New configuration of Time machine

My present external HD do not work. I need a new one for time machine.

Ive ordered a new d2 quadra HD Laetitia.

The new rebel is supplied with the software for installation and other maintenance actions.

I don't know what kind of file system is in the rebel.

1, do I need to format the new Laetitia before except that it for time machine?

2, the rebel can work as a machine of time if not formatted and leave these files in the State?

3, is time machine knows what it is to the AutoFormat and Laetitia it?

Thank you

When you get the Lacie, connect it to the iMac and launch disk utility.  Use to format the new DHM as Mac OS extended (journaled), that it is used with your iMac reformatted and it will totally wipe clean. DO NOT use any software of Lacie.

Once the EHD are format Mac OS extended (journaled) Time Machine should start and invite you to use the new DHM as your TM drive. From there, follow the onscreen controls. You can learn more about TM to use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple Support

  • New configuration of Time capsule

    New time Machine 2 TB, put up with WAG54G2 linksys Cisco Modem, what are the correct setting?

    I currently have the time in bridge mode machine, to remove the effects of double NAT. Can I put my modem in Bridge mode and time machine handle everything? If so, how? Step by step instructions would be appreciated as I am a novice touch.

    New time Machine 2 TB, put up with WAG54G2 linksys Cisco Modem, what are the correct setting?

    Mode bridge on the Time Capsule is the correct setting to use with the Linksys WAG54G2 you have from the Linksys device is not only a modem, but a complete network and router.

    Can I put my modem in bridge mode

    It would be a matter of your Internet Service provider... is they indicated the Linksys device you... or for the support of Linksys people.

    The manual for the WAG54G2 I downloaded did not indicate all the options for "modem only" mode, or bridge, even in advanced settings is possible and probable that the WAG54G2 do not have this type of capability.

    If you find your ISP or Linksys support, there is a menu 'hidden' for other advanced options on the WAG54G2 allowing the device to set up as only a simple bridge mode modem, the next question to ask would be if your ISP requires PPPoE or PPPoA authentication.

    The time Capsule will support PPPoE... but not PPPoA... then you would have a very clear understanding of the requirements of service from your ISP in this regard.

    It's a simple matter of reconfiguring the time Capsule to act as the router of the network if it turns out that the WAG54G2 can be configured as a simple modem... and our ISP requires PPPoE authentication for their service.  We will cross that bridge when and if we get to it.

  • New router lost Time MAchine

    Now later in my problems without end with networking...

    This morning I installed a new router (former a packed) which is identical to the former - a BT Home Hub 5.

    I had a list established this:

    ... that is the time Machine / aka basic Station (why there so many names!) has been connected to my network via Wi - Fi.

    Now I have the new road, everything is set back to how it was before aside, I lost the TC. The reason is that the new router, even if I have named themselves, they have different WiFi key password (of course).

    I see this now:

    I can see in the upper left corner, he found a point WiFi (TC), but whenever I'm going to add it, it seems to want to replace one of my other components. All I want to do is get back to where I was, with her concected 'Abbey Home Office' and not 'Cook' etc. I join my back ups of the last year to be always accessible! This is the point of a Machine of time after all...

    When I installed it initially, I'm sure that I had to set up wired - but can I use the WAN or LAN port on the TC and can I connect on the Mac or the router.

    So confused...

    It really should connect the TC in one of the other airports... the main router or what you called Hub... it makes no difference as long as the main router is also a gigabit.

    Setup the TC in bridge mode and create a... wireless network you can use the same name for the wireless as the rest of your network... but it should be noted that this sometimes causes issues if you have the computer plugged into another airport or the main router... for now a problem... Time Capsule recovery online... (It's a Capsule time btw...) Time Machine is the software on the computer that performs the backup... the two are not related in any way, but apple has mightily confused the issue. )

    If the automatic configuration does not do it manually.

    Here is my latest version of el capo...

  • 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.

  • Restoring my data to a new SSD with Time Machine

    I'm going to buy a new SSD hard drive, and I backed up all my data in Time Machine on an external hard drive. Is it possible to restore all my data only through Time Machine? I have a bootable USB key with El Capitan on that, I'm not worried about the operating system. Wouldn't time machine recognize my computer as a completely different machine? This treatment?

    If it is possible how I would go about it?

