TIME MACHINE TAKES ME TO FIRST BACK UP AND LAST BUT NOTHING IN BETWEEN

I have a TM dedicated drive, nothing else is on it. I have back ups from November to now. I can't get the computer to stop at any back up except the very last or very first one. If I want anything in between, how do I get to it?

Firstly, which backups you can navigate to depends on what is open when you invoke Time Machine. Assuming you have a folder open which is definitely present in all backups (like your desktop folder) can you see a time line on the right of the browser window with short horizontal lines representing all the separate stored backups? Are you saying that you can't click on any of those lines (and have anything happen) except the Present and the earliest backup?

  • Time machine takes days for first back-up

    I have a new WD my passport HD 2 GB for the time machine back-up. The first back-up of about 500GB takes 130 days!!! What is wrong?

  • Time Machine ERROR: Cannot complete FIRST back up

    Hello all.
    This is my sis's Mac mini, there was apparently a file or system corruption somewhere that it was not able to boot up, so send in for rescue and the tech was able to rescue all the users' data (sis & dad's)
    So Mac mini came home, I reformat the hard disk, ran Disk Utility check and everything OK, and install Leopard 10.5 and iLife 08, and updated them all. Newly-installed apps like Messenger and Skype etc, Time Machine was running OK till now.
    Then I started to move my sis's data (user) into the new folders - data of Mail, iTunes, iPhoto, Safari, etc. And TM starts to back up also, and here's where the problem begins:
    Time Machine fails to complete back up and give this message:
    _Time Machine Error_
    Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume. (OK button)
    Now this is quite obvious one or more files from the old user folder must be corrupted or "simply bad" that creating this problem. I am suspecting it may be the same problem that was preventing me from previously backing up using SuperDuper while the mini was still in Tiger.
    Is there a log file somewhere I can examine to find out which file to delete and not back up? Because the only other way is the start the mac afresh, but I am sure my sis wants her data back.
    Thanks and cheers

    I seem to be experiencing the exact same issue.
    1. I wiped my internal and external HDs and formatted them as MacOS X Extended (Journaled), as per instructions on Support Article: TS1550, with the correct partition schemes for a PowerPC processor.
    2. I re-installed MacOS X Leopard from DVD onto the internal HD, created a new admin account, ran Software Update to add all the patches. Re-installed all third party software.
    3. I re-created my user account using files restored from a DVD backup.
    4. Computer works well, just the same as it always did, except Time Machine cannot complete the first backup.
    I have added the +Time Machine Buddy+ widget and got the following report log:

    Any ideas?

  • Time machine takes 1 Month to back up 1TB. Is that normal?

    How long is Time Machine supposed to take to back up a 1 TB hard drive? It's telling me 30 days! Is that normal?

    How much data is on the 1TB hard drive? Is it full? Also, what type of external drive are you using?
    Regardless it def. should not take that long. Stop it, make sure all the SW is up to date and then give it another go.
    Regards,

  • My files say off line or missing. Its happened before and then I plug in my harddrive and their there. This time that didnt happen. I powered down and rebooted but nothing happened.

    please help

    You could start by telling us your operating system, and version of Lightroom.
    If you are on Windows, it is possible that the drive is assigned a different letter than before. If that's the case, then you simply need to change the drive letter back to whatever it was before.
    Otherwise, you would have to reconnect the photos in Lightroom using this method: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders

  • Time Machine takes very long time to back up with new large drive

    I started using Time Machine on my 17" MBP about a month ago. I was using a 250 GB Samsung drive. When I discovered that TM will back up other external drives (I have several firewire pocket drives), I purchased a 500 GB Cavalry drive with USB 2.0 and eSATA connections. The first backup of my MBP drive (about 85 GB) took several hours (4-6?). I backed up one of my pocket drives (about 60 GB), which took 3-4 hours. Then, when I changed the back-up drive in Time Machine to the new 500 GB drive with the eSATA connection, I stopped it after an hour, because only 2 GB had been backed up. I erased the drive and restarted using the USB connection. It backed up 3 GB in an hour. So, now I'm back to using the original back-up drive. I've performed benchmark tests on all drives (the Samsung 250, Cavalry USB and eSATA 500 GB, and the MBP internal drive) with Xbench. The USB speeds on the Samsung and Cavalry drives came out about the same with a slight edge to the Cavalry drive. The eSATA connection with the Cavalry drive operated at over twice the speed of the USB connections and at about twice the speed of the MBP internal drive (which is a 1.5 Gb/s SATA drive). Basically, I can't figure out why Time Machine takes so incredibly long to back up when I switched to the new drive. Any ideas?
    Jeff

