• Backup failed: lack of space on recovery drive D

  I want to remove old programs from the programs and features for backups will not fail. The problem is that I don't want to remove a program, I need. I looked at the size but some of the programs do not have the size, some do not have the 'last used date', some have not either information on the programme. What does that mean? How am I suppose to know which are ok to uninstall?

• I can restore time capsule backup to another computer that already has a user

  Looking for help, my laptop was stolen, thankfully I have a time capsule backup. I could buy a new laptop, but I was wondering if there is anyway I can just restore my backup on the laptop of my wife, or if that's too difficult/impossible.  Currently laptop my wife not a as user, so my question is could I myself set him up as an additional user and then use my backup time capsule of my laptop now flown to restore everything on your computer? Just a question because I don't think we need 2 notebooks more, so would be nice to not have to buy one additional laptop just to get my time capsule backup. Any help much appreciated.

  The Finder, choose utilities go to menu and use the Migration Wizard to restore.

• Time Machine backup fails because "there is not enough space on the «DiskStation «»

  My backups regular TimeMachine to DiskStation stopped working a few months ago.  I thought it was because I ran out of space but now I installed an extra 1 TB RAID and I always get this error message.

  Here is the chronology of events that led to the error message.

  16/01/10 23:09 - Backup started manually (1.47 TB TB 2.45 available):

  

  16/01/10 23:11 - preparation of backup... (1.47 TB TB 2.45 available)

  16/01/10 23:15 - "backup: zero KB of 63.8 MB, calculating time remaining..." »

  16/01/10 23:50 - now 2.3 63.8 MB MB, 16 hours left (I'm ready for bed).

  16/01/10 23:55-5 minutes later and it backed up 419 MB!

  16/01/11 00:55 - an hour later and it is up to 6.72 GB but the gas target increased to 7.39 GB (I went to bed)

  Here is the view viewfinder of the TimeMachine file that I am trying to backup (note, a lot of disk space):

  System details:

  -MacBook Pro 2013 with OS X 10.11.2

  -LAN WiFi Pace 2Wire998 router with DiskStation connected by Ethernet, MacBook Pro by WiFi

  -Synology DiskStation DS411slim with 4 x 2.5 "hard drives installed.

  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.)

• How to move a Time Capsule backup to a new hard drive

  I've been running Time Capsule on an external FireWire drive Yosemite 10.10.5 running on a MacPro to 2012. It will allow more to perform backups and disk utility fails to remove the disc. When I run the disk repair, either via the recovery disc or a USB flash drive, they are not able to repair the disc and gives me the message: "exit code is 8." The suggestion is to backup the drive and then wipe and restore. I tend to remove the hard drive because it is the second time this has happened; the first time I erased it and started the Time Machine backup everywhere with the same external drive.

  However, I am about to upgrade to El Capitan and certainly want the option to return to Yosemite if necessary.

  What should I do to transfer the contents of the hard drive damaged to a new drive and always make sure that my computer recognizes it as a backup Time Machine valid? I can clone it right on a new external hard drive?

  Thank you!

  Yes, it clones if the drive is still ok.

  On a MacPro, you have plenty of space for a real drive... or you can buy a USB key and just to make the clone.

  However, my recommendation is to download and run Carbon Copy Cloner. You get free trial use 1 month anyway. Clone startup current Mac to a USB drive or internal hard drive. And make sure it is bootable... that makes it simple to restore a computer to your old operating system running. TM cannot produce a clone bootable... nor can utility that can clone a drive but not to create a boot disk drive.

  Just keep the current firewire drive as that is the TM backup... I really doubt that you will get no improvement it cloning.

• Time capsule backup stopped

  I backup my 3 TB Time Capsule 2 MacBook Pro. Internet is fully accessible in all directions. I was support for 2 years on this unit. Now, one of them runs a little and stops with a message that the "backup failed" and other tracks just more than half, then it stops completely. Any help would be most appreciated. Is my defective Time Capsule after less than 2 years?

  On one of your Macs...

  Hold down the option key while clicking on the icon of "the clock" Time machine at the top of the screen

  Click on verify backups

  The process will take 10 to 60 minutes or more depending on the amount of data is stored in the back upward. You can do other things while the verification process is running, or just look at the amount of progress if you're bored and have nothing else to do.

  Note the results once the process is complete.

  Then, run the same control over the other Mac.

  Report on results for Mac.

• Time Machine backups fail

  I have a Time Capsule 2 TB 4th generation bracket place my 2013 21.5 in iMac running OS 10.11.3. For the two weeks have been a failure my time machine backups. A few nights ago, I was given the opportunity to create a new backup, which I tried to do. However, the new back-up has never been created - says still 'wait to first full backup"status on the menu bar. I am able to access the files on the Time Capsule that aren't in a backup file Time Machine and use Time Capsule as a router. When I enter the Time Machine on the iMac, it appears as if it has never been a comeback upward (which, of course, I guess). I tried to use the repair disk utility - I had to run on the Time Capsule, but it did not help.

  Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

  Looks like you receive a message that a few nights under what looked like this:

  

  It is probably the most frightening message that you never see when you use Time Machine, because it shows that your backups were corrupt. Time Machine will try to erase, and then create a new backup.  Unfortunately, sometimes Time Machine fails when it tries to do.

  The best thing you can do right now is to perform a deletion process of resetting the data on the Time Capsule disk to completely erase the disk for errors and try again another backup.  If you decide to try this, you must copy all other files you might have on the time Capsule to another disk for temporary storage... unless you already have other copies (you should, otherwise, you have no backups for files on the Time Capsule).

  Perform the zero... erase data, which will be probably 3-5 hours or so... should improve your chances of a good Time Machine backup when you restart the process... IF... the last problems were the result of software on the Time Capsule disk errors.

  IF... the time Capsule hard drive is physically damaged... which is a possibility... you need to replace the disk in the time Capsule hope forward again.

• Time Capsule backup suddenly stopped working

  I used my Air Port Time Capsule since July last year, without a hitch. Then all of a sudden today, he says: 'no back ups for 155 days' (!) and I get this message:

  "The backup drive is not available. Make sure that the backup disk is connected, or select a different backup disk. »

  It is connected. I can see it in the AirPort Utility. I see it in the Finder. I access it via the finder. I am at a total loss!

  (1) what on Earth is my all backups since July 2015?

  (2) how to operate again?

  (3) a way to ensure this NEVER happens again?

  Help, please!

  It is connected. I can see it in the AirPort Utility. I see it in the Finder. I access it via the finder. I am at a total loss!

  It's a little unusual to see full access to the rest of the computer and the inability to access by Time Machine.

  (1) what on Earth is my all backups since July 2015?

  They never happened.

  During your updates... things are lost and error messages are never toward the front of the screen even if I suspect that the log is full of them.

  (2) how to operate again?

  Reset complete TC... and I recommend you wipe it and start the new backup. See the section below... my standard how to correct the answer to the problem.

  (3) a way to ensure this NEVER happens again?

  Only a stupid person would make a promise, that it will NEVER happen.

  Thinking more broadly... I say to the people in these columns now ad nauseum... Use an alternative solution. Carbon Copy clone or Chronosync are good examples.

  They can be used alongside TM... but tend to be more reliable.

  He is also much better working on a local disk instead of a network... Although with a MBPr having to plug a USB stick in the car all the time would be a brake.

  Try to CCC. It's free for a month... If you find that it works for you purchase the license.

  Start from a factory reset. No files are lost on the drive hard in doing so.

  Universal factory reset

  Turning off the TC... That is, remove the power supply cord or the power at the wall outlet, wait 10 seconds... Hold the reset button... be nice... Turn on always even now in reset... and keep holding in for another 10 seconds. You may need assistance because it is difficult to hold in reset and power on. It will show the success quickly flashing led front. Release reset... and wait a few minutes for the TC to reset and return with the factory settings. If the front LED flashes quickly you missed and simply try again. The reset is quite fragile in these... Press the key while it is just click away and not more... I've seen people bend lever or even break. I use a toothpick as a tool.

  NB. None of your files on the hard drive of the TC are removed... This simply clears the settings of the router of the TC.

  The installer the TC.

  And then redo the configuration of the computer with the Mavericks - Yosemite - ElCapo. (MYELCAP)

  1. the use of very short names... NO APPLE RECOMMENDED names. Without the space and pure alphanumeric characters.

  for example TCgen5 for the base station and the name of the TCwifi wireless.

  If the problem is using wireless TC24ghz and TC5ghz with fixed channels as it also seems to help stop the nonsense. But it can be tried in the second round. IE, plan on a first and second series of changes to fix this... If all goes well... I note other steps can you tour2.

  2. use all passwords also consistent with 1. but maybe a little longer. IE 8 and 20 characters of mixed cases and numbers... no alphanumeric non-caracteres.

  3. If the TC is router, you can ignore this point. It is only a problem when the TC is bridged.

  If ensure that the TC is always the same IP address... you will need to do this on the main router using a dhcp reservation... or a bit more complex setup by using the static IP address in the TC. But it's important for deriving from intellectual property in all directions when MYELCAP do not remember his name for 5 min after a reboot done for poor network management.

  4. check that your share on the computer name does not change... Make sure that it is also in line with the above... short without space and pure alphanumeric... but this change will mess up your TM backup... so be prepared to make a new, full backup. Sorry... keep this one for the second round, if you want to avoid a new backup.

  5 attach the TC disc into the computer manually. (In your case, it seems not to be a problem... and I need to solve this problem, as El Capo behaves different).

  In Finder, go, connect to the server in the main menu,

  Type in SMB://192.168.0.254 (or whatever ip of TC is that you made static. It's a default router 10.0.1.1 and I encourage people to stick with it unless you know what you're doing).

  You can use the name... SMB://TCgen5.local where you replace TCgen5 with your name of TC... local is the default domain of the TC and does not change.

