Time Machine does more work with LaCie hard drive

I've been using a LaCie 500 GB external hard drive to backup Time Machine and it works with any problem for almost month. That the player has filled, older backups have been laid as is supposed to be the case.

Now, I get a message saying that the disk is full, and that the backup has failed because there is not enough space. There are only 3.05 GB of available space, and the error message indicates that the backup drive should 4.7 GB for backup. I can't eject the disc, as the process seems to be stuck, and I can't close it. Any ideas how can I either rectify the problem or close the player and replace it with a bigger?

I'm on a desktop iMac, Yosemite running.

Contact LaCie technical support, read the user manual or post in the forums.  Better yet, since you are probably still under warranty with them, call their tech Dept support.

  • 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."

    I have a Portege M200 with the Gforce 5200Go. Since the last officially available graphics driver is the 46,44 I changed the 93.71 and installed. But the Rotation Utility does not work with this driver.

  • Y480 - laptop does not start with attached hard drive enclosure.

    My laptop started clicking and will boot LAN, so I opened it and looked at the hard drive. All seemed well, it wouldn't be fair to start. Then I removed the metal casing around it and stuck the drive in. Everything started normally. Chkdsk shows nothing wrong with the hard drive, and I'm not sure why remove the dressing would affect startup. All the thoughts/solutions?

    Blue... temporarily parts of the sponge to keep the HARD drive in place.

    and if your Y480 is still under warranty, can consult a Support technique Lenovo...

  • In time real PXI-1031 does more work with labview. "Not enough disk space to perform the backup.

    The labview real-time project was working until a few weeks ago and the only error that is displayed on the PXI is this error message.

    "NEITHER Configuration Manager: not enough disk space for the backup" everything before that looks like it starts very well. Recently, I removed the hard drive and remove the 4 GB network log file because it seemed to me that a file of 4 GB on a fat32 file system was probably the cause of the problem. After that it the project worked when I tested it, but others in my lab said it was broken again the next day.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated because I don't know all that equipment.

    I found that I had "reset IP" set to "yes" in the bios that seemed to be causing my problem because I changed it to no and it seems to work perfectly now. Sorry that it took so much time to understand and I feel like a fool.

  • Time Machine does not work after update of the Sierra

    The time function machine my Mackbook Air 2011 stopped working... it has not been saved since update for Sierra, it only take screenshots every hour, it will perform a backup is no longer on my external HD as before.

    There is no problem with the way it is implemented or the hard drive, it's me that my iMac is working perfectly since the update for Sierra and it's backup via the time machine on the same hard disk.

    It is a hard drive and put in place I was in use for about 5 years with no problems.

    Also since the update for Sierra I noticed that my MacBook Air gets hot and the fans go wild, although there was nothing or performance other than the system is auto.

    I lost the use of my built in camera after the update to El Capitan, and now I've lost the use of time machine... I was wondering if I should go back to Yosemite that everything worked well then!... is this possible?

    Thanks for any help with this!

    Update:-just so you know, time machine is to find the back up ok drive (external hard drive), it then goes to "preparing backup" and that's all, he remains in this preparation save the scene for centuries, after a while it just stops and it is saved all... nothing!

    Also noticed when I checked in Time Machine full backup I have before update for Sierra disappeared, he disappeared, been deleted... I don't know what is happening with it!

    Overall since the update for Sierra my MacBook Air did not work properly, in addition to all that Safari does not load, just to get the wheel spinning, and now (with the demise of my old back ups) it seems I can't go back to a previous state.

    My Mackbook Air took it!... the last update took the camera and really Sierra in... material not compatible with all new software, none of the new features work on my iMac or MacBook Air (only Siri), so a useless upgrade for me really, wish I didn't!

  • Search for Time Machine does not work in the mail.

    Hello

    I'm trying to retrieve/view old e-mail my Time Machine ups back. I am backup on an external hard drive.

    When I get TM since the Mail, search application 'in time' does not work. If I go TM said Finder, or from the desktop, it works fine.

    I had to reinstall my OS and am trying to update on El Capitan, (thanks to the kind assistance of AppleCare!), but in the meantime I am eager to find those old emails.

    Any suggestions please? Thank you.

    Although you can restore a snapshot of Time Machine messages in the Mail application, it usually will not work with messages that were saved by an outdated version of the mail. In this case, you must use another method.

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

    ~/Library/Mail

    Right-click or Ctrl-click on the highlighted line and select

    Services ▹ Open

    the contextual menu.* should open a folder.

