My time machine is just stuck on the preparation of backup but does not - any help appreciated.

Hi, my Apple Time Machine is just sitting on "Preparing Backup"... .initially it says cannot backup disks so I hard re - adjust time machine and now he is right on "Preparing backup" for hours and hours, any help would be appreciated.

'Préparation' is going to take ages if you did a Hard Reset on the Time Capsule.

Make sure that you are not trying to save more wireless, which will take 3 - 5 times longer, on average, that direct Ethernet connection between your Mac and the time Capsule.

Even with a direct Ethernet connection, you might see "Préparation" for a few hours before the real return to start.

  • stuck on the preparation of backup time machine

    After 20 hours, system preferences says still "preparing backup...". »

    Backup of 1 TB (330 GB free) iMac

    at the score of 1 TB external drive (170 GB free).

    Save on USB3, using an Inateck, WD 4 TB of disk docking station

    drive already used for Time Machine.

    Last backup 6 months ago.

    I can feel humming of backup disk, so something's happening.

    Any ideas? I started again the next day, still on the "preparation of backup."

    Please follow the troubleshooting steps in the end of Pondini guide, located at Time Machine - troubleshooting

  • Stuck on the preparation of backup

    Time Machine seems to remain on backup prepares for hours, even on the iMac and Macbook Pro - ideas?

    It is a pretty common question.

    There is not a hard and fast answer.

    You should read Pondini, who has some good info, but is a little dated.

    D1 here is a good starting point. http://pondini.org/TM/troubleshooting.html

    He has links with a number of issues.

    TM is a pretty inefficient process that requires a lot of info back and forth.

    At any time did you set time... instead of hourly backups make everyday?

    You have an antivirus on the computer... which can dramatically slow things down?

    But it may just be plain old wireless or network problems.

    What operating system do you use?

    It uses wireless on both? Can you please test with ethernet... at least the laptop?

    No ethernet port buy love at first sight for the ethernet on the apple store card... the very best investment you can make in accessories.

    What is the full provision of the network?

    If the TC is bridged, are you connected to it directly or through the main or even worse Express extensions wireless router.

    Apple has a rating... I lost his location at the moment... that your computer should be directly connected to the CT... by ethernet or wireless... without going through the main router.

    Apple has serious problems of DNS... where the operating system can simply lose the TC.

    It may be corrupted on the source files.

    In the reference of Pondini see A5 to verify backups. And install the widget to let you know what happens... A1. The widget is a bit complicated to install El CAPO, but he still works and is always useful to have.

    I have other suggestions... especially to avoid Time Machine except on external drives the... Apple really did mess and behavior TM is less reliable. Strongly recommend to people using a 3rd party like Carbon Copy Cloner backup. It is extremely fast and reliable. It is not the same as TM by a wide selection of incremental files... I run both... I think something important to have a backup I can trust... and TM is not this one.

I can click on it, or do a right click and then restore, but does not open the window containing this group of tabs. The other group works very well.

  • View-PCoIP does not connect on the desktop with ViewPlanner, but does not connect manually

    I saw this mentioned in a few subjects, but I've not seen a resolution.

    I configured a remote view-PCoIP see Planner run profile. The customer and and food Office of VMs on. The Office is a newspaper and connect the client starts the view Client PCoIP. It connects on the view connection server, but not on the desktop. The error message is 'office 'Unknown' is not in the list of desktop titled. (see the folder of the image as an attachment).

    I press the OK button on the error message, start the Client view manually, by using the same credentials see Planner in AD, and I am able to connect to connect to the server, then the virtual desktop computer. The job see Planner runs even at this place (if I don't stop to see Planner first).

    Two days ago, that I was able to run a desktop computer without problem running 10 profile. Since then, I've added several hundred offices at the pool, no other configuration change I can think. The pool is an automatic with floating assignments, office computers are supplied with View Composer. The 'Test' AD security group has the right (see image file).

    I don't understand why see Planner cannot connect to a desktop computer, so that I can do it manually.

    I see the same behavior with a single or multiple, virtual machine run profile.

    Here is an extract from the journal of the unit (all IP addresses are on an area of temporary laboratory, so I really don't like if they are exposed).

    Thanks and greetings

  • I'm a fool - recovery mode. Tried the sansa.fmt folder, but does not work... Help, please!

    My buddy gave me his sansa used for a Christmas gift.  I loved.  They when I delete his old songs that I deleted the other folders on it as well (pictures, records, etc.)  basically everything except the music files.  Now, when I turn it on, it says "cannot load the main image.  switch to recovery mode.  I browsed the forums and tried to make the sansa.fmt folder (it formatted) but still does not work.  I can't find the stuff I deleted from the Recycle Bin.

    Thank you in advance and happy holidays.

    It's Christmas time.  Santa has something cool in his bag, I'm sure.  We will first check the device to version 1.

    When he started upward, you saw just the SanDisk logo with sunburst on the splash screen?  I just want to be sure that your e200 is not a Rhapsody Sansa, because this version has different firmware.  R has a Rhapsody splash screen after the initial one.

    You've seen how to connect in Recovery Mode, Yes?  Start with the e200 decommissioned.  Slide the HOLD switch to the right (orange showing) and hold the button depressed all REC by plugging into the USB port.  It is the easiest method of recovery mode.

    Alternatively, you can start the Recovery Mode if the REC button is held, and the power-menu button is tapped too. In both cases, welcome to the Recovery Mode is displayed.  Either incidentally, the MSD acronym on the screen refers to the "Mass Storage Device", as in MSC mode.

    A few words of caution before going any further.  Recovery mode opens the reserved partitionof the device.  Critical data are stored here.  Do NOT use the Windows format command when this partition is opened, or you will erase these critical data! Only use the sansa.fmt folder trick to tell the e200 himself format automatically.

    Download and Unzip the TWO files of firmware for your Sansa e200v1 here.  It is the 01.02.24, the final version.  Just click on the version you want for your region.  The Sansa Updater link isn't what you need.

    The two files, after him have unzipped, are pp5022.mi4 and BL_SD... ROM (mental block on the name at the moment).

    When you connect the e200 and open a window of Windows Explorer (my computer / computer), you will see a new icon, 16 MB FORMAT.  Double-click this to open reserved partition.  Do not touch the file version.txt in there and don't TRY to use the Windows Format command that appears with a right-click, bad juju.

    Let's go Happy window. Drag the first window to a convenient size, and the other with your firmware files can be placed on the desktop.  Now for the magic!  Simply drag and drop these two firmware files on in the open window that represents the reserved partition.  Cool huh?  Easier to make the ratio of rum and eggnog just right.

    Now, if there are a bunch of gibberish stored on the device, and you want to start with a clean slate, you can tell the e200 to format the primary partition (where music, videos and photos are) automatically.  Click right while in the 16MB FORMAT box and select new folder.  RENAME it sansa.fmtfolder and the Sansa will follow this command after installing the firmware.

    Go to the task bar at the bottom of the screen and click the command remove device or eject the disc.  Again, WIndows like formatting of devices, it of eject you want, do not fit!

    Unplug, and restore your e200!  Slide the HOLD switch to the left.

    Let me know how it goes, since the Bobster has other tricks in the bag.  This one should do the trick.

    Oh, I forgot.  You're not a fool.
