TM drive spinning up delays system

Hi,
could not find the topic. please feel free to point me to a thread.
I have a 1GB external HD as my TM drive. In Leopard it came to live only when accessing or writing backups.
Now it spins up randomly, delaying the whole system.
i.e.
- when pressing on a link in Safari --> Beach ball until drive is up --> link opens
- while writing this post --> it just started when pressing enter for this line (coincidence!)
There are more occasions, but I do not remember when.
Maybe its a Problem with safari?
I do not see a reason for the TM HD to spin up?!
Delay does not exist when in battery setting HD spin down is disabled.
Maybe you have a suggestion?
Maybe you could point me to a description how I can see what caused the read command?
Thanks in advance

Thanks for reply!
Yes 1TB, thanks for pointing out. its a Seagate Desktop USB drive.
I also noticed, when saving something it will spin up. I belief thats normal, because SL needs to know where to save. But I would think Apple is smart enough to implement a feature that SL knows if a HD is a TM only drive, therefore will only access it when read or write a backup. But maybe not.
any other idea?

  • Delay on save as external hard drive spins up

    I have an issue with Snow Leopard that seems new.
    Often when I go to save a document there is a significant delay while the external hard drive spins up. This happens also sometimes when I go to open a file from within an application.
    I have spotlight set to not index that drive. How can I stop my computer from thinking that something I may want to save to the external hard drive? I would like to ignore it all together except for when I use Time Machine.

    You can try the energy saver settings, telling OS X to not spin down drives. However, for external drives, often they do their own thing.
    There's no way to do what you want, unfortunately. The standard file dialog will probe all attached drives, so when you try to save, and the drive is spun down, it will wake and respond. As you've noted, this can take a few seconds.

  • HD spin down delay

    Is there a way to control after how long time without activity should the HD spin down in the TC?
    I find it too quick. It is around 5 minutes for me (however did not measure exactly).
    It just happens too often to me during normal operation and I have to wait 10-15 seconds at virtually each access of the drive.
    Virtually each means that I do something on the computer like organizing my stuff, opening a file, study it, save it back after changes, and it is in the frequency longer than the spin down delay which feels the system became unresponsive.
    I'd like to have such a control on the power saving interval.
    I watched one movie from the TC and at some intervals it started to struggle with the playback which did not happen before when I was playing a movie from the shared drive of an other computer instead of the TC (where the network was a slower one!). I just hope the phenomenon is not because of the too frequent power saving intervals.

    Does anyone know any progress for this problem since March?
    I'm also checking in on this. Any new developments?
    This has bugged me since the day we got ours (on launch day)
    So far the T.C. makes for a terrible network drive. And we bought it based on the product description:
    {quote:title=Apple wrote:}"But that doesn’t mean Tiger, Windows XP, and Windows Vista users can’t enjoy the benefits of Time Capsule, too. Because it mounts as a wireless hard drive, Tiger and Windows users simply access Time Capsule directly from the wireless network for exchanging and storing files quickly and easily."{quote}
    Quickly? No.

  • Network drives have significant delay if not accessed for 1 hour

    I’m moving our file server from Netware to Windows Server 2012.  I’ve setup a test share. While Netware never gave us any delays in accessing the drive, our test group immediately started complaining that our network drives “would not come up right
    away”.
    We’re hosting the share on a Server 2012 box and I used both Windows 7 (as that’s the standard in our office) and 8.1 to test the issue.  I noticed that the problem shows itself if a user hasn’t accessed the drive for more than an hour. The effects are
    also exaggerated on Windows 7: if a user hasn’t used the drive, it takes on average 25 seconds to open the drive. This is lessened somewhat with Windows 8, which either doesn’t have the problem or has a delay of 5 seconds to open the drive. This is an improvement,
    but it’s still not acceptable considering we had *no* delays with Netware.
    The first thing I surmised was a problem with the network drivers on my test machines, so I updated them. It didn’t affect the issue at all.
    So then I assumed the problem was coming from some sort of reconnection issue from the end machine to the server, so I attempted to follow the fixes located at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297684 in order to keep the connection alive indefinitely. This had
    no effect. The delays were just as long as they had been prior to making any changes.
    I’m beginning to run out of ideas as to why our test network drive has these delays. Thanks in advance for any insight you all might have.
    edit: Upon further testing, I have the following information:
    - HD spindown times on the server are set to 0 mins, so there is no spin-down occuring.
    - I haven't been able to find any useful information in the server's event logs.
    - There is no third-party software installed on the server.
    - There are no extra services running on this server. Just the file share.
    - My network provider setup is as follows: NetWare Services >> Microsoft Remote Desktop Session Host Server >> Microsoft Windows Network >> Web Client Network

