• Could not open any project or external drive backup files

  Hello world

  The way I got things set up, is that my final cut pro project has been saved on the external drive. Whenever I open it, it picks up from the external hard drive. Recently, I had a power outage that stopped my external drive and crashed my FCP X. When I turned things on, I kept getting an error that the FCP closes unexpectedly. I have the option to ignore or to reopen. I tried to open my backups, but I get the same error. Sometimes he was telling me to save it to the internal drive and it would actually open, but I get a lot of lack of links to files. My mac doesn't have a lot of space, so I need to be stored on the external hard drive.

  I thought that maybe it's my sharing and permissions of the drive in the menu get info, then I have everything given access, but does not work. I tried trashing the preference of the FCP, but that did not work.

  I have version 10.2.3 and on Mac OSX 10.11.6 El Capitan

  Could someone help me please? I don't know what else to do.

• Recovering data from a Time Machine to an external drive backup

  How to recover data from a backup Time Machine to an external drive?

  I use Time Machine to back up data (photos, videos) on an external drive (drive A) to another external drive (drive/B) separate that I use for Time Machine backups. After performing a backup, the external drive (drive A) appears in TimeMachine and can I recover files that are on the external drive (A) just as I can for the files that are found on the internal hard drive.

  I need to know what to do if I drop my external drive (drive A) completely and you want to recover the Time Machine backup on a new replacement drive?  When I disconnect my external drive (A) and enter the Time Machine, I don't find a way to access the files to recover.  Still... I know they are there!

  Using the Time Machine application in your Applications folder. Please visit Time Machine FAQ of Pondini for using Time Machine.

• WD external drive is not detected by the Windows backup program

  Original title: with a WD external drive backup program

  I have a WD My Book Essential 320 GB external drive. The Windows backup program does not recognize the drive... The drive IS recognized on my computer and I can access and transfer and copy and paste to it without problem. It's just the backup program which does not. No error message or anything. Only, it does not recognize the drive when I get to the destination area. I tried to update the drivers. The WD support site has Backup downloads for OTHER external drives, but not this one. Their Web site says to contact Microsoft support. Any suggestions?

  Hey mrlray,

  Here's what you can do.

  Perform the clean boot

  Backup process a lot sometimes, this problem is provided by third party in conflict with windows software. See if this is the case here by putting your boot system before you perform the backup.

• Looking for photos in WD backup external drive

  I backed up an iMac to an external drive WD using Machine of Tme. I would like to download some of these pictures of the WD for a Mac Book Air.

  However when I click the iPhoto library icon in the image on the WD backup file, it says that there are no photos to import.

  Where are the drive are the saved photos?

  This isn't how you get to the elements in a Time Machine backup. See the following articles:

• I have an ERROR CODE 36 during the backup of my library of PHOTOS from one external drive to another. What is the best way to solve this problem? Also, what is someone used 'dot_clean '?

  I have a MacBook Pro that is primarily used for PHOTOS and use 2 external drives 1 for holding my PHOTO library and one for the back up. I have about 1 TB of data of photos. My back ups have worked perfectly since the establishment more than 12 months ago. However, I just got a CODE of ERROR - 36 problem which prevents the backup after that about 700 GB of data has been processed. I need to find a solution and I was wondering if anyone can advise me on that. I saw something called "dot_clean" on the web and I was wondering if it is safe to consider option.

  If the Photos or iPhoto is running, exit it and try the backup again.

• How to set my time capsule from apple for my external hard drive backup?

  I installed a Time Capsule from Apple on my network.  It seems to work very well.  I need to use it to back up my external drive (if possible)

  Can someone give me directions?

  Thank you

  Jean S

  If you use Time Machine, open the system preferences pane, click Options, and remove the external drive from the exclusion list. It is not possible for all formats of volume.

  If you use a different backup product, see its documentation.

• Backup hard drives internal and external to separate the partitions on an external drive of a second... ?

  I want to back up an internal hard drive (let's call it 'A') and (B) external drive using Time Machine. Both are 1 TB in size, so I bought a 2 TB external drive and created two partitions (C and D) on this subject, only to receive each backup. So:

  A = internal hard drive

  B = external drive (for "overflow" files)

  C = partition to external drive for backups of A

  D = partition to external drive for backups of B

  My question is, can I set up Time Machine so that A back up C, every time the 2 TB drive is connected, and B backup up to D whenever the two external drives are connected? I thought it would be possible, but at the opening of the Time Machine preferences and selecting D for the first time I get a message saying:

  "You want to stop backup up to 'C' and use"D"instead or back up at the same time?

  If you use the two, Time Machine will take turns backup up to "C" and "D". »

  I wonder if it would just be easier to return to a single partition on the hard disk of 2 TB and have the time machine to perform a backup of everything, that is, both A and B?

  Last question: I'm doing this to improve Yosemite to El Capitan. the operating system affect what I'm trying to get time Machine to do?

  Thank you!

  I have a non-partitioned device TM backup of your data and your OS disk at once

  If in case you partition and drive "B" needs more than what is on the partition and drive 'A' don't you avoid warning.

  update of the OS is fine, as it will give an output back to a previous TM operating system where you need it, but it is compatible across versions.

• Time machine backup on my external drive...

