Time Machine user interface broken after PowerMac G5 replacement

My PowerMac G5 tower recently experienced a disaster. I was able to replace the unit with a very similar unit, and moved in my hard drive. It's working great.
I've been using an external hard drive for Time Machine backups.
I decided after moving in to the "new" G5 to hook up my external drive and do another incremental backup.
I received the error messages that are associated with a different motherboard - the backups are associated with the old logic board's MAC address.
Apparently there is a relatively easy way to fix this with Snow Leopard and later - a terminal command called tmutil.
Not so in Leopard.
I found the following thread at Mac OS X Hints, and spent quite some time reading it: http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20080128003716101
I felt somewhat intimidated by all the tinkering with extended attributes, and opted to use a link from the thread which lead me to a script that would automate the process.: http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20081216145458979
I ran the script, it gave no error messages, and reported that the previous backups had been succesfully inherited to the new computer and Time Machine.
I can now run Time Machine, it does incremental backups, and if I boot the computer from my Leopard DVD, I can do a full restore to various points in time.
However, the Time Machine GUI application is "broken".  There is no past. The only time available is NOW, even though there have been 2 or 3 recent backups, and many before then.  There is no way to roll back in time, choose a file or folder and restore it.
Summary: Time Machine is creating backups, and the Leopard DVD  believes it could restore the whole hard drive with them. But the handy user interface is useless - for all users.
I am very close to doing a complete scorched earth reset and simply begin doing Time Machine all over again, just to get the user interface to work.
Any suggestions?

Actually, not Snow Leopard.  It's on Lion and later.

Sounds like the hack is, well, like most, a faulty one.
It's barely possible it's somehow confused Time Machine into treating each backup as being on a separate drive, and only the most recent is connected.  You might be able to see the old ones via the procedure in #E3 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting, but that's not going to have the result you want.

That's probably best.

  • Time Machine backups extremely slow after hard drive replacement

    I'm having trouble with Time Machine backups following a hard drive replacement. The Apple Store replaced my MacBook Pro's damaged hard drive three days ago and I successfully restored my system (OSX 10.6.8) using a Time Machine backup. The computer is running fine now, but ever since the repair my Time Machine back-ups take a very long time (>2 hours per backup, versus 30-60 seconds before the repair). I know that the intiial backup of a new computer can take a while but I'm now onto complete backup #10 since the repair and they are not getting quicker. I'm not adding/changing many files or software in between backups. The backups appear to be successful but the external hard drive and computer fan are running nearly constantly, which is concerning (and annoying). Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks.

    Peruse Pondini's TM FAQs, for information.

  • Concerns ALL Time Machine Users. HOW TO MOVE Time Machine backups. Help !