    Your new SSD must be in the format GUID extended journeled using disk utility. Boot into Recovery (R command).

  • How partition an external hard drive and configure for Time Machine backup?

    I am a rookie just to switch to Windows Apple Mac and I'm looking to back up my new iMac with a Seagate hard drive 2 TB external.  My Mac is a 1 TB hard drive, I'm looking to partition for backup and storage.  Is this a good idea?  Is there a simple way to do it?  I appreciate any help I can get.  I also bought three years of Apple support, but I'd rather do it myself, so I thought I'd give this discussion from the community to try.  Thank you!!

    No, it isn't. Your working data and backups must be on separate drives in case one of them goes down.

  • Clone of Time machine backup to a new drive?

    I'm trying to help out a new Mac. Before, I had two back ups of all my data: on the hard drive of my old iMac and my external time machine backup disk. Long story, but during the process of troubleshooting using AppleCare support, my iMac has been cleared. Now, I have only the Time Machine external backup.

    I bought a new drive for Time Machine external backup on my new Mac. I am very very afraid of something bad happens to my old Time Machine backup during the troubleshooting process. My question is, is there a way to clone back to the top of my old drive time machine to the new, so I once more two copies?  If something happens to my old time machine up during this process of troubleshooting, I won't lose all my files.

    I'm not familiar with the Time Machine backups, and even if they need to be cloned since that they are not bootable backups.  The following link is dated but maybe having the relevant documents:

  • How to set up backup Time Machine with MacBook?

    Hello community:

    I wonder what is the best way to configure a Time Machine backup with a new MacBook.

    Because the device has only a USB port that is also used to load, I don't really feel comfortable that I can only backup wile, the MacBook is on battery. That doesn't seem fair.

    One possibility would be to use the adapter USB C AV that she can continue to charge the MacBook while being a USB hard drive is connected. But I'm not a big fan of having to deal with three cards for a simple task like a backup.

    Apple promotes wireless with the MacBook. One possibility is to use a (rather expensive) Time Capsule or a NAS that takes care of Time Machine.

    There are now hard drives wireless market. Does anyone have experience with these?

    I'd be curious to know how you do it.

    Thank you!

    Ideal for keeping backups Time Machine 'behind the scenes', you want to use the solutions SIN or Time Capsule. You can also use a 802.11ac AirPort Extreme with a USB external HD as well.

    Don't forget the partial backups will occur at least once per hour after the first full backup is made to take full advantage of what offers Time Machine. Although the connection of an external disk directly to the MacBook would potentially offer the best performance of overall data transfer, it must be connected.

    Unfortunately, I have no experience with hard drives wireless so I can't help you there. Because they would have to connect to the same network of Wi - Fi as the MacBook, all backups would go first the wireless AP, then, on this disc. I can only imagine the performance of data transfer to be a little dismal at best.

  • How to recover or re - use a backup Time Machine disconnected?

    I had a hard drive will... "Brown" (overcooked SSD, don't know how it happened; "I think it's just a bad disk). Unfortunately, my Time Capsule (backup drive - this is not really a TC of Apple, if it matters) is also very picky. Well, I had a new SSD and cloned the old on SSD so I'm back in business on this effect, but in the process, I unplugged my wayward backup disk in Time Machine (as in, I accidentally said the temperamental player is NOT the source of archive TM). Is it possible to "bless" the backup of this wayward drive to retrieve archive it? I have access to all the files, and I recognize that I really need to get a new, reliable, drive; but in the meantime, is it possible to make the TM to accept the folder Backups.backupdb active as long as the backup plan "current", rather than simply to start with a new in this space?

    BTW, I use OS X 10.11.5. I followed the instructions to Time Machine: how to transfer backups from a current backup disk to a new backup drive - Apple Support, but am concerned about the fact that it is trying to create a new backup rather than press archives, I already. I probably missed in all care, is there a way to fix it?

    The answer might involve several steps.

    but I am concerned that it is trying to create a new backup rather than press archives

    It's still the right to go forward... Once you change the configuration of Time Machine... It will say that it will start a new backup, except if it finds an existing valid backup when it starts. If you have no other choice to the allow him to proceed... If you find it has created a new sparsebundle and started on... cancel the backup, and then try to inherit the old backup.

  • 'No available backup disk', Time Machine is not more Time Capsule

    I have a time Capsule 2 TB and it has been used by Time Machine for many months.

