Get data out of a dead A1409

My 3 TB Time Capsule (model A1409) died this weekend.  I have no lights, but as many others have noted, the HD seems always spin.  But that's all.  I doubt that a power spike has taken, because it is behind a backup battery with surge protection system well, surge protection, etc..   That said, and to counter suggestions from iron soldering, I am not a probably being able to disassemble things, replaced components, etc...   Yet, I'm pretty disappointed by this failure.  And all of this leads me to two questions.

The biggest question is this: has got apple any better quality/design on these things, or this time I should consider a backup drive and a wireless router not apple?  Right now, money IS a problem for me (sad to say), so if I invest, I want something that won't die because he is in power, or has flaws in design or components, etc..   I prefer to buy something I'll take later out of my network because the technology has evolved, not because he has not (make sense?)  What makes desirable TC, is the Nice packaging and ease of use.  But here, the story seems to suggest I COULD get 3 years out of one of them and then have to redo all.  Apple still cleaned his behavior on this product?   Is there a reason to believe that the latest generation of 3 TB TC is any more stable/reliable than older?

Second, while I use the hard drive as a backup for time machine target, I DO (?) have some files on there, use it as a server for my office.  Most of the files are no big deal, but there are a few that I want to go back.  (I have backups off-site at home for the time machine backups that I can still use...)  Y at - it a hope of recovering files of the HD on old A1409 (Broken), and if so, what would that take?

BTW, I use a MB Pro, version end of 2012, using to El Capitan. 10.11.4

Thank you

But here, the story seems to suggest I COULD get 3 years out of one of them and then have to redo all.

A lot of electronics is now designed for a duration of 3 years... modems and routers for home use are at a price... as is the TC. It is not surprisingly when it works 24/7 in a box that is too small and with everything so close to the tolerance they fail after a few years... That's life in the throw away age. Cheap stuff that doesn't last.

Is there a reason to believe that the latest generation of 3 TB TC is any more stable/reliable than older?

No, it's the same... but the current is well late replacement, so if you can maintain the broad do so.

The cheaper alternative is a USB key that you plug into the Mac. It is more reliable and faster than a TC, but long term that bothers.

The best replacement is a Synology NAS QNAP. You can buy the small version of 2 disc for say $200... and another $ 300 for drives... that puts the price of $500 for a basic model enough. You can buy cheaper single drive NAS as WD MyCloud that do not offer backup TM for a computer. It seems that people have problems with more than a backup. I use synology NAS now and he can back up several computers and has been reliable... However you should not think that it will last forever... the discs themselves are often the weakest link... and you may need to replace the discs after a few years.

At least they are designed to be repaired and replaced the discs... Apple design the TC sealed and there is no access to anything and without even spare parts.

Most of the files are no big deal, but there are a few that I want to go back.  (I have backups off-site at home for the time machine backups that I can still use...)  Y at - it a hope of recovering files of the HD on old A1409 (Broken), and if so, what would that take?

You must buy a USB to SATA disk shell or pregnant. Any big computer store has them. Buy the last type of USB3. They will cost $10-20 for the cheap.

Some of them may be difficult to use so I recommend you to buy this sort of thing.

OWC tend to specialize in Mac stuff. So you can talk to them and get advice.

Remove the hard drive from the TC.

This is a no job soldering iron...

https://www.iFixit.com/device/Apple_Time_Capsule

You need a heat gun... (the hair dryer works fine). Heat the rubber mat background full 3 min with a hair dryer on the highest heat and lower air circulation. Carefully take off the rubber... should not be divided... If he catches apply more heat, and no more pressure.

Then you need a small Phillips screwdriver.

Remove the 10 screws of 2mm at the base.

Not just pull the cover up... the fan is connected to the base... Follow the pictures on ifixit site and return the cover so the fan cable is not pulled.

The hard drive can then be disconnected and came out of the shell...

Remove the stems of 4 screws from the base of the drive with your screwdriver or pliers if it is large enough.

Place the disk in the USB case... Plug it into the Mac.

