• Cannot open encrypted on Time Machine disk image

  I have an encrypted file protected by password in my Macbook Pro.  The folder name is "Enc.dmg" and is kept in the main Applications folder. If I remove the Time Machine backup before a dmg file, it seems theoretically to save.  But when I later enter Time Machine go to Applications and click on the Enc.dmg file, it opens; It is not mount the disk image and invite me to enter the password.  Instead, a non-functional information is displayed.  The box contains unnecessary information. He tells me it's a dmg file.

  If ever, my computer crashes or is lost or stolen and I can't access my file encrypted on Time Machine, I'll be in big trouble.  Is it possible to actually make a dmg properly function in mode Time Machine?

  You restore the file before trying to open it? It should not open in Time Machine.

• adding the 2nd Time Machine disk backup capability

  I have a Mac pro OS X 10.11.5 with two discs devoted to the backup. When I wanted the first filled to the top, then add the second to continue archiving backup files.

  I don't want to lose my older archived data in backups on disk 1.

  What happens when I add a second drive to add capacity to the Time Machine backups?  Once the first drive is hard full TM then will use the second drive until it is full?

  When you add the second drive, I get a warning that the TM will take turns using the disc 1 and disc 2. But 1 disk is full. TM will not delete old information on Drive 1 to make room? If Yes is not good because I want to keep the old data. I just want to keep incremental backups to Drive 2.

  Please specify the feature.

  Yes, TM will continue to save on disk 1 and delete older backups and take turns with disk 2. If you want to keep 1 as it is by car, then you must remove it from the list of backup. Start a new backup on disk 2, and continue. In both cases, the disc 2 will make a new full backup of your computer.

• Time machine logo disappears on desktop

  for some strange reason the time Machine logo (the arrow-dial clock in blue and white) no longer appear on the external hard drive shown in my office. The time machine still works but has metro logo-wise - and only on a single machine. What needs tweaking?

  It is possible that the drive is not mounted. Opened in Applications/Utilities Disk utility. Do you see the drive listed? Don't you see the possibility to mount the drive?

  Often a reboot will help you in a car which is difficult to climb.

  Then, open Finder preferences. Under Finder in the Menu bar, select Preferences.

  Under general, you checked external drives under "show these items on the desktop"?

• Data recovery is possible on Time Machine disk?

  My 1 TB Seagate Expansion hard drive had accidental erasure and all backups are gone. This drive has the most recent backup of my Mac. Can I still retrieve its content?

  It is sometimes possible using a recovery utility.

  BUT IMHO you just learn the lesson and immediately start a new backup.

  There was a story, you need?

• How to transfer Time Machine backup to the new external hard drive

  I'm upgrading to a 1 hard external to the Western reader to with 5 TB of Seagate.  This is because Time Machine has used the 1 TB drive.  How can I transfer the files from backup Time Machine from the old to the new drive so that backups continue to have access to the old files.

  Although the documentation Apple says you can copy Time Machine backups in the Finder, it is very slow and sometimes does not.

  This technique works only if the volume that you copy to the same size or larger that that you are copying to.

  First of all, please open the Time Machine preference pane and click the Select Disk... button. You may be able to unlock the settings first, by clicking on the padlock icon in the lower left corner of the window. Log in as administrator.

  Remove the volume you want to copy in the list of backup destinations. Then turn off Time Machine.

  Launch disk utility, open the built-in Help and search for the term 'Double '. Follow the instructions. All existing data on the destination volume will be deleted. That shouldn't be a problem, because you do not want to mix non-sauvegarde and backup data on the same drive anyway.

  If the volume you are copying has been encrypted by Time Machine, you must first unlock it. Click the release button in the toolbar of the disk utility window.

  Turn Time Machine back on and select the new volume as a backup destination. Alternatively, you can continue to use the old volume, if you wish. Both will be alternated when both are available.

  ATTENTION: If you copy the volume is corrupted, as shown by the ERD or first aid in disk utility, while corruption is copied to the new drive. Do not copy data from a damaged on a faulty disk volume. Put aside the reader and do not use until you don't know that you no longer need the data. Then securely erase it and bring it to a recycling center. Do the same if the restore operation fails with "disk errors."

• Moving backups Time Machine - the operation cannot take place because the backup item is not editable

  I want to change the external hard drive that I use for my time machine backups. I went through the steps listed here:

  Time Machine: How to transfer backups from a current backup disk to a new backup drive - Apple Support

  It seems to work correctly. I shot TM back and adding the new drive. TM is now backing up files on the drive up, but there is a problem.

  For some reason, TM has begun to put backups "freely" for lack of better in the external hard drive, and not in the backups.backupdb folder for a week, then returned to save them in the backups.backupdb > ComputerName > files from backups. So in other words, when you click on the hard drive in the finder, it opens the player and you see a folder named Backups.backupdb and then a bunch of mixed in which files are backups time machine named 2016-01-24-XXXXXX, etc.. When you go to the folder Backups.backupdb, there's a more random "loose" time machine backup file 2016-01-23-XXXXXX, and then another folder with the name of computers and in the folder are all TM backups except loose ones I mentioned earlier.