    Concerns ALL Time Machine Users :
    MOVE (or COPY) Time Machine backups from a "x"To Disk to an "y"To greater disk.
    Hello and thank you all for reading me,
    First, excuse me if I make language errors (I'm French).
    Secundo, I don't know if you'll find something interesting for you
    in what I write about Time Machine and my own problems,
    but there's a possibility also that YOU could perhaps help me.
    I'm talking about Time Machine and his **** Backups.backupdb folder,
    containing "*Name of your Mac*" folder,
    this folder containing Time Machine backups, format : YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS
    Time Machine doesn't recognize the backups it made *IF YOU MOVE THEM*.
    I have perhaps a solution in this message.
    You'll see below what kind of problem I (and you could) have.
    Since 12/01/10, an Apple Adviser Level Two (and me)
    are trying to understand how to move backups from TM1To Disk to, let's say, a bigger one.
    My case is TM1,5To.
    *Purpose :* Move 19 backups from Time Machine X disk to Time Machine Y disk.
    Delete TMX disk Time Machine backups after that.
    Make TMY disk the current used Time Machine Disk.
    I don't remember exactly what we did before
    (we even created a "root" account with password (dangerous to do),
    but it didn't solve the problem),
    but we finally copied :
    TM1To > Backups.backupdb > *MacBook Pro* folder (containing 19 backups) into :
    TM1,5To > Backups.backupdb folder.
    The Copy application announced *16 hours !* (without antivirus, to remove absolutely).
    So I said goodbye and thank you to my Apple Adviser. After *8 hours*, Copy failed.
    BUT it had succeeded to copy *4 backups ONLY* (why ?) in TM1,5To.
    I immediately verified and checked each of these with Get Info.
    They had EXACTLY the same size (Byte to Byte) as in TM1To.
    ➔ BUT HERE IS MY OBSERVATION :
    After designing TM1,5To as Time Machine Disk, I ordered it to Backup (now).
    And what did Time Machine do in TM1,5To > Backups.backupdb ?
    It created a *NEW folder*, named *MacBook Pro 2* !
    ➔ *I HAVE NO ACCESS* to TM1,5To > Backups.backupdb > *MacBook Pro* (4 backups copied from TM1To, remember) ;
    ➔ while I still *HAVE ACCESS* to TM1To > Backups.backupdb > *MacBook Pro* (19 backups) ;
    ➔ *AND I HAVE ACCESS* to TM1,5To > Backups.backupdb > *MacBook Pro 2*,
    where Time Machine makes actually his backups.
    *NOTE :* If you *change the name* of your computer,
    Time Machine *changes automatically the name* of the folder who is in Backups.backupdb folder.
    ➔ ① I have *never seen* such protections (Sharing and Permissions).
    You are not allowed to do anything. I've tried to change permissions,
    first : "R+W", after that : "Make (Me) the owner", I can tell you : DON'T DO IT !
    ➔ ② It's impossible to install an OS on a Time Machine disk
    (I thought it would allow better permissions).
    OS Installer detects the existence of a Backups.backupdb folder
    and refuses to install on this disk or partition.
    I have now the bad intent to install minimal OS X
    1) after deleting (how ?) this folder (but not its contents, how to move it ?)
    and 2) declare *after that* the disk as Time Machine disk.
    ➔ ③ Time Machine doesn't backup OTHER Time Machine backups
    (who are in an ancient-not-choosed-for-backups Time Machine disk) NOR backups this disk
    (detects, once again, the existence of a Backups.backupdb folder).
    AND you can't *absolutely not remove backups from the folder the're in*
    (for me, *MacBook Pro* or *MacBook Pro 2*).
    ➔ ④ I didn't have time to do it, but I think there would perhaps be a solution
    in restoring backups in partitions specially created to receive them (having the same name,
    that sort of thing) and then re-backup these partitions (vicious and complicated).
    There is a function on Mac OS X Install DVD : start with it, and then (do not install)
    choose "*restore from Time Machine backup*" from the menu bar (it's called "Utilities", I believe).
    ➔ ⑤ I *absolutely don't understand* what follows :
