  Time machine is unable to perform a backup. Not able to access the sparsebundle. First of all, there is problem with the Snow Leopard operating system. Dragon followed in the upgrade to El Capitan. Only difference was error code 109 changed to 'null '. What about someone?

  We need some info.

  You can access from the finder Time Capsule? If this isn't the case, then Time Machine will not work.

  You upgrade the computer snow to El Capo and keep the same name?

  If you want to backup, it is best to start again... clean the new backup any attempt to add a previous backup failed.

  I recommend that you actually erase the TC... do a complete factory reset and start again.

  The previous backup if necessary can be archived on a USB drive connected to the TC assuming that Airport utility can still access it. Airport utility accesses the TC?

  With update installs all sorts of things can go wrong... so tell me more if you can not get anywhere.

• 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?

• Search for Time Machine does not work in the mail.

  Hello

  I'm trying to retrieve/view old e-mail my Time Machine ups back. I am backup on an external hard drive.

  When I get TM since the Mail, search application 'in time' does not work. If I go TM said Finder, or from the desktop, it works fine.

  I had to reinstall my OS and am trying to update on El Capitan, (thanks to the kind assistance of AppleCare!), but in the meantime I am eager to find those old emails.

  Any suggestions please? Thank you.

  Although you can restore a snapshot of Time Machine messages in the Mail application, it usually will not work with messages that were saved by an outdated version of the mail. In this case, you must use another method.

  Please triple - click anywhere in the line below on this page to select:

  ~/Library/Mail

  Right-click or Ctrl-click on the highlighted line and select

  Services ▹ Open

  the contextual menu.* should open a folder.

  Enter Time Machine and scroll to the snapshot that you want to restore from. The folder named "Mail" are subfolders named "V2" and/or "V3" (according to the version of Mac OS X that was used at the time that the snapshot was taken.) Inside of one of these subfolders are several subfolders representing your e-mail accounts. The name refers to the email addresses that you use. Select the account folders you want and then select restore... to... in the action menu (gear icon) in the toolbar of the Snapshot window. Restore the files on the desktop and not in their original location.

  Import the mailbox in the folders that you restored to the office. The imported messages appear in a new mailbox. Move those you want to keep everywhere where you want and delete the rest. Then, delete the files on the desktop.

  * If you do not see the item context menu copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. In the Finder, select

  Go ▹ go to the folder...

  from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return.

• 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

• Time Machine is unable to finish his first full backup

  I am running OS X Lion 10.7.5 on my Mac Mini in 2011.  I recently had Melrose Mac increase its 16 MB RAM and HD sound internal to a 2 TB drive and they have cloned my original data and restored on the new drive.

  Then, I partitioned the drive and installed El Capitan, Yosemite, and Snow Leopard on each of these partitions.  Who are all the Mac OS X extended (journaled).  Each partition correctly starts and runs.

  Then, I took my LaCie 2 Bay drive, with 1 t readers in each Bay, wiped and set up as 'Fast' while it will be seen as a 2 t drive and chose this drive for Time Machine in Leo.  This disc is also Mac OS X extended (journaled).

  About halfway through the first backup (350 GB), I get the following message from Time Machine; now it happens more quickly:

  

  And here it is recreated Time Machine in system preferences:

  

  [click on image to enlarge]

  I followed the instructions several times using repair in the disk on the primary drive of LaCie and its partitin utility, but it does not report errors.  Then the first Time Machine backup will fail again about half way through.

  I've been reviewing Pondini suggestions, but they do not cover this specific message and they do not seem to find the problem.

  Any thoughts?

  Moderators, please move this to the subheading appropriate; as Mac OS X Lion/Time Machine and remove this message.  Thank you.

• Unable to retrieve/send mail can I get the msg of error 0X800CCC17.

  When I go to check the mail, I get this popup window telling me to connect to POP.att.yahoo.com and ask my name of user/server and won't accept it. Then, I get the error msg 0X800CCC17.

  Check your account via webmail to ensure that the server is not having any problems.  If this isn't a problem, so if you are using Windows Mail, try to delete your account, compact and repair the database (see www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/), and then add your account again.  Make sure too that no anti-virus software does interfere (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3).

• Problem with mail from a Time Machine backup

  Hello

  After I restored my wife with Time Machine MBP, it tried to start "Mail" and she gets a message:

  «Mail must import your messages (etc.)...» »

  So when I click on 'continue' it shows a # 52 847 ridiculously high message and he gets up to 981 photos and videos, then she stays there for hours. If I cancel, next time I try, it happens to 980, then next time 979 and so on, leaving fall 1 number every time and it hangs still for hours, until I turn it off.

  If I try to restore messaging of the backup, I get a message:

  "Mail can not be changed or deleted because it is required by Mac OS x."

  So essentially, she cannot open her e-mail software.

  What can I do to get the operational e-mail program?

  Well, problem solved.

  I did a reinstall TM on a backup earlier and got the same result with mail, so I just him to run the import as long as she could.

  Problem disappeared.

  Thanks in any case

• Partial access to the backup time machine

  Hello

  I tried to upgrade Yosemite to El Capitan, but failed. If the local bank staff did a clean install for me. Prior to this, internal hard drive for my Mac has been saved using Time Machine, on an encrypted external hard drive. However, Time Machine is unable to restore a back ups (shows the chronology of the previous backups, but the restore button is gray).

