Outlook emails onto Time Capsule

I need to be able to access easily old Outlook emails as if they were on my Macs Hard Drive. I would like to use my Time Capsules HD to do this as well as storing other files/folders from my old PC, I guess I'm trying to set it up as a wireless cloud type arrangment except without clogging up my internet connection. Another way to easily explain it.......I'm running my new Mac as well as my old PC side by side as I need info of it...

Why not just copy the PST outlook files to the Mac? And use outlook in Mac version.. MS office. It can surely import or directly open the PST file.

You can just open the PST file if you need an email..
Otherwise keep the PC running until you have finished all you need to refer to. It is rather short sighted to simply dispose of a computer if you actually need access to it. And it is always easier to access from the native software and application that was used than any imported version.

HT1449 Can I move my iTunes library onto Time Capsule and share it across my devices (similar to a NAS drive)?

Hi
Would anyone know if I can I move my iTunes library onto Time Capsule and share it across my devices (similar to a NAS drive)?
This would give me some hard drive space on my iMac and more importantly mean my iTunes library is available all the time. Although I have Home sharing I need my iMac on and if not I use iTunes on iCloud I always seem to be downloading the tracks I need.
Current configuration / devices:
iMac 20-inch, Mid 2007 - nearly full!
Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
OSX Mavericks
Time Capsule (1TB)
iPad
iPod Touch
Apple TV
iTunes 11.1.5 (5)
Many thanks

What "devices" are these? By devices I normally understand i-devices and not computers. How many computers?
If you put the whole library on the Time Capsule (TC) you can only use it with one computer at a time because the iTunes library file can only be opened by one copy of iTunes at a time. If you put only media on the TC but have a copy of the library files on each computer you can use media by multiple computers but you then have the headache of trying to make sure that any changes done to the collection by one computer are mirrored by the libraries on the other computers which will be more or less independent.
I hope this TC isn't also your backup drive. When the TC drive fails (and it will someday) then your whole collection is gone. Don't rely upon Apple to always have copies for you to download. For one, if a distributor puylls an item then it is gone period. Additionally, Apple only keeps media, not the actual organization that is your set of library files. If you do this, buy another backup drive.

My 'old' files have been backed up onto time capsule (Leopard), I have upgraded to Lion (thro snow leopard) and now checking back to retosre some old files i can't see or access beyond the date I upgraded to Lion? Help please?

Use the manual methods.. but it is possible for TM to wipe the old files in trying to fit into the space.
Try Q16.. but read all the section 14-17

How do I move my iTunes music library off my computer and onto Time Capsule, which I want to use as an external hard drive?

Does anyone know how I can move my very large iTunes music library folder off the computer and onto my fourth generation time capsule, which I'd like to use as an external hard drive?

This Apple support document may help.
Do you also plan to use the Time Capsule disk for Time Machine backups? If so, that approach has problems. For one, you don't be backing up your music library. For another, eventually Time Machine will consume all the space on that disk, which will cause problems for your music.

Time Machine won't back up onto Time Capsule

I upgraded to Mountain Lion last week, and Time Machine won't back up to my Time Capsule. When it fails, I get the message:
Time Machine couldn't complete the backup to "Tom's Time Capsule".
The backup disk image "/Volumes/Data/TomsMac.sparsebundle" could not be created (error 60)
I sometimes get the same message, but with "error 17"
I also get the following error message popup (even though the disk is the one in my Time Capsule):
The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer.
The popup offers three choices: Initialize, Ignore, Eject.
My local Apple Store Genius concluded that the problem must be with the Time Capsule, so I bought a new one. That didn't fix the problem.
Time Machine Buddy messages:

I did Repair Disk Permissions and Verify Disk and everything's OK.
I erased the Time Capsule using AirPort Utility and did a hard reset on the Time Capsule.
I did a re-install of Mountain Lion and that didn't fix anything.
My MacBook Pro is accessing the Time Capsule wirelessly, as it always has.
Help!

Just to be sure, we're talking about a Time Capsule -- not an AirPort Extreme connected to an external hard drive. Right?
If so, proceed as follows.
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Finding password email in time capsule backup file

My iMac died last week and is in the Apple shop getting a new logic board and hard drive.
In the meantime, there is a web site that I want to access, but I don't have the password. My iMac always recalls the file when I used to log in from there.
I've used the "Back-in-Time" application to access some files from my Time Capsule while using my laptop. Is there a way to find a web site password? (I've already tried the 'forgot your password' link, and for some reason it did not send the password to me).
I also know I have an email in Apple Mail with the password on it. They sent it to me when I originally joined the site. Is there a way to search for specific emails from "Back-in-Time"?

