![]() When I was unable to do so, I followed the step by step re-install of an OS on a new drive, which ended up being Catalina (much to my chagrin). I spent weeks trying to figure out how to install the ORIGINAL OS on that machine which was Mavericks. That is the computer with the new drive which is now running Catalina. Time machine was not even recognized even though it appears in Do you still have the device that created the original TM backup to the Time Capsule? If so can you still access the Time Capsule on that or does it require a password as well? I was unable to reinstall via time machine. I simply want to transfer the data from TM (Airport) to the SSD, remove that drive so I can cherry pick the data I wish to save which is mostly music and pictures. The computer that is failing (display issues) has a new 2 TB SSD. Are you trying to install a Time Machine backup onto a computer different to the one that created the backup? If so that is not "re" installing that's installing or restoring.Īnd if I understand correctly you want to put this data on a device that is "failing" then keep the HD but dispose of the device. I'm a bit confused about your objective here. I was pretty aware of that possibility the moment my password failed and double checked. My system of passwords is very effective and until now, foolproof. I don't use any kind of password manager, it's pen and paper for me. As a technological troglodyte I tend to keep things as simple as possible and avoid extra steps like the plague. I would not have encrypted the TM back up, partly because of fear of what I'm going through now, and partly because it's an extra step. To elaborate further, I haven't used TM for over a year, I used Super Duper, but there is 900 gig of data on the TM that I'd like to access now and transfer it to a hard drive so I have access to it in the future without needing to re-install the OS, or anything other than the data I wish to cherry pick. ![]() Time Capsule appears in finder, but when I click on it, it also asks for a password. ![]() This is a wireless airport, not a hard drive physically connected to the computer. I have written down every Apple password I've ever used. It then tells me that I'm trying to connect to the server named, in this case "Ken's Time Capsule" and when I click on connect, a password box appears. When I click on the appropriate disk, of which there is only 1, making my choice fairly simple, I highlight the disk, click on USE DISK. When I go to system preferences, I get a "select disk" dialog box. When I click on the icon in applications, it takes me to today. Well, what I was intending to do is take the TM back up and use it to reinstall the data on a computer that is failing, then remove the hard drive and get rid of the computer.
