Time Machine still running even though it is switched of.

I just did a fresh install of SL. I have sleeping problems (my MBP that is ☺ ) and in trying to solve this I switched TM of to see if this is he culprit.
Having done this it just keeps running as if it was switched on. Any suggestions how to fix?

Huh? What password? What are you backing-up to? Something on a network?
yes!
What?
And what, exactly, is the message?
If it's a Time Capsule, your keychain may be corrupted. From Keychain Access, select +Keychain First Aid+ and repair it.
That setting is not in the /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist. It's in one of the +Launch Daemons.+
oeps! but you said above:
That sounds like the preferences file is corrupted. Try a "full reset" of Time Machine, per #A4 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting (or use the link in User Tips at the top of this forum).
Correct. The file there is /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist. It has the destination, exclusions, and various other things, but does not contain the interval.
No such Launch Daemon in /Library/LaunchDaemons
Also correct. There are four of them, in System/Library/LaunchDaemons. Do NOT fool with them unless you know exactly what you're doing.

Time Machine Backup Failed even though I still have 1.9TB of a 2TB Time Capsule. I am using Yosemite.

Time Machine Backup Failed even though I still have 1.9TB of a 2TB Time Capsule. I am using Yosemite 10.10.3 on an iMac (mid 2010)

The recent update in Yosemite (10.10.3) is causing some issues for some users.
Try a complete network power cycle as follows:
Power off each and every device on your network......modem, Time Capsule, computers, printers, etc......in any order that you want
Wait a minute
Power up the modem and let it run 2-3 minutes
Then, power up the next device that is connected to the modem an let it run a full minute
Then, continue to power up devices one at a time about a minute apart until everything is back up
Check the network
Wait for a backup to occur and report on your results

Will Time Machine Still Back Up if Macbook Pro is Closed?

I'm wondering if time machine wil still back up my files if I close the lid of my Macbook Pro? I've thought about getting a program called "Caffine", which keeps the screen running indefinitely in order to keep process running. I could just run that, and then dim the screen to conserve power. However, I'd like to avoid this if possible, as I'm sure in the long run it might be taxing on the backlight. So I want to know if I close the lid, will time machine still run? Or do processes stop when you close it?
I should mention I'm not backing up to an actual Time Machine, but rather to a 1 TB external HD.

Power Nap?
Yes. Power Nap did not exist two years ago, in early 2012, when this topic was last active. Now, hardware compatible with Power Nap will back up, among other things, while sleeping. See:

How can i delete an app on my desktop that says it won't delete because it's still open, even though i have done force quit numerous times.

How can i delete an app on my desktop that says it won't delete because it's still open, even though i have done force quit numerous times? I even deleted it's files in my Finder and it just won't go away. Help please!! TIA

Restart the computer then delete it.
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
    1. AppZapper 2.0.1
    2. AppDelete 3.2.6
    3. Automaton 1.50
    4. Hazel
    5. AppCleaner 2.1.0
    6. CleanApp
    7. iTrash 1.8.2
    8. Amnesia
    9. Uninstaller 1.15.1
10. Spring Cleaning 11.0.1

My iphone time keeps messing up even though its on "set automatically" and i dont know how to fix it

my iphone 5cs' time keeps messing up even though its set to "set automatically" the time doesnt change and i have no idea how to fix it. any help please?

I'm having the EXACT same problem! I have a great wifi connection and it all started right after I updated it.
I took it to the AT&T store and all they said that they could do for it was a "soft restart" which is where you hold down the lock button and the home button UNTIL you see the apple logo. And I did this like 4 times and it still messes up. When I turn it off and turn it on its fine for a few minutes but it slowly starts messing up again.
And I'm also having several glitches. Like when I just received a text message when my phone was locked I slid it and put in my pass code then it like turned off and turned on my phone. And sometimes the messages that I send disappear from my side even though I sent them. If I turn it off then back on it's there. And also sometimes when I text a person and hit send it like backs me out of the messaging system(it still sends the message right then) and back to the home screen.
I called 1-800-myiphone and the lady did a "soft restart" which they call a "hard restart" and it worked for like 35 minutes and then it messed up again. And my iCloud isn't backing up my stuff so it's not like I can just completely reset my phone.

