How do you replace a time capsule with a newer one

How do you replace a time capsule with a newer one?

LOL.. pull the old one out.. put the new one in. Setup the new one.. do not copy setting from the old one.. it is better to start over and never copy configuration files.. although you might get away with it.
Plug the old TC into the new one.. change it to bridge mode.
You can then access and copy old backups to the new TC if you want. Although IMHO just keep the old TC for 6months. .then wipe it and sell it or use in different role. Do start clean fresh backups on the new TC.
If that is all useless. ask the specific question and we can try for a specific answer.

  • Best way to Replace OLD Time Capsule with a new one

    What is the best way to replace an old Time capsule with a new Time Capsule in an existing wireless network?

    IMHO..
    Start over..
    Put the new TC in place and configure .. completely differently to the old one. That means you have to go around and reset everything to connect if you use wireless.. and you should forget all the old configuration beforehand.
    You can of course try and slip it in using identical names and identical settings.. but the computers are not fooled.. the BSSID is different. And other issues tend to arise.
    Use naming that is short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    See Pondini post C9 here.
    http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    It may take more time to start with.. depending on how many devices you have.. but in the end, you can get much less problems out the other side.. which are extraordinarily hard to diagnose and fix..
    But that is IMHO.. others are welcome to dispute that and may find a full swap using old settings copied to a file and copied back to the new TC work fine.
    There are any number of posts around about doing just that.
    I will post one if I see it..
    I do confess to being a bit of a purist when it comes to this stuff.. but then I used to do computer support and trying to fix the messes people got themselves into .. inevitably they tried to cut corners.. instead of doing the setup from scratch.

  • How do I replace my AirPort Extreme Time Capsule with a new one?

    I'm having issues setting up my new time capsule. I currently have the first gen time capsule and I'm having difficulty setting up the new one. The system is not recognizing the new one. What do I need to do??

    You must use the latest utility 6.3 in the lion/mountain lion OS.. You must turn on ipv6 local link.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4597
    If you are trying to do it over wireless.. reset to factory and start over.. the new unit must be at factory settings to work with the utility.
    IMHO use ethernet.. it is far superior.. You don't have to use it once it is setup.
    But the setup will go easier with hard wired connection.

  • How do I replace my existing HD with a new one

    I have existing drive with my catalogues. I want to use my new 2T WD drive as a replacement for my existing HD which is not working well. Do I clone the original and how do I tell LR 3 to recognize the new drive?  Using Mac Lion.

  • Not very relevant, but how do I replace my old router with a new one?

    Recently I got a new router and I don't really know how to install it. When I first moved into my house, the guys from COX (my local internet service provider) had to come in, plug in the modem and router, go outside to the electrical box, flick some switches in there, and finally got my router working.
    I'm afraid that if I unplug the wires connected to my old router and plug it into my new router, I might reset everything and the COX guys have to come again and all that.
    So how do I replace the router without causing chaos?

  • How can I replace a *.default profile with a new one?

    I had several problems with a laptop being infected with malware. As a result FireFox would not open and thus I couldn't export the bookmarks before reformating the drive. Before reformatting the drive I copied the FireFox files in user/appdata/mozilla/firefox/ both the Local and Roaming subfolders to another drive. I installed FF 4 after the reformat, replaced the *.default files in the new profile with those I saved from the old installation and got the error message " . . all ready running."

    Delete the '''parent.lock''' file, if it exists in that Profile.

    How can I use my time capsule with windows7?

    This is asked regularly.

    Look at the more like this. On the right column next to the post.
    Load airport utility for windows.. which will also load bonjour for windows.
    In windows explorer type \\TCname or \\TCipaddress (replacing with the actual values.. names with spaces will give you trouble so change all names in the TC to SMB compatible or actual ip address).

  • How do I connect my time capsule with a Lynksis wi fi netwotk?

    How do I connect my time capsule with a Lynksis wi fi netwotk?

