How to replace my old 500GB TC with dual band 2TB TC on existing network

I bought a new 2TB Time Capsule to replace the old 500Gb. I have had a network set up long ago but the iMacs, Apple TV are on ethernet and MBP uses WiFi as well as my Android phone. I can't remember the order of dismantling the old TC and replacing with the new and keeping my network all the same as far as password etc. Bob Timmons info is awesome for adding the 500GB TC back with ethernet as extra backup space. I really need the steps to take to replace with my 2TB TC and have a smooth transition. We have photos galore on Aperture and iPhoto ergo the large drive. Thanks

I shall not be saving any backups from the old 500GB TC so I need to erase that right?
If you are absolutely sure that there is nothing on the old TC that you want saved, then by all means erasing the drive will make the space available for other things like file sharing ... as the old TC's internal drive is still available even when the TC is reconfigured as a bridge. In addition, you can share external USB HDDs attached to it as well. One option would be to dedicate this TC as your Network Attached Storage (NAS) device and use the new TC for the Time Machine backups.
Once you're sure you won't need to access any of the data on the old TC, you can erase it using the AirPort Utility. (ref: AirPort Utility > Select the old TC > Manual Setup > Disks > Erase)

I have replaced my old Mac Mini with new one. What should I do about my Time Capsule?

With the old Mac Mini (2009 model) I used Time Machine and a Time Capsule to back up everything on the Mac Mini itself and on external hard drive I added when I needed more storage space. I've replaced the old Mac Mini with a 2011 model, and migrated the contents of the old one to the new one from Time Machine.
I'm now trying to figure out what I should do to my Time Capsule and/or Time Machine to make backups going forward of the same content, now on my new Mac Mini and same external hard drive.
When I go into Time Machine, it does not seem to recognise the items on the external hard drive as ones that I can backup (or not, as there were some items there that I did not and do not wish to backup to Time Capsule) through the new Mac Mini.
I am uncertain too whether the Time Machine/Time Capsule will recognise the items of my old Mac Mini as the same ones that are now on my new Mac Mini and save changes there, or whether it will try to save all over again all the same items, as they are now on a different computer.
My inclination is to clear out the contents of the Time Capsule now and start all over again.
I have looked through information provided by Apple but not found answers to my questions.

The situation concerning the hard drive is complicated. It is not included in the list of Excluded Items.
If the drive is not "Excluded", then it must be included. That is the way that Apple's software works.
But, nor am I given the option to select it or any of the items in it for adding to the list of Excluded Items.
If you want to add an item to the list of Excluded items, click the + button at the bottom of the Excluded list, then navigate to select the drive to add it. Once the drive has been added, you can go back in and select the items.
When I go into the exclude from backup area and select the hard drive, it and the items in it appear in dimmed form, but I cannot select them.
Sorry, I do not understand what you are trying to say here.
What I want to do, but cannot, is what I did before, select one of the items in it not to be backed up and leave the rest to be backed up
I have no idea how you were able to do this. As long as I can remember, Time Machine will not allow you to pick and choose items on a drive to be backed up or excluded. Your option is to have the entire drive backed up, or the entire drive to not be backed up.
have not seen the 'Quick Erase' option.
You would use AirPort Utility to erase the Time Capsule drive. Open AirPort Utillty and click the Disks tab at the top of the screen. Then, click Erase Disk. The Quick Erase option will appear.

If I replace my old Apple ID with a new one, will I get my purchased apps?

If I replace my old Apple ID with a new Apple ID, will I get back all my purchased apps in app store?

No. The purchase history is tied to your iTunes store account.
Maybe there is a different way to achieve your objective. Why do you think you need to change your account name?

How do I convert old work done with iMovie HD 6 to view/work with iMovie 11 on my new iMac?

How do I convert old work done with iMovie HD 6 to view and work with in iMovie 11 on my new iMac?

If you still have your iMovie 6 project, you can import it using FILE/IMPORT/iMovieHD Project.
If all you have is the finished movie, you can FILE/IMPORT MOVIE.
If your movie is in DV Stream format, it is advisable to convert it to QuickTime MOV container containing DV codec. Otherwise, the import will be chronological by the date and time the clip was shot, rather than in edited order.

How can I get Wireless N 5MHZ Capabilities Dual Band up to 300MHZ on my DV7 Laptop?

