Problem MacBook Lion and TC file recovery from previous Mac

I had backed up my Macbook (white) with Snow Leopard with Time Capsule. After having upgraded to a new Macbook Pro with Lion, having done migration, I found that not all photos or files have been transferred over.
I am now trying to get them back from Time Capsule but it seems the new Macbook Pro does not communicate well with it.
So i dug up my old macbook and tried to restore files there - but now getting an error (cannot mount disk images)
Very disappointed and worried.  Anyone had the same problem please or good tips to overcome please? Thanks

Not sure what to say. In the first case, your using a comptuer with a totally different OS, and different hardware, to try to communicate with your sparse bindle from the orignal. I can see where you may run into issues here.
Can you quote the message exactly on the older nbp that you've getting?

  • Problems with Lion and .pkg files.

    After the upgrade to Lion, i've a problem to install .pkg files. If i try to open it with double click, terminal window starts and cursor waits for commands! With Leopard the installer program started after double click on .pkg files, but with Lion "installer" seems to be disappeared.
    Same happens with some apps, when clicking they don't install, but terminal window starts...
    How to fix this problem?

    Apologies for the misspellings.
    Basically i have tried uploading my MP3 files (one by one) in my device. then i tried uploading films. then when i disconnected my device all my songs on the device is gone. i do not know what happened exactly.
    it would seem the current iTunes version is "unstable". having uploaded 50 songs, doing them one by one only to find out out it got wiped out in the device for some reason.
    any explanation for this?
    Thank you.

  • HT5361 I have Snow Leopard on my late model IMac. I downloaded Mountail Lion and paid for it from the Mac Store. It will not install. It takes me through several pages and then button to install is greyed out. A message that this disc is used for Time Mac

    I have a late mode IMac 27" running Snow Leopard. I downloaded Mountain Lion from the Apple Store and paid for it. When I trie to install it took me through the first few pages of installation such as agrreeing to terms and the Lion Page showed up asking where I wanted to intall Mountain Lion. The install button was greyed out. I also had a message this disc is used for Time Machine. I had no other disc to choose from. Time Mahine was in the OFF position. I tried hooking up an external drive and tried using it as th Time Machine Backup. That did not work and it also said this disc is used by Time Machine. I have read of several other cases like this but have found no solution other than doinh a complee wipe of the hard drive and doing a reinstall which I really want to avoid if I can.

    Look at the root of your hard drive for a folder called Backups.backupdb.
    Or, a sparse bundle disk image for one of mobile computers that might have tried to back up to your Mac.
    If you have those, remove them and try again.

  • Mountain Lion fails to install saying it cannot create the recovery; I had a similar problem with Lion and the Apple Store that helped me resolve it gave me an installable version of Mountain Lion on a flash drive for my inconvenience....

    Mountain Lion fails to install saying it cannot create the recovery; I had a similar problem with Lion and the Apple Store that helped me resolve it gave me an installable version of Mountain Lion on a flash drive for my inconvenience....is there some trick I am missing or do I need to make an appointment with a genius...

    I have the MacIntosh volume and the Boot Camp partition only.  I know that when I installed Lion, I had to go through a whole back-up and recovery of Windows and then re-format the drive. 
    The tech at the Apple Store had a previous life as a MSCE and was very helpful.  I believe he even said that I should not have htis problem with Mountain Lion which is why they gave me the flash with it onboard.  I was in the process of starting a new job when I went to Lion, so I have waited to do this next and probably last upgrade to this old MBP since I doubt Apple will support this MBP in Maverick. 
    I do not have another installation, so that is not an option.  I will try to create an external, I have plenty of hard drives around and see if I can get it done that way.  It might take me a week or two to get back to it, but I will comment back upon completion of that effort.  Thanks for your help....Dave Iverson

  • Screen stuck on gray, used shift key and my screen appears with MacBook Pro and not the recovery option. Please help

    Screen stuck on gray, used shift key and my screen appears with MacBook Pro and not the recovery option. Please help!

    Hi ..
    Shift key boots into Safe Mode, not Recovery.
    This only works on a Mac running v10.7 Lion or later.
    Startup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to access the built in utilities to repair the startup disk and restore OS X using OS X Recovery
    If you can't boot into Recovery Mode, help here >   Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup

  • Just got new macbook pro (13inch) and restored all data from old mac via time machine. Now whenAudio drop out for 3-4 secs every 10 - 15 secs!! What is going on and what can I do?

