Time Machine to another mac does not work

Hi,
I am experiencing a really huge problem with my time machine backup.
Setup:
I want to backup my Macbook onto a external hard drive connected to my Macmini. Both are connected to my Airport extreme. AFP on the Macmini is enabled and I am able to access the drive on the Macbook.
If I mount the backup drive before starting the backup manually I have these errors in my system.log:
Aug 9 13:30:27 danst /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[237]: Backup requested by user
Aug 9 13:30:27 danst /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[237]: Starting standard backup

Aug 9 13:30:35 danst /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[237]: Backup failed with error: 19
If I do not mount the drive first I get the following errors:
Aug 9 13:32:34 danst /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[237]: Backup requested by user
Aug 9 13:32:34 danst /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[237]: Starting standard backup

Aug 9 13:32:42 danst /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[237]: Backup failed with error: 19
I am really unhappy with this it would be great if somebody could help me.

That's great. Now I need to troubleshoot why only the Mac directly connected to my back up drive will work. The other macs will not let me select it...
Does it have to use the GUID partition Map? I have two USB drives connected now and the one I am using for Time Machine is not showing up as a valid drive for TM. THe other drive is though.
What did you end up doing to finally get it to work?

After a restore from Time Machine my login password does not work.

My HD crashed and I replaced the HD. I then restored from Time Machine. After it was done restoring it prompted me for my apple ID and password and account info. Now when I try to login, the password does not work. After several failed passwords, it says I can reset my password using my apple ID. How do you do this? I click on the message and it just disappears. I can't login!

Is it your actual Apple ID login password that you're talking about (which is obviously working since you got into this forum) or the password for your user account. If the latter, simply boot to your ML Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and set a new password via Terminal.
Boot into your Recovery partition and, from the Utilities menu, open Terminal. In Terminal, type in:
resetpassword
...a small app will run allowing you to select a user and change the password for that use. Enter the new password twice (the second time to verify) and give yourself a password 'hint'. Then reboot and use your new password on your account.

Can I access my Time Machine from another mac?

My current mac (an iBook G4, early 2005) has I think died irreparably. I'm waiting to see if it can be repaired but in the meantime I'd like to know if I can plug my Time Machine into another Mac (either a friend's or a family member's, both have 2006 MacBooks) and be able to access my stuff? I read elsewhere in the forum that this was possible if you were setting up a new mac, but I won't be able to buy a new computer for a while and need quite badly to be able to get at my documents.

yes, it's possible. plug it into the other computer. control-click on TM inthe dock and choose" browse other Time Machine disks".

Accidentally removed from,sharing and permissions the admin user,and now i do not when i find the home icon at my computer i do not have permmission,and the mac does not works properly,lots of question mark at the dock ,please help

I'm going to assume that since you deleted your hard drive and all its files, you had a backup, yes? If the backup has an OS (bootable clone), then you can boot into it by holding down the option key when you start up you iMac and choose the backup drive. Then use Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper to copy the files back to your iMac.

Time machine says restore target does not have enough space, but not true

I have a PowerMac G5 Tower with Dual 1.8Ghz, 3GB Memory.
The internal system disk is a WD 1TB(931.4GB) disk, but it has serious volume structure errors that are not recoverable with First Aid or Micromat TechTool. The 1TB disk was only about 1/3 full(~350GB used).
Fortunately, I have been using time machine since July, using the exact same type of disk(WD 1TB), which is external..
I installed another external 1TB that is exactly the same as the original system disk(WD 1TB - 931.3GB).
I am able to select the backup source of the original disk from the time machine disk, but when I select the destination(new 1TB disk which is completely empty and reformatted), I get the following error:
-"This volume does not have enough space to restore your system"
I don't get it.....the original and new disks are exactly the same size. In fact the time machine disk is also the same WD 1TB disk. Realistically, only 350GB should only be needed anyhow...
Please help....
Thanks,
Phil

Apple phone support recommended that I install Leopard on the replacement disk, boot from it, then use the 'transfer data from time machine backup option'. This worked, but takes an hour longer because I have to install an OS. I am in the process of transferring 337GB of data to the new disk using this method(system is estimating this takes about 8 hours, so I am sending this note before it completes). This further verifies that there was plenty of space on the 1TB replacement, despite the error message.
The new replacement disk I chose was an internal Seagate SATA disk. I was wrong in the previous note, the original internal system disk that had the volume corruption was also a Seagate SATA disk, not WD(though, the external 1TB was a WD). I did duplicate the bug mentioned in this bug with this disk before I installed the OS, so the problem had nothing to do with Seagate vs. WD, or internal vs. external. I booted from the replacement, then used the setup assistant to transfer data from a time machine backup.
In summary, there definitely is a bug in the time machine restore option: Time machine reports that there is not enough space to recover, despite the fact that it had a full 1TB clean, and newly reformatted space. I duplicated the error at least 6-7 times, during the course of troubleshooting, with different replacement 1TB disks(WD and Seagate), Internal/External disks, Firewire, USB, and SATA connect.
This is very nerve-wracking, as the restore is the major reason we do backups. How could apple have missed this one?
For what it is worth, I spent ALOT of time on this, because I also ran into the bug that WD external disks(firewire and USB) are not bootable on Power PC systems(this is of course a WD issue....).

