Can i backup files from my ipad2 to time capsule

I am trying to backup files from my ipad2 to a new 2t time capsule I just purchased. Is this possible? Also, is it ok to delete files from my macbook or ipad once they are backed up in order to free up space?

The solution is filebrowser app for ipad. Filebrowser is like finder in osx.

    How can i store files from a PC on Time Capsule

    Actually although the format on the TC is not NTFS but Mac HFS+, that is irrelevant as far as windows is concerned. The TC offers SMB protocol to the network.. so how the TC stores the files is totally irrelevant.
    1. TC is by nature not particularly SMB happy..
    Change all names, TC and wireless to SMB compatible. Short, no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
    Turn on the guest account to read write access.. assuming you don't have security issues.
    Set the workgroup correctly.. don't use wins server.. no body does nowadays.
    Note short no space names.. guest access and workgroup all set.
    2. Download and install airport utility for windows or just bonjour for windows.. bonjour should be included with the full uitlity but that is not necessary.
    3. Just doing the above when bonjour loads it should bring up TC as accessible.. if not, or you need to access it manually.. open windows explorer and type in the address bar.
    \\TCName or \\TCIPaddress .. obviously replacing the generic name with the actual one used. In my case. as per the above screen shot. \\TCGen3
    You will then see the main root directory of the TC.. data or whatever it is named..
    Create a new directory under the root directory for your windows files.. and copy them there.
    Note .. some issues can arise if you are using the TC for TM backups.. Please keep a large enough amount of free space available that TM still works.. pondini recommends using disk images.

    As long as you still have plenty of free space this is not an issue but TM may have issues when it fills the drive as it is designed to do.

  • How to transfer backup file from old to new time capsule?

    I'm having trouble copying the backup from my old to new time capsule.  I tried using this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5097?viewlocale=en_US

    You need to point out at which point you are failing.
    You do need the two TC plugged into each other by ethernet.. do not even dream of doing this over wireless. So a computer is plugged into the primary TC as well.. the secondary TC is in bridge mode.. you then simply copy and paste the sparsebundle from one TC to the next.
    IMHO this is not a good idea.. you are much better starting a new set of TM backups on the new TC.. keep the old TC for a few weeks to make sure there is nothing you need to recover then wipe it.
    There are also instructions in pondini if you insist on doing it.
    Transfer TM backups..

  • HT201250 Can one view pics from iPhoto application in time capsule backup?

    I am attempting to use my time capsule as a general backup disk for all my pics and movies in iPhoto, to then be able to erase all pics from my iMac.  Can one view iPhoto pics from the backup time capsule?

    You cannot "see" the images in your iPhoto Library on the Time Capsule. You can only restore the complete library.
    If you erase the iPhoto Library from your Mac, then iPhoto will not be able to find the iPhoto Library on the Time Capsule
    Do NOT ever erase the images from your Mac.
    If you do this, the only version that you will have will be on the Time Capsule. What will happen to your images when....not if....the Time Capsule has a problem?
    In addition, Time Machine backs up the changes on your Mac. If you delete the iPhoto Library from your Mac, then Time Machine will delete the backup....and you will not know when this will occur.

  • Move Time Machine files from hard drive to Time Capsule

    I got a new Time Capsule with 2TB drive. I currently have a 1TB external Firewire drive that I use for Time Machine. It's nearly full. I'd like to move all of my current backups to the Time Capsule, but doing that wirelessly will take forever. Can I have the Time Capsule be wireless for my internet connection AND mount the internal drive via ethernet to do the file transfer?

    To start with moving the Time Machine backup as you have requested is not a case of simple copy and paste.. TM does not backup on network drives in the same way as it does on local drives. You can much more easily move the Network backup to the local drive than visa versa as you are wanting to do.. IMHO don't bother.. keep the 1TB drive for a few months until you build up a complete backup history on the TC.. from that point you are unlikely to need earlier backups and you can wipe them.
    If you wish to try the details are here.
    http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    See Q18.
    Apparently this does not even work anymore with Mavericks and especially Yosemite.. so do not be surprised if after spending a day or two copying the TM backup to the TC it then refuses to connect.. and you have to scrub it and start a new clean backup anyway.
    Can I have the Time Capsule be wireless for my internet connection AND mount the internal drive via ethernet to do the file transfer?
    You can do this and we recommend it for first backup to the TC.. which is very large and should be the best as this first backup is then the basis for every increment thereafter.. TM never completely wipes this first backup.
    It is easy.. plug the computer into the TC by ethernet.. and turn off the wireless.. then do the backup.. once completed.. disconnect the ethernet and turn the wireless back on.

