Time Machine does not register the last backups

In Time Machine preferences, it signals that the last backup is June 2, but when I go to Time Machine I don't see what

which seems to be backups in recent days.  How do both to sync to declare the same data?

  • Assuming that your profile information is correct, OS X update to the latest version: How can I update to OS X and Mac apps - Apple Support.
  • If you do not already done, simply connect / again or restart your Mac.
  • If you back up the contents of the source that lies in the external devices, make sure they are all operational, mounted and available.
  • If the last time information and the date are still incorrect, continue with the steps below.
  1. Confirm that a backup is not already underway. Then, scroll down to 'Add or remove backup disk... '. "and select it. Choose 'Data' and then delete.
    • If everything works as it should, this will not affect your existing backup history. However, if you have done this until now it is not working as it should, and in an abundance of caution you should consider creating an additional, redundant backup first. If you work with the data that you just can't live without, that a backup is not enough in any case, even if everything works perfectly.
  2. Then select the drive again, connect you and choose 'Back Up Now' in the Time Machine menu bar icon.
    • If you have added previously any exclusion of the element (under the 'Options... button "), you will need to add.
  3. Time Machine will take a lot of time while it makes a 'deep event' scan to determine which files need to be backed up. Meanwhile "preparing backup...". ' appears in Time Machine preferences.
  4. When the "scan deep event" is over, Time Machine will perform a normal incremental backup, which will have the usual amount of time.

That should correct the erroneous information.

  • 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 wants to inherit the last backup I did on the same computer

    I made a backup for a while (6 months).  At the start of time machine, I get a box asking if I want to inherit the history of backups from another computer.  The problem is that the backup was not made on another computer... earlier versions have been but not the last one...

    Do I need to worry about this? Something is wrong with my computer or the last backup or should I go ahead and inherit the backup?

  • 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!

  • Backup does not recognize the previous backup CD

    When you click on backup:

    1. backup does not recognize the last backup cd. The only beginning of path to create a shadow copy backup is to insert a blank disc. How can I fix it?

    2 ive run backup from one day to the next day while he created a cliché. In the morning, it is only 1/5 complete suggesting that it is not working properly. I canceled the backup. How can I fix it?

    3. If I try to do another backup he asks the cd of your previous (cancelled backup) despite the fact that it was cancelled and the cds do not exist. How to reset to ask these latest records backup?

    Since then, I have downloaded all windows updates but the problem persis

    Thank you, Kel

    You mean by cliché, creation of backup image, right? Shadow copy volume is not Windows Backup.

    If you canceled the backup Windows is trying to finish the last backup. It's normal.

    All over again, trying to backup in a different medium, an external HARD drive.

    At first is a stop at the backup in progress"

    1. Restart the computer
    2. Run as administrator command prompt and run this: wbadmin stop job
    3. Typing sdclt.exe in command prompt and click on change settings
    4. Connect your external HARD drive or DVD
    5. If changing the settings is not available, then click on set up automatic file backup
    I hope that it will work. Please let me know the results to help others.

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

    • 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 machine could not complete the backup of... The backup disk image could not be found (error (null))

    Running OS 10.11.3 on my early 2011 Macbook Pro 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 with 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, use Time Machine to back up to my Airport 802.11ac purchased 16/09/2014:

    Backup failed: Time Machine could not complete the backup of... Airport Time Capsule.   The backup disk image ' / Volume/Data/MacBookPro.sparsebundle ' could not be found (error (null)).   Last successful backup: yesterday at 12:17

    I can see the airport and the data file in my network.

    I immediately did a full time Machine backup on a USB key and it disconnected from my system.

    I unplugged the airport, let it rest for a minute and returned the power plug, let it settle for a green light.  I'm restarting Time Machine backup to the airport.

    I need to replace the airport?  The appliance starts to fail?  Or, it is more likely is a problem with winter static electricity that has damaged the image and reconstruction will fix all this.  Reconstruction will take about four hours with no guarantee that it will work.

  • Time Machine could not complete the backup

    Since installing a Superdrive replacement, Time Machine is not back up.  I get an error message that says: 'Time Machine could not complete the backup "Time Machine backup disk. Full backup impossible. An error occurred during the creation of the backup folder. »

    I followed the instructions in the Time Machine error - backup failed, but none of the steps solved my problem.

    I suggest that visit you Time Machine FAQ of Pondini helps with Time Machine. It is a vast site with almost everything that you need for using Time Machine.

  • Time Machine could not complete the backup-backup drive is not found

    I get a message...

    "Time machine could not complete the backup to Time Capsule

    I can't find the backup disk. Make sure that the backup disk is connected, or select a different backup disk. »

    I have not had this problem before, it's all connected...

    If you have not already made a comprehensive network feeding cycle, it would be a good basic troubleshooting step.

    To turn off some appliances, you actually pull the plug on the appliance.

    Turn off all devices on your network, computers, routers, modem, printers, mobile devices, etc... in any order you want

    Wait a minute

    Turn on the modem and let it run for 2-3 minutes by itself

    Switch on the device connected to a modem and let run for a minute

    Keep turn on devices one at a time about a minute apart, until the entire network is back

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Mozilla, your last update does not include the last cert of intermediaries of extended validation from Verisign, Symantec class 3 EV SSL CA - G2, please fix ASAP

    Your last update of firefox, Mozilla does not include the last cert of intermediaries of extended validation from Verisign, Symantec class 3 EV SSL CA - G2, please fix ASAP

    Firefox never includes the intermediate certificates.
    It is the responsibility of a server to include all the intermediate certificate required to make it possible to build a certificate chain that ends with a trusted root certificate embedded.

    Note that Firefox automatically records the intermediate certificates that servers send in certificates for future use Manager (they appear labelled as 'Software security device' in the References tab).
    If a server does not send a complete certificate chain then you get an untrusted error when Firefox has stored missing intermediate certificates to visit a server in the past that a send it, but you get an untrusted error if this intermediate certificate is not yet registered.
