How to transfer backup file from old to new time capsule?

I'm having trouble copying the backup from my old to new time capsule. I tried using this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5097?viewlocale=en_US

You need to point out at which point you are failing.
You do need the two TC plugged into each other by ethernet.. do not even dream of doing this over wireless. So a computer is plugged into the primary TC as well.. the secondary TC is in bridge mode.. you then simply copy and paste the sparsebundle from one TC to the next.
IMHO this is not a good idea.. you are much better starting a new set of TM backups on the new TC.. keep the old TC for a few weeks to make sure there is nothing you need to recover then wipe it.
There are also instructions in pondini if you insist on doing it.

How can i store files from a PC on Time Capsule

Actually although the format on the TC is not NTFS but Mac HFS+, that is irrelevant as far as windows is concerned. The TC offers SMB protocol to the network.. so how the TC stores the files is totally irrelevant.
1. TC is by nature not particularly SMB happy..
Change all names, TC and wireless to SMB compatible. Short, no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
Turn on the guest account to read write access.. assuming you don't have security issues.
Set the workgroup correctly.. don't use wins server.. no body does nowadays.
Note short no space names.. guest access and workgroup all set.
2. Download and install airport utility for windows or just bonjour for windows.. bonjour should be included with the full uitlity but that is not necessary.
3. Just doing the above when bonjour loads it should bring up TC as accessible.. if not, or you need to access it manually.. open windows explorer and type in the address bar.
\\TCName or \\TCIPaddress .. obviously replacing the generic name with the actual one used. In my case. as per the above screen shot. \\TCGen3
You will then see the main root directory of the TC.. data or whatever it is named..
Create a new directory under the root directory for your windows files.. and copy them there.
Note .. some issues can arise if you are using the TC for TM backups.. Please keep a large enough amount of free space available that TM still works.. pondini recommends using disk images.
http://pondini.org/TM/TCQ3.html
As long as you still have plenty of free space this is not an issue but TM may have issues when it fills the drive as it is designed to do.

How to transfer windows files from old macbookpro under bootcamp to new notebook

Hi all,
I'm currently using both Mac OS and Windows XP on my macbookpro, and I'm buying a new one. I know how to transfer everything on the Mac OS, but how do I do so for the Windows part. Please advise.
Thanks in advance!

Drag and drop copy the iTunes folder to a external hard drive on Windows, then take it to the Mac and use iTunes there to import it.
If you want to read/write the external drive between Mac's and PC's, right click on the drive and format it exFAT or FAT in Windows, not NTFS.
Some Mac's can read NTFS, but not write to that format as it's proprietary.
When you format the drive, all data will be erased on it, so make sure before you do so.

Transferred backup file from old to new laptop but can't open backup file in new iTunes

Hi
I've purchased the new iPhone 5, however, it won't allow me to backup from my iTunes from my old laptop (where my 4S's backup was) because iTunes 10.7 can't operate on OSX 10.5.8. So I transferred the backup file onto my new macbook air. When I plugged my new phone into the laptop and opened up iTunes, where can I find the option to set up my phone according to the backup that I transferred to the new macbook?
Thanks!

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.

How to transfer my files from PBG3 to new PBG4

I just got my new PBG4 and need to set up.
To transfer my files or info from old PBG3, do I need buy a FireWire cable(6-pin)? Where can I buy?
Then, the Setup Assistant can do it? This Setup Assistant is easier or better for this procedure than Migration Assistant?
Thanks in advance for some suggestions!

Thanks, joeuu. Your answer pointed out what I need to check and know.
First, I think my old PBG3 has its capabilities. Its model is M7712LL/A and I think it is G3 Pismo. 500mhz, 20gb hd, and it has 2 firewire ports. The manual says firewire 2.3.3? and needs 6-pin connector.
And, I need to check the firmware is up-to-date. This old PBG3's current OS is 10.3 panther and use classic(OS 9.2.2?) together. By the way, I check the link joeuu suggested. One of the FAQs says can't not open or install? from OS X to up-to-date on my PBG3. I need to check this again. I am a bit confused...
I also read the other link and think it is good one. I need to read more carefully the link. By the way, what do you use to transfer files when you first set up computer like PBG4? Because manual transfer seems taking more time but it seems to me to have some more control over what I am doing...

How to transfer photostream folders from old to new PC

I just got a new PC and have set up the iCloud control panel. My photostream photos are currently being synced between my old PC, iphone, and ipad. The previously synced photos are stored in the "My Photo Stream" folder on my old PC. I would like to transfer them to my new PC -- what is the best way to do that? Can I simply copy the folder from the old to new PC using an external drive? In that case, will they still be synced between all of my devices?
Thanks very much!

Martin,
I would recommend starting over this time using Setup Assistant. Because you are migrating from a PPC machine I would migrate everything EXCEPT applications. You should manually install your apps, this will give you the opportunity to udate the ones that need it and I'm sure there are many. You may even apps that won't run on Intel based machines so why migrate them at all? You can use the Setup Assistant tips beginning at "Second chance...." You can either restore from your old machine or from one of it's backups. I think you'll see it's a pretty clean process, something you passed over (I'm not sure why) when you turned on the new iMac for the first time.

