Why am I seeing backups on my MacPro HD & not on my TC?

I'm sure is a lack of understanding how the TC works & apple's way of doing things (am a recent convert to Apple)....but seems strange that my local (macpro) is filling up with backup files and not the TC.  Is this correct?
I've got abt 200GB of 'stuff' showing of various types, then 200GB of 'backups'....surely the last 200gb should be on the TC?!  Where the TC is showing 75GB used.
Am I missing something here?
thanks in anticipation.

If you're running Lion, those are probably Local Snapshots.  They're temporary and expendable, so you'll have access to them when you're away from your Time Capsule.   And they're deleted automatically if your disk gets more than 80% full.   See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #30 for all the gory details.
However, it's also possible your Mac lost contact with your Time Capsule at just the wrong time, and did start putting actual Time Machine backups in a "false volume" on your internal HD.  See the blue box in Where did my Disk Space go? to check and fix that.

  • Why can I see other peoples' WiFi networks but not my own?

    This is a problem that started when an engineer came to replace our TV's set top box as well as our router a few weeks ago. I'll run through everything in quick bullet-point form...
    -My flatmates are able to see and connect to our network with no issues at all on their XP laptops.
    I, on the other hand, can not see or connect to our network at all. However, I am able to see other WiFi networks.
    -Days of rebooting and replugging the router, my iMac and AirPort card prove fruitless.
    -Throughout all this, the router is sat on top of the set top box, which is sat on top of the TV. I move the router down so its sat next to the TV and a plant. I'm able to see and connect to our network with no issues.
    -Three weeks later, the problem has returned. I can't see our network but my flatmates aren't affected.
    -Thinking it may just be poor reception in my room, I set up my Mac in the front room a couple of feet away from the router. I detect other networks, but still not my own.
    -More unplugging and rebooting later, hallelujah, I can see and connect to our network. I take the Mac back to my room and try from there. No luck. The familiar XBoxLive8973498374, BT-HomeHub8934897, TalkTalk439847 (etc) and Sofia networks come up in my networks list as usual but not our own SpeedTouch459873439847 (etc).
    We have a Thomson ST 585 router and I have an iMac G4 with the original AirPort card. Short of buying a new router, does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening and how to fix it?

    This is what MacStumbler sees when my Mac is situated a couple of feet from the router in the front room:
    http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3051/2308676274_00f5eba51c.jpg?v=0
    Our network is the one labelled SpeedTouch. As you can see, my AirPort antenna seems to be working perfectly. However, the SpeedTouch connection (and only the Speedtouch connection) would be lost intermittently for several minutes at a time.
    This is what MacStumbler sees when my Mac is in my room:
    http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3184/2308733380_dcdc2faccd.jpg?v=0
    The SpeedTouch signal strength is obviously not as strong but still reasonable. I don't seem to have any issues anymore; I can see, connect and stay connected to our network with no real problem - but I haven't changed any settings on the router.

  • Why can I see photos in photo view, but now event view?

    Why can I see photos in photo view, but not in event view. The event shows up, but when I open the event, it says there are no photos in the event. The only way I can actually open a photo in the event is to be in photo view, and open the photo from that view.

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • Why are my RMAN backup files still around?

    Environment:

    Good Morning (at least it's morning here at the moment),
    I have a test database that I currently have set up to do an Incremental Level 0 backup every morning at about 03:00.
    I also do an 'archivelog backup all' every 4 hours during the day.

    Michael,
    I read Ed's thread and I understand about the timing of the Full (Incr Lvl 0) and the incrementals.
    In my case I'm not doing any incrementals (Incr Lvl 1) of the database, just Incr Lvl 0 every day. I do the archivelog backups during the day to keep the /arch mount point under control.
    So, if I have Incremental Level 0 backups on the 19th, 20th, 21st, 22nd, ..... With an 8 day recovery window I shouldn't need the ones from the 19th or 20th at a minimum and possibly the 21st depending on when the math is done. Right?
    Am I missing something?
    *************** NEWS FLASH ******************
    Whoops!!! Egg on my face! I just checked back in my email logs of the backups and now recall there were some disk space issues around that time that caused the backups to fail and it just so happens that the backups on the 20th, 21st and 22nd all failed.
    I should learn to trust RMAN more. It is obviously smarter than me!! :-)
    Sorry for the red flags. I'll do my homework more completely next time.
    Not a problem. We've all been there, done that.
    I can't tell you how many times I've been stuck on something, run out of ideas on my own research and thrown a question to the forum, and no sooner to I hit the 'send' button that a light goes on and I quickly get my own answer.
    At least I understand the recovery window scenario better.
    Thanks very much for the help and I'll see you the next time.
    Have a great day!