  Hello

  I am doing this for the first time so I need some help here please.

  I have a 5 years, 250 GB Mac Book Pro running on Mac OS X 10.6.8.  I have NEVER done a Time Machine backup first.

  I have an external hard drive 1 TB, which has about 200 GB of data backed up from my Mac Book pro and other files.

  I want to upgrade to El Capitan and want to back up my book ALL of the mac pro.

  My question is, is the external drive with about 750 GB of sufficiently available to back up my entire Mac Book pro...?  Looks like it should be. The IMPORTANT question is, somehow will it delete my existing files in my external drive...? How can I make sure that this does not happen...?

  Separately, I have 2 accounts on my Mac Book Pro, when I back up my laptop using Time Machine, goes up two accounts...? ... Should I be logged into my main account so it backs up two accounts...? How that will work in a restaurant...?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  Your best bet would be to clone your entire drive to another Partition on the hard drive, external, but repartitioning is not without risk.

  TM should work but is not ideal. TM backs up only the account your as I recall.

  Everything that you be sure to secure boot, now hold SHIFT key on startup to repair the startup disk, and then use Utilityto repair disk external hard disk.

• Time Machine backup to external drive connected to the TimeCapsule

  I have a 3 TB TimeCapsule, that contains the my iMac TimeMachine backup. So far so good.

  Now, I would like to connect an external drive to the TimeCapsule via the USB port to allow access to this drive of my iMac as well as other computers on my network. I would like to than the external to include in my Time Machine backup drive. Is it possible - by accepting that the backup of obviously only runs when the Mac is on? If this isn't the case, other methods of backup to an external drive, connected to the TimeCapsule, may be recommended?

  You can do it. Time Machine it will support up to a separate folder on your backup disk. Don't forget to remove it from the exclusions list in Time Machine preferences. I don't know if others cannot see the drive connected to your computer is turned off. They may be able to mount the drive on their computer as you do on yours. Try it because I could be wrong on this matter.

• Drive external drive to backup to time capsule

  I use my Time Capsule to back up my computer automatically, but I would also like to use as a backup to my external hard drive. How can I implement that? I tried dragging the files into the Capsule of time on the Finder and it does not allow me to do.

  Thanks in advance for the help!

  Any drive connected to your Mac can be included in the backup Time Machine.

  Go to the preferences of TM and remove the exclusion of an external drive... which will add to the backup.

  Alternatives are also good.

  I highly recommend to use Carbon Copy Cloner... which is $ 40

  You can copy and paste the files, but it is better to first create a folder on the TC.

  Don't drag the files in the root directory.

  Drag the files into the sparsebundle TM.

  Make sure you that you get TC drive in finder yourself... otherwise you ruin the backup TM.

• Time Machine stuck at "Preparing backup...". "for external drive

  Hello.  I recently upgraded to El Capitan of Lion - a terrible experience, but finally got it work.

  Anywho, today I tried to backup on Time Machine for the first time since the upgrade.  I left it at "Preparing backup...". "about four hours without change.  Then, I checked with the activity monitor essentially ~ 0 activity (< 1.0%="" cpu). ="" i="" then="" followed="" the="" instructions="" here:="">http://osxdaily.com/2014/03/31/time-machine-stuck-preparing-backup-mac-fix/, asking to delete the "inProgress" of the hard drive.)  I deleted the file from the Recycle Bin, restarted and still no luck.  I'm not sure of the "Spotlight indexing' - as I understand, I want to ensure is completed.  So I checked the status and progress is null and has been for over an hour.  (There are no blue in the status bar, just gray.)

  I then followed these instructions: problems of time machine of El Capitan by watching the Console application.  Here is an example of one of my tests:

  Uh, help?  Haha!  Thanks for reading.  Hope that someone has comments.  El Capitan has forced me to learn more about Mac than ever.  -My first upgrade!

  So, my guess is that your external drive is not happy.

  I suggest to run disk utility and see what it reports.

  This disk must be reformatted.

• Can I make a backup of my time on a second external drive capsule

  It is perhaps an exaggeration, but as I have a Seagate external drive, I thought it wise to make a second backup. Is there a procedure that I can set up to automatically duplicate what I save on my TC.

  I run a 27 inch mid 2011 iMac with the last OS of El Capitan. I use my Time capsule using the airport on 12 hours automatic backup.

  Can I make a backup of my time on a second external drive Capsule

  Yes, you can... but the procedure will not "auto".  Connect the hard drive to the USB port on the Time Capsule and use the Archives in the utility AirPort.

  

  This copies everything on the Time Capsule on the USB.

  Upside down... you have a copy of all of your backups on the Time Capsule. Downside... you must check manually... and... f there are problems with the backups on the Time Capsule, these same questions will be copied on the USB.

  IF... connect you the player to the USB port on the Time Capsule, rather using the manual function Archive... you don't have the opportunity to have Time Machine backup automatically at a time Capsule of time and the USB on the Time Capsule.  Time Machine automatically alternates backups from one disk to another.

  Even better, more reliable and much faster would be to connect the USB directly to your Mac and have Time Machine automatically backup the disk in addition to the time Capsule.

  There are other options of backup as well, but they would not be using Time Machine.
