OS X Mavericks :: Time Machine Failed To Save Certain Data To External Hard Disk

Jun 26, 2014

What can be done if Time Machine failed to save certain data to external hard disk, but I do have the old hard drive? I have a new IMac 10.9.2. The old IMac was hit by lightning/surge. Restored data from external LaCie disk but some information is missing. Apparently Time Machine did not save it to the external disk, or we just can't locate it. We do haves the old hard disk and will put it in a box to be able to access it.

Is partitioning the answer?

OS X Mavericks :: Time Machine Backup Failed - Not Enough Space In External Disk

Sep 12, 2014

Time Machine reported it failed backup due to the shortage of disk space. But I see the total space of partition is 192GB,the whole backup snapshot estimated is 177.56G. 

The massage said that " failed backup, 52.85 GB is needed for backup but it's only  25.17 GB available."  

I know it's 166.35GB of ancient snapshot still exist, but why not OSX to delete it automatically and release more space for new snapshot? 

By the way, I can't delete those ancient snapshot in Finder manually, perhaps permission denied.

OS X Mountain Lion :: Restore Failed External HD To New Hard Drive From Time Machine?

Sep 11, 2014

Since the harddrive of my IMac was full, I added an external harddrive to the system for my photos. I use another external harddrive for time machine back-ups (backing up both the IMac and external harddrive with my iPhoto libraries). Recently the EHD with my photo libraries crashed. I now want to restore it from time machine onto a new external harddrive, but am not quite sure how to do this.

OS X Mavericks :: Lost Data After Time Machine Formatted Disk

Aug 22, 2014

I lost all data off my disk after OS X asked me if I would like to use my disk for TimeMachine.The disk was previously used on Windows, and contained data I thought I had a backup of. 

The disk was a NTFS partioned IOMEGA 1tb disk. After it got formatted by TimeMachine it is HFS+. TimeMachine made a first backup to the disk, about 100gb of data. De disk contained movies from a camera which I don't have a backup of. How do I get these movies back?  I've tried multiple software:

- Data Rescue 3 - Quick Scan: only files from the HFS+ partition
- Data Rescue 3 - Deep Scan: only files from the HFS+ partition
- StellarPhoenixMacDataRecovery: only files from the HFS+ partition
- TestDisk: no results

MacBook :: Switching Hard Disk And Keeping Data Via Time Machine

Dec 27, 2009

I have a 2006 macbook 2 GHz, upgraded to 4 gb ram and 160 HDD. I don't feel like i have enough space so i decided to purchase a new harddrive and decided a 500 GB would do me just fine Though, i have all my data on this harddrive. I was thinking on making a full disk Time Machine copy of my disk and then restoring the new harddisk with that copy. But i don't know where to place that copy, since it is like 130 GB which is quite a big archive.

OS X Mavericks :: External Hard Drive Not Appearing When Entering Time Machine

Jun 21, 2014

Why does my external hard drive back up on time machine ok, but when I enter time machine (and the external device isn't plugged in) i can't see it? 

It appears in time machine fine when the external drive is plugged in, but just not if it's been ejected or  

I want to have the ext drive backed up in case I lose it or it corrupts....and if that happens I won't be able to plug it in to see the drive in TM - does that make sense? 

I am running OSX 10.9.3 on a Mid 2010 Mac Book Pro. The external drive is a samsung and is formatted to Mac OS Extended (journaled). Time Machine is a standard Apple one and has been working fine for a couple of years

MacBook Pro :: Backup Data On Hard Drive When Time Machine Is Setup On External Drive?

Sep 5, 2014

Basically I have a 750GB hard drive in my Macbook Pro and over 300GB is taken up with 'BackUp' data. This is more than the total of everything I have on the drive other than that. Time Machine has always been setup on an external drive and when searching all files on the Macbook there is nothing for backup files so don't know where it is coming from.

We just came back from vacation 2 days ago; I checked time machine. It says latest backup is delayed; then latest backup failed; next backup when disk is connected. I have a WD external hard drive.

It is less than 2 yrs old.

Hardware :: Time Machine Backup Failed / Disk Appears To Be Read Only

Jan 1, 2010

iMac 2.66 GHz, 640GB hard drive, 4 GB RAM.

