• Need to backup my Apple Watch, I don't want to reset

  I have a new iPhone. My previous iPhone died from water damage. My latest backup did not include data from health or regarding my Apple Watch. If I try to pair my Apple Watch to my new iPhone, it seems I have to reset the watch and lose all my data (15 months)! I really don't want to lose my data and training, as well as the health of my Apple Watch, but now I can't pair it with my iPhone.

  What can I do?

  Hello

  I'm afraid there is nothing you can do.

  Historical data of health and activity are stored on your iPhone paired, not on the watch.

  If you do not have a backup of your previous iPhone (from which to restore your new iPhone), you can retrieve no historical data.

  You will need to erase content and settings on your watch and pair it with your new iPhone:

  • On your watch: go to the home screen (via a simple press on the digital Crown) > (cog icon) settings > general > reset > erase content and settings.
  • Then pair your watch to your new iPhone: configure your Apple Watch - Apple Support

• Disable the automatic backup in Apple applications

  How can I disable the automatic backup in the Script Editor and other Apple applications?

  I love how the captain tells us what is good for us and allows us no easy way to change things.

  AutoSave/Versions has been part of Mac OS X Lion. See these instructions. Save As will be in its normal position in all applications, and when you close the documents, you will be asked if you want to return (same result as the old do not save).

  Versions and AutoSave will always run in background for the applications that use it. You can't really turn off without disrupting some application menus, but it's been at least OS X behave more like Snow Leopard or earlier version.

• Unable to transfer backup TM to a to an another DHM DHM

  I use an iMac 24 "(early 2009) / 2, 66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo / 8 GB 1067 MHZ DDR3"

  My internal HDD 640 GB and I use a DHM Lacie Minimus 2To for backup with TM since 2012.

  My iMac runs OS X 10.11.6

  My internal HDD is running out of space, so I intend to use my EDH 2To for usage of storage and backup TM, I bought a new 4 TB Lacie P9233 DHM.

  Therefore, I am trying to transfer my backup old 2To JEP JEP 4To again TM.

  The two DHM connected directly (without external hub) by USB2 to the iMac.

  Both are in Mac OS extended (journaled) format with a GUID partition.

  I tried several methods that all failure: (note: between each test, I deleted the new JEP with disk utility application)

  Method 1-Apple support - Time Machine: how to transfer backups from a current backup disk on a new backup drive - Apple supported

  Correctly formatted new EDH - OK

  Permissions "ignore ownership on this volume" unchecked (disabled) - OK

  Drag the folder "Backups.backupdb" from the old to the new SMT - OK

  Process begins with the preparation of the version and the file count. My TM backup is about 1, 44pour.

  After 24 hours, the process was still approximately 2,000,000 files, always growing number.

  I tried three times and stopped manually after all 30hours while the process was still count files and no copy began.

  2 - using disk utility

  Disabled TM.

  Disassembly - Assembly new old EHD "Backup."

  I tried to restore to new drive (target 'Storage') with the old disk (Source "Backup") with the disk utility application

  There is also no, see below (in french, sorry):

  New drive (Lacie P9233 - 'Storage')

  Old car (ST2000DM - "Backup")

  IO error

  

  I also tried the spirit of several times the same result.

  3 - use of SuperDuper! 2.9.1 (v98)

  This seemed to work, but not completely.

  Disabled TM.

  Disassembly - Assembly new old EHD "Backup."

  I tried "Backup - all files" / copy of "Backup 2.0 to ' to ' storage 4.0 to."

  The process started successfully: new drive erasure, counting and copy the files at the same time.

  After all 36Hours, it stops with a few errors of files not copied.

  

  About 200,000 files - not copied 450Mo (?) (The backup log file) , but the main question disappointing is that only 1, 12-1, 44pour have been evaluated and copied by Superduper!.

  Looking at the two DHM in Finder, I discovered that all the folders inside the "Backups.backupdb" who were after a certain date (20150908) are not copied at all.

  

  

  I suspect that these missing backups are one made with a new OS X (maybe El Capitan?) which is not compatible with Superduper!  2.9.1 (v98).

  Can you help me to achieve this transfer of backup to new SMT TM?

  I sent the log file of SuperDuper in support.

  Their recommendation is to delete the damaged file, and then start the backup again or with the SmartUpdate feature to continue the backup.

  That's what I did:

  -find the corrupted file in the log file.

  -delete the file with TM. Enter TM, then navigate to the file, and then remove all copies.

  -start to SperDuper! Once again (Smart Update)

  -everything is now OK.

  Hope this can help others.

  SuperDuper! helped me.

• Transfer Time Machine backup on the new disk, preparing already > 24 hours!

  I followed the instructions on the web site (Time Machine: how to transfer backups from a current backup disk to a new backup drive - Apple Support -essentially a copy via the Finder) and after more than 24 hours the copy process is still "preparing to copy" and lists currently more than 4 million items.

  Yes, I have a large number of files, 2.65 TB of info I want to spend on a new disc of 6 TB, but this method of copy will take too long. I'm afraid I have to stop the process of copying in the morning, because I have to take my MBP on the road.

  Is there another "clever way" of making a Time Machine backup on a new external drive?

  You can try using the software clone to make a copy, but I'm afraid that the size of the data you are trying to copy will take a long time with any method.

  I suggest starting with a new Time Machine backup disk 6 to and leave the old time in the form of a Machine archive to use if necessary.

• How to recover or re - use a backup Time Machine disconnected?

