Q: Could you transfer a USB TM backup to the capsule (to save time)

Cut & paste? ....no?
Trying to avoid the initial wireless or ethernet backup.
Hope there's a workaround for the initial backup as I'm a very impatient fellow ; )

Mac, I've heard that the freeware app iBackup can make a backup/move a Time Machine backup, but honestly I would have to say I'd recommend not going this route. The whole idea of Time Machine and Time Capsule is to have a tried-and-true backup/restore solution that you can bank on. The minute you veer off the path of tried-and-true, it's not something you can bank on.
I recommend waiting until you'll be away from the computer a while (at night, etc), plug in a CAT6 networking cable, and let it run. That's what we did with my girl's MacBook Pro, and her initial backup was done long before morning. Using a wired connection, our backup throughput on three machines has averaged over 10GB per hour.
You can still use the machine for light duty stuff (surfing, word processing, spreadsheets, etc) without any noticeable slowdown even on an older computer (my PowerBook G4's running along nicely as its initial backup is being done right now).
Hope that info helps.

  • HT1229 How do you transfer photos to external backup and keep the photos in events with event name or with description name. Each time I have tried to transfer them they only transfer with a jpg number so you don't know what photos are what.

    How do you transfer photos to external backup and keep the photos in events with event name or with description name. Each time I have tried to transfer them they only transfer with a jpg number so you don't know what photos are what. When you have several thousand photos it is difficult to determined what is what.
    Why does iPhoto have the ability to put photos in events and to give them descriptions if it doesn't transfer this info with the photo. I want to back my photos up to an external drive.

    The simplest way to achieve what you want is to back up the iPhoto Library. That will get everything.
    You sem to be exporting from iPhoto to the Finder. The Finder does not have the same organisation capabilities as iPhoto. If you're going to do that you need to understand some of the differences between the two.
    Event Name will become  Folder Name.
    'Description Name' I guess is the Title you give the Photo
    Jpeg Number is the File Name assigned by your camera.
    So: File -> Export
    Set your Kind to Jpeg
    Select your preferred Quality
    Check the Boxes at 'Titles and Descriptions' and Location Information
    Under FIlename select 'Use Title'
    Click on Export. In the Next Window choose a New Folder as your export destination and then Name that as you prefer

  • HT4137 I am trying to follow the steps suggested in To restore you device from a previous backup, unfortunately the device is appearing in the list of devices. The sync option under devices is not also active. How can I resolve this?

    I was trying to setup a new ipad. After resetting and erasing the content on the ipad, I would like to restore the ipad from the old backup. Unfortunately the device is not appearing in the list of devices. The sync option under devices is not also active. How else can I restore the ipad?

    Sorry, you can't extract those photos from the old device unless you restore the new phone from that backup.
    You could of course use a third party software to extract those pics but it will cost you.
    If you still have the old phone import those pics to your computer and then sync those photos to your new phone via itunes.

  • Can you share a USB hard drive over the network through an Airport Express?

    After asking a few individuals at my local Apple Store, I have been consistantly told that I can plug in a usb hard drive into the bottom of my airport express and share it over the network.
    However, after making sure my airport express has the latest firmware (6.3) and even donwloading and installing the airport disk utility I still am not having any luck getting my HFS (journaled) usb 2.0 hard drive to be visible on the network.
    I have also noticed that when following the instructions on this apple support document (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AirportUtility/5.1/en/ap2108.html) that when I get to step 3, the option to click disks is grayed out. I assume this supports my theory that the airport express won't share hard drives, can anyone confirm?
    Am I doing something wrong? Or were the reps at my store mistaken and the only hardware that can share a hard drive is the airport extreme not express?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the swift reply.
    Continuing my investigation I started to come to the conclusion you just mentioned. I am surprised none of the staff at my store realized this. However, at least I know now.
    The basis for me looking to this is... With leopard on the eve of its release, I wanted to get a large network accessible storage solution that would allow my wife's and I's Macbook pros to use time machine on the network drive when we were at home. Since we rarely use our laptops while sitting at a desk connected to an external drive, I figured this would be a great idea and started to look into various NAS solutions.
    Surprisingly, most generic (netgear, western digital) network drives require you use proprietary software to connect to them, and are only compatible with windows xp. After seeing the options the airport extreme opens up in terms of network storage I figured it would be the best bet.
    Do you have any other suggestions besides getting an airport extreme? I would rather not have to buy a full blown mac that I have to leave on 24/7 to share the drives. Or do you see any possible pitfalls to this idea? Such as, would time machine forget to use the network drive after a while since it wouldn't always be available to it when away from home?

