• Incompatibility of CC and Apple Time Machine for backup of the system?

  I was given this information by a Support person above Adobe technique by CAT yesterday.  The technical support I received was well below the Adobe standards.

  The question of Time Machine was just submitted to our Apple dealer and consultant for advice.  Time Machine has been implemented on my system by Apple technology in 2012 without problems.

  The Adobe Tech ID:24765035 person changed my investigation and remove the creative cloud of my computer without my request.

  I've been subscribed to the plan of CC photography for only 18 months, but am concerned about problems / questions like this.

  I would much appreciate your help.

  Thank you!

  I don't know what your question, but it may (or may not) be useful:

  system restore time-machine and windows both seem to cause a lot of problems with adobe products.

  Once this happens, the only solution is (AFAIK) to uninstall all the programs of issues (i.e., full suite/version), specific to the use of the Adobe Creative Cloud cleaning tool to solve installation problems , then reinstall.

  to reinstall the product cc, install the application of cc, Download Adobe Creative Cloud apps desktop | CC free trial Adobe and use the desktop application to install your programs of cc.

• Mac Mini 2010 Date and reset time

  SP, recently, apparently without any reason at all, date and time of my Mac Mini will reset to January 1, 2000 at 00:00:00 every time that I turn on/off. I tried various methods, such as getting it automatically sets the time and date, manually set the time and date and time zones and other things. Nothing has worked.

  As in the title, it's a Mac Mini 2010. I had this problem before with a full boot disk and other things, drive hard replacement necessary. He was replaced earlier this year, and I had no problem with him since then, so far. It is the break Safari (certificates are not recognized), internet and other applications such as soft. Any suggestions?

  A flat battery logic-board can cause this behavior. Refer to the user manual for replacement instructions. You may need to take the machine to a provider of services to have to replace the battery.

• Two MacBooks, 10.11.4, a fast Time Machine backup and a very slow

  In our office at home, connected to a Gigabit ethernet on the same switch network, we have two MacBooks.  One is a 2011 MBP with a 1 TB SSD (third party), and is an MBA in 2015 with a 512 GB SSD (Apple).  A Linux server on the same network running Netatalk 3 providing the backup network drives, one for each laptop. The two TImeMachine network drives are on the same physical server drive.  Two laptops running 10.11.4 and darn are configured almost identically.  Neither laptop has no trouble finding the network backup drives, and they begin to run backups without problem.

  The old MBP was a workaholic and functioning flawlessly for years, including the fast and regular Time Machine backups. File unique restorations are done with some regularity, and they always worked (I don't think that once done, we use a complete restore of the system from scratch, and it worked).

  The new MBA, in contrast, had endless questions from and complementing the backups.  Last night, for example, I decided to simply reformat the drive on the server where there is a material error affecting the MBA (I ran Linux fsck to check the file system before you wipe it off and he's found no errors) and resumed full backups on two laptops.  The MBP has about 600 GB for the first backup, and complete the backup in about 5 hours.

  MBA, with about 350 Go back up, was still underway this morning and had less than half the backup is finished. In the console log, he showed he was backing about 5 GB/hour.  Not only that, but the incremental backups took a lot of hours (more than overnight), making it impossible to never complete because it must be packed and taken to work at some point in the morning.  I.e. backups are all simple broken on this MBA.

  The MBA connects to the network with a third USB3 (Anker) hub that has a Gigabit Ethernet port on this subject.  I downloaded iperf for Mac and Linux server and found that this is right about 900 Mbps throughput, so I expect an optimal bandwidth is achieved in this regard.

  Any ideas what might be happening here?  Diagnosis between the two to see what could be such a radical difference? Tried to change taps the network wiring/switch problems, without change. Reset, no change.

  We have two other Macs also running backups in this way, under 10.11.4,, and they were also without problem. Also is it just that an MBA, the most recent of the bunch, problems.

  A third-party file server 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 developer 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 problems that result is for the developer (who will blame Apple, neither you nor anyone else but herself.)

• Using Time Machine or the Migration Assistant to transfer information from and old Mac to a new one

  I had to think about upgrading a Macbook Air to a Macbook Pro and have done research on how pretty much everything (files, account icloud, etc.) to move to a new computer so I know how to do it when the time comes. I didn't save my current computer at the time I got it and didn't know whether it was necessary to do it before the transfer. Also, I found two different ways to move information from one mac to another, one way being using the migration wizard, the other via the time machine. The problem is that I've never used time machine (I checked my settings and it is turned off). I was curious to know which option would be the 'best' way and if not never back up my computer would be a problem. (If its possible, could someone also please explain how to back up my computer?)