    — If I add (in my TM1To disk) the bytes of the 19 backups
    in Backups.backupdb > *MacBook Pro* folder, I obtain about *1,8 To*.
    — It's impossible (and not french).
    — When I check the size used with Disk Utility (NOT with Get Info),
    I find a correct (?) size : *about 750 Go*.
    — What are Time Machine backups made of ?
    It can't be aliases (because of their size, and because *aliases suppose originals,
    and where could they be ?*), or am I wrong and becoming crazy ?
    ➔ ⑥ If you refer to the numbers shown at the end of this text (*4 backups*),
    you'll see I could *delete duplicate elements* inside these 4 backups,
    to win space (but *what kind* of space *if I delete aliases* ?).
    Back-In-Time (see below) says he does it.
    BUT is it really the OLDEST items I have to destroy (see ⑤),
    when I don't know with what kind of ARTEFACT I'm acting ?
    What does Time Machine delete to create more backup space ?
    Is it REALLY the OLDEST backups it treats, or duplicates, OR ?
    *What you can do :*
    Find and go to Tri-Edre.fr or Tri-Edre.com/fr site (it's a french company
    that creates small Mac applications since fifteen years at least,
    I think I already bought them several programs in 1990) ;
    Their program *Back-In-Time 1.4.4* is free (Trial) and complete to download (with PDF docs too).
    It is *ENTIRELY DEDICATED* to Time Machine and *things you can't do* with.
    Price is about 30 €, I think it's worth.
    The TRIAL version you will obtain can only work on the LAST Time Machine backup,
    but you will see what's featured *AND :*
    You will ACCESS to ANY Time Machine backup you want
    (It has to be the last of a serie of backups, but the serie you want.
    I've bought the application and own an activation key, but you understand I can't give it to you
    (it would not be ethic) and anyway you would be obliged to disconnect AirPort, Ethernet etc.
    •➔ I have bought the application because I thought (it's said in PDF FAQs) I could IN THE END move Time Machine backup files, but it cannot, (I'm afraid).
    *BUT ANY ACCESS PROBLEM IS SOLVED.*
    •➔ Back-In-Time 1.4.4 can *delete :* duplicate backups, complete backups,
    or duplicate items inside one or several Time Machine backups,
    things that I believe impossible with Time Machine itself
    (I've seen it offers to delete ALL occurences of an item) ;
    •➔ The application can also restore anything you want, where you want
    (but I think Time Machine does it too ?)
    •➔ Believe it or not, but since I've bought it on 15/01,
    I've only worked about 2 hours (no, much more) on it
    and didn't make sufficient progresses (enhancements ?)
    to talk of it with sufficient experience (I'm a bad guy, don't you think ?)
    •➔ Tri-Edre offers on-line support, e-mail support (and so on),
    and I EVEN didn't manage to join them, because I did many other things,
    and also somewhat have been disgusted *not to be able to move* or copy
    *(accessible by Time Machine after that)* backups,
    and I also didn't succeed (*another Time Machine inconvenient*) to DESTROY an ".inProgress"
    Time Machine (package) which doesn't work anymore (several interruptions while active),
    date (and name) 2010-01-27-164345.inProgress, but is used (*with failure results*)
    by Time Machine (it's turned off till I find how to destroy its **** ".inProgress" package.
    •➔ I've asked my Apple Adviser Level 2 to wait for news from me
    before working himself on the problem, and I think I will send him this message
    to prove I haven't forgotten him.
    •➔ I'll send it to Tri-Edre too, in the same move.
    I hope those remarks to be useful for somebody, tell me if it has helped.
    I will also publish this in any Time Machine topics I find here, and in MacRumors site too.
    As you can see, I need help too … Does anybody have an idea ?
    Perhaps if I used a specific Copy software, it could work ?
    You'll see below an example of some time I've spent to study my problem
    (you will think I'm crazy).
    With my kind regards, and good luck if you have other Time Machine problems !

