• Airport Time Capsule and change provider to wide band

  I recently changed my broadband provider and need help with my Airport Time Capsule. I currently have backup via an ethernet cable wireless for Macbook Pro and iMac, Plug and connect every day (although I've never been certain that it's the right or even the simplest method.)

  (1) that I have to back my TC and, if so, should what steps I take?

  (2) should what changes I make on the iMac and Macbook Pro?

  (3) when I bought the TC on the local Apple Store, I was told there was a way in which I could have the TC located in another room of the House, connected wireless constantly and discreetly safeguard to avoid Plug and connect the cable manually each time.  I have sought confirmation of this but could not find any instructions.  Expert advice would be very welcome.

  Thank you very much.

  If your router broadband main has changed, it is often necessary to reset the TC factory and redo the installation.

  I don't know if your main router has been changed as well as the offshore service provider broadband, but if so, then, reset is necessary. Only if the TC was bridged it can be left to himself... so to speak.

  1. to answer this, I need to understand why your backup is not configured for continuous backup now.

  2. of course, it is difficult to answer this question without knowing 1. but I'm not sure why you are constantly plug and unplug the TC.

  How the iMac's internet? It is connected by ethernet to the main ISP router and then you are exchanging autour cables because the TC is not configured in the network?

  Same thing with the MBP...

  3. what said you was not quite correct...

  The TC, FAILED to connect on the main wireless router or the modem... it must use ethernet. However, ethernet can run in the next room in the House and can backup from there without problem... more wireless computers.

  You can do wireless links by adding a second router wireless to apple... but makes it much more complicated but also less reliable. Wireless links are unreliable enough without adding a second.

  The best configuration is the TC directly connected by short cord to the main modem or to the router provided by your ISP. Then tell me the make and model of this device.

  If you were hoping for hitting the autonomous TC and connect wireless to the main router which is not going to happen. Apple makes their routers NOT interface with any other wireless brand.

  Tell me how the iMac connects to internet and MBP as well.

• Extend the reach of the WiFi with airport Time Capsule and Airport Express

  I want to extend the range of my WiFi network running on a Time Capsule with an Airport Extreme airport. The Internet, ADSL, signal goes from the cable box in a closet and has two Ethernet cables connecting the box. I installed a simple Ethernet switch and ran inside, with both Internet cables Ethernet Miss and in two rooms in my apartment. I created the Capsule of time like the WiFi router, then the Express in the other room in Bridge Mode to extend the range of the WiFi network and enable AirPlay. This configuration works well for a while, but after a certain time has problems. The Express seems to go back to the creation of the WiFi network on its own and I saw the problem of the conflict addreses DCHP.

  What seemed to work correctly using the Express as the "pivot" and I fell straight Internet on it and an Ethernet cable to connect the Time Capsule in Bridge Mode. It's far from ideal for me, however, because I like the Express to be in another room to extend the range of the WiFi network in this part of my apartment and be able to use it for AirPlay.

  Help, please.

  If you could let us know what operating system you use on your Mac or PC, we'll give you a configuration suggested for the AirPort Express, which will allow the Express and the Time Capsule to connect to the Ethernet switch and perform correctly.

  We assume that the switch and the wiring will function properly in your current configuration, as well as the time Capsule, is that correct?

• Airport Express, Time Capsule and Airport Express using the same network

  Just moved into a new House and this is what I install.  I have 7 Port wired into the House.

  Closet of network in the Garage:

  • Cable modem
  • Airport Express
  • netgear switch 8 ports
  • It works pretty well.  All my wired connections work fine.  Wireless is quite good but cove not enough of space in my house.

  Think about adding my airport express capsule of time in my office - plugged into one of the hard wired connections.  Who works AND let me wish the WIFI?

  Thank you!

  Yes fine, assuming that first test you the Ethernet port in the office by connecting a computer (with WIFI disabled on the computer) using a spare Ethernet cable runs to ensure that the computer can get a good connection in this way.

  Put the airport Time Capsule to create a wireless network that uses the exact same wireless network name and password in your existing network. Apple installation "Wizard" automatically configure airport Time Capsule in the correct setting of the Bridge Mode for the device.

• setting up time capsule and express wired after disconnection of the airport

  I have a 2 TB Time Capsule and three 3 wired express airport throughout my house.  I know that when I added first the cable express, that I had to call apple to change some settings.  Now I can't service because they are more than a year and after a recent quick breakdown (two or three) power is the airport expresses link is more and a bunch of my settings seem to have changed on the Time Capsule.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you

  If you think there are setting changes, then it would be better to start over.