    Enter Time Machine and scroll to the snapshot that you want to restore from. The folder named "Mail" are subfolders named "V2" and/or "V3" (according to the version of Mac OS X that was used at the time that the snapshot was taken.) Inside of one of these subfolders are several subfolders representing your e-mail accounts. The name refers to the email addresses that you use. Select the account folders you want and then select restore... to... in the action menu (gear icon) in the toolbar of the Snapshot window. Restore the files on the desktop and not in their original location.

    Import the mailbox in the folders that you restored to the office. The imported messages appear in a new mailbox. Move those you want to keep everywhere where you want and delete the rest. Then, delete the files on the desktop.

    * If you do not see the item context menu copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. In the Finder, select

    Go ▹ go to the folder...

    from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return.

  • Time Machine does not work after upgrade to Sierra

    The Time Machine (TM) fail to start backup and there is still "preparing backup...". "for more than an hour. This right after upgrading to Mac OS Sierra.

    Another weird thing happens to the toolbar of the Mac Mail. The Junk button is replaced by another button. trying to put back in place, but remove the button become a button.

    Please help with the backup problem mentioned above. Thank you much in advance.

    How long have you waited? After a new installation, it must be a fair while even with a SSD to prepare the first backup due to the number of modified files.

    Make sure the TM drive is in the list of items excluded from Spotlight indexing. ICloud newsletter and other cloud services.

  • Satellite P100-257 does not work with the new drive HARD WD SATA II 320 GB

    Please could someone knows how to solve my problem.
    I bought new HARD drive to upgrade my Toshiba Satellite P100-257:
    Western Digital SATA II WD3200AAKS 320 16 MB
    (Originally was installed Toshiba MK6034GSX 60 GB HARD drive)
    When installing Windows XP (from Toshiba disk recovery or all other disks), when the Installer starts copying the files to the temporary directory HDD (after HDD format) encounter a problem like "cannot write files to the HARD drive.
    I tried to format the drive before installation (even to split to 2 smaller logical drives).
    Also I have updated the BIOS at 2009-03-04.
    But nothing changes.
    What is the problem?

    Hello

    It seems that the HARD drive has been recognized because you can receive the error message about the Master Boot Record.

    I think that there is something wrong with the partitions on the HARD disk.
    I put t know how you formatted the HARD drive, but I think that you must first reinstall the operating system on a partition in order to check the functionality of the HARD drive.

    Once you have started using the Windows XP disk, try to create more than one partition and this format to NTFS. Then follow the installation of the OS!

  • Windows Update does not work after the hard drive has been replaced

    Hello
    I have the same problem, replaced in my Toshiba HD, rebuild from Sysimage, Windows Update does not work. A ran "fix the problem with the Microsoft Windows Update is not working.
    Problem still exist.
    The message that I got while trying to update: "Windows Update cannot currently check updates,
    because the service is not running. "You may need to restart you computer.
    Stop and then restart the service, still no luck.

    I ran Windows troubleshooting. He finds two problems with Windows Update components, it corrects.
    The problem still exists.

    The other post:

    Another interesting fact:
    After the reconstruction the new disk, user account control does not recognize Windows programs.
    for example: execution of Perfmon.exe, the Publisher is unknown! However, when I download the program Windows FixIt, Publisher is recognized as Microsoft Windows. It seems that user account control does not recognize the Windows programs that had found the new HD, but acknowledges those who is downloaded from the internet.
    I guess there is a problem with the license, Windows was preinstalled on the Toshiba and replace the hard drive could have caused a few conflicts of licensing.

    The same problem. Cloned old HD on a larger hard drive. Everything worked perfectly except NO indexing and update WITHOUT windows - the two recurring problems that seem to appear on the forums after a change of hard disk.

    INDEXING resolved with change to "Intel rapid storage technology." Google what I put in quotes, choose the Download Center and get the specific to your OP and the controller software.

    UPDATES have been a little more frustrating. The microsoft .fixes and convenience stores were without help.

    Go to control panel / system and Maintenance / administration tools

    Select Services

    Stop the Background Intelligent Transfer Service

    Stop Windows Update

    In 'My Computer' go to Windows / Software Distribution

    Right-click "DataStore" folder. Rename it to Datastore.old

    Rename the folder 'Download' Download.old

    Return to Services and restart the Background Intelligent Transfer Service and Windows Update.

    Look for the updates. It will take some time because you deleted the database.

    I hope this helps!
