How to move a Time Capsule backup to a new hard drive

I've been running Time Capsule on an external FireWire drive Yosemite 10.10.5 running on a MacPro to 2012. It will allow more to perform backups and disk utility fails to remove the disc. When I run the disk repair, either via the recovery disc or a USB flash drive, they are not able to repair the disc and gives me the message: "exit code is 8." The suggestion is to backup the drive and then wipe and restore. I tend to remove the hard drive because it is the second time this has happened; the first time I erased it and started the Time Machine backup everywhere with the same external drive.

However, I am about to upgrade to El Capitan and certainly want the option to return to Yosemite if necessary.

What should I do to transfer the contents of the hard drive damaged to a new drive and always make sure that my computer recognizes it as a backup Time Machine valid? I can clone it right on a new external hard drive?

Thank you!

Yes, it clones if the drive is still ok.

On a MacPro, you have plenty of space for a real drive... or you can buy a USB key and just to make the clone.

However, my recommendation is to download and run Carbon Copy Cloner. You get free trial use 1 month anyway. Clone startup current Mac to a USB drive or internal hard drive. And make sure it is bootable... that makes it simple to restore a computer to your old operating system running. TM cannot produce a clone bootable... nor can utility that can clone a drive but not to create a boot disk drive.

Just keep the current firewire drive as that is the TM backup... I really doubt that you will get no improvement it cloning.

    You can move all your documents without problem, but not your
    installed programs. This is because there are a lot of references, in the
    Registry and elsewhere in \Windows, where programs are.

    There are a few third party programs that can get to those
    references and supposedly change them for you, but my experience
    try these programs is that none of them are perfect and use one of
    them is likely to create problems with some programs.

    Therefore, it is best to reinstall programs.

  • How to reinstall Vista on PC Toshiba laptop with new hard drive?

    Hard drive from my Toshiba laptop of sisters died as well as its internal fan and she asked me to fix it, well I got a new hard drive and replaced the dead with a new internal fan and works perfectly fine with a Linux Live CD. However, she had previously Vista Home Premium installed on it, and there was no installation CD, just 2 recovery discs. Now, I was wondering where I could get an iso image of vista UNACTIVATED so I can use his legitimate product for her key. (I also have a week to achieve and I repair to other computers as well, which are not a problem, so time is of the essence)

    Also, I have no money and can't afford to get a Best Buy installation CD, as the operating system has already been installed on the laptop/OEM computer. If that would be legal so getting an online and burning a black CD and use it to get Vista on this new hard drive of his?

    In addition, I know how to install its drivers, and upgrade from SP1 to SP2 via Windows Update Manager, all I need is a vista installation CD Home premium to get his computer upward and execution of how she wants to.

    Thanks for the quick response, so you're saying I haft to buy an installation CD to install legally?

    I advised you to start from the 1st recovery disk and if you have any problems contact toshiba at the link I suppied you with

    or follow the rest of my advice on borrowing a microsoft dvd vista and using your product key with him

    what he may not know is that microsoft vista dvd contains all versions of vista

    This is the product key that installs the correct version of the dvd

    There are 2 microsoft dvd vista a 32-bit and one for 64-bit operating system

    most of the computers unless asked when bought normally come with the version of vista 32 bit

  • Move all my data and OS to new hard drive

    Hello world

    Well, my problem is that my hard drive which I installed today is insufficient memory.  I can only have a hard drive connected to my computer if I want to transfer everything (including Vista Home Premium) to the new hard drive.  I installed the new hard drive and disconnected my CD player in the process so that both hard drives are now connected and installed ready for operation.  I know how to back up files in windows, but I want to spend all completely (cookies, programs, photos, Vista, etc.) or as much as I can.  I will have to reinstall the programs, but I don't want to reinstall Vista.  I hope that was enough information and thank you for your help!

  • How to put windows 7 64 bit on my new hard drive?

    Hello

    I have 2 years, this laptop Satellite L505-13j.
    My hard drive is damaged, slow, small. I buy the new hard drive, but I don't have the CD with windows backup and software for this type of laptop.
    Download windows 7 Home premium 64-bit and software for hardware on my laptop? Where?
    With the computer came only CD with windows 7 32 bit

    Original recovery image can not be downloaded.
    What you can do now is to install the clean version of the OS by using the original installation disc of Microsoft or to order the Toshiba recovery disc.