    Dear James Pond,
    Thank you once again, and, don't be afraid, I will be as short as possible,
    but I need to use your last reply (I've cut all what was already said).
    JP ➔ You can copy an entire set of backups, but you cannot copy part of it successfully. See #18 etc.
    JP ➔ Read this from the first paragraph: "you cannot copy only selected backups,
    or merge two (or more) sets of backups." The structure of the backups simply will not allow it.
    I've read it, and found it regrettable. And I've also read, after that, what were the solutions under Leopard and Snow Leopard, and my conclusion is that it's a *dead end* for me. In short,
    — I can't move (by drag and drop) the 1To's Backups.backupdb folder (containing MacBook Pro, 19 backups, access) to 1,5To, because there exists already the Backups.backupdb folder created by copy on 12/01 with Apple Assistance (containing [MacBook Pro, 4 backups of 19, no access] and [MacBook Pro 2, 15 backups, access]). I don't even know if it could be deleted by the copy (and I don't wanna do that anyway) ;
    — I can't rename (and what for, I already forgot it) any Backups.backupdb folder nor delete it ;
    — I can't copy any Computer'sName folder (entire set containing backups), being in a Backups.backup.db folder, into another Backups.backupdb folder ;
    — I can't copy any (or all of an entire set) YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS backup(s), being in a Computer'sName folder, into another Computer'sName folder (even if it would be empty).
    — Saying NONE in Time Machine Preferences and putting it to OFF is simply no use.
    All is said. What I can try to do is :
    — Delete (not with Finder, but with Back-In-Time) all duplicate things I find in all backups and also entire duplicate backups (I have full access to all with the software) ;
    — Restore each of the reduced-to-minimum backups obtained in specially right-sized partitions wearing the YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS name of each restored backup. Time Machine doesn't backup his backups, but will backup these partitions.
    I'm afraid to be actually completely running out of the target, when I read what I write … It's time to go to bed !
    Reminder (OH) : Where did you find these amazing informations ?
    JP➔ Some of it is detailed here: http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/07/10/12/roadto_maco[]sx_leopard_timemachine.html
    ➤ Thank you ;
    JP➔ and here:
    http://arstechnica.com/apple/reviews/2007/10/mac-os-x-10-5.ars/14
    ➤ Thank you too ;
    JP➔ You have to understand the structure. When TM does the first backup, yes, it copies everything.
    On subsequent backups, it copies what's new or changed, but also makes "hard links" (sort of like aliases) to the copies of the things that didn't change. That's how it can only back up a few things each time, but show you a complete "snapshot" of the way your entire system looked at the time of every backup.
    ➤ I'll do my best to understand.
    JP➔ Time Machine deletes backups under two conditions. See the first part of #12 in the Frequently Asked Questions User Tip, also at the top of this forum.
    Under normal circumstances, you should not have to delete any backups. See the rest of #12.
    ➤ I understood why Time Machine didn't delete oldest backups : they were not weeklies ones.
    Reminder (OH) : How can I destroy the (corrupted ?) not working "2010-01-27-164345.inProgress" in 1,5 To, which causes Time Machine to abort any backup of any size I ask ?
    JP➔ Why do you think it's corrupted? TM is designed to "recover" a partial backup.
    ➤ I'll verify that with the little Tools/Apps I discovered in your FAQ User Tip document and downloaded immediately.
    Why didn't Apple tell me anything ? It's my fault, I'm perhaps not clear and not demanding enough more from them.
    JP➔ You cannot install OSX on a disk containing TM backups. That's because they need to be on separate disks.
    Technically, you could put them on separate partitions of the same disk, but that would not be a good idea.
    ➤ I never told you that (there would be no interest at all). I talked about the same location, to see if it would allow me more permissions, but if all works without doing it, it's really no use.
    JP➔ Sorry, I don't know what that means.
    ➤ I'm sorry, I didn't explain : "but if all works" meant : Copy Backups.backupdb, "without doing it" meant : Install OSX.
    ➤ If I install an OSX BEFORE, Time Machine will REFUSE completely to backup on it, it's understood.
    JP➔ Correct. The partition you're running from will not be an option in TM Preferences > Select Disk. That prevents TM from backing-up it's own backups!
    ➤ Would it be so absurd ? Maybe it could resolve my actual problem ?
    I think you are right, but I don't know why. I trust you.
    Reminder (OH) : "I will not bore you again except if I don't find a specific answer to an unknown-never-seen-incredible malfuction."
    JP➔ Don't worry about that -- thats what this forum is for, especially if you're still having problems.
    ➤ It's seems in fact that there is no possible solution, except what I said above and is certainly crazy/out of subject.
    Just try to be as clear and concise as you can.
    And please don't post the same things repeatedly -- it wastes your time and ours, and can confuse other folks.
    ➤ You're absolutely right and I tried to do so this time, and I'm sorry because I see it's still (far) not enough (short).
    Thank you once more. I wish you a good evening and week-end. Here it's 01:40 AM.
    With my kind regards

