• Time Machine do not hourly backups on WD My Book for Mac new

  My 1 TB time capsule was too small for the full backup so I just bought a 6 new to WD "My Book for Mac" and have now a new back up, but it won't backup time as usual. I am running OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 Can anyone who thinks that the reason for what I fear not having a reliable backup. The problem with the new hard drive external or is - a problem with EL Capitan?

  Hello Arnaud,.

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. It is my understanding that Time Machine was not back up as expected. I certainly understand how it is important to be able to back up your content. I'm happy to help you.

  There are several factors that could influence the automatic backup. Please follow the steps in the link below to fix this problem:

  If you cannot back up or restore your Mac with Time Machine

  In addition to these measures, hourly backups could be affected by your sleep Macs and power Nap settings, depending on which Mac you use. To ensure that your hourly backups are finished, set your Mac sleep to a longer period time. For testing purposes, try to set the duration of sleep at least 1 hour. You can do this in system preferences > energy saver.

  In addition, if you use a portable Mac, make sure that it is connected to power during the tests to see if hourly backups work. See the link below to view information on how Power Nap works and how it can affect Time Machine.

  How Power Nap works on your Mac

  Keep in mind, that Time Machine backs up only files that have changed since the last backup.

  Have an amazing day!

• My book for Mac "preparing backup".

  Hi all

  I've updated to Sierra this morning and since then my WD My Book for Mac has been slain in the backup of the preparation for about 10 hours. My backup before the upgrade went through without a problem. Is the amount of time the backup takes to be expected with the upgrade or it's just stuck in limbo?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello, Huss417!

  Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. Congrats on the update to Mac OS Sierra! It's a great new operating system. From your post, I'm seeing that you have problems with your Time Machine backup since the update, even though - he was slain on "Preparing" for a lot longer than expected. I know the importance of these backups and want absolutely to make your passes by. I'd be happy to help you!

  The following article will give you more information about what might happen.

• Online backup solution for Mac files?

  I'm All in with the Apple ecosystem.  I have iCloud, which shows how to save my photos (most important).  But now, what of my files?  So far, I was backup on external hard drive using Time Machine.  But I prefer that my backup not to be on a device that could burn (or other) being sometimes advanced with my MacBook Pro.

  I know there are services such as Carbonite, but I would be everything-Apple if possible.  I know I can drag files on my iCloud drive, but this isn't a real backup solution.

  Any advice?  Thanks for any help.

  You must decide if you want to save your programs or just files - I personally backup files since all my programs can be downloaded or resettled

  Here's a comparison

  Carbonite provides an option for Mac

• my mac is the display of the comment... No backups for 13 days.  Connect to a power outlet while your backup disk is available.

  My Mac is the display of the comment... No backups for 13 days.  Connect to a power outlet while your backup disk is available.  For my time Machine control, everything seems to be saved.

  Time Machine also creates temporary copies on your internal drive when the backup drive is not available. So you can see the 'temporary' backups on your internal drive.

  I recommend that you connect your external drive and your power adapter and let make a permanent copy - ones on your internal drive are subject to deletion if space is short.

  By now he may need to do a 'deep traversal' which can take some time.

• the backup of Microsoft Office for Mac to iCloud

  I can't save my documents from within Microsoft Office for Mac on my iMac in the iCloud?  Does anyone have a suggestion?    "HE."

  iCloud does not offer the ability to save a Mac computer. You can save an iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch to iCloud.

  If you have the Apple menu > System Preferences > iCloud > iCloud drive turned on, you should be able to save a document from the desktop to the folder of iCloud drive or drive movement documents previously saved to other folders to iCloud. You can go to Finder preferences > Sidebar (at the top of the preferences window) and put a checkmark in front of iCloud drive in this window that make it easier. Note that save or move the files to the folder of the iCloud drive will keep a copy on your local disk and synchronize in iCloud. It is not the same as having a backup because if you accidentally delete the local copy, the copy on iCloud is also deleted.

• Creating a backup for new 6s

  I needed a new 6 for personal use when my business is my current 6 s for work only. I backed up my new phone to my phone work on my Mac to save all my information, aps, etc that I have to delete my work phone aps personal, so I need now two different backups, but they are saved on the same device name.  How can I create a backup for my new phone, but all by keeping all the data?

  Each device that you are backing up to a computer via iTunes (or iCloud) will have a separate backup. It may be easier to tell apart them if you use a different name for each device in (on phones) settings > general > topic > name.

  You can check what backups that you have made to a computer via iTunes by clicking the iTunes Preferences and clicking on "Devices" in the top of the Preferences window. You can see all iCloud backups by (on your phone) going into settings > iCloud > storage > storage management.

• Firefox for Mac does not recognize a valid SSL certificate

  Firefox for Mac does not recognize the SSL certificate that is valid for this site, I got: https://www.georgeglazer.com. It gives a warning "not reliable." However, the Firefox for Windows does not give a warning. This happens even if I clear the cache and it happens in the Mavericks and OS of Yosemite. The certificate is up-to-date and with Comodo. Firefox for Mac is now the only browser producing these errors (v. 39, put updated) - Internet Explorer, Safari and Chrome are not. Our hosting provider has said it's probably a browser issue, perhaps having to do with intermediate certificates in Firefox being obsolete. I really hope you'll solve the problem, as it's annoying for us when we're going to do right by our customers and pay for the SSL certificate. I have attached a picture of the warning and the other from what you see on a PC: a pop-up that says it is a verified SSL certificate and gives details about the issuer, the period of validity, etc.

  COMODO should you sent a link to download the file 'bundle' containing the intermediate certificates. Who needs to go in the same directory as the certificate of your site. If you are using a control panel, your host can probably help with this process. And if you bought through them, shame on them for not taking care of this for you already!

• Page does not correctly in FF 18.0.1 for Mac, but it's on all

  Please visit this page. http://windhamtaxpayers.org/Windham/ On all 18.0.1 FF for Mac, the fine aligns sidebar, articles of blog style listed in the 3/4 left.

  But on mine, no matter what I do, the sidebar is all fuzzy!

  Can't do the theme files, as they look the same. It must be my browser. It looks good in Safari.

  What's wrong? If you don't see what I'm doing, I can take a screenshot.

  You can delete all stored data with a specific area through "Forget this Site" from the context menu of the history entry (see the history or the history sidebar) or via the subject: permissions page.

  With the help of "Forget this Site" will delete everything as bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions in this area, so be careful and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose so take note of these passwords and bookmarks.
  
  You can't recover from which "forget" unless you have a backup of the affected files.

  It has no lasting effect, so if come back you on such a 'forgotten' site, then the data of this Web site will be saved once more.

  It's really strange

  3.12 GB com.apple.WebKit.WebContent (4)

  which means that Safari has only a couple of open tabs, but it consumes 3 + GB of your memory.  There must be some very greedy Javascript running in one or more of these pages.  Here again, it's Snow Leopard, so this version of Safari can not create processes by web page, then you might have dozens of tabs open, which would explain 3 + GB of memory used by Safari.

  Avast is the likeliest suspect.

  I suspect things MacKeeper remains links a MacKeeper withdrawal (unless the abduction was recent, then it could be that something damaged MacKeeper).

  Mettle network stuff.  If it's hogging the network that can interfere with other network applications, such as Mail (I think I have more to get here, but I also think it should be mentioned).

  These are all red flags, that I can see.
