When my 2006 Imac hard drive died I decided to get a new iMac. When I replace it with a new iMac how do I get to the files on my Time Caspule..I have all my old hard drive backed up on it so will my new iMac recognize it? How then do I back up my new hard drive also?

  • How can I access the files on my time capsule?

    I bought this thinking it could be used as additional storage, like a hard drive only wirelessly.  It appears to be functioning as backup but I don't know how to access the files to see if it actually is.  Any advice?  When I click on time machine in the finder it just takes me to a folder that says Data with no entry for date modified.  Yet elsewhere it tells me it has been backing up every half hour or so.  Whats the deal?

    You do not access the backup file store directly.. you access it via Time Machine.. the files are not stored in a way you would directly access anyway.. all files are stored as a backup in a very complex structure.
    Read Q14-17 on how to use restore to get files out of the TM backup.

    If you want to access files on the TC, copy them directly to the TC .. don't use backups as a method of access to other devices.

  • How can I view the files on my Time Capsule without using Time Machine?

    In the past Time Machine was backing up to a regular external disc and I could view the files easily. I'm new to the Time Capsule and not sure this is possible as I can't "find" the Time Capsule disc.
    Thanks for any tips

    The Time Capsule's drive appears as a network drive, so it doesn't show up as an external drive.
    To access to it, first make sure you are connected to the Time Capsule. Then, open a Finder window and you will see the Time Capsule's drive in the sidebar, under "Shared". Select it and you will be able to access to the files stored in the Time Capsule

  • How do I transfer the music from my iPod to my new IMac computer (95% of the music on it is from CD's I own)?

    How do I transfer the music from my IPod to my new IMac computer?  I just changed from a PC to IMac. 95% of the music on it is from CD's I own and the ITunes on the new IMac is only recongnizing the ones I bought off of ITunes.

    That is correct.  The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases.
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

    If it's the Pre-Shared Key you're looking for, open Airport Utility, under the menu item Base Station, look for Equivalent Network Password.

    Do you mean copy it?  If so, see #18 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions  You'll need section 2 there.

  • Old PC Died... How do i transfer the songs on my ipod to my new pc?

    My pc HD failed and all my music was on there. I still have everything on my iPod. How do I get the music from my iPod to my new PC? When I connect it to my new pc it says that its going to replace my music with the new library (which is empty).

    iClique,
    I hope you take this as an opportunity to learn a very important lesson: Back up your iTunes library as soon as you can after resolving this situation because right now you are only one glitch of your iPod away from losing your music entirely.
    Many people come to the Discussions having lost their music in just such situations and, believe me, it's not a happy time for anyone.
    If you place any importance on your playlists and the data they depend on, you will want to include your iTunes Library files in your back-up regimen as well.
    Anyways, that's the lecture. The answer to your problem should be found in this post:

    Good Luck! But once your music is back on your computer, remember:
    Your music is valuable - please back it up!

    when i got my new mac i hooked up my old pc to the network, and then went to sharing in the settings on the imac, and turned on file sharing, went to more options and enabled the ftp server.  got an ftp program on the pc and uploaded everything to the imac.

  • How do I transfer the songs on my ipod to a new computer? I heard software?

    Dug out an old ipod and started using it again, how do i transfer the songs that are on it to a new computer? I know that if I sync it with the library that I have started I will lose all of those songs. Is there a way to do this?
    Thanks in advance
