• Time Machine won't back up e-mail messages

  Since the installation of El Capitan, Time Machine is not back up e-mail messages. The mailboxes are backed up, but their content is empty. To do this, I copied a mailbox (with .mbox extension) on my desktop, then tried to import it into Mac Mail, but got an error message "no valid mbox not found file." Old messages (before the update of El Capitan) have been backed up, which I confirmed by reviewing the entries in an old Time Machine backup. The exclusion list is empty.

  Possibly related: I switched from POP3 to IMAP with El Capitan.  I'm storing e-mails on the Mac Mail client, in different folders and subfolders. I can access the messages without access to Internet, so thought that once I moved to a folder in Mac Mail that they have resided on my MacBook instead of the Gmail server. My hypothesis is false?

  I'm under El Capitan, OS version 10.11.2 on a MacBook Pro for mid-2010. I use Time Machine to back up to a LaCie drive and start these backups manually several times a week.

  Please bring the Mail browser window to the front, then enter the Time Machine. You will see a series of windows Mail cascading at the time, each representing a snapshot of the database of e-mail.

  Scroll to the most recent snapshot. Don't you see the content of the message?

• Time machine won't back up e-mail

  My problem is that the e-mail messages in the e-mail on my iMac iCloud account are not saved to Time Machine. This seems to go back to the upgrade of the El Capitan.

  I have four IMAP accounts in Mail (ICloud, Btinternet, Google and Yahoo), which works very much like email accounts. However, in Time machine only the last three save. Shows mailbox to iCloud in the sidebar on the left, but without display of messages; messages to display to the other three mailboxes and can be recovered.

  I rebuilt, reindexed and removed/re-added, all mailboxes, but nothing changes.

  After reading (and following) advice, I wonder if the problem is in my V2 and V3 files. The three mailboxes that upward are in V3, but on behalf of Apple stubbornly remains in V2 which I thought should now, in El Capitan, be redundant:

  

  However, it is at the limit of my understanding. I remember I had a struggle during the installation of El Capitan initially regarding the mailboxes in the process of disappearance but eventually got mail works again and thought more about it. I don't check if messages have been backed up.

  I have not all messages stored to preserve or migrate. Let me just messages to be saved on TM from this time, as they used to be. It is not a huge problem for me and I'm not ready to go to the lengths of resettlement El Capitan, but if there is something relatively simple, that I can do to make things work again, I'd be glad of any help.

  Try this. Open mail (application) on your computer and you see all your emails. Then, open the time machine. It will open in the mail. You can scroll to the emails you want. From here you can download or get what you want. Go to the dates etc you want and recover

• I want to use Time Machine to backup all emails in gmail to a drive.drive Seagate and Lacie.

  I have a Mac Mini with OS X Lion 10.7.5.  I want to use some software (Time Machine?) to back up my gmail

  emails dating back to 2006 on a backup drive Seagate.  I installed the time Machine, and he backs up everything but

  gmail emails.  Can someone give me help.

  Time Machine is to back up files on a local disk. If your gmail emails are in local hard disk, they are ongoing. But if they are on a Gmail server, this isn't a function of time Machine.

• 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

• Sierra Mac OS and Time Machine?

  Hello

  Since the update for Sierra, time machine takes really long in the "preparation of backup." I was not able to save my mac since. Can someone tell me why this is happening and if I'll ever back on my mac?

  The first backup after that an upgrade of the OS can take a long time, leading people to think something is wrong. Sometimes, something is wrong - maybe it's a coincidence, but I think it's during these periods of preparation time that a TM backup is more likely to stall. So the first thing to try is defined the computer don't not sleep and manually start a backup of the day after. If this good return. If this is not the case, the second thing (if you can't wait go to this step) is to open the TimeMachine backup and open the backup.backup folder and the folder of the computer to find the actual backups. You should see a file called 'ongoing' remove it. (I open open TM preferences and turn off TM before doing this.)

• reminders of backup Time machine gone in el capitan

  I save to an external drive.  I used to receive reminders of time machine to make every 10 days, but since switching to el capitan, I don't get the most.  How can I return these reminders again?

  What version of Mac OS x, it was because I don't remember Time Machine never have back up reminders of 10 days. Or else everything back up reminders.

  Maybe you had one third-party applications that might change when and how the functions of Time Machine.

  timemachineeditor, timemachinescheduler etc.

• Time Machine could not complete the backup

  Since installing a Superdrive replacement, Time Machine is not back up.  I get an error message that says: 'Time Machine could not complete the backup "Time Machine backup disk. Full backup impossible. An error occurred during the creation of the backup folder. »

  I followed the instructions in the Time Machine error - backup failed, but none of the steps solved my problem.

  I suggest that visit you Time Machine FAQ of Pondini helps with Time Machine. It is a vast site with almost everything that you need for using Time Machine. You will not find a better resource for Time Machine in one place. Due to the disappearance of James Pondini is the site is no longer updated. Therefore, some information may be somewhat outdated.

