Replacement of Gen3 Time Capsule with last gen

My year 2009 TC model works very well, but the HD is full (and I want to update before it dies eventually). How to install a new without losing the data stored on the old?

Installation of a new time Capsule would not affect the old TC somehow. Simply connect the new TC to your network and start backups Time Machine going the new TC.

Keep the old TC around during a few months in case you need to go back and choose a file, while the new TC builds a new history of backups.  When you're ready, you can then erase the disc on the old TC and sell it or keep it as a spare drive.

  • 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.

  • Time capsule with modem/router

    I just got the phone with Apple support and they told me that time capsule will not work itself but he need a modem/router REQUIRED to work all time capsule. Is this true? Time Capsule is a modem/router. Why on earth someone would buy something for $ 600, which is not even replace the old modem router? I spend $ 200 on a 3 TB hard drive and do the same work. Please answer.

    Time Capsule is a modem/router.

    No, this is not correct.

    The Capsule is a router only. It doesn't have a modem on board. If you have a Time Capsule and you want to be able to access the Internet, you will need a modem to connect to the time Capsule.

    More providers of Internet services (ISP) provide modems/routers and modems to their customers to connect to their service. Please contact your ISP and ask them what they recommend.

  • Question conectivity Time Capsule with Windows 7

    Hello

    I am owner of a time Capsule A1309 with 3 TB of memory and it stopped working with my Windows PC for a while. It used to connect normally not long ago, but now the drive doesn't appear and I can't access the time with AirPort Utility Capsule unless I type the IP address. I have a lot of archives stored in the drive and cannot access it from any PC running Windows in my house.

    My Control Panel is:

    • RAM - 8 GB
    • Intel Core i5 - 2430 M 2.40 GHz
    • 64 bit
    • Windows 7 Professional

    I know that the Time Capsule works normally, because I can access it from an old iMac I have here.

    Other details: My Time Capsule is on System 7.6.7 version and I also have the last airport utility installed on my PC.

    Thanks in advance,

    Rodrigo Trindade

    For starters, you have access to the Time Capsule (TC) using the AirPort for Windows PC? The question started the TC to 7.6.7 firmware version after update?

  • 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.

  • Hanging Time Capsule with cable will use less data?

    I have an airport Time Capsule 2 TB I use as a wireless router with my internet go beyond satellite service. I blow through my allocation of wireless data and I was wondering if it hang on my Time capsule to my Mac using a dsl cable would use less data?

    First the cable would be ethernet.

    Second, I assume that you are concerned about your Time Machine backup... but they are local network and that you do not use your allowance of the internet... so plug the TC by ethernet will not change the use of the internet... It is only if you have something that is initially high downloads... This can happen sometimes... but apple built in no mechanism to track usage... Indeed, they have removed completely since the last TC SNMP functionality and AE... in the view of many here... an indication that Apple believes that everyone has speed unlimited and unlimited broadband internet bandwidth and did not much care if you don't.

  • Use Time Capsule with common carrier online

    Hello

    I have a new House that has pre wired Ethernet, but I don't know where the switch is. I have a lot of smart devices in my house, including the bulbs of Hue, Thermostats Ecobee, door to Garage Chamberlain, etc. as well as the different computers, tablets, etc.

    I had trouble getting good signal wireless in all the corners of the House. I use a current gen router Apple time capsule 3 to AC (ME182LL/A) and a modem docsis 3.0 NETGEAR (CM500-100NAS). I have a Mac boy, so I have an iMac, Mac mini and MacBook, but also have a Windows work laptop.

    To expand the network I use Apple Airport expresses (MC414LL/A). I have 4 of them. They are working very well that WAP at the bridge and extend the Time Capsule network. However, as to be expected with a comprehensive wireless network, they abandon signal intermittently and may be slow.

    What I would like to make a way to use airports as an extension of a wired network. I tried to use the netgear 500 (XAVB5421) power adapter to provide Ethernet over power line to the airports, but when I plug the time capsule in the supply of source line, it ends by disabling the internet entire feed of time capsule, I can't understand (maybe double NAT, blocking ports may idk). So my other option that I would use the pre wired Ethernet, but I'm not familiar with the use and installation.

    Could someone help with?

