Time Capsule - Interrupted Copying of Files

I have a TC connected to a BT router using an ethernet cable. I started copying my iTunes library across, wirelessly, and it worked up to a point - the main problem now is that having copied around 10 GB of the 80 GB library, an error message appears (code no. 50), and the copying stops. I could presumably copy the library in 10 GB sections, but I suspect there is something basic that I haven't done, and hopefully someone will recognise the problem. Thanks in advance for any help.

I believe that this problem is resolved as I describe here:

Keep losing connection to Time Capsule while copying large files from Vista

I keep getting "Error 0x80070079: The semaphore timeout period has expired" while trying to copy large (1GB+) files from my Windows Vista Business 64 bits laptop (this OS is running on a MacBook Pro using BootCamp) wirelessly connected to a Time Capsule. The wireless connection to the Time Capsule is interrupted when this error occurs and then I can re-establish the connection. The problem seems to only occur when I copy large files or when I copy many files at once.

My time capsule erased all my files, is it possible to recover any of it?

My time capsule erased all my files, is it possible to recover any of it?

None of free or lower priced utilities will get the files back. Disk Warrior might be able to get into the drive.

If still no luck, you will need to look into having a professional data restoration service try to get the files.
Unfortunately, no guarantees with either approach above since Disk Utility was unable to repair things and the file structure is likely corrupted.
Good luck in your quest.

HT4437 how may I add files to time capsule apart from backup files?

how may I add files to time capsule apart from backup files?
I'm able to perform backup (time machine). May I add pictures, texts, movies...?
Thanks

not sure if this is a spc. appletv question or if you posted it in the wrong forum but there is no way
for an appletv to access files directly from an time capsule it can only! access a shared lib from itunes from a computer running and running itunes

Can I use the available space on Time Capsule to store media files?

I recently bought Time Capsule and set it up to do backups of my iMac (Snow Leopard).
Since, the Time Capsule has a 1TB HDD, I decided to use the Time capsule to store media files. However, when trying to resolve a Time Capsule issue with the Apple Care technician, he informed me that storing media files on Time Capsule is not recommended. He suggested buying an additional portable disk to store the media files. Wanted to confirm if this is truly the recommendation for Time Capsule.

The Time Capsule was designed for Time Machine backups and that is the recommended use for the device.
If you have plenty of space on the drive, there is probably no harm in using the drive for other data, but as space becomes tight, there is going to be struggle between Time Machine and other files regarding space allocation.
But if you are storing your media files on the Time Capsule disk.....how are you backing up these files?
The advantage in having a separate drive for your media files is that Time Machine will back up both your computer and the separate hard drive. Then you have backups for everything when....not if....a drive fails.

Is there any downside to using a reference type library if I use Time Capsule and will do file management only from within Aperture?

Have done a lot of reading to get prepared to convert to Aperture 3 and have this question regarding setting up my library type.
I'm not a professional -just a heavy user hobbyist.
It appears that the major factors in using reference style is to backup the images with Time Capsule and always do moves or deletes from within the Aperture application.
If my architecture matters here's what I have that may be involved in photo management and editing:
iMac (latest 27" high power version with lots of memory)
Internal 2TB HD where the library is stored
External (FireWire) 2TB HD where the images are stored
External (FireWire) 6TB HD backup drive
In the future an iPad for remote work on images (when/if available) and a Mac laptop (for same remote use)
I see major downside issues to letting the library manage my files - such as inaccessibility (or awkward accessibility) to the images for other programs, and performance issues when the library gets large (thousands of images or 100+ gb in size)
The chief complaints I've seen regarding using a reference mode is the broken link issues created if file management is done outside of Aperture (adds, deletes, moves of files) and the inability to use the Vault function for backup.
One feature that I imagine I'd like to have is maximum integration with Final Cut Pro X and that's one area I haven't seen much on and would be interested to hear about if that integration is affected with the choice of managed vs referenced library types. (I like to produce film clips that are combinations of pics and video and want to be set up so that is done in the easiest fashion when working in FCP X)
I'm sure I've not seen all sides of this issue and would like to see some discussion around this question.
Thanks to everyone contributing!

