Cannot connect to my old backups in Time Capsule after change Macbook HD

Hi!
I recently changed my MacBook's HD to an SSD drive. After that, I've installed Mountain Lion (before changing I had OSX Lion) and when I try to backup all my files again, Time Capsule keeps saying "Time Machine completed a verification of your backups on “DeLorean”. To improve reliability, Time Machine must create a new backup for you.".
I'm able to access all my old backups and restore them, normally. But I want to reconnect the Mac again, keeping the old backups as a continuation from my old OS. My MacBook's name remains the same, I've installed Mountain Lion using the same computer's name.
This scenario it's occurring since February 2013. Last weekend I've changed the HD of my wife's MacBook and I'll need to reconnect it too. I tried the steps in Pondini's website (very interesting by the way!!!) but, when I try the B6 Troubleshooting "Reconnecting to your backups" using the pink section, I received the message "Read-only file system (error 30)".
I'm using the 2nd Generation of Time Capsule, 2 TB of disk. All other functions works propperly (WiFi, AirPlay, router, external SATA drive connected in USB port). Is it possible to reconnect them without erasing all older backups?

That's Apple's way of saying the backups are damaged beyond OSX's ability to repair them, and TM will not back up to them again. See #C13 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.

It's not going to do that, either, since the backups are damaged.
No, sorry, damaged is damaged. You can read and restore from them (unless you happen to hit any damaged spots), but nothing else.
It's always prudent to make "secondary" backups, especially when your main ones are on a network. See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #27 for details and some suggestions.
I'd strongly recommend getting an external HD and backing-up to it, probably with one of the "cloning" apps in that link, but you could use TM instead. Do that before deleting the TM backups (so you have something to recover from if something awful happens before you have an "insurance" set.
If there's nothing else on the TC's HD, just erase it, per the green box in #Q5 of Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule. That will only take a few moments.
If there is (sounds like there are two sets of backups there?), delete the damaged ones (the name may now be <your computer name>.purgeable) per the tan box in the same link. Do that, and the first new backup, while connected via Ethernet. It will still take a looooong time, but be 2-3 times faster than WIFI.

Can I backup to Time Capsule after disk repair has failed? How can I save my files?

Downloaded and installed most recent edition of Mountain Lion OSX. All of a sudden, drive is full. Delete photos, unused user accounts. MacBook freezes. Shut it down with power button. Now - drive verified. There are issues. Disk repair has failed - says backup whatever files I can and do a restore.
Can I backup to brand new, never synced Time Capsule? All of the photos of my baby, wedding and the rest of the last five years of my life is in the balance.
Help!

If you want to preserve the data on the boot drive, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to fully boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
1. Boot into Recovery (command-R at startup) or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) Launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in the support article linked below, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
How to back up and restore your files
2. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode by holding down the key combination command-T at the startup chime. Connect the two Macs with a FireWire or Thunderbolt cable. The internal drive of the machine running in target mode will mount as an external drive on the other machine. Copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode
3. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.

How to restore the backup files on time capsule after reinstalled the system

please can someone help me to restore my backups on time capsule after reinstalled the new system. I tried after finished reinstall but it could not find. I also tried with the migration assistant in utilities, it also doesn't work. I always have time machine backed up all my files but now I can not bring anything back

What "new system" did you reinstall?
Are you upgrading from Leopard to Snow Leopard?
Or did you reinstall Leopard? If so, why and how (that may provide a clue)?
How is your Mac connected to the Time Capsule (use Ethernet for best results)?
You may need to repair the backups, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.

HT3728 When I reconnect my Time Capsule after a factory reset, the Airport Utility shows ther message"Unexpected error. Try again." I also get this if I redo the factory reset.

The Time Capsule is not providing a wireless connection.
When I reconnect my Time Capsule after a factory reset, the Airport Utility shows ther message"Unexpected error. Try again." I also get this if I cancel the Airport Utility app and restart it. I performed the factory reset again, restarted the Airport Utility and received the same error. What are the steps to debug and fix the wireless problem?
My Time Capsule is connected to my FIOS router and to my Mac Mini. I am still able to connect to the Internet from the Mini via ethernet. It seems that the Time Capsule acts as a bridge for the ethernet connections between Internet to FIOS, FIOS to Time Capsule, and Time Capsule to Mac Mini.

Which model TC is this? The A1xxx number from the base please.
Try the setup in full isolation from the network.. so unplug the TC from the network.. and turn off wireless in the mini.. so you have mini--ethernet--lan port TC.. and nothing else.
Do the factory reset.
Now check if TC comes up in airport utility..
If it fails, turn on ipv6 local link.. if you are using 6.3 utility this could be necessary.
Still fails, try loading the v5 utility.. you will need to plug the computer back into the FIOS to get internet. Then depending on OS.. Lion according to your profile.. you can just down the utility.. ML takes more steps.
See below.
Do you have an iphone or ipad.. download the airport utility app and use those for the setup.. that can sometimes work better.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall 6.1 (now 6.2 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.
For screen shots see this post.

