New configuration of Time capsule

• New doubts of Time Capsule

  When you set up a new time Capsule, if it "replaces" the old time Capsule, what happens to the information on the old Time Capsule? If she is transferred to the new? If it is deleted on the old?

  I have a new, faster 3 TB TC and want to make the main machine on the network instead of the old TC 1 TB. I don't know whether to use the new TC to expand or replace the old TC. Above all, I want to assure you that the stored information is transferred to the new TC but NOT erased on the old TC, at least not yet.

  If anyone can clarify the situation, I would appreciate it.

  When you set up a new time Capsule, if it "replaces" the old time Capsule, what happens to the information on the old Time Capsule?

  On the 'old' Time Capsule network configuration settings are transferred to the 'new' time Capsule and the 'old' Time Capsule is reset to default network settings.

  If she is transferred to the new?

  If "it" you mean that are network, the configuration settings on the 'old' Time Capsule, transferred to the 'new' time Capsule the answer is Yes.

  If a 'he' you mean the data stored on the hard drive of the 'old' time Capsule, then the answer is no.

  If it is deleted on the old?

  If "it" you mean the network configuration settings, they resume their return to the default settings on the 'old' Time Capsule.

  If a 'he' you mean the data stored on the hard drive of the 'old' time Capsule, then the answer is no.

  I don't know whether to use the new TC to expand or replace the old TC.

  It would depend on whether you need additional coverage of wireless signal in another room of your home. If you do, then the 'old' TC can be configured to "extend" the network provided by the 'new' TC.  It would be better if you connect the two TCs together using a wired Ethernet cable connection, but a wireless connection would probably be OK if the TC extension where it can receive a strong signal of the new TC's wireless.

  I want to make sure that the stored information is transferred to the new TC but NOT erased on the old TC...

  Here again, not sure what you mean by "stored" as there are two different types of stored information. See answers above.

• How can I configure my Time Capsule (its predecessor) as an extension of WIFI network?

  I have the previous model of the time Capsule and a new version and two MAC computers. I want to use the Capsule of ancient times to extend my WIFI network. I have a MAC with a new current version of time Capsule in the center of my house. I have a second MAC set up with an earlier version of a time Capsule in my office. I want to expand the network from the center of my home, further, beyond my office. Anyone know what I need to do? THX!

  Place the old TC in the same room as each other.

  Do a factory reset.

  Start from a factory reset. No files are lost on the drive hard in doing so.

  Universal factory reset

  Turning off the TC... That is, remove the power supply cord or the power at the wall outlet, wait 10 seconds... Hold the reset button... be nice... Turn on always even now in reset... and keep holding in for another 10 seconds. You may need assistance because it is difficult to hold in reset and power on. It will show the success quickly flashing led front. Release reset... and wait a few minutes for the TC to reset and return with the factory settings. If the front LED flashes quickly you missed and simply try again. The reset is quite fragile in these... Press the key while it is just click away and not more... I've seen people bend lever or even break. I use a toothpick as a tool.

  NB. None of your files on the hard drive of the TC are removed... This simply clears the settings of the router of the TC.

  Open airport on the Mac utility and configure the old TC... it will automagically want to extend wireless.

  Complete the installation, then move the TC to a suitable place where it picks up good signal from the main TC. There is no need to a position of bad signal... then place it where the speed is close to full... but then covers your current area of dark (wifi not light).

  Fact... Voila... easy as pie.

• Add new Mac full time Capsule (delete old backups)

  So I have an old time Capsule (mini mac in the form). It is almost full. It backs up all three machines. We just be removed and replaced with a new one.

  The new machine will have to be added, but the TC is too full.

  I'm happy to delete the backups from the machine, it has replaced, however the machine is no longer on the network and does not remove its own backups.

  I can't delete the full backup set and leave all three machines.

  How can I delete just the backups of the machine which is now out of the network? SSH? tmutil on one of the machines still present?

  You can access a backup from another machine and work with it. The answer is here: visit Time Machine FAQ of Pondini helps with Time Machine. It is a vast site with almost everything that you need for using Time Machine. You will not find a better resource for Time Machine in one place. Due to the disappearance of James Pondini, the site is is no longer updated. Therefore, some information may be somewhat outdated.

• New connection airport Time Capsule with others

  Quick question I have a new airport Time Capsule. I'm trying to connect my 2 extremes of 2 airport with the new unit. They are in 2 different places in the House, I see them in my utility, but they're more connected... Lost... Help?

  Are you using ethernet to connect or wireless extend?

  When you installed the TC you replace an existing router that used EI or did you do a clean install?

  If you want to extend wireless simply reset the two AE at the factory and start on with installation... they should auto select this option to expand the TC in wireless... but you must start with them the two reset otherwise it will mess up the network.

• New backup on Time Capsule

  My Time Capsule was fortunately automatically back up since September 2013 using Time Machine and is full by far. However, Time Machine this week said that a new backup should be created. I created this, and after about 24 hours, the new backup is complete. Time Machine now says that the oldest backup is the one that has just finished. This isn't a problem and everything seems to be in order, but I was wondering if this had happened to someone else (and why is it) and there is something to fear?

