What do i need to buy for Time Machine to work . i want to backup my mac

Hi i want to back up my macbook pro and im not sure how to do it. But i know you use time machine. What do i need to buy. Also somthing about airport utility

I have a 512GB internal and use a 2Tb external for my Time Machine backups. Unless you choose to go with one of Apple's Time Capsules (which I wouldn't) you can get a good drive that has 2-3x your internal disk capacity with multiple ports from a variet of vendors. I have two of these G-Drives from Amazon and love them. One a 1Tb and one a 2tb.
For everything you ever wanted to know about Time Machine, check out Pondini's FAQs -  http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html.
Good luck - call back with any questions...

  • I moved from the UK to the US with my iMac. What do I need to buy for the UK iMac to work in the US? A power convertor? A plug convertor? or Both?

    I moved from the UK to the US with my iMac. What do I need to buy for the UK iMac to work in the US? A power convertor? A plug convertor? or Both?  I had previously read that you only need a plug convertor (three prong to two prong).  But I'm terrified that my iMac will blow up if I only use a plug convertor and not some sort of voltage convertor (Transformer).

    I'm not really hardware tech savy - is it easy to pop out the UK power cable and plug in the US power cable? Or do I need to get someone like an iMac support guy to do this? And because of the voltage difference, is there something built into the iMac that takes care of the voltage difference for me?  Thanks!!

  • What is the best USB powered portable 1TB hard drive for a macbook pro that allows Time machine to work, windows (thru Parallels software) and mac storage and is available in Australia?

    I agree with teh OWC sggestion above, but why must it be USB powered? I find that far more unreliable, and the low power devices slow.
    I'd frankly get a good external enclosure and buy a bare drive.  But the OWC stuff is quite good - vastly better than some of the majors (WD being aprime example of stuff that's boderline quality and often not compatible)

  • Just bought a 3TB Time Capsule for a small office. Will have 4 users with MacBooks. What would ne the best setup for time machine individual backups and internet sharing in a secure way?

    Just bought a 3TB Time Capsule for a small office. Will have 4 users with MacBooks. What would ne the best setup for time machine individual backups and internet sharing in a secure way?

    Set up each Mac for Time Machine backups in the normal way.  Time Machine will keep each backup separate on the Time Capsule, so users will only be able to see the backups of their own Mac.
    Yes....there are convoluted workarounds that might allow one user to see the backups of another.....IF...they know the administrator password of the "other" Mac.
    As far as Internet sharing, all users will have access to the Internet if they have a wired or wireless connection. If a Mac connects using wireless, it is possible to limit the time that they are allowed to connect to the network.
    For example, you might limit the ability to connect to the wireless from say each Weekday from 8 AM to 6 PM.
    With a wired Ethernet connection, you cannot limit access times to the Internet.

  • Using MacMini for Time Machine Storage & Work?

    I have recently got my brand new Macbook Pro and absolutely love it!
    It replaces my Mac Mini PowerPC G4, which has a hard drive of about 70g.
    It also has all my work on.
    Basically can i use the MacMini for time machine, over an ethernet network, as shared my pro sees the mini when they are both connected to ethernet.
    Is this connection ok for Time Machine?
    Also would it be worth just leaving all my work on the mini and opening it on my pro through the shared network also?
    Work such as using Photoshop and Dreamweaver or would this be hindering the power of the Pro and i might as well copy my work to the Pro and not work over the shared network?
    Or no difference?
    Thanks for any input

    If you install Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) on the Mac mini you can use it as a Networked Time Machine backup device.
    NOTE: Leopard running on the Mac mini is a requirement.
    I have a Mac mini attached to my WiFi network. I use it as my Time Machine network backup device for my MacBook, and my Wife's MacBook Pro. I've added 3TB of external storage (Drobo).
    The only problems I've had a closing the lid on my MacBook while a back was in progress. So I'm very careful about making sure Time Machine is not running and that the Mac mini shared volume is not mounted when I put my MacBook to sleep.
    Setup:
    Install Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) on Mac mini
    Enable file sharing on the Mac mini
    Mount the Mac mini's shared volume on your MacBook Pro
    Configure your MacBook Pro's Time Machine to use the just mounted shared volume.
    Once configured, when Time Machine runs it will automatically mount the Mac mini's shared volume, create a sparsebundle disk image (at config time), and perform Time Machine backups to the sparsebundle.
    The Time Machine applications (viewing/restoring backups) will also automatically mount the Mac mini shared volume.
    NOTE: I am a bit paranoid about backups, so Time Machine is NOT my only backup. I also use SuperDuper! to backup my MacBook each work day onto my PowerMac G5 at work. That way I also have off-site backup.

  • Does anyone know what driver I need to download for my shuffle to work?

