• 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

• Satellite 2805-S201: AC power light flashes orange 8 times

  Hello

  I worked on a Satellite 2805-S201 and everything was fine until I put a PCMCIA wireless with 3, 3V power.
  After that, the AC power light flashes orange 8 times and recycle.

  It comes with power supply, battery, AC and no battery installed, etc. If I pull out the power plug and the battery and then put both when AC is green and the battery may charge. As soon as I push the power button, I hear a light click on the right side of the device and then it goes into the amber cycling power.

  Bulletins of support mentioned that the card could get damaged, but did not mention the unit itself.
  No, the PCMCIA card is not always connected

  Any thoughts?

  Hello

  The flashing provides a micro code which refers to the hardware failure.
  But please don't ask me what might mean this code because in my opinion, only an authorized service provider can be read and can check in his manuals and documentations.
  But it is of course, in most cases, it s a hardware problem of motherboard! ;(

  Perhaps the external PCMCIA card was not totally compatible and damages of something on the map but it's only my personal suggestion to ensure what s bad hardware fault diagnosis would be necessary.

• Satellite L455 - plug-and - battery LEDs power LED and it flashes orange

  I have a Satellite L455, which worked perfectly for more than six months now, but two weeks ago he began to behave strangely.

  I turned off the machine normally in the evening I was going to sleep. In the morning when I turned on it it turned on, HARD drive and on power LED blinked blue for a few seconds then they are gone. Machine does not start. I tried to turn it on again and it does the same thing. Then I saw the "power plug on" and "battery on" LED flashes orange at the same time. I unplugged the power adapter. Both lights were continuous blinking but machine will not feed. I removed the battery for a piece of 5 minutes, then reinserted it and the machine has worked all day.

  I went he deleted off the power plug and the morning again it wouldn't start until the when I removed the battery for a few minutes then it works again. The battery recharges very well that when I remove and reinsert it even without connecting the power cable still lights up and works perfectly.

  Then, I removed the battery and the power supply Plug and you press the power button for 30 seconds to unload the machine and then return power and battery and it worked until I turned off again and shutting off the power and then it didn't once again.

  If I stop just of machine and do not turn off the power cord, then I can turn it back on to and work with the machine without hassle even for three days without interruption.

  What could be wrong? Any help will be really appreciated.

  Hi chidzungo,

  It must certainly be a hardware malfunction but he s strange why it pops up every day after you have closed the laptop. Do you use batteries and AC/DC to original Toshiba adapter? Have you connected external devices to your laptop? If so delete them before you turn on your laptop.

  What version of BIOS is installed at the moment? You should look on the Web from Toshiba website for an update. Update of the BIOS might also help and it s worth a try.

  Before you start reading the BIOS BIOS update instructions update [HERE: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=60]

  Satellite L455 seems to be an American model, so the BIOS update can be downloaded from the Toshiba U.S. page but first check the exact part number:

• Question 1-3 (4 x) Dell T3500 flashing orange

  I have a problem with my Dell Precision T3500, the problem is that whenever I try to start the computer, the power button, it flashes orange 4 times and gives the code number 1 and 3, but it comes on after a while. I assumed it was something to do with the motherboard hwoever I don't know since there are not many problems like this on the internet where I could find a solution. I looked in the manual and the closest thing that I felt it was a PSU or the PSU cable problem. If anyone has a solution or an answer to this, I would be very grateful. The T3500 currently has a Nvidia GTX 260 installed with 4 GB of ram. Also if it is a power supply problem could indicate you what PSU are compatible with the T3500 as a PSU T5500 or a T7400. Thank you for your support.

  I hope that your machine is still under warranty :)  I had this happen to my T3500s 5.  The solution is a new power supply.  Whenever they sent food, they also sent a new motherboard.  I think that there obviously is a big problem with the power supplies in these T3500s that each of our original purchase has had the same problem (we have a bunch of newer who showed no problem, at least not yet).

  Whenever it happens, I ask that the person tech trying to make this a known issue (and perhaps trigger a kind of extended warranty / reminder), but so far no progress is there...

  Leaving that he unplugged a bit seems to fix it temporarily, but then we are frightened to turn the machines to turn back.

• 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

  Justin

• 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.
