  I found that if it becomes necessary to use time machine to return to an earlier existence to reinstall the iphoto library, if for some reason, you lose lose, then when you try to synchronize your ipad is not recognized by the computer.  So when you try to synchronize the pictures, they are all removed from the ipad and trying to reinstall everything again.

  This may or may not work immediately.  In my case, only half the photos have been installed, and then the error message came that the rest of 9000 can be installed.

  I contacted Apple support team who has made various suggestions.  Subsequently clicking on a photo list in iTunes were all going again and pictures of 9000 then installed.  When I asked the support team what could happen I was told that it was a "glitch".  I don't like seeds they mean that there could be an error in coding somewhere.

  Here me again.  I use an iMac and iPad.  I don't know why XP and iPhone came.

• Time Machine restore failed

  Hi people,

  This dragged on for days now so I need your help to repair what is currently a brick that cost a couple of grand.

  I had my logic board & battery replaced in my mid 2015 MBP 250 GB.

  I'm trying to restore my computer using Time Machine.

  I ran into a number of difficulties.

  First, I tried to restore from the latest backup.

  Estimated to take 8hours.

  He failed.

  I tried again.

  He failed because he now says that the backup has been used by another machine.

  It was mine!

  That solved by restarting my computer and restarting the Airport Extreme, Time Capsule.

  Down to the low bar show my back upwards.

  It failed after only 30 minutes or more.

  I read the fantastic troubleshooting guide, which seems to indicate that the new logic board is time machine it's a new computer.

  I have a problem with that.

  I got my MBP passing an MBA (when I bought it) upward.

  Worked well.

  The work during the night.

  Next maybe useless idea was to get any glitches OSX went with a fresh OSX install and do a restore from time machine after that?

  So, my next attempt was to do a fresh install of OSX El Capitan.

  Until now this process should take 5 days! Seriously!

  I'm afraid to look at tomorrow incase it extends to a month or something!

  What should I do?

  When a card is replaced, unless it is flashed with the old serial number, it is a new machine that is where your problem is.

  If repair has been to an Apple store, resume and get them fixed.

  If this was done at an authorized service center, resume and have them repaired. If they do not, contact Apple.

• I've never done a Time Machine backup and I have upgraded to iOS Sierra. Help!

  I'm a fool. After owning my Macbook for 5 years, I failed to make a single Time Machine backup. I just saved my essential to an external hard drive. I have upgraded to iOS Sierra. Big mistake. I want to go back to iOS Capitan, but it does not seem possible. Now, my external hard drive is wiped clean (things are dark). What are my options? If I'm stuck with Sierra?

  If you have downloaded El Capitan, it should always be available in your purchases. Now, you will need to make a backup to backup your personal files.

• macOS Sierra stuck on the Time Machine backup

  Its been 2 weeks now since I updated to macOS Sierra and my Time Machine backup is always stuck on "preparing backup" and I tried different disc backup on another partition but still no luck.

  Make sure that:

  o drive the TM is excluded from Spotlight indexing non-mandatory;

  o that all software anti-virus is disabled (especially Sophos);

  o journal of iCloud and other cloud services.

  o check this article: macOS Sierra: If Time Machine still at the stage of "preparation"

• 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.

• Time machine backup is too large, that is not true, said

  After the upgrade to OS Sierra, Time Machine always tells me that the backup is too big to fit on the external drive that I use. I erased the disc and checked all volumes, I don't want to back up. He always tells me that the backup is 2 TB.

  My boot drive has 155 GB in use, I do not understand why TM attempts to use 2 TB. I've removed the preferences, he always tells me that it is too big. The external drive has 1 TB of free space.

  Any suggestions?

• Delete older backups time machine from the server

  I have a small number of iMacs here that back up using Time Machine on our local network to an external hard drive on an iMac running server. I added a second external hard drive and I say most of the Mac to use instead. Once they have saved once the new drive safely - how can I remove the old backup of the first disc? Is it safe to just delete the sparsebundle to it? Or is there a way to do it properly

  TIA

  Andy

  Yes, it is safe to delete the sparsebundle in the old media from backup after you remove as the backup location and create your 1st upward on the new location. Since your iMac is now pointing to the new backup media, they are more associated in the former. If you have no other Mac backup on old media, you can simply reformat.

