Issue of update on time machine

Hello

When I finally install El Cape sierra do I need to do something with my backup external hard drive connected to my iMac tm.

I was wondering what happens to older backups of cap el sierra OS X Copy on them or I have to wipe the drive clean when moving to a new OSX?

Thank you

After you upgrade to Sierra the first time, you can run TM will ask you if you want to inherit the backups. Yes.

  • ISAM speed application issues since update to windows machines 7 (the opportunistic locking and SMB)

    I have a client system that runs an ISAM application, which worked OK on the SBS 2011 machine and windows XP SP3 machines

    The client has since upgraded its workstation to windows 7 x 64 workstations and ISAM application provider recommends that disable us opportunistic locking and also SMB v2 (e.g. force the workstation to communicate via SMB v1)

    We followed the steps described in the various sections of Microsoft KB (2696547 & 296264), and as a result still having very slow network performance.

    Then we found another reference external from the Microsoft site on disabling SMB digital signing, due to the use of SMB v1, and how that can sort out the problem with the speed of network problems.

    The customer had it since and it has improved performance, but it's still not at the same speed, as it was on Windows XP clients.

    is there a way to force windows 7 and SBS 2011 to use SMB 1 protocol and completely disable SMB 2, or we should create a new Member Server to use this ISAM application for sharing files.

    the application is integrated in the line of business customers to change with a huge expense, but the seller request said that intend it to upgrade applications to use some form of plan of database in the future, but it is at least 12 to 18 months away.

    Hello Paul,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you have issues with Windows 7 and SBS 2011 uses SMB 1 protocols and completely disable SMB 2. So I would advice to follow the link below to post your query in the TechNet forums, because they have more expertise on this issue.

  • Why the Time Machine has been slain in 'update' for the days?

    My time Machine apparently has been "frozen" in the update mode days.  The last update indicated was four days; for at least two days the backup flash drive was quickly / blinking constantly as it does by updating. Icon Time Machine on Finder devices activity showed the constantly rotating circle ("update"). Time Machine preferences update status bar has been frozen at about 2% of the way across.

    FYI, a few days ago, a break of a few seconds completely stops the iMac - this time could possibly coincide with the beginning of this "freeze".

    I cut and restarted does not.  Your advice will be welcomed-thanks

    a few things could have happened, but is not limited to a failure or a bad drive.

    I reboot, check the source disk and make all necessary repairs with disk utility.

    If the problem persists, you can also check the disk of destination for damage.

    On what your source disk to destination and how the destination disk is connected to your mac? If it's USB it's thanks to a keyboard or a hub? If so plug it directly into the built computers USB port and do not deviate in a chain of USB devices such as a hub or keyboard.

  • Time Machine or backup from Sierra installed

    I backup my MacBook Pro and MacBook Air to Time Machine but show just 'preparation' constantly.  Tried rebooting the Machine and the time of the Macbook, and they are all connected via Airport utility.  Don't know what other troubleshooting I could undertake?  Any help gratefully received.

    Sierra is having issues and never use Time machine on top of an existing backup anyway.

    The steps are to.

    1. archiving of current backups.

    Plug a USB key that is equal to the size of the disk of the CT (you mix the terms Time Machine... software backup on the computer... and Time Capsule... material target for backups within a router).

    Archive is on the airport utility disk tab.

    2. once the backup is complete. It may take a day or two for 2 TB which is full drive.

    Erase the disc from TC... a quick erase is fine.

    It takes only a few minutes.

    3 factory reset the TC and reconfigure airport under Sierra on one of your Mac utility.

    Reset Time Machine preferences and it should start and run very well.

    But also, you should read some of the other threads here on the problem.

    For example... preparation is supposed to spend a lot of time when you try to use the existing backup... more wireless with two computers together... It will take days to complete.

    Open the activity monitor and ensure that other processes do not always use CPU. A person discovered photos was chew 90% CPU making a function which is part of the update and not allowing any time for TM backup in progress.

