Time Machine error message wants to delete all backups

Is there a way to delete older backups? I am able to see them in my time Machine, but I get this error when I try to save "Time Machine has conducted an audit of your backups on"PersonalCloud". To improve reliability, Time Machine must create a new backup for you. Click Start a new backup to create a new backup. This will remove your existing backup history. This may take several hours. »

Is it possible to keep the information contained in the previous backups?

I have not saved within months because of this error message.

I'm running 10.11.4 and was backing through Wifi to a Seagate Personal Cloud

Is it possible to keep the information contained in the previous backups?

N ° you have lost all your backups.

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.)

  • How can I locate the folder where my backup files are stored on my internal hard drive? I want to delete all backup files

    operating system is windows vista laptop.

    I went into system restore settings and couldn't find how to locate my saved files. I think they take a LOT of space, I deleted all other unused files and I have more than 6 GB of free space out of 67 concert. Help, please? I don't know much about computers at all.

    Hello

    Follow the method of deleting a file of older backup using sub steps and check later if the problem persists.

    (a) open backup and restore by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, click system and Maintenanceand then clicking backup and restore.

    (b) click on Manage space. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    (c) to delete older backups of files under that data backup file, click on view backups.

    You can then select the backups of files that you want to delete, which will free up disk space. Remove an entry in the list will not affect the other backups. If you think that you don't need one version of your files from a certain backup period, you can delete that backup. We recommend that you always keep the most recent backup.

  • I created a message to multiple recipients, but now I want to delete * all * of them - how?

    This seems to be a common problem, but I can't find a quick way to do (38.4 TBird on 10 to win).

    I create a message and add many recipients. After a few changes, I realize I want to only one recipient. How can I remove all the recipients of the message, rather than delete them one after another after another?

    Here's a slightly different version of the question - I create a new message to multiple recipients, but later I realize I need to do the BCC recipients, then addresses do not appear in each message. I can't find a way to change them all at once, I can change only one at a time. I would be happy to all delete them and add names such as BCC, but see my first question! Thank you, I wonder if I am missing a simple technique.

    question 1: the address close button add-on offers a close or delete X in each box of the address. Not quite all-at-once, but easier than the selection and removal of addresses.

    2nd question: the use of the Bcc instead Add on is adjustable and you harass, or page on Bcc automatically, and it offers in bulk to Cc/BCC/switching.

  • Mailing address: restore from time machine sent messages

    Recently, I changed my work for a long time to POP IMAP email account.  While I made sure that I have archived all incoming messages, I didn't "Sent" messages would be affected.  They seem to have disappeared.

    Everything must have been saved on Time Machine.  What is the best way to restore old items sent, so I can ideally their search for Mail?  Can I put them in a sent items folder, so I can get all my accounts at the same time?

    As I check iMap messages to extract the server, do I need to archive messages sent at the same time?  Or can I leave them in my combined "sent" folder.

    Thank you!

    Move messages sent to a folder "on my Mac".

  • Eception Exception blackBerry Smartphones: registry of applications wait to time-out Error Messages - BB 8703e

    OK, I hope someone here can help me a bit more then US Cellular has done so far to this problem without end.

    This problem started after I updated my BB device software and application of book of face over the weekend.  Since that time my BB will not receive any what data signal, but I can make phone calls always after confirmation of many Eception Exception: Registry Application wait Timeout Error Messages. Until they start again to come.

    Here are the steps that I tried to fix this problem

    • Remove the battery, and then restart your computer
    • Load up the Blackberry Manager to restore the setting - BB Manager seems to not even see more when I connect it.
    • U.S. Cellular has already tried reloading software BB device again

    Has anyone ever fallen on this or a similar problem like this and found a solution to this?

    If Yes please let me know.  I don't want to end up carrying around some basic cell phones again.  I'm already addicted to my crackberry.

    TIA

    I fixed the problem of trial and error, a few hours ago.

    For starters, US Cellular had to lie for wipe me the disc of BB and starting over.  because if they did I would not see all the error messages still after they claimed that the BB has been wiped.  In other words, after I wiped the drive of BB all the error messages disappeared.

    Regarding the data plan, yes my company has a data plan on this BB.  The blinking light just does more.  Not much for me, as long as the data coming

    I Wibdows 8.1 with a new installoed want 4502 all-in-in-one. It will print perfectly, then the operating system sends an error message that the casting of the page is not printed. I say I'm getting low on black ink supply, but it seems to have been a lot.  The text of the message is about "error in printing on printer Envy 4500 - could not print (document source, Windows, Outlook, etc.).

  • Time Machine Error - backup failed

    Hello

    I get "could not complete back, an error occurred when creating the backup folder"-I have an iMac with an Iomega eGo external hard drive. I checked the previous discussions about this and can not solve. What should I do?

    Please take each of the following steps that you have not already tried until the problem is resolved.

    1. disconnect, then reconnect the drive.

    2. in the menu bar, select

    ▹ System Preferences Energy Saver power adapter ▹ ▹ 

    and uncheck the box marked

    Put the hard drives to sleep when possible

    If it is checked.

    3. some external drives ignore setting the energy saver and turn down in any case. The 'KeepDriveSpinning' of the Director Jon Stovell application can help in this matter. (Credit to ASC member dsrtmacusr for this solution).

    4. If the drive is connected to a hub, connect it to a port built into the computer. If it is already connected to a built-in port, and there is another such port, use.

    5. If the player has more than one deck (for example, FireWire and USB), try another.

    6. check the Web site of the provider of the car for an update of the firmware.

    7 contact the seller to see if there is a firmware setting, you can change.

    8. If you have installed the provider for the reader software, uninstall it.

    9. triple - click anywhere in the line below on this page to select this option:

    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist

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

    Services ▹ reveal in Finder (or just to reveal)

    in the context menu. A Finder window should open with a selected file. Copy the file to the desktop. Then he (the original, not the copy) move to the trash. You will be asked for your administrator password. Restart the computer and re-create your settings in the Time Machine preferences window. It will show you that you have no backups. Don't worry; which is expected. Perform a backup to test. The backup can take much longer than usual. If TM now works as expected, delete the file that you copied to the desktop.

    10. If none of the steps above resolves the problem, the drive may be defective. Try another. You may be able to save an external drive mechanism by installing it in a different pen.