  Thank you very much.

  Concerning

  Doug

  What you describe, it seems that you could see a message that looks like this:

  

  This message appears when your previous backups were corrupted and not enough to use stable. Utility of disc on your Mac has tried to repair the damage, but he couldn't, so the old files must be deleted and started a new backup.

  I hope that you will not see this message again, because the same thing will be happening everywhere if it appears.

• New configuration of Time machine

  My present external HD do not work. I need a new one for time machine.

  Ive ordered a new d2 quadra HD Laetitia.

  The new rebel is supplied with the software for installation and other maintenance actions.

  I don't know what kind of file system is in the rebel.

  1, do I need to format the new Laetitia before except that it for time machine?

  2, the rebel can work as a machine of time if not formatted and leave these files in the State?

  3, is time machine knows what it is to the AutoFormat and Laetitia it?

  Thank you

  When you get the Lacie, connect it to the iMac and launch disk utility.  Use to format the new DHM as Mac OS extended (journaled), that it is used with your iMac reformatted and it will totally wipe clean. DO NOT use any software of Lacie.

  Once the EHD are format Mac OS extended (journaled) Time Machine should start and invite you to use the new DHM as your TM drive. From there, follow the onscreen controls. You can learn more about TM to use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple Support

• My AirPort Utility is not configure my Time Capsule

  Hello

  I just bought a Time Capsule and trying to set up, but it seems that my AirPort Utility is not set up. He continues to display an error message.

  Anyone have a similar experience and know the solution to this?

  What is the error?

  It can sometimes be a bit difficult.

  If you have an ipad or iphone... iPad is bigger is easier to work on...

  Download and use the version of iOS utility, because it is much more reliable than the Mac one.

• How can I configure my Time Capsule wireless for backups

  I recently changed the ADSL broadband cable. So it took to move my modem to the other side of the room where my cable connection. When I got the computer, modem, ADSL modem and the TC were a few feet from each other. However - now I have a wireless connection between my mac and the gateway Max Telstra modem and works very well. However, the TC has a yellow light hard now and does not connect to the internet. I can't the airport to recognize it as a base station and I think to be able to return to the company the automatic backups, I need to somehow get the TC identified as a base station. Would that be correct? I don't know if the yellow led indicates that the HARD drive in the unit has failed, but I begin to suspect this. Or - should I be plugging the TC on the modem and then try to have the computer to connect with the TC through the other side of the room?

  There are two ways to deal with the problem.

  However, the TC has a yellow light hard now and does not connect to the internet.

  Amber hard... which means no flashing is a very bad sign.

  Do a reset on the TC.

  Start from a factory reset. No files are lost on the drive hard in doing so.

  Universal factory reset

  Turning off the TC... That is, remove the power supply cord or the power at the wall outlet, wait 10 seconds... Hold the reset button... be nice... Turn on always even now in reset... and keep holding in for another 10 seconds. You may need assistance because it is difficult to hold in reset and power on. It will show the success quickly flashing led front. Release reset... and wait a few minutes for the TC to reset and return with the factory settings. If the front LED flashes quickly you missed and simply try again. The reset is quite fragile in these... Press the key while it is just click away and not more... I've seen people bend lever or even break. I use a toothpick as a tool.

  NB. None of your files on the hard drive of the TC are removed... This simply clears the settings of the router of the TC.

  Plug it into the Telstra modem and see if the front LED will turn to blinking orange.

  If it remains solid amber a failed hard drive is the most likely cause...

  Tell me what model it is... A1xxx of the base unless it is from the top.

  Another suggestion is to purchase a 2.5 "1 TB or 2 TB drive self-powered. That plug into your iMac and use it for backups... It is faster, cheaper and more reliable than the replacement of the TC.

  I'm in Melbourne... my email is available in the profile... so feel free to talk to me direct.

• Replacement of an old time capsule with a new

  I saw a few posts on this subject but they don't help me, but then again I'm not an expert! What I wanted to do, is to set up my new 2 TB Time Capsule (the high) using all the old settings. I'm not talking to duplicate the time capsule data; I'm happy to go back on it. Many people advise new network from scratch, but we have hordes of families who visit most other devices on the network enabled (like nests) who have been extremely painful to put in place and I can't face that again! I searched the internet and came across a great video on YouTube that made simple: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VO2tztvb58

  It called an option within the airport most convenient to transfer the parameters of one former airport to another. But no matter how many times I try, I get an error message

  Apple solution seems to be so simple. I do something wrong, maybe in the login sequence, at some point, the airport ask "which network is the existing time Capsule on?" but provides no pull-down or options to nominate for. Then I went to the network Wifi high to the right of my Mac and selected icon that interests you and that moved on the next screen.

  Can anyone offer advice or should I give up and start from scratch?

  Thanks in advance

  Connect your computer to the TC using ethernet... you change wireless wireless and guess what... you're sawing off the branch on which you sit.

  If your computer does not have ethernet or you have no computer in the House that still has the port most important in the world... so that you never get yourself backed into a corner wireless even once, then buy a bolt of lightning for the ethernet card.

