  • I have used Airport Time Capsule with my iMac for several years. I recently purchased a MacBook Air and when it tried to backup to Time Capsule it couldn't because Time Capsule is full. How can I now use the 3TB Airport Time Capsule to back up both?

    I have used Airport Time Capsule with my iMac for a couple years. I recently purchased a MacBook Air and when it tried to backup to Time Capsule it couldn't because Time Capsule is full. How can I now use the 3TB Airport Time Capsule to back up both the iMac and MacBook Air? I don't mind losing earlier backups. I have excluded some items from backing up, but since the Airport Time Capsule is full, I can't even begin to back up the MacBook Air.

    On your Mac.......
    Open Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
    Click on the Disks tab at the top of the window
    Click Erase Disk
    On the next window that appears, select the Quick Erase option, then click Erase
    The operation will only take a few minutes.
    Now you are ready to start new backups of both Macs.  Back up one Mac first, then back up the other.  Do not try to back up both Macs as the same time.

  • My iMac was stolen in a robbery - no files via iCloud (long story).  I have a new iMac which is set up and being used - how do I recover old iMac files from what looks like back-up files showing on my Time Capsule (also being used for this new iMac)?

    My iMac was stolen - but I think there's a backup on my Time Capsule (which wasn't stolen). I have a new iMac which I've been using normally; I didn't use the 'Restore from...' option at the start because I thought the Time Capsule had nothing on it.  So how do I now recover files from the Time Machine?  I can see various back-ups on the Time Capsule, from various machines - laptops, etc. - but it's not letting me open any of them to see what they contain. Does anyone know how I access this information?

    Use migration assistant.
    See http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html
    Although this is only up to Mountain Lion it is still relevant to Mavericks.. only expect Mavericks to kick and buck a lot more.

  • HT201250 Is there any way to schedule backups on Time Machine?  I hate it that backup happens every dang hour.  I would like to have it back up at night.

    I hear you, I do.  But the problem is that with my Mac, I have to stop and postpone whatever project I am working on while the backup occurs.  It just slows down my computer.
    Then something is wrong with your backups.  Changing the interval will only deal with they symptoms, not the actual problem, and you won't be as well protected as with hourly backups.
    If the backups are much larger than they ought to be,  see #D4 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
    If the sizes are reasonable, but it seems to take too long, see #D2 there.

  • How to allocate x-GB amount of disk from Time Capsule to back up two Mac?

    I have a 1TB Time Capsule, and two Mac - iMac with 320GB, and MacBook with 160GB. How can I allocate 600GB of the 1TB Time Capsule to back up my iMac, and 300GB of the 1TB Time Capsule to back up my MacBook? And leave the rest (around 100GB) just sitting around to act as a drop box.

    Hello kennethium. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    The sure way is to temporarily remove the Time Capsule's (TC) internal drive (voiding your warranty), and then, repartition it to three separate partitions of the sizes you desire. Finally, of course, reinstall the drive.
    The other way that maybe partially possible is to create a disk image on the TC, using the Disk Utility for a size your require as the "drop box." I don't believe you can use disk images in this manner for Time Machine backups. Time Machine, in turn, should leave this disk image alone. The disadvantage of disk images is they are not accessible by Windows or Linux clients.

  • I recently purchased a brand new Airport Time Capsule 2TB. I already am using the previous generation time capsule to back up all my computers data. May I ask how can I complement the usage with my new time capsule?

    By default your new Time Capsule will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a network name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN
    Most likely your iMacs will be connected to the wireless network created by the Virgin Media router. However, both should see the Apple Network under the AirPort icon's drop-down menu as another wireless network that they can connect to. Is this not the case?

  • HT201577 I changed the network name on my time capsule and lost my airport express...how do I get it back?

    I changed the network name of my time capsule and lost my airport express in the process.... I have tried all of the resets (soft/hard/factory default) suggested in other answers to people but cannot locate the network of my airport express.  It just keeps flashing amber. I want to add it back to my time capsule to extend my network as it was before I reset the name.  HELP

    Which model of AirPort Express do you have?
    If you are not sure, the model number is on the side or bottom of the Express. Hard to see.....you may need a magnifying glass. The model number starts with an "A" followed by four numbers.
    Post back with that info.......if you want to get the Express set up again to work with the Time Capsule.
    You do have another option as well, although you will have to think in reverse on this one.
    Change the network name back to the original name on the Time Capsule, so the Express will work correctly on the network.
    Now, change the network name on the AirPort Express.  It will be blinking amber when you do this, so power it off.
    Then, change the network name on the Time Capsule and let it restart.
    Now, power up the AirPort Express and it will join up with the Time Capsule network since you have already programmed it with that information.

  • HT201365 Now that I have upgraded to iOS 7, how can I make it so that I don't need a password every time I use my iPad?

    Now that I have upgraded to iOS 7, how can I make it so that I don't need a password every time I use my iPad?

