• 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.

• Contacts crashes when you enter Time Machine

  There is no work around for the following problem?  Or should I just wait for a fix from Apple?

  I used Time Machine before retrieving the information from Contacts accidentally deleted or changed on our iMac.  Now when I try to do the same Contacts crashes.

  The screen starts to display the pages of Contacts who goes back in time, then return to the office. I am running the latest version of Mac OS X, El Capitan.  Reports were automatically sent to Apple - looks like a bug.

• Using Time Machine or the Migration Assistant to transfer information from and old Mac to a new one

  I had to think about upgrading a Macbook Air to a Macbook Pro and have done research on how pretty much everything (files, account icloud, etc.) to move to a new computer so I know how to do it when the time comes. I didn't save my current computer at the time I got it and didn't know whether it was necessary to do it before the transfer. Also, I found two different ways to move information from one mac to another, one way being using the migration wizard, the other via the time machine. The problem is that I've never used time machine (I checked my settings and it is turned off). I was curious to know which option would be the 'best' way and if not never back up my computer would be a problem. (If its possible, could someone also please explain how to back up my computer?)

  Thank you for taking the time to read this and I look forward I hope to get a reply soon!

  I use Time Machine often (and have used since its introduction).  I also upgraded my Mac hardware quite often (about every 18 months).  Whenever I move to a new machine, I use the Migration Wizard (and not Time Machine).  I've never had a problem.

  Then I suggest that you need not Time machine specifically in order to change computers.  However, you really need to keep backups simply because the material is not, and without a backup, you are subject to lose everything you have on your computer.

• How can I transfer information from one mac to another on time machine?

  I use Time Machine time and have all the info. I tried to understand myslef but get stuck on the same stage. Thanks for the help. Sorry to ask another question, should have asked

  in my other post. My apologies

  Move your content to a new Mac - Apple Support It should work, next time, I recommend you all first looking for an answer. Hope this helps, good luck to you?

• Time Machine does not register the last backups

  In Time Machine preferences, it signals that the last backup is June 2, but when I go to Time Machine I don't see what

  which seems to be backups in recent days.  How do both to sync to declare the same data?

  

  • Assuming that your profile information is correct, OS X update to the latest version: How can I update to OS X and Mac apps - Apple Support.
  • If you do not already done, simply connect / again or restart your Mac.
  • If you back up the contents of the source that lies in the external devices, make sure they are all operational, mounted and available.
  • If the last time information and the date are still incorrect, continue with the steps below.
  1. Confirm that a backup is not already underway. Then, scroll down to 'Add or remove backup disk... '. "and select it. Choose 'Data' and then delete.
     • If everything works as it should, this will not affect your existing backup history. However, if you have done this until now it is not working as it should, and in an abundance of caution you should consider creating an additional, redundant backup first. If you work with the data that you just can't live without, that a backup is not enough in any case, even if everything works perfectly.
  2. Then select the drive again, connect you and choose 'Back Up Now' in the Time Machine menu bar icon.
     • If you have added previously any exclusion of the element (under the 'Options... button "), you will need to add.
  3. Time Machine will take a lot of time while it makes a 'deep event' scan to determine which files need to be backed up. Meanwhile "preparing backup...". ' appears in Time Machine preferences.
  4. When the "scan deep event" is over, Time Machine will perform a normal incremental backup, which will have the usual amount of time.

  That should correct the erroneous information.

• 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).

• Where are the time Machine connects to Sierra?

  Running Sierra on a late 2009 iMac. Time Machine works well and updated regularly. However the Time Machine buddy Widget shows all the information. Study using the Console indicates that the TM log entries are to be absent in Syslog. Nothing shows using the "backupd" as a filter on the system log. Under Diagnostics and usage data, I see information for the type of backup and "NOERROR" for completion.

  Does anyone know what has changed in the Sierra? Or is it my unit?

  Boyfriend of Time Machine does not work with Sierra

  Console is 'redesigned', extraction of newspapers can be difficult...

