• The backup disk image ' / Volumes/Data/iMac.sparsebundle ' could not be found (error (null))

  Hello

  I have a 27-inch iMac late 2013, 3.2 Ghz intel Core i5, 8 GB 1600 Mhz DDR3. I get the tracking error when you try to save it on my time capsule.

  The backup disk image ' / Volumes/Data/iMac.sparsebundle ' could not be found (error (null))

  I have another iMac and Mac Pro that save in the capsule of time without any problem.

  Can anyone help?

  Thank you

  You try Time Capsule stop and unplug for 1 minute. Then reset the SMC on the iMac by Intel iMac LANDAU and SMC will reset and restart the iMac and restart the TC and retest Time Machine.

• How to move data from iMac to 3 TB Stor.E Canvio external HARD drive

  Hi guys,.

  First post, new to all this.

  I bought a Toshiba 3 to Stor.E Canvio external hard drive to get a load of movies and music out of my iMac.

  I plugged it in, the iMac seems to recognize, so I tried to drag and drop in the folder on the hard drive, but it leaves nothing.

  Can someone give me some advice on how to move things from my iMac to the new hard disk?

  Thank you very much, looking forward to hear from you.

  Hello

  As far as I know the HARD and the NTFS file format disc media.
  If you want to use it in Mac, you must re-formatted the system filesystem HFS + for Mac compatibility.

• Have I inadvertently messed my Time Capsule?

  I tried to format an old 3.5 inch HD using disk utility - I wasn't focused and selected the drive time capsule and on the sparsebundle volume - I formatted the disk to use Master Boot and the sparsebundle bit to use ms - dos (Fat) (long story...). When I realized my mistake I force quit the utility. The backup of files appear to be affected--however, Time Machine does not work I get the following error: 'volumes/Data-1/XXXX.sparsebundle' could not be accessed (error 0 (null)).

  I restarted the time capsule using airport utility, and I tried to repair the disk using the disk without success. While using the disk utility I see that the "Apple Sparsebundle disk image Media" has a Master Boot Record Partition map and volume 'Apple spars' says it's a physical Volume outside of MS-DOS (FAT). It is even possible to format a volume in this way - keeping the files but by changing the file system? -If Yes, that is what is causing me the problem - and how I change it back? Or do I have to erase all my backups and start from scratch?

  Help would be very appreciated.

  I never thought it possible, but you did.

  Now, the backup is useless... Time Machine cannot use any other disc format except HFS + (Mac OS Extended journaled)

  All files on your system are now dead... your user files may be recoverable. If you need it. Make an archive from disk utility on a USB drive connected to the TC... It is very probably useless... but there it is... erase the disc at the same place and start a quick fresh clean backup.

• iMac continues to be frozen as claimed by other users

  I saw that many users have the same problem with my friends, the computer crashes randomly and the only thing that works is the arrow on the pointer on the screen, but I'm not able to do nothing to restart the system. In the past, it was a victim, for a few weeks, that often, at least two or three times a day.

  Here is the report of being in the hope that someone could help... In the meantime, I'll remove the adware found and to check some files. I delete some startup items that seem to be obsolete for this OS.

  Maridef,

  Your report indicates some adware is installed, run the report EtreCheck again and click where it says to remove the adware.

  Then, my guess is you can have moved away from using a PC at one time and brought over some habits of PC. I noticed that you have installed com.trendmicro.DrCleaner, it is unnecessary and potentially harmful for OS X. OS X is not no matter what antivirus cleaning, or third-party utilities to good work. If left alone and updated OS X is extremely secure and will work well for years.

  Finally, I noticed that you have installed a WD software you no doubt to some WD JEP. It is not only pointless too, it tends to cause problems. So uninstall that too.

• Time Machine Sparsebundle NAS based Backup-error

  Like many times before, I This Time Machine Sparsebundle NAS based backup errors trying to force me to remove all my backups before creating a new - and I turn down this time.

  I found this article http://www.garth.org/archives/2011, ased 08,27,169,fix-time-machine-sparsebundle-nas-b-backup - errors.html which seems to be great, but already at the beginning that the commands do not work for me any more:

  MacBookPro: ~ root # chflags nouchg /Volumes/Data/MacBookPro.sparsebundle r

  MacBookPro: ~ root # hdiutil attach nomount - noverify - noautofsck - /Data/MacBookPro.sparsebundle

  hdiutil: attach failed - no such file or directory

  The path to the sparsebundle is TimeCapsule/Data/MacBookPro.sparsebundle.

  I have no idea of this Terminal stuff, so I am at a loss.

  For further help, thank you very much!

