• GUID or not for use with time machine

  I am about to format a new external hard drive to save the backups and other things. On the road I can use for Time Machine, but not now. I wonder whether or not to use setting GUID in the form for the reader, because it will allow me to make a disc bootable option. Is there a reason NOT to use the GUID + OS X extended journaled on any drive that you reformat? (I ask because it is an option. A few posts on this site I get the idea that unless I want a windows or linux on readable disk, which I did not, GUID is the way to go. I don't know if I chose actually on another X - HD I got recently and am using for backups TM. I don't know, because I tried to make a bootable partition / clone and was not able to boot from this partition.)

  Secondly, I think to partition the hard drive into two GB 1 pieces in case I want to use 1 semester for backups online TM subsequently and so keep those separated from other files. Is it advisable or not? (One of the advantages are the possibility to delete backups TM: you just reformat the partition where they live.)

  I could use the GUID for a partition and not on the other or just for the two (it seems that the GUID is the recommended way to get Mac products). *

  Thanks in advance.

  * Assume that you use a GUID. Is there a problem with the help of a hard drive without formatting?

  Since you're using ONLY this disc with your Mac, then GUID partition map and HFS + filesystem (OS X Extended (journaled)) to a volume of Time Machine

  * Assume that you use a GUID. Is there a problem with the help of a hard drive without formatting?

  Why do bad for yourself.

  It is very good.  In addition to El Capitan OS X will be ONE partition a disk GUID, it's another reason for the use of the GUID.

  NOTE: If you want to put other files on this disk, will you of have saved them in another location.  And all THE data that you care, or would have cost a lot of time to recreate should be use 3-2-1. backup policy.

• Incompatibility of CC and Apple Time Machine for backup of the system?

  I was given this information by a Support person above Adobe technique by CAT yesterday.  The technical support I received was well below the Adobe standards.

  The question of Time Machine was just submitted to our Apple dealer and consultant for advice.  Time Machine has been implemented on my system by Apple technology in 2012 without problems.

  The Adobe Tech ID:24765035 person changed my investigation and remove the creative cloud of my computer without my request.

  I've been subscribed to the plan of CC photography for only 18 months, but am concerned about problems / questions like this.

  I would much appreciate your help.

  Thank you!

  I don't know what your question, but it may (or may not) be useful:

  system restore time-machine and windows both seem to cause a lot of problems with adobe products.

  Once this happens, the only solution is (AFAIK) to uninstall all the programs of issues (i.e., full suite/version), specific to the use of the Adobe Creative Cloud cleaning tool to solve installation problems , then reinstall.

  to reinstall the product cc, install the application of cc, Download Adobe Creative Cloud apps desktop | CC free trial Adobe and use the desktop application to install your programs of cc.

• 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.

• I could install a copy of Windows (via Boot Camp) on my external drive for Time Machine without erasing my backups?

  I want to use Windows 10 (for games) on my 2013 MacBook Air (13 ", 128GB flash, 1.3 GHz Intel i5, 4 GB of RAM), but I want to install it on my external hard drive because I am almost out of space SSD (34 GB remaining), and I know how large windows is. I have an external 1 TB harddrive that I use for my backups Time Machine, and I was wondering if I could transfer my copy of Windows hard disk external and implemented via Boot Camp. Is there a way to partition my drive so that my backup and Windows can both be there? And is there a way to trick Windows in race (start) from the external hard drive?

  Lol as the second partition on the boot volume. None of the other partitions will be allowed thereafter.

• How to recover the Time Machine keychain

  I had all sorts of problems with OS 10.11. So I deleted and reinstalled a 'clean' version I was able to retrieve several files of my time machine, but can't seem to get something on the old Keychain data, in particular, the passwords of a previous backup time Machine. In addition, I think that Apple has hidden the user/library, so I can't find it on Time Machine.  I had seen other assignments with regard to this topic, but I think that the most recent is 2013/14.

  Maybe I misunderstood what Time Machine is supposed to do?

  If I have to, I wouldn't mind duty copy every password and paste in websites I need to access.

