  afternoon, this seems to be a common problem - I came here looking for an answer as well. There is a smc / ram p reset fix floating MacOS Sierra - time machinestuck preparation backup on network devices. There is also an exclusion to spotlight some suggest work. I have tried both and neither worked for me, a lot more. I ended up clear time capsule. Airport utility > change > disks > erase disk. has immediately started a new backup and have not had a problem since.

• Time capsule will not recognize the backup from another mac

  Time machine will not recognize the backup from another mac

  Time Machine will never find "another" Mac backups unless you've been backup that 'different' Mac on the same Capsule you have there.

  So, we need more information and to try to understand what it is that you are trying to accomplish. Please assume that we know nothing about what you could have done in the past... (since we don't have).

• Airport Time Capsule does not completely erase

  1. I sell my Time Capsule airport.  I've referenced the article here: check, repair, or erase a disc AirPort Time Capsule - Apple Support.

  2 - I have completed each step, as shown in the article and place the drive to perform a secure erase drive with 7 assists, which was completed in a little less than 24 hours.

  3. I then checked to ensure that it has been erased and when I click on the Time Machine preferences it says that there are 2 TB 2 TB.

  4. However; He also has dates marked for the "oldest backup" and "Last backup", which I would have assumed that there is no data stored, to include my more old and more recent data backups.

  5. Furthermore, I checked to see why he had these dates and clicked "Enter Time Machine".  To my surprise, there are a number of very recent backups between now and the date of the "more old backup.

  Note:

  6. the time Machine airport has been recorded since mid-September.  It was unplugged and stored in its intact original packaging.  I took it out a week or two just to check there and have been using it without any problem - works perfectly and perform backups.

  7 - the 'oldest' backup is dated the day I put the unit in stock.  It seems that there is no other 'safeguards' existing before that date; However, when I scroll back in time Machine, there are windows that appear earlier on this date in September, but there are no dates on top of these windows and I can't access it.

  8 as mentioned, it is said that 2 TB to 2 TB is available, so for me it's contradictory?

  9 - the device is connected to the internet and my computer has access to the unit all the time he was leading the erase process.

  10. I did not attempt to restore from any of these previous dates in the case of an error, and I lost everything!

  11 - Time Capsule airport is one of the newer models (tour version) purchased, I think, fall of 2014 or 2015 spring.

  Get help to help me erase this disc completely would be very well appreciated.  Thank you.

  See you soon

  3. I then checked to ensure that it has been erased and when I click on the Time Machine preferences it says that there are 2 TB 2 TB.

  It is truly erased... It would show a loss of ability otherwise.

  4. However; He also has dates marked for the "oldest backup" and "Last backup", which I would have assumed that there is no data stored, to include my more old and more recent data backups.

  This information is stored in the local plist... you also need to reset your local time Machine.

  5. Furthermore, I checked to see why he had these dates and clicked "Enter Time Machine".  To my surprise, there are a number of very recent backups between now and the date of the "more old backup.

  Time Machine can make snapshots the... so when the TC is not available it stores the files in your hard drive... This makes it confusing to people.

  11 - Time Capsule airport is one of the newer models (tour version) purchased, I think, fall of 2014 or 2015 spring.

  In the Time Machine disk tab... Make sure that it always shows full disk is available. So it should show up here at 2 TB free as in Time Machine. As long as this is the case, you're good to sell.

  

  Do a quick erase... and disconnect it from your network. Do not put it back. Time Machine can still detect it's available... did you do a factory reset you need to do this as well to get rid of your passwords etc.

  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.

• Time Machine does not recognize the backups when you configure the external drive as a network drive

  I have a MyBook 5 to disk with a 1 TB partition that I used as a destination for Time Machine > 1 year now. I recently gathered the energy to connect the my book on my Airport Extreme Base Station (model 2014? the second model) to implement wireless backups. I plugged the MyBook on the base station, set up file sharing in AirPort Utility and created an account with access to the partition of TM on the MyBook under the section 'Sharing secured disk' utility.

  Now, when I open the time Machine, I choose this partition, but it does not seem to recognize that I have a string of backups already there. Then he tries to start a new backup. So a few questions.

  1. Should I abandon my old backups and start over? I don't think that I did nothing to my system in these last days that I would need to be careful, if I couldn't rely on a TM backup from that moment.
  2. Is there a way to get TM to recognize my old backups and start from there? I do not look down the barrel of a backup of time + 13.

