• Cannot remove old Time Capsule for time Machine destinations

  My MacBook Pro moves with me between my home office and the different clients that I visit. At home, Time Machine backs up a volume of Time Machine on my Xserve served to the network by OS X Server. I guess that for the Mac it looks like a Time Capsule, although in my case, it's a RAID 5 with 12 TB of capacity.

  The problem, when I connect to one network other than my home network. As you can see, the window from system preferences Time Machine offer 'Time Machine backup on 'Dominik AirPort Extreme' network', which is not actually present on any network. When I go home, Time Machine continues to try to save this destination does not exist and does not back up the volume on my Xserve. I have to manually switch for my Mac starting the backup on the Xserve again.

  

  How can I make my Mac forget this volume forever? A couple of system reinstalls, to the end that I use the Migration Wizard to copy the configuration of the system from a backup, have not helped.

  On the computer of my wife as a backup destination appears, the good pair:

• Cannot print with HP6840 since I added the password to the Apple AirPort Extreme network

  I recently added to my Mac Airport Extreme network WPA password protection. While I can access the network from my computer, I can't print a HP6840, one of my two wireless printers, even if there is no problems prior to the addition of password.

  I can always print to my old HP LaserJet 6MP using an AppleTalk-Ethernet bridge and managed to reconfigure my second wireless printer to work with the new password.

  I already tried the following:

  Uninstalled/reinstalled the original CD and more recent software/drivers HP printer

  Tried to printer configuration using the Ethernet - half thanks looking for printer, received an error message "Communication error with a printer" and the installation process has failed.

  Checked: Safari bookmarks / Hello: printer does not appear

  Computer and the printer turned off and restarted the computer

  None of these attempts succeeded.

  Any suggestions on how to restore my wireless printing?

  Thank you.

  Mac OS 10.5.7 iMac with Intel processor

  I spent 3 hours on the phone this morning with the HP Technical Support. While the call cost me $35, it's probably money well spent. After trying all kinds of approaches to installation, we finally concluded that the villain was probably the combination of personal WPA2 to authenticate password on my network and the inability of the HP6840 printer (now almost 5 years) to support WPA2. Tech said that WPA2 wasn't around 5 years.

  So I have two options: delete the password completely and let my unprotected network, use a WEP password (which can create an Apple AirPort and the printer can recognize) or try a WPA password. However, it seems that the airport offer only WPA-Personal and WPA Enterprise, while the printer does not seem to accept the WPA.

  Even if I don't really relish change passwords again, it seems that WEP is the way to go.

  Hope this helps those trying to install old printers on the new networks.

• Should what format I use for my external drive for time machine?  I have a WD 2 TB that is formatted for PC new drive.

  Should what format I use for my external drive for time machine?  I have a WD 2 TB that is formatted for PC new drive.  When I got to disk utilities to erase, and then reformat the options are

  1 mac OS extended (journaled)

  2 mac OS extended (journaled, encrypted)

  3 mac OS Extended (respect for case-sensitive, journaled)

  4 mac OS extended (case-sensitive, journaled, encrypted)

  See the information below If you can not back up or restore your Mac with the help of Time Machine - Apple Support

  When you select a drive to use with Time Machine, your Mac automatically prompts you if you need to reformat the drive.

  • If you are using an external drive connected to your Mac, use disk utility to make sure that your backup disk is formatted in HFS + extended (journaled) and is the partition type GUID Partition Table (GPT).
  • If you use a time Capsule, formatting the drive for Time Machine preferences automatically formats the drive as HFS + Extended (respect for case-sensitive, journaled) with a GUID Partition Table (GPT).

• You can use a zip for time machine drive?

  I know he said 'external hard drive', but do not know if this means that you can use a zip for time machine drive? (including so you can back up your entire OS, but also files)

  Probably yes, but just wonder how to connect ZIP drive to your iMac.

• What is the best solution when my external drive for Time Machine is full?

