Time Capsule - can you recover deleted files?

I've been using my time capsule as a external hard drive to store some files, I have recently purchased a mirrored external hard drive to store them on, and in the transfer some of the files that were stored on the Time Capsule have gotten deleted, prior to being fully transfered. Is there a way to run a recovery software on the time capsule?

No, you cannot do anything as the disk is a network drive.. you have to remove the disk and plug it into the Mac using a USB to Sata holder for instance.. and use the recovery software there.

  • Can you recover deleted files which were stored on an external HD after emptying the trash on the Imac using Time Machine.

    Hello - I had deleted files off of my external HD which I thought would not affect my Itunes library... Unfortunately I was incorrect in my assumption.  Additionally, I empty the trash as I was hoping to regain storage space for the external HD.  My question is, can i restore these files now that the trash has been emptied?  I do have a regular back-up running on a Time Capsule, however when I chose the ext HD and enter into the time machine to restore it will not allow me to locate any files on the external HD?? 
    Help!!!  

    Is Time Machine configured to backup the external disk drive?
    It doesn't sound like it is. Which means that they is no way to get anything from that EDD from TM.
    Your only alternative now is file recovery software. For a review on such software, try http://data-recovery-software-review.toptenreviews.com/mac-recovery-software/

  • Can you recover deleted files

    I mistakenly deleted files and emptied trash - can these files be recovered ?

    Stop using the drive.
    Get a spare drive to recover files to.
    make sure you have TimeMachine or another method for archive file history and backup
    if you must, install Mac OS on another drive to work from, truthfully not having an emergency working backup system should be a must for many reasons. A good clone program is a life system saver.
    Now you can check the demo of Data Rescue 3 and see what it finds.  Buy it ($99) to actually recover files to the spare drive you got out or went out and bought.
    And do use Carbon Copy Cloner for your drives, along with TimeMachine in the future if not already.

  • HT201317 can you recover deleted photos in iCloud?

    Can you recover deleted photos in iCloud?

    If you mean photos removed from photo stream, unfortunately no.  If you mean photos deleted from your camera roll, they are supposed to be included in your iCloud backup (although unfortunately not all users report success in getting them back).  If you made a backup while these photos were still in your camera roll, you may get them back by restoring this backup to your phone.  (Note, restoring a backup will revert all settings and data on your phone to those contained in the backup, not just photos.)

  • HT3275 Time Capsule can no longer delete oldest files

    My Time Machine/Capsule always used to delete the oldest files to make room when the Capsule needed more space.  Recently it has stopped doing this and only gives me the options to 'change to a larger drive' or 'delete some file to make room'.
    Could the problem be because I've recently upgraded my OS from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8?
    Please advise me what I can do.

    Yes, when you update the OS it cannot auto delete old files.. Good to see you are updating from 4th to 3rd last OS version.. I think some people consider the latest greatest OS to be essential. whereas on older computer the older OS may be better.
    You can do exactly what is suggested.. buy a new external drive and use that.. External drive plugged into the iMac is no problem and much faster and better than TC.
    Or you can plug the USB into the TC and archive the old backups if you want to keep them.. erase the drive of the TC then start again. A clean new backup is a good idea anyway.

  • Can I recover deleted file stored on Time Capsue

    I have been using my time capsule to store movie files, and I inadvertantly deleted the folder.  Is there any way to reover these files. There is no backup
    Thanks

    If there have been no backups at all since the time that the files were deleted, you might be able to retrieve them with a commercial program like Disk Warrior.
    http://data-recovery-software-review.toptenreviews.com/mac-recovery-software/dis kwarrior-review.html
    Other options include having a data restoration firm try to retrieve the files for you, but this is a very expensive proposition....with no guarantees, of course.
    If any backups have run since the file deletion, some or all of the data has probably already been overwritten, or Time Machine has moved files around on the disk, making it next to impossible to get at the right data.

  • After I back everything up to my time capsule, can I just delete it off my computer then to make more storage room?

    I just did a full back up to my time capsule. There are a ton of pictures that I can delete to make room for more stuff on my computer. If they're all backed up to the time capsule, am I able to delete them from my computer then or will they delete from the time capsule as well? Thanks!

