Problems BackUp New MacBook Pro to Time Capsule 1Tb

Hello
I tried to backup my new replaced MacBook Pro to the Time Capsule. This went wrong so I decided to format my time capsule (erase with zeros).
Then I setup the Time Capsule again and start the Backup. My MacBook Pro ist filled with 416Gb Data. Connected for this initial Backup is over 1000Mb/s Ethernet. Everytime my Backup stucks, sometimes after 1 Gb, 2.7. 19Gb was the largest amount I was able to backup. When I after hours on non copying manually stop the backup, it takes again hours before the Time Machine Software goes to idle. Mostly it goes so long that I decide to reboot the MacBook
I also have repaired my HD with the HArd Disk Utility Program, no result. For Secure Reason I cloned my MacBook woth superDuper to an external HD without any Problem.
Ist their a way to delete all the old backup file from my hd? My MacBook was migrated form an older MacBook Pro, maybe some TM index files are corrupted
How can I test if the harddisk is really reliable? Has the Time Capsule a builtin SMART function. Could it be usefull to take out the HD from the Time Capsule and do a low levelformat in a windows computer?
Any Tips

See #D2 and #D6 in the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip,* also at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum.
If none of the things there help, copy and post the +TM Buddy+ messages here (per #D2), or see if any of them are in the Contents of the Troubleshooting Tip.

Do you mean the Time Machine backups on the TC? If so, you can just delete the sparse bundle.
Could it be usefull to take out the HD from the Time Capsule and do a low levelformat in a windows computer?
That would void the warranty; and probably format it in a way that OSX and Time Machine cannot use.

  • I cannot transfer my iTunes library to the new macbook pro from time capsule,what to do?

    what to do to transfer itune library from time capsule into the new mac book pro(retina)?

    You have an Apple Store across the street, how convenient...  I think you should just walk over and ask.
    NOTE:  Your iTunes library exists on your computer.  Unless you subscribe to Apple's iTunes Match service (which matches or uploads your library's songs and playlists into iCloud), you cannot use another computer and access your library.
    However, you can download previous purchases from the iTunes Store (at no cost) into a different iTunes library (not your library), and then set up the iPod to sync to that library, or set it to Manually manage music and videos, and manually load the songs (and other content) to your iPod.  The manual method may be better in this case, since you won't be accessing that computer's iTunes library again.
    To do this, go to the iTunes Store Home screen.  Sign in using your Apple ID (the one you used to make the purchases).  Click Purchased under QUICK LINKS.  On the Purchased screen, you can find and download previous purchases.  It may not be available for audiobook purchases.
    After the iPod has the content, you should probably delete everything you downloaded in the computer's iTunes library.

  • Can't backup macbook pro to time capsule

    I have backed up IMAC to my time capsule no problems but when trying to back up my macbook pro it wont do it. The macbook pro sees the time capsule but once time machine commences you get error mesage advising problem encountered as macbook pro and time capsule not on same network?
    Any ideas?

    Are you connected to the TC by wireless?
    Are you running Lion? Try using ethernet and turn off wireless.. what happens??

  • MacBook Pro and Time Capsule after adding new wireless router

    I have a MacBook Pro and Time Capsule (which functions wirelessly to router and computer). I added a new wireless router (netgear, not my idea) and had to change name of wireless network. Now Time Capsule flashes amber and does not show up in Airport Utility.
    Do I have to set up Time Capsule from scratch? If so, if you can aim me to directions I won't have to waste tech support's time.
    My additional question on a similar vein: I also have a Time Capsule (second time capsule) which is plugged into the wireless router using ethernet cable for use with a windows notebook running windows 7 which backs up wirelessly. Do I have to change anything on this Time Capsule (second Time Capsule) as a result of change in name of network (I've already adjusted computer to connect to network)?

    Hi DD,
    If you don't get answers here, try posting in the Time Capsule forum (http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1253) and/or the Time Machine forum (http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1342).

  • Facebook problems with new macbook pro.

    Facebook problems with new macbook pro. I can't publish photo albums to timeline. I can't share items onto timeline. Photos I'm tagged in don't appear on my timeline. Any help?

    Yes! Been living in a hellish nightmare since Sept-Oct. Unlike you, however, Apple has been of no help. They say the iPad is unhackable, plist and crash reports are none of my business and who understands them anyway, their route tracing apps are probably not reliable. The best they could do was wipe the iPad clean. Lost photos they said would be in the cloud....
    Almost immediately was back in somebody's VPN, their remote controller, video, audio, working. Got the purple buddy for the first time today. I have been invaded, my iPad no longer feels like my own, I have lost thanksgiving, Christmas, new year trying to track down the invaders, signed up for a Cisco course, set/reset passwords.
    I don't know who else to contact... Or what next to do.
    I've read similar frustration in other posts, scattered around the support communities. Yours is the only one that has worked toward a solution.
    How did you get anyone at apple to look at your logs and acknowledge there is a problem?
    Would be happy for a suggestion on how to proceed. Already been the apple store genius and tech on phone route.