Your files will be accessible from the Finder now... If you have any questions to talk to me.

Now, what will you do with the shell...?

We know in fact the fault is bad solder.

This is a recommended way to fix it. Just the jury with all removed in the oven and cook... This will achieve a reflow of the solder... and it seems to be quite successful to bring back them to life. YMMV.

  • How to get data from an Excel file exist using report generation tools

    I try to use the Excel vi get the data of the report generation tool, but I can't understand how to activate a path can be explored in the right type for the VI.  I tried to use the new Report.vi, but this does not work unless you use a template.  It will not open an existing excel file and make an open report to extract data from.

    Essentially, I have a bunch of excel files that have data in them, and I want a VI allows to analyze the data.  I'm going to pull in all the data directly from the excel file so I don't have to reproscess them all in text so I can use the more standard datasheet live but to convert even the excel file programtically in labview I still need to be able to open the excel file and get the data?

    I found my problem.  It turns out that only not to have had a problem with the tool box new report vi.  I had accidentally wired an input control of path of folder instead of an input control of path of file to it.  Changing the file type took care of her and I was able to access excel files, I tried using the new report VI to extract the file, and Excel Get Data to extract the data.

  • How to get data from vROps?

    Hello

    In older versions, we could get out vROps via an adapter of repository data. But with vROps 6.0, I couldn't find that everything about repository adapter and the other as the HTTP Post adapter. I've seen a few posts on CaSa API and SDK, but there is no documentation on this topic. What can I use to get data on how do I configure it? I'll be happy if I can help.

    Kind regards

    Hi Ramazan

    The API of CaSA is Cluster and Administration of the Group and is located at https://vrops-url/casa

    I have not found any documentation for it.

    What you need is https://vrops-urlsuite - api

    It is a small site with sample code and complete documentation. You can even call the API directly from your browser!

  • delete other data out of my iphone

    OK, I tried all suggestions to delete the "other" data out of my phone, including a restoration. Restore seemed to work until I connected to iTunes again once and then he came right away. I have 4.38 GB of data and no amount of cleaning browser cache or the removal of all discussions of the message seems to be working. I have an iPhone running iOS 9.3.1 6

    Any help out there?

    Did you restore the backup? If so, you may need to do a restore as new as the backup may be corrupted. Restore the backup can bring back the question.

  • Office toolkit 'excel get data' cannot read anything else of integers?

    I use LabVIEW 2009 and can not get LabVIEW to read non-entiers to a worksheet.  In the attached example, I put a breaktpoint after the new report vi, and and when it hits at this breakpoint I put a number as 1,234 in cell A1, and then continue execution.  But the 'data' outputs always return an integer value.  Even tried to change the format of the output of the data field.  I also tried to replace this with vi (LDM) Excel Get Data in the folder of the Toolbox, but got the same result.

    When I tried the same thing in LabVIEW 8.0 it worked.  No idea what I am doing wrong?  :-)

  • Apparent problem with OpenG Get Data Name_ogtk.vi

    The data Name_ogtk.vi Get OpenG is a function that takes a data Structure and returns the name of this structure if the Data Structure has a name.

    I use it in my Configure.vi. Configure.VI takes several data structures and saves / loads to an INI file. The name of the section in the INI file is the same as the name of the Data Structure. When loading, Configure.vi takes the name of the data structure to load and locate the Section in the INI file with the same name and then uses the items listed in the INI section to load the Data Structure with the data values.

    In my case, I have 3 sections. Two of the sections, 1 Servo and Servo 2 derive from the same Type definition. I am trying to load 3 of the attached INI file data Structure. The Config.ini in the system file has been generated by the backup function Configure.vi. I'm passing in the routine of the load, 3 Data Structures, each with unique names. I have an explicit call to get the data for Servo 1 Name.vi and 2 Servo. But the probes on the output of the Name.vi of data values get two return to the same 'Servo 1' same string if sensors on the Structure of data entries that clearly indicate them the unique names of the "Servo 1" and "Servo 2" respectively.