  • First of all, you want to make a 'factory' reset on all of your base stations. This will return them to their "out-of-the-box" configuration Once finished, leave them turned off.
  • Then, we put up the Time Capsule (TC). Since it has been reset, it will broadcast a Wi - Fi unsecured network with a network name of something like: Apple network NNNNNN.
  • Use AirPort Utility on your iPhone, Mac or PC to configure the TC as a stand-alone wireless router. In other words, configure it to provide a secure WiFi network.
  • Once the TC has been configured, verify that the clients on your network can access the Internet with it.
  • If he succeeds, proceed to the next step. If this is not the case, stop and post back with your results.
  • We will now configure all of your base stations for a roaming network.
  • Power-up one of the three stations based AirPort Express.
  • Once again, you will need to use AirPort Utility to continue. The utility must now find the Express, and if all goes well, it will offer to the Express allows to extend the TC using Ethernet. It's what you want and just go through the steps automated window 'Installation '. And then on actually.
  • Do the same for the other two express base stations.

• How can implement you not with Tim Capsule and AirPort their simulation on the iMac?

  Hello

  How can implement you not with Time Capsule and AirPort their simulation on the iMac?

  I don't know what you're asking.

  AirPort Extreme is a wireless router.

  A Time Capsule airport is an AirPort Extreme with a built-in hard drive for data storage.

  An iMac is a Mac computer.

  An iMac is not a wireless router, so he is unable to perform the functions of a wireless router.

• Why didn't I go and turn my Airport Time Capsule to be able to backup?

  Hello.

  Why didn't I go and turn my Airport Time Capsule to be able to backup? It has been like this from day one. At the point where I keep my iMac off for a few days, my Time Capsule airport must be enabled and the new in order to save. Any suggestions?

  Concerning

  Simon

  Hello Ladro Maltese,

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  If I understand your message when you shut down your iMac a few days and then go back on you have to turn off your Time Capsule, then on again as well. I know how it is important for you to be able to have your Time Capsule works well. The first step that I recommend is to make sure that your Time Capsule firmware is up to date.

  This article includes information about how to manually and automatically check updates the firmware for your Time Capsule:

  Keep your base station to day.

  After updating the firmware see if the problem persists.

  Best regards

• Airport Time Capsule ethernet and WiFi installation

  I am trying to set up my home network, but also, somehow, the practice run for the configuration of my future business...

  Here is the component.

  -Modem: Fast 5250 BELL FIBE Home Hub 2000.

  -Airport Time Capsule 1 t (a big)

  -AirPort Extreme (large)

  -AirPort Express (size of the Apple TV)

  Here are the different coverage area and device usually used in the:

  -office: Printer via USB or ethernet, ethernet MacPro, 2xMacBookAir.

  -Living room: Smart TV, Apple TV2, PS4 (all via ethernet if possible) as well as a bunch of iOS devices and laptop computer via a Wi - Fi connection

  -In room: IOS, Apple TV via Wi - Fi device.

  So good, here's the catch, the modem's in the entry closet surrounded by concrete, so I close the Wi - Fi on it. Cable Ethernet running from there, at the office, upstairs room and the main living area. The plan was to put the TimeCapsule 1 t in the office, extreme in the living room and express on the floor. But I already have problems that they can't be all connect via Ethernet in the modem... Oh! What a mess, he made... So I saw on the support page from apple, is it better to put the airport Time capsule 1 t as principal to create the network. So if I put the Capsule in the closet as the main will be backup my stuff via ethernet?

  Also, I have the older version of Time Capsule (dish 500 GB). Shud I use it as the main airport will be connected to it via ethernet anyway?

  And finally, I connect to the modem using PPPoE bell hand and another airport the main via Bridge DHCP mode. Is this fair?

  Probably all covered already in other posts sorry if it is redundant. Thanks in advance for taking the time to help me.

• iCloud photo library and airport time capsule

  I'm willing to put in place a back up of my macbook pro and think using an airport time capsule.

  However, I also want to start using iCloud photo library.  I prefer not to keep the original photos on any of my devices to keep the space they use to a minimum.  I was wondering if I can save the originals in the time capsule and also use it for back ups, although I understand that this is not the safest place to keep the two sets of data.  Alternatively, if I can get an external hard drive to time capsule with a job to organize the original photos.  Can the time capsule also back up this external hard drive.

  So I would then:

  • My macbook pro saved on the Time Capsule and, possibly, the iMac to my wife, if possible
  • Pictures saved on the hard drive external and saved on the Time Capsule
  • Photos stored in iCloud photo library

  Seems to me have asked a lot of questions and do not know if it's a very complicated way to get a result.