  • How long does it take to reformat a hard drive and do a system recovery?

    I have a Satellite 2405-S201 that was infected with a virus. I decided to use the Toshiba recovery discs that came with the computer to reformat the hard drive and restore the system to its original factory status. I started with the recovery process using Disc 1 and it now seems stuck. Its been at least 2 hours since I started and the screen is blank. Occasionally the CD drive spins up but nothing else seems to happen. Any ideas on what I should do next? Should I leave it be and see what happens? Or should I attempt to restart the process? Something else?

    When my imac was new in 2002 the drive turned out to be defective. Apple replaced it, but it still took about a week, even with the part in stock at the local (US) Apple Store. I would expect it to take longer these days, when it's an outdated machine and so not one requiring parts they'd likely have in stock.

  • Hard drive spins down and have to do a hard reboot

    I have an Intel iMac 3.06 (April 2008). Ever since I upgraded to Snow Leopard especially when I am using itunes (9.02) (downloading) the hard drive spins down for no reason at all.The energy settings are fine. The only option I have is to hold the power button down for 5 sec and reboot when it happens. I know this has been an issue with other intel iMacs but when the "fix" for other machines was available it said my machine did not need it. I beg to differ. This is getting very annoying as I am sure it is not doing the hard drive any good having to hard reboot all the time.
    I have tried the power management reset which has not resolved the problem.

    Hi David
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    1. In the Energy Saver preference try setting Computer sleep: to "Never" and make sure the the box "Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible" is unchecked.
    2. Try resetting the System Management Controller as described in the article below.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1543
    Now then if you are still having a problem you might also:
    1. Use the Restore Default button on the Energy Saver preference panel and then reselect your sleep settings.
    or
    2. Go to: Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences > SystemConfiguration and trash the "com.apple.PowerManagement.plist" which also restore's the Energy Saver preference to default, then go back to the Energy Saver preference and reselect your sleep settings.

  • Boot Camp Assistant says There is no USB drive connected to the system

    I have a mid-2012 11” Macbook Air and a USB Superdrive. I am trying to use Boot Camp Assistant but it is not letting me proceed. With the Superdrive plugged and Windows 7 (full version) DVD in the drive, I get the message “No USB Drive” – “There is no USB drive connected to the system. Please insert a USB drive to continue.”
    I checked using Finder and Go->Computer and there is the Windows 7 installation DVD mounted properly. The Superdrive spins up when I plug it in. I tried both USB ports. I tried re-booting with the Superdrive attached. The laptop is plugged in and there is an internet connection. It is running Mac OS X 10.8.3. I read the Installation and Setup PDF guide and there was no mention of the problem. I searched these forums and found that two other people are/have experienced the same problem, but there is no posted solution.

    At the second step in the wizard, there is a dialog with three check-boxes. The only way I can proceed is if I uncheck the option "Download the latest Windows support software from Apple". When checked, I get the "No USB drive" message. Checking or unchecking the other two options does not change the behavior ("Create a Windows 7 or later install disk" and "Install Windows 7 or later"). I have tried with the Superdrive attached with Window 7 in the drive, with a blank DVD and without the Superdrive.
    You are not following the Boot Camp instructions. Did you select the option to read the instructions? When running Boot Camp Assistant you are given the option to download the support software. If this is selected you must connect a usb stick that is correctly formatted per the instructions. At this point in the process you sshould not have your superdrive or Windows dvd connected.
    Read the instructions.