    I posted my problem previously in "My shuffle must have transcended the time-space continuum!"
    In the meantime, I called Apple Care. Great job, very polite and helpful. Thank you Apple!!
    Together the agent and I discovered that my Toshiba laptop does not have the drivers needed in order for the ipod to be recognized. Without said driver, I won't be able to use my ipod at all. She said that even with the article that Apple Support has about Toshiba laptops and ipod, that there are still kinks in it.
    So, my question is this...do any of you people out there who are more computer literate than I am know what I should look for to download? The Apple agent didn't know what specific driver I should look for. If anyone knows, please help!
    In the meantime, I'm going to peruse Toshiba's website and see if I can find anything.

    I had the same suggestion given to me by Apple... I went to my USB card manufacturer website (In my case, VIA Communications) and got some info on their forum.
    The most I can understand right now (although I haven't solved my own iPod problem) is that first, you should try updating drivers by right-clicking everything individually in the Device Manager under the "USB" section, and clicking on "Update Driver." Also, make sure you have Windows Service Pack 2, and try updating all of your drivers by going to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ . The Toshiba website might have a driver update or a patch, also... I'd look around, anyway.
    I updated my drivers (which didn't work), and then I came across a paragraph on VIA's website that says:
    "Through feedback in the forums and hundreds of emails over the years, we know that technical support hot-lines for many peripheral (as in printer/scanner/camera etc) manufacturers, tell their customers to "update the drivers" or "update the controller". ... The controller cannot be updated without updating your motherboard to a motherboard that has a later revision controller. ... This is inbuilt and cannot be updated. The advice you received to update the driver or controller, probably means that they recommend that you update the VIA chipset or platform drivers. ... it may well be that the peripheral USB device you want to install is too new for your motherboard and therefore not compatible."
    Basically, this means that if it doesn't work after the driver update, it may not be a driver issue, but a power issue.
    I've been told (not by Apple) to try buying an external USB hub that plugs into the wall. I haven't yet, but as soon as I do, I'll post whether or not it works, lol. For other people, an internal USB2.0 PCI card worked, but I'm not sure if laptops work with them...
    Hope you (and I, and everyone) get it figured out!

  • WVRS4400N wireless router - What do i need to configure for VPN software to work?

    Hi,
    My VPN software can't establish connection ever since i changed to the WVRS4400N router.  What do i need to configure inorder to establish a VPN connection to the outside network?
    On a side note, i am not sure if i am on the right track but i read a little bit about setting IPSec Pass-Through.  If this is the case, do i really need to get all the remote connection information inorder for my VPN software to work?  And under Key Management setting, what would my pre-shared key use for (assuming this is a key i generated)?
    Better yet, how can i get the vpn software to work with only having access to the internet without going through alot of hassle???
    Thanks ahead for any solutions given...

    Thank you for responding.
    If i am not mistaken, i believe what you are suggesting is setting up a VPN connection to my local area network and use the bundled Quick VPN client software to connect.
    I currently have Sentinel VPN software on my laptop and it is configured to have access to my work's network. In most cases, i am able to connect to work without a problem as long as i have internet connection. Apparently, my vpn doesn't work when i am running it behind the WVRS4400N router. This problem didn't occur with my previous router. I believe the WVRS4400N router is blocking the connection by default. What can i do or configure to resolve this?

  • What HD format do I use for Time Machine

    Hi guys,
    I need to clean up my external HD and reformat it before using it with Time Machine. Just wanted to know which format method to use.
    In Disk Utility it offers the following:
    Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    Mac OS Extended
    Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled)
    Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive)
    I'm confused. Which one should I use?
    Thanks for your help,
    Bruce

    it should be mac os extended journaled provided your main drive has the same format. if the main drive is case sensitive, use case sensitive for TM too. also, it should have GUID partition scheme for an intel mac. when you are reformatting the drive (use the "partition" tab in Disk Utility) you can set the partition scheme by clicking on the "options" button.

  • Can I choose which backup for Time Machine to use if I have backups from two macs on one drive?

    I have Time Machine backup on an external drive. I want to mirgrate all my files onto the new Mac Pro but migration is getting hung up and cant find the drive. Can I set up Time Machine for the new mac on this same drive and then select the old macs backup from within Time Machine?

    Most likely, some folders were excluded from your backups as the result of a failed or aborted software installation.
    Starting from a clean installation of OS X, set up a new administrator account and log in. Enter Time Machine and press the key combination shift-command-C. The front window will show all mounted volumes. All snapshots should now be accessible.* Select the one you want and navigate to your home folder (in the Users folder at the top level of the old startup volume.)
    You should now be able to restore your user data. I suggest you do this in two stages. Quit all applications except the Finder before you begin.
    Restore all the visible items at the top level of your home folder.
    Hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar. Enter Time Machine and restore all items in the Library folder. Log out and log back in as soon as the restore is complete.
    Any other invisible folders or files at the top level of your home folder that you want to preserve will have to be restored separately. For most users, that isn't necessary.
    You'll have to reinstall all third-party applications from scratch, or restore them from another kind of backup, if you have one.
    You'll have another problem if this is a new computer, or if you erased the startup volume: The next time you back up, Time Machine won't recognize any files as being the same as they were before, and will make a full copy of all files. There might not be enough space on one or more of your backup volumes for that. There are different ways of dealing with that situation, depending on your needs. The easiest way is to set your backup drives aside, if possible, until you're sure you'll no longer need the data on them, then erase them and start over. Meanwhile start a new backup on one or more empty storage devices. If that solution isn't workable for you, ask for instructions.
    *If you don't see any snapshots in Time Machine, exit the time-travel view and then hold down the option key while selecting
    Browse Other Backup Disks...
    from the Time Machine menu, which has an icon that looks like a clock running backwards. Select the backups of your computer by its previous name. If you don't have the Time Machine menu, open the Time Machine preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked
    Show Time Machine in menu bar

  • HT201250 Should I reformat a external drive for time machine to work?

