• How can I migrate a time machine backup external USB drive to time capsule

  Searched the forums and can't seem to find an answer. With the help of El Capitan 10.11.6. You want to transfer backups Time Machine 4 years on an external USB drive on my new Time Capsule. Any ideas would be MUCH appreciated.

  There is no official method because it has problems.

  There's no official way.

  Here see Q18. http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html

  We recommend that people not me there. It has not proven reliable long-term. Start a new backup on the TC and keep the USB stick in the form of archive. After a few months or a year you won't have it.

  You have to understand the Time Machine backup otherwise locally the CF network. It is easy enough to move the backup network local but much harder the other way around.

• Cannot find files on clone super duper, I can restore from Time Machine backup?

  First of all, my apologies for cross posting.

  I hope I can explain my situation with enough clarity so that someone can help out me. I feel a little bit of panic.

  I've had a Mac mini that I sold so need to wipe. I first backed up using Time Machine on an external hard drive. Then, I used Super Duper to clone on a second hard drive. I didn't need a bootable copy of the training, but need access to data, applications, etc. on it from time to time. My intension was to access the data I cloned and stored on the hard drive of my current Macbook Pro. Well, that day came and I went to access my cloned copy of the mini and only see a list of users. I'm not able to find files, documents, and etc.even if I use spotlight to search for. So my questions are:

  1. Can I view the contents of the double machine differently to see more than a list of users? (that is WHERE IS MY THING?)
     1. I have error somehow in my approach?
     2. If I made the mistake with the super duper close, can I restore my time machine to the top of an external drive on another external drive? I want to restore my MacBook hard drive.

  Thank you!!

  I was running just an another SuperDuper! Clone.

• restored my time machine backup mac - restarts not successfully

  After virus/malware unusable safari, I used my 'time machine' backups to restore my entire system (10.10.5).  I had the "restore msg."

  By design, it restarts.  I get the apple logo and progress indicator, but the bar spend about a third of the way and restarting stops there.  I tried

  reboot several times with the same results.  I then repeated the procedure for restoring above with a backup taken a week before and got the successful restore msg

  but had the same result with the reboot.  Don't know what to do next.

  Starts in recovery (command-R) Mode and choose the option Install OS X. Have it reinstall the OS without wiping the drive. Who should make the drive to be bootable again.

• How can I restore my time capsule documents folder?

  I use an iMac OS X El Capitan and support up to a Time Capsule airport running.

  One of our user accounts on the iMac ran into problems w access to the apple of the user ID (could not access iCloud preferences, etc.) before doing a clean reinstall of the OS X software, so I opted to try to remove the problematic user account (another account has no problems) and then configure a new user account. It seems (the jury is still pending on that) have toured and account is running normally.

  My question now is to restore a subset of the records of the time Machine to the specific user. Is it possible and if yes, can you give me instructions on how to do?

  Thanks in advance.

  Migration wizard does not have the granularity you need. It is simply not possible to choose more great lines.

  So, you'll need to do it via the standard recovery... method that looks like you have never used.

  This is the basic method of use Time Machine, you will need to learn how do.

  TM open via icon in the dock. If this isn't in the dock it from applications.

  All you have to do is open TM...

  Go to the date when the user has always existed.

  Now in the finder as the interface.

  Go to the user that you want to restore... I suggest that you actually just take the folder of any user.

  Sorry I can't take screenshots inside the TM... so if this is not clear look at a standard youtube video, of which there are hundreds.

  It's the old version... but it is clear and well spoken.

  https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=6bcf54aRBPk

  Restore now all the folder to somewhere else... maybe not even on your hard drive, but on a USB key or a convenient place.

  Once the entire restored user to a location, you can then choose say all the documents in the documents folder and copy it directly to the new user that you created, file documents... same thing for music, even for photos etc... the actual application should always be connected libraries... which will make you within itunes or photos, etc..

  Our great master guru on this stuff is Pondini, who died some time ago... and it is a few obsolete versions... but it is always interesting to read.

  About the use of configuration and migrate...

  The real using TM

  http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html

  The restoration is Q14-17 and fairly detailed.

  I made an example using method pondini... just iphoto, but gives a good idea how do...

  Cannot access old files on time capsule

  If you want to just retrieve the documents folder say... Then, you can use the same method... Simply select the entire folder.

  The permissions problems arise often... but once the files on your local disk, you can correct them.

