How can I access my backup Data on my Time Capsule HD?!

I have 1.77 TB of Data but cannot access!?
After having problems with several programs crashing, I had do do a complete reset, on my macbookpro.
I erased everything on my macbookpro's HD and did a complete reset begininng with reloading OSX-Maverick.
I have also manually reinstalled all my apps, hoping to avoid reinstalling to problems causing the crashes.
Everything seems to be working fine now... with the exception that I can't seem to access the backup data on my Time Machine.
I have tried using the disk utility also, but after a 1 min of trying to access the disk, it stops reponding and I have to force quite Disk Utility.
I need help! The back up data is my life!;-0

Did you use TM since you upgraded to Mavericks??
That could cause damage to the TM backups.
I am really unsure how to advise you on this one.. but if you need the backups you have to take heroic measures..
I would not use Mavericks.. if the backups were done under Mountain Lion.. get an external drive for the computer and load ML on it.. then get another disk and do a full restore of the backups to a different location.
See the restore info in Pondini for help.
Q14-17 here.
Or boot with the original DVD and use TM to restore .. as per instructions here.

Use Setup Assistant .. or if all else fails use migration assistant.
It may even be worth archiving the TC before you begin so you know all the data is preserved and Mavericks is not just going to wipe it out as soon as TM starts.

  • ICloud storage space used up by old data from 1st gen iPad I traded in nearly 2 yrs ago for an iPad Mini. Can't backup any info for mini or new 6 plus. How can I access this old data to clear it out?

    My iCoud storage space is being used up by old data from a 1st  generation iPad I traded in nearly 2 yrs ago for an iPad Mini. The people at the sprint store where I made my trade were supposed to transfer everything over from my old iPad to the new Mini once they backed up the old device to iCloud. Well, long story short, none of the data ever got transferred to the new iPad, but it all got backed to iCloud, eating up all my storage space. Here I am almost 2 years later, and I've never been able to back-up my iPad mini. What's worse, My iPhone 4 wasn't backed up that whole time, and now I can't back-up my data from my new iPhone 6 Plus to iCloud either. Trying to find creative ways to store and save my information and data between all my devices is getting to be ridiculous. I don't want to upgrade my storage space though...just want to clear out a great deal of what is already being stored. How can I access this old data to clear it out?

    The only way to access data from an iCloud backup is to restore it to your device.  You could, for example, back up your iPad mini to your computer using iTunes (by connecting it, opening iTunes, then going to File>Devices>Back Up and choosing to back up apps and transfer purchases when prompted), then erase it and restore the old iPad backup (as explained here: iCloud: Restore or set up your iOS device from iCloud), save any recovered data you want to keep, then restore your iTunes backup back to your iPad mini (by connecting it to your computer, opening iTunes, then going to File>Devices>Restore from Backup).
    Once you're done with the old backup, delete it from your account to free up the space.

  • How can i view my iphone contents on PC. How can i view my backup data in itunes. How can i see my SMS and contact on PC

    Hi,
    Can anybody help me out on the follwoing questions
    how can i view my iphone contents on PC. How can i view my backup data in itunes. How can i see my SMS and contact on PC

    The data isn't actually stored in iTunes.  iTunes is like a card catalog that allows you to access information from the various places that it's stored on the computer.  SMS and contact info will be viewable in whatever program you sync contact information.  The backup actually keeps the files, but doesn't make them viewable, I'm pretty sure.  You can only see the info you've actually synced.

  • I forgot the backup encryption password in iTunes how can I get my backup data back?

    I forgot the backup encryption password in iTunes how can I get my backup data back?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

    I have just purchased an iPhone5 and created a new user instead of using my iPhone3 ID. How can I access my previous data?

    don't just sign out!
    if you simply sign out, the stuff you recently purchased will be an issue in the future when an update comes out for apps or anything else. restore the device as new from itunes then restore from a back if you have one as stated above...or set up as new and use correct apple id. this will ensure you will be using the apple id that you used originally without issues from the new one.