  • Wireless backups of iPhone4 and iPad2 to time capsule?

    Is this possible?  If not, it should be.  Apple is describing how iCloud gets all your content to all your devices without the need for a computer.  However, if you want to make a true backup -- the kind you can restore from in iTunes -- I still see a requirement for a computer.  Anybody have any insight into this issue?
    Thanks, JM

    Mac yes.. that is Time Machine built into every Mac since 10.5 OS
    The iphone and ipad backup to itunes.. which then is backed up by Time Machine to the Time Capsule.
    The idea of the iOS devices is to remove the file layer.. but you can download a file app for iOS which will allow you to copy files directly to the TC.

  • Clearing hidden backup files from start up disk, time machine

    Started gettin the slow down, so I had a tidy up. Moved all my movies audio etc and stored on external HDD, but as I have lion and time machine it saved a local back up so that when time machine was synced it didn't miss anything.
    Seems sensible, so next step was to sync time machine, expecting that the local back up would disappear when it shifted to TM. It didn't...
    PROBLEM: why in gods green earth is the local back up there even though TM connected the whole time and up to date?
    I've restarted, loaded all updates and verified disk...
    How do I get to the "it just works" part without having to Delete this double up (32GB "backups") via terminal etc....

    Hope information from the below linked  article helps.

  • Can I restore files from a Snow Leopard

    Can I restore files from a Snow Leopard Time Machine backup onto Lion?

    Not really a reply, but I have the same question.  I purchased a new iMac and installed Lion.  I used the Migration Assistant to copy everything to the new machine, but I would like to have a backup copy in case something gets lost.
    Why don't you just do a new backup?
    Can I restore individual files from the Time Machine backup on Computer A running Snow Leopard to Computer B running Lion?
    Yes, via #16 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  But the permissions from Computer A will be restored, too, so the user account you restore them to on computer B may or may not have permission to see or change them.

  • How can I return files in Trash, more than 1 at a time? I can place many files into Trash at a time.

    I placed many unix.exe files into Trash, more than one at a time. I recently updated 'QuickTime' and the Mac version of 'SilverLight"
    (name might be totally 'correct). I don't know if removing these files can impede my iMac 2008 running OS 10.6.8(updated SnowLeopard).
    I know I can 'return' one file from Trash at a time. When I try to return more than one ('mouse click' and 'drag'
    over 2 or more files, the'return' option isn't listed. Is there a way I can either 'return all' or return more than one file
    at a time?

    Only one at a time. But where are they from? Did you delete system files or are these Windows files (.exe is a Windows extension?)

  • Can't access a USB Drive connected to Time Capsule from a Windows PC.  Apple Care can't/won't assist.  HELP!!!

    Trying to get my Windows 7 PC to access the USB Drive that is connected to my Time Capsule.  I have a Fat32 Formatted USB drive connected to a 2TB Time Capsule and I'm trying to get access to that drive from a Windows 7 PC.  I've attempted to map the network drive (based on some 3-4 year old articles I could find online) but any time I access a file from the PC, the Time Capsule "freaks out" and disconnects all connections to it which forces me to unplug it to restart the Tim Capsule.  I'm at a loss now as to what to do.
    Spent a few hours talking to Apple about this and much more.  Apple Care can't or won't help with this particular problem (the guy I talked to, as nice and helpful as he wanted to be, had no experience supporting their hardware in a Windows environment).
    Someone has to know how to fix this so, PLEASE, help if you can!