    Thank you

    I have a new House that has pre wired Ethernet, but I don't know where the switch is.

    Ethernet is the right way to do it... in a new home ring people who have done the wiring and ask where is the login Panel.

    It could be a simple patch on the wall or in the garage or under the stairs... There may not be a switch at all... After all it must be powered and I doubt that there would be no access.

    Do not use adapters EOP when ethernet is available... He is immensely higher... but the Express may not be the best units to extend with... You may have to them in hard mode...

    Please post how you express installation from airport utility... Give us some screenshots and we can tell you.

    It is likely that you express to extend wireless installation... the minute you plug by ethernet (EOP is still just slower ethernet)... cause you a network loop that will crash your network... The express should be in Bridge mode and together to create a wireless network.

  • 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.

  • Time capsule with backup HD on a MBP with SSD?

    Hello world

    I recently bought a Time Capsule from Apple and saved my full 500 GB hard drive which is on my Macbook Pro 13 "(modèle fin 2011)." I was wondering what I need and what will happen if I buy a Macbook Pro the retina which will have an SSD (probably more small size), but also a different logic board?

    -Is the capsule will be recognized by the new Macbook Pro retina and I will be able to continue to save on it, to add?

    -I will be able to access the files that I backed up the MBP Late 2011 by accessing the retina MBP with time Capsule?

    There's something else I should be aware of the based on the experience of each?

    Thanks a lot for your help and your advice!

    On the first startup of the new machine, the installation wizard will ask you if you want to move your user name for the new Machine. Highly recommended for a transition seamles.

    From then after that after a reboot or two and the first time that you start the TM/TC upward it will ask you if you want to "inherit" the TM. Yes

  • Remote Access Time capsule with windows 10 pc

    I have my time Capsule connected to the router of the provider internet I easily access from inside my home network and with a Mac, I'm not able to access remotely with my Windows 10 PC and my iPad Time Capsule (I only am not able to Set up hold File Manager app). My internet provider to put in place a connection port on the router and I tried several TCP 20/21/80/8080/548 ports without success.

    Any suggestion wich port to set?

    Thank you

    Aldo

    You will need a computer that uses AFP (Apple Filing Protocol) to access from a remote location Time Capsule.  Windows 10 does not have this feature, so you will not be able to use the time Capsule to access from a remote location using a PC.

    Although it is not officially supported by Apple, you can usually access the time from an iPad Capsule using the navigation application.  The navigation instructions are there, and they do not work for me when I try this:

    Connection to your TimeCapsule from the Internet

  • need help to set up Time Capsule with hub of sky

    Hi, I bought time Capsule and followed the instructions re. Connection cable internet hub in wide band directly on port WAN on TC. And yet nothing is happening outside orange flashing and message of airport utility saying it could not connect to the internet. I bought an Ethernet cable, just in case and tried to connect it to LAN to LAN, and I was able to create a 'network' but always seeing flashed. Can anyone help? Thank you!!

    El Capo can be really rotten networking.

    The skyhub is a router... I think it's okay... If you connect a computer directly into it, you should have internet?

    The TC may work very well in this configuration.

    Ethernet connector of skyhub LAN WAN TC as you did originally... correctly.

    So I highly recommend ethernet to the computer... because it helps no end. And even to pass the airport utility to use ethernet instead of wireless.

    Here (if obvious really that you would have ethernet under other Wi - Fi... don't know why I found totally by chance?)

    The configuration... make the TC must go to bridge mode...

    It is Off (bridge mode) on the network tab.

    And you need to create a wireless network with a different name to the skyhub.

    You can probably do it manually now without too many problems.

    And even without ethernet connection... Although reliable then ethernet is streets ahead wireless.

    Click on the TC icon in airport utility.

    Click on change... at the bottom right on the summary.

    Now you can fix it up. Click on the network and make sure that it says Off (bridge mode) I posted my configuration, but you do not follow that... I just allows you to see where everything is.

    Click on wireless and fix that up.

    You can even click on the base station and correct the name and the master password... so that all the names are short, without spaces and alphanumeric pure.

    NOT RECOMMENDED APPLE NAMES that are FALSE.

