Why take 156 hours to transfer backup from 500mb capsule to 2tb capsule

What am I doing wrong?
I've connected the old 500gb Time Capsule to the new 2TB Time Capsule via a high speed ethernet cable.
I then opened two finder windows, one with the old capsule and one with the new capsule.
I subsequently drag to copy the the backup sparsebundle files (2, two iMacs) from the finder window of the old capsule to the window of the new capsule.
I then get a message that it will take 156 hours or 6.5 days to transfer the files.????

If you are transferring with Wi-Fi or Ethernet and you have to transfer a lot of files, it's normal. Wi-Fi and Ethernet are the slowest methods to transfer files.
Instead, you can check if your old Mac has got a FireWire 800 port. If so, you can get a Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter and a FireWire cable, so the transfer will be done by FireWire, making the migration faster.
If you don't want to spend money, continue the migration. Another thing you can do is to get an external drive, make a Time Machine backup of your old Mac and use the backup to transfer your files to the new Mac. Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4889?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

if it was iMessage, you wouldn't be charged, because they don't send as sms. I would contact your carrier, because this is a weird issue that is most likely happening from their end

How to backup from Time Capsule to external HD?

How to set up files backup from Time Capsule to external HD?
Here is configuration: MacBook + MacAir + Time Capsule (which I use as a storage) + 2Tb WD MyPassport (USB connected to TimeCapsule)
I keep files like photos on TimeCapsule to be available by WiFi and I want to set up my Time Machine to backup picture folder from TimeCapsule to MyPassport HD.

Time Machine can't back up a network volume. You'll have to use third-party software. I don't have a specific recommendation. There is no efficient way at all to back up a Time Capsule, which is why it should only be used as a backup destination, not as a general-purpose file server.

How do I remove a backup from Time Capsule?

How do I remove a backup from Time Capsule? It is taking up 250 GB on the capsule and I wish to remove it.
I do not wish to erase the Time capsule since I have another backup on there I wish to keep.

Then you use the TM application to manage the backups. See:
A whole lot about Time Machine for help with TM problems. Also you can select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for "time machine" to locate articles on how to use TM. See also Mac 101- Time Machine.

Transfer backups from old TC to new TC

I have a first gen TC that has backups of my 2 mac's. I just ordered a new dual band TC. Can I transfer the backup from the old TC to the new one so i don't loose anything?

I haven't tried the "paste" mentioned below, but if you open your Hard Drive and look under SHARED, you should see your old Time Capsule icon.
Click on the icon and open the Time Capsule folder to show your xxxx.sparsebundle files, which contain all your backups.
Click the Gear icon at the top of the pane and there is a copy feature there. If you "copy" the file, you may be able to "paste" it on the new Time Capsule disk.
Might be worth a call to Apple since you have free support on the new TC.

HT1386 Lost iPhone 4, bought iPhone 5, would like to transfer backup from last synch with computer but don't have the password

Lost iPhone 4, bought iPhone 5, would like to transfer backup to new iPhone 5 from last synch with computer but don't have the password.

What password? Did you encrypt your backup & now can't remember the encrypted backup passcode? If so, no, you won't be able to use that backup. If on a Mac, & you elected to save the passcode to your Keychain, you can recover it from that. Otherwise, you'll have to delete the backup. The data is unrecoverable.
Or, are you talking about the iPhone passcode?

How long should it take to restore new 4s iPhone backup from iCloud?

That depends mostly on your Internet connection download speed, and how much data you have on the phone. It could take anything from a few minutes to several days. There is no "one size fits all" answer.

Why Migration or Restore Utility doesn't find any Time Machine backups from Time Capsule ?

Hello,
After a big issue on my system (Lion), I had to do a full restore from Time Capsule and my problems started.
Here is my setup:
Time Capsule configured with account-based authentication
MacBook with OS X Lion (x2) (1 needs a restore)
I booted from Lion's restoration partitions, then I selected "Restore from Time Machine backup", my Time Capsule is detected. I hit "Continue", the utility asks my login/password. Then...nothing ! It seems that no backup is detected.
Well, from another computer, I tried to connect with the same login/password and mount the sparsebundle backup...no problems
To go further, I launched Migration utility from the working computer, then tried to restore from Time Machine backups....no backup is detected again !
Solution:
I had, from Lion's restoration partition, to mount the Time Capsule drive, then the sparsebundle image (the backup) from Terminal.
After that, the restoration utility was able to detect the "local" mounted sparsebundle backup image.
Aftermath:
Not a single Apple utility, designed to restore my computer, was able to detect my Time Capsule's backups.
I was able to use the command line utility to be able to restore my computer.
Question:
Did I miss something ? Am I the only one to do that to restore from a Time Capsule configured with account authentication ?

I'm sorry I didn't get your point. I didn't find any answer in this FAQ.
For the record, I checked my backups with Disk Utility, no damages were found, so it should work out of the box.

Transfer backup from a PC to a Mac

I just bought a mac but I have all my photos in PSE. Can I use the backup from the PC and do a restore with PSE? I don't want to buy PSE for the mac if I can not load all my pictures with tags from the PC.

You don’t say which version of PSE you are using but if you have a recent boxed version then it’s possible to run PSE on both Windows and Mac. You are permitted two activations. If you downloaded originally from the Adobe store ten your product will be single platform.
Use the backup and restore method built into the organizer. See the attached tech note which has a section on transferring from PC to Mac.