  However, backups are visible in the structure of the external hd directories. However, only some, not all directories are available. For example, I was able to copy Documents mailed to the internal hd hd, but Google Drive are not available. More detail in the attachments.

  My question is: How can I solve the problem just described and, in particular, to obtain access to directories that are blocked so far on the external hard drive?

  

  

  Indeed, you have a 'new' Mac... from the hard drive of your Mac "old" has been erased and a new operating system has been installed.

  Time Machine will allow you only to restore a backup, if you look at your current Mac made backups. Since you have a 'new' Mac... (who did not backup, Time Machine is concerned)... you can not use Time Machine to restore the data.

  Instead, use the Migration Wizard on your Mac.  It is located Finder > Applications > utilities > Migration Wizard

  

  Things could be a lot easier, however, if you take the Mac and your hard drive... with Time Machine backups... back to the Apple Store and let the 'genius' accomplish the task it should have done before.

  In fact, when you first turned on the new 'Mac', installation wizard should have appeared and ask you if you want to restore from Time Machine backups.  That would be the best way, and easier to make your 'new' look Mac as your 'old' Mac but fortunately Migration Assistant can perform a similar function.

• Time Machine-to the exclusion of directories

  I'm backup my iMac SSD drive (500 GB) on a 3T OSX to format drive.  I also use a directory on this 3T USB as a secondary drive in my favorites (Finder).  What I find is that Time Machine takes about 3-4 DAYS to run a backup.  It takes a particularly long time to complete the process of 'cleaning up' after the backup (which apparently does not get completed if broken.)

  When I "Get Info" to the Backups.backupdg directory that it takes several hours to calculate the size of this folder (~1.5T), while "Get Info" is almost instantaneous on other 4 or 5 t formatted (NTSC) or another OS x 2 t formatted the disk.

  I do this so I can backup the entire disk 3T a cloud or off site backup.

  If I can exclude the Time Machine backup of itself, I suspect the backup can be done in less than an hour. Is there a way to do this in Time Machine or must it backs up the entire drive?  If the latter, I'll apply for improvement for Time Machine!

  That confuses me. Time Machine is unable to save himself.

  I also use a directory on this 3T USB as a secondary drive in my favorites (Finder).

  If you back up the content that is stored on the backup volume, Time Machine will not work properly.

  I think there is something on your Time Machine configuration, I don't understand. Even if your iMac contained 500 GB of content source, the initial backup to a drive connected locally can take a few hours. Subsequent incremental (hours) will take only a few minutes.

  How this backup disk is connected? USB, FireWire, Thunderbolt...?

• I would like to add a folder of photos on a USB key for time machine backups

  I have a new time capsule, and I am attaching a USB hard drive that previously held some my time machine backups and all my photos. I would now add the photo of backups auto time folder machine on the time capsule. But in time machine preferences I don't see the folder or the USB key. Although I can see the USB in the finder as well as the time capsule window. I can copy and paste the photo time capsule file it's just I wanted to time machine for backup for me. Any help much appreciated.

  The time Capsule is what we call a 'network' of the road, so when the USB is connected to the time Capsule, which would make it a "network" drive as well.

  Unfortunately, Time Machine is unable to back up a 'network' of the time Capsule drive.

  If you want to save the data or the USB disk using Time Machine drive, you will need to connect the drive directly to your Mac and then it will be saved with your Mac... assuming that the drive has been formatted for Mac to Mac OS extended (journaled) format. Then, the player will become a "local" drive

  If you need to keep the USB connected to the time Capsule, the only way to back up data automatically on a schedule would be to use a commercial program like Carbon Copy Cloner or ChronoSync.

• Could not find the Time Capsule for Time Machine backup drive

  My iMac is running El Capitan and Time Machine is unable to find the Time Capsule backup drive.  I blew the backup several times in hopes that it will fix the problem.   The only thing I found which will allow a return to the top is to unplug the Time Capsule and plug it in again.  The work around works only once, then it's back to "can't find the backup disk.

  For anyone a cela or similar questions are you go in your Utilities folder (in your applications folder) and run the utility airport to see what he says about the disks attached. This cannot work for the readers of time capsule Apple rather than third party readers who have been designated as the backup time drives machine.

• After the restoration of an iMac from Time Machine Illustrator CC 2014 hangs at startup. Uninstalled and reinstalled using Creative Cloud icon in the menu bar, same result.

  I had to restore my end 2013 27 "iMac Time Machine after one of my mac mail application has become corrupted. After restoring Illustrator CC 2014 has tried to start, the start screen was for a few seconds then I got this error message and the program crashed: operation fails due to an unknown error. [IMPORTANT]

  I uninstalled Illustrator using the uninstall application in the main folder, then reinstalled Illustrator CC 2014 using the creative cloud icon in my menu bar. After the reinstallation is the same thing with the same error. I am running Yosemite 10.10.1. Illustrator ran fine before the system restore. Photoshop and InDesign CC 2014 start very well.

  I'd appreciate any help you can give me. I tried to discuss with Adobe, but the cat was not available.

  Thank you

  Rick,

  You could try to reinstall using step three way:

  Uninstall, run the cleanup tool and reinstall.

  Strange things can persist without the used cleaning tool.