  Hello

  I use the latest version of Mac OS X on my iMac 27 ". I use a drive outside of 3 TB G-Tech for Time Machine backup. Due to my recently many RAW photo images, I have less 8% left storage on my external hard drive, so I'm trying to figure out next steps in what concerns the strategy of external storage and have the following questions:

  • When my external drive for Time Machine is full, it is my understanding that older backups on external hard drive will be deleted to make room for newer backups. If the oldest backups contained pictures (whose records have not changed since the time they are initially stored), then I guess that these photos will be removed from the external drive - correct?
  • If I had to replace my external drive for Time Machine with a new external drive which is as big or bigger than the one it replaces, what should I expect on the size of the initial backup on the new drive? I guess the size of the backup would be exactly equal to the current amount of storage used on my drive hard iMac - correct?
  • Would it not be possible to connect the external drive for Time Machine existing at a new Time Machine external drive so that when the original disk is full, the overflow will be automatically stored on the new external hard drive for Time Machine? (If feasible, it seems that this strategy would maximize my external storage capacity vs just replace external drives.)

  I realize that my first two questions are rather basic, but I don't want to make any false assumptions. The third idea is intriguing and I would like to know if this is a viable option.

  Thank you

  older files are starting to get deleted because the disk fills up then Yes, they went

  the backup drive should ideally be 4 times the capacity of your current drive, twice is good but has its limits. Also factor in what you store: a jpeg from the web and a raw photo file are the two images, the size of a is very different. If you work in high-resolution or large native files, or audio files (record pro, no music files) or video production twice the disk fills up very quickly. If you collect photos and JPEG and mp3 files or a handful of videos not so much is necessary.

  I would keep the old drive intact if you want to replace and start over with a new drive, if that's the plan. You have the old data, you can keep it somewhere safe and have a redundant backup which you can reconnect at any time to restore from. Let the new index drive itself with new data and take if from there, in the case otherwise you can copy the backup to the new drive and set the drive as the new source of backup but personally I wouldn't copy of the data, that's my preference, it may not be yours and that's fine.

• How much space for Time Machine backups

  Hello

  Is there a rule for how much space you may want to allow for Time Machine backups?

  I would like to partition the drive to have a room reserved for Time Machine back ups only.  I realize that it is a personal preference.

  Each individual backup occupies approximately 790 GB.  But somehow I have 6 months of backups that supposedly take up only 880 GB on the disk.

  At this time the backups of my other drive back to 6 months in time.

  Fortunately, I never had to go back a few more days to recover a file.

  Is there a reasonable amount of space to allocate for backups, based on current usage of disk?

  Thank you

  Minimum would, of course, the size of the internal drive.

  Double the quantity is sufficient

  Triple the amount if you want a value years from TM backups

  I am convinced that these are independent external drives from your main hard drive of Machines

• Adding a second HD for Time Machine

  I am currently using OS X 10.10.5 on my iMac.  I backed it up Time machine on an external hard drive.  This drive is now complete and Time Machine is unable to perform a backup.  I would just an another great HD capability and have this drive used for Time Machine. Can I do this and keep the original HD of Time Machine?

• Adding 2nd drive for Time Machine

  I have an IMac with a 3 TB drive and a 4 TB laCie drive Thunderbolt used for Time Machine. I get the message that the Time Machine disk is full. I can daisy chain a second LaCie and recognized it as an add-on to Disk Time Machine?

  Not unless your create a JBOD RAID array. You can * another player and change Time Machine backup on this drive. If the player has not been used for a backup Time Machine, then Time Machine will start a new backup.

  Note that you have to create the JBOD or RAID Stripe it would remove all files on both drives before you create the table. Thus, when selected for the drive Time Machine you will be a new backup.

  About alert TM "Backup Drive is full"

  TM only deletes older files if they have been removed from the source and when TM needs space on the backup to a new incremental backup drive. Time Machine "Jules Destrooper" its backups. over 24 hours, old backups, except the first of the day; These "dailies", old more 30-day backups, except the first day of the week. The weeklies are kept as long as there is room.

  So, how long a backup rest file depends on how long it was on your Mac before being deleted, assuming that you do at least one backup per day. If she was there for less than 24 hours, it will be maintained for at least a month. If she was there at least a week, it will be maintained as long as there is room.

  Note that, on a Time Capsule, the sparsebundle grows in size as needed, but not descended. View of the user of the TC so it seems that no space was released, although there may be space in the sparsebundle.