    Just got brand new macbook pro (13inch) and restored all data from old mac via time machine. Now when I p/back a track in logic I get audio drop out for 3-4 secs every 10 - 15 secs!! What is going on and what can I do? Its the same version of logic and all other functions seem fine!

    First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.

  • Problem with Preview and PSD files - random gray square

    Hi guys, hope you can help...
    I've got a problem with Preview and PSD files.
    If I open in Preview both an original jpg straight from my reflex and the photoshop version of the same picture, the psd file presents a gray square (of what it seems unrendered image) in a random area of the photo (sometimes in the center.). The square is quite big...
    If I zoom in or zoom out it disappears...if I scroll to another photo and then back to the psd, the square it's there again...sometimes in a different position.
    I've tried the same psd on my older iMac with leopard...and got no problem at all.
    I suspect it got something to do with my Ati...
    (this is the second iMac 27...the first went back for gray banding on the lcd screen and flickering and yellow tinge........)
    Thanks for your help.
    DAve.

    maybe I'm onto something...
    I've just found out that opening Preview in 32bit mode (instead of default 64bit) works flawlessly with any psd files. If I switch back to 64bit mode, Preview is much faster but the gray square comes back...
    It seems like the i7 is much faster than the Ati....
    Any more realistic ideas?

    I have 2 iphones syncing on one computer and on the same apple ID.
    Before i updatad my Itunes to the last available update and my Iphones to 5.01
    i had no problem draging jpg. and mp3 files into my iphones DCIM folder (the picture folder that opens
    when conecting to Itunes). Since my updates Itune wont let me drag and drop any files' even pictures that
    were taken with my Iphone on 4.3.3.
    Please help as we have no itunes music in Israel, only apps and i cant copy any of my old music from my computer
    to my iphones.
    If it helps, i am using a pc with 32 bit windows 7.
    Other from the obove Itunes works fine and does sync pictures from my computer to my Iphone from "my pictures" folder.

    The title of my initial post is a bit misleading. I already took a chance deleting one of the iPhones, hoping if I deleted the wrong one, I can still reauthorize it (all with the same Apple ID acct, so not subject to 90-day waiting period, right?) The iTunes database just updated itself, and it says I have 4 "devices" "in the Cloud", but 5 "computers" associated w my account. How can I find out what computers are associated? Isn't there a list I can see? I dont have a clue what computers they might be. If I use the  "Deauthorize All" option, is it a pain to add them all back in. I assume I would have to log in from each computer to reauthorize each one. Would I have to be running the newest OS or version of iTunes to reauthorize? I think I have a PowerBook G4 Titanium with an older OS and iTunes. I'd like to keep that authorized, if possible.

  • Problem in tutorial and zip file. can anyone file it or correct it..

    hi jdev experts,
    am using jdev11.1.1.5.0.

    Hi Thomas,
    Thanks for the response.  So, after the computer did it's restart thing after installing I went into finder where I usually have everything come up including my Macintosh HD folder and all it's folders and files.. Anyway it was this that hadn't come up and all the files were listed under All My Files and out of all their folders.  I totally switched the computer off after posted the problem and now having switched it back on I see that it's all there and in it's proper files. 

  • My ipod nano is recognised by my new MacBook Air, and even transferred purchases from it, but it won't synch?

    My old ipod nano is recognised by my new MacBook Air, and even transferred purchases from it, but it won't synch?
    When I linked it it used the name I had given the ipod so it seems strange that it won't synch even though it is definitely connected.

    See if this helps:
    iPod not recognized in iTunes and Mac desktop - Support - Apple
    OR
    iTunes 10: iPhone, iPod or iPad Won't Sync - Apple Toolbox

  • Can I and how, copy CS6 from my Mac to macbook?

    Can I and how, copy CS6 from my Mac to macbook?

    Hello Kevin, to my knowledge it#s like this:
    On a 32bit OS Photoshop CS6 is installed only as a 32bit version. The 32bit version of Photoshop can be used just for older plugins.
    On a system with a 64bit architecture, you can install the 32bit version optional.
    To use all features, you should use the 64bit version (which requires a 64bit OS).
    Photoshop CS6 for Mac OS is available only as 64-bit application. Therefore the elder and 32-bit plug-in will not run.
