How do I transfer info from my old time capsule to a new one

How do I transfer all data from my old time capsule to a new? (latest model)

Are you talking about TM backups??
I would consider carefully if it is not better to start over.. TM becomes more problematic as the backups increase in age.. you can archive off the backups from the old TC if you need to store them.
Transfer TM backups..

For data .. copy and paste.. but make sure you turn off wireless and use ethernet as it must copy files via the computer.. by wireless this is dead slow.

  • How do I transfer back up data from my old time capsule to my new one easily.

    How do I transfer back up data from my old time capsule to my new one easily.

    Before you do this, do you really need all of the old backups that go back many weeks and months?  Most us only ever need to go back a week or two to pick up a file that was accidentally deleted, but that's about it.
    Sure, It is tough to think about deleting all the old backups, so a suggestion would be to keep the old Time Capsule around for a month or two....just in case....but start new backups on the new Time Capsule.  Once you have a month or two of backup history on the new Time Capsule, then you might decide to erase the old Time Capsule and sell it....or just keep it around as a spare hard drive.
    I've tranferred backups a few times in the past, and used up a lot of space on the "new" Time Capsule to do it, and have found that it is far more trouble than it is worth.
    But, you may disagree.

  • How do I transfer music from an old ipod shuffle to a new one?

    How do I transfer music from my old not working ipod shuffle to a new one?

    If the music on this nonworking Shuffle is not in your iTunes library or in a backup somewhere, I'm afraid you are out of luck. You'll need to redownload any past purchases you had on there via iCloud. It shouldn't cost you anything.  See here for more details.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    For all other non-iTunes purchases content, you'll need to redownload/re-rip it to iTunes again from its original source such as another MP3 store or from CD.
    If the music that was on the older Shuffle is still in your iTunes library, simply configure it to sync to the new Shuffle.

  • How-to move time machine backup from an old Time Capsule to a new one?

    As written on the title, I need to move my old backup from an old 500GB to a new dual-band 2TB Time capsule, but I have not found any hint.
    I've found many suggestions how to move the backups between externa HD; from external HD to a Time Capsule; between Time Capsule and external HD.
    But nothing about my needs.
    Someone can give me an how-to or at least some hint?
    Many thanks to every one!!!

    I was able to do that by using the Finder to copy the "sparsebundle" files from the old Time Capsule to temporary storage, replacing the Time Capsule, then copying the "sparsebundle" files from the temporary storage area to the new Time Capsule. If your temporary storage is limited and you have more than one "sparsebundle" file to migrate, you can copy one at a time.
    AirPort Utility also has an "Archive" function that you could use instead of a Finder copy.
    I believe I saw recently a method of copying directly from one Time Capsule to another, although I can't find it at the moment. If that option makes sense for you, I'll look further.

  • HT4522 How do I download from an old time capsule to a new one or to my computer?

    I have a new 2T time capsule but have somehow lost all the old material I originally copied from my old time capsule. How can I go into the old capsule and re-copy all those files onto the new capsule?

    Check the disk capacity left on the new 2TB, as the files are likely there.
    Are the files TM backups? You handle those somewhat differently to regular files.
    Check Q18 here for moving TM backups.
    http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    Otherwise it is standard copying of files via finder.
    I strongly recommend using ethernet.. turn off wireless. This is going to be a bit slow because the copy has to take place via the computer.. ie all packets are copied.. old TC--Computer.. Computer--new TC. As such it can take ages if you use wireless.
    Bridge the old TC and plug it into the new one. Then you can mount the TC disk .. open a second finder window makes it easier to keep things open .. create a new directory in the new TC.. for old files .. do not just dump them under the root directory. And then copy away.

  • Transferring Time Capsule Data from an old Time Capsule to a new one?

    How do I transfer the data from my old 500GB time capsule to my new 2TB time capsule.  I just installed Lion as well.  I have the time capsules connected with the Ethernet cable.  I can see both of them in the finder.  When I open the Disk Utility I can only see the old time capsule so it is not possible to drag the new time capsule to the destination field in the restore tab.  Please help.  I would like to have my existing time machine backup on my new Time Capsule.
    Thank you in advance.
    FYI Time Machine 101 is not any help.

  • How does one transfer only 1 of 4 backups from an old TIme Capsule to a new one, such that the 1 on the old TC can be deleted to save space?

    I have a 2-TB TC that currently backs up 4 Macs, which is full - no more space to backup, down to less than a year's worth of backup for one Mac, so I don't want any more old backups deleted.
    I bought a new 3-TB Time Capsule, and wish to move only one of the the 4 backups to it, which is currently over 1 TB. The idea is to free space on the old TC for the other 3 Mac backups. Also the two TCs may end up in 2 different locations soon.
    I read about how to do this at Apple and at pondini.
    Upshot was that I copied over the one sparsebundle using Finder drag/drop from the old to the new TC.
    When I go to Time Machine preferences to Select Disk, then click the new TC, and Use Disk, I get this dialog:
    I don't want to Use Both.
    I assume that if I click Replace "Data" that the 1+ TB file that took 12 hours to copy will be lost.
    How do I get Time Machine to just resume backing up to this sparsebundle, and not create a whole new backup, deleting the file that has the past year of backups?

