• You can use migration assistant to transfer the time machine backup external hard drive?

  Hello. I just bought a new macbook pro with a 256 GB flash drive to replace my previous macbook pro that had a breakdown of all the systems. My problem is that I have a time machine backup that is greater than 256 GB (it's almost 450 GB) and I try to find out if I can use migration assistant to transfer all the content directly on an external hard drive, then move the content I want on my hard drive from the external hard drive? My goal is to let my music and photos on the external hard drive and for all port hardware I need for work.

  I don't have access to another mac with storage well enough that I have the old HD so could potentially be installed in an external enclosure and extracted files directly from there if it's easier.

  What I intend to do in the long term is to buy a big external hard drive network and put all my photos, music etc over there and use the laptop as expected - that is for files from day to day - then it will be just a short-term problem.

  Any advice would be really appreciated.

  Thank you

  Nick

  Migration Assistant is user to transfer data from one computer to the other.  If I read your post correctly, you want to copy your data from Time Machine on another HARD disk.  Thia may be useful:

• Disk utility was unable to repair the Time Machine USB2 external HARD disk partition?

  Hello.

  My client has problem with its USB2 500 GB Seagate FreeAgent Go since early 2010. There 2 partitions: FAT32 and HFS (for most Time Machine backups). After connection and enter its password valid successfully, it takes a minute to set up, and then a message that says "OS X cannot repair the «...» "You can still open or copy the files on the disk, but you cannot save changes to the files on the disc. Back up the disk and reformat it as soon as you can. "I ran disk with their verification utility. Both are problems with "invalid sibling link" and said the repair option. However, this repair option is grayed out.  So, is it not possible to fix it with free software on the disk except for the reformat?

  I used two different 15 "MacBook Pro (Mac OS X v10.8.5/Mt. mid-2012 lion and v10.10.5/Yosemite of the early 2013) with the same results, is not the MacBook Pros. http://imgur.com/a/OW0s6 for a couple screen
  s (shooting/capture) of Mac OS X v10.10.5/Yosemite. I also tried disk on its FAT32 partition checks, and found minor problems. They were repairable too unlike the encrypted HFS partition.

  Thank you in advance.

  Disk utility can't repair an error of invalid sibling link. You use Disk Warrior that assuming that the disk is always good. Otherwise, you will need to save what you can then reformat the hard drive. Exactly what the error message said.

• To transfer the old backups Time Machine from a hard disk external to the airport in Time Capsule

  Is it possible to transfer the old Time Machine backups from my external hard drive to Time Capsule airport?

  Having done this in the past, I can say that it is possilble... but is not anywhere near the amount of time and effort it will take to do this.

  Even when I was successful, Time Machine has started a new backup of the Mac... it has not added on the old existing backups, so I lost a good part of the backup on the Time Capsule space.

  This will be easier if you keep just on the hard drive for a few months... in case you need to go back and pick up a file... While the time Capsule built a new story backups tons.  After 3 to 6 months, you will not need the old backups, and you can erase the disc and use it as a spare part.

  If you want to try it anyway... see this article: http://pondini.org/TM/18.html

• Restore the folder from Time Machine backup external hard drive

  Hello world

  Is there anyway I can restore the folder music of time machine on an external hard drive?

• Setup Time Machine airport

  I'm looking for alternative ways solve my installation other than what I can find in the help and Apple product documentation.

  My problem: cannot succeed together upward with AirPort Utility. I have the latest version installed with OSx El captain. I have read everything I can find and I tried all 3 resets. Successfully, I can connect to internet with LAN line, so the Web Part works. On the TC light flashes orange.

  When I go through the selection utility poster AirPort an airport Time Capsule 10 element has 940. When I select it, the utility works for several minutes and then returns the error: "an unexpected error has occurred. Try again. ""Other options"and"next"buttons are grayed. Is the only one that is open "Cancel".

  Otherwise I can choose a 10, 941 of the wifi icon in the menu bar and a connection is established. This launches the AirPort Utility and connects, however, it returns the same error message. The internet is active with wireless unless I hit the button 'Cancel' on the AirPort Utility. If I hit 'Cancel', wireless connections is abandoned.

  It seems that the unit has two different names (contradictory), even if I forced reboot and restart the computer.

  Any ideas?

  Unfortunately, installation Guide for the Apple and other assistance doesn't tell you about software bugs in El Capitan... and before that, Yosemite... which can make it difficult for users who attempt to implement their products at the airport.

  It's the bugs that are crawling on your Mac which are originally the "unexpected error".

  So we can try several different things to try to get things for you. None of them are guaranteed to solve this problem, so it will take a bit of patience on your part if you want to try to find a solution.

