TC 500GB died today - how do I get my data off of it?

My TC has been working great until today when the power died. Tried unplugging/plugging it back in, but still dead. Currently I have it unplugged and will wait a few hours before I plug it back in hoping life will flow back into it.
If not, how do I get my data off of it?

Either remove the hard disk.. there are plenty of sites about replacing the hard disk in the TC.. if you do it carefully,, heating the rubber foot really hot with hair dryer or hot air gun,, then you can simply peel it back and undo the 10 small Philips head screws.. get a USB to sata converter at local computer store.. a bare one is less than $20.. a decent box might be $40..
Or repair the TC.. in the end that is cheap.. you can get it repaired or do it yourself if you have a few clues.. and then sell it on ebay once you recover your data and wipe the drive. The repair is cheaper than sale price.
Just type in google Time Capsule repair.

This user tip should be helpful too. It refers to the iPhone, but it's equally valid for iPods as well…

I have a Mac Pro OS 10.7.5 and have a DVD+R disc with files on it, but it ejects the disk after about 10 seconds--what to do? How can I get the data off this disc? I can see it has been already burned, so files are on there?

Try cleaning the lens and see if that will restore functionality to the DVD drive. Use a DVD lens cleaning disk, if you have a can of compressed air, shoot some into the slot or wrap a fine microfiber cloth (eyeglasses cleaning cloth) around a business card and insert it gently inside the slot.
If no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and get a free diagnosis from them.

How do i get the date off the photo?

On my iPad the photos look great (no date appears), but when I email them or upload them to Facebook they get a date stamped on them. Is this a setting I can change? I don't want the date printed on the image- it ruins the whole picture:

What app are you using? I don't see the option to add a date in my photos app, so it's likely that it's a setting in whatever photo app you're using.

My computer has been stolen - how do i get the data off my phone onto my new computer?

You can do this with 3rd party software such as Touch Copy (pc or mac) or PhoneView (mac).

How can I get my data off my MacBook Pro hard drive?

So initially, water was spilled on my MacBook Pro keyboard. I promptly shut it down, turned it upside down, mopped up the water and let it dry out for a day near a heater. The next day it worked fine and continued to do so for about 2 more days until it decided it would no longer start up. Right now it can't make it to the login screen at start up, it just shuts down, the same thing happens in safe mode as well. So, since I haven't backed up my data recently, I was wondering if there was a way I could rescue my data from the hard drive. I did take it in to the Genius Bar, but they couldn't help me since it wouldn't start up in safe mode. Is there a way around this like hooking up an alternate monitor or am I just screwed?

Once you do look for home folder and copy everything to the other mac or another external drive.

My iphone battery died and on charging the phone it asked me to connect to itunes and restore the phone.
If i restore the phone how can i get my data back and how can i check when i last backed up my phone

If you have been syncing regularly as the iphone is designed, then you can sync the data back.
Regardless you will have to restore the iphone.

HT3819 laptop died, how do I get my itunes off of it?

my laptop died, how do I get my itunes off of it?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion. Have you failed to do this?
If so, you can try removing the drive from your computer and putting it in an enclosure to see if it is still good and can be used.

-Transfer iTunes purchases to the compuer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discusssed here:
Copy music
- Connect the Ipd to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup
Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not contain synced media like apps and music.

I had to get a new iphone today how do i get all my apps that i paid for back

i had to get a new iphone today how do i get all the apps and ringtone tht i paid for back

All of your apps and media should be in iTunes on your computer.
If they are, plug the phone in and sync what you want to the device.
If they are not, you can redownload Apps from the app store at no charge.
Also, if you have a backup of your old device, you could restore that to the new device and it will put everything back.
You do sync your device with your computer regularly, correct?????
