So I can't get my time machine to do its first backup to the time capsule drive. It has been 4 days now and still says waiting to complete first back up. It did back up to a drive called "data" but it doesn't let me go back in time like it should.
What to do?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7)
Hi blainerab,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact issue and configuration you are describing. If you are having issues with Time Machine and/or setting up Time Machine to work with your Time Capsule, you may find the following articles helpful:
