• Adding a hard drive to Time Capsule will increase storage space

  I have one capsule 3 TB and and get time capsule backup fails due to lack of space.  I have connected a 2 TB hard drive to time Capsule.

  But what will happen now?  Time machine will share back up to two discs automatically.  Or do I have to put something else.

  You can't just add a player... TC has no brain at all... A normal NAS could JBOD configuration... in the TC, they are now and forever two separate discs...

  What you need to do is to move one or more backups on the drive you plugged in.

  The method for this depends on what you are trying to achieve... but you should be able to copy a sparsebundle existing since the internal drive of TC on the USB drive... the best way to do it is by ethernet wireless off and the USB (USB3, I hope) plugged into your Mac USB3 port.. The worst possible method using wireless for the USB connected to the TC.

  Once you copy the sparsebundle delete the original from the internal drive of TC to create space... then configure the TM in the computer that has the sparsebundle so that it points to the backup now on the USB... This may or may not work... but TM will say that it will start a new backup... what you hope, is that he picks up the existing sparsebundle and she continues to make TM backups.

• No problem if I defragment my hard drive every week?

  I do a lot of downloading and remove daily records, causing many fragments of hard drive.

  Someone has suggestions about any problem if I defragment my hard drive every week?

  Thanks in advance for your suggestions

  No problem for the traditional electromechanical drives.

  For SSDS, you do not want to limit this frequency to something much smaller.

• Sound weird coming from the hard drive, every Min or 2-Dell Inspiron 15R SE 7520

  Not really sure if this is still a bad question. This player has not yet failed. It's just making a weird noise, I have no idea what could be the cause.

  http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=XwYSdD4fyRU

  The ticking, in this video, is exactly the same. The only difference. Undermines the fact every 1 min, sometimes every 2 minutes... and sometimes all 3 or 4 minutes. And he just does the ticking sound once. not again and again.

  If a tick from time to time. You can hear only - when everything is guiet? Just a tick and it disappears for a while?

  Does that mean that my drive has failed? Reason why I'm asking. After a year of use, the hard drive has failed-It just died. Dell has replaced the disc/Msata too. It was near another year, with replacement. Is this a sign that I should back up and save all my info. Contact dell.

  IF kills laptop another disk hard-is there a chance of the motherboard is defective?

  Things that I've tried - defragment the disk, I even check and repair sectors... found nothing.

  Any help would be appreciated...

  thought about upgrading to an ssd, but I really want to do, if the motherboard is to kill hard drives?

  Thanks for reading

  Here I am again, a bit frustrated... Has achieved a good response when I posted... but nothing else after that... Different response of old Story/Issue...same... (((I thought of it out on mine)))

  Don't know if that's the right answer, but I thought that if there was someone out there with the same problem, it might give you some answers.

  After reading and Goggling... I found a few different answers... "My favorite, but NOT CORRECT"... Your drive is dying, you must back up all the files and save them to an external disk, before it fails... where there is a click or a bad sector... it will multiply and more.

  Of course, there is a simple answer from someone who knows nothing about the hard drive. But incorrect. Especially if you do not experience problems or blue screens.

  A hard click or clunk, may be two different things. Non of them pointing to a player out. Depending on the player, it could be a bad sector. It could be one of 2 things, "THERMAL CALIBRATION ROUTINES", or it could be "ADVANCE DRIVE PROTECTION".

  I don't understand how an any of them work, but a quick Google search should provide you with answers.

  On my drive a simple defrag helped. Now I hear the noise, every once and awhile. Sometimes I don't hear it at all in a session. You are not sure if it was a coincidence? But I feel much better knowing what to do.

• Why my external hard drive cannot be mounted or viewd by a Macbook

  Hello

  I can't see my HD exertenal from the finder.

  I do not have G-Tech HD and I use with TimeMachine. This HD has two partitions.

  The first is used for the backup with Time Machine, a macbook air, and the second partition is used to back up a macbook pro with Time Machine.

  It worked fine until I look in the external hard drive (partition macbook). Now, it is not possible to mount the external hard drive. From the Finder, I see no partition eighter the first or the second.

  I plugged it in an another mAcbook air and no way to see inside the external hard drive.

  Howerver, I pluggged in a 14.04 ubuntu and I was able to navigate through the external hard drive

  Why can I see the contents of the external HD with a ubuntu n not with a Macbook?

  And how can I solve this problem?

  See you soon

  El Capitan has permissions configuration much tighter than earlier versions of Mac OS X and it can become a problem to open files from a different computer. You need to tell us what OS you are running on all computers.

