Where can I find Time Machine error codes?

Hi, My time machine backup keeps failing with error code 11. I can't find documentation explaining error codes, can anybody point me in the right direction?
thx!

At this point TM error codes are best known by the Apple Tech support people or at least they will have access to the software engineers who will have this knowledge. As fas as I know there's no definitive list of TM error code available to users/customers.
You can always send Apple feedback on this issue.

Where can I find my pictures in Time Machine?

In the Finder I can find my pictures after right-clicking IPhoto and then under Originals. But when I open Time Machine and want to check if my data have been backuped correctly I can find my music and documents but not my Pictures. Where can I find them?

Open iPhoto and select Browse Backups from the File menu. iPhoto's library is stored in the /Home/Pictures/ folder.

Where can I find, in time machine, the file of Wi-Fi associated

When I upgraded I started with a fresh install because I wanted that many things remain only in the backup.
Now where can I find the file association to networks of all wi-fi that I had before?
Let me know if i can see hidden files in Time Machine.
Thanks

The file is located in the startup disk at
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
so it is gone if you installed on a wiped disk. There is an option in the Time Machine software when you restore your files to select network settings, you would have needed to enable that to get the file. You may still be able to find that file and manually restore it but beware its ownership should be 644 root wheel. Also, close System prefs before restoring the file.

Welcome to the WD Community.
1) I assume I can just hook the unit up via USB to my Mac and use iPartiion to reformat the drives, assuming each of the 4T drives will be seen by iPartition as a separate drive. That much seems straighforward.
Yes, and in case you ipartition dont see the unit properly, you can use the disk utilities on your Mac and you will be able to reformat the unit to make it compatible with your system.
2) Is my next step to reinstall the WD software and how do I do that? I've downloaded the Drive Utilities and Securities install apps - I assume I just run these with the drive still connected and that's all I need to do?
Yes, just run the applications.
3) What about the firmware update for Mac - when should I run that??
Normally, firmware updates are released to fix any issues that you might encounter on the drive. the latest one was released on 9/24/2014 and it fixed an issue with the drive dropping off of the list after system wakes up from standby mode.
5) And what about the "My Book Live Duo Setup" app for Mac - is that for a completely different model? What's the difference between "My Book Live Duo" and "My Book Duo"? It's these little things that I find so confusing.
Those are different units. The MBL Duo is a NAS (Network attached system) and the My Book Duo is a DAS (Direct attached system)
6) Lastly, when I have all the software installed, is that when I follow the procedure described in the Knowledge Base article ID 5724, "How to install a My Book Live or My Book Live Duo on Windows (8, 7, Vista, or XP) or Mac OSX for the first time"? Or is that procedure only for "My Book Live Duo" but not for "My Book Duo"??
That procedure is for the network units, not for your drive.

Just need to find an older email in time machine. Where can I find it? i.e in which folder etc.
Thanks heaps.
Gerard

Bring the Mail browser window forward, then enter Time Machine. Scroll back in the time-travel view to the most recent snapshot containing the messages you want to restore. Select the messages, then click Restore. The messages will be restored to a new mailbox. From there you can move them wherever you like.

Where can I find what the error messages of Time Machine means?

Checking my System Log Queries I found the following:
Could not back up OS X Recovery to /Volumes/Backup2/Backups.backupdb: Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-10 "Could not create com.apple.Boot.plist for recovery set" (kCFURLUnknownError / dsMacsBugInstalled: ) UserInfo=0x7fed8b312100 {NSLocalizedDescription=Could not create com.apple.Boot.plist for recovery set}
Can anyone explain what this means, and is it "fatal" in such a way that the backup made is useless for restoring? Where can I find documentation for such messages?

I reinstalled OS X just as you recommended. It seems that the error message concerning the Recovery set changed:

HT201250 where can i find the time machine password

Where can i find the time machine password?

There is no such thing.
If you're backing-up to a network drive (Time Capsule, NAS, etc.), that drive may have a password.
If you're backing-up to an encrypted external HD, you'll need the encryption password.
Please clarify what version of OSX you're running (your profile says Leopard, but you've posted in the Lion forum), what you're backing-up to, and exactly what message you're getting and when (a screenshot would be fine).

I want to run apple Hardware Test but can't find it on any CD's. I bought my iMac in 2009. I think it had 10.4 installed. It's not on my installation disk. Where can I find it?

I want to run Apple Hardware Text but can't find it on any CD's. I bought my iMac in 2009. It came with 10.4. Apple Hardware Test is not on the installation disk. Should I have it? Where can I find it? I"m now running 10.7.4.

The disc plainly state:
To use the AHT, hold down the D key as the computer starts up.
Works here. However, there was an issue with installing Lion that screwed this process up.
Mount disc 2, run this command in the Terminal app, OPTION-click & hold Finder's Dock icon, and select RELAUNCH:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1
That unhides all hidden files/folders.
Now, drill down to /"Applications Install\ Disc"/System/Library/CoreServices/ and drag the .diagnostics folder into your Lion boot volume's /System/Library/CoreServices/ folder. That might require you to authenticate to copy the folder into the CoreServices subfolder.
Run this command to hide the normally hidden files/folders and RELAUNCH the Finder again.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 0
This should allow the machine to boot into AHT when restarting and holding down the D key.
If that doesn't do the trick, run this command in the Terminal app:
sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/CoreServices/.diagnostics
At the Password: prompt, carefully type in your admin password, since nothing shows up on the screen, and hit the return key. Then, try another restart, holding down the D key.

Where can I find OS 10.4.11 to install to my old PowerBook G4?

Hello.
I have an old Powerbook G4 on which I had installed OS 10.4.11,
but I can't seem to find the cd to reinstall. It is running a bit slow as it has been many years, and I wanted to format the hard drive and reinstall the same OS.
I also have Mac OS leopard, but i think it might be too heavy for this old machine.
1. What is the latest OS I can put on this powerbook so that it still runs smoothly?
2. If i want to install 10.4.11 where can I find it?

Tiger install DVDs are in short supply. Tiger is no longer available at the Apple Store *but may be available for $129 by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753)*. For other sources, do a Google search for [b]MA453Z/A (10.4.6)[/b], [b]MA190Z/A (10.4.3)[/b] and [b]M9639Z/A (10.4) [/b]. Also look on eBay. Be sure & buy a retail version (black with silver X) <img src="http://www.macmaps.com/tiger.jpg"> and not a model specific version (gray) (See <b><a href=" http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1976068" target="new"> Can I use another Mac's system restore disc on my Mac?</a></b> ). Expect to pay (possibly a lot) more than the Apple list price of $129.

After you install the base 10.4.x, update to the final Tiger version 10.4.11. Here's the link for the 10.4.11 combo update http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US

Be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings. Also, repair permissions before and after the install.

When I click "about this mac" to check on my storage, I get a number of different sections music, movies, etc. but also I get a section called backups, where can I find the files in this section?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
All the storage in "Backups" is taken up by local snapshots, which are made automatically in all MacBooks, MacBooks Pro and MacBooks Air with OS X Lion or newer and Time Machine turned on.
See > http://pondini.org/TM/30.html I recommend you to leave them there, because they will be removed automatically. However, if you want, you can disable or remove them manually if you want, even if there's no reason to do this. Have a look at the link above for more information
