• Migrate from Time Machine retains former name

  I bought a new iMac and migrated from Time Machine. He kept the name of my old computer. How can I change the name? Rename the hard drive does not help.

• Migration of Time Machine to the new drive, backups are larger than the Original drive

  I am currently migrating my Time Machine backups from a 2 TB WD My Passport for Mac to a new WD 6 to my book for Mac. I have 63 backups on the old disk, and Finder says that the reader has TB filled 1.96.

  However, each individual backup is about 350 GB, which certainly does not. I think normally it was something weird with the Finder listing the wrong sizes, except that when I copy the backups to the new disk, they copy effectively to 350GB a piece. I initially tried to copy everything the ~ 2 TB Backups.backupdb at once, but it was so great, she didn't, then I copy on each both a backup in a folder that I had planned to rename "Backups.backupdb" at the end. At this rate, I will fill new TB cases 6 drive long before copying all backups on.

  How is that possible?

  Just to be complete, I'm using a Macbook Pro of the retina 2012, 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 graphics card Intel HD 4000 1536 MB, 512 GB of storage, under OS X 10.11.3.

  Time Machine saves the previous backups for the continuous backup size to become more wider until there is no more space on the backup drive. It is quite normal because Time Machine is an archive backup utility.

• I have a MBP end 2011 running yosemite which is dead.  How can I migrate (from Time Machine) on a similar MBP (mid-2012).  I don't mind if I lose data on the MBP of the latter.  Essentially, I want my old MBP to take the newest one.

  My MBP end 2011 died.  I want to migrate its content on Time Machine to a bit newer MBP.  Basically the old MBP return to the most recent.  It doesn't matter if the data on the new MBP are lost.  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello

  Yes you can do it. Pondini (here) has a few options to do.

  You can also try Migration Wizard. See this article. But I'd go with Pondini, the guru of the Time Machine.

• Migration using Time Machine - case sensitive issue

  I get a message "the selected source can't be used for migration-source do not use a case-sensitive file system" when I try to migrate using a Time Machine backup.  Any ideas?

  What this comes down to say the following:

  • Your existing backups located on a volume that is NOT case sensitive. In other words, it has been partitioned as Mac OS extended (journaled).
  • The destination drive you are trying to migrate these files to is a volume that is case-sensitive. In other words, it is partitioned as Mac OS extended (case-sensitive, journaled).

  You can check this in OS x disk utility by selecting the drive and then, by selecting file > read the information.

  The image below is an example of result to do. Note the value of parameter "is case-sensitive. In this case, this volume is not case sensitive, which means that a file named Bob or bob would be the same file. It is the default setting for the Mac's internal hard drive.

  

  I think that the only option at this point is to change the volume of destination is NOT case-sensitive to proceed with the migration.

• The problem of migration of Time Machine. Help!

  Dear Group,

  I have a situation that requires advice.

  Try to restore my iPhoto library (119GB) backup Time Machine from an old macbook that crashed.

  But my new macbook is only 150 GB, has no space and too costly to extend storage.

  I tried to copy the library directly from the backup files, but that doesn't seem to work with some 50% missing/illegible photos.

  I bought an external hard drive (1 TB) and I was wondering if anyone knows how can I move the iPhoto (119GB) library in the external hard drive?

  Apple migration assistant only allows me to migrate on the new macbook that is too small to contain pictures.

  I hope to migrate in the external hard drive and access my library of this player in the future.

  All tips are very much appreciated!

  Is that iPhoto iPhoto or iPhoto Photos?  https://www.Apple.com/support/Mac-apps/photos/

• How can I migrate a time machine backup external USB drive to time capsule

  Searched the forums and can't seem to find an answer. With the help of El Capitan 10.11.6. You want to transfer backups Time Machine 4 years on an external USB drive on my new Time Capsule. Any ideas would be MUCH appreciated.

  There is no official method because it has problems.

  There's no official way.

  Here see Q18. http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html

  We recommend that people not me there. It has not proven reliable long-term. Start a new backup on the TC and keep the USB stick in the form of archive. After a few months or a year you won't have it.

  You have to understand the Time Machine backup otherwise locally the CF network. It is easy enough to move the backup network local but much harder the other way around.

• Cannot remove old Time Capsule for time Machine destinations

  My MacBook Pro moves with me between my home office and the different clients that I visit. At home, Time Machine backs up a volume of Time Machine on my Xserve served to the network by OS X Server. I guess that for the Mac it looks like a Time Capsule, although in my case, it's a RAID 5 with 12 TB of capacity.

