How to wipe out the files on Time Capsule so I can sell it

The first back up was successful, but I can't get it work ever since. The yellow light is always flashing even I follow the direction to reinstall. It's too hard for me to handle compare regular external hard drive back up. I bought a 1-TB LaCie hard drive to back up my files and have no problem so I would like to know how to securely remove my files on Time Capsule so I can sell it.
Thanks,
Sabrina

Open the Airport Utility --> Manual Setup --> Disks --> "Erase". Select "7-Pass Erase". That will be sufficient.

    I have a new computer with windows 8.1.  I want to add the 52 Gb of music now on my old ipod to itunes on the computer.  I don't want to wipe out the files on the ipod by syncing to the new computer which has no music files on it yet!  How can I do this?

    Apparently I wasn't clear.  The music on my ipod is but a subset of all the music on my external hard drives.  I want to import only the songs and playlists from my existing ipod into the itunes library on my new computer, which currently has no music or playlists.  How can I do this?

    Hi
    This code gets only filename from selection screen :
    REPORT x.
    PARAMETERS p_file(100).
    DATA : gv_full_path LIKE  ibipparms-path,
           gv_full_path_string TYPE string,
           gv_filename(100),
           gv_file_ext(3).
    AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_file.
    Ask user to select file with a popup :
      CALL FUNCTION 'F4_FILENAME'
        IMPORTING
          file_name = gv_full_path.
    Get filename from path :
      gv_full_path_string = gv_full_path.
      CALL FUNCTION 'CH_SPLIT_FILENAME'
        EXPORTING
          complete_filename = gv_full_path_string
        IMPORTING
          extension         = gv_file_ext
          name              = gv_filename.
      CONCATENATE gv_filename '.' gv_file_ext INTO gv_filename.
      p_file = gv_filename.
    I hope it helps.

  • How to pull out the file in IDOC to File scenario

    Hi All,
    I have a scenario where, we are splitting an IDoc into 4 different files thru BPM.
    Those files are being sent to 3rd party file server. Now, is there any way in which i can see those files from my XI box?
    I am able to see only the xml's of those files in sxmb_moni. But, i want to see those exact files in their file formats, which are being sent to the file server.
    How can i get them?
    Many Thanks

    Hi,
    > i want to see those exact files in their file formats, which are being sent to the file server.
      Create  another Communication Channel  FTP /NFS  and get the XML file.
    As Satish mentioned  you can acheive it,
    If you want to look at the File..Create one more File Adapter under the Same Business System   temporaly  point out the File adapter instead  of IDOC Adapter  then Switch to  IDOC Adapter later.

  • How to find out the last date & time on which a program has been run

    Hi Experts,
    Can anybody tell how to find out the last date on which a purticular program has been run.
    Valuable answers will be rewarded.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Satish.

    Hi!
    Try STAD transaction. Unfortunately it contains a huge amount of data, so it is available only for a few days backwards... Maybe some weeks, but you can't make yearly reports from its data... So it's not useful to see, which program is in use or not...
    I planned once to download it weekly, but it was not so important...

  • How to get the files from Time Capsule

    Hi everyone. I have a old model of Time Capsule which is never used before. I just have finished the setup and now the Time Machine is doing backup. May I know that after the backup is done, how can I get the files (e.g. photos, mp3, video...) from the Time Capsule or Time Machine?
    Thanks for you help.

    You can use Time Machine, the Migration Assistant, or the Setup Assistant to restore data from it.

  • How to copy and paste files to Time Capsule

    I thought it could be used as an external disk.
    Do you guys know how to copy and paste files directly into Time Capsule?

    I thought it could be used as an external disk.
    An external disk...also known as a local disk....connects directly to a computer using USB or FireWire.
    The Time Capsule is a network disk, since it connects direct to a network. As such, it s a SHARED network device
    Open a Finder window and look for the SHARED heading on the left side of the window. The Time Capsule icon should appear there. Click on the Time Caspule icon.
    A folder, representing the Time Capsule drive named "Data" (unless you have changed the name of the drive) will appear to the right
    Double click on "Data" to mount the Time Capsule drive on the desktop. You may need to click "Connect As" and enter the Time Capsule device password the first time that you do this.

  • Time capsule newMac book pro,how do I retreive selected files from time capsule?

    My old MacBook crashed recentlyandIjust purchased a new MacBook pro. I want to transfer selected files from my TimeCapsule but don't know how to do it. I used Migration Assistant but it would only allow me to transfer all of the files or apps and not individual ones. If I transfered the whole info over I would have minimal memory on my new computer (got a solid state 128 GB). Is there a way to see the contents of the Time machine and pullover the files I want andnot theones I dont? Thanks in advance

    It says to plug in the drive in the other computer, but my old computer is dead, it wont even start up the hard drive was physicaly damaged. I tried control clicking on time machine and there are no discs to choose from.
    Also when I try to enterthe time machine I get an error code -6584

  • How to delete backed up files from Time Capsule in Lion.

    Since I upgraded to Lion I have been unable to delete old backed up items in Time Machine. I use Time Capsule and previously with Snow Leopard I could right click on a file and choose to delete all copies of the file. The option to do that is no longer available. Is there a setting I'm missing here? Thanks.

    You cannot delete items from Local backups (the white "tick marks").  See #30 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.

  • Can ipad access the file on time capsule

    Can the files such as movies stored on time capsule be accessed and displayed by ipad

    Of course, you need an app like "FileBrowser" or any other app that does the same.
    Your movies need to have the mp4 format, or any other format the iPad can read.
    wmv, avi, mpg, etc won't be compatible.
    Then you have to know the IP address of the Time Capsule on your network to access it.

  • How do i transfer files from time capsule to new computer?

    I recently lost my vintage Imac hard drive and to top it off, likely had a faulty OS. Good news is I have a time capsule, bad news is it is also suspected to have the faulty OS. The Imac is history and I currently have a macbook pro with Lion OS installed and now I want to retrieve all my files off the time capsule. I was told to simply "drag and drop" the files from time capsule to my new macbook. apparantly not so simple. I see the the drive in finder and a lonely folder which I am seemingly unable to do anything with. any suggestions?

    Drag and drop is not the way to go. Run Migration Assistant, found in your Applications/Utilities folder on the Macbook Pro. Follow prompts to recover information from a Time Machine backup, and point it to the Time Capsule.
    Note that the recovery will recreate your old user from the iMac. You will have already set up a user on the MBP, but the files will not go into your new user - they'll go into your old user. Once you log out, you'll see your old user appear as a login option.

  • How do I extend the length of time my iphone rings before voicemail cuts in? If I need to use a password, how do I access that on my iphone? I'm a new user.

    HELP!! My voicemail cuts in after just 15 seconds of ringing, which is rarely long enough for me to answer it. How do I increase the length of time it rings? Can I choose not to have voicemail at all, so my phone can just continue ringing until I answer?
    If I need to enter a voicemail password or key, can you tell me step by step because I can't see how to do anything except retrieve and delete voicemail msgs. I'm on O2-UK, if that makes any difference at all. Thank you

    If my response has been either helpful or correct, could you indicate that marking which it is in order that others searching for a similar solution can find find this easily.

  • Can you rename backed up files on time capsule?

    Can you rename backed up file on time capsule?

    You can rename the sparsebundle file that Time Machine has used for the backups of a Mac on a Time Capsule.....if that is what you are asking......just like you can rename any file on a Mac.