  Is this even possible or do I have to go to each site and request a new password?

  Thank you

  Three ways to make the House/library folder Visible

  A. this method will make the folder visible permanently. Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder, and paste the following at the command prompt:

  chflags nohidden ~/Library

  Press RETURN.

  B. click on the desktop, press the Option (⌥) key, select library in the Finder menu go.

  C. go to the folder in the Finder menu select go. Paste the following text in the path field:

  ~/Library

  Click the OK button.

  There is more than a bunch of file on the computer. The major is a key ring, located in the folder/Home/Library folder. The second keychains folder is located in the folder /Library/ to the root of your hard drive. Both should be in your Time Machine backup, if you did a full backup of the system. To help you recover these please see FAQ Time Machine of Pondini for help with Time Machine. It is a vast site with almost everything that you need for using Time Machine. You will not find a better resource for Time Machine in one place. Due to the disappearance of James Pondini is the site is no longer updated. Therefore, some information may be somewhat outdated. But you will find the method to restore a single file or a folder from a Time Machine backup on his site.

• Time Machine hooked up / slow down

  I use a clean install of the OS X 10.11.2 leave a USB boot. Not an upgrade from an earlier version. I had used a NAS for the TM backup without incident so far. Since the machine is new, I started a complete backup of the TM. I noticed it seems to be suspended after about 430 GB. I deleted the sparsebundle to the NAS and started a new backup yesterday afternoon. My iMac is set to the computer keeping up when the screen is off. More internal SSD of the iMac, I have a USB 3.0 external hard drive connected with the added data, which I suppose is included in the TM backup. Preferences/Time Machine is showing "Backing up 431.55 1.51 to Go" and «Calculating time remaining...» "The entries of two console log I could find related to this are:

  Interestingly, I was not able to find a log entry on the beginning of the TM backup.

  Little Snitch provides very low flow to the SIN of 256 MB in the last hour. It was much higher when he started the backup yesterday. The network is 1 Gbps.

  I noticed saving energy/system preferences had ' put to sleep when possible, hard drives "checked. "Enable the NAP" is also checked.

  Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem?

  Thank you.

  A device third-party network attached storage (NAS) or a router is unsuitable for use with Time Machine, especially if it's your only backup. I know that's not what you want to hear. I know that Time Machine accepts the device as a backup destination. I know that the manufacturer says the device will work with Time Machine, and I also know that it usually seems to work. Except when you are trying to restore and find that you can't.

  Apple has published a specification for network devices that works with Time Machine. No third party provider, AFAIK, does meet this specification. They all use the application of Netatalk incomplete, obsolete Apple Filing Protocol.

  Apple does not endorse any device third-party network for use with Time Machine. See this support article.

  Network backup, use as destination an Apple Time Capsule or an external storage device connected to another Mac or a 802.11ac AirPort base station. Only 802.11ac base stations support time Machine, not older model.

  Otherwise, use Time Machine at all. There are other ways to save, although none of them are nowhere near as effective or as well integrated with OS X. I don't have a specific recommendation.

  If you are determined to continue to use the device with Time Machine, your only remedy for any resulting problem is the manufacturer (who will blame Apple, neither you nor anyone else but herself.)

• Time Machine restore problems

  Me again... still to try to recover my drive hard because I tried to make the Boot Camp.

  In preparation for boot from the external drive, I had a cool time machine backup of the system. The system was Captain El.

  When I started pressing cmd + R to choose the way to go, I entered the utilities disk and tried to format/erase the existing partitions so that one new partition could be created, and then I use boot camp to install windows again.

  Somehow after I did that and came back to restore options the system reported it no were not available to boot from the boot floppies and asked me to tie a boot disk. Having no other than the old drive boot disk that I had replaced out of the computer when he was a Maverick, I used as a startup disk and go to revive the position and where I chose what to do.

  When I choose now to restore from the external drive that has my time backup machine El captain on this program trying to install for a bit, and then he told me that ' year error occurred during the addition of a system of recovery on the destination disk. It then asks me to restart to get rid of the problem, and of course the problem won't go away.