  I had a hard drive will... "Brown" (overcooked SSD, don't know how it happened; "I think it's just a bad disk). Unfortunately, my Time Capsule (backup drive - this is not really a TC of Apple, if it matters) is also very picky. Well, I had a new SSD and cloned the old on SSD so I'm back in business on this effect, but in the process, I unplugged my wayward backup disk in Time Machine (as in, I accidentally said the temperamental player is NOT the source of archive TM). Is it possible to "bless" the backup of this wayward drive to retrieve archive it? I have access to all the files, and I recognize that I really need to get a new, reliable, drive; but in the meantime, is it possible to make the TM to accept the folder Backups.backupdb active as long as the backup plan "current", rather than simply to start with a new in this space?

  BTW, I use OS X 10.11.5. I followed the instructions to Time Machine: how to transfer backups from a current backup disk to a new backup drive - Apple Support, but am concerned about the fact that it is trying to create a new backup rather than press archives, I already. I probably missed in all care, is there a way to fix it?

  The answer might involve several steps.

  but I am concerned that it is trying to create a new backup rather than press archives

  It's still the right to go forward... Once you change the configuration of Time Machine... It will say that it will start a new backup, except if it finds an existing valid backup when it starts. If you have no other choice to the allow him to proceed... If you find it has created a new sparsebundle and started on... cancel the backup, and then try to inherit the old backup.

  See Pondini... a bit outdated but it has information not available anywhere else.

• Restoring old iPhone backup ITunes

  I backed up my wife on iTunes iPhone before getting a new iPhone.  When I went to restore the backup on the new iPhone, iTunes somehow made a backup of the new iPhone. When I go into iTunes and do a "restore from backup" the version available is the backup of the new iPhone, previous iPhone away from my wife.  Obviously not very useful.

  Now I can go in the ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup directory and see the backup version I want to use.  But I can't seem to download iTunes "Restore from backup" to give the opportunity to select the backup version I want.

  Any ideas on how to access this version would be very appreciated.

  Thank you.

  This can explain:

  If you need help, restore from a backup - Support Apple iTunes

  Refer to the section:

  I can't select an iTunes backup

  There are several reasons why there may be not all available for your iOS device iTunes backups:

  • You have never successfully made a backup of your device. Learn how to make a backup in iTunes.
  • Your device has an older version of iOS than what you used when you made the backup.
  • Your backup might have been made on another computer or iTunes account.

  Just a guess!

• Encryption of the existing backups on Time Capsule

  I have old backups on my TC since 2009. I need them and I don't want to lose them. But I also want to encrypt and have access to all backups in Time Machine, because of private and confidential data. This procedure might work?

  • Open the Time Machine pane in system preferences.
  • Turn off time Machine then click on the button "Select Disk... ».
  • Remove your current backup disk.
  • Then, simply select the drive as your backup once more and check the option "Encrypt backups" and enter a password for the backup. Apple will now encrypt the entire disk backup - including your previous backups.
  • Finally, turn on Time Machine, and you're all set!

  Thank you!

  In theory, this will work.  In the practice, this work probably, but... and that's a very big BUT... it's going to take forever and a day to encrypt all the backups of the old man, which is something that the article forgot to mention.

  Even if you have your Mac connected to time Capsule using an Ethernet cable... it will take days and perhaps more than a week for the initial process to complete, depending on the amount of data you have on the Time Capsule.

  A lot can go wrong over the days and days of a backup, so if you decide to try this... Make sure you have at least a copy or an Archive... of all the data on the Time Capsule disk... before... .you start the encryption process.

• Copy Time Machine backups on Second drive

  While I've seen some support responses on this issue, I don't know what relates to my situation.

  My scenario: I have a new iMac on the way to replace my current 24 "in early 2009.  I thought I could have my current computer time just come back on the computer where the other was arrested, but my research seems to indicate that this is not the case.

  My solution is to do the following:

  (1) transfer the backups on the Machine of the current time to a second external drive.

  Note: I also intend to use this second unit of disk storage system of primary file to the new computer.  The new iMac will be an SSD where I only intend to keep applications and files that I use for the projects basically video/photo.  It is a 4 TB drive, so plenty of room for me to organize my current files and backup Time Machine, which is about 1 TB.

  (2) current Time Machine to reformat and put up again as the time Machine to the new computer.

  Here's my question:

  After trying to simply drag and drop the folder "backups.backup" of time to my new drive of a second Machine, I got the message error "volume a bad upper/lower case distinction for backup."  It seems that my Time Machine has been formatted as journaled attention to case, but the new disc has been simply logged.

  I'm currently following these instructions using disk utility: time machine TM file transfer

  I'm left with two questions:

  First: It says "copy blocks. "Estimated time: 23 hours"-which seems excessive for just 1 TB of info.

  Second: Most important.  After this process I will be able to use the second drive as a storage drive, or is it simply that in fact in another time Machine?

  Honestly, I've never used TM to find a lost file or two and never for a restoration complete, so I'm not particularly worried about it.  Secondly, I have change my Time Machine drive each year (holding to the old disks).  I just did this in January, so if I lose a few months of backups, not a huge deal.  I just hope that simply keep these backups as a just in case where.

  Thanks in advance for your ideas!

  FWIW, it's not recommended to use the same drive for backups Time Machine and data for several reasons. It can be done, but you need to create two partitions.

• My Time Machine is full. Should I keep it plugged in and turned on even if I switch to another external hard drive for Time Machine backups?

  My external hard drive, Time Machine is full. Should I keep plugged in m and, even if I switch to another external hard drive to keep backups with TimeMachine?

  There is no need to keep two connected external drives. Instead, I suggest you to buy a bigger external hard drive and transfer the backups that you want from the old to the new external drive, so you can use the old external drive for other purposes-> Time Machine: how to transfer backups from a current backup disk to a new backup drive - Apple Support