  It seems that TM is working properly now, but I don't know why he put the files from the first days outside the backup folder. However, when I do drag, I get the error:

  The operation cannot be completed because backup items is not editable

  I want to just put all the files in the right folder so that I can A) keep my disk organized and (B) ensure what TM can find everything correctly should I have to go back.

  No idea what is happening and how to fix it?

• To access the backups Time Machine another computer

  I have spent a good hour looking for a solution to this problem, but have developed empty-handed.

  If I understand correctly, backups of access from another Mac time Machine, I need to connect the backup drive to another Mac and select "Browse Other Time Machine disks... "in the Time Machine dock menu and choose the drive.

  The backup drive appeared as expected and I clicked on "Use selected Disk" to enter the time Machine.

  At this point, the computer between what seems to be Time machine, but shows a Finder window to the hard disk of the computer rather than the backup drive and shows not all dates before "today (now)."

  A thread has suggested that I open a Finder window and select 'Computer' in the menu to reach before the opening of time Machine. It did not work.

  Another thread has suggested that I have use the Migration Wizard rather to recover files and folders, I need. This is not ideal, but I tried it anyway, the result being that the Migration Wizard app remained "Looking for source...". "without finding the backup drive.

  Before formatting my drive on the original Mac, I had checked for if ensure that I could access the Time Machine backup while it was plugged into the backup drive (which he successful well).

  I use the latest version of El Capitan 10.11.6 on a MacBook Air (mid 2011). Backup is a MacBook Pro (mid-2010) who ran as El Capitan.

  I would appreciate any other suggestions!

  So, I discovered the solution, which has been in a simpler way that I expected. Before opening, Time Machine, it is necessary to find the sparsebundle Disk Image in the backup disk in the Finder and open it with "DiskImageMounter." Then, you must select "Computer" in the Finder menu reach before choosing the option "Browse Other Time Machine disks... "menu to the dock of time Machine. The first finder window it shows in the Time Machine view still belongs to the computer, but now it shows the previous backups, who are all from the backup drive!

• Is it possible to remove a file from your time Machine?

  Is it possible to remove a file (s) from your time Machine?  When I tried, I got a pop up says that backs up the items cannot be changed. How do you get the room on your Time Machine disk?

  Time Machine takes care of its own needs of storage itself, without interfere you in the process. When the TM drive is running out of storage space, TM will remove older backups if necessary.

  Time Machine backups are very sophisticated in what is backed up at what time. It is not as simple as just delete the backups 'elders '. Let TM its magic in itself.

• behavior strange time machine

  This is not a complaint.

  About once a week, I get a message that does not have a time machine backup.  I could solve the problem by rebooting the system.

  About 4 days ago I got a time backup failure message. I rebooted the system, but not 'Back Up Now'.  I thought that the time machine disk was gone and had to be replaced.

  Then, miraculously, time machine started working!  With the new backups in progress.

  Two sets of questions:

  1. is anyone else seen this happen?  If so, what ended up happening?

  2. any advice?  I've never used time machine to recover a version of a file that I've trashed, only to do a full system restore, after that I had a system failure.

  Thank you.

  1. no idea

  2. I would use disk utility > first aid to check your drive internal and also check the volume of time Machine.

• Backup a Time Machine backup?

  When troubleshooting a Mac in the past, I had the frightening experience of him erase my Time Machine backup.  Fortunately, I was able to restore the backup on the disk.

  Now I'm troubleshooting a Mac, I have my external drive Time Machine and a blank disk.

  For security reasons, before making troubleshooting more away from the Mac, I want to back up the Time Machine disk to the blank disc.

  Of course, I could just drag - copy the folder of documents from one disk to another, but it can cause all sorts of permissions problems. Would it not possible (or better) to use a backup like Carbon Copy Cloner for this application?

  Try using disk/restore to copy the backup to a new location. Please note that this will reformat the destination partition.

  You can then go to system PreferencesTime Machine and add the blank disc as a backup drive.

• Time machine on a usb hub

  Last summer, my iMac (running El Capitan) 2010 started hooking serious problems where the only solution would be to perform a reboot of the material.  After much experimentation and running on an external drive, I discovered that Time Machine was the culprit.  That is, when TM was off, the Mac has worked well, but if I turned back on, after 12-24 hours of TM, the Mac, would essentially become unusable and require a restart of hardware.  While I would certainly prefer to have current backups made via TM, there is nothing on this machine that had not been saved on other storage devices, so I was happy to let it go for several months.  Thinking maybe TM two disks, I had been using had been corrupted, I have them off and on again 5 TB (internal drive is 1 TB).  Once again, the same results.  Thinking maybe the USB hub was at fault, I replaced the hub last night.  This morning, everything seemed fine, but four hours later, after being in mode 'sleep' for most of the time, it was frozen again.  I have attached from the player to the USB port on the iMac Freedmen and will wait to see what happens.

