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.

    I bought my wife a new Ipad 3. How do I transfer her data from the old Ipad 1 to the new one?

    Sync the old one, and get a full back up stored.  Make sure you transfer your purchases to I tunes, and make sure you upload any photos taken on the pad, or imported thru the cck.
    Then plug the new pad in, and set it up from the backup of the old one.  In theory, all the stuff that was in the back up will migrate to the new pad.  If apps, music or books get lost, you can redownload them for free, using the same appLe id.  
    If you are selling or gifting the old one,   When you are done and happy with the new set up,  go to setting, general, reset, reset all content and data.  This will place the pad in factory new condition.   Lastly, if it is a 3 g pad, especially if it a Verizon pad, make sure to cancel the plan

  • How can I migrate iPhoto library from an old MacBook Pro to a new one?

    When the hard drive on my MacBook Pro 13 needed to be wiped clean, I restored all my files from Time Machine except for my iPhoto files. Not sure why my iPhoto library wasn't restored, but it wasn't, and I can't find it on my Time Capsule. I want to move my partial iPhoto library from my old MacBook Pro to my new one. I understand this is possible by linking them in some way. What is that way?

    There are three ways; using File Sharing over a network, transferring them via an external drive, or using FireWire Target Disk mode. If you use file sharing, use the AFP protocol. If you use an external drive, it or a partition or disk image on it needs to be formatted as Mac OS Extended.

  • How do I transfer applications & data from my old hard-drive to my new one?

    My old hard drive started to crash, it was on it's way out and making funny noises. I have brought a new hard drive and connected it to the same leeds as the old one. I have put the opperating system on to the new hard drive and it is all up and running..... but.
    I want to transfer all my old applications like garage sale and limewire without having to pay for them again and transfer all my music and photos from the old hard drive to the new.
    So:
    1: How do i get the old hard drive out of the position it's in it seems glued in and i can't see any screws?
    2: How do i connect both hard drives and transfer everything from the old to the new? Do i need to buy another set of leeds or should they be in the computer
    Your help would be most appreciated.....

    Hi
    You should be able to have both drives installed at the same time in the rear U shaped bracket. One needs to be mounted in the bottom of the bracket, have it's jumpers set to master and be connected to the end connector of the ribbon cable. The other needs to mounted above it, have it's jumpers set to slave and be connected to the middle connector of the ribbon cable. The computer should have the leads to do this, i.e. one ribbon cable with two connectors and two molex power connectors. With both drives installed, you can then drag your music and photos etc from the old to the new. You could try dragging the applications, although if they install additional files elsewhere they'll need to be reinstalled from the original CDs or DVDs.
    The old drive may be screwed into the U shaped bracket from below. There should be a single screw which secures the bracket to the chassis at the front, although it may be hidden under the ribbon cable. If you unplug the ribbon cable and undo the single screw you can remove the bracket still containing the old drive, by sliding it forwards and lifting it up at the front. The screws securing the drive to the bracket can then be undone from beneath.

  • How can I transfer specific date from my old hard drive to a new one?

    I'm planning on buying the OWC Data Doubler and installing an additional drive [240GB OWC SSD].  I want to transfer everything except my iTunes library to the SSD so that it will run faster.  I can't transfer the iTunes library because it's too big.  How can I transfer just the data I want [OS, Documents, etc.] but leave the iTunes library on the drive.  I do have an external drive/time machine backup available.

  • How do I transfer my info from my old Mac Mini to my new one?

    I have two Mac Mini's.  The old one is a Power Mac 10.5.8 (no Intel) and the new one is a dual system running Snow Leopard 10.6.7.  I only have one monitor and a wireless connection.  How do I transfer my older files and applications from my old Mac to the new one?  I bought a 40/80 Firewire cable and connected it to the proper ports, and changed the monitor setting to shared...held down the T and restarted the old Mac...still nothing.  (These were tips I got from forums.)  Anyone have other ideas? 
    Baring that, I also tried to save my files to a dvd and put them in a burn folder, clicked burn, but it wouldn't burn.  I never used it before...am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks,
    Anna

    Perhaps the Version of the Apps on your Old Device are not compatible with your New Devices' iOS.

