Hardware :: Time Capsule To "Beep" Copying Data

Oct 19, 2009

I just bought a new Time Capsule 2To from an Apple Reseller in my town. I'm running Windows Vista here & copying some 17GB files on it. While it's transferring, i hear some beep, but it's not cyclic, it's like 2 beep then nothing & 1 minute after, 3 beep, then 2 beep and nothing for 2 minutes or 2 beep & 4 beep & 2 beep. So here is my question : I bought this Time Capsule to have more HDD backup & save documents on it. is that a sign of defectual disk? Second question : how can i backup the Time Capsule ? If i go 500Go on it... ? I just don't want to change it, if i get the same bip with all TC when i transfer files on it.

OS X Technologies :: Time Machine Just 'stops' Copying Data

Jun 12, 2012

I have Time Machine set up to backup my laptop, and it works just fine. I then decided, having enough space to spare, to point Time Machine of my girlfriend's laptop to the same backup location (she had been backing up to an external drive).

After setting everything up (network location, password, and everything), Time Machine happily starts backing up: Until it just stops copying/transferring data. 

I start with a fresh, new, clean backup and I get no error message of any kind; after Time Machine selected the files to back up (= first run, so everything gets selected; that's about 40gb) it starts copying everything. But then it just stops. No errors, no progress, no anything.

This usually happens after having copied between 1 and 3 gb (I tried multiple times). Being on a gigabit ethernet, the copying is pretty fast; the first gb takes minutes. I even proceeded to letting the laptop run its backup through the night; even after a dozen hours, the indicator still is stuck at "1.27 gb of 40.24 gb" (or whatever). 

I went so far as to check the laptop's hard drive (no errors). The backup system appears to work just fine; after all, Time Machine starts the backup just fine and doesn't report any errors or issues. (Also, if there was something wrong with it, it shouldn't work with my own laptop, either.) The only difference I could think of is that my laptop runs Lion, while my girlfriend's still runs Snow Leopard (both to their respective newest versions; could this discrepancy be the cause of any incompatibilities?).

Hardware :: Speed Test For Latest Time Capsule / Copying Large File Of Over Giga

May 18, 2010

I'm wondering if someone with the latest Time Capsule (announced last week) can post the results of copying a large file (such as your iPhoto library or equivalent - ideally over 500MB) from the HD on your Mac to the HD on the TC over GigE.

Please report the time in seconds for the copy to complete and the size of the file. I'd like to understand if they changed the QoS on transfers to the TC HD.

MacBook Pro :: Data Retrieval From Time Capsule?

Apr 9, 2012

Is it hard to pull your information that was saved on the Time Capsule to a new hard-drive?  My old hard-drive died & I have been afraid of accessing my Time Capsule for the saved information. Would accessing the 'old' information [& retrieving it], erase or corrupt the new information/files on my 'new' hard-drive? I would like to know exact steps to access & retrieve the information to unify all my saved 'stuff' on the new hard-drive & then restart the back-up of my computer to the Time Caspule again.....

Hardware :: How Does Time Capsule Store User Data

Sep 1, 2009

I got the original 1 TB Time Capsule when it first came out, and set it up with user accounts so that everyone in my house would have their own individual space as well as a shared space that everyone could use.

When I turned off accounts mode and switched back to using the Time Capsule password to access a single shared volume, I got a look at how the Time Capsule organized its files (or so I thought).

There were two folders in the root of the drive, Shared and Users. Within Shared was all the shared data on the Time Capsule that everyone could access, and within Users were a set of subfolders, one for each user account I had set up. Within each of those was the data for that user.

However I recently decided to revisit the way my Time Capsule was set up, so I switched back to Time Capsule password mode to affect changes to the layout of the drive. (In the past, I had been able to shuffle files between users this way, and even between the private and public areas of the drive, then simply switch back to accounts mode and my changes would stick.)

But it seems Apple has changed the way the Time Capsule does this, probably with a recent firmware update. I turned off accounts and switched back to Time Capsule password mode today, and saw the expected folder structure. However I then removed all the user data (including account folders) and left the Users folder empty. Then I went into AirPort Utility, removed all the accounts, and recreated them. When I checked Time Capsule password mode, there were no account folders. I figured maybe you had to connect as the user once before the folder would be created, but no dice. I even put some files in there then checked Time Capsule password mode, but there was no user folder and I have no idea where it's keeping the data. It's not under Shared nor is it anywhere that I can see under Users.

