  I, are looking for an answer to this question, but couldn't find one.  If there is an and missed it, please tell me and I will look happily on it.  I want to do it without the help of a Time Machine, because I used it at the time of Yosemite.  And I discovered that you can use a cable USB or SD to come down, but how do you do this without losing all my data?

• Keychain error 100001 during the set up Time Machine to new iMac

  I received this error message: "error 100001 Keychain occurred during the creation of system Keychain for the username entry + all trying to set up Time Machine using my Airport Time Capsule for backups to a new iMac. Time Capsule airport working flawless since a few years back up both my laptop and my husbands laptop.  Scanning in the nets, I see that this is not an unknown problem, but I couldn't find any viable solution. I tried to edit the main chain. Suggestions?

  On a brand new iMac, it's kind of serious error. I could contact the Apple support and see if they know of the issue.

  I've never seen someone post in this topic... but as you say, this is certainly not unknown.

  Keychain error 100001 when you try to reconnect time machine.

  The iMac came with El Capitan or you upgrade settled according to Yosemite?

  Since the above post, I'd be inclined to reinstall the operating system.

  OR

  I must say that Time Machine becomes annoying... It is complicated and there are several issues where people often find that it doesn't work when they most need, IE recovery.

  I'd be inclined to install and use Carbon Copy clone or Chronosync. You can always make the backup of the TC, although to be honest, once again a 2.5 "self-powered drive plugged into the port USB3 can work much better with an iMac... occasional use of backup on the TC to ensure that you have a second backup.

• How to set up Time Machine via a HARD drive connected to the USB port on the router?

  Hi all

  I have an Arris Touchstone Data Gateway DG1670A/TW for my internet / wireless which was provided by my ISP.  There is a USB port at the back of the router and I was wondering if I could connect an external HARD drive to save the two Macbook Pro that I have in my house through Time Machine wireless?  If Yes, could someone provide me the details regarding how to set this up properly?

  I too, was thinking about making a 4 TB HARD drive - 2 and wanted to partition so that half of it would work for Time Machine and the other half I would be able to store photos that I take on my digital SLR and are in Lightroom.  Could this be a problem at all? I partition? or Time Machine just to use the available space and delete older backups to make room for additional photos?

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  A device third-party network attached storage (NAS) or a router is unsuitable for use with Time Machine.

  Apple has published a specification for network devices that works with Time Machine. No third party provider, AFAIK, does meet this specification.

  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.

  4 elements of it are in system preferences, then the Applications folder.

  5. Yes, you will be. Time Machine manages the process of formatting before the first backup.

• Hours set for Time Machine

  Can someone tell me how to change the interval Time Machine creates backups on an IMac running IOS 10.11.4? The default value is too frequent and slows down the imac to a crawl.

  Thank you

  You can disable TM and do your backups manually. But TM should not interfere or slow down your Mac.

  Download and run EtreCheck, created by one of his own assistants here in CSA. It is a diagnostic tool that is very useful for us to find problems. It will also give us additional specifications on your Mac. After his execution after the logfile here. It will never contain any personal information

• Can I optimized the HD with the help of a time machine restore?

  ??

  I recently deleted all my data from my Time Machine and then started fresh with a new full backup.

  QUESTION: This new backup Time total Machine in any way "optimized" - perhaps the data is better organized on the disc?

  If so, then if I now erase my HD and restore from this new fresh backup from Time Machine, that would be good?

  I started to believe some computer unfounded myths and urban legends?

  Thanks for any insight of this.

  No and no. and do not really.

  You will get no improvement whatsoever.

  The old disk optimization tricks are over... If the disk is slow in your Mac replaced with SSD.

• Door key lost in the time machine backup

  Dear community,

  Because I had trouble with the speed of my MacBook Pro (and nothing else developed), I had to set up entirely new.

  Before installing El Capitan, my MacBook Pro (starting 2011) ran on Yosemite 10.10.5. I made two backups with time machine, generated a bootable El Capitan installation USB key, in format Macintosh HD, installed at El Capitan and ran all the updates. The system works well, everything works perfectly and my Mac is fast again. Now, I manually copy things that I need in my system of charges.

  Here, the problem is: I can't find the old keychain file in the time machine backup!

  Keychain works with the keys stored in iCloud. However, the other buttons are gone.

  As I discovered, ~/Library/Keychains is hidden. I did it visible on my system running. However, this does not work in the backup file. It remains hidden or - worse - have not been stored in the backup. I don't know that I have excluded from time machine backup only two totally different folders (dropbox and movies).

  You have any ideas how I can find my keychain (login.keychain if my search was right) in the time machine backup?

  Thanks a lot for your help!

  Time Machine, please press the shift-command-C key combination. The windshield will show the mounted volumes. All snapshots should now be accessible. Select the one you want and search for files to restore.

  If you need to restore from a backup of the hidden user library folder, first select a snapshot, and then press shift-command-G. A go to the folder dialog box opens. In this document, you enter the path to the folder. The dialog box will help you by automatically filling parts of the path when you start typing.

  The path starts with the slash character ("/"). Enter that. The rest of the parts is separated by slashes.

  The next part is the date and time of the current snapshot. Enter a '2', and the rest of the date should be filled in automatically. Press the right arrow key to access the end of the path. Enter a slash to start the next game.

  Next is the volume name (usually "Macintosh HD" unless you assigned a different name.) Start typing, then jump to the end and enter a slash.

  The next part is 'Users', followed by a slash.

  Then is your short user name. It is also the name of your home folder, which is represented by an icon of the House in the sidebar of a Finder window.

  Finally, enter "Library", and then press return. You should now be in the library folder. From there, you can move like in the Finder. You can also select another snapshot of the same folder.

• Time Machine can't find my Airport Extreme disk

  I have a 3 TB Airport Extreme connected via USB to my iMac.  iMac is El Capitan (10.11.6) running my iMac is a mid-2007.  When I try to set up Time Machine to back up on the AE, it does not offer me EI in option for a backup drive.  In fact, when I look on the Finder, I don't see not EI there either.  What's wrong?

  The USB port on an AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule of airport is here to add an additional hard drive for storing data... or... a compatible USB printer.

  The USB port can be used to connect a Mac or any other computer.

  Instead, your Mac connects to the airport using the wireless or if you want a wired connection, it's via an Ethernet cable.

  AirPort Extreme is not an internal hard drive at all, so you could say you have a 3 TB Time Capsule airport, which does not have an internal hard drive.  Please specify if you have additional questions.

• Cannot switch between multiple Time Machine backups

  I generally save my 2010 Macbook Pro to a 2012 Time Capsule, which is attached to my router via an ethernet cable (most recent) wireless. On a trip, I make the additional backups on an external hard drive. However, when I go home and try to return to the TC, my internal HD is now on the time Machine "Exclude" list and cannot be removed (greyed out). When I try to save, I get a message saying "no disks are available to back up."

  What has happened a few times, and the only solution I could find was to delete my original Time Machine backup and put a new (which took forever).

  Any ideas why my HD internal is added to the exclusion list after using Time Machine with an external hard drive?

  Time Machine backups on a network drive or a disc attached locally stored in different formats. Switching between them was not in the overall theme of the design of this service of OS X.

  I suggest that you set up Time Machine to use multiple disks.

  FWIW, in my case, I backup destinations, Time Machine on a Time Capsule and an external hard drive of 2 bolt of lightning. When both are available, the time goes 'take turns' Machine backup on each drive.

  If a disk is not available, it backs up to that which is, and which ignores the backup of the other. When the two are connected again, backups continue on both.
