• Time Machine backup is not Backing Up all my files

  On my Mac, I used about 450 GB of 500 GB available on my hard drive (as shown in 'about my Mac'). But when you click on the Menulet of Time Machine with a Time Machine backup on an external hard drive, it says "Backing up 28.68 35,65 GB".  Why is it only backup 35,65 GB on my 450 GB of files & data?

  Thank you!

  Time Machine backs up only changes since the last backup on your Mac.

  The first backup, Time Machine copies on everything from the Mac to the time Capsule. After that, changes are saved with each pass.

• Time Machine backups do not complete

  My main problem is when I start a Time Machine backup, it works quickly for an hour or two and then slows down to a crawl and never ends.

  I'm on 10.11.1.  I reformated my Time Machine backup disk to try to begin to clean up two or three times and I have the same problem.

  It started when I updated to El Capitan.  My original backup has been corrupted.  I reformatted the drive and now I am at this point.

  These must be run as administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.

  Please launch the Console application in one of the following ways:

  ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

  ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

  ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

  The title of the Console window should be all Messages. If it isn't, select

  SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ all Messages

  in the list of logs on the left. If you don't see this list, select

  List of newspapers seen ▹ display

  in the menu at the top of the screen bar.

  In the upper right corner of the Console window, there is a search box to filter. Enter the 'Start-up' (without the quotes). You should now see messages in the log with the words "departure * backup," where * represents one of the words "automatic", "manual" or "standard".

  Each message in the journal begins with the date and time when it was entered. Note the time stamp of the last 'Start' message that matches the start of a normal backup. Now

  DELETE THE WORD 'Start' TO THE TEXT BOX

  so that all messages are showing and highlight the newspaper at the same time, you noted. Select the time-stamped messages since then until the end of the backup or the end of the log if it is not clear. Copy to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command + V.

  If all you see are messages that contain the word 'Start-up', you clear the text field.

• Why is Time Machine backup 2 times every hour?

  Time Machine backup to 24 times per day. Backups seem to be monitored hourly backup of 2-5 minutes later.

  Yes, it is possible. After hours of that backup Time Machine check if changes have been made during the backup. This can cause an additional round of backup (usually short).

• Why my Time Machine backups are sometimes surprisingly high?

  I've got Time Machine on a hard drive external and everything seems to work fine, but every day the backup is surprisingly wide - as in, 30-50 GB or more. I'm certainly not do anything that would lead to these major changes - no video editing or anything like that. Time Machine is set to the default backups every hour. What also confuses me, is that I've got Time Machine will a player all the time (well well, every hour) and also an extra drive I plug in every day or two. 'All the time' by car has just been a 30 GB backup an hour - and now I plugged the drive "every day or two", and that's just make a backup of 1.4 GB, even if it has not been saved since yesterday. Why is this happening? It's sort of expected behavior? Why a player thought he had to be updated with 30 GB, and the other drive think it only needs to be updated to the same situation with 1.4 GB?

  Speculation: would be updated to it somehow in my library of Evernote? (Which is about 30 GB). As far as I know Evernote is not supposed to change a lot, but maybe the changes I'm making some notes are somehow make a brand-new 'package '. Or, would she be Plex-related? My video library for Plex is on a separate hard drive, but is there some kind of another image for this on my main computer? I have no idea if either of these possibilities in any sense, but these are only guesses than i've got, and I only started to use Plex a month ago - which is at the same time, this problem appeared.

  Thanks in advance!

  Could be the apps you mentioned. Here's the general idea: http://pondini.org/TM/9.html

• 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).

• My mac reboots, even in safe mode or using my time machine backup?

  When I try to install Yosemite in utilities, I don't have enough hard disk space. How can I access my hard drive?

  Time Machine backups are not bootable. What happens when you try to start safe mode?

  You can boot into recovery?

• Moving backups Time Machine - the operation cannot take place because the backup item is not editable

  I want to change the external hard drive that I use for my time machine backups. I went through the steps listed here:

  Time Machine: How to transfer backups from a current backup disk to a new backup drive - Apple Support

  It seems to work correctly. I shot TM back and adding the new drive. TM is now backing up files on the drive up, but there is a problem.

  For some reason, TM has begun to put backups "freely" for lack of better in the external hard drive, and not in the backups.backupdb folder for a week, then returned to save them in the backups.backupdb > ComputerName > files from backups. So in other words, when you click on the hard drive in the finder, it opens the player and you see a folder named Backups.backupdb and then a bunch of mixed in which files are backups time machine named 2016-01-24-XXXXXX, etc.. When you go to the folder Backups.backupdb, there's a more random "loose" time machine backup file 2016-01-23-XXXXXX, and then another folder with the name of computers and in the folder are all TM backups except loose ones I mentioned earlier.

  It seems that TM is working properly now, but I don't know why he put the files from the first days outside the backup folder. However, when I do drag, I get the error:

  The operation cannot be completed because backup items is not editable

  I want to just put all the files in the right folder so that I can A) keep my disk organized and (B) ensure what TM can find everything correctly should I have to go back.

  No idea what is happening and how to fix it?

  Although the documentation Apple says you can copy Time Machine backups in the Finder, it is very slow and sometimes does not.

  This technique works only if the volume that you copy to the same size or larger that that you are copying to.

  First of all, please open the Time Machine preference pane and click the Select Disk... button. You may be able to unlock the settings first, by clicking on the padlock icon in the lower left corner of the window. Log in as administrator.