Goody, Goody, you hit a few of my favorite subjects! Herewith some comments, with the usual caveats - true to the best of my knowledge and experience, others may have different results, YMMV, and I could be wrong.
I run Aperture on two machines:
-- 2007 Mac Pro with 2x2.66 GHz Xeon, 21 GB of RAM, a 5770 GPU, and multiple HD. I have about 11,000 images, taking up 150 GB. (Many are 100 MB TIFF, scanned slides)
-- 2006 Mac Book Pro with 1 2.0 GHz Core Duo, 2 GB of RAM and a 240 GB SSD.
Two very different machines.
-- Aperture Libraries are all the same - Managed or Referenced. If Managed, then the Master image files are inside the Package, if Referenced, they are outside, and you can have any combination you want. Managed is easier, but Referenced is not hard if you are the least bit careful.
-- While the sheer size of an Aperture Library is not a big issue, the location on disk of the different components can have a tremendous impact on performance.
-- Solid State Drives (SSD) read and write faster than regular Hard Disks (HD) and, what is more important, empty HD read and write much faster than full HD.
-- Aperture speed requires a combination of RAM, CPU, graphics processing unit (GPU) speed, and disk speed. The more RAM you have, the less paging you will see. With enough RAM, the next bottle neck is CPU (speed and cores) and GPU speed. But even then you will still have to fetch an image (longer if you pull the full resolution Master, read and rewrite the Version file, and update the Preview and Thumbs.
So what works?
-- RAM, RAM, and more RAM. 4 GB will work, but you will page a bit. 8 GB is much faster. On my old MacPro the sweet spot was about 16 GB of RAM.
-- Keep your Library on your fastest (usually internal) drive. Keep that disk as unloaded as possible. How do you keep it unloaded? Either buy BIG, 1 TB+ or move your Masters off onto another disk. The good news here is that as Master files are written only once and never rewritten, speed of this disk, as opposed to the disk that holds the Library, is not important. There is a one second pause as the Master is read into memory and, if you have enough RAM, that is it - the Master will never be paged out. If, on the other hand, you do not have enough RAM, and you do a lot of adjusting at full resolution, then the speed of the disk that holds your Masters will become very important due to paging.
-- I found that I picked up a tiny bit of speed by keeping the Masters on a dedicated disk. Thus, in your configuration, if you can dedicate that 2 TB FW HD to your Masters, you should see very nice performance.
Final notes on backups and archives:
-- One conventional wisdom is that you should make an archive copy of every image file before or as you load them into your system. (Aperture in this case.) This archive is then never touched or deleted.
-- An alternative approach is that you do not keep such an archive, but only the images that you have in your Aperture Library. And when you delete from the Library, you no longer keep a copy anywhere.
I do the following:
-- Card to Aperture. Card is then kept at least 24 hours until all of my backups have run. (I use three - Time Machine, Clone, and off site.)
-- I do not keep archive copies. If I decide to delete a file, my only recourse is to recover it from Time Machine during the six month cycle of my Time Machine backups. Thereafter, it is lost.
There are merits to both approaches.
Hope this is clear, correct, and responsive to your needs.

How does Time Capsule handle the same files on multiple computers?

I'm a writer who works on my MacBook Pro, the family's desktop PC and soon hope to have my own Apple desktop.
Is it possible to have the most current document(s) available no matter which machine I'm on?
Does Time Capsule go to each computer, find the most recent version and back it up?
Does it even work with PCs?