    First off, Archon23, what you want to achieve is possible.  I have access to both my Time Capsule (TC) and the USB drive connected to it, from a Win. 7 and Win. XP machine.
    Here is what I see from the Windows side of things:
         From My Computer - TC USB Drive (Y)
         From Windows HomeNet - Time Capsule:
    Now getting there is the trick.
    One caveat before proceeding:  I am not well versed in Windows Networks, Windows Sharing and Firewall settings so some of the following may not be elegant, may not be absolutely required, and may not be the best way of getting there.  But it is what I did to see both the TC drive and it's attached USB  drive on the Windows side of my network..
    1.) First, I added Airport Utility to the Inbound rules of Win 7 Firewall
    While poking around my Network Sharing and Firewall settings trying to figure this out, I got a Pop-up recommending I do that.  AND I did that. Oh, and while you are at it, make sure you have a Home network established. 
    2.) Next, on a hunch, I installed a USB Wi-Fi Adapter (under $20) to my Win PC, enabled that Wi-Fi connection and disabled my Ethernet connection.  I was getting no where on this matter with my Ethernet connection to a DSL Gateway.  But with a Wi-Fi connection to my AirPort Express Base Station, I made progress.
    3.) Finally, while poking around my Network Sharing Center some more, one by one I started the various network device Setup Wizards in there, and Trouble Shooters, to find the elusive TC/USB devices in question...AND voila, it worked.   And it's stable, been this way for going on two weeks now.
    Good luck.

  • Can't copy some files from FileVault Sparsebundle in Time Machine backup

    I've got filevault turned on for my mac Mac Mini (10.6.2). I'm using Time Machine to back up to a firewire drive. There's plenty of space - my Mini hd has 250 Gb of 500 used, and I'm backing up to a 750Gb partition on the external drive. The initial backup went OK, and when I logged out it backed up my filevault-protected home directory. When I logged back in, I was able to browse the Backups.backupdb on the external drive, go to the users directory, and open the sparsebundle that was my filevault-protected home directory (after entering the password). I can browse through this backup of my home directory. However, when I try copying files from the backup of the home directory, I get an error:
    The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in "(filename)" can't be read or written. (Error code -36).
    I get this error for some files, but not all of them. I've tried running BatChmod to reset permissions on all files in my home directory, and then erasing the backup drive and having Time Machine recreate the backup. However I'm still having this problem.
    I have also tried restoring the entire hard drive (to a 3rd external HD) by booting from the 10.6 DVD and going through the full-restore process. All of my files are fine when I restore using this method.
    Is there something I should do so that I can restore individual files from the backup of my filevault sparsebundle? It is extremly inconvenient to have to do a full hard drive restore if all I want is a file or two, and of course if the motherboard on my mini dies and I can't get a close enough replacement computer, then I could really be up a creek.

    Don't try to restore files individually by hand using finder. TM backups are protected by very restrictive ACLs and are not designed to be accessed that way.
    you can restore the whole sparse bundle with the home directory from TM interface. you should be logged in as a different user when you do this. the easiest is to be logged in as root so as not to deal with any permissions issues.
    another thing you might try is doing it from command line instead of finder. this is also not the designed way but might work where finder copy doesn't.
    to do this run the following terminal command after you mount the sparse bundle with backups of the home directory
    ditto --noacl path/to/source/file /path/to/target/directory
    here path/to/source file is the path to the file in the sparse bundle you want to restore and path/to target directory is the path to the folder where you want to copy it to. an easy way to get the path to an item is to drag that item to the terminal window. make sure that you have all the spaces correctly in the command.
    It is extremly inconvenient to have to do a full hard drive restore if all I want is a file or two, and of course if the motherboard on my mini dies and I can't get a close enough replacement computer, then I could really be up a creek.

    I have an iMac purchased in May 2011.  OSX Lion 10.7.3.  I deleted backup file from the external hard drive which operates from Time Machine.
    Now, the trash can will not empty some of the files deleted from the backup harddrive.
    The trash contains-- File folder: "Core Services" which contains a locked file: "boot.efi". 
    It will not delete.
    How do I get the trash can empty of these files?

    Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
    In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

  • How can I transfer files from one external HD (WD My Passport) to another external HD (Seagate Backup Plus)?  WD drive was improperly ejected and Finder no longer recognizes it.  Tried fixing with Disk Utility but failed.

    How can I transfer files from one external HD (WD My Passport 2T) to another external HD (Seagate Backup Plus 2T)?  WD drive was improperly ejected (although we did tell it to eject) and now Finder no longer recognizes it.   Using MacBook Pro and I just upgraded to Yosemite before this happened. Was told at Apple Store to use Disk Utility to repartition, but it failed.  It says to backup files and restore.  But how do I backup files?  Or would appreciate any other suggestions to repair drive.

    You may drag & drop between external hds. 
    Should you run into trouble.
    Take the exernal drive appart.  Take out the harddrive.  Try reading the data via a usb adapter. Put a household finan on the hd.
