TIME CAPSULE lost JPGs (not via regular Backup) ?

Hello, a question ... (and sorry for my "bad-school-english"...) !!
I am the owner of a TIME CAPSULE (1TB) and of course i use the BACKUP (TIME MACHINE) Function.
I´ll save data/jpgs (separate not via Backup !!!) on the harddisk of the TC.
I´ll delete close to 2.000 jpgs by mistake.(stuuupid)
DATA RESCUE II & PICTURE RESCUE are only able to search missing data in usb-harddisk... but not on TIME CAPSULE ...
how can i recover the jpgs ?
any ideas ?
(i have no regular backups on TimeMachine)
Would be great to get some support !!
thanx

Hello diakpauli. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I'm not 100% sure, but I think your only option recover these files is to temporarily remove the TC's internal hard drive (this will void your warranty); place it in a USB/SATA drive caddy and connect it directly to your Mac. Then run your recovery utilities to attempt to retrieve these files. When done, you would reinstall the drive into the TC.

New Time Capsule 2Tb does not do FULL backup

I've been using a 500Gb USB drive and decided to upgrade to a Time Capsule 2Tb.
Installation goes without a problem. Everything the manual says should happen, happens. So far so good.
Starting Time Machine, I'm asked if I want to replace the previous Time Machine or use both. I select replace.
Using an ethernet cable to speed the process, Time Machine starts making the initial backup. This should be full.
However, after it finished - no apparent error messages, Time Machine just closed on its own - I decided to check that some of my most important files had been backed up. I have 3 VMs. Only 1 had been backed up!
I'm assuming there will be other files that haven't been backed up. But why isn't this a FULL backup??

It is all the information that was backed up in the first one. After it started backing up after the second time I deleted that .plist file, it only backed up 4MB...it seems to be doing that now.
Edit: an interesting error seen in the time machine widget is "Could not mount recovery partition"

Just bought Time Capsule and do not intend to use as a router. Can I use it just as a wireless backup to my Mac?

Hi all - Just bought Time Capsule and do not intend to use as a router given that my Uverse router works splendidly. Can I use it just as a wireless backup to my Mac? Sorry if this is a boneheaded question, but this is my first time backing up my machine ( I know, foolish). Thanks!

Your problem will be if you use wireless for internet then you cannot do both internet and backup at once.. you still should plug the TC into the uverse router and set it in bridge mode.. you can setup wireless if you like on the TC and use either TC or uverse but you must work out how to do both at once.
If you use ethernet on the Mac then wireless to backup is also a bit of an issue.. please ask as I can show you the setup.. or visa versa.. wireless for internet and ethernet for backup..

I don't have a DSL or cable modem to access the Internet ... just a mobile WiFi (there is no cable available at our house). How do I connect my Time Capsule to the Internet via the mobile WiFi?

LOL!!
I am in Australia and the ISP... I think both the main ones would fit your description to a T.. big T in particular.
Your router is really unsuitable.. if it is only wireless and no ethernet.. just buy an ethernet one.
Do a search on ebay.. 3g router.
But you can get the TC to join a wireless network.
It is a non-standard setup that Apple will not support.. the option is hidden.
If you are on Lion download the 5.6 utility. Go to the wireless set up page and hold down the option key whilst selecting wireless mode.. a new option, join will appear. You can then put in the ssid and passkey of the 3g router.
But please note the end result of this setup..
very slow speed. The TC is now a second wireless hop from your clients.. this will halve the speed.
In this mode the ethernet are deactived.. for reasons only Apple know, they decided you should not use ethernet when doing this.

HT201250 can a time capsule be used as just a backup for data without being connected to a home network?

This is the explanation for my my question about whether a time capsule can be used as a backup without being connected to a network. I had to disconnect my time capsule when I upgraded my landline to a wireless home phone in order to go to a wireless security system that would work with my 2WIRE router. The time capsule blocked the usage of my camera on my security system, not allowing the camera to connect to the 2WIRE router. Once I disconnected the time capsule, the camera was able to connect wirelessly to the 2WIRE.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
See > https://discussions.apple.com/message/16717724#16717724
As you can read, you can do what you want. You just have to set up the Time Capsule network in AirPort Utility without connecting it to the router and ignoring the messages, and connect to the Time Capsule network. You will have to switch between the Time Capsule and the other router's networks

I have set up my time capsule but can not see it in finder

I have setup my time capsule, I can see it on the network and have done an initial backup, I can see it under shared devices in finder but when I open it I cannot see any files in the folder

If you have backed up your Mac using Time Machine to the Time Capsule, you would not use the Finder to see the files on the Time Capsule.
If you want to see the backups, click on the Time Machine "clock" icon on the dock at the bottom of the screen and wait a few minutes for everything to load.
Use the scale at the right of the screen to move from different recent backup times or dates. Select the time that you want and use the Finder like interface to navigate to locate a file or folder.
More info on Time Machine is available in this Apple support document:

Can i access my photos saved on time capsule using my pad via my home wifi?