  • 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.

    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.

  • Why is Time machine backup not working after Mavericks upgrade?

    Why is Time machine backup not working after Mavericks upgrade?

    I had the same problem due to the Fire Wire port.  Apple tested it told me it is OK!, I tried a new cable, and have tested both ports on my back up device.  I find it strange that as soon as I installed Mavericks.  The drive does work using USB.  It could be a coincidence, I don't absolutely know at this point, my back up drive ports could stop working, but I doubt it!

  • Time Machine says Backup Delayed After Upgrading to Lion

    Time Machine says Backup Delayed After Upgrading to Lion on both my Macs. It backs up fine when ever I connect to the USB drive but now seems to want to back up hourly when before weekly was OK. When it does not compleye an hourly backup it reports a delayed backup - failure on both machines. How do it revert back to it reminding me to do weekly backups?

    I'm having the same issue with Time Machine on OS X Lion!
    According to this webpage:     http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/LionChanges.html
    Backups (i.e., Time Machine, SD, CCC, etc.) will only save the current "Version" of files.
    The above statement sounds like the issue @iJRB and myself are having after upgrading to Lion where Time Machine shows the following error message below within "System Preferences > Time Machine"
    @iJRB: Is this the error message you are seeing?

    These are the iCloud storage options: http://www.apple.com/icloud/includes/lightbox-storage.html
    Also bear in mind that:
    1. restoring data over icloud takes time
    2. iCloud is not designed as a replacement to Time Machine.

    Not sure when this started happening, but every time I go to the Time Machine graphical interface it freezes the computer.
    It appears to be backing up properly, and I can access the files without problems in the Finder.
    Has anyone had this same issue, and has anyone found the problem?
    Thanks.

  • Time Machine and FileVault: Change after last Software Update?

    Hallo there,
    A lot of people seem to switch to Leopard because of Time Machine, but according to the reports, the user experience has got nothing to do with reliability. So let me describe what is going on here concerning Time Machine.
    I am using the German Version of Moc OS X Leopard with all recent software updates installed. I will try my best to translate the messages in the user interface. As mentioned above, I work in a user account that is encrypted wih FileVault. For Time Machine I have a 320 GB USB Harddrive from Lacie. Since I am having a MacBookPro, the USB-drive gets connected when I am at home, which means 2 or 3 times a week.
    With the first verion of Leopard, everything seemed to work like described: I had to log out of my account and Time Machine would start to write an encrypted sparsebundle to the USB-harddrive. Now, a few updaes later, the situation appears as follows:
    1.) When I log out of my account, there is no message that Time Machine backs up my home directory; neither can I notice any activity from the USB drive.
    2.) When I open the Time Machine configuration in System Preferences, it tells me in the line with the "Next Backup", that it will start, when "Mac is connected"; but even if the backup drive is connected, nothing seems to happen.
    3.) When I click on the padlock in the bottom left corner of the preferenes panel of Time Machine, the padlock will have opened by itself the next time I log in to my account.
    4.) When I open the backup drive in the Finder now, I can no longer find the encrypted sparsebundle; instead there is a new folder next to the "Macintosh HD" folder, that holds all the contents of my home directory unencrypted... but: its content is out of date!
    If anyone here has an idea what all this means and if there is an option to get an automated backup that really works, I would be glad.
    Thank you.

    I can't comment on the history before 10.5.3, but FileVault and TimeMachine are working ok for me with 10.5.3. Not ideally, because TimeMachine backs up only after a log out, and because you can't use the snazzy galaxy interface to restore individual files. However, the problems here have been exaggerated in the blogs. It is easy (and even good practice) to get in the habit of logging out at the end of the day (or even more frequently, as at lunch). TimeMachine will then have a nice series of stored snapshots. Restoration of individual files, rather than the entire volume, requires--gasp--a bit of "manual" activity rather than "galaxy" activity. One opens TimeMachine, figures out what time slice is appropriate, and proceeds by double-clicking to get to the saved volume for that time slice. Then one double-clicks to mount it, entering the password. Then one goes into the mounted disk, finds the file or folder that had accidentally been deleted or corrupted, drags it to the desktop, and then drags it to wherever it should be. Not exactly a big deal. Compared to the non FileVaulted situation, it's clunky, but still very nice in comparison with most backups and infinitely better than depending on occasional backups.