  • External hard drives spinning up incessantly

    Note the 02:10:12 "all drives spin up" event.  That was opening a PDF in Preview.  The PDF was in my home directory/Downloads on "Macintosh HD".  The rest is entirely Finder; I was doing nothing at all. 
    I'm hearing a spool-up literally every 4-5 minutes.
    I have essentially given up, and dismounted all the drives until I have need for something on one of them.  Of course that kills Time Machine.
    Since there is no rime or reason for these accesses, I am NOT impressed with the argument that "drives should spin 24x7, it's better for them".  This is a home system, not a server.  I know how often I actually need data off these drives - several times a day and many days not at all.  So I should use a program to force them to spin 24x7 (by doing more unnecessary accesses)?  That's like leaving a hot water faucet open 24x7 to deal with a glitch in an on-demand water heater.
    I want the drives to spin down.  And stay spun down.  And then, when I choose to access something on one of the drives, or an application has something it's going to actually use the drive for (e.g. midnight backups) -- I want it to spin up. Simple enough?
    I am running 10.5 but my searches tell me Snow Leopard is worse, and Lion is worse yet.

    Good point, just checked, and the answer is no.  I had 3 Finder windows open, all viewing the main hard drive.
    They did, of course, have the hard drive icons along the left edge.
    Edit (from here):
    But I wasn't doing anything with Finder during these times.
    This activity occurred when I was not using the computer at all.

  • Hard Drive Spin Down....Good or Bad??

    'Two questions, really, but first some background.  I have an earlier Mac Pro running 10.7.3 (as I recall).  I also have a Sonos music system.  All the hard drive bays in the Mac Pro are occupied.  The first has a 2 TB Western Digital RE that has my OS and all my files on it.  Bay's 2 and 3 have two 3TB drives from Hitachi which are mirrored and serve as my internal daily backup which is run and cloned by CCC.  The fourth drive is another RE that has copies of all my music.  I simply copy my two iTunes folders and any other music I want the Sonos system to access to this fourth drive.  My reason for doing this is that I wanted to minimize the run time of my main hard drive as not so long ago, I had two Seagate drives go belly up on me.  All the music on the fourth drive (that serves the Sonos system) comes from my main hard drive which is backed up to the two mirrored internal drives as well as a G-Technolgy mirrored external drive, so I'm not concerned with backing up the drive serving the Sonos system.  So......
    Question one is:  Which is better for drives in general, to keep them spinning all the time, or to allow or force them to spin down if they aren't being accessed?
    Question two is:  If it is better to spin down a drive, how can I selectively spin down some drives and not others? 
    For instance, I'm thinking that it is better to spin drives down, then I'd like to be able to spin down drive #1 with my OS but not the Sonos drive because the Sonos system prefers that the drive not spin down or there are connection errors.
    Thanks for all your answers and suggestions!