• Missing utilities after installing SSD and restoring from Time Machine

  Today, I installed an SSD on my mid-2012 13 "MBP (Mavericks running) and then ran the restoration of service Time Machine to bring back everything that I used. All right, except that now I have discovered that Time Machine never backup my Utilties like disk utility, same Terminal is missing.

  I have a bootable USB with the Mavericks installation app on it, but now if I run, it's going to destroy everything Time Machine has done to restore (my CC Adobe apps and plugins, for example)? I would upgrade to El Capitan, but I use an old Wacom which does not have the drivers for the last OS X, so I'm stuck for now (do not want to buy a new Wacom immediately).

  Any ideas on how I can get these dos utilities without using the re - install or upgrade process? I watched the old backups TM and they aren't there either.

  You will have to reinstall the operating system to get the dos utilities.

  Start of recovery volume (command - R on a restart, or hold down the option/Alt during a restart and select the Volume of recovery). Run the check/repair disk utility and repair permissions until you get no error. Then re-install the operating system.

• Time Machine periodically tells me it has not saved in two weeks

  I have an iMac and a time Capsule, which are the only three months old. For the most part, they work together seamlessly to provide backups Time Machine. However, twice now, even though I know that I had regular hourly Time Machine backups, my computer informs me that Time Machine has not backed up in two weeks. And no backup is available. Time Machine then immediately starts a backup on my Time Capsule that takes a few hours. Once that ends, everything is back to normal, and my story any backup is available for me that this is supposed to be. And resume regular backups as usual.

  What happens here? Is there anything I should do? Or stop doing? I'd appreciate any comments on this subject.

  The problem is the reliability of the system network Apple is not particularly good.

  Is the Mac directly related to TB by ethernet or wireless?

  Is the TC the main router of the network so this is to distribute IP addresses?

  The strange thing is that the internet still works, but the computer has lost the TC disk location and knows not where to find it again.

  For reliable TM backups on an iMac, I highly recommend using the USB... self powered 2.5 "1 TB or 2 TB drive can be connected behind the mac and invisible to the world... who will be always available for the local system... While his brother of network in the TC will fluctuate in and out of existence.

  Rather than flowing from my mouth (hand in this case)... Give me some screenshots of your configuration of TC airport utility.

  I would say that a weekly of abandonment is part modern equipment of domestic quality network. But every day, it's ridiculous. Back to life is a pain, restart the computer to do things.

  Tell us available to the entire network... this modem you have etc.

• Time Machine backup does not

  Time Machine: Do not back up available.

  I have a number of issues at hand today.  I'll try to give a bit of history - so I apologize for the story.

  Replaced my drive HARD crashed in October 2015.  I restored Mt upward, everything worked fine.  However, my TM return will not save - and does not sense Oct 2015.

  I wiped the APTC and did a factory reset.  But it will not save. When I select the drive of the APTC, I get this: of the disc have been replaced or deleted, or someone may be trying to fool your computer into the incorrect disk backup. "Try to eject the disk image." I eject it, restart the backup process. The TM shows my old backup information (see screen capture below).

  

  When I get the device works, I said can't find the backup to John...

  Please notify.

  iMac - El Capitan 10.11.3

  TimeMachine uses the single disc Login name disk or something else instead.

  It is lost in the transition from the disk dead again.

  Quit TimeMachine.

  Connect the TC, open the TM preferences, click "Select disk", select the TC and then click on the button "Disk use".

  Click on the 'Options' button, then drag the disks/Partitions that you do not want to be saved in the window, then click on "Save".

  It may be that TM starts a new backup (which will take a while).

• Change Time Machine backup

  Time Machine and I never got along. Time and time again, I tried to turn it on, but it always ends up biting me in the... back.

  This is how I have a disc that I had tried last to use as a Time Machine drive. Once more I gave (my different posts on these forums are prolly still out there proving my frustrations). But now, I met another problem. I'm establishing another backup strategy and all I want to do is get my stuff off the drive I was using. Well, guess what? (you prolly already know this) I'm not being allowed to edit the folder Backups.backupdb in any way, shape, or form. I can't drag something out of it, I can't rename anything; I can't trash anything. I tried to "deselect" this drive as the TM drive to see if that would allow alterations, but I couldn't find a way to do it.

  Although, no, this is not quite true. I CAN drag things from her on my system drive, but my SSD, basically, 500 GB cannot accommodate all at once. I have to go pieces transfer ten ad THOSE before I can move on. But above all I want pictures and videos from the TM drive and those, of course, are the biggest.

  A strange thing that happened that I did drag the Backups.backupds folder on an external one and, surprisingly, has begun to transfer things. But he got about 2/3 of the way through with it and then stopped. as if to say, "oh, wait, I'm not supposed to be allowing this.» So now I have this folder Backups.backupdb partial to this external one, similarly, can I do anything with! Just like the real TM reader, I can't change anything on/in it. And I can't get rid of it!

  What the heck can I do about it? TM drive has stuff on it that I have anywhere else.

  Oh, another thing. I tried to go "back in time" as TM was supposed to do, and I told myself I am not able to access any Time Machine drive. WHAT is everything?