  • Currently have house wide wireless network and using external HD (USB) for time machine. HD broken.  would Time capsule work with current routers etc or make them redundant?

    I currently have a large house wide wireless network and I am using a dedicated Buffalo HD with USB for time machine.  The HD has gone bad and can't be repaired. I am thinking of replacing it with a Time Capsule.  Will this fit in with my current routers etc, render them redundent ?   I THOUGHT THAT THE HD I BOUGHT WAS OF GOOD QUAILTY BUT IT HAS BROKEN AFTER 2 YEARS. HOW LONG CAN ONE HOPE FOR A TIME CAPSULE TO LIVE (USING QUALITY SURGE DEVICES ETC) ?  Does one need to backup the backups?
    ALSO: Is ther e any way to back up from Time Machine off site ( mobile me etc) in case the house burns down?

    I know I should have redundant backups and should probably have a second external HD and eventually will.
    Yes, that's best.
    But for now, if I partition (I'm assuming I should) a new 1 TB external HD, how big should I make the TM partition vs. the SD partition at this point assuming I have under 100 GB on my internal Mac HD? Is this a feasible way of doing things here in the near term.
    Your best bet is to make your TM partition 2-3 times the size of the amount of data you anticipate backing-up. Put it first on the drive; that way, later on you can delete the partition below it, expand the TM partition, and make a new, smaller partition for SD (or use the whole drive). See #1, #3, #5 and #6 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum, for details.
    By the way, any recommendations on which peripheral HDs to consider? I was very surprised on a recent visit to my local Apple Store that they have a large stock of WD My Studio drives. I mentioned to an Apple sales person that I had always heard WDs were kind of a no-no among Mac users but she assured me the current crop of them were much improved. Any comment on that??
    Most any drive will work with Macs, and Time Machine.
    If you're going to put a "bootable clone" on it, be sure it's a bootable drive. Most PPC Macs can boot only from FireWire; most Intels can boot from F/W or USB. But some Western Digitals won't boot a Mac. Their list of which ones should and +should not+ boot: http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/stdadp.php?pfaqid=1787. But note the disclaimer that they don't support it +*at all.+*.
    In addition, many of them have a built-in sleep mode that cannot be disabled, and sometimes interferes with Time Machine backups: http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/stdadp.php?pfaqid=1376

  • Time Machine disk not mounting after sleep

    Greetings,
    I am having a problem with the external USB disk (500GB Iomega) that I have set up for Time Machine not remounting after my iMac wakes back up. Nothing I have tried, short of rebooting, seems to cause the Mac to notice the drive. I have tried turning the drive off and back on, but that didn't work, and neither did unplugging and re-plugging the USB cable. (I suppose obviously) Time Machine won't do any backups and complains that "The storage location for Time Machine backups can't be found." Time Machine Set Up says "Next Backup: When Disk is Connected." If I reboot, the disk will show up and Time Machine will commence backups, but then, after the machine sleeps, I have the same problem again.
    When I first plugged the drive in last night the computer immediately recognized it, mounted it, and asked me if I wanted to use it for Time Machine. I didn't have to do anything. I then successfully started Time Machine and it did its initial and several hourly backups as expected. Then the machine went to sleep and the disk never came back (short of a reboot).
    The computer is a brand new 24-inch, 2.8Ghz, iMac with Leopard installed from the included DVD immediately after opening the box - I did nothing before installing Leopard.
    This is my first Mac (I am a Unix refugee) so I may very well be doing something entirely stupid, but surely external disks should still be mounted (or automount) after the computer returns from sleep. What am I doing wrong? I also don't see any way to force Leopard to mount the drive, but I probably just don't know where to look.
    To be completely clear... the drive is plugged directly into the iMac on USB, no external hub. There is no networking involved with this disk. I didn't make any kind of settings to the disk (either to the disk itself- there aren't any, or on the iMac when I plugged the disk in). The only thing I did was answer "Yes" when Time Machine popped up a window asking if I wanted to use the new disk for backups. Last time the disk was mountet (before the computer went to sleep again) I ran the Disk Utility and it said the drive was fine.
    Thanks,
    Mark
    P.S. I'm sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere but I couldn't find it. Like I say, I'm new to the Mac and to these forums, so please forgive me if this post is redundant.