Hardware :: Time Capsule And External Hard Drive - Access Data

Mar 27, 2009

I have a new mac mini and a vista pc on the same network. I want to have my pictures, videos and itunes library on a time capsule so I can access them with my mac and pc. I will not be using time capsule as a backup drive. What I want to know is if I can use an external HD to backup my time capsule content. Would it be better to plug the drive to the capsule with usb or to the mac with fw800? The reason I want a time capsule and not a nas is because time capsule is a router at the same time, which means I save space on my desk and dont have to mess around with different components for my network to work fast.

Hardware :: Data Transfer Slow Speed Rate To Time Capsule

Apr 25, 2009

I did some experimenting this evening to assess data transfer rates to various storage items in my home network which uses a new Time Capsule as the router/hub.

Connected to the Time Capsule are the following:
- Mac Pro (GigE)
- Vista Machine (GigE)
- MBA (Wifi)
- Raptor Drive (USB 2)
- Time Capsule Drive (Internal)

Transferring a 650MB file between devices yielded the following results:
MP > Vista (GigE) = 288 Mbps
MP > MBA (5GHz) = 52 Mbps
MP > MBA (2.4GHz) = 43 Mbps
MP > Raptor (TC USB) = 38 Mbps
MP > TC Drive (Internal) = 38 Mbps
MBA (5GHz) > TC Drive (Internal) = 22 Mbps

It seems that transferring files to a USB drive or the internal drive on the Time Capsule is painfully slow. It took 2:20 to transfer the 650MB file to the Time Capsule over GigE vs. 0:20 seconds to another machine. What's worse, is that the data transfer speeds to the TC are a function of link speed, the slower your connection, the slower your transfer rates. It's not simply limited by some bottle-neck in the TC. It took 3:45 to transfer the same file to the TC from the MacBook Air over the 5GHz WiFi connection. When I complained about this the other day at the Apple store, the "Genius" said that it's due to QOS built into the router to ensure it doesn't kill my web browsing.

MacBook Pro :: Hard-drive Is Full, Can Move A Lot Of The Data To 3 TB Time Capsule

Jun 3, 2012

I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro 17 Inch with 750 GB of space on its hard drive.  About a month and half ago I bought a 3 TB Time Capsule and I know that Time Capsule, together with Time Machine, basically takes periodic snapshots of your hard drive and will rearrange/clean/delete files on your hard drive.  What I want to know is that since I'm about to run out of space on the internal hard drive can I move a good chunk of the data into the Time Capsule and free up that data on internal hard drive.  Videos take up about 75% of my MacBook Pro's hard drive so video's are my biggest problem.  If I can't do this with the Time Capsule I guess that's a con of the Time Capsule/Time Machine.

MacBook Pro (17-inch Late 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.4)

Hardware :: Time Capsule And Mounted "Data" Drive

Jan 19, 2010

I use my time capsule to store some shared files on my home network. When I access these file from the time capsule a mounted drive (share? I don�t know what it�s called) appears on my desktop. This has been working great. The problem is, if more then one user is logged in to the computer only the first user who accessed the mounted drive called �Data� can access it, the others get permission denied.

Mac Mini :: Using Mac Mini As Time Capsule To Backup Data?

Except for the wireless routing capabilities, is it possible to use a mac mini as a Time Capsule to backup data from my other macbooks wirelessly?

All the macs will be hooked to the same wireless network FYI.Do I need any specific software to do that? Obviously I will be adding an external hard drive to the mac mini to support more storage space.

OS X :: Copying Nearly 400 GB Worth Of Data From One Mac To Another?

Dec 4, 2009

I can rule out the home network for this job - way too slow, even at wireless-G speeds. Therefore, I'm going to be using an external Firewire 400 HDD to do the copy. I've already copied the data on the source Mac to the drive. How long will I have to wait for the copy job to complete (ignoring time spent setting up the drive and getting its cables moved/connected)? The destination Mac runs Snow Leopard, and supports Firewire 400. The source Mac runs Tiger, and is PowerPC-based (it's a Rev C iMac G5, with its memory upgraded to 2.5 GB and HDD upgraded to 320 GB), if that makes any difference - it's limited to FireWire 400 only, and lacks a FW 800 port.

