What is wrong with Time Machine_need help

I run a PowerMac G5 with 2 internals 250Gb drives. The second one is on Do not backUp in the TM options.
Here is the question. I had a 500Gb external for TM, and it kept close to 6 months of backups.
It died on me and I repaced it with a new one (laCie 500Gb) on Oct 10/09 and started a new TM backup program. As of today, my oldest backUp on TM is Feb 02/2010 and I see only 12 backUps above Latest.
I downloaded the Widget you mentioned and the last entry is:
Starting standard backup
Backing up to: /Volumes/TimeMachine/Backups.backupdb

I am not doing anything different as before, so what is happening,
Need your help.

get TimeTracker http://www.charlessoft.com/ or Backuploupe and see what exactly is being backed up every time. it will give you a better idea of why the backups are so large.

  • What Is Wrong With My Program Help

    This Is The Assignment I Have To Do:
    Write a Java program that prints a table with a list of at least 5 students together with their grades earned (lab points, bonus points, and the total) in the format below.
    == Student Points ==
    Name Lab Bonus Total
    Joe 43 7 50
    William 50 8 58
    Mary Sue 39 10 49
    The requirements for the program are as follows:
    1.     Name the project StudentGrades.
    2.     Print the border on the top as illustrated (using the slash and backslash characters).
    3.     Use tab characters to get your columns aligned and you must use the + operator both for addition and string concatenation.
    4.     Make up your own student names and points -- the ones shown are just for illustration purposes. You need 5 names.

  • HELP My webcam has horrible picture, horrible pixel capture rate, ect. What's wrong with it? HELP

    I (try to) use a Creative Live! Cam Video IM Pro webcam. The sound seems to work great. The effects I can add to the videos seem wonderful. There is only one major problem......the picture on this webcam is abysmal. It isn't just too dark or too sloppy or whatever, the whole pixel capturing rate seems heavily flawed. The webcam picture (both video recording, photo capture, and everything else) is extremly blurry and my face looks like a moving colored blob. The video picture looks like a tiny picture that has been enlarged a lot that you can see the little pixel squares, and the problem gets worse when you actually start the recording and is incoherent.
    The webcam is relatively new and cost me $50. Now this may not be a particularly expensi've webcam but it doesn't mean the picture should be as bad as a video from the 930s (worse in fact but with color). What is wrong with my webcam and what can I do to fix the picture?

    I think you can thank Apple for this.  See this discussion.

  • What is wrong with Icalendar? HELP!!

    I have recently lost all my calendar entries On My Mac OSX 10.5 plus Ipad and Iphone and I am left just with the last six weeks of the year. For 2011 it has taken reminders and birthdays and multiplied them by 10 in some cases!? How do I get my past years entries back and as I have now gone through next year manually to delete, how do I know this will not happen the minute I will synch my Ipad and Iphone.

    I finally figured it out. It was combination of things.

    Edit: thanks for cross-posting this question on another forum. I now see that I wasted my time trying to study your code in the java-forums to help you with an answer that had already been answered elsewhere (here). Do you realize that we are volunteers, that our time is as valuable as yours? Apparently not. Cross-post again and many here will not help you again. I know that I won't.

  • I need help figuring out what is wrong with my Macbook Pro

    I have a mid 2012 Macbook Pro with OS X Mavericks on it and for the past few weeks it has running VERY SLOW! I have no idea what is wrong with it, i have read other discussion forums trying to figure it out on my own. So far i have had no luck in fixing the slowness. When i open applications the icon will bounce in dock forever before opening and then my computer will freeze with the little rainbow wheel circling and circling for a few minutes... and if i try to browse websites it take forever for them to load or youtube will just stop working for me. Everything i do, no matter what i click, the rainbow wheel will pop up! The only thing i can think of messing it up was a friend of mine plugging in a flash drive a few weeks ago to take some videos and imovie to put on his Macbook Pro, he has said his laptop has been running fine though... so idk if that was the problem. Anyways, could someone please help me try something? Thank you!!

    Perhaps the PDF files are corrupted.
    Hit the command key and spacebar, a blue Spotlight in the upper right hand corner appears, now type Preview and press return on the Preview program.
    Now you can try opening the PDF's from the file menu and see what's going on.
    If they are corrupted, perhaps they are trojans from your Windows PC or gotten from a bad location online.
    Download the free ClamXav and run a scan on the possibly infected folder.

    I don't know what's wrong with my 3GS. It only shows the black screen with white apple. Home button and turning the phone off then on doesn't seem to do anything.

    Thanks Lucas,
    I've tried doing that with no results. Same screen keeps showing. Maybe it'd be more helpful if I told you a bit more info.  My phone was randomly playing music, and the voice control would also suddenly start without me touching the phone.  Then I let the battery die and started to recharge when on the screen it indicated to plug into my computer/iTunes, I tried to restore but was getting an error message (can't remember what it said now). Battery died and now my current issue of the black screen with white apple.  I'd love to be able to restore my phone but now its not showing as a device on my iTunes. HELP! Any other suggestions?

  • What's wrong with my device?  It does not allow me to make calls with Skype or Viber...  Can someone help?

    What's wrong with my device?  It does not allow me to make calls with Skype or Viber...  Can someone help?

    My device is a Blackberry Z30.  Skype and Viber just to work fine.  I had to travel abroad and turn off data services while traveling outside of the US but the applications worked just fine with Wi-Fi.  Suddenly they stopped working to make calls.  I can still send text messages, but when I try to do a voice or video call (in the case of skype), it only says "failed call" and when I try to call using Viber I get an error message that says the I can not use the application until I complete my GMS call which is ridiculous because I'm not using the phone other than trying to place my call through Viber. The interesting thing is that when I go the permission page in my security settings everything indicates that its on but is gray out and I do not have access to change any setting.  The same in both applications.  The rest of the applications are accessible to change settings.   I already uninstalled skype and reinstalled it and still the same problem.  I'm ready to back up everything and wipe out the device to original settings.

    I am getting the error "We're sorry we cannot complete your request on the iTunes store at this time. Please try again later." on both my iPhone and iTunes on my computer. What is wrong with iTunes? Is the server down or what? I need to download some things and update some apps...

    I've been getting the same message for like an hour now.  Since everything was working fine a few hours ago, and nothing changed on my end before it stopped working, I'm guessing it's something on Apple's end.  They probably already know about it by now, and are hopefully working on fixing it, so there's probably not much we can do but wait for them to fix it.