  • I recently purchased a brand new Airport Time Capsule 2TB. I already am using the previous generation time capsule to back up all my computers data. May I ask how can I complement the usage with my new time capsule?

    I recently purchased a brand new Airport Time Capsule 2TB. I already am using the previous generation time capsule to back up all my computers data. May I ask how can I complement the usage with my new time capsule?

    By default your new Time Capsule will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a network name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN
    Most likely your iMacs will be connected to the wireless network created by the Virgin Media router. However, both should see the Apple Network under the AirPort icon's drop-down menu as another wireless network that they can connect to. Is this not the case?

  • How can i save a folder into my airport time capsule (2TB)

    How can i save a folders into my Airport Time Capsule (TB)

    Saving data on the same disk drive that Time Machine is using for backup is not a good idea.
    By having the extraneous data on that disk drive in the Time Capsule that will made the job of cleaning up for backup that much more difficult for Time Machine and usually causing it to fail when it can't clean up properly.
    In addition any extraneous data on the disk drive being used for Time Machine can't be backed up so it can be protected from lose.

    You can, but how are you going to back up those other files?  When (not if) your Time Capsule fails, you risk losing them.  See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for details.
    Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?
    Not sure what you mean.  You have to connect a computer, either via Ethernet cable or wirelessly, to read or write to the disk. 

  • How can i connect a windwos vista laptop with time capsule. Both are still in the same network

    Hi,
    i have a running wlan network. In this network are a macbook pro, a Vista notebook and the time capsule. The Macbook runs perfectly with the time capsule, but how can I connect the vista machine with the time capsule?
    Thanks for help

    The TC is SMB (windows networking protocol) compatible.
    Is the issue wireless? Can you get internet via the TC?
    Are you trying to access the hard disk?
    Did you load the airport utility for windows..? If not please do so.. that at least is the first step. It loads bonjour for windows, and a connection agent.
    Sometimes that is all that is required.
    Open a windows explorer and type in the address bar
    \\TCname or \\TCIPaddress .. obviously replacing the generic name with actual name or IP.
    You might need to change all the names to SMB standard via the utility. Short no spaces pure alphanumeric.
    You might need to fix the permissions.. ie turn on the guest account if security isn't an issue.
    You might need to fix networking in the vista .. shudder.. notebook.. to ensure it is not blocking the TC.

  • I have a new Macbook pro and can't recall the password I used with my Time capsule - How can I (ideally) retrieve or possibly change the time capsule password?

    I have a new Macbook pro and can't recall the password I used with my Time capsule - How can I (ideally) retrieve or possibly change the time capsule password?

    Remember security on a TC is an illusion.
    Simply press the reset button for 1-2 sec.. you must not do too long .. it will then hard reset.. but soft reset will revert all passwords to default for 5min. ie TC password is now public.
    Remember this the next time because anybody at all can change your passwords.
    Once into the TC you can then open the view passwords if you wanted any weaker security. Click and open the TC.. and click on edit.. then go to the top menu..
    Voila .. all your passwords in plain sight to any Tom Dick and Fred.

  • How can I access Address Book data from an older version of the application to transfer it to a newer version of Mac OS running on a second hard drive on the same MDD G4?

    I installed a hard drive from one PowerPC Dual 1.25 GHz MDD into another one with an older version of the OS X.  all my Address Book data are on the older hard drive, from which I now boot the computer.  When I launch Address Book as an app on the hard drive with the newer version of the OS, I get an error message that says I cannot run the version of Address Book from the older hard drive on the newer OS.  How can I access the data on the older hard drive version of the Address Book app so that I can transfer it to the newer version of the app on the boot drive?  The "Import" functionality will not work. I will be grateful for any help I can get.  I would also like to uninstall the older version of OS X from the older hard drive.

    Boot from the older version of OSX, then in AB use the File>Export>Export vCard after selecting all in AB.
    Then boot from the new OSx & use the new AB to import that VCF file.