  If you do, we need to know the number of brand and model of the modem or router/modem you use to connect to the time Capsule.

  The time Capsule should connect to your modem or router/modem using a permanent Ethernet cable wired connection... unless... it connects to another router from Apple.

  Then, in case we find that we are unable to use your Mac to set up time Capsule, you have an iPhone or an iPad handy that you can use?

• How to set up Time Machine via a HARD drive connected to the USB port on the router?

  Hi all

  I have an Arris Touchstone Data Gateway DG1670A/TW for my internet / wireless which was provided by my ISP.  There is a USB port at the back of the router and I was wondering if I could connect an external HARD drive to save the two Macbook Pro that I have in my house through Time Machine wireless?  If Yes, could someone provide me the details regarding how to set this up properly?

  I too, was thinking about making a 4 TB HARD drive - 2 and wanted to partition so that half of it would work for Time Machine and the other half I would be able to store photos that I take on my digital SLR and are in Lightroom.  Could this be a problem at all? I partition? or Time Machine just to use the available space and delete older backups to make room for additional photos?

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  A device third-party network attached storage (NAS) or a router is unsuitable for use with Time Machine.

  Apple has published a specification for network devices that works with Time Machine. No third party provider, AFAIK, does meet this specification.

  Apple does not endorse any device third-party network for use with Time Machine. See this support article.

  Network backup, use as destination an Apple Time Capsule or an external storage device connected to another Mac or a 802.11ac AirPort base station. Only 802.11ac base stations support time Machine, not older model.

• Time machine backup external hard drive

  Hi all

  I'm looking to move my iTunes library to a new drive external hard to free up space on my iMac storage internal 1 TB drive.

  My concern is the Machine of the time's up, is it possible that I can set it up so it will save the new external hard drive which will be my iTunes library folder?

  I am currently using Time Capsule with my iMac, but wonder if I can use it with the external hard drive.

  Any info or advice would be great.

  Thanks in advance

  Backups Time Machine is up as the startup disk (which is actually a volume and not a disc), it backs up external drives or other volumes on the internal drive.  If you want to save to an external drive to a Time Capsule and then use Finder to copy the files or search for third party software that automatically copies files.

• It seems my time machine and external hard drive are wiped clean this morning I started my computer. Is there a way I can know for sure if anything is salvageable?

  I started my iMac this morning find a message that I didn't stop my Seagate external hard drive properly. I always just shut down my computer, I do not close the hard drive first. Now the computer says disc is not readable by this computer. Looks like it's a goner but maybe not, I don't know. I can't tell if it's the same thing to my Lacie Time Machine. There are no backups on it. How will I know what to do? Nothing is salvageable?

  

  Try to run a disk utility to repair your disk of TM. It seems that there are 757 GB of backup data it me.

• Cannot access my backup time machine on external hard drive once I changed my hard drive

  Since I changed my hard drive on my mac pro book I can't access the time machine back up on my external hard drive. All the shows when I connect the hard drive, but I can't access it.  Any ideas?

  I use El Captain MacBook Pro (15-inch mid-2012),

  By changing the hard drive, you have also lost all preferences, including those for Time Machine. You can have success by cloning back from the old system to the new drive to get back them.

  Or, simply erase the backup drive, reconfigure Time Machine preferences, then let time Machine do a new backup.

• Time Machine backup external hard drives

  I've been using Time Machine to back up to an external hard drive.  External hard drive backups are visible in TimeMachine when the external hard drive is connected to the computer. How can I see the backups if the external drive is lost?

  External hard drive backup is buried in the backup.

  I strongly recommend using an alternative backup software like Carbon Copy Cloner. Allows you to separate the backups. Time Machine does not work.

• Loss of internet connectivity after the modem / router reset

  I have a BEFSX41V2 and a Motorola SB6141 DOCSIS 3.0 modem.  My provider is comcast.  After all devices reset, unplug the power and remove the cable / ethernet cable, I lose all access to the outside.

  The strange thing is that if I connect any desktop or laptop computer at home directly to the modem, I have access.  In this case, the link for the transmission light / receipt of data on the modem is on.

  I had to send signals of reset comcast several times but it does not solve the problem when the modem and the router BEFSX41V2 are connected.  In this case, the link for the transmission light / receipt of data on the modem is turned off.

  Are there additional steps I must take on the router to reactivate the connectivity.

  Thank you.

  George

  Have you tried to do a hard reset to the router and then reinstall parameters later? To do the reset, please press the reset button at the back of the router for 30 seconds while the unit is turned on. After unplugging and then start from scratch.