  Thank you for taking the time to read this and I look forward I hope to get a reply soon!

  I use Time Machine often (and have used since its introduction).  I also upgraded my Mac hardware quite often (about every 18 months).  Whenever I move to a new machine, I use the Migration Wizard (and not Time Machine).  I've never had a problem.

  Then I suggest that you need not Time machine specifically in order to change computers.  However, you really need to keep backups simply because the material is not, and without a backup, you are subject to lose everything you have on your computer.

• 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.

• macOS Sierra stuck on the Time Machine backup

  Its been 2 weeks now since I updated to macOS Sierra and my Time Machine backup is always stuck on "preparing backup" and I tried different disc backup on another partition but still no luck.

  Make sure that:

  o drive the TM is excluded from Spotlight indexing non-mandatory;

  o that all software anti-virus is disabled (especially Sophos);

  o journal of iCloud and other cloud services.

  o check this article: macOS Sierra: If Time Machine still at the stage of "preparation"

  Make sure your TC has no ID configuration inside apple. There is a bug at the moment that Apple introduced recently.

  I highly recommend a clean installation with short names etc.

  Universal factory reset

  Turning off the TC... That is, remove the power supply cord or the power at the wall outlet, wait 10 seconds... Hold the reset button... be nice... Turn on always even now in reset... and keep holding in for another 10 seconds. You may need assistance because it is difficult to hold in reset and power on. It will show the success quickly flashing led front. Release reset... and wait a few minutes for the TC to reset and return with the factory settings. If the front LED flashes quickly you missed and simply try again. The reset is quite fragile in these... Press the key while it is just click away and not more... I've seen people bend lever or even break. I use a toothpick as a tool.

  NB. None of your files on the hard drive of the TC are removed... This simply clears the settings of the router of the TC.

  The installer the TC.

  Then redo the configuration of the computer that you want to use for TM using Airport utility.

  1. the use of very short names... NO APPLE RECOMMENDED names. Without the space and pure alphanumeric characters.

  for example TCgen5 for the base station and the name of the TCwifi wireless.

  If the wireless is still an issue defined wireless names like TC24ghz and assigned the 5 GHz other name... for example. TC5ghz

  2. use all passwords also consistent with 1. but maybe a little longer. IE 8 and 20 characters of mixed cases and numbers... no alphanumeric non-caracteres.

  ** 3. If the TC is router, you can ignore this point. It is only a problem when the TC is bridged.

  If ensure that the TC is always the same IP address... you will need to do this on the main router using a dhcp reservation... or a bit more complex setup by using the static IP address in the TC.

  Ignore this point if you don't understand it... after the return if you drop questions.

  4. be sure that IPv6 is set correctly in the computer. IE link-local only for ethernet or wireless depending on whether you are using. Car is not good enough.

• Time machine disk disappeared launching parallels

  Hello
  When I run the word on Windows 10 on 11 Parallels on my iMac, my Time Machine drive icon disappeared from my office. The time machine software stops the backup of my HD since the drive has disappeared.
  It reappears when parallels is closed and the smoking cessation.
  Why?
  What should I do in order to make parallel and time machine living peacefully side by side. Thanks and greetings

  Personally never used Parallels and there is not much for support information on their Web site.  Based on my experience with VirtualBox, surface-mounted disk in the virtual machine, it takes control of the host OS.  This is perhaps what is happening.

  This seems to be a relevant article in the Parallels knowledge base.

• How do I reinstall my Time Machine

  My time machine seems to be full! How is it, I thought that old data will be removed and make room for new data. The text says; You have a space of 1 t, but only 300 free and you have 405 to race.
  Now, I've lost the whole time machine, because I took it away. How do I reinstall my Time Machine?

  I don't understand the question...

  I guess that you are talking about Time Capsule (hardware router with hard disk inside) of Time Machine (software backup on the computer).

  I thought the old data will be deleted and make room for new data.

  When you perform an update of the OS, it gets lost... He really needs wipe the drive and start again.

  Now, I've lost the whole time machine, because I took it away. How do I reinstall my Time Machine?

  Do you need to recover anything from the old backup? Or you want to preserve the old backup, then use archive... plug a Mac to format USB key into the TC 1 TB or more and it will do a full backup.

  If you do not need to backup then simply click on erase and use the quick erase, which will take a few minutes at most.

  

  So just to be clear. Once you clear the disk the old backups are gone... and you can then start a new fresh backup...

