  • Time Machine ejecting internal hard drive during backup

    I originally posted this in the Time Machine group. It was suggested I post to the Xserve group.
    We have an XSERVE running 10.6.4 server. It has 2 internal 1TB drives. The plan is to use one as the main drive and the second as a Time Machine backup. This used to work in 10.5, but since about 10.6.2 or so, it has not worked correctly.
    Time machine will come on, begin the backup, and then error off with a message that the drive has been ejected. I have erased the drive, but still no joy. I have partitioned the drive, still no joy. I have verified the drive repeatedly, and all is fine. I can copy files to and from the drive until the cows come home, and all works fine, which means I do not think it is the drive itself. Activate TM, however, and it will fail before the first backup is completed. The only way to get the drive back is to do a complete power down and then power up. Needless to say, that is not a good thing for a server that we rely on.
    Any ideas?

    No, it is not always at the same point/file/bytes transferred. It will vary from a few GB (say 3GB) to quite a few GB (say 30GB). I would add amongst the things I have done was to:
    Perform numerous Disk Utility Checks. Never any errors found.
    Erased the backup drive on multiple occasions. Double checked the GUID and format.
    Partitioned the drive and tried backing up to a new partition. (No joy there either)
    Copied lots and lots of data from the root disk to said partitions to test them. All went fine.
    It really is Time Machine that is causing the issue. I can use the drive all day long as long as TM does not run. When it does, I eventually get a failure message that the drive has been ejected.
    While I have not tried making a partition on the home drive (I'd rather not, lots of data there, make users mad, and since TM is not working, I have no backups at present), I do limit the data that is being backed up to JUST that of the system. /Users is being excluded at the moment. So I doubt there is anything out of the ordinary in the system. And, yes, I did a disk check on the root disk and all is fine there too.

  • Time Machine starts normally, then stalls and freezes iMac

    Hello.
    Time Machine always worked fine on this system.
    Now-it starts to back up, then freezes after about 45 mb. When this happens, the toolbar at the top of the screen ("File", etc.) disappears, I can't run any other functions, and have to push the power button to crash the system.
    I have:
    --deleted the time machine preferences file
    --turned off Virus Barrier background scanning
    --tried from scratch with a new back-up disc (same problem)
    --done all Software Updates
    --repaired permissions
    --booted up from the OS X disc, and "repaired disc" on the hard drive.
    --deleted "in progress" files on the back-up disc, and started over.
    I have seen others with what sounds like a similar problem, but I can't find a suitable solution among the discussions.
    Any help much appreciated.
    Thank you.

    On the MacBook, there was a specific file ("developer pckg") that was crashing back-up. I deleted the file, and I'm back in business.
    In the iMac, things seem more complicated, and additional attempts at back-up not only stall--they also freeze the whole computer.
    __At the start of the back-up the log reads:__

  • InDesign CS4 Mac starts but then freezes

    Indesign CS4 Mac starts up but freezes from there. Trying to open files or create new ones results in the filename appearing at the bottom of the Window drop-down menu, but the file doesnt appear on-screen.
    The same result occurs when opening files using "Open Recent File" as well as double-clicking the file in Finder or using "Open With" in FInder.
    It couldnt have picked a worse time to crap out - right in the middle of an urgent contract!! Dang Cleetus!!
    Any suggestions - apart from re-installing the program?
    Cheers,
    John

    Tried renaming InDesign Saved data and InDesign Defaults and restarting InDesign - that didnt seem to fix the problem -  after re-starting InDesign it seemed the program didnt write new versions of the files on re-start.
    Will head back to the office & connect to my 23" display & see if ID works OK with that - that would confirm that it's a screen pointing issue?
    Would re-installing ID help?
    Cheers,
    John

  • Applications start but then freeze with dreaded 'spinning wheel'

    Just lately I have been unable to import into iPhoto 5.0.4
    Camera is recognised. I click on Import and then only one or two pics are imported before there is a complete freeze. The spinning wheel just goes on spinning.
    When I try to stop import there is a very lengthy wait before the import appears to stop. I then try to drag the camera icon into reject but it does not work. I have to unplug the camera (dire threats of corruption etc) but so far images have been retained.
    Thereafter it is not always possible to Quit in normal fashion and I have to 'power off' on the computer.
    I have assumed this is an iPhoto issue but yesterday I came home to the evil spinning disc and my weekly automatic back-up in limbo. It had by then been going for eleven hours, so no question of impatience.
    I use SuperDuper and those nice people told me to shut down. Disconnect all periphials and reboot using the cloned Back-up after which try again.
    This worked but SuperDuper people told me I have one or two drive issues.
    Does this mean I am looking at a new machine.
    If anybody out there can help I will be extremely grateful.
    OSI.

