Hi every body
The issue is solved. I recognized that I don't have the problem from my macbooc. So I restarted the imac. And the issue was solved :-).

Can I retrieve files from a Time Capsule data hard-drive if I completed a simple-erase on it?

I have a 2TB Time Capsule. I stored files on the hard drive within the Time Capsule. I did a quick-erase of the hard drive (Time Capsule) via Airport Utility on my MacBook Pro and forgot the files were on it. Is there anyway I can retrieve these files? The Time Capsule's 2TB capacity was hardly used at all, I used it for Time Machine but apart from that I just stored some files on it. Thank you in advance if you could help.

As per Bob's comment.. BUTT.. big fat one.
The disk has to be out of the TC to do it. You need to directly access the disk so you need to remove the disk (voiding warranty) and place it in a usb holder and plug into a computer. If you are very careful pulling up the rubber mat. Using lots of heat from heat gun or hair dryer with half the inlet blocked.. and carefully pull up the mat leaving the label last and not stetching it.. the mat should go back with nobody knowing.. !!

I hope you stopped using the TC immediately. Any new files will overwrite the old ones.
I went through this exercise recently to help a customer with a dead WD hard disk in their Gen 4 TC.. The data partition had lost format. Using just the demo of data rescue 3.. as I could not find a demo of Disk Warrior and I refuse to pay for something that offers no refund.. $100 is not too much if it works.. but it is expensive if you get nothing. But it will very likely work. Certainly the files were still available and correctly named.. but the demo does not allow much of a test.. but still looked hopeful. Customer wanted the hard disk changed wanted to do the recovery herself.. which is fine.
BTW if you have a choice find a tool that allows you to copy the files... you might need to buy another USB disk so you have a suitable target that is big enough. It is possible to repair a drive and so just recover the files.. the fast erase simply wipes the allocation table. Files should not be affected.. but any changes to the disk are permanent and if it goes bad will make it even more difficult to recover.. It can take a long time to copy files off but is safest route.
TC is a backup target.. the whole idea of backup is having at least 2 locations for your files.. by placing files on the TC.. there is no automated backup.. the disk could have died and you will lose everything.. this is kind of a warning.. don't do it.

Data on time capsule seems to be erased after installing it as a server (?)

In have always used my Time Capsule as an external hard disk drive, connected via a LAN cable. I saved all my photo's and music on it and personal data. This is of course very valuable for me.
After purchasing a system to wirelessly play MP3 music, via the system setting I selected file sharing. However, the files on the Time Capsule were still not accessable. Via the airport Utility I selected file sharing.
Still the files could not be selected wireless on my music system.
After that I accessed the Time Capsule via Finder > Go > Connect to server. I filled in the IP address of the Time Capsule and I could see two partitions of the Time Capsule now. I had never intentionally installed partitions on it, but now 2 partitions are available:
1. Eteam1
2. EteamTimeCapsule
I think EteamTimeCapsule was the root directory all my files were saved in. Now it seems to be empty (except for a .sparcebundle file of the TimeMachine backup.)
I am a bit desparate, as I fear all my data is lost. Who has a solution for this? Would it be possible to recover any data?
Thank you very much for any help.

The TC is designed to backup several laptops in a household. (yes its original intent was laptops since it is basically a wireless router with a hard disk inside) It is for incremental backups so each computer may use 2x or 3x the normal disk capacity. That means 2TB can be quickly consumed. The backup software needs a fair amount of free space on the drive to work. Let me assure you plenty of people fill up their drives. The backup is continually taking snapshots of the drive and saving all the files you are working on.. the idea is to go back historically to locate an earlier version if something goes wrong.
Now as to storing files.
Forgive me using a standard answer here.. this is being asked all the time.
Store files on the TC.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/24380694#24380694
This is asked several times a day.. obviously people are struggling with their latest SSD being too small.
The TC is not suitable for network file server.. but many people having no choice press it into service as such.
It cannot be partitioned. It was and is and ever shall be a backup device for Time Machine.
Major issues.
1. No backup.. no way Time Machine can backup a network drive. No place to backup to.. So all your files will be at risk. And you will need to buy a third party like CCC to do backup.
2. The TC cannot be partitioned and mixing TM backups and data is not great.
3. The drive is slow to spin up and quick to spin down.. there are no controls.
4. iPhoto in particular can easily corrupt its entire library with wireless networking causing a disconnection to one photo. Even if you do this;;; do not move your photo library... you have been warned!!
5. iTunes will constantly lose connection to the library. The disk is too slow to respond.. itunes on the computer will constantly spit out errors. Even in the midst of streaming the TC can spin down the disk due to caching.
6. Do not use any live files on the TC no matter what else you do.. if you edit files in whatever program the file must be on the local hard disk.
7. The only suitable location for most libraries is a computer. You can plug in an external hard disk.
Read pondini for some work arounds.
Q3 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
Would a NASS or a simple external hdd be betten then? I think it would have the same disadvantages right?
A true NAS has the following..
1. Raid for data integrity.
2. Backup for saving data in the event of total failure.
3. Disk access to replace a faulty disk.
4. Power supply access to replace a faulty power supply.
5. Controls.. disk controls, file store controls, access controls.
TC has none of those. It is a sealed unit.. designed for one simple function.. TM backup of laptops.
For Desktop computers an external drive.. even USB2 is faster, cheaper and much more reliable. With new computers and now USB3 that is far more the case.
External hard disk is always the first choice to overcome internal disks that are too small. To the point where I recommend people do not use laptops to do desktop work eg movie editing if it requires more disk space than is available.. or get the internal disk replaced for a larger one.
Or pay for thunderbolt.. but actually thunderbolt is still so expensive it is cheaper to replace the internal drive.
I do not expect everyone will agree.. But I do repair TC.. and I have seen people in your situation enough times to know.. storing files on the TC is a bad idea.