  However the names are not so easy as... the IP address nor reliable. They are not at least not in Yosemite. The field can also be a problem if you are not clogged or wireless directly to the Treasury Board.

  6. ensure that IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open network, wireless and Advanced preferences / TCP/IP... and the difficulty of IPv6. link-local only. Do the same for the ethernet if you use it.

  This one is important. The auto setting uses apple straightens always not good values.

  

  For computers updated once or twice since the major point of revisions... I think that a clean installation becomes almost a necessity.

  It is a lot more jiggery pokery, you can try, but the above is a good start... If you still find not reliable... don't be surprised.

  You may need to do more work on the computer itself. for example, to reset the NVRAM/PRAM/SMC... helped some people. In the end... A clean installation of the operating system is also useful if you update installed.

• Time Capsule backups stopped working

  I started successfully using airport Time Capsule to back up our 2 iMac and my Macbook Air in October.  My backups of my MBA have stopped working and I did not successfully back up from December 20.  Backup start and just stops part way through it, with the error message:

  Time Machine could not complete the backup of 'airport' Time Capsule.

  An error occurred when copying files. The problem may be temporary. If the problem persists, use disk utility to repair your backup disk.

  Last successful backup: 20 December 2015

  I tried to run the disk on my MBA utility and the TC backup space.  RAN in two places with success.

  There is a lot of room left on my TC - 2.06 to 3 TB are available.

  I'm on OS version 10.11.2 (that I have loaded 15 dec).

  It is also interesting to note that the backup of my MBA seems to progress very slowly, even though I have excellent wireless connectivity.

  Both of the iMac (the two 10.11.1 running) always execute backups successfully.

  My suspicion is that there is a problem with 10.11.2 backups, but I can't find anything online to suggest.  Any thoughts on what could be the cause of the problem and how to fix it?

  Above or upgrade to a different operating system change can certainly spoil Time Machine...

  I recommend that you try again. If the files are located in the old backup that you want to keep copy the sparsebundle to a different location, for example a USB stick plugged into your computer. Or you can make an archive of the TC to save all files. You will need a large USB plugged into the TC that holds all the files there. Archive is a utilitarian Airport.

  

  Then in the finder delete the existing TM backup and start a new.

  I would seriously think about using a third party backup... for example, Carbon Copy Cloner... you can download and test for free for a month... It is just more reliable.

• Failure of backup due lack of space

  Running Norton 360 and every time it comes to backup, that he can not due to the lack of space. Can I delete some of the data on my HP SimpleSave backup? If so how to do that?

  I found the problem late last night. The system was back up on my G drive rather SimpleSave drive H so, naturally, there is a lack of space!

  Problem fixed but thanks a lot for the quick response from you.

• Time Capsule backup not available without reboot disk

  I have the latest generation of time capsule, but my MBP cannot find the disc inside after restarting the device.  After a restart of the time Capsule the requested backup will take place without any problems, but if I ask another backup later, I again get an alert saying that the disk is not found, requiring another restart. This "solves" the problem, as the MBP can now find the disk and the backup takes place, but the whole point of Time Machine is supposed to be to provide Automatic backgroundbackups.  Any ideas?

  The problem is well known.

  Seen here all the time. Solutions are not so easy.

  We need to know the configuration of the entire network.

  This modem you have, make and model please?

  How is the TC connected and in what mode?

  Is the Mac directly connected to the CT or via the modem that works as gateway?

  Some screenshots of the configuration utility airport helps no end.

• Time Capsule backups of different networks?

  I have a Time Capsule that serves ONLY to expand my current network, but is also used for the backup of a single computer through Time Machine. If I take this time capsule to a new place, which has a different network I can configure it to join the new network and continue the backups Time Machine to a computer (which moves with it) without losing any old backups? If so, how can I say to join the network at the new place.

  Thank you

  Roger

  The time Capsule cannot 'join' a wireless provided third-party router, if that's what you're asking.

• Time capsule backup dedicated

  I'll put up a new Mac Pro and want to use Time Capsule as a wired dedicated backup device.  On my Mac, I have a 1 TB internal drive will be used only for the application and software work areas.  I have a 4 TB external drive, where all my user files reside.  I want to hardwire connect Time Capsule to my Mac and use it only to back up the drive internal.  I have a separate drive of 8 TB I'll use a program like ChronoSync to back up my drive of the 4 TB user.  I use one of the Ethernet ports on my Mac to connect to my home network.  I have an Ethernet port open on my Mac.  Can I use the Ethernet Mac port available and connect Time Capsule for the Mac as a dedicated backup device?

  The Capsule connects to your modem or modem router using a wired Ethernet cable connection. Connect the modem into the "O" on the Time Capsule WAN port and configure time Capsule to create a wireless network.

  If you don't need wireless, it can be turned off once the time Capsule has been implemented to work with your modem or router/modem.

  Your Mac can then go back to Ethernet connection time Capsule cable from the Mac to one of the three ports LAN <>- on the back of the time Capsule.  Don't forget to turn off the radio on the Mac to make sure that the backup will take place via the Ethernet connection.
