How can I view/copy data from one Time Capsule backup to another computer

My MBP and MB both back up to Time Capsule. From the MBP I can see it's data on TC via my network but not the backed up data from the MacBook. How can I view and import MB data to my MBP from Time Capsule via AirPort? Thanks!

Is the backup software Time Machine??
You can open the TM backup as long as you haven't used profiles to backup. Or encypted it in latest Mountain Lion.
See Q17 here. http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
You should read through all the stuff about using TM.. and restore in particular.. 14-18.

    Do you mean copy it?  If so, see #18 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions  You'll need section 2 there.
    If you mean something else, please clarify.

  • I have Time Machine that I used to back up my old computer. It was running snow leopard. My MacBook died, so I got a new one which is running Lion.  how can I restore the data from the time capsule to my new Mac?

    In technical support, sometimes you have to make educated guesses. I'm sorry that you were offended.
    iTunes does prompt when it is going to erase a device, and the message is clear.
    She said in her message that she was able to successfully sync the old ipad. This indicated to me that itunes wiping the data was not an issue, because either it had been setup at the apple store (in which case it doesn't actually wipe the ipad despite saying it will*) (*based on a single case I saw), or because the itunes media folder was migrated.
    Furthermore, my solution was to tell her how to backup her ipad (by either doing it manually, or as a last resort, by deleting the corrupt backup -- that she couldn't access anyway.)
    I got that last part of the instructions from the "Taking Control of your iphone" book which I found samples of when I did a google search for "corrupted backup itunes".
    She marked this as a solution, so it worked for her.

  • Retrieving work files/data from a time machine backup off another computer

    If I create a time machine backup on one imac (imac 1) onto an external drive, I want to know if I can use this backup on another mac (imac 2) and restore or retrieve the old work files as and when required work from the external drive (time machine backup)? onto imac 2?

    You can't use Time Machine for Restoring on iMac 2 (if you made an TM Backup with iMac 1), but you can easily drag files from the "Time-machine-Backup-volume" in Finder on your iMac 2!

  • How do I transfer data from one time capsule to new time capsule when TC backs up an iMac and Power Book

    How do I transfer data from one time capsule to new time capsule when TC backs up an iMac and MacBookPro

    It is generally better to leave the old backups and start again.. unless there is something you particularly need.
    But if you desperately want all the old backups you have to copy the sparse bundles.. this will take very long time as it must copy via the computer..

    Take particular note of the initial comments.. ie before you read how to do it.. don't do it.

  • How to recover the autocomplete data from a Time Machine backup?

    How to recover the Safari 5.1.7 autocomplete data from a Time Machine backup on Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)?
    To solve other issues (Safari crashing sometimes when saving web pages), I selected:
    Safari - Empty Cache
    Safari - Reset Safari - Selected ALL - Reset
    I could later on recover some Safari autofill data restoring
    HD/Users/~/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
    HD/Users/~/Library/Safari/Form Values
    HD/Users/~/Library/Safari/History.plist
    but other autocomplete data is missing, including the one when filling web form search fields in web pages, for instance, and also some username and password login data on some web sites.
    How to restore all such data from the Time Machine Backup?
    Thanks!

    I also recovered:
    HD//Users/~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain
    What else should I recover?

  • Copying data from a Time Capsule to a different Mac

    After having searched the forums for quite a while and still not finding the correct answer, I decided to share my solution for this very specific scenario: I have a Time Machine backup onto a Time Capsule from a Mac. Let's call it Macintosh A. So, for whatever reason, Macintosh A is out of commission—perhaps it's in the shop, or it experienced a hardware failure, whatever—and you want to get data from the backup onto another Mac, we'll call it Mac B. Here's how. First off, these instructions assume a few things:
    You know how to navigate files and folders on the Mac
    You are running OS X Mavericks (the procedure will be similar in other versions of Mac OS but these specific instructions are for Mavericks)
    You are on the same Wi-Fi or ethernet network as the Time Capsule
    You are viewing files and folders in column mode (wherever I say click on a folder, it translates to double click if you are in icon or list mode—if you're using cover flow, stop and change to one of the other actually useful view modes)
    You know the device password to your Time Capsule (this is usually different than your Wi-Fi password)
    Wherever you see Macintosh A in the instructions, substitute your backed up computer's name (I know, but this trips up a surprising number of people...)
    Make sure that when you set up the Time Capsule via Airport Utility, you tick "Enable file sharing" (see the Disks tab in the Airport Utility configuration window). Next, while in the Finder, select "Go: Connect to Server..." and in the subsequent dialogue box, click on "Browse". This will open a Finder window listing the available volumes. Click Network and your Time Capsule should appear as one of the options. Click on it and you'll come to a connect dialogue. Click on the "Connect As..." button and it will open a password dialogue box (this may take a bit of time, especially if you are connecting over Wi-Fi). Enter your Time Capsule password and click "Connect". Click on the Data folder and you will come to something called a Sparse Bundle. It will have a name something like this: "Macintosh A.sparsebundle". This is simply a type of volume that you can connect to from your Mac. Double click on it. Depending on how you have configured your Finder, your Time Machine Backups icon may show up on the Desktop or simply in the Finder window Sidebar under "DEVICES". Once you locate this, navigate to the "Macintosh A" folder and you will see a series of folders named by date. Now you can navigate through those folders to find the specific files that you want to recover. Once you locate those files, simply copy them to your Mac (Mac B, in this example).
    The abstruse nature of the Time Machine and Time Capsule backup system is daunting. And let's not forget that when you are trying to restore files, it's often because there is some sort of computer failure and this is stressful enough without having clear cut instructions on how to restore files. And often enough, people don't want to restore their entire system—they may just want to access certain files. This is for them.
    Good luck and happy restoring!