  If I choose to reset the computer he'll want to maverick. I agree with going back that far and punting again and I'll probably have to do this because it appears that I have no other choice. I hope that I can install Maverick and then restore my El Captain off the external drive.

  Hello Farzad_K,

  Thanks for asking for help with Time Machine here in Apple Support communities. I am pleased to offer you things to check this.

  Since your Mac is fairly new, I recommend first start in recovery of the Internet. Here is the article on this subject: on Mac OS recovery. I know it says it's the Sierra, but the steps are the same for El Capitan. Use the second set of instructions for the recovery of the Internet with the keys: command ⌘ ⌥ (alt) Option and the letter R.

  For this with the drive installed that you want to install OS X El Capitan to. If you have changed to the older readers with the Mavericks, switch back, and then run the recovery of the Internet. This will fix your hard drive and then allows you to install the operating system from Apple servers. Then you can restore the backup, or try to run a Migration Wizard using this help article: move your content to a new Mac.

  Thanks again and relax your day wonderful.

• Impossible to 'create' Time Machine backup service

  I have Mac OS x Server v 5.1.7 running on a Mac mini (2.7 Ghz core i7, 8 GB RAM, mid-2011)) with OSX El Captain (10.11.6).

  When I try to add a folder to use as the destination for my backups Time Machine, the button 'create' on the next screen does nothing!

  

  How can I diagnose what is the error (if any?) and how can I work around this?

  OK, I've been searching and I found everything about TIME MACHINE on these forums, but my question is still not answered.  My suspicion for why my attempt is a failure is due to the fact that the drive mounted by the mac mini is formatted with NTFS and mounted using Tuxera NTFS for Mac. How can I confirm this? If it is true, is it documented for OSX Server Anywhere? Why is there not an error message or something to help me?

• Questions of Time Machine

  I have a MacBookPro Retina Display 2012, running OS X 10.11.6.

  I tried to use Time Machine to back up this system (a single) on TWO external drives.  Lately, I am having some problems.  In other words, when I try to restore, or even to find a file, I get the erratic results.  For example, earlier today, I selected a file I have to restore a previous version on my system, then entered in Time Machine.  Alas, after 'today,' Time Machine seems to see NO file in this directory, although as the graph moves in time, I'LL see quick flashes of the text, which means that the files are there...   It gets weirder, but before we get too deep, thought I would ask this:

  Time Machine CAN store up to TWO external drives?  If the answer is no, then I probably have the answer.

  Thoughts?  (and thanks)

  Fred

  Fred,

  I'll assume you're is not at the same time on two external drives, but rather a back up to a disk which is then disconnected and replaced by another reader for use with Time Machine.

  While I'm not personally Time machine running with two external drives, I know people who did this. The danger is that it can become confusing for the user, and I'm sure you want to make sure that each volume names are distinct in order to keep track from backup is which.

• The airPort Extreme (2007) and Time Machine

  Hi all

  I read the info "how to ask a good question" and apparently you need details. I'll try and be concise but informative with my problem. It has been a long journey to get to where I am, but hopefully, with a little help from this amazing community, I can get to my destination.

  Task

  To produce a backup solution Time Machine for the family spending as little money as possible and using the BRIC and broc, I already have.

  Equipment available

  I have a House with some ethernet cables for most rooms that through switches to allow a variety of, most entertainment devices to communicate. It is:

  1 x NAS/Media (ReadyNAS Duo v2) server,

  2 x TV (Samsung),

  2 x TEU (Beyonwiz),

  2 x Apple TV (a 2 nd generation the other is the latest version)

  2 x DVD players,

  1 x iMac.

  2 x 8-port switches,

  1 x 16 switch ports,

  1 x AirPort Extreme (2007).

  1 x Airport Express (age unknown but older than the extreme)

  1 x Fritz! Box 7490 Modem/Router

  Courses in place

  All the associated TV stuff are connected in 2 rooms through ethernet via switch 2 x 8 ports switch 16 central port and then to the Fritz! modem/router box.

  There are also all the usual WiFi going on with mobile phones, iPads and laptops.

