How do i back up files from my MM running 10.4.11? and TC

Hi I have bought a TC and works fine as shared drive on my home network (and i noticed the speed on internet with my MBA)
My MBA backs up fine but how do i do it with the mac mini?

Hello,
MM = Mac Mini?
MBA = MacBook Air
What is TC please? Do you mean TimeCapsule?
Even though you are running 10.4.11 and in the correct forum for the OS, you might want to repost in the Time Capsule forum here: Time Capsule Forum

  • How do i back up files from mac to external harddrive

    how do I back up files from mac to external harddrive not using time machine?

    First format the external as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    Connect via Firewire.
    If it is just a few files or folders you want to back up you can just drag and drop. Or you can use SyncTwoFolders to keep the backups up to date.
    If you want to back up your entire start-up disk use SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner, both of which can make a bootable clone of your entire start-up drive.
    You can Google for the download sites of these applications, or search here:

  • How to retrieve backed up files from my computer

    i have voice recordings and pictures that are in my backed up folder on my computer, but my phone is backed up to two days ago.  how do i get those files that are on my computer onto my phone??

    the backup that is on my computer is an itunes backup and the files are encrypted.  I can't see what the files are.  This is very frustrating.  When I restore a backup it only does the latest backup.  What do I do if I want a backup from a few months ago that has the files that I am looking for?  What's the point in a backup if you can't get those files?

  • How to delete backed up files from Time Capsule in Lion.

    Since I upgraded to Lion I have been unable to delete old backed up items in Time Machine. I use Time Capsule and previously with Snow Leopard I could right click on a file and choose to delete all copies of the file. The option to do that is no longer available. Is there a setting I'm missing here? Thanks.

    You cannot delete items from Local backups (the white "tick marks").  See #30 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.

  • HT1751 How to transfer iTunes media files from external drive to another external drive and bring in the library from the main drive.

    I have my iTunes media on an external hard drive while the library is on the main computer drive. I want to move both to a larger external drive. How do I get both together? When I consolidate, it only transfers the media files. Help.

    Since I already consolidated, can I just move the library to the root level of the external drive then option click to point to that library? But using that method, all the media files are at the root level along with the iTunes folder. So nothing will be in the iTunes media folder itself. WIll that work?

  • Lightroom - how to restore backed up files (not Lightroom catalogue) from one external drive to another?

    How to restore backed up files (not lightroom catalogue) from one external drive to another.
    I recently backuped my photo files from one external drive to another. The backup (carbon copy cloner) pointed to some corrupt files on the original drive.
    I have deleted those files and am finding good copies of them  in Time Machine backups.
    I want to get rid of the original external drive; use the recent backup as my main external and then back it up onto a brand new drive.
    What I am not sure about is how to point lightroom to the backups so it knows to look on the new drive instead of the old drive and all those exclamation marks and question marks go away.
    There are close to 60,000 images in numerous folders all with one 'parent folder.'
    My best guess is from Lightroom Help - Create and Manage Folders -  Locate Missing Folders
    Can I point to the one parent folder and all the subfolders will come back?
    Is this the process to recover files into lightroom and will there be a problem with so many photos?

    Hi, how do I access my back up files from the time machine if my mac book pro was stolen? I have a mac book air and mac too. But not sure how I can get back all the files from the stolen computer from my time capsule

    On the Mac Book Air or other Mac that you have, use Migration Assistant to transfer files from the Time Machine backups of the Mac that was taken.

  • Using Time Machine, is it possible to back up a computer AFTER a specific date. I only want to back up files from AFTER January 2015. Is this possible, and how can I do this?

    Is what you're saying that you only want backups in TM of the state of your Mac from January 2015 to the current date and nothing before then? I'd think the simplest solution would just be to delete in TM all the backups prior to 1/15 and then let TM do its thing. The ultimate source for all things Time Machine is here. On this page, note the comment that "Time Machine will never delete the backup copy of anything that was on the disk being backed-up at the time of any remaining backup" which I understand to mean that if you delete all the backups in the TM file prior to 1/15, any file that wasn't present on your Mac as of 1/15 will no longer be represented in the TM file. Note that the second link also has instructions for how to delete TM files.
    If you were trying to accomplish something else, then as Emily Litella (Gilda Radner in SNL) used to say, "never mind."

    It's a Finder feature, related to Quick Look. You can hit the space bar in the file list to get a preview.
    If that doesn't work, you may have an issue witha  preference file or similar. I find rebuilding the launch databse works quite well resilving tis kind of thing, as does trashing Finder preferences
