• A few days, I bought a mac mini which I transferred the data and programs with time machine: programs have been updated except for iMovie, and now it seems that I have to pay for the update: possible? What I am doing wrong?

  A few days ago, I bought a mac mini and I transferred all my data and programs with time machine: all programs have been updated but iMovie (7.1.4)... However, it seems that, to update to the latest version, I have to pay to download on Appstore: is it possible? what I am doing wrong?

  If it were a new mac mini, you need already installed 10.1 iMovie.  Otherwise, but you already have iMovie 9 registered version to your Apple ID, you can upgrade to version 10 for free, but if (as it appears) is an earlier version then you have to buy version 10.

• Flashing orange, but connected

  I have an Airport Extreme, iMac, and iPhones.  Comcast Internet.  I just moved and reinstalled and everything worked fine until I made a change with my phone and then I lost Internet.  After hours of frustration with Comcast, I got a new router to Comcast and wireless bridge is enabled.  I am connected to the Internet and I can print wirelessly, but light on Airport Extreme amber remains and it flashes even though I have a connection.

  Also, my iPhone is not able to connect to Airport extreme

  Something is not quite here...  Suggestions?

  The flashing light indicates something requires your attention.  To determine what that could be, open AirPort Utility and click on the yellow "flag" which will probably be displayed next to the image of Airport Extreme.  Then come back here, please and what you find.

  Time Machine is a software on your Mac that is used to back up your Mac in a time Capsule, which is material.

  So, chances are, it's your Time Capsule which is orange flashing.  The time Capsule and other routers Apple shows a yellow light flashing when a parameter must be adjusted.

  To find out why your Time Capsule is flashing orange...

  On your Mac, open Finder > Applications > utilities > AirPort Utility

  Click on the image of the Time Capsule

  Look for the status setting in the window that appears

• Flashing orange battery

  I just replaced the battery in my Inspiron B120.  I was told on the condition of the battery to run out and then recharge it fully three times.  On the second cooldown, I noticed the start battery light flashes orange while it was still plugged.  It is green initially (in the manual), then flashing green (also by the manual), but then started flashing orange.  I unplugged it and it stopped.  He had charged the battery to 98% when I turned on the computer, it seems that it is supported correctly.  I never had the clear orange come with my first battery, it's brand new and I have not been able to find an answer to why he does.  The manual States it should blink orange when the battery is low and not trendy.  For me, the computer is plugged and charge and the orange light comes on.

  Does anyone have an idea why this is happening? Is there something wrong with the new battery I bought?

  I had the same problem.  From the start of my computer, I got a message saying that the battery was charging is more then I need to update bios driver.  I did it and it started to load again.  Google update driver bios for depending on your computer model and download the update.  After running it and accept the terms of service, it will automatically update and you should be able to load it again.  I know this is six years, but this info is for anyone who is experiencing this issue.  You may not replace the battery at all that I thought I might have to.

• Sierra Time Machine / Time Capsule problem

  After installation of Sierra, I am unable to use Time Machine to a Time Capsule.

  There was a MacBook Air with two bootable partitions. The partition Macintosh HD has a system of Yosemite and the score of 'second' was a partition of El Capitan, which was created by a clean install and then allow Migration Wizard copy on Macintosh HD, all accounts, settings, networks and other files. The two partitions have been saved by Time Machine to a Time Capsule. The Macintosh HD partition has been erased and Sierra has been installed on Macintosh HD and Migration Wizard was allowed to copy during the second all accounts, settings, networks, and other files.

  Time machine has not worked since. It gets the error message 'no available backup drive.' However, using the Finder, I can get the time Capsule, open the sparsebundle and see all the individual backups. Because I had erased Macintosh HD, I went through the steps to http://pondini.org/TM/B6.html 'reconnect to my backups. Which made no difference (probably because Time Machine is not really see her driving the sparsebundle to the Time Capsule, even if the Finder does no harm to open it).

  Then I tried to select again the Capsule as the backup drive. It asks for a password. I give the password and shortly after it comes up with the error message: 25299 Keychain error when creating a system keychain to the URL entry and the user name '< name >' "afp: / / < name > @2%20Tb%20Time%20Capsule._afpovertcp._tcp.local./Data.

  (where < name > is the name of the logged-in user) I get the same error message if the user is an independent Director. Despite saying that it was not able to create an entry in the system Keychain, Keychain Access shows that there is an entry with the password. In addition, despite being unable to choose as the backup drive time Capsule, he mounted and left on the desk, the time Capsule (containing the sparsebundle) data folder.

  Any suggestions?

  You are the second today with errors of Keychain.

  Time machine on network not connection

  Sierra is a new OS will have a few bugs... but I think that the way you did this configuration is problematic.

  Actually, you have now two partitions with different BONES, but they will have identical computer names (migration has more the name). And it could also spoil the UUID of the disc.

  I guess, but I would say

  1. change the name of the computer.

  2. start a new backup... do not try and link the existing backup.

  3. If you still have no success Delete TM (A4 Pondini) plist and reconfigure.

  No post luck returns.

• Time Machine on separate partitions

  Hi all!

  I have my MBP partitioned into two - Snow Leopard on one side and the Mavericks on the other. I had Time Machine enabled on both, with the other partition is excluded from the backup. Earlier, I realized that I'm not sure if it was a good idea, because they were all two backup on the same drive. This would cause problems for backups?

