• Cannot delete the Time Machine backups

  I have a MacBook Air and a 128 GB USB key that holds my library of photos, so I always make backups. My system - and I have recently made account how flawed it was - was to create backups on a 500 GB HARD drive, but to transfer them to a 2 TB HARD drive when it is full. So, I finally discovered that when I transfer backups in small quantities to the 2 TB, it takes more space because instead of aliases of files used to represent more recent backups, care of file just copied over and over again. For this reason, I put my 2 TB as a feature of time machine and imported all the old backups in the folder backups.db, that my Mac 'cleaned' and registered 135 GB. But 135 GB is not enough, I went and delete backups that I don't have anymore. When I looked in the trash to empty, I've seen 2 things: backups I have trashed and others who are pale sort out. I can't open the files, even if I right click and select "open in a new tab. When I try to "immediately remove" these paled-out files, I always get a message that they are "on duty." It is about 300 GB, so I must get rid of him. But it does not stop there, because when I try to "delete immediately" backups I had trashed myself, I get an error message! It is a total of about 600 GB, what I absolutely need to get rid of! If anyone has some tips, it will be greatly appeciated.

  You have probably sprayed your Time Machine backup database. The best thing to do is erase the disc with Airport utility. Then start again with a new backup.

  Good day.

• Cannot empty completely Time Machine of the items in the Recycle Bin

  Because Time Machine doesn't seem to be saved compensation older to make room for the news more I get a message that the disc is full. I tried to put an older Mt recorded in the trash folder. After a long workout he finally dumped all but a bit empty folders (2016-01-02 010502 > Macintosh HD > Applications). Now whenever I try to empty the trash, I get a message that these items are in use.

  I tried pressing cmd-Shift while emptying and several different Terminal commands (such as the cd ~ /.) Trash; rm - rf *) without result. It's a minor annoyance, but I would like to get these messages every time that I try to empty the trash.

  BTW, this didn't help my problem of Time Machine. It is not yet back up some.

  See if point # 12 will help:

• Time Machine backup fails because "there is not enough space on the «DiskStation «»

  My backups regular TimeMachine to DiskStation stopped working a few months ago.  I thought it was because I ran out of space but now I installed an extra 1 TB RAID and I always get this error message.

  Here is the chronology of events that led to the error message.

  16/01/10 23:09 - Backup started manually (1.47 TB TB 2.45 available):

  

  16/01/10 23:11 - preparation of backup... (1.47 TB TB 2.45 available)

  16/01/10 23:15 - "backup: zero KB of 63.8 MB, calculating time remaining..." »

  16/01/10 23:22-2.1 MB saved 63.8 and the first estimate of the remaining time: 'about 4 hrs.

  

  16/01/10 23:50 - now 2.3 63.8 MB MB, 16 hours left (I'm ready for bed).

  16/01/10 23:55-5 minutes later and it backed up 419 MB!

  16/01/11 00:55 - an hour later and it is up to 6.72 GB but the gas target increased to 7.39 GB (I went to bed)

  16/01/11 06:50 - next day morning and it's up to 23,76 GB and the goal is now to 26.13 GB

  

  16/01/11 18:49 - I go home at night and it failed.

  

  

  

  Here is the view viewfinder of the TimeMachine file that I am trying to backup (note, a lot of disk space):

  

  This is the view of the Inspector of it:

  

  System details:

  -MacBook Pro 2013 with OS X 10.11.2

  -LAN WiFi Pace 2Wire998 router with DiskStation connected by Ethernet, MacBook Pro by WiFi

  -Synology DiskStation DS411slim with 4 x 2.5 "hard drives installed.

  A device third-party network attached storage (NAS) or a router is unsuitable for use with Time Machine, especially if it's your only backup. I know that's not what you want to hear. I know that Time Machine accepts the device as a backup destination. I know that the manufacturer says the device will work with Time Machine, and I also know that it usually seems to work. Except when you are trying to restore and find that you can't.