    Sir.
    Would you kindly give me the benefit of your knowledge to put the finishing touches to this Post?.
    I shall get Disc W. soon, meanwhile the following is a mystery.
    My Mac HD is partitioned so that I have a CLONE in one and then separately a BACK-UP.
    The BACK-UP happens weekly automatically with SuperDuper. I have not bothered changing the CLONE.
    However in view of dire warnings about my HD I decided to update the CLONE so that everything current is secured.
    I then went to Disk Utility and tried again to repair the Mac HD. As before although the SMART status is Verified the previous issues remain, they are:-
    MacHD Invalid node structure, The vol MacHD needs to be repaired. Error 1HFS checked. Vol needs repair.
    Here is the mystery. I then tried the repair task on the LaCie external HD here I got the following messages:-
    THE VOL CLONE OF MAC APPEARS TO BE OK (mounting disc)
    THE VOL BACK-UP APPEARS TO BE OK (mounting disc)
    2 HFS VOLUMES CHECKED - *NO REPAIRS WERE NECESSARY.*
    Just to make certain I ran this twice with the same result,
    Question is ... Would I be taking a risk if if I
    did the procedure in reverse in an endeavor to get the "CLONED" version to replace the damaged version on the MacHD.
    In other words use SuperDuper Smart Update and switch the usual source/destination instruction to SOURCE 'Clone of MAC' ... DESTINATION 'MacHD'.
    This probably exposes my lack of understanding but I would be interested in your comments
    OSI.

  • HT4718 Recovery starts but then freezes before completing

    My new mac would not start after trying to load google earth.  At start up it would not get past the page with apple, nor would it start in sage ,ode.  Tried to reload lion from inter net.  It downloads and tries the reinstall but will not finish. 

    Contact Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine. That might also apply to new machines.

  • My 4th gen ipod won't backup after it froze during a software update to 4.3.5. I had to cancel the backup at the start of the update and now it won't let me backup to my computer, freezes during backup or says my backup is corrupted.

    I pressed 'X' during a backup after it froze during an update to software 4.3.5 and now it won't let me backup on my computer. Does anyone have any ideas? It either freezes during backup or says my 'backup is corrupted' or 'I cannot backup on my computer'. I have had to abort quite a few attempted backups since the initial problem, which I think has made it worse. I have already tried restoring my ipod, deleting the aborted backup from my preferences/devices in itunes and deleting it from my user/appdata/etc on my PC hard drive. Any ideas what to try next?

    After hours of frustration I eventually decided to restore. I lost my apps, but i didn't have many and was able to reinstall them for free. During the restore it updated my ipod to the latest software 4.3.5, which i think may have caused the initial problem, but the backup issue remains. Sometimes it stops me from syncing and other times it allows me to skip the backup, but still says that i can't backup on my computer. I'm worried that it has done something to my computer as it took me six hours to do a Bullguard scan, which only normally takes about an hour. The scan didn't come up with any viruses, but it stalled at system32 for ages. The only other thing that i can think of is that a demo CD I uploaded may have caused a problem. iTunes couldn't find a track listing for it but gave me a few different options. i thought I had to choose one to continue, so did that then changed the track details to the correct tracks. I'm now worried that may have introduced an issue or caused a glitch in iTunes. How paranoid am I sounding?  