How can i get files from my time capsule to my new mac?

Hello there,
I know this topic i much discussed, but searching has not turned up a solution.
I have a new mac book pro 15 on order and want to grab my files from my time capsule. My old mac book pro 15 (3 months old) was encrypted with file safe. In the past i have never had good results with bringing data to a new mac from time capsules; I've tried many times for my self and family. As a result I use the time capsule for day to day old file retrieval needs and do manual backups of my data onto externals and NAS devices for migration to new computers-tedious but it has yet to fail me. This time, I did that with everything except a few folders of my movies and pictures. They are now prisoner on the time capsule.
What is the best way to get files off the time capsule and does it require that my login and user name on the new mac be identical to that which was on my old mac?
(I change my user names each time i get a new mac, not specifically on purpose but i haven't paid attention to what they were when setting up a new computer.)
any assistance is appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks Allan,
Help me understand what question you're referring to. I've been through several new macs and am not sure what specifically you're speaking about.
My old mac had a partition on the drive that I do not want on the new mac, so I am concerned about doing a full restore and prefer a file by file or folder by folder. is this possible?

HT1178 Backed up files on a time capsule

Hi,
My hard drive was reformatted whilst being repaired wiping all of my data. And then rebooted without re-installing my files from my Time Capsule. So how do I now re-instal my files from my last back up?
And when I re-install those files, will they merge with the documents / data that I've created since rebooting? Or do I have to back that data up first?
Pinkafeld

Since posting this query, I've now been able to work out how to tranfer items back from Time machine.

File search on Time capsule doesn't seem to work anymore ?

Hello,
I have my music files stored on time capsule. and I have a backup on a USB drive.
When I search for a certain word as part of the file name, the search on time capsule returns very few entries now, in some cases zero.
However searching on backup for instance returns over 500 entries. The files are available on time capsule and they play via iTunes,
but since I installed Lion, the search doesn't find them.
what is wrong?
thanks for any help!

If you do not have Finder open to any folder or are not using iPhoto or Mail, this is normal. With no apps open, you are at your desktop. Hence, if you click on the Time Machine icon, your desktop is what appears. Don't drag stuff onto your desktop. That's totally unnecessary. Try again with Finder open.

Accessing data in time capsule

Can I access data from time capsule wirelessly using a smart tv or blu ray player? If not, can I access it with ethernet connection?

No and No.
There are rare exceptions but mostly SMART TV isn't that smart.. it needs DLNA in the network device to find files.. TC of course supports no media extensions at all.. nothing.. zippo.. el zero or as you say.. null.
You need a player that can access raw files.. eg WD live TV can do it.. because it is a real Media Player. Not a streamer.

HT201250 Will using AirPort Utility to "restore to original settings" make you have to re-back up your computer's files on a Time Capsule?

Will using AirPort Utility to "restore to original settings" make you have to re-back up your computer's files on a Time Capsule?

The advantage is CCC has built in routines that "bless" (see the Terminal.app command "bless") the
os x installation so it will boot properly on the new volume it is being installed on.
Disk Utility simply copies (restores) files from one volume to another. Many times this works just fine.
Sometimes it won't boot afterwards. Most of the time (as long as there are no system files missing
or corrupted) a person may "bless" the drive and restore it to working condition.
CCC is not a "magical" application, it is in fact a front end to applications that already exist separately
in OS X (asr, hdiutil, diskutil, bless, etc.).
It doesn't matter to me how you do it. It's your time not mine. Everyone should spend some time
behind the command line in terminal. I do many tasks using the command line, including and not
limited to complete system restores, backing up data, disk partitioning, installing software, disk
repair, permissions repair, ACL management, restoring data, managing disk images, network
management, user management, file management, etc. Many people are fearful of the command
line. I feel just the opposite, I'm fearful without it.

