• I can restore time capsule backup to another computer that already has a user

  Looking for help, my laptop was stolen, thankfully I have a time capsule backup. I could buy a new laptop, but I was wondering if there is anyway I can just restore my backup on the laptop of my wife, or if that's too difficult/impossible.  Currently laptop my wife not a as user, so my question is could I myself set him up as an additional user and then use my backup time capsule of my laptop now flown to restore everything on your computer? Just a question because I don't think we need 2 notebooks more, so would be nice to not have to buy one additional laptop just to get my time capsule backup. Any help much appreciated.

  The Finder, choose utilities go to menu and use the Migration Wizard to restore.

• 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.

• Time Capsule backup not available without reboot disk

  I have the latest generation of time capsule, but my MBP cannot find the disc inside after restarting the device.  After a restart of the time Capsule the requested backup will take place without any problems, but if I ask another backup later, I again get an alert saying that the disk is not found, requiring another restart. This "solves" the problem, as the MBP can now find the disk and the backup takes place, but the whole point of Time Machine is supposed to be to provide Automatic backgroundbackups.  Any ideas?

  The problem is well known.

  Seen here all the time. Solutions are not so easy.

  We need to know the configuration of the entire network.

  This modem you have, make and model please?

  How is the TC connected and in what mode?

  Is the Mac directly connected to the CT or via the modem that works as gateway?

• Time Capsule backups of different networks?

  I have a Time Capsule that serves ONLY to expand my current network, but is also used for the backup of a single computer through Time Machine. If I take this time capsule to a new place, which has a different network I can configure it to join the new network and continue the backups Time Machine to a computer (which moves with it) without losing any old backups? If so, how can I say to join the network at the new place.

  Thank you

  The time Capsule cannot 'join' a wireless provided third-party router, if that's what you're asking.

• Time Capsule backups fail 'lack of space'

  I have two 3 TB time Capsules airport here at home network with an iMac and MacBook Pro 2.  All computers are up-to-date with the latest version of the software for Mac OS x (10.11.5) and the two time Capsules have been updated with the latest firmware yesterday (May 30, 2016).  I get the same error message that does not respect the backup, or for both, readers of time capsule due to lack of space.

  How is that possible?  I thought that TC permanently erased the last backup to make room for the next backup... aren't these differential backups?  Are a number of safeguards supposed to be kept?  Or over a certain period of time?

  Is the solution here to add a few more disk space for the time capsule airport with USB drives?

  Thanks for your help.

  Time Machine usually works very well to delete backups of older (and small) "extra" type on the Time Capsule, but if the disk is full, and all of a sudden you add lots of new data to your Mac as an update of the operating system, or enlarge them or video files... which adds a lot of new data to your computer... and then the Time Machine can not delete older files to make room the new, much larger that new normal backup which would be necessary.

  When this happens, you have 3 Basic, in order of most expensive options on the bottom:

  • Add another new Time Capsule and start backups to go
  • Add a USB to a Time Capsule and start to go back up
  • Clear the Time Capsule disk and start over again with the backups with the drawback that you will lose your history backups

  In fact, there is a fourth option... that I do not recommend... and it is to go back into your files to backup using the Finder and delete older backups manually.  The drawback here is that it is a long and tedious process, and there is a very real danger that the entire file backup for Mac may be corrupt, make the file useless.

• Time Capsule backup suddenly stopped working

  I used my Air Port Time Capsule since July last year, without a hitch. Then all of a sudden today, he says: 'no back ups for 155 days' (!) and I get this message:

  "The backup drive is not available. Make sure that the backup disk is connected, or select a different backup disk. »

  It is connected. I can see it in the AirPort Utility. I see it in the Finder. I access it via the finder. I am at a total loss!

  (1) what on Earth is my all backups since July 2015?

  (2) how to operate again?

  (3) a way to ensure this NEVER happens again?

  Help, please!

  It is connected. I can see it in the AirPort Utility. I see it in the Finder. I access it via the finder. I am at a total loss!

  It's a little unusual to see full access to the rest of the computer and the inability to access by Time Machine.