    Of course the second option is much better. To the original installation of disk aid will be very simply and you have activate OS version. Original Toshiba recovery disc can be ordered on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  • How to recover HP Recovery Manager after replacing a new hard drive

    Recently I have lots of BSOD saying Bad_System_Configuration_Info and I ran a boot hp test and my hard drive failed the short DST test, so I looked online and it says that this means that my hard drive has failed.

    IM planning to buy a new hard drive. I don't have a windows disk to recover my windows 7, so I tried to copy the recovery partition hp from the old drive to the new. I don't know how do it, I wonder if anyone knows. I have no recovery disks and I don't think I can order a so I want to restore my new hard drive without the use of drives and using the my old hard drives at hp Recovery Manager

    I bought the computer to the United States, but I moved to China so im assuming I want to buy a new HARD drive that is not Hp? I don't know if it will work yet cause I hear it must come from a drive HARD hp to work

    Hello

    You can choose the relevant HARD drive of any manufacturer you want, but if you want to re-create the recovery Partition, you need to do a "Factory Reset" with a set of recovery discs - if you don't have these, you will need to order them from HP.

    However, there may well be a workaroud allowing you to reinstall the operating system without having to buy these discs.

    Can you post back with what follows.

    1. the complete model number and the laptop Nr - see here for a guide to the location of such information.

    2 version full of operating system provided with your laptop (that is, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit).

    3. can you still read the activation key product of 25 characters on your COA label (don't post back with it, just to confirm if it is still readable) - an example of a COA label can be seen here.

    Kind regards

  • How can I reinstall the operating system on a new hard drive?

    I strongly suspect failure of hard drive on my old computer XPS 420. Data recovery isn't a problem. However, because the way I too lazy to buy a whole new operating system, is possible that I can transfer the installation of Windows Vista on a new hard drive? I told me that Dell will send me an installation disc to do, but how to make a record like this, and is there another way?

    I'm thinking of ghosting the HDD on another and the use of the recovery for nuke partition in a new facility, but it would even work?

    Thank you

    The simplest method, I prefer to install a replacement hard drive, is to clone the existing hard drive to the new, that will also transfer all applications and programs.

    You need an imaging utility, similar to True Image Home 2015.

    http://www.Acronis.com/homecomputing/products/TrueImage

    Acronis resize partitions transferred to match the size of the new hard drive.

    Hard drive manufacturers, also have their own free cloning software available, but it can be used only with their hard drives.

    First, install the new drive as the secondary and the image of the main hard drive in it.

    Immediately after the cloning, shut down the system, switch the data cable [SATA port 0] to the new disk, making the new master hard drive and see if the system boots properly.

    Start the system with only the new hard drive connected.

    Be sure to leave the original drive disconnected, until the new hard drive is working to your satisfaction.

    Before cloning a hard drive, make sure that the existing drive has no corruption or virus on it, because they will be transferred to the new hard drive.

    It will take a second SATA data cable, there should be a spare connector to SATA power inside the housing.

    What is obtaining a disc from the Dell operating system Vista OEM [If Dell still copies of this available media], but you can be out of luck unless you have a warranty from Dell, but it's worth a try to see what is happening.

    If you reside in the United States, or the Canada and are the registered owner of the computer, with an active warranty, a disk that contains the operating system specific to your system factory installed can be requested HERE.

    Note: Dell may impose a charge for the disc.

    If you do not live in the United States, contact the Support from Dell, which is located in your country.

  • How can I reinstall the window 8 for a new hard drive?

    I just got a new hard drive for Dell to replace the old, which is at the top and about to fail (according to the Dell diagnostic tool).

    Reference Dell included a record called 'Restoration of Windows 8 for Windows 8 64-bit products Support'

    I'm a layman, but can certainly replace the hard drive. What exactly should I do it (step by step, if possible) when I turn on the computer for the first time with the new hard drive in place. The disc should already be in the optical drive?

    Thanks, Alex

    There is not much to be done in any real particular order really.  It won't hurt to have the disc in the drive the first time that you start with the new player connected, but even if are not the worst case, you get a "no OS on this disc, press ctrl + Alt + Del to restart".

