Time machine wont start?

Time machine wont start in my computer after I double click on the icon. There is no error message -- seems to ignore me completely.
Any tools to find out what is going on?

Not sure what happened, but re-booting fixed the problem.

  • My time machine wont let me restore folders

    My time machine wont let me restore folders it restores it as an empty folder after saying "copying 48 items - estimating time remaining" if I try to copy them manually it will either say it is copying them then ask me if I want to replace the existing folder of add a folder with the same name adding .localized to the end then it again adds the blank folder except it says "0KB of 64GB - estimating time remaining..." or "1 byte of 64GB - estimating time remaining" I have verified the disk in disk utility and it said it was "OK"
    Started Happening after supplementary update

    I think this was fixed in the 1.7.3 supplementary update

  • Boot from time machine to start up my macbook Pro?

    Can I boot up from my time machine to start up my macbook pro with 10.7.5? I have not been able to start up from my diskWarrior 4.4 disk in order to rebuild my hard drive, and I did not get a 10.7 system disk when I bought my computer. Also, if I can, how do I do it?

    If the time machine backup was made from your Mac with 10.7.x install on it yes toy can boot from it. Connect the backup drive to the Mac and power it on. Hold down the Option key and a boot menu screen willl come up. Select the backup drive, it might be label Recovery HD or Whatever you called the drive when you formatted it.
    Once that loads, which is a copy of the built ion Recovery HD files you can use disk utility to do maintance and do all the other things you can do with disk utility and then you can restore your system from that backup.

  • Time Machine Drive Starts Up Every Time I Try And Open A Word File

    I had this problem when I first got Leopard and now that I've upgraded to 10.6 I'm having it again. Whenever I open word and then look for a file the Time Machine drive starts to whir and I have to wait an eternity to start looking for files on my Mac, not the Time Machine drive. I can't find a setting in Word to shut off the search feature and I have Time Machine shut off from Spotlight so I can't figure out the problem. And it's not exclusive to Word. It's all programs where I have to search for a particular file, iMovie, iWeb, Final Draft, etc. Help!

    try rebuilding launch services database. run the following command in terminal
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
    see if that helps.

  • Time Machine wont backup

    I bought an external hard drive and put files from my old computer on it before I bought my iMac. Now I want to use it for backing up my iMac but Time Machine wont backup to it without erasing the contents. Is there a way around this? Or will I have to buy a new EHD? Or is there a way to backup to cyberspace?
    Thanks

    The drive is probably set up with the MBR (Master Boot Record) partition map, that Windoze uses. To use it for TM you must completely reformat it, which will erase it. If you have enough space (or can borrow another external temporarily), you can copy the data off, reformat it, then copy the data back.
    TM works best with it's own, exclusive space, so you should partition the drive anyway. If you're going to use the other data with a PC, make the other partition MS-DOS (FAT).
    For formatting instructions, see item #5 of the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip* at the top of this forum.
    Also see #1 of the FAQ Tip for size considerations.

  • I had a repair done at the apple store where the replaced my hard drive and copied my other hard drive over to the new one.  Everything is fine except the time machine wont reconnect to my old file and is trying create a new file but not enough space?

    I had a repair done at the apple store where the replaced my hard drive and copied my other hard drive over to the new one.  Everything is fine except the time machine wont reconnect to my old file and is trying create a new file but not there is not enough space for both files files? Do I need to do something to have it continue to update my old file instead of recreating a new one?

    Depending on what version of OSX you're running, and how the data was transferred, you may be out of luck.
    If you're running Lion, and your backups were made to a directly-connected external HD (ie, not a Time Capsule or other network location), you may be able to get Time Machine to "associate" the new disk with the old backups.  See #B6 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting, especially the pink box there.
    If you're running Snow Leopard, you might be able to do a full system restore of your backups to the new HD.  See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #14 for detailed instructions.  That should leave a "trail" that Time Machine can follow to "associate" the new drive with the old backups.  Unfortunately, that doesn't always work, and there's no way to do it manually, as there is with Lion.

  • HT1338 Time Machine wont boot!

    Time Machine wont boot although it still is backing up and works in the preferences. How can I fix this? Any ideas?

    Please try each of the steps below that you haven't already taken.
    Step 1
    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Time Machine
    and make sure that at least one backup destination is selected and available.
    Step 2
    If you're entering Time Machine from the Finder, make sure no Finder windows are open in other Desktop spaces in Mission Control. You must enter from a window open in the current space.
    Step 3
    If you're backing up to an external hard drive attached to your Mac, open the backup volume in the Finder. You should see a folder with the name "Backups.backupdb". If you instead see a file with a name ending in "sparsebundle," the backup was created over a network. You have to mount the backup volume manually when you want to restore from it by double-clicking the sparsebundle file.
    Step 4
    Select the "Backups.backupdb" folder and open the Info dialog. Either "staff" or "everyone" should have Read onlyaccess. If not, click the lock icon to unlock the access settings and make the necessary change. If you're not sure how to do that, consult the built-in help or ask.
    Step 5
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V) and press return.
    A folder will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the folder open for now.
    Relaunch the Finder by selecting  ▹ Force Quit from the menu bar, then selecting Finder and pressing return. Your Finder settings will be lost.
    Try again to enter Time Machine. If you still can't, put back the file you moved to the Desktop, replacing the newer one that will have been created in its place.
    Otherwise, close the folder you opened and delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Recreate your Finder preferences.
    Step 6
    Do as in Step 5, but with this line:  
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
    This time you may be prompted for your administrator password. Reboot, recreate your settings in the Time Machine preference pane, and run a backup to test.
    Step 7
    Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the backup drive in the pane on the left (not any of the volume icons below it.) At the bottom of the window, you should see this:
    Partition Map Scheme : GUID Partition Table
    If the partition scheme is anything else, the drive has to be repartitioned (with the loss of all data.)
    Step 8
    Skip this step if you're backing up to a network device, such as a Time Capsule.
    Boot in safe mode. Try again to enter Time Machine.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Step 9
    Launch the Console 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. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Try again to enter Time Machine. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