  In addition, go ahead, if I simply save the Mavericks score and include the Snow Leopard partition in the back, would I be able to restore the data from the partition of Snow Leopard if something went wrong? (i.e., having to restore from the backup because an error or I need to repartition)

  Thank you!

  It is not ideal to have several backups on the same drive, but if the drive has not failed yet, then you can separate the backups on different drives. Time Machine creates his ' own structure so that it backs up, so your current backup drive will have two separate Time Machine backups. If you click on the backup drive, you would see two separately listed TM backups.

  You do not want to do this way "simply to save the Mavericks score and include the Snow Leopard partition in the back to the top". It would make it harder to get the files to the partition of Snow Leopard, while you're booted from it.

  You could get another drive to separate backups?

  Remember, all things have a life cycle and death comes to all things.

• Impossible to 'create' Time Machine backup service

  I have Mac OS x Server v 5.1.7 running on a Mac mini (2.7 Ghz core i7, 8 GB RAM, mid-2011)) with OSX El Captain (10.11.6).

  When I try to add a folder to use as the destination for my backups Time Machine, the button 'create' on the next screen does nothing!

  

  How can I diagnose what is the error (if any?) and how can I work around this?

  OK, I've been searching and I found everything about TIME MACHINE on these forums, but my question is still not answered.  My suspicion for why my attempt is a failure is due to the fact that the drive mounted by the mac mini is formatted with NTFS and mounted using Tuxera NTFS for Mac. How can I confirm this? If it is true, is it documented for OSX Server Anywhere? Why is there not an error message or something to help me?

• To access the backups Time Machine another computer

  I have spent a good hour looking for a solution to this problem, but have developed empty-handed.

  If I understand correctly, backups of access from another Mac time Machine, I need to connect the backup drive to another Mac and select "Browse Other Time Machine disks... "in the Time Machine dock menu and choose the drive.

  The backup drive appeared as expected and I clicked on "Use selected Disk" to enter the time Machine.

  At this point, the computer between what seems to be Time machine, but shows a Finder window to the hard disk of the computer rather than the backup drive and shows not all dates before "today (now)."

  A thread has suggested that I open a Finder window and select 'Computer' in the menu to reach before the opening of time Machine. It did not work.

  Another thread has suggested that I have use the Migration Wizard rather to recover files and folders, I need. This is not ideal, but I tried it anyway, the result being that the Migration Wizard app remained "Looking for source...". "without finding the backup drive.

  Before formatting my drive on the original Mac, I had checked for if ensure that I could access the Time Machine backup while it was plugged into the backup drive (which he successful well).

  I use the latest version of El Capitan 10.11.6 on a MacBook Air (mid 2011). Backup is a MacBook Pro (mid-2010) who ran as El Capitan.

  I would appreciate any other suggestions!

  So, I discovered the solution, which has been in a simpler way that I expected. Before opening, Time Machine, it is necessary to find the sparsebundle Disk Image in the backup disk in the Finder and open it with "DiskImageMounter." Then, you must select "Computer" in the Finder menu reach before choosing the option "Browse Other Time Machine disks... "menu to the dock of time Machine. The first finder window it shows in the Time Machine view still belongs to the computer, but now it shows the previous backups, who are all from the backup drive!

• Time Machine of immutable/incorrect information?

  I have a client using 10.11.6 on an iMac with a problem with Time Machine not allowing (at least not not appearing to allow) any changes on the disk used for backup and also showing a date in 2015 on the menu bar which the last backup was performed successfully.  Despite all this the TM backups are up-to-date and occurring normally checked by looking at the TM backup drive that I chose (but which does not appear as the backup selected in parameters of TM drive).

  I tried to delete the file plist TM but don't know where to go next... of ideas?

  Hello MacAttac,

  If I understand you right, you have problems with Time Machine backup on your iMac to clients running 10.11.6. Although it seems to be back up successfully by looking at the drive itself, Time Machine in the menu bar that shows the last backup was actually in 2015, and Time Machine in system preferences shows a different drive than the one that it is backup.  I know the importance of keeping a computer backed up regularly, so I can understand the concern that it would cause if you see incorrect dates for backups of this machines.

  Because this isn't the good drive backup, try following the steps outlined in this support article: If you can not back up or restore your Mac using Time Machine if after you follow these steps, you do not come to a resolution, reply back to us whether these two disks that were used Time Machine on this computer are the same brand and model.

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  Take care!

• More than one backup device on one Time Machine HD

  I have an iMac, MacBook Air and airport Time Capsule and want to use Time Machine to back up the iMac and MacBook Air at this time Capsule.

  Is the OK of Time Capsule have more than a backup Time Machine on his hard drive or time Capsule prefers to be dedicated to a single device?

  Thank you

  -Mike

  You can absolutely use the time Capsule to back up multiple devices, as long as you're not on its storage capacity. For example, if your Time Capsule 2 TB of storage, it will not be able to save six iMacs with, say, 1 TB of data on each, but he can easily save your six iMac if you use only 128 GB of storage on each.

  Moreover, the mode of operation of Time Machine is that it backs up your devices until it fills up with backups, then it starts the deletion of old data, then you are more likely to be able to go back, say, eight months, a Time Capsule, which is the only backup of a computer.

  The first backup you make take as much storage, then it saves only the changes, then other backups take as storage space (unless you happened to download several movies or installed several video games since your last backup).