Can i access my photos saved on time capsule using my pad via my home wifi? I would like to edit my pictures on my ipad instead of my mac mini and have them stored on my time capsule.

Sad that people steal stuff.. and..
Sorry but there is no way windows can recover a TM backup. You have to use another Mac.
TM is uniquely Mac.

My iphoto library, located on time capsule ( +/- 50G) does not load at all after upgrade to OSX to Yosemite ?

Dear all,
I am guessing, this is not the end for accessing to my iphoto (last update) library, my life memories, but after upgrade to OSX Yosemite, my iphoto library, located on time capsule (+/- 50G) does not load at all. I have sent the report to Apple.
I am, worried to save or see my pictures back.
Thanks fo your help.

Hi Larry,
Sorry, for the delay, in the meantime I have restored my previous OS.
But to answer you, basically , I use the time capsule as both a backup volume and an external drive.
It's a 1 To Capacity.
Best Regards,
Clémentine
That is a bad idea
1 - since you have files on the same disk as your backup you have no backup for those files which apparently includes you photos - having no b means it is just a matter of time until you lose them
2 - The TimeMachine backup grows until it fills the volume it is on - when the TC is full iphoto (and maybe other programs) will stop workig due to lack of space
You need at least two external hard drives - one for the iPhoto library (this one needs to be directly connected with a fast wired connection like Thungrbolt, Firewire or USB and be formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) ) and a separate EHD for you TM backup

Airport Time Capsule gets hung up on virifying backup

Occasionally when I am backing up my MacBook Pro (2011) with latest software to my Time Capsule the verifying backup step gets hung up and does not complete. What do I need to do to keep this from happening? This may happen several times a day.

I stopped the verify back up and then used the "Back Up Now" Time Machine couldn’t complete the backup to “Bill Lantz's AirPort Time Capsule”. It also stated "The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/William’s MacBook Pro (2).sparsebundle” is already in use.
Does anybody have a suggestion?

I have a 27inch iMac with snow leopard and 1 user, and a 24 inch (older) upgraded to yosemite and 5 users. I want to wipe the 27 inch and transfer everything on the 24 to it. I do have time capsule 3tb but not sure how to do it

Move your content to a new Mac - Apple Support

My Time capsule location is not correct. It thinks it is in Alabama.

My Time Capsule location is not correct. It thinks it is in Alabama. It is in Tennessee.

Was the Time Capsule or your Mac ever located in Alabama?
Where are your ISP offices located?
Have you tried resetting the Time Capsule back to factory default settings and then setting it up again? If yes, it may take Apple's location services servers 4-6 weeks to pick up the new location.

Time capsule now does not work with Lion just installed.

Just downloaded Lion to Mac Air. Time capsule now does not work. Where is the problem?

Restart the TC.. lion is stupid.. it forgets what it is connected to with alarming frequency ... like someone suffering dementia.
If it continues to have issues, plug the TC directly to the lion computer by ethernet (if not already) and try again. Change the wireless to manual in airport utility and change the wireless name.. to force a new configuration. Once setup you can just use wireless.
In the end you may need to reset the TC.. just hold in the reset button for about 10sec. It should then become available.. a reset does not do anything to data on the hard drive but you might need to restore any passwords.

How can a company sell a Times Capsule appliance as a solution for backup and die for this manufacturing fault? And with that Apple? nothing, or technical assistance. Of a sledgehammer, open the device and attempt to recover your files by force!???

Heat up the bottom rubber mat with a hairdryer for 5-10 minutes to loosen the adhesive, then pull the rubber mat away from the bottom metal plate carefully.
Then use a screwdriver to remove the 10-12 screws to open up the case.