Is it possible to have the most current document(s) available no matter which machine I'm on?
Sorry, but no.
Does Time Capsule go to each computer, find the most recent version and back it up?
Time Machine will backup any changes to each Mac hourly
Does it even work with PCs?
Only if you manually drag/drop or copy/paste PC files to the Time Capsule drive

Time Capsule - HFS+ Number of File Items Discrepancies

Hi hope someone can shed some light on this for me...
I've just moved from my Lacie NAS drive to a Time Capsule. Having copied everything over (423GB) its all copied over without any errors popping up. However... When viewing "info" of the folder in question there are 82,000 files on the original Lacie drive and yet only 49,000 on the TC?
There is also a slight difference in the "Size Info" regards to the Bytes. Maybe this is from the file system change from FAT or NTFS to HFS+?? I'm not 100% sure?
So, any ideas??
Cheers!
Wez

Hi Wez,
try to open the Terminal (see "Apple"+"U"), go to the mounted LaCie drive (with "cd /Volume/") and use "ls -la xxxx" to find hidden files (xxxx is the file/volume name). Or use the a "save"/"open" Dialog from a application, with "Cmd""Shift""Period" to Toggles Hidden File Visibility in Snow Leopard.
This is the problem, maybe,
Lutz
p.s.
How to copy the data to the TC.
In general, if the LaCie drive use FAT32 or NTFS, you find lots of ._xxxx files with additional informations. This files are part of the HFS+ filesystem. On my FAT32 drive I find a ._xxxx for each real file. All the time I copy this files to a Mac, I got only the half number of files, because the ._xxxx files became a part of the HFS+.

Using time capsule to backup FCP files on External Lacie drives

Has anyone done this with any measure of success? I have my FCP projects on 3 to 4 external Lacie drives and I want to back them up onto my 1 TB TC. It seems TC only backs up the internal HD and not external HD's. Is my only option to drag the data onto TC without any hope of a regular back up?
Any suggestions would be helpful
Thanks

Unfortunately I won't be able to tell you too much about time machine. I don't use it. I use another utility to clone my internal HD once a day. I use Carbon Copy Cloner which is scheduled to do an "incremental backup" (only what's changed since the last sync) every day at 4 pm. You could do this same sort of thing via Time Machine. It's just a slightly different paradigm as far as back up strategies go. So it's sort of an either/or: Time Machine vs. CCC.
Then, you'd use ChronoSync to handle the external to Time Capsule. Actually you could use ChronoSync to do the internal to Time Capsule as long as you're, basically telling it to, "make this folder look just like 'this other' folder". ChronoSync can do it all as long as you're NOT talking about making and preserving bootable clones. If you're only trying to do a bunch of "mirroring" then ChronoSync could be "one-stop-shopping".
Hope that makes sense.
Not sure about "drobo"? Google search leads me to believe it's an external Hard Drive? If so, no. I haven't used it. But there's no reason why ChronoSync wouldn't talk to it and function just fine.

Time Capsule deleted my old files

I bought a Time Capsule in February this year and after that it has been around every where I was. I did a first "big" backup from my Macbook Pro and every since that the backup did work automatically in the background.
But recently I did go into some folder of mine and turn on the Time Capsule to check for some older files I deleted and I figured out the Time Capsule goes back only till 6th October this year. So can somebody explain to me where is all my old data from February till October, the files I deleted and the old backups?
I also saw that my backup file did have a name that looked like that: "Dejan's MacBook Pro (4).sparsebundle". So what is the number "(4) doing there and again where and how I can access my old files or what happened?
Thanks!

goes back only till 6th October this year.
Did you update the computer to Yosemite that day.. or perhaps the day after.. ??
The way TM works on Yosemite is still rather mysterious to us.. but if it is like Mavericks .. the backups are still there.. mostly but it will take Yosemite 3 days or so (longer over wireless) to actually index it. The new index function in Yosemite is super slow apparently.
You can manually bypass using TM and directly open the sparsebundle in finder and get your files. See the material in Pondini for help
Q15 in particular but 14-17 is worth reading. http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
Also please note that when you actually delete files.. not just version them.. at anytime TM can delete the files in the backup.. you are trusting TM as an archive system.. it is not.. and you should not use it that way. See Q12, 20 in same reference.
I also saw that my backup file did have a name that looked like that: "Dejan's MacBook Pro (4).sparsebundle".
You are having network issues.. the same name cannot appear on two computers on the network. The Mac will automatically increment its name so that the old version and the new version can be on the network at the same time.. Of course the old one is not really there.. just its ghost.. somehow apple networks do have ghosting issues.. and it is not uncommon issue.. what is more you might have multiple sparsebundles on the TC.. check out if there are other backups using the older names of the computer.. They will then give you access to your missing files.