  • Could you check our source? (To determine the PR type and number range)

    Hello.
    We use SRM Server5.5 with Classic Scenario.
    We will use the BADI BBP_SC_TRANSFER_BE to determine the PR type and number range according to your recommend.
    We have two PR type in R/3.
    1) KGPR
    2) KTR1
    As you know that shopping cart has no type. So we add customer field to mapping to R/3 PR type and this field has two values.
    1)     PR01: mapping to KGPR
    2)     PR02: mapping to KTR1
    We will use the method GROUP_RQ to determine the PR type.
    If customer field is PR01, PR type is determined KGPR
    If customer field is PR002, PR type is determined KTR1.
    To determine the PR number range, we will use the method GET_NUMBER_OR_RANGE.
    If PR type is KGPR, Choose the No key 12
    If PR type is KTR1, Choose the No key 16.
    Configuration step:
    1.     Maintain the PR number range in SRM.
    No key: 12  (for KGPR) internal NR
    No range: 2520000000 – 2529000000
    No key: 16 (for KTR1) internal NR
    No range: 2560000000 – 2569000000
    2.     Maintain the PR number range in R/3
    No key: 12  (for KGPR) Ext NR
    No range: 2520000000 – 2529000000
    No key: 16 (for KTR1) Ext NR
    No range: 2560000000 – 2569000000
    3.     Assign the PR number range to PR type in R/3
    KGPR – 12 (EXT)
    KTR1 – 16 (EXT)
    4.     Maintain the attribute in SRM
    Document type in R/3
          Add KGPR and KTR1
    We developed this logic, but it’s not working.

  • Can you get an earlier iCloud backup ie the one before the most recent

    I restored my iPhone 4S from iTunes forgot to backup before.  I want to know if it is possible to restore my phone from an earlier iCloud backup as the last iCloud backup is now from after I restored it.  I didn't realise my error before it was to late!

    Yes, it's possible, as long as there really is such a backup in icloud.

    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your device.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

  • No more backup of the applications folder in Time Capsule

    I realized that time machine didn't backup my applications. It worked OK 2 times after I setup the new 3TB time capsule but then it did stop end of July. I just realized it yesterday as i couldn't access a backup of the applications folder from last week.
    Any suggestions? Is it a known problem

    Yes, there is a known bug where some parts of the OS are not being backed up.
    See D10 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html

  • Can you transfer music from one app to the same app on a different device?

    I have an app called HCO playlist and it lets you download the current playlist and as the playlist changes you cant redownload the previous playlist but you keep the songs you downloaded and on my iPod 4th gen. I was wodering if there was anyway if i could transfer the songs from the app on my iPod to the same app on my iPad mini.

    Only if that app allows that option. There is nothing natively on the iPod to do that.

  • How can you open a project file backup if the main project won't load?

    This has only started happening in the last couple of weeks. I'm on Logic 10.0.7, OSX 10.8.5. On one particular project, it will be loading seemingly normally, then it just disappears with no crash log, nothing.
    Presumably there is some sort of corruption in the project file.
    In the old pre package days, you would just go to the project file backups folder and pick a previous one. Bingo, you have only lost a little bit of work.
    Now when I show package contents, the project file backups folder has project data files that won't open logic, and are invisible until you have logic open. Which I can't do.
    Rue the day I selected the package option rather than folder.
    Any suggestions?
    Or to put the question another way, how can I convert the project data in the project file backups folder to a file that Logic can recognise and open?

    Having his install the trial is the way to go. Working between AI versions is a pain and as you are finding out almost impossible with 5 versions between the collaborators.

  • HT3500 how do you transfer data from an external hard drive to a mac time capsule

    I am trying to use my Mac Time Capsule as a wireless external hard drive for my MacBook Pro, so how do I transfer the data from a toshiba external hard drive, to my Mac Time Capsule?

    Drag and drop or copy and paste files just as you would do with any normal Finder operation.
    The Time Capsule is located under the SHARED heading in the Finder.
    Click on the Time Capsule icon and double click the folder that appears representing the drive....named Data....unless you have changed the name......to mount the drive on the desktop.
    Drag/drop or copy/paste files to the icon on the desktop or to the open window there.