I have a Western Digital external hard drive used by Time Machine. Worked perfectly for a few months. Now every day, I get a message that a backup failed because the disk appears to be read only. I launch Disk Utility, and run Verify Disk It finds nothing wrong. I ask Time Machine to back up again, and it does and continues hourly for the rest of the day. The next day, the same thing happens all over again with the read only problem.

OS X :: Time Machine Can't Restore Files From Failed External HDDs

Jun 9, 2010

I just discovered that even though external drives can be backed up with Time Machine, Time Machine won't let you restore files from them if they fail. You can only restore files from a secondary drive if that drive is mounted, which is impossible if that drive has failed.

OS X Mavericks :: Time Machine - Multiple Addresses For The Same Disk?

Sep 5, 2014

I have Time Machine backing up to a network drive at home, and have recently set up port forwarding so I can access this drive from outside the network.

This means I now have 2 addresses for the same disk. 

How do I explain this to Time Machine?

-If I give it both addresses, will it figure out they're the same disk and write incrementally, or will it just back everything up twice?

-If I just give it the external address, it'll connect successfully but it'll be routing the backup through the internet even though I'm on a LAN (right?).

-I'm currently switching target disks manually as necessary, but this is obviously not ideal.

OS X Mavericks :: Time Machine Disk - Frequent Failures

Sep 3, 2014

I DREAD having to restart my Mac. Because every time I get met by a Time Machine 'unable to write' fault. And you can't reformat the disc (can't unmount)  with disc utility. (even unmounting with Terminal, and stopping indexing with Terminal, both of which fail) 

The only way is to plug the Time Machine disc into a Windows PC and reformat with that.

OS X Mavericks :: Suddenly Time Machine Often Backups Whole Disk?

Suddenly Time Machine often backups my whole disk. It has happened more than once, but it's not every time. Here is the log for the current and last backup.

OS X Mavericks :: While Attempting To Eject External Hard Drive - Data Ends Up In Trash

Aug 28, 2014

Rather than empty the trash which now contains all the data on my external drive I ejected the external drive immediately. When I ejected the WD external hard drive the trash bin no longer displayed any trash inside of it, and when I re-connected the external drive the "trash" (contents of my external drive) appears again in the trash. Is there a way to break the connection which has formed between my data on the external drive, and my trash bin? I was simply trying to eject my external drive as I've done hundreds of times by dragging the icon to the trash/eject area. I don't want to risk losing the data. I restored my computer, and upgraded to Mavericks.

OS X Mavericks :: Time Machine - No Sparse Bundle After Disk Replace

Jul 1, 2014

I have an external disk drive, with which I can easily replace hard disks. Normally, I use my 2TB disk for TM backups but I had to remove it temporarily from my disk drive. After I have reinserted it (everything was fine) and mounted it, TM did not recognize the old backup bundle and failed to backup, because there is not enough disk space available to create a new backup bundle. 

When I look at the root directory of my backup volume, I recognize that Finder has lost the sparse bundle bit and my backup is shown as normal directory. 

How can resolve that without erasing my disk and creation of a new backup??

OS X Mavericks :: Time Machine Unable To Select Disk Following Upgrade (10.7.5)

Sep 1, 2014

I have a 21" iMac and a Mac Mini, both of which I upgraded to Maverick a week ago. Since then, I have not been able to get Time Machine to backup. I can connect to the disk through my network, but Time Machine does not recognize it exists. I have gone through User and Groups, I have checked everything I can think of through System Preferences, and nothing has worked, including Sharing. I have another computer and am able to backup it, after programming the mini.

Hardware :: Time Capsule And External Hard Drive - Access Data

Mar 27, 2009

I have a new mac mini and a vista pc on the same network. I want to have my pictures, videos and itunes library on a time capsule so I can access them with my mac and pc. I will not be using time capsule as a backup drive. What I want to know is if I can use an external HD to backup my time capsule content. Would it be better to plug the drive to the capsule with usb or to the mac with fw800? The reason I want a time capsule and not a nas is because time capsule is a router at the same time, which means I save space on my desk and dont have to mess around with different components for my network to work fast.
