• Time Machine backs up too much upward

  Hello

  I recently bought a Capsule 2 TB and my MacBook Pro using Time Machine backup. When first installed, I've caused a problem with the process and after that TM works perfectly, save every hour, I changed the name of the time Capsule and things this is ugly even if I tried to change the name back. I put the time Capsule at its factory, deleted all the previous data backup settings, it relinked on my Mac and restarted the initial upward.

  Everything looks fine but now Time Machine back up to several times per hour, and at random intervals, sometimes without be planned. It doesn't seem to be taking additional storage on the Time Capsule, so it's more an annoyance that there are has multiple windows when I enter Time Machine or duplication of files. There are also 2 or 3 for each day more than 24 hours ago. I started back up only when it is plugged. I don't think that there is a problem with my power adapter/cable.

  Any advice? Thank you very much.

  Time Machine is designed to backup to local drive, if the normal backup target is disconnected.

  I recommend you do a reset of time Machine.

  Here see A4. He is old, but the method is still valid.

  http://pondini.org/TM/troubleshooting.html

  Then reconfigure for backup of your TC.

  Disable backups when the target is disconnected.

  See http://pondini.org/TM/30.html

  IMHO, it may be useful to consider buying Carbon Copy Cloner or other backup software. Stop time Machine and use something that is more reliable and more controllable. It can back up to CT as does TM.

• How to back up to external hard drive using time machine

  I just bought a new drive external toshiba with 500 GB of memory. When I tried to back up my computer last night through a time machine, I thought that it worked, but when I woke up this morning, time machine told me that my oldest and the most recent backup is none which means that it does not cross. I tried again this morning but after hitting "back up now" time machine prepares the backup, and then start it, giving me a ridiculously ETA such a 15 hours, then never completely complete the back which is really confusing so I do not know what to do.

  Did you partition and format your new drive before using it? What version of Mac OS X?

• The displacement of time Machine on an iMac to a new macbook

  I have a new macbook and I copied the files from my iMac to it. I would like to take his retirement from the iMac and the macbook it will become my main computer. My time machine is 50% full. Should I format my external drive for Time Machine and start all over again?

  It is up to you. If you leave the external drive, as it is now, Time Machine will focus on making backups until your hard drive is full. Then, it will start deleting older backups, probably those made in your iMac.

  If you think you won't have old backups, you can use disk utility to format the external drive and start all over again, but it is not necessary. Time Machine can do the work for you automatically.

• Time Machine deleted messages on an external drive to the trash can on iMac are taking place on the hard drive?

  I am struggling with a computer, try to empty the trash with 1million 300,000 Time machine backup files. It runs for two days now and won't install. At this rate, I'll need a week before my computer becomes viable. I don't feel able to go to the Terminal to do the trick. Also at this point, I'm afraid to stop the process again... Backups on an external drive of pigs 400 GB on my drive hard imac... I have so little room to work right now. I deleted some 200,000 files already yet the storage on my imac HD has not moved. The files in the Recycle Bin of the external drive really live on my hd now until they will be deleted if all goes well before Christmas?

  I have a new computer to come next week so I'm wondering if I'll just reformat my entire hd in my imac to solve this problem... Any ideas?

  You do all this in the Finder?

  Time Machine has to delete the files from the user interface, normally "browsing Time Machine backup", navigate to the desired folder, and select the option "delete all backups of...» ». This is the approved way that should work.

  If you are manually dragging the items in the trash of in a Time Machine backup, it can choke. Time Machine stores data with many levels of access control permissions & Finder seems to have difficulties to remove to empty the trash. In fact, I think that the TM drive has limits to prevent normal users to change data on this disk.

  Personally, I think your safest option is to abandon the process, restart, erase and reformat the Time Machine drive. Who will lose all history backups but again in a clean condition seems to be better than trying to manually prune the Time Machine data. Time Machine removes old backups when it is full - so you shouldn't really need to intervene like this anyway.

  Wait and see if anyone has a better idea.

  P.S., each disk has its own "basket", so doing drag items should not fill your Mac startup disk. Maybe the operating system is out of memory, try to process all the files, exit other applications & see if that changes anything, you may have to wait just if you want to avoid to abandon the process.

• I can't remove the time machine backups, I put it in the trash

  My backup disk is almost full, and I want to take on a value of years of backup files until I can get a new backup drive to perform other files that I want to keep. I tried their erasure of the finder inside the time machine, but nothing happened. I sent them to the trash, and they seem to have disappeared from my external backup drive, but are now stuck in the trash. I left the machine running all night to see that it says it cannot remove these files because they are locked. Can you please tell me what I should do now?

  Thank you

  Go to the trash and use "Put" place files back where they belong. Time Machine is designed to remove automatically the old backup when it is full.