  • Time machine no longer works after update to Mac OS Sierra

    Backup Time Machine has stoped working on two of our Macs, I've updated for Sierra (MacBook Pro 15 "beginning 2013 and iMac early 2016"). They don't backup but are blocked for days now in the 'backup preparation' (connected via gigabit ethernet). The iMac uses our backup NAS (Synology DS216j) and a USB HD (Maxtor), now it can't mount the USB HD or, as the MacBook Pro, get to the point of actually perform a backup on the NAS backup server. All computers (all six of'em, five Mac and a Windows thing) was perfectly support towards the top, but those updated for Sierra no longer.

    Someone else who has had this experience and even has a clue what to do about it?

    Hi Dr. freon!

    Thank you for joining the communities Support from Apple! Looks like you are having problems with the Time Machine backup. I know how it is important to be sure that the computer is properly back up at any time. Check out this article which talks specifically of macOS Sierra: If Time Machine still at the stage of "preparation". He has some suggestions of what can cause problems with the backup of your stay to "prepare".

    Another option is to read this article on macOS Sierra: Time Machine troubleshooting.

  • Time Machine does not work after update of the Sierra

    The time function machine my Mackbook Air 2011 stopped working... it has not been saved since update for Sierra, it only take screenshots every hour, it will perform a backup is no longer on my external HD as before.

    There is no problem with the way it is implemented or the hard drive, it's me that my iMac is working perfectly since the update for Sierra and it's backup via the time machine on the same hard disk.

    It is a hard drive and put in place I was in use for about 5 years with no problems.

    Also since the update for Sierra I noticed that my MacBook Air gets hot and the fans go wild, although there was nothing or performance other than the system is auto.

    I lost the use of my built in camera after the update to El Capitan, and now I've lost the use of time machine... I was wondering if I should go back to Yosemite that everything worked well then!... is this possible?

    Thanks for any help with this!

    Update:-just so you know, time machine is to find the back up ok drive (external hard drive), it then goes to "preparing backup" and that's all, he remains in this preparation save the scene for centuries, after a while it just stops and it is saved all... nothing!

    Also noticed when I checked in Time Machine full backup I have before update for Sierra disappeared, he disappeared, been deleted... I don't know what is happening with it!

    Overall since the update for Sierra my MacBook Air did not work properly, in addition to all that Safari does not load, just to get the wheel spinning, and now (with the demise of my old back ups) it seems I can't go back to a previous state.

    My Mackbook Air took it!... the last update took the camera and really Sierra in... material not compatible with all new software, none of the new features work on my iMac or MacBook Air (only Siri), so a useless upgrade for me really, wish I didn't!

  • Time machine keeps 'prepare' update

    I noticed yesterday that this time machine turned when I was on finder. (the small wheel circulating)  I checked and the last update was December 27, several days ago.  I have not updated anything or any news apps in.  Nothing has changed.  I am running Yosemite 10.10.5. on my day 2010 27 "iMac.  After searching for communities, I saw one say to uncheck "put the hard drives to sleep when possible" under the energy saver.  I did and it made no difference.  I get all records of time machine that there is a problem, he just keeps trying to update.  I disabled the time Machine for some time and then restarted, it and got the same.  I removed the current and then attached to time machine backup drive, but no difference.  (the disc has 855 GB 2T available and is about a year.) Have no idea that it would take 5/6 days to prepare to be updated even though I had added something new.

    If I update to El Capitan would be it reset Time Machine.  I've been putting it off power to ensure that most of the bugs are out.

    Thank you

  • A few days, I bought a mac mini which I transferred the data and programs with time machine: programs have been updated except for iMovie, and now it seems that I have to pay for the update: possible? What I am doing wrong?

    A few days ago, I bought a mac mini and I transferred all my data and programs with time machine: all programs have been updated but iMovie (7.1.4)... However, it seems that, to update to the latest version, I have to pay to download on Appstore: is it possible? what I am doing wrong?

    If it were a new mac mini, you need already installed 10.1 iMovie.  Otherwise, but you already have iMovie 9 registered version to your Apple ID, you can upgrade to version 10 for free, but if (as it appears) is an earlier version then you have to buy version 10.
