder."
I installed the latest updates for Acrobat after this problem occurred, but the "read only" error message persists. In a previous thread, one person suggested turning off Acrobat's Protected Mode by going to Edit/Preferences/General and unchecking the Enable Protected Mode At Startup. I do not see this option in Acrobat X.
The only work-around I've found is to save the PDF file with a temporary name, then after making the edits in Acrobat, save the file as the original name that you wanted the file to be in the first place.
I'd rather not have to mess with work-arounds. I just want to make this problem go away. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!
regards,
ChristyGTWE
