After resetting Time Capsule, how do I access my previous backups?

After re-setting Time Capsule, how do I access my previous backups?

Access it to do what??
You can migrate the data.. see Pondini instructions for migrate. (or from apple).
His instructions are a little out of date.. but still more useful than the over generalised stuff Apple give you.

If you wanted to continue using the backup with TM.. no you cannot inherit a backup from a different machine.
To simply access the backup .. then open the sparsebundle from finder or TM..
See the instructions in Pondini.. Q15-17 here.

If you want to do something else you need to tell us what it is??

Time Capsule backup cannot be seen on new MAC after resetting Time Capsule and changing password.

I have backed up my MAC to Time Capsule with Time Machine, erased HDD and clean installed OX Yosemite. After installation I have to reconfigure Wi Fi, so I reset my Time Capsule changed password. Now I cannot see my previous back up on reinstalled MAC. Neither on TM nor on the Manual search. In finder appeared new disk. I am pretty sure that old files are still there. Can anybody suggest how to retrieve them.

This sounds like classic Yosemite.
What you did is fine.. there is no way to delete the backups via the reset button.
What I would suggest is a new clean setup of the TC again.. use a full factory reset.
Factory reset universal
Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
Redo the setup from the airport utility in the Yosemite computer..
Do not use the recommend names.. use really short names.. no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
eg TCgenx and TCwifi for basestation and wireless names.
You can also setup wireless password as before but I strongly recommend 8-20 character pure alphanumeric mixed case and numbers.. no characters outside of that.
Then mount the TC manually in finder.
Go, Connect to server.
Type in the TC IP address if at all possible.. it is more likely to be reliable than using name.
SMB://10.0.1.1 (replace with your IP but it should be static.. that is default)
Or
SMB://TCgenx.local (use whatever name you have given it.. plus the domain which is always local)
when asked for the disk password supply it and save in the keychain. Then open the disk in finder and you should see your sparsebundle in there.. from migrate assistant you should now be able to see your backup.

Why do i get an error after resetting Time Capsule?

Hi *,
I recently reset (and also factory reset) my Time Capsule. It showed up in AirPort Utility.
Then after 10 mins (or less), when i open up the AirPort utility again, i get this error:
"Time Capsule was previously part of your network. Check that it is still in range of your network and is plugged into a power outlet. Click forget to remove this base station from this network."
The light on the TC is green and steady and it is absolutely in the range of my netwrok. I also have the LAN cable plugged in. Please let me know what am i doing wrong.
Regards,
Arindam.

Remove at least one of the networks.. so use ethernet.. turn wireless right off.
If you still have issues.. tell us.

2nd generation time capsule: how to limit access to wireless network at night?

I am using a 2nd generation time capsule and need to limit access to my wireless network at night, is there a setting to do this? I don't want to physically have to shut down my time capsule/router every night but I need a way to turn off the wireless network at night or during specific hours. Also open to suggestions on how to accomplish this if Time Capsule does not allow it. This question is for a 2nd generation 500GB, Model A1302 Time Capsule. Thank you.

Unless you physically attach an electronic timer to the Time Capsule, there is no way to tell the Time Capsule when to turn on and off.
Using the Timed Access settings in AirPort Utility, it is possible to define the hours each day that wireless devices will be allowed to connect to the network.
For example, you might set the Time Capsule to not allow wireless access between Midnight and 8 AM each day. Devices would be able to connect at other times.
But, Timed Access will not physically power the Time Capsule "on" and "off".

If i reset time capsule, how about data on disk?

hi everyone..
i have time capsule 2TB, if i reset by press little button on back of unit, how about my backup data on time capsule? isn't format?
thank you

The reset button will only reset the network settings on the Time Capsule.
A reset has absolutely nothing to do with the data on the Time Capsule hard drive. The only way that you would lose that would be to perform a completely separate Erase Disk operation, then confirm again that you do really do want to Erase Disk.

Time Machine won't see my backup after resetting Time Capsule

i had to reset my TC because i got a new modem. once i got the network up and running again, now time machine wants to start over backing up my MBP, even though i can see the backup files on the TC....
how do i get time machine to recognize that this time machine has my backups on it already?
I had changed the name of the TC, then i changed it back. so i don't think that's the problem?
will i have to erase the time capsule and start over backing up?
thanks in advance...

TM may start a new backup sequence for any of a number of reasons. See #D3 in the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip* at the top of this forum.
Click here to download the +Time Machine Buddy+ widget. It shows the messages from your logs for one TM backup run at a time, in a small window.
Navigate to the first of the backup attempt that failed, copy and post the messages here. A clue should be lurking in there.
i'd like to keep those backups because there's some important stuff in there.
That's a curious comment. Have you been deleting things from your internal HD, relying on TM to keep it's copies archived?

Restored system from Time Capsule but now lost access to the backup files

Last week, my drive flaked out and I had to restore my system from my Time Capsule. Now everything is back to normal except that I've noticed that upon trying to auto backup my Mac Pro, it says the disk is full. When I use Time Machine to access my old files, it appears I no longer have access to anything I had previous to restoring my system from my Time Capsule. I believe the link to the old backup file is broken and it's trying to create a new full backup file, in addition to keeping the old file.
Is this normal behaviour after a full restore from a Time Capsule or can I still somehow relink my computer to the file from which it was restored, and still have access to my backup files?

Yes; everything you restored is treated as changed and will be backed-up again: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1338 Time Machine most likely deleted all but the last backup, trying to make room for the new one.

Exactly how did you restore? Did you restore your entire system, starting with your Snow Leopard Install disc?
If you didn't, it's possible the account you're using is not recognized as the same one on your backups.
Can you see the last backup? If not, see #E2 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum).