  I suspect that Ubuntu is having no problem because it does not under the same restraint of permissions.

  It worked fine until I look in the external hard drive (partition macbook).

  What you have done here, caused the change of permissions.

  Don't forget that connect a player directly on a computer and use it plugged into an airport will have different permissions issues.

  I don't have much in the way of a solution. Apple has changed repair them permissions on El Capitan.

  You have a Mac running an earlier version of Mac OS X?

• How do say I have this external hard drive more Time machine?

  I keep all my personal documents on an external drive that is still connected to my Mac via USB. For the purpose of this question, we will call it this disc "Lagavulin".

  In addition, I have a Time Capsule. Time Machine is configured to record its backups on the time Capsule.

  TimeMachine performs regular backups of my complete system, including the operating system, applications and settings internal to the Mac disk, as well as my personal documents that are on the external hard drive "Lagavulin".

  A few weeks ago "Lagavulin" behaved erratically, so I bought a new external drive to replace it. Let's call it "Ardbeg.

  I have all my files from "Lagavulin" to 'Ardbeg' in reverse. Then I threw it "Lagavulin" in the Trash because his performance was getting worse and worse. The transfer went very well, and all my files are fine.

  I put TimeMachine to include "Ardbeg" in its future backups.

  The problem is that TimeMachine still thinks that I have "Lagavulin", even if I is no longer the branch. When I access TimeMachine and look what is recorded in it, it always includes the files on "Lagavulin" in its most recent backups. Thus, each current backup has "MacintoshHD" (system files), "Ardbeg" (personal records) and "Lagavulin" (old version of the personal folders).

  How can I know TimeMachine that I own is no longer "Lagavulin"?

• Add 2nd HARD drive to Time Capsule - best practices?

  Hello

  I have an iMac running El Capitan at the end of 2012, supporting up to a 4th Gen 2 TB Time Capsule. The total size of my backup is 1.05 to. Incremental backups take the total space used on the TC to about 1.6 TB.

  Fear of the HARD drive TC will: phut that I, as a "belt and Suspenders" approach, yesterday signed a 2 TB Western Digital Elements HARD drive for the TC and other introduced Time Machine backups. He is currently conducting his first backup to the new HARD drive to the Mac OS extended (journaled) format.

  The iMac and the TC are connected via 200AV Homeplugs.

  I have two questions if you don't mind...

  Should I have copied the existing backups from the drive HARD internal TC for the new drive external HARD first, so that two backups are ongoing for the same item, with the same 'history', as they save in alternation? What is wise or even possible? As is stands, the new hard drive back up the iMac from scratch so if the TC HDD died, I'd lose all historical backups (they date back to March 2015), with just a very recent version on the new HARD drive.

  The progress of the backup on the new disk, while that connected to the TC, is slow. After that 11 hours I'm only 16 GB to 1.05 TB - it has not yet calculated the time remaining yet :-) I assumed connecting via Homeplug iMac would be more robust than the Wi - Fi for such a transfer of data. I appreciate there are several factors at play here - the size of the files, the indexing of the backup, the speed of the Homeplugs, age / my wiring standard, etc. etc.

  I would have been better connecting this direct drive new external DRIVE in the iMac, the first backup, then connect it to the TC to continue it's incremental backups replacing? Yet once, is it still possible?

  Thank you very much for any help. After spending only to Mac a few years back I love TM - I have never found a Windows backup system that has worked for me the way of TM.

  See you soon.

  Should I have copied the existing backups from the drive HARD internal TC for the new drive external HARD first, so that two backups are continue from the same point with the same "historical."

  IMHO you do it the correct way back up again.

  The story is not so important after a few weeks and months... If the computer was stolen for example... what you want to do is to restore the computer as is... and what you were doing last year is really little relevant... Even if the TC Gen4 goes wrong, the story is never likely to be lost by the TC Gen4... it just needs the disc removed to put in the work. But it's the current image of the computer which is always the most important.

  We found copy of the enormously successful backups. Although in this case it would have been possible to do an archive... always if you asked the question of what you need to do... Myself and several others here always recommend a new clean as backup being the most reliable method.

  I would have been better connecting this direct drive new external DRIVE in the iMac, the first backup, then connect it to the TC to continue it's incremental backups replacing? Yet once, is it still possible?

  This is a good question... EOP adapters can be very slow. Slower than wireless AV200 are a pretty old standard and the actual speed could be all about 30Mbps down... It might surprise you... and indeed there have been measured before.