    I am setting up a new time machine for a new MacBook Pro and am going to use a drive that I previously used for backing up a windows computer. Will I need to reformat to drive. I assume I will have to.

    Yes.. Time Machine requires Mac OS Extended (journaled)

  • I have been using my usb as my backup for time machine and now I want to unlock it and use it as a normal usb. How can I do this?

    I am having trouble switching my usb from a backup for my time machine to a normal usb for my files.

    Have you reformatted the drive?
    Just go to Disk Utility (Applications>Utilities folder), select the drive and erase it, formatting it as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" with a single GUID partition. You may want to change the name of the drive when you erase it.
    Have you tried that?

  • I formatted an external hard drive to my macbook to use for time machine.  I now want to "unformat" it so I can use it as a transfer device (large flash drive).  How do I do it??

    Explains it all ^

    1. Connect the External HD and open Disk Utility in your Utilities Folder.
    2. Highlight the external HD in the list of drives and select the Partition tab.
    3. Under Partition Layout select 1 Partition and click on the Options... button.
    4. Select Master Boot Record in the drop down window and click OK.
    5. Set the Format: to MS-DOS (FAT), name it and click the Apply button.
    6. Click the Partition button.

  • Hi . i just purchase my new matchbook air and my last macbook air backup was save in time machine. Now i want to backup from time machine but this is not showing in backup machine plzz help me out to backup from uncompleted backup ?

    plz help me out

    TimeMachine 'knows' that this is a new computer so you have to open up the TimeMachine control panel and tell it what hard drive to use for backing up. Also the first backup will be a complete backup because it is a different computer.

  • External hard disk for Time Machine

    I'm considering baking up my iMac. I have a Lacie external hard disk with a Master Boot Record partition type. On it, there are already some data files from both Windows and Mac machines.
    I understand that, for Time Machine to work, the partition type needs to be changed to GUID (for Intel based Mac). Obviously, I will need to copy these data files to somewhere, then use Disk Utility to change the partition type, partition the hard disk (one partition to be used for Time Machine back-up).
    My question is, will it be safe to copy the data files (previously from Windows and Mac machines) back to another partition of the hard disk which will then has a GUID partition type? Will the files (including those from Windows machines) be usable?

    You're slightly mixing terminology.
    The *+Partition Map Scheme+* applies to the whole disk, whether it has one or multiple partitions. That's what needs to be GUID or +Apple Partition Map+.
    The Format applies to each partition, and may be different for each one. Your TM partition needs to be +Mac OS Extended (Journaled),+ the other one can be +MS-DOS (FAT)+ for use with Windoze.
    You can copy those files anywhere temporarily, while re-formattng the disk. It doesn't have to be a separate partition. It could even be CDs/DVDs. As long as you can copy and read back, it doesn't matter. If you put them on your boot drive, Windoze won't be able to read them while they're there, but once you get them back on a +MS-DOS (FAT)+ partition, it will.
    See the instructions in item #5 of the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip* at the top of this forum.
    We usually recommend putting the Time Machine partition first (at the top of the diagram that Disk Utility will show you), so you can more easily expand or contract it later on, if you need to.

  • Using 1 disk for time machine and to back up and windows machine

    ok so my parents need to back up their machines, my mother on a mac and my dad on a pc (has to use it for work). we have a single disk drive from OWC and im trying to figure out if i can partition it so my mom can use TM and my dad can still back up his machine on it?
    if i partition it on mac both the partitions get in the journaled format, and if i leave free space on the drive it doesnt show up on mac (didnt try to see if it shows up on my dads pc)
    how should i go about doing this or will it not work?
    -matt

    Some more info would be helpful. Depending on the Mac your mom has it should be partitioned to APM (PPC) or GUID (Intel) although this has been called into question. It should not be MBR.
    The external HDD needs to be plugged into the Mac for Time Machine to work. For Time Machine, that partition needs to be formatted HFS+ (Mac OS Extended - Journaled). The PC partition may not matter as the PC should treat that partition as a network share. However, if your intent is to occasionally plug that external directly into the PC, you need to format that partition FAT/FAT32. The Mac can read and write FAT/FAT32, but it cannot write NTFS (without a paid third party app), hence why I didn't recommend that format. Leave lots of room for the TM backup (2-3 X the Mac's content) as that will gradually grow in size.