Time capsule deauthorized many music files

I bought time capsule and after having lots of problems getting it working, my son (who works for apple) got it working by doing the initial backup via firewire cable (he said he didn't understand why
apple doesn't recommend this) every thing works fine...EZCEPT...now many of my music files have been deauthorized and there doesn't seem to be any way for them to be reauthorized, The help files relating to this topic are not available to read, what do i need to do? ALL my files have been legally obtained via iTunes or downloading a purchased CD.

Nope—all the files existed before the backup would have been created.
I restored from a backup I made March 1, 2014, I believe; all of the files now missing were ones I for sure had before then. But the date those files were created doesn't seem to affect their disappearence; I have files created before and after and at nearly the same times as the ones now missing that are still there.

Time capsule disconnects when accessing files

I set up the time capsule on my comcast business class internet. It also serves as my wifi router as well.I have been having issues when 7 users are connected to this wifi router and then when we try accessing files on it, it disconnects us and we have to reconnect to the wifi and then try to access again.
It has become a huge inconvience lately, and quite honestly I did not update to Maverick becauce I was nervous of the issues that would incur.
When I bought the time capsule, I wish Apple would have helped set this up as we purchased over $15k from them in equipment. I am just really regretting the coplexity of this and the fact that we can not access this time capsule remotely at all.
NEED HELP ASAP!

How is the TC setup and what mode is it working in?
Your profile shows you are using Mavericks.. and we know Mavericks is having issues with accessing files on the TC.
Then this line confuses me.
It has become a huge inconvience lately, and quite honestly I did not update to Maverick becauce I was nervous of the issues that would incur.
So you did update to Mavericks or not?? Do you have a mix of Mountain Lion and Mavericks?
Why are 7 people trying to access files on the TC?
The TC is not a NAS.. it is a target for Time Machine backups. If you are using it as a file store, are you also using it as TM backup?? That is likely to cause some issues.
If you spent that much money with apple did you ring their support and get them to talk you through the issues?
Keep hassling them if they are not helping you.. They have supplied you equipment that does not work.. you have the right to return it.
If we are going to be able to help.. spell this line out a bit more.
I have been having issues when 7 users are connected to this wifi router and then when we try accessing files on it, it disconnects us and we have to reconnect to the wifi and then try to access again.
Does that mean, when only two or three users are working it is fine? What is the tipping point?
How do you reconnect to the wifi?
Is everyone trying to access the same file, ie a company database??

Time Capsule Trash - undelete deleted files

Not sure if this question has been answered as I could not find a thread relating to it. I recently deleted some files off my TC and needed to undo some deletions but realised that the files were nowhere to be found. What occurs with files deleted off TC (normal delete command using right-click, not secure delete)? They are obviously not sent to the Trash folder. Please help.

Welcome to the discussions!
The only way you might be able to retrieve the deleted files is open up the Time Capsule case, pull the drive (which will void the TC warranty) and place it in a separate enclosure. Then try data restoration software to see if the file(s) might be retrievable.

Why won't my Apple Time Capsule Let Me Transfer files over?

Ok so I'm using Vista and wanting to back up my data but my Apple Time Capsule won't allow me to transfer anything more than 4Gb at a time and Windows keeps displaying an error message saying there isn't enough space when there is clearly 990Gb left!
I have to press "skip" just to get rid of the message or else it keeps coming popping back up. But when I go to view the files the folders are there but not the files and if there is any files in there they are all corrupted and won't play/view properly.
Although I can save files to it directly if downloading something and choosing a location although it does tell me it may not be able to save anything larger than 4Gb although there isn't an option to format it to NTFS??
Please help

When I click on my 'libraries' file (where all my photos are saved) It just says "no items to display"- when there is!
If the reset did not work can you specify this more?
What do you mean with libraries file (Bridge is a browser reflecting the content of your system)
What OS do you use?