  If 1, should I reformat the partition TM in order to start over? I don't see the older backups on disk when I look in the Finder, but I know that they are there and they are too much space. Help/suggestions appreciated!

• Intermittently, Time Capsule does not connect to the cable Modem

  Capsule time bought a few weeks ago.  Barely implemented.  TC does not recognize the cable modem.  These forums to get help.  Tracking the specific set of sequence with long delays between the steps and the modem and the TC.  It worked for about a month.  Now about once a day the TC works but not internet wireless or ethernet through the CT.  If I unplug the TC and let it restart and initialize internet connection returns.  During the internet cuts I have ethernet and Wi - Fi at transport CANADA, printers, and drives on the network as well as the time Capsule backup drive and your data.  If I ever lose ethernet and Wi - Fi to TB.  In addition, the modem works fine.  If I cut the TC and to the cable modem ethernet connection I have access to the internet.

  Thank you.  All were huge last time assistance.

  If it's always the same modem... a SB6141 of Arris... There have been a number of reports of trouble with this product with Apple routers. There is no mention that in your first post a month ago, because we wanted to see if a reset of the good modem would get things works well for you.  I had the same experience as with the same exact modem you have.

  The SB6141 is a good product, and the time Capsule is as well. But for some users, these two products do not work as well together. If you call people to support for modem, they show sure to like the question time Capsule. If you call Apple, they will have a different view on things. The bottom line when you go to a support group... because it of always the other guy that you are having problems.

  At this point, the only real solution would be to decide if you want to try another brand and model of modem and keep the time Capsule, or keep the modem and try another brand of router and then connect the Capsule to the router.

  In my case, I replaced the SB6141 (I tried 3 different SB6141s previously because the ISP admitted having difficulties with this modem and some routers) with a 5341J Zoom, and did not have a single falling Internet connection since I installed the Zoom for more than a year. If your Internet service provider indicates that the Zoom is a product that is compatible with their service, you might want to try this modem.

  But unfortunately, there is no assurance that the "solution" that has worked for me will be the solution that suits you. Such is the nature of the beast, when you work with products from two different suppliers.

• Time capsule does not connect to the Internet! Help!

  I bought my own personal modem (surfboard SB6121) and activated with Comcast. I connect to my modem via an Ethernet cable and it works perfectly. But when I connect the modem to time capsule, I can't connect to the internet. I have already restored it and still nothing. The light blinks orange and 2 notification messages I get are no internet connection and no DNS server.

  anything else I can do?

  Apple routers have known problems with some modems... which you have chosen the second worst... SB6141 is most noted as problematic, followed closely by SB6121.

  The question is the more remarkable with the airports of model AC... If TC or AE.

  The perhaps impossible question of fixing...

  First of all turned off, looks that you can not be Exchange to the customer or to the router modem correctly.

  When swap you from a computer directly connected to the TC you MUST turn off the modem for about 15-20 min... you do this?

  Otherwise, it's what it takes...

  If you have already done this... Sorry it is simply the question of compatibility and will not work.

  Are you IPv6 zone you define IPv6 properly...

• How to remove older backups for non-existent db_id

  I'll put up of backups rman for our databases of test & dev. These are cloned manually using commands in the o/s. As all of these databases are clones of prod, they have the same db_id. So I've discovered that I need to use the utility 'nest' change the db_id to save in the rman catalog. However, if I create a new clone of prod and give it a new db_id, older backups for the previous db_id (i.e. the previous clone that this replaced) are still in the recovery catalog.
  
  I see this info in the recovery catalog views, i.e.
  
  -----
  Select * from rc_database
  DB_KEY DBID NAME RESETLOGS_CHANGE DBINC_KEY # RESETLOGS_TIME
  1 701 3620254146 HOUTEST 3309633197328 21/04/2009 13:14:05

  919 920 3699186203 RMANTEST 3209104 27/04/2009 15:19:52
  -----
  In this example, db_id 3688071086 no longer exists and I'm unable to realize by using rman commands.
  
  So the problem is, how can we remove these old outdated backups? I tried the recovery window setting to a low value and running "remove obsolete", but the extent of the rman is concerned, it will not erase records for the old db_id and that no longer exists.
  
  For now we are just rman configuration on our test systems, this is why it is not yet in production.
  Of course, Miss me something fundamental here, maybe someone could point me in the right direction?
  