  • How do I merge the backup from my old iPhone 4 with my new iPhone 5?

    I recently upgraded my iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5. I had been backing up the 4 to a macbook that was running OS 10.5.x and the 5 was not compatible so I started a backup of the 4 onto iCloud. I now have a backup of the 4 and a backup of the 5. Is there a way to combine the two so that I retain the old contact info and not lose any new info?

    I am afraid not. When you restore from a backup, all of that data is placed on your phone, overriding any data previously on the phone.

  • How do I transfer CS5.5 from an old macbook pro to a new one via firewire?

    My old MacBook Pro fried its graphics card and I need to transfer all of my data across to my new macBook Pro. I have everything backed up on a hard drive but when I try to open it it says that i can't because t is on a Time Machine Back-up. How do I get it to open? Do i need to get a new serial number? Not sure what to do from here.

    You need to reinstall on your new MacBook Pro from your original media (if you purchased a DVD), or from the backup you made of the installation files.
    You cannot successfully migrate CS5.5 using FireWire. That would not be successful. You can use the same serial number you had before. However, if you used all your two activations, you may have to Adobe to remove its listing of your old Mac so you don't lose one activation.

  • How do I transfer my data from my old LOST BlackBerry to my new one?

    Hi everyone,
    I hope someone could help me out...
    I recently lost my blackberry pearl 8100 after car accident
    ( & thankfully I backed up my data the week before);
    anyways now I wanted to know how I can transfer my data to my new blackberry curve? (without my old blackberry pearl...)
    I keep reading about the switch wizard option; but since I don't have my old blackberry anymore (just my backed up data)... What can I do now?
    can someone help me?
    please and thanks

    As posted before, if your data is in a PIM (e.g., Outlook) on your PC, then you can synch with that. Otherwise, you must use that backup file you created earlier. Here's a procedure:

  • How can i change my appleid from an old email address to my new one

    trying to update apps on my iphone, but my old appleid keys showing up. how do i get this appleid synced to my iphone?

    If these apps were obtained with your old ID, you'll have to use that ID to update them. All apps are forever tied to the ID used to obtain them, & can only be updated using that ID.

  • How do I transfer my contacts from my old Powerbook G4 to my new Macbook Pro?

    how do I transfer my contacts from my old Powerbook G4 to my new one Macbook Pro?
    new Macbook Pro is operating on OSX 10.8.2
    When I save it as an export then try to open it on the new computer it wants me to delete all my current contacts before it will import.
    What happened to MERGING?

    On the PowerBook G4, open Address Book and choose File > Back up Address Book...
    Save it to your Desktop or directly to the MBP if it is already connected. Otherwise copy the Address Book backup file to the MacBook Pro. Email is also an option.
    On the MacBook Pro, open (double-click) the Address Book Backup (abbu) file:
    Contacts will launch and display the following:
    Click Replace All which will do what it says.

  • 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 can I use the Time Machine Backups from my Old Computer?

    I have two months of Time Machine backups made using my old Macintosh computer which died and I no longer have. I have now purchased a new computer and am trying to use the Time Machine back ups from the original computer, but it will not recognise them. How can I get my new MacBook Pro to use the Time Machine Backups from my old Computer? I phoned the Apple help line and they said I cannot use them and would have to delete them. This sounds crazy if you can only use the Time Machine back up file with one computer and have to delete it when you buy a new Mac. Surely there must be some way to transfer ownership (not files) from an old to the new Mac?
    Thanks
    Richard

    Thanks Kevin for the suggestion posted on MacOSXHints how to "Repair Time Machine after logic board changes".
    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080128003716101
    It seems as though I am not alone with my frustration with the way Time Machine uses the MAC address of a computer to tell one system from another. This means that if you have your Mac repaired with a new logic board, or replace your system with a new one, you can't resume backups where you left off. Reading through the readers who used the fix using Terminal, it appears that the fix does not always work. I contacted Apple again, but they were no help. Surely Apple should come out with a solution as more and more people use Time Machine/Time Capsule.
    It is CRAZY that after a change computers or a switch in the computer logic board that you cannot resume your Time Machine back ups.