Transferring Time Machine backup from old to new Time Capsule

After transferring my old Time Machine backup from a 5 year old Time Capsule to a new Airport Time Capsule, my MacBook Air wants to start a new full Time Machine backup to the new TC. I was under the impression that the Time Machine backups would pick up where they left off. Was I mistaken? Is the backup supposed to begin anew even if you've transferred an old backup?
Also, if it must begin from scratch, how would I access the old TM backups if I needed to restore a file from the old backup?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

How far did you go? By that I mean did you allow the MBA to actually start the backup.
It can be very simple thing.. I have done it lots of times in my repairs to Time Capsules.. if I move a sparsebundle to another location, TM will not even check for the old sparsebundle until it start running.
So the operation is as follows..
Move the sparsebundle.
There is an Apple document as well as what Pondini produced.
Transfer TM backups..
Apple doco. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5097
Pondini doco http://pondini.org/TM/18.html
As long as you are talking network backups it doesn't much matter. The same rules apply to moving the sparsebundle.
When you reset TM to the new location of the backup.. it will always tell you it will begin a new backup..
As long as you did not change the computer name.. or install a new OS or upgrade.. only when the backup actually starts will it look for existing sparsebundles.. find it.. and begin from where it left off.
So you simply have to start. Wait for TM to figure out there is an existing sparsebundle with the correct name.. and start what will often be a deep scan of the existing sparsebundle. So it can take a long time.. and we do still recommend doing this first one by ethernet.. albeit on an Air that does mean buying the thunderbolt to ethernet dongle.
As a general principle I generally recommend people do start a new backup. Archive the old one.. it is easy to access old backups.. Again see pondini FAQ.. 14-17 on all the neato things you can do.

How to delete backup files from old backup drive?

Hi,
I recently changed the backup drive used by Time Machine, from /Volumes/vast4 to /Volumes/vast2 (for example). Time machine now happily backs up to vast2 and shows available backups going back to the date of the change from one drive to the other. I no longer need the old backups on /Volumes/vast4, and I do need the 2GB of space they occupy. These old backups are not visible in Time Machine - it sees only backups on the new backup volume. Completely manual deletion of /Volumes/vast4/Backups.backupdb, with rm -r in a terminal, gives "Permission denied" even when I have admin privleges. Is there a way to do this deletion from within Time Machine, or at the command line? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason

First try to use Disk Utility to repair that disk permissions. Then you can also get info on that folder and take a look at what sharing and permissions are set there. If you don't see your name there (your user name, not the admin) then add it by clicking on the plus sign. Set the permissions to Read & Write. Now try to delete the folder.

How to transfer elements 12 from old to new computer

how can i transfer my elements 12 from my old computer to my new computer

stevengibson
To give a safe answer, best to know what was the old computer operating system, what is the new one, and did you purchase an online download to the old computer from Adobe or did you install to the old computer via an installation disc from boxed packaging of the product.
The generalized answer is you deactivate Premiere Elements 12 on the old computer (Help Menu/Sign Out). It is up to you after that if you want to uninstall the deactivated program from the old computer. Deactivation is not the same as uninstall.
Then assuming no little technical complications of details, you install Premiere Elements 12 on the new computer using
a. Installation files that you saved to your computer or that you have download from "My Orders" at Adobe
or
b. Installation disc from boxed packaging.
Please fill in more details so we do not fall into any unexpected technicalities.
Thanks.

How to transfer iMessage content from old to new computer?

Just bought a new laptop and was manually transfering files. I wanted to know if you guys have any way of bringing the iMessage content from my old Macbook Pro to my new one, so that when I open iMessage on my new laptop, all my old convo's will be there.
I have accessed the hidden iMessage folder on my old computer and tried transfering that, but it didn't really work.
Any thoughts?

Hi,
In Mountain Lion the Folder to start with is ~/Library/Messages (NOT iMessages)
This holds the Archive folder for all saved Chats (iMessages and Buddy list chats)
It also has several chat.db items.
The database items can be "transferred" to the the new Mac in the same Folder.
You are likely to have to change Ownership and Permissions on each. (this applies even if you are "Peter Kassel" on both computers as one computer can tell the file "belongs" somewhere else).
The Archive folder needs to end up in ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.ichat/Data/Library/Messages
You will need to replace the Archive folder already there and change Ownership and Permissions again AND then apply those changes to the contents.
Open a Finder window
Use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
Select the Library from the Menu.
Navigate to ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.ichat/Data/Library/Messages
Move the Archive folder into the Messages folder.
Now Right Click the Archive Folder and choose the "Get Info " option
In the Info Panel that shows up scroll to the bottom.
Add the Shortname for your Mac User Account on this computer.
Give it Read and Write permissions.
Use the cogwheel icon below the list and then make your self the owner.
In this pic I already Own the file/folder.
As you can see I have had to unlock the padlock as well.
Once you are the Owner use the "Apply to enclosed items"
This will then change the ownership of all the Saved chats to your User account on this Mac.
Repeat for the ~/Library/Messages contents (the databases) one by one.
You will not have to do the contents change on this.

How to transfer icloud data from old computer to new computer

how to transfer icloud data from old computer to new computer

The iCloud data will be on the new computer as soon as you download the iCloud control panel and sign into iCloud with your iCloud ID. What you see in iCloud is stored in iCloud, so it really doesn't matter what computer you are on. Once that computer is signed onto iCloud and the iCloud options are selected, you have full access to all of that information, and much of it is pushed back to your computer.
If you are referring to the data in an iCloud backup created by an iOS device, then that is not something that would be on a computer at all.
Does that answer your question? If not, post back with more info about what you are looking to find out.
