Can you recover saved data on a Time Capsule that has died?

I came home today to find that the green light to my Time Capsule was off. Did all the usual fixers...and after going to the several posts on a DEAD TC...I guess I have latest one. In addition to backing up my PC...I had a bunch of saved documents also.....can these be recovered or should I just can the TC?
Thanks for any responses!

With power supplies on ebay for $25 it is just as cheap and easy to unplug the power supply as it is to remove the hard disk and buy a cradle for it.
Power supply. Replacement left sitting next to the old one right. The covers have been removed and replaced.. Just make sure you get the 34W supply for the 2TB drive. The early supply was 30W and could not handle it.
Pull out the supply.. 3 plugs.. Mains in, Sata power and board.. and plug the new one in.
Only because these are fairly plentiful and much cheaper now.. it might not even last long.. but at least to recover your data and erase and sell as a working unit that is fair enough.
(not sure how long the post will last with pics of open TC??)

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.

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.

You need to follow the BTMM via icloud instructions.
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/back-to-my-mac/
There are plenty of other ways to do it.. but issues to do with Apple not using a dynamic DNS client so if your ISP does not allocate you a static public IP there is no way to find it, if the public ip rotates as they are designed to do hourly or daily.
Do a google search, remote access time capsule..
Or use the more like this on the right hand side... there are plenty of posts and even youtube video which go right through it.
BTW your school system may simply block the port.. if I was a school IT admin.. I would. You are dragging files across to the internal school network bypassing the firewall.. that is unacceptable risk to the whole school system.

Can you export the date and user to Excel that appears into a Comments field in a tracking list?

Hi everyone,
Can you export the date and user to Excel that appears into a Comments field in a tracking list?
When i export a tracking list with a Comment field in the Content type, the screen where you enter the data for an item, the Comments field just export the text of the comment into the Excel file.
In the Comments field appears also, besides the comment text, the user and date from who and when the comment is added.
Is there a way to export also the user and the date?
Thanks
Wim

create another comment field that doesn't use 'appending', and through SP Designer change workflow keep
updating that field with the new comments (prepend the field with date/username/new comment). Hide the field on all forms, but put it in the view you need to export to Excel.
Please refer few more links: Hope they will help

You can rename the sparsebundle file that Time Machine has used for the backups of a Mac on a Time Capsule.....if that is what you are asking......just like you can rename any file on a Mac.

Can you recover app data using Time Machine

When I got my 3GS, I consciously elected to create a new phone, rather than restoring from my previous backup. (Thought it would be best to start from scratch since I hadn't yet installed OS 3.0).
Anyway,I did this forgetting that only one app I use has any significant data associated with it -- my workout app.
Is there a way to recover the data for just that app using Time Machine?
Thanks.

Had a similar issue with Peggle (close to the last level, but my saves didn't transfer! AAAHH!!!). What I had to do (according to AppleCare) was to restore my phone from a backup. This doesn't take long at all, and you don't have to redownload the OS to do it (it simply replaces "your stuff" with the backup. Doing it this way (instead of going with "new phone" fixed my problem. From there, you can change the name of your phone or whatever you want in iTunes.
Hopefully you made a recent backup of your old phone so you can do this. If you deleted your backup, you can use Time Machine to restore it and THEN restore from backup on your new phone. But to my knowledge (and according to the Apple rep I talked to) there is no way to simply transfer data within the app itself.

Can I recover photos I deleted with time capsule?

Hi,
I am trying to recover 1 year full of photos (aprox 10,000) from my macbook pro. the memory is almost running out of my hard drive and when this happened around last year I did a backup of my entire computer with an WD external HS, and thought I had saved them. Now I cannot find my old photos on the external HD. I do not know the path to the photos and it is not easy to find them by looking at backups through path names. They were on the original path of the default iPhoto library. From the library, I can only see a few photos, which are not the originals I loaded.
Questions:
1. Since I cannot find them on the HD (which is 3/4 full now) I wonder if I could recover them by using time capsute?
2. I would also like to know if I use time capusule, and recover those files, do I loose the new ones?
3. What is the path to identify where photos are in iPhoto?
4. How do I only retrieve photos from the HD, I find it impossible to do this the way the data has been saved. I am trying to group all photos into anther HD.
Thanks,
Helene

How was the backup to Time Capsule done?
If done with Time Machine, you do realize that files backed up by Time Machine are not kept forever.
How full is the drive on Time Capsule?
1, The iPhoto library is usually kept in ~/Piucture/iPhoto Library which is a database. It is usually recommeded that you don't access this directly but use iPhoto.
2, I would copy iPhoto Library to another place just in case.
3, ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library unless you moved it some place else instead.
4, The directions to move the iPhoto library are in this article

How can I access the data on my time capsule remotely?

I see the drive under the shared tab in Finder, but I cannot open it. I am at school and need to access documents that are stored on my time capsule at home. When I set everything up, I enabled "sharing over WAN" and everything and set up the password access. The software is up to date. How can I get into my drive? I tried logging into icloud.com, but the only apps I see are the standard contacts, notes, etc. HELP!!!!!!!

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.

Can I access my data on my Time Capsule with my iPad without my laptop

I Recently sold my Mac Book; had all my information backed up to my Time Capsule, can my data be accessed with my iPad or do I need a new laptop?

If it was backed up with Time Machine, you have to have Time Machine to restore it.
Only Mac has TM.. so you need a Mac of some sort to restore it.. you can restore it to a disk.. and then access that over the network from ipad.. but of course your itunes library etc is still completely blocked to you.

How can you extend the signal range of time capsule

I have a time capsule in my office down stairs, and my apple tv upstairs, but the signal strength is very week (only one bar) so when I try to stream a movie is very slow. There is some thing I can do or buy to make the signal stronger??
Thank you.

You can add an AirPort Extreme to "extend a wireless network" to improve the wireless signal. Locate the AirPort Extreme approximately half way between the Time Capsule and the Apple TV.
Setup instructions are here:
