  • If you are using an external drive connected to your Mac, use disk utility to make sure that your backup disk is formatted in HFS + extended (journaled) and is the partition type GUID Partition Table (GPT)

  It is not an option for the HFS + and so I used; OS x EXTENDED (journaled). GUID is ok.

  Can someone let me know what I need to do.

  Thank you

  Formatting: GUID Partition Table, OS X Extended (journaled).    (it is HFS +)

  Do it again if necessary, then disconnect, reconnect, Start Time Machine preferences and "select disk".

• Disk utility does not not what Time Machine backup connected / file Vault question?

  Hi all

  I'm on Mac OSX El Capitan 10.11.3 (15 d 21) on a Macbook Pro 8.2 (early 2011)

  Previously, when File Vault was not activated I've been able to backup on my external drive for Time Machine (1 TB store Transcend jet) and the drive was visible when opening disk utility no problem...

  Now since I have encrypted my first Macintosh HD using File Vault, my disk utility program will not load when my Time Machine (unencrypted) external backup disk is connected, and I can not back up by using the application Time Machine (the player is simply not visible).

  When my external drive for Time Machine is not connected, my disk utility opens very well and I can see my Macintosh HD all external USB drives.

  I tried to re-boot, I tried to disconnect all external devices, I tried to connect the Time Machine drive with two USB ports and I tried to open the first disk utility, and then connect the external drive for Time Machine without success.

  Anyone else have experience with this problem or something similar? Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you very much!

• Time Machine replacement drive but can not see the old backups

  Race X Server on 10.11.2 with 5.0.15

  My Time Machine hard disk became full and I replaced it with a new, larger, in the car. I copied everything (using the Finder) from the old to the new drive and set it as the destination of Time Machine for a couple of Mac network.

  I now have a 'new' backup, I don't see one of my old files when entering TM. I can't see my old backups that I copied the disk of TM "Daves Mac.sparsebundle" and alongside a new "Daves Mac 1.sparsebundle.

  How can I continue to use the old backup data?

  Thank you

  "Dave."

  On your Mac TimeMachine backup was severed with the sparsebundle backup on the server - which obviously you saw. If you run this command on one of your Mac you will see something like this (it's just for example).

  $ tmutil destinationinfo

  ====================================================

  Name: TimeMachine

  Type: network

  URL: afp://user@host._afpovertcp._tcp.local./TimeMachine

  Mount point: / Volumes/TimeMachine

  ID: 3167D1F3-9FE8-4369-B8CC-463B92F35438

  The key is that there is an ID associated to backup to the Time Machine backup of service on your OS X Server. This ID is what Time Machine use when working with backups.

  You need to 'reconnect', or 'reassociate', your client computer for backup sparsebundle. The page for command tmutil...

  "Machine directories sparsebundles belong to one computer at a time and are followed by unique identifiers rather than the computer name, host name or address ethernet. The verb inheritbackup reassigns the identity of the specified element, reconfiguring so that the current host, he acknowledges during backups. »

  I found a site for you who has detailed instructions for this. I can't confirm if these procedures work that I have not tested it me then please read the instructions carefully and proceed at your own risk! The author however looks like it includes the concepts involved.

• Time Machine the new disk transfer has not moved all the time

  I have a Time Machine backup to an external drive. It works very well. However, he was beginning to run out of space, so I bought a new, bigger HD.

  I followed all the steps of Time Machine: how to transfer backups from a current backup disk to a new backup drive - Apple Support.

  I then waited 12 hours for that copy.

  Around midnight, I noticed the copy is complete. There was a message that iWork had not been copied because he needed a different operating system. But I rejected. There are no other messages.

  I changed the Time Machine preferences on the new disk. And fell asleep.

  This morning, I walked into a Time Machine.

  Only the first date from July 2014, was on the new disc of TM. Then there was five times after midnight when the new drive was saved.

  But there is nothing in any of the years between the first date and after midnight.

  I know that there are hundreds of TM captures on the original disc. And I've used them very well.

  I tried to copy individual files from the old drive to TM to the new, but it is not possible to "change the backups."

  10.10.5 system

  What should do?

  While in Time Machine, to see all the volumes mounted shift - command - c.    Information derived from Linc Davis.

  If this does not work, try to copy the file to disk/restore utility using to copy the backup to a new location. Please note that this will reformat the destination partition.

• Time Machine backups do not complete

  My main problem is when I start a Time Machine backup, it works quickly for an hour or two and then slows down to a crawl and never ends.

  I'm on 10.11.1.  I reformated my Time Machine backup disk to try to begin to clean up two or three times and I have the same problem.

  It started when I updated to El Capitan.  My original backup has been corrupted.  I reformatted the drive and now I am at this point.

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

  Please launch the Console application 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.

  The title of the Console window should be all Messages. If it isn't, select

  SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ all Messages

  in the list of logs on the left. If you don't see this list, select

  List of newspapers seen ▹ display

  in the menu at the top of the screen bar.

  In the upper right corner of the Console window, there is a search box to filter. Enter the 'Start-up' (without the quotes). You should now see messages in the log with the words "departure * backup," where * represents one of the words "automatic", "manual" or "standard".

  Each message in the journal begins with the date and time when it was entered. Note the time stamp of the last 'Start' message that matches the start of a normal backup. Now

  DELETE THE WORD 'Start' TO THE TEXT BOX

  so that all messages are showing and highlight the newspaper at the same time, you noted. Select the time-stamped messages since then until the end of the backup or the end of the log if it is not clear. Copy to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command + V.

