Had one mac backed up with TC went to back another to same time capsule now can not find back up for original mac

Had my main mac computer in office for many weeks backed up with TC, all was fine. Earlier today went to back up my Mac Book to the same TC. All appeared to go fine. However went to original mac to see the back ups from the main mac. Said connection error could n ot connect. I can not find any of the original back ups?
I was told that it was a straight forward procedure to add another computer's backups?

On the main computer I try and enter the Time Machine and it is telling me that there is no Location for Time Machine Backups. It then tells me that I need to set time machine up again. I then select the time capsule and ask to use it for back up. It then goes on to tell me that "There was an error connecting to server. Check server name or IP Address, then try again.

    When you use Migration Assitant it creates another user account and puts your files there. Please log out of your normal account and log into the new account. Had you use Setup Assistant when it asked if you were migrating that would not have occured. You have a couple of options, combine the two accounts (not recommended) or start over, use Setup Assistant and have everything in one user account. Here is a link to Pondin's guide for Lion Setup Assistant tips however if you want to combine the two accounts he has addressed that in

  • Time capsule now does not work with Lion just installed.

    Just downloaded Lion to Mac Air. Time capsule now does not work. Where is the problem?

    Restart the TC.. lion is stupid.. it forgets what it is connected to with alarming frequency ... like someone suffering dementia.
    If it continues to have issues, plug the TC directly to the lion computer by ethernet (if not already) and try again. Change the wireless to manual in airport utility and change the wireless name.. to force a new configuration. Once setup you can just use wireless.
    In the end you may need to reset the TC.. just hold in the reset button for about 10sec. It should then become available.. a reset does not do anything to data on the hard drive but you might need to restore any passwords.

    Many plugin vendors haven't updated their plugins to work with x64, or you have to download a special x64 version (Flash and Java for example). Which plugins is it that you are having problems with?

    I can't find iMovie on my mac any where though it says on the app store it is installed I can not find it to open and use, someone help ?!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Open a Finder window, select Applications in the sidebar and look for iMovie. Make sure there are no external disks connected, and if so, disconnect them, open the App Store and install iMovie.
    You can also use Spotlight to look for iMovie, so press Command and Space keys and type iMovie

  • HT201317 just backed up my iphone to the icloud and updated my software.  I clicked on "delete once downloaded" but now can not find the pictures -- 470 of them.  How can I access them?

    You can import your camera roll to your computer using your usb cable as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
    If you're upgrading your phone, I would recommend that you backup your old phone to your computer using iTunes.  Restoring an iTunes backup to your new phone will be much faster than restoring an iCloud backup, and possibly more reliable too.
    To back it up to iTunes, connect it to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, then go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now.  The go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
    When setting up your new phone, when given the option, choose Restore from iTunes Backup and restore this backup to your new phone.  It will include your camera roll and other data; restoring the backup will will also sync your apps and other iTunes media from your iTunes library to your new phone.

  • My mac can not find any wireless networks, my mac can not find any wireless networks

    As of a couple weeks ago my can not find wireless networks even though they exist.  I try to refresh the scan with no luck.

    Is your router plugged in?  Do you have internet?
    Come on...
    I have the same issue.  Yesterday I could connect to my wifi just fine, but today I turned on my wifi and the wheel just spins and spins.  I restart my phone and I get the "greyed out" wifi switch. So I restart, and I'm back to square one.  The wheel just keeps spinning.
    I've updated the router firmware, I've power cycled everything multiple times, and still nothing.
    Can anyone give a real solution? Or do we just have to suffer until apple update this **** IOS6?

  • Where can I find the manual for my Mac OS?

    ver. 10.7.3: 2.4 GHz core 2 Duo with 4 GB of DRAM.
    I have three questions:
    1. Where can I find the manual for my machine i.e. hardware manual and or consumer/connaisseur manual?
    2. Does it have a zip media drive? I'm looking at the left side of the machine and I see small square shaped slot for a disk of this sort. I know this is a common type of media storage for cameras and would like to confirm that it is zip.
    3. And while i'm at it, could you remind me of the uses of the two ports advancing towards the back of the computer next to the USB inputs.
    PS: I'm also interested in any technical information concerning Apple hardware and if you could direct me to the appropriate forums I would appreciate it.
    Thank you in advance.
    Sincerely
    Shawn

    I will dubb the theme of this thread: the mass storage data problem and by problem I mean how can we store data in the most cost-efficient and efficacious manor possible if we can classify data storage strategies into two groups respectively: 1) the individual stragegy and 2) the corporate stragegy. The individual, we will say, is rational and seeks to store as much data as possible in the megabyte range, the gigabyte range and the terabyte range. How will he or the corporation, of conglomerate, large, mid-size or start-up size i.e. 2 - 200 people procede. Please feel free to enhance the dialog of this post in the framework of the corporate schema vs. individual and change the estimations, exp: 2 -200, to fit a realistic scenario of what i'm trying to evoke here.
    I'll start of with
    MB range = 4 GB Lexar standard USB bought at Dwain Reed (note: this is just a starting point to provoke dialog and don't intend this as a suggestion)
    GB range = the portable hard drive at the suggestion of Michael Black of NC
    TB range = tape media, at my suggestion that older devices could be used to read the data where an external hard-drive could be used as an intermediary component to transfer data to newer devices, say the portable hard-drive of Mr. Black and an internal-hard drive which is standard in an older machine. We will say that the labor/work required to remove either is irrelevant as our time is assumed to be worthless within reasonable bounds.

  • My Mac can access internet through my time capsule but can't find TC so I can set up time machine

    I have an iMac and a MacBook. 
    I can access the internet with both Macs using my time capsule.
    I can access the Time Capsule with my iMac and use it with Time Machine for backups.
    I can't use my Time Capsule for Time Machine backup since my MacBook can't identify Time Capsule as a drive for this purpose.
    Any suggestions on what I should do to have my MacBook recognize my Time Capsule for Time Machine use?
    thanks

    So the TC does not show up as an available drive at all in the MBP.. what weird things happen??
    Use finder, go, go to server, and use AFP://ipoftimecapsule.  (that being the IP address of the Time Capsule)
    In router mode and at default it is 10.0.1.1 but check.
    If it doesn't work tell us the IP of the TC .. and how it is setup, router or bridge.
    IP of the mac that works, and IP of the MBP that doesn't work.
    I am assuming you have done the more basic stuff.
    Pondini might help you.
