• Time capsule flashes yellow

  Are some time I noticed that my time capsule was blinking yellow.  The wireless seems to operate normally.  I got a new router to comcast, but the same problem occurred; Unplug/plug-ins, it research and find the router and will stabilize green.  But after about a day, I noticed that it goes back to the flashing yellow. I had this time capsule for almost a year and it has worked perfectly until about a month.

  Also I'm not sure if it's back up correctly.  When you use the icon to open the capsule of the 'last backup Time Capsule' and the next line down giving the time backup last letters are light gray.  Other information is normal dark letters.  Is this normal?

  Exactly this modem do you have?

  Some modems only port are causing problems.

  If you changed your modem to modem router or vice versa, you must reset the TC factory and redo his configuration.

  When you use the icon to open the capsule of the 'last backup Time Capsule' and the next line down giving the time backup last letters are light gray.

  It is gray, because it is information, not a command... you can not change the information.

  When you open TM, you will immediately see if the backup works. She should have made a backup, an hour before.

  I'm writing this at 16:37. When I check the time when backup TM is less than an hour ago.

• Time flashing yellow capsule

  I recently changed the router mesh Eero because I had so much trouble with buffering on my TV at the other end of the House.  My time capsule is now just for backups, which seems to do OK.  It is connected to the main Eero router via ethernet.

  But it flashes yellow.  I can't 'see' it more under the airport utility (probably because he is not involved in the wifi; I think I have to reset it somehow to get the WiFi "nine."  But how?  Thanks in advance.

  Let's find out why the yellow light flashes.

  Connect an Ethernet cable from your Mac directly to one of the three <>- on the Time Capsule Ethernet ports LAN.

  Temporarily disable WiFi on Mac

  Open AirPort Utility on your Mac... (Finder > Applications > utilities > AirPort Utility)

  Click on the image of the Time Capsule

• I can restore a new Macbook Pro with a 128 MB flash usung a drive backup time Machine 1 TB?

  My Macbook Pro 2009 with a 1 TB drive is dead. I bought a new Macbook Pro 13 "early 2015 with 128 MB of memory Flash.

  How can I use the 1 TB time machine backup restore the new MAC?

  Yes, but most likely you can not restore everything and will need to be selective about what should be restored because very probably a full restoration would take more than 100 GB and you need a free storage space so that you can not fill up the drive

  Otherwise, technical support should work with you to solve the problem under warranty on this system.

Then you can try reseating the RAM and PCI-e cards modules and cables between motherboard and drives and connection etc. Don't forget to read the instructions on the inside of your PC use in the manual before opening the case.

• Time Machine hangs on the Application file that I deleted

  Hello:

  I'm doing a new installation on my parents computer because Flash Player was completely broken somehow. I can't uninstall or update.

  This isn't my problem right away well. Their backup disk was on his last breath so that I had to get a new and Time Machine hangs first various office applications, which I excluded, now it's of iDVD. I tried that it excludes everything first, but Time Machine has always tried to save. Given that my parents don't use it and it is no longer supported then I thought to uninstall. I deleted the program and demand corresponding is support the file and did a search in the Finder for all of the remaining files. No, zip.

  However, Time machine is still backing up files which I can't find for the life of me. He would make iDVD themes 1, 2, 3, etc. I can't exclude in Time Machine because he's not here. I deleted the partial backups each time and it keeps immediately suspended 19,25 GB on iDVD.

  Please, Please help. I spent a ridiculous amount of time is already and should just get this done.

  I look forward to all points of view.

  Thank you

• Time Machine blocked preparation backup

  Hi community

  Time Machine, I get the iMac to backup, Time Capsule 371 GB of the preparation phase of backup available 998 GB for one eternity, as others have reported.

  My system is an iMac (27-inch, late 2009), processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7, 12 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 Memory with an ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 MB video card and a physical disk internal 1 TB ST31000528AS Sata media.

  My last backup was September 16, 2016 @ 1257 GMT and my software was the last version of El Capitan.  (I backup to another external HARD drive, using Carbon Copy Cloner and backup guru Mac unfortunately I don't have a big enough other ext HDD to run a time Machine backup to as well).

  When the TC is connected I can see the iMac and iMac.sparsebundle backup folder and when I enter the time Machine I can see the chronology running back from 16 Sep and it allows me to access the files in the folders.  So, I guess that the disk HARD of TC is OK.

  Software changes have been: 1 MS a copy of CCleaner Free 1.14.451, 2 Ms Security Update 2016-001, 13 Sep Adobe Flash, 14 Sep 12.5.1, 16 Sep Digital Camera RAW compatibility update iTunes.  Never had a problem before with these downloads.  Safari updated September 20, then to Sierra 22 Sep having saved first using the CCC and MBG.

  Through the various pages of help through Google.  Follow-up advice given to reset the SMC and the PRAM, deleted Sophos home and com.apple.TimeMachine.plist and com.apple.TimeMachine.plist.lockfile.

  Rebooted and restarted the iMac and Time Capsule several times, done many backups check the reset even the time Capsule disk, but all without success.

  I'm still stuck in preparation of backup when I reselect the backup drive.

  Can someone help please?

  Finally, I had a problem in 2014 when Apple recalled the iMac to a HARD drive replacement program.  This was successful, but a few days later the Time Machine and time Capsule would not save.  This is due to the component change when the UUID was different.  The advice I would have given were to know how inherit backup and controls disk associated within the Terminal. Stupidly, I started again when the TC asked me to and then discovered the Terminal commands a few days later.  The loss of backups of 4 years was no big problem, so I suppose that if I have to, I won't again unless a member of the smart community can better advise me please?