  • I have chosen to fil migrate from old ibook to new MacBook Pro using Time Machine after establishing admin account. I now have two admin. accounts and wish to delete the later one and transfer files manually. I am worried I will loose both accounts. ??

    Use the Office for Mac and ignore using Parallels for that. If you have PC only apps you have to run that are MS Windows only then consider Parallels. Just transfer your main PC, using Migration Assistant.  If you don't know how then simply read over Pondini's article called Lion or Mountain Lion Setup Assistant tips and look for the section on migrating from a PC. Millions have done what you are about to, it's far from leading edge these days, if you go to an Apple Store to purchase they will offer this as a service, something you might be interested in.

  • How to use my time capsule on my new macbook pro retina (time machine error)

    Hello all,
    I've been using my old mac for a while with my time capsule, but recently I bought the new macbook pro retina and I wanted to use the time capsule as the backup disk on the new one. However, whenever I try to run the backup, a message appears "The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/XXX’s MacBook.sparsebundle” is already in use."
    I wanted to override the settings so that the new macbook will use the time capsule for its backup disk instead of the old one, as I will no longer be using it.
    I was wondering if anyone had this problem before and if anyone know how I can solve it?
    Thank you

    You could delete the old backup from your old laptop? If you need to keep it then you need to rename that folder so that your new macbook can creatie its own file in the same name.

    Ryan

  • New Macbook Pro Restore Time Machine backup?

  • A series of recent problems with new MacBook Pro

    Hi,
    I bought a new MacBook Pro last May.  The spec is:
    Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013
    Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
    I installed Yosemite in November (I think) and the Mac has been giving problems ever since.  I'm not sure whether the problems are related to this installation, but I did not change anything else prior to the problems starting.
    When I boot up my Mac, a message appears: "Finder was not shut down correctly. Reopen all windows from last session?" 
    This is inaccurate since I shut down the Mac correctly every evening.
    Safari used to load pages quickly, but now when I first open it, it takes about a minute to open a page.  Once it's running, it takes approximately 10 seconds to load a page.  The spinning beachball appears regularly and Safari often quits.
    Mail Rules are also operating differently.  Whenever I created a new rule, prior to November, the rule would automatically have the name Rule [last rule + 1} i.e. if the last rule I created was Rule 41, the new rule would be called Rule 42.  However, now all rules are called Rule 2 (I know that I can change this).  This isn't a huge issue, I'm just mentioning it in case it helps to solve the problem.
    Another occasional problem that has happened approximately three times is that applications freeze.  I can still move the cursor around the screen but I cannot click on anything or take an action within an application.
    I would be grateful if you could advise me on this, please.
    Many thanks,
    F.

    Your computer is insured for one year from date of purchase. You paid for that coverage.
    If at all possible take your computer to an Apple store and have a "genius" look at it.
    You should make an appointment: google "Apple genius bar appointment" and proceed from there.

  • Hard drive problems on new macbook pro

    I have a brand new macbook pro with very few applications and music and the "Other" section of my hard drive is 80/120GB? Can I reduce this? If so how?

    First, your problem has nothing to do with Time Machine. Don't turn it off.
    ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    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). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders. It may take some minutes for ODS to list all the files.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
    When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

  • How can i connect macbook pro to time capsule via ethernet

    I just purchased a Time Capsule to backup my MacBook Pro.  I tried to back up the files via wifi but it was taking forever.  I tried connecting the Time Capsule to the MacBook via an ethernet cable but it won't recognize it.  Any suggestions?

    When you plug in by ethernet, make sure you plug into a LAN port on the TC... ie one marked.. <...>
    Make sure the connectivity led goes on.. tiny light on the port itself.
    On the MBP turn off wireless.
    Make sure ethernet is set to auto .. check its status in network preferences.
    Finally press and hold the reset button for 10sec to reset the TC.. that usually brings them back to life if it is acting up.
    What OS on the MBP?? Lion and ML have issues finding the TC.

  • Import photos from old powerbook to new macbook pro with time machine

    Today I received a new macbook pro from Apple because my powerbook g4 was beyond repair. I would like to import my iPhoto library from my time machine backup to the new computer. I have opened up iPhoto and then time machine but it is only showing me today, not what's been backed up on the harddrive. Can anyone tell me what to do to focus it to what was backed up, not just today?
    Thank you so much for your help.

    In System Preferences, Sharing, is the Computer Name of the new MacBook the same as the old PB? If not, right-click the Time Machine icon in the dock and choose +Browse Other Time Machine disks+. It should be obvious where to go from there.

  • Transfer photos and music to a new macbook pro using time machine

    Help!  I backed up my old macbook pro to an external drive using time machine.  I want to transfer all of the photos and music to my new macbook pro, but it says I don't have permission.  I can't get permission from the old mac because it won't turn on!  I brought it to the genius bar and they couldn't turn it on either.  They suggested I take it to Staples to get the files off.

    Julie,
    Probably because you used a different account name than you had on the old one. Create a new account with the same name you had when you created the backup and run Migration Assistant. Migration Assistant is in Applications / Utitlities and you create the user by clicking the Apple icon, then System Preferences, Users & Groups.
