Time Machine can't see NAS to format / partitioned in El Capitan

We have two MacBook Pro and 4 car TB WD MyBook attached to our wireless router. This disk is partitioned and used for Time Machine backups. We did not have problems with this configuration, up to yesterday, that we decided to format the disk and repartition it. We did it with my MacBook Pro which is running El Capitan (10.11.3) and the newer disk utility program. I plugged the drive locally on the laptop and he came back and said that through fine form/partitioning layout. However, I moved to the router as a NAS and went to setup Time Machine... Time Machine could not see the player. I could map the drive and write to her through 'connect to server... ". "without any problem. Even tried the thing to "map the drive on the desktop" to make it appear on the list of drives available in Time Machine. Nothing worked! I thought something may had been bad installation, or gone bad, partitioning and started... always the same results. The third time, I decided to use MacBook Pro my wife who still works Yosemite with the old "Disk Utility" program on this subject. I went through and formatted/partitioned it the same as before. However, when I hooked up like the SIN this time and the mapped drive he appeared right on Time Machine just as it should have the first time.

Is there a problem with Time Machine, find readers NAS to format / partitioned in El Capitan? Is there a setting that needs to be changed in the new "Disk Utility" program to make it work? I'm a bit of a loss here...

The router cannot possibly recognize a drive formatted by OS X. It uses an operating system that is totally foreign.

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 can't see my passport

  • Time Machine can't see the 2nd Logical Volume

    I have a RN104, there 4x3TB disks in there, configured in 2xRAID 1 volumes.

    The 2nd Volume has recently added so that I can activate and use Time Machine for backups of my Mac.

    That's the problem, when I start to set up Time Machine, it cannot see the remaining space in the 1st volume, I can't find a way to set up Time Machine to see or use the available space of the volume, I have installed specifically for Time Machine backups.

    All the thoughts/views/answers?

    Kind regards

    Glenn.

    Hello Thresherinc,

    The /data/home/USER/.timemachine is where Time Machine stores data, this folder is always the default value / 1 volume of the NAS and can never be moved.

  • Time Machine won't see drive connected to Airport Extreme

    I have a MacBook Pro 2009 (5,5), El Capitan running. I just replaced the HD with an SSD. The OWC kit, I bought came with a USB for my old HD box. I want to use this drive as my Time Machine as my old drive to WD firewire crapped out. The old MBP disk is inside OS X extended (journaled) formatting and goes up as a network drive in my finder when it is connected to my Airport Extreme. Time Machine won't see unless it is connected directly to the USB port on the MPB.

    The first thought that comes to mind here is to make sure that you have the latest version of 'tour' of the AirPort Extreme, which officially supports Time Machine backups on a drive to the USB port of the device.

    Is this the case?

    All the old 'flat' or 'square' of the AirPort Extreme versions don't support officially the backups Time Machine on a drive to the USB port on the device... even though we used to see messages from time to time users who claimed that it worked for them... at least for a while before he didn t.

  • Time machine does not see the existing backups

    When I tried to make a backup of TM to my doesn.t TM HD external see my existing backups and trying to do a new backup complete. Firstly, it said "preparing backup..." "that takes a long time before you go make a new backup full not not using the existing to make a differential.

    You're talking about two different things that above:

    • Create a new full backup
    • Recognizing the existence of previous backups

    You seem to be assuming that because Time Machine seems to be to create a new full backup, so should not recognize the existence of all the previous backups.  This assumption is wrong.  New full backups are created, for example, when the update of OS X.

    The way to check if the Time Machine recognizes the previous backups would be to use the Time Machine application to check if you can see previous versions of files.

  • Time Machine can't find my Airport Extreme disk

    I have a 3 TB Airport Extreme connected via USB to my iMac.  iMac is El Capitan (10.11.6) running my iMac is a mid-2007.  When I try to set up Time Machine to back up on the AE, it does not offer me EI in option for a backup drive.  In fact, when I look on the Finder, I don't see not EI there either.  What's wrong?

    The USB port on an AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule of airport is here to add an additional hard drive for storing data... or... a compatible USB printer.

    The USB port can be used to connect a Mac or any other computer.

    Instead, your Mac connects to the airport using the wireless or if you want a wired connection, it's via an Ethernet cable.

    AirPort Extreme is not an internal hard drive at all, so you could say you have a 3 TB Time Capsule airport, which does not have an internal hard drive.  Please specify if you have additional questions.

  • Backup Restore Time Machine does not see RAID external drive

    Hi all

    I have a problem with my iMac restore from a Time Machine backup, and I was wondering if anyone else had the same problem already.