  Good community

  I forgot to tell you that I save on a Capsule of 1 GB bought in 2010 with the iMac.

  Don't know how, but not before I finished posting my above query Time Machine kicked back in action and performed a backup pick up all the changes, about 50 GB since Sept. 16.

  He did once again this morning, so I'm sorry I can't post what Time Machine and my Time Capsule due action to act properly.

• new time machine snapshots copied to the old directory of the machine not recognized

  I had a time Capsule 2 TB which showered, and I started a new backup (a USB key) by mode Apple drive. It took me a while to return to deal with the old clichés left on my Time Capsule. I found nothing specific online to tell me how to deal with this, so I made a few decisions naïve. I've disabled the Time Machine, renamed my new store backup and copied over the old store backup on the new backup drive time Capsule. Then in a Terminal on the command line, I mvhad snapshot directories in the newly copied backup of the old backup store store renamed folder. NOTE: On this site, I learned about a Time Machine of assistance called bypasscommand, and I needed to use it to move the Flash files in the command line:

  $ sudo mv 2016-09-17-211302 /System/Library/Extensions/TMSafetyNet.kext/Contents/Helpers/bypass.

  .. /.. /Backups.BackupDB/MyMachine /

  At this point, I thought: well, now, I have all my old and new pictures in the active backup store on the local USB drive. Then I turned on the Time Machine, and the first backup failed:

  "An error occurred during the file copying. The problem may be temporary. If the problem persists, use disk utility to repair your backup disk. »

  Then I noticed that Finder shows only most original snapshots while in the Terminal, I see all snapshots using the ls command. All snapshots have the same names in fashion and the owner/group permissions. So, why don't Finder shows all snapshots and why is Time Machine unhappy?

• How can I partition my external drive? (Time Machine)

  Hello

  Time Machine doesn't accept my external drive (Seagate Backup Plus thin, 2 TB). It takes the format: "Mac OS extended (journaled):

  

  So I searched Google and found out, that I have to partition the external flash drive.

  So I opened the disk utility. But then I can't partition:

  

  What can I do? I really need to use Time Machine.

  My laptop: MacBook Air, 13', mid 2013

  Thanks for the responses,

  Tlumi

  The drive must be formatted with a GUID partition map, your's with a Master Boot record.

  

  You can copy the content to the Seagate to your mac and format it correctly, partition and copy the data back?

• Questions of Time Machine

  I have a MacBookPro Retina Display 2012, running OS X 10.11.6.

  I tried to use Time Machine to back up this system (a single) on TWO external drives.  Lately, I am having some problems.  In other words, when I try to restore, or even to find a file, I get the erratic results.  For example, earlier today, I selected a file I have to restore a previous version on my system, then entered in Time Machine.  Alas, after 'today,' Time Machine seems to see NO file in this directory, although as the graph moves in time, I'LL see quick flashes of the text, which means that the files are there...   It gets weirder, but before we get too deep, thought I would ask this:

  Time Machine CAN store up to TWO external drives?  If the answer is no, then I probably have the answer.

  Thoughts?  (and thanks)

  Fred

  Fred,

  I'll assume you're is not at the same time on two external drives, but rather a back up to a disk which is then disconnected and replaced by another reader for use with Time Machine.

  While I'm not personally Time machine running with two external drives, I know people who did this. The danger is that it can become confusing for the user, and I'm sure you want to make sure that each volume names are distinct in order to keep track from backup is which.

  Make sure your TC has no ID configuration inside apple. There is a bug at the moment that Apple introduced recently.

  I highly recommend a clean installation with short names etc.

  Universal factory reset

  Turning off the TC... That is, remove the power supply cord or the power at the wall outlet, wait 10 seconds... Hold the reset button... be nice... Turn on always even now in reset... and keep holding in for another 10 seconds. You may need assistance because it is difficult to hold in reset and power on. It will show the success quickly flashing led front. Release reset... and wait a few minutes for the TC to reset and return with the factory settings. If the front LED flashes quickly you missed and simply try again. The reset is quite fragile in these... Press the key while it is just click away and not more... I've seen people bend lever or even break. I use a toothpick as a tool.

  NB. None of your files on the hard drive of the TC are removed... This simply clears the settings of the router of the TC.

  The installer the TC.

  Then redo the configuration of the computer that you want to use for TM using Airport utility.

  1. the use of very short names... NO APPLE RECOMMENDED names. Without the space and pure alphanumeric characters.

  for example TCgen5 for the base station and the name of the TCwifi wireless.

  If the wireless is still an issue defined wireless names like TC24ghz and assigned the 5 GHz other name... for example. TC5ghz

  2. use all passwords also consistent with 1. but maybe a little longer. IE 8 and 20 characters of mixed cases and numbers... no alphanumeric non-caracteres.

  ** 3. If the TC is router, you can ignore this point. It is only a problem when the TC is bridged.

  If ensure that the TC is always the same IP address... you will need to do this on the main router using a dhcp reservation... or a bit more complex setup by using the static IP address in the TC.

  Ignore this point if you don't understand it... after the return if you drop questions.

  4. be sure that IPv6 is set correctly in the computer. IE link-local only for ethernet or wireless depending on whether you are using. Car is not good enough.