  But!

  You can copy the lines of command in Terminal to see the logs of Time Machine ("TM on the fly" and "History of TM")

  Since this discussion started I see how activity time Machine Console with macOS Sierra;

  By copying this command (from John Galt) line in the Terminal I can view TM-history-logs for a few days back;

  Newspaper show - predicate "subsystem =="com.apple.TimeMachine"'-info | grep ' upd: (' | cut-c - 1-19 140-999)

  This command line also gives information of a TM running 'on the fly', but after the TM copy I have to put in the line of command again TM start-up for a new copy (I can live with that...)

  By copying this command (from chockosmund) line in the Terminal I see what TM is ding on the fly, but did not get the newspaper story.

  the log stream - style syslog - predicate 'contains a [cd] 'Time Machine' senderImagePath' - info

  This command line is that Terminal shows constantly new TM-logs.

  Thank you John Galt and chuckosmund!

  I have a separate Terminal office-space computer were I can watch how TM is progressing.

  Hope that answers your question.

• No more space, Time Machine backs up several Minis on Time Capsule

  Time machine pop ups a warning window informing that he is y isn´t more than space for backup, even when there are 10 GB available.

  I have 5 mini mac, based his account on the same Time Capsule (v 7.6.7) backup, the backup process will be performed once a day. The TC is connected via a cable (1 GB) ethernet, wireless node is stopped.

  Some of them keep backup but to other Don t.

  T.M. Shouldn´t delete older backups, related to the Mac mini makes the backup?

  What I usually do is delete the backup (via the shared disk) for this mini and start again, but after a month, the same message appears.

  I Don t know if's got to backups in T.C. are just a single disk image (picture disc sparsebundle) for each account, not folders with dates, as does my macbook using T.M. on an external drive.

  I just can´t a solution to index?

  Thanks for any help

  I Don t know if's got to backups in T.C. are just a single disk image (picture disc sparsebundle) for each account, not folders with dates, as does my macbook using T.M. on an external drive.

  N ° it is in fact the way that Time Machine is designed to operate. The method is different between those locally fixed and network drives.

• Connection of ARD of Time Machine settings

  My main computer has failed yesterday and came out for repair.

  I downloaded ARD on my MacBook Pro, but do not have the connection string information to connect to the computers of my client (on the main computer). I have the Time Machine backup but could not find the connection string information.

  I have replaced/Library/Application Support / Apple / Remote Desktop, /Library/Preferences/com.apple.RemoteManagement.plist and /Library/Preferences/com.apple.RemoteDesktop.plist with the Time Machine backup and rebooted the laptop.

  I do not have my connection strings. Where is the connection string information stored?

  Hi tijoev,

  Don't know what version of ARD that you use.

  -Latest versions of ARD have parameters stored in ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.RemoteDesktop

  -Restore everything in this backup TM folder and restart.

• Is there a community Apple Time Machine or Family Tree Maker software by ancestry.com.au?

  I can't find the answer to my posted question, either right now or a few years ago, when I last tried.  Maybe I'm posting in the wrong community.

  My question is as above, because I can not restore a deleted of the software said using Time Machine.

  I could never do all the time when the software was originally installed on my old mac, and I can't do it after the transfer of all my system from the old to the new mac.  However, my new mac now tells me that it can't open the application, although it is on my Dock and works perfectly with some other trees it contains; He asks me to migrate.  He may not need migration because it works!  Any ideas?

  These forums are only on Apple Software and Hardware, so it will not be a forum for any form of third-party software.

  I don't see anything specific to Time Machine, but this Web site provides much useful information about Time Machine:

  http://pondini.org

  Can you explain exactly what you have restored?

  In addition, please explain how the application runs, but doesn't? I'm confused by your statement that it runs from the dock with other trees, but does not otherwise.

  In relation to this, you have restored an older version of the App, hoping that your old trees were stored in the app itself? If so, this isn't how everything works. Apps for does not store data in the application. They have separate data storage areas and that's what should be restored.