    The following sentence contains a simple concept that many users cannot seem to grasp.
    If you delete any file from your Mac....then you have no backup.
    The file on the Time Capsule has just become your "master" or "original"
    What will happen when....not if....the Time Capsule has a problem?
    So, while you can delete the files on your Mac, I would only do this with a data that I could afford to lose....since at some point, you will lose it.

  • WiFi no longer working with new Time Capsule-can you help please?

    Hi all,
    Just received my new Time Capsule (TC). It was a little problematic setting up, but probably due to my now choosing to increase my security from WEP to WPA as the TC set-up assistant suggests. Since then, I have had numerous problems getting my other computers and now my iPhone to connect with WiFi.
    The problem is that despite entering all the new settings and WPA passwords for my connection with the TC, the iPhone will either momentarily recognize and go to wifi or simply stay on Edge.
    On the former, with wifi active, as soon as I go to iTunes, Safari or check email, it reverts to Edge. On the latter, despite resetting, entering password, or tapping Settings and selecting my wifi connection, it will NOT connect and stays on Edge.
    (Now, I'm on Edge! I'm bummed that with new hardware I have new problems that didn't exist before!)
    Can someone who had this same problem tell me how they resolved it.
    Here's the one clue I have, but would rather not resort to: When I first set up the TC, I had it on WEP with a WDS Network, and everything was working great and FAST! Now that I have increased the security—I will be backing up 3 computers to the TC—my iPhone and other computers seem to have intermittent or no wifi connection as a result.)

    Irving Gonzales,
    If your computers are 802.11N capable, you might want to try an advanced setup that might help your Time Machine speeds some. I have not personally tested it, so it is just a personal theory at this point.
    First, in a mixed environment the 802.11N clients all get slowed down.
    First, configure the TC for 802.11N only.
    Second, connect the Airport Express via ethernet to the Time Capsule
    Third, configure the Airport Express for bridged mode (doesn't give out IP addresses), and for its own wireless network with a different name than the Time Capsule.
    Have any 802.11b/g clients like the iPhone join the Airport Express' network.
    Thank you,
    Nathan C.

  • Time Capsule can you change the signal frequencies because it is causeing errors in other things that we have wireless cameras?

    Can you change the frequenices settings on the time capsule and the mac pro to receive it? Because it is causing errors with other wireless cameras that cannot be changed.

    Its ok. Thank you for replying. I meant router. lol. I have another question... I have looked at the back to my mac... so you are saying if I travel and take my mac book and use back to my mac I can access it?????
    Well here is the issue, as I said, my husband is deployed and he is the one that will be trying to access it. I have the mac book here with me. He has an iphone,ipad, and a windows based laptop with him... Is there a way for him to access it with these devices, to include the windows laptop?
    If all of this works can I load pics and movies on it and him be able to access them and then watch the movies?
    I appreciate your help. I am not a ******* but I just need help.
    Thanks so much!!!

  • How can I recover deleted files

    The Issue I'm Experiencing, In Brief...
    Somehow I discarded a great deal of files from my HD, into my Mac's trash can.
    Furthermore to add grave insult to minor injury, I proceeded to empty that same trash can.
    Though I wouldn't know, I do feel slightly hopeful that a DIY remedy - complex, vastly
    unkown yet free of charge - exists...that a few bright Mac- enthusiasts know of such a solution
    and that but still a few of those same beings are willing to help me out with such an issue.
    I thank you sincerely for so much as taking the time to read about my screw-up.