    Greetings,

    Ok, I went into console, and forced my iMac to sleep to see what the console would show was actually happening. I am not a very computer savvy person, but this is what the console said:
    Nov 8 21:50:27 steve-freunds-computer kernel[0]: USBF: 48332.754 AppleUSBEHCI[0x52ab000]::Found a transaction past the completion deadline on bus 0xfa, timing out! (Addr: 3, EP: 2)
    I believe this may be related to the problem. The AppleUSBEHCI appears to identify the offending driver/controller as the EHCI controller (Enhanced Host Controller Interface), or the controller that handles usb 2.0 High Speed (usually usb 1.1 and 2.0 Full Speed are handled by something that would be called a UHCI or Universal Host Controller Interface) USB High Speed is the fastest of the three usb speeds and although the interface is compatable with the slower speeds, works rather differently than the other two. Beyond that I'll have to look into what this message means (I'm brand new to the Mac - I've only had this one a couple of weeks).
    *Could others that are seeing this problem please post how many usb ports on the computer, not total devices connected to hubs or anything, but actual, physical ports on the computer that they are using?* Experimenting a little, on mine at least, I have not had the problem discussed in this thread when only two (out of the three available) of the physical USB ports on the Mac are used. Again on mine at least, it also doesn't seem to matter what, with the exception of external hubs, is plugged into the ports. Replacing the external drive with a flash drive or iPod Touch produces the same results, so it doesn't appear to have anything to do with the Iomega drive that I started seeing the problem with - it may be that that was just the third thing I plugged in (or not - I realize that I am a sample of one).
    It also seems to be that things connected to an external hub continue to work after the other two ports have failed. This is probably why most keyboards (mercifully) keep working - they are usually hubs (Apple's external ones are). I can't guarantee this however because I haven't really tested it - just observed it so far to be the case for me so far. Hubs do work differently than ordinary usb "functions" as the usb spec calls them.
    Lastly...
    If you have Xcode installed (assuming you have it installed in the default /Developer location) there is a tool in /Developer/Applications/Utilities called "USB Prober" that can provide some useful USB information.
    In my case, once a device stops working I see the status of the non-functioning devices reported as:
    High Speed device @ 2 (0xFA200000): ............................................. External HD (did not respond to inquiry - 0xe00002ed, might be Suspended)
    High Speed device @ 3 (0xFA400000): ............................................. HP Color LaserJet 2605dn (did not respond to inquiry - 0xe0004051, might be Suspended)
    And indeed the usb ports in question do appear to be behaving as if the host (the Mac) has them suspended - but I can't be entirely sure. I will try to look into this some more later if I can.
    Thanks,
    Mark
    P.S. To save questions: I've tried all the easy stuff: Switched cables, swapped out the hub I have on one of the ports, tried different devices in the ports (so far an HP printer, Iomega external disk, iPod Touch, and Sony usb flash drive). Nothing resolved the issue. My keyboard and mouse are connected to a 2.0 High Speed hub. I've tried using another hub, but it didn't make any difference.

