What is error code -6584???

What is "An unexpected error occurred (error code -6584)"?
Just bought time capsule, have 10.8.2. Am using the data storage part of time casule just fine. Configured time machine, all seemed fine. It started a countdown to start a backup (which I interrupted because of other work I was doing at the moment).
Ever since then I have not been able to initiate time machine to do a backup. Get the above unexpected error.
Whaaat? Anyone have an idea? AP

It means the TM cannot access the disk.. Reboot the TC and computer.. that often fixes things.. otherwise you need to verfiy the backup or start over.
See A5 for backup verify. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html

HT1178 What does (error code -6584) mean?

I have recently bought a new MacBook Pro and migrated all my data from my old MacBook Pro to the new one. Now my new MacBook will not connect with the Time Capsule - I just get a message that:
The operation can’t be completed.
An unexpected error occurred (error code -6584).

(error code -6584) unfortunately won't tell you much that you do not already know....the connection attempt failed. That was the "unexpected error".
You may have already done this...but your post did not indicate whether you had.
Complete power cycle of the entire network....
Power everything down in any order you want
Wait a minute
Start the modem first, and let it run a minute or two
Router next (might be your Time Capsule) the same way
Continue starting devices one at a time about a minute apart
Did you completely reset the connection path in Time Machine Preferences to "point" your Mac at the Time Capsule disk?
If not, click the Time Machine "clock" icon at the top of the Mac's screen
Click Open Time Machine Preferences
Click Select Disk
Click your Time Capsule to highlight it
Click Use Backup Disk

What is error code -6584 as related to Time Machine?

When I try to access time machine on my Macbook Pro I get an error code -6584. I'm using a 1Tb Time Capsule.

First, if this is your only backup, you must make another full backup to a locally-attached external hard drive. One backup is never enough to be safe, and backing up over a network is less reliable than backing up locally. Then try each of the following steps that you haven't already taken.
1. Restart the backup device. You can do that by disconnecting and reconnecting the power cord.
2. Hold down the option key and select Verify Backups from the TM menu in the menu bar (not the Dock icon.) This operation may take a long time. If the menu-bar icon (a clock that runs backwards) isn't showing, check Show Time Machine in menu bar in the preferences.
3. Erase the backup device. With a Time Capsule, you do that from within the AirPort Utility application; see its built-in help for details. All backups will be lost, so don't do this until you've backed up to another device. After erasing, select the TC again as a backup destination in the TM preference pane. The first backup should be made over a wired connection, if possible.

I'm getting this error message, "An unexpected error occurred (error code -6584)" Does any know what this is?

HT201514 Time Machine - Error code -6584, what to do?

I have received the the following message from my Time Machine - The operation can't be completed An unexpected error occured (error code -6584)
What do I do to resolve it?
I have restarted the time machine.

There are several references to the error in discussion if you look at the more like this on the right ..
This one has some answers.. basically option click on the Time Machine icon and use the verfiy backups.

I don't think Pondini lists that particular error but it is caused by a combo of issues.
He has a few answers listed in the post above.
You have listed the OS is 10.7.4 Is this correct??
There was a supplement to 10.7.5 to fix some serious TM issues.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1599
Then just follow some of the instructions in the pondini trouble shooting.
If the backups are corrupted you might need to erase and start again.. this is not unusual with wireless connection.

What does an unexpected error occurred (error code -6584) when opening time machine

After a terminal hard drive fail in my 2007 imac which was backed up to time machine I tried to restore some data onto my replacement imac 2.9 late 2012.
I did this via migration assistant - it was a long process about 4 hours - so I went to bed and left it running.
When I returned to the imac I found I had my old programs back but none of the data assosiated with them - word but no documents, garage sale but no templates and itunes but no music...
This is my entire music collection of around 300 gig and all my Garage Sale templates which represent years of work.
Is there anyway to bypass or overcome the error so I can at least get the data mentioned above back?
any help greatly appreciated
best wishes

To fix the error code -6584 you would need to verify and repair your Time Machine Backup.
Go to System Preferences > Time Machine.
Hold down the Option key on your keyboard and click the Time Machine menulet and then selecting "Verify Backups".

HT1218 Time Capsule is showing error code -6584)

My Time Capsule is showing error code - "An unexpected error occurred (error code -6584)"; can someone tell me what this means? Correlated, Time Machine does not show any backed up data although it says that ~400 GB out of 1 TB is remaining.

First one is good.. anything Pondini responds to listen. https://discussions.apple.com/message/17748380#17748380
A simple reboot of the whole network.. from off.. modem .. router/TC.. clients.. 2min gap will probably fix it.
If it keeps happening, tell us your OS. (Most likely Mountain Lion.. which has networking ability of wet string and a pair of tin cans).

Error code 6584

When opening Time Machine I get an error message "error code 6584"
Otherwise Time Machine seems to be working.
Does anyone know what this error code means and what is its significance?

After a full restore from Time Machine, I get "error code -6584" when trying to go into TM.

I took our iMac in, at the direction of Apple, to have the hard drive replaced. When we got it back, I restored from Time Machine (on Time Capsule). One file on the desktop, a spreadsheet file, has reverted to a version five months old, with the loss of considerable data, so I don't know which files I can now trust. Also, when I try to go into Time Machine, I get "error code -6584" and am unable to access my backups
This is potentially very very bad. What can I do?

Solved:
sudo chflags 0 /Volumes/"FCP Time Machine BU"
sudo chown 0:80 /Volumes/"FCP Time Machine BU"
sudo chmod 775 /Volumes/"FCP Time Machine BU"
sudo chmod -N /Volumes/"FCP Time Machine BU"

What does (error code -600) mean?

What does (error code -600) mean?
I received this code in a pop up window while trying to open iTunes from my Apps folder.

procNotFound
= -600, /*no eligible process with specified descriptor*/
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
Any change?