OS X :: Large Amounts Of Data Copying?

I have 1.9TB on one drive, 645GB on another; I want to copy all that data onto a separate 6TB drive....

What's the fastest way to do this? I have already begun w/ 2 cp -pR commands, running in different Terminal windows, but seem to be getting lower disk activity numbers in Activity Monitor than I was with a brief test of a Finder copy... is that possible?

Any suggestions? Also looking for a (relatively) efficient way to verify the copied data after the fact.

MacBook Pro :: Ate Data When Copying Folder?

I'm a new mac user coming from Windows. I was copying a folder called Projects from my external drive to my MBP over the existing Projects folder thinking contents will be added to the existing content. However it seems that the old contents were deleted and new ones added. Is this how Mac OS operates? Is there a possibility to recover all this lost data? It's really annoying and it seems like a bug.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: How To Move Data Without Copying It

May 24, 2012

A few days ago, the Apple Store gave me a free "upgrade" on my MacBook Pro, from 10.6.8 to 10.7.3. However, Apple's gift has turned into a nightmare for me. I'm far too busy with work deadlines to have time for the 10.7.3 learning curve at the moment. Instead, I just want to go back to the pleasingly predictable 10.6.8. Therefore, I'm going to back up all my data onto an external hard drive, then completely erase the internal hard drive, and just start again, with a clean install of 10.6.8.

However, in order to do that, I first need to retrieve a 200 GB folder from the Trash. The folder which is in the Trash has NOT been deleted. Instead, it's just sitting in the Trash, waiting to be deleted. However, when I attempt to drag the 200 GB folder out of the Trash, and put it back on the Desktop, 10.7.3 starts copying the entire folder, instead of what 10.6.8 would have done, which would have simply moved the folder onto the Desktop without copying it.

In plain English, all I want to do is MOVE a 200 GB folder out of the Trash, onto the desktop, without copying the folder. Simple in 10.6.8. An apparent impossibility in 10.7.3. I've tried holding the Command key down while dragging the folder out of the Trash, but that doesn't work. Any workaround, which would apply to the entire hard drive, plus all external hard drives, even if it has to be a Command Line which I type into Terminal, that would be brilliant.

Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8), 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. 4 GB RAM

Power Mac G5 :: Copying Data From Dual 2.0 G5 To Formac Raven 1TB Ext FW400/800 HD?

Nov 9, 2007

1. I've just purchased the Formac Raven 1TB Drive (Firewire 400&800)
(Formatted into 2 Partitions Mac OS Extended Jour)2. I'm trying to copy large amounts of data (100-200GB) from either my 2 internal drives on my Dual 2.0Ghz G5 (OS 10.4.10) or from the USB 2.0 Freecom 500GB Drive to the Raven 1TB Drive.

3. After 4-20GB of data has been copied the copy window just sits there and won't go any further! I have to turn the Raven off and then back on again to stop it!

4. I have tried both FW400 and FW800 ports on my G5, but still the same problem.

5. I have verified all drives and repaired any errors and fixed permissions.

6. The Raven have been low level formatted, and split into 2 partitions.

7. I have a MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo (OS 10.4.10) , and have copied 200GB from it to the Raven without any probs!

8. Any ideas why the G5 won't allow me to copy large amounts of data?
Single file copying is fine! eg. Disk images of 4-7GB

MBP C2D 2.16Ghz, G5 Dual 2.0Ghz, iPod Mini 4Gb, iPod Nano 8Gb

OS X :: Stream Music From Time Capsule To Mac Mini / Hookup Mini To Time Capsule Via USB

Jul 19, 2009

I am planning on purchasing a mac mini solely for the purpose of playing music - it will be hooked up to a hi-fi amplifier and speakers. All of the music that will be on the computer will be in lossless format, which is very large. I will need a lot (320+ GB?) of storage.

I'm wondering if I can cut costs by buying an old 80 GB mini and augmenting its hard drive with a time capsule. I was planning on buying a time capsule anyway, so I could save something like $300. My questions are: would I be able to stream music from the time capsule to the mac mini? Would I be able to import music from itunes directly onto the time capsule? If I hook the mini up to the time capsule via USB, can it serve as a hard-drive, even if my internet is down? Is it going to be much more worth my time to buck up and buy a new 320 GB mini?