    When start you, you may need to press a special sequence on the keyboard like F2 or DEL or Escape to boot from the CD. He can say so on the screen, or it can just try first default (likely) CD.

    In any case, once you start from the CD, it is a wizard from there. Simply press 'next' and 'agree' and all that jazz to what Windows 8 is installed back. Then search for updates & restart for the next 4 days :)

  • 1720 smart hard drive detects imminent failure. do backup - how can I move my files when I get a new hard drive?

    Hi, I have "1720 smart hard drive detects imminent failure" made a backup, Gather I have to get another drive. How can I transfer my windows vista / files to new drive? Help, please.

    Hello

    There are different ways to do

    and these methods depend on your hard drive work

    hard drive manufacturers will normally provide the cloning to move your operating system software from the old to the new drive hard If your old hard drive still works

    Search for information on this subject on their Web site

    If you have vista business or ultimate, you can use the builtin vista complete PC Backup to move

    read the information below

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial145.html

    or if you have vista home version you'll need 3rd party software

    link below is an example of this:

    http://www.Acronis.com/homecomputing/products/TrueImage/index.html

    also to put your machine how you bought:

    1. If vista is preinstalled, you should have a recovery on your old hard drive partition

    You can recovery disks to reinstall on your new drive hard If the old drive still works

    ask the manufacturer of the machine how

    2. contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    3. or borrow a microsoft dvd vista

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  • Can I use a time capsule airport as my external hard drive?

    I have all the products in my house, 5 iPhones apple, 2 MacBooks, an iPad and an apple tv Setup.

    1 first question is the will of the time capsule (I'm looking at the version of 3 TB) Act as my external hard drive?

    2.second the capsule is essentially like a wireless router? If so,is the wifi for your apple products much better? If anyone could break it down into secular terms and highlight some of the advantages and disadvantages , I'd greatly appreciate it.


    (If your wondering I use my Macbook to store a LOT of music, photos, and surf the internet).

    Purchase of a disk external drive for my Macbook Pro is on the top of my to do list, I currently don't have 15 GB of free storage. I know that's not enough space for the computer to function properly. I definitely don't want what I just bought in March. Im trying to learn more about this kind of thing would have made very different when buying my Macbook if I could go back to March.I would be easily paid for the 256 GB of flash storage and would have probably just waited to buy it at all, until the so-called new macbook arrives soon.

    Once again thank you to all those who can help you!

    Mr.705

    1 first question is the will of the time capsule (I'm looking at the version of 3 TB) Act as my external hard drive?

    Although the Capsule is primarily designed to be used in conjunction with Time Machine for backups, it can be used as a network drive for file storage.

    2.second the capsule is essentially like a wireless router?

    He does. In simple terms, you can think of the time Capsule as a wireless router with an Ethernet switch and HDD.

    If so,is the wifi for your apple products much better?

    Not really. Your Apple products are designed to work with routers wireless of any manufacturer, not only those provided by Apple. However, Apple routers are simple to implement and the application to administer is available on both the Mac and iOS devices. There is a version that works on Windows PCs, but is currently outdated and does not support to administer the current base station 802.11ac airport.

  • Time Machine backup to two separate hard drives

    I want to have two full backups separately on two different hard drives, and I want to Time Machine for updating each drive separately so I always complete backup two drives.  How is that possible?

    Depending on what version of operating system you use, go to System Preferences/Time Machine and click on add or remove backup disks. After you add the first diskette, click again and add a second drive. The ability to add 2 or more drives has been implemented in Mountain Lion.

  • How to move pictures and the catalogue of a new external drive on a Mac?

    I found this question several times and do not understand the answers.  I have all my photos and the catalog LR on an external HD.  I need to move to an external drive more.  I tried with the Finder, but when I try to open the catalog on the new disk the pictures do not show in LR even if they are on the disc.  In a few simple steps how to do this correctly?

    Assuming that the new disk is writable,

    Open the catalog.

    Go to the folders Panel.

    Do a "find missing" on the top-level folders so that LR will know where the files have been moved to.

    I did it before connecting each of them in my iMac, but I don't remember the correct sequence and the steps necessary to transfer the photos from my camera to my external hard drive. Thanks for your suggestions.