    A few days ago the Capsule detached from his power and today is now connected to the new.

    Time Machine reports the error "backup disc not available."

    Time Capsule lights are green, AirPort Utility is showing this device being lit also.

    Time Machine knows how much space is available on this unit. However, it is not able to use this device to register older backups or to create a new.

    I don't see this device in the Finder, although I couldn't see him there when everything is working well.

    Airport utility indicates an IP address for this device and I can ping.

    What to do now? Isn't it at least possible to mount to access the files on it?

    Hello sdrfliozuit76,

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

    I understand your message that you are not able to back up your Mac with Time Machine and the error "backup disc not available."

    To continue troubleshooting this situation, I recommend reading and working through the following article and its suggested steps.

  • Time Machine does not believe that a volume is identical to an exact volume in doubles with the same name

    • Had a player named ' external 1. »
    • He began to miss (I had another drive of the same manufacturer, and 'External 1' making the same noises as the other just before it failed).
    • Off time Machine
    • A got a new drive and formatted, calling it "new external 1".
    • All "external 1" copied on 'new external 1 "'.
    • Not mounted 'External 1' and threw it in a box that I keep for hardware failures
    • Renamed 'New external 1' on «external 1"»
    • Time Machine running and went to preferences. In the list of things to exclude the back - ups has been 'External 1.'
    • Removed '1 external' in the list of exclusions (highlighted his name and press the sign less)
    • Checked and found that "external 1" was still on the list of things to exclude
    • Repeated several times, but I couldn't go down the list

    Somehow Time Machine does not believe that the new "external 1" is the same as the first (who has done again to the top without any problems)

    What can I do to get the time Machine no no keep 'External 1' permanently on its exclusion list and the addresses as the same drive as the one I replaced?

    Furthermore, if I rename "External 1" to "New external 1", Time Machine will save it. But I can not just keep the "new external 1" name for reasons of scripts, etc..

  • my time machine just to complete a backup, but it is not listed?

    I have three macs backed up on a time machine. The mac, I want to migrate was on the list, but I made a new backup to get the latest version. Now that it's over, it is not on the news on the time machine. No idea where it went? It drives me crazy.

    Your question is unclear.

    I have three macs backed up on a time machine.

    You mean a Time Capsule? They are backed up by Time Machine on every Mac.

    The mac, I want to migrate was on the list, but I made a new backup to get the latest version.

    Mac that you want to migrate from appeared in the Finder with a sparsebundle? It's still there... Have you opened it manually and check the dates?

    Now that it's over, it is not on the news on the time machine

    Sorry now it gets too complicated... did you really mean Time Machine here?

    If the Time Machine works normally... hourly backup you would not need to do anything special, so I'm lost exactly what you're doing different.

    No idea where it went? It drives me crazy.

    Me too.. I don't know where he's been... because I don't know what that means, or it you are talking about.

    Missing the sparsebundle to the backup?

    It is simply not enough the last backup date?

    Backup details will be in the paper... you can go through it and find out what happened.

    If you are migrating to a new computer before get rid you of this computer... Just use migration between the method of computers... not the method of TM. Transfer works very well... better even... If you connect two computers together through ethernet (love at first sight would be fantabulous)... and transfer on the standard gigabit network. If your method of backup fails for some reason any.

    But there are as many reasons for the failure of TM is not easy to understand.

    Use a work around if it is important to do this via the backup instead of direct.

    for example... a USB plug into the computer and use it as the target for backup... TM has done well above the local level as network drives.

    You can also create a clone bootable disk USB using Carbon Copy Cloner who is free to use for one month.

    I have an IMac with time machine and time capsule. If I buy a large external hard drive can back up all my Lightroom Info but also everything else to go to time machine, & that it saves on hard drive new, after he made a backup to time capsule?  This way, I would have two backups.

    Hi marinersr,

    I'm not sure the backup machine capsule/time, but according to me, that it backs up all data on your hard drive.

    Yes, you can back up the Lightroom catalog on the hard disk external.

    You can set the time of the backup under the catalog settings > backup > he would invite to the backup, when you exit Lightroom > click on select next to the location and specify the location as your new hard drive.

    If you want images of both original backup, you can configure to create a second copy of the images on your external drive during import.

    Kind regards