    It seems that the 2nd Get data name returns the name of the Data Structure 1 by mistake. If anyone can check this?

    Does anyone know how to fix Get Data Name.vi so that it returns the appropriate data Structure names?

    Thank you.

    I was able to reproduce it and I show here as an oddity to force entry to the variant on the primitive flat string Variant.

    Basically, if you have more than one cluster with content command to match the type and order wired directly to this function, it returns the flattened string which is first to each call.  The wires must be wired without before converting to alternative, if you have points of constraint.

    This only happens if you feed directly the input varying both and get the stress points.  If you are using a variant is not the case.

    I found that this occurs if the cluster is of type defined, and it does not occur for constants.  I didn't try other controls.  I'll be honest, I'm usually used to constrain to the Variant.  I'll be more careful in the future!

    ----

    so convert to first variant will solve your problem.  In addition, if you leave the entry of the section name of the variant config openG write screw unwired, he will take the name as it is the research of the control, you did, so you need not the name of data Get there at all.

    An excerpt from 2009.  as - is equal to true.  The bunches are each a dbl and a bool, but each FP different controls.

  • get date and time seconds

    I am using get date time in seconds, the function to send the date and time to a sub vi where I can use it to calculate the time difference in timestamps of waveform and the hour when he began to get the time in seconds. So I wanted to know if I pass this value to a sub - vi will be this value constantly updated in the sub - vi or it will remain constant until the sub - vi is finished.

    Yes it will remain constant because the time was read only once, to hand.  Any value is passed to the Subvi remains the same.  If you want once updated, you must put the function get Date/time inside the Subvi.

  • Getting data from the nodes of event data

    Hi all

    I have a while loop with a Structure of the event and a Structure of case inside. The Structure of the event a lot of cases, and each of them is controlled by a different object (buttons, sliders, graphics, etc.). Sometimes, I have to use data from the nodes of event data to power a Business Structure that works like a State Machine in my code. To clean the block diagram, I want to 'export' data nodes using a single wire event data, but this is not possible because there is a conflict of data, since I get data of CtlRef in one case and Coords in others (for example).

    To resolve this problem, I'm feeding a beam to create a cluster and feed it to the box Structure data. However, the process is so painful, because I have to feed the Bundle function with constants of all sorts of data connected to him.

    Find attached an example. It is not the actual code but shows what I have to do.

    Thank you

    Dan07

    Why you do not pass a Variant to the structure of the case. In your case case simply make a variant of the appropriate data that you want to pass. I guess the case appropriate business structure will be to get called for the event. Given that you need to know the data type this case awaits can use the variant data VI and now you have the data you want.

  • Get data from transient attribute to another VO

    Hello

    I created a transitional attribute in a table, how do I get the data in the other table.

    My requirement is

    I have two tables are ministries and officials, Dept_effect_date is a field in the departments, I need this field with data in the original Version used. I created the transitional VO employees with the same name attribute, but can't hw I get data data same Department for emp?

    Sainaba

    You can get the value of the current row in the main table and place it in the secondary table.

    Line curRow = masterVo.getCurrentRow ();

    or if you have a relationship master detail then go into your viewLink and see the name of the accessor here and write your expression like this

  • Find the beginning and end of a month using get-date

    I am currently using get-date to run reports on past events by subtracting the number of days from the current date.  I would like to make the report so that it automatically determines which was the previous month and captures all events for this date range.

    For example, if it's on 6 February, the report capture data from January 1 to January 31.  If it's on March 23, the report capture events from February 1 to February 28.

    Is this possible?  Here's my current status:

    Get-VIEvent-beginning (Get-Date). AddDays(-35)-done (Get-Date). AddDays(-5)

    Thank you

    Try something like this

    $now = get-Date-time-Minute 0 - 0 - 0 second

    $daysBack = - $now. Day + 1

    $Start = $now. AddMonths(-1). AddDays ($daysBack)

    $DaysInMonth = [DateTime]: DaysInMonth($Start.Year,$Start.Month)