    It took me 20 hours to backup 32GB out of 65. I don't know why. Using carbon copy clone to download to another backup drive I did it perfectly in about 30 minutes. I expect that those appllications which show applicatiions are at fault and will try later getting rid of apps such as F-10 and pathfinderfor the first download. I have no idea why this is so slow. Everything is so slow.

  • I recovered my back up via a wired connection. now Time Machine does not recognise older back ups wirelessly and wants to do a first back up

    I recovered a back up from my time machine via a wired connection after getting the 'white screen of death'. Now Time Machine does not recognise any back ups on the time machine when connected wirelessly and wants to do a first back up of the whole machine. How do I get my mac to recognise these older back ups? It connects to the wifi network the time machine creates fine, with the same name and password.

    I recommend the following.
    1. Reset the TC to factory.
    Universal Factory Reset.. any model TC or AE.
    Unplug your TC/AE from power or turn off at the power point.
    Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on..  all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. (this is often difficult without a 2nd person or a 3rd arm).
    Release it when the status light flashes rapidly. If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have missed it and try again.
    Note..
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations of the router.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk in a TC.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
    2. Rename the TC to SMB standard.
    That means short names.. 2-20 characters but less than 10 is excellent. eg TCGenx (use number for x that is actual generation of the TC)
    No spaces.
    Pure alphanumeric. No apostrophe.
    3. Ensure IPv6 is set to link-local..
    Do the same thing for ethernet if that is used.
    4. Manually mount the TC disk in Finder.
    Use Go in the top menu.. connect to server.
    Type in
    AFP://TCname.local (where TCname is your new short name for the TC and local is default domain .. it helps using the domain I found).
    You will then find the computer either can or cannot find the network resource.. if it fails something else is wrong with the actual network and you will need to fix that.
    It will request the password if it is found.. password is public by default unless you changed it.. type in the password and check to keep it in your keychain.
    5. Delete current TM setup and redo it with the newly named TC.
    See A4 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    If your backups cannot be found, try B6 again, now that you actually know that the disk has been properly discovered.

  • How much space does time machine take up on hard drive?

    Can anyone let me know how much hard drive space time machine takes up?

    Hi, and welcome to the forums.
    Time Machine keeps copies of everything on your system (except a few things like system work files, most caches and logs, and trash), so the first backup will be a bit smaller than the amount of data on your system.
    Subsequent backups will copy things you've added or changed, but doesn't delete the copies of the old versions, or of things you've deleted, so you can restore them if you find you've deleted or changed something in error, or something has gotten corrupted. Thus Time Machine will need considerably more space. IIn most cases, it won't delete it's copies until it runs out of room.
    It varies depending on how you use your Mac, but a "rule of thumb" is, it needs 2-3 times the space of the data it's backing-up to be able to keep a reasonable "depth" of backups for you.
    You might want to review the [Time Machine Tutorial|http://www.apple.com/findouthow/mac/#timemachinebasics] and perhaps browse [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum).