  1 - iCloud library is not a backup

  2 - question TM are really better ask in the forum OS for your computer - we are users of Photos either way by using TM - not the TM experts - these links are also useful - use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple Support - http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html

  3 - when you have the original photos on the TM volume you do not have a backup at all - when the TM drive fails, you lose all

  4 - TM I do not (see #2) backup hard drive attached

  5 - Yes, you can back up several computer for a TC - I do hourly

  6. the best IMHO is what I do - a mac equipped with a player of great size that all photos and original and is saved by using TM hourly and a clone of all the more days and other Macs with storage drive limited with optimized photos

• Time Machine (on Mac) does not detect the airport Time Capsule

  Originally posted on the page of the airport, but seems to be the better question for this group. Sorry for the double post

  Looking for advice on how to get the Time Machine utility for access to my Time Capsule. I use an iMac in late 2012 with MAC OS 10.12 TimeCapsule is 2015 7.7.7 running latest firmware. Airport utility is the latest firmware 6.3.7.

  When I run the application Time Machine, Time Capsule is not detected. I tried the two WiFi and with cables connected Ethernet (not tried USB yet) and my Time Capsule doesn't have a lightning bolt or firewire ports.

  Open Airport utility & see the airport time capsule. I can see all connected devices, including the MAC, but no prompt activation Time Machine on the Time Capsule.

  I recently used TM on this iMac with a G-Technology drive. It auto detects the time machine and executes a back up. But airport Time Capsule will not.

  Any suggestions?

  Sierra has been problematic with the TC.

  1. make sure you don't have any charge virus protection software. In fact, I would say that disable all software 3rd part at the moment.

  2. make sure that you can actually write to disk of TC.

  Attach the TC disc in the finder and copy a file on disk, you can delete it later... It's just to ensure that you have full write permission. If it does not for the most part, you won't be able to use Time Machine... If you can then try TM immediately...

  Just to be clear, the TC is a network device. You have tested with ethernet and wireless... Ok.. They are only suitable methods. You cannot use USB. And clearly, TC has never had nor will never be ports Firewire or lightning.

  3. no chance that a reset complete TC. This will not delete the files on the hard drive, but you must make sure that the device is configured on the current computer.

  4. There are many positions in these days... read through them and do some research. Sierra is a bleeding edge new... So wait you to spend a lot of the precious liquid if you choose to be an early adopt.

• HOW THE AIRPORT TIME CAPSULE WIRELESS NETWORK IS PROTECTED?

  I implemented the airport Time Capsule, using a DSL modem connected to the internet as its bridge.  MacBook Pro was used for initial set up by the bolt of lightning to Ethernet connector and then disconnected and works perfectly.  Now, I would like to use Wi - Fi for my Samsung phone not iOS.  On the Samsung wireless I connect to my home network using a password.  Well, I don't think that a password was never set.  How can I configure my wifi at home to establish a password?   I don't think that the modem settings should enter in solving this for me, but I'll add that the modem required a static IP address be entered for this connection when its router features have been disabled for the connection of bridge.

  If the Time Capsule (TC) provides the wireless network, then you can secure it using AirPort Utility, as follows:

  • Run the AirPort Utility.
  • Select the TC and then, select change.
  • Select the wireless tab.
  • In the wireless security, select the type of security. I highly recommend that you choose: WPA2 Personal
  • Enter a password in the field password wireless. Enter the same password in the verify password.
  • Select Update.

  

• AirPort Time Capsule Help!

  I have an airport Time Capsule, which supported my computer for the last 2 years.  We have recently changed our router and now cannot save.  This is obviously because of the wifi name and different password for what is stored in the time Capsule.  I looked at various manuals and notes help but it says click on edit and I don't see it.  There is no change when I go to Applications - Utilities - airport, just my time capsule with

  Open Airport utility. Go to wireless setup using the menu of the button on the upper part of the Airport utility display window. Here, you can change what you need to change - the network name Wi - Fi and the new password. Click Update when finished.

• Parameter problem to the airport Time Capsule

  Already, we currently have a WiFi system with a NetGear router and a modem from Time Warner.

  I just want to use the airport Time Capsule to back up my Mac.  My husband has a PC.  I followed the instructions but the airport still comes up in the utility.

  Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 and the latest 802.11 ac 3 TB so I don't know what I'm doing wrong.  I plug an Ethernet cable at the airport, then in the Modem - nothing after I plug the power - Amber flashing light.  I have changed ports unplugged and plugged back in French - restart the Modem.  Nothing works.  I bought it so it would work straight out of the box - so far, I have spent a lot of time trying to understand it.

  Any help would be so appreciated!