• How can I copy files from Time Machine without going through Time Machine

  I had to do a clean OS X El Capitan on my iMac install because something prevented it from closing properly. I now El Capitan without any of my old files and applications.

  I want to copy my Time Machine backup, but the record has been marked by a red dot. I can't transfer manually. I don't want to go through a Time Machine, because the last time I did it, it just restore the old configuration that basically had the problem that stopped my computer of closing.

  How can I manually copy the files?

  Do not restore complete.

  You can 'enter Time Machine"to select files and folders to restore.

  Alternately, when restoring from Time Machine backup, customize the restoration as follows: under Select the information to transfer, select only your previous user account. Do not select 'Applications', 'Computer and Network Settings' or "Other files and folders". Deselect these choices. Potentially corrupt applications, lists of properties and changes in the operating system will be migrated and will be any problem that may have been caused by them.

• Failed to retrieve the passwords saved backup Time Machine

  Firefox 42 on OS X.

  To make a long story short, I accidentally uninstalled Firefox and deleted ALL of its associated files and cache and profile and everything.

  I use Time Machine, so don't panic. I have just re-installed Firefox and then copied all files from the most recent profile, before deleting saved on Time Machine in my new profile, and voila, all my bookmarks and modules returned.

  BUT... The only thing that is not much matter what I try is saved passwords/login information - I tried several times before to copy the backed up versions of the file signons.sqlite and signons3.txt, reset my computer, etc., but no matter what, when I go into "Saved passwords" it is always empty.

  I lose them forever? Is there something I can do?

  It was very good work. Play well.
  Please report your last post as solved while others will know.

• Cannot open encrypted on Time Machine disk image

  I have an encrypted file protected by password in my Macbook Pro.  The folder name is "Enc.dmg" and is kept in the main Applications folder. If I remove the Time Machine backup before a dmg file, it seems theoretically to save.  But when I later enter Time Machine go to Applications and click on the Enc.dmg file, it opens; It is not mount the disk image and invite me to enter the password.  Instead, a non-functional information is displayed.  The box contains unnecessary information. He tells me it's a dmg file.

  If ever, my computer crashes or is lost or stolen and I can't access my file encrypted on Time Machine, I'll be in big trouble.  Is it possible to actually make a dmg properly function in mode Time Machine?

  You restore the file before trying to open it? It should not open in Time Machine.

• Time Machine backup migration wizard

  Hello

  I have a MBP (2012 model) running OSX 10.11.6. The hard drive has encountered an error that I couldn't get (invalid node structure). After spending the better part of a day of troubleshooting, I finally erased the drive and reinstall the OS from the OSX Internet Recovery Mode option. After that I reinstalled OSX version accompanying (Mavericks), I was going to transfer all my files from my USB external time Machine drive. I checked using the Migration Wizard, and I had the opportunity to transfer any of the player. Instead, I thought I'd be better to first upgrade to el capitan (it was on 10.11.6 when it stopped working) and install the programs I use (MS Office) before the transfer, so I went through this process. Now when I try to restore the files using Migration Assistant in el Capitan, he can't seem to find the USB Time Machine backup drive - it retains just turn on "the search for Source...". "on the transfer to this Mac screen information. If I leave the Migration Wizard, the USB key is accessible in the Finder. Don't know what to do at this point, but I really need these files (years of family photos are my biggest concern about losing).

  Thank you

  Mike Camden

  OK - I've solved it. For some reason, it wouldn't find the backup disk, Time Machine in the Migration Wizard, when I plugged directly on the port of USB of MBP (although he appeared and is accessible from the Finder); However, on a whim, I plugged into the USB port on my Airport Extreme, connected my MBP to it as a shared resource on the network and is running Migration Wizard again. Migration assistant immediately found and was able to make the Time Machine restore - it took much longer overall than network he would like a USB drive, but I let it run all night, and everything was finished this morning.