  • Time Machine takes up space on SSD

    Hey guys,
    First I wanna apologize if this has been addressed, I tried looking for it with no avail. Anyway, I had set up a NAS using my router, but it was formatted in NTFS so my Windows 8 laptop can use it as well.
    Well after learning about the OWC SSD upgrade for the Macbook Pro Retina I decided that maybe I should purchase it, but I'll need to create a Time Machine back up so if I wanna restore it to the new SSD I can do so easily. I'm still unsure about the entire process, but I hope to learn it before I progress. I talked with both Apple and OWC and turns out this upgrade doesn't void any warranties, either from Apple care or origninal warranty as long as it's installed properly.
    Anyway, after transferring everything from my external HDD to my SSD, I reformatted it to Mac Journaled then transferred everything back to the external HDD. Then I started my time machine backup.
    After that completed, I unplugged it and carried on with my day. After restarting my computer I looked at my storage space and to my shock and dismay, I had over 100 GBs being taken up for 'backups' on my primary SSD and I couldn't figure out how to get rid of it.
    By luck I turned off time machine and turned it back on and all that space was given back to me. I did another time machine backup several hours later and noticed 40 GBs were take up. Did the same thing (turning off and back on time machine) and the space was returned to me.
    Basically why is this happening? Why is my internal SSD storing backups? Is this normal, should I ignore it and the system will remove this as needed? Or is it common practice to turn off and on the time machine to return that space back to me.
    Thanks for the help and deeper understanding.
    vahdyx

    It's normal. Time Machine now stores local snapshots on portable Macs. The space used by backups is only used if there's space to do so - if you need the space for other file storage, they will be automatically deleted.

  • Time Machine: why doesn't it back up Applications?

    I have nothing excluded in Time Machine Preferences.
    My backup external drive failed about a year ago: I replaced it and backups continued.
    Had to restore an application recently: found the applications folder in Time Machine was empty, however far back I went.
    Does Time Machine know that I replaced the backup drive? If not, perhaps /applications has not been backed up since nothing has changed since I replaced the drive - ? But I have been told that the backup information is stored on the backup drive, so Time Machine should know that the drive was replaced and do a full backup as the first one - ?
    If that is the problem, how do I force Time Machine to do a full backup?

    the last iPhone update said that it "significantly reduced" the back-up time for the iPhone, and for a while it did. I've noticed it get steadily longer and longer to where now i am having the same issue you are, it taking forever to backup even if it's just a standard sync. It's possible that the different applications that are on the phone, especially if they take a lot of memory and/or use a lot of the phone's RAM may cause the backup to take a lot longer than intended, but that's just my guess.

  • Time Machine backup slow (not first backup) - Why?

    Hi, I recently purchased a new 3TB backup drive to backup my iMac system (10.9.4).
    I set up a Time Machine backup of my system + external HD, and began scheduled backups about a week ago. As expected the first backup took several hours (overnight) since it was backing up  nearly 1TB of data. Subsequent backups were fast and everything seemed fine.
    Then, last night I ran a backup and Time Machine began to copy ALL the data again. The backup took 6-7 hours. Why would it do this if it uses a cumulative system where most of the data is already on the backup drive? Did this occur because I manually started the backup (by selecting"Back Up Now" in Time Machine on the toolbar). Or is something wrong?
    Thanks
    Tom

    Open Time Machine Preferences>click "Select Disk">click on the appropriate TM disk under the bottom window titled "Available Disks." Force a backup and see if it works. If this doesn't fix it reboot your iMac and/or Time Capsule and try forcing a backup again once the iMac and/or TC have fully booted up.

  • Since installing Lion, I have not been able to utilize Time Machine (does not recognize the back-up drive); my wireless mouse does not function properly; I have experienced unreasonable delays in the system.  Is there a fix or upgrade coming?

    Is there a fix or upgrade to deal with the many problems I am experiencing since I installed Lion?  I can no longer utilize Time Machine (Does not see the back-up drive); my wireless mouse does not work properly; my iMac has slowed down considerably.  I am reminded of having a PC machine again.  Bummer!

    Either downgrade to Snow Leopard or try reinstalling Lion.
    Reinstalling Lion Without the Installer
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alterhatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.
    Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
    1.  Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

  • Where are my photos?  just tried to access time capsule after my first back up and am unable to open iphoto to verify they were backed up.

    where are my photos?  just tried to access time capsule after my first back up and am unable to open iphoto to verify they were backed up.

    You can't open your backups directly with apps.
    But you can see some types of files in your backups.  If you're still on Snow Leopard (or Lion with iPhoto '09 or earlier), see the gray box at the end of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #15.
    If you're on Lion with iPhoto '11, you can use the Finder to see the iPhoto library, per the beginning of that same link.  All you can see there is the library and size.