HT201250 How to restore laptop from time capsule after replacing hard drive

How do I reload all my programs and files from a time capsule after changing hard drive? Also Apple store reloaded with Snow Leopard and not Lion. Will that be a problem? Thank you

Plug the external drive into a computer by usb or whatever box you have available..
When you say blank, is it correctly formatted.. we recommend HFS+ which is Mac OS Extended (jorrnaled)
Make sure you use GUID type disk setup not MBR if it came from PC world.
Copy the files via finder from TC to the external drive.

Not only that but my Mac Pro keep running and does not stop, my Address book has a blue light under it but wont open, the light for my monitor in the bottom right corner wont turn on or off. Please need help...

It sounds like there is an issue with the Mac itself.
Use the verify disk A5 in troubleshooting.
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Even if you cannot connect by ethernet, at current location.. you can simply disconnect the TC from the network and bring it to the Mac and plug it in by ethernet. The TC can be reset if you haven't got a suitable current setup (save previous setup before you change it) and run just as backup device.. do the backup and then return it to the network.
If this is just a standard incremental backup.. then something has broken. The issue is not the TC pe se but failure in hardware somewhere.

Sharepoint list dataheet view error "Cannot connect to the server at this time. You can continue working with this list, but some data may not be available"

I have a List which is having around 14000 items in it.while opening that list in datasheet view it is giving error .
Below is a summary of the issue:
After selecting datasheet view beow error occurs:
    "Cannot connect to the server at this time. You can continue working with this list, but some data may not be available."
    "Unable to retrieve all data."
    The item counts displays say 100 out of 14000 items.
Exporting List to excel is giving only 2000 records out of 14000 records.
Other Observations   -
This is happening to only one list on the site .There are other lists in the site whose no. of records is equal to 8000 to 9000.They are working absolutely fine without any error.
Also, If I am saving this list as a template and creating another list with it ,then it is working absolutely fine with 14000 records,so the issue does not seem to be related with no. of records as the template list is working fine.
I have checked the Alternate access mapping setting ,its fine.
It should not be related to lookup,datefield or any other column as the list created from it template is working fine with all these columns.
I checked below links also ,but doesn't seem to work in my case.

I have spent two days to resolve this issue. Microsoft has released two KBs with reference to this issue...but are not appearing in search results at the top.
I am sharing my finding.
1. First install the
KB2552989 (Hopefully you might have already installed it. The KB detetcts it and informs the user.)
2. Then update registry by adding new key for data fetch timeout as mentioned inKB2553007
These two steps resolved the issue in our environment. Hope it might help others as well.

I am trying to update my time machine backup on time capsule, but time machine keeps trying to create an entirely new backup (evidenced by the 200GB backup size). How can I get time machine to modify my old backup rather than create a new one?

It must have found the old backup corrupt.. so you will more than likely have little choice. You can archive off the old backup if it is still useful.
You can also verify it. See A5 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
He also has some info on this problem. eg C13.

I migrated info from a hard drive to a new mac under time machine. It says I have shared files, but I don't see the old info on the new machine. Where do I look for it ? How do I make the old backup the base for my new macbook ?

The old OS was Mac X 10.5.8. I think the new one is 10.7.2 Lion.

Have a read here How do I set up a new Mac from an old one, its backups, or a PC?

After formatting my HD and eventually restore my system from a backup on Time Capsule, will I still have access to my old backups as normally used to do via Time Machine?

I have a Time Capsule (4th Gen) and my backups on it, I need to completely erase my hard drive. My question is: after formatting my MacBook HD and eventually restore my system (OS X 10.6.8) from a backup on Time Capsule, will I still have access to my old* backups as normally used to do via Time Machine?
*(-and to the newer backups- if I had not restored my system from the last backup).
THANKS

That's a good question. Technically, Time Machine should make a new backup but not erase any old backups. But if there isn't sufficient space on the backup drive, then I'm not sure if Time Machine will simply warn you or just go ahead and remove old backups to make room for the new ones.
In any case, the new backup should have a different backup folder on the backup drive. That's my understanding. You can learn more at pondini.org.

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.

I am using a 2TB Time Capsule to backup four Mac computers. Can I also backup the Time Capsule itself to an external 4TB Seagate HD?

I have four Mac computers that are being backed up to a 2TB Time Capsule. I want to know if I can now backup the Time Capsule to an external hard drive. I would like to purchase a Seatgate Backup Plus 4TB Desktop Drive, STCA4000100, to do the job. In simple terms, I want to backup my backup. Does any of this make sense?

Just to add to Bob's comments it would be extremely slow. If you backup the TC 3TB to another drive.. there is no need for a drive bigger than 3TB..btw..
Because the TC cannot back itself up.. at least not incrementals, you need to run the application from a computer.. Bob listed suitable ones,, if you plug the drive into the TC, the files will be copied from TC to the computer then back to the TC and to the extremely slow USB interface. It is better to have the USB disk connected to the fastest interface hopefully USB3 on some computer.
IMHO if you are backing up the TM backups.. any corruption in the backup is then copied straight to the backup of the backups.. you are much better doing a backup fresh and use CCC or superduper to do it so you are using two different softwares. You can also store a couple of disk images of various dates..
One nasty habit of TM is to delete a backup if it discovers it is corrupted in some way.. so all that hard effort in having dated backups is lost in a moment.