• Time Machine - how to change discs

  Hello

  Until now, I had time Machine using external HD_1 external drive. I just bought a new drive, external HD_2. I'd like Time Machine to begin to use external HD_2 while the addition of new backups to existing backups database.

  My question is: How can I transfer the backup database that is currently on HD_1 to HD_2? Do, I just have:

  -stop time Machine

  -in the Finder, move the folder of backups from one volume to another database

  -to tell Time Machine to use HD_2 and reboot

  or are there other complications - for example I'll end up with 2 databases disconnected backups - I need?

  Thanks in advance.

• Mac OSx Sierra Time Machine WD my cloud

  Since upgrading to Mac OSX Sierra my Macbook Pro and Macbook Air are not capable of doing Time Machine back Ups to a WD MyCloud drive that is connected to our router.

  We have updated the firmware on the WD My Cloud drive to the latest version and contacted WD on this problem, so far they have not come with a solution to the problem.

  If you open Time Machine preferences and then observe what happens, by hitting 'Back Up Now' systems do "Looking to save the disc" then "Preparing backup" then stop and then go back to the status of 'rest' without backup anything to the top at all. It is the same on both machines. You can see here: Time Machine Back Up My Cloud

  Notice how the drive icon changes to the point where it stops working and then goes to the other drive which is a USB.

  Now, to complicate the issue further... an iMac connected via Ethernet to the router can go back to the My Cloud drive perfectly as before. If Apple changed something with the wireless protocols I think but that?

  Hi stevefrompembury,

  Thanks for posting in the Community Support from Apple! I understand that your or your Mac back up Time machine since the update. Backups are certainly crucial to ensure that your data remains secure, so I'm happy to offer some suggestions.

  You have already tried a few milestones. I recommend you take a look through this article so that you have covered all the steps mentioned, including the section titled 'Control your readers': If you can not back up or restore your Mac with Time Machine

  See you soon!

• Time Machine restore problems

  Me again... still to try to recover my drive hard because I tried to make the Boot Camp.

  In preparation for boot from the external drive, I had a cool time machine backup of the system. The system was Captain El.

  When I started pressing cmd + R to choose the way to go, I entered the utilities disk and tried to format/erase the existing partitions so that one new partition could be created, and then I use boot camp to install windows again.

  Somehow after I did that and came back to restore options the system reported it no were not available to boot from the boot floppies and asked me to tie a boot disk. Having no other than the old drive boot disk that I had replaced out of the computer when he was a Maverick, I used as a startup disk and go to revive the position and where I chose what to do.

  When I choose now to restore from the external drive that has my time backup machine El captain on this program trying to install for a bit, and then he told me that ' year error occurred during the addition of a system of recovery on the destination disk. It then asks me to restart to get rid of the problem, and of course the problem won't go away.

  If I choose to reset the computer he'll want to maverick. I agree with going back that far and punting again and I'll probably have to do this because it appears that I have no other choice. I hope that I can install Maverick and then restore my El Captain off the external drive.

  Hello Farzad_K,

  Thanks for asking for help with Time Machine here in Apple Support communities. I am pleased to offer you things to check this.

  Since your Mac is fairly new, I recommend first start in recovery of the Internet. Here is the article on this subject: on Mac OS recovery. I know it says it's the Sierra, but the steps are the same for El Capitan. Use the second set of instructions for the recovery of the Internet with the keys: command ⌘ ⌥ (alt) Option and the letter R.

  For this with the drive installed that you want to install OS X El Capitan to. If you have changed to the older readers with the Mavericks, switch back, and then run the recovery of the Internet. This will fix your hard drive and then allows you to install the operating system from Apple servers. Then you can restore the backup, or try to run a Migration Wizard using this help article: move your content to a new Mac.

  Thanks again and relax your day wonderful.

  I am on a MacBook Pro mid 2012, Yeosmite 10.10.5, I want to switch to Sierra and am nervous to do when I had a terrible experience upgrade to Yosemite, support with gratitude by Apple in charge.  I have everything backed up on Time Machine. Are there steps of preparation I need to do before you download and upgrade to Sierra.  Can you please advise me please?

  N ° so you have a backup if something goes wrong you can return to Yosemite.

  Only concern is that some devices, including USB that may require the updated drivers, but these records are not always available

  This is the Office Mac Pro forum. I asked that your post moved to the forum of laptop MacBook Pro or another appropriate forum.
