Can's access files from time capsule

I have a 2TB Time Capsule that is about 2 months old.  The wifi works however, when I go to access the files on the drive, the time capsule boots itself off of the network.  I use the time capsule to store my musics, movies, and pictures on.  Only a couple of gigs of space is being used.  I've done a soft reboot on the time capsule and on the ATT uverse box that it is bridged through.  Problem still persist.  Issue is happening on my macbook pro and windows laptop.  Machines can see the drive, back either the files or empty or time capsule goes off line.  Any thoughts. 

Yes, unless it's been deleted from the Time Capsule, which may happen when it runs out of space. Don't use the backup as a storage place for files you intentionally delete from the computer; it's designed for recovery of accidentally deleted content, and if desired, for use with the Migration Assistant when setting up a new Mac.

  • Can't access files in Time Capsule in WIN7 64 Bit- says folder is empty

    Hi there. I can't seem to access my files in Time Capsule using WIN7 64 BIT, it works fine as a router , i can see the time capsule online and how much space it's occupied, however whenever i click on it , it says folder it empty. I can access the files from OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard).
    I tried to drag and drop new files into the Time Capsule in WIN7 , it copies/paste the files fine for a second and then disappear, and if i go back to the Snow Leopard i can see those folders again , so i am guessing i need enable some kind access/ file sharing option or whatever that allows the files to be visible. Has anyone faced this situation in WIN7 64 BIT ?
    Thanks

  • Can't add/access files from Time Capsule

    I have two time capsules, one that I bought for myself and one that my brother gave to me. For the past couple of months, I've been using the time capsule I bought for myself to back up my imac and I've also been adding video files from my macbook air into a separate folder I created in the time capsule. This method has been working really well for me and I have approximately 700 GB of space left on the the time capsule. However, after I downloaded the Mac OS X 10.5.5 update, every time I try to add video files to the folder on my time capsule, the time capsule disconnects itself after freezing my finder application for about 10-20 minutes. The same thing happens when I try to access the files in the folder. I've been using my brother's time capsule for the time being, but I'm worried I won't ever be able to access these files again. Can anyone help me with this problem? Thank you,
    Sugi

  • Can't migrate files from time capsule, resource temporarily unavailable

    My old iMac 20" Intel late 2006 crashed. It got slower and froze as well as lines across, so I thought it's the graphic card. At the same time the SOPHOS Anti virous detected malware and trojan on my computer which was removed manually.
    Unfortunately with the 20" late 2006 model the card cannot be replaced. Ran hardware test and did not indicate any hardware issues. Finally could not boot from the disc. When I turned on the machine, I could hear fans running and some other noice but only black screen. We back up our computers every hour onto a time capsule.
    I purchased a new iMac 21.5 " and thought it will be easy to migrate everything from the time capsule. I done it in the past when I had to replace the hard drive on the old iMac 2 years ago.
    Unfortunately when I try to access the time capsule, I received the message of data damaged and now resource temporarily unavailable. How can I retrieve my data? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    You will be in deep trouble if the TM backup is corrupt..
    Run the verify disk on the sparsebundle.. Pondini has some instructions here.
    http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    Look at A5
    Also there are manual methods of getting as much as possible from the backup if it is not corrupted too badly..
    Look at http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    He gives several methods to restore files.. read Q14-17.

  • Can I Retrieve Files From Time Capsule?

    I had a MacBook Pro that was fully backed up to a Time Capsule. The laptop was stolen last week. I have some files (photos I wanted to use for holiday cards) I wanted to retrieve while I save up some money to buy a new MacBook. I have two powerbooks and was wondering if it is possible to connect them to Time Capsule to access those other files. They are 10.4 and don't have Time Machine. I suppose I could connect computer to Time Capsule using a USB cable and it would act like any other external hard drive?

    Ok. I just upgraded one of the powerbooks to Leopard. But still no luck accessing individual files... Migration assistant will transfer accounts. All I'm looking to do right now is transfer a few documents, photos, etc. Help!

  • Deleted files from Time Capsule by mistake. How can i recover them?