  Now I read that Apple has recommendations for the use of TM and nowhere in there is a mention, a USB hub, for or against.  Anyone has any information (even if it's just anecdotal) regarding the use of the Time Machine disks via a USB hub?  For the record, the drive is a Seagate 5 to, USB 3.0, and I connected via USB 2 and 3 USB hubs with the same results (suspended).

  Anyone who can shed light on this aura of gratitude.  It has been confusing me for some time - especially since it seems that nothing of what I found to indicate that you can not or do not use a Time Machine drive via a USB hub.

  These hubs are externally powered? And what else is connected to them?

• Central Seagate NAS - "Invisible" Time Machine backup

  Running OS X El Capitan (10.11.3), have a central Seagate NAS connected to the same network.

  Struggling to locate/mount the Time Machine "partition" of the NAS using the Finder, even if the NAS works more or less perfect otherwise. For example, I have no problem to mount the NAS in the Finder and have accessibility without restrictions and read/write permissions to files on the NAS and visible files. I have also run the Time Machine backups with no problems, however, I can't physically locate the backup Time Machine (sparsebundle file) when you use the Finder. During the mounting of the SIN in the Finder (= "user1" user / password = *), I have 3 folders available and visible (with subfolders), "user 1", "Public" and "user 2". Unable to locate the backup in the any of these files.

  Then, when I run the terminal and run ' ssh ' user1@ipadressofNAS, then ´cd /', then 'data ls', I find several items, including the "Public" folder I mentioned, I do not see in the Finder above, and also a component called "user1.tm". Later in the user1.tm, runs "ls Data / user1.tm ', I find"mymac.sparsebundle"- that is.

  Then of course, the dedicated part time Machine is the NAS Server (I just pointed out Time Machine backup to the NAS Seagate available without being able to specify the directory), but I can not located this part physically using Finder. Just for reference, I also tried to find backups to the display of hidden files and directories using the Finder.

  Is it possible to physically see the backup Time Machine 'partition' in the Finder? I think that this was possible according to the default in some earlier versions of the operating system, but then the time Machine 'disc' disappeared as well as the evolution of the OS.

  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 sees the backup, but not connecting to new machine

  Just did a transfer from MAC to MAC using Thunderbolt cable - everything is good!  Then, I wanted to make sure that the new Mac can access Time Machine backup file on the network file server.

  Old MAC - running El Capitan 10.11.3 - TM full backup to the network Central of Seagate drive is successful.

  New Mounting successful MAC - running El Capitan 10.11.4 - Time machine disk Seagate file

  . Name of the new Mac is slightly different because of the collision of network host names

  Various attempts to select the reader appear to succeed but the backup information (Date of last backup) are not displayed.

  Entering Time Machine will display the finders stacked, but it will timeout to 30 seconds, saying: he cannot connect to the backup file.

  UNIX command 'mount' shows the machinery once mounted via afp: in /Volumes

  (From old Mac - should be present)

  Rich@SeagateHomeDisk._afpovertcp._tcp.local./SeagateHomeDisk%20TM%20Backup on the Volumes/SeagateHomeDisk TM Backup (afpfs, nobrowse)

  (But on the new Mac - mounts like this)

  [email protected]/SeagateHomeDisk%20TM%20Backup on the Volumes/SeagateHomeDisk TM Backup (afpfs, nodev, nosuid, ridden by rickenne)

  To verify access to the backup file, I started the old Mac and accessed fine.

  Note that I try to not to have the two machine upwards at the same time.

  Should I clean server Seagate Keychain Access permissions for the file mounted correctly?

  How is the drive connected to the network?

• Recover mail - Time Machine dates in gray

  Following a successful by Apple repair, my MacBook Pro with El Capitan is now rebuilt and everything works, including mail.

  I used to have a number of files that I used to store mail offline (family, finance, service provider, leisure, etc.)

  I have a Time Machine disk that contains data. I tried to recover by holding the Option key and selecting the right disc, but I can not go far enough - he reached on a date with a red line against it on the right side in Time Machine, but all the above dates that are grayed out (page are in gray), although I can see the date. Clicking on it does nothing.

  The disk in the Finder, I can see the files throughout the library > Mail > V2 > mailboxes > {various .mbox files}

  Given that I can see / copy, is there any way I can get them in office on the MBP please?

  Thank you

  Bob

  In Time machine the last date that is not grayed out: go to the folder 'up', the one you are in, may be still another level above, then go further back in time. then go 'down' in the folder and again until you find the records you are looking for.