    Take a look at Migration Assistant, in the /Applications/Utilities folder.  You can use a Time Machine backup to restore your data files.

  • Transferring data from one Time Capsule's drive to another?

    Hi, was wondering if anyone had any input on this.
    A coworker has one of the older model 500GB Time Capsule units and just purchased one of the new dual bandwidth 500GB units.
    We are simply trying to move the data on the old drive to an area where it can be copied onto the new time capsule.
    When plugging in the old unit, we're getting a blinking amber light and the Airport Utility is not recognizing the old unit.
    I think there might be a conflict as we already have an active AirPort in the office so I'm going to wait until later to attempt it again.
    My question is, can I somehow wire the time capsule via USB to our existing Airport where it could recognize the time capsule as a shared external hard drive? Any other connection options to make the time capsule's drive visible so we can at least get the data off of it?

    Steve,
    Welcome to the Apple discussions!
    Have you tried connecting both of them together via ethernet? They should both show up in the SideBar of a finder window. Naturally they will need to be named differently to distinguish them from each other. What are you trying to transfer? Time machine backups? Or other files?
    With them attached to each other, have you tried using the "Archive" feature of Airport Utility? That will clone the contents of one to the other.
    Otherwise, your best option, and fastest, might be to use an external HD between the two TCs.
    Attache a HD to the first TCs USB port.
    Then use Airport Utility to "Archive" the data to the HD.
    Once that's complete, move the HD to the USB port of the other TC.
    At this point I'm unclear because I've never done it before, but copy over the data from the HD to the TC. I don't suppose Disk Utilities "Restore" feature would work at this point as the TCs HD would show up in the source pane.
    Maybe this will give you some ideas though,
    Cheers!

  • How can you retrieve photo's from the time capsule(airport)

    Hi
    I recently had a problem with my mac and had to archive my stuff and put the operating system back on my computer.
    I 'lost' everything however I have been able to get some things back from the time capsule (airport) from previous backups. I can not find my photo's and they are the most important things I want back on my computer.
    Can anyone help? I have tried various things but still can't find them.
    thanks Lorraine

    If you did an Archive and Install, look for your "Previous System" folder and check for iPhoto in it.

  • How to read LONG RAW data from one  table and insert into another table

    Hello EVERYBODY
    I have a table called sound with the following attributes. in the music attribute i have stored some messages in the different language like hindi, english etc. i want to concatinate all hindi messages and store in the another table with only one attribute of type LONG RAW.and this attribute is attached with the sound item.
    when i click the play button of sound item the all the messages recorded in hindi will play one by one automatically. for that i'm doing the following.
    i have written the following when button pressed trigger which will concatinate all the messages of any selected language from the sound table, and store in another table called temp.
    and then sound will be played from the temp table.
    declare
         tmp sound.music%type;
         temp1 sound.music%type;
         item_id ITEM;
    cursor c1
    is select music
    from sound
    where lang=:LIST10;
    begin
         open c1;
         loop
              fetch c1 into tmp; //THIS LINE GENERATES THE ERROR
              temp1:=temp1||tmp;
              exit when c1%notfound;
         end loop;
    CLOSE C1;
    insert into temp values(temp1);
    item_id:=Find_Item('Music');
    go_item('music');
    play_sound(item_id);
    end;
    but when i'm clicking the button it generates the following error.

    IF MY PROCESS TO SOLVE THE ABOVE PROBLEM IS OK THEN PLESE TELL ME THE SOLUTION FOR THE ERROR. OTHER WISE PLEASE SUGGEST ME,IF ANY OTHER WAY IS THERE TO SOLVE THE ABOVE PROBLEM.
    THANKS IN ADVANCE.

    You can achieve this in many different ways, one is
    1. Create another VO based on the EO which is based on the dest table.
    2. At save, copy the contents of the source VO into the dest VO (see copy routine in dev guide).
    3. commiting the transaction will push the data into the dest table on which the dest VO is based.
    I understand that if we attach VO object instance to region/page, we only can pull and put data in to only one table.
    if by table you mean a DB table, then no, you can have a VO based on multiple EOs which will do DMLs accordingly.Thanks

  • How do i transfer data from one Time Capsule to another?

    We ran out of space on our old Time Capsule, so I purchased the 2TB model. Problem is that there are no direction (that I can locate) on how to switch over from one device to the other! Can anyone direct me to some online instructions?

    The great Pondini.. wonder of TM
    http://pondini.org/TM/18.html
    saves the day.
    But IMHO.. start a fresh TM backup on the new TC.. preserve the old TC for posterity.. about 6months.. after which time if you didn't need anything on it you won't.