  If this isn't what you want to do that... so DO NOT CLEAR... Once you clear, you can't recover.

  But it's the way to start with a new clean backup.

• 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

• time machine, not the size hourly backups

  I've been running Time Machine on a large partition of a hard drive external backup since June 2012.

  I noticed a week ago about 13 December 2015, the TM backup used disk space faster. I found that TM was maintaining all hourly backups since November 1, 2015. It was delete no, he wasn't going to the daily or weekly. So I have every hour Nov. 1 to Dec. 20 (so far) of backup 2015. No idea why started from that date either.

  I then ran disk utility to repair the TM and initially found some mistakes (which I had not), but repaired OK.

  A few days later, I ran THE NEW and confirmed drive was OK.

  I deleted library/preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist and then configure TM again via system preferences. He backed up in the right place but still retained all of the hourly backups.

  I created a small TM backup on another partition of the external hard drive for 36 hours. He kept one then deleted backups older than 24 hours. Just as it takes.

  I put back to elements of TM and original score, but even once he kept keep all backup schedules.

  I started in safe mode, run TM without change.

  I would like to than TM fix/delete all backups hours/then every day as it should be past or in the future.

  All solutions other than 1. manually remove the redundant backups via 'Star Wars' or 2. leave full to have to buy another external hard drive.

  I have a mini PPC running 10.5.8. The backup of my hard drive is about 58 GB, the partition on the HDD is 385 GB with 22 GB of spare right now.

• Help me to get my head around Time Machine/VMware fusion + Snapshots

  Well, then it seems that Time Machine under Leopard and snapshots (set to auto) are of a similar nature.  Time Machine is be all end all, or try to anyway.  I guess my question is double:

  1.) if Time Machine backs up everything: hourly, daily, weekly, etc.  Autosnapshots in VMware is an exaggeration?  Maybe it's just a personal decision, but I would like to hear comments on it so that I can make a more informed choice.

  2.) I have heard several different stories of Time Machine, not backup of virtual machines / support their place too often... it's what history on it?  I use the newer of the two: Fusion and Leopard.  All software are up to date.

  Please help me understand.  Thank you.

  First thing I want to mention is that I do not consider stereotypes as backup solutions because they are stored on the local drive. If the disk down both your virtual machines and snapshots are parties.

  In terms of time Machine, I've seen users have limited success. In general, I wouldn't recommend using Time Machine with VM as it will save all changes (once per hour). When the virtual machine is open it is constantly evolving. You can imagine what it's going to make your backup storage when Time Machine backs up your 20 GB VM every hour.

  My best and easiest solution is simply to drag and drop the virtual computer on an external drive from time to time. If you are more concerned with the information (documents, etc.) in the virtual machine and not the virtual machine, an automated way would be to Shard folders such as installation Documents and have Time Machine backs up those specific folders.

  I hope this helps.

• Disk error backup external hard Time machine

  Hello
  While that hurry to catch a flight, I accidentally disconnected my external hard drive (which I use for time machine backups) before ejecting.  Now the House, the time machine backup does not recognize my external hard drive.  I went into disk utility to try to repair the disk.  Here's what he said:

  
  

  Verification and repair card partition for "Time Machine external HDD ' Verification of prerequisitesChecking map of partition partition listAdjusting to adapt to any disk as a requiredChecking for a partitionChecking of the system EFI sizeChecking of the system partition EFI systemChecking of file system EFI the EFI folder of the system partition contentChecking partition data HFS charger spacesChecking boot partitionsReviewing support loadersChecking Core Volume physical storage partitionsUpdating Windows boot.ini boot files of score as card requiredThe partition seems to be OK

  I could really use some help as to how I should proceed.  Any advice?
  

  I think you need to clear this backup disk, and while you are this and do a full backup (which takes all afternoon to all night) you will be working without a net. If you do in idle time, and after checking your boot disk, the risk of catastrophic failure while the backup is low. Start now and in the future, you will have a backup.

  If you have a different backup disk, add it and Time Machine will create a new independent backup on it, and then Time Machine alternate disks automatically.

• Why did all of my files migrate to my new iMac using Time Machine?

  I recently bought a new iMac and used Time Machine to transfer my data from my Macbook.  Why not a not transfer files of Pages, Numbers and Keynote?  Why all three have a? on the dock?

  Files transferred without doubt, but the Dock shortcuts are not connected to them.

  Try to remove these shortcuts from the Dock and replace them with news from your Applications folder.