  • Time Machine turns itself on after my Mac Pro wakes from sleep (every time)

    Hi,
    I have a 2009 Mac Pro and it currently has Lion on it (10.7.4), but the problem I am about to explain started when the machine was running Snow Leopard, so it doesn't appear to be an OS-specific issue.
    I do not currently use Time Machine, I use Carbon Copy Cloner and some online backup solutions to handle backups. I did use Time Machine for a short time on this machine just after it was introduced, but I didn't end up using it for long and the external drive I used for the backups is no longer in service.
    The problem is this:
    I have Time Machine off and I have all of my drives (I have 4 drives in my Mac and an external drive) set not to be backed up for good measure. Time Machine will stay off like it should except in one instance. If I put my machine to sleep, when my Mac wakes, Time Machine is instantly turned on and I get a warning telling me no backup drive has been selected and that I should pick one. I go into the Time Machine preferences and turn it off. It will remain off (I've checked the preferences to be sure) until the next time the machine is put to sleep. Time Machine will remain off, even through reboots. It is only waking from sleep that causes this.
    I've tried zapping the PRAM, getting rid of the Time Machine preferences and even logging into a new, unused user account and testing it from there and the problem continues. This is really starting to annoy me. I wouldn't mind having TM on, but having to click through the warning every time my Mac wakes from sleep is frustrating.
    I don't want to have to buy a new external hard drive and let TM backup to the drive because, as I said, I've got my backup solutions handled already and I'm not willing to put yet more money to use a feature I don't need right now.
    I've done searches online and asked around and no one has been able to help me yet. So I thought I'd try here.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Do you see a wake reason in Applications>Utilities>Console?

  • Time Machine backups slowing down after 25 days

    I am experiencing a peculiar kind of behaviour from Time Machine under
    Mountain Lion (10.8.2). In the multiple threads on Time Machine issues,
    I could not find this exact problem described so I am wondering if
    anyone else has seen the same thing or even has a solution.
    Like for many others, the basic symptom is that Time Machine becomes
    extremely slow. In my case this always happens about 25 days after the
    last reboot. I am using a Mid 2010 27-inch IMAC and a Mid 2010 Mac Pro,
    both connected to a Time Capsule via ethernet. Both are showing the
    same behaviour.
    Originally I was letting Time Machine do its regular hourly backups,
    this has now been changed to twice a day using TimeMachineEditor. The
    change has made no difference, backups are still getting slow after
    25 days. This is accompanied by kernel_task gradually ramping up
    its CPU usage, from below a percent to several percent.
    Here are the backupd entries from a "normal" backup:
    This takes 3-4 min, which I find tolerable - although I
    am always surprised by the rather large number of files that
    are backed up even if the machine has remained idle:

    I have now rebooted the machine, and things are back to normal.
    In about 25 days, I fully expect that things will start to grind to
    a halt again. On the MacPro, which has now been running for 16
    days, things should be fine for another 9-10 days.

    These are the messages from the first slow backup. This one was only marginally slower than a normal backup, but a sure sign that things were going awry nonetheless:

  • Time Machine doesn't restart after restore

    Hello everyone,
    I have a 2010 i7 MacBook Pro and just upgraded from Snow Leopard to Yosemite only to realise that it doesn't recognise my version of Protools. I decided then  to use my Backup which I have done just before upgrading (first and only backup I ever did, using a usb plugged external hard drive) and use time machine to restore my operative system back to Snow Leopard.
    The restore goes fine until it gets stuck when trying to restart. It stays on the 'Restarting your computer' screen and nothing else happens. I tried restarting manually but it doesn't respond and also forcing it to quit.  Once I do this, however, it just begins the TM restoring process all over again (select backup drive, the actual restore) only to get stuck again at the same point.
    I've tired this process several times now and nothing happens. I'm worried because it doesn't give me the option to continue in YOsemite either, it just always goes back to the same screen where I can only chose between restarting again and disk utklity. I have read other threads but they explain mostly what to do when you cant get it to work after restarting, mine doesn't even begin to restart!!
    Help please!! Thank you!

    See #C3 in the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip* at the top of this forum.
    Also, now it wants to back up anywhere between 75GB to 110 GB, even though little has changed since I restored it.
    Yes, that's normal. Everything you just put on the disk is considered as being new +to that disk+ and will be backed-up: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1338