How can I get Wireless N 5MHZ Capabilities Dual Band up to 300MHZ on my DV7 Laptop?
Question for 4/18 experts ...
Or specifically, how can I replace my wireless card on a DV7-6B32US and upgrade to Intel Centrino 6230?
I have a relatively new DV7-6B32US puchased on 11/2011. Still under warranty. purchased 2 of the laptops. (also own 3 hp desktops and 1 HP All in One)
Existing card is wireless N but does not support 5GHZ or dual band. It is Broadcom 4313 wifi card and I am just realizing that the Broadcom card does not do the dual band 5GHZ wireless N. I have Linksys e4200 router which supports 5GHZ and dual band speeds up to 300 Mbps.
I called tech support and with their help identified Intel Centrino 6230 as the correct upgrade, and with their help ordered 631956-001. In the Maintenance Manual for DV7 laptop, this part number was listed for Intel Centrino 6230. Turns out HP sends an Intel Wireless N 1030 card, which is no better than my existing card. I called HP and they acknowledged that some manuals use part number 631956-001 for Centrino 6230 and some use 631956-001 for INtel 1030. So HP support said they would give refund but case manager was of no help in solving the upgrade problem. Said it was unavailable but here is your money back.
So after more searching, I see others have used part number 636672-001 to order Intel Centrino 6230, specifically for HP ProBook 4530s, 4230s, 4730s. And if I use part number 636672-001 and go thru parts store at HP, I can purchase it.
But will it work??
First, will the Intel Centrino 6230 with part number 636672-001 from HP parts, work in my HP DV7-6B32US, even though the part number is NOT listed in the Maintenance and Service Guide for my specific laptop. I see postings about whitelists and changing bios, etc, and am hoping someone can provide some guidance. I have been thru 2 tech support calls and one case manager and have gotten 3 different feedback from HP, from yes it will work and ordering the part, to buy it on amazon, to it will not work and here is your money back.
Second, I see some postings about Centrino 6230 and multiple antenna's. When I replaced the Broadcom 4313 with the Intel 1030 card, I simply unattached 2 wires and reattached the wires. And it worked. I am wondering if the reason HP doesn't list the 6230 card for DV7 is that DV7 does not have the antennas required to support 6230. Does the Centrino 6230 require 3 antennas?
Thanks for any suggestions. The existing cards do work but I paid extra for the Linksys e4200 Router and just assumed a winter 2011 $700 laptop from HP would use the latest wireless n technology, otherwise I would just keep existing cards.

I have went thru the exact same problems trying to upgrade the wireless card in my DV7. It is very frustrating that the wireless card can't be upgrade to one that supports 5Ghz. Here is my post from the network forum. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Wireless-Internet-Home/Unsupported-Wireless-LAN-6230/td-p/1419595 Doesn't sound like it is possible to upgrade to the Centrino 6230 without it being added the the "white list". Sound like HP doesn't update the list after shipping the notebook. I feel your pain. HP needs to help out the consumer in upgrading the wireless cards. I see we are not the only ones that have had this problem.

I have replaced my old hard drive with a new SSD drive. Can I restore a complete Time Machine backup

I have replaced my old hard drive on a MacBook Pro midyear 2010 with a new SSD drive. I have a complete system backup of my old drive in an external hard drive using Time Machine.
Questions that I would like to get answered.
1) Can I connect my external hard drive to the macbook pro and use that to boot up my machine by pressing and holding down the Options key? Once booted up successfully, can I use Disk Utility to format the new SSD and then restore the complete time machine backup?
2) If that is not possible, can I use my old drive which I can connect using a USB adapter and use that to boot up by following the same strategy as listed in Step#1 above?
3) If neither options are possible, do I need to use a bootable USB drive for Mavericks OS X to boot up the machine,
I have Mavericks OS X ( 10.9.6) and I do not have a DVD of the OS.
Any help is appreciated.

Let me first document the steps that did not work and then I will document the steps that worked.
1) Replaced the hard drive with SSD.
2) Connected the original hard drive using a USB adapter to the MacBook to make it behave like an external device.
3) Powered on the machine and on hearing the chime pressed Command-R to start in recovery mode.
4) Chose the Disk Utility option to erase and format the SSD. The format chosen was Mac OS Extended Journaled.
5) Once the formatting was done, then clicked on the "Restore" tab in Disk Utility
6) In the Source field, dragged my original hard drive from the left pane and placed it in the field
7) On the destination field, choose the new SSD drive. Clicked on "Restore". Gave me a warning, accepted the warning and the restore was under way.
8) I had 236 GB to restore so took 3.5 hours before it was done.
9) Disconnected the external hard drive ( my original internal HDD), shut down the machine and powered on again.
10) Heard the chime and after that it was a white screen with no Apple logo.
Was visibly upset and started thinking what my next move will be. Then tried these steps
1) Again powered off the machine.
2) Connected my internal HDD once more as an external drive
3) Powered on and on hearing the chime, pressed Command-R as before
4) Once the OS X utilities screen popped up, this time chose Install OS X
5) Erased the contents of SSD once more and reformatted it using Mac OS Extended Journaled.
6) Installed OS X by following the prompts.
7) Once the OS was installed, I was presented with an option on how to transfer data to this new Mac
8) Chose the option to move the data from my original HDD.
9) Took another 3 hours to move the data.
10) Removed the original HDD once the transfer was complete, powered down the machine and started it once more.
11) Booted successfully and all my content is now accessible on the new SSD.
Moral of the story - It is the spirit that counts.