Taking Z1 back to shops!! going back to Apple: Sony Bridge for Mac does not work

Been an Iphone owner. really, really wanted to try a good android phone, and the z1 looked the best. However
I have had the most frustrating experience- this junky bridge software looks slick but it simply does not work on a mac .
I have spent nearly a week mucking around on forums, reading technical 'get arounds' this is a £600 phone and its not good enough. It might be Apples fault for being so locked down, but sony should not claim it works when it has so many issues.
1) it spent 3 days trying to load my media. It eventually got stuck on 10 min remaining. I pulled the cable.
no contacts had even been added, however 1/2 the photos have, but they are a little jumbled up from when they were on my iphone.
2) i try to download the lastest sony for Mac update 3 times- it cant even do this and gets stuck
3) i then try to update the z1 with the latest software, again this also it gets stuck and hangs. OMG how can i update my software, do i have to buy a PC to go with the phone.
im annoyed now and cant play with my new phone
4) connect phone again and just ask it to do my notes, messages and contacts. This seems to work , but all the messages to my Girfriend are completley missing?? why?
5) i try to load a few folders, the pictures on the bridge pop up window seem to freeze , ai cant even drag these across, the same happens with my music
6) i have a lot of photos on my mac form my iphone 3000. If i choose to load them it only allows me to load all of them and not browse.
can i avoid bridge and view my z1 as a drive? also why wont any of the software update?
the next thing is it seems to have infected teh mac, the new version f itunes will not install correctly!! this is very unusual.
some one please helpme before i rant in my blog!

Hi Inventsc,
I apologize for the late answer. I'm sorry you haven't had a pleasant experience using Bridge. We are aware of the problems you mention and are working on it. As mentioned, you can connect your phone in MSC (mass storage mode). To do this, disconnect the phone, find USB connectivity settings and set it to MSC mode before plugging it in again.
Again, I am sorry it's not working properly for you.
Best Regards,
David

Mac os 10.4.10 software update problem -- my mac does not work anymore :(

hello!
i have a powerbook G4- PPC. just today, i did a software update of my OS to 10.4.10 (it was the available update version according to the automatic uptae) and during the final stage of the installation, it says "a problem was encountered...installation package is moved to trash"
when i browsed my mac, my apps does not work anymore!!! they just bounce from the dock when i clicked it but it won't open any window. i emptied the trash and restarted my mac but sadly, it just boot but won't continue to the log in part, only in the silver window with the apple logo and mac os x tiger... and the mouse just turns into the color wheel. i waited for 30 mins and nothing happened.
i don't have a startup disc because the mac is a gift and it was long time ago. is ther a software i can use to fix or revert the changes of the unsuccessful OS update? why is there always a problem when i do OS update? isn't apple software stable?
My mac problems' driving me crazy!!!

There are no guarantees, but following this procedure when installing updates and upgrades on your Mac will go a long way towards avoiding unpleasant after effects and ‘post-update stress disorder’.
It is also worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
So before you do anything else:
If you can, make a full backup first.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.4.9 to 10.4.10. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
Now proceed as follows:
4. Close all applications.
5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them 10.4.10. compliant. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.

BB desktop for Mac Does not work Curve and G5 OSX 10.5

The RIM software simply does not work very well. I will keep it to update software, but as a product to sync my data between my BB and my 2 macs, it simply does not do what is needed.
Sync did not move the Address Book groups data over. The groups moved to the BB, but the groups were empty. Most of the address book contacts did have the group information in each file, but I could not filter by group as each group was empty. Also, a disturbing number of entries were duplicated, with the duplicated entries missing the group information.
The sync from the iCal application did not seem to go very well either as I received error messages on my Mac.
I am disappointed that RIM would not have a 32 bit version available for OS 10.2 - 10.5 and a 64 bit version for 10.6
I am surprised and disappointed that RIM would release a product with less functionality than the Mark/Space offering, and have a lack of bluetooth syncing.
I have gone back to "The Missing Sync" as that product does work and their support is very good. Unfortunately I had to play around with setting up a test account with no data in iCal and Address Book to zero out the errors that the RIM product put into my BB. I then had to do a second overwrite, this time with my main Mac account and my iCal and Address Book data.
My BB is back to running and syncing, but not on the RIM software.
I hope that RIM will revisit the Mac software and provide a product that answers the needs of the Mac community.