• How can I optimize my Time Machine?

  

  I keep getting this message that my Time Machine doesn't have enough storage. Is it possible that I can delete older backups or clear this so I can keep backup? It's a 1 TB backup drive and I have not 1 TB worth of stuff on my computer.

  

  The Time Machine works way is to pile up new files on top of old files until the disk is full. Then, he should be able thin files automatically to fit new backups... but if you do an upgrade of the OS for example... the backup is now too big to be successful. The backup cannot simply be thinned enough to do a new backup.

  It is recommended to delete the files yourself from the backup. If you want to try... the instructions are here.

  Q12 http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html

  She is rarely successful for more than a small amount of space...

  And you are quite likely to make the unnecessary backup by removing something vital.

  Our recommendation in that case is still every time you start on... erase the disc and simply start a new clean backup. This means that you have no history.

  Or buy a new drive... a 3 or 4 TB USB drive is really not expensive and will guarantee you the space for a long time to come.

  A 1 TB drive is not large enough for an almost full 1 TB drive... you should have at least 2 x the size of the disk and x 3 is much better... Be addressed or reader... but as you approach the readers become ineffective.

• I can't remove the time machine backups, I put it in the trash

  My backup disk is almost full, and I want to take on a value of years of backup files until I can get a new backup drive to perform other files that I want to keep. I tried their erasure of the finder inside the time machine, but nothing happened. I sent them to the trash, and they seem to have disappeared from my external backup drive, but are now stuck in the trash. I left the machine running all night to see that it says it cannot remove these files because they are locked. Can you please tell me what I should do now?

  Thank you

  Hello Suzanne,.

  Go to the trash and use "Put" place files back where they belong. Time Machine is designed to remove automatically the old backup when it is full.

• I have a MBP end 2011 running yosemite which is dead.  How can I migrate (from Time Machine) on a similar MBP (mid-2012).  I don't mind if I lose data on the MBP of the latter.  Essentially, I want my old MBP to take the newest one.

  My MBP end 2011 died.  I want to migrate its content on Time Machine to a bit newer MBP.  Basically the old MBP return to the most recent.  It doesn't matter if the data on the new MBP are lost.  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello

  Yes you can do it. Pondini (here) has a few options to do.

  You can also try Migration Wizard. See this article. But I'd go with Pondini, the guru of the Time Machine.

  Hi Gary,.

  If I understand correctly you are faced with the question with the Combat Flight Simulator 3 after installing a recent security update. You need to reinstall the game after you install the security update. I would say to contact Combat Flight Simulator 3 support for assistance.

• FTP settings can be retrieved from a Time Machine backup?

  I had to nuke my Mac and reload the OS, but I did not export the managed sites and FTP of Dreamweaver settings before you do; However, I have a Time Machine backup of the computer before I wiped the drive. Anyone know if I can recover the backup settings and copy them into the new installation? Two copies of the DW are the same and have been installed since the creative cloud. The only difference is the operating system where the old machine has the new El Capitan and Yosemite.

  I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination, Mac, so a little extra detail on explanations will be very appreciated. Thanks for any help provided.

  Yes, they can.  In your time machine backup, you will need to go to the library: Application Support: Adobe: commune: {Version}: Sites.  Just take this file 'Site' Time Machine to restore and you should be good to go.

• Restored HD from a Time Machine backup of my old iMac (stolen) from my new MacBook Pro.  Not all the files have been restored.

  My iMac 27 "(2011) so my wife 13 '' MacBook Pro (2011) were recently stolen after our House was robbed.  My wife got a new MacBook Pro and I restored it successfully its data (selected "backup restore Time Machine" during the installation of its new MacBook Pro).  However, I also got a new 15 "MacBook Pro in lieu of the iMac 27".  I have, once again, selected "Restore from Time Machine backup" (selected the iMac as the backup source) when installing my new MacBook Pro.  When it was finally over, I told Time Machine to inherit from the backup.  Unfortunately, none of the files in the My Documents folder or the photos in my photo library have been restored.  Was it a bad idea to try to use the backup of the iMac as a source for the MacBook Pro (both running El Capitan)?

  is it possible that your documents are stored on another drive which was not part of the backup plan? or is the HD in the big enough MBP to inherent the old backup.

  If you open the time machine with the original backup disc, you should be able to browse the content

  

  If the files are found, you can restore by right-clicking (or CTRL + left mouse)
