HT4500 How long will it take to transfer 400gb from time capsule to my iMac using mountain lion

I did a clean install on my iMac. Now I cannot access my backups. I can see the time capsule, but when I open time machine, I only have today  which is the newly installed system. I am now trying to use migration assistant to grab my files. I got to where I choose my time machine and entered my password. Now I don't see any action. How long will the transfer take?  My 500 gb time capsule is full. Should I be seeing something on my screen.

This depends on what the connection type is for the computer to the Time Capsule - wireless or Ethernet, how much data are involved, what generation of Time Capsule, and whether the transfers are to an HDD or SSD.

  • How long does it take to transfer data from a PC to a Mac?

    Using Migration Assistant and I am transferring data from PC to IMac. Have no idea how ling this process should take. How long does it take to transfer data from a PC to a Mac?

    This may not be the best forum to get an answer.
    Depending on what is being/can be migrated it may be dependent on how much data is on the PC already.

  • How long should it take to transfer information from hard drive to MacBook Pro after resetting

    how long should it take to transfer information from my hard drive to my Mac Pro after it has been reset

    There is no answer to that. The time depends on the amount of data and the method used for transfer.

    How long does it take to move 700gb from time machine to a new iMac?

    Last time I did this it took approx 2 and a half hours for 220 GB...
    That was using an External USB 2 Time Machine Hard Drive.

  • How long does it take to transfer data from a time  machine back up?

    I am in the process of transferring my data from my time machine back up from my old mac to my new mac and this seems to be taking a long time.  What is everyone's experience for how long this takes?

    That does seem a tad excessive. What connection are you using? Ideal is firewire; Airport would be slowest (quite possibly as long as you say).

  • How long does it take to transfer files from Windows to Macbook Pro

    Hi guys
    I just got a macbook pro (not the one with retina display)
    I have all of my files on my windows and just started to set up my mac using the windows transfer program, but it is taking a really long time. The estimate time remaining jumps between 30-35 hours. This is over Wi-Fi. I have read that it is faster using an Ethernet cable, I think I have one that is pluged into connecting both computers, but it isn't speeding anything up.
    What should I do? I don't want to leave either computer on for such a long time. (is there anything I should put my Mac on so it doesn't overheat, its currently on a wood table).
    Should I stop it? I dont want to ruin anything on the computer so soon. If so, how do I do it. I had already started to transfer files earlier today but accidently closed the Mac, which stopped the process and couldn't restart it again, so I turned it off since I couldn't find anything on the screen to stop it.
    I have an external harddrive that was connected to my windows, would it be faster to hold the mac's power button, start the startup again and just connect the external harddrive?
    Please help. Thanks in advance.

    Wi-Fi is slowest. Wi-fi must fight interference and other environmental challenges that cables don't have to worry about at all.
    Cabled Ethernet would be much faster. If your Windows computer has Gigabit Ethernet, it could actually be faster than FireWire.

    I would only abort if there is a safe way to (like a visible Cancel button), otherwise you may lose data.
    Connecting the external hard drive to the Mac could work, but if the hard drive is formatted with the NTFS disk format, you must have extra software on your MacBook Pro that can read that. If the drive is formatted as FAT32, it should work since Macs can read (but not write to) that Windows disk format.

  • I just got one of the new iMac.  following the on screen instructions to do migration assist.  I guess it connected via wifi to my old iMac.  now it seems to have stopped.  what can I do to not mess it all up?  how long will it take on wifi?

    I just got a new iMac.  was following the onscreen instructions to do migration assistance and I guess it connected to my old iMac via wi fi. It never instructed me to connect via firewire.  Now it seems to have stopped.  what can I do that won't completely mess it up?  how Long will it take to do over wi fi?

    Your new iMac does not have a Firewire port so you ned this adapter:

  • How long will it take to install ios 7.0.6?

    Good day every one! May i ask if any body knows how long will  it take to install ios 7.0.6 on my ipad mini? Help lease.....

    I've just done the update directly on my iPhone from 7.0.4 to 7.0.6 and it took 15 minutes from start to finish - on my iPad yesterday it was similar.
    However you do the update, directly on your iPad or via your computer's iTunes (via your computer will be slower), then copy your purchases over to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases and take a backup of your iPad - and preferably copy any important documents and/or photos off as well so that you have your own copy of them (the update should go smoothly, but it's best to be safe)

    Did you try unplugging the power cord for a few seconds, then plugging it back in? That usually fixes similar problems for me.

  • How long does it take to transfer computers

    if i purchase a new macbook, how long does it take to transfer everything off my old mac?

    Using Migration Asisstant over WiFi (described below), it took me about 2 hours to migrate my 60GB from old to new Mac.
    You could speed this up using Ethernet if you choose.

    How long will it take to install Illustrator on a fast computer?

    Hi Supertec2u2,
    For a computer connected to high speed internet the download will take not more than 3 to 5 minutes.
    And for an equally fast computer with good processing speed the installation would not take more than 5 minutes.

  • Just recieved my iphone4 and i have no service, how long will it take to activate?, Just recieved my iphone4 and i have no service, how long will it take to activate?

    Just recieved my iphone4 and i have no service, how long will it take to activate?, Just recieved my iphone4 and i have no service, how long will it take to activate?

    Normally activation should only be a matter of minutes, but if your iTunes library (where you're trying to activate the phone)  is in a place where you have no cell service, it will not activate until you take it to a place where you do have service.
    So if it is sitting idle and not activating that could be a reason (happened to me). If you're a Verizon customer you may have to dial *228, then press 1 to finish the activation.
