Why won't Time Machine work with MouseKeys?

Why won't Time Machine respond to MouseKeys?

What format did you format the drive in? It should be Mac OS Extended (Journaled). If it isn't, try that and see if it fixes the problem. If it's already in that format I don't have any other ideas.

Why won't Time Machine work with my 3TB LaCie d2 Quadra v3

I just got a brand new iMac a couple of weeks ago and migrated everything from an older iMac. I also bought a bigger external HDD for Time Machine use. I've always had fine luck with LaCie. But every time I try to run a Time Machine backup (whether connected with USB 3.0 or 2.0) on the new HDD I get an error message:
"Time Machine couldn't complete teh backup to 'Time Machine (New)' Unable to complete the backup. An error occurred while creating the backup folder."
I reformatted the drive per LaCie tech instructions, same result.
LaCie says it's a Time Machine problem. Yet Time Machine is working right now with a smaller, older d2 connected via USB 2.0.
I can return the drive and get by with the older drive for now. But I'm sure to need a bigger drive soon.

Why won't time machine work? =[

So I wanted to show my buddy how time machine works. And so I downloaded a picture, titled it and backed up my computer (the picture was located on my desktop). I then proceeded to delete the picture. I went into finder to locate the file and it was not there, because I deleted it. So I opened up time machine and searched for the file with the name I titled it with. I could not find the file! Where did this file go? Did I do something wrong or is time machine still having glitches and problems?
Thanks in advance!

Edited: just realized something, are my hourly backups supposed to be larger then just backing up 1kb? Cause thats like all my computer backs up per hourly back up, or whenever I hit Backup Now!

It's virtually filled with bugs and, in my opinion, was no where near being ready to ship. Lowered my regard for Apple by a fair amount, not that they care.
If your serious about data backup/recovery I'd look elsewhere at the moment.
Bugs I noticed up until it became apparent that it was unusable.
1) Very difficult to install on certain configurations. I succeeded after switching one of my externals to USB and using the other external as my boot drive... less than ideal.
2) System is not able to understand what TM is doing. Tried to restore the iPhoto folder as an experiment. System reported 200+ terrabytes of information to be copied -- 10,000 hours to complete. lol In actuality 10 gigs of which it recovered approximately 2GB in much less time than 10,000 hours, I'd say around 3 minutes --- overall unsuccessful.
3) Corruption of the backup drive's file system to the point of being unmountable or fixable with Disk Utility. Others have recovered with disk warrior -- I just simply plugged it into a PC and reformatted the drive with NTFS then back to the Mac where it was again recognizable. This was the deal breaker.
At anyrate just a glance at these forums should indicate that it is not a good situation. Great idea, just not ready .. how it made it out the door is beyond me... indicating that marketing has superseded the import of at least semi-functional software .. not good.
I've recommended to all the folks I know that use OSX that haven't already upgraded to Leopard to wait... as one of the primary attractions is broken.

Will Time Machine work with an external hard drive connected (via usb) to Airport Extreme?

Will Time Machine work with an external hard drive connected (via usb) to Airport Extreme?

Sorry, but this article is about 4 years old, and was printed based on preliminary information at the time.
The bottom line here is that Apple does not officially support Time Machine backups to a drive at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme.
If it works for you, great.
You might want to review the Apple Support documents below, which are far more recent than the article you reference:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/15139.html
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2038
It is supported.....
This is NOT correct. Please do not post false information on the forums.

Does time machine work with the trash folder?

Does time machine work with the trash folder? So if I have the entire aperture library backed up to the time machine. Is it safe to empty the trash folder in aperture? I am able to recover files from time machine later?

So make a top-level Project called "_Circular File". Put Images in there that you what to have out of your way but not discarded.
It really is good and proper to treat the Trash as trash. I instruct everyone to _empty_ the Aperture Trash at the end of _every_ session. The reason is this: it is the only time you will remember whether it is safe to delete the items in there. If you wait, you will then waste time trying to answer "Did I really mean to throw that out?" or, periodically, you'll give up trying to remember, and will empty the Trash without reviewing it. At the end of every session, examine the Trash, confirm that the items there are trash, and empty it.
Shocking, perhaps, but you should also empty your system trash every day. The real-life equivalents are good guides here. No-one in an office hoards their trash. If you mean to throw something out, throw it out. If you don't mean to throw it out, do not put it in the trash.
I don't know how TM handles the Aperture Trash. I do know, however, that I would not expect this behavior to remain consistent, and would absolutely recommend against a workflow based on it.

