Hi guys,
I got my MBP repaired and now need to install my backup file from my Time Capsule. Mac is a fresh install, so I selected my language, selected WiFi and logged in, and then chose to read a backup file. It finds my Time Capsule, and when I click the continue button it asks for the password to the TC. After entering that, nothing happens. The little spinner below my TC just keeps spinning saying “searching for other sender discs” (in Danish).

I then figured I’d do a clean install and then restore to my backup after that, so I just did that. I then went to the “transfer assistant” (again in Danish) to try and restore from my TC again; but it’s the same story. After I enter my password to the TC nothing happens.

what can I do to get it to restore my data? If I just open Time Machine, it doesn’t show my backup files. But if I open Finder and click my TC to the left, I can easily connect and I can see my .backupbundle files there. Wtf?

Ps can confirm I am on the right wifi

Rather than deleting my post, I want to share my solution in case anyone else has this issue. When my MBP was reset, it went back to an older MacOS. After I went to App Store and updates to the latest MacOS, my Time Capsule could now successfully load up