    In v6 airport utility "Join a wireless network" is not available once the TC is setup.
    You must reset to factory and try again using the selection options.. and it can fail or not come up.. This is an extremely poor way to setup a TC.. and you should NEVER EVER DO IT.. that is why apple removed it. Since you are joining wireless it makes no difference where the TC is located.. since it would become a dumb AP and turn off its ethernet ports.
    Place it right next to your main modem router, plug in by ethernet, and select bridge mode and create a wireless network. Never use Join a wireless network..
    However for completeness here is the method.
    How do I setup my time capsule with wireless internet?
    Never ever do it.
    If you need internet by wireless and backup to the TC.. then simply plug the TC directly into the Mac.
    Run dual network.. Setup explained here.

  • I bought a new external hard drive for backups, but time machine won't do a full back up.  I think it is remembering backing up onto previous external hard drives, which I don't own anymore.  How do I do a new full backup?

    I bought a new external hard drive for backups, but time machine won't do a full back up. 
    I think it is remembering backing up onto previous external hard drives, which I don't own anymore.  How do I do a new full backup?
    When I bought the new (used) iMac, I also bought an external hard drive for backups.  It worked fine, but my husband stole it.
    Then I bought a new external hard drive (Seagate) and it worked fine for three weeks, then died.
    So I just got a new external hard drive, which was put together from an internal hard drive and a hard drive enclosure. 
    Time machine did the first backup today, and it should have taken 9 hours like it did on the previous first time full back up.  Instead, it took 30 minutes.  That can't be right.  I want to start over and do a full backup to make sure everything gets onto my new external hard drive, but I can't figure out how to do that.  Please help.

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
    tmutil compare -E
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
    The command will take at least a few minutes to run. Eventually some lines of output will appear below what you entered.
    Each line that begins with a plus sign (“+”) represents a file that has been added to the source volume since the last snapshot was taken. These files have not been backed up yet.
    Each line that begins with an exclamation point (“!”) represents a file that has changed on the source volume. These files have been backed up, but not in their present state.
    Each line that begins with a minus sign (“-“) represents a file that has been removed from the source volume.
    At the end of the output, you’ll get some lines like the following:
    Added:
    Removed:
    Changed:
    These lines show the total amount of data added, removed, or changed on the source(s) since the last snapshot.

  • Stop the constant pop-ups telling me to get Firefox 5. Something I use all the time is not compatible with it so I do not want 5.0. I get a box about every hour.

    Actually there are two things I use a lot that are not compatible with Firefox 5. I did switch to it and discovered the big problem, so I had to go back to my previous Firefox. One of them that I use constantly for my passwords is Roboform -- I don't remember which one but one of the most recent. I get a box in the middle of my computer about once an hour saying that I should switch to Firefox 5. It is driving me CRAZY. How can I make it stop?
    Also, who has to make Roboform and Firefox 5 compatible?

    Every add-on developer is responsible for updating their add-on as Mozilla releases new versions of Firefox. Check with Roboform for an update for their Firefox add-on.
    You can use the Add-on Compatibility Reporter to try and "fix" that other add-on. <br />
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ <br />
    ACR has worked with every 4.0 extension that I have tried it with on Firefox 5.0 - but there may be some add-ons where it won't work, and the add-on has to actually be modified by the original developer.

  • I just got my new iPhone4 set up today and it has pulled in every email that is in my desk top as being unread.  Yet I have read all the emails.  Still the iPhone thinks they are unread.  Does anyone know how I can delete all of these at one time?

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

  • How to make more than one partition on Airport Time Capsule?

    how to make more than one partition on Airport Time Capsule?

    Only for the very brave......
    Open up the Time Capsule (voids the warranty)
    Pull the hard drive
    Place the hard drive in a separate enclosure
    Connect the enclosure directly to your Mac
    Use Disk Utility to partition the hard drive
    Reinstall the hard drive back in the Time Capsule
    For the rest of us.....
    The next best thing might be to set up one or more disk images on the Time Capsule, which will allow you reserve a given amount of space for each disk image.
    Open up Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
    Click on the New Image tab
    Navigate to the Time Capsule
    Set up the disk image by naming it and specifying how much space you want to reserve

  • How to safely remove all backups from Time Machine/Time Capsule?

    I plan to 'clean up' my Time Machine/Time capsule completely, whereby I want to make it impossible for third parties to recover all or part of these old backups.
    After I have accompished this I want to start from scratch backing up my Mac.
    Can you please let me have a step by step procedure to accomplish my goal.
    Thank you in advance!

    1) I am now specifically looking for info regarding deleting emails from backups.
    It is my impression so far, that this is not possible?
    Delete all backups of <home folder>/Library/Mail, per Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #12. 
    And exclude that folder from future backups, per FAQ #10.
    2) In addition I feel that being somewhat better in control of TM that it would be an advantage to really clean out TH completely and start a new back up, thereby systematically blooking certain matters from backing-up since there is no need for doing so.
    How would I best accomplish this?
    If the emails are all you're worried about, the procedure above will be fine.
    But if you want to erase the TC's internal HD, see #Q5 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule.

  • How do I copy my video files from iPhoto to iMovie. The two   hour wait to view all in iMovie puts the kibosh on my edit time.

    How do I copy my video files from iPhoto to iMovie? The two + hour wait for thumb nails and hour long wait looking for the right videos kills the time I have to edit.

    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
    If you are running Lion:
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.