Does Time Machine work with a NAS?

Does Time Machine work with a network attached storage drive?
Thanks!
John

the only supported NAS for TM backups is Time Capsule. it also works with drives connected to an Airport Extreme Base Station. al other NASes are unsupported. there are hacks to make TM work with them but you are on your own if you use them

Does Time Machine work with Networked drives yet...?

Yes, I did search, and nothing recent came up.
I have a 500 GB lacie hard drive that is attached to my router, and it works great.
Without using any of those hacks, should Time Machine work properly with a networked drive?

No. At present on drives attached to a Time Capsule seem to work.
My AEBS has a 500GB USB drive attached - and Time Machine won't use it.
My Time Capsule has both the internal 1TB disk and a 1TB external Western Digital drive attached - and the Time Capsule drive and all of the partitions on the USB drive are available for use by Time Machine.
Time Capsule comes with a new version of the Airport Utility (5.3) - I don't see that this is available as a separate download right now.
Perhaps Airports will support Time Machine in the future - but that is by no means guaranteed. I don't think many people know what the hardware differences between an Airport Extreme and a Time Capsule really are.

Time Machine worked- with caveats- but worked

Ok, TIme Machine rocks!
I screwed with some applications, I tried to make the dock and desktop my own and F'd things up.
What I was trying to do was to create stacks in doc.
I wanted stacks for apple apps, stacks for business apps, stack for art, and stacks for personal.
Plus I wanted easy buttons for kids to pick out games as well.
Idea was good but I did not execute it well.
While I can do everything that I wanted to do, what I needed to do was create alias of apps and then put those into folders and drag them into doc. I did not I put apps in folders and tried to put those in dock. I screwed up the computer, BUT I had Time Machine.
With Time Machine you can rescue the whole drive. There are a few caveats here too.
One you have to do this reinstall with the OS-X install disk.
Information is not truly clear on line and I called apple.
When I was trying install the screen said it was going to reinstall system. This made me think that I was going to install system and applications but what about my docs. I was not sure. I called apple and the tech I got on line said no problem I would get all back, he was sure! Then he put me on hold, ask someone made sure, but came back saying I would get everything back. System, programs and docs.
When you do a restart from install disk it gives you choice of install, you have to choose from the above drop down menus- reinstall from time mach. NOT install from main instruction on screen. This is a little hidden but for those with some experience should be easy to find.
I then ran into another issue. I ran reinstall and it looked good till about 4% was completed and then failed. Message said try again or lose all. Not a great message. I did this over and over 5 time, each time same results. I at this point thought I maybe was losing battle. For anyone that has lost data, they know it is a battle to get back data.
I then thought that I have external drives in a dazzy chain over firewire configuration. How about taking the drive with Time Machine back up and making 1st and the solo drive- WORKED.
Took about 3 hours to back up. I have older iMac and others may go quicker.
I did get everything back and was very happy.
Interesting thing after reboot was that the computer had to reintroduce it self.
Programs came up like mail and had too find accounts, mail saved, trashed and still valid.
iphoto and iTunes needed to find their associated files. As when iTunes came up it 1st showed no music, no video, Tv shows, but quickly started to find items.
Lastly Time Machine had to rescan the computer as it does when you 1st install program.
So over all great program!
My one question would be if I am using time mach and computer dies and I tried this reinstall on a new computer would it work as well?

This looks like it was a TERRIBLE restore. The whole point of restoring from a backup is that everything should work as it did on the date of the backup. No missing files, no reconfiguration of applications...

Why won't music match work with my Sonos system now?

I updated my iTunes to music match, because I added a new computer for my wife and she wanted easy access the music library. I used the music match and the iCloud to make it easier to get the music on the new computer. It was fairly simple to set it up, however, when I installed the sonos controller on the new computer, it couldn't find the music library. Why won't my sonos work, when I can see the music on iTunes in its library.

Maybe the speakers are not compatible with your computer. Contact the manufacturer.
You can try Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM to see if that resolves the issue.

HT201250 Why won't Time Machine won't restore my iphoto library [says there is not enough room on my hard drive.] Any ideas?