  • Time Capsule crashes when Time Machine starts a backup

    I've not searched through the postings here to see if other people have seen a similar problem. I've not attempted to repeat the problem I've seen here so I'm not very clear about the cause.
    I'm using a MacBook Pro with OS 10.5.4 connected via a network cabled directly to a Time Capsule which is connected to a DSL/Cable modem. The Time Capsule is updated with v 7.3.2 of the firmware. I've got Time Machine enabled but I'm also using the Time Capsule disk (1TB) to store photos that I've previously archived to CD. I'm in the process of copying all the data from CD to the Time Capsule.
    Having copied some photo data to the Time Capsule I was trying out some photo cataloguing SW to see if it was any good (iPhoto is no good to me as I don't want to store photos on the local drive of my machine) - Kodak EasyShare v6.1. Having loaded some images into EasyShare I tried to use finder to search for the file names of some of the images to check that EasyShare was not copying images to my local drive. While I was doing this I think Time Machine tried to kick in and start doing a backup. I believe that Time Capsule crashed at this point. Finder froze and after I restarted it (via Force Quit not a re-boot) I discovered that I had no network connection and Mac OS couldn't see the Time Capsule under FInder or via AirPort Utility (the Time Machine backup also timed out and failed). Time Capsule just sat there with the disk spinning and a green light on the front as if all was OK. Actually - the disk just kept spinning (Time Capsule normally shuts down the drive after it is idle for a while). Because of this I'm pretty sure that Time Capsule had crashed.
    I experimented with re-booting my Mac but still no network etc so I tried power cycling the Time Capsule and everything came back to life.
    I'm guessing that my doing a search (or some other drive activity on Time Capsule) at the same time as Time Machine kicking in with a backup caused Time Capsule to crash.
    Perhaps this is not a very interesting point if this problem is not repeatable but - well, I'd be interested to know if others have seen similar behavior...

    I'm having a very similar problem and it is detrimental.
    Here is the scenario: I have a 1TB Time Capsule as my primary router. I am able to perform backups on all but one of my machines. My iMac backs up via 1GB ethernet to the TC, my MacBookAir (60GB,SS) backs up via wireless N (270mb) and my other MacBookAir (80GB,IDE) also backs up via wireless N without any problems.
    I used to use a 500mb external drive to backup my iMac but outgrew it, so I started backing up to the TC instead. No problems at all.
    I also used to back up my Intel MacMini running Mac OS X Server 10.5.5 to a similar external hard-drive but haven't in a while.
    I decided it finally made sense to backup ALL my Mac's to the same 1TB TimeCapsule but it's just not working out!
    On the MacMini; I turn on TimeMachine, the TimeCapsule has been chosen as a backup location, it prepares backup for a moment, mounts the backup drive and then appears to begin backup up... No...! First I get a message the the TimeCapsule closed the connection, next I lose Internet connection across my entire network both wired and wireless and then the TimeCapsule light turns amber, flashes and essentially does a completel crash / reset and then comes back to life a few moments later. I can backup any other computer except the MacMini to the TimeCapsule without "crashing" it and it makes no sense! Every computer is completely up to date with all the latest patches and the TimeCapsule is running 7.3.2
    I sure hope this gets resolved, seems like other people are pretty disgusted with the performance of the TimeCapsule with problems that have no resolution.

    If time machine puts all of my photos onto my external hard drive using time machine, can I then delete the photos from my computer but view them again from the external hard drive? Basically, can I free up space on my mac but not lose years of photos?

    To add to Niel's comment bear in mind that if you have a backup copy on an external HD and later delete the orignals on your Mac HD you will then only have one copy - so no backup.
    If the pictures are precious you should have at least two copies, and ideally another copy kept off site,

  • Is it possible to reinstall Mac OS X Lion on MacBook and then use Time Machine to restore to the previous backup I made before reinstalling Mac OS X Lion?

    Is it possible to reinstall Mac OS X Lion on MacBook and then use Time Machine to restore to the previous backup I made before reinstalling Mac OS X Lion?

    My MacBook was not normally booting up. It would turn on, make the Apple startup noise, and the bottom loading bar would progress just a little bit, then my MacBook would shut down. I tried rebooting it many times and the same thing would happen, it would just shut down. Then, I read that I can reset the PRAM (by holding Option+Command+P+R after the Apple startup noise comes). That worked, but now I get a screen that asks me to choose one of the 4 options (see:  http://images.macworld.com/images/article/2012/07/lionrecoveryutilities-289404.j pg). I choose Restore From Time Machine Backup, but it progresses to 17.6% and gets stuck there forever. I tried doing it again, and it got stuck at 17.6% again. That is why I am asking if I should just reinstall Lion, then restore a previous backup on the fresh new Lion?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads 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 login 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 the test.

  • Lose internet when time machine starts backup

    Title says it all. I lose internet connectivity (wireless) when time machine starts. If I turn airport on and off from the taskbar, it works and the backup completes itself.

    Me too!
    It used to work just fine, but ever since I upgraded to snow leopard, I was having these intermittent internet outages, and it was driving me crazy. I finally realized it was happening every time Time Machine would start up. I turned Time Machine off, and now my internet works just fine. But this is obviously not an ideal solution. I'm glad to see I'm not alone.
    Anyone else having this problem??