    I understand the limitions of mirrored drives, but my main drive is not mirrored.  What is mirrored are my backup drives.  One daily backup onto mirrored drives in bay's 3 and 4 in the Mac Pro.  And a less frequent backup on mirrored drives that are stored in a fireproof safe in the garage.  Should my main, non-mirrored drive fail (hopefully it'll be a long time as it's an enterprise class drive), I've then got any one of four cloned drives to choose from.  Of course, I would choose the most recent ones that are internal, but should something catastrophic like a fire occur, I'd then have two identical cloned and bootable drives in the garage. 
    I recognize that in the case of a real catastrophy, the drives in the garage won't be as current as the drives in the Mac Pro, but in both cases, the backups themselves are pretty robust because they are mirrored.  If one backup drive fails, the other will likely be fine and I can then easily proceed from there. 
    It set up properly, mirrored drives offer some great redundency in case of hard drive failure.  What prompted me to go this route was three drive failures in one year, all of which were Seagate Barracuda drives and relatively new.  And two of them were backup drives.  My backup drives are now Hitachi and mirrored in case one dies.  And CCC makes it so I can just plug the backup drive into my #1 bay and I'm back up in business.  Except for MS Office which somehow limits the number of times it can be cloned and you have to call MS and get a new product code.  Easy to do, but a pain.  I learned this as a result of swapping cloned drives in and out of my wife's MacBook.  It all worked perfectly until I did it once too many times and MS wouldn't load.  Hence the call to MS.
    Thanks for all your feedback!
    Oh, and any info on controling which drives spin down and which don't?

  • External Drives Spinning Down

    Greetings All;
    Although the upgrade to Mountain Lion went without a hitch on all of my machines, since the upgrade my external firewire drives spin down when not in use.
    They do spin back up after a few seconds when accessed.  This obviously isn't a major issue...just wondering if anyone else has experience this.  Any thoughts?  All the best....

    Thanks for the response!  Glad to hear I'm not the only one.  I have multiple FCP editing systems and a couple of iMac's for graphics work, so I've now begun only powering up the drives that I need for the day's current project.  Interesting development.  All the best...

  • PB17 internal drive spins down during bootup; computer shuts down

    my internal hard drive has crashed 3 times in the last week, each time on boot-up during the grey screen spinning wheel mode. the wheel will stop spinning, and simultaneously i can hear the internal drive spin down, then the computer shuts down on its own. i am able to boot from any external bootable hard drive.
    when i boot from any external drive, the internal drive does not mount. when launching the utility Drive Genius from the external drive, the internal drive still doesn't mount but does list the drive in the list of volumes/device window and does list the details of the drive. the drive is listed with its BSD name, not its DisplayName.
    Drive Genius is able to DUPLICATE the internal drive, and i'm able to boot from that duplication. if i select REPAIR, Drive Genius goes thru it's process of examining but is never able to actually repair the drive. for each time that the drive has crashed, if i select the REBUILD option, even though it always reports back that it was unable to repair the drive, when finished with the report, the drive mounts automatically with the correct volume display name. i am then able to boot from the internal drive, and everything works fine...till the next crash.
    Apple's disk utility hasnt been any help, although i've repaired permissions successfully after recovering from each crash.
    any thoughts?

    If your drive happens to be failing, then there is nothing that any software application can do to fix it. Maybe you should boot from the Install & Restore DVD that came with your PowerBook holding down the Option key, and run Apple Hardware Test to see if that provides any insight....
    Have you considered reformatting the PB's drive and reinstalling your system?
    Good luck.

  • Hard drive spin down - good or bad for the drives

    Having had a few drives fail recently, I've started to wonder about the whole issue of the energy saver preference for having hard drives spin down. I've always had it disabled because it seems to be generally believed that that's the way to work on a fcp (or avid for that matter) editing system. But now that I've started imagining every drive failing, I'm wondering whether it makes sense to perhaps have another user account that I switch to for nonediting moments in which the spin down option is enabled.
    Any opinions out there?

    Drive manufacturors report a MTBF (mean time between failures) often in the 200,000 hours range. This works out to something like 22 years. Drives that fail in less time than that are often subjected to three things:
    - heat
    - voltage irregularities - spikes or brownouts
    - physical shocks
    oh, and did I mention heat?
    As drive RPM increases, so does energy consumption and heat. The best thing you can do for drives is to keep them in a cool, well ventilated location and to put them on a conditioned power supply.
    FWIW, I have scsi drives that are over 10 years old running everyday with no issues.
    Spindown seems to be an energy saver issue but I wonder about the cycle of powering down and back up over and over and over. It seems like that would put much more stress on bearings, motors and the like.
    good luck.

