• Can I partition my drive Time Machine to back up the other 2 drives?

  Is it possible to partition a hard drive and use it with Time Machine to back up the other 2 drives?

  Example: I want to save internal drive of my iMac and my external storage drive, and I wonder if I can partition a hard drive for use with Time Machine, in order to safeguard my internal drive on one partition and the external drive to another partition. Hope that makes sense.

  Yes, if it's not a time Capsule, but I wouldn't recommend it. I would use readers separated for each device you want to back up. If you put all one hard drive and this player goes down, then you have lost all your backups. With separate if backup fails a drive you will always have backups remaining intact.

• iPhoto has lost all the additions from June 2015 to 21 Feb 1016. Tried to restore from Time Machine, it still has the gap.

  The date is February 24, 2016.

  I'm studying me ways to copy the library iPhoto in full on an external drive. I've been in the Finder > my username > photos, simply by looking at the dates, and I'm not aware that I made any changes.

  I was adding a handful of photos every day for the last week or two.

  I noticed that the file system is not quite as it was a week ago, and it seems that the last event is June 29, 2015, up to an import on February 22, 2016. In other words, it seems iPhoto has restored to its state of June 2015 then accepted imports from February 2016. I had not yet been in Time Machine!

  In the Finder > username > images, from now on, I see there: -.

  "Today."

  "iPhoto Library", type - package, with a white page icon folded, created may 2012, 30.8 GB, modified today, version 9.4.3.

  'iPhoto Library (original)', kind - iPhoto Library, with a colored icon, created may 2012, 27.46 GB, today, no modified version mentioned.

  «Past 7 days»

  "iPhoto Library (2 originals)" type - package, with a blank icon page folded, created may 2012, 30,77 GB, modified February 19, 2016 (its Feb 24 today), version 9.4.3

  In Time Machine, I restored version Feb 19, I find that the library was complete at this date, but the library has the same gap to date.

  I would be grateful for any suggestion. I didn't have it backed up to the cloud. Please have mercy, I'm not that tech-letter, so I would appreciate instructions step by step to the intermediate level.

  A big thank you Doug - greetings-

  You do not use the finder in any way with your iPHoto photos - when you launch iPhoto see you - especially in the last import, and last month "n"?

• new time machine snapshots copied to the old directory of the machine not recognized

  I had a time Capsule 2 TB which showered, and I started a new backup (a USB key) by mode Apple drive. It took me a while to return to deal with the old clichés left on my Time Capsule. I found nothing specific online to tell me how to deal with this, so I made a few decisions naïve. I've disabled the Time Machine, renamed my new store backup and copied over the old store backup on the new backup drive time Capsule. Then in a Terminal on the command line, I mvhad snapshot directories in the newly copied backup of the old backup store store renamed folder. NOTE: On this site, I learned about a Time Machine of assistance called bypasscommand, and I needed to use it to move the Flash files in the command line:

  $ sudo mv 2016-09-17-211302 /System/Library/Extensions/TMSafetyNet.kext/Contents/Helpers/bypass.

  .. /.. /Backups.BackupDB/MyMachine /

  At this point, I thought: well, now, I have all my old and new pictures in the active backup store on the local USB drive. Then I turned on the Time Machine, and the first backup failed:

  "An error occurred during the file copying. The problem may be temporary. If the problem persists, use disk utility to repair your backup disk. »

  Then I noticed that Finder shows only most original snapshots while in the Terminal, I see all snapshots using the ls command. All snapshots have the same names in fashion and the owner/group permissions. So, why don't Finder shows all snapshots and why is Time Machine unhappy?

• Time Machine wants to finish the backup

  I recently had a repair on my MacBook Pro.  They replaced the Logic Board 2.5 GHz.  Time Machine now wants to do a full backup instead of only since my last backup.  Should I just let a backup completes or is there a way to backup only since the last of them?  Will allowing him to make a full backup take too much space on my external hard drive?  The drive is fairly new and I know that there is enough space (for now.)  Apple advice for troubleshooting time Machine said to call the repair center, but I thought someone here might be able to help.  Thank you.

  This is quite normal. Time Machine it's an another computer because the new logic board. So, you have to make a new backup. If you have no space on the backup drive, then erase the disc first.

• Time machine could not complete the backup of... The backup disk image could not be found (error (null))

  Running OS 10.11.3 on my early 2011 Macbook Pro 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 with 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, use Time Machine to back up to my Airport 802.11ac purchased 16/09/2014:

  Backup failed: Time Machine could not complete the backup of... Airport Time Capsule.   The backup disk image ' / Volume/Data/MacBookPro.sparsebundle ' could not be found (error (null)).   Last successful backup: yesterday at 12:17

  I can see the airport and the data file in my network.

  I immediately did a full time Machine backup on a USB key and it disconnected from my system.

  I unplugged the airport, let it rest for a minute and returned the power plug, let it settle for a green light.  I'm restarting Time Machine backup to the airport.

  I need to replace the airport?  The appliance starts to fail?  Or, it is more likely is a problem with winter static electricity that has damaged the image and reconstruction will fix all this.  Reconstruction will take about four hours with no guarantee that it will work.

  Please see #C17 in this document great support... http://pondini.org/TM/troubleshooting.html

• Time Machine restore, most of the alias icons are broken?

  I recently restored the system of Time Machine, but my alias (for most) have broken images.  If I copy the aliases, they are all fixed, but I can't do it exactly for each alias on the machine!  Restoration of the alias of Time Machine seems to have the same effect.

  Is it possible for the shot to solve this problem?

  I tried several solutions, compensation resolved cache:

  Deploy sudo rm - rf / *.

  sudo rm - rf ~/Library/Caches/*

  Reset

  If I had known what specific cache which is held the icon broken, images that would have been better.  It turns out that only some of the specific sizes were broken, which explains why the icons seem to appear and then disappear again on another page.