Time machine file errors using Time capsule

OK
I have been using a time capsule to backup my Intel Imac (2.8Ghz 1TB HD) for about 8 months. when it works it works but twice now I have had failures that have resulted in me having to start from scratch.
Things I have tired have been
rebooting
Removing the latest files from the time capsule folder and retrying
removing the com.apple.timemchine.plist file from preferences
Of course all fail and my last backup (started 6-27-08) is not toast. What makes me mad is I can still access the data fine using TM but it will not continue to update. I created a folder on my TC to place the old sparse bundle in and am now currently 8gb into 1 100gb backup.
How can I avoid having to do this every 3-6 months. Is this normal or is there something unique to my system?
thanks

this happens because you must have removed the mounted virtual volume with your filevaulted home directory from TM exclusion list. when you are logged in go to TM system preferences->options. normally, you should see your filevauled home directory on the exlcusion list. that means that the mounted virtual volume with your home directory is excluded from backups. if you remove it from the exclusion list then TM will back it up unencrypted as a separate hard drive. so if it's not on the list do the following. delete the file /library/preferences/com.apple.timemachine.plist. then go to TM system preferences and set it up again. check that the mounted home folder is on the exclusion list. then it won't be backed up anymore in the unencrypted form and the only thing that will be backed up is the encrypted sparse bundle itself.

I recently changed my internet provider and now I can't access any files on my time capsule.

I recently changed my internet provider from Bell to Rogers and now I can't access my files on my Time Capsule.
When I click on Finder, it shows up as a Shared Drive. Unfortunately, when I select it, the folder shows up blank. I know the "Data" folder I'd created is there since Time Capsule is able to backup to it and iTunes is still downloading my music to that folder. How do I fix this?
The wireless network works too since all my devices are able to connect to it.
Help, please!

NVM: Found out all I had to do was reboot my Macbook Pro.

Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro? Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?

Yes, if you are asking about using Time Machine to backup the Mac.
Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?
You are not thinking of deleting the photos and files on your Mac, are you? If you do this, you will have no backups for those files.
Another concern is that Time Machine backs up the changes on your Mac. At some point, Time Machine will automatically delete the photos and files from the Time Capsule.....you just don't know when this might occur.
In other words, only delete files from your Mac that you can afford to lose.

I was able to copy all my files from my Time Capsule, but that is all they are...files. How do I get my new Mac Mini to emulate my other Mac?

Doggiemommie,
Copying files is not a good idea.
The "other Mac" was backed up onto Time Capsule using the Time Machine. On your new Mac you should restore the old user - rather than copy files manually.
This usually happens during the initial setup of the new computer or you can do it later using Migration Assistant.
Please note, it is possible to damage backup file on the Time Capsule when you browse it and copy files manually.
Hope this explains.

Can I share the files on the time capsule for all of the macs on my network and can I access time capsule from my laptop while out of town?

I have a iMac desktop and a macbook pro. If I purchase a time capsule, can I use it as the central location for my files for both computers? Can I access the files on the time capsule from my macbook pro when I am out of town?

Yes, with some provisos.. it is designed as primarily a backup location for Time Machine.
Look at Pondini who has a great deal of info in his KB of all things Time Machine .. as well as Time Capsule.
Q3 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
Remote access is via BTMM and iCloud.. just look it up.
But the TC must be the main router in the network for it to work.

Hello Guys. I had problems in the Computer before and changed my HD. I saved in my all files documents in (Time Capsule). How can I put all my files, pictures documents on my new HD? Please Help. Thank You

I get this message "The operation can't be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50)" when I try and add any files to my Time Capsule

I get this message "The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50)" when I try and add or delete any files to my Time Capsule. It just started happening a week ago.

I would get an external drive today and copy all your stuff off the TC.. forget trying to load more onto it. There is a good chance after 3years (A 2TB should be only about 2years tops), the disk or the TC itself is on the way out. Do it immediately. If TM is also failing to backup you need to recognise symtoms of impending doom.
Unfortunately the error messages are archane and it is hard to discover their meaning.
You also cannot verify a network drive.. you can verify the TM sparsebundle though so do that.
A5. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Reboot the whole network from off.. certainly if you run later OS it can simply lose the drive..
If you still fail to be able to copy to the TC.. then get that external and copy off it. Tell us if you can do that.