  The platform is Sun Solaris 10 with Oracle 10.2.0.3
  
  Thank you

  See scenario,

  1. you have A DBID 1111 data say.
  2. register cela in the catalog and took the backup.
  3. now you have changed the DBID of 1111 to 2222 for A database.
  4. now you must save new data in the recovery catalog as in the recovery catalog database are identified by the DBID. So now, recovery catalog will take this A database as a new database.
  5. now, when do you the backup list, it will not display the backup for old DBID. Even if you try to connect to the database as old DBID, it will not be possible as long as changing the DBID of a database means logically that old database has been deleted. It's what will examine RMAN. But the information for the old database DBID will remain in the recovery catalog schema. Giving orders of overlap or remove obsolete commands does not remove this backup from old DB of the disk or tape as the old database is not recognized by the RMAN now.
  So, you need to delete information on the old database to the catalog of recovery manually from the catalog schema then remove physical backups manually from tape or disk.

• Airport Time Capsule device not found

  I have the time Capsule on the airport of the TB 3 802.11ac (bought 9/2014).  It integrates the latest version of the 7.7.7.  Just last week, I received the error device not found (.. .has been previously a part of your network... etc.).  The internet connection is always good and the component of the time capsule router still works.  When I unplug the device, it can find him but eventually will go down in a few minutes.  I also did a warm reboot, but some results.  Printer connected to the time capsule does not, nor does Time Machine back ups.

  Would be grateful of any advice on why the drive not found error continues to occur.  Thank you!

  You have Back to My Mac enabled on the Time Capsule?

  If so, turn it off for the moment in the AirPort Utility and restart the time Capsule.

• Initial backup, Time Capsule will not end.

  I recently started to use my Time Capsule to back up my early 2014 MBA 13 '' again. However the initial backup will never end. The TC is not used as a Wi - Fi router; It is connected to the existing wireless network.

  When I started having this problem initially. I erased the disc TC and more fresh and Time Machine, under System Prefs, told me that the backup has been chugging along just great. Well... now, after he had all of August to reach the end of time Machine always shows me "waiting for full first backup."

  If I choose "save now" widget menu bar or if I let the system restart automatically backups TM shows Control Panel "backup x of x, XX, XX" and the second number continues to increase. The backup will never end.

  I searched the Ko of Apple and these discussion forums and not found the answer. What can I do to make this backup finish?

  TIA.

  The TC is not used as a Wi - Fi router; It is connected to the existing wireless network.

  And that's probably the problem, because Apple does not officially support backups Time Machine to TB unless you use the wireless TC, or connect the Mac directly on the TC using a wired Ethernet cable connection.

  Things can work with your existing wireless network, but it will be no help if it is not. Sometimes in situations like this, a Mac will back up OK wireless, and another Mac will have problems.

  As you try to add 'new' backups 'old' backup, Time Machine can also have issues with this, try to compare the old and new files and get confused about what to keep and do not keep. In this case, the recommended solution would be to delete older backups of the MBA and then start again and try a new backup.

  Wireless is never recommended for a first full backup. It's OK to use it, then much smaller incremental backups.

  If you try this course the existing wireless you have and still have questions, other than to try to save on the wireless TC, on the only other option to try would be to connect the MBA directly to one of the LAN port <>- on the back of the TC using an Ethernet cable.  Since you have an MBA, who does not have an Ethernet port, you can buy a bolt of lightning for the Ethernet card.  Maid in Gigabit Ethernet Adapter - Apple

• After upgrade to El Capitan Time Machine does not automatically

  Recently, I upgraded my Macbook Pro and iMac 24 to El Capitan.  Time Machine does not automatically work on the iMac.   I now use the backup to get a backup to run.  MacBook Pro is very well.

  Thinking that this might be the associated time Capsule, I removed the disc from the Capsule and ran Spinrite on it.  Car is very good.  Then I deleted all the files on the Time Capsule and created new Time machine backups on two computers.  No problem, except the iMac not run automatically Time machine.

  And yes the selection for Time Machine is configured to run automatically.

  A bug in OS X 10.11.1 prevents automatic backups that happens when a desktop Mac (iMac, Mac mini or Mac Pro) is connected to a UPS (UPS) with the USB feature.

  Please, back up all data before proceeding.

  First, check the App Store for a later update to OS X. If it is available when you read this review, install it and see if the problem is resolved. I speak not beta versions.

  Otherwise, you can work around the bug as follows.

  These must be run as administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.

  Please triple - click anywhere in the line below on this page to select:

  sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine RequiresACPower 0

  Copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination.