  Remarkably, it seems just to work!

  However, I want to add some backup data on our computers. I tried to do by using the ReadyNAS as it is supposed to support Time Machine, but I can't it to appear as a backup destination. So, I thought, as I have AirPort Extreme, I add it to the network and attach a USB HDD for Time Machine since it is supposed to be easy. However, I've been home for hours and cannot make the HARD disk appear in system preferences/Time Machine.

  I plugged the Airport Extreme in one of the switches 8 port said to create a wireless network with the same details as the Fritz! The box according to another article of the support (Airport Extreme wired AND expand network - need of entry). Airport utility shows me Wi-wired connections and seems to work.

  I look at the AirPort Extreme disks tab and can see the attached USB drive here. However, it does not appear as a choice of drives available for backup in Time Machine preferences. I tried 2 different discs with the same result.

  The Question (finally)

  How can I get Time Machine preferences to show the USB disk attached to AirPort Extreme as a valid choice for backups? If anyone can give me a little help in the right direction, I would be very grateful.

  Thank you for reading this,

  Grant

  Unfortunately, the key here is that the version of AirPort Extreme you have does not officially support Time Machine backups on a drive to the USB port of the device.

  The only version of the AirPort Extreme, which will officially support Time Machine backups on a drive in the USB port on the airport is the 802.11ac current version that looks like a "tower". Older versions of 'flat and square' of the AirPort Extreme don't support Time machine with a USB drive attached.

  To check, please see "Time Machine in charge of USB drives" in this Apple support document... AirPort base stations: discs on USB - Support Apple

  Support for time Machine to USB drives

  OS X Time Machine supports compatible USB drives encrypted, related to the time Capsule (802.11n and 802.11ac) AirPort and AirPort Extreme (802.11ac).

  Given that the average life of most wireless routers lasts about 5 years, and your AirPort Extreme seems to be about 9, your AirPort Extreme did very well for you... much better than the average. It might be time to start thinking about a replacement who will be responsible for backups Time Machine... either a time Capsule (i.e. an AirPort Extreme with a built-in hard drive) or another AirPort Extreme.

• Can't resize external backup Time Machine in the hard disk partition

  I have a Seagate Expansion to drive 3 that I use for storing files as well and Time Machine. Initially when I set up the drive, I allocated 350GB for the partition that I use with Time Machine.

  I use a 256GB MacBook Pro and Time Machine is now advising me constantly backup capsule is short of space. I have 2 questions:

  1. Disk utility does not allow me to resize the partition of Time Machine (I can only reduce the size using resize controls). Also, I can't delete the partition, because the minutes signed is grayed out (see screenshot) - However, I am able to erase this partition. What can I do to resize (and expand) this partition, or delete it and create a larger partition for use with Time Machine?
  2. What is the best size to send to the Time Machine partition in order to keep my Mac saved 256 GB?

  Thanks in advance!

  A drive that is mounted or shared may present as "Busy" that could prevent resizing.

  Try to disassemble the disc (with the assembly/disassembly button in disk utility) and see if it works better. Then mount it again before leaving the disk utility, or do a reboot to mount again.

• I keep El Capitan, but Food Lion of Time Machine on a new partition on HDD. Is this possible?

  I run a Macbook Pro in 2011. I recently updated my OS from the Lion to El Capitan.

  Unfortunately, a major program I need to use is not compatible with the new OS X 10.11.

  Fortunately I made when I was still on 10.7, a time Machine backup before the update.

  I think to partition my internal drive to keep El Capitan, but also restore Lion of my Time Machine backup on the new partition. This way I can continue to use the program, I need by starting the Lion of the second partition.

  Is this feasible? If so, how can I restore Lion of Time Machine after partitioning my drive?

  Thanks in advance. Any help is very appreciated.

  Yes, but only if your computer can boot from a system of Lion. With regard to the full system restore using Time Machine: Please consult the FAQ of Time Machine of Pondini for help with Time Machine. It is a vast site with almost everything that you need for using Time Machine. You will not find a better resource for Time Machine in one place.