    You cannot extend or repeat a non-apple router in an apple router..
    You must plug it in via ethernet and then setup roaming network (or if you like a completely separate network.. makes no difference from the TC point of view). TC is in bridge mode. That is router bridge not wireless bridge.. I gave the info on the other thread you are running.. very confusing when you ask in multiple threads.

  • How can I see the old backups of my previous Macbook done by Time machine in a Time capsule with my new iMac?

    How can I see the old backups of my previous Macbook done by Time machine in a Time capsule with my new iMac? I've changed from a Macbook to a iMac because that one stopped working and I cannot use it anymore. I've been able to import all the data of the last backup of the Macbook when setting the new iMac, but I cannot access now to the old backups of the Macbook and there are information that wasn't in the last backup and I would like to recover. Thank you very much.

    Yes, you can ..

  • How do i move a backup from one time capsule to a new one?

    I recently purchased a 2TB Airport Time Capsule (tall style) to replace my 1TB Airport Time Capsule (flat style). I have a macbook air (that doesn't have ethernet) and am struggling to find a way to move the data from my old time capsule to my new one. I attempted to follow the instructions here How to migrate Time Machine backups from one AirPort Time Capsule to another but am not having success because of the lack of an ethernet port on my macbook air.  I find it hard to believe that Apple has not developed a better migration path for customers who have purchased new time capsules. Most of the guidance and recommendations i find state that you should "just start over" with new backups.  I find that advice to be counter to the purpose of solutions like time capsules.  Why would a customer buy backup systems just to throw away their data when they upgrade?  Help! I'm hoping there is a better way that I just haven't found.

    I have not tried this, but you might want to take a look at an Apple USB to Ethernet adapter. That should give you the Ethernet to Ethernet connection that you need.

  • How do I connet my time capsule to a new network

    Hey,
    I have a Time Capsule, which is set up to my old wifi. Now I have moved, and my Macbook works with the new wifi, but I can't connet my Time Capsule, my computer can't even find it. How do I setup my time capsule to the new wifi?
    Please help me.....

    The best way is to plug the TC by ethernet to main router in the new place. Reset it to factory.. see instructions and then it will appear in your airport utility.
    You cannot connect to two different wifi signals at the same time.. if you "join the wireless" the TC will perform poorly.
    Universal Factory Reset.. any model TC or AE.
    Unplug your TC/AE from power or turn off at the power point.
    Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on..  all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. (this is often difficult without a 2nd person or a 3rd arm).
    Release it when the status light flashes rapidly. If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have missed it and try again.
    Note..
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations of the router.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk in a TC.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.

  • HT4889 Replacing System hard drive with a new one. How to get everything over to the new boot drive?

    Replacing System hard drive with a new one. How to get everything over to the new boot drive? Should I use Carbon Copy or does apple have a better untility to do this?
    I can't get my current system drive (OSX 10.8.3) to start on the first try. I always have to shut down and restart again to finally see the Apple logo.
    Have used disc utility to repair the disc and permissions several times and that works. The next time I boot up, it works fine and I get the apple logo, but then the second time I boot up, it's back to the blank screen again and it only boots after the second try.  I have tried this repair three different times now always with the same result. Works right the first try (after the repair) then from the second time on it doesn't work. I just get the white screen until I reboot a second time.
    Thinking I should change drives but what's the easist and best way to move everything over to the new drive so it will boot correctly with all my data on it. This is the system drive for a Pro Tools 10HD setup. MacPro 3,1 with 16 gigs ram and OSX10.8.3 on it.
    Thanks for any help!

    If you have a time machine back up of your current drive you can do this
    Shut down your computer, install the new drive. While the computer is off plug in the external hard drive that you have your time machine back up on. Hold Option key while the computer turnes on, let go of the option key once you get a grey screen. Shortly after you'll see  a list of bootable drives, select the one that has your time machine back up on it and boot into that drive.
    From there go into disk utility, format your new drive too, osx extended journaled ( I think, double check that, its been awhile since ive had to do this), hit format
    Exit disk utility and then you can use time machine to copy all your exisit data to the new hhd and then your pretty much done.
    There is also a program called Carbon Cloner that will do esentially the same thing however I've never uesed it.