  Launch the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

  ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

  ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

  ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

  Paste in the Terminal window by pressing the command-V key combination. I tested these instructions only with the Safari browser. If you use another browser, you may need to press the return key after pasting. You will be asked for your login password. Nothing displayed when you type. Type carefully, and then press return. If you do not have a password, you will need to configure one before you can run the command. You can get a warning to be careful. Confirm. You don't need to display the warning.

  If you see a message that your user name "is not in the sudoers file", then you have not logged as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.

  Wait for a new line ending with a dollar sign ($) below what you entered. You can then quit Terminal.

  Restart the computer and test.

• Time Machine does not believe that a volume is identical to an exact volume in doubles with the same name

  • Had a player named ' external 1. »
  • He began to miss (I had another drive of the same manufacturer, and 'External 1' making the same noises as the other just before it failed).
  • Off time Machine
  • A got a new drive and formatted, calling it "new external 1".
  • All "external 1" copied on 'new external 1 "'.
  • Not mounted 'External 1' and threw it in a box that I keep for hardware failures
  • Renamed 'New external 1' on «external 1"»
  • Time Machine running and went to preferences. In the list of things to exclude the back - ups has been 'External 1.'
  • Removed '1 external' in the list of exclusions (highlighted his name and press the sign less)
  • Checked and found that "external 1" was still on the list of things to exclude
  • Repeated several times, but I couldn't go down the list

  Somehow Time Machine does not believe that the new "external 1" is the same as the first (who has done again to the top without any problems)

  What can I do to get the time Machine no no keep 'External 1' permanently on its exclusion list and the addresses as the same drive as the one I replaced?

  Furthermore, if I rename "External 1" to "New external 1", Time Machine will save it. But I can not just keep the "new external 1" name for reasons of scripts, etc..

• Time Capsule will not extend the Airport Extreme network

  My airport extreme (do not know what version... can't even find it in the system report) offers a WiFi modem. I have a Time Capsule 4 G which extends the network. This works well for a few years now. Suddenly, the CAP began flashing yellow. Time capsule said Airport utility cannot extend the network and I should make sure the password is correct, that it is in the signal of a network, etc. I went through the settings of the time capsule by ensuring that passwords are correct. It is certainly within the range of the signal of the airport extreme (they are both in the same place as always... Besides, I put my iPhone next to the time capsule and I get a signal strong). I tried a hard reset of the time capsule. Of course, this does not work.

  Time Capsule seems to be communicating with the computer very well. I can access it via the Airport utility and reboot. I can access the data on its disk backup. Airport Extreme is to give a signal of good wi - fi connection. I'm still able to pick it up with my computer (even if my computer is far more than the time capsule).

  Someone has an idea of what's going on?

  Given that the Capsule does not correctly connect unless everything is OK with the AirPort Extreme... I suggest that you turn off the time Capsule for now and check that everything works correctly on the AirPort Extreme.

  My airport extreme (do not know what version... can't even find it in the system report)

  You say that the AirPort Extreme does not appear when you open AirPort Utility?

  If so, press and hold the option on your Mac key while you double-click on the image of the AirPort Extreme.

  Model of the AirPort Extreme, you will appear at the top of the summary page. What is it?

  Near the bottom of the summary page, check to see if there is a parameter that is displayed for the State.  If there is, what is the message next to status?

• Time machine does not take into account my partition which is case-sensitive.  Recovery has no data of this partition.

  I have a partition on my drive that is formatted for OS X Journaled, case sensitivity.  When I perform a backup, then recovery, all data in this partition is missing.  Time Machine does not recognize partitions of case-sensitive?  Strange, as the default format for Time Capsule itself is case sensitive.

  You cannot use the formatting case-sensitive with OS X. You will need to repartition the drive to Insensitive in full. You can not do any repairs or restore from a backup Time Machine.

• Firefox does not remove expired cookies

  I thought that all expired cookies should be removed automatically by the browser. but this isn't the way it happens in my Firefox (same behavior for different web sites).

  close Firefox and even restarting the computer didn't help.
  the only way to remove cookies expired since Firefox is: hand (which means I have to choose cookie in the privacy of the Firefox Options tab, and then press the 'Delete cookies' button).

  Well, the good news: expired cookies are ignored by the servers (tested with a user through my virtual server script), but for some unknown reason continue to be stored off in Firefox.

  Is it the way it should work?

  Between the bug reports, it seems that Firefox does not remove expired cookies automatically. This only happens if you exceed the maximum storage limit of 3000 cookies. Deletion of expired cookies seems to be something that would have to do in time of inactivity, because he made a start or close does not adversely affect performance.