  (1) what on Earth is my all backups since July 2015?

  They never happened.

  During your updates... things are lost and error messages are never toward the front of the screen even if I suspect that the log is full of them.

  (2) how to operate again?

  Reset complete TC... and I recommend you wipe it and start the new backup. See the section below... my standard how to correct the answer to the problem.

  (3) a way to ensure this NEVER happens again?

  Only a stupid person would make a promise, that it will NEVER happen.

  Thinking more broadly... I say to the people in these columns now ad nauseum... Use an alternative solution. Carbon Copy clone or Chronosync are good examples.

  They can be used alongside TM... but tend to be more reliable.

  He is also much better working on a local disk instead of a network... Although with a MBPr having to plug a USB stick in the car all the time would be a brake.

  Try to CCC. It's free for a month... If you find that it works for you purchase the license.

  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.

  The installer the TC.

  And then redo the configuration of the computer with the Mavericks - Yosemite - ElCapo. (MYELCAP)

  1. the use of very short names... NO APPLE RECOMMENDED names. Without the space and pure alphanumeric characters.

  for example TCgen5 for the base station and the name of the TCwifi wireless.

  If the problem is using wireless TC24ghz and TC5ghz with fixed channels as it also seems to help stop the nonsense. But it can be tried in the second round. IE, plan on a first and second series of changes to fix this... If all goes well... I note other steps can you tour2.

  2. use all passwords also consistent with 1. but maybe a little longer. IE 8 and 20 characters of mixed cases and numbers... no alphanumeric non-caracteres.

  3. If the TC is router, you can ignore this point. It is only a problem when the TC is bridged.

  If ensure that the TC is always the same IP address... you will need to do this on the main router using a dhcp reservation... or a bit more complex setup by using the static IP address in the TC. But it's important for deriving from intellectual property in all directions when MYELCAP do not remember his name for 5 min after a reboot done for poor network management.

  4. check that your share on the computer name does not change... Make sure that it is also in line with the above... short without space and pure alphanumeric... but this change will mess up your TM backup... so be prepared to make a new, full backup. Sorry... keep this one for the second round, if you want to avoid a new backup.

  5 attach the TC disc into the computer manually. (In your case, it seems not to be a problem... and I need to solve this problem, as El Capo behaves different).

  In Finder, go, connect to the server in the main menu,

  Type in SMB://192.168.0.254 (or whatever ip of TC is that you made static. It's a default router 10.0.1.1 and I encourage people to stick with it unless you know what you're doing).

  You can use the name... SMB://TCgen5.local where you replace TCgen5 with your name of TC... local is the default domain of the TC and does not change.

  However the names are not so easy as... the IP address nor reliable. They are not at least not in Yosemite. The field can also be a problem if you are not clogged or wireless directly to the Treasury Board.

  6. ensure that IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open network, wireless and Advanced preferences / TCP/IP... and the difficulty of IPv6. link-local only. Do the same for the ethernet if you use it.

  This one is important. The auto setting uses apple straightens always not good values.

  

  For computers updated once or twice since the major point of revisions... I think that a clean installation becomes almost a necessity.

  It is a lot more jiggery pokery, you can try, but the above is a good start... If you still find not reliable... don't be surprised.

  You may need to do more work on the computer itself. for example, to reset the NVRAM/PRAM/SMC... helped some people. In the end... A clean installation of the operating system is also useful if you update installed.

• Time Capsule backups stopped working

  I started successfully using airport Time Capsule to back up our 2 iMac and my Macbook Air in October.  My backups of my MBA have stopped working and I did not successfully back up from December 20.  Backup start and just stops part way through it, with the error message:

  Time Machine could not complete the backup of 'airport' Time Capsule.

  An error occurred when copying files. The problem may be temporary. If the problem persists, use disk utility to repair your backup disk.

  Last successful backup: 20 December 2015

  I tried to run the disk on my MBA utility and the TC backup space.  RAN in two places with success.

  There is a lot of room left on my TC - 2.06 to 3 TB are available.

  I'm on OS version 10.11.2 (that I have loaded 15 dec).

