    MP 1,1-5,1 Restoring a MacPro 3.1 with OCLP Ventura and TimeMachine

    Here's a post describing my "adventure" trying to restore macOS Ventura with all its user accounts from a previous TimeMachine backup. A few weeks ago I tried to install Sonoma on my MacPro 2008 (3.1), which did not go well. While Sonoma did run and most applications worked fine, wifi and...

    Some of the files on your Mac cannot be backed up until Cloud Files syncing has completed.

    I continue to be bugged by the TimeMachine backup failure "Some of the files on your Mac cannot be backed up until Cloud Files syncing has completed."

    timemachine .. Your output of 'mount'?

    hi. i recently switch hardware and moved on to Ventura. Things are running pretty smooth so far: the new hardware seems to be sort of bored by my demands =D The migration went fine from what i see so far. My timemachine use case was to trigger a backup each day at 11:11 (with timemachinedit)...

    MP All Models Does MacPro has to be on to complete TimeMachine back up?

    I know there is a feature called power nap on notebook but there isn't on MacPro. I recently switched my HDD on my TimeMachine so I am starting a new back up and can't remember if the Mac has to be on until back up completes or not.

    TimeMachine: restore data after a downgrade

    My understanding is that it's no longer possible to restore the full OS and data using TimeMachine after a macOS upgrade, if you decide to downgrade. So for example if you are on Monterey and upgrade to Ventura, and then for some reason you decide to reinstall Monterey, you are not able anymore...

    Time Machine can crash M2 MacBook Air

    I'm posting this as a new thread, but it may be related to several other threads here about weird crashes with M1 or M2 Macs. A few days ago my wife's M2 MacBook Air started crashing every hour or so. The mag-safe light would flicker and then the machine would reboot with no error message or...

    Hi, I have the issue getting a APFS sparsebundle volume (copied to smb server) work with Time Machine by attaching the volume via "hdiutil attach /path/to/sparsebundle/" (for automated attach on startup).

    Copying Time Machine Disk - one more permission problem

    I might have some corrupted backups in my TM drive. And my TM does not always succeed to make a backup maybe because of this. Anyway the drive is full, so I bought a double sized disk (8TB->16TB). For my past experience, when I notice something is missing, it is usually acidentally deleted...

    CPU temps seem high, is this normal?

    Hi. I was using Audacity to record music from my keyboard (as in piano keyboard) with my PowerBook G4 that has Digital Audio in port. Then I noticed the CPU was getting up to 165°F when using Audacity, and 130°F when backing up HDD with Time Machine. Is this too hot for an 867 MHz G4 CPU? I just...

    Timemachine Question

    I'm pretty new to Macs and moving from a M1 Mini to a 14" MBP I received today. I am going through everything to make sure things copied over properly. When I checked on Timemachine, it said the next backup would happen when I was on power. Does Timemachine only backup when on power? I...
