Should I compress the data in the time capsule?

should I compress the data in the time capsule?

Thank you. I think an error came up while it was trying, but now I do have a .zip file in the TM, wonder if I should delete it. not sure why I created it. lol. it is probably just taking up more space, what do you think?

    How can i change the data from one Time Capsule to another?

    Do you mean copy it?  If so, see #18 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions  You'll need section 2 there.
    If you mean something else, please clarify.

  • How do I restore the data from my time capsule to the new mac book pro

    How do I restore dat from time capsule to mynew macbook pro?

    Take a look at Migration Assistant, in the /Applications/Utilities folder.  You can use a Time Machine backup to restore your data files.

  • I Can't access the data on my Time Capsule

    Everytime I try to access my data from my MacBook Pro running 10.8, my finder window closes.  I tried attaching my laptop using an ethernet cable and resetting the time capsule, but my problem persists.
    Any advice?

    Did you copy the stuff across before you upgraded to ML?? Or did you do this from ML?
    Did you do a full factory reset? That might help.. also do not use both wireless and wired connection at the same time.
    There are some issues with ML recognising the TC .. but I refuse to upgrade.. to such a poor networking OS.
    You might have to do some devious stuff to get at your files.. Like connect it to a Mac still running a decent networking OS.

  • How can I access the data on my time capsule remotely?

    I see the drive under the shared tab in Finder, but I cannot open it.  I am at school and need to access documents that are stored on my time capsule at home.  When I set everything up, I enabled "sharing over WAN" and everything and set up the password access. The software is up to date. How can I get into my drive? I tried logging into icloud.com, but the only apps I see are the standard contacts, notes, etc. HELP!!!!!!!

    You need to follow the BTMM via icloud instructions.
    http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/back-to-my-mac/
    There are plenty of other ways to do it.. but issues to do with Apple not using a dynamic DNS client so if your ISP does not allocate you a static public IP there is no way to find it, if the public ip rotates as they are designed to do hourly or daily.
    Do a google search, remote access time capsule..
    Or use the more like this on the right hand side... there are plenty of posts and even youtube video which go right through it.
    BTW your school system may simply block the port.. if I was a school IT admin.. I would. You are dragging files across to the internal school network bypassing the firewall.. that is unacceptable risk to the whole school system.

  • 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?)

  • How to get only the date without the time in the footer of a printout?

    Is there a way to get only the date without the time in the footer of a printout?

    As far as I can tell, there's no built-in option to get the date printed without the time. It's hardcoded in a C++ file.
    As a workaround, you can enter custom text for the footer, but it would need to be updated every time the date changed. I can think of a couple ways to automate that:
    * An add-on (but I'm not aware of any add-on for this)
    * External process to push a new date into prefs.js, a settings file that stores your header/footer preferences, among others (but Firefox should be closed when you update this file, and it will be read when you restart)
    Not easy enough, I know.

  • Does time machine back up the data in the PC part of my intel MacBook?

    I'm backing up my MacBook to an external hadr drive using Time Machine in the apple part of my partioned MacBook.
    Does time machine back up the data in the PC part of my intel MacBook at the same time or do I have to do a separate backup for it? Does it have to be on a different external hard drive?

    TM only backs up the BSD portion of your HD.
    If you partition your external HD you can have a FAT32 or NTFS partition for Winders and another for HFS+.
    Naturally if you choose to repartition the drive, you should backup everything on it or you may lose it.

  • Problem while refreshing the data for the second time using excel services in sharepoint 2013...

