HT4413 Trying to restore my iMac from Time Capsule after reinstalling the OS X

Had to reinstall the OS after replacing the power supply and finding the OS corrupted. Originally the iMac came with 10.4.7 which we upgraded to 10.6.8. Now trying to restore the data from my time capsule using migration assistant only to get the message that the backups were done with a newer version of OS X. I checked the version installed and it's up to date.
How can I get the data and how is it possible that the version is newer given that the same disks were used??

See Pondini's TM FAQs, for starters.

What "new system" did you reinstall?
Are you upgrading from Leopard to Snow Leopard?
Or did you reinstall Leopard? If so, why and how (that may provide a clue)?
How is your Mac connected to the Time Capsule (use Ethernet for best results)?
You may need to repair the backups, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.

I had to restore my iMac from Time Machine. After the restoration all programs are functioning except my Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium. When I start any program in the suite the error message, "Licensing for this product has stopped working." I restarted the computer and tried again to run Photoshop and the same error message appeared. The message was followed by a message that stated that I needed to contact Adobe technical support and mention Error: 150.30. I need Adobe technical support to provide me a solution for my problem so I can continue using my Adobe products installed on my computer.

Unfortunately when Adobe products are restored from backup, especial CS4 and especially Mac, it breaks licensing.
There is a python script included in the license recovery kit that should work if you are familiar with Terminal.
If not, you must reinstall your CS4 suite. You don't need to delete your preferences, so it should be the same as before.

How much free storage space is available on your iPod Touch?
When restoring your iPod Touch with iTunes, did you restore from the backup for the iPod Touch or as a new iPod Touch?
If the former and the problem lies with the data included with the backup, restoring from the backup will also restore the problem putting you right back where you started.

After restoring imac from time capsule stuck at apple booting screen

Hello,
I had an IMAC with hard drive that crashed. I installed a new internal HD.
Restored from time capsule. After 10 hours of restoring, it restarted.
Now it has been stuck at the Apple boot screen with the spinning wheel now for 3 hours.
Does it take that long? Anything wrong maybe.
Thanks for all your help.

Hello Brenden,
Thanks for the link. I have already tried everything in that kink but still getting the same issue.
One clarification if you can help me.
When I replaced my HD, I booted up using Mountain Lion CD.
I went to Disk Utility I paritioned the new drive.
I then went to System Restore and tried to restore from my time capsule a backup from Yosemite, Maverick and Snow Leopard
When imac restarted i was getting messages that it cannot boot up..Same message over and over.
Therefore, I once again went in and booted up using Mountain Lion CD,
Went to Disk Utility and erased all contents of the whole drive. Clean.
This time I went ahead and ran the Mountain Lion Installer.
Imac restarted and booted fine to Mountain lion.
Did all updates and so forth.
Now went to Utilities folder and selected Migration Assistant and chose to restore once more.
Restored finished, and this time I am getting the issue I originally reported.
My question is, since I am running Mountain Lion, if the backup was made using Yosemite, just before my IMAC crashed,
is this the problem why it is stuck at Boot. Because i need to be running Snow Leopard at leat to upgrade to Yosemite.
However, how come none of my backup s can be restored , just by going straight to restore backup instead of installing some mac os x first.
Thanks,

Restore from Time Capsule after Hard Drive Crash

The HD on my iMac crashed Christmas Day. I have been running backups on Time Machine to a Time Capsule since I purchased the iMac (and also backing up a MacBook Air), but never had any occasion to see if it worked.
I yesterday got the computer back with a new HD installed. When I tried to do the restore from Time Capsule from the Setup Assistant which ran on start up, I could not get past the initial screen. It kept hanging up on "Opening Time Capsule," and then on one occasion it found only the MacBook Air back up volume.
After some research here, I tried running the utility after booting from my Snow Leopard disk. This time, it immediately found the backups from both computers, but hung up on opening the iMac backup.
After more research, I ran the disk utility and repaired the HD on the iMac. It finally worked -- I woke up to a "Restore Complete" message (it started around 10:00 pm last night). The iMac started up without a hitch to the way it looked Christmas morning. The only problem I have noticed is that my most recent events in iPhoto are empty. The thumbnails are there, but no pictures. I tried to rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager, but no luck. Any ideas?
The other thing I noticed is that I had to reauthorize the computer for my iTunes purchases. Will Apple fix that so it doesn't chew up my last remaining authorization?

think about the speed of wifi here
speed at 802.11n = a theoretical 540Mbps (less in real world scenarios)
Mbps = Mega bits per second
MBps - Mega bytes per second
8 bits = 1 byte
8 mega bits = 1 mega byte
How long would it take you to download a 1 gig file from the internet wired into your modem? About 10-20 min? And that is taking into account that the info is being uploaded hardwire. Now imagine that same file over wireless in your home being upload by the Airport card in your computer. People over look upload speed when considering these things. The wireless upload speed of your Airport card is what is limiting this. Just a limitation of the technology, not a fault of Apple just stating the numbers here.

How to restore mail files from Time Capsule onto a different machine?

My Macbook Pro hard drive crashed, and I want to restore my backed-up mail files from Time Capsule onto my Desktop Mac (iMac 27"). When I try to restore by opening Time Capsule with Mail already open, I can only see the current mail files on the iMac (not the backed up files on the MacBook Pro), even when I point to the MacBook Pro backup file.

I have restored my Imac frm Time capsule. It is asking me for a password to start which I dont have.

I have restored my Imac following a hard disc failure from Time Capsule. After completing my details to register with apple it is asking me to log on with a password which I do not know. How can I find this password?

As expert User Carolyn Samit said in a previous Posting:
For Lion v10.7 Reset a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Password
For a prior Mac OS X > Mac OS X: Changing or resetting an account password
Hope this helps

Restoring files from Time Capsule after upgrading from Leopard to Snow Leopard.

I just purchased Time Capsule so I could back up all 105GB of data from my 2 year old, iMac 24 running Leopard.
I've been having issues, especially with Safari, so I'm (finally) upgrading to Snow Leopard.
My Time Capsule is being used as a SAN and is joining my already existing network via ethernet connection.
When I install Snow Leopard, I plan on blowing out Leopard and running Snow Leopard fresh from scratch, not doing an upgrade.
Will I be able to restore my files, iTunes, and photos from Time Capsule like if I were moving them from a flash drive, even though my iMac has changed?
I don't know if I'm thinking that Time Capsule is getting an image of my iMac and when I blow it out and load Snow Leopard on it, it won't be able to read it again...
But I'm thinking if the answer if yes, which mean I could move files backed up from my iMac to my MacBook Air. Right?
Thanks

Full Restore from Time Capsule after hard drive failure

Authorized agent replaced hard drive after it failed. Installed 10.5.5 and currently attempting to do a full restore from Time Capsule - progress is slow and in question after 22 hours. The backup size approx. 100 gb.
Screen reads "Transferring Information" at the top, progress bar is moving, and bottom of the screen reads "Looking for applications and documents to transfer" and hasn't changed for 22 hours.
Is this normal? how long should 100 gb take to restore?