• share volume mounted NAS network

  I have a Seagate Black Armor NAS 440 directly connected to my iMac running El Capitan. The SIN is on the local Ethernet iMac and it can share its volumes via SMB, CIFS or NFS. I have a 'Public' mounted volume on the iMac by using the command mount-t smbfs.  The home network is wireless, and I can see all the shared volumes on the iMac to my MacBook (also run El Capitan), except the Public. In other words, I can see all the files on the volume of Public SIN only on the iMac itself. My question is how to access the Public SIN of Mac volume on the WiFi network? Or in other words, how can I share the Public get on the iMac in the other Mac on the WiFi network?

  You can't do that.

  You must enter the NAS in the router, so the other machines can do the mount from him directly.

  I'm not sure the logic to be plugged directly on one machine by ethernet.

  But really, you cannot export a volume mounted remotely.

• Time Capsule: "...". total object 'Data' is not found.

  I can't use my TC more because of this error. The TC appears in the sidebar, I can open the top-level window, but as soon as I want to mount the volume 'Data', there is this error.

  Thanks a lot for the tips!

  P.

  A good troubleshooting step base to occur with any connection problem as this is a complete network power cycle. If you have not already tried so, it would be a recommended method to start the process.

  Power off all the devices on your network... modem, routers, computers, iPhones/iPads, printers, etc... in any order you want

  Wait a minute

  Turn on the modem first and leave a few minutes, he managed by itself

  Then, turn on the next device that connects to the modem and leaves turn a good minute

  Keep turn on devices one by one at a time, one minute apart, until the entire network is back

  Check the network

• Questions of Time Capsule, I have to rename my sparsebundle?

  I recently started having problems with my Airport with Time Capsule, and after doing a bunch of other updates of my system, I wonder if the name of my sparsebundle could ask questions.  A bit of history behind what I have made, please bear with me while I explain all of this.

  I bought my Airport with Time Capsule in November 2014 and it had worked well until February of this year.  We have changed our internet service provider, and the day that we did this, I had to unplugging everything on my desk to reorganize things.  I plugged everything in, my wifi was working fine, and I never had a problem with my Time Capsule, so I don't even think to check it out.  But then I got an alert one day say that my machine has not been saved in 12 days.  I tried to do a backup at this time, but it got stuck in the phase of "Looking for backup drive.  By trial and error, I found if I power cycle my Airport, I can get to find the reader and to make the backup, but it seems to be a temporary solution.  After a day or two or sometimes later that day after that the computer was put to sleep and woke up to the top, he would come back in the phase of 'Search'... ».

  I did some research online, but most of the post I found is from 2008, 2012, etc., which concerned me the info might be exceeded.  At this point, I prefer not to erase my Time Capsule and start over, so I'll try different things to see if I can solve the problem before having the extreme path again.  I ran the utility disk on the sparsebundle several times. The first time that I ran it on the iMac, there was an error, but the second time I ran it, all seemed well.  And I get this error when I backup my iMac and my MacBookPro. Both are set to save in the same time Capsule and it seems to be a problem with real time Capsule machines.

  I've done a lot of research and one of the things I found was that it might be my computer name causing some problems.  My computers have been appointed 'IMac of Lauriena' and ' Lauriena LastName MacBook Pro"(do not put my name in the post, but it's the same number of characters).  I've read since they have spaces and even the quotes could be causing the issues, so I changed the name of the two computers. I have them shortened to "Reenas_iMac" and "Reenas_MacBookPro" (although now I'm wondering if I should get rid of both the underscore character).  I also renamed "Lauriena airport Time Capsule" Time Capsule to "ReenasAirPortTimeCapsule".  After that I renamed the time Capsule, I made sure to enter Time Machine and reselect the drive to use for the backup, because he was looking for that on "Time Capsule of Lauriena airport.

  One of the things I had read was that if you changed the name of your computer, the next time that you have made a backup it would take more time to save and it would also change the name of the sparsebundle to match the computer name.  I wanted to do, since my name sparsebundle imitated my computer before names, which means there are spaces and apostrophes in names.  But to my surprise, the name has not changed. Backups lasted longer than I expected based on what I had read, but the names have remained the same.

  Until today, even with put the computer to sleep all night, the automatic backups seem to work, but I fear the name of the sparsebundle can turn against me. At this point, I'm doing everything I can to avoid future problems, and I hope I do not have to erase my sparsebundles and start over, if possible.  Especially because I get nervous at the idea of not having a backup, even if it's just for a short period of time. If it turns out that I have to do this, I'll do it, but I wanted to see if I had other options.

  So my main question becomes, would the name of my sparsebundle potentially ask questions, and if so, is there a way to change this without remove it and start again?  If it helps, I use an iMac Mid and a MacBookPro 2011 Early 2011, both El Capitan 10.11.2 running. Currently, my sparsebundle names "Of Lauriena LastName MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" and "Lauriena iMac.sparsebundle".

  I'm not loving the idea of change the sparsebundle names...