Can I use it as storage (iTunes library, iPhoto pictures, iMovie stuff...) directly from iMac ? Is it visible as a normal network drive where I can store files ?
Yes, but as Bob says, your best bet will be to create one or more +disk images+ (via Disk Utility, in your Applications/Utilities folder) for that data.
The reason for this is, Time Machine is designed to use all the space available to it for backups; once it's full, TM begins deleting the oldest backup(s) when it needs room for new ones.
Thus making +disk image(s)+ will reserve a certain amount of space that Time Machine can't fill.
Also, be sure you have other backups of any data you put there. When the TC's disk fails (and all disk drives fail, sooner or later), you may lose anything on it.

Saving movies directly onto time capsule and synching with apple tv

hi all
i've just got hold of a 1tb time capsule. i have a heap of home movies that i want to move from tape to computer, and reckon there is over 100gb of footage. i don't have enough hard drive space for all of them
i had hoped to be able to transfer them via my laptop directly to time capsule. is this possible? And can stuff be saved on time capsule that is not then stored on the hard drive?
to complicate things, i'm hoping to be able to view them on apple tv, and hoped to be able to synch the apple tv with the time capsule
Am i making things very complicated?
Many thanks for any help

I don't know about Apple TV. I don't think you can sync a Time Capsule, but check either in the Time Capsule forum, hidden in the +Digital Life+ section, at: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1253 and/or the MobileMe forums, also in +Digital Life,+ at: http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=116
One additional consideration is backups. Most backup apps (including Time Machine) won't back up a Time Capsule (Apple's main intention for the Time Capsule is as a destination for backups, not a source). There is a feature in +Airport Utility+ where you can attach an external drive to one and "archive" the TC's disk to the external. So be sure you have a good backup plan.

Need guidance moving archived Outlook emails onto Macbook Pro

I am switching from a PC at work to a macbook pro laptop. I have successfully added my outlook exchange server email address to apple mail. However, I need to add my archived emails that are on my old desktop. Can anyone help or advise me? Do I have to purchase Outlook for Mac and use that program?
Thanks~

Sounds like you have updated to 10.1.1?
Something is not right in the updating.
I think the last two Projects have something in them that did not transfer in the copy of the Library.
Try creating a separate Library for the last Projects on the Mac Pro then copy that Library.

How do I make a itunes file onto time capsule

Hey there,
I recently got a TC and I have backed up my MBP onto it, but it just shows my whole MBP as one file and you can not go into and look at the files while on another computer that is connected into my tc. So, if that makes any sense, what I want to do is make a file onto my TC where all my music and videos from my itunes will be in. I then want to be able to access that file on my tc onto another computer (My Sister's). She wants some of my music and instead of having her tell me want music she wants and having to drop them into her drop file, I want her to be able to connect into my TC go into that itunes file and grab whatever music/ movies she wants that is in my itunes. Is that possible?

Sign into the iTunes Store with the Apple ID and password you used to log in here. If you want to create a new account instead of using your existing one, create a new Apple ID.

I was able to copy all my files from my Time Capsule, but that is all they are...files. How do I get my new Mac Mini to emulate my other Mac?

I was able to copy all my files from my Time Capsule, but that is all they are...files. How do I get my new Mac Mini to emulate my other Mac?

Doggiemommie,
Copying files is not a good idea.
The "other Mac" was backed up onto Time Capsule using the Time Machine. On your new Mac you should restore the old user - rather than copy files manually.
This usually happens during the initial setup of the new computer or you can do it later using Migration Assistant.
Please note, it is possible to damage backup file on the Time Capsule when you browse it and copy files manually.
Hope this explains.

Time Capsule Hard Drive not showing up in Windows machine

I have Time Capsule showing up perfectly on my two Macooks, but my windows laptop from work cannot see the Time Capsule hard drive at all. I have successfully logged onto Time Capsule as a wireless network and am able to use the Internet fine, but I still can't see time capsule anywhere in Windows Explorer or my network places?
I turned off Windows firewall and re-install Bonjour for Windows, but that didn't help either. I thought Time Capsule was just supposed to show up in my system after I access the network? Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I set up my TC and installed Airport Utility on two PCs running Windows XP. On the first machine, the hard disk didn't show up, but on the second PC it showed up automatically mapped to Z:\. To fix this problem, I just opened the Airport Utility on the problem PC and looked up the IP address of the TC. I typed in the URL based on the IP address and it came up fine as \\10.0.0.1 showing another folder called 'Time Capsule'. You can easily map a drive to this folder by going to the start menu, right-click on My Computer, and select map network drive.