  Remove the volume you want to copy in the list of backup destinations. Then turn off Time Machine.

  Launch disk utility, open the built-in Help and search for the term 'Double '. Follow the instructions. All existing data on the destination volume will be deleted. That shouldn't be a problem, because you do not want to mix non-sauvegarde and backup data on the same drive anyway.

  If the volume you are copying has been encrypted by Time Machine, you must first unlock it. Click the release button in the toolbar of the disk utility window.

  Turn Time Machine back on and select the new volume as a backup destination. Alternatively, you can continue to use the old volume, if you wish. Both will be alternated when both are available.

  ATTENTION: If you copy the volume is corrupted, as shown by the ERD or first aid in disk utility, while corruption is copied to the new drive. Do not copy data from a damaged on a faulty disk volume. Put aside the reader and do not use until you don't know that you no longer need the data. Then securely erase it and bring it to a recycling center. Do the same if the restore operation fails with "disk errors."

• Time Machine - there was an error preparing the Time Machine backup drive (could not mount the drive)

  I have a new HD but cannot set up encryption with system preferences. After ten minutes, I get the following error message:

  "There was an error preparing the Time Machine backup disk (disc name) - could not mount drive"

  Apparently, I need to set up the HD in this way:

  • If you are using an external drive connected to your Mac, use disk utility to make sure that your backup disk is formatted in HFS + extended (journaled) and is the partition type GUID Partition Table (GPT)

  It is not an option for the HFS + and so I used; OS x EXTENDED (journaled). GUID is ok.

  Can someone let me know what I need to do.

  Thank you

  Formatting: GUID Partition Table, OS X Extended (journaled).    (it is HFS +)

  For TimeMachine at best to a partition only.

  Do it again if necessary, then disconnect, reconnect, Start Time Machine preferences and "select disk".

• Restored HD from a Time Machine backup of my old iMac (stolen) from my new MacBook Pro.  Not all the files have been restored.

  My iMac 27 "(2011) so my wife 13 '' MacBook Pro (2011) were recently stolen after our House was robbed.  My wife got a new MacBook Pro and I restored it successfully its data (selected "backup restore Time Machine" during the installation of its new MacBook Pro).  However, I also got a new 15 "MacBook Pro in lieu of the iMac 27".  I have, once again, selected "Restore from Time Machine backup" (selected the iMac as the backup source) when installing my new MacBook Pro.  When it was finally over, I told Time Machine to inherit from the backup.  Unfortunately, none of the files in the My Documents folder or the photos in my photo library have been restored.  Was it a bad idea to try to use the backup of the iMac as a source for the MacBook Pro (both running El Capitan)?

  is it possible that your documents are stored on another drive which was not part of the backup plan? or is the HD in the big enough MBP to inherent the old backup.

  If you open the time machine with the original backup disc, you should be able to browse the content

  

  If the files are found, you can restore by right-clicking (or CTRL + left mouse)

• Disk utility does not not what Time Machine backup connected / file Vault question?

  Hi all

  I'm on Mac OSX El Capitan 10.11.3 (15 d 21) on a Macbook Pro 8.2 (early 2011)

  Previously, when File Vault was not activated I've been able to backup on my external drive for Time Machine (1 TB store Transcend jet) and the drive was visible when opening disk utility no problem...

  Now since I have encrypted my first Macintosh HD using File Vault, my disk utility program will not load when my Time Machine (unencrypted) external backup disk is connected, and I can not back up by using the application Time Machine (the player is simply not visible).

  When my external drive for Time Machine is not connected, my disk utility opens very well and I can see my Macintosh HD all external USB drives.

  I tried to re-boot, I tried to disconnect all external devices, I tried to connect the Time Machine drive with two USB ports and I tried to open the first disk utility, and then connect the external drive for Time Machine without success.

  Anyone else have experience with this problem or something similar? Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you very much!

  Connect your Time Machine backup disk

  Open a Terminal

  Diskutil type: list

  Paste the results

  Should look like this screenshot.

  

• Time machine, overwrite is not old backups

  Hello

  At home I'm under Time machine on two MacBook Pros, each with 500 GB of HARD drive.

  Time Capsule has 3 TB, and it has worked for years with no problems.

  At my office, I use Time machine on a WD MyCloud to have a website out of backup.

  I booked 2 TB for the time machine backup, but on the MyCloud WD, time machine does not replace the old backups.

  I work on a MacBook Pro of the retina loaded with El Capitan.

  What should I do to have time Machine by replacing older backups on WD MyCloud as well?

  Thank you very much

  Mokum

  Time Machine backup incremental backups after the initial backup.  It does not replace backups.  Time Machine only deletes older backups to free up space when the backup drive is full.

  Good day.

  Most likely your Photoshop installation was damaged by the restoration. Re-installing Photoshop CS4. You can find the latest version that has been published here: products CS4 download

• restored my time machine backup mac - restarts not successfully

  After virus/malware unusable safari, I used my 'time machine' backups to restore my entire system (10.10.5).  I had the "restore msg."

  By design, it restarts.  I get the apple logo and progress indicator, but the bar spend about a third of the way and restarting stops there.  I tried

  reboot several times with the same results.  I then repeated the procedure for restoring above with a backup taken a week before and got the successful restore msg

  but had the same result with the reboot.  Don't know what to do next.

  Starts in recovery (command-R) Mode and choose the option Install OS X. Have it reinstall the OS without wiping the drive. Who should make the drive to be bootable again.