    I had to reinstall OS X El Capitan from scratch, based on education, I received Support from Apple. That worked without problems and my iMac works fine. However, I wanted to restore it to how it was before, using Time Machine. I keep my backups on a LaCie 5big Thunderbolt 2 and never had any problems with it.

    To restore the system, I followed the instructions on the Support page. I restarted my system in recovery mode and selected the "restore from Time Machine backup". Unfortunately the LaCie 5big does not appear on the list of drives, so I'm stuck... When you use the system in normal mode, the external RAID is visible and Time Machine stores backups on it without any problem.

    Any of you are familiar with this problem? I would be very grateful if you could help me with this problem!

    Kind regards

    Valerio

    Hello

    -While the system is booted in recovery mode, confirm that the Lacie 5big network is visible in disk utility.   You will need to disconnect / reconnect the Thunderbolt cable to the Lacie 5big be detected.

    -Once seen, a new attempt to restore from Time Machine backup.

    See you soon

  • Time machine can not read my previous record

    I have reinstalled mac system and erase hard drive 3 weeks ago, but I didn't completely copy all of the files of music, so when I use time machine to restore it save only sometime after I reinstalled my mac.

    I wonder how I will get my previous record? What is the problem of the authority, if time machine won't let me read the previous record?

    someone knows how to fix this?

    Should have immediately restored the files... It will now make a mess.

    I assume that all the music files means your iTunes library... If not, what do you mean?

    Did you use the same name for Mac as it did on the old installation?

    You did backup on top of the existing backup or did you start a new backup.

    If you started a new backup, you can migrate files... open the utility Directory migration wizard and select the previous backup...

    However, there are questions if you used the same user name that you currently have... Tell me if you use the same computer name or the same username.

  • I can't see my hard drives partition more :-/

    Hello

    I can see is no longer a partition that I had on an external drive. I know that this probably isn't the best thing to do, but I had a backup time machine on this partition (such as one on my hard drive to the Mac).  I think I've ejected the drive not correctly once, and since the partition of time machine no longer appears

    Disk utility does not launch or that hard drive is plugged so I can't reformat it even :-/

    If anyone knows any more options?

    Thank you very much

    Nick

    You can try to disconnect your external drive, reboot into Recovery Mode (command-R), and OS X Utilities launch disk utilitymenu, connect your external drive and see if you can format.

    I purchased Drive Genius 4 OWC (Macsales.com) and had something similar happens where I could see all the partitions on the external drive but could not repartition or delete one of them. With Drive Genius, I was able to repartition and format. So, you might need a 3rd party app like Disk Warrior and Drive Genius (trial download) to manipulate your external drive.

  • Time Machine is not not in the IOS 10.11 (El Capitan)

    Update to IOS 10.11 from the ReadyNAS Monte drive is no longer, and Timemaching can not find the disc. I tried to shoot the sequence to stop, restart, re-enable option option but again, it will not mount in the IOS. IOS shows the ReadyNAS as a shared device and can be accessed without problem, read and write on it is also very well my MAC and Media Streamer, it's just the Mount of Time Machine that does not work. I tried everything short of a factory reset, which is expected after a config if (a lot of actions to put in place otherwise) ideas, I tried all the normal things.

    It seems that it was a permissions problem, the new OS X worm 10.11 has done away with the option to repair permissions in Disk Manager, don't know why. I have tried to disable time machine, but that the disc is not found, it did not appear as a disk. Reboot cold as the NV2 + with the Mac on correction of the problem that the NAS is now again appear in the finder under shared devices. Don't know why he lost the permissions after the upgrade, and I didn't have to restart the NAS server immediately she worked very well with my iPhone and media streamer.

  • 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.

  • Created in Esxi virtual MACHINE can't see the network

    Hello

    I installed Esxi 5.5 and I have no problem to access and create a virtual machine.

    However, the virtual machine, which is 2012 Windows, does not begin with a network adapter.

    When I check the configuration of the VM, the network adapter is connected, turned on, E1000E but says directpath e/s is not supported. I don't have VMware tools installed in the virtual machine.

    I don't understand where the problem lies. I connect to Esxi ok. I can run the virtual machine in Esxi client ok, but the images says that there is no network.

    I created the VM Windows before 2012, outside of Esxi and the network built in card is detected ok.

    STOP PRESS - in computer management Windows, peripheral, the Ethernet controller is not recognized. So, how can I get the virtual machine to recognize when it is running in ESXI?

    Help?

    Thank you

    Jason

    Also can you check with adapter VMXNET or tru uninstalling and reinstalling VMware tools.