I've got 20,000 plus photos on my HD [yes, I know, way tooo many]. I'm trying to clean up by storing them on an external HD, but for several months I've not been able to export iphoto [even geniuses can't figure out why]. So as a work around, I'm trying to export events and albums to external. However, I realized that I didn't export in the original format making the files too small. Now, I just want to restore my iphoto library to the date before I started this process and when I try to restore from Time Machine, it comes up with an error message that I don't have enough room on my HD. Any ideas out there? [The reason I want to restore is because I started to delete some of the iphoto files from my HD to clean it up and I want to get back to the original format for export].

In the simplest sense, archiving a file means making a copy that you never change and never discard. You already know how to do that.
iPhoto has built-in archival features, in the sense that it saves all versions of an image that you've modified. As long as you have adequate backups, you don't necessarily have any reason to archive an iPhoto library. If you want to delete images from the working library but still have access to them in case you change your mind, then you do need to archive those images. I don't have a specific suggestion as to how you should do that. You might post a question in the iPhoto forum.

Time Machine Work With Airport?

I am looking to buy a MacBook Pro and so am considering getting an Airport router so that I can plug in my printers via a USB powered hub that I already have.
Is it feasible to also use USB to plug in an external hard drive and expect the MBP to recognize it for use with TimeMachine?
If I were to do the initial backup using firewire 800 and then switch to the USB for incremental backups does that work?
And by the way are Time Machine backups bootable as SuperDooper ones are?

Thank you,
I am pretty much resigned to going with Firewire 800 and plugging/unplugging the cable as necessary.
However I wonder why it is such a bad idea? If it works I would be able to do backups where ever I am working in my studio instead of the odd times I would be working at the desk where the external drive is located. It is also my experience that if you have to plug in something that is non-essential (anything other than power, mouse and keyboard) that the plug ins will be forgotten when in a hurry or distracted.
Is it the speed of the airport connection that makes it a bad idea? Or something else?
My understanding is that Apple originally intended Airport Extreme to work with Time Machine, but that they dropped support for it subsequently. If true then Apple appears to have thought it a good idea at one time.

Why won't time machine back up my computer?

Message was edited by: Linda K. Kadota My last back up was over 12 hours ago. I want to upgrade my computer with a new hard disc, so I removed Microsoft office, and now my computer will not work with Time Machine. I intended to take this computer into the shop 8 hours ago. Does anyone know what is wrong? I'm using OS X Mavericks 10.9.2.

In order to clone my hard drive, I would have to go out and buy another external hard drive. I have five obsolete drives sitting on the floor under my desk. I'm not really interested in going out and buying another new drive after spending a lot of money on a Time Capsule that is supposed to do the job--make that 3 Time Capsules.
If it were a corrupt file on the computer, why does the problem occur with all my computers running Mavericks (2) and doesn't occur on computers running Snow Leopard (2)? Unless the corrupted file came from Apple when I downloaded Mavericks, I don't see how the same problem could occur on both computers. (And the Apple tech person here in Japan admitted to me that others have complained of the same problem).
Actually, today is only the second time TM has failed on the computer I'm now using. It has failed repeadedly on my newer computer since November, 2014, and the release of iTunes 11.
I ended up doing a clean install of my new computer after the hard disc failed, but it is still acting buggy.
I'm curious about your offer to help. Do I need a couple of screwdrivers to do a clone back up? Or do I need the screwdrivers to replace my hard drive? I don't know how to do a clone back up, but I assume that I just need the right software program and a second drive. I will have the Apple Tech people replace my drive for me, so don't need to know how to do that. I've seen it done once and that was enough to convince me to leave the task to experts.

Why won't Time Machine back up onto this external hard drive?

I re-formatted a SimpleTech 320gb hard drive so it would erase the music and videos on it and format it for use with Time Machine. I thought it all went smoothly but then the initial back up which is about 91gb stops after it backs up about 22gb and says an error occured. No matter how many times I restart everything and try to back up more, it doesn't work. I've even tried using disk utility to erase it and that didn't work either. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

First, deselect the drive as your TM backup drive, then turn off TM. Now try this:
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. If you need to reformat your startup volume, then you must boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the number of partitions from the drop down menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Be sure to re-select the drive for the TM backup drive.