Data transfer from Time Capsule to new Mac

I have a MBP which up until 7 days ago had Mountain Lion on it. The week before that, i had major abdominal surgery and when i was in the hospital, i accidentally knocked a bottle of water over and it fried my MBP. I would not turn on after that.
I took the MBP to the Apple Store for it to be repaired, at a cost of about $800. Meanwhile, i bought a new MBP. Both computers are the same with 2.5Ghz intel processor Core i5. As far as i know, the only difference is that the newer one has a 500GB HD and the older one has a 1 TB HD, and the older one ran Mountain Lion while the new one came with Mavericks.
I had the older computer backed up on a Time Capsule. When i got the newer one, i turned it on and went through the set up process. When asked at the beginning if i wanted to transfer stuff over from another computer or drive, i said 'ask me later' or something like that. I have never used Migration Assistant before and did not understand it well enough to use it.
I transferred the backed up data on Time Capsule to the new computer wirelessly. It worked fine. When i got done,
the hard drive looked like the old one, same set, same files on the desk top, dock arranged the same way, same Safari bookmarks, and also, the same third party
programs and data, with one exception, but for the most part it was the same.
Since i set up the new computer, it has been having regular back ups onto Time Capsule.
Now, i have the older computer back, repaired. The older computer no longer has Mountain Lion. It has Mavericks OS 10.8.5. The newer computer has OS 10.9.3.
I want to do the same thing i did a week ago in order to transfer the data to the older now repaired computer, but i can't remember what i did, i'd never transferred data from Time Capsule before. I have not been in the best shape mentally, having been cut open with a 10 inch incision and pain pills.
All i know is that whatever i did, it was very easy, i believe i used Time Machine to do it, and it transferred my third party programs with their data. It did NOT involve using Migration Assistant.
I don't plan on using the newer computer. i plan to go back to using the older one which has the larger hard drive.
Both computers have the same user account names and login info. I just want to replace what is currently on the older freshly repaired MBP with what is on the Time Capsule.
I am not sure if my question is very clear but i'm wondering if anyone can tell me how i can transfer the data from my Time Capsule to my older now repaired MBP without using Migration Assistant (which i think would not transfer my 3rd party stuff). i just want to do what i did a week ago but can't remember what i did. I think i used Time Machine, i connected the computer and Time Capsule (or they were already connected wirelessly).
I did NOT choose Enter Time Machine. I think i went in to Time Machine Preferences and clicked on 'Select Disk.' I think i selected a disk that has the name of my Airport connection and has the word Data on it. Does that sound possible?
Does anyone know what i'm talking about from experience or other knowledge? because i'm inexperienced with this process and am not very clear about what happened, but i know it didn't involve Migration Assistant and it didn't involve Time Machine > Enter Time Machine, because i have never seen those before today.
Whatever i did, it was so easy, just click on the disk i wanted to transfer data from and click some button that meant "ok" or "connect" or "transfer." And then, just wait, and after some time, my computer was set up reflecting the back up from Time Capsule, including third party stuff.
Thanks for any help with this.
btw, in Time Machine now, under Select Disk > Back up disks, there are two boxes. The first box says Backup Disks, and in that box is the name of my Airport connection, i.e. the Time Capsule i guess, and on the icon, it says Data. In the second box, it says Available Disks, and in that box, it has an icon of a disk with the name of my Airport or Time Capsule and it has an icon of a Wifi symbol which has the name, Other Time Capsule. Apparently that is an option to set up another Time Capsule not listed. I wonder if i chose one of those icons and clicked "Use Disk", would that data be transferred to my now repaired computer?

(Sorry, after i posted this, i discovered it posted it in the wrong product forum, i guess when i typed in what i was interested in, it just took me to the Snow Leopard forum. i don't see a way to delete my post. Maybe the answer will be the same?)