    I assume you selected the new Time Capsule?  If in doubt, and for future clarification, you might want to rename the Data folder on one or both TCs via Airport Utility.  Click it on the Disks panel to change the name; then that name will appear on the selection window, etc., so you'll always know which is which:
    In any event, the prompt means "Replace (the old) "Data" as the destination for this Mac's backups."  It will not touch either the new or old sparsebundle -- future backups will just be directed to the selected location(s).  Do note, however, that when you change destinations, the TM Prefs window will show "None" for oldest and latest backups.  Don't be alarmed -- that's just TM being lazy and not checking the actual backups yet. See #B3 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
    See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #34 for details on backing-up to multiple destinations.
    By the way, just for future reference, another option would have been to connect a USB drive to the existing TC (that's what "S.TM.Backups" is in the sample}.

  • HT1918 how do I transfer purchases from an old itunes account to a new one?

    I recently bought a new Macbook and just transfered my iTunes library from my old one by using an external hard drive.  It turns out that a lot of my music was bought through an old itunes account and I can't remember the password for that account so as to authorize my new computer.  I have since started a new account and want to know if there's a way I can move what I purchased through my old account into my current account.  Help! 

    Sorry, but you cannot transfer purchases from one iTunes Store account to another. You'll need to continue to use that old account ID for authorizations and re-downloads. If you can't remember the password, you should be able to reset it through this web page:

  • HT5312 How can I transfer money from an old iTunes account to my new one?

    I got a new iTunes account because the old one kept asking me for security questions. I don't remember them so I went to the support page and tried to reset them but it wouldn't let me click on boxes to put in my information. All I want is to get the money from my old account to my new. And I don't know what to do. Help?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
    Getting the money transferred requires using the form, and that you still have the gift card it came from, and that none of that card's balance has been spent.

  • How can I import all the backups from an old Time Capsule to a new one?

    Hi,
    My 2008 Time Capsule just crashed a week ago. Obviously it was out of warranty, and Apple just offered me a new 1TB TC for a reduced priced, and gave me the old internal disk in a plastic bag.
    I want to import the information from the old TC to my new TC. Is this possible? How can I do this?
    Thanks

    Your Apple service centre is very good.. they mostly refuse to help in any way.
    You need a USB to sata converter cable and power supply or a USB disk holder.. SATA type.. although that is pretty universal now.. they are only a few dollars from most large computer stores or ebay. Plug the usb drive into the computer and copy the contents over to the TC. using ethernet will help btw.. if you only have the air buy a USB to ethernet or Thunderbolt to ethernet (if you have the latest one).. they are available from apple at reasonable prices.
    Then  you can copy the sparsebundle across..
    http://pondini.org/TM/18.html
    BUT I have to say I don't recommend it.. I think you are better starting with a new backup and keep the old disk as an archive..

    I used the following method, which means that your contacts are permanently on your iPhone (the problem with syncing to Gmail in order to 'transfer' contacts is that you need the gmail account to be active all the time in order to see the contacts), take an example of transferring contacts from Sony to iPhone:
    1. Transfer all of your contacts to the Sony Experia's internal storage. It will create a vCard file.
    2. Connect your Sony Experia to a pc
    3. Ensure that you can see the Sony Experia's internal storage files, and identify the location of the vCard file (for me it was in system/PIM)
    4. Set up an email account on your iPhone
    5. Email the vCard file to the email account on your iPhone
    6. Open the vCard file attachment on your iPhone
    7. You should now see your contacts and automatically have the option (in the same screen) to 'Add all xxx Contacts' where xxx is the number of contacts in the vCard file
    Hope that helps.

    How can I transfer music from my old iphone 4 to the new iphone 5S without having the music on the old phone synced to my laptop (e.g. my itunes library on the laptop is empty) ?
    I tried the "Transfer Purchases" option - however this only worked for apps - not sure if I'm missing some sort of setting.
    I do not want to use iCloud as I do not have enough space for my music.
    Thanks!

    You cannot. The music must be in the iTunes library first. See these User Tips:

  • How do I transfer apps from my old phone (4) to my new phone (4s)?

    How do I transfer apps from my old phone (4) to my new iphone (4s)?

    Hi,
    If you have synced all your apps onto iTunes then when you sync head to Apps and tick the Sync all apps box.
    Failing that you can use a laborious process of going through your apps and re-downloading them for free (using same apple account) onto your new iPhone.
    Hope that helps.
    PS. You should've waited for the iPhone 5 to come out!
