New drive time machine

My time machine drive seems to be failing with many messages that the backup failed.  I was able to restart the backup process, but nothing works now.  I'm ready to make a new record.  I know I'll lose all my recent backups.

Where is good place to buy a new drive time machine?  1 TB would be perfect.

When I get a new drive, how I set up?

Where is good place to buy a new drive time machine?

Apple, Best Buy, Newegg, Amazon, etc.

When I get a new drive, how I set up?

Use disk utility to format the drive as Mac OS extended (journaled) and use the GUID partition table. Then, go to system-> Time Machine Preferences to select the disc.

  • New iMac, Time Machine backup

    I'm moving to a new iMac. On the new iMac, I can't use the Time Machine backup of old Mac. I "removed" the time of the old iMac Machine. Every time I try a backup on the new iMac, I get a "backup failed" the Time Machine backup is already in use. »

    He is a former...

    TM must control the sparsebundle to the backup... He must disassemble at the end of the backup cycle... and back at the beginning of the next cycle... I assume you are using a TC.

    The solution is to disassemble the TM properly... or to put it in simple terms... Restart the TC.

    I highly recommend not to inherit the old backup... but start a new... If the drive is not large enough we can make suggestions on get more space or recovering from it.

  • External hard drive - Time Machine

    Hello.  I've been using Time Machine to backup my Mac Book Air on an external hard drive.  I have the latest OS - El Capitan 10.11.  Last night, I had to wipe my hard drive clean due to a third-party program of non-working that prevented me to connect to the network from my job.  I reinstalled the program today and I was able to enter the network from my job, but I am unable to restore all backups of my external hard drive on my laptop.  Time Machine does not give me the option to view all the backups that I know are there, although I can see the backups when I use Finder to view the external player.  I don't want to do a full restore, because I don't want to restore the third-party program of non-working.  I'm mainly interested in restoring my personal files and iPhoto iMovie.  Help, please!

    It is clear to me, what is the problem, but I bet the answer is here:

  • 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.

  • My external hard drive (Time Machine) has not been saved for a month.

    A month ago I left town for a week. After coming back, I noticed my icon time machine backup constantly Menu bar, but I paid no attention until three days when he tried to save in vain, I noticed. I tried to disconnect and reconnect my external hard drive, but it still does not work. Nothing has really changed any other times where I was out of town and time machines worked perfectly well. The only thought I have, which could prevent the machine from time to work, is that I've been reluctant to do the software update. I heard terrible things about the captain, especially when it comes to iPhoto, and iPhoto is my main thing on my computer... so I had voluntarily decided to not update. Do you think that this is what is causing the problem? Thank you very much.

    You him have not said if you did all troubleshooting. Tell us what troubleshooting have you tried, and then we can give you an idea.

    Furthermore, El Capitan is very stable. However, you should not pass until your system is stable.

  • FCP 7 will reinstall on a new HD Time Machine backup of FCP7? Running OS laptop computer MacBkPro 10.8.5,

    Don't charge FCP7 NOT on the hard drive of the TImeMachine backup FCP7 app? Are the original install discs necessary? Necessary to reload the apps on a new HD, MacBkPro OS 10.8.5 and FCP7, DVD Studio Pro 4 and the compressor would not open. Please notify. Thank you.

    I think the answer is maybe. I would say that it will almost certainly not install backup in the Finder. But it may possibly install if you use restore to TM.

    Good luck.

  • I'm using Time Machine (1 TB), works very well, but because full starting to delete previous backups. Can I add another (LaCie 1 TB) HARD disk for backups? If so, how to proceed. Thank you!

    I'm using Time Machine (1 TB), works very well, but because full starting to delete previous backups. Can I add another (LaCie 1 TB) HARD disk for backups? If so, how to proceed. Thank you!

    You can add another drive to accept backups Time Machine... assuming it is correctly formatted for Mac to Mac OS extended (journaled), but things are not exactly "continue."

    You have not indicated if you intend to add the player to the USB port on the Time Capsule, or connect directly to your computer using USB or FireWire connections. Or the other method works, with the option to connect directly to the computer being the faster connection.

    Once the disc is added, you would go in Time Machine preferences (click the "clock" at the top of the screen on your Mac) to add the disk for Time Machine backups and delete the old Time Capsule disk, since backups will go is no longer this destination.

    Since you have a new drive, Time Machine will do a new full backup of your Mac and then go forward with incremental backups.

  • 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:

  • PSE 8 fails to run on the new drive hard iMac after Time Machine backup

    I had to have my iMac drive replaced the week last in the replacement of the Apple program. After installing the new drive, I restored the whole Machine on the new drive Time backup. Most things work perfectly, but I get an error message when I try to run PSE 8. The error is 150:30 of error indicating "license has stopped working". I tried a number of things to correct this as described in http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/error-licensing-stopped-mac-os.html, but found that most of the FlexNet referring to article data does not exist on my machine, so I am unable to complete the recommended steps (I did the hidden files visible). Also the Flexnet files do not appear on the backup volume. When I try to reload the software with the original disks I have just the player to make some noise and then eject it. All the other CD/DVD to work as usual. Very welcome ideas

    Download PSE 8 on trial download site and use your current serial number to activate it:

  • My Time Machine is full. Should I keep it plugged in and turned on even if I switch to another external hard drive for Time Machine backups?

    My external hard drive, Time Machine is full. Should I keep plugged in m and, even if I switch to another external hard drive to keep backups with TimeMachine?

    There is no need to keep two connected external drives. Instead, I suggest you to buy a bigger external hard drive and transfer the backups that you want from the old to the new external drive, so you can use the old external drive for other purposes-> Time Machine: how to transfer backups from a current backup disk to a new backup drive - Apple Support

  • Adding 2nd drive for Time Machine

    I have an IMac with a 3 TB drive and a 4 TB laCie drive Thunderbolt used for Time Machine. I get the message that the Time Machine disk is full. I can daisy chain a second LaCie and recognized it as an add-on to Disk Time Machine?

    Not unless your create a JBOD RAID array. You can * another player and change Time Machine backup on this drive. If the player has not been used for a backup Time Machine, then Time Machine will start a new backup.

    Note that you have to create the JBOD or RAID Stripe it would remove all files on both drives before you create the table. Thus, when selected for the drive Time Machine you will be a new backup.

    About alert TM "Backup Drive is full"

    TM only deletes older files if they have been removed from the source and when TM needs space on the backup to a new incremental backup drive. Time Machine "Jules Destrooper" its backups. over 24 hours, old backups, except the first of the day; These "dailies", old more 30-day backups, except the first day of the week. The weeklies are kept as long as there is room.

    So, how long a backup rest file depends on how long it was on your Mac before being deleted, assuming that you do at least one backup per day. If she was there for less than 24 hours, it will be maintained for at least a month. If she was there at least a week, it will be maintained as long as there is room.

    Note that, on a Time Capsule, the sparsebundle grows in size as needed, but not descended. View of the user of the TC so it seems that no space was released, although there may be space in the sparsebundle.

    Once TM has found that it cannot free enough space for new backup it reports the disk is full. You can erase the backup disk and start your backup or replace the disc with a larger drive.