Time Machine STILL backs up while in sleep

Time Machine STILL backs up my drive to an external drive while in sleep, despite many Apple KB articles to the contrary and 2 conversations with Geniuses saying it shouldn't either. Why?
I have turned of "wake for network access" under energy settings as recommended, but that didn't help either.
But if I open the external drive's backup folder there's a new folder for every hour in the last 24 hours, even if the computer had been asleep the whole time.
IMac is now on Mountain Lion, but it did the same under Lion as well.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

Yeap that all makes sense now.
Do you only have the current backup showing in the TM display?? Won't it fill in the rest?
Over wireless are you waiting for the indexing to finish.. ??
Previous backup may not show for a couple of hours.
Long short of it.. Mavericks version of TM is a pain.
Sometimes it is easier to completely ignore the TM backup and do the restore manually.
I have posted the details here. See if this helps.

If i move itune to external drive does time machine still have backup?

if i move itune to external drive does time machine still have backup?
I just moved my itunes off my macbook pro because it was taking up too much space and put it on an external hard drive. i have a second external hard drive that i use for time machine. when i update time machine next will my itunes files be removed from the backup since they are no longer on my internal hard drive (what time machine backs up?) basically, i want to make sure i have a second copy of my itunes besides the one on my first external hard drive and i was wondering if time machine will still have all of that data (on the second external hard drive).
i cant find this answer anywhere!!! thanks so much!!!

Check to see whether or not it's excluded in the Time Machine pane of System Preferences.
Items deleted from the hard drive won't be deleted from the backup until the backup location runs out of space.

How Can I Speed Up My MacBook When Time Machine is running on Time Capsule

My Macbook starts to run really slow and I consistenly get the color wheel when trying to do other tasks when Time Machine is running in the background. I am connected to Time Machine on a Time Capsule. Given this runs every hour its really annoying.

Plus to pondini..
If possible you can use ethernet.. that speeds things up greatly.
If you are close to the TC make sure it is connecting via the 5ghz wireless.. Check the actual wireless link speed. And transfer rates.. if rates are too slow.. then look at relocating the wireless or putting in some sort of wireless extender.
I guess the other question is what is slow.. the disk on the computer, internet, just overall feel of the computer.. perhaps give a specific.. what is slow.

HT201250 once time machine starts running, it never stops. what could cause this?

Using WD, My Passport for Mac, 2TB with Time-Machine. Updated software on MacBook, now once time machine starts running an update it does not stop untill cancel it!

1. The first time takes very long always, after that it will only do changes very hour and you will not notice it. The drive must be correctly formatted, Guid Partition Table, Mac Os Extended (journaled).
2. If you installed any of the 'smart' software that came with the disk (specifically with the WD disk), you have to uninstall it completely immediately, because it will cause data loss and speed at the minimum: in macs you do not not need such additional software, just make sure that the disk is correctly formatted. If you had such software installed, and now uninstalled, you better reformat the drive, restart the mac, and then start all over again with TM.

How can I get my time machine to allow me to recover files again? After upgrading to OS X, the time machine still backs up the files; but, I'm not able to navigate within the time machine or select any folders or files for restore.

I don't know exactly what the issue is, but I think I do. Are you talking about what happens when you start up your MBP, full brightness, with power cable in - and when you're using battery only, the brightness dims? If so, this is a feature designed to make sure your monitor is bright enough while using batteries - but not so bright as to cause an undue drain on power.
I don't know about a cure to this issue, if indeed this is what you're talking about.

Time Machine still not recommended for Aperture?

Is Time Machine still not recommended for the lastest version of Aperture (1.5.6)?
This support article ( http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306853 ) does not clarify.
Thanks for the advice!

Time machine still doesn't work with 10.5.2

After loading 10.5.2 I find that Time Machine still doesn't work with a new Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS) and USB drive although I was reassured by my local Apple retail store that the fix was in the update. I should have known better. <Edited by Moderator>

Can you explain what archive and install is please?
I am having the same problem. Automator as soon as it starts crashes.
I have tried reinstalling from the OS disk, repairing permissions and none of them work.
Many Thanks
Dafydd
