• Should I buy a Base Station for my Apple products to use Time Machine?

  Should I buy a Base Station for my Apple products? I have a Netgear CG3000D-RG gateway and also use Windows with this modem/router. I'm not able to backup using time machine and bought an external hard drive PassPort but I find it pretty annoying having to plug it in to my MBP whenever I want to do a backup. I would like to use the most convenient airport on my MBP feature, however, it seems pointless unless I have connected to my Netgear router/Modem base station. If I have to buy a base station to make the backup of my MBP easier? I also use 6s and iPad Air iPhone. I would be able to save these features too? Thank you!

  1. you must either have a Time Capsule or connect the drive to your computer when you perform a backup.

  2. Time Machine isn't back from iOS devices directly; they should be stored on a computer and the computer saved Time machine.

• Why did all of my files migrate to my new iMac using Time Machine?

  I recently bought a new iMac and used Time Machine to transfer my data from my Macbook.  Why not a not transfer files of Pages, Numbers and Keynote?  Why all three have a? on the dock?

  Files transferred without doubt, but the Dock shortcuts are not connected to them.

  Try to remove these shortcuts from the Dock and replace them with news from your Applications folder.

• Impossible to use Time Machine on Airport Extreme

  Back in June, I brought a laptop HD work to save the laptop. It's something I have done 3 times a year, in addition to using Time Machine on my 1 TB Airport Extreme. Well, when I did that, I went from 'H Time Capsule' to 'Brian's Portable HD. Everything saved. No problem. It seemed.

  Unfortunately, I can no longer use Time Machine on the 1 TB drive. Every time as I try, I get "password to the server": Time Capsule". And the password I try does not work. Arrrggh.

  Is it possible to find the password lost at an Airport Extreme?

  Can or, if it's a no-go, I reset everything on it and start over?

  Thank you.

  Brian

  It would really help if you could provide the version of the operating system that you use on your laptop.

  The reason is that if you can access the AirPort Extreme using AirPort Utility, you can retrieve the "lost password" for the album Time Capsule, which could be the password wireless, could be the base station password, or it might be the disk password... it depends of how you implement the AirPort Extreme.

• I found that if it becomes necessary to use time machine to return to an earlier existence to reinstall the iphoto library, if for some reason, you lose lose, then when you try to synchronize your ipad is not recognized by the computer.  As one

  I found that if it becomes necessary to use time machine to return to an earlier existence to reinstall the iphoto library, if for some reason, you lose lose, then when you try to synchronize your ipad is not recognized by the computer.  So when you try to synchronize the pictures, they are all removed from the ipad and trying to reinstall everything again.

  This may or may not work immediately.  In my case, only half the photos have been installed, and then the error message came that the rest of 9000 can be installed.

  I contacted Apple support team who has made various suggestions.  Subsequently clicking on a photo list in iTunes were all going again and pictures of 9000 then installed.  When I asked the support team what could happen I was told that it was a "glitch".  I don't like seeds they mean that there could be an error in coding somewhere.

  Here me again.  I use an iMac and iPad.  I don't know why XP and iPhone came.

• How to back up to external hard drive using time machine

  I just bought a new drive external toshiba with 500 GB of memory. When I tried to back up my computer last night through a time machine, I thought that it worked, but when I woke up this morning, time machine told me that my oldest and the most recent backup is none which means that it does not cross. I tried again this morning but after hitting "back up now" time machine prepares the backup, and then start it, giving me a ridiculously ETA such a 15 hours, then never completely complete the back which is really confusing so I do not know what to do.

  Did you partition and format your new drive before using it? What version of Mac OS X?

• I'm using Time Machine (1 TB), works very well, but because full starting to delete previous backups. Can I add another (LaCie 1 TB) HARD disk for backups? If so, how to proceed. Thank you!

  I'm using Time Machine (1 TB), works very well, but because full starting to delete previous backups. Can I add another (LaCie 1 TB) HARD disk for backups? If so, how to proceed. Thank you!

  You can add another drive to accept backups Time Machine... assuming it is correctly formatted for Mac to Mac OS extended (journaled), but things are not exactly "continue."

  You have not indicated if you intend to add the player to the USB port on the Time Capsule, or connect directly to your computer using USB or FireWire connections. Or the other method works, with the option to connect directly to the computer being the faster connection.

  Once the disc is added, you would go in Time Machine preferences (click the "clock" at the top of the screen on your Mac) to add the disk for Time Machine backups and delete the old Time Capsule disk, since backups will go is no longer this destination.

  Since you have a new drive, Time Machine will do a new full backup of your Mac and then go forward with incremental backups.

• Using Time Machine for subsequent backups

  I would like to know how can I use Time Machine for frequent backups after the initial. Specifically, I want to know how I can assure you that Time Machine DO backup files that have changed since the initial AND only the new backup files that have been added to the hard drive since the last backup?  In other words, Time Machine will do it automatically or it will save all the entire hard drive again?

  Time Machine which will automatically

  Yes.

• Using Time Machine or the Migration Assistant to transfer information from and old Mac to a new one

  I had to think about upgrading a Macbook Air to a Macbook Pro and have done research on how pretty much everything (files, account icloud, etc.) to move to a new computer so I know how to do it when the time comes. I didn't save my current computer at the time I got it and didn't know whether it was necessary to do it before the transfer. Also, I found two different ways to move information from one mac to another, one way being using the migration wizard, the other via the time machine. The problem is that I've never used time machine (I checked my settings and it is turned off). I was curious to know which option would be the 'best' way and if not never back up my computer would be a problem. (If its possible, could someone also please explain how to back up my computer?)

  Thank you for taking the time to read this and I look forward I hope to get a reply soon!

  I use Time Machine often (and have used since its introduction).  I also upgraded my Mac hardware quite often (about every 18 months).  Whenever I move to a new machine, I use the Migration Wizard (and not Time Machine).  I've never had a problem.

  Then I suggest that you need not Time machine specifically in order to change computers.  However, you really need to keep backups simply because the material is not, and without a backup, you are subject to lose everything you have on your computer.

• Can I use Time Machine backup of my 2011 MacBook Pro (el Capitan) to set up my new (2016) MacBook Pro? How?

  Can I use Time Machine backup of my MacBook Pro 2011 (15 "/ 500 G HD/El Capitan") to set up my new (2016 13 "/ 1 TB HD) MacBook Pro? How? I want to pretty much recreate my whole installation/files.

  See this discussion of Migration Wizard. You will notice that the Time Machine is one of the sources that you can connect your new Mac to transfer what was on your old Mac that TM was back up.

• Restore the data in the external drive using Time Machine

  Hi y ' All!

  I store my photos in my external hard drive because there is not enough space in memory is internal. This is actually my second drive external hard than my first (Adata HE720) is not the beginning of last year. Unfortunately, my WD Elements has stopped working and I can't restore data using Time Machine, as the drive is not found in Time Machine under devices, and I'm sure that I restored my photo library and many other files from my old external drive using Time Machine.

  Can someone tell me how to recover my old files? I have many other important data here including my photos and I don't want to lose them. I'm fairly positive that Time Machine allows me to get the data as is the point of it.

  Thank you in advance!

  P.S. If you guys have any recommendation on a reliable external drive, please do tell me!

  Hey guys, I found the problem.

  It turns out that I'm never giving time Machine to deselect my external drive to backup; Therefore, there is absolutely no copy done during execution Time machine. I really don't understand why Apple made this the default behavior, but it is what it is.

  So, people, don't forget to go to Time Machine preferences and make sure that you remove the external hard drive that you want to backup under options. Once you do, you can enter the time Machine and your drive will appear under devices.

  See you soon.