  Once TM has found that it cannot free enough space for new backup it reports the disk is full. You can erase the backup disk and start your backup or replace the disc with a larger drive.

• How can I know if an external drive has been used for Time Machine and what computer it came with too?

  How can I know if an external drive has been used for Time Machine and what computer it came with too?

  I have several laptops and iMacs. I spent the relocation of the year and only used the MacBook Pro.

  Now I'm trying to figure out which drive goes with which computer

  I connected just a disk seagate 1.5 t and the first thing he did was to ask if I wanted to use it as a Time Machine drive.

  (1) if it is the TM disk accompanying this computer don't would not it have just started upward automatically?

  (2) what happens if I would have said yes?

  (3) I don't even know if it's been activated for TM. Is there a way to tell? It may hold just for iMovie files and other programs associated with a computer from my past.

  All readers of backup Time Machine contains a folder named: Backups.backupdb. If you open this folder, you'll find another folder with the name of the computer that has been saved. If several computers have been saved on the same disk, you will have several folders.

• Time Capsule will not extend the Airport Extreme network

  My airport extreme (do not know what version... can't even find it in the system report) offers a WiFi modem. I have a Time Capsule 4 G which extends the network. This works well for a few years now. Suddenly, the CAP began flashing yellow. Time capsule said Airport utility cannot extend the network and I should make sure the password is correct, that it is in the signal of a network, etc. I went through the settings of the time capsule by ensuring that passwords are correct. It is certainly within the range of the signal of the airport extreme (they are both in the same place as always... Besides, I put my iPhone next to the time capsule and I get a signal strong). I tried a hard reset of the time capsule. Of course, this does not work.

  Time Capsule seems to be communicating with the computer very well. I can access it via the Airport utility and reboot. I can access the data on its disk backup. Airport Extreme is to give a signal of good wi - fi connection. I'm still able to pick it up with my computer (even if my computer is far more than the time capsule).

  Someone has an idea of what's going on?

  Given that the Capsule does not correctly connect unless everything is OK with the AirPort Extreme... I suggest that you turn off the time Capsule for now and check that everything works correctly on the AirPort Extreme.

  My airport extreme (do not know what version... can't even find it in the system report)

  You say that the AirPort Extreme does not appear when you open AirPort Utility?

  If so, press and hold the option on your Mac key while you double-click on the image of the AirPort Extreme.

  Model of the AirPort Extreme, you will appear at the top of the summary page. What is it?

  Near the bottom of the summary page, check to see if there is a parameter that is displayed for the State.  If there is, what is the message next to status?

• Airport Extreme network orientation parameters

  Here is our network (diagram below) configuration:

  Internet is available through a pass by modem cable to the Sonic Wall set with a static IP address. The wall of sound, we have a port to a point of cradle that is not with a static IP and gives on a totally different range of the IPS via DHCP to our POS. Another port of the Sonic Wall, I had going to the WAN port on our new airport extreme. I have a switch with some control machines connected to the Airport extreme via an ethernet cable. All devices connected via wifi or hard cable with Airport extreme are placed for IPS via DHCP.

  I am trying to configure parameters on a new device extreme airport our Wi - Fi to my company. We recently had some problems of internet connectivity for a minute or two at a time and I wonder if it could be some sort of conflict of IP address or if it was just a failure of the internet that did not affect the status of the modem lights cable (all were green = connected). Brief history: the most extreme airport on a port of our Sonic wall with the airport extreme is default DHCP and NAT (he gave me the orange light, and he suggested that I put it in Bridge mode). Internet in all of our network seemed to work very well, so I just left it alone.

  30 days later we have a brief interruption in internet connectivity with our credit card processing POS two days in a row for a minute or two of. After the second case, we shut down the extreme airport just in case that was causing our problem. I had a technician COMPUTER down and he suggested I put the airport with a static IP (x.x.7.80) outside the range of IP addresses of our wall router Sonic DHCP-range (let's say it was x.x.7.100 - x.x.7.252) he has been giving and then configured the network settings for DHCP LAN only Airport (I used x.x.7.10 - x.x.7.70) with a range that doesn't overlap the IP of the Sonic Wall range. Part of the confusion, I had during the configuration of the airport was if I needed to plug in our Sonic Wall static IP address in the 'router' address and if I needed to use the DNS servers that appeared in the Sonic Wall settings (I thought he was shooting at those of the cable company). After you make these changes, I got a green light on the airport and the connection was working fine when tested. The next day, we had another interruption of connectivity where our treatment card and internet from WIFI got interrupted. I unplugged the power of WIFI and it seemed that our POS network has begun to process cards normally again.