    Hey - this is my very first 'messaging' experience.
    Late last night I was prompted to seek help - world wide, today, with my new found problem.
    Wanting to make significant hard drive space available I managed to exceed my intended goal. Wanting to download and install various 'live packs' - utilized in the process of music production via software created by the Ableton company - I knew that I'd need to 'throw out' about 30 GB - more if I could.
    Anyway, having spent the time downloading more than a dozen such Live Packs...and installing them thereafter...it didn't take to long for me to begin pondering what could have happened to ALL my created tracks, instruments, etc.
    My best guess at this point is that somehow when I threw huge groupings of files into the trash - parts of what I had intended to get rid of possibly came to be attached somewhere/somehow to the very files which I thought to be most safe and sound.
    Realizing the extent of what had occurred - it took some time to know for certain I had thrown away ALL of my created files - I began to imagine going about fixing my brand new, painful problem.
    Though I am far from being computer savy, etc. - I have this notion that if only I were more aware of my mac's abilities, etc. I could perhaps bring my lost files back from the dead.
    Late last night, I learned that there are software products out there to solve just this problem - but, being unemployed I am unable to pay the $80 asked for.
    I've learned that such programs are free of charge for Windows customers, but not Mac owners...they say it's much more difficult to fet back files which have been placed in the trash and then thrown out on a Mac - hence the fee I suppose.
    Regardless of everything, I
    DO hold faith in the possibility that someone (even many, perhaps) not only knows how to go about correcting my issue, but knows how to go about teaching me such a process (i.e. YouTube, etc.), and wants to be responsible for the teaching of this remedy free of charge.
    Maybe I'm completely out to lunch and the remedy involved is both incredibly difficult, without guarantee, and only possible through $80 plus fee.
    My personality enjoys others, however, this process of sending my question 'out there' for an answer comprises a brand new experience...and I hope that those who come into contact with my writing are neither left confused nor irritated.
    I greatly look foward to the possibility of being helped out by someone who is able and willing to help another person.
    I look forward to the chance to hear back from another person, not a salesman or even an existing friend of mine own - I imagine I would enjoy being helped with my current mishap by another human being who wants to help me...how could such an experience not feel pretty decent - I mean an interaction free of title, roles, role-playing...pretension ad nauseum (as found anywhere in Western 'civiliation').
                                       [oops! perhaps way too much writing...then again, it is a personal first...]
    Thank you sincerely to anyone who should so much as read my stated issue!!

    I have no knowledge of any way to recover trashed filed except with a paid piece of software. I have used Data Rescue 3 with excellent results, but it's $100.
    I don't know of any free software that can retrieve trashed data.
    Sorry,

  • HT4528 how can you recover deleted photos from the iPhone hard drive?

    Is there anyway possible i can recover my deleted photos from my iphone hard drive for free?

    You can't for two reasons: First, the iPhone doesn't have a hard drive. Second, there is no Trash folder, so once something is deleted it is gone forever. If you were foresighted enough to sync your phone regularly the photos should still be in the app you used for managing photos from digital cameras on your computer, and they are also in the iPhone backup on your computer. If you enabled Photo Stream they are also in iCloud. But if you didn't take advantage of any of these backup options you are out of luck.

  • Help! Can you retrieve deleted files at all?

    I'm running photoshop CS2 on a mac osx 10.5.1. I accidentally dragged a photoshop image i was working on into the trash and deleted it. Is there anywhere in photoshop or on my mac where info on this file may be saved? I really would love it back. Thanks!

    What ever happened to programs like 'UnErase"? If files are deleted and the drive has not been written to, then those files are still there, with just a 'flag' at the file's header marking it as invisible and ok to be overwritten (the result of emptying the trash.) A program like 'UnErase' would simply go through flagged files marked for deletion and make them visible and restored again.
    Too bad no one has kept up with keeping that simple utility available to all of us. It should be a part of the standard apple toolkit.
    Of course, there is the better way to operate, to prevent sobs and buckets of tears, and that is to make backups. Get an external drive and slop everything over to it at regular intervals with copies of everything you are working on that you do not want to lose forever.

    Basics of File Recovery
    Files in Trash
    If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location.  OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
    If you empty the Trash the files are gone. If a program does an immediate delete rather than moving files to the Trash, then the files are gone.  Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When files are deleted only the directory entries, not the files themselves, is modified. The space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage, but the files are still on the drive. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.
    General File Recovery
    If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro.  Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.  Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk.  Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
    Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.
    Unfortunately, after such a long time, if the drive has been in use then the space occupied by the deleted files has most likely been overwritten by new files making the old ones unrecoverable.
