Why volume TM on my external drive recording also 2 other volumes to TM?

As above.

I have 3 volumes on My Passport for Mac external hard drive.  One is for backups of TM and the 2 others dedicated to Carbon Copy Clone volumes (just in case my mac turns on fire etc).

In Finder, when I attach my passport, 3 volumes appear, if I eject the 2 that I don't need it or not, the TM volume record as TM should, but it records also 2 other volumes.  What I am doing wrong?

Are you sure that TM is actually backup volumes on the same physical disk?

To open system preferences the Time Machine pref pane, then EXCLUDE what you do not want saved by TM.

  • Why the files are stored on an external drive not appearing in the "other" classification on my iMac HD?

    I'm running OS X version 10.11.4 on an iMac, retina 5 K 27-inch/3.5 GHz Intel Core i5 with 24 GB RAM/1 TB HDD and I have had for about a year, although I migrate some files over my old machine, but most were on an external.  I have almost all my larger files on an external drive 2 TB - for the most part hi res .eps, .jpeg, .png.

    I run CleanMyMac 3 as a utility. When I saw recently that I had more than 600 GB of 'others' I decided I have to spend the day to clean my files and machine - and have therefore been sucked into this rabbit hole.

    After cleaning duplicate files, empty the caches, removing unused applications and clean the external hard drive, I have still 570 GB of "other".  When you click on the bar in their own my Mac, it gives you a list of what is included in each of the classifications of file storage.  I understand, including all Documents to plain text, PDF and even files .docx, ect...

    what I don't understand is why:

    1 .pages (documents created in the clean Apple program) are not classified with documents, rather than as 'other '.

    2. why each of my .eps files that are stored on an external drive also claim space on my Mac?  It would potentially be the preview images displayed in the Finder? And if so, why it store a snapshot of the same size as the actual file?

    AND, most importantly, I can recover some of the disk space consumed by the huge amount of .eps files?

    Thank you

    'CleanMyMac' is a scam and a frequent cause of instability and poor performance. Depending on which version you have, the developer's instructions may not completely uninstall. Please follow these instructions, then do as below.

    Back up all data before proceeding.

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select this option:

    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac3.Agent.plist

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

    Services ▹ reveal in Finder (or just to reveal)

    the contextual menu.*, a file can open with a selected item. If so, move the selected item to the trash. You may be prompted for administrator login password.

    Repeat with this line:

    /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac3.Agent

    Restart the computer and empty the trash.

    You may also delete one or more of these elements in the same way:

    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac.helperTool.plist
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac.volumeWatcher.plist
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac3.Scheduler.plist

    Never install "CleanMyMac" or something like that.

    * 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.

    B

    For the other category in the display of information storage, see this support article. If the display appears to be inaccurate, try to rebuild the Spotlight index.

    Empty the trash if you don't have it already done. If you use iPhoto, emptying his trash internal everything first:

    ▹ iPhoto empty the trash

    In pictures:

    ▹ Show of the recently deleted ▹ file delete all

    Do the same thing in other applications like Aperture, with an internal feature of the trash. Then, restart the computer. Temporarily, which will free up space.

    According to the documentation from Apple, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the boot volume (as shown in the Infolog) for normal operation, not the mythical 10%, 15% or any percentage. You also need enough space to allow the growth of the data over. There is little or no advantage in terms of performance to get more free space than the minimum Apple recommends. Storage space you'll never use is wasted space.

    See this support article for some easy ways to free up storage space. A common waste of space is old backups iTunes to mobile devices. As shown in this support article, select the devices tab in the iTunes preferences window, select the backup that you want to remove and click on delete the backups. Keep at least a backup of each device you use yet.

    You can use a tool such OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore the volume and discover what is take up space. You can also delete files with it, but not unless you don't know you know what you remove and that all data is stored safely. This means that you have several backups, not one. Note that CESO works with OS X 10.8 or later.

    Deletion of files inside a photo library or iTunes will damage the library. Such a library should be changed within the application that created it. It is the same for e-mail files.

    Go further than if the problem is not resolved by the steps above.

    ODS cannot see the whole file system when you run simply by double-clicking; He sees only the files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you must run it as root.

    Back up all the data now.

    Install the application in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it runs.

    Triple-click any where in the text line below on this page to select, then copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination.

    security execute-with-privileges /A*/OmniDiskSweeper.app/*/M*/* 2>&-

    Launch the Terminal application integrated 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.

    Paste in the Terminal window by pressing command + V. You will be asked for your login password.

    The application window opens behind other open windows. When you scan a volume, the window will finally show all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.

    I do not recommend that you make a habit of doing. Do not delete anything as root. If something should be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then remove by safer alternatives. If in doubt, leave it alone or ask for advice.