  The problem is that Time Machine backs up differently on the local network FC drives... When you plug the USB key into the TC then it's a network drive and the backup will not be recognized.

  Pondini wrote a method to get around this.

  Here see Q18.

  http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html

  I have not tried... Bob Timmons that's regular shows here has and discovered that it was not reliable. In my view, that a backup is too important to fiddling so.

  However, leaving the USB drive plugged into the Mac and keep the local backup of very good sense. It is much faster and more reliable than the backups over the network.

  If you really want to have the backup on the WD drive plugged into the TC, then I recommend do you via ethernet... Remove the TC of the network if it is too far for a patch lead... you can save the current configuration (export from the main menu of airport utility), then plug it into the computer directly with a short patch lead... and the USB in the TC, the backup will be much more quick... less than one full day (24 hours) for 1 TB if all goes well. Once completed you can then put the TC via the USB back in the network location.

• My Time Machine is full. Should I keep it plugged in and turned on even if I switch to another external hard drive for Time Machine backups?

  My external hard drive, Time Machine is full. Should I keep plugged in m and, even if I switch to another external hard drive to keep backups with TimeMachine?

  There is no need to keep two connected external drives. Instead, I suggest you to buy a bigger external hard drive and transfer the backups that you want from the old to the new external drive, so you can use the old external drive for other purposes-> Time Machine: how to transfer backups from a current backup disk to a new backup drive - Apple Support

  How did you check the size of HARD drive?
  Well, as far as I know the Qosmio Player is pre-installed on the hidden partition.
  It is perhaps a reason for different size of HARD drive.

• Restore a hard drive backup time machine (how?)

  I've been Googling this and if you don't find a clear answer.  If you can point me in the right direction please do.

  I have a Mac Pro, and the system drive (a 850 Pro SSD Samsung I installed it a year ago) has failed.  At this point, I can't clone it, and the only recent backup I have is the Time Machine backup.  I have an old backup to clone (if all goes well bootable).

  What is the best way to install a new HD and restore from Time Machine backup?  All of the guides I can find mention using recovery recovery partition or on the internet, or which are options in this case.

  A proposal, it is something like:

  (a) in a way to format the new disk (starting from the bootable clone if all goes well?)

  (b) restart into recovery mode?  Will be (a) install the recovery on the new disk partition?

  I have also 4 readers installed in the Mac (now dead), I don't know if that complicates.  (System, data, and a clone of each.  The clone system is very up to date.)

  (I normally also note make backups with SuperDuper! but for a reason that has not been running on this hard drive for months.)  "And it's too late now).

  Thank you.

  (I'm on the latest version 10.10, not what it says in the signature.  The clone may be some 10,10 versions behind.)

  In particular, the directions of Apple are meaningless:

  OS X Yosemite: restore your entire system

  It is said in short:

  1. Replace the HD.  (Done, now there a disk not formatted instead of a system drive.)
  2. Make sure your Time Machine backup disk is connected and turned on... (of course, ok)
  3. Choose the Apple menu > restart.  (How do I?  There is no OS installed.)

  Etc., but if I followed these instructions I get no further than 2.  With the clone bootable in the computer, there just boots that and will not go into recovery mode (looks like the clone has no recovery partition).  So I'm stuck.

  Suggestions?  Thanks in advance.

• Why my external hard drive appears twice in Lightroom?

  My folders to Lightroom 6 are broken down into '2015' and "2016." However, under the section of the folders on the left, it lists my external hard drive twice, by 2015 one of them and 2016 in another. It wasn't a big deal, but when I went back and added the "Oct" file in 2015, he put it under the folder 2016 for some reason any. Folder does not exist "Oct" less 2016 on my hard drive, just in the case of 2015.

  I tried to move it and it won't let me (because, ironically, it is said there is already a file named "Oct" that exist - I know there are, that's why I want to move it where it belongs!) ». I don't understand what is happening. Very frustrating. Should I delete something and try again? Thank you

• I have restored my hard drive for time machine

  I have restored my hard drive of the machine after a malware infection, and now at startup, Finder opens the folder of DVD player. This does not seem to interfere with the normal operation of my computer, but I'm curious to know if anyone has had this happen. I use El Capitan 10.11.4 here's the finder window that opens at startup:

  

  You tried to delete the malware before you restore your system?  It is always better to do this first.  In addition, the backup that you used to restore your system before the malware infection has been took place?

  Edit: Go to system-> general Preferences.  Make sure that 'Close the windows when you exit an application' is checked.
