Help!! My Macbook crashed and I can remember my time capsule password.

I have a 2007 macbook. Today when I went to use not it was turned off. When turned on it loaded a language page. After selecting English it loaded Mac OS X utilities that gives 4 options: restore from time capsule, Reinstall Mac OS X, get help online, ad disk utility. I tried tore store from time capsule, but I cannot remembrr my password. What should I do! Can I reset password with out access to my computer or can I reinstall OS x then reset time capsule password and restore from Time capsule. I don't want to lose everything on my computer.

You can't open your site in iWeb unless you have a backup copy of the domain file.

If its any consolation, I had two crashes before I invested in 2 external firewire drives which have a complete bootable backup of everything on my Mac plus a third drive with Time Machine.

Setup problem and now can't see time capsule

On Friday, I used Airport utility to set up Time Capsule. There was a choice saying "do you want to add on to or replace and existing router?", to which I said yes. at the end of the setup, Airport asked "Do you want to replace the existing router now?" and I said no because I don't want to replace it yet. That seemed to confuse Time Capsule.
On Monday, I disconnected the existing router and I tried to hook Time Capsule up to the DSL modem. Time Capsule didn't recognize the internet and my computer wouldn't recognize TC. Time Capsule is now not connected to anything (I reinstalled the old router and it is working fine). My computer can't see it an neither can Airport Utility. I tried to rescan but nothing comes up. Does anyone know what is wrong and how I fix it?

The only way to tell is remove the drive and test it.
I would do a reset of the TC first. Just hold in the reset button for about 7sec and wait for it to reboot. A reset will not do anything to your files. Then try again to access. If no luck the drive is probably dead. Either replace the whole TC under warranty.. or if you have no warranty left/drive contains valuable info, open up the TC.. plenty of sites explain how to upgrade to a bigger drive. just follow them. Put the drive into a USB carrier and plug it in or even better use it directly on sata port.

How do I backup my MacBook Pro and Mac Mini to 1TB Time Capsule

I cannot backup my MacBook Pro (osx 10.8.2) on Time Capsule using Time Machine. The following Time Machine error message appears: The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data-1/BARBARA’s MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” is already in use. There is no problem when I use Time Machine to backup Mac Mini (osx 10.6) on same 1TB Time Capsule.

See > http://pondini.org/TM/C12.html Do it on the Mac that shows that error message

My Macbook crashed and I can't figure out....

I had iWeb and a whole website all done. Domain name and all... just a perfect personal site.
My Macbook crashed.
I got a new hard drive installed and am going thru re-installing and re-setting things to my liking... and when I open iWeb and put in my .Mac id and password, it asks me to "create a new site?!"... how do I access the old one? It's still all there... when I type in my domain name to a browser, I see my site and all that was in it... and when I check the .Mac site, it's all there.
How do I get to it from the laptop - the re-freshed one?

Help, my lappy crashed and I can't sync my iPhone and iTunes

Hi,
Recently my laptop crashed and I had to reformat it. Now when I plug in my iPhone, I think I am going to lose all my mp3s in the iPhone. I don't want to lose the music because I hadn't got the chance to back up the music on my iTunes before it crashed.
Therefore, the music are all inside my iPhone now. How do I re-copy it back into my laptop from my iPhone?
I noticed it is the same for my ringtone, wallpaper and applications as well. I tried to back-up the phone but I dont see the music in my iTunes after I done the back up.
Also, iTunes recognize that this laptop is still authorized.

If you didn't have a backup of your iTunes library, despite all of iTunes warnings that you should back up, you are out of luck for all content that was not purchased from the iTunes store. For purchased content you can use iTunes to recover it from the iPhone. Disable automatic syncing in iTunes, then connect the phone. On the File menu choose "Transfer purchases from <your iPhone's name">. There may be other ways to recover the remaining tracks using unofficial applications. Google is your friend.

New MacBook Air backed up from my Time Capsule. Now Mail and Safari won't open, I just bought a new MacBook Air and backed up from my Time Capsule. Now Mail and Safari won't open

I just bought a new MacBook Air after my old one suffered a drink being spilled on it and died. I used migration assistant to back up from my time capsule but now it won't open Mail or Safari and iTunes can't find all my music. Any ideas how to fix this? I have downloaded software updates.

Thanks for that advice however now I have a duplicate of all my documents on my hard drive but the Mail and Safari will not open. I have been able to open iTunes. I have tried to download software updates for Mail and Safari and this tells me that the download was unsuccessful ( after taking some time to download). Can I reinstall the system? Would that help?

When I open my Airport Utility I don't always see the airport come up, even though Timeport is backing up AND I can see the time capsule in Finder.

Version 5.5.2 (552.11). Updates tells me this is the up to date version, however I keep seeing a window asking me to update to 5.5.3. I try this and normally receive 'software is up to date'. Today something downloaded but I cannot remember what.
Also, when opening up Airport Utility I don't always get to find the airport extreme. Sometimes I do. Every time I try I am also able to carry out a backup using timemachine and can also see the drive on Finder.
In addition,
I have a 1TB drive hooked up to the USB port. I cannot see it in finder even though I seem to be able to see Time Machine Backups under 'Devices',
I cannot find a way to access the 1TB drive. I have hooked it to a local USB on my Macbook Pro and it works fine.