    Hi,
    I have migrated my Sharepoint from 2010 to 2013.I am able to get the data at the first time of refresh when I click on refresh for the second time I am getting the empty the sheet.
    below find the flow of refresh
    First Refresh
    On Click of refresh open the workbook with excel services and return the session id.
    Using that session I am invoking RefrehAsync method of excel services
    After refresh completed I am setting the calculation of workbook as automatic(to calculate the formulas) using the same session id
    After setting the calculation as Automatic I am setting the calculation type as full(recalculate) using the same session id.
    Now I am able to see the data
    Second Refresh
    After clicking on refresh instead of opening the workbook I am using the session id(already opened workbook) and setting the calculation type as manual
    I am following the same process from refresh(RefreshAsync) as I have followed in first refresh.
    This time my formulas are not getting calculated because of that I am not able to see the data.
    Could you please let me know that am I missing anything here?
    Is this know issue in Sharepoint2013 excel services as same code is working fine with Sharepoint2010.
    If I close the workbook(session id null) and opens(new session id) for all the refreshes it is working and I am able to see the data.
    Thanks,

    I am able to see the data for the second refresh  if I change the data source.If I use the same data source which is used in the first refresh I am not getting the data.Excel services will contact the cubes and calculate the formulas in my workbook.
    Could you please let me know what could be the problem at second refresh while contacting the same data source with same session id?
    Please help me asap.
    Thanks,

  • Does the data transfer used in the back up in time capsule included in the data allowance from my service provider?

    Is the data transfer used in the backup with airport time capsule included in the data allowance with my service provider?

    I am using Ethernet cable to connect TC to the modem. I am only backing up my mac book air within range of the TC. So I guess it will be OK from your reply. As a trial I did interrupt the back up by turning off the TC, disconnecting the Ethernet cable, turning TC back on. The mac would not connect wirelessly with the TC without the Ethernet connection.
    It is not using ISP .. absolutely for sure. Well 99.999%.. absolute tends to be only in maths.
    But you did the test wrongly.. I said to disconnect the modem.. during the backup.. not turn off the TC.. obviously once interrupted the TC will not work again until everything is plugged in.. but it will work even bridged for a short time.. just unplug the WAN port from the modem.
    The test is moot now.. as I can give you a 99.999% promise it is not using ISP.

  • I'm doing a scan around a line by sampling data 360 degrees for every value of z(z is the position on the line). So, that mean I have a double for-loop where I collect the data. The problem comes when I try to plot the data. How should I do?

    Jonas,
    I think what you want is a 3D plot of a cylinder. I have attached an example using a parametric 3D plot.
    You will probably want to duplicate the points for the first theta value to close the cylinder. I'm not sure what properties of the graph can be manipulated to make it easier to see.

  • I have Time Machine that I used to back up my old computer. It was running snow leopard. My MacBook died, so I got a new one which is running Lion.  how can I restore the data from the time capsule to my new Mac?

    I have Time Machine that I used to back up my old computer. It was running snow leopard. My MacBook died, so I got a new one which is running Lion.  how can I restore the data from the time capsule to my new Mac?

    In technical support, sometimes you have to make educated guesses. I'm sorry that you were offended.
    iTunes does prompt when it is going to erase a device, and the message is clear.
    She said in her message that she was able to successfully sync the old ipad. This indicated to me that itunes wiping the data was not an issue, because either it had been setup at the apple store (in which case it doesn't actually wipe the ipad despite saying it will*) (*based on a single case I saw), or because the itunes media folder was migrated.
    Furthermore, my solution was to tell her how to backup her ipad (by either doing it manually, or as a last resort, by deleting the corrupt backup -- that she couldn't access anyway.)
    I got that last part of the instructions from the "Taking Control of your iphone" book which I found samples of when I did a google search for "corrupted backup itunes".
    She marked this as a solution, so it worked for her.

  • I updated my iMac to Mountain Lion. All the files were deleted. I have Time Machine backups. When I restart the mac pressing Command R to restore from backup it shows the previous OS X (Leopard) beside the date of the backup. Will it go back if I restore?

    I updated my iMac to Mountain Lion. All the files were deleted. I have Time Machine backups. When I restart the mac pressing Command R to restore it from the backup it shows the previous OS X (Leopard) beside the date of the backup that I want to select. Will it go back to Leopard if I restore it from the backup?

    No, it won't revert to the prior OS X but you you may have third party apps installed that were compatible with Lion that may not be compatible with Mountain Lion.