    I was using DiskTracker to organize the contents of Time Capsule. I deleted some folders from within DiskTracker unaware that this would delete files from Time Capsule itself.
    I have several recovery software but none of them is able to see Time Capsule, as it is connected through my Lan. I have a lot of valuable data and i would appreciate any suggestion or help on recovering these folders. Please note that i have not written or deleted any files since the accident.

    I have the same issue and am about to make another post ... Have you head anything or gotten any tips?

  • Lost the contents of Bookmarks Menue, can i recover it from time capsule

    Mac OS 10.8.3/Safari 6.0.
    items previously in my Bookmarks Menu are no longer lited. Can they be recovered from Time Capsule, If so please explain how? Thank you.

    Triple-click the text on the line below to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):
    ~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
    Quit Safari. Disable Safari synchronization in iCloud, if applicable.
    Select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the Finder menu bar. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A folder window should open with a file named "Bookmarks.plist" selected. Restore the file from a backup that predates the unwanted changes. If you disabled sync, re-enable it and test.

  • How to restore mail files from Time Capsule onto a different machine?

    My Macbook Pro hard drive crashed, and I want to restore my backed-up mail files from Time Capsule onto my Desktop Mac (iMac 27").  When I try to restore by opening Time Capsule with Mail already open, I can only see the current mail files on the iMac (not the backed up files on the MacBook Pro), even when I point to the MacBook Pro backup file.

    Hello there, AngryMario.

  • Does Time Capsule back up everything on my computer? If I inadvertently delete photos from iPhoto can they be retrieved from Time Capsule?

    Does Time Capsule back up everything on my computer? If I inadvertently delete photos from iPhoto can they be retrieved from Time Capsule?

    About TM "Backup Drive is Full"
    Alert TM only deletes older files if they have been deleted from the source and when TM needs space on the backup drive for a new incremental backup. Time Machine "thins" it's backups; hourly backups over 24 hours old, except the first of the day; those "daily" backups over 30 days old, except the first of the week. The weeklies are kept as long as there's room.
    So, how long a backup file remains depends on how long it was on your Mac before being deleted, assuming you do at least one backup per day. If it was there for at least 24 hours, it will be kept for at least a month. If it was there for at least a week, it will be kept as long as there's room.
    Note, that on a Time Capsule the sparsebundle grows in size as needed, but doesn't shrink. Thus, from the user's view of the TC it appears that no space has been freed, although there may be space in the sparsebundle.
    Once TM has found it cannot free up enough space for a new backup it reports the disk is full. You can either erase the backup drive and start your backups anew or replace the drive with a larger drive.

  • How can I access files from a flash drive that were previously saved using a Windows computer? When I attempt to open the file on MacBook Pro, it is asking to "convert file to"; I also have Microsoft Word installed on the Mac as well.

    How can I access files from a flash drive that were previously saved using a Windows computer? When I attempt to open the file on MacBook Pro, it is asking to "convert file to"; none of the options I choose work. I also have Microsoft Office (with Word) installed on the Mac as well.

    Format the external drive as FAT32 or ExFAT. Both computers will then be able to read and write to it.

    Yes, probably can.. but it won't be fast. You are better storing programs locally and data remotely.

  • How do i transfer files from time capsule to new computer?

    I recently lost my vintage Imac hard drive and to top it off, likely had a faulty OS. Good news is I have a time capsule, bad news is it is also suspected to have the faulty OS. The Imac is history and I currently have a macbook pro with Lion OS installed and now I want to retrieve all my files off the time capsule. I was told to simply "drag and drop" the files from time capsule to my new macbook. apparantly not so simple. I see the the drive in finder and a lonely folder which I am seemingly unable to do anything with. any suggestions?

    Drag and drop is not the way to go. Run Migration Assistant, found in your Applications/Utilities folder on the Macbook Pro. Follow prompts to recover information from a Time Machine backup, and point it to the Time Capsule.
    Note that the recovery will recreate your old user from the iMac. You will have already set up a user on the MBP, but the files will not go into your new user - they'll go into your old user. Once you log out, you'll see your old user appear as a login option.