  Apple has published a specification for network devices that works with Time Machine. No third party provider, AFAIK, does meet this specification. They all use the application of Netatalk incomplete, obsolete Apple Filing Protocol.

  Apple does not endorse any device third-party network for use with Time Machine. See this support article.

  Network backup, use as destination an Apple Time Capsule or an external storage device connected to another Mac or a 802.11ac AirPort base station. Only 802.11ac base stations support time Machine, not older model.

  Otherwise, use Time Machine at all. There are other ways to save, although none of them are nowhere near as effective or as well integrated with OS X. I don't have a specific recommendation.

  If you are determined to continue to use the device with Time Machine, your only remedy for any resulting problem is the manufacturer (who will blame Apple, neither you nor anyone else but herself.)

• Time Capsule connected via Ethernet and put in place as an extension to my Airport Extreme Base Station wireless.  'Disc' Time Machine use?

  If my Time Capsule is connected by ethernet to my Mac, Time Machine uses this connection or the wireless connection?

  It depends on the order of connection of your Mac. If your Mac has been defined first connect using Ethernet if an Ethernet connection is present, then the Mac will save over Ethernet, even if the WiFi is enabled on the Mac.

  However, if your Mac has WiFi to connect first and WiFi is on... then the Mac connects using WiFi, even if an Ethernet connection exists.

  To see the binding command or service so that your Mac is using...

  Open the preferences system (gear on the dock icon)

  Open network

  Click on the gear at the bottom of the list of connection icon

  Click the Set Service command

  If you want to make sure that your Mac will always connect to Ethernet first, even if WiFi is turned on... then you want to make sure that Ethernet appears at the top of the service order.  If this isn't the case, drag it to the top. Click OK, and then click apply at the bottom right of the window.

  Another simple method to ensure that the backups will be produce by Ethernet is simply disable WiFi on Mac and let up to that you unplug the Ethernet cable, date at which you would be back on WiFi

• Need help | Time Machine: An external drive to an another external backup

  I have two external drives connected to my Mini.

  1. Elementary school: a 4 to format ExFat (because it must be compatible; he must remain this Windows format).  Currently, it is half full.
  2. The second: Time Machine.  It is currently formatted as OS X Extended (journaled).  I can change the format of it if necessary, although the documentation I've read online indicates that this is the required format.  He is currently empty, eagerly waiting to be filled.

  I recently had to upgrade both of these drives.  For the past three years or so this configuration worked.  Since migrating my data to the new material and permutation of readers, however, my main drive is now listed under Time Machine-> Options-> excluded items.  It is grayed out so I can't remove it from the list and can therefore be saved.

  Can anyone offer advice?  On the phone that I was told all upward could never work, but, again, I do this for several years (even on this version of El Capitan).  It was a headache Time Machine restore (perhaps because of the formatting), but at least my data has been backed up with precision.

  I was surprised (and dismayed) when, on the phone, I was told by the representative of Apple to get just Carbonite because what I do is impossible.

  You can read and write on the main drive of the Mac computer?

  Which lists Get Info for the primary drive?

  In particular, what is listed under permission & sharing. Post a screenshot of the window would be useful to read the information with wider sharing & permissions

• To access the backups Time Machine another computer

  I have spent a good hour looking for a solution to this problem, but have developed empty-handed.

  If I understand correctly, backups of access from another Mac time Machine, I need to connect the backup drive to another Mac and select "Browse Other Time Machine disks... "in the Time Machine dock menu and choose the drive.

  The backup drive appeared as expected and I clicked on "Use selected Disk" to enter the time Machine.

  At this point, the computer between what seems to be Time machine, but shows a Finder window to the hard disk of the computer rather than the backup drive and shows not all dates before "today (now)."

  A thread has suggested that I open a Finder window and select 'Computer' in the menu to reach before the opening of time Machine. It did not work.

  Another thread has suggested that I have use the Migration Wizard rather to recover files and folders, I need. This is not ideal, but I tried it anyway, the result being that the Migration Wizard app remained "Looking for source...". "without finding the backup drive.