Time Capsule error when interrupting a regular hourly backup

Okay... So it's supposedly common knowledge that if you interrupt an hourly Time Capsule backup (not the big initial one) by putting your Macbook to sleep, the next time you wake your computer up Time Machine is supposed to just pick up where it left off. Right?
Not for me. I got Time Capsule right when it was released and it worked like a charm for a whole entire month... Until one day I made the mistake of interrupting one of its backups. When I got back to my computer I got an error saying the backup could not be completed. I thought it was no big deal until I actually tried to start a backup again. First it stayed on "Preparing" for a long time... Then a similar error message. I tried again and again and got nothing but error messages. Nothing I tried worked.
I decided to erase the Time Capsule disk and start over, essentially losing a month's worth of backups. Once again it worked for a few days until once again I put my Mac to sleep while it was doing a regular backup. Once again, coming back to my computer resulted in an error message. Once again it couldn't recover no matter what I did. I decided to try again from scratch, erased the drive, did the big backup.
Today, after three days of it working just fine, I had to leave my house in the middle of a backup. I paused for a moment wondering if I should do it, but then thought, what the ****, you're SUPPOSED to be able to interrupt it.
Um, no. Error message again. Except today I decided to run Disk Utility on it, which did work in reviving its backup abilities... HOWEVER something very strange happened. Spotlight started indexing the backup disk image-- something I'm pretty sure is not supposed to happen. It insisted on doing this every time I mounted the disk image, and only when it was finished indexing would it agree to dismount itself after backing up (like it's supposed to). Aside from that, Time Machine no longer asks for my password when I choose the Time Capsule disk... It just chooses it. It also doesn't alert me when I delete a file stored inside the Time Capsule disk (to tell me it will be permanently deleted) but instead sends it to the trash. And when recovering a file from Time Machine, the disk image doesn't dismount itself once it's done-- I have to do it manually.
In short, it's not acting normal, as far as I can tell.
So my question is twofold:
1) why the **** can't I interrupt the backup without getting an error? It's not supposed to work this way. Does this work for anyone else?
2) What the **** happened to the disk image now that I've got it to work again? It backs up fine and everything but it's acting weird.
Thanks... Hope someone has any clue what this all means!

I have a very similar issue. Spotlight is now indexing the backup volume on Time Capsule, and it is taking forever.
Nobody else using Time Machine / Time Capsule here? I can't believe that.

Extra hard disk via USB time capsule (2TB) does not show in finder etc

I've found hunderds of questions that look alike but not one has solved it.
I have a Time Capsule with 2 TB hard disk. In all descriptions of the TC Apple states that an extra drive can be attached through the USB.
I did that. Wanting to create an extra network drive. I connected a (Apple formatted) WD Essential to the USB. With te newest airport configuration programm I do not see the hard drive. I do see it with version 5.6. BUT: I cannot see what is on it and so (not) select anything. I don't see it with the finder. I did do everything to make sharing possible. When connected directly to IMac it works fine. In airport I selected sharing etc etc. I don't want the disk to be used as a backup system (via Time Machine). Just an extra network disk. Please help.

I don't have a Time Capsule; I have an AirPort Extreme Base Station, which is similar except for not having the built-in storage. Since your question got moved from the initial category (where you posted it) to Time Capsule, maybe someone else who has a Time Capsule will pop by with some advice. If you don't get any more replies (other than from me), you may want to summarized what you learned so far, and post a new question (in this category). New questions often get more views and responses.
With a Time Capsule, you can share the built-in hard drive as general network storage (not just for Time Machine purposes), is that correct? Does that work for you? Can you set that up using the latest version of AirPort Utility?
If you set that up, I'm guessing it would appear in a Finder window in the same way. The Time Capsule appears in the Finder window sidebar, under SHARED. When you select it, the Time Machine's built-in shared volume appears to the right, and you can mount it using whatever security settings you used. If you have an external drive attached to the Time Capsule as well, and it is set up to be shared, it appears as a second shared volume. It is still just that one Time Capsule under SHARED in the Finder window's sidebar, but to the right, there are now two shared volumes. But I don't have a Time Capsule, so I'm not sure about that...
I don't know why the latest version of AirPort Utility does not see the external drive volume? If possible, I would try another USB storage device (even if it's a 4GB thumb drive), to confirm it does work, and it's not a hardware problem on the Time Capsule's USB port.
Also, if you have not tried so far, you may want to reset your Time Capsule (to give it a fresh start).