  The problem, when I connect to one network other than my home network. As you can see, the window from system preferences Time Machine offer 'Time Machine backup on 'Dominik AirPort Extreme' network', which is not actually present on any network. When I go home, Time Machine continues to try to save this destination does not exist and does not back up the volume on my Xserve. I have to manually switch for my Mac starting the backup on the Xserve again.

  

  How can I make my Mac forget this volume forever? A couple of system reinstalls, to the end that I use the Migration Wizard to copy the configuration of the system from a backup, have not helped.

  On the computer of my wife as a backup destination appears, the good pair:

• Error in Time Machine preferences

  Error in Time Machine preferences

  Could not load Time Machine preferences panel.

  (Very late) I noticed that Time Machine has not performed a backup since August 16. I wanted to open Time Machine preferences in order to restart the backup or what is the problem. I can't get the Time Machine preferences window to load.

  I already have:

  Restarted the computer, hold down the SHIFT key

  Removed from the external hard drive on Airport Extreme and plugged directly on the mobile phone to make sure it works. Checked with disk utility.

  Renamed the external hard drive with a name I didn't know I will recognize.

  Reconnect the external player to the Airport Extreme.

  Computer runs a mid 2009 MacBook Pro with El Capitan.

  An Ethernet cable connects the extreme a very close express to the laptop. Intense beep.

  Ideas or cures?

  First, try the next simple step. Search for the file

  / Library/Preferences/com. Apple.TimeMachine.plist

  ... and drag it to the trash.

  To access this file, copy the line following and Paste it in the Finder go > go to folder... window.

  / Library/Preferences /.

  Make it look like this

  

  Click OK. In the Finder window that opens, find the file com.apple.TimeMachine.plist and drag it to the trash.

  Sign out and then sign back in. Determine if you can open the Time Machine preferences window.

• Time machine always fails after a day or two

  It is so incredibly boring, I can't understand what is happening.

  "Unable to complete backup, an error occurred when creating the backup folder.

  Research online, I found to delete the .inprogress folder, but there is nothing here that named (I looked in fFinder and Terminal)

  When I look at the console it gives me this error:

• Time Machine don't prune the old El Capitan backups and works out of space and "backup fails.

  With the help of El Capitan 10.11.1, I noticed a change in behavior with the handling of the time Machine of large files, specifically the files of virtual disk VMWare Fusion (about 50 large concerts).  After a few weeks of use of fusion VM virtual machine, Time Machine gives an error where it ran out of space and "backup failed."

  I had the same problem occur on a second iMac that I own.

  I reformatted my external drive for Time Machine and started fresh, but after a few weeks, I got the same error again.  It seems that Time Machine is not the size or remove older backups of VMware virtual disk to provide a space for the new.

  Previous versions of Mac OS X and Time Machine had no problem with the backup of large files such as these.

  Has anyone else noticed "backup failed" message with Time Machine on El Capitan?  I know that I can exclude the disk virtual VMware backup, but that defeats the entire purpose of Time Machine backups.  Any suggestions?

  Time Machine automatically deletes older snapshots to make room for the new. If your backup history is shorter than expected, it may be because you want to save one or more large files frequently.

  Software virtualization VMware, Parallels or VirtualBox creates a large virtual disk container that is constantly evolving. It will not be saved at all while the virtual machine running, and at other times it must be saved each Time Machine performance. Who fills up quickly any backup destination.

  You must exclude files from virtual drive of your Time Machine backups. To do this, click the Options button in the Time Machine preferences window. You can also do this to virtualization, application settings. Back up the files on the virtual disk within the comments system, using a native backup application.

  A compromise solution is to create a 'snapshot' of the virtual machine in the virtualization software (not a Time Machine snapshot.) This will give you a single large file that never changes and only has to be saved once. All future changes will be stored in a file that is much smaller initially, but will grow over time. You must always exclude this backup TM file. If you need to restore the computer virtual of Time Machine, you will have a working configuration, which will be easy for you to restore the rest of the data in the system of comments.

• Time Machine preferences shows no backup

  Very strange problem. I have not saved for a while, and when I attach my drive of Thunderbolt containing backups and go into the preferences panel, it shows no dates more old/last backup.

  However, if I run the Time Machine application, I get the full history of the backups and can browse and restore files as usual.

  If I turn YOU backup automatic, he said his will perform a first backup

  First question is: if I let it, that, is it the problem or composed it?

  How can second question, I get the preferences panel to see the history?

  Thanks in advance