How to replace an old version of my calendar and contacts

Hello everybody,
I have a problem. I bought a new Iphone and wanted to give my old one to my mother.
With the help of Icloud I'd installed my new Iphone with all the data and apps of my old Iphone and after that I'd removed by hand my agenda and contacts from my old Iphone. Today, after switching on my old Iphone and after that also my new Iphone, I noticed that with Icloud all the contacts and calendar items of my new Iphone had been replaced by the items of my old Iphone, which means that I've lost them.
Installing my new Iphone with an old copy of Icloud did not help. Still my empty calendar and contacts are in my Iphone.
Does anybody knows how to put an old version of my calendar and contacts back on my Iphone?? Please help!!
Thanks in advance!

Yes, what is happening is that your calendars are being restored and then over written by the latest version from iCloud. You might try the following:
    1.    Ensure the device is connected to your local network.
    2.    Start the restore from iCloud back up.
    3.    Allow the devices settings to restore (watch for the confirmation of completion).
    4.    As the apps begin to restore pull the connection to your router WAN port (the one that goes to the telephone point).
    5.    Wait for the time out confirmation.
    6.    Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn off contact syncing (keep contacts when prompted).
    7.    Reconnect the router to the internet and let the restore process complete.
    8.    Delete the iCloud contacts from iCloud.com on a computer.
    9.    Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn on contact syncing (merge contacts when prompted).
You need to follow a similar path for calendars and anything else from iCloud you wish to restore.

How to replace a substring that starts with and end with another substring?

Hi,
I am trying to parse data from HTML tables. First I want to remove all useless tags like <font>. Now, how can I remove substrings like-
*<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">My_Data_to_parse</font>*
I was searching for any method which replaces a substring what starts with a substring (in this case "<font") and ends with another substring (in this case ">") . Is there any method like that? Or any better solution?
Another situation like the following-
*<td align="left" height="30" width="100%">*
In this case I want to remove all the height, align , width etc and make it as simple as "<td>". How can I do that?
Finally, all I am trying to do just to parse data from the tables in a html file. Is there any parser API or library to help me do that? Or to bring the data down to array from the tables based on table structure? Please suggest me.
Thanks in advance.

probably the best place to start is to search for the "<keyword" of all of the html keywords, then search for the location of the next ">" - this will indicate the end of the <keyword> opening tag.

How to replace a older Airport Extreme with a newer model? (OS 10.6 w/ Mac Mimi)

How do I replace a older Airport Extreme with a newer model? (Mac Mini OS 10.6.8 )

There is not much more to it than to buy a new one, and configure it using AirPort Utility.
You should be using AirPort Utility 5.6.1.
Power down your modem before removing your older Extreme and connecting the new one.

Replacing and old wireless router with a Airport Extereme

I recently purchased a Airport Extereme. I replaced my old wireless router that connected directly from my phone jack. I can not get my Airport to connect the same way. What am I missing?
Neill

Your old wireless router may have been a combination modem and router. The AirPort Extreme still needs a modem. It can be either a DSL or cable modem, but it requires one with an Ethernet port - the Extreme cannot connect directly to a landline telephone system.

How can I tell if I need a Dual-Band Wi-Fi Dongle ...

Hi
I've just placed an order for BT Infinity 1 and have been advised I will be receiving the new BT Home Hub 5.
Can someone explain if it would be advantageous for me to order a Dual-Band Wi-Fi Dongle 600 or not?
How can I check if my laptops - Dell Studio 1749 and HP ENVY dv6 - can already handle dual band connections, if that is what we are talking about here?
Any advice / help appreciated.
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

To be honest, you are unlikely to see any speed improvement by adding a wifi dongle, also the 5GHz band has very limited range.
I would wait until everything is working, before ordering any more stuff.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

Speed problems with dual band AEBS

I got the new dual band AEBS to replace a belkin b/g router I had and so far it has been a headache. When it started it had 7.4.0 I think and it had speed issues. Certain web sites would take forever to load, even on my imac that was hardwired to the router. My wife's MacBook 1.8 ghz Core Duo (802.11g) had a strong signal but the speed on the web was also really slow, almost like dial up speeds.
I upgraded to 7.4.1 and the speed on the locally attached computer got way better, but my wife's laptop still is acting really slow over wireless.
I wanted to hook up my 2 TB raid to the thing as a AirDisk, but so far I don't trust the router enough to do it. Its a bit dissapointing as I am a real Apple fan in general.
Questions -
1) should I go to 7.3.2? Is this even possible with a dual band device?
2) is it possible that her laptop is trying to get on the wrong network and going slow for that reason?

I'm having the very same problem. Although I've upgraded to the new dual-band ABS (from ABSE), I was getting slower speeds on wireless after the 7.4.1 upgrade. In fact some of the speeds occasionally approach near dial-up while the Mac wired to the ABS is getting near DSL speeds. Very annoying.