  Alternative method.

  This is not 100% kosher, but should work.

  On the old TC export the configuration.

  

  My screen is a bit old, but it should always be there.

  You must be within the facility of the TC to do... then click the old TC icon and then edit... then export...

  On the use of new TC import a Configuration file.

  It works for most. FOR THE MOST PART.

  As a BTW... your name is terrible.

  All new Mac OS since Mavericks use the default SMB protocol.

  SMB has much stricter rules that AFP ever made... This is not your fault... This is apple not to repair their airport for the automatic naming utility is not the long names with spaces and characters not compliant... the apostrophe is illegal... you will notice that if you install the disk in the finder, that apostrophe, and spaces are removed from the name... but over the long names will interrupt the.

• How to set the type of wifi (WPA/WPA2) security settings on my new Apple Time Capsule

  I just got my new 3T Apple Time Capsule and have implemented the new network, but I can't seem to find a way to check if the security settings WPA/WPA2 etc are defined.  How do I do that?

  By default, the settings are WPA2 Personal. There should be no need to change it.

  To view the settings and make changes to them, you need to open the AirPort on your Mac utility.  Are you still using OS X (10.6.3) you specify in your profile?

• Load new Time Capsule with backup t. m.?

  I have an end 2013 27 "iMac running OS X El Capitan, version 10.11.6, with a new 3 TB Time Capsule. In the process of upgrading my original model A1470, 2 TB Time Machine awkwardly, I managed to detach the tablecloth of the end circuit rather than simply ripped hard drive making rubber on the 2 TB hard drive itself. This time Capsule is actually useless now. I installed the original drive work with my TM backups in a USB 3 enclosure with the intention of transferring its contents to my new Time Capsule. When the original Monte drive, it shows as 3 (?) partitions, labeled: APconfig; APswap; and the data. 'Data' has 84,46 GB of data in files "Backups.backupdb" and "ShareRoot. The other partitions are essentially empty-APconfig with a single file "AFP.reconect_keys" to 24 bytes and a total content of 15.6 MB and APswap without files containing 15.3 mb.

  How to use this original TC hard disk to load my backups Time Machine on my NEW 3 to Time Capsule? I only discovered how to load a T.C. from file to archive hard disk, but not the original files of TC.

  Any ideas will be appreciated.

  What you are, indeed, now doing is to copy/move an existing Time Machine backup 'network', a local disk to another drive (aka, your new Time Capsule) network.

  Basically, Time Machine uses a different backup format with readers local vs. network drives. You now have a backup of "network format" on a local disk. Time Machine will not be able to use this backup 'local', as it is, because it is not in a format that is "local." Sorry if that sounds confusing. It was confusing for me just to write it.

  A method that would work would be to clone the backup, but it only works when the two backups will be 'local format' ones.

  Worst case, I recommend that you come to start a new backup and use the one as archive.

• How can I configure Time Capsule 3 to and Motorola NVG589 to access the Time Capsule backup drive?

  I have ATT Uverse service and am ok with the performance of the WiFi of the NVG589. I want to configure my Time Capsule 3 to extend the network and be able to access the drive for backups Time Machine. I think I am following the steps in Airport utility, but once installation is complete I can find is no longer the time Capsule.

  I want to configure my Time Capsule 3 to extend the network

  The time Capsule cannot "extend" the network Uverse using a wireless connection, if that's maybe what you're trying to do. The time Capsule can only wireless "extend" the signal of another router from Apple.

  The Capsule can be configured to extend the network to Uverse if it is connected permanently... anytime... to the Uverse router using a connection through wired Ethernet cable.

  Please specify on what you're trying to accomplish, so that we can provide the correct steps.

• How can I configure my modem wireless time capsule?

  I changed my internet business today.  I used to use a cable modem, but now I have a map of the internet outside of my home.  There was a box installed in my basement laundry room, but this is no the case near my computer. (iMac)  Is there anyway that I can configure my time capsule just directly plugging into my computer?  Part of my problem not either not very tech savvy, so read all items here, just got me confused.  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hi Nancy,.

  You should be able to set up on the wifi. This PDF explains how to do this more in detail.

• Airport Express, Time Capsule and Airport Express using the same network

  Just moved into a new House and this is what I install.  I have 7 Port wired into the House.

  Closet of network in the Garage:

  • Cable modem
  • Airport Express
  • netgear switch 8 ports
  • It works pretty well.  All my wired connections work fine.  Wireless is quite good but cove not enough of space in my house.

  Think about adding my airport express capsule of time in my office - plugged into one of the hard wired connections.  Who works AND let me wish the WIFI?

  Thank you!

  Yes fine, assuming that first test you the Ethernet port in the office by connecting a computer (with WIFI disabled on the computer) using a spare Ethernet cable runs to ensure that the computer can get a good connection in this way.

  Put the airport Time Capsule to create a wireless network that uses the exact same wireless network name and password in your existing network. Apple installation "Wizard" automatically configure airport Time Capsule in the correct setting of the Bridge Mode for the device.