  • Lion time machine - external drive spin up causing apps to crash

    I have a 1TB external drive set up for time machine backups on my 27" iMac running Lion 10.7.3 that seems to be causing my Adobe CS 5.5 suite of apps (photoshop in partiucular) to crash as the drive spins up.  If an adobe application or lion/time machine is asking the drive to spin up I have no idea, but it seems random, and when it does, the adobe app(s) freeze and the beach ball from **** just spins. All other applications remain uneffected which leads me to believe it's related to a scratch disk function of some sort. I've googled high and low to find an scrap on insight into this issue and have found nothing...
    Few questions:
    • Why does the time machine external drive randomly spin up even though there are no backup processes running?
    • Why would an adobe app would need to access an external drive?
    Before anyone says it, I know I can always just eject the drives, but I'd rather keep my backups running for obvious reasons. If a complete wipe and install is the only solution recommended by the doctor, I will. It's just maddening to regularly loose work. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Set the TM drive not to spin down, I think there is a setting in the system preferences.
    Could be the G drive feature,

  • How to install Creative Cloud on any drive other than my System drive...

    You are now chatting with 'Bhagawan'
    Bhagawan: Hello. Welcome to Adobe Technical Support.
    Bhagawan: Hi Steve
    Steve: It appears CC installs on my system drive without asking me. The way I manage my system - this is not acceptable. So, how do I install on the drive I install all my other apps?
    Bhagawan: I understand that you want to install Creative Cloud desktop app. Am I correct?
    Steve: On a particular drive - not my system drive.
    Steve: CC, Photoshop, etc.
    Bhagawan: I will be glad to check and help you with this issue.
    Bhagawan: Steve, creative cloud desktop app can be install only on C drive, but other apps you select for other drive.
    Steve: My C: drive is dedicated to my OS only.
    Steve: It is a special drive that will not work for very long if software companies put their programs on it till it fills up and then everything stops.
    Steve: Didn't Adobe think of this?
    Steve: I have one computer that only has a few MBs left of C:. What do I do on that computer?
    Steve: "left on C:"
    Bhagawan: Give me a minute.
    Bhagawan: Thank you.
    Bhagawan: Steve, I'm really sorry, creative cloud desktop app will be installed on C Drive, since the operating system is installed, but other Creative Cloud apps can be installed other Drive and depends on file size.

    I had the same problem and finally solved it.
    It is "funny" that CC doesn't ask you where to install apps. Or better to say, it asks you but doesn't care. In Creative Cloud desktop app/Preferences there is option to choose where you want apps to be installed, but they are still installed in C:/Program Files/....
    How to install apps on secondary drive in just 3 steps:
    1. Go to page Adobe CC 2014 Direct Download Links – Creative Cloud 2014 Release | ProDesignTools and download all apps that you will need.
    2. Once downloaded, install it. During installation you will be asked where you want app to be installed (just like in any other "normal" installation)
    3. Be happy
    Hope I helped

  • Broadcom driver not working after system update on 10/10/2014

    Yesterday I updated my system (pacman -Syyu) and after rebooting my wireless card is no longer detected by the operating system. I have a 15 inch macbook pro (late 2013) with a broadcom BCM4360 wireless card. It was tough to get working in the first place, but eventually I got it to work with the broadcom-wl-dkms driver. The package is still installed, so I have no idea what to do because I have tried all of the available broadcom driver packages that I know to exist.

    Did you rebuild the wireless driver after updating the system? I've never quite figured out how to deal with the dkms variation of the drivers so you are on your own for the correct syntax (surely in the wiki somewhere), but I know that for my BCM4314 with the broadcom-wl driver, every time there is an update to the kernel, I need to rebuild the broadcom-wl driver (even if broadcom-wl itself didn't change) so that the wl.ko module shows up in the appropriate place in the kernel modules directory.