  • Why I cant see all my info on the icloud??

    Why I cant see all my info (that I have on my ipad) in the webpage of icloud?? Even if I just sincronized them...

    You can see the Apple data (contacts, emails, calendars, etc.) but you can't see backups, other app data, etc.  That's how icloud is designed - to see whatever data you want use the appropriate app on your computer or device.

  • HT3819 why cant i see my shared button on my itunes after i sync my acounts together?

    why cant i see the "shared" button thing when i sync my itunes together?

    Whats happened then is iTUnes basicly "Copied" its empty library file onto the iPod. When you connect the iPod to iTUnes it copys music over AND the library/database iTUnes has. Id say the music is there, but the iPOd Library hhas no "Link" or "Direction" to ponit to these files so it shows nothing.
    The only option you have now is using yamipod http://www.yamipod.com/main/modules/home/ and seeing if it can recover these songs for you off the ipod. Read the "docs" on yamipods home page here to learn how to use it and what feature you need to use to recover off the iPod (Like Find lost music and repair iPOd) http://www.yamipod.com/main/modules/docs/
    If it can not recover songs off the iPod, and you have no backups made, your going to be VERY limited in your options. you will have to "Re" import all your CDs. All songs you bought online you will have to email apple and see if they will offer a "Re" download of them. Keep in mind there under NO obligation to do so, but most have had success in emailing them and getting an offer to redownload songs they bought and have not be modified on the store. here a link to email the music store if you need to as a last resort http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/musicstore/download/
    To backup music once you recover everything you can go here and follow steps http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/musicstore/backup/

  • Why Only Most Recent Backup?

    My employer, in error, issued a remote wipe command to my iPhone 3GS, which wiped out not only my employer's account, but also my personal accounts. I tried to regain my personal account data by restoring my iPhone from backup as in the instructions on Apple's support Web pages, however, when I get to the restore from backup part, I don't have a list of backups, I can only restore from the most recent one, which was made when I hooked up the iPhone to my Mac Pro to do this procedure, so it was made with no accounts installed. Anyone have any idea why a list of backups does not show up in the drop-down, the way it is portrayed on the support page? I sync every few days, and according to the status bar in iTunes, the iPhone is backed up every time. Thanks for any help.
    Steve

    Only one backup is kept by itunes(this backup is overwritten each time you sync), except for restore backups, which are not overwritten & are kept by time & date stamp. The reason you don't see any other backups listed is because you most likely have never restored your phone. If you performed a sync before you restored from backup, your backup was overwritten & that's why your info was not replaced.
    If you backup your computer, you can extract your backup from that computer backup, replace the one on your computer with this & restore from that backup. DO NOT SYNC before restoring from this backup. You will be given the option to create a backup before you restore, decline.

  • HT4539 why i cant see ISO software update.i try everything.

    why i cant see ISO software update.i try everything.

    How have you tried to update the iPad to iOS 6.1.3 ? The page that you posted from, automatic downloads, isn't for iOS updates, only for content from the store.
    If you have iOS 5+ on your iPad then you should have a Settings > General > Software Update option for direct update on the iPad, otherwise you can only update to the current version via your computer's iTunes.
    To update via your computer, connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off it to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11). You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes (on iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

  • Why can i see only one picture in the illustration windows with iTunes 10.5.1?

    why can i see only one picture in the illustration windows since iTunes 10.5.1?

    Assuming Apple doesn't eviscerate the files of the secondary graphics with another upgrade, there could be a plug in that reads the graphic and runs along side iTunes..we should get someone or Apple to program an alternative If we have to accept this downgrade in iTunes proper.
    I've developed a quick workaround, and am still hoping Apple will fix this!
    Go To Get Info on the tune you want to see secondary artwork for.
    Go To the Artwork tab
    Drag the back cover to the desktop, and it will create a new jpg you can open with quick viw or prieview where you can see it large!
    you end up with a lot of jpgs on the desktop to discard!

  • Why is Time machine backup not working after Mavericks upgrade?

    Why is Time machine backup not working after Mavericks upgrade?

    I had the same problem due to the Fire Wire port.  Apple tested it told me it is OK!, I tried a new cable, and have tested both ports on my back up device.  I find it strange that as soon as I installed Mavericks.  The drive does work using USB.  It could be a coincidence, I don't absolutely know at this point, my back up drive ports could stop working, but I doubt it!