Just bought my Time Capsule today and had the same issue, or actually I did see it at first then allowed some software updates but after I restarted my computer, Airport Utility no longer recognized it. Solution: I had to reset my TC to factory settings by pushing the end of a pin into the Reset button (tiny hole in the back of your TC) and holding a few seconds until the amber light starts flashing rapidly. After that try the Airport Utility again and this worked for me. Good luck!

Can't remember my Time Capsule (Time Machine) password

Hi Everyone,
I have a first generation time capsule. I also back up my Macbook Pro. I recently backed up my Macbook pro since I want to buy a NEW Macbook Pro.
Now that I have my NEW macbook pro, I can't MIGRATE my data and info since I can't remember my Time Capsule password. It just automatically backs up my old Macbook pro.
Help! I want the new macbook pro to be exactly like this old one I have.
I have Yosemite and updated.
Appreciate all the help!
Thanks!
Regards,
glnikolai

Hi glnikolai,
If you still have your old MacBook Pro available, you should be able to migrate your data directly from that machine to your new MacBook Pro, as outlined below:
Move your data to a new Mac - Apple Support

Airport Utility for iOS exposes Time Capsule passwords, and KEEPS them exposed!

The new iOS version of Airport Utility is nice, but there is one troubling issue.
The first time you attempt to gain information on a given network it requires you to enter the Time Capsule's password. Once you have done this, you can drill down and it will show the devices various passwords in plain text -- the network, guest network, and the base station's passwords.
While it could be helpful to be able to recover the passwords stored in the Time Capsule device, the problem is that once I have entered the Time Capsule's password into iOS's Airport Utility, it seem to remember it forever. That means that someone could later run the Airport Utility on my iPad and view the Time Capsule's passwords. That's a major security issue in my book.
So, I think, if I delete the Airport Utility from the iPad and re-download it, it should have deleted all its data and no longer remember the Time Capsule's password, and so should not be able to expose the device's internal passwords. But no -- I re-install the iOS Airport Utility and when it accesses the original network, it no longer asks for the Time Capsule's password and will still expose the devices passwords.
Questions:
1) Where is it storing the Time Capsule device's password?
2) How do I remove that password from iOS so the security hole goes away?

Yes, clearly a problem. I'm in a situation where I have restricted access to my kids to certain hours. They're not idiots and have found the way to re-enable access via the iMac in the house in the past. Since this discovering, I have place password security on the AEBS. What appeared to be the solution until the iOS version now exposes the passwords. Fortunately they haven't bothered to identify this app on our iPad and/or haven't bothered to drill down into the details to see the 'show passwords' feature. Simply put, whenever this app starts, enforce credentials for the AEBS like they do on the iMac.

My itunes crashes and I can't open it all. HELP

My itunes crashes and I can't open it all. Just installed the latest version 10.5.1. I can't even get it to open to try and figure out what is wrong. Can I uninstall it and reinstall the less recent version which was working? Help!!
I am not a computer guru, the reason that I love my MacBook Pro is that I don't have to worry about it, now I am worrying, because I can't get into my itunes at all. I would trash the new version of itunes and find an older version (I did try reinstalling 10.5.1) as long as I was reassured that I wouldn't lose all my music.
Thanks all.

Sorry to hear.
Wow, first iPad crisis with vs 5 & 501, now this?
I see the update waiting right now for my MBP, and is why I'm here to see what's up.
On the software update panel, it's all about cloud service.
Looks like 10.5 is the end of the road for me.
I can see having gaming on cloud, but with the work I put into my tunes, no way.
We'll see how people react as time goes, and the next crisis.

Hi, we just bought a Macbook air and we can't find the 'reminders' app in the applications or through the spotlight search. Is there a link to download the app? I can't find it online or through the app store. Please help!

Reminders is automatically installed with 10.8 or above. A new Mac should have 10.9; it's possible that, with a third-party vendor, you have an earlier OS. Check under the Apple menu in the top left and click About This Mac. That will tell you what version of OS X you have.

My macbook crashed and I am trying to install my adobe programs again but I can't because he is used earlier by myself. How can I fix this without buying a whole new packet?

My macbook crashed, and i want to sync my phone with my new macbook

My Macbook crashed, and with it I lost my entire music library; at least the part that wasn't synced to my iPhone 4S. I purchased a new macbook and would love to transfer the songs FROM my iphone TO my macbook, but I keep getting this message - which I am fearful will erase the precious few songs I did save on the iPhone:
Are you sure you want to remove existing music, movies, TV shows, books, and tones from this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?
Can somebody please advise? Thank you.

Hi evanlovett,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that you no longer have the computer that had your iTunes Library stored on it and you want to move what music you still have on your iPhone to your new computer. If the music was purchased from iTunes you can get this music back to your iTunes Library two different ways. You can either transfer purchases from the iPhone to the iTunes Library, or you can just download the music again from the Purchased section of iTunes. I will post the information on both ways to recover your purchased music below. If the music on your iPhone came from a CD or another source (not purchased from iTunes) there would be no way to transfer it to your iTunes Library.
