time machine

Hi. I have been running OS X 10.11.4 (beta) on my 21" iMac (2013). Its been running sluggishly, so I decided to revert to 10.11.3. Made a boot drive and did a clean install of the OS. Before I did that, I made one last backup using Time Machine. This was on top of the regular hourly backups...

Hi. I'm currently using Mavericks and I want to upgrade to El Capitan in the next few days. What I would like to know is if my mavericks' backups will work with the new osx (i.e., will I be able to access files on that backups?). Also, I would like to know if I can use the same hard drive to...

Hello to all community, This topic is to know what kind of experience you had with a Synology NAS and it hosting many Time Machine backups, so as to know if I am the only one having a disastrous experience. I aimed to keep all first-line backups in the same place, namely the Synology NAS, so...

I recently received a machine upgrade at work. I've always backed up with Time Machine. I thought my Notes were backed up with TM, but that was not the case (trust me, I've looked high and low, they're not there). I don't think my old machine has been erased yet, so I can still get my Notes off...

Hi, My problem is a little bit complicated, let me start with some background: The MacBook Pro had 1 internal volume (a Fusion Drive, say, F) before, but have 2 internal volumes now(a HDD and a SSD, say, H and S). I have Time Machine backups on an external hard drive, these backups were came...

Hey Guys, recently I've been nothing my Mac's SSD Storage consistently go down by about 20mb every couple of minutes. I have run DaisyDisk and GrandPerspective to help me locate the culprit but to no avail. Is there anything you guys can do to help me locate the offending file/folder/program...

Hi everyone, I recently had to wipe a MacBook Air, and after I was done restored the machine from a Time Machine backup taken only moments before beginning the process. Afterwards, it would seem that all the local folders within Outlook have gone away, and I cannot seem to get them back...

Hi there, I just bought a 2TB Time Capsule and am looking forward to setting it up. That said, I've been doing research about moving my iTunes and iPhoto libraries to an external to be used with the TC for wi-fi access. I understand that if you partition the TC HD that it won't back up whatever...

Just got a computer upgrade through work and IT did the data transfer. I lost all my notes. I know they must be on my time machine backup somewhere (not on iCloud, already looked). When I searched the topic, it looks like they would be in users/library/container, but when I go to users on my...

Hi guys. I'm trying to sort out a problem. I'm going travelling in April for a few months and I don't want to take my laptop with me as it's heavy and I don't want to risk theft or damage. I know that if you use a Time Machine backup to an external hard drive and plug the external drive into...

Hi all, I believe there is a conflict in my library that was causing audio problems. The audio problem stopped when I did a clean install of El Capitan, however, when I used Migration Assistant to restore my system I noticed that the problem returned. Because of this I wish to restore only...

I have an iMac 27" Retina 5K (Late 2015) El Capitan (10.11.2) and Windows 10 via Bootcamp. This morning after I had finished some work on the Windows side of the machine, I tried to boot up into El Capitan but it silently failed and the machine turned itself off at about the 2 minute point...

Is anyone experiencing Wi-Fi issues regarding losing internet connection from your Mac when one has setup Time Machine to backup over said network? I have no problem with my internet connection over Wi-Fi on my iPhone running 9.2 but on my month-old MacBook Air running 10.11.2 ever since setting...

Hi, I had 2 backups in time machine, but for some reason I needed to delete the backups from the USB disk. Now what will happen when I run a new backup job? WIll those backups re-created by time machine app? Or do I have to delete old backups from my computer using time machine app? Or anything...

I've been wondering... would it be possible to: – backup my data on external disk – downgrade my iMac to Yosemite clean install – restore *the most recent TM 10.10 backup* – restore the external disk backup – delete all backups made by 10.11 – make a new backup from Yosemite ...thanks to which...

I just setup Time Machine to use a HDD connected to my Asus wireless router. I chose at setup to make it an encrypted backup but the drive doesn't seem to ask me for a password until I try to mount the sparse bundle named after my Mac. Also no password while connected to the router unless it was...

I currently have two independent TM backups. One started off as the clone of the other. I did it such a way that Time Machine thinks that they are the same TM backup when I plug in either drive, which is not what I intended. This means if I plug in TM Drive A, perform a backup, dismount and...