How I can set up the DynDns inside the Time capsule, or only with the Time capsule I have external access from a PC for ex.?

How I can set up the DynDns inside the Time capsule, or only with the Time capsule I have external access from a PC for ex.?

MobileMe service is finished.. to get remote access to the Mac or TC you use iCloud account.. but that is for files.. not to access web cams.
Without dyndns client in the TC, you can perhaps run dyndns on the computer or video recorder..many of these will have clients built into them.
Even better get a static Public IP from your ISP.. that is the correct professional way to do it.
Or you can use whatever broadband modem you have and remove the TC as the main router.. simply bridge it. Use your adsl router for connection. Almost all adsl have built in dyndns.
Sorry your language is very hard to follow.. and I am sure you are finding my answers similarly difficult.
Basically the TC is about the hardest device to setup because it is lacking important networking functions.
Get a vpn router and use vpn connection is far superior to any other method. But you cannot do it with TC.

How to reset Time Capsule

After installing Time Capsule internet connection slow

Since I installed Time Capsule on my Mac, my internet connection started acting up. The web browsing is VERY SLOW, and applications that are web-based no longer work properly. For instance, I have an EyeFi Wireless Explore SD card and the related EyeFi Manager software that allows me to wirelessly transfer my photos on the eyefi card to the eyefi website, as well as my photo service (Kodak Gallery or Flickr) and also transfers the photos to my Mac. Before I set up my Time Capsule, the eyefi system worked flawlessly. Now the uploads hang up and do not complete. I also have very slow progress trying to use my webmail, or loading webpages in general. I use the Safari browser.
My Time Capsule is set up as a separate wireless network, so I access the internet thru my original home wireless network. Is anyone having the same issues after installing Time Capsule, and does anyone have a solution?

Try doing a Safe Mode reboot by holding down the Shift key when you hear the start-up tone. When the progress bar appears you can release the key. A Safe Reboot will clear some of the caches, it's possible one became corrupt. If that doesn't work do both a SMC and PRAM reset, you may need to do each 2-3x.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Resetting Time Capsule based on time

I have a Airport Express extended to a 1TB Time Capsule networked as an access point to the Internet, all works fine. What I would like to know is there any way I can reset/reboot my Time Capsule based on a time or day of the week. I find that after 1 week or so my small business network signal strength Transfer Rate drops a lot and network response time is slow. Once I manually unplug everything all is back to normal. Any help is appreciated. In my list of things to do to run my small business is to unplug the Time capsule and Airport Express and all is back to normal at 802.11n. I realize that building structures and device location effect signal strength but after an 'unplug' all is good. I have 3 MacBooks, 1Pro, 2 XPs and 2 Vistas.

Welcome to the discussions!
+What I would like to know is there any way I can reset/reboot my Time Capsule based on a time or day of the week.+
There's not a setting for this on the Time Capsule.
You might think then that you could plug the power cord of the Time Capsule into a simple electronic timer/scheduler available at most electronic stores and set it to a schedule of your choice.
The danger here is that the device might reboot in the middle of a Time Machine backup and that could cause some serious problems with corrupted files.
So, while it's a bit annoying, your best bet is to continue to reboot the Time Capsule manually as needed, making sure that a backup is not already in process when you power down and restart the device.

I have a new Macbook pro and can't recall the password I used with my Time capsule - How can I (ideally) retrieve or possibly change the time capsule password?

Remember security on a TC is an illusion.
Simply press the reset button for 1-2 sec.. you must not do too long .. it will then hard reset.. but soft reset will revert all passwords to default for 5min. ie TC password is now public.
Remember this the next time because anybody at all can change your passwords.
Once into the TC you can then open the view passwords if you wanted any weaker security. Click and open the TC.. and click on edit.. then go to the top menu..
Voila .. all your passwords in plain sight to any Tom Dick and Fred.

HT3728 Reset Time Capsule password.

Must I reset Time Capsule in order to change my password? (I have *not* forgotten my password; I simply want to change it.)
Thanks.

A) how long the password lenght it is avaiable for this time capsule
WPA uses either a passphrase (shared secret) that is comprised of 8 to 63 characters or a fixed-length of 64 Hex characters. These can include special characters and spaces.
B) how to reset the time capsule
Please review the following Apple Support article for how to reset your Time Capsule.
C) how to change the ssid
You would change the SSID, what Apple calls the Wireless Network Name, by using the AirPort Utility, as follows:
Run the AirPort Utility.
Select your Time Capsule, and then, select Edit.
Select the Network tab.
Enter the desired name (SSID) in the Wireless Network Name field.
Select Update, and then, allow the Time Capsule to restart.

Under Snow Leopard I used a WD My World NAS to back up my Mac Pro (Mid 2010). When I upgraded to Lion I am unable to access the backup because the NAS does not yet support AFP. I have now bought a Time Capsule and want to transfer the old backup onto it.

How can I recover the NAS back up to put on my new Time Machine.
Talking to Apple Support Adviser was a waste of time on case number 239647273
Any thoughts or pointers?

Keep the old OS around and just kick the tires and test new OS. Apple has a history and habit of breaking support in things like this.
You can use TimeMachine as one level of backup, and even there there were changes with Lion, I would always recommend foremost backup clones of every volume. And clone (SuperDuper etc) can be stored on something like HP NAS Media Server which also was supporting TimeMachine, iTunes - until Apple made that harder and more their own proprietary format.

Cloning as a Backup Strategy
Rather than "upgrade" I would clone the system, and do a clean install, then allow Setup Assistant to import your files.