  If all you see are messages that contain the word 'Start-up', you clear the text field.

• Restored HD from a Time Machine backup of my old iMac (stolen) from my new MacBook Pro.  Not all the files have been restored.

  My iMac 27 "(2011) so my wife 13 '' MacBook Pro (2011) were recently stolen after our House was robbed.  My wife got a new MacBook Pro and I restored it successfully its data (selected "backup restore Time Machine" during the installation of its new MacBook Pro).  However, I also got a new 15 "MacBook Pro in lieu of the iMac 27".  I have, once again, selected "Restore from Time Machine backup" (selected the iMac as the backup source) when installing my new MacBook Pro.  When it was finally over, I told Time Machine to inherit from the backup.  Unfortunately, none of the files in the My Documents folder or the photos in my photo library have been restored.  Was it a bad idea to try to use the backup of the iMac as a source for the MacBook Pro (both running El Capitan)?

  is it possible that your documents are stored on another drive which was not part of the backup plan? or is the HD in the big enough MBP to inherent the old backup.

  If you open the time machine with the original backup disc, you should be able to browse the content

  

  If the files are found, you can restore by right-clicking (or CTRL + left mouse)

• Transfer Time Machine backup on the new disk, preparing already > 24 hours!

  I followed the instructions on the web site (Time Machine: how to transfer backups from a current backup disk to a new backup drive - Apple Support -essentially a copy via the Finder) and after more than 24 hours the copy process is still "preparing to copy" and lists currently more than 4 million items.

  Yes, I have a large number of files, 2.65 TB of info I want to spend on a new disc of 6 TB, but this method of copy will take too long. I'm afraid I have to stop the process of copying in the morning, because I have to take my MBP on the road.

  Is there another "clever way" of making a Time Machine backup on a new external drive?

  You can try using the software clone to make a copy, but I'm afraid that the size of the data you are trying to copy will take a long time with any method.

  I suggest starting with a new Time Machine backup disk 6 to and leave the old time in the form of a Machine archive to use if necessary.

• Why my Time Machine backups do not take many hours?

  I recently changed my external backup of a disk in a big flash drive backup.  Some of the Time Machine backups take several hours, sometimes all night or more.  General info on Time Machine Prefs will show large backups, as now "backup 39.6 89.7 MB, with a remaining time" (the flash drive is only about a quarter of full.)  Is it normal for a backup of the USB?  Thank you.

  How the drive is formatted? It should be in Mac OS Extended journaled.

• restored my time machine backup mac - restarts not successfully

  After virus/malware unusable safari, I used my 'time machine' backups to restore my entire system (10.10.5).  I had the "restore msg."

  By design, it restarts.  I get the apple logo and progress indicator, but the bar spend about a third of the way and restarting stops there.  I tried

  reboot several times with the same results.  I then repeated the procedure for restoring above with a backup taken a week before and got the successful restore msg

  but had the same result with the reboot.  Don't know what to do next.

  Starts in recovery (command-R) Mode and choose the option Install OS X. Have it reinstall the OS without wiping the drive. Who should make the drive to be bootable again.

• Time Machine backup is not Backing Up all my files

  On my Mac, I used about 450 GB of 500 GB available on my hard drive (as shown in 'about my Mac'). But when you click on the Menulet of Time Machine with a Time Machine backup on an external hard drive, it says "Backing up 28.68 35,65 GB".  Why is it only backup 35,65 GB on my 450 GB of files & data?

  Thank you!

  Time Machine backs up only changes since the last backup on your Mac.

  The first backup, Time Machine copies on everything from the Mac to the time Capsule. After that, changes are saved with each pass.

• Cannot switch between multiple Time Machine backups

  I generally save my 2010 Macbook Pro to a 2012 Time Capsule, which is attached to my router via an ethernet cable (most recent) wireless. On a trip, I make the additional backups on an external hard drive. However, when I go home and try to return to the TC, my internal HD is now on the time Machine "Exclude" list and cannot be removed (greyed out). When I try to save, I get a message saying "no disks are available to back up."

  What has happened a few times, and the only solution I could find was to delete my original Time Machine backup and put a new (which took forever).

  Any ideas why my HD internal is added to the exclusion list after using Time Machine with an external hard drive?

  Time Machine backups on a network drive or a disc attached locally stored in different formats. Switching between them was not in the overall theme of the design of this service of OS X.

  I suggest that you set up Time Machine to use multiple disks.

  FWIW, in my case, I backup destinations, Time Machine on a Time Capsule and an external hard drive of 2 bolt of lightning. When both are available, the time goes 'take turns' Machine backup on each drive.

  If a disk is not available, it backs up to that which is, and which ignores the backup of the other. When the two are connected again, backups continue on both.

• How can I restore mac Time machine backup to most recent?

  So, I recently met several problems with my old mac. He started acting upward with the blinking folder and question mark more often. So I did multiple time machine backups and have since then tried to reinstall the OS and many other options, but it looks like my mac middle of 2007 has had its day. So I bought a new mac and tried to restore the back upward on the external hard drive. I get the message that his back is an older version and it cannot be restored and I should use from the other mac migration assistant.

  So the question is: If the first mac is burned and I can not restore settings etc of the time external hard disk machine, how to restore the whole upward? Can I transfer files only?

  Very much appreciated.

  Hi Sir,

  You cannot restore data in time machine just like that. You use the data transfer assistant to recover your old records to your new Mac.

  The data that you used time machine made to your old mac are not available to your new mac. There is limitation of the system.

  Hope this could help you.