  It is also interesting to note that the backup of my MBA seems to progress very slowly, even though I have excellent wireless connectivity.

  Both of the iMac (the two 10.11.1 running) always execute backups successfully.

  My suspicion is that there is a problem with 10.11.2 backups, but I can't find anything online to suggest.  Any thoughts on what could be the cause of the problem and how to fix it?

  Above or upgrade to a different operating system change can certainly spoil Time Machine...

  I recommend that you try again. If the files are located in the old backup that you want to keep copy the sparsebundle to a different location, for example a USB stick plugged into your computer. Or you can make an archive of the TC to save all files. You will need a large USB plugged into the TC that holds all the files there. Archive is a utilitarian Airport.

  

  Then in the finder delete the existing TM backup and start a new.

  I would seriously think about using a third party backup... for example, Carbon Copy Cloner... you can download and test for free for a month... It is just more reliable.

• Time capsule backup dedicated

  I'll put up a new Mac Pro and want to use Time Capsule as a wired dedicated backup device.  On my Mac, I have a 1 TB internal drive will be used only for the application and software work areas.  I have a 4 TB external drive, where all my user files reside.  I want to hardwire connect Time Capsule to my Mac and use it only to back up the drive internal.  I have a separate drive of 8 TB I'll use a program like ChronoSync to back up my drive of the 4 TB user.  I use one of the Ethernet ports on my Mac to connect to my home network.  I have an Ethernet port open on my Mac.  Can I use the Ethernet Mac port available and connect Time Capsule for the Mac as a dedicated backup device?

  The Capsule connects to your modem or modem router using a wired Ethernet cable connection. Connect the modem into the "O" on the Time Capsule WAN port and configure time Capsule to create a wireless network.

  If you don't need wireless, it can be turned off once the time Capsule has been implemented to work with your modem or router/modem.

  Your Mac can then go back to Ethernet connection time Capsule cable from the Mac to one of the three ports LAN <>- on the back of the time Capsule.  Don't forget to turn off the radio on the Mac to make sure that the backup will take place via the Ethernet connection.

• Time capsule backup stopped

  I backup my 3 TB Time Capsule 2 MacBook Pro. Internet is fully accessible in all directions. I was support for 2 years on this unit. Now, one of them runs a little and stops with a message that the "backup failed" and other tracks just more than half, then it stops completely. Any help would be most appreciated. Is my defective Time Capsule after less than 2 years?

  On one of your Macs...

  Hold down the option key while clicking on the icon of "the clock" Time machine at the top of the screen

  Click on verify backups

  The process will take 10 to 60 minutes or more depending on the amount of data is stored in the back upward. You can do other things while the verification process is running, or just look at the amount of progress if you're bored and have nothing else to do.

  Note the results once the process is complete.

  Then, run the same control over the other Mac.

  Report on results for Mac.

• 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.

• Time Capsule backup disabled on Bridge mode

  Hi all...

  I have a 3rd generation (A1355) Time Capsule and I connected on a D-Link DSL-2520U router which is connected to my DSL via PPPoE internet connection. In order to get my setup working, I had to put the network on the bridge mode settings. Since my backup Time Capsule does not work, and when I try to manually force the backup system, it is said: "the backup drive is not found. Make sure that the backup disk is connected, or select a different backup disk. »

  When I try to put the time Capsule to DHCP, it is said: "the DHCP range you have entered conflicts with your base station WAN IP address."

  Now, what can I do to get it working again?

  Bridge mode is the correct setting of the time Capsule, but you changed the 'path' that has been using Time Machine to locate your Time Capsule on the network, so that it can not find the time Capsule.

  (Gear on the dock icon)... open Mac system preferences

  Open Time Machine

  Click Add or remove disks

  Under the backup disks, click to select the current backup drive

  Click on remove the disc at the bottom right of the window

  Close the windows

  Restart the Mac.

  Then, go to time Machine again as above, click select disk and select the backup drive that you want to use, and then click on using the drive.

  Wait a few minutes for a backup start, or if you do not want to wait... click on the "clock" icon Time machine at the top of the screen of the Mac, and then click Backup now.