Time Machine - What goes in does not come out

Time Machine seems to be quite adept at backing up. If I change a file it seems to figure it out and backs it up. But when I try to use the Time Machine application to restore it is quite confused. It goes into Star Wars mode but fails to "see" any history!
What could be the problem?

Pondini,
I know there is some relationship between my iMac's MAC and the sparsebundle. But how does TM on the iMac know the file name and location?
It varies, unfortunately, between Leopard and Snow Leopard.
In Leopard, the MAC address is included in the name of the sparse bundle; for sparse bundles created by Snow Leopard, it's in a file inside the sparse bundle, but outside the disk image.
Even if I mount a sparsebundle how does TM on my Mac know to use it for backup and/or restore?
It will only use it for backups if it matches your Mac's MAC address.
If you normally back up to an external HD connected to a Time Capsule or another Mac, then connect the drive directly to your Mac, Time Machine will continue backing-up to it. But the Time Machine display doesn't expect a sparse bundle on a locally-connected drive, and won't display it unless you mount it first.
In your situation you shouldn't have to mount it manually; it's worth a try so we can figure out what's wrong. You might even need the +*Browse ...+* option to see it.

Downloading "devicetool.jar" to my Mac does not work

I just received the palm pixi plus, it is from at&t, but I need it Unblocked because I live abroad and have no data plan in the USA, so I'm following the instruction from:
https://developer.palm.com/content/resources/develop/developing_on_an_unactivated_device.html
    Download the activation-bypass tool, which is available here, and save it in the location of your choice.
    Boot your device into recovery mode, as described above.
    Run the activation-bypass tool from the command line by issuing the following command: java -jar devicetool.jar
When I download the devicetool.jar to my MacBook, it does not work, it download as a folder, and I cannot run the activation-bypass tool
How can I solve this issue?
Is it a problem of the devicetool.jar for the Mac?

Hi, thanks for your answer. YES I do have JAVA SE6 in my MacBook, and once I download the devicetool.jar it opens with a Jar Launcher (13.6.0) and the StuffIt Expander, but opens as a Folder (with 3 folders inside: com, org, META-INF) and I cannot execute the devicetool.jar
Sounds like StuffIt Exander is opening the file. I don't own a Mac, so I don't know how to do this, but can you force the file to open with another application (maybe control clicking on it and selecting Open With) Then choose the Jar Launcher?

WF initiator in another client does not work

Hi,
I have created my WF and the first step is a user decision (yes/no). In this I use the &_WF_INITIATOR& as the addresse of the WI. It works fine in the development client but not in another client and I wonder why.
When I check the protocol, system is telling me that there´s no agent available which is not true. I see in the container USxxxxxx and I also created an object in the container for passing the user name like USxxxxxxx and nothing. It does not work.
What could the problem be ??
Thanks

Hi,
I double-checked the task and it it general. I also checked the log for the step and there´s no WFINITIATOR nor WIACTUAL_AGENT.
In the technical details I see that the workflow´s container has the WFINITIATOR with USxxxxxx and in the next step (user decision) there´s no such information nor WIACTUAL_AGENT. Based on this I corrected my WF for passing WFINITIATOR to WIACTUAL_AGENT in the step (using the data flow).
The above does not work. I see now in the technical details USxxxxxx for WIACTUAL_AGENT in the step but the protocol still tells me that there´s to agent.
Any ideas ??

Syncing mail between macs does not work (go daddy account)

I upgraded to Lion on both - my Mac Pro and Macbookpro. I have a go daddy mail account that I switched recently from pop to - imap. I had already problems when I set it up the port numbers that godaddy provided - mail did not work at all (receiving or sending). I am using now "default port" no SSL for outgoing server and in advanced 143, no SSL. I am able to send and receive emails but since I upgraded to Lion syncing does not work well. For example I delete an email on the macpro and it still shows up on the laptop. I read in the forum and changed settings ( like uncheck "move/store deleted messages", changed ports back and forth) still not working. Am also using an ipad and 2 iphones but the computers are priority.
Support from apple told me it is not their problem. Go daddy says the same.

Gmail has its own application you can install to access your Gmail account - it's really good, and will let you view by inbox/starred/labels etc.
Well worth getting:
Gmail Mobile
Not sure whether it works with the E61, but it's worth a try - I really do much prefer it to the pop3 access that's built in for gmail