Using Tiger 10.4.11 and trying to back up hard drive on time capsule

I have successful set up time capsule to be my base internet station. Now I want to copy my hard drive onto Time Capsule but cannot figure out how to do it. I visited the apple store today in NYC and they folks there suggested I use "migration assistant". I have done this and migration assistant cannot locate my time capsule. I have attached an ethernet cable from my computer to the time capsule and this does not help. Can anyone suggest how I can copy my files from my hard drive to the time capsule? Thanks (as an aside I have leopard and plan to install as soon as I can back up my hard drive on time capsule. Leopard should make back up painless going forward).

I've found a solution, no need to post a response. Thanks!

Streaming audio/instruments from Extreme or Time Capsule

Hi there
I am thinking about getting either Time Capsule or an Airport Extreme with an additional USB hard drive attached for backup.
Either device will be wired to my mac via ethernet.
I was also thinking of streaming audio or an audio instrument from the hard drive of either.
Does anyone know what the performance would be like with either device hard wired to my Mac?
Stuart

I've been trying to do this but it doesn't seem to work so well :/
I put all the Logic project files and Apple Loops onto Time Capsule and the project plays fine, but the loops will not preview (I can, however, add them to a track, just can't preview). Time Capsule is set up to only connect to my MacBook via ethernet.
I then moved the Apple loops to another ext. HD (WD Passport connected via USB->Mini firewire) and it worked fine.
I also read here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7047999&#7047999
That someone called Apple and they said Apple "does not recommend use of Time Capsule with high powered apps such as Logic or Logic Express." Their testing indicates that some "files may be compromised when they are written to disk."
Which is kinda sad. Also, before 10.5.3 (today) large project files wouldn't play from the Time Capsule. Oh well, guess I'll keep the extra logic files on the passport.

Time Capsule & Clean Install iMac

Hi
I have 750GB of data to backup onto Time Capsule for its first run. It will take several days to do the first run. If I manage to do this, can I do a clean install on my iMac and use the data on Time Capsule, or will I have to start again? What I'm aiming to do, is safely backup everything to Time Capsule, then spend time removing my files. At the end of that, I want to do a clean install of Snow Leopard. I had wanted to do a clean install, run Time Capsule, then add the files as needed. However, some of my files are huge iPhoto libraries that are up to 200GB! I have an external FW800 HD for SuperDuper! clone of the iMac. Apart from that, any advice is most welcome.

Doubtful, at 75%. First, your Mac automatically and continuously defrags any file under 20 mb. Second, unless your disk has been much more full, and you manipulate lots of large files, the drive won't be seriously fragmented.
How can I check the fragmentation of the iMac?
There's no OSX tool for that, since Apple doesn't think it's necessary. The 3rd-party tools tend to overstate the importance of any fragmentation they find.
At the moment, I am stuck. I have managed to transfer everything that I may need onto the iMac. Most of the data is from Apple's Backup application (where files were backed up onto CD/DVD). For this reason, I have many duplicated files. I don't know where to start.
Do you mean you copied the Backup files? Or used Backup to restore them? Are they Full or Incremental backups? Restoring from them can be tedious, error-prone, and "iffy." Have you ever done any Backup restores?
I could do a clean install and add the files as I need them. Alternatively, I could backup everthing I have now and delete the files. Two ways of doing the same thing - adding or removing. Either way, it's a huge task sorting out the duplicated files, and removing what I no longer need.
I could really do with some advice on how to sort through files - not how to do it, but more a guide to a good strategy. What is the easiest, pain-free way of managing a good de-clutter in small chunks?
It depends on what sort of things you're talking about. If it's 3rd-party apps, erasing and selectively restoring will probably be a nightmare. Many such apps, especially the ones that come with their own installers, put various things in various places, besides the app in your Applications folder. Unless you know what and where all those are, the app may not work right, if at all. Worse, you may not notice that for quite some time, until you try to use a feature you haven't tested. Also, there may be some "leftovers:" background jobs that no longer have what they need to run, so they continually start, crash, and re-start forever, filling up your logs and using lots of CPU.
If it's pure data, such as a very large video library, you likely won't have those sorts of problems, but it would also be much easier to just delete what you don't want.
Without knowing just how much of what sort of stuff you're looking at, it's hard to give better advice. If you have a 2 TB TC, then I'd say back it all up and start deleting; the TC should have plenty of room to keep the backups for a long time. But if you move or rename folders with a lot of content, they'll be backed-up again entirely, so you may fill up the TC rather quickly.
However you approach it, I'd be inclined to also make a full "clone" before starting; check it by booting and running from it to be sure everything's there and working, then put it "on the shelf" in case you need it in a week or a few months.