  I welcome your change of name... I think that this translates into better reliability of network... but the fact is Time Machine is a little tricky beastie and unfortunately to know when it's messed up is often to the point that you want to use.

  My recommend is exactly what you don't want to.

  I'm doing everything I can to avoid future problems, and I hope I do not have to erase my sparsebundles and start over, if possible.

  Because of mutual exclusivity to avoid future problems... and starting over. Your desire is to have your cake and eat it, but one or the other will give way.

  If you want to keep your existing backups... make an archive of airport utility to a correctly formatted disk. Just keep it 3-6 months to accumulate enough history you probably never need.

  Then do a quick erase of the TC and start over. Backups can be done much faster using ethernet... one at a time... and there is no time you will be missing a backup.

  One of the things I had read was that if you changed the name of your computer, the next time that you have made a backup it would take more time to save and it would also change the name of the sparsebundle to match the computer name.

  Just to explain this... The first part is just... a backup should take a long time because it checks the files...

  The second part is not correct... TM cannot change the name of the sparsebundle to match the name... What I expected it to do in most cases, is start a new backup. Often, it's there for that... I tested it and found that it has begun a new backup... but by design, TM does NOT use the name of the computer... It is related to the UUID of the disc.

  Read great Pondini KB if you want to better understand.

  IMHO, if it's using the existing backup... then the change of name of the computer was not relevant... and backups should go... but my confidence in TM is reduced.

  Since you seem concerned to have good backups... Let me suggest a dual approach. Keep running TM as you are... It does a good job of incremental backups.

  But download Carbon Copy clone (it of about $40 and covers multiple computers in your household). You can trial for a month to see if you really like it. Create a clone bootable on USB plugged into your computer, you need to separate those for computers... but it doesn't have to be a small disc auto powered of the same capacity as the startup disk. (or larger than files with a little space) for units 1 to are fine, unless that is your Mac has Monster drives.

  Then the trial a boot from the clone... Hold down the option key when the computer is booting and select the USB drive... and you know after a few minutes you have a completely viable functional backup. All your files will be there and everything work exactly as before... because he is a true clone.

• No sound on iMac

  I recently bought a pair of bluetooth speakers to my new Mac Mini and tested on this iMac. Now the speakers are disabled and this iMac is in another room, but I noticed when I hit the volume keys, he is a bit crossed out "no" symbol under the feedback volume indicator that appears briefly on the screen. By clicking on the speaker icon in the menu bar, the slider is all the way back and can not be moved. Go to the sound section in system preferences, I see that I have selected internal speakers, but it is impossible to move the output Volume slider. The devices section of the Bluetooth system preferences section shows that the speakers are "not connected". Why can I not reactivate the volume on this iMac?

  Try to delete the preferences of your iMac Bluetooth Bluetooth speakers.  Here is an example of using Bluetooth headphones I paired with my Macbook Pro.  As you move your mouse over Bluetooth speakers, you should see the (X) appear to allow you to remove them.

  

• Incorrect volume on RN314 size

  Hello

  I have a ReadyNAS RN314 and when I put in place a few weeks ago, I used 3 x 2 TB disks. From memory, the reported effective as 3.45 TB disk space that seemed ok to me.

  In recent days, I exchanged three disks one by one for the new drives of 4 TB, each time for the raid rebuild the disk added pending. Everything seems to work properly, but with 3 x 4 TB disks, I expected space efficient drive to increase to about 7.5 TB but the single volume 'data' (containing data, snapshots, and free space) is only show as a totla of 5.45 TB. X - RAID is enabled and the type is presented under RAID 5.

  Did I miss something? I expect the combination of three identical drives translate into an effective capacity of two drives with the third for the protection of the data. I hope I do not need to do a full backup then format all disks and rebuild the volume, do not do was an attraction of X-RAID.

  I can't find anything in the search, my apologies if I missed the answer. I'd appreciate any help to solve this problem.

  Your volume is currently resynchronize. I'd wait for this synchronization complete.

• RN204 stuck to re-sync data.

  My RN204 became unrepsonsive a few days a go. the power button on there is no effect hold do not force a shutdown. I had to disable the freezer

  Now, when startup it is stuck at "Data Resync 2.33%" it was at this point for more than 24 hours.

  It can not be found using RAIDar and web administration application password, but this page fails to load. Ideas is not next todo of course another cycle of power, that's what it takes.

  Running OS 6.4.2

  Not saved the RN204 yet. Recent purchase therefore with the 90-day support on seems to last 90 days?

  To stop the continuous rotation of the disc I put a disc removed off and back turned on. The disaply front just told DGRADED of DATA.

  I replaced the drive stop then turned on. Appear to be well, starts as usual, but has now no volume data. Will post new question because it's totally different to the original problem.