  Before formatting my drive on the original Mac, I had checked for if ensure that I could access the Time Machine backup while it was plugged into the backup drive (which he successful well).

  I use the latest version of El Capitan 10.11.6 on a MacBook Air (mid 2011). Backup is a MacBook Pro (mid-2010) who ran as El Capitan.

  I would appreciate any other suggestions!

  So, I discovered the solution, which has been in a simpler way that I expected. Before opening, Time Machine, it is necessary to find the sparsebundle Disk Image in the backup disk in the Finder and open it with "DiskImageMounter." Then, you must select "Computer" in the Finder menu reach before choosing the option "Browse Other Time Machine disks... "menu to the dock of time Machine. The first finder window it shows in the Time Machine view still belongs to the computer, but now it shows the previous backups, who are all from the backup drive!

• No backups to my Time Machine...

  I changed provider from BT to Virgin Media internet services since July 5 and since then my Time Machine did not have all the backups as it usually does in a reasonable time.

  I tried to change the USB ports on the capsule in order to get this to work but my MacBook Pro (early 2011 edition) comes up with information that he cannot find the Time Machine on the network.

  I'm at my wits end that l have tried everything in the book without success.

  Can someone please give me some advice in order to solve the problem?

• Moving backups Time Machine - the operation cannot take place because the backup item is not editable

  I want to change the external hard drive that I use for my time machine backups. I went through the steps listed here:

  Time Machine: How to transfer backups from a current backup disk to a new backup drive - Apple Support

  It seems to work correctly. I shot TM back and adding the new drive. TM is now backing up files on the drive up, but there is a problem.

  For some reason, TM has begun to put backups "freely" for lack of better in the external hard drive, and not in the backups.backupdb folder for a week, then returned to save them in the backups.backupdb > ComputerName > files from backups. So in other words, when you click on the hard drive in the finder, it opens the player and you see a folder named Backups.backupdb and then a bunch of mixed in which files are backups time machine named 2016-01-24-XXXXXX, etc.. When you go to the folder Backups.backupdb, there's a more random "loose" time machine backup file 2016-01-23-XXXXXX, and then another folder with the name of computers and in the folder are all TM backups except loose ones I mentioned earlier.

  It seems that TM is working properly now, but I don't know why he put the files from the first days outside the backup folder. However, when I do drag, I get the error:

  The operation cannot be completed because backup items is not editable

  I want to just put all the files in the right folder so that I can A) keep my disk organized and (B) ensure what TM can find everything correctly should I have to go back.

  No idea what is happening and how to fix it?

  Although the documentation Apple says you can copy Time Machine backups in the Finder, it is very slow and sometimes does not.

  This technique works only if the volume that you copy to the same size or larger that that you are copying to.

  First of all, please open the Time Machine preference pane and click the Select Disk... button. You may be able to unlock the settings first, by clicking on the padlock icon in the lower left corner of the window. Log in as administrator.

  Remove the volume you want to copy in the list of backup destinations. Then turn off Time Machine.

  Launch disk utility, open the built-in Help and search for the term 'Double '. Follow the instructions. All existing data on the destination volume will be deleted. That shouldn't be a problem, because you do not want to mix non-sauvegarde and backup data on the same drive anyway.

  If the volume you are copying has been encrypted by Time Machine, you must first unlock it. Click the release button in the toolbar of the disk utility window.

  Turn Time Machine back on and select the new volume as a backup destination. Alternatively, you can continue to use the old volume, if you wish. Both will be alternated when both are available.

  ATTENTION: If you copy the volume is corrupted, as shown by the ERD or first aid in disk utility, while corruption is copied to the new drive. Do not copy data from a damaged on a faulty disk volume. Put aside the reader and do not use until you don't know that you no longer need the data. Then securely erase it and bring it to a recycling center. Do the same if the restore operation fails with "disk errors."