    If you have an ipad/iphone the iOS version of the utility is often better to get this right than the Mac version... particularly in the later version of the Mac OS.

  • Can I play my library iTunes located on Time capsule with an Ipod touch? If so, how?

    I transferred my iTunes to the time capsule library and I would like to access it using other iDevices, connected to the network. Which can be and if so, how?

    To not have my macBook pro running all the time then that streaming music. Thank you.

    There is no media extensions in a TC... Apple designed the ipod to read directly from a library... you need a Mac or PC running iTunes for this to work... the library can live on the TC... but you still need a computer that is running.

    Use home sharing to share content with other devices - Apple Support iTunes

  • How to use Time Capsule with Time Machine and no Wifi

    Situation.  Late 2009 iMac with OSX 10.7.5.  Used Airport Extreme since purchase in early 2010.  Use a modem cable from Arris SB 6141.  Decided to upgrade to 2 TB Time Capsule.  And the problems started.  I put TC in place... Finally, with the help of the people of this forum (thanks).  Transport CANADA does not have the internet connection to the Modem.  New to this forum I discovered that the TC does not like the SB6141.  So I put the Airport Extreme in the network and work like a charm wireless.

    Now, how can I connect the TC to the network or the Mac to use the part Time Machine?

    I tried to put the TC in Airport Extreme with an ethernet cable.  First, the iMac would not recognize the local network by removing printers and the other external USB drive; and my TV got confused on what wifi network with the same name in which to connect.

    Before I hit the reset button on the time Capsule I tried to ask what would be the right steps.

    Thanks to the folks on this forum. Thanks for your help.  Hope you all a good holiday this year.

    You should not have really big questions on Lion.

    Connect the WAN of TC port on the ethernet port LAN AE.

    Configure the TC in bridge. I disable the wireless to EI and let it run in the TC... that's much better work in this configuration.

    The Mac that will backup must really be connected to the TC in direct wireless or ethernet... This will help loads.

    The wireless work better on the TC... If it isn't, then you can swap EI... but I'd be surprised if that was the case.

  • The fastest way to remove a sparsebundle on a Time Capsule with two top backups

    I have a time Capsule 2 TB that I currently use to save an iMac and a MacBook Pro.  I recently bought a new iMac and I decided to go back on this new computer. I moved all the files I need and installed all the apps that I used on the other.  After spending a day and a half, make a backup of the sparsebundle on my old iMac (just in case), I am now ready to get rid of this sparsebundle out of my Time Capsule, so I can start back up my new iMac to it.

    Because I also backup my MBP on it, erasing everything simply is not an option at this point. I need to be able to just remove this a sparsebundle, which, of course, must be huge... I think that it is about 890 concerts at this stage.

    I have been looking online for the best way to delete the sparsebundle, but don't know which method is the best and most of the answers are from 2011 or 2012, so I want to be sure there is not something new, I should try.

    Here are the options that I've seen, and I hope someone can point me to one that suits, or give me another suggestion. If it happens that the best, it takes days to complete, so be it, but it would be good to know that the time goes in.

    1. Change the extension of the sparsebundle and then delete this file. This seems little risk to me, but maybe I'm overthinking it. One person said they changed from iMacbackup.sparsebundle to just iMacbackup.s and was able to remove it.  It would actually remove faster? Do not change the size, so I don't know how it works.
    2. Mount the sparsebundle by using the IP address and then delete the sparsebundle like that. This was part of a post that said in fact the best way to remove first had to access it through Windows Explorer, and then delete it. This isn't an option for me, so in the comments I post, I saw someone say to connect via SMB and delete this one. Someone said he worked within a minute for them, but I see not a lot more answers.
    3. Display content of the sparsebundle, then delete the contents of the folder-Band 5, 000-8, 000 at the same time. I just watched showed a guy do that but it took something like 4 days to remove them, and he had to reload between each 5 000 videos a YouTube it deleted. Currently I have about 102 000 items in my folder of bands, so if it takes a day to remove 10,000 of them (according to, I'm looking for both ridiculously long to remove these.)

    Alternative suggestions that someone has more would be welcome.  I just want to be able to get this old one deleted and start backup to my new one, without losing my MBP backup.

    I also found this link, which speaks by using Terminal Server.