  • My HD is shrinking/ Time Machine wont back up

    So my Macbook pro has been running really slowly lately, like getting progressively worse, and now the external hard drive that I back up to time machine is spinning all the time, Time Machine wont back up, it just says "Calculating changes" and now I noticed that I have 3 less gigs on my internal HD although I have written nothing to it today. The external HD works fine other wise, I can move files manually to and from it, but I'm getting really freaked out that I maybe have a virus or something, although I have never know anyone whos had one on a mac. I have a genius bar appointment tomorrow, but I need to work on my machine now. I my main log in got so slow yesterday that it was unusable, so I created a second log in which work much faster last night, but now seems to be slowing down too. Oh, my right fan has been noisey for some time too, and my system runs at 140-160 degrees, which I have read is fairly normal, although it is often hot to the touch. Any Ideas??!?!

    That sounds like something corrupted on your internal HD. Verify it, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum). As noted there, if that shows errors, you'll have to repair it, per the yellow box there.
    The external HD works fine other wise, I can move files manually to and from it,
    Was that just an experiment, or are you keeping other data there, in the same partition as your Time Machine backups? If so, that's not a good idea. See #3 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).

  • Time Machine Wont Mount

    Hi,
    Hopefully someone can help here, I have a mid-late 2007 Al 2.0 Ghz iMac, and I had the weirdest thing just happen. I was watching a video on quicktime and decided to plug in a jumpdrive, it didnt mount so I unplugged it.
    The OS then told me that it was unplugged without ejecting and it unmounted all of my disks (one labeled videos, my TM and the jumpdrive i guess). I got an error about the Videos disk when it auto remounted saying it needed repairing, but Mac Os could not (Fat32 format). I rebooted to see if that would correct the mounting error, and then neither of my two disks would mount.
    I rebooted with the leopard dvd to check the os drive to make sure it was not corrupt, and the TM hd was mounted there as a generic drive, HSF+ formated, but would not verify or get any details. It also would not eject at all.
    I rebooted again back to the regular os (start up disk returned no errors when checked) and the Videos disk mounted without a problem, but the TM disk wont. It wont show up in Disk Utilities either. It does however show up in about my mac as an external drive.
    The output of my /dev
    /dev/disk0s2 on / (hfs, local, journaled)
    devfs on /dev (devfs, local)
    fdesc on /dev (fdesc, union)
    map -hosts on /net (autofs, automounted)
    map auto_home on /home (autofs, automounted)
    /dev/disk2s1 on /Volumes/VIDEOS (msdos, local, nodev, nosuid, noowners)
    and the info on system profiler of the TM drive
    External HDD:
    Product ID: 0x0910
    Vendor ID: 0x1058 (Western Digital Technologies, Inc.)
    Version: 1.06
    Serial Number: 574341505A30363236353239
    Speed: Up to 480 Mb/sec
    Manufacturer: Western Digital
    Location ID: 0xfa430000
    Current Available (mA): 500
    Current Required (mA): 2
    now if i list my /dev I do get a retun of the following disks
    disk0
    disk0s1
    disk0s2
    disk2
    disk2s1
    disk3
    disk3s1
    disk3s2
    if i try to force mount the drive in terminal I return
    Nobodys-imac:~ admin$ mount /dev/disk3
    mount: /dev/disk3: unknown special file or file system.
    So im thinking I hosed the drive, but it wasnt reading/writing when it was force unmounted earlier.
    Its spinning and it sounds like the drive is seeking or reading/writing.
    Any thoughts are appreciated.
    Thanks for reading,
    Brian

    It figured itself out I guess, I rebooted for the third time and time machine kicked in and started back up, no problems for several days now.

  • Brand new iMac, Can I restore from Time machine or start new?

    My Mac Pro died a month ago so I am replacing it with a 27 Inch iMac.  I had a time machine back up on my Mac Pro.  When I get my iMac can I restore from the time machine so that I don't have to go through installing all of my programs again or should I start fresh and install everything fr

    It's probably "better" to put a fresh install of everything but it certainly isn't the easiest or fastest. I'd say if everythg was running fine at the time of your last TM backup I'd restore from the TM probably using Migration Assistant. Installing and registering a bunch of software can be a pain. I've always used Migration Assistant when I get a new Mac. What happened to the Mac Pro? Is the hard drive still available? You could stick it into an external enclosure and migrate from that.

  • Time Machine - Backup Starts, But Won't Complete

    Hi all,
    I've been using Time Machine with a 2TB Time Capsule (purchased a few months ago) that won't do a backup anymore. Here are the error messages:
    +The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk.+
    +The problem may be temporary. Try again later to back up. If the problem persists, use Disk Utility to repair your backup disk.+
    +Time Machine Error+
    +The problem may be temporary. Try again later to back up. If the problem persists, use Disk Utility to repair your backup disk.+
    +Latest successful backup: 10-02-15 at 14:57+
    Here are the log messages:
    +Starting standard backup+

    I've tried verifying and repairing the sparsebundle using the Disk Utility program (no improvement) and I've also tried to reset Time Machine (again, no success). What else do I need to try? The access point and printer sharing work fine, so the problem seems to be software-based.
    Any suggestions as to what I should try next? I'm a bit out of ideas.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the help - failed again this time...here are the logs:

    Any ideas on what to try now? Should I exclude this directory or try something different?
    Thanks!
