Last week the electrisity was off in my flat and Time Capsule died. No lights, no network but hard drive spin up. Can I get the files from TC? If yes please tell me how. Thanks
You’ll need to swap the drive with another Time Capsule unit that’s assuming the drive is still good.
Ok.. here I created a new thread to show how I both removed the files from a HD directly removed from a TC.. and then since you seem to have not read what I wrote on the previous thread how I format it and put it back in the TC. This drive is a 1TB WD from a Gen3 TC. Here is the drive plugged in via USB to a Mac.
Here is the said drive showing up in Finder.
Here is the Main Data files on the TC drive.
Here is me copying these same pictures to the said drive.
Here is the data about the TC drive from disk utility.
You would need to remove the hard drive and connect it to your mac to recover the data off of it. Ill give a link and find your model and removal procedure. It isnt very hard to remove. Once its removed, you will most likely need a sata to usb adapter to connect it. Just do a search for sata to usb adapter and you should find one that will work. Apple Time Capsule Repair