  The point side cradle of the network is to grasp what IP the sonic wall gives him and give the address on a completely different system that is used in the other part of the network. Another question would be if I can just put the Airport extreme to DHCP mode under the 'Internet' parameter and go to the bridge on "Network" setting Mode I don't know how the bridge Mode would affect our network. I'm not wanting to do anything on the side POS (point of cradle) which is rather difficult with someone like me who is not an expert. Any thoughts are appreciated to help me resolve this issue.

  

  Brief history: the most extreme airport on a port of our Sonic wall with the airport extreme is default DHCP and NAT (he gave me the orange light, and he suggested that I put it in Bridge mode). Internet in all of our network seemed to work very well, so I just left it alone.

  There are two schools of thought on this.  The traditional method (better, in my opinion) would have the AirPort Extreme, put in place in Bridge Mode... Since you already have another router... (the Sonic Wall device which is upstream of your network)... providing routing services.

  Although you might be able to make a network work well with two different devices acting both as of the routers on the network, it complicates things, adds another firewall to the network, and also produces a base called Double NAT network error.

  Sometimes you can get away with a Double NAT error on a simple network, but the double layers of NAT may cause some unpredictable problems. The usual problem is slower navigation, or you will not be able to access some Web sites.  Network devices may not communicate reliably, or communicate at all in some cases.

  This is why Apple software configuration you advise to set up AirPort Extreme in bridge... Mode to fix the Double NAT error. This type of configuration simplifies your network... Since one device will put a router... not two.

  In recent years in particular, we have seen some tips on forums that goes against the rules of traditional networking.  These people that it is OK to have two devices both try to act as routers to the same network... and to 'ignore' the Double NAT error on the network.

  It's interesting tips, since the Apple software advises you avoid having a Double NAT on the network... and some advanced features like Back to My Mac specifically Apple advise to avoid a Double NAT error on the network.  If you have a console online game and you want to play interactively on Internet, you already know that a Double NAT error will not allow this.

  My suggestion would be so... If you have not already tried it... to set up the AirPort Extreme in Bridge Mode.  Apple calls this setting off (Bridge Mode)... which simply means that routing services are turned 'Off' Mode bridge.

  You can still assign a static to AirPort Extreme IP address, if you want, but the devices that are connected to the AirPort Extreme will receive the Sonic Wall router network IP addresses... Since the airport acts as a simple device to "go" when he returns and in Bridge Mode.

• can a wifi with an airport extreme network be extended with two Airport express wireless?

  I have developed successfully the range of my wifi network by connecting an older brick of Airport express to a new airport extreme. Unfortunately, there is a room more than I would like to achieve, so I'm trying to add a second (newer) to bring in this room to get full coverage. When I try to set up in the airport utility it hits an "unexpected error" message continually or breaks down the network. should I change in the settings? the express environment be on something else (like a relay?) in order to allow the new express to join the network? I have reset the factory default final express and tried to let the wizard implemented to extend my existing network.

  I understand that I will sacrifice speed, but there is no way to connect them at the present time. worst case, I should better results if I break through the floor and the extreme of wire in the Middle express?

  Thank you

  David

  Sorry, but Apple will allow you only to wireless "extend" the network once, not two.

  In other words, just about any device that "extends" the network must connect directly to the 'main' router... not to another router that is already expanding the network.

  Another way of saying the same thing... both your need for extensions at about the same distance from the 'main' router and two extensions should be closer to the main router they are to each other.

  You want to continue trying to implement the 2nd AirPort Express Terminal?

  "I should better results if I break through the floor and the extreme of wire in the Middle express?

  
  

  Yes, that would allow you to do what you want, assuming that the 'remote' Express can pick up a good signal of the Middle Express wireless.