    When you are finished with the app, he quit and also to leave Terminal.

    The left pane is a "choose one". "All photos" are just that. 'G' is a different option.

    Lightroom is not a file Explorer. He knows only the drives and files that you have imported the photos of. If LR shows not all of the photos that are on your hard drive, it is because you did not import all photos.

    If LR shows you a photo in "all photos" but do not show it in the folder you think he is in, go to "all photos", select the image, right click "view in the library folder. This will show you where LR think the picture is.

  • Why-letter from external drives gets changed in windows 7

    Hi all

    Can someone please advise, why the external drive letters gets changed even after changing disk management in windows 7.

    He worked for two days and turns again.

    In Windows, each external storage device is assigned a unique ID (UID). That UID and the corresponding parameters are stored in the registry. The seetings include the drive letter assigned as well. If one of the drive letter is assigned to tell the reader, manually, after unplugging it, the same drive letter assigned to the drive B, the letter for the drive B. For example, if A player is connected again, a new letter is assigned automatically. You may notice that the drive letter for drive B cannot be used as drive B is disconnected, and yet the settings in the registry makes Windows assign a new drive letter to a drive, like the manually assinged drive letter B is allocated for drive B and the next time you connect player B the same drive letter is assigned, according to the registry settings.

  • Transferred XP hard drive to external usb box. Records showing as empty on Win 7 64 system read external drive.

    I can see the folders but contents show as empty. Visible hidden folders option is checked. This drive was my first drive on my old computer which had XP 32 bit. I took the car and put it in a external hard drive Bay, so I could keep my files.

    Getting a family system Windows 7 premium, I am able to see all records, but very few files. Hundreds of pictures that worked on my old computer are now showing "empty folder" when seen on my external hard drive and the new operating system.
    I tried all the hidden and sharing files options that have been suggested. I do not erase all images on the disc, and now maybe 6 hundreds of photos show with all records showing as "empty".

    Help, please.

    Hi Carlscott,

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community forum.

    From your problem description, I understand that you are not able to find the files on Windows 7, after the transfer of files from Windows XP hard drive to external USB box.

    (1) what anti-virus program you use on Windows 7?

    (2) you try to connect the external USB box on another computer and see if you can find the files?

    You can deal with this problem because of the Virus on the disk external drive or USB key. If you use an Antivirus program on Windows 7, it will automatically delete the files infected by the virus.  In other words, that there is a risk of data loss. You may also experience this problem if bad sectors are found on the hard drive.

    Step 1: I suggest you run this Microsoft Fixit and check if it helps.

    Diagnose and repair Windows files and folders problems automatically

    http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/windows_file_and_folder_diag/

    Step 2: Download and run the latest Microsoft security on the computer Scanner and check if it helps:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    Step 3: I also suggest to check the hard disk for errors.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/check-a-drive-for-errors

    Important: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost

  • Use LR5. Because of volume and the size of the photos, I use an external hard drive. When opening LR5 it references only the local hard disk. How can I change the refernce to read the external drive. Thank you

    Use LR5, due to volume and the size of the photos, I use an external hard drive. LR refers only the Local Drive C not outside. Where do I change this by LR read the external drive. Grateful for the help.

    Thank you

    LR is not a file Explorer. He knows only the disks that you imported photos of.

    If you have previously imported these photos, then later moved into the external hard drive, go to the library files and "update location" Panel on the files that you moved.

    If you have never imported these images on the external hard drive, perform an import by using the option 'Add' (not ' copy') to keep the images on the external hard drive during import.

  • L750 satellite fails to record the external DRIVE of 1 TB as a HARD disk drive

    Hello

    I wonder if anyone can help with this problem?
    Please excuse the absence of computer terminology!

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L750/l755 (don't remember which) and my external hard drive recently failed to register as a reader. (Samsun Story Book 1 TB)

    For more than a year, it has worked without problem.
    Now, when I turn it on, it shows momentarily as a reader, even to the point of show files that it contained.

    If I'm fast enough, I can even open one of the folders, but then the reference of the car goes with everything, and I receive a notice indicating that 'G' refers to a drive that does not exist.

    Shows Device Manager hard drive external, and all, apparently, allegedly, works fine! I tried to assign a different drive letter, but nothing happens.

    My laptop accepts there is a reader connected, but fails to save it as a reader!

    I tried to use Knoppix to see if that could access it, but can't find where to change the bios to boot from the disk!

    Please can anyone suggest a solution?

    Thank you very much in anticipation.

    While turn on the power, press F12 to get a menu where you can change the boot device.
    Then you should be able to boot from the CD from Knoppix (or other Live bootable drive)

    But have you tried to connect this drive external DRIVE on another computer?
    In my view the issue looks like problem with HARD drive and no system or laptop issue.
